POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of [ ] (this “Agreement” or “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Bayview Financial Securities Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as depositor (“BFSC” or the “Depositor”), [ ], a [ ], its successors and permitted assigns, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”) and [ ], a [ ], its successors and permitted assigns, not in its individual capacity, but solely as trustee (the “Trustee”).

WHEREAS, the Master Servicer is willing to act as the Master Servicer hereunder to supervise the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, as provided herein, on behalf of the Trustee.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
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 Pre-Funding Account], (vii) [the Capitalized Interest Account] and (viii) any Additional Collateral (collectively, the “Excluded Trust Assets ] (collectively, the “Excluded Trust Assets”)) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising [three] real estate mortgage investment conduits under Section 860D of the Code (each a “REMIC” or, in the alternative [“REMIC [1],” “REMIC [2]” and “REMIC [3]”; REMIC [3] 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 [R] Certificate, represents ownership of a regular interest in the [Upper Tier] REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. In addition, each Certificate, other than the Class [R], Class [ ], 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] Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of residual interest in each of [REMIC [1], REMIC [2] and the [Upper Tier] REMIC] for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
The [Upper Tier] REMIC 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] and REMIC [2] 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”):
Class Designation | Initial Principal Balance | Interest Rate |
[ ] | $[ ] | (1) |
[ ] | $[ ] | (1) |
[ ]-Pool | (3) | (2) |
[ R-1 ] | (4) | (4) |
(1)
This Interest shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the weighted average Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage Loans, weighted on the principal balances of the Mortgage Loans; provided that if the amount of expenses described in clause (ii)(b) of footnote (2) below is greater than the amount of interest otherwise payable on the [ ]-Pool interest, such expenses shall be allocated to, and reduce the per annum rate of, the regular interest in REMIC [1] then outstanding with the lowest numerical designation to the extent of interest otherwise payable on such interest.
(2)
This Interest shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the weighted average Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage Loans, weighted on the principal balances of such Mortgage Loans, less (ii) the product of (a) [ ], (b) the amount paid from the Trust Fund during the related Accrual Period pursuant to Section 4.08 hereof to the extent such amounts were paid for ordinary or routine expenses and were not taken into account in computing the Net Mortgage Rate of any Mortgage Loan and (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is 1 and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal balance, as of the beginning of the related Accrual Period, of the [ ]-Pool Interest.
(3)
This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the aggregate principal balance of all the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date minus the aggregate initial principal balance of each other regular interest in REMIC [1].
(4)
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].
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.
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.
On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses and all payments of principal shall be allocated to the [ ]-Pool Interest until such interest is reduced to zero. After the [ ]-Pool Interest is reduced to zero, all Realized Losses and payments of principal shall be allocated to the outstanding [ ] Interest with the lowest numerical denomination until such interest is reduced to zero.
On each Distribution Date, all prepayment premiums or penalties or yield maintenance payments received during the related Prepayment Period with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the [ ] 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”):
Class Designation | Initial Principal Balance | Interest Rate | Corresponding Class of Certificates |
[ ] | $[ ] | (1) | [ ] |
[ ] | (2) | (1) | [X] |
[ ] | (3) | (3) | [ ] |
[ R-2 ] | (4) | (4) | [R] |
(1)
This interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) for each of these REMIC [2] Regular Interests is a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) [ ]% and (ii) the weighted average of the interest rates on the each REMIC [1] Interest having an “[ ]” in its designation and [ ]-Pool Interest, computed after reducing the rate payable on each such REMIC [1] Interest having an “[ ]” in its Class designation by the applicable “Interest Rate” set forth on Exhibit F hereto for such Distribution Date up to and including the Distribution Date in [ ], and by [ ]% for each Distribution Date thereafter, for which interest is payable on its Corresponding REMIC [2] [ ] Interest (as described in footnote (3) below).
(2)
This interest shall have an initial principal balance equal to the aggregate principal balance of all the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date minus the aggregate initial principal balance of each other regular interest in REMIC [2].
(3)
Each of these REMIC [2] Interests is an interest-only Interest and does not have a principal balance. For each Distribution Date on the chart below, the REMIC [2] Interest corresponding to such Distribution Date shall be entitled to interest payable on the REMIC [1] Interest corresponding to such Distribution Date at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) the applicable “Interest Rate” for such date set forth on Exhibit F hereto and (ii) the interest rate of the REMIC [1] Interest corresponding to such distribution date. Each such REMIC [2] Interest shall be entitled to payments only for the Distribution Date to which it corresponds on the chart below.
Distribution Date occurring in | Corresponding REMIC 2 Interest | Corresponding REMIC 1 Interest |
[ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
[ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
[ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
[ ] | [ ] | [ ] |
(4)
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] Regular Interests shall be distributed with respect to each of the Interests in REMIC [2] based on the above-described interest rates, provided however, that interest that accrues on the [ ] Interest shall be deferred to the extent necessary to make the principal distributions described in priorities (i) through ([ ]) below for such Distribution Date. Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest at the interest rate for the [ ] Interest.
On each Distribution Date, the principal distributed on the REMIC [1] Regular Interests (together with an amount equal to the interest deferred on the Class [ ] Interest for such Distribution Date) shall be distributed, and Realized Losses shall be allocated, among the Interests in REMIC [1] in the following order of priority:
(i)
first, to the [ ] Interest until its principal balance equals one-half of the Class Principal Balance of the Class [ ] Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date;
(ii)
second, to the [ ] Interest until its principal balance equals one-half of the Class Principal Balance of the Class [ ] Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date;
(iii)
third, to the [ ] Interest until its principal balance equals one-half of the Class Principal Balance of the Class [ ] Certificates immediately after such Distribution Date;
(iv)
finally, to the Class [ ] Interest, any remaining amounts.
On each Distribution Date, all prepayment premiums or penalties or yield maintenance payments received during the related Prepayment Period with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the [ ] Interest.
REMIC [3]:
The following table sets forth the designations, principal balances, and interest rates for each interest in REMIC [3], each of which (other than the [R-3] Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC [3] (the “REMIC [3] Regular Interests”):
REMIC Interests | Initial Balance | Interest Rate | Corresponding Class of Certificates |
[ ] | [ (1) ] | (1) | [ ] |
[ ] | $[ ] | (2) | [ ] |
[ ] | (3) | (3) | [X] |
[ ] | $[ ] | (4) | [P] |
[ R-3 ] | (5) | (5) | [R] |
(1)
The [ ] Interest shall not have a principal balance, but shall be entitled to receive, on each Distribution Date, 100% of the interest distributable on each REMIC [2] Regular Interest with the term “[ ]” in its designation.
(2)
This Interest shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) the Interest Rate (determined without regard to the Class [A] Available Funds Cap or the Subordinate Available Funds Cap, as applicable) for the Corresponding Class of Certificates for such Interest and (ii) the weighted average of the interest rates of the [ ], [ ], and [ ] Interest, weighted on the principal balances of such Interests (the “REMIC [2] Net WAC Rate”).
(3)
The Class [X] Certificate shall be comprised of a principal-only component and an interest-only component. The principal-only component shall have an initial principal balance of $[ ], but such amount shall not bear interest. The interest-only component shall have a notional balance equal to the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans. The interest-only component shall bear interest at a rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the REMIC [2] Net WAC Rate over (ii) Adjusted Lower Tier WAC. For any Distribution Date, interest that accrues on the Class [X] Certificate shall be deferred to the extent of any increase in the Overcollateralization Amount on such date. Such deferred interest shall not itself bear interest.
(4)
The Class [P] Certificates will not be entitled to payments of interest, but will be entitled to receive all prepayment premiums or penalties or yield maintenance payments received in respect of the Mortgage Loans.
(5)
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].
On each Distribution Date, interest distributable in respect of the REMIC [2] Regular Interests for such Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Interests in REMIC [3] at the rates shown above.
On each Distribution Date, each REMIC [3] Regular Interest shall be allocated Realized Losses and principal in amounts equal to those allocated to the Corresponding Class of Certificates for each such REMIC [3] Regular Interest.
Certificates:
The following table sets forth certain characteristics of the Certificates, together with minimum denominations and integral multiples in excess thereof in which such Classes shall be issuable (except that one Residual Certificate representing the Tax Matters Person Certificate may be issued in a different amount):

For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, Class [ ] shall represent beneficial ownership of the [ ] Interest in REMIC [3]. Any amount distributed on Class [ ] on any Distribution Date in excess of the amount distributable on the [ ] Interest on such Distribution Date shall be treated as having been paid from the Reserve Fund, and any amount distributable on the [ ] Interest on such Distribution Date in excess of the amount distributable on Class [ ] on such Distribution Date shall be treated as having been paid to the Reserve Fund, all pursuant to and as further described in Section 2.06(d) hereof.
(5)
The Class [X] Certificates will not have a principal balance and will not bear interest; the Class [X] Certificates shall be entitled solely to distributions made pursuant to Section 6.05(d)(ix) and (x) hereof. For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, Class [X] shall represent (i) beneficial ownership of the [ ] Interest in REMIC [3]; (ii) beneficial ownership of the Reserve Fund; (iii) beneficial ownership of the Cap Agreement and (iv) an interest in the notional principal contracts described in Section 2.06(d) hereof.

Section 1.01. Certain Defined Terms.
As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
60-Day Delinquency Rate: With respect to any Due Period, the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (a) the numerator of which is the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Mortgage Loans 60 days or more delinquent, all Mortgage Loans in foreclosure, and all Mortgage Loans relating to REO Property as of the close of business on the last day of such Due Period and (b) the denominator of which is the Pool Balance on the last day of such Due Period.

(vii)
with respect to any Cooperative Loan, the following documents: the Security Agreement; a stock certificate evidencing the Cooperative Shares and related stock power; Proprietary Lease; and Recognition Agreement;
(viii)
with respect to each Mortgage Loan insured by the FHA, the original or a copy of the Mortgage Loan Certificate, and as to any Mortgage Loan guaranteed by the VA, the original VA Loan Guaranty Certificate, or in each case a “duplicate original” thereof in accordance with applicable Regulations; and
(ix)
if any assignment of leases is separate from the Mortgage, the original or copy thereof, together with an executed reassignment of such instrument to the Trustee.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan other than a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall either (i) deliver an Opinion of Counsel (which must be independent counsel) acceptable to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, to the effect that recording in the related jurisdiction is not required to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) promptly (and in no event later than 30 Business Days following the Closing Date) submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at the Depositor’s own expense, in the appropriate public office each Assignment referred to in Sections 2.01(b)(iii) or (iv) above. In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Depositor shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.
With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Trustee, at the expense of the Depositor and at the direction and with the cooperation of the applicable Servicer, shall cause to be taken such actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee to be clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS.
In connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Depositor further agrees that it will cause, at the Depositor’s expense, within 30 Business Days after the Closing Date, the MERS system to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans that are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files (a) the code in the field that identifies the Trustee and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the Certificates issued. The Depositor further agrees that, within 30 Business Days after the Closing Date, it will provide evidence satisfactory to the Trustee that the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence have been complied with and that it will not permit the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
If any original Mortgage Note referred to in Section 2.01(b)(i)(A) cannot be located, the obligation of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the Trustee of an original affidavit certifying that the original Mortgage Note has been lost, misplaced or destroyed. If any of the documents referred to in Section 2.01(b)(i)(B) or Section 2.01(b)(iii) above has as of the Closing Date [(or, in the case of [Subsequent Mortgage Loans] [Additional Mortgage Loans], the Transfer Date)] been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Trustee of a copy of each such document certified by the Seller in the case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Seller, delivery to the Trustee promptly upon receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by the applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original. Notice shall be provided to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies by the Seller if delivery pursuant to clause (2) above will be made more than 180 days after the Closing Date [(or, in the case of [Subsequent Mortgage Loans] [Additional Mortgage Loans], the Transfer Date)]. If the original lender’s title insurance policy was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(vi) above, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, promptly after receipt thereof, the original lender’s title insurance policy. The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt thereof any other original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.
All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not delivered to the Trustee are and shall be held by or on behalf of the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicers or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. In the event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Trustee. Any such original document delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, shall be delivered promptly to the related Servicer.
[In connection with the assignment of the Underlying Securities, the Depositor shall have caused the Underlying Securities to be registered in the name of, or endorsed to the order of, [ ], as Trustee, or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee, and to be delivered or transferred to the Trustee.] The Depositor shall cooperate with the Trustee in providing any required transfer documentation with respect to such conveyance. Any payment received by the Depositor that shall be due to the Trust Fund hereunder shall be paid immediately to the Trustee.
In addition, the Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee an executed copy of the Purchase Agreement, the BFPT II Assignment Agreement, the Assignment Agreements and the Diligence Agreement.
Section 2.02. Acceptance and Acknowledgement by Trustee.
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01, the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the assets transferred by the Depositor to be included in the Trust Fund and has directed that the documents referred to in Section 2.01 and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” be delivered to the Trustee.
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the review described below and any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below, the Trustee acknowledges receipt by it of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(b)(v)), [the Underlying Securities,] each Cap Agreement and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund,” and declares that it holds and will hold [the Underlying Securities,] such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” from time to time in trust for the benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
At or prior to the Closing Date [(or, in the case of [Subsequent Mortgage Loans] [Additional Mortgage Loans], the Transfer Date)], the Trustee shall certify in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B that with respect to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification) the related Mortgage File contains the documents specified in Exhibit B.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review each Mortgage File within [ ] days after the Closing Date [(or, in the case of [Subsequent Mortgage Loans] [Additional Mortgage Loans], the Transfer Date)] (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Closing Date [(or, in the case of [Subsequent Mortgage Loans] [Additional Mortgage Loans], the Transfer Date)], within [ ] days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, within [ ] days after the assignment thereof) and to certify, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated, damaged or torn and relate to such Mortgage Loan, and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i) through (iii) of the definition of Mortgage Loan Schedule contained herein accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee is not under any duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face, or (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in clause (v) of Section 2.01. In addition, the Trustee makes no representation or warranty regarding collectibility, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any Mortgage Loan.
Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the Master Servicer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its review the Trustee shall so notify the Depositor. In addition, upon the discovery by the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer (or upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such breach) of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the related Revolving Purchase Agreement in respect of any Re-sold Mortgage Loan or in the Purchase Agreement in respect of any other Mortgage Loan or by the Depositor in this Agreement which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
Section 2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Seller or the Depositor.
(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 any materially defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the 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 which 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(b)(i) or 2.01(b)(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.
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.
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 occur more than 90 days following 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 (i) result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” on the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup Day, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause each REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. 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.
(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.
As 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 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.
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, 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 within 90 days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or warranty made pursuant to 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, 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) the Cap Agreement and any proceeds from the sale of any Excess Cap Amount,] (E) all Holdback Amounts, (F) [the Cap Agreement,] (G) [all Underlying Securities, including, without limitation, the right to all distributions of principal and interest received on or with respect to such Underlying Securities,] and (H) 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 (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), (F), (G) and (H); (c) 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 (d) 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.
(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.
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 [, the Underlying Securities] 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 [, the Underlying Securities] 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 servicer. 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).
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 “Startup Day” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing Date. 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 the Reserve Fund 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 the Reserve Fund. Upon the termination of the Trust, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Reserve Fund will be released from the lien of the Trust 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 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 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 [3] corresponding to such Class of LIBOR Certificates on such Distribution Date over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of LIBOR Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, an “AFC Shortfall”). In addition, pursuant to each such notional principal contract, the Holders of the Class [X] Certificates will be treated as having agreed to pay the excess, if any, of the amount described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence over the amount described in clause (i) of the preceding sentence to the holders of the related Class of LIBOR Certificates. Any payments to the LIBOR 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 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 [3] and as having been paid by such holders to the Reserve Fund pursuant to the notional principal contract.
(e)
Thus, each LIBOR Certificate shall be treated as representing not only ownership of a regular interest in REMIC [3], 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 $[ ] in respect of Class [ ], $[ ] in respect of Class [ ], $[ ] in respect of Class [ ], $[ ] in respect of Class [ ] and a value of $[ ] in respect of Class [ ].
(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 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 [ ] 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 $[ ]. 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.

ARTICLE IV
ADMINISTRATION AND MASTER SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
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 (except in the case of any Mortgage Loan serviced by [ ]) 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.
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.
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.
(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.
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.
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 “[ ], as trustee, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of Bayview Financial Mortgage Pass-Through Trust 200[ ]-[ ] Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 200[ ]-[ ].” 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. The Master Servicer, at its option, may choose to make daily remittances from the Collection Account to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Distribution Account.
(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 Fees). Funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Eligible Investments (selected by and at the direction of 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. In the absence of direction by the Master Servicer, all funds in the Collection Account shall remain uninvested. 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.
Section 4.08. Application of Funds in the Collection Account.
The Master Servicer shall, from time to time, make, or cause to be made, withdrawals from the Collection Account for the following purposes, in the following order of priority:

(xi)
to make payment to itself and others pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, to the extent expressly provided thereunder;

Section 4.10. Termination of Servicing Agreements; Successor Servicers.
(a)
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of any Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. In such event, within 90 days of such termination, the Master Servicer shall, subject to Section 4.06, appoint a successor Servicer or shall itself (or through an Affiliate) act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that for so long as the Seller is the Servicing Rights Owner under any such Servicing Agreement, the Seller shall have the right to appoint a successor Servicer within thirty (30) days of the Master Servicer providing notice to the Trustee and the Seller of the Master Servicer’s intent to terminate such Servicer, subject to the provisions of Section 4.34 hereof. If the Master Servicer assumes the role of successor Servicer, or until a successor Servicer is appointed, the Master Servicer shall (i) immediately make Advances and (ii) perform all responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer; provided, however, that for the first 90-day period following a termination of a Servicer, the Master Servicer, in its capacity as successor Servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of information and/or documents that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts.
(b)
If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it replaces. The Master Servicer shall, however, be deemed to have made the representations contained in Section 3.01 hereof as of the assumption by the Master Servicer of the duties of the applicable Servicer.

If the Master Servicer is unable to appoint such a successor Servicer, the Master Servicer shall modify the provisions of such Full Recourse Servicing Agreement as it deems appropriate, in its reasonable best judgment and with the consent of the Depositor, and shall either appoint a successor Servicer or service such Mortgage Loans itself (or through an Affiliate) as provided herein. In no event shall the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates be required to service any Mortgage Loans pursuant to any Full Recourse Servicing Agreement in the absence of such modification.
(d)
In no event shall the Master Servicer be responsible for monitoring, supervising or overseeing the obligations of any Subservicer under any Subservicing Agreement.

Section 4.12. No Contractual Relationship Between Servicers and Master Servicer or Depositor.
Any Servicing Agreement (or Subservicing Agreement) that may be entered into and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Servicer shall be deemed to be between such Servicer and the other parties thereto (and to the extent the Trustee is assigned rights thereunder or made third-party beneficiaries thereof, the Trustee) and the Depositor and the Master Servicer shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to such Servicing Agreement (except as set forth in this Article IV) or Subservicing Agreement.
Section 4.13. Assumption by Trustee.
(a)
In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement), the Trustee shall have the right to appoint a Successor Master Servicer, who shall assume all of the Master Servicer’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder. Until such Successor Master Servicer is appointed, the Trustee shall assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder (including the right to receive the Master Servicing Fee hereunder) in accordance with Section 4.17(a); provided, however, the Trustee shall not be required to make any of the representations or warranties in Section 3.01 hereof. The Trustee, its designee or any Successor Master Servicer appointed by the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest herein.
The Trustee shall determine the Master Servicing Fee Rate applicable to a Successor Master Servicer (other than the Trustee in such capacity), such Master Servicing Fee Rate not to exceed the Maximum Master Servicing Fee Rate.
(b)
In the event the Master Servicer is terminated, the Master Servicer shall, (i) upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of such Master Servicer, timely deliver to the assuming party all documents and records (including, without limitation, computer tapes, disks and other electronic or magnetic media, in each case in readable format) in its possession relating to each Servicing Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient assumption of its duties as Master Servicer to the assuming party and (ii) make such reimbursements as are required under Section 4.08(x) hereof.
(c)
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of the Seller under the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent provided therein, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. In such event, the applicable Servicer shall assume such rights and obligations to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement.
Section 4.14. “Due-on-Sale” Clauses; “Due-on-Encumbrance” Clauses, Assumption Agreements; Release of Collateral.
(a)
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.
(b)
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.
(c)
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.
(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.

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.
(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.

(a)
If any of the following events (each, an “Event of Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

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 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 [ ] 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 [ ]% 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
(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 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 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 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 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 the 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 Default.

(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.
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.

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).
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.
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.

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 related 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.
(e)
REO Property acquired by or on behalf of the Trust Fund may be purchased by an Affiliate of the Depositor, provided that sale of each such REO Property maximizes proceeds to the Trust Fund. In order to ensure that any such sale is a bona fide arms’ length transaction, (i) the price paid by such affiliated purchaser shall be not less than the higher of two broker price opinions obtained from parties satisfactory to the applicable Servicer and (ii) the applicable Servicer (or Subservicer) must solicit bids in a commercially reasonable manner for the purchase of each such REO Property, and the price paid by such affiliated purchaser shall be higher than any other bid received.
Section 4.26. Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances.
(a)
Not later than 12:00 noon [ ] 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 or (ii) 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.
(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. [ ] 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] 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. In the event the Master Servicer does not receive timely information from each Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Master Servicer’s Monthly Report to the Trustee within one Business Day following the Master Servicer’s receipt of the necessary information.
Section 4.28. Annual Statements as to Compliance.
(a)
On or before March [1] of each calendar year, commencing in 20[ ], the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee a statement of compliance addressed to the Depositor and the Trustee and signed by an authorized officer of the Master Servicer, to the effect that (i) a review of the Master Servicer’s activities during the immediately preceding calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) and of its performance under this Agreement during such period has been made under such officer’s supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifically identifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Upon request, the Trustee shall forward a copy of each such statement to each Rating Agency and each Underwriter.
(b)
On or before March 1 of each calendar year, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee a report regarding its assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria specified in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB (§ 229.1122(d)), as of and for the period ending the end of each fiscal year, with respect to asset-backed security transactions taken as a whole involving the Master Servicer and that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans. Each such report shall include all of the statements required under paragraph (a) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB (§ 229.1122(a)).
(c)
Copies of such statements shall be provided to any Certificateholder upon request, by the Master Servicer or by the Trustee at the Master Servicer’s expense if the Master Servicer failed to provide such copies (unless (i) the Master Servicer shall have failed to provide the Trustee with such statement or (ii) the Trustee shall be unaware of the Master Servicer’s failure to provide such statement.
(d)
The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Depositor and the Trustee (i) of any legal proceedings pending against the Master Servicer of the type described in Item 1117 (§ 229.1117) of Regulation AB and (ii) if the Master Servicer shall become (but only to the extent not previously disclosed to the Trustee and the Depositor) at any time an affiliate of any of the Seller, the Trustee or any Servicer, Subservicer, Subcontractor or “originator” contemplated by Item 1110 (§ 229.1110) of Regulation AB, any significant obligor contemplated by Item 1112 (§ 229.1112) of Regulation AB, any enhancement or support provider contemplated by Items 1114 or 1115 (§§ 229.1114-1115) of Regulation AB or any other material party to the Trust Fund contemplated by Item 1100(d)(1) (§ 229.1100(d)(1)) of Regulation AB.
Section 4.29. Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Statement.
On or before March 1 of each calendar year, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor a report by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the assessment made by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.28(b). Such report shall be made in accordance with standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
Section 4.30. Merger or Consolidation.
Any Person into which the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, other change in form or consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor to the Master Servicer shall be a Person that shall be qualified and approved to service mortgage loans for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac, FHA and VA and shall have a net worth of not less than $[ ].
Section 4.31. Reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(a)
The Depositor shall prepare or cause to be prepared the initial current report on Form 8-K. Thereafter, within 10 days (or, if applicable, within such shorter period of time as is required under the SEC Rules) after each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall, in accordance with industry standards, sign on behalf of the Depositor and file with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (▇▇▇▇▇), a Form 10-D with (i) a copy of the statement to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date and (ii) such other information as is required by Form 10-D, including, but not limited to, the information required by Item 1121 (§229.1121) of Regulation AB, so long as such information is made available to the Master Servicer in a format compatible with ▇▇▇▇▇ filing requirements. The Master Servicer shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section; provided, however, the Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Exchange Act. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust Fund for any expenses incurred in connection with such additional filings. Prior to January 30, 20[ ], the Master Servicer shall, in accordance with industry standards, sign on behalf of the Depositor and file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable. The Master Servicer shall, as promptly as practicable, prepare and deliver to the Depositor (or such Person as the Depositor shall designate) a Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry standards, with respect to the Trust Fund. On or prior to March 20, 20[ ] (provided that the executed Form 10-K and Form 10-K Certification are timely returned to it by the signing party), the Master Servicer shall file (but will not execute) such Form 10-K. The Form 10-K shall include (w) the certification required pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Exchange Act (the “Form 10-K Certification”) signed by an appropriate officer of the Depositor (which Form 10-K Certification the Master Servicer shall not be required to sign), (x) the annual statement of compliance and assessment of compliance with servicing criteria delivered by the Trustee, the Master Servicer and each Servicer, Subservicer or applicable Subcontractor pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicing Agreements and any Subservicing Agreements, (y) the related public accounting firm attestation reports and (z) such other information as is required by SEC Rules and Regulation AB. If any party’s statement of compliance or assessment of compliance with servicing criteria required by clause (x) in the immediately preceding sentence, or the related public accounting firm attestation report required by clause (y) in the immediately preceding sentence, identifies any material instance of noncompliance with the servicing criteria specified in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB (§229.1122(d)), the Master Servicer shall identify the material instance of noncompliance in such report in the Form 10-K; and in the event that the Master Servicer is unable to include any statement of compliance or assessment of compliance required by clause (x), or any public accounting firm attestation report required by clause (y), of the immediately preceding sentence in the form 10-K, the Master Servicer shall disclose such fact in the form 10-K together with an explanation as to why such report is not included as an exhibit in the Form 10-K. The Master Servicer shall have no liability for any delay in filing the Form 10-D, Form 10-K or Form 10-K Certification due to the failure of any party to sign such Form 10-D, Form 10-K, or Form 10-K certification. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Master Servicer, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports, and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Master Servicer reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports, and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Master Servicer reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Master Servicer shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section.
(b)
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.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, as a condition to the utilization of any Subservicer or Subcontractor determined to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122, the Master Servicer shall obtain from any such Subservicer or Subcontractor used by the Master Servicer for the benefit of the Depositor a written agreement from such Subservicer or Subcontractor (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor) to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.28 and 4.29 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer or Subcontractor were the Master Servicer.
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 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;
(b)
Such successor servicer must execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Master Servicer an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, that contains an assumption by such successor servicer of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed and observed by the Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement;
(c)
There must be delivered to the Trustee and the Master Servicer a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer of servicing will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates; provided, however, that this requirement shall not apply to any transfer of servicing to [ ] or to a successor servicer that is, prior to the date of such transfer, a Servicer of Mortgage Loans;
(d)
The Servicing Rights Owner shall, at its cost and expense, take such steps, or cause the terminated Servicer to take such steps, as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and evidence the transfer of the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans to such successor servicer, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) to the extent required by the terms of the Mortgage Loans and by applicable federal and state laws and regulations, the Servicing Rights Owner shall cause the prior Servicer to timely mail to each obligor under a Mortgage Loan any required notices or disclosures describing the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to the successor servicer; (ii) prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the Servicing Rights Owner shall cause the prior Servicer to transmit to any related insurer notification of such transfer of servicing; (iii) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the Servicing Rights Owner shall cause the prior Servicer to deliver to the successor servicer all related loan documents and any related records or materials; (iv) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the Servicing Rights Owner shall cause the prior Servicer to transfer to the successor servicer, or, if such transfer occurs after a Servicer Remittance Date but before the next succeeding Master Servicer Remittance Date, to the Master Servicer, all funds held by the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans; (v) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the Servicing Rights Owner shall cause the prior Servicer to, after the effective date of the transfer of servicing to the successor servicer, continue to forward to such successor servicer, within one Business Day of receipt, the amount of any payments or other recoveries received by the prior Servicer, and to notify the successor servicer of the source and proper application of each such payment or recovery; and (vi) the Servicing Rights Owner shall cause the prior Servicer to, after the effective date of transfer of servicing to the successor servicer, continue to cooperate with the successor servicer to facilitate such transfer in such manner and to such extent as the successor servicer may reasonably request;
(e)
In the event that the Servicing Rights Owner transfers its servicing rights under the applicable Servicing Agreement, any successor Servicing Rights Owner of the servicing rights shall acknowledge in writing that it is subject to the provisions of Section 4.06 in respect of the obligations of the Seller thereunder and Section 4.34 of this Agreement; and
(f)
Prior to amending any Servicing Agreement or consenting to any amendment or modification thereof, the Servicing Rights Owner shall obtain the prior written consent of the Master Servicer and the Trustee (such consent to be not unreasonably withheld) and shall obtain the consent of any Pool PMI Insurer, to the extent that such consent is required under the related Pool PMI Insurance Policy.
Section 4.35. Master Servicer Exchange Act Reporting Requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that, following the Closing Date, the contents of Forms 10-D, 10-K or other Forms required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission, or the time by which such Forms are required to be filed, differ from the provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer hereby agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Agreement (in accordance with Section 10.05) in order to comply with such amended reporting requirements. Any such amendment to this Agreement may result in the reduction or increase of the reports filed under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section that adversely affects its obligations and immunities under this Agreement.
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.
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 (x) by wire transfer in immediately available funds or by check, as provided in Section 6.06 to the account of such holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder has so notified the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) a Notional Amount Certificate, (B) 100% of the Class Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates or (C) Certificates of any Class with aggregate principal Denominations of not less than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Certificate Register.
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.
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 and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided; provided, however, that the Class [R] 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.
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)
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 Exhibits K and L, or in the event such ERISA-Restricted Certificate is a Residual Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit O), to the effect that (i) 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 (ii) 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.
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.
(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:
(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.
(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.
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 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.

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.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Agreement any of the Certificates shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee and deliver such Certificates so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Certificates shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Certificates either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Certificates or in this Agreement provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.
Section 9.08. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
(a)
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 9.09 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 9.06 hereof.
(b)
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i)
all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii)
no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii)
the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
(c)
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article Six. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
(d)
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.
Section 9.09. Eligibility; Disqualification.

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw from the Certificate Distribution Account, pursuant to Section 6.04(c) hereof, the Trustee Fee. In addition, the Trustee and any co-trustee are entitled to reimbursement from the Collection Account, in accordance with Section 4.08(ix) of this Agreement, for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee or any co-trustee in accordance with any provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ, and the expenses incurred by the Trustee or any co-trustee in connection with the appointment of an office or agency pursuant to Section 9.08 hereof) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; provided, however, that the Trustee’s reimbursable fees and expenses may not exceed $[100,000] during any Anniversary Year. In the event that the Trustee incurs reimbursable fees and expenses in excess of $[100,000], it may seek reimbursement for such amounts in subsequent Anniversary Years, but in no event shall more than $[100,000] be reimbursed to the Trustee per Anniversary Year.

(b)
On or before March 1 of each calendar year, the Trustee shall each deliver to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a report by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the assessment made by such asserting party pursuant to subsection (a) above.

Section 10.01. Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of all Mortgage Loans.
Subject to Section 10.03, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee created hereby (other than obligations expressly stated to survive the termination of the Trust Fund) shall terminate on the date (the “Termination Date”) which is the earlier to occur of:
(i)
the day after the day on which the Certificates, including any Deferred Principal Amounts owed thereon, are paid in full (including payment pursuant to Section 10.02 below); and
(ii)
the date that is 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof.
Section 10.02. Optional Termination; Final Distribution on the Certificates.
(a)
On the first Distribution Date on or after the date on which the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the LIBOR Certificates is less than [ ]% of the Initial Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance, the Trustee or its agent shall solicit bids for the purchase of the Mortgage Loans [, the Underlying Securities] and all other property of the Trust Fund. To effectuate such sale, the Trustee (or an agent thereof) shall make reasonable efforts to sell all of the property of the Trust Fund for its fair market value in a commercially reasonable manner and on commercially reasonable terms, which shall include the good faith solicitation of competitive bids to prospective purchasers that are considered at the time to be competitive participants in the applicable mortgage market. The Trustee may consult any financial advisor of its choice in order to identify potential bidders. The Trustee (or an agent thereof) shall sell all of the property of the Trust Fund to the highest bidder; provided, that (i) the sale price shall not be less than the Minimum Bid Price and (ii) the Trustee shall have received bids from no fewer than three prospective purchasers. The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for all costs and expenses incurred by it under this Section 10.02(a) before the proceeds are distributed to Certificateholders.
If after following the procedures set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph the Trustee is unable to identify a prospective purchaser of the Trust Fund property that is willing to pay the Minimum Bid Price therefor, the Trustee (or an agent thereof) shall repeat the above-specified process at three-month intervals until the property of the Trust Fund has been sold.
(b)
On any Distribution Date on or after the first Distribution Date on which the Pool Balance as of the beginning of the related Due Period is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance, the Master Servicer, acting directly or through one or more Affiliates, shall have the option to purchase from the Trustee all (but not fewer than all) of the Mortgage Loans and all other property of the Trust Fund at a cash price equal to the sum of (v) the greater of (i) the sum of (a) the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan immediately prior to the date of purchase and (b) the amount of any costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund as a result of any violation of any predatory or abusive lending law arising from or in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the fair market value of such Mortgage Loans (disregarding accrued interest), (w) any accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loans from the date as to which interest was last paid to (but not including) the Due Date in the Due Period immediately preceding the related Distribution Date, calculated at the Mortgage Rate thereon to but not including the related Distribution Date, (x) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan, (y) the Class [A-IO] Termination Amount and (z) the fair market value of all other property of the Trust Fund (the sum of the amounts in clauses (v)-(z), the “Termination Price”). 100% of the Holders of the Class [X] Certificates shall have (I) the right to direct the Master Servicer to exercise such option and (II) the obligation to purchase the Mortgage Loans and all other property of the Trust Fund from the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall deliver written notice of its intention to exercise such option to the Trustee not less than ten days prior to the applicable Distribution Date. Upon exercise of such option, the property of the Trust Fund shall be sold to the Master Servicer at a price equal to the Termination Price, whereupon the Master Servicer shall immediately sell such property to the Holders of the Class [X] Certificates at a price equal to the Termination Price. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund unless and until the Master Servicer shall have received funds from the Holders of the Class [X] Certificates in an amount equal to the Termination Price.
The right of the Holders of the Class [X] Certificates to direct the Master Servicer to exercise such optional purchase right is superior to such right of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer may only exercise such optional right on its own behalf if the Holders of the Class [X] Certificates do not direct the Master Servicer to exercise the right as set forth in this Section. In connection with such purchase, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Trustee all amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account in respect of the related Total Distribution Amount for deposit to the Certificate Distribution Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such purchase.
(c)
If on any Determination Date the Master Servicer determines that there are no outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the Certificate Distribution Account, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee promptly to send a final distribution notice to each Certificateholder. If the Master Servicer on its own behalf, or at the direction of the Holders of the Class [X] Certificates, elects to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (b) of Section 10.02, at least 10 days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee of the date of termination of the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the [ ] day and no later than the [ ] day of the month next preceding the month of such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Trustee will give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.
In the event such notice is given, the Master Servicer shall cause all funds in the Collection Account to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the Trustee shall promptly release to the purchaser the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in each case on the final Distribution Date and in the order set forth in Section 6.05(g), in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class of Regular Certificates, the Class Principal Balance thereof plus accrued interest thereon (or on their Class Notional Balance, if applicable) in the case of an interest bearing Certificate (plus, as to the Class [A-IO] Certificates, the Class [A-IO] Termination Amount, in the case of termination pursuant to Section 10.02(a) or (b) above), and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (i) above.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class [R] Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund which remain subject hereto.
(d)
In connection with any purchase of the property of the Trust Fund pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 10.02, the Master Servicer shall reimburse itself and each applicable Servicer for any amounts to be reimbursed to the Master Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreements from funds in the Collection Account prior to remitting the balance of the funds in the Collection Account to the Certificate Distribution Account. Promptly following any such purchase pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section, the Trustee shall release the Mortgage Files to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 10.02, or otherwise upon its order.
(e)
Promptly following the sale of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section, the Master Servicer shall notify each Servicer in writing of the date of sale and the identity of the purchaser.
Section 10.03. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a)
In the event that the Master Servicer exercises the purchase option as provided in Section 10.02(b) on its own behalf, or at the direction of the Holders of the Class [X] Certificates (each of the Master Servicer and the Holders of the Class [X] Certificates, a “Terminating Party”), the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Terminating Party, to the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.03 will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event:
(i)

(ii)
Within 90 days after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the Master Servicer for cash.
(b)
The Trustee as agent for any REMIC hereby agrees to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written request of the Master Servicer, and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 10.03(a)(i) and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Master Servicer.
(c)
By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby authorize the Terminating Party to prepare and the Trustee to adopt and sign a plan of complete liquidation.

(b)
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee, with the consent of the Required Certificateholders, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, collections of payments on the Mortgage Loans or distributions which are required to be made on any Certificate then outstanding, (b) reduce the percentage required to consent to any such amendment, (c) cause the Trust to be taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or (d) modify this Section 10.05(b) without the consent of the Holders of all of the Certificates.

In furtherance of such intention, the Master Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Master Servicer is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of any such REMIC and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to any such REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such information at the time or time in the manner required by the Code; (c) make or cause to be made elections that such assets be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its control conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of any REMIC status; (h) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this Section 10.14, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any such REMIC prior to its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; (j) maintain records relating to any such REMIC, including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; and (k) as and when necessary and appropriate, represent any such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any such REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of any such REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of any such REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.
In order to enable the Master Servicer to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Master Servicer within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Master Servicer requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Master Servicer promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Master Servicer may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Master Servicer to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Master Servicer for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Master Servicer arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Master Servicer that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Master Servicer on a timely basis.
In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC hereunder after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any minimum tax imposed upon any REMIC hereunder pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Master Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, or if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the Seller, if any such tax arises out of or results from the Seller’s obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event that the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Seller fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders.

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the sale by______________(the “Seller”) to ___________(the “Purchaser”) of _______% Percentage Interest of Bayview Financial Mortgage Pass-Through Trust 200[ ]-[ ] Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 200[ ]-[ ], Class [R] (the “Certificate”), pursuant to Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”) dated as of [ ] among Bayview Financial Securities Company, LLC, as depositor (the “Depositor”), [ ], as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), and [ ], as trustee (the “Trustee”). 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 Class [R] 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.
6.
The Purchaser has represented to the Seller that, if the Certificates constitute 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.
We agree to indemnify the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee against any liability that may result if we sell or transfer a Residual Certificate to a purchaser or transferee who does not comply with any conditions for transfer set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Very truly yours,
