PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
 
The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee in return for the Certificates. As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect that the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the Cap Agreement, (ii) the Reserve Fund, (iii) the right to receive and the obligation to pay Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls, (iv) the right to receive and the obligation to pay AFC Shortfalls, (v) the right to receive and the obligation to pay the Class A-IO Termination Amount, (vi) the Swap Agreement, (vii) the Swap Account, (viii) the Supplemental Interest Trust and (ix) any Additional Collateral (collectively, the “Excluded Trust Assets”)) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising four real estate mortgage investment conduits under Section 860D of the Code (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative “REMIC 1,” “REMIC 2,” “REMIC 3” and “REMIC 4,” REMIC 4 also being referred to as the “Upper Tier REMIC”). Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC elections.
 
Each Certificate, other than the Class RL and Class R Certificates, represents ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. In addition, for federal income tax purposes, each Certificate, other than the Class RL and Class R Certificates and the Class X and Class P Certificates, represents (i) the right to receive payments with respect to any Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls and (ii) the right to receive and the obligation to pay AFC Shortfalls. The Class R Certificates represent ownership of the sole Class of residual interest in each of REMIC 2, REMIC 3 and the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class RL Certificates represent ownership of the sole class of residual interest in REMIC 1.
 
The Upper Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Interests in REMIC 3, other than the R-3 Interest, and each such Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 3 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. REMIC 3 shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Interests in REMIC 2, other than the R-2 Interest, and each such Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 2 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. REMIC 2 shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Interests in REMIC 1, other than the R-1 Interest, and each such Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 1 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. REMIC 1 shall hold as its assets the property of the Trust Fund other than the Interests in REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 and the Excluded Trust Assets.
 
The startup day for each REMIC created hereby for purposes of the REMIC Provisions is the Closing Date. In addition, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the latest possible maturity date for each regular interest in each REMIC created hereby is the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
 
REMIC 1:
 
The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances, and interest rates for each interest in REMIC 1, each of which (other than the R-1 Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 1 (the “REMIC 1 Regular Interests”):

(1)
This REMIC 1 Regular Interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in Pool 1. The interest rate for this Lower Tier Interest for each Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage Loans in Pool 1 as of the first day of the related Due Period for such Distribution Date, minus the product of (i) 12, (ii) the amount paid from the Trust Fund during the related Accrual Period to the extent such amounts were paid for ordinary or routine expenses (not including any expenses relating to the Swap Agreement) and were not taken into account in computing the Net Mortgage Rate of any Mortgage Loan and (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal balance, as of the beginning of the related Accrual Period, of the Mortgage Loans in Pool 1 and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal balance, as of the beginning of the related Accrual Period, of all the Mortgage Loans.
 
 
(2)
This REMIC 1 Regular Interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the excess of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in Pool 2 as of the Cut-off Date over the sum of the initial principal balances of the Class T1-F and Class T1-V interests.
 
 
(3)
For any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) the interest rate for the T1-A Interest is a per annum rate equal to the Pool 2 Net WAC, minus the product of (i) 12, (ii) the amount paid from the Trust Fund during the related Accrual Period to the extent such amounts were paid for ordinary or routine expenses (not including any expenses relating to the Swap Agreement) and were not taken into account in computing the Net Mortgage Rate of any Mortgage Loan and (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal balance, as of the beginning of the related Accrual Period, of the Mortgage Loans in Pool 2 and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal balance, as of the beginning of the related Accrual Period, of all the Mortgage Loans (the “Pool 2 REMIC WAC”).
 
 
(4)
For any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) the interest rate for this REMIC 1 Regular Interest shall be the lesser of (i) 10.812% and (ii) the product of (a) the Pool 2 REMIC WAC and (b) 2.
 
 
(5)
For any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) the interest rate for this REMIC 1 Regular Interest shall be the excess, if any, of (i) the product of (a) the Pool 2 REMIC WAC and (b) 2, over (ii) 10.812%.
 
 
(6)
The R-1 Interest shall not have a principal amount and shall not bear interest. The R-1 Interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC 1. The Class RL Certificates shall represent ownership of the R-1 Interest.
 
 
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall first pay or charge as an expense of REMIC 1 all expenses of the Trust for such Distribution Date other than any expenses relating to the Swap Agreement.
 
On each Distribution Date, interest distributable in respect of the Mortgage Loans for such Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Interests in REMIC 1 at the rates shown above.
 

3


On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses and all payments of principal in respect of the Mortgage Loans in Pool 1 shall be allocated to the Class T1-Pool-1 Interest until the principal balance of such Interest is reduced to zero.
 
On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses and all payments of principal in respect of the Mortgage Loans in Pool 2 shall be allocated to the Class T1-A Interest until the principal balance of such Interest is reduced to zero, and then to the Class T1-F and Class T1-V Interests, in equal amounts to each such Class, until the principal balance of each such Interest is reduced to zero.
 
On each Distribution Date, all prepayment premiums or penalties or yield maintenance payments received with respect to Pool 1 during the related Prepayment Period (to the extent payable to the Class P Certificates) shall be distributed to the T1-Pool-1 Interest. On each Distribution Date, all prepayment premiums or penalties or yield maintenance payments received with respect to Pool 2 during the related Prepayment Period (to the extent payable to the Class P Certificates) shall be distributed to the T1-F Interest.
 
REMIC 2:
 
The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances, and interest rates for each interest in REMIC 2, each of which (other than the R-2 Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 2 (the “REMIC 2 Regular Interests”):

(1)
The interest rate for this REMIC 2 Regular Interest for each Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) is equal to the interest rate on the T1-Pool-1 Interest in REMIC 1.
 
 
(2)
This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the excess of (a) the aggregate Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan in Pool 1 as of the Cut-off Date over (b) the sum of the initial principal balances of the interests in REMIC 2 containing the letters “A-IO-1” in their class designations.
 
 
(3)
The T2-IO-Swap Interest is an interest only class that does not have a principal balance. For each Distribution Date commencing in August 2007 through the Distribution Date in July 2011, the T2-IO-Swap Interest shall be entitled to interest accrued on the T1-F Interest at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the interest rate for the T1-F Interest for such Distribution Date over (ii) Swap LIBOR for such Distribution Date.
 
 
(4)
For any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) the interest rate for each of these REMIC 2 Regular Interest is a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates on the T1-A, T1-F and T1-V Interests for such Distribution Date, provided, however, that (i) for any Distribution Date on which the T2-IO-Swap Interest is entitled to a portion of the interest accruals on the T1-F Interest, as described in footnote three above, such weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting the rate on such REMIC 1 Regular Interest to a cap equal to Swap LIBOR for such Distribution Date.
 
 
(5)
This Interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the excess of (a) the aggregate Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan in Pool 2 as of the Cut-off Date over (b) the sum of the initial principal balances of the Interests in REMIC 2 containing the letters “A-IO-2” in their class designations.
 
 
(6)
The R-2 Interest shall not have a principal amount and shall not bear interest. The R-2 interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC 2.
 
On each Distribution Date, interest distributable in respect of the REMIC 1 Interests for such Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Interests in REMIC 2 at the rates shown above.
 
On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses and all payments of principal in respect of the Mortgage Loans in Pool 1 shall be allocated to the T2-Pool-1 Interest until the principal balance of such Interest is reduced to zero, and then to the Interests having the letters “A-IO-1” in their Class designation in descending order of their numerical designation until the principal balance of each such Interest is reduced to zero.
 
On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses and all payments of principal in respect of the Mortgage Loans in Pool 2 shall be allocated to the T2-Pool-2 Interest until the principal balance of such Interest is reduced to zero, and then to the Interests having the letters “A-IO-2” in their Class designation in descending order of their numerical designation until the principal balance of each such Interest is reduced to zero.
 
 
On each Distribution Date, all prepayment premiums or penalties or yield maintenance payments received with respect to Pool 1 during the related Prepayment Period (to the extent payable to the Class P Certificates) shall be distributed to the T2-30A-IO-1 Interest. On each Distribution Date, all prepayment premiums or penalties or yield maintenance payments received with respect to Pool 2 during the related Prepayment Period (to the extent payable to the Class P Certificates) shall be distributed to the T2-30A-IO-2 Interest.

This interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) for each of these REMIC 3 Regular Interests is a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) 0.00% and (ii) the weighted average of the interest rates on the each REMIC 2 Interest having an “A-IO” in its designation, the T2-Pool-1 Interest and T2-Pool-2 Interest, computed after (a) reducing the rate payable on each such REMIC 2 Interest having an “A-IO-1” in its Class designation by the Class A-IO(1) Component Interest Rate for such Distribution Date and (b) reducing the rate payable on each such REMIC 2 Interest having an “A-IO-2” in its Class designation by the Class A-IO(2) Component Interest Rate for such Distribution Date, for each Distribution Date on which interest is payable on its Corresponding REMIC 3 A-IO Interest (as described in footnote (2) or (4) above).
 
 
(6)
The T3-IO-Swap Interest shall not have a principal balance, but shall be entitled to receive, on each Distribution Date, 100% of the interest distributable on the Class T2-IO-Swap Interest in REMIC 2.
 
 
(7)
The R-3 Interest shall not have a principal amount and shall not bear interest. The R-3 interest is hereby designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC 3.
 
 
(8)
This interest shall have an initial principal amount equal to one percent of the Pool Subordinate Amount for Pool 1 as of the Cut-off Date.
 
 
(9)
This interest shall have an initial principal amount equal to the excess of (i) one half of the sum of the outstanding principal balances of the Pool 1 Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date over (ii) the aggregate initial principal balance of the T3-PSA-1 interest, the T3-1-A1 interest, the T3-1-A2 interest, the T3-1-A3 interest, the T3-1-A4 interest and the T3-1-A5 interest.
 
 
(10)
This interest shall have an initial principal amount equal to one percent of the Pool Subordinate Amount for Pool 2 as of the Cut-off Date.
 
 
(11)
This interest shall have an initial principal amount equal to the excess of (i) one half of the sum of the outstanding principal balances of the Pool 2 Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date over (ii) the initial principal balance of the T3-PSA-2 interest, the T3-2-A1 interest, the T3-2-A2 interest, the T3-2-A3 interest and the T3-2-A4 interest.
 
(12) This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the excess of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date over the sum of the initial principal balances of each other interest in REMIC 3.
 
 
On each Distribution Date, interest distributable in respect of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests shall be distributed with respect to each of the Interests in REMIC 3 based on the above-described interest rates, provided, however, that interest that accrues on the T3-Q Interest shall be deferred to the extent necessary to make the principal distributions described in priorities (i) through (v) below for such Distribution Date. Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the T3-Q Interest.
 
On each Distribution Date, the principal distributed on the REMIC 2 Regular Interests (together with an amount equal to the interest deferred on the Class T3-Q Interest for such Distribution Date) shall be distributed, and Realized Losses shall be allocated, among the Interests in REMIC 3 in the following order of priority:
 

11


(i) first, to the T3-PSA-1 interest until its outstanding principal amount equals one percent of the Pool Subordinate Amount for Pool 1 immediately after such Distribution Date;
 
(ii) second, to the T3-PSA-2 interest until its outstanding principal amount equals one percent of the Pool Subordinate Amount for Pool 2 immediately after such Distribution Date;
 
(iii) third, to each remaining interest in REMIC 3 having a Corresponding Class in REMIC 4 (other than a REMIC 3 interest having an “A-IO” in its class designation) until the outstanding principal amount of each such interest equals one-quarter of the outstanding principal amount of the Corresponding Class of Certificates for such interest immediately after such Distribution Date;
 
(iv) fourth, to the T3-Pool-1 Interest until the aggregate principal balance of such interest, the T3-PSA-1 interest, the T3-1-A1 interest, the T3-1-A2 interest, the T3-1-A3 interest, the T3-1-A4 interest and the T3-1-A5 interest equals one half of the sum of the outstanding principal balances of the Pool 1 Mortgage Loans immediately after such Distribution Date;
 
(v) fifth, to the T3-Pool-2 Interest until the aggregate principal balance of such interest, the T3-PSA-2 interest, the T3-2-A1 interest, the T3-2-A2 interest, the T3-2-A3 interest and the T3-2-A4 interest equals one half of the sum of the outstanding principal balances of the Pool 2 Mortgage Loans immediately after such Distribution Date; and
 
(vi) finally, to the Class T3-Q Interest, any remaining amounts.
 
On each Distribution Date, all prepayment premiums or penalties or yield maintenance payments received during the related Prepayment Period (to the extent payable to the Class P Certificates) with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the T3-Q Interest.

(a) Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Seller has made certain representations and warranties as to the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date, including representations and warranties that no Mortgage Loan is a “high-cost home loan” as defined under any local, state, or federal laws, and the Seller, the Depositor and the Trustee intend that the Mortgage Loans (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans) included in the Trust Fund satisfy such representations and warranties. Upon discovery or receipt of notice of (i) any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, (ii) the breach by the Seller of the representation set forth in Section 6(j) of the Purchase Agreement or (iii) the breach by the Seller of any other representation, warranty or covenant under the related Revolving Purchase Agreement or the Diligence Agreement in respect of any Re-sold Mortgage Loan or the Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan that in the case of this clause (iii) materially and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation under the related Revolving Purchase Agreement or the Diligence Agreement or the Purchase Agreement (i) 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, to proceed thereafter diligently and expeditiously to cure the same within the additional period provided under the related Revolving Purchase Agreement, the Diligence Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, (ii) in connection with any such breach (subject to clause (i) above) or any missing or defective document required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(i) or 2.01(ii)(A), to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price within 120 days after the date on which the Seller was notified of such breach, and (iii) in connection with any other document required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof that is missing or defective, notwithstanding any delivery of an affidavit with respect to a missing Mortgage Note pursuant to Section 2.01, to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price within 10 Business Days after receipt of notification from the Trustee that the absence of such document or defect with respect thereto has materially impaired the ability of the Trustee to enforce the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage, in each case if and to the extent that the Seller is obligated to do so under the related Revolving Purchase Agreement, the Diligence Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, as applicable. The Trustee shall also enforce the Seller’s indemnification obligations under the related Revolving Purchase Agreement, the Diligence Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, if applicable. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of purchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the related Revolving Purchase Agreement, the Diligence Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, as applicable, 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). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure, repurchase (or to substitute 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, or to indemnify the Trust Fund or the Trustee, shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
 

67


In addition, if the Value of REO Property from Foreclosure Restricted Loans would equal or exceed 0.75% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the end of any Due Period, the Seller, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, shall purchase at fair market value on or prior to the related Distribution Date sufficient REO Property related to Foreclosure Restricted Loans or Foreclosure Restricted Loans which are in default to cause the Trustee to hold REO Property related to Foreclosure Restricted Loans with a Value of less than 0.75% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and such proceeds shall be treated as received during the related Prepayment Period. For purposes of this paragraph, the “Value” of REO Property related to a Foreclosure Restricted Loan shall be treated as equal to the Principal Balance of the related Foreclosure Restricted Loan plus interest that had accrued on such Mortgage Loan as of the date of acquisition of the REO Property by the Trustee. The Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligations under this paragraph in accordance with the provision of the preceding paragraph of this Section with respect to breaches of representations and warranties.
 

68


In the event that the purchase of a Foreclosure Restricted Loan cannot be effected prior to the acquisition of title to (or beneficial ownership interest in) the related REO Property and the acquisition of such title (or such beneficial ownership interest) would cause the limit described in the preceding paragraph to be exceeded, the Seller’s purchase of the related REO Property shall be deemed to have occurred on the date of (and immediately prior to) such acquisition of title or beneficial ownership interest and the fair market value for such Foreclosure Restricted Loan (which shall be computed as of such date) shall be paid by the Seller promptly upon notice from the Trustee that such title or beneficial ownership interest has been acquired.
 
The Seller shall have the right, and the obligation, to repurchase Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund to the limited extent provided in Section 7 of the Purchase Agreement or the Revolving Purchase Agreements, as applicable, and in this Section. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan by the Seller pursuant to Section 7 of the Purchase Agreement or a Revolving Purchase Agreement shall be effected in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
 
The Seller shall have the option, but not the obligation, to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Removable Mortgage Loan in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d). The Seller’s option shall be exercisable on the date that such Mortgage Loan becomes 30 days delinquent, provided that in no event shall any such substitution of a Removable Mortgage Loan occur after September 30, 2007. If the Seller exercises such option with respect to any Removable Mortgage Loan, such Mortgage Loan shall be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan). Without regard to whether the related Mortgagor subsequently makes a late Monthly Payment, the Seller shall retain its right to exercise the option described above.
 
(b) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Depositor or receipt of notice by the Depositor of the breach of any representation or warranty of the Depositor set forth in Section 3.03 with respect to any Mortgage Loan, which materially and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, and that does not also constitute a breach of a representation or warranty of the Seller in the related Revolving Purchase Agreement, the Depositor shall (i) cure such breach in all material respects, (ii) repurchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the Purchase Price or (iii) remove such Mortgage Loan 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). The Purchase Price for any repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be delivered to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall at the Depositor’s direction release to the Depositor the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment furnished by the Depositor, in each case without recourse, as the Depositor shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Depositor any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
 

69


(c) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 3.01 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.
 
(d) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a), in the case of the Seller, or Section 2.03(b), in the case of the Depositor, must be effected prior to the date that is two years after the Closing Date, unless the Seller delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such substitution will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.
 
With respect to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller or the Depositor substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, by delivering to the Trustee in exchange 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, together with an Officer’s Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Amount, if any, in connection with such substitution. The Trustee shall acknowledge receipt of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within 45 Business Days thereafter, review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to the Depositor and the Master Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the Master Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the Due Period of substitution will not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be. For the Due Period of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan in such Due Period 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 Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Trustee 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 and to the Master Servicer. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute a Mortgage Loan hereunder and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the related Revolving Purchase Agreement if such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan will replace a Re-sold Mortgage Loan or and the Purchase Agreement if the Qualified Substitution Mortgage Loan will replace any other Mortgage Loan, including all applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Purchase Agreement or the related Revolving Purchase Agreement, as applicable, as of the date of substitution. In the case of any substitution effected by the Depositor, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall have been acquired by the Depositor from the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and Depositor shall assign to the Trustee the representations and warranties made by the Seller with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan.
 

70


For any month in which the Depositor or the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Depositor or the Seller, as applicable, will determine the amount (the “Substitution Amount”), 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 Mortgage Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, upon discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Trustee shall require the Seller within 90 days of such discovery, at the Seller’s option, to either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03(d) with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or warranty made pursuant to this Section 2.03. 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 contained in this Section 2.03.
 
Section 2.04. Grant of Security Interest; Intended Characterization.
 
(a) It is intended that the conveyance by the Depositor to the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Fund, as provided for in Section 2.01, be construed as a sale by the Depositor to the Trustee of such assets for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Further, it is not intended that any such conveyance be deemed to be a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the Trust Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust, then it is intended that (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC (or the Relevant UCC if not the New York UCC); (b) the conveyances provided for in Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be (1) a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the Mortgage Loans, including with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related insurance policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage Files, (B) all amounts payable pursuant to the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof, (C) any Eligible Investments held in any Trust Account, (D) all Holdback Amounts, (E) any and all general intangibles consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Trust Accounts, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property and (F) the Supplemental Interest Trust and all proceeds of any and all property constituting the Supplemental Interest Trust and (2) an assignment by the Depositor to the Trustee of any security interest in any and all of the Depositor’s right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the property described in the foregoing clauses (1)(A), (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F) (such security interest being, to the extent of the assets that constitute the Supplemental Interest Trust, pari passu with the security interest as provided in clause (c) below; (c) the Swap Counterparty shall be deemed, during the term of the Swap Agreement and while the Swap Agreement is the property of the Trustee, to have a security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Supplemental Interest Trust, but only to the extent of such Swap Counterparty’s right to payment under the Swap Agreement (such security interest being pari passu with the security interest as provided in clause (b) above); (d) the possession by the Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, on behalf of Certificateholders, of Mortgage Notes or such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party,” or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York UCC and any other Relevant UCC (including, without limitation, Section 9-313, 8-313 or 8-321 thereof); and (e) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
 

71


(b) The Depositor and, at the Depositor’s direction, the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the Relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee’s security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Depositor, including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Seller, the Depositor or the Trustee, (2) any change of location of the place of business or the chief executive office of the Seller or the Depositor or (3) any transfer of any interest of the Seller or the Depositor in any Mortgage Loan.
 

72


The Depositor shall not organize under the law of any jurisdiction other than the State under which it is organized as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice of such action to its immediate and mediate transferee, including the Trustee. Before effecting such change, the Depositor shall prepare and file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its immediate and mediate transferees, including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents, the Depositor authorizes its immediate or mediate transferee, including the Trustee, to file in any filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings described in this Section 2.04(b).
 
(c) The Depositor shall not take any action inconsistent with the sale by the Depositor of all of its right, title and interest in and to the Trust Fund and shall indicate or shall cause to be indicated in its records and records held on its behalf that ownership of each Mortgage Loan and the other property of the Trust Fund is held by the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. In addition, the Depositor shall respond to any inquiries from third parties with respect to ownership of a Mortgage Loan or any other property of the Trust Fund by stating that it is not the owner of such Mortgage Loan and that ownership of such Mortgage Loan or other property of the Trust Fund is held by the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
 
Section 2.05. Transmission of Mortgage Files.
 
Written instructions as to the method of shipment and shipper(s) the Trustee is directed to utilize in connection with transmission of files and loan documents in the performance of the Trustee’s duties hereunder shall be delivered by the applicable Servicer (or if the related Mortgage Loan is being serviced directly by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer) to the Trustee prior to any shipment of any Mortgage Files and loan documents hereunder. In the event that the Servicer (or if the related Mortgage Loan is being serviced directly by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer) fails to provide such written instructions, the Trustee shall be hereby authorized to use a nationally recognized courier service. The Servicer (or if the related Mortgage Loan is being serviced directly by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer) will arrange for the provision of such services at its sole cost and expense (or, at the Trustee’s option, reimburse the Trustee for all costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee consistent with such instructions or for having used an overnight courier service) and will maintain such insurance in connection with shipment of the Mortgage Files against loss or damage to files and loan documents as the Servicer (or if the related Mortgage Loan is being serviced directly by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer) deems appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 8.04(a) hereof, it is expressly agreed that in no event shall the Trustee have any liability for any losses or damages to any Person with respect to the Mortgage Files arising out of actions of the Trustee consistent with instructions of the Servicer (or if the related Mortgage Loan is being serviced directly by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer).
 

73


Section 2.06. REMIC Matters.
 
(a) The Preliminary Statement to this Agreement sets forth the designations and “latest possible maturity date” for federal income tax purposes of all interests in each of the REMICs created hereby. The “tax matters person” with respect to each REMIC hereunder shall be the Trustee and the Trustee shall hold the Tax Matters Person Certificate. Each REMIC’s fiscal year shall be the calendar year.
 
(b) The Trustee shall treat each of the Reserve Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the Class X Certificateholders and that is not an asset of any REMIC. For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class X Certificateholders shall be deemed to be the owners of each of the Reserve Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust. Upon the termination of the Trust, all amounts remaining on deposit in each of the Reserve Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust will be released from the lien of the Trust Fund and distributed to the Class X Certificateholders or their designees.
 
(c) The Trustee shall treat all withdrawals from the Reserve Fund in respect of Loss Amounts and Deferred Principal Amounts as payments made pursuant to a “credit enhancement contract” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(c) that is owned by REMIC 1.
 
(d) The Trustee shall treat the holders of the Group 1 Certificates, Class A-IO Certificates and the LIBOR Certificates as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the holders of the Class X Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all holders of Group 1 Certificates, Class A-IO Certificates and the LIBOR Certificates will be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the holders of the Class X Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on the Interest in REMIC 4 corresponding to such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, an “AFC Shortfall”). Further, the Trustee shall treat the Class X Certificateholders as having agreed to pay the Holders of the Group 1 Certificates, Class A-IO Certificates and the LIBOR Certificates any interest payments in excess of the interest payable on the Interest in REMIC 4 corresponding to such Class of Certificates. Finally, the Trustee shall treat the Class X Certificateholders as having agreed to pay to the Class A-IO Certificateholders the excess, if any, of the amount distributable on the Class A-IO Certificates over the amount payable on the corresponding REMIC interest in REMIC 4. Any payments to the Certificates in light of the foregoing shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Group 1 Certificates, Class A-IO Certificates or the LIBOR Certificates of an AFC Shortfall shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the holders of such Certificates in respect of their Interests in REMIC 4 and as having been paid by such holders to the Reserve Fund pursuant to the notional principal contract.
 
(e) Thus, each Group 1 Certificate and each LIBOR Certificate shall be treated as representing not only ownership of a regular interest in REMIC 4, but also rights and obligations with respect to a notional principal contract. For tax purposes, this notional principal contract will be deemed to have a value of $95,662.24  in respect of Class 1-A1 Certificates, a value of $122,789.26 in respect of Class 1-A2 Certificates, a value of $45,385.85 in respect of Class 1-A3 Certificates, a value of $116,022.34 in respect of Class 1-A4 Certificates, a value of $102,354.88 in respect of Class 1-A5 Certificates, a value of $82,904.91 in respect of Class 2-A1 Certificates, a value of $109,700.33 in respect of Class 2-A2 Certificates, a value of $255,344.03 in respect of Class 2-A3 Certificates, a value of $278,376.00 in respect of Class 2-A4 Certificates, a value of $161,892.85 in respect of Class M-1 Certificates, a value of $45,527.94 in respect of Class M-2 Certificates, a value of $80,458.08 in respect of Class M-3 Certificates, a value of $36,132.31 in respect of Class M-4 Certificates, a value of $33,177.61 in respect of Class B-1 Certificates and a value of $28,744.80 in respect of Class B-2 Certificates.
 

74


(f) Notwithstanding the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article VI hereof or otherwise, the Trustee shall account for all distributions on the Certificates as set forth in this section. In no event shall any payments provided for in this section be treated as payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).
 
(g) Following the Closing Date, none of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Master Servicer shall accept any contributions of assets to any REMIC created hereunder unless the Depositor, the Trustee or the Master Servicer shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make such contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in a REMIC will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.
 
(h) None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Master Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which a REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit such REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
 
(i) None of the Depositor, Trustee or the Master Servicer shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the default, imminent default or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the termination of any REMIC created hereunder pursuant to Article X of this Agreement or (iii) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement) nor acquire any assets for a REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the Certificate Distribution Account for gain to the extent such action would result in a tax under Section 860F(a)(2) nor accept any contributions to a REMIC after the Closing Date (a) unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale, disposition, substitution or acquisition will not affect adversely the status of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC or (b) unless the Master Servicer has determined in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund against any resulting tax.
 
(j) The Trustee and each beneficial owner of a Class A-IO Certificate, by its acquisition thereof, agree to treat any Class A-IO Termination Amount paid to such beneficial owner as a payment made pursuant to a contract for the transfer of such Class A-IO Certificate in connection with the termination of the Trust Fund and to treat such payment as having been made by the purchaser of the assets of the Trust Fund. For federal income tax purposes, this contract will be deemed to have a value of $5,000. No Class A-IO Termination Amount will be treated as having been made by any REMIC created hereby, and no Class A-IO Termination Amount will be treated as an amount paid on a REMIC regular interest.

Section 4.01. Duties of the Master Servicer.
 
The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicers to service and administer their respective Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreements, except the activities of the Servicers with respect to Mortgage Loans that are in default, including collection activity, modification of Mortgage Loans, foreclosure, and disposition of REO Property, the processing of any FHA or VA claims and the activities of any subservicers (“Excluded Servicing Obligations”), and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with each Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall, from time to time, receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer and shall otherwise exercise its reasonable best efforts to cause each Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, prepare the report specified in Section 4.27 and any other information, statements and reports required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall have no duty or obligation to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of any Servicer or to enforce the obligations of any Servicer under its Servicing Agreement with respect to (i) calculation of payments due under any Simple Interest Mortgage Loans or any Non-Monthly Mortgage Loans, (ii) the collection of amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loans described on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as Schedule I-B hereto representing principal and/or interest due and owing on any such Mortgage Loan prior to the Cut-off Date or (iii) any Additional Collateral or any limited purpose surety bond relating thereto, including, without limitation, the collection of any amounts owing to the Trust Fund in respect thereof (unless and until the Master Servicer shall have assumed the obligations of such Servicer as successor servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, in which case, as successor servicer, it shall be bound to serve and administer the Additional Collateral and any related limited purpose surety bond in accordance with the provisions of such Servicing Agreement). The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers to the Collection Account pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreements.
 

80


To the extent applicable to the obligations of the Master Servicer under this agreement, the Master Servicer shall at all times comply with the Housing Act, FHA Regulations, the Readjustment Act, VA Regulations, and any administrative guidelines issued thereunder.
 
Section 4.02. Monitoring of Servicers’ Performance.
 
Subject to Section 4.01, the Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee and the Depositor the compliance by each Servicer with its duties under the related Servicing Agreement. In the review of each Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer with regard to such Servicer’s compliance with the terms of its Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its reasonable judgment, determines that it requires reports from any Servicer in addition to the reports such Servicer is required to deliver to the Master Servicer pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer is obligated to reimburse the Servicer for the cost of such additional reports, the Master Servicer shall be reimbursed for such amounts from the Collection Account. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer should be terminated in accordance with its Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee thereof and, absent instructions to the contrary from the Trustee within five days of the delivery of such notice, the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.
 
Subject to the provisions of Section 4.01 hereof, the Master Servicer shall require each Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the related Servicing Agreement.
 
Each Servicing Agreement shall include provisions to the effect that no modification, waiver or variance of the terms of a Mortgage Loan will (a) change the Mortgage Rate on any Mortgage Loan, (b) defer or forgive the payment of principal or interest of any Mortgage Loan, (c) reduce or increase the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (except for actual payments of principal) or (d) change the final maturity date of any Mortgage Loan, unless the Servicer has determined, after consultation with its counsel, that such a modification would not be treated as a “substantial modification” that would cause a deemed exchange under Section 1001(a) of the Code or applicable temporary or final regulations thereunder at any time when the Mortgage Loan is held by any REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement, unless such Mortgage Loan is in default or default is reasonably foreseeable.
 
Reconciliations for each Custodial Account shall be prepared by the applicable Servicer within the number of days following the bank statement cutoff date that is specified in the applicable Servicing Agreement or, if no such number of days is specified, then as provided in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB.
 

81


Section 4.03. Master Servicer Fidelity Bond and Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy.
 
The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or trustees.
 
Section 4.04. Master Servicer’s Financial Statements and Related Information.
 
For each year this Agreement is in effect, the Master Servicer shall submit to the Trustee each Rating Agency and the Depositor a copy of the Master Servicer’s annual unaudited financial statements on or prior to May 31 of each year, which may be in the form of the consolidated financial statements of the Master Servicer’s corporate parent. Such financial statements shall include a balance sheet, income statement and statement of retained earnings.
 
Section 4.05. Power to Act; Procedures.
 
(a) The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans as provided in this Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon request, with any powers of attorney empowering the Master Servicer or any Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney or other such documents by the Master Servicer or any Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, then upon request of the Trustee, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 9.08 of this Agreement. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.
 

82


(b) In master servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall employ procedures consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices.
 
Section 4.06. Servicing Agreements; Enforcement of Servicers’ Obligations.
 
The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, in each case subject to Section 4.02, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and either service the related Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms and provisions of the related Servicing Agreement or enter into a Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement from its own funds, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action or such amounts are permitted to be withdrawn from the Collection Account.
 
With respect to Excluded Servicing Obligations, the obligation of the Master Servicer to terminate the rights and obligations of the applicable Servicer is conditioned upon the Master Servicer having notice or actual knowledge of such Servicer’s failure to comply with the requirements of such sections.
 
In the event that the rights and obligations of the Servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan listed on Schedule I-G hereto are terminated as provided in this Section, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement, appoint M&T Bank as successor Servicer.
 
The parties acknowledge that there will be a transition period, not to exceed 90 days, in order to effect the transfer of servicing to a successor Servicer. To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any termination of a Servicer, appointment of a successor Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer are not fully and timely reimbursed by the Seller or the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Collection Account.
 
In the event that the Seller receives any amounts from a Servicer relating to a Mortgage Loan and such amounts constitute part of the Trust Fund, the Seller shall immediately notify the Master Servicer and transfer such amounts to the Collection Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
 

83


Section 4.07. Collection Account.
 
(a) On the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall open and shall thereafter maintain an account held in trust (the “Collection Account”), entitled “U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of Bayview Financial Mortgage Pass-Through Trust 2007-B Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-B.” The Collection Account shall relate solely to the Certificates issued by the Trustee hereunder, and funds in such Collection Account shall not be commingled with any other monies.
 
(b) The Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. If an existing Collection Account ceases to be an Eligible Account, the Master Servicer shall establish a new Collection Account that is an Eligible Account within 30 days and transfer all funds on deposit in such existing Collection Account into such new Collection Account.
 
(c) The Master Servicer will give to the Trustee prior written notice of the name and address of the depository institution at which the Collection Account is maintained and the account number of such Collection Account. The Master Servicer shall take such actions as are necessary to cause the depository institution holding the Collection Account to hold such account in the name of the Trustee (subject to such Master Servicer’s right to direct payments and investments and its rights of withdrawal) under this Agreement.
 
(d) The Master Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account, no later than the Business Day following the Closing Date, any amounts representing Monthly Payments on the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date and received by the Master Servicer on or before the Closing Date. Thereafter, promptly upon receipt, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account all amounts remitted to it by the Servicers in respect of the Mortgage Loans (which deposits may be net of the Master Servicing Fee). Funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Eligible Investments (selected by the Master Servicer) which shall mature not later than the Master Servicer Remittance Date (except that if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of the Trustee and such Collection Account is maintained with the Trustee, then such Eligible Investment shall mature not later than such applicable Distribution Date) and any such Eligible Investment shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) or its nominee. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time and shall not be part of the Trust Fund. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the Collection Account by the Master Servicer out of its own funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor, immediately as realized. The Trustee has no duty with respect to and shall not be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Collection Account resulting from any investment loss on any investment included therein (except to the extent that the Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted thereon). The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account are exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments of interest on funds in the Collection Account and payments in the nature of late payment charges, assumption fees and other incidental fees and charges relating to the Mortgage Loans need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and may be retained by the Master Servicer or, to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, the applicable Servicer as additional servicing compensation. If the Master Servicer deposits in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account.

(vi)  the current borrower shall deliver, at its sole cost and expense, an endorsement to the existing title policy insuring the security instrument, as modified by the assumption agreement, as a valid first lien on the Mortgaged Property and naming the proposed transferee as owner of the Mortgaged Property, which endorsement shall insure that, as of the date of the recording of the assumption agreement the Mortgaged Property shall not be subject to any additional exceptions or liens other than those contained in the title policy issued in conjunction with the related loan documents.
 
(b) To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers to enforce due-on-sale clauses with respect to the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent such clauses are enforceable. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.
 
(c) If any Mortgage Loan contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause, which by its terms: (i) provides that such Mortgage Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the creation of any lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or (ii) requires the consent of the related mortgagee to the creation of any such lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) cause the related Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, to exercise (or decline to exercise) any right it may have as the mortgagee of record with respect to such Mortgage Loan to (x) accelerate the payments thereon, or (y) withhold its consent to the creation of any such lien or other encumbrance, in accordance with the applicable Servicing Standard.
 
(d) The Master Servicer or the related Servicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to approve a request from a Mortgagor for a partial release of the related Mortgaged Property, the granting of an easement thereon in favor of another Person, any alteration or demolition of the related Mortgaged Property or other similar matters if it has determined, and certified to the Trustee, exercising its good faith business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full collectibility of, such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected thereby. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer for processing such a request will be retained by the Master Servicer or such Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
 
Section 4.15. Release of Mortgage Files.
 
(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by any Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the Servicer will, if required under the applicable Servicing Agreement, promptly notify the Trustee by a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (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 Collection Account maintained by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.07 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request the Trustee to deliver to the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the applicable Servicer and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, each Servicer is authorized to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that (unless otherwise expressly provided in the related Servicing Agreement) no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Collection Account or any Custodial Account.
 

90


(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by a Servicer or the Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Trustee shall, upon the request of a Servicer or the Master Servicer, and delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit E, release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Servicer or the Master Servicer. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer or the Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Master Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Request for Release shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Servicer or the Master Servicer.
 
Section 4.16. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer To Be Held for Trustee.
 
(a) The Master Servicer shall transmit and each Servicer (to the extent required by the related Servicing Agreement) shall transmit to the Trustee such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer or such Servicer from time to time as are required by the terms hereof, or in the case of the Servicers, the applicable Servicing Agreement, to be delivered to the Trustee. Any funds received by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or by a Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, subject to the Master Servicer’s right to retain or withdraw from the Collection Account the Master Servicing Fee and other amounts provided in this Agreement, and to the right of each Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and shall (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) cause each Servicer to, provide access to information and documentation in its possession regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee and the Depositor, their agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority. Such access shall be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information.
 

91


(b) All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trust Fund; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to deduct from any such funds any amounts that are permitted to be withdrawn by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.08 hereof or by such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement.
 
(c) The Master Servicer hereby acknowledges that concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Trustee shall have a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and in all Mortgage Files representing such Mortgage Loans and in all funds now or hereafter held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer that are collected by the Master Servicer in connection with the Mortgage Loans, whether as scheduled installments of principal and interest or as full or partial prepayments of principal or interest or as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds or otherwise, and in all proceeds of the foregoing and proceeds of proceeds (but excluding any fee or other amounts to which a Servicer is entitled under its Servicing Agreement, or the Master Servicer or the Depositor is entitled to hereunder); and the Master Servicer agrees that so long as the Mortgage Loans are assigned to and held by the Trustee, all documents or instruments constituting part of the Mortgage Files, and such funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which come into the possession or custody of, or which are subject to the control of, the Master Servicer shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee as the Trustee’s agent and bailee for purposes of perfecting the Trustee’s security interest therein as provided by relevant Uniform Commercial Code or other laws.
 
(d) The Master Servicer agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage Loans, or any funds that are deposited in any Custodial Account or the Collection Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, nor assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage Loan or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
 
Section 4.17. Removal of Master Servicer; Resignation of Master Servicer; Term of Servicing.
 
(a) If any of the following events (each, an “Event of Master Servicer Default”) shall occur and be continuing:
 

92


(i) Any failure by the Master Servicer (x) to deposit to the Collection Account all collections received by the Master Servicer from the Servicers within two Business Days following the Business Day on which such amounts are deposited by the Master Servicer to its general account (which shall be within one Business Day following receipt of such amount) and are determined by the Master Servicer to relate to the Mortgage Loans or (y) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account any amount required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 6.04(c) hereof by the related Master Servicer Remittance Date; or
 
(ii) Failure on the part of the Master Servicer to observe or perform any term, covenant or agreement in this Agreement (other than those covered by clause (i) above or clause (v) below) or a failure to comply with the provisions of Accepted Master Servicing Practices, which failure materially and adversely affects the rights of the Holders of the Certificates, and which continues unremedied for 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificateholders who, in the aggregate, hold Certificates evidencing Voting Rights of 10% or more; or
 
(iii) Any proceeding shall be instituted against the Master Servicer seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or any of its Debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property, or any of the actions sought in such proceeding (including, without limitation, the entry of an order for relief against, or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for, it or for any substantial part of its property) shall occur; or
 
(iv) The commencement by the Master Servicer of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Master Servicer in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Master Servicer or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its Debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Master Servicer in furtherance of any such action; or
 

93


(v) The Master Servicer shall fail to deliver a report expressly required by this Agreement, and the continuance of such failure for a period of three Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee (except that such three Business Day period shall be deemed not to run as to any portion of such report during such time as the Master Servicer’s failure to provide such information is for cause or inability beyond its control and the Master Servicer provides the Trustee and the Depositor with an Officer’s Certificate of the Master Servicer to such effect);
 
then the Trustee at the written direction of the Required Certificateholders shall, in each case by delivery to the Master Servicer of a written notice specifying the occurrence of any of the foregoing events terminate the responsibilities of the Master Servicer hereunder, without demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Master Servicer; provided that, in the event any of the events described in subsections (i)(y), (iii) or (iv) shall have occurred, termination of the duties and responsibilities of the Master Servicer and the Trustee’s assumption all of the Master Servicer’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder shall automatically occur, without demand, protest, or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Master Servicer; provided that in the case of a proceeding described in subsection (iii) brought by a third party and not consented to by the Master Servicer, an Event of Master Servicer Default shall not be deemed to have occurred until the earliest to occur of (A) the failure of the relevant court to grant the Master Servicer’s motion to dismiss such proceeding within 90 days of the filing of such motion, (B) the denial of the Master Servicer’s motion to dismiss such proceeding by the relevant court, (C) the failure of the Master Servicer to file such a motion within 30 days of the notice of the proceeding and (D) the subsequent withdrawal by the Master Servicer of its motion to dismiss such proceeding.
 
If an Event of Master Servicer Default occurs and is continuing and if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge or has received notice thereof, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice of thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Rating Agencies, the Swap Counterparty and each Certificateholder.
 
(b) The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, except with the consent of the Depositor and the Trustee or upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it, the other activities of the Master Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Master Servicer at the date of this Agreement. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such duties are not so permissible (the cost of which shall be borne by the Master Servicer) to such effect which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Rating Agencies and the Certificateholders.
 
(c) Except as may be required by law, no resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until a Successor Master Servicer shall have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder.
 
(d) If the Master Servicer is removed or resigns and the Trustee does not appoint a Successor Master Servicer in accordance with Section 4.13 hereof, then the Trustee shall become the Successor Master Servicer. The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement from the predecessor Master Servicer for the costs and expenses of the Trustee related to a termination of the Master Servicer, the appointment of a successor Master Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Trustee, as Successor Master Servicer, each due to an Event of Master Servicer Default. To the extent that such costs and expenses of the Trustee are not fully and timely reimbursed by the predecessor Master Servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Collection Account in accordance with Section 4.08(x).
 

94


(e) Any collections received by the Master Servicer after removal or resignation shall be endorsed by it and remitted directly and immediately to the Successor Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Master Servicing Fee through the day on which it is terminated as Master Servicer (which may be pro rated for a partial month).
 
To the extent that the Master Servicer, at the time of its removal or resignation, has theretofore expended any amounts as Advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan, which Advances remain Outstanding Advances as of such date, the Master Servicer shall thereafter be entitled to receive from the Successor Master Servicer, monthly, such information as may be generated by the Successor Master Servicer as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Master Servicer to monitor the recovery of, and collection efforts undertaken with respect to, such Outstanding Advances, which information will include details of collection activities, payment records and trial balances. To the extent that the Successor Master Servicer receives any amounts which relate to reimbursement for Outstanding Advances made by the prior Master Servicer, such amounts shall be remitted to the prior Master Servicer on the related Distribution Date. To the extent that the Master Servicer, based upon the information supplied by the Successor Master Servicer, believes that any discrepancies exist between actual Outstanding Advances received by the Successor Master Servicer and the amounts forwarded to the Master Servicer as recovered Outstanding Advances, the Master Servicer and the Successor Master Servicer shall attempt in good faith to reconcile such discrepancies.
 
(f) The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate reasonably with the Successor Master Servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s servicing responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide to the Successor Master Servicer all documents and records reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and shall promptly also transfer to the Successor Master Servicer all amounts which then have been or should have been deposited in the Collection Account, or which are thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Successor Master Servicer shall not be held liable for any acts or omissions of the prior Master Servicer or by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall reimburse the Successor Master Servicer for its reasonable costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the master servicing following resignation of the Master Servicer or termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.17.
 

95


Section 4.18. Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans.
 
The Master Servicer shall administer any Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans that are cross-collateralized with each other in accordance with this Agreement, as a single Mortgage Loan.
 
All amounts collected in respect of any related Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans shall be applied between or among such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the express provisions of the related loan documents or, in the absence of such express provisions, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective amounts then due as to each of such Mortgage Loans.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Master Servicer shall not waive any right that it has, or grant any consent it is otherwise entitled to withhold, under any related due-on-sale clause governing the transfer of any Mortgaged Property that secures Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans unless all of the Mortgaged Properties securing such Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans are transferred simultaneously to the same transferee.
 
Section 4.19. Standard Hazard and Flood Insurance Policies.
 
For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to maintain or cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of the related Servicing Agreement. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in the applicable Servicing Agreement and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on any REO Property, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.
 
Pursuant to Section 4.07, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer, or remitted to the Master Servicer by any Servicer, under any insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 4.19 (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement) shall be deposited into the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.08. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or any Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do so shall be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to Section 4.08.
 
Section 4.20. Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.
 
The Master Servicer shall (subject to Section 4.01 and to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) cause the related Servicer to prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the Insurance Policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim and compliance with any applicable requirements of FHA or VA) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed to a Servicer and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the Collection Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need not be so deposited (or remitted).
 

96


Section 4.21. Maintenance of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.
 
(a) Subject to Section 4.01, the Master Servicer shall not take, or knowingly permit any Servicer (to the extent such action is prohibited under the applicable Servicing Agreement) to take, any action that would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of such Master Servicer or Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall, subject to Section 4.01, use its reasonable best efforts to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not knowingly permit any Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
 
(b) The Master Servicer agrees, subject to Section 4.01, to present, or to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to present, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 4.07, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or remitted to the Master Servicer by any Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 4.08.
 
Section 4.22. Trustee To Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and Documents.
 
The Trustee shall retain possession and custody of the originals of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies or certificates of insurance, if applicable, and any certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to time as contemplated by this Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect of the Mortgage Notes have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer otherwise has fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement, the Trustee shall also retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee upon the execution or receipt thereof the originals of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies and any certificates of renewal thereof, and such other documents or instruments that constitute portions of the Mortgage File that come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time.
 

97


Section 4.23. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
 
The Master Servicer shall, subject to Section 4.01, cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to use its reasonable best efforts to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, all in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.
 
Section 4.24. Compensation to the Master Servicer.
 
The Master Servicer shall be entitled either (a) to pay itself the Master Servicing Fee in respect of remittances from the Servicers prior to the deposit of such payment in the Collection Account or (b) to withdraw from the Collection Account, subject to Section 4.08, the Master Servicing Fee. Servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, if any, late payment charges, as collected, if any, or otherwise (but not including any prepayment premium or penalty or yield maintenance payment) shall be retained by the Master Servicer (or the applicable Servicer) and shall not be deposited in the Collection Account. In addition, the Master Servicer will be entitled to retain any Net Prepayment Interest Excess. If the Master Servicer does not retain or withdraw the Master Servicing Fee from the Collection Account as provided herein, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to direct the Trustee to pay the Master Servicing Fee to the Master Servicer by withdrawal from the Certificate Distribution Account to the extent that payments have been received with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement. Pursuant to Section 4.07 all income and gain realized from any investment of funds in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as additional compensation.
 
The Master Servicing Fee for each Distribution Date shall be reduced as provided in Section 6.10.
 
Section 4.25. REO Property.
 
(a) In the event the Trustee acquires ownership of any REO Property in respect of any Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the related Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts, subject to Section 4.01 and to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to cause the applicable Servicer to sell any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall, subject to Section 4.01, cause the applicable Servicer to protect and conserve such REO Property in the manner and to the extent required by the applicable Servicing Agreement.
 
Each Servicing Agreement shall include provisions to the effect that (i) the Servicer shall sell each REO Property in any event within three years after title has been taken to such REO Property and (ii) the Servicer shall not Directly Operate any REO Property, but shall employ an Independent Contractor to operate REO Property.
 

98


(b) The Master Servicer shall, subject to Section 4.01 and to the extent required by the related Servicing Agreement, cause the Servicer to deposit all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in the Collection Account.
 
(c) The Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer, upon the final disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related Outstanding Advances and other unreimbursed advances from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with the final disposition of such REO Property; provided that any such Outstanding Advances may be reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, prior to final disposition, out of any net rental income or other net amounts derived from such REO Property.
 
(d) The Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO Property, net of any payment to the Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer as provided above shall be deposited in the Collection Account on or prior to the Determination Date in the month following receipt thereof from the applicable Servicer and be remitted by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Distribution Account on the next succeeding Master Servicer Remittance Date.
 
Section 4.26. Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances.
 
(a) Not later than 12:00 noon New York City time on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer, except as otherwise stated herein, shall advance funds (each such advance, a “Delinquency Advance”) to the Certificate Distribution Account in the amount of any Monthly Payment that is due during the related Due Period and not received by the Master Servicer from the related Servicer as of the related Determination Date; provided, however, that the Master Servicer will not be required to make any such Delinquency Advance (i) if the related Mortgage Loan is a Non-Servicer Obligated Mortgage Loan, (ii) with respect to any such amount representing a Civil Relief Act Reduction, or (iii) if the Master Servicer determines in reasonable good faith that such Delinquency Advance would be a Non-Recoverable Advance. Such determination by the Master Servicer will be evidenced by a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer delivered to the Trustee no later than such Master Servicer Remittance Date for the related Distribution Date. Each Delinquency Advance shall increase the Outstanding Advances with respect to the related Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall be permitted to fund Delinquency Advances from its own funds, and from amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account in excess of the Total Distribution Amount for the related Master Servicer Remittance Date.
 
(b) The Master Servicer may recover Delinquency Advances (i) from the Collection Account out of collections on the Mortgage Loan whose delinquency gave rise to such Delinquency Advance subsequent to the related Due Period, from Liquidation Proceeds and/or Insurance Proceeds recovered on account of such Mortgage Loan to the extent of the amount of such Delinquency Advance prior to, or after, the deposit of such Liquidation Proceeds and/or Insurance Proceeds in the Collection Account and (ii) from the Collection Account generally, if such Delinquency Advance has been determined to be a Non-Recoverable Advance.
 

99


(c) The Master Servicer, to the extent the Master Servicer becomes the successor to a Servicer pursuant to Section 4.10 and to the extent required by the related Servicing Agreement, will advance all “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses incurred in the performance of its servicing obligations with respect to defaulted Mortgage Loans, including, but not limited to, the cost of (i) Preservation Expenses, (ii) any enforcement or judicial proceedings, including foreclosures, and any reasonable legal expenses in connection with the assertion by a Mortgagor of any claim or defense that the Mortgagor may have had against the originator in connection with the sale, financing or construction of such Mortgagor’s home and which the Mortgagor asserts against the Master Servicer and (iii) the management and liquidation of REO Property, but shall only pay such costs and expenses to the extent the Master Servicer reasonably believes such costs and expenses will be recovered from the related Mortgage Loan and will increase Net Liquidation Proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan. Each such expenditure, if customary and reasonable, and exclusive of overhead, will constitute a “Servicing Advance.” The Master Servicer may recover a Servicing Advance from the Mortgagor to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan, from the Collection Account out of collections on the related Mortgage Loan, from Liquidation Proceeds realized upon the liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan, from Insurance Proceeds collected with respect to the related Mortgage Loan prior to, or after, the deposit of such Liquidation Proceeds and/or Insurance Proceeds in the Collection Account or, if such Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for such Servicing Advance, from the Collection Account.
 
Section 4.27. Master Servicer Reports.
 
To the extent the Master Servicer receives timely information from each Servicer not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time two Business Days prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, the Seller and the Depositor the related Master Servicer’s Monthly Report which shall contain (i) a summary report of Mortgage Loan payment activity for such month, (ii) delinquency summary reports for Mortgage Loans with respect to which scheduled payments due in such month were not made, (iii) an itemization by category of all amounts to be paid on the Distribution Date, (iv) the aggregate principal balance of all Foreclosure Restricted Loans that are subject to foreclosure proceedings in such month (to the extent such information is required to be reported and is reported by the Servicer to the Master Servicer) and (v) such other information as is necessary for the Trustee to report items in Sections 6.08(a) and (b); provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall provide the information detailed in clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) above with respect to the assets of the Trust Fund other than the Mortgage Loans only to the extent that it receives such information in a timely manner from the parties that are required to provide such information to the Master Servicer.

Section 4.31. Reports filed with the Commission.
 
(a) The Depositor shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed the initial current report on Form 8-K.

The Master Servicer shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Master Servicer’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
 
(b) Within 15 days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted extensions under the Exchange Act), the Master Servicer shall prepare, sign on behalf of the Depositor and file with the Commission any distribution report on Form 10-D required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act. The Master Servicer shall file each Form 10-D with a copy of the related monthly statement attached thereto. Any disclosure in addition to the monthly statement that is required to be included on Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall be determined and prepared by and at the direction of the Depositor pursuant to this Section 4.31(b) and the Master Servicer shall have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, except as set forth in this Section 4.31(b).

The Depositor shall be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Master Servicer in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this Section 4.31(b).
 

104


No later than the 15th calendar day after the related Distribution Date, a duly-authorized representative of the Master Servicer shall sign and file the Form 10-D. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Master Servicer shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 4.31(d). Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Master Servicer shall make available on its internet website (located at www.ctslink.com) a final executed copy of each Form 10-D filed by the Master Servicer. The signing party at the Master Servicer can be contacted by e-mail at cts.sec.notifications@wellsfargo.com or by facsimile at (410) 715-2380. Form 10-D requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days.” At the date of filing of each annual report on Form 10-D with respect to the Trust Fund, the Depositor shall be deemed to represent to the Master Servicer that as of such date the Depositor has filed all such required reports during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to such filing requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the Master Servicer in writing, no later than the fifth calendar day after the related Distribution Date with respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-D, if the answer to the questions referenced in the first sentence of this paragraph should be “no.” Absent such notification, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on the above representations in preparing, executing and/or filing any such report. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that the performance by the Master Servicer of its duties under this Section 4.31(b) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 4.31(b). The Master Servicer shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Master Servicer’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
 
(c) Within 90 days (including the 90th day) after the end of each fiscal year of the Trust Fund or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act (the “10-K Filing Deadline”) (it being understood that the fiscal year for the Trust Fund ends on December 31st of each year), commencing in March 2008, the Master Servicer shall prepare and file on behalf of the Depositor an annual report on Form 10-K, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act.

105


As set forth on Exhibit P-4 hereto, no later than March 15 of each year that the Trust Fund is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements, commencing in 2008, (i) the parties to the Bayview Financial Mortgage Pass-Through Trust 2007-B Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-B transaction shall be required to provide to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible officer thereof, in EDGAR-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Master Servicer and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification. The Depositor shall approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K in writing to the Master Servicer no later than the Business Day prior to the date specified below for the execution and filing of such Form 10-K. The Depositor shall be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Master Servicer in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to this Section 4.31(c).
 
No later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the fourth Business Day prior to the 10-K Filing Deadline provided in this Section 4.31(c), the Depositor shall sign the Form 10-K and the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification and return to the Master Servicer an executed, electronic copy of such Form 10-K and such Sarbanes-Oxley Certification (with original, executed copies to follow by overnight mail). After receipt from the Depositor of the executed, electronic copies but no later than the filing deadline provided in this Section 4.31(c), the Master Servicer shall file the Form 10-K. The Master Servicer shall forward an electronic copy of the SEC’s confirmation of filing of such Form 10-K to the Depositor. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Master Servicer shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 4.31(d). Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Master Servicer shall make available on its internet website (located at www.ctslink.com) a final executed copy of each Form 10-K filed by the Master Servicer. Form 10-K requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days.” At the date of filing of each annual report on From 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund, the Depositor shall be deemed to represent to the Master Servicer that as of such date the Depositor has filed all such required reports during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to such filing requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the Master Servicer in writing, no later than March 15th with respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-K, if the answer to the questions referenced in the first sentence of this paragraph should be “no.” Absent such notification, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on the above representations in preparing, executing and/or filing any such report. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Master Servicer of its duties under this Section 4.31(c) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties (and any Additional Servicer or Servicing Function Participant) strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 4.31(c), Section 4.28 and Section 4.29. The Master Servicer shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-K where such failure results from the Master Servicer’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
 

106


(d) If directed to do so by the Depositor, on or before January 30, 2008, the Master Servicer shall, in accordance with industry standards, file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust under the Exchange Act (a “Form 15”). The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that, in the event the Depositor shall, subsequent to the filing of a Form 15, offer any Retained Certificates in an offering registered with the Commission, the Trust shall become subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements at that time and, thereafter, prior to January 30 of the following calendar year, the Master Servicer shall, if directed to do so by the Depositor, in accordance with industry standards, file a Form 15.
 
In connection with any registered offering of any of the Retained Certificates: (i) the Depositor shall notify the Master Servicer in writing not less than 10 days prior to the date on which such offering will be made; (ii) the Depositor shall cause to be prepared and filed the initial current report on Form 8-K required to be filed in connection with such offering; (iii) the Master Servicer, as directed by the Depositor, shall file a report on Form 10-D for the Payment Date following the month in which such offering occurs and, thereafter, any reports on forms 8-K, 10-K and 10-D in respect of the Trust as and to the extent required under the Exchange Act, as set forth in this Section 4.31 (other than the report referred to in clause (ii) above); (iv) the Depositor shall be responsible for notifying the other parties to the transaction of such offering and that the obligations of such parties to provide information in connection with the Depositor’s Exchange Act reporting requirements have been reinstated; and (v) the Depositor shall be responsible for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in connection with such offering, including its review and approval of any offering document and any amendment to any Basic Document made in connection with such offering.
 

107


In the event that the Master Servicer becomes aware that it will be unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the parties to this Agreement will cooperate and cause such other Servicers or Servicing Function Participants, as applicable, to cooperate, to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-DA and 10-KA as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Master Servicer will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next Form 10-D. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and each applicable Servicer and prepare any necessary 8-KA, 10-DA or 10-KA. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K or 10-D shall be signed by a duly authorized representative of the Master Servicer and the Depositor shall sign any amendment to Form 10-K. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Master Servicer of its duties under this Section 4.31(d) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing, as applicable, of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent upon each such party performing its duties under this Section. The Master Servicer shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file, as applicable, any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K where such failure results from the Master Servicer’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from or on behalf of any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
 
(e) If so requested, the Master Servicer shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M) for the benefit of the Person(s) signing the Form 10-K Certification regarding certain aspects of such Form 10-K Certification (provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be required to undertake an analysis of the accountant’s report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K).
 
Section 4.32. Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Master Servicer.
 
Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall have the right without the prior written consent of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Rating Agencies to delegate or assign to or subcontract with or authorize or appoint an Affiliate of the Master Servicer to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by the Master Servicer hereunder. In no case, however, shall any such delegation, subcontracting or assignment to an Affiliate of the Master Servicer relieve the Master Servicer of any liability hereunder. Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a Successor Master Servicer, the entire amount of the Master Servicing Fee and other compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto after the date of such transfer, including amounts payable to or permitted to be retained or withdrawn by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.24 hereof, shall thereafter be payable to such Successor Master Servicer.
 

108


Section 4.33. Limitation on Liability of the Master Servicer and Others.
 
Neither the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the Depositor or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in its performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to master service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account as provided in Section 4.08.
 
The Master Servicer shall not be liable, and shall be indemnified from the Trust Fund, for any acts or omissions of any Servicer except to the extent the Trust Fund incurs damages or expenses as a result of such acts or omissions and such damages and expenses would not have been incurred but for the negligence, willful misfeasance, bad faith or recklessness of the Master Servicer in supervising, monitoring and overseeing the obligations of the Servicers in accordance with Section 4.01 hereof.
 
Section 4.34. Transfer of Servicing.
 
The Servicing Rights Owner shall provide written notice to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Swap Counterparty and the Master Servicer thirty days prior to any transfer or assignment by the Servicing Rights Owner of its rights under any Servicing Agreement or of the servicing thereunder or delegation of its rights or duties thereunder or any portion thereof to any other Person. In addition, the transfer or assignment of rights and delegation of duties under any Servicing Agreement or the transfer of the servicing thereunder to a successor servicer (whether by the Servicing Rights Owner or the Master Servicer) shall be subject to the following conditions:
 
(a) Such successor servicer must satisfy the seller/servicer eligibility standards in the applicable Servicing Agreement and any applicable Pool PMI Insurance Policy and must be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;

ARTICLE V
 
THE CERTIFICATES
 
Section 5.01. The Certificates.
 
The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in excess of the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates.
 
Subject to Section 10.02 respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by wire transfer in immediately available funds or by check, as provided in Section 6.06.
 
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the countersignature and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless countersigned by the Trustee by manual signature, and such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their countersignature. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall countersign the Certificates to be issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.
 
The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate transfers.
 

111


Section 5.02. Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
 
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06 hereof, a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b), (c) and (d) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided; provided, however, that the Residual Certificates shall be issued and maintained in fully registered form. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest. The Trustee initially shall be the “Certificate Registrar.”
 
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
 
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but 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 may be required.
 
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedures.
 
(b) No transfer of a Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received from the transferee a certification in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit K hereto, addressed to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any of their respective successors, to the effect that:
 
(i) Such Person is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act;
 
(ii) Such Person is duly authorized to purchase the Restricted Certificates and its purchase of investments having the characteristics of the Restricted Certificates is authorized under, and not directly or indirectly in contravention of, any law, charter, trust instrument or other operative document, investment guidelines or list of permissible or impermissible investments that is applicable to the investor; and
 
(iii) Such Person understands that each holder of a Certificate, by virtue of its acceptance thereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement.
 

112


In the event that a Certificate is transferred to a Person that does not meet the requirements of this Section 5.02, such transfer will be of no force and effect, will be void ab initio, and will not operate to transfer any rights to such Person, notwithstanding any instructions to the contrary to the Issuer, the Trustee or any intermediary; and the Trustee shall not make any distributions on such Certificate for as long as such Person is the Holder of such Certificate and the Trustee shall have the right to compel such Person to transfer such Certificate to a Person who does meet the requirements of this Section 5.02.
 
Each Holder of a Restricted Certificate (or Certificate Owner) desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with federal and state securities laws and any other restrictions specified in this Section 5.02. Each holder of a Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to have consented to such transfer restrictions.
 
The Trustee shall cause each Certificate to contain a legend substantially similar to the applicable legend provided in Exhibit A hereto stating that transfer of such Certificates is subject to certain restrictions as set forth herein.
 
(c) (1) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received either (A) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee (substantially in the form of Exhibit L, or in the event such ERISA-Restricted Certificate is a Residual Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit O), to the effect that (x) such transferee is neither a Plan nor a person acting for, on behalf of, or with the assets of, any such Plan to effect such transfer or (y) if the ERISA-Restricted Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, 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 the purchase and holding of ERISA-Restricted Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60; or (B) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Plan or a person acting for, on behalf of, or with the assets of, a Plan, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of any of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, any Servicer, the Seller or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase and holding of such ERISA-Restricted 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 Depositor, the Master Servicer, any Servicer or the Seller to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement. For purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Residual Certificate, in the event the representation letter referred to in the preceding sentence is not so furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee’s (including an initial acquirer’s) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel or representation letter satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect.
 

113


To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(c) 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 Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
 
(ii) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate prior to the termination of the Swap Agreement or while any amounts received from the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement remain on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received a representation letter from the transferee of such Certificate, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit L, to the effect that either (x) 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 (y) 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, PTCE 96-23 or the non-fiduciary service provider exemption under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate prior to the termination of the Swap Agreement, or while any amounts received from the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement remain on deposit in the Reserve Fund, to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Trustee 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 (x) or (y) 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, the Trustee and the Master Servicer 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 Trustee 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 5.02(c)(ii) 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 Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
 
(d) 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 the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
 

114


(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
 
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit of the transferor in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N (a “Transferor Affidavit”) and of the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O (a “Transferee Affidavit”), representing and warranting, among other things, that such transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee acting on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-permitted Foreign Holder (any such transferee, a “Permitted Transferee”); provided that no such affidavit shall be required to register on the Closing Date an Ownership Interest of the Seller (or an Affiliate thereof) or the Trustee in a Residual Certificate.
 
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transferee Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transferee Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
 
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(c) and this Section 5.02(d) 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 after receipt of the related Transferor Affidavit, Transferee Affidavit and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.
 

115


(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.
 
The restrictions on transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section 5.02(d) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to transfers occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Seller or the Master Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event, or the imposition of any tax on a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
 
(e) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of the parties to such transfers.
 
(f) Except as provided 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 the Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee 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 Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry 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 Trustee shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee 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.
 
(g) 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 Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures.
 

116


If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (y) after the occurrence of an Event of Master Servicer Default, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Trustee and the Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully registered Certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Master Servicer, the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.
 
Section 5.03. [Reserved]
 
Section 5.04. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
 
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.04, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
 
Section 5.05. Persons Deemed Owners.
 
The Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Master Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
 

117


Section 5.06. Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses.
 
If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication which such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the Depositor or Master Servicer shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the Depositor, the Master Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients’ expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
 
Section 5.07. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
 
The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an office or offices or agency or agencies in New York City where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee initially designates its Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such office or agency.

Section 6.11. Certain Provisions With Respect to the Cap Agreement.
 
(a) If the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall not have received a payment with respect to the Cap Agreement by the date on which such payment was due and payable pursuant to the terms thereof, the Trustee shall make demand upon the Cap Provider, as applicable, for immediate payment, and may, and at the direction of a majority (by Voting Rights) of the Certificateholders shall, take any available legal action, including the prosecution of any claims in connection therewith. The Depositor shall cooperate with the Trustee in connection with any such demand or action to the extent reasonably requested by the Trustee. The reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the prosecution of any such legal action shall be reimbursable to the Trustee from the Trust Fund.
 
(b) Funds or collateral required to be held pursuant to the Cap Credit Support Annex shall be deposited into the Cap Collateral Account. Funds posted by the Cap Provider (or its credit support provider) in the Cap Collateral Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments at the written direction of the Cap Provider. Any interest earnings on such amounts shall be remitted to the Cap Provider pursuant to the terms of the Cap Credit Support Annex. For federal income tax purposes, the Cap Provider shall be considered owner of funds deposited in the Cap Collateral Account. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses incurred on such investments. In the absence of written instructions from the Cap Provider (or its credit support provider) as to investment of funds on deposit in the Cap Collateral Account, such funds shall remain uninvested. On any Distribution Date as to which a shortfall exists with respect to Interest Rate Cap Amounts owed by the Cap Counterparty as a result of its failure to make payments pursuant to the Cap Agreement, amounts necessary to cover such shortfall shall be removed from the Collateral Account, remitted to the Interest Rate Cap Account and distributed as all or a portion of such Interest Rate Cap Amount pursuant to Section 6.05(e). Any amounts on deposit in the Cap Collateral Account required to be returned to the Cap Counterparty (or its credit support provider) as a result of (i) the termination of the Cap Agreement, (ii) the procurement of a guarantor or (iii) the reinstatement of required ratings shall be released directly to the Cap Provider, pursuant to the terms of the Cap Credit Support Annex.
 
(c) Upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Cap Collateral Account shall be distributed as required pursuant to the terms of the Cap Credit Support Annex.
 
(d) In the event that the Cap Provider fails to perform any of its obligations under the Cap Agreement (including, without limitation, its obligations to make any payment or transfer collateral), or breaches any of its representations and warranties under the Cap Agreement, or in the event that an Event of Default, Termination Event, or Additional Termination Event occurs (as such terms are defined in the Cap Agreement), the Trustee, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, shall (upon a Responsible Officer of the Trustee’s receiving written notice or having actual knowledge of the occurrence thereof), as soon as practicable following such failure, breach or occurrence, notify the Cap Provider and give any notice of such failure and make any demand for payment pursuant to the Cap Agreement. In the event that the Cap Provider’s obligations under the Cap Agreement are at any time guaranteed by a third party, then to the extent that the Cap Provider fails to make any payment or delivery required under terms of the Cap Agreement, the Trustee, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, shall (upon a Responsible Officer of the Trustee’s receiving written notice or having actual knowledge of the occurrence thereof), as soon as practicable following such failure, demand that such guarantor make any and all payments then required to be made by the applicable guarantor.
 

139


Section 6.12. The Reserve Fund.
 
(a) On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain, in its name, in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Group 1 Certificates and the LIBOR Certificates, the Reserve Fund into which the Sponsor shall deposit $1,000. In addition, the Trustee shall hold the Cap Agreement as an asset in the Reserve Fund. The Reserve Fund 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. The Reserve Fund shall be an asset of the Supplemental Interest Trust created pursuant to Section 6.15 of this Agreement.
 
(b) On each Distribution Date on which there is a payment received by the Trustee under the Cap Agreement that is based on a notional amount in excess of the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the Group 1 Certificates and the LIBOR Certificates (such amount, the “Class X Excess Cap Amount”), the Trustee shall not treat such payments as amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund for purposes of determining the Reserve Fund Requirement for any Distribution Date. Any such Class X Excess Cap Amount shall not be an asset of the Trust Fund and, instead, shall be paid into and distributed out of a separate trust created by this Agreement for the benefit of the Class X Certificateholders, and the Trustee shall distribute such amount to the Class X Certificateholders pursuant to Section 6.05(f)(x).
 
On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall deposit into and make withdrawals from the Reserve Fund to make distributions in the order of priority and to the extent specified in Section 6.05(e) and (g) of this Agreement of the sum of (without duplication) (i) any payments made by the Cap Provider to the Trust Fund for such Distribution Date with respect to the Cap Agreement, (ii) any amounts then on deposit in the Reserve Fund, including any earnings thereon, in respect of the Cap Agreement, (iii) any amounts in respect of Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls, (iv) any amounts in respect of Loss Amounts, (v) any amounts in respect of Deferred Principal Amounts and (vi) any amounts then on deposit in the Reserve Fund, including any earnings thereon, in respect of payments received from the Swap Account pursuant to Section 6.05(f) (provided that any distributions made from the Reserve Fund pursuant to Sections 6.05(e) and (g) shall be deemed to be made first from any amounts received under the Swap Agreement and deposited into the Reserve Fund from the Swap Account pursuant to Section 6.05(f) and second from any remaining amounts then on deposit in the Reserve Fund). On each Distribution Date, any amounts that the Trustee is not required to distribute from the Reserve Fund pursuant to Section 6.05(e) and (g) shall remain on deposit in the Reserve Fund and shall be invested as provided in this Agreement. All such deposits into and withdrawals from the Reserve Fund shall be based upon information received from the Master Servicer.

(b) At any time when the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, is permitted to terminate a Cap Agreement pursuant to the terms of such Cap Agreement (whether due to the occurrence of an event of default, a termination event or otherwise), the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall terminate such Cap Agreement (i) subject to satisfaction of the Ratings Requirement or (ii) at the written direction of the Rating Agencies; provided that prior to or simultaneously with any termination of the Cap Agreement by the Trustee as a result of any downgrade of the ratings of the Cap Provider or the Credit Support Provider, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall have entered into a substitute Cap Agreement in accordance with written notice from the Depositor provided pursuant to Section 6.13(c).
 
(c) In the event of an early termination of a Cap Agreement, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall enter into a substitute Cap Agreement (i) within 20 days after the termination of such existing Cap Agreement or (ii) prior to or simultaneously with the termination of the existing Cap Agreement as described in the proviso to Section 6.13(b), with a substitute counterparty meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 6.13(a) hereof. The Depositor, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall send written notice to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies as promptly as practicable prior to termination of the existing Cap Agreement, identifying a proposed counterparty with respect to the substitute Cap Agreement. Any proposed substitute counterparty shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Rating Agencies.
 
(d) Any up-front fee payable to a replacement Cap Provider or other cost or expense associated with the Trustee entering into a new Cap Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.13 shall be payable by or on behalf of the Trust Fund from any payment received under the terminated Cap Agreement; provided, however, if such amount received is not sufficient to pay such up-front fee, the difference shall be paid pursuant to Section 6.05(e)(viii).
 
(e) Promptly upon termination of a Cap Agreement, the Trustee shall mail notice thereof by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Rating Agency and the Certificateholders at their last addresses appearing upon the Certificate Register.
 
Section 6.14. Supplemental Interest Trust.
 
(a) A separate trust is hereby established (the “Supplemental Interest Trust”), the corpus of which shall be held by the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Trustee, as trustee of the Supplemental Interest Trust, shall establish an account (the “Swap Account”), into which the Sponsor shall initially deposit $1,000. The Swap 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 monies, including, without limitation, other monies of the Trustee held pursuant to this Agreement.
 

141


(b) The Reserve Fund established under Section 6.12 and its assets (including, without limitation, the Cap Agreement) shall be an asset of the Supplemental Interest Trust.
 
(c) In addition, on the Closing Date, the Trustee, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, shall establish an account (the “Swap Collateral Account”) into which funds shall be deposited pursuant to Section 6.14(f). The Swap Collateral 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 monies, including, without limitation, other monies of the Trustee held pursuant to this Agreement.
 
(d) The Trustee shall deposit into the Swap Account any Net Swap Payment required pursuant to Sections 6.05(b), (c) and (e), any Swap Termination Payment required pursuant to Sections 6.05(b), (c), (e) and (i) and any amounts received from the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement, and shall distribute from the Swap Account any Net Swap Payment required pursuant to Section 6.05(f)(i) or Swap Termination Payment required pursuant to Sections 6.05(f)(ii) or (ix), as applicable. 
 
(e) Funds in the Swap Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments. Any earnings on such amounts shall be distributed on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 6.05(f). The Class X Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Swap Account for federal income tax purposes and the Holder thereof shall direct the Trustee, in writing, as to investment of amounts on deposit therein. The Sponsor shall be liable for any losses incurred on such investments. In the absence of written instructions from the Class X Certificateholders as to investment of funds on deposit in the Swap Account, such funds shall be invested in the Class A First American Government Obligations Fund or comparable investment vehicle. Any amounts on deposit in the Swap Account in excess of the Swap Amount on any Distribution Date shall be held for distribution pursuant to Section 6.05(f), on the following Distribution Date.
 
(f) Funds or collateral required to be held pursuant to the Swap Credit Support Annex shall be deposited into the Swap Collateral Account. Funds posted by the Swap Counterparty (or its credit support provider) in the Swap Collateral Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments at the written direction of the Swap Counterparty. Any interest earnings on such amounts shall be remitted to the Swap Counterparty pursuant to the terms of the Swap Credit Support Annex. For federal income tax purposes, the Swap Counterparty shall be considered owner of funds deposited in the Swap Collateral Account. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses incurred on such investments. In the absence of written instructions from the Swap Counterparty (or its credit support provider) as to investment of funds on deposit in the Swap Collateral Account, such funds shall remain uninvested. On the first Distribution Date immediately following any Swap Payment Date as to which a shortfall exists with respect to a Net Swap Payment or a Swap Termination Payment owed by the Swap Counterparty as a result of its failure to make payments pursuant to the Swap Agreement, amounts necessary to cover such shortfall shall be removed from the Swap Collateral Account, remitted to the Swap Account and distributed as all or a portion of such Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment pursuant to Section 6.05(f). Any amounts on deposit in the Swap Collateral Account required to be returned to the Swap Counterparty (or its credit support provider) as a result of (i) the termination of the Swap Agreement, (ii) the procurement of a guarantor, (iii) the reinstatement of required ratings or (iv) otherwise pursuant to the Swap Agreement, shall be released directly to the Swap Counterparty, pursuant to the terms of the Swap Credit Support Annex.

(h) Upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Swap Collateral Account shall be distributed as required pursuant to the terms of the Swap Credit Support Annex.
 
(i) It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be disregarded as an entity separate from the Holder of the Class X Certificates unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Holder of the Class X Certificates or (b) any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class X Certificates is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Supplemental Interest Trust for federal income tax purposes. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be responsible for any entity level tax reporting for the Supplemental Interest Trust.
 
(j) To the extent that the Supplemental Interest Trust is determined to be a separate legal entity from the Trustee, any obligation of the Trustee under the Swap Agreement shall be deemed to be an obligation of the Supplemental Interest Trust.
 
(k) In the event that the Swap Counterparty fails to perform any of its obligations under the Swap Agreement (including, without limitation, its obligations to make any payment or transfer collateral), or breaches any of its representations and warranties under the Swap Agreement, or in the event that an Event of Default, Termination Event, or Additional Termination Event occurs (as such terms are defined in the Swap Agreement), the Trustee, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, shall (upon a Responsible Officer of the Trustee’s receiving written notice or having actual knowledge of the occurrence thereof), as soon as practicable following such failure, breach or occurrence, notify the Swap Counterparty and give any notice of such failure and make any demand for payment pursuant to the Swap Agreement. In the event that the Swap Counterparty’s obligations under the Swap Agreement are at any time guaranteed by a third party, then to the extent that the Swap Counterparty fails to make any payment or delivery required under terms of the Swap Agreement, the Trustee, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, shall (upon a Responsible Officer of the Trustee’s receiving written notice or having actual knowledge of the occurrence thereof), as soon as practicable following such failure, demand that such guarantor make any and all payments then required to be made by the applicable guarantor.

The Swap Counterparty shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a party hereto and shall have the right, upon designation of an “Early Termination Date” (as defined in the Swap Agreement), to enforce its rights under this Agreement, which rights include but are not limited to the obligation of the Trustee (A) to deposit any Net Swap Payment required pursuant to Sections 6.05(b), (c) and (e), and any Swap Termination Payment required pursuant to Sections 6.05(b), (c), (e) and (i), into the Swap Account, (B) to pay any Net Swap Payment required pursuant to Section 6.05(f), or Swap Termination Payment required pursuant to Sections 6.05(f) to the Swap Counterparty and (C) to establish and maintain the Swap Account, to make such deposits thereto, investments therein and distributions therefrom as are required pursuant to Section 6.14.

Section 6.16. Swap Termination Receipts.
 
In the event of an “Early Termination Event” as defined under the Swap Agreement, (i) any Swap Termination Payment made by the Swap Counterparty to the Swap Account and paid pursuant to Section 6.05(f)(vii) (“Swap Termination Receipts”) will be deposited in a segregated non-interest bearing account which shall be an Eligible Account established by the Trustee in the name of the Trustee bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the “Swap Termination Receipts Account”) and (ii) any amounts received from a replacement Swap Counterparty (“Swap Replacement Receipts”) will be deposited in a segregated non-interest bearing account which shall be an Eligible Account established by the Trustee in the name of the Trustee bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the “Swap Replacement Receipts Account”). The Trustee shall invest, or cause to be invested, funds held in the Swap Termination Receipts Account and the Swap Replacement Receipts Account in time deposits of the Trustee as permitted by clause (ii) of the definition of Eligible Investments as directed in writing by the Required Certificateholders. In the absence of such written direction, such funds shall remain uninvested. All such investments must be payable on demand or mature on a Swap Payment Date, a Distribution Date or such other date as directed by the Required Certificateholders. All such Eligible Investments will be made in the name of the Trustee of the Supplemental Interest Trust (in its capacity as such) or its nominee. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall be deposited in the Swap Termination Receipts Account or the Swap Replacement Receipts Account, as applicable, and all losses, if any, shall be borne by the related account.
 
Unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies as evidenced in a written confirmation, the Depositor shall arrange for replacement Swap Agreement(s) or procure a replacement guarantor, if applicable, and the Trustee shall promptly, upon written direction of, and with the assistance and cooperation of the Depositor, use amounts on deposit in the Swap Termination Receipts Account, if necessary, to enter into replacement Swap Agreement(s) or to execute any other agreements with respect to such replacement guarantor, if applicable, which shall be executed and delivered by the Trustee on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust upon receipt of written confirmation from each Rating Agency (if required pursuant to the terms of the Swap Agreement) that such replacement Swap Agreement(s) 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.
 

144


Amounts on deposit in the Swap Replacement Receipts Account shall be held for the benefit of the related Swap Counterparty and paid to such Swap Counterparty if the Supplemental Interest Trust is required to make a payment to such Swap Counterparty following an event of default or termination event with respect to the Supplemental Interest Trust under the related Swap Agreement. Any amounts not so applied shall, following the termination or expiration of such replacement swap agreement, be paid to the Class X Certificates.

If the Trustee or any Certificateholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Certificateholder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Seller, the Trustee and the Certificateholders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Certificateholders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
 
Section 7.03. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
 
No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Certificateholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
 
Section 7.04. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
 
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Certificateholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Master Servicer Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Master Servicer Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Certificateholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, as permitted under the terms hereof, by the Trustee or by the Certificateholders, as the case may be.
 
Section 7.05. Control by Certificateholders.
 
(a) Subject to Section 7.06 hereof, the Required Certificateholders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee hereunder; provided that (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Agreement, (ii) such direction shall not involve any action for which the Trustee reasonably believes it may not obtain compensation or reimbursement for hereunder or, if the Trustee determines that such compensation or reimbursement is not available, such Certificateholders have not offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity for the cost of such actions, and (iii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.
 
(b) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Master Servicer Default hereunder and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Master Servicer 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 document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Required Certificateholders; 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 Certificate afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to taking any such action. The reasonable expense of every such examination relating to an Event of Master Servicer Default shall be paid by the Master Servicer if an Event of Master Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and otherwise by the Certificateholders requesting the investigation.
 

146


Section 7.06. Waiver of Past Defaults.
 
The Required Certificateholders may on behalf of the Certificateholders of all the Certificates waive any past default hereunder and its consequences.
 
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Master Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.
 
Section 7.07. Undertaking for Costs.
 
All parties to this Agreement agree, and each Certificateholder by the acceptance of a Certificate shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 7.07 (other than this clause) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Depositor, by the Trustee, by the Master Servicer, by any Certificateholder or group of Certificateholders holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Voting Rights of the outstanding Certificates, or to any suit instituted by any Certificateholder for the enforcement of the payment of any principal of or interest on any Certificate.
 
Section 7.08. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
 
The Depositor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement; and the Depositor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Master Servicer.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
 
Section 9.01. Duties of Trustee.
 
(a) If an Event of Master Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
 
(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Master Servicer Default:
 
(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee; and
 
(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the statements or opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and on their face conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; however, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement.

(g) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend, advance or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it provided, however, that the Trustee shall not refuse or fail to perform any of its duties hereunder solely as a result of nonpayment of its normal fees and expenses.
 
(h) Every provision of this Agreement or any Basic Document relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and Section 9.02.

The right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement or in any Basic Document 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.

All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller hereby certifies, represents and warrants to, and covenants with the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee that:
 
1. No purpose of the Seller relating to the sale of the Certificate by the Seller to the Purchaser is or will be to enable the Seller to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
 
2. The Seller understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor a transferee affidavit and agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit O. The Seller does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.
 
3. The Seller has no actual knowledge that the Purchaser is not a Permitted Transferee.
 
4. The Seller has no actual knowledge that the Purchaser would be unwilling or unable to pay taxes due on its share of the taxable income attributable to the Certificates.
 
5. At the time of this transfer (I) the Seller has conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser and, as a result of the investigation, found that the Purchaser has historically paid its debts as they came due, and found no significant evidence to indicate that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as they come due in the future, (II) the Purchaser represents that it will not cause income from the Certificates to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of the Purchaser or another U.S. Person and (III) either (A) the Seller both (1) has determined all of the following: (i) at the time of the transfer, and at the close of each of the Purchaser’s two fiscal years preceding the year of transfer, the Purchaser’s gross assets for financial reporting purposes exceed $100 million and its net assets for such purposes exceed $10 million (disregarding, for purposes of determining gross or net assets, the obligation of any person related to the Purchaser within the meaning of section 860L(g) of the Code or any other asset if a principal purpose for holding or acquiring that asset is to permit the Purchaser to satisfy this minimum gross asset or net asset requirement), (ii) the Purchaser is a domestic C corporation for United States federal income tax purposes that is not for such purposes an exempt corporation, a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust, a REMIC, or a cooperative organization to which part I of subchapter T of the Code applies, (iii) there are no facts or circumstances on or before the date of transfer (or anticipated) which would reasonably indicate that the taxes associated with the Certificates will not be paid, (iv) the Purchaser is not a foreign branch of a domestic corporation, and (v) the transfer does not involve a transfer or assignment to a foreign branch of a domestic corporation (or any other arrangement by which any Certificate is at any time subject to net tax by a foreign country or U.S. possession) and the Purchaser will not hereafter engage in any such transfer or assignment (or any such arrangement), and (2) does not know or have reason to know that the Purchaser will not honor the restrictions on subsequent transfers of any Certificate described in paragraph 12 of the Transferee’s Transfer Affidavit, or (B) the Seller has determined that the present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with the holding of the Certificates does not exceed the sum of (1) the present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire the Certificates, (2) the present value of the expected future distributions on the Certificates, and (3) the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding the Certificates as the REMIC generates losses (having made such determination by (I) assuming that the Purchaser pays tax at a rate equal to the highest rate of tax specified in Section 11(b)(1) of the Code (provided that, if the Purchaser has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate, then the Purchaser may use the tax rate specified in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code), and (II) utilizing a discount rate for present valuation purposes equal to the Federal short-term rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code.
 

N-1


6. The Purchaser has represented to the Seller that, if the Certificate constitutes a noneconomic residual interest, it (i) understands that as holder of a noneconomic residual interest it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the interest, and (ii) intends to pay taxes associated with its holding of the Certificates as they become due.
 
The Seller understands that the transfer of the Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Seller may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless there is compliance with the standards of paragraph 5 above as to any transfer.
 

N-2


We agree to indemnify the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee against any liability that may result if we sell or transfer a Certificate to a purchaser or transferee who does not comply with any conditions for transfer set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
