This
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is dated and effective as of November 1, 2006,
among ACE SECURITIES CORP., as Depositor, COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS SERVICING
LP,
as a Servicer, ▇▇▇▇▇ FARGO BANK, N.A., Master Servicer and Securities
Administrator and HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Trustee.
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT:
The
Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be issued hereunder
in
multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial
ownership interest of the Trust Fund created hereunder. The Trust Fund will
consist of a segregated pool of assets comprised of the Mortgage Loans and
certain other related assets subject to this Agreement.
REMIC
I
As
provided herein, the Securities Administrator will elect to treat the segregated
pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets
subject to this Agreement (other than the Reserve Fund and, for the avoidance
of
doubt, the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Swap Agreement) as a REMIC for
federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be
designated as “REMIC I”. The Class R-I Interest will be the sole class of
“residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined
herein). The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the REMIC
I
Remittance Rate, the initial Uncertificated Balance and, for purposes of
satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest
possible maturity date” for each of the REMIC I Regular Interests (as defined
herein). None of the REMIC I Regular Interests will be
certificated.

the
Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for the Class A-1A Certificates, (ii) the Net WAC
Pass-Through Rate for the Class A-1B Certificates and (iii) the Net WAC

in connection with performing its obligations under this Agreement or under
the
Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

SECTION
2.02. Acceptance
of REMIC I by Trustee.
The
Trustee acknowledges receipt, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01
hereof and Section 2 of the Custodial Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan
Documents and all other assets included in the definition of “REMIC I” under
clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) (to the extent of amounts deposited into the
Distribution Account) and declares that it holds (or the Custodian on its behalf
holds) and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it
constituting a Mortgage Loan Document, and that it holds (or the Custodian
on
its behalf holds) or will hold all such assets and such other assets included
in
the definition of “REMIC I” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders.
SECTION
2.03. Repurchase
or Substitution of Mortgage Loans.
(a) Upon
discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or
that
a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of a breach by the Sponsor of
any
representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
in respect of any Mortgage Loan that materially and adversely affects the value
of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the
Trustee shall promptly notify the Sponsor and the related Servicer of such
defect, missing document or breach and request that the Sponsor deliver such
missing document, cure such defect or breach within sixty (60) days from the
date the Sponsor was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and
if
the Sponsor does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach
in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the
obligations of the Sponsor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to
repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within ninety
(90) days after the date on which the Sponsor was notified of such missing
document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Sponsor is obligated
to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for
the
repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the related Servicer for deposit
in the related Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written
certification from the related Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause
the Custodian (upon receipt of a request for release in the form attached to
the
Custodial Agreement) to release to the Sponsor the related Mortgage File and
the
Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment,
in
each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Sponsor shall
furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Sponsor any Mortgage
Loan
released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall not have any further
responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any
such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, the Sponsor may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed
from
REMIC I (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(b) of this Agreement. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Sponsor to cure or to
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 shall constitute the sole remedy
respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee and the
Certificateholders.
108
In
addition, promptly upon the earlier of discovery by a Servicer or receipt of
notice by a Servicer of the breach of the representation or covenant of the
Sponsor set forth in Section 5(xii) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the
Class
P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, such Servicer shall promptly notify
the
Sponsor and the Trustee of such breach. The Trustee shall enforce the
obligations of the Sponsor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remedy
such breach to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement.
(b) Any
substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) of this Agreement must be effected prior
to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As
to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Sponsor substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Sponsor
delivering to the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, for such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage,
the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with
all
necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2 of the
Custodial Agreement, as applicable, together with an Officers’ Certificate
providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the
definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as
described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt of such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, review
such documents and deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the related
Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans,
an
initial certification pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee
and the related Servicer a final certification pursuant to the Custodial
Agreement 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 month of substitution are not part
of
REMIC I and will be retained by the Sponsor. For the month of substitution,
distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly Payment due on
such
Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution,
and the Sponsor 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 Certificateholders that such
substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect
the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement
and
the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall
deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the
related Servicer. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject
in
all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, including all applicable representations and warranties thereof
included herein or in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
109
For
any
month in which the Sponsor substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the related Servicer will
determine the amount (the “Substitution Shortfall Amount”), if any, by which the
aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the
aggregate of, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Scheduled
Principal Balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one
month’s interest on such Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable Net
Mortgage Rate, plus all outstanding P&I Advances and Servicing Advances
(including Nonrecoverable P&I Advances and Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advances) related thereto. On the date of such substitution, the Sponsor will
deliver or cause to be delivered to the related Servicer for deposit in the
related Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount,
if any, and the Trustee or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt
of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, upon receipt of
a
request for release in the form attached to the Custodial Agreement and
certification by the related Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the
Sponsor the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranty, as the Sponsor shall deliver to it and
as
shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto.
In
addition, the Sponsor shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a)
any federal tax to be imposed on any Trust REMIC, including without limitation,
any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under
Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date”
under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
110
(c) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, the Sponsor, a 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
within two (2) Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties.
In connection therewith, the Sponsor shall repurchase or substitute one or
more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within ninety
(90) days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect
to
such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made
by
(i) the Sponsor if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified
mortgage is or results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant
made by the Sponsor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (ii) the
Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage
does not result from a breach of a representation or warranty. Any such
repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in
Section 2.03(a) of this Agreement. The Trustee shall reconvey to the
Sponsor 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.
(d) With
respect to a breach of the representations made pursuant to Section 5(xii)
of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that materially and adversely affects
the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the
Certificateholders, the Sponsor shall be required to take the actions set forth
in this Section 2.03 of this Agreement.
(e) Within
ninety (90) days of the earlier of discovery by Countrywide or receipt of notice
by Countrywide of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of
Countrywide set forth in Section 2.05 of this Agreement which materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage
Loan or Prepayment Charge with respect to a Mortgage Loan, Countrywide shall
cure such breach in all material respects.

ARTICLE
III
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING
OF
THE
MORTGAGE LOANS; ACCOUNTS
SECTION
3.01. The
Servicer to Act as Servicer.
The
obligations of Countrywide hereunder to service and administer the Mortgage
Loans shall be limited to the Countrywide Mortgage Loans, and with respect
to
the duties and obligations of Countrywide, references in this Article III to
the
Mortgage Loans or related Mortgage Loans shall be limited to the Countrywide
Mortgage Loans (and the related proceeds thereof and related REO Properties).
In
addition, references in this Article III to the Servicer shall be deemed to
refer to Countrywide unless the context indicates otherwise, and references
to
the Collection Account or related Collection Account shall be deemed to refer
to
the Collection Account established hereunder by Countrywide. From and after
the
Closing Date to the Servicing Transfer Date, the New Century Mortgage Loans
will
be serviced and administered by New Century pursuant to the terms and provisions
of the Servicing Agreement, and Countrywide shall not have any responsibility
to
service or administer the New Century Mortgage Loans during that period.
On
and
after the Closing Date with respect to the Countrywide Mortgage Loans and from
and after the Servicing Transfer Date with respect to the New Century Mortgage
Loans, the Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf
of
the Trust Fund and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment)
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans
and all applicable law and regulations and, to the extent consistent with such
terms, in the same manner in which it services and administers similar mortgage
loans for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and usual
standards of practice of prudent mortgage lenders and loan servicers
administering similar mortgage loans but without regard to:
(i) any
relationship that the Servicer or any of its Affiliates may have with the
related Mortgagor;
(ii) the
ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any of its
Affiliates;
(iii) the
Servicer’s obligation to make P&I Advances or Servicing Advances;
or
(iv) the
Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services
hereunder.
provided,
however, that with respect to the New Century Mortgage Loans serviced pursuant
to the Servicing Agreement, Countrywide will be entitled to seek indemnification
in accordance with Section 7.03 hereof for any liability attributable to
it as a result of the acts and omissions of New Century or any other
prior servicer or the failure of New Century or any other prior servicer to
service the New Century Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Servicing
Agreement.
118
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer shall also seek to maximize
the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the related
Mortgage Notes and shall waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment
Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard
and
customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and such waiver is related to
a
default or reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment
of the Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the
value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan and, if such
waiver is made in connection with a refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan,
such refinancing is related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default,
(ii) such Prepayment Charge is unenforceable in accordance with applicable
law
or the collection of such related Prepayment Charge would otherwise violate
applicable law or (iii) the collection of such Prepayment Charge would be
considered “predatory” pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any
applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in its official
capacity and having jurisdiction over such matters. Notwithstanding any
provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Prepayment Charge
payable under the terms of the Mortgage Note is less than the amount of the
Prepayment Charge set forth in the Prepayment Charge Schedule or other
information provided to the Servicer, the Servicer and the Master Servicer
shall
not have any liability or obligation with respect to such difference (including
any obligation to recalculate any Prepayment Charges), and in addition shall
not
have any liability or obligation to pay the amount of any uncollected Prepayment
Charge if the failure to collect such amount is the direct result of inaccurate
or incomplete information on the Prepayment Charge Schedule.
Subject
only to the above-described servicing standards (the “Accepted Servicing
Practices”) and the terms of this Agreement and of the related Mortgage Loans,
the Servicer shall have full power and authority, to do or cause to be done
any
and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it
may
deem necessary or desirable with the goal of maximizing proceeds of the Mortgage
Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its
own
name is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Servicer
believes it appropriate in its best judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, and
upon written notice to the Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction
or
cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge or subordination,
and
all other comparable instruments, with respect to the related Mortgage Loans
and
the related Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or
obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such
properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf
of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders.
The Servicer shall service and administer the related Mortgage Loans in
accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall provide to the
Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby. The Servicer
shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable
rules
and requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard insurance policy.
Subject to Section 3.14, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request
of
the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer a power of attorney in the form of
Exhibit D hereto and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the
Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and
furnished to the Trustee by the Servicer, and the Trustee shall not be liable
for the actions of the Servicer under such powers of attorney and shall be
indemnified by the Servicer for any cost, liability or expense incurred by
the
Trustee in connection with the Servicer’s use or misuse of any such power of
attorney.
119
The
Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered in its own name or in the name
of a
Sub-Servicer, when the Servicer or such Sub-Servicer, as the case may be,
believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan
on
the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage
Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and
the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment
and
other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording
of
a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its
successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
the
actions described in the preceding sentence or as a result of MERS discontinuing
or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with the MERS® System,
shall be reimbursable by the Trust Fund to the Servicer.
In
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Servicer shall make or cause
to be made Servicing Advances as necessary for the purpose of effecting the
payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which Servicing
Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections
from the related Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.07 of this Agreement, and
further as provided in Section 3.09 of this Agreement; provided, however, the
Servicer shall only make such Servicing Advance if the related Mortgagor has
not
made such payment and if the failure to make such Servicing Advance would result
in the loss of the related Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or foreclosure
as result of a tax lien; provided, however, that the Servicer shall be required
to make such Servicing Advances only to the extent that such Servicing Advances,
in the good faith judgment of the Servicer, will be recoverable by the Servicer
out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, or otherwise out of the
proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in
effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall
not, for the purpose of calculating the Stated Principal Balance of such
Mortgage Loan or distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms
of such Mortgage Loan so permit. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge
that
Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.09 of this
Agreement, and agree that no Servicing Advance shall be rejected or disallowed
by any party unless it has been shown that such Servicing Advance was not made
in accordance with
the
terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the parties understand and agree that, with respect to any
Mortgage Loan (1) the Master Servicer shall not approve the reimbursement of
any
Servicing Advance made with respect to such Mortgage Loan prior to the Cut-off
Date (each, a “Pre-Cut-off Date Advance”) unless and until it has received a
Servicing Advance Schedule listing the amount of Pre-Cut-off Date Advances
made
in respect of such Mortgage Loan from (a) the Servicer with respect to any
Mortgage Loans that were transferred to the Servicer prior to the Cut-off Date
and/or (b) the Depositor with respect to any Mortgage Loans that were
transferred to the Servicer after the Cut-off Date, (2) the aggregate
Pre-Cut-off Date Advances reimbursable hereunder with respect to such Mortgage
Loan shall not exceed the amount of Pre-Cut-off Date Advances for such Mortgage
Loan shown on the Servicing Advance Schedule delivered to the Master Servicer,
(3) the Depositor shall be deemed to have agreed with and approved the
Pre-Cut-off Date Advances shown on any Servicing Advance Schedule furnished
to
the Master Servicer, and (4) the Master Servicer will have no liability to
the
Depositor, the Servicer or any other Person, including any Certificateholder,
for approving reimbursement of related Pre-Cut-off Date Advances so long as
the
aggregate amount of such advances reimbursed hereunder does not exceed of the
amount of Pre-Cut-off Date Advances for such Mortgage Loan shown on the
Servicing Advance Schedule.
120
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any future
advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan and shall not permit any modification
with respect to any related Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate,
reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions resulting from
actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such related
Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.06 of this Agreement, the
related Mortgagor is in default with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or
such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or
any
modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any related Mortgage Loan
that
would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under
Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of
any
tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions after the startup date” under
the REMIC Provisions.
In
the
event that the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to a Mortgage Loan contain
provisions requiring the related Mortgagor to arbitrate disputes (at the option
of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust), the Trustee hereby authorizes the
Servicer to waive the Trustee’s right or option to arbitrate disputes and to
send written notice of such waiver to the Mortgagor, although the Mortgagor
may
still require arbitration at its option.
The
Servicer will fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act
and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g.,
favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian
and
Trans Union Credit Information Company or their successors on a monthly
basis.
SECTION
3.02. Sub-Servicing
Agreements Between the Servicer and Sub-Servicers.
(a) The
Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by a Sub-
Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement; provided that such sub-servicing
arrangement and the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement must provide
for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the
servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. If required by Regulation AB,
the
Servicer shall cause any Sub-Servicer used by the Servicer (or by any
Sub-Servicer) for the benefit of the Master Servicer and the Depositor to comply
with the provisions of this Section and with Sections 3.17, 3.18, 3.19(g) and
3.27 of this Agreement (provided, however, that the Servicer acknowledges that
it shall cause any Sub-Servicer to comply with Section 3.19(a) although it
is
not required by Regulation AB to comply with Section 3.19(a)), and to provide
the information required with respect to such Sub-Servicer under Section 3.19(f)
of this Agreement. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each
Sub-Servicer and delivering to the Master Servicer any annual statement of
compliance, assessment of compliance, attestation report and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇
related certification as and when required to be delivered. Each Sub-Servicer
shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states where the
related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent
required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations
hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) a Freddie Mac or ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇ approved mortgage servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any
Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between the Servicer or a Sub-Servicer or reference
to actions taken through the Servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders
for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or
liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by
virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and
under
the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and
administering the Mortgage Loans. Every Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into
by
the Servicer shall contain a provision giving the successor servicer the option
to terminate such agreement in the event a successor servicer is appointed.
All
actions of each Sub-Servicer performed pursuant to the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Servicer with the same force
and
effect as if performed directly by the Servicer.
121
(b) If
required by Regulation AB, the Servicer shall promptly, upon request, provide
to
the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor a written description of
the
role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor (ii) which
(if any) of such Subcontractors are Servicing Function Participants, and (iii)
which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of
compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (ii)
of
this subsection; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required
to
provide the information in clauses (i) or (ii) of this subsection until such
time that the applicable assessment of compliance is due pursuant to Section
3.18 of this Agreement. The use by the Servicer of any such Subcontractor shall
not release the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Servicer
shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of such
Subcontractor as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer,
and the Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of the Subcontractor from
the
Servicer’s own funds.
(c) The
Servicer shall cause any Servicing Function Participant for the benefit of
the
Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor to comply with the provisions
of
Sections 3.18 and 3.19 of this Agreement. The Servicer shall be responsible
for
obtaining from each such Servicing Function Participant and delivering to the
Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor any assessment of compliance,
attestation report and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ related certification required to be
delivered by such Subcontractor under Sections 3.18 and 3.19, in each case
as
and when required to be delivered.
(d) For
purposes of this Agreement, the related Servicer shall be deemed to have
received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage
Loans that are received by a Sub-Servicer regardless of whether such payments
are remitted by the Sub-Servicer to the Servicer.
122
SECTION
3.03. Successor
Sub-Servicers.
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Servicer shall be entitled to
terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and to either itself directly service
the
related Mortgage Loans or enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor
Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement
shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated
as
soon as is reasonably possible by any successor to the Servicer without fee
or,
in the event a termination fee exists, such fee shall be payable by the Servicer
from its own funds without reimbursement therefor, in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, in the event that the Servicer (or any successor to the
Servicer) shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer of the related
Mortgage Loans (including termination due to the Servicer Event of Default).
The
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with its Sub-Servicer
and
Subcontractor for indemnification of the Servicer or Subcontractor, as
applicable by such Sub-Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall
be
deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
SECTION
3.04. No
Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicer, Subcontractor, Master Servicer,
Trustee or the Certificateholders.
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to
the
Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer or a Subcontractor, as applicable shall
be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer or Subcontractor,
as
applicable, alone and the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any Sub-Servicer
or
Subcontractor except as set forth in Section 3.05 of this
Agreement.
SECTION
3.05. Assumption
or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreement by Successor Servicer.
In
connection with the assumption of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
and of the authority, power and rights of the Servicer hereunder by a successor
servicer pursuant to Section 8.02, it is understood and agreed that the
Servicer’s rights and obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement then in
force between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously
by
such successor servicer without act or deed on the part of such successor
servicer; provided, however, that any successor servicer may terminate the
Sub-Servicer.
The
Servicer shall, upon the reasonable request of the Master Servicer, but at
its
own expense, deliver to the assuming party documents and records relating to
each Sub-Servicing Agreement and an accounting of amounts collected and held
by
it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.
The
Servicing Fee payable to any such successor servicer shall be payable from
payments received on the related Mortgage Loans in the amount and in the manner
set forth in this Agreement.
123
SECTION
3.06. Collection
of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
The
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under
the terms and provisions of the related Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent
such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and Accepted Servicing
Practices, follow such collection procedures as it would follow with respect
to
mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account.
Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive
any
late payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest or (ii) extend the
due
dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note related to a Mortgage
Loan
for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant
to this clause shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan
for purposes of any computation hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the
event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer,
such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with Accepted
Servicing Practices may waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan
(including, but not limited to, modifications that change the Mortgage Rate,
forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date
of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount
less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage
Loan, or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term
or
otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer’s determination
such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse
to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into account any estimated
Realized Loss that might result absent such action). The Servicer shall not
be
required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any
payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any
public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation)
if it
reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other
instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by
applicable law.
SECTION
3.07. Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts.
To
the
extent the terms of a Mortgage provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall
establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into
which all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from
Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, fire, flood, and hazard
insurance premiums, and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors
(“Escrow Payments”) shall be deposited and retained. Servicing Accounts shall be
Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account in which
it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than one (1) Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, all Escrow
Payments collected on account of the related Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter
deposit such Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in no event later than
the second Business Day after the deposit of good funds into the clearing
account, and retain therein, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the
related Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of
any
such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts
from a Servicing Account may be made by the Servicer only to (i) effect timely
payment of taxes, assessments, fire, flood, and hazard insurance premiums,
and
comparable items; (ii) reimburse itself out of related collections for any
Servicing Advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and
assessments) and Section 3.11 (with respect to fire, flood and hazard
insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be
overages; (iv) for application to restore or repair the related Mortgaged
Property in accordance with Section 3.11; (v) pay interest, if required and
as
described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; or, only
to
the extent not required to be paid to the related Mortgagors, to pay itself
interest on balances in the Servicing Account; or (vi) clear and terminate
the
Servicing Account at the termination of the Servicer’s obligations and
responsibilities in respect of the related Mortgage Loans under this Agreement
in accordance with Article X. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer
shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the
extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in
the
Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its own funds,
without any reimbursement therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer
shall not be obligated to collect Escrow Payments if the related Mortgage Loan
does not require such payments but the Servicer shall nevertheless be obligated
to make Servicing Advances as provided in Section 3.01 and Section 3.11. In
the
event the Servicer shall deposit in the Servicing Accounts any amount not
required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from
the Servicing Accounts, any provision to the contrary
notwithstanding.
124
To
the
extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer (i)
shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner
and at a time that is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property
due
to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien and (ii) shall ensure
that all insurance required to be maintained on the Mortgaged Property pursuant
to this Agreement is maintained. If any such payment has not been made and
the
Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage Loan being
imposed, the Servicer shall, promptly and to the extent required to avoid loss
of the Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary
to
discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property unless the Servicer determines
the
advance to be nonrecoverable. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for
the
payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills
irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or
the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances to effect
such payments subject to its determination of recoverability.
SECTION
3.08. Collection
Account and Distribution Account.
(a) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
“Collection Accounts”, held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deposit
or
cause to be deposited in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits
payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage
loan
servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business
Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the
Collection Account, in no event later than two Business Days after the deposit
of good funds into the clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise
required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made
by
it on or subsequent to the Cut-off Date other than amounts attributable to
a Due
Date on or prior to the Cut-off Date:
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the
related Mortgage Loans;
125
(ii) all
payments on account of interest (net of the related Servicing Fee and any
Prepayment Interest Excess) on each related Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all
Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other than proceeds collected
in
respect of any particular REO Property) and all Subsequent Recoveries with
respect to the related Mortgage Loans;
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10
of this Agreement in connection with any losses realized on Permitted
Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection Account;
(v) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 3.11(a) of this Agreement in respect of any blanket
policy deductibles;
(vi) any
Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount delivered to the Servicer and
all proceeds (net of amounts payable or reimbursable to the Servicer, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Securities Administrator) of
Mortgage Loans purchased in accordance with Section 2.03, Section 3.13
or Section 10.01 of this Agreement; and
(vii) any
Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer in connection with the Principal
Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans or amounts required to be deposited
by
the Servicer in connection with a breach of its obligations under Section
2.05.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive,
it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Ancillary Income need not be deposited by the Servicer in the
Collection Account and may be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing
compensation. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account
any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw
such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
(b) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain
one
or more accounts (such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in
trust for the benefit of the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders.
On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to the Securities
Administrator in immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution
Account on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available
Distribution Amount (calculated without regard to the references in clause
(2)
of the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the Distribution
Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection
Account and the amount of all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer
in
connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans then
on
deposit in the Collection Account and the amount of any funds reimbursable
to an
Advance Financing Person pursuant to Section 3.25 of this Agreement. If the
balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $100,000 as of the
commencement of business on any Business Day and the Collection Account
constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition
of “Eligible Account,” the Servicer shall, on or before 5:00 p.m. New York time
on such Business Day, withdraw from the Collection Account any and all amounts
payable or reimbursable to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Sponsor pursuant to Section 3.09
of this Agreement and shall pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto
or
shall establish a separate Collection Account (which shall also be an Eligible
Account) and withdraw from the existing Collection Account the amount on deposit
therein in excess of $100,000 and deposit such excess in the newly created
Collection Account.
126
With
respect to any remittance received by the Securities Administrator on or after
the first Business Day following the Business Day on which such payment was
due,
the Securities Administrator shall send written notice thereof to the Servicer.
The Servicer shall pay to the Securities Administrator interest on any such
late
payment by the Servicer at an annual rate equal to Prime Rate (as defined in
The
Wall Street Journal)
plus
one percentage point, but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted
by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Servicer to the Securities
Administrator on the date such late payment is made and shall cover the period
commencing with the day following the Servicer Remittance Date and ending with
the Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. The payment
by
the Servicer of any such interest, or the failure of the Securities
Administrator to notify the Servicer of such interest, shall not be deemed
an
extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Event of Default by the
Servicer.
(c) Funds
in
the Collection Account and in the Distribution Account may be invested in
Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section
3.10. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer of the location of the Collection Account
when established and prior to any change thereof. The Securities Administrator
shall give notice to the Servicer and the Depositor of the location of the
Distribution Account when established and prior to any change
thereof.
(d) Funds
held in the Collection Accounts at any time may be delivered by Countrywide
or
New Century in immediately available funds to the Securities Administrator
for
deposit in the Distribution Account. In the event Countrywide or New Century
shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution
Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time
request that the Securities Administrator withdraw such amount from the
Distribution Account and remit to it any such amount, any provision herein
to
the contrary notwithstanding. In no event shall the Securities Administrator
incur liability as a result of withdrawals from the Distribution Account at
the
direction of such Servicer in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence. In addition, Countrywide shall deliver to the Securities Administrator
no later than the Servicer Remittance Date the amounts set forth in clauses
(i)
through (iv) below:
(i) any
P&I Advances, as required pursuant to Section 5.03 of this
Agreement;
(ii) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.21(d) or 3.21(f) of
this
Agreement in connection with any related REO Property;
127
(iii) any
amounts to be paid in connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties pursuant to Section 10.01 of this Agreement; and
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.22 of this Agreement
in
connection with any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.

(ii) subject
to Section 3.13(d) of this Agreement, to reimburse itself (including any

Amount;
(vi) to
reimburse itself (including any successor to the Servicer) for
(A) any
P&I Advance or Servicing Advance previously made by it which the Servicer

Agreement provided however, that the Servicer shall not be entitled to
reimbursement for any Servicing Advance made prior to the Cut-off Date if the
Servicer determines that such Servicing Advance constitutes a Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance of this Agreement;
128
(B) any
unpaid Servicing Fees to the extent not recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds or other amounts received with respect to the related
Mortgage Loan under Section 3.06(a)(iii) of this Agreement; or

the terms of this Agreement; provided that the Servicer shall only reimburse
itself for such P&I Advances and Servicing Advances at the time of such
modification or as otherwise provided in this Section 3.09;
(vii) to
reimburse itself or the Depositor for expenses incurred by or reimbursable
to
itself or the Depositor, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section

(viii) to
reimburse itself or the Trustee, as the case may be, for expenses reasonably

Agreement.
The

Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to
subclauses (ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x)
above.
(b) The

Agreement;

SECTION
3.10. Investment
of Funds in the Investment Accounts.
(a) The
Servicer may direct, by means of written directions (which may be standing
directions), any Depository Institution maintaining the Collection Account
to
invest the funds in the Collection Account (for purposes of this Section 3.10,
an “Investment Account”) in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest
or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later
than
the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required
to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other
than the Securities Administrator is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later
than
the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account
pursuant to this Agreement, if the Securities Administrator is the obligor
on
such Permitted Investment. Amounts in the Distribution Account may be invested
in Permitted Investments as directed in writing by the Master Servicer and
maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the
Securities Administrator is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the
date
on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant
to
this Agreement, if the Securities Administrator is the obligor thereon. All
such
Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand.
Any
investment of funds shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity
as
such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Securities Administrator
shall be entitled to sole possession over each such investment in the
Distribution Account and, subject to subsection (b) below, the income thereon,
and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall
be
delivered directly to the Securities Administrator or its agent, together with
any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to
the
Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in the Collection
Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand,
the party with investment discretion over such Investment Account
shall:
130
(x) consistent
with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon
be
made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder
in
an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and
(2)
the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand
payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon receipt by such party of
written notice from the Servicer that such Permitted Investment would not
constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit
in
the Investment Account.
(b) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject
to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.09. The Servicer shall deposit
in
the Collection Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such
Permitted Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon
realization of such loss. All earnings and gain realized from the investment
of
funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the
Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall remit from its own funds for deposit
into the Distribution Account the amount of any loss incurred on Permitted
Investments in the Distribution Account.
(c) Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the
making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs
in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee
may and, subject to Section 9.01 and Section 9.02(a)(v), shall, at the written
direction of the Servicer, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce
such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of
appropriate proceedings.
(d) The
Trustee, the Master Servicer or their respective Affiliates are permitted to
receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee’s or
the Master Servicer’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment
adviser, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian
with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates
to
effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting
transactions in certain Permitted Investments. Such compensation shall not
be
considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable to the Trustee or the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 or 3.10 or otherwise payable in respect
of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses. Such additional compensation shall not
be
an expense of the Trust Fund.
SECTION
3.11. Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance, Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage and Primary
Mortgage Insurance.
131
(a) The
terms
of each Mortgage Note require the related Mortgagor to maintain fire, flood
and
hazard insurance policies. To the extent such policies are not maintained,
the
Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgaged Property fire and
hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the
Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser
of the current principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and the amount
necessary to compensate fully for any damage or loss to the improvements which
are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis, in each case in an
amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of
any
coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The
Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire and hazard insurance on each
REO
Property with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged
Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i)
the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such
property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage
Loan
(including, with respect to each second lien mortgage loan, the outstanding
principal balance of the related first lien) at the time it became an REO
Property, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary
to
avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard
insurance policy. The Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement
with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard
policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Servicer under any such policies
(other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property
subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor
in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, subject to the terms and
conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in
the
Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.09, if received
in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 3.21, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost
incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the
purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the
unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that
the
terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no
earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor
other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any
time
be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged
Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy
in
respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser
of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the
maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property
under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which
such
Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program), in each case
in
an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application
of
any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance
policy.
In
the
event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an
insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating
Guide or otherwise acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or Freddie Mac insuring against
hazard losses on all of the related Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be
deemed to have satisfied its obligations to cause fire and hazard insurance
to
be maintained on the Mortgaged Properties, it being understood and agreed that
such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall,
in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property a policy complying with this Section 3.11, and there
shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy,
deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise
payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In
connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the related
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself,
the Trustee, the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders, claims under any such
blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such
policy.
132
(b) The
Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or
policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the
performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement, which policy
or
policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements
of
▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or Freddie Mac if it were the purchaser of the related Mortgage
Loans, unless the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from
▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond
in
the form and amount that would meet the requirements of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or Freddie
Mac, unless the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇ or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this
provision if an Affiliate of the Servicer, has such errors and omissions and
fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity
bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors
and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable
without thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee.
(c) The
Servicer shall not take any action that would result in noncoverage under any
applicable primary mortgage insurance policy of any loss which, but for the
actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. The Servicer shall
use its best efforts to keep in force and effect any applicable primary mortgage
insurance policy and, to the extent that the related Mortgage Loan requires
the
Mortgagor to maintain such insurance, any other primary mortgage insurance
applicable to any Mortgage Loan. Except as required by applicable law or the
related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to
renew any such primary mortgage insurance policy that is in effect at the date
of the initial issuance of the related Mortgage Note and is required to be
kept
in force hereunder.
The
Servicer agrees to present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders
claims to the applicable 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 3.08 of this Agreement, any
amounts collected by the Servicer under any primary mortgage insurance policies
shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant
to
Section 3.09 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary, the Servicer shall not have any responsibility with respect to a
primary mortgage insurance policy unless the Servicer has been made aware of
such policy, as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule or otherwise and have
been provided with adequate information to administer such policy.
(d) The
Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Master Servicer prior to releasing
any Insurance Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the restoration or
repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices. At a minimum, the Servicer shall comply with the following
conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance Proceeds in excess
of $10,000:
(i) the
Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent verification of completion
of
repairs and issuance of any required approvals with respect
thereto;
133
(ii) the
Servicer shall take all steps necessary to preserve the priority of the lien
of
the Mortgage, including, but not limited to requiring waivers with respect
to
mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens; and
(iii) pending
repairs or restoration, the Servicer shall place the Insurance Proceeds in
the
related Escrow Account, if any.
(e) The
Servicer agrees to present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders
claims to the applicable 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 3.08, any amounts collected by
the
Servicer under any primary mortgage insurance policies shall be deposited in
the
Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.09.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Servicer shall not have
any
responsibility with respect to a primary mortgage insurance policy unless the
Servicer has been made aware of such policy, as reflected on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule or otherwise and have been provided with adequate information to
administer such policy. The Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with
a
certificate of insurance of the fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy
upon request.
SECTION
3.12. Enforcement
of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
The
Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance of any related
Mortgaged Property by any related Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance
or
by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain
liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to
accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale” clause, if
any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise
any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Servicer reasonably
believes that it is unable under applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale”
clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso to the
preceding sentence apply, the Servicer shall enter into an assumption and
modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state
law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is also authorized
to
enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant
to
which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is
substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note,
provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person
satisfies the then current underwriting criteria of the Servicer for mortgage
loans similar to the related Mortgage Loans. In connection with any assumption
or substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow
such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general
mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned
solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and
modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued
effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected
by
the Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In
connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
(including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the
Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required
pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee (or the
Custodian) that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed
by forwarding to the Trustee (or the Custodian) the executed original of such
substitution or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the
related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of
such
Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof.
134
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer
shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by
operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which
the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatever.
For purposes of this Section 3.12, the term “assumption” is deemed to also
include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage that is
not
accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
SECTION
3.13. Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The
Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with Accepted
Servicing Practices, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the
ownership of 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 pursuant to Section 3.06. The Servicer shall
be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such
proceedings; provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable
as Servicing Advances by the Servicer as contemplated in Sections 3.09 and
3.21.
The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall
not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property
unless it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase
the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement
to
itself for such expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.13 or any other provision of this
Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has
received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any
toxic
or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall
not, on behalf of the Trust Fund, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged
Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii)
otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to,
such
Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trust Fund, the
Trustee or the Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to
be a
“mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such
Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time,
or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously determined,
based
on its reasonable judgment and a prudent report prepared by an Independent
Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry
standards, that:
135
(1) such
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or,
if
not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take
such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
therewith; and
(2) there
are
no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use,
management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials,
hazardous wastes or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any
federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are
present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to the
affected Mortgaged Property.
The
cost
of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.13 shall be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.09(a)(ix), such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans serviced by the Servicer.
If
the
Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any
such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws,
or
to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation
of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take
such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund.
The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall
be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Sections 3.09(a)(iii) or
3.09(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received
in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans serviced by the
Servicer.
(c) The
Servicer shall have the right to purchase from REMIC I any defaulted Mortgage
Loan serviced by it that is 90 days or more delinquent, which the Servicer
determines in good faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure
proceedings (evidence of such determination to be delivered in writing to the
Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Servicer and the Trustee
prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price
for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection
Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the
Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to the Servicer
the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse,
representation or warranty, as the Servicer shall furnish and as shall be
necessary to vest in the Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto.
(d) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the
following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer for any related
unreimbursed P&I Advances and Servicing Advances, pursuant to Section
3.09(a)(ii) or (a)(iii); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage
Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior
to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not
in
connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and third, as a recovery of
principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated
to
interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on
such
Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be allocated by the Servicer
as
follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to the balance of the
interest then due and owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid
Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.09(a)(iii). The portion of the recovery allocated to interest (net of unpaid
Servicing Fees) and the portion of the recovery allocated to principal of the
Mortgage Loan shall be applied as follows: first, to reimburse the Servicer
for
any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances or P&I Advances in accordance
with Section 3.09(a)(ii) and any other amounts reimbursable to the Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.09, and second, as part of the amounts to be transferred
to the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.08(b). Excess proceeds,
if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be retained
by
the Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section
3.15.
136
SECTION
3.14. Trustee
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon
becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt
by
the Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the
next
Distribution Date, the Servicer will promptly furnish to the Custodian, on
behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a request for release substantially in
the
form attached to the Custodial Agreement signed by a Servicing Officer or in
a
mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on
its
face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include
a
statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such
payment that are required to be deposited in the Collection Account have been
or
will be so deposited) and shall request that the Custodian, on behalf of the
Trustee, deliver to the Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of
such
certification and request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall within
five (5) Business Days release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer and
the
Trustee and the Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard
to
such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the Servicer is authorized,
to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that
secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of
mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the
Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be,
shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt
therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses
incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment,
as
the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Collection Account, unless it shall
represent a Servicing Advance.
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and
furnished to the Trustee by Countrywide or New Century (in form reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such
proceedings. The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon the request
of
the related Servicer, and delivery to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,
of two copies of a request for release signed by a Servicing Officer
substantially in the form attached to the Custodial Agreement (or in a mutually
agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face,
originate from a Servicing Officer), release within five (5) Business Days
the
related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the related Servicer.
Such trust receipt shall obligate the related Servicer to return the Mortgage
File to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, when the need therefor by the
related Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated,
in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar
to
that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the related Servicer.
137
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in connection with a Principal Prepayment in full of any Mortgage
Loan, the Master Servicer may request release of the related Mortgage File
from
the Custodian, in accordance with the provisions of the Custodial Agreement,
in
the event the related Servicer fails to do so.
Upon
written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the related Servicer, any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s
sale or other documents prepared and delivered to the Trustee and reasonably
acceptable to it and necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect
of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment
against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency
judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such
certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be
executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or
pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except
for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or
trustee’s sale. So long as no Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the related Servicer shall have the right to execute any and
all
such court pleadings, requests and other documents as attorney-in-fact for,
and
on behalf of the Trustee. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Trustee
shall in no way be liable or responsible for the willful malfeasance of any
Servicer, or for any wrongful or negligent actions taken by such Servicer,
while
such Servicer is acting in its capacity as attorney in fact for and on behalf
of
the Trustee.
SECTION
3.15. Servicing
Compensation.
As
compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to
the
Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments
of
interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.22. In
addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out
of
Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by
Section 3.09(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale
of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.21. The right to
receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except
in
connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement to the extent permitted herein.
Additional
servicing compensation in the form of Ancillary Income (other than Prepayment
Charges) shall be retained by the Servicer only to the extent such fees or
charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled
pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account and
pursuant to Section 3.21(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional
servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein,
subject to Section 3.10. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to
retain or withdraw from the Collection Account, pursuant to
Section 3.09(a)(x), any Prepayment Interest Excess with respect to the
Mortgage Loans serviced by it as additional servicing compensation. The Servicer
shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its
servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as specifically provided herein.
138
SECTION
3.16. Collection
Account Statements.
Upon
request, not later than fifteen (15) days after each Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall forward to the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator,
the Trustee and the Depositor, a statement prepared by the institution at which
the Collection Account is maintained setting forth the status of the Collection
Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date and showing,
for
the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into
and
withdrawals from the Collection Account. Copies of such statement and any
similar statements provided by the Servicer shall be provided by the Securities
Administrator to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the
Securities Administrator as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon
request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is
delivered by the Servicer to the Securities Administrator.
SECTION
3.17. Annual
Statement as to Compliance.
The
Servicer shall deliver (and shall cause any Servicing Function Participant
engaged by it to deliver) to the Master Servicer and to the Depositor on or
before March 5 of each year, commencing in March 2007, an Officer’s Certificate
(an “Annual Statement of Compliance”) stating, as to the signer thereof, that
(A) a review of such party’s activities during the immediately preceding
calendar year or applicable portion thereof and of the Servicer’s performance
under this Agreement or such other applicable agreement in the case of a
Servicing Function Participant, has been made under such officer’s supervision
and (B) to the best of such officer’s knowledge or such other applicable
agreement in the case of a Servicing Function Participant, based on such review,
such party has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement, in all
material respects throughout such year or portion thereof, or, if there has
been
a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying
each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.
Promptly after receipt of each such Officer’s Certificate from the Servicer, any
Servicing Function Participant engaged by the Servicer, the Depositor shall
review such Officer’s Certificate and, if applicable, consult with each such
party, as applicable, as to the nature of any failures by such party, in the
fulfillment of any of the Servicer’s obligations hereunder or, in the case of a
Servicing Function Participant, under such other applicable
agreement.
139
SECTION
3.18. Assessments
of Compliance and Attestation Reports.
(a) On
or
before March 5 of each calendar year, commencing in 2007, the Servicer
shall:
(i) deliver
to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a report regarding the Servicer’s
assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria during the
immediately preceding calendar year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18
of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be
addressed to the Master Servicer and the Depositor and signed by an authorized
officer of the Servicer, and shall address each of the applicable Relevant
Servicing Criteria (wherein
“investor” shall mean the Master Servicer).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Servicer nor any Servicing Function
Participant engaged by the Servicer shall be required to deliver any assessments
until March 31st in any given year so long as it has not received written
confirmation from the Depositor that a Form 10-K is required to be filed in
respect of the Trust for the preceding calendar year; provided however that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, no Subcontractor will be required to deliver
any
assessments in any given year in which the Form 10-K is not required to be
filed;
(ii) deliver
to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a report of a registered public
accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the assessment of compliance
made by the Servicer and delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph. Such
attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of
Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither Servicer nor any Servicing Function Participant engaged
by the Servicer shall be required to deliver or cause the delivery of such
reports until March 31st in any given year so long as the Servicer has received
written confirmation from the Depositor that a Form 10-K is not required to
be
filed in respect of the Trust for the preceding fiscal year provided however
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Subcontractor will be required to
deliver any reports in any given year in which the Form 10-K is not required
to
be filed; and
(iii) if
required by Regulation AB, cause each Sub-Servicer and each Subcontractor
determined by the Servicer to be a Servicing Function Participant, to deliver
to
the Master Servicer and the Depositor an assessment of compliance and
accountants’ attestation as and when provided in subsections (a) and (b) of this
Section 3.18.
(b) Each
assessment of compliance provided by a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section
3.18(a)(i) shall address each of the applicable Relevant Servicing Criteria
(wherein “investor” shall mean the Master Servicer) delivered to the Master
Servicer concurrently with the execution of this Agreement or, in the case
of a
Sub-Servicer subsequently appointed as such, on or prior to the date of such
appointment. An assessment of compliance provided by a Servicing Function
Participant pursuant to Section 3.18(a)(iii) need not address any elements
of
the Relevant Servicing Criteria other than those specified by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.02.
140
If
reasonably requested by the Master Servicer, the Servicer shall provide to
the
Master Servicer, evidence of the authorization of the person signing the
certificate or statement provided pursuant to Sections 3.17, 3.18 or 3.19(a)
of
this Agreement.

by way of clarification,
that
clause (2) of this paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the
Servicer Information and not to any other information communicated in connection
with a sale or purchase of securities, without regard to whether the Servicer
Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or separately
from
such other information;
(B) any
failure by the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Servicing

In

for three Business Days after receipt by the Servicer and the applicable
Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor, of written notice of such failure from the Master
Servicer or Depositor shall, except as provided in clause (B) of this paragraph,
constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Servicer under this
Agreement, and shall entitle the Master Servicer or Depositor, as applicable,
in
its sole discretion to terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer
as
servicer under this Agreement and/or any applicable Reconstitution Agreement
related thereto without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
related thereto to the contrary) of any compensation to the Servicer (and
appoint a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer);
provided,
however,
it is
understood that the Servicer shall remain entitled to receive reimbursement

all unreimbursed Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances made by the Servicer
under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
to the extent that any provision of this Agreement expressly provides for the
survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of the Servicer
as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.
(B) Any
failure by the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Servicing Function Participant

as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.
142
(C) The
Servicer shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the Depositor, as
applicable, for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Master Servicer (or
such
designee) or the Depositor as such are incurred, in connection with the
termination of the Servicer as servicer and the transfer of servicing of the
Mortgage Loans to a successor servicer. The provisions of this paragraph shall
not limit whatever rights the Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Depositor
may
have under other provisions of this Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity
or
at law, such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive
relief.
(c) The
Trust
will indemnify and hold harmless Countrywide, New Century, any Sub-Servicer,

untrue statement, omission, or alleged omission relates to any filing with
the
Commission other than the Servicer Information.
(d) If
the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless the indemnified party, then the indemnifying party agrees that it
shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such indemnified
party
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such
indemnified party on the one hand and the indemnifying party on the
other.

144
SECTION
3.20. Access
to
Certain Documentation.
The
Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC, and any
other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may
exercise authority over any Certificate Owner, access to the documentation
regarding the related Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and
regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon
reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the
Servicer designated by it. Nothing in this Section 3.20 shall limit the
obligation of the Servicer to comply with any applicable law prohibiting
disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the
Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such
obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this
Section 3.20 shall require the Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise
generate any information that it does not generate in its usual course of
business. The Servicer shall not be required to make copies of or ship documents
to any Person unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement of the
costs thereof.
SECTION
3.21. Title,
Management and Disposition of REO Property.
(a) The
deed
or certificate of sale of any REO Property related to a Mortgage Loan shall
be
taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, on behalf of the Trust Fund
and for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Servicer, on behalf of REMIC
I, shall either sell any REO Property by the close of the third calendar year
following the calendar year in which REMIC I acquires ownership of such REO
Property for purposes of Section 860(a)(8) of the Code or request from the
Internal Revenue Service, no later than sixty (60) days before the day on which
the three-year grace period would otherwise expire an extension of the
three-year grace period, unless the Servicer had delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the effect
that the holding by REMIC I of such REO Property subsequent to three (3) years
after its acquisition will not result in the imposition on any Trust REMIC
created hereunder of taxes on “prohibited transactions” thereof, as defined in
Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify
as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property
for
the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and
sale
in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
“foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC created hereunder of any “income from
non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code,
or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under
the REMIC Provisions.
(b) The
Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection
with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds
and
general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to REO Properties
an account held in trust for the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and for
the benefit of the Certificateholders (the “REO Account”), which shall be an
Eligible Account. The Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection
Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to the maintenance of separate
ledgers for each REO Property. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain or
withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited in the related REO
Account.
145
(c) The
Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific
requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in
connection with any REO Property related to a Mortgage Loan serviced by it
as
are consistent with the manner in which the Servicer manages and operates
similar property owned by it or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and
for
such period as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of
Certificateholders. In connection therewith, the Servicer shall deposit, or
cause to be deposited in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits
payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage
loan
servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one (1)
Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit
in the REO Account in no event more than two (2) Business Days after the deposit
of good funds into the clearing account, all revenues received by it with
respect to an REO Property related to a Mortgage Loan serviced by it and shall
withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and
maintenance of such REO Property including, without limitation:
(i) all
insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;
(ii) all
real
estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result
in
the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all
costs
and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.
To
the
extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO
Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through
(iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance from
its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if,
the
Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the REO Property and
if
in the Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from
the rental or sale of the REO Property.
Subject
to compliance with applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be
in
force, and notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer, on behalf of the Trust
Fund, shall not:
(iv) enter
into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the
New
Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents
from Real Property;
(v) permit
any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts
that
will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(vi) authorize
or permit any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of
a
building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent
of
the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before
default on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning
of
Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
146
(vii) allow
any
Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than ninety (90)
days after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund;
unless,
in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel, provided
to
the Servicer and the Trustee, to the effect that such action will not cause
such
REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by REMIC I, in which
case the Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of
Counsel.
The
Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and
management of any REO Property, provided that:
(viii) the
terms
and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent
herewith;
(ix) any
such
contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the
Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above
and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer
as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following
the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(x) none
of
the provisions of this Section 3.21(c) relating to any such contract or to
actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve
the Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf
of
the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to
the
operation and management of any such REO Property; and
(xi) the
Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it
alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the
operation and management of such REO Property.
The
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent
Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations
hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such Independent Contractor,
and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it
to
any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s
compensation pursuant to Section 3.15 is sufficient to pay such fees. Any such
agreement shall include a provision that such agreement may be immediately
terminated by any successor Servicer without fee, in the event the Servicer
shall for any reason, no longer be the Servicer of the Mortgage Loans (including
termination due to the Servicer Event of Default).
(d) In
addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.21(c), the Servicer may
from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property:
(i) to pay itself unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage
Loan;
and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing
Advances and other advances made in respect of such REO Property or the related
Mortgage Loan. On the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw
from
each REO Account and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance with
Section 3.08(d)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 5.01, the income from the related REO Property received
during the prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section
3.21(c) or this Section 3.21(d).
147
(e) Subject
to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.21(a), each REO Disposition
shall
be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions
as the Servicer shall deem necessary or advisable, as shall be normal and usual
in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.
(f) The
proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be
remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any payment
or reimbursement to the Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the
Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.08(d)(ii) on the Servicer
Remittance Date in the month following the receipt thereof for distribution
on
the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 5.01. Any REO
Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions
made
subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other
consideration).
(g) The
Servicer shall file information returns (and shall provide a certification
of a
Servicing Officer to the Master Servicer that such filings have been made)
with
respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business,
reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and
cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property
as
required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such
reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting
requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the
Code.
SECTION
3.22. Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls; Relief Act
Interest Shortfalls.
The
Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit into the
Distribution Account on the Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of the Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls attributable to prepayments in full on the related Mortgage
Loans for the related Distribution Date resulting solely from voluntary
Principal Prepayments received by the Servicer during the portion of the related
Prepayment Period occurring between the sixteenth (16th)
day of
the month preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs
and
ending on the last day of such month and (ii) the aggregate amount of the
related Servicing Fees payable to Servicer on such Distribution Date with
respect to the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall not have the right
to
reimbursement for any amounts remitted to the Securities Administrator in
respect of this Section 3.22. The Servicer shall not be obligated to pay
the amounts set forth in this Section 3.22 with respect to shortfalls
resulting from the application of the Relief Act.
148
SECTION
3.23. Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Mortgage Rates and Monthly Payments.
In
the
event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to any
Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to Mortgage Rates,
Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer
in
a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this
Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof,
immediately shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Depositor and any successor servicer
in
respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination
or
discharge of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Section 3.23 shall not limit the ability of the Servicer to seek recovery
of any such amounts from the related Mortgagor under the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and Mortgage, to the extent permitted by applicable
law.
SECTION
3.24. Reserve
Fund.
(a) No
later
than the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain
a separate, segregated trust account entitled, “Reserve Fund, ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank,
N.A., in trust for the registered holders of ACE Securities Corp. Home Equity
Loan Trust, Series 2006-NC3, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates.” On the
Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the
Reserve Fund $1,000.
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall deposit into the Reserve
Fund the amounts described in Section 5.01(c)(8)(vi), rather than
distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders pursuant to
Section 5.01(c)(8)(viii). On each such Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of
the
Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates and will distribute such
amounts to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates, in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 5.01(c).
If no Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts are payable on a Distribution Date, the
Securities Administrator shall deposit, into the Reserve Fund on behalf of
the
Class CE Certificateholders, from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class
CE Certificateholders, an amount such that when added to other amounts already
on deposit in the Reserve Fund, the aggregate amount on deposit therein is
equal
to $1,000.
(c) It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state
and
local franchise tax purposes, the Reserve Fund be disregarded as an entity
separate from the Holder of the Class CE Certificates unless and until the
date
when either (a) there is more than one Class CE Certificateholder or (b) any
Class of Certificates in addition to the Class CE Certificates is
recharacterized as an equity interest in the Reserve Fund for federal income
tax
purposes, in which case it is the intention of the parties hereto that, for
federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Reserve
Fund be treated as a partnership. The Master Servicer shall not be required
to
prepare and file partnership tax returns in respect of such partnership unless
it receives additional reasonable compensation (not to exceed $10,000 per year)
for the preparation of such filings, written notification recognizing the
creation of a partnership agreement or comparable documentation evidencing
the
partnership. All amounts deposited into the Reserve Fund (other than the initial
deposit therein of $1,) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC III
to
the Holders of the Class CE Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust
Fund, or the payment in full of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Reserve Fund will be
released by the Trust Fund and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders
or
their designees. The Reserve Fund constitutes an “outside reserve fund” within
the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.860G-2(h). The Reserve Fund will be part
of the Trust Fund but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders
of
the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amounts will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC
within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
149
(d) By
accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder hereby agrees
that the Securities Administrator will deposit into the Reserve Fund the amounts
described above on each Distribution Date rather than distributing such amounts
to the Class CE Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each
Class CE Certificateholder further agrees that its agreement to such action
by
the Securities Administrator is given for good and valuable consideration,
the
receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such
acceptance.
(e) At
the
direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class
CE
Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall direct any Depository
Institution maintaining the Reserve Fund to invest the funds in such account
in
one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and
maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the
Securities Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment,
and
(ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Securities Administrator
or
an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. All income and gain earned
upon
such investment shall be deposited into the Reserve Fund. In no event shall
the
Securities Administrator be liable for any investments made pursuant to this
clause (e). If the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class
CE
Certificates fail to provide investment instructions, funds on deposit in the
Reserve Fund shall be held uninvested by the Securities Administrator without
liability for interest or compensation.
(f) For
federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the holders of the
Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates to receive payments from
the
Reserve Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of any Net WAC
Rate
Carryover Amount shall be assigned a value of $2,407,686.
SECTION
3.25. Advance
Facility.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Servicer is hereby authorized
to enter into an advance facility (“Advance Facility”) but no more than two
Advance Facilities, without the prior written consent of the Trustee, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, under which (A) the Servicer sells,
assigns or pledges to an advancing person (an “Advance Financing Person”) its
rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any P&I Advances or
Servicing Advances and/or (B) an Advance Financing Person agrees to finance
some
or all P&I Advances or Servicing Advances required to be made by the
Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Servicer is hereby authorized
to assign its rights to the Servicing Fee (which rights shall terminate upon
the
resignation, termination or removal of the Servicer pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement); it being understood that neither the Trust Fund nor any party
hereto shall have a right or claim (including without limitation any right
of
offset) to any amounts for reimbursement of P&I Advances or Servicing
Advances so assigned or to the portion of the Servicing Fee so assigned. Subject
to the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 3.25(a), no consent
of
the Depositor, Trustee, Master Servicer, Certificateholders or any other party
is required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility, but the
Servicer shall provide notice to the Depositor, Master Servicer and the Trustee
of the existence of any such Advance Facility promptly upon the consummation
thereof stating (a) the identity of the Advance Financing Person and (b) the
identity of any Person (“Servicer’s Assignee”) who has the right to receive
amounts in reimbursement of previously unreimbursed P&I Advances or
Servicing Advances. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under
which an advancing person agrees to finance P&I Advances and/or Servicing
Advances on the Servicer’s behalf, the Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant
to this Agreement to make P&I Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to
and as required by this Agreement, and shall not be relieved of such obligations
by virtue of such Advance Facility.
150
(b) Reimbursement
amounts (“Advance Reimbursement Amounts”) shall consist solely of amounts in
respect of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances made with respect to the
related Mortgage Loans for which the Servicer would be permitted to reimburse
itself in accordance with this Agreement, assuming the Servicer had made the
related P&I Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s).
(c) The
Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer (with, upon
request, a copy to the Trustee) a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis
as
to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advance
Financing Person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such
information provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the successor Servicer
shall not be liable for any errors in such information.
(d) Reimbursement
amounts distributed with respect to each Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to
outstanding unreimbursed P&I Advances or Servicing Advances (as the case may
be) made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a “first-in, first out” (FIFO)
basis. The documentation establishing any Advance Facility shall require the
Servicer to provide to the related Advance Financing Person or its designee
loan-by-loan information with respect to each such reimbursement amount
distributed to such Advance Financing Person or Advance Facility trustee on
each
Distribution Date, to enable the Advance Financing Person or Advance Facility
trustee to make the FIFO allocation of each such reimbursement amount with
respect to each Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall remain entitled to be
reimbursed by the Advance Financing Person or Advance Facility trustee for
all
P&I Advances and Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the
related rights to be reimbursed therefor have not been sold, assigned or pledged
to an Advance Financing Person.
(e) Any
amendment to this Section 3.25 or to any other provision of this Agreement
that
may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility
as
described generally in this Section 3.25, including amendments to add provisions
relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the
Depositor, and the Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, provided, that
the
Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment is
authorized hereunder and has no material adverse effect on the
Certificateholders, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting
such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the
Trust
Fund; provided, further, that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders if the
Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency
(instead of obtaining an Opinion of Counsel to such effect) stating that the
amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective
ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it being understood and agreed that
any such rating letter in and of itself will not represent a determination
as to
the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a determination only
as
to the credit issues affecting any such rating. Prior to entering into an
Advance Facility, the Servicer shall notify the lender under such facility
in
writing that: (a) the P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by
and/or pledged to the lender are obligations owed to the Servicer on a
non-recourse basis payable only from the cash flows and proceeds received under
this Agreement for reimbursement of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances
only to the extent provided herein, and neither the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, the Trustee nor the Trust are otherwise obligated
or
liable to repay any P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by the
lender; (b) the Servicer will be responsible for remitting to the lender the
applicable amounts collected by it as Servicing Fees and as reimbursement for
P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded by the lender, as applicable,
subject to the restrictions and priorities created in this Agreement; and (c)
neither the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall
have any responsibility to calculate any amount payable under an Advance
Facility or to track or monitor the administration of the financing arrangement
between the Servicer and the lender or the payment of any amount under an
Advance Facility.
151
(f) The
Servicer shall indemnify the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator,
the
Trustee and the Trust Fund for any cost, liability or expense relating to the
Advance Facility including, without limitation, a claim, pending or threatened,
by an Advance Financing Person.
SECTION
3.26. Indemnification.
The
Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee, Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator, from, and hold the Trustee, Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including
reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by any such Person by reason
of the Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of the Servicer’s
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. Such
indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement and
the
resignation or removal of the Servicer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and
the
Securities Administrator. Any payment hereunder made by the Servicer to any
such
Person shall be from the Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement from REMIC
I therefor.
152
SECTION
3.27. Additional
Representations and Warranties.
(a) The
Servicer shall be deemed to represent to the Master Servicer and to the
Depositor, as of the date on which information is first provided to the Master
Servicer or the Depositor under Section 3.19(f) that, except as disclosed in
writing to the Master Servicer or such Depositor prior to such date:
(i)
the Servicer is not aware and has not received notice that any default, early
amortization or other performance triggering event has occurred as to any other
securitization due to any act or failure to act of the Servicer; (ii)
the
Servicer has not been terminated as servicer in a residential mortgage loan
securitization, either due to a servicing default or to application of a
servicing performance test or trigger; (iii) no
material noncompliance
with the applicable servicing criteria with respect to other securitizations
of
residential mortgage loans involving the Servicer as servicer
has been disclosed or reported by the Servicer; (iv) no material
changes to the Servicer’s policies or procedures with respect to the servicing
function it will perform under this Agreement for mortgage loans of a type
similar to the Mortgage Loans
have occurred during the three-year period immediately preceding the Closing
Date; (v) there are no aspects of the Servicer’s financial condition that could
have a material adverse effect on the performance by the
Servicer of its servicing obligations under this Agreement;
and (vi) there are no material
legal or governmental proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against
the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer.
(b) If
so requested by the Master Servicer or the Depositor on any date following
the
date
on which information is first provided to the Master Servicer or the Depositor
under Section 3.19(f),
the Servicer shall, within ten Business Days following such request, confirm
in
writing the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in
subsection (a) of this Section or, if any such representation and warranty
is not accurate as of the date of such request, provide reasonably adequate
disclosure of the pertinent facts, in writing, to the requesting
party.

ARTICLE
IV
ADMINISTRATION
AND MASTER SERVICING
OF
THE
MORTGAGE LOANS BY THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION
4.01. Master
Servicer.
The
Master Servicer shall, from and after the Closing Date supervise, monitor and
oversee the obligations of the Servicers under this Agreement and the Servicing
Agreement, as applicable, to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement,
as
applicable, 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
the
Servicers as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s
obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports,
information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicers
and
shall cause the Servicers to perform and observe the covenants, obligations
and
conditions to be performed or observed by the Servicer under this Agreement
and
the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall independently
and separately monitor each Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each
Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information
provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective
adjustments to the related Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s records, and based
on such reconciled and corrected information, prepare the statements specified
in Section 5.03 and any other information and statements required to be provided
by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the
results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of each
Servicer to the Distribution Account pursuant to the terms hereof based on
information provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicers.
The
Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with any limited
powers of attorney and other documents in form acceptable to it necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicers and the Master Servicer to service and
administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. The Trustee shall
have
no responsibility for any action of the Master Servicer or the Servicers
pursuant to any such limited power of attorney and shall be indemnified by
the
Master Servicer or the related Servicer, as applicable, for any cost, liability
or expense incurred by the Trustee in connection with such Person’s misuse of
any such power of attorney.
The
Trustee, the Custodian and the Securities Administrator shall provide access
to
the records and documentation in possession of the Trustee, the Custodian or
the
Securities Administrator regarding the Mortgage Loans and REO Property and
the
servicing thereof to the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory
agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon
reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the office
of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Securities Administrator; provided,
however, that, unless otherwise required by law, none of the Trustee, the
Custodian or the Securities Administrator shall be required to provide access
to
such records and documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal
right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Trustee, the Custodian and the Securities
Administrator shall allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy
any
of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose
at
a charge that covers the Trustee’s, the Custodian’s or the Securities
Administrator’s actual costs.
154
The
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the related Servicer or the Master Servicer
upon request any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents
necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee’s sale with respect to
a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain judgment against
any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or any other Mortgage Loan Document; (iii)
obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other
rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or any other Mortgage Loan
Document or otherwise available at law or equity.
SECTION
4.02. REMIC-Related
Covenants.
For
as
long as each REMIC shall exist, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator
shall act in accordance herewith to treat such REMIC as a REMIC, and the Trustee
and the Securities Administrator shall comply with any directions of the
Sponsor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer to assure such continuing
treatment. In particular, the Trustee shall not (a) sell or permit the sale
of
all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of deposits in
an
Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans
pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC Opinion prepared
at the expense of the Trust Fund; and (b) other than with respect to a
substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or
Section 2.03 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to
any REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of an Opinion of Counsel stating
that such contribution will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event as defined
in
Section 11.01(f).
SECTION
4.03. Monitoring
of Servicer.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall be responsible for monitoring the compliance by each
Servicer with its duties under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as
applicable. In the review of the related Servicer’s activities, the Master
Servicer may rely upon an Officer’s Certificate of such Servicer with regard to
the related Servicer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement or the
Servicing Agreement, as applicable. In the event that the Master Servicer,
in
its judgment, determines that Servicer should be terminated in accordance with
the terms hereof, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the terms hereof
or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, with respect to the occurrence of
an
event that, unless cured, would constitute the Servicer Event of Default, the
Master Servicer shall notify the related Servicer, the Sponsor and the Trustee
thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other
action as it deems appropriate.
(b) The
Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders,
shall enforce the obligations of the Servicers under this Agreement or the
Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and shall, in the event that the Servicer
fails to perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement, subject
to
this Section and Article VIII, notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall
terminate the rights and obligations of the related Servicer hereunder or under
the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of
Article VIII. In the event the rights and obligations of a Servicer (or any
successor thereto) are terminated, the Master Servicer shall act as servicer
of
the related Mortgage Loans or a successor servicer shall be appointed in
accordance with the provisions of Article VIII or in accordance with the terms
of the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. Such enforcement, including, without
limitation, the legal prosecution of claims 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 at its own expense, 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

(or
from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account if such Servicer is unable
to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all reasonable out-of-pocket or third
party costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the predecessor
Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Master Servicer, from the
Servicer immediately preceding the Master Servicer), including without
limitation, any reasonable out-of-pocket or third party costs or expenses
associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion,
correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the

Servicer.
SECTION

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
4.05. Power
to
Act; Procedures.
The
Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full
power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of
Article XI, 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; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall
not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under Section 4.03, shall not
permit any Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail
to
take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control
and
the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC
Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would cause REMIC I,
REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition
of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the
Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense
of
the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action will not cause
REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the
imposition of a tax upon REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, as the case may be.
The
Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing
Officer, with any powers of attorney prepared and delivered to it and reasonably
acceptable to it by empowering the Master Servicer or the related 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
this Agreement and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents
prepared and delivered to it and reasonably acceptable to it, as the Master
Servicer, the related Servicer may request, 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 by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer and shall be indemnified
by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, as applicable, for any cost,
liability or expense incurred by the Trustee in connection with such Person’s
use or misuse of any such power of attorney). 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, the Master Servicer
shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to
Section 9.10. 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.

Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
To
the
extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master
Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance
with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. If applicable
law
prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise
not enforced in accordance with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement,
as
applicable, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original
Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with this
Agreement.
157

Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer To Be Held for
Trustee.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee or the Custodian such documents

the
Custodian. Any funds received by the Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage
Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer as Liquidation
Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be remitted
to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account. The
Master Servicer shall, and, subject to Section 3.20 of this Agreement and
corresponding provision of the Servicing Agreement, shall cause the related
Servicer to provide access to information and documentation regarding the
related Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, its agents and accountants at any time
upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to
Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance
companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents
and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal
or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable
regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority,
such access to 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 remitted to the Securities Administrator for deposit in
the
Distribution Account.
SECTION
4.08. Standard
Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance Policies.
For
each
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the Servicers
under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, to maintain
or
cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and, where
applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or the requirements of the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. It
is
understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the
eligibility requirements set forth in Section 3.11 of this Agreement and that
no
earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor
or
to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a defaulted loan, other
than
pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in
force and as shall require such additional insurance.
SECTION
4.09. Presentment
of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.
The
Master Servicer shall enforce the related Servicer’s obligations under this
Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, to prepare and present
on
behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under any insurance
policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement,
compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to
realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master
Servicer (or disbursed to the related Servicer and remitted to the Master
Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly
deposited in the Distribution 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.
158
SECTION
4.10. Maintenance
of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall not take, or permit the Servicers to take (to the extent
such action is prohibited by this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as
applicable), any action that would result in noncoverage under any primary
mortgage insurance policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master
Servicer, the related Servicer would have been covered thereunder. The Master
Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause the related Servicer
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 serviced by such Servicer in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer
shall not, and shall not permit a Servicer to, cancel or refuse to renew any
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 or the Servicing
Agreement, as applicable.
(b) The
Master Servicer agrees to cause the Servicers 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.
SECTION
4.11. Trustee
to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and Documents.
The
Trustee or the Custodian, shall retain possession and custody of the originals
(to the extent available) of any primary mortgage insurance policies, or
certificate 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 Certificates have
been distributed in full and the Master Servicer and the related Servicer have
otherwise fulfilled their respective obligations under this Agreement or the
Servicing Agreement, as applicable, the Trustee or the Custodian shall also
retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance with and
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Custodial
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Trustee or the Custodian, upon the execution or receipt thereof the
originals of any primary mortgage insurance policies, any certificates of
renewal, and such other documents or instruments that constitute Mortgage Loan
Documents that come into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to
time.
159
SECTION
4.12. Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The
Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers 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 this Agreement.
SECTION
4.13. Compensation
for the Master Servicer.
As
compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to the Master Servicing Fee and the income from
investment of or earnings on the funds from time to time in the Distribution
Account, as provided in Section 3.10. The compensation payable to the
Master Servicer in respect of any Distribution Date shall be reduced in
accordance with Section 4.19. 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

Property.
(a) In
the
event the Trust Fund 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 cause the Servicers to sell, any REO Property as expeditiously
as
possible and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the
Servicing Agreement, as applicable. Further, the Master Servicer shall cause
the
Servicers to sell any REO Property prior to three years after the end of the
calendar year of its acquisition by REMIC I unless (i) the Trustee shall have
been supplied by the related Servicer with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to such
three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited
transactions” of any REMIC hereunder as defined in section 860F of the Code or
cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to
hold
such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion
of
Counsel) or (ii) the related Servicer shall have applied for, prior to the
expiration of such three-year period, an extension of such three-year period
in
the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the
three-year period shall be extended by the applicable extension period. The
Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers to protect and conserve, such REO
Property in the manner and to the extent required by this Agreement or the
Servicing Agreement, as applicable, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions
and
in a manner that does not result in a tax on “net income from foreclosure
property” or cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure
property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers to deposit all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in the related
REO
Account.

Section 4.15(c) or to such other applicable agreement, as the case may be,

Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer
for the same. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this
Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
(e) Copies
of
such Master Servicer annual statements of compliance 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

render other services to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator,
or
such other Servicing Function Participants, as the case may be) and that is

an
attestation report to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the
effect that (i) it has obtained a representation regarding certain matters
from
the management of such party, which includes an assertion that such party has
complied with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, and (ii) on the basis of an
examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for attestation
engagements issued or adopted by the PCAOB, it is expressing an opinion as
to
whether such party’s compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria was fairly
stated in all material respects, or it cannot express an overall opinion
regarding such party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing
Criteria. In the event that an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such
registered public accounting firm shall state in such report why it was unable
to express such an opinion. Such report must be available for general use and

Form
10-K required to be filed for the Trust pursuant to Section 5.06 shall include
a
certification (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇
Certification”)
required to be included therewith pursuant to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act. Each
of
the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall provide, and shall
cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to, provide to the Person
who signs the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Certification (the “Certifying
Person”),
by
March 15 of each year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act and otherwise within a reasonable period of
time upon request, a certification (each, a “Back-Up

upon
which the Certifying Person, the entity for which the Certifying Person acts
as
an officer, and such entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates (collectively
with the Certifying Person, “Certification
Parties”)
can
reasonably rely. The officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the master
servicing function shall serve as the senior Certifying Person on behalf of
the
Trust. Such officer of the Certifying Person can be contacted by e-mail at
▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ or by facsimile at ▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇. In the
event any such party or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such
party
is terminated, assigns its rights or duties under, or resigns pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, or any applicable sub-servicing agreement, as the
case
may be, such party shall provide a Back-Up Certification to the Certifying
Person pursuant to this Section 4.18 with respect to the period of time it
was
subject to this Agreement or any applicable sub-servicing agreement, as the
case
may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator shall not be required to deliver a Back-Up
Certification to each other if both are the same Person and the Master Servicer
is the Certifying Person and (ii) the Master Servicer shall not be obligated
to
sign the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Certification in the event that it does not receive
any
Back-Up Certification required to be furnished to it pursuant to this section.

of the Master Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls.
In
the
event of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, the Master Servicer shall deposit
into the Distribution Account not later than the related Distribution Date
an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amounts required to be paid
by
the related Servicer with respect to Prepayment Interest Shortfalls attributable
to Principal Prepayments in full on the Mortgage Loans for the related
Distribution Date, and not so paid by such Servicer and (ii) the aggregate
amount of the compensation payable to the Master Servicer for such Distribution
Date in accordance with Section 4.13, without reimbursement
therefor.
164
SECTION
4.20. Prepayment
Penalty Verification.
On
or
prior to each Servicer Remittance Date, Countrywide shall provide in an
electronic format acceptable to the Master Servicer the data necessary for
the
Master Servicer to perform its verification duties set forth in this Section
4.20. The Master Servicer or a third party reasonably acceptable to the Master
Servicer and the Depositor (the “Verification Agent”) will perform such
verification duties and will use its best efforts to issue its findings in
a
report (the “Verification Report”) delivered to the Master Servicer and the
Depositor within ten (10) Business Days following the related Distribution
Date;
provided, however, that if the Verification Agent is unable to issue the
Verification Report within ten (10) Business Days following the Distribution
Date, the Verification Agent may issue and deliver to the Master Servicer and
the Depositor the Verification Report upon the completion of its verification
duties. The Master Servicer shall forward the Verification Report to Countrywide
and shall notify Countrywide if the Master Servicer has determined that
Countrywide did not deliver the appropriate Prepayment Charge to the Securities
Administrator in accordance with this Agreement. Such written notification
from
the Master Servicer shall include the loan number, prepayment penalty code
and
prepayment penalty amount as calculated by the Master Servicer or the
Verification Agent, as applicable, of each Mortgage Loan for which there is
a
discrepancy. If Countrywide agrees with the verified amounts, Countrywide shall
adjust the immediately succeeding Servicer Report and the amount remitted to
the
Securities Administrator with respect to prepayments accordingly. If Countrywide
disagrees with the determination of the Master Servicer, Countrywide shall,
within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the Verification Report, notify
the Master Servicer of such disagreement and provide the Master Servicer with
detailed information to support its position. Countrywide and the Master
Servicer shall cooperate to resolve any discrepancy on or prior to the
immediately succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, and Countrywide will indicate
the effect of such resolution on the Servicer Report and shall adjust the amount
remitted with respect to prepayments on such Servicer Remittance Date
accordingly.
During
such time as Countrywide and the Master Servicer are resolving discrepancies
with respect to the Prepayment Charges, no payments in respect of any disputed
Prepayment Charges will be remitted to the Securities Administrator for deposit
in the Distribution Account and the Master Servicer shall not be obligated
to
deposit such payments, unless otherwise required pursuant to Section 8.01
hereof. In connection with such duties, the Master Servicer shall be able to
rely solely on the information provided to it by Countrywide in accordance
with
this Section. The Master Servicer shall not be responsible for verifying the
accuracy of any of the information provided to it by Countrywide.

(f) On
each
Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall withdraw any amounts
then

shall distribute such amounts to the Class P Certificateholders as described
above.
(g) All
distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each
Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates
in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Payments in
respect of each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date will be made
to
the Holders of the respective Class of record on the related Record Date (except
as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(i) or Section 10.01 respecting the final
distribution on such Class), based on the aggregate Percentage Interest
represented by their respective Certificates, and shall be made by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the account of any such Holder at a bank
or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder shall have
so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least five (5) Business
Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and
is
the registered owner of Certificates having an initial aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance that is in excess of the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii)

surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Securities
Administrator or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Each
distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the
Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for
crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository
Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository
Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the
Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer
shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this
Agreement or applicable law.
180
(h) The
rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the
Certificates, and all interests of the Certificateholders in such distributions,
shall be as set forth in this Agreement. None of the Holders of any Class of
Certificates, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the
Master Servicer shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of
any
other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously
distributed on the Certificates.
(i) Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 10.01, whenever the Securities Administrator
expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates
will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall,
no later than three (3) days before the related Distribution Date, mail to
each
Holder on such date of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect
that:
|
(i)
|
the
Securities Administrator expects that the final distribution with
respect
to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date
but
only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the
office of
the Securities Administrator therein specified,
and
|
|
(ii)
|
no
interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end
of the
related Interest Accrual Period.
|
Any
funds
not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such
Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender
their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the
Securities Administrator and credited to the account of the appropriate
non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has
been
given pursuant to this Section 5.01(i) shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Securities Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.
If
within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator shall, directly
or through an agent, mail a final notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates but shall continue
to hold any remaining funds for the benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders.
The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting
such
Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in such trust
fund.
If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator shall pay to
the
Depositor all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders
in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be
payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Securities
Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its
Certificate(s) on the final Distribution Date for final payment thereof in
accordance with this Section 5.01(i). Any such amounts held in trust by the
Securities Administrator shall be held uninvested in an Eligible
Account.
181
(j) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no event shall the Certificate Principal
Balance of a Class A Certificate or a Mezzanine Certificate be reduced more
than
once in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such Certificate
in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 5.04 and (b) distributed
to
the Holder of such Certificate in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance
thereof pursuant to this Section 5.01 from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow and
(ii)
in no event shall the Uncertificated Balance of a REMIC Regular Interest be
reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated
to
such REMIC Regular Interest in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section
5.04 and (b) distributed on such REMIC Regular Interest in reduction of the
Uncertificated Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.01.

SECTION
5.03. Servicer
Reports; P&I Advances.
(a) On
or
before the second Business Day following the last day of each Prepayment Period,
the Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator by telecopy or electronic mail (or by such other means as the
Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator may agree from
time to time) a remittance report containing such information with respect
to
the related Mortgage Loans and the related Distribution Date as is reasonably
available to the Servicer as the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator
may reasonably require so as to enable the Master Servicer to master service
the
Mortgage Loans and oversee the servicing by the Servicer and the Securities
Administrator to fulfill its obligations hereunder with respect to securities
and tax reporting.
(b) The
amount of P&I Advances to be made by Countrywide on any Distribution Date
shall equal, subject to Section 5.03(d), (i) the aggregate amount of Monthly
Payments (net of the related Servicing Fees), due during the related Due Period
in respect of the Mortgage Loans serviced by Countrywide, which Monthly Payments
were delinquent as of the close of business on the related Determination Date
and (ii) with respect to each REO Property, which was acquired during or prior
to the related Prepayment Period and as to which an REO Disposition did not
occur during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the excess,
if
any, of the REO Imputed Interest on such REO Property for the most recently
ended calendar month, over the net income from such REO Property deposited
in
the related Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.21 of this Agreement for
distribution on such Distribution Date; provided, however, no Servicer shall
be
required to make P&I Advances with respect to Relief Act Interest
Shortfalls, shortfalls due to bankruptcy proceedings, or with respect to
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls in excess of its obligations under Section 3.22
or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, the Monthly Payment on each Balloon Mortgage Loan with a delinquent
Balloon Payment is equal to the assumed monthly payment that would have been
due
on the related Due Date based on the original principal amortization schedule
for such Balloon Mortgage Loan.
On
the
Servicer Remittance Date, Countrywide shall remit in immediately available
funds
to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account an
amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in
respect of the related Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date either
(i) from its own funds or (ii) from the Related Collection Account, to the
extent of any Amounts Held For Future Distribution on deposit therein (in which
case it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Related
Collection Account that Amounts Held For Future Distribution have been, as
permitted by this Section 5.03, used by Countrywide in discharge of any such
P&I Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii)
aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made by Countrywide with
respect to the related Mortgage Loans. In addition, Countrywide shall have
the
right to reimburse itself for any outstanding P&I Advance made from its own
funds from Amounts Held for Future Distribution. Any Amounts Held For Future
Distribution used by Countrywide to make P&I Advances or to reimburse itself
for outstanding P&I Advances shall be appropriately reflected in
Countrywide’s records and replaced by Countrywide by deposit in the related
Collection Account no later than the close of business on the Servicer
Remittance Date immediately following the Due Period or Prepayment Period for
which such amounts relate. The Securities Administrator will notify the
Countrywide and the Master Servicer by the close of business on the Business
Day
prior to the Distribution Date in the event that the amount remitted by the
Servicer to the Securities Administrator on such date pursuant to this Agreement
or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, is less than the P&I Advances
required to be made by such Servicer for the related Distribution
Date.
186
(c) The
obligation of Countrywide to make such P&I Advances is mandatory,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d) below,
and, with respect to any related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall continue
until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the removal
thereof from the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this
Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, except as otherwise
provided in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance or Servicing Advance shall
be required to be made hereunder by any Servicer if such P&I Advance or
Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively. The determination by any

on which the related Servicer was required to make such P&I Advance, subject
to its determination of recoverability.
SECTION
5.04. Allocation
of Realized Losses.
(a) Prior
to
the Determination Date, the Servicers shall determine as to each Mortgage Loan
serviced by such Servicer and any related REO Property and include in the
monthly remittance report provided to the Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator (substantially in the form of Schedule 4 hereto or as set forth
in
the Servicing Agreement) such information as is reasonably available to the
related Servicer as the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator may
reasonably require so as to enable the Master Servicer to master service the
Mortgage Loans and oversee the servicing by the related Servicer and the
Securities Administrator to fulfill its obligations hereunder with respect
to
securities and tax reporting, which shall include, but not be limited to: (i)
the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any
Final Recovery Determinations made during the related Prepayment Period; and
(ii) the respective portions of such Realized Losses allocable to interest
and
allocable to principal. Prior to each Determination Date, the related Servicer
shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (i) the total amount of Realized
Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations made during
the related Prepayment Period; and (ii) the total amount of Realized Losses,
if
any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions in respect of Monthly
Payments due during the related Due Period.
(b) All
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any REMIC I Regular Interest
pursuant to Section 5.04(c) on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the
Securities Administrator on each Distribution Date as follows: first,
to Net
Monthly Excess Cashflow and to Net Swap Payments received from the Swap Provider
under the Swap Agreement for that purpose; second,
to the
Class CE Certificates; third,
to the
Class M-11 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
M-11 Certificates has been reduced to zero; fourth,
to the
Class M-10 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
M-10 Certificates has been reduced to zero; fifth,
to the
Class M-9 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
M-9
Certificates has been reduced to zero; sixth,
to the
Class M-8 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
M-8
Certificates has been reduced to zero; seventh,
to the
Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
M-7
Certificates has been reduced to zero; eighth,
to the
Class M-6 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
M-6
Certificates has been reduced to zero; ninth,
to the
Class M-5 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
M-5
Certificates has been reduced to zero; tenth,
to the
Class M-4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
M-4
Certificates has been reduced to zero; eleventh,
to the
Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
M-3
Certificates has been reduced to zero, twelfth,
to the
Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
M-2
Certificates has been reduced to zero; and thirteenth,
to the
Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
M-1
Certificates has been reduced to zero. All Realized Losses to be allocated
to
the Certificate Principal Balances of all Classes on any Distribution Date
shall
be so allocated after the actual distributions to be made on such date as
provided above. All references above to the Certificate Principal Balance of
any
Class of Certificates shall be to the Certificate Principal Balance of such
Class immediately prior to the relevant Distribution Date, before reduction
thereof by any Realized Losses, in each case to be allocated to such Class
of
Certificates, on such Distribution Date.
187
Any
allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate on any Distribution
Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by
the
amount so allocated; any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class CE Certificate
shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect thereof
pursuant to Section 5.01(c)(8)(viii). No allocations of any Realized Losses
shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates
or Class P Certificates.
As
used
herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a “pro
rata
basis”
among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on
a
pro
rata
basis,
among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of Certificates
on
the basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances prior to
giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date. All
Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates
hereunder will be allocated among the, Certificates of such Class in proportion
to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
In
addition, in the event that a Servicer receives any Subsequent Recoveries with
respect to a Mortgage Loan serviced by it, the related Servicer shall deposit
such funds into the related Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.08 or
the
Servicing Agreement, as applicable. If, after taking into account such
Subsequent Recoveries, the amount of a Realized Loss is reduced, the amount
of
such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class of Subordinate Certificates with the highest payment
priority to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but not by more than
the
amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Subordinate
Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.04 and not previously reimbursed to
such
Class of Subordinate Certificates with Net Monthly Excess Cashflow pursuant
to
Section 5.01(c)(8). The amount of any remaining Subsequent Recoveries will
be
applied to sequentially increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the
Subordinate Certificates, beginning with the Class of Subordinate Certificates
with the next highest payment priority, up to the amount of such Realized Losses
previously allocated to such Class of Subordinate Certificates pursuant to
this
Section 5.04 and not previously reimbursed to such Class of Subordinate
Certificates with Net Monthly Excess Cashflow pursuant to Section
5.01(c)(8)(iii). Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any
payment in respect of current interest on the amount of such increases for
any
Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase
occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Certificate Principal Balance
of each Subordinate Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective
Percentage Interest.
188
(c)(i) All
Realized Losses on the Group IA Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on each
Distribution Date first to REMIC I Regular Interest IA until the Uncertificated
Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero and second,
to
REMIC I Regular Interest IA-1-A through REMIC I Regular Interest IA-60-B,
starting with the lowest numerical denomination until such REMIC I Regular
Interest has been reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests
with the same numerical denomination, such Realized Losses shall be allocated
pro
rata

such REMIC I Regular Interests. All Realized Losses on the Group IB Mortgage
Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date first to REMIC I Regular
Interest IB until the Uncertificated Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest
has been reduced to zero and second, to REMIC I Regular Interest IB-1-A through

Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date first, to REMIC I Regular
Interest II until the Uncertificated Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest
has been reduced to zero and second, to REMIC I Regular Interest II-1-A through

denomination until such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero,
provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the same numerical
denomination, such Realized Losses shall be allocated pro
rata
between
such REMIC I Regular Interests.

keep
the Uncertificated Balance of each REMIC II Regular Interest ending with the
designation “GRP” equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans in the related loan group; second, to each REMIC II Regular

receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed
to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from
its
own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding any other

Information. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and
expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection
with

such
Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s
inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any
other party hereto needed to prepare, execute or arrange for execution or file
such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the

(ii) In
the
event that the Securities Administrator is unable to timely file with the

not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth

10-K,

for
the purposes of restating any Monthly Report), any Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure or any Form 8-K Disclosure Information or any amendment to such
disclosure, the Securities Administrator will electronically notify the
Depositor only if the amendment pertains to an additional reporting item being
revised and/or amended on such form, but not if an amendment is being filed
as a
result of a Remittance Report revision, and the Depositor will cooperate with
the Securities Administrator in preparing any necessary 8-KA, 10-DA or 10-KA.

execute and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments
to
Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities
Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any
information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, execute or arrange
for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms
8-K,

Promptly (but no later than 1 Business Day) after filing with the Commission,
the Securities Administrator will make available on its internet website a
final
executed copy of each Form 10-K filed by the Securities Administrator. Neither
the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability
for any loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any
failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where
such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to
receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed
to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from
its
own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement, the obligations of the Servicer with respect
to
Additional Form 10-K Disclosure shall be limited to those set forth in
Section 3.19(f)(ii) of this Agreement.
(e) Each
of
Form 10-D and Form 10-K requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes”
or “no”) that it “(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter
period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has
been
subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby
represents to the Securities Administrator that the Depositor has filed all
such
required reports during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject
to
such filing requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the
Securities Administrator in writing, no later than the fifth calendar day after
the related Distribution Date with respect to the filing of a report on Form
10-D and no later than March 15th
with
respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-K, if the answer to the question
should be “no” as a result of filings that relate to other securitization
transactions of the Depositor for which the Securities Administrator does not
have the obligation to prepare and file Exchange Act reports.
(f) The
Securities Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Trustee and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against
any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising
out
of or based upon a breach of the Master Servicer’s obligations under this
Section 5.06 or the Master Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct in connection therewith.
195
SECTION
5.07. Supplemental
Interest Trust.
(a) On
the
Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain in
the
name of the Trustee a separate account for the benefit of the holders of the
Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates (the “Supplemental Interest
Trust”). The Supplemental Interest Trust shall be an Eligible Account, and funds
on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be
commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys
of the Trustee or of the Securities Administrator held pursuant to this
Agreement.
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall deposit into the
Supplemental Interest Trust amounts distributable to the Swap Provider by the
Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to Section 5.01(c)(2), (3), (4), (6)
and (7) and Section 5.01(c)(8)(vii)
of this
Agreement. On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall
distribute any such amounts to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Swap Agreement,
first to pay any Net Swap Payment owed to the Swap Provider for such
Distribution Date, and second to pay any Swap Termination Payment owed to the
Swap Provider not due to a Swap Provider Trigger Event.
(c) The
Supplemental Interest Trust constitutes an “outside reserve fund” within the
meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.860G-2(h) and is not an asset of any REMIC.
The Holders of the Class CE Certificates shall be the beneficial owner of the
Supplemental Interest Trust, subject to the power of the Securities
Administrator to transfer amounts under this Agreement. The Securities
Administrator shall keep records that accurately reflect the funds on deposit
in
the Supplemental Interest Trust. The Securities Administrator shall, at the
written direction of the majority of the Class CE Certificateholders, invest
amounts on deposit in the Supplemental Interest Trust in Permitted Investments.
In the absence of written direction to the Securities Administrator from the
majority of the Class CE Certificateholders, all funds in the Supplemental
Interest Trust shall remain uninvested. On each Distribution Date, the
Securities Administrator shall distribute, not in respect of any REMIC, any
interest earned on the Supplemental Interest Trust to the Holders of the Class
CE Certificates.
(d) For
federal income tax purposes, amounts paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust
on
each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.01(c)(2), (3), (4), (6) and
(7) and Section 5.01(c)(8)(vii) shall first be deemed paid to the
Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of the Class IO Interest to the extent
of
the amount distributable on such Class IO Interest on such Distribution Date,
and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid to the Supplemental Interest
Trust
in respect of a Class IO Distribution Amount. It is the intention of the parties
hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax
purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be disregarded as an entity separate
from the Holder of the Class CE Certificates unless and until the date when
either (a) there is more than one Class CE Certificateholder or (b) any Class
of
Certificates in addition to the Class CE Certificates is recharacterized as
an
equity interest in the Supplemental Interest Trust for federal income tax
purposes, in which case it is the intention of the parties hereto that, for
federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the
Supplemental Interest Trust be treated as a partnership. The Master Servicer
shall not be required to prepare and file partnership tax returns in respect
of
such partnership unless it receives additional reasonable compensation (not
to
exceed $10,000 per year) for the preparation of such filings, written
notification recognizing the creation of a partnership agreement or comparable
documentation evidencing the partnership.
196
(e) The
Securities Administrator shall treat the Holders of Certificates (other than
the
Class P, Class CE and Residual Certificates) as having entered into a notional
principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.
Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of Certificates
(other than the Class P, Class CE and Residual Certificates) shall be treated
as
having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holder of the Class
CE
Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount
payable on such Distribution Date on the Regular Interest ownership of which
is
represented by such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such
Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class IO
Distribution Amount”). A Class IO Distribution Amount payable from interest
collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the
amount of interest otherwise payable to such Certificates, and a Class IO
Distribution Amount payable from principal collections shall be allocated to
the
most subordinate Class of such Certificates with an outstanding principal
balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional
principal contract, the Holder of the Class CE Certificates shall be treated
as
having agreed to pay Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts to the Holders of the
Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and Residual Certificates) in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to such Certificates
from amounts deemed received in respect of this notional principal contract
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 Certificates
(other than the Class CE, Class P and Residual Certificates) of a Class IO
Distribution Amount shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received
by
the Holders of such Certificates in respect of the Regular Interest ownership
of
which is represented by such Certificates, and as having been paid by such
Holders to the Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to the notional principal
contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class P Certificates and
Residual Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only ownership
of a
Regular Interest in REMIC III, but also ownership of an interest in, and
obligations with respect to, a notional principal contract.
(f) For
federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the holders of the
Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates to receive payments from
the
Supplemental Interest Trust and the Reserve Fund in respect of any Net WAC
Rate
Carryover Amount shall be assigned a value of $2,407,686.
(g) Upon
a
Swap Early Termination other than in connection with the optional termination
of
the trust, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Supplemental Interest
Trust, at the direction f the Depositor, will use reasonable efforts to appoint
a successor swap provider to enter into a new interest rate swap agreement
on
terms substantially similar to the Swap Agreement, with a successor swap
provider meeting all applicable eligibility requirements. If the Securities
Administrator receives a Swap Termination Payment from the Swap Provider in
connection with such Swap Early Termination, the Securities Administrator will
apply such Swap Termination Payment to any upfront payment required to appoint
the successor swap provider. If the Securities Administrator is required to
pay
a Swap Termination Payment to the Swap Provider in connection with such Swap
Early Termination, the Securities Administrator will apply any upfront payment
received from the successor swap provider to pay such Swap Termination Payment.
197
If
the
Securities Administrator is unable to appoint a successor swap provider within
30 days of the Swap Early Termination, then the Securities Administrator will
deposit any Swap Termination Payment received from the original Swap Provider
into a separate, non-interest bearing reserve account and will, on each
subsequent Distribution Date, withdraw from the amount then remaining on deposit
in such reserve account an amount equal to the Net Swap Payment, if any, that
would have been paid to the Securities Administrator by the original Swap
Provider calculated in accordance with the terms of the original Swap Agreement,
and distribute such amount in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(h) In
the
event that the Swap Provider fails to perform any of its obligations under
the
Swap Agreement (including, without limitation, its obligation to make any
payment or transfer collateral), or breaches any of its representations and
warranties thereunder, or in the event that an Event of Default, Termination
Event, or Additional Termination Event (each as defined in the Swap Agreement)
occurs with respect to the Swap Agreement, the Securities Administrator on
behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall immediately, but no
later than the next Business Day following such failure or breach, notify the
Depositor and send any notices and make any demands, on behalf of the
Supplemental Interest Trust, in accordance with the Swap Agreement.
(i) In
the
event that the Swap Provider’s obligations are guaranteed by a third party under
a guaranty relating to the Swap Agreement (such guaranty the “Guaranty” and such
third party the “Guarantor”), then to the extent that the Swap Provider fails to
make any payment by the close of business on the day it is required to make
payment under the terms of the Swap Agreement, the Securities Administrator
on
behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, as soon as practicable,
but no later than two (2) business days after the Swap Provider’s failure to
pay, demand that the Guarantor make any and all payments then required to be
made by the Guarantor pursuant to such Guaranty; provided, that the Securities
Administrator shall in no event be liable for any failure or delay in the
performance by the Swap Provider or any Guarantor of its obligations hereunder
or pursuant to the Swap Agreement and the Guaranty, nor for any special,
indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including
but
not limited to lost profits) in connection therewith.
SECTION
5.08. Tax
Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments.
For
federal income tax purposes, each holder of a Class A Certificate or Mezzanine
Certificate is deemed to own an undivided beneficial ownership interest in
a
REMIC regular interest and the right to receive payments from either the Reserve
Fund or the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amounts or the obligation to make payments to the Supplemental Interest Trust.
For federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator will account
for
payments to each Class A Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate as follows: each
Class A Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate will be treated as receiving their
entire payment from REMIC III (regardless of any Swap Termination Payment or
obligation under the Swap Agreement) and subsequently paying their portion
of
any Swap Termination Payment in respect of each such Class’s obligation under
the Swap Agreement. In the event that any such Class is resecuritized in a
REMIC, the obligation under the Swap Agreement to pay any such Swap Termination
Payment (or any shortfall in Net Swap Payment), will be made by one or more
of
the REMIC Regular Interests issued by the resecuritization REMIC subsequent
to
such REMIC Regular Interest receiving its full payment from any such Class
A
Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate.
198
The
REMIC
Regular Interest corresponding to an Class A Certificate or Mezzanine
Certificate will be entitled to receive interest and principal payments at
the
times and in the amounts equal to those made on the certificate to which it
corresponds, except that (i) the maximum interest rate of that REMIC regular
interest will equal the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate computed for this purpose
by
limiting the Swap Notional Amount of the Swap Agreement to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) any Swap Termination Payment
will be treated as being payable solely from amounts otherwise payable to the
Class CE Certificates. As a result of the foregoing, the amount of distributions
and taxable income on the REMIC Regular Interest corresponding to a Class A
Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate may exceed the actual amount of
distributions on the Class A Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate.
SECTION
5.09. Swap
Collateral Account
The
Securities Administrator is hereby directed to perform the obligations of the
Custodian as defined under the Swap Credit Support Annex (the “Swap Custodian”).
On
or
before the Closing Date, the Swap Custodian shall establish a Swap Collateral
Account. The Swap Collateral Account shall be held in the name of the Swap
Custodian in trust for the benefit of the Class A Certificates and Mezzanine
Certificates on the Closing Date. The Swap Collateral Account shall be an
Eligible Account and shall be entitled “Supplemental Interest Trust Posted
Collateral Account, ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association for the benefit
of
holders of ACE Securities Corp., Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2006-NC3, Asset
Backed Pass-Through Certificates”.
The
Swap
Custodian shall credit to Swap Collateral Account all collateral (whether in
the
form of cash or securities) posted by the Swap Provider to secure the
obligations of the Swap Provider in accordance with the terms of the Swap
Agreement. Except for investment earnings, the Swap Provider shall not have
any
legal, equitable or beneficial interest in the Swap Collateral Account other
than in accordance with this Agreement, the Swap Agreement and applicable law.
The Swap Custodian shall maintain and apply all collateral and earnings thereon
on deposit in the Swap Collateral Account in accordance with Swap Credit Support
Annex.
Cash
collateral posted by the Swap Provider in accordance with the Swap Credit
Support Annex shall be invested at the direction of the Depositor in Permitted
Investments that mature no later than the Business Day prior to the next
succeeding Distribution Date. If no investment direction is received or
provided, the Securities Administrator shall invest the funds in the ▇▇▇▇▇
Fargo
Advantage Prime Investment Money Market Fund. All amounts earned on amounts
on
deposit in the Swap Collateral Account (whether cash collateral or securities)
shall be taxable to the Swap Provider.
199
Upon
the
occurrence of an Event of Default, a Termination Event, or an Additional
Termination Event (each as defined in the Swap Agreement), amounts in the Swap
Collateral Account shall be withdrawn by the Swap Custodian and applied to
the
payment of any termination payment due to Party B (as defined in the Swap
Agreement) in accordance with the Swap Credit Support Annex. Any excess amounts
held in such Swap Collateral Account after payment of all amounts owing to
Party
B under the Swap Agreement shall be withdrawn from the Swap Collateral Account
and paid to the Swap Provider in accordance with the Swap Credit Support Annex.

ARTICLE
VI
THE
CERTIFICATES
SECTION
6.01. The
Certificates.
(a) The
Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets included in REMIC I, REMIC
II and REMIC III.
The
Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits
A-1
through A-6. The Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered
form
only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as described in the
definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the
related Class.
Upon
original issue, the Certificates shall be executed and authenticated by the
Securities Administrator and delivered by the Trustee to and upon the written
order of the Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or
facsimile signature on behalf of the Trust by the Securities Administrator
by an
authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures
of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Securities
Administrator shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or
any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate
a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided herein
executed by the Securities Administrator by manual signature, and such
certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their
authentication.
(b) The
Class
A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates shall initially be issued as
one
or more Certificates held by the Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold
such Certificates as provided below, the Depository and registered in the name
of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below, registration
of
such Certificates may not be transferred by the Securities Administrator except
to another Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective
Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners
shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates
through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided
below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates
(“Definitive Certificates”) in respect of such Ownership Interests. All
transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in
the
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 the Ownership
Interests in the 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. The Securities Administrator is hereby initially
appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in
accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the
Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and,
if
it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall,
appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Servicer and,
if the Trustee is not the Book-Entry Custodian, the Trustee, any other transfer
agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository) to act as
Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry
Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided
that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its
duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than
the
Depository. If the Securities Administrator resigns or is removed in accordance
with the terms hereof, the successor Securities Administrator or, if it so
elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as
Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to
obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the
Book-Entry Custodian.
201
(c) The
Class
M-10, Class M-11 and Class CE Certificates initially offered and sold in
offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued in the form
of
a temporary global certificate in definitive, fully registered form (each,
a
“Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate”), which shall be deposited with the
Securities Administrator or an agent of the Securities Administrator as
custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as
nominee of the Depository for the account of designated agents holding on behalf
of Euroclear or Clearstream. Beneficial interests in each Regulation S Temporary
Global Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream; provided,
however, that such interests may be exchanged for interests in a Definitive
Certificate in accordance with the requirements described in Section 6.02.
After
the expiration of the Release Date, a beneficial interest in a Regulation S
Temporary Global Certificate may be exchanged for a beneficial interest in
the
related permanent global certificate of the same Class (each, a “Regulation S
Permanent Global Certificate”), in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 6.02. Each Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate shall be deposited
with the Securities Administrator or an agent of the Securities Administrator
as
custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as
nominee of the Depository.
The
Class
M-10 Certificates and Class M-11 Certificates offered and sold to Qualified
Institutional Buyers (“QIBs”) in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act
(“Rule 144A”) or institutional investors that are accredited investors within
the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the
Securities Act (“Institutional Accredited Investors”) will be issued in the form
of Book-Entry Certificates.
The
Class
CE Certificates and Class P Certificates offered and sold to QIBs in reliance
on
Rule 144A will be issued in the form of Definitive Certificates.
(d) The
Trustee, the Servicers, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and
the Depositor may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on
the
Book-Entry Certificates and Global Certificates) deal with the Depository as
the
authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the
Book-Entry Certificates and Global Certificates for the purposes of exercising
the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners
with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates and Global Certificates shall be
limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate
Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such
Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the
Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates and Global Certificates
with
respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are
made with respect to different Certificate Owners. The Securities Administrator
may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of
consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the
Depository of such record date.
202
If
(i)(A)
the Depositor advises the Securities Administrator in writing that the
Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Securities
Administrator in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system
through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of the Servicer Event
of
Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51%
of
the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Securities
Administrator through the Depository, 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 Securities Administrator shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event
and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners
requesting the same. With respect to a Global Certificate, the related
Certificate Owner (other than a Holder of a Regulation S Temporary Global
Certificate) may request that its interest in a Global Certificate be exchanged
for a Definitive Certificate. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator
of
the Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository,
as
applicable, or the Global Certificates by the Depository accompanied by
registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer,
the
Securities Administrator shall cause the Definitive Certificates to be issued.
Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $10,000
except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry
Certificate, or a Global Certificate, as applicable, in an amount less than
$10,000 immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall
be
issued in a minimum denomination equal to the amount represented by such
Book-Entry Certificate or a Global Certificate, as applicable. None of the
Depositor, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator
or
the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions
and 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 Securities Administrator, to the extent
applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Securities
Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.
SECTION
6.02. Registration
of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The
Securities Administrator shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or
agencies to be appointed by the Securities Administrator in accordance with
the
provisions of Section 9.11, a Certificate Register for the Certificates in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Securities Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates
and
of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
(b) No
transfer of any Class M-10 Certificate, Class M-11 Certificate, Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall be made unless
that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the
Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable
state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such
registration or qualification.
203
In
the
event that such a transfer of a Class M-10 Certificate, Class M-11 Certificate,
Class CE Certificate or Class P Certificate is to be made without registration
or qualification (other than in connection with the initial transfer of any
such
Certificate by the Depositor), the Securities Administrator shall require
receipt of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon
Rule
144A under the Securities Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder
desiring to effect the transfer and from such Certificateholder’s prospective
transferee, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B-1;
(ii) if
such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 501(a) under
the
Securities Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring
to
effect the transfer and from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee,
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B-3,
(iii)
if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance on Regulation S, a
written certification from the prospective transferee, substantially in the
form
attached hereto as Exhibit
B-2
and
(iv)
in
all
other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator
that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or
the
Servicer), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or such
Certificateholder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is
based, if any.
A
holder
of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate must
provide Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, with a certificate in
the
form of Annex A to Exhibit B-2 hereto certifying that the beneficial owner
of
the interest in such Global Certificate is not a U.S. Person (as defined in
Regulation S), and Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, must provide
to
the Trustee and Securities Administrator a certificate in the form of Exhibit
B-2 hereto prior to (i) the payment of interest or principal with respect to
such holder’s beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global
Certificate and (ii) any exchange of such beneficial interest for a beneficial
interest in a Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate.
In
the
event that such a transfer of a Residual Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification (other than in connection with the initial
transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor), the Securities Administrator
shall require receipt of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in
reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act, written certifications from
the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and from such
Certificateholder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit
B-1;
(ii) if
such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 501(a) under
the
Securities Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring
to
effect the transfer and from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee,
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B-3,
and
(iv)
in
all
other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator
that such transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or
the
Servicer), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or such
Certificateholder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is
based, if any.
204
Neither
of the Depositor nor the Securities Administrator is obligated to register
or
qualify any such Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities
laws or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit
the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of any such Certificate shall,
and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Servicer against any liability
that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.
(c) No
transfer of a Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or a Residual
Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan, any Person
acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person
acquiring such Certificates with “Plan Assets” of a Plan within the meaning of
the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 (“Plan
Assets”) unless the Securities Administrator is provided with an Opinion of
Counsel on which the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee and the Servicers may rely, which establishes to
the
satisfaction of the Securities Administrator that the purchase of such
Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result
in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and
will not subject the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee, the Master Servicer,
the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability
(including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee,
the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund. An Opinion
of Counsel will not be required in connection with the initial transfer of
any
such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor (in which
case, the Depositor or any affiliate thereof shall have deemed to have
represented that such affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets)
and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon
a
representation (which, upon the request of the Securities Administrator, shall
be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee
as an affiliate of the Depositor.
For
so
long as the Supplemental Interest Trust is in existence, each beneficial owner
of an Offered Certificate,
or
any
interest therein, shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its
acquisition or holding of the Offered Certificate, or interest therein, that
either (i) it is not a Plan or (ii)(A) it is an accredited investor within
the
meaning of Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2002-41, as amended from time to
time (the “Exemption”) and (B) the acquisition and holding of such Certificate
and the separate right to receive payments from the Supplemental Interest Trust
are eligible for the exemptive relief available under Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14 (for transactions by independent “qualified
professional asset managers”), 91-38 (for transactions by bank collective
investment funds), 90-1 (for transactions by insurance company pooled separate
accounts), 95-60 (for transactions by insurance company general accounts) or
96-23 (for transactions effected by “in-house asset managers”) in
the
case of an Offered Certificate or PTCE 95-60 in the case of a Class M-10
Certificate
or Class
M-11 Certificate.
Each
Transferee of a Mezzanine Certificate or any interest therein that is acquired
after the termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust will be deemed to
have
represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such Certificate (or
interest therein) that either (a) such Transferee is not a Plan or purchasing
such Certificate with Plan Assets, (b) except in the case of a Class M-10
Certificate or Class M-11 Certificate, it has acquired and is holding such
Certificate in reliance on the Exemption, and that it understands that there
are
certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption including that such
Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or
its equivalent) by a Rating Agency or (c) the following conditions are
satisfied: (i) such Transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source of
funds
used to purchase or hold such Certificate (or interest therein) is an “insurance
company general account” (as defined in PTCE 95-60, and (iii) the conditions set
forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
205
If
any
Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in violation of the
conditions described in this Section 6.02(c), the next preceding permitted
beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate,
retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any
purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any certificate
or
interest therein was effected in violation of the conditions described in this
Section 6.02(c) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and
the
Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses
incurred by those parties as a result of that acquisition or
holding.
(d)(i)
Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably
authorized the Securities Administrator or its designee under clause (iii)(A)
below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate
the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute
all
instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection
with
any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a
Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(A) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Securities
Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(B) In
connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall require delivery to it, and
shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt
of, an affidavit and agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement,” in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit
B-4)
from
the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator, representing and warranting, among other things, that such
Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership
Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed
Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it
has
reviewed the provisions of this Section 6.02(d) and agrees to be bound by
them.
206
(C) Notwithstanding
the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee
under clause (B) above, if an authorized officer of the Securities Administrator
who is assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be
effected.
(D) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other
Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate and (Y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless
it
provides a Transferor Affidavit (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2)
to
the Securities Administrator stating that, among other things, it has no actual
knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(E) Each
Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate,
by
purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the
Securities Administrator written notice that it is a “pass-through interest
holder” within the meaning of temporary Treasury regulation
Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf of, a “pass-through interest
holder.”
(ii) The
Securities Administrator will register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate
only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement and all
of
such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Securities
Administrator as a condition to such registration. In addition, no Transfer
of a
Residual Certificate shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall
have received a representation letter from the Transferee of such Certificate
to
the effect that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.
(iii) (A)
If
any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the provisions of this Section 6.02(d), then the last
preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by
law, to all rights as holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
of
such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Securities Administrator shall
be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a
Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.02(d)
or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the holder thereof or
for
taking any other action with respect to such holder under the provisions of
this
Agreement.
(B) If
any
purported Transferee shall become a holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the restrictions in this Section 6.02(d) and to the extent
that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the holder of such Residual
Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal
or
unenforceable, then the Securities Administrator shall have the right, without
notice to the holder or any prior holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell
such Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Securities
Administrator on such terms as the Securities Administrator may choose. Such
purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual
Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Securities Administrator.
Such purchaser may be the Securities Administrator itself or any Affiliate
of
the Securities Administrator. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions
(which may include commissions payable to the Securities Administrator or its
Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Securities
Administrator to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any
sale
under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the
Securities Administrator, and the Securities Administrator shall not be liable
to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result
of its exercise of such discretion.
207
(iv) The
Securities Administrator shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service
and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information necessary
to
compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization,
including the information described in Treasury regulations sections
1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the “excess inclusions” of
such Residual Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment
company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust,
estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its record holders
at any time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable
compensation for providing such information may be charged or collected by
the
Securities Administrator.
(v) The
provisions of this Section 6.02(d) set forth prior to this subsection (v)
may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been
delivered to the Securities Administrator at the expense of the party seeking
to
modify, add to or eliminate any such provision the following:
(A) written
notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that the modification,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause such Rating Agency
to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates;
and
(B) an
Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or
elimination of such provisions will not cause any Trust REMIC to cease to
qualify as a REMIC and will not cause any Trust REMIC, as the case may be,
to be
subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Residual
Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee or a Person other
than the prospective transferee to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused by the
Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee.
208
(e) No
transfer of the Class CE Certificates shall be made unless the transferee of
such Certificates provides to the Securities Administrator the appropriate
tax
certification form (i.e., IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY, W-8EXP or
W-8ECI, as applicable (or any successor form thereto)), as a condition to such
transfer and agrees to update such forms (i) upon expiration of any such form,
(ii) as required under then applicable U.S. Treasury regulations and (iii)
promptly upon learning that any IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY, W-8EXP
or W-8ECI, as applicable (or any successor form thereto), has become obsolete
or
incorrect, each as a condition to such transfer so long as they are in physical
form. Upon receipt of any such tax certification form from a transferee of
any
Class CE Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall provide a copy of
such
tax certification form to the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee so long as
the
Securities Administrator is permitted to provide such tax certification. The
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall provide to the Swap Provider a copy
of
any such tax certification form received from the Securities Administrator
so
long as the Securities Administrator is permitted to provide such tax
certification. The
initial Holder of the Class CE Certificates shall provide to the Securities
Administrator on the Closing Date an IRS Form W-9.
(f) Subject
to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Securities Administrator maintained
for such purpose pursuant to Section 9.11, the Securities Administrator
shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of
a
like aggregate Percentage Interest.
(g) At
the
option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be exchanged for other
Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations and a like
aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be
exchanged at any office or agency of the Securities Administrator maintained
for
such purpose pursuant to Section 9.11. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered
for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Securities Administrator)
be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in
the form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition, with
respect to each Class R Certificate, the holder thereof may exchange, in the
manner described above, such Class R Certificate for three separate
certificates, each representing such holder's respective Percentage Interest
in
the Class R-I Interest, the Class R-II Interest and the Class R-III Interest,
respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being
exchanged.
(h) No
service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(i) All
Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled and
destroyed by the Securities Administrator in accordance with its customary
procedures.
209
SECTION
6.03. Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If
(i)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or
the
Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and of the ownership thereof,
and
(ii) there is delivered to the Securities Administrator such security or
indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence
of
actual knowledge by the Securities Administrator that such Certificate has
been
acquired by a protected purchaser, the Securities Administrator, shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class
and
of like denomination and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section, the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator) connected therewith. Any
replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute
complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable REMIC created
hereunder, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION
6.04. Persons
Deemed Owners.
The
Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name
any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose
of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.01 and for all other
purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee,
the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any agent of any of them shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION
6.05. Certain
Available Information.
210
On
or
prior to the date of the first sale of any Class M-10 Certificate, Class M-11
Certificate, Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate
to an Independent third party, the Depositor shall provide to the Securities
Administrator ten copies of any private placement memorandum or other disclosure
document used by the Depositor in connection with the offer and sale of such
Certificate. In addition, if any such private placement memorandum or disclosure
document is revised, amended or supplemented at any time following the delivery
thereof to the Securities Administrator, the Depositor promptly shall inform
the
Securities Administrator of such event and shall deliver to the Securities
Administrator ten copies of the private placement memorandum or disclosure
document, as revised, amended or supplemented. The Securities Administrator
shall maintain at its office as set forth in Section 12.05 hereof and shall
make available free of charge during normal business hours for review by any
Holder of a Certificate or any Person identified to the Securities Administrator
as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, originals or copies of the
following items: (i) in the case of a Holder or prospective transferee of a
Class M-10 Certificate, Class M-11 Certificate, Class CE Certificate, Class
P
Certificate or Residual Certificate, the related private placement memorandum
or
other disclosure document relating to such Class of Certificates, in the form
most recently provided to the Securities Administrator; and (ii) in all cases,
(A) this Agreement and any amendments hereof entered into pursuant to
Section 12.01, (B) all monthly statements required to be delivered to
Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to Section 5.02 since the
Closing Date, and all other notices, reports, statements and written
communications delivered to the Certificateholders of the relevant Class
pursuant to this Agreement since the Closing Date and (C) any copies of all
Officers’ Certificates of the Servicer since the Closing Date delivered to the
Master Servicer to evidence such Person’s determination that any P&I Advance
or Servicing Advance was, or if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance
or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Copies and mailing of any and all of the
foregoing items will be available from the Securities Administrator upon request
at the expense of the Person requesting the same.

The
Depositor, the Servicer and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
by this Agreement upon them in their respective capacities as Depositor,
Servicer and Master Servicer and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Master Servicer herein. References to the Servicer in this
Article VII (other than with respect to Sections 7.08, 7.09 and 7.10) shall
be
deemed to refer to Countrywide.
SECTION
7.02. Merger
or
Consolidation of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer.
Subject
to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph, the
Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
limited partnership under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation. Subject
to the following paragraph, the Master Servicer will keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a national banking association. The
Depositor, the Servicer and the Master Servicer each will obtain and preserve
its qualification to do business as a foreign entity in each jurisdiction in
which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
The
Depositor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated
with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets
to
any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation
to which the Depositor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer shall be a party,
or
any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Servicer or the
Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Servicer or the
Master Servicer, as the case may be, 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 any
successor to the Servicer or the Master Servicer shall meet the eligibility
requirements set forth in clauses (i) and (iii) of the last paragraph of
Section 8.02(a) or Section 7.06 of this Agreement.
SECTION
7.03. Limitation
on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer and
Others.
212
None
of
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer
or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund
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
Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer
or
any such person against any breach of warranties, representations or covenants
made herein or against any specific liability imposed on any such Person
pursuant hereto or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance
of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Master
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer may rely in
good
faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed
and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor,
Countrywide, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, Countrywide, the Securities
Administrator or the Master Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless
by
the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection
with any legal action relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or any Credit
Risk Management Agreement or any loss, liability or expense incurred (including,
without limitation, any liability attributable to it as a result of the acts
or
omissions of New Century or any prior servicer or the failure of New Century
or
any prior servicer to perform in accordance with the Servicing Agreement;
provided, however, that the Trust Fund shall have no obligation to indemnify
Countrywide for any such acts or omissions of New Century or any prior servicer
unless and until the Countrywide has first sought (employing commercially
reasonable efforts) indemnification from New Century or such prior servicer)
other than by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence
in
the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation
to
appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related
to
its respective duties under this Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve
it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor,
the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer may in its
discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable
with 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 (except
any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason
of
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses,
costs
and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor from the Collection Accounts or the Distribution Account
as
and to the extent provided in Article III and Article IV, any such right of
reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive
any
amount in the Collection Accounts and the Distribution Account.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Servicer shall not be liable
for
any actions or inactions prior to the Cut-off Date of any prior servicer of
the
related Mortgage Loans and the Master Servicer shall not be liable for any
action or inaction of the Servicer, except to the extent expressly provided
herein, or the Credit Risk Management Agreement.
213
SECTION
7.04. Limitation
on Resignation of the Servicer.
(a) Except
as
expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall neither assign all or
substantially all of its rights under this Agreement or the servicing hereunder
nor delegate all or substantially all of its duties hereunder nor sell or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets without,
in each case, the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that in each case, 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 or sale or disposition
of
assets will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the
then-current rating of any of the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Servicer, without the consent of the Trustee or the Master Servicer, may
retain third-party contractors to perform certain servicing and loan
administration functions, including without limitation hazard insurance
administration, tax payment and administration, flood certification and
administration, collection services and similar functions, provided, however,
that the retention of such contractors by the Servicer shall not limit the
obligation of the Servicer to service the related Mortgage Loans pursuant to
the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Servicer shall not resign from
the
obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that
its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law, or (ii)
upon the Servicer’s written proposal of a successor servicer reasonably
acceptable to each of the Sponsor, the Depositor and the Master Servicer. No
such resignation under clause (i) above shall become effective unless evidenced
by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Servicer
and delivered to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies. No such resignation of
the
Servicer under clause (ii) shall be effective unless:
(i) the
proposed successor Servicer is (1) an affiliate of the Master Servicer that
services mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans in the jurisdictions
in
which the related Mortgaged Properties are located or (2) the proposed successor
Servicer has a rating of at least “Above Average” by S&P and either a rating
of at least “RPS2” by Fitch or a rating of at least “SQ2” by
▇▇▇▇▇’▇;
(ii) the
Rating Agencies have confirmed to the Trustee that the appointment of the
proposed successor servicer as the servicer under this Agreement will not result
in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current ratings of any of the
Certificates; and
(iii) the
proposed successor Servicer has a net worth of at least
$25,000,000.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, no resignation of the Servicer shall become effective
until the Master Servicer or a successor Servicer shall have assumed the
Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities
arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this
Agreement.
(b) Except
as
expressly provided herein, the 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 Servicer hereunder.
The
foregoing prohibition on assignment shall not prohibit the Servicer from
designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any indemnification amount payable to
the
Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that as provided in Section 3.02, no
Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto
shall not be required to recognize any Sub-Servicer as an indemnitee under
this
Agreement.
214
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Servicer may pledge or assign as collateral
all its rights, title and interest under this Agreement to a lender (the
“Servicing Rights Lender”), provided, that:
(i) upon
a
Servicer Event of Default and receipt of a notice of termination by the
Servicer, the Servicing Rights Lender may direct the Servicer or its designee
to
appoint a successor Servicer pursuant to the provisions, and subject to the
conditions, set forth in Section 8.02 regarding such appointment of a
successor Servicer;
(ii) the
Servicing Rights Lender’s rights are subject to this Agreement; and
(iii) the
Servicer shall remain subject to termination as servicer under this Agreement
pursuant to the terms hereof.
SECTION
7.05. Limitation
on Resignation of the Master Servicer.
The
Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed
on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law. Any such determination pursuant to the
preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall
be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of
the
Master Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies. No
resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee
or a
successor Master Servicer meeting the criteria specified in Section 7.06
shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities
(other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such
successor) and obligations under this Agreement.
SECTION
7.06. Assignment
of Master Servicing.
The
Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and delegate its duties and
obligations in its entirety as Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided,
however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accept in writing such assignment
and delegation and assume the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder
(a)
shall have a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 (unless otherwise approved
by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below); (b) shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee (as evidenced in a writing signed by the Trustee);
and (c) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption
by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each
covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as master servicer
under this Agreement, any custodial agreement from and after the effective
date
of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior written notice
of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer and each Rating
Agency’s rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such
assignment, sale and delegation will not be downgraded, qualified or withdrawn
as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as evidenced by a letter
to
such effect delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee; and (iii) the
Master Servicer assigning and selling the master servicing shall deliver to
the
Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Independent counsel, each
stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement have
been completed and such action is permitted by and complies with the terms
of
this Agreement. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any liability
of
the Master Servicer arising out of acts or omissions prior to the effective
date
thereof.
215
SECTION
7.07. Rights
of
the Depositor in Respect of the Servicer and the Master Servicer.
Each
of
the Master Servicer and the Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing or
Sub-Contracting Agreement shall provide that each Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor,
as applicable, shall afford) the Depositor and the Trustee, upon reasonable
notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the
Master Servicer or the Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor,
as
applicable) in respect of the Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder and
access to officers of the Master Servicer or the Servicer (and those of any
such
Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor, as applicable) responsible for such obligations,
and the Master Servicer shall have access to all such records maintained by
the
Servicer and any Sub-Servicers or Subcontractors. Upon request, each of the
Master Servicer and the Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor and the Trustee
its (and any such Sub-Servicer’s) most recent financial statements and such
other information relating to the Master Servicer’s or the Servicer’s capacity
to perform its obligations under this Agreement as it possesses (and that any
such Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor possesses). To the extent such information
is
not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor and the Trustee shall
not
disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences
without the Master Servicer’s or the Servicer’s written consent, except as
required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate
to
do so (i) to its legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other
governmental agencies and the Certificateholders, (ii) pursuant to any law,
rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court
or
governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor and the Trustee
or
the Trust Fund, and in any case, the Depositor or the Trustee, (iii) disclosure
of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, or information
obtained by the Trustee from sources other than the Depositor, the Servicer
or
the Master Servicer, (iv) disclosure as required pursuant to this Agreement
or
(v) disclosure of any and all information (A) in any preliminary or final
offering circular, registration statement or contract or other document
pertaining to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement approved in advance
by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer or (B) to any affiliate,
independent or internal auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Trustee
having a need to know the same, provided that the Trustee advises such recipient
of the confidential nature of the information being disclosed, shall use its
best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public
information. Nothing in this Section 7.07 shall limit the obligation of the
Servicer to comply with any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information
regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access
as
provided in this Section 7.07 as a result of such obligation shall not
constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this Section 7.07 shall
require the Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any
information that it does not generate in its usual course of business. The
Servicer shall not be required to make copies of or ship documents to any party
unless provisions have been made for the reimbursement of the costs thereof.
The
Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master
Servicer or the Servicer under this Agreement, and may, but is not obligated
to,
perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master
Servicer or the Servicer under this Agreement, or exercise the rights of the
Master Servicer or the Servicer under this Agreement; provided that neither
the
Master Servicer nor the Servicer shall be relieved of any of its obligations
under this Agreement, as applicable, by virtue of such performance by the
Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility
or
liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the
Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master
Servicer or the Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

SECTION
7.08. Duties
of
the Credit Risk Manager.
For
and
on behalf of the Depositor, the Credit Risk Manager will provide reports and
recommendations concerning certain delinquent and defaulted Mortgage Loans,
and
as to the collection of any Prepayment Charges with respect to the Mortgage
Loans. Such reports and recommendations will be based upon information provided
to the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to the Credit Risk Management Agreements,
and the Credit Risk Manager shall look solely to the Servicers and/or Master
Servicer for all information and data (including loss and delinquency
information and data) relating to the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans.
Upon any termination of the Credit Risk Manager or the appointment of a
successor Credit Risk Manager, the Depositor shall give written notice thereof
to the related Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator,
the
Trustee, and each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination
of the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to this Section shall not become
effective until the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager. Each of
the
Trustee and the Servicers is hereby authorized to enter into any Credit Risk
Management Agreement necessary to effect the foregoing.
SECTION
7.09. Limitation
Upon Liability of the Credit Risk Manager.
Neither
the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of its directors, officers, employees, or
agents shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the Certificateholders,
or
the Depositor for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action made in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, in reliance upon
information provided by the related Servicer under the related Credit Risk
Management Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect the Credit Risk Manager or any such person against
liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance
or
bad faith in its performance of its duties. The Credit Risk Manager and any
director, officer, employee, or agent of the Credit Risk Manager 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, and may rely
in good faith upon the accuracy of information furnished by the related Servicer
pursuant to the related Credit Risk Management Agreement in the performance
of
its duties thereunder and hereunder.
SECTION

of the Credit Risk Manager.
217
The
Credit Risk Manager may be removed as Credit Risk Manager by Certificateholders
holding not less than 66 2/3% of the
Voting Rights in the Trust Fund, in the exercise of its or their sole
discretion. The Certificateholders shall provide written notice of the Credit
Risk Manager’s removal to the Trustee. Upon receipt of such notice, the Trustee
shall provide written notice to the Credit Risk Manager of its removal, which
shall be effective upon receipt of such notice by the Credit Risk Manager,
with
a copy to the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer.

of
unreimbursed P&I Advances, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Advances and accrued and unpaid

Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working

the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless
written notice of any event which is in fact such the Servicer Event of Default

220

by the Depositor or the Trustee or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and
the
Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting

case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been
remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of
the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee

to
each Rating Agency, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent
permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.
On
or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all
authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with
respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or
the
Mortgage Loans or otherwise including, without limitation, the compensation
payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, shall pass to and be vested
in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation,
the
Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise,
to
execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer,
any
and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts
or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment
of
the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer
agrees promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent
to
such notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested
by
it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions under this Agreement,
and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this Agreement (provided, however,
that the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts
accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such
termination and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Section 7.03 of this Agreement, notwithstanding any such termination, with
respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this
Section 8.01(b), the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a
Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
assigned to and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such
a
Master Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice
references the Certificates, the Trust or this Agreement. The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the occurrence of a Master Servicer
Event
of Default of which it has knowledge as provided above.
222
On
and
after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Trustee
shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer (and, if
applicable, the Securities Administrator) in its capacity as Master Servicer
(and, if applicable, the Securities Administrator) under this Agreement and
the
transactions set forth or provided for herein, and all the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter shall be assumed
by the Trustee (except for any representations or warranties of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
contained in Section 2.03 and the obligation to deposit amounts in respect
of
losses pursuant to Section 3.10) by the terms and provisions hereof including,
without limitation, the Master Servicer’s obligations to make P&I Advances
no later than each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.03; provided,
however, that if the Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating
itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Trustee
shall not be obligated to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 5.03; and
provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities
caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to provide information required by
Section 8.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee as successor
to
the Master Servicer hereunder and neither the Trustee nor any other successor
master servicer shall be liable for any acts or omissions of the terminated
servicer. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Master
Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the Loans, investment earnings on the
Distribution Account and all other remuneration to which the Master Servicer
would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to act,
or
shall, if it is unable to so act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to
appoint, or appoint on its own behalf, any established housing and home finance
institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing
institution having a net worth of not less than $25,000,000 and meeting such
other standards for a successor master servicer as are set forth in this
Agreement, as the successor to such Master Servicer in the assumption of all
of
the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a master servicer.
To
the
extent that the costs and expenses of the Trustee related to the termination
of
the Master Servicer, appointment of a successor Master Servicer or the transfer
and assumption of the master servicing by the Trustee (including, without
limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and
expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the
Master Servicer as a result of a Master Servicer Event of Default and (ii)
all
costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of the master
servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required
by the successor Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in
the
servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor Master Servicer to master
service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement) are not fully
and
timely reimbursed by the terminated Master Servicer, the Trustee shall be
entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution
Account.
223
Neither
the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in
default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making,
any
distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or
any
delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case
caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver or provide, or any
delay
in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to
it.

Servicer to Act; Appointment of Successor.

as the Servicer under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable,
and the transactions set forth or provided for herein or therein, and all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter
shall be assumed by the Master Servicer (except for any representations or
warranties of the Servicer under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement,
as
applicable, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section
2.03 of this Agreement and the obligation of the related Servicer to deposit
amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.10(b) of this Agreement
or
the Servicing Agreement, as applicable) by the terms and provisions hereof

P&I Advances pursuant to Section 5.03 of this Agreement or the Servicing

prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances
regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Master Servicer shall not be
obligated to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 5.03 of this Agreement;
and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the related Servicer’s failure to provide information
required by Section 8.01 of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as
applicable, shall not be considered a default by the Master Servicer as
successor to the related Servicer hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement,
as
applicable; provided, however, that (1) it is understood and acknowledged by
the
parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed ninety
(90) days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to
the
Master Servicer or any successor Servicer appointed in accordance with the
following provisions and (2) any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the related Servicer’s failure to provide information
required by Section 8.01 of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement shall
not
be considered a default by the Master Servicer as successor to the related
Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to
the
Servicing Fee and all funds relating to the related Mortgage Loans to which
the
terminated Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act
hereunder. Notwithstanding the above and subject to the immediately following
paragraph, the Master Servicer may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or
shall, if it is unable to so act promptly appoint or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, a Person that satisfies the eligibility
criteria set forth below as the successor to the terminated Servicer under
this
Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, in the assumption of all
or
any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the terminated
Servicer under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee or the Master
Servicer be liable for any Servicing Fee or Master Servicing Fee, as applicable,
or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee or Master Servicing
Fee, as applicable, or paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any
successor Servicer or successor Master Servicer to act as successor Servicer
or
successor Master Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth
or
provided for herein.
224
Any
successor Servicer appointed under this Agreement must (i) be an established
mortgage loan servicing institution that is a ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ and Freddie Mac
approved seller/servicer, (ii) be approved by each Rating Agency by a written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that the appointment of such successor
Servicer would not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current
ratings of any outstanding Class of Certificates, (iii) have a net worth of
not
less than $25,000,000 and (iv) assume all the responsibilities, duties or
liabilities of the Servicer (other than liabilities of the Servicer hereunder
incurred prior to termination of the Servicer under Section 8.01 herein)
under this Agreement as if originally named as a party to this
Agreement.
(b)
(1) All
servicing transfer costs (including, without limitation, servicing transfer
costs of the type described in Section 8.02(a) of this Agreement and
incurred by the Trustee, the Master Servicer and any successor Servicer under
paragraph (b)(2) below) in connection with the termination of a Servicer shall
be paid by the terminated Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation
of such costs, and if such predecessor or initial Servicer, as applicable,
defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, the successor Servicer, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the
assets of the Trust Fund.
(2)
No
appointment of a successor to the Servicer under this Agreement or the Servicing
Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of
the
Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection
with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make
such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the
related Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however,
that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer
as
such hereunder or thereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor
shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary
to
effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a successor to related
Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall act in such capacity
as
hereinabove provided.
SECTION
8.03. Notification
to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon
any
termination of the Master Servicer or a Servicer pursuant to
Section 8.01(a) or (b) of this Agreement, or any appointment of a successor
to the Master Servicer or a Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02 of this
Agreement, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register.

of
such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates

or
Master Servicer Event of Default, such default, Servicer Event of Default or
Master Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to
have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend

THE TRUSTEE AND THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR
SECTION
9.01. Duties
of
Trustee and Securities Administrator.
The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default and
after
the curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have
occurred, and the Securities Administrator each undertake to perform such duties
and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement as duties
of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, respectively. During the
continuance of a Master Servicer Event of Default, the Trustee shall exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same
degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise
or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. Any
permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be
construed as a duty.
Each
of
the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to it, which are specifically required to be furnished
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine
whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such
instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in
a
material manner, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may
be, shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument
corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, the
Securities Administrator will provide notice to the Trustee thereof and the
Trustee will provide notice to the Certificateholders.
The
Trustee shall promptly remit to the related Servicer any complaint, claim,
demand, notice or other document (collectively, the “Notices”) delivered to the
Trustee as a consequence of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder and
relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans; provided than any such notice
(i) is delivered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, (ii) contains
information sufficient to permit the Trustee to make a determination that the
real property to which such document relates is a Mortgaged Property. The
Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any Notice it may receive
or which may be alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it unless
such
Notice is delivered to it or served upon it at its Corporate Trust Office and
such Notice contains the information required pursuant to clause (ii) of the
preceding sentence.
No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however,
that:
(i) Prior
to
the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, and after the curing
or
waiver of all such Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred
with respect to the Trustee and at all times with respect to the Securities
Administrator, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined
solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor
the
Securities Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of such
duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against
the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on
the
part of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator, respectively, may conclusively rely, as to
the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein,
upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, respectively, that conform to the requirements of this
Agreement;
227
(ii) Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers
of
the Trustee or an officer or officers of the Securities Administrator,
respectively, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, respectively, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
and
(iii) Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable with respect to
any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25%
of
the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or
the
Securities Administrator under this Agreement.

(a) Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 9.01 of this Agreement:
(i) Before
taking any action hereunder, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may
request and rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting
upon any resolution, Officers’ Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other

order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it
to
be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties;
(ii) The
Trustee and the Securities Administrator may consult with counsel of its

full
and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or

the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be under any obligation
to
exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to
institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto

to
the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have
offered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be,
reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses
and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained
herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default (which has not been cured
or
waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as
a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of
such person’s own affairs;
228
(iv) Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by

to
the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder and after the
curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have

shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in
any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within
a
reasonable time to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator of the costs,
expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
as applicable, not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator by such Certificateholders, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, may require reasonable indemnity satisfactory
to
it against such expense, or liability from such Certificateholders as a
condition to taking any such action;
(vi) The
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee
shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any
agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;
(vii) The
Trustee shall not be liable for any loss resulting from (a) the investment
of
funds held in the Collection Accounts, (b) the investment of funds held in
the
Distribution Account, (c) the investment of funds held in the Reserve Fund
or
(d) the redemption or sale of any such investment as therein
authorized;
(viii) The
Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default, Master Servicer

which
is in fact such a default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the
Certificates and this Agreement;
(ix) The
rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,

and
shall be enforceable by, each agent, custodian and other Person employed to
act
hereunder; and
229
(x) Should
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator deem the nature of any action
required on its part to be unclear, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
may require, prior to taking such action, that it be provided by the Depositor
with reasonable further instructions.
(b) All
rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Certificates,
enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by it without the possession of
any
of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or other proceeding
relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the
Trustee shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all the Holders of
such
Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
(c) The
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee is hereby directed to execute and deliver
the Swap Agreement on behalf of Party B (as defined therein) and to exercise
the
rights, perform the obligations, and make the representations thereunder on
behalf of Party B (as defined therein) and shall do so solely in its capacity
as
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee and not in its individual capacity.
The
Trustee, in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee pursuant to
the
Swap Agreement, hereby directs the Securities Administrator and the Securities
Administrator is hereby empowered under this Agreement to act on behalf of
the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee. Any funds payable by the Securities
Administrator on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee and in
connection with its obligations in respect of the Supplemental Interest Trust
under the Swap Agreement, shall be paid from funds of the Supplemental Interest

the
Swap Provider under the Swap Agreement.
The
Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Sponsor, the

Certificates) acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee shall execute and deliver the Swap Agreement on behalf of Party B (as
defined therein), (ii) the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall exercise
the rights, perform the obligations, and make the representations of Party

of
the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the Sponsor,
the Depositor, the Custodian or the Trustee shall be responsible for the acts
or
omissions of the others or the Swap Provider, it being understood that this
Agreement shall not be construed to render those partners joint venturers or
agents of one another.

of
the Securities Administrator, the authentication of the Securities Administrator
on the Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained in Article
II
and the representations and warranties of the Trustee in Section 9.12 of
this Agreement) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor and neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assumes any responsibility for
their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator makes
any representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Agreement (other than as specifically set forth in Sections 2.11 and 9.12

The
fees
of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator hereunder, and of the Custodian

Section 9.05 made by the Master Servicer to the Trustee in respect of the
Trustee’s fees or the Master Servicer’s indemnification obligation to the

time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall become incapable of
acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any
public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,

Securities Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor trustee or
successor securities administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in
duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator so removed and to the successor trustee or successor securities
administrator. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the

Any
successor trustee or successor securities administrator appointed as provided
in

the Depositor and its predecessor trustee or predecessor securities
administrator an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or predecessor securities
administrator shall become effective and such successor trustee or successor
securities administrator without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of
its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee
or
securities administrator herein. The predecessor trustee or predecessor
securities administrator shall deliver to the successor trustee or successor
securities administrator all Mortgage Loan Documents and related documents
and
statements to the extent held by it hereunder, as well as all monies, held
by it
hereunder, and the Depositor and the predecessor trustee or predecessor
securities administrator shall execute and deliver such instruments and do
such
other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting
and confirming in the successor trustee or successor securities administrator
all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No
successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall accept appointment
as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall be eligible under
the provisions of Section 9.06 and the appointment of such successor
trustee or successor securities administrator shall not result in a downgrading
of any Class of Certificates by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter
from
each Rating Agency.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or successor securities
administrator as provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice
of
the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at
their
addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails to mail

at
the expense of the Depositor.

or
any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be
a
party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the business of the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be the successor of the Trustee
or
the Securities Administrator hereunder, provided such corporation or association
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06 of this Agreement,
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.
SECTION
9.10. Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding
any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal
requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the REMIC I or property
securing the same may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power
and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the
Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of REMIC
I, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, and for the benefit
of the Holders of the Certificates, such title to REMIC I, or any part thereof,
and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.10, 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 9.06
hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of
co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 9.08
hereof.
In
the
case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this
Section 9.10 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, except
to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
act
or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as Trustee hereunder or
as
successor to a defaulting Master Servicer hereunder), 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 REMIC
I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the
Trustee.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively
as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee
or
co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article
IX.
Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trust
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.
235
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 or co-trustee.

the
breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party
or
which is applicable to it or any of its assets.
(iii) It
has
the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery
and
performance of this Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this

parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of it,
enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A)
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium
and
other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (B)
general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
236
(v) It
is not
in violation of, and its execution and delivery of this Agreement and its
performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute
a violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any
order, regulation or demand of any federal, state or local governmental or
regulatory authority, which violation, in its good faith and reasonable
judgment, is likely to affect materially and adversely either the ability of
it
to perform its obligations under this Agreement or its financial
condition.
(vi) No
litigation is pending or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened against
it,
which would prohibit it from entering into this Agreement or, in its good faith
reasonable judgment, is likely to materially and adversely affect either the

condition.

and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election
has been reduced to less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Scheduled
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. By acceptance

in
connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any portion
of
the Termination Price in excess of par, and to the extent received in respect
of
such termination, to pay any such amounts to the Holders of the Class CE

the Securities Administrator shall, no later than 4:00 pm New York City time

later than 1:00 pm New
York
City time on such day, deposit funds in the Distribution Account in an amount
equal to the sum of the Termination Price (other than the Swap Termination
Payment) and the Estimated Swap Termination Payment, and (ii) if the Securities
Administrator shall have determined that the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of all of the Mortgage Loans as of the related Determination Date is
not
more than 10% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans
as of
the Cut-off Date and that all other requirements of the optional termination
have been met, including without limitation, the deposit required pursuant
to
the immediately preceding clause (i) as well as the requirements specified
in
Section 10.03, then the Securities Administrator shall, on the same Business
Day, provide written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicer,
the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, the Trustee and the Swap Provider
confirming (in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Swap Agreement)
(a) its receipt of the Termination Price (other than the Swap Termination
Payment) and the Estimated Swap Termination Payment and (b) that all other
requirements of the optional termination have been met. Upon the Securities

Payment in accordance with the Swap Agreement, and the Swap Provider shall
provide to the Securities Administrator written notice of the amount of the
Swap
Termination Payment not later than one Business Day prior to the final
Distribution Date specified in the notice required pursuant to Section 10.01(f).
(e) In
connection with any optional termination, only an amount equal to the
Termination Price less any Swap Termination Payment shall be made available

Distribution Date and distributed as follows: (i) to the Supplemental Interest
Trust for payment to the Swap Provider in accordance with Section 5.07, an
amount equal to the Swap Termination Payment calculated pursuant to the Swap
Agreement, provided that in no event shall the amount distributed to the Swap
Provider in respect of the Swap Termination Payment exceed the Estimated Swap
Termination Payment, and (ii) to the Terminator an amount equal to the excess,
if any, of the Estimated Swap Termination Payment over the Swap Termination
Payment. The Swap Termination Payment shall not be part of any REMIC and shall
not be paid into any account which is part of any REMIC.
239
(f) Notice
of
the liquidation of the Certificates shall be given promptly by the Securities
Administrator by letter to the Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such
notice is given in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and each
REO Property by the Master Servicer, not earlier than the 15th day and not

or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, as if such funds had been deposited
therein (including all unpaid Servicing Fees and Master Servicing Fees and
all
outstanding P&I Advances and Servicing Advances) and (ii) any other amounts
otherwise payable by the Securities Administrator to the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, the Custodian, the Servicers and the Swap Provider from amounts on

months after the time specified in such notice, the Securities Administrator
shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders
to

notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender
of
their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust
and
of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining

Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities
Administrator shall pay to the Depositor all such amounts, and all rights of
non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease.
No
interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount
held
in trust by the Securities Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s
failure to surrender its Certificate(s) on the final Distribution Date for

payment thereof in accordance with this Section 10.01. Any such amounts
held in trust by the Securities Administrator shall be held uninvested in an
Eligible Account.

reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such
REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance issued

thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions, (ii) shall not take any action,
cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to
be
taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken,
as
the case may be, could (A) endanger the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC
or
(B) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not
limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set
forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC
Event”) unless such action or inaction is permitted under this Agreement or the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the them (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action
but in no event at the expense of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator)
to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to any Trust
REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor
(iii)
shall the Securities Administrator take or fail to take any action (whether
or
not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing
that
it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event
could occur with respect to such action; provided that the Securities
Administrator may conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and shall incur
no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with such Opinion
of
Counsel. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any Trust
REMIC
or the respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any action,
which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Securities
Administrator will consult with the Trustee or its designee, in writing, with
respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur
with
respect to any Trust REMIC, and the Securities Administrator shall not take
any
such action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the
Trustee has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
The
Trustee may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost
of
same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by
this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the
Trustee.
244
(g) In
the
event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC created
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 contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup Day therefor
pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the
Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall
be
charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.03 of this Agreement, if
such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its
obligations under this Article XI, (ii) to the Securities Administrator pursuant
to Section 11.03, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the
Securities Administrator of any of its obligations under this Article XI, (iii)

tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of
its
obligations under Article IV or under this Article XI, (iv) to Countrywide
or
any successor pursuant to Section 11.03 of this Agreement, if such tax
arises out of or results from a breach by Countrywide or any successor of any
of
its obligations under Article III or under this Article XI, or (v) in all other
cases, against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be
paid
by withdrawal therefrom.
(h) The
Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books
and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year and on an
accrual basis.
(i) Following
the Startup Day, neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall
accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other than in connection
with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with
Section 2.03 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause the
related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding or subject such REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions
or
other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or
ordinances.
(j) Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall knowingly enter into any
arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation
for services nor permit either REMIC to receive any income from assets other

“permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the
Code.

Securities Administrator shall apply for an employer identification number
with
the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other comparable method for
each

at
the expense of the Trustee) that such sale, disposition, substitution,
acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any

affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided
that any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of the Certificateholders and no such Opinion of Counsel
shall be required if the Person requesting such amendment obtains a letter
from
each Rating Agency stating that such amendment would not result in the
downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the

respect the interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto,
and no Opinion of Counsel shall be required to address the effect of any such
amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.
This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, Countrywide
or
any successor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee
and the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights
for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no

of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed
on
any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii)

consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing at least 66%
of
the Voting Rights allocated to such Class, or (iii) modify the consents required
by the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) without the consent of the
Holders of all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of
consents pursuant to this Section 12.01, Certificates registered in the
name of the Depositor or the Servicers or any Affiliate thereof shall be
entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any amendment to this
Agreement required in connection with the compliance with or the clarification
of any reporting obligations described in Section 5.06 hereof shall not
require the consent of any Certificateholder and without the need for any
Opinion of Counsel or Rating Agency confirmation.
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to
any
amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion
of
Counsel to the effect that all conditions precedent to the execution of such
amendment have been satisfied, such amendment is permitted hereunder and will
not result in the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the
REMIC
Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding and that such amendment is authorized
or
permitted by this Agreement.
247
Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall furnish a copy
of
such amendment to each Certificateholder.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this
Section 12.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.
The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
The
cost
of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to this Section 12.01

The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant
to
this Section that affects its rights, duties and immunities under this
Agreement or otherwise.
Notwithstanding
any of the other provisions of this Section 12.01, none of the parties to this
Agreement shall enter into any amendment to this Agreement that could reasonably
be expected to have a material adverse effect on the interests of the Swap
Provider hereunder (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any amendment to
this
Agreement that is entered into solely for the purpose of appointing a successor
servicer, master servicer, securities administrator, trustee or other service
provider) without the prior written consent of the Swap Provider, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Depositor at the expense
of
the Certificateholders, but only upon direction of the Trustee accompanied
by an
Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of
the
Trustee) to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects
the interests of the Certificateholders.

and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.
248
SECTION
12.03. Limitation
on Rights of Certificateholders.
The
death

Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust Fund, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided
for
herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of
the
Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein
set forth, or contained in the terms of any of the Certificates, be construed
so
as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members
of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to
any
third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this

thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have made written request
upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name
as
Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to

of
Security Interest.
It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans
by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit
of
the Certificateholders, be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans
by
the Depositor and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the
aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property
of the Depositor, then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such
conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement
shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles
8
and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the
State
of New York; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 shall be
deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust
and
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of
the
Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all
amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary,
of
the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including
without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to
time held or invested in the Collection Accounts and the Distribution Account,
whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3)
the
obligations secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of
the
Depositor’s obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to
provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to
the
Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund; and (4) 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 for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law. Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, a security
interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2)
of
the preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the
performance by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of
the
preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend
the
conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and
unconditional sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust
Fund
by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit
of
the Certificateholders.
251

the Depositor, Master Servicer, Securities Administrator and any Servicing
Function Participant engaged by such party (other than the Servicer),
respectively, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, the

of or
based upon (a) any breach by such party of any if its obligations under
hereunder, including particularly its obligations to provide any assessment of
compliance, attestation report, Annual Statement of Compliance or any
information, data or materials required to be included in any 1934 Act report,
(b) any material misstatement or omission in any information, data or materials
provided by such party (or, in the case of the Securities Administrator or
Master Servicer, any material misstatement or material omission in (i) any

or

hereunder. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or

contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator or the Depositor, as applicable, as a result of any claims,
losses, damages or liabilities incurred by such party in such proportion as
is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party on the one

the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued
upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or
not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the

As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or
agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
Prior
to
the termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust, any transferee of this
Certificate shall be deemed to make the representations in Section 6.02(c)
of

Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations

the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of
Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
the
Servicer and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee,
the
Securities Administrator or the Servicer may treat the Person in whose name
this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of
the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
the

The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of
any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of
the
Mortgage Loans (and properties acquired in respect thereof) at the time of
purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and
neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assumes any responsibility
for their correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Securities
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled

The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the

the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and
the Servicer with the consent of the Swap Provider and the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent
by
the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued
upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or
not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or
agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of
the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Act, and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is
made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification.
In
the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Securities Administrator shall require
receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon
Rule
144A under the Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate
desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B-1, (ii) if
such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Regulation S under
the
Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to
effect the transfer and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially
in the form attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B-2, (iii) if such transfer
is
purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 501(a) under the Act, written
certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the
form attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B-3 and (iv) in all other cases,
an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without
such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer
or the Securities Administrator in their respective capacities as such),
together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective
transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor,
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator is obligated to register or qualify
the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the Act or any
other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration
or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the Securities Administrator against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
A-3-6
No
transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any Person using “Plan Assets” to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in accordance with Section 6.02(c) of the Agreement.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of
Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
the
Servicer and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee,
the
Securities Administrator or the Servicer may treat the Person in whose name
this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of
the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
the
Servicer nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of
any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of
the
Mortgage Loans (and properties acquired in respect thereof) at the time of
purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and
neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume any responsibility
for their correctness.

Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Securities
Administrator by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to
any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

or the Securities Administrator in their respective capacities as such),
together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective
transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor,
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator is obligated to register or qualify
the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or
any
other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration
or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer

The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of
the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
the
Servicer and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee,
the
Securities Administrator or the Servicer may treat the Person in whose name
this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of
the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
the
Servicer nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of
any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of
the
Mortgage Loans (and properties acquired in respect thereof) at the time of
purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and
neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume any responsibility
for their correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Securities
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

All

will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency
of

This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as
Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificate of the Series specified on the face hereof
(herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest in
the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer and
the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and
the Servicer with the consent of the Swap Provider and the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent
by
the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued
upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or
not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or
agencies appointed by the Securities Administrator as provided in the Agreement,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
A-6-4
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer
of
this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the
Securities Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is
purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Act, written
certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer, and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the
forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B-1, (ii) if such transfer is
purportedly being made in reliance upon Regulation S under the Act, written
certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the
form attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B-2, (iii) if such transfer is
purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 501(a) under the Act, written
certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the
form attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B-3 and (iv) in all other cases,
an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without
such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer
or the Securities Administrator in their respective capacities as such),
together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective
transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor,
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator is obligated to register or qualify
the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or
any
other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration
or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the Securities Administrator against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made except in accordance with Section
6.02 of the Agreement.
Prior
to
registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate,
the
proposed transferee shall provide to the Securities Administrator (i) an
affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a
Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or
middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that
acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been designated as
representing the beneficial ownership of the residual interests in each of
REMIC
I, REMIC II and REMIC III, (B) it will include in its income a pro
rata
share of
the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess
inclusion,” as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects
to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those
relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall
be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not
be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited
to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
A-6-5
The
Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to have
consented to the provisions of Section 6.02 of the Agreement and to any
amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to
ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause any portion of the
Trust
Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon any
REMIC.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of
Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
the
Servicer and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee,
the
Securities Administrator or the Servicer may treat the Person in whose name
this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of
the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
the
Servicer nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of
any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of
the
Mortgage Loans (and properties acquired in respect thereof) at the time of
purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
A-6-6
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and
neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume any responsibility
for their correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Securities
Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled
to
any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
A-6-7
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this Certificate to
be
duly executed.

___________________________
being duly sworn, deposes, represents and warrants as follows:

1.
|
I
am a _____________________ of _______________________________ (the
“Owner”) a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of
_________________________, the record owner of ACE Securities Corp.
Home
Equity Loan Trust, Series 2006-NC3 Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates,
Class R Certificates (the “Class R Certificates”), on behalf of whom I
make this affidavit and agreement. Capitalized terms used but not
defined
herein have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling
and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2006, among ACE Securities
Corp., ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, N.A., Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP,
and
HSBC Bank USA, National Association, pursuant to which the Class
R
Certificates were issued.
|
|
2.
|
The
Owner (i) is and will be a “Permitted Transferee” as of
____________________. ____ and (ii) is acquiring the Class R Certificates
for its own account or for the account of another Owner from which
it has
received an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit.
A
“Permitted Transferee” is any person other than a “disqualified
organization” or a possession of the United States. For this purpose, a
“disqualified organization” means the United States, any state or
political subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any
of the
foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of the activities of
which
are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not selected
by any
such governmental entity) or any foreign government, international
organization or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign government
or organization, any real electric or telephone cooperative, or any
organization (other than certain farmers’ cooperatives) that is generally
exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject
to the
tax on unrelated business taxable
income.
|
|
3.
|
The
Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers
of the
Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 that applies to all transfers of the Class R
Certificates after April 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on
the
transferor or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person
includes
a broker, nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on
the
agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax shall be
relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to
such
person an affidavit that the transferee is a Permitted Transferee
and, at
the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge
that the
affidavit is false; and (iv) that each of the Class R Certificates
may be
a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury
regulations promulgated under the Code and that the transferor of
a
“noneconomic residual interest” will remain liable for any taxes due with
respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant
purpose of the transfer is to impede the assessment or collection
of
tax.
|
B-4-1
|
4.
|
The
Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the
Class R Certificates if, at any time during the taxable year of the
pass-through entity, a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder
of an
interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a “pass-through entity”
includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment
trust or
common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain
cooperatives.)
|
|
5.
|
The
Owner is aware that the Securities Administrator will not register
the
transfer of any Class R Certificate unless the transferee, or the
transferee’s agent, delivers to the Securities Administrator, among other
things, an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit.
The
Owner expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer
if it
knows or believes that any of the representations contained in such
affidavit and agreement are false.
|
|
6.
|
The
Owner consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that
shall
be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable
arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be
owned,
directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is a Permitted
Transferee.
|
|
7.
|
The
Owner’s taxpayer identification number is
________________.
|
|
8.
|
The
Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of the
Class R
Certificates and the provisions of Section 6.02(d) of the Pooling
and
Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued
(in
particular, clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 6.02(d) which
authorize the Securities Administrator to deliver payments to a person
other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale by the Securities
Administrator in the event that the Owner holds such Certificate
in
violation of Section 6.02(d)); and that the Owner expressly agrees
to be
bound by and to comply with such restrictions and
provisions.
|
|
9.
|
The
Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the Class R Certificates
in
order to impede the assessment or collection of any
tax.
|
|
10.
|
The
Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the Class R
Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the
holder
of such Class R Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the
benefit
of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificates that
the
Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R
Certificates as they become due, fully understanding that it may
incur tax
liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R
Certificates.
|
B-4-2
|
11.
|
The
Owner has no present knowledge that it may become insolvent or subject
to
a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the Class R
Certificates.
|
|
12.
|
The
Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be unable
to
pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the Certificates
remain outstanding.
|
|
13.
|
The
Owner is not acquiring the Class R Certificates with the intent to
transfer the Class R Certificates to any person or entity that will
not
have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such
Class R
Certificates, or that may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy
proceeding, for so long as the Class R Certificates remain
outstanding.
|
|
14.
|
The
Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the
Class R
Certificates, obtain from its transferee the representations required
by
Section 6.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which
the
Class R Certificate were issued and will not consummate any such
transfer
if it knows, or knows facts that should lead it to believe, that
any such
representations are false.
|
|
15.
|
The
Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the
Class R
Certificates, deliver to the Securities Administrator an affidavit,
which
represents and warrants that it is not transferring the Class R
Certificates to impede the assessment or collection of any tax and
that it
has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient
assets to pay any taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the
Class R
Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy
proceeding for so long as the Class R Certificates remains outstanding;
and (iii) is not a “Permitted
Transferee”.
|
|
16.
|
The
Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation,
partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of,
the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate
or
trust whose income from sources without the United States may be
included
in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless
of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within
the
United States.
|
|
17.
|
The
Owner of the Class R Certificate, hereby agrees that in the event
that the
Trust Fund created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is terminated
pursuant to Section 10.01 thereof, the undersigned shall assign and
transfer to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates and Class P
Certificates any amounts in excess of par received in connection
with such
termination. Accordingly, in the event of such termination, the Securities
Administrator is hereby authorized to withhold any such amounts in
excess
of par and to pay such amounts directly to the Holders of the Class
CE
Certificates and Class P Certificates. This agreement shall bind
and be
enforceable against any successor, transferee or assigned of the
undersigned in the Class R Certificate. In connection with any transfer
of
the Class R Certificate, the Owner shall obtain an agreement substantially
similar to this clause from any subsequent
owner.

evidence of recording indicated thereon;
(iii) unless
such Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System, the original Assignment of
Mortgage executed in blank;
(iv) the
original recorded Assignment or Assignments of the Mortgage, or a certified

of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, if any original Mortgage Note
referred to in Section 4(b)(i) above cannot be located, the obligations of
the
Seller to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery
to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser of
a

Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit was delivered to the Purchaser

transferee or designee of the Purchaser within three (3) Business Days; and

any document referred to in Section 4(b)(ii) or 4(b)(iv) above has 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 Seller hereunder
shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery to the Purchaser or any
assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof
by or on behalf of the Seller 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.
-3-
In
the
event that the original lender’s title insurance policy has not yet been issued,
the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or
designee of the Purchaser a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary
report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company. The Seller
shall deliver such original title insurance policy to the Purchaser or any
assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser promptly upon receipt by
the
Seller, if any.
Each
original document relating to a Mortgage Loan which is not delivered to the
Purchaser or its assignee, transferee or designee, if held by the Seller, shall
be so held for the benefit of the Purchaser, its assignee, transferee or
designee.
In
connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the
MERS®
System,
the Seller further agrees that it will cause, at the Seller’s own expense,
within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, the MERS® System to indicate
that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the Purchaser
and
by the Purchaser to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the
benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of
Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in
such
computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee
and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the
Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Seller further
agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Servicers or the Master

Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(c) Acceptance
of Mortgage Loans.
The
documents delivered pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof shall be reviewed by the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser at any time
before or after the Closing Date (and with respect to each document permitted
to
be delivered after the Closing Date, within seven (7) days of its delivery)
to
ascertain that all required documents have been executed and received and that
such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Closing
Schedule.
-4-
(d) Transfer
of Interest in Agreements.
The
Purchaser has the right to assign its interest under this Agreement, in whole
or
in part, to the Trustee, as may be required to effect the purposes of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of the Seller, and the
assignee shall succeed to the rights and obligations hereunder of the
Purchaser. Any expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the
Purchaser or the Trustee in connection with enforcing any obligations of the
Seller under this Agreement will be promptly reimbursed by the
Seller.
(e) Examination
of Mortgage Files.
Prior
to the Closing Date, the Seller shall either (i) deliver in escrow to the
Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for
examination the Mortgage File pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or (ii) make
such Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee
or
designee of the Purchaser for examination. Such examination may be
made by the Purchaser or the Trustee, and their respective designees, upon
reasonable notice to the Seller during normal business hours before the Closing
Date and within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date. If any such
person makes such examination prior to the Closing Date and identifies any
Mortgage Loans that do not conform to the requirements of the Purchaser as
described in this Agreement, such Mortgage Loans shall be deleted from the
Closing Schedule. The Purchaser may, at its option and without notice
to the Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting
any
partial or complete examination. The fact that the Purchaser or any
person has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete
examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser
or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser to demand repurchase
or
other relief as provided herein or under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.

SECTION
6. Representations
and Warranties of the Seller Relating to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that as to each Mortgage
Loan as of the Closing Date:
(i) Information
provided to the Rating Agencies, including the loan level detail, is true and
correct according to the Rating Agency requirements;
(ii) No
error,
omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar occurrence with
respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any person, including
without limitation the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer,
or
any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the
application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan;
-7-
(iii) Except
as
set forth on the Closing Schedule, all payments required to be made prior to
the
Cut-off Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been made;
(iv) [Reserved];
(v) There
are
no delinquent taxes, assessment liens or insurance premiums affecting the
related Mortgaged Property;
(vi) The
terms
of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been materially impaired, waived,
altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments, recorded
in
the applicable public recording office if necessary to maintain the lien
priority of the Mortgage. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or
modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required
by
the related policy. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except
in connection with an assumption agreement (approved by the title insurer to
the
extent required by the policy) and which assumption agreement has been delivered
to the Trustee;
(vii) The
Mortgaged Property is insured against loss by fire and hazards of extended
coverage (excluding earthquake insurance) in an amount which is at least equal
to the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to compensate for any damage or loss
to the improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement cost
basis or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan. If the
Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a flood hazard map or flood
insurance rate map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available), a
flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of
the
Federal Insurance Administration is in effect. All such insurance policies
contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the originator of the Mortgage Loan,
its successors and assigns as mortgagee and the Seller has not engaged in any
act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such insurance policies.
Except as may be limited by applicable law, the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense,
and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage
to maintain such insurance at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s cost and expense and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;
(viii) Each
Mortgage Loan and the related Prepayment Charge, if any, complied in all
material respects with any and all requirements of any federal, state or local
law including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, anti-predatory
lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal
credit opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the
origination and servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such
laws;
(ix) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated (other
than with respect to second lien Mortgage Loans, the subordination to the
related first lien)
or
rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released
from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument
been
executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination,
rescission or release;
-8-
(x) The
Mortgage was recorded or was submitted for recording in accordance with all
applicable laws and is a valid, existing and enforceable first or second lien
on
the Mortgaged Property including all improvements on the Mortgaged
Property;
(xi) The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, insured under the related title
policy, and enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent
that
the enforceability thereof may be limited by a bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization;
(xii) The
Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage Note
and the Mortgage and has the full right to convey, transfer and sell the
Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien
(other than with respect to second lien Mortgage Loans, the subordination to
the
related first lien), pledge, charge, claim or security interest and immediately
upon the sale, assignment and endorsement of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller
to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall have good and indefeasible title to and
be
the sole legal owner of the Mortgage Loans subject only to any encumbrance,
equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest arising out of the
Purchaser’s actions;
(xiii) Each
Mortgage Loan is covered by a valid and binding American Land Title Association
lender’s title insurance policy issued by a title insurer qualified to do
business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located. No claims
have been filed under such lender’s title insurance policy, and the Seller has
not done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of the
lender’s title insurance policy;
(xiv) There
is
no material default, breach, violation event or event of acceleration existing
under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage
of
time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration,
and
the Seller has not, nor has its predecessors, waived any material default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration;
(xv) There
are
no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor
or material provided to the related Mortgaged Property prior to the origination
of the Mortgage Loan which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate
with, the lien of the related Mortgage, except as may be disclosed in the
related title policy;
(xvi) Except
with respect to approximately 43.88% of the Mortgage Loans by aggregate
principal balance as of the Cut-off Date, which are balloon mortgage loans
and
approximately 16.72% of the Mortgage Loans by aggregate principal balance as
of
the Cut-off Date, which are interest only mortgage loans, each Mortgage Note
is
payable on the first day of each month in equal monthly installments of
principal and interest (subject to adjustment in the case of the adjustable
rate
Mortgage Loans), with interest calculated on a 30/360 basis and payable in
arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity
date over an original term from commencement of amortization to not more than
30
years and no Mortgage Loan permits negative amortization;
-9-
(xvii) The
servicing practices used in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans
have been in all respects reasonable and customary in the mortgage servicing
industry of like mortgage loan servicers, servicing similar subprime mortgage
loans originated in the same jurisdiction as the Mortgaged
Property;
(xviii) At
the
time of origination of the Mortgage Loan there was no proceeding pending for
the
total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property and, as of the date
such
Mortgage Loan was purchased by the Seller, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge
there is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation of the
Mortgaged Property;
(xix) The
Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for
the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security
provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a
deed
of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial
foreclosure;
(xx) The
Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except the
lien
of the related Mortgage referred to in subsection (x) above;
(xxi) In
the
event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under
applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently
so
serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become
payable by the Seller to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in
connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(xxii) The
Mortgage Loan is not subject to any valid right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury,
nor
will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage,
or
the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any such right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation
the
defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
defense has been asserted with respect thereto;
(xxiii) The
Mortgage Loans were underwritten in accordance with the originator’s
underwriting guidelines in effect at the time the Mortgage Loans were originated
(the “Applicable Underwriting Guidelines”), except with respect to certain of
those Mortgage Loans which had compensating factors permitting a deviation
from
the Applicable Underwriting Guidelines;
(xxiv) The
Mortgaged Property is free of material damage and waste, excepting therefrom
any
Mortgage Loan subject to an escrow withhold as shown on the Closing
Schedule;
(xxv) All
of

respect to each Group IA Mortgage Loan and Group IB Mortgage Loan, the
methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Group IA

cancellation agreement in connection with the origination of each Group

5%
limitation is calculated in accordance with Fannie Mae’s requirements as set
forth in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ Selling Guide or (2) $1,000;
(lxvii) All
fees
and charges (including finance charges) and whether or not financed, assessed,

and
regulation; and
(lxviii) With
respect to each Group IB Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer will transmit
full-file credit reporting data for each Group IB Mortgage Loan pursuant to
▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ Guide Announcement 95-19 and that for each Mortgage Loan, the related
Servicer agrees it shall report one of the following statuses each month as

(lxix) With
respect to any Group IA Mortgage Loan that contains a provision permitting
imposition of a penalty upon a prepayment prior to maturity: (a) such Group
IA
Mortgage Loan provides some benefit to the borrower (e.g., a rate or fee
reduction) in exchange for accepting such prepayment penalty; (b) such Group
IA
Mortgage Loan’s originator had a written policy of offering the borrower, or
requiring third-party brokers to offer the borrower, the option of obtaining
a
mortgage loan that did not require payment of such a penalty; (c) the prepayment
penalty was adequately disclosed to the borrower pursuant to applicable state
and federal law; (d) no Group IA Mortgage Loan originated on or after October

2002 will provide for prepayment penalties for a term in excess of three years

for prepayment penalties for a term in excess of five years; in each case unless
such Group IA Mortgage Loan was modified to reduce the prepayment period to
no
more than three years from the date of the Mortgage Note and the borrower was
notified in writing of such reduction in prepayment period; and (e) such
prepayment penalty shall not be imposed in any instance where the Group IA
Mortgage Loan is accelerated or paid off in connection with the workout of
a
delinquent Mortgage or due to the borrower’s default, notwithstanding that the
terms of such Group IA Mortgage Loan or state or federal law might permit the
imposition of such penalty;
-15-

related Servicer for each Group IA Mortgage Loan has fully furnished, and will
fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its

by a
first or second lien on the related Mortgaged Property is within Freddie Mac’s

respect to each Group IA Mortgage Loan, the borrower was not encouraged or
required to select a mortgage loan product offered by the Group IA Mortgage
Loan's originator which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy
borrowers, taking into account such facts as, without limitation, the Group
IA
Mortgage Loan's requirements and the borrower’s credit history, income, assets
and liabilities. For a borrower who seeks financing through a Group IA Mortgage
Loan originator’s higher-priced subprime lending channel, the borrower was
directed towards or offered the Group IA Mortgage Loan originator’s standard
mortgage line if the borrower was able to qualify for one of the standard
products;
(lxxiii) With
respect to a Group IA Mortgage Loan which is a second lien, (a) such second
lien
Group IA Mortgage Loan is secured by a one- to four-family residence that is

lien
mortgage Loan do not exceed Freddie Mac’s applicable loan limits for first lien
mortgage loans for properties of the same type as the related Mortgaged
Property;
(lxxiv) No
borrower under a Group IA Mortgage Loan was charged “points and fees” in an
amount greater than
(a) $1,000 or (b) 5% of the principal amount of such Group IA Mortgage Loan,

extracts, flood and tax certifications, and home inspections); the cost of
mortgage insurance or credit-risk price adjustments; the costs of title, hazard,
and flood insurance policies; state and local transfer taxes or fees; escrow
deposits for the future payment of taxes and insurance premiums; and other
miscellaneous fees and charges that, in total, do not exceed 0.25 percent of
the
loan amount; and

respect to any Group IA Mortgage Loan for which the date of the related mortgage
note is more than 1 year before the Closing Date,
(i) The
Sponsor represents that it currently operates or actively participates in an
on-going and active program or business (A) to originate mortgages, and/or
(B)
to make periodic purchases of mortgage loans from originators or other sellers,
and/or (C) to issue and/or purchase securities or bonds supported by the

low-income families (families with incomes of 80% or less of area median income)
living in low-income areas (a census tract or block numbering area in which
the
median income does not exceed 80 percent of the area median income)

very
low-income families (families with incomes of 60% or less of area median
income), and

money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses
and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Seller’s failure to
deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date. The Seller
hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest
in
the Seller’s interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument
evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller
of
its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage
Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser’s (i) right, prior
to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted by
this
Agreement and (ii) obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the
consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 8
hereof. Any Mortgage Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall
concurrently therewith be released from the security interest created
hereby. All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement
are distinct from, and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under
this
Agreement or afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may
be
exercised concurrently, independently or successively.
-20-
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of the conditions set forth in
Section 8 hereof shall have been satisfied and the Purchaser shall not have
paid
or caused to be paid the Purchase Price, or any such condition shall not have
been waived or satisfied and the Purchaser determines not to pay or cause to
be
paid the Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall immediately effect the redelivery
of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to the Purchaser has occurred, and the
security interest created by this Section 12 shall be deemed to have been
released.
SECTION
13. Notices. All
demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be
deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered to or mailed by

or that is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of

any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law
which

SECTION
15. Agreement
of Parties. The
Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such instruments
and

SECTION
17. GOVERNING
LAW. THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE
PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
(EXCLUDING THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK. THE
PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION
18. Miscellaneous.
This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. This Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter
hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge
or
termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for
purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning
hereof.
It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans
and the Swap Agreement by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section
4
hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans and the Swap
Agreement by the Seller to the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage
Loans and the Swap Agreement by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt
or
other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding
the
aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans and the Swap Agreement
are held to be property of the Seller, then (a) it is the express intent of
the
parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans and the
Swap Agreement by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to
be a
security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof
shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security
interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the Swap Agreement and all amounts payable to the holders of the
Mortgage Loans and the Swap Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof
and
all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing
into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested
in the Collection Account whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities
or other property; (3) the possession by the Purchaser or its agent of Mortgage
Notes, the related Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute
instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to
be
“possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code;
and
(4) 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 Purchaser for the
purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any
assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof
shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created
hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this
Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this
Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and
the Swap Agreement, 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 and the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
-22-
SECTION
19. Third
Party Beneficiary. The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that DBSI and each of its respective
successors and assigns shall have all the rights of a third-party beneficiary
in
respect of Section 12 of this Agreement and shall be entitled to rely upon
and
directly enforce the provisions of Section 12 of this Agreement.
-23-
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Purchaser and the Seller have caused their names to be

first above written.

APPENDIX
E — Standard & Poor’s Predatory Lending Categories
Standard
& Poor’s has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending laws in
the Jurisdictions listed below into three categories based upon a combination
of
factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated with the assignee
liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in those laws. Note
that
certain loans classified by the relevant statute as Covered are included
in
Standard & Poor’s High Cost Loan Category because they included thresholds
and tests that are typical of what is generally considered High Cost by the
industry.

disclosure requirements applicable to Party A, and cause such affiliate to
provide Swap Financial Disclosure. If permitted by Regulation AB, any required
Swap Financial Disclosure may be provided by incorporation by reference from
reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act.
(iv) Party

“Subject
to Section 6(b)(ii), Part 5(d), Part 5(e), neither Party A nor Party B is
permitted to assign, novate or transfer (whether by way of security or
otherwise) as a whole or in part any of its rights, obligations or interests
under the Agreement or any Transaction without (a) the prior written consent
of
the other party or (b) satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect
to S&P and DBRS.”
|
(ii)
|
If

that
will become legally binding upon acceptance by Party B) to be the
transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, Party B shall, at Party
A’s
written request and at Party A’s expense, take any reasonable steps
required to be taken by Party B to effect such transfer.

(g)
|
Non-Recourse.
Party A acknowledges and agree that, notwithstanding any provision
in this
Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of Party B hereunder are
limited recourse obligations of Party B, payable solely from the
Supplemental Interest Trust and the proceeds thereof, in accordance
with
the priority of payments and other terms of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and that Party A will not have any recourse to any of the
directors, officers, employees, shareholders or affiliates of the
Party B
with respect to any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, indemnities
or
other obligations in connection with any transactions contemplated
hereby.
In the event that the Supplemental Interest Trust and the proceeds
thereof, should be insufficient to satisfy all claims outstanding
and
following the realization of the account held by the Supplemental
Interest
Trust and the proceeds thereof, any claims against or obligations
of Party
B under the ISDA Master Agreement or any other confirmation thereunder
still outstanding shall be extinguished and thereafter not revive.
The
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall not have liability for
any
failure or delay in making a payment hereunder to Party A due to
any
failure or delay in receiving amounts in the account held by the
Supplemental Interest Trust from the Trust created pursuant to the
Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. This provision will survive the termination
of
this Agreement.

extent that all or a portion (in either case, the “Unfunded Amount”) of
any amount that is calculated as being due in respect of any Early
Termination Date under Section 6(e) from Party B to Party A will
be paid
by Party B from amounts other than any upfront payment paid to Party
B by
an Eligible Replacement that has entered a Replacement Transaction
with
Party B, then such Unfunded Amount shall be due on the next subsequent
Distribution Date following the date on which the payment would have
been
payable as determined in accordance with Section 6(d)(ii), and on
any
subsequent Distribution Dates until paid in full (or if such Early
Termination Date is the final Distribution Date, on such final
Distribution Date); provided, however, that if the date on which
the
payment would have been payable as determined in accordance with
Section
6(d)(ii) is a Distribution Date, such payment will be payable on
such
Distribution Date.

any other provision of this Agreement, no Early Termination Date
shall be

unless
each Swap Rating Agency has been given prior written notice of such
designation or transfer.

|
(j)
|
No
Set-off.
Except as expressly provided for in Section 2(c), Section 6 or Part
1(f)(i)(D) hereof, and notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement or any other existing or future agreement, each party
irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have to set off, net,
recoup
or otherwise withhold or suspend or condition payment or performance
of
any obligation between it and the other party hereunder against any
obligation between it and the other party under any other agreements.
Section 6(e) shall be amended by deleting the following sentence:
“The
amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and
determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any
Set-off.”.

satisfies the Rating Agency Condition with respect to S&P and
DBRS.

|
(l)
|
Notice
of Certain Events or Circumstances.
Each Party agrees, upon learning of the occurrence or existence of
any
event or condition that constitutes (or that with the giving of notice
or
passage of time or both would constitute) an Event of Default or
Termination Event with respect to such party, promptly to give the
other
Party and to each Swap Rating Agency notice of such event or condition;
provided that failure to provide notice of such event or condition
pursuant to this Part 5(l) shall not constitute an Event of Default
or a
Termination Event.
|
| (m) | Proceedings. No Relevant Entity shall institute against, or cause any other person to institute against, or join any other person in instituting against Party B, the Supplemental Interest Trust, or the trust formed pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law for a period of one year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period) and one day following payment in full of the Certificates and any Notes.

Agent or Valuation Date, at any time at which Party A (or, to the
extent
applicable, its Credit Support Provider) does not have a long-term
unsubordinated and unsecured debt rating of at least “BBB+” from S&P,
the Valuation Agent shall (A) calculate the Secured Party’s Exposure and
the S&P Value of Posted Credit Suppport on each Valuation Date based
on internal marks and (B) verify such calculations with external
marks
monthly by obtaining on the last Local Business Day of each calendar
month
two external marks for each Transaction to which this Annex relates
and
for all Posted Credit Suport; such verification of the Secured Party’s
Exposure shall be based on the higher of the two external marks.
Each
external mark in respect of a Transaction shall be obtained from
an
independent Reference Market-maker that would be eligible and willing
to
enter into such Transaction in the absence of the current derivative
provider, provided that an external ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ not be obtained from
the same
Reference Market-maker more than four times in any 12-month period.
The
Valuation Agent shall obtain these external marks directly or through
an
independent third party, in either case at no cost to Party B. The
Valuation Agent shall calculate on each Valuation Date (for purposes
of
this paragraph, the last Local Business Day in each calendar month
referred to above shall be considered a Valuation Date) the Secured
Party’s Exposure based on the greater of the Valuation Agent’s internal
marks and the external marks received. If the S&P Value on any such
Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support then held by the Secured
Party
is less than the S&P Credit Support Amount on such Valuation Date (in
each case as determined pursuant to this paragraph), Party A shall,
within
three Local Business Days of such Valuation Date, Transfer to the
Secured
Party Eligible Credit Support having an S&P Value as of the date of
Transfer at least equal to such deficiency.

provide to S&P not later than the Notification Time on the Local
Business Day following each Valuation Date its calculations of the
Secured
Party’s Exposure and the S&P Value of any Eligible Credit Support or
Posted Credit Support for that Valuation Date. The Valuation Agent
shall
also provide to S&P any external marks received pursuant to the
preceding paragraph.
