THIS
POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of October 1, 2006, among HSI ASSET
SECURITIZATION CORPORATION, as depositor (the “Depositor”),
▇▇▇▇▇
FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking association, as master servicer (in
such
capacity, the “Master
Servicer”),
as
securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities
Administrator”)
and as
custodian (in such capacity, “the Custodian”),
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ FIXED INCOME SERVICES INC., as credit risk manager (the “Credit
Risk Manager”),
and
DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, a national banking association, as

WITNESSETH:
In
consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT
The
Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the
Swap
Agreement, (ii) the Cap Agreement, (iii) the right to receive and the obligation
to pay Basis Risk Carryover Amounts, (iv) the Excess Reserve Fund Account,
(v)
the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Supplemental Interest Trust Account
(vi)
the Final Maturity Reserve Trust, and (vii) the obligations to pay Class
I
Shortfalls (collectively, the “Excluded
Trust Assets”))
shall
elect that two segregated asset pools within the Trust Fund be treated for
federal income tax purposes as comprising three real estate mortgage investment
conduits under Section 860D of the Code (each a “REMIC”
or,
in
the alternative, “REMIC 1,” REMIC 2” and “REMIC 3,” REMIC 3 also being referred
to herein as the “Upper
Tier REMIC.”)
Any
inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration
of
this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity
of such
REMIC election.
Each
Certificate, other than the Class R Certificates, represents ownership of
a
regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
In addition, each Certificate, other than the Class R, Class X and Class
P
Certificates, represents (i) the right to receive payments with respect to
any
Basis Risk Carryover Amounts (ii) the obligation to pay Class I Shortfalls,
and
(iii) the right to receive payments from the Final Maturity Reserve Fund.
The
Class R Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of residual interest
in each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the
REMIC
Provisions.
The
Upper Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Lower Tier
Interests in REMIC 2, other than the Class LT2-R interest, and each such
Lower
Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 2 for purposes
of the REMIC Provisions. REMIC 2 shall hold as its assets the uncertificated
Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1, other than the Class LT1-R interest, and
each
such Lower Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC
1.
REMIC 1 shall hold as its assets the property of the Trust Fund other than
the
Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 and the Excluded Trust
Assets.
REMIC
1:
The
following table sets forth the designations, principal balances and interest
rates for each interest in REMIC 1, each of which (other than the Class LT1-R
Lower Tier Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC
1 (the
“REMIC 1 Regular Interests”):

Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall distribute the Interest
Remittance Amount (net of expenses described in the preceding paragraph)
with
respect to each of the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 based on the
above-described interest rates.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the Principal
Remittance Amount with respect to the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1,
first to
the Class LT1-A Interest until its principal balance is reduced to zero,
and
then sequentially, to the other Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 in ascending
order of their numerical class designation, and, with respect to each pair
of
classes having the same numerical designation, in equal amounts to each
such
class, until the principal balance of each such class is reduced to zero.
All
losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the Lower Tier Interests
in REMIC 1 in the same manner that principal distributions are
allocated.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the Prepayment
Premiums collected during the preceding Prepayment Period to the Class
LT1-F42
and Class LT1-V42 Lower Tier Interests, respectively.

For
any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period)
the
interest rate for each of these Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2
is a per
annum rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates
on the
Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 for such Distribution Date; provided,
however,
that (i) for any Distribution Date on which the Class LT2-IO Interest
is
entitled to a portion of the interest accruals on a Lower Tier
Interest in
REMIC 1 having an “F” in its class designation, as described in footnote
two below, such weighted average shall be computed by first subjecting
the
rate on such Lower Tier Interest in REMIC 1 to a cap equal to Swap
LIBOR
for such Distribution Date, and (ii) for any Distribution Date
on which
the Class LT2-Reserve-IO interest is entitled to receive interest,
as
described in footnote six below, such weighted average shall be
reduced by
0.80%.
|
|
(2)
|
The
Class LT2-IO is an interest only class that does not have a principal
balance. For only those Distribution Dates listed in the first
column in
the table below, the Class LT2-IO shall be entitled to interest
accrued on
the Lower Tier Interest in REMIC 1 listed in second column in the
table
below at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the
interest
rate for such Lower Tier Interest in REMIC 1 for such Distribution
Date
over (ii) Swap LIBOR for such Distribution
Date.

The
Class LT2-R interest is the sole class of residual interests in
REMIC 2.
It does not have an interest rate or a principal balance.
|
|
(4)
|
This
Lower Tier Interest shall have an initial class principal amount
equal to
one-half of the initial Class Principal Amount of its Corresponding
Class
of Certificates.
|
|
(5)
|
This
Lower Tier Interest shall have an initial class principal amount
equal to
the excess of (i) the Pool Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off
Date, over (ii) the aggregate initial Class Principal Amount of
each other
regular interest in REMIC 2 (other than any interest-only Lower
Tier
Interest).
|
|
(6)
|
The
Class LT2-Reserve-IO is an interest only class that does not have
a
principal balance. For only those Distribution Dates on or after
the
Distribution Date in November 2016 to and including the Distribution
Date
in October 2036, the Class LT2-Reserve-IO shall have a notional
principal
balance equal to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage
Loans having an original term to maturity of 40 years and shall
accrue
interest on such notional principal balance at a per annum rate
of
0.80%.
|
On
each
Distribution Date, interest shall be distributed on the Lower Tier Interests
in
REMIC 2 based on the above-described interest rates; provided,
however,
that
interest that accrues on the Class LT2-Q Interest shall be deferred in an
amount
equal to one-half of the increase, if any, in the Overcollateralization Amount
for such Distribution Date. Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest
at the interest rate for the Class LT2-Q Interest. An amount equal to the
interest so deferred shall be distributed as additional principal on the
other
Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2 having a principal balance in the manner
described under priority (a) below.
-6-
On
each
Distribution Date principal shall be distributed, and Realized Losses shall
be
allocated, among the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2 in the following order
of
priority:
(a) First,
to
the Class LT2-I-A-1, Class LT2-I-A-2, Class LT2-II-A1, Class LT2-II-A2, Class
LT2-II-A3, Class LT2-II-A4, , Class LT2-II-A5, Class LT2-M1, Class LT2-M2,
Class LT2-M3, Class LT2-M4, Class LT2-M5, Class LT2-M6, Class LT2-M7, Class
LT2-M8, Class LT2-M9, and Class LT2-M10 Interests until the principal balance
of
each such Lower Tier Interest equals one-half of the Class Principal Amount
of
the Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately after such Distribution
Date; and
(b) Second,
to the Class LT2-Q Interests, any remaining amounts.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have
distributed the Prepayment Premiums passed through with respect to the Class
LT1-F42 and Class LT1-V42 Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 on such Distribution
Date to the Class LT2-Q Interest.
Upper
Tier REMIC
The
Upper
Tier REMIC shall issue the following Classes of Upper Tier REMIC Regular
Interests and each such interest, other than the Class R Interest, is hereby
designated as a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC.

The
Class I-A Interest will bear interest during each Interest Accrual
Period
at a per annum rate equal to (a) on or prior to the Optional
Termination Date, the lesser of (i) LIBOR plus the applicable
Interest Margin and (ii) the Group I Available Funds Cap or
(b) after the Optional Termination Date, the lesser of (i) LIBOR
plus the applicable Interest Margin and (ii) the Group I Available
Funds Cap. For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the reference
to “Group I
Available Funds Cap” in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be
deemed a reference to the REMIC 2 Net Funds Cap; therefore, on
any
Distribution Date on which the Interest Rate for the Class I-A
Certificates exceeds the REMIC 2 Net Funds Cap, interest accruals
based on
such excess shall be treated as having been paid from the Excess
Reserve
Fund Account or the Supplemental Interest Trust, as applicable;
on any
Distribution Date on which the Interest Rate on the Class I-A
Certificates
is based on the Group I Available Funds Cap, the amount of interest
that
would have accrued on the Class I-A Certificates if the REMIC
2 Net Funds
Cap were substituted for the Group I Available Funds Cap shall
be treated
as having been paid by the Class I-A Certificateholders to the
Supplemental Interest Trust, all pursuant to and as further provided
in
Section 8.11 hereof.

Funds Cap. For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the reference
to “Group

deemed a reference to the REMIC 2 Net Funds Cap; therefore, on
any
Distribution Date on which the Interest Rate for the Class II-A-1
Certificates exceeds the REMIC 2 Net Funds Cap, interest accruals
based on
such excess shall be treated as having been paid from the Excess
Reserve
Fund Account or the Supplemental Interest Trust, as applicable;
on any
Distribution Date on which the Interest Rate on the Class II-A-1
Certificates is based on the Group II Available Funds Cap, the
amount of
interest that would have accrued on the Class II-A-1 Certificates
if the
REMIC 2 Net Funds Cap were substituted for the Group II Available
Funds
Cap shall be treated as having been paid by the Class II-A-1

have an
initial principal balance of $15,914,838.14 (initial overcollateralization
of $15,914,938.14 less $100.00 attributable to the Class P Principal
Amount), and the right to receive distributions of such amount
represents
a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. The Class X Certificate
shall
also comprise two notional components, each of which represents
a regular
interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. The first such component has
a notional
balance that will at all times equal the aggregate of the Class
Principal
Amounts of the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2, and, for each
Distribution
Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period) this notional
component
shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the excess,
if any, of
(i) (a) the weighted average of the interest rates on the Lower
Tier
Interests in REMIC 2 (other than any interest-only regular interest)
minus
(b) the Credit Risk Manager’s Fee over (ii) the Adjusted Lower Tier WAC.
The second notional component represents the right to receive
all
distributions in respect of the Class LT2-IO in REMIC 2 (the
“LT3-I”
interest). In addition, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions,
the Class X
Certificate shall represent beneficial ownership of (i) the Excess
Reserve
Fund Account; (ii) the Supplemental Interest Trust, including
the Swap
Agreement, Swap Account, Cap Agreement, and Cap Account, and
(iii) an
interest in the notional principal contracts described in Section
8.11
hereof.

does not bear a stated Interest Rate. The Class R Certificate
will be
issued as a single certificate evidencing the initial Percentage
Interest
of such Class, and shall represent ownership of each of the Class
R, Class
LT1-R, and Class LT2-R Interests.
|
|
(10)
|
The
Class P Interest shall not bear interest at a stated Interest
Rate.
Prepayment Charges paid with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall
be paid
to the Class P Certificateholders as provided in Section 4.02(b).
For
purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the Class P Interest shall
represent a
regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC. The Class P Certificate
will
have a Class P Principal Amount of
$100.
|
|
(11)
|
Each
of these Certificates will represent not only the ownership of
the
Corresponding Class of Upper Tier REMIC Regular Interest but also the
right to receive payments from (i) the Excess Reserve Fund Account
in
respect of any Basis Risk Carryover Amounts and (ii) the Supplemental
Interest Trust in respect of proceeds from the Derivative Agreements.
For
federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator will
treat a
Certificateholder’s right to receive payments from the Excess Reserve Fund
Account as payments made pursuant to an a notional principal
contract
written by the Class X
Certificateholders.

The
minimum denomination for each Class of Certificates, other than the
Class P, Class R and the Class X Certificates, will be $25,000 of
Certificate Balance ($100,000 with respect to initial investors resident
in a
Member State of the European Economic Area subject to the EU Prospectus
Directive 2003/71/EC) with integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof,
except
that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount. The
minimum denomination for each of the Class P and Class X Certificates
will be a 10.00% Percentage Interest in such Class, and the minimum denomination
for the Class R Certificates shall be 100% Percentage Interest in such
Class.

if, for
such purpose, it were the Depositor.

recordation or because such Mortgage has been lost or because such public
recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage, the Depositor shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian, (A) in the case of a
delay caused by the public recording office, a copy of such Mortgage certified
by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, escrow agent, title insurer or closing

shall forward to the Custodian additional original documents, additional
documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension
of
a Mortgage Loan, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Transfer
Agreements and the Servicing Agreements, upon receipt of such documents.
All
such mortgage documents held by the Custodian as to each Mortgage Loan shall
constitute the “Custodial
File”.
Assignments
of Mortgage shall not be required to be completed and submitted for recording
with respect to any Mortgage Loan if the Trustee and each Rating Agency have
received an Opinion of Counsel from the Depositor, satisfactory in form and
substance to the Trustee and each Rating Agency to the effect that the
recordation of such Assignments of Mortgage in any specific jurisdiction
is not
necessary to protect the Trust Fund’s interest in the related Mortgage Note. If
the Assignment of Mortgage is to be recorded, the Mortgage shall be assigned
by
the Mortgage Loan Seller to “Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of October 1, 2006, for

also
made by a Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the related Mortgage Loan.
It is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties of the Sponsor
set
forth in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement and assigned to the Trustee
by the
Depositor hereunder shall survive the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the
Depositor to the Trustee on the Closing Date, and shall inure to the benefit

warranties set forth in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement, the party
discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the others. Within
30 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Sponsor of
any breach of any of the foregoing representations or warranties that materially
and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest of the
Trustee or the Certificateholders therein, the Sponsor shall use its best
efforts to cure such breach in all material respects and, if such defect
or
breach cannot be remedied, the Sponsor shall, at the Depositor’s instructions as
specified in writing and provided to the Sponsor and the Trustee, (i) if
such 30-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing

remove such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place
a
Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the same manner and subject to the same conditions
set forth in this Section 2.03 or (ii) repurchase such Mortgage Loan

and agreed that the obligations of the Sponsor under this Agreement to cure,
repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach of a
representation and warranty has occurred and is continuing, together with
any
related indemnification obligations of the Sponsor set forth in Section 2.03(b),
shall constitute the sole remedies against the Sponsor available to the

AND SERVICING
OF
MORTGAGE LOANS
Section
3.01 Establishment
of Certain Accounts.
(a) (i) The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain
the Excess Reserve Fund Account as an asset of the Supplemental Interest
Trust,
on behalf of the Class X Certificateholders, to receive any Basis Risk
Payment and to secure their limited recourse obligation to pay to the LIBOR
Certificateholders any Basis Risk Carryover Amounts. The Excess Reserve Fund
Account shall be funded on the Closing Date with an initial deposit of $1,000
by
the Depositor.
(ii) On
each
Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall deposit the amount
of any
Basis Risk Payment for such date into the Excess Reserve Fund
Account.
-55-
(b) (i) On
each
Distribution Date on which there exists a Basis Risk Carryover Amount on
any
Class of LIBOR Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall
(1) withdraw from the Distribution Account and deposit in the Excess
Reserve Fund Account, as set forth in Section 4.02(a)(iii)(D), the lesser
of (x) the Class X Distributable Amount (without regard to the
reduction in the definition thereof with respect to the Basis Risk Payment
(to
the extent remaining after the distributions specified in
Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(A)
through (H)) and (y) the aggregate Basis Risk Carryover Amounts for such
Distribution Date and (2) withdraw from the Excess Reserve Fund Account
amounts necessary to pay to such Class or Classes of LIBOR Certificates the
applicable Basis Risk Carryover Amount. Such payments shall be allocated
to
those Classes on a pro rata
basis
based upon the amount of Basis Risk Carryover Amount owed to each such
Class and shall be paid in the priority set forth in
Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(D).
(ii) The
Securities Administrator shall account for the Excess Reserve Fund Account
as an
asset of a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of subchapter J
of the Code and not as an asset of any REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement.
The beneficial owners of the Excess Reserve Fund Account are the Class X
Certificateholders. For all federal tax purposes, amounts transferred by
the
Upper Tier REMIC to the Excess Reserve Fund Account shall be treated as
distributions by the Securities Administrator to the Class X
Certificateholders.
(iii) Any
Basis
Risk Carryover Amounts paid by the Securities Administrator to the LIBOR
Certificateholders shall be accounted for by the Securities Administrator
as
amounts paid first to the Holders of the Class X Certificates and then to
the respective Class or Classes of LIBOR Certificates and Interest-Only
Certificates. In addition, the Securities Administrator shall account for
such
Certificateholders’ rights to receive payments of Basis Risk Carryover Amounts
as rights in a limited recourse notional principal contract written by the
Class X Certificateholders in favor of such
Certificateholders.
(iv) Notwithstanding
any provision contained in this Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall
not be required to make any payments to and from the Excess Reserve Fund
Account
except as expressly set forth in this Section 3.01(b) and
Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(D) and (H).
(c) The
Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain the Distribution Account
on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall, promptly
upon
receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the
following:
(i) the
aggregate amount remitted by the Servicers to the Master Servicer pursuant
to
the Servicing Agreements ;
(ii) any
amount deposited by the Servicers pursuant to the Servicing Agreements in
connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; and
(iii) any
other
amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in the
Distribution Account.
-56-
In
the
event that a Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted,
it may
at any time direct the Securities Administrator in writing to withdraw such
amount from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering notice
to the
Securities Administrator which describes the amounts deposited in error in
the
Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall
be
held by the Securities Administrator in trust for the Certificateholders
until
disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with
Section 4.02.
Section
3.02 Investment
of Funds in the Distribution Account.
(a) The Securities Administrator may invest funds in the Distribution
Account during the Securities Administrator’s Float Period, in one or more
Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing,
unless payable on demand, 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; provided,
however,
that
any such Permitted Investment managed by or advised by the Securities
Administrator or any of its Affiliates may mature, unless payable on demand,
no
later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from
such
account pursuant to this Agreement. All such Permitted Investments shall
be held
to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in the
Distribution Account shall be made in the name of the Securities Administrator.
The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to sole possession over each
such
investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such
investment shall be delivered directly to the Securities Administrator or
its
agent, as applicable, together with any document of transfer necessary to
transfer title to such investment to the Securities Administrator or its
agent,
as applicable. In the event amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account
are
at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Securities
Administrator may:
|
(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 that such Permitted Investment
would
not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter
on
deposit in the Distribution
Account.
|
(b) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Distribution Account held by the Securities Administrator during the Securities
Administrator’s Float Period, shall be for the benefit of the Securities
Administrator, and shall be subject to the Securities Administrator’s withdrawal
in the manner set forth in Section 4.01. Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 3.02(b), the Securities Administrator shall be liable to the Trust
for
any loss on any funds it has invested under this Section 3.02(b) only during
the
Securities Administrator Float Period, and the Securities Administrator shall
deposit in the Distribution Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred
in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such account
immediately upon realization of such loss.
-57-
(c) The
Securities Administrator or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional
compensation that could be deemed to be in the Securities Administrator’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 for payable pursuant to this
Agreement.

-60-
(b) The
Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee shall immediately
notify

any
such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel
fees,
and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may
be
entered against it or them in respect of such claim. If the Master Servicer

any such indemnified party have a conflict of interest with respect to any
such
claim, the indemnified party shall have the right to retain separate
counsel.

were
not received as of the close of business on the related Determination Date,
plus
(ii) with respect to each REO Property, which REO Property was acquired

Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the Collection
Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution (in
which
case, it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the
Collection Account that Amounts Held for Future Distribution have been, as
permitted by this Section 3.07, used by it in discharge of any such P&I
Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and

the
extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement, 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. To the extent provided in the related
Servicing Agreement, the determination by any Servicer that it has made a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any
proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance,
respectively, shall be evidenced by a Servicing Officer’s certificate of the

to
the Class I-A Certificates until the Class Certificate Balance
thereof has
been reduced to zero;

(I) to
the
holders of the Class R Certificates, any remaining amount;
If
on any
Distribution Date, as a result of the foregoing allocation rules, any
Class of Class A Certificates does not receive in full the related
Senior Interest Payment Amount, then such shortfall will be allocated to
the
Holders of such Class, with interest thereon, on future Distribution Dates,
as
Interest Carry Forward Amounts, subject to the priorities described
above.
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, prior to any distributions on any other Class of

the
Stepdown Date, as long as no Trigger Event is in effect, principal distributions
to the holders of the Certificates of either Certificate Group will be
determined based on the Group I Senior Principal Payment Amount or Group
II
Senior Principal Payment Amount, as applicable. However, if the Class
Certificate Balances of the Certificates in either Certificate Group are
reduced
to zero before the Stepdown Date, then the remaining amount of principal
distributions distributable to the Certificates of the retired Certificate
Group
on that Distribution Date, and on all subsequent Distribution Dates, will
be
distributed to the holders of the Certificates in the other Certificate
Group
remaining outstanding, in accordance with the principal distribution priorities
described in Section 4.02(a)(ii)(A)(b) for such Certificate Group and this
Section 4.02(c). If the Class Certificate Balances of the Certificates
in either
Certificate Group are reduced to zero on or after the Stepdown Date, then
the
remaining amount of principal distributions distributable to the Certificates
of
the retired Certificate Group on that Distribution Date, and all subsequent
Distribution Dates, will be distributed to the holders of the Certificates
of
the Certificate Group remaining outstanding, in accordance with the priorities
described in Section 4.02(a)(ii)(B)(b) for such Certificate Group and this
Section 4.02(c), but without regard to the related Certificate Group’s Principal
Payment Amount.
-66-
Any
principal distributions allocated to the Group II Certificates will be
allocated
sequentially as follows:
(i) to
the
Class II-A-1 Certificates, until the Class Certificate Balance of such
Class has
been reduced to zero;
(ii)
to the
Class II-A-2 Certificates, until the Class Certificate Balance of such
Class has
been reduced to zero;
(iii) to
the
Class II-A-3 Certificates, until the Class Certificate Balance of such
Class has
been reduced to $42,164,00;
(iv) to
the
Class II-A-5 Certificates, until the Class Certificate Balance of such
Class has
been reduced to zero;

Class has
been reduced to zero; and
(vi) to
the
Class II-A-4 Certificates, until the Class Certificate Balance of such
Class has
been reduced to zero.
Notwithstanding
the above paragraph, on and after the Distribution Date on which the aggregate
Class Certificate Balances of the Class M Certificates and the
Overcollateralization Amount have been reduced to zero, any principal
distributions allocated to the Group II Certificates are required to be
allocated pro
rata
among
the Classes of Group II Certificates, based upon their respective Class
Certificate Balances.
(d) On
any
Distribution Date, any Relief Act Shortfalls and Net Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls for such Distribution Date shall be allocated by the Securities
Administrator as a reduction in the following order:

to the
amount of interest payable to the Class X Certificates; and

Securities Administrator shall distribute any Swap Amount and Cap Amount
for
such date as follows:

in
which the above statement is distributed in order to make such distribution
more
convenient and/or more accessible, and the Securities Administrator shall
provide timely and adequate notification to the Certificateholders and
the
parties hereto regarding any such changes. A paper copy of the statement
will
also be made available upon request.
(d) Within
a
reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Securities
Administrator shall, upon request, cause to be furnished to each Person
who at
any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder, a statement
containing the information set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) and (a)(vi)

Section
4.04 Certain
Matters Relating to the Determination of LIBOR.
LIBOR
shall be calculated by the Securities Administrator in accordance with
the
definition of LIBOR. Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full,
the
Securities Administrator will at all times retain at least four Reference
Banks
for the purpose of determining LIBOR with respect to each LIBOR Determination
Date. The Securities Administrator initially shall designate the Reference
Banks
(after consultation with the Depositor). Each “Reference
Bank”
shall
be a leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the
international Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by,
or be
under common control with, the Securities Administrator and shall have
an
established place of business in London. If any such Reference Bank should
be
unwilling or unable to act as such or if the Securities Administrator should
terminate its appointment as Reference Bank, the Securities Administrator
shall
promptly appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference Bank (after
consultation with the Depositor). The Securities Administrator shall have
no
liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any
Reference Bank for purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to
retain at least four Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond
its
reasonable control.
-72-
The
Interest Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each Interest
Accrual Period shall be determined by the Securities Administrator on each
LIBOR
Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are outstanding on
the
basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding
to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in
the
Preliminary Statement. The Securities Administrator shall not have any
liability
or responsibility to any Person for its inability, following a good-faith
reasonable effort, to obtain quotations from the Reference Banks or to
determine
the arithmetic mean referred to in the definition of LIBOR, all as provided
for
in this Section 4.04 and the definition of LIBOR. The establishment of
LIBOR and each Interest Rate for the LIBOR Certificates by the Securities
Administrator shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive
and
binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.

by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities

Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall
be
cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Securities Administrator in

(b) No
transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is
made

Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of the Class X or
Class P Certificates to the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee, or (iii) a
transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates from the NIM Issuer or

event
that a transfer of a Private Certificate which is a Physical Certificate
is to
be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such
laws, in
order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the
Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall certify to the
Securities Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the transfer
in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit H (the “Transferor
Certificate”)
and
either (i) there shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator a
letter in substantially the form of Exhibit I-A (the “Rule 144A
Investment Letter”)
or
Exhibit I-B (the “Regulation
S Investment Letter”)
or
(ii) there shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator at the
expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel stating that such transfer
may
be made without registration under the Securities Act. In the event that
a
transfer of a Private Certificate which is a Book-Entry Certificate is
to be
made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws,
in
order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the
Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer will be deemed to have
made
as of the transfer date each of the certifications set forth in the Transferor
Certificate in respect of such Certificate and the transferee will be deemed
to
have made as of the transfer date each of the certifications set forth
in the
Rule 144A Investment Letter or Regulation S Investment Letter, as
applicable, in respect of such Certificate, in each case as if such Certificate
were evidenced by a Physical Certificate. As directed by the Depositor,
the
Securities Administrator shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate
and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information
regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other
information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility
set
forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without
registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration
exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee shall cooperate with the Securities Administrator in providing
the
Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including
providing to the Securities Administrator such information regarding the
Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust
Fund as
the Securities Administrator shall reasonably determine to meet its obligation
under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring
to
effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee, each Servicer, the Master Servicer and the
Depositor
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

Except
with respect to (i) the transfer of the Class X, Class P or
Class R Certificates to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor,
(ii) the transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates to the
NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee, or (iii) a transfer of the Class X or
Class P Certificates from the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee to the
Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, no transfer of an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall have
received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such
Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Securities Administrator (in the event such Certificate is a Private Certificate
or a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the Securities
Administrator’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee
substantially in the form of Exhibit I-A or Exhibit I-B), to the effect
that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject
to
Section 406 of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a
plan subject to any Federal, state or local law (“Similar
Law”)
materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code, nor
a
person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement nor using the assets
of
any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer, or (ii) in the case
of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate (other than a Residual Certificate,
Class X
Certificate or a Class P Certificate) that has been the subject of an
ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, and the purchaser is an insurance company,
a
representation that the purchaser is an insurance company that is purchasing
such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account”
(as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption (“PTCE”)
95-60)
and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under
Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any such
ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a Residual Certificate, Class X
Certificate or Class P Certificate presented for registration in the name
of an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan or
arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions
of any subsequent enactments), or a plan subject to Similar Law, or a trustee
of
any such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan or
arrangement or using such plan’s or arrangement’s assets, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not
be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Servicer,
the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Securities
Administrator, to the effect that the purchase or holding of such
ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-exempt
prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of the
Code or any Similar Law and will not subject the Trustee, the Depositor,
the
Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or any Servicer to any obligation
in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability.
For purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate that is not a Physical Certificate or a Residual Certificate,
in the
event the representation letter referred to in the preceding sentence is
not
furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the
Securities Administrator by the transferee’s (including an initial acquirer’s)
acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding anything
else
to the contrary herein, (a) any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate that is a Physical Certificate, other than a Class P
Certificate, Class X Certificate or Residual Certificate, to or on behalf
of an
employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, the Code or Similar Law without
the
delivery to the Securities Administrator of a representation letter or
an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator as described
above shall be void and of no effect and (b) any purported transfer of a
Class P Certificate, Class X Certificate or Residual Certificate to a
transferee that does not make the representation in clause (i) above
shall be void and of no effect.
-80-
None
of
the Class R, Class X or Class P Certificates may be sold to any
employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, any plan subject to
Section 4975 of the Code, or any plan subject to any Similar Law or any
person investing on behalf or with plan assets of such plan.
No
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate shall be made unless
the
Securities Administrator shall have received a representation letter from
the
transferee of such Certificate, substantially in the form set forth in
Exhibit
I-A or Exhibit I-B, to the effect that either (i) such transferee is neither
an
employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA, a
plan
subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to Similar Law nor
a
Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any such
Plan to
effect such transfer or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the ERISA-Restricted
Trust Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief under the statutory
exemption for nonfiduciary service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of
ERISA
and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇-▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇-▇, ▇▇▇▇ 91-38,
PTCE
95-60 or PTCE 96-23 or some other applicable exemption. Notwithstanding
anything
else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted
Trust
Certificate on behalf of such Plan without the delivery to the Securities
Administrator of a representation letter as described above shall be void
and of
no effect. If the ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate is a Book-Entry
Certificate, the transferee will be deemed to have made a representation
as
provided in clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, as applicable.
If
any
ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired
or held
in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the next preceding
permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that
Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial
owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of an
ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate, or interest therein, was effected in
violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify
to the
extent permitted by law and hold harmless the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee, each Servicer and the Master Servicer from
and
against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by
such
parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.
To
the
extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA),
the Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person
for any
registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate or ERISA-Restricted
Trust Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or
for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or
taking
any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this
Agreement so long as, in the case of a Physical Certificate, the transfer
was
registered by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the foregoing
requirements.
-81-
(c) Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of
each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Securities
Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee;
(ii) No
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing
Date or thereafter transferred, and the Securities Administrator shall
not
register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to
the
certificates required to be delivered to the Securities Administrator under
subparagraph (b) above, the Securities Administrator shall have been
furnished with an affidavit (a “Transfer
Affidavit”)
of the
initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit G;
(iii) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to
whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom
such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any
Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual
knowledge that such Person is a Non-Permitted Transferee;
(iv) Any
attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) shall be
absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee.
If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate
in
violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the last
preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder
thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual
Certificate. The 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 Section 5.02(a) and this Section 5.02(c) or for
making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking
any
other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement
so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer
Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and the Rule 144A Letter. The Securities
Administrator shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder
of
a Residual Certificate that was in fact a Non-Permitted Transferee at the
time
it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became a Non-Permitted
Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after
either
such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator
shall
be paid and delivered by the Securities Administrator to the last preceding
Permitted Transferee of such Certificate; and
-82-
(v) The
Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of
written
request from the Securities Administrator, all information necessary to
compute
any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer
of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is
a
Non-Permitted Transferee.
The
restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this
Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the
legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers
occurring after delivery to the Securities Administrator of an Opinion
of
Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust
Fund, the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator or any Servicer, to the effect that
the
elimination of such restrictions will not cause any REMIC created hereunder
to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding
or
result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder
or
another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest
in a
Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement
which,
based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Securities Administrator,
is
reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any
beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly
or
indirectly, to a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee and (b) to
provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which
is
held by a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is
a
Permitted Transferee.
(d) The
preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above
in
this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of
the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except
as
provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered
in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times:
(i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the
Securities Administrator except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository
shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners
and
with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates;
(iii) ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry
Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable
rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its
usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants;
(v) the Securities Administrator shall deal with the Depository, Depository
Participants and indirect participating firms as representatives of the
Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising
the
rights of holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for
and
votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if
they are
made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Securities
Administrator may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information
furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants
and
furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating
firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms
as
direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
-83-
All
transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made
in
accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant
or
brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant
shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents
or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the
Depository’s normal procedures.
If
(x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Securities
Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able
to
properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the
Securities Administrator or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified
successor, or (y) the Depositor notifies the Depository (and the Securities
Administrator consents) of its intent to terminate the book-entry system
through
the Depository and, upon receipt of notice of such intent from the Depository,
the Depository Participants holding beneficial interests in the Book-Entry
Certificates agree to initiate such termination, the Securities Administrator
shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence
of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully registered
Certificates (the “Definitive
Certificates”)
to
Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Securities
Administrator of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the
Securities Administrator shall issue the Definitive Certificates. None
of the
Servicers, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator shall be liable
for any
delay in delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively rely on,
and
shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Depositor shall
provide
the Securities Administrator with an adequate inventory of Certificates
to
facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. 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;
provided,
that
the Securities Administrator shall not by virtue of its assumption of such
obligations become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of
the
Depository.
(f) Each
Private Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or
exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer and
accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (and all appropriate attachments)
or W-9 in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, duly executed
by
the Certificateholder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each
Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Securities Administrator
in accordance with its customary practice. No service charge shall be made
for
any registration of transfer or exchange of Private 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 Private Certificates.
Section
5.03 Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If
(a) 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
(b) there is delivered to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold
each
of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Securities Administrator
that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide 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 like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection
with the
issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, 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 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of
ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or
destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section
5.04 Persons
Deemed Owners.
The
Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and any agent of the
Trustee, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person
in
whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for
the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and
for all
other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator nor any agent of the Trustee, the Depositor or
the
Securities Administrator shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

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

of any
such office or agency.

Section
7.01 Master
Servicer to Act; Appointment of Successor(a) .
(a) The
Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable,
shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of any Servicer
under
the applicable Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions
of such Servicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this
Agreement. Upon termination of a Servicer under the applicable Servicing
Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer),
as
applicable, shall, subject to the rights of the Master Servicer or the
Trustee
(as successor master servicer), as applicable, to appoint a successor servicer
pursuant to this Section 7.01, be the successor to such Servicer in its
capacity
as servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, provided,
however,
that
the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as
applicable, shall not be (i) liable for losses of the predecessor Servicer
with
respect to such predecessor’s investment of funds in its Collection Account;
(ii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans
hereunder, including but not limited to repurchases or substitutions pursuant
to
Section 2.03, (iii) responsible for expenses of the predecessor servicer
related
to any repurchase or substitution of Mortgage Loans hereunder, including
but not
limited to repurchases or substitutions pursuant to Section 2.03, (iv)
deemed to
have made any of the representations and warranties of the terminated Servicer
under the applicable Servicing Agreement or (v) liable for any obligations
of
the predecessor Servicer incurred prior to its termination. It is understood
and
acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition
before the transfer of servicing obligations is fully effective. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master
servicer), as applicable, will have a period (not to exceed 90 days) to
complete the transfer of all servicing data and correct or manipulate such
servicing data as may be required by the Master Servicer or the Trustee
(as
successor master servicer), as applicable, to correct any errors or
insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise enable the Master Servicer
or
the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, to service the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. Except
as
provided in Section 7.01(c) below, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as
successor master servicer), as applicable, shall be entitled to be reimbursed
from each Servicer (or by the Trust Fund, if such Servicer is unable to
fulfill
such obligation) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing
from
the predecessor servicer, including without limitation, any 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
Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable,
to
correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise
to
enable the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer),
as
applicable, to service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively. As
compensation in its role as successor servicer, the Master Servicer or
the
Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, shall be entitled
to the
applicable Servicing Fee and any income on investments or gain related
to the
related Collection Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master
Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable,
has
become the successor to a Servicer pursuant to an Event of Default, the
Master
Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable,
may, if
it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable
law
from making P&I Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to the applicable
Servicing Agreement, if it is otherwise unable to so act, or at the written
request of Certificateholders entitled to at least a majority of the Voting
Rights, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint,
any
established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which
does
not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each
Rating
Agency, as the successor to the Servicer under the applicable Servicing
Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities,
duties
or liabilities of such Servicer thereunder. Any successor to a Servicer
shall be
an institution which is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and which
executes
and delivers to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee (as
successor
master servicer) an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment,
containing an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the applicable Servicer
(other
than liabilities of the predecessor servicer incurred prior to its termination),
with like effect as if originally named as a party to such Servicing Agreement;
provided,
that
each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in
effect
immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified
or
reduced, as a result of such assignment and delegation. Pending appointment
of a
successor to a Servicer under any Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer
or
the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, unless such
party is
prohibited by law from so acting, shall act in such capacity as hereinabove
provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable,
may make
such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments
on
Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree in accordance with
the
applicable Servicing Agreement; provided,
however,
that no
such compensation shall be in excess of the applicable Servicing Fee and
any
income on investments or gain related to the related Collection Account.
The
Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable,
and such successor servicer shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement, as shall be necessary
to
effectuate any such succession. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee
(as
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
any Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing,
any
cash, information, documents or records to it.
-87-
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the Master Servicer or the
Trustee
(as successor master servicer), as applicable, in its capacity as successor
servicer, immediately shall assume all of the obligations of such terminated
Servicer to make Advances and the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor
master servicer), as applicable, will assume the other duties of such Servicer
as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 90 days after the Master
Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable,
becomes
successor servicer pursuant to the preceding paragraph. If the Master Servicer
or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, acts as a
successor servicer, it will have no obligation to make an Advance if it
determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is non-recoverable.
To
the extent that the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master
servicer) is unable to find a successor servicer that is willing to service
the
Mortgage Loans for the Servicing Fee because of the obligation of the applicable
Servicer to make Advances regardless of whether such Advance is recoverable,
the
applicable Servicing Agreement may be amended to provide that the successor
servicer shall have no obligation to make an Advance if it determines in
its
reasonable judgment that such Advance is non-recoverable and provides an
Officer’s Certificate to such effect to the Master Servicer and the Trustee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor
master servicer), as applicable, in its capacity as successor servicer,
shall
not be responsible for the lack of information and/or documents that it
cannot
obtain through reasonable efforts; provided,
however,
that
any failure to perform any duties or responsibilities caused by such Servicer’s
failure to provide information required by this Agreement shall not be
considered a default by the Trustee (as successor master servicer) hereunder.
In
the Trustee’s capacity as such successor, the Trustee (as successor master
servicer) shall have the same limitations on liability granted to the Servicer
under this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement.
-88-
(c) In
the
event that the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer),
as
applicable, is the terminated Servicer (except in the case where the Master
Servicer in its role as successor servicer is being terminated pursuant
to an
Event of Default caused solely by the Master Servicer as the successor
servicer
and not by the predecessor Servicer’s actions or omissions), such costs shall be
paid by such prior terminated Servicer promptly upon presentation of reasonable
documentation of such costs.
Section
7.02 Notification
to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to any
Servicer, the Securities Administrator shall give prompt written notice
thereof
to Certificateholders, each Rating Agency and the Derivative
Counterparty.
(b) Within
60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Securities
Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders, each Rating
Agency and the Derivative Counterparty notice of each such Event of Default
hereunder known to the Securities Administrator, unless such event shall
have
been cured or waived.

or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction
of the
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25.00% of the Voting Rights

Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment of funds pursuant
to
this Agreement;
(h) unless
a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence
of a

not
be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default or an
Event of
Default until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received
written
notice thereof;
(i) the
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts, rights

it
shall not assume liability for the representations and warranties of a
Servicer

(k) In
order
to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect

to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to

otherwise provided in this Agreement or a separate letter agreement between
the
Trustee and the Depositor, the Trustee shall not be entitled to payment
or
reimbursement for any routine ongoing expenses incurred by the Trustee

and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of America,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a
combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating which
would
not cause any of the Rating Agencies to reduce their respective then current
ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such security from time
to time
as is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as evidenced in writing by each
Rating
Agency. If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition
at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or
association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set
forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time
the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with this Section 8.06,
the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified
in Section 8.07. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking and
trust relationships with the Depositor and its affiliates, the Master Servicer,
the Securities Administrator or any Servicer and its affiliates; provided,
however,
that
such entity cannot be an affiliate of the Depositor or any Servicer other
than
the Trustee in its role as successor to the Master Servicer.
-93-
Section
8.07 Resignation
and Removal of the Trustee.
The
Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created
by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Securities Administrator and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days
before the date specified in such notice, when, subject to Section 8.08,
such resignation is to take effect and acceptance by a successor trustee
in
accordance with Section 8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in
Section 8.06. If no successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall
have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after
the giving of such notice or resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition
any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee.
If
at any
time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with Section 8.06
and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor,
or if
at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged
as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property
shall
be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the
Trustee
or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation
or
liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any
state in
which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such
tax
would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor
may remove the Trustee and, subject to the approval of the Rating Agencies,
appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy
of
which shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy to each of the Servicers
and
one copy to the successor trustee.

at any time remove the Trustee and, subject to the approval of the Rating
Agencies, appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments,
in
triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized,

each
Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set
to the
successor so appointed. The successor trustee shall notify each Rating
Agency of
any removal of the Trustee.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee
pursuant to this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee as provided in
Section 8.08.
Section
8.08 Successor
Trustee.
Any
successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee
and each
Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon
the
resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective
and
such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations
of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee
herein. The Depositor and the predecessor trustee 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 all
such
rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
-94-
No
successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08
unless at the time of its acceptance, the successor trustee is eligible
under
Section 8.06 and its appointment does not adversely affect then the current
rating of the Certificates.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails
to mail
such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at
the
expense of the Depositor.
Section
8.09 Merger
or Consolidation of the Trustee.
Any
corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it
may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the
Trustee
hereunder; provided,
that
such corporation shall be eligible under Section 8.06 without the execution
or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section
8.10 Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for
the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which
any part
of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note 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 the Trust Fund, and to vest in
such
Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever
is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10,
such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may
consider
appropriate. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required
to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and
no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or
separate
trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every
separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law,
be
appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(a) To
the
extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.10, all
rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee,
except for the obligation of the Trustee (as successor master servicer)
under
this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Master Servicer, shall
be
conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and
such
separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate
trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee
joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether
as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to the 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
the applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction)
shall
be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee,
but
solely at the direction of the Trustee;
-95-
(b) No
trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable because of any act or
omission
of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not, and shall
not be
deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or co-trustee as agent
of the
Trustee;
(c) The
Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate
trustee
or co-trustee; and
(d) The
Trust
Fund, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the payment of reasonable
compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any such separate trustee
or
co-trustee.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to
have
been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and as
effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its
acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property
specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee
or
separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of
this
Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating
to
the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection and
indemnity to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the
Trustee
and a copy thereof given to the Master Servicer and the Depositor.
Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee
its
agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent
not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement
on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall
die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised
by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new
or
successor trustee.
Section
8.11 Tax
Matters .
It is
intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election pertaining
to
the Trust Fund is to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement,
shall
constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall
be
such as to qualify such assets as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”
as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance
of
such intention, the Securities Administrator covenants and agrees that
it shall
act as agent (and the Securities Administrator is hereby appointed to act
as
agent) on behalf of each REMIC created hereunder and that in such capacity
it
shall:
(a) prepare
and file in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit
(REMIC) Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the
Internal Revenue Service), which return the Trustee shall sign upon receipt
from
the Securities Administrator, and the Securities Administrator shall prepare
and
file with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax
authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with
respect
to each REMIC hereunder containing such information and at the times and
in the
manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations,
or rules, and furnish to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or
information at such times and in such manner as may be required
thereby;
-96-
(b) within
thirty days of the Closing Date, apply for an employer identification
number from the Internal Revenue Service via Form SS-4 or any other
acceptable method for all tax entities and shall also furnish to the Internal

the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders
of
the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together
with
such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update
such
information at the time or times in the manner required by the
Code;
(c) make
an
election that each REMIC created hereunder be treated as a REMIC on the
federal
tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable
state
law);
(d) prepare
and forward to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service
and,
if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports
as and
when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions,
including the calculation of any original issue discount using the prepayment
assumption (as described in the Prospectus Supplement);
(e) provide
information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer
of a
Residual Certificate to a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee, or
an agent
(including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee,
or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record
holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing
such
information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax);
(f) to
the
extent that they are under its control, conduct matters relating to such
assets
at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the
status
of each REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions;
(g) not
knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that
would
cause the termination of the REMIC status of any of the REMICs created
hereunder;
(h) pay,
from
the sources specified in the last paragraph of this Section 8.11, the
amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes
as
described below, imposed on each REMIC created hereunder before its termination
when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall
not
prevent the Securities Administrator or any other appropriate Person from
contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent
the
Securities Administrator from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted
by
law, pending the outcome of such proceedings);
(i) cause
federal, state or local income tax or information returns to be signed
by the
Securities Administrator or, if required by applicable tax law, the Trustee
or
such other person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or
state
or local laws, regulations or rules; and
(j) maintain
records relating to each REMIC created hereunder, including the income,
expenses, assets, and liabilities thereof on a calendar year basis and
on the
accrual method of accounting and the adjusted basis of the assets determined
at
such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare
the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information.
-97-
The
Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class R Certificates shall
act as Tax Matters Person for each REMIC created hereunder, within the
meaning
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d), and the Securities
Administrator is hereby designated as agent of such Certificateholder for
such
purpose (or if the Securities Administrator is not so permitted, such Holder
shall be the Tax Matters Person in accordance with the REMIC Provisions).
In
such capacity, the Securities Administrator shall, as and when necessary
and
appropriate, represent each REMIC created hereunder in any administrative
or
judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental
taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable
year of
each REMIC created hereunder, enter into settlement agreements with any
governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating
to any
tax item of each REMIC created hereunder, and otherwise act on behalf of
each
REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.
The
Securities Administrator shall treat the beneficial owners of the Certificates
(other than the Class II-A-5, Class P, Class X and Class R Certificates)
as
having entered into a notional principal contract with the beneficial owners
of
the Class X Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract,
all
beneficial owners of the LIBOR Certificates shall be treated as having
agreed to
pay, on each Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class X
Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the
amount
payable on such Distribution Date on the interest in the Upper Tier REMIC
corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable
on such
Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class I
Shortfall”). A Class I Shortfall payable from interest collections shall be
allocated to each Class of Certificates (other than the Class II-A-5, Class
P,
Class X and Class R Certificates) to the extent that interest accrued on
such
Class for the related Interest Accrual Period at the Interest Rate for
a Class,
computed by substituting “REMIC 2 Net Funds Cap” for “Available Funds Cap” in
the definition thereof, exceeds the amount of interest accrued for the
related
Interest Accrual Period based on the applicable Available Funds Cap, and
a Class
I Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the
most
subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance
to the
extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal
contract, the beneficial owner of the Class X Certificates shall be treated
as
having agreed to pay Basis Risk Carryover Amounts to the Owners of the
LIBOR
Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments
to the
Certificates in light of the foregoing shall not be payments with respect
to a
“regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).
However, any payment from the Certificates of a Class I Shortfall shall
be
treated for tax purposes as having been received by the beneficial owners
of
such Certificates in respect of their Interests in the Upper Tier REMIC
and as
having been paid by such beneficial owners to the Supplemental Interest
Trust
pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus,
each Certificate (other than a Class II-A-5, Class P and Class R Certificate)
shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests
in the
Upper Tier REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in (and obligations
with
respect to) a notional principal contract. For tax purposes, the notional
principal contract shall be deemed to have a value in favor of the Certificates
entitled to receive Basis Risk Carryover Amounts of $10,000 as of the Closing
Date.
-98-
Notwithstanding
the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article IV hereof or
otherwise, the Securities Administrator shall account for all distributions
on
the Certificates as set forth in this Section 8.11. In no event shall any
payments of Basis Risk Carryover Amounts provided for in this Section 8.11
be
treated as payments
with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code
Section 860G(a)(1). The
Securities Administrator shall file or cause to be filed with the IRS together
with Form 1041 or such other form as may be applicable and shall furnish
or
cause to be furnished, to the Class X Certificateholders and the LIBOR
Certificateholders, the respective amounts described above that are received,
in
the time or times and in the manner required by the Code.
To
enable
the Securities Administrator to perform its duties under this Agreement,
the
Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator within ten days
after the Closing Date all information or data that the Securities Administrator
requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the
valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including the price,
yield,
prepayment assumption, and projected cash flows of the Certificates and
the
Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the Depositor shall provide information to the
Securities Administrator concerning the value to each Class of Certificates
of the right to receive Basis Risk Carryover Amounts from the Excess Reserve
Fund Account. Unless otherwise advised by the Depositor, for federal income
tax
purposes, the Securities Administrator is hereby directed to assign a value
of
zero to the right of each Holder allocating the purchase price of an initial
Offered Certificateholder between such right and the related Upper Tier
Regular
Interest. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Securities
Administrator promptly upon written request therefor any additional information
or data that the Securities Administrator may, from time to time, reasonably
request to enable the Securities Administrator to perform its duties under
this
Agreement; provided,
however,
that
the Depositor shall not be required to provide any information regarding
the
Mortgage Loans that a Servicer is required to provide to the Securities
Administrator pursuant to any Servicing Agreement. The Depositor hereby
indemnifies the Securities Administrator for any losses, liabilities, damages,
claims, or expenses of the Securities Administrator arising from any errors
or
miscalculations of the Securities Administrator that result from any failure
of
the Depositor to provide, pursuant to this paragraph, accurate information
or
data to the Securities Administrator on a timely basis.
None
of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall
(i)
permit the creation of any interests in any REMIC other than the regular
and
residual interests set forth in the Preliminary Statement, (ii) receive
any
amount representing a fee or other compensation for services (except as
otherwise permitted by this Agreement or the related Mortgage Loan documents)
or
(iii) otherwise knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause the Trust
Fund
to 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, could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (ii)
result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC or 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, or the tax on “net income from foreclosure
property”) unless the Securities Administrator receives an Opinion of Counsel
(at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party
fails
to pay such expense, and the Securities Administrator determines that taking
such action is in the best interest of the Trust Fund and the
Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust Fund, but in no event at
the
expense of the Securities Administrator) to the effect that the contemplated
action will not, with respect to the Trust Fund or any REMIC created hereunder,
endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax).
-99-
If
any
tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of a REMIC created hereunder as
defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from
foreclosure property” of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in
Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC created
hereunder after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or
any other tax is imposed, including any minimum tax imposed on either REMIC
pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation
Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, the tax shall be paid
by
(i) the Master Servicer, the Trustee, or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, if such tax arises out of or results from negligence of the
Master
Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, in
the
performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Sponsor,
if
such tax arises out of or results from the Sponsor’s obligation to repurchase a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03(k), or (iii) in all other cases, or
if the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator fails
to
honor its obligations under the preceding clause (i) or (ii), any such
tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the
Certificateholders, as provided in Section 4.02(a).
Section
8.12 Commission
Reporting.
(a) The
Securities Administrator shall, in accordance with industry standards,
prepare
and file with the Commission, via ▇▇▇▇▇, the following reports in respect
of the
Trust as and to the extent required under the Exchange Act:
(i) (A)
Within 15 days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted extensions
under the Exchange Act), the Securities Administrator shall prepare and
file on
behalf of the Trust any Form 10-D required by the Exchange Act, in form
and
substance as required by the Exchange Act. The Securities Administrator
shall
file each Form 10-D with a copy of the related Monthly Statement attached
thereto. Any disclosure in addition to the Monthly Statement that is required
to
be included on Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall be reported
by the parties set forth on Exhibit V to the Depositor and the Securities
Administrator and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the
following paragraph and the Securities Administrator will have no duty
or
liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional
Form
10-D Disclosure, except to the extent of its obligations set forth in the
next
paragraph.
(B)
As
set forth on Exhibit V hereto, within 5 calendar days after the related
Distribution Date, (i) the parties specified in Exhibit V hereto, shall
be
required to provide to the Securities Administrator and to the Depositor,
to the
extent known, in ▇▇▇▇▇-compatible format, or in such other format as agreed
upon
by the Securities Administrator and such party, the form and substance
of any
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable, together with an Additional
Disclosure Notification, and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form
and
substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional
Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D. The Securities Administrator has no
duty
under this Agreement to monitor or enforce the performance by the parties
listed
on Exhibit V of their duties under this paragraph or proactively solicit
or
procure from such parties any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure information.
The
Depositor shall be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed
or
incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection with including any
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph.
-100-
(C)
After
preparing the Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall, upon request,
forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor (provided
that
such Form 10-D includes any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure). Within two
Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later than the 12th
calendar
day after the Distribution Date, the Depositor shall notify the Securities
Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any
changes
to or approval of such Form 10-D. In the absence of receipt of any written
changes or approval, or if the Depositor does not request a copy of a Form
10-D,
the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form
10-D is
in final form and the Securities Administrator may proceed with the process
for
execution and filing of the Form 10-D. A duly authorized representative
of the
Master Servicer shall sign each Form 10-D. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed
on
time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Securities
Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in paragraph (d) of
this
Section 8.12. Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after filing
with
the Commission, the Securities Administrator will make available on its
internet
website (located at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇)
a final
executed copy of each Form 10-D prepared and filed by the Securities
Administrator. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that the performance
by
each of the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its duties
under
this Section 8.12(a)(i) related to the timely preparation, execution and
filing
of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable
deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 8.12(a)(i).
The
Depositor acknowledges that the performance by each of the Master Servicer
and
the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(i) related
to
the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is also contingent
upon any Servicing Function Participant strictly observing deadlines no
later
than those set forth in this paragraph that are applicable to the parties
to
this Agreement in the delivery to the Securities Administrator of any necessary
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure pursuant to any applicable agreement. Neither
the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall have any liability
for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to
any
failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-D,
where
such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to
receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto
or any
Servicing Function Participant needed to prepare, arrange for execution
or file
such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
(D)
Form
10-D
requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has
filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject
to such
filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby instructs the
Administrator to check “Yes” for each item, unless 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, that the answer to either item should be “no.” The Depositor 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
Depositor was required to file such reports) and it has been subject to
such
filing requirement for the past 90 days.” The Securities Administrator shall be
entitled to rely on such representations in preparing, executing and/or
filing
any such Form 10-D.
-101-
(ii) (A)
On or
prior to the 90th
day
after the end of each fiscal year of the Trust or such earlier date as
may be
required by the Exchange Act (the “10-K
Filing Deadline”)
(it
being understood that the fiscal year for the Trust ends on December
31st
of each
year), commencing in March 2007, the Securities Administrator shall prepare
and
file on behalf of the Trust a Form 10-K, in form and substance as required
by
the Exchange Act. Each such Form 10-K shall include the following items,
in each
case to the extent they have been delivered to the Securities Administrator
within the applicable time frames set forth in this Agreement or the Servicing
Agreements, (i) an annual compliance statement for each Servicer, the Master
Servicer and the Securities Administrator and any Servicing Function Participant
engaged by any such party (together with the Custodian, each a “Reporting
Servicer”)
as
described under Section 3.05(b), (ii)(A) the annual reports on assessment
of
compliance with Servicing Criteria for each Reporting Servicer, as described
under Section 3.03, and (B) if each Reporting Servicer’s report on assessment of
compliance with Servicing Criteria described under Section 3.22 identifies
any
material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance
of
noncompliance, or if each Reporting Servicer’s report on assessment of
compliance with Servicing Criteria described under Section 3.22 is not
included
as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not included
and
an explanation why such report is not included, provided,
however,
that
the Securities Administrator, at its discretion, may omit from the Form
10-K any
assessment of compliance or attestation report described in clause (iii)
below
that is not required to be filed with such Form 10-K pursuant to Regulation
AB;
(iii)(A) the registered public accounting firm attestation report for each
Reporting Servicer, as described under Section 3.04, and (B) if any registered
public accounting firm attestation report described under Section 3.04
identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying
such
instance of noncompliance, or if any such registered public accounting
firm
attestation report is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure
that such report is not included and an explanation why such report is
not
included, and (iv) a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Certification as described in Section
3.05.
Any disclosure or information in addition to (i) through (iv) above that
is
required to be included on Form 10-K (“Additional
Form 10-K Disclosure”)
shall
be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit W to the Depositor and
the
Securities Administrator and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant
to
the following paragraph and the Securities Administrator will have no duty
or
liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional
Form
10-K Disclosure, except to the extent of its obligations set forth in the
next
paragraph.
-102-
(B)
As
set forth on Exhibit W hereto, no later than March 10 (with a 5 calendar
day
cure period, but in no event later than March 15) of each year that the
Trust is
subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, commencing in 2007,
(i) the
parties specified on Exhibit W shall be required to provide to the Securities
Administrator and to the Depositor, to the extent known, in ▇▇▇▇▇-compatible
format, or in such other format as agreed upon by the Securities Administrator
and such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure,
if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification, and
(ii) the
Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the
case may
be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K.
The
Securities Administrator has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or
enforce
the performance by the parties listed on Exhibit W of their duties under
this
paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Additional
Form 10-K Disclosure information. The Depositor will be responsible for
any
reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities
Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure
on Form 10-K pursuant to this Section 8.12 (a) (ii) (B).
(C)
After
preparing the Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall, upon request,
forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor. Within
three
Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later than March 25th,
the
Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing (which may
be
furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-K.
In
the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, or if the Depositor
does not request a copy of a Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall
be
entitled to assume that such Form 10-K is in final form and the Securities
Administrator may proceed with the process for execution and filing of
the Form
10-K. A senior officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the master servicing
function shall sign the Form 10-K. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time
or if
a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator
will follow the procedures set forth in paragraph (d) of this Section 8.12.
Promptly (but no later than one 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 prepared and filed by the Securities
Administrator. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance
by
the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(a)(ii)
related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-K is
contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines
in the
performance of their duties under this Section 8.12(a)(ii) and Sections
3.03,
3.04 and 3.05. The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Master
Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section
8.12(ii) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form
10-K is
also contingent upon any Servicing Function Participant strictly observing
deadlines no later than those set forth in this paragraph that are applicable
to
the parties to this Agreement in the delivery to the Securities Administrator
of
any necessary Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, any annual statement of
compliance and any assessment of compliance and attestation pursuant to
any
applicable agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities
Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, 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 obtain or receive, on a
timely basis, any information from any other party hereto or any Servicing
Function Participant needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such
Form
10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
-103-
(D) 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 requirement for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby instructs the
Securities Administrator to check “Yes” for each item, unless the Depositor
shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing, no later than the
15th
calendar
day of March in any year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, that the answer to either item should
be “no.”
The Depositor 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 Depositor was required to file such reports) and it has been subject
to
such filing requirement for the past 90 days.” The Securities Administrator
shall be entitled to rely on such representations in preparing, executing
and/or
filing any such Form 10-K.
(iii) (A)
Within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring
disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a “Reportable
Event”),
if
directed by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and
file
on behalf of the Trust Fund any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act,
provided
that the
Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance
of the
Certificates. Any disclosure or information related to a Reportable Event
or
that is otherwise required to be included on Form 8-K (“Form
8-K Disclosure Information”)
shall
be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit X to the Depositor and
the
Securities Administrator and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant
to
the following paragraph and the Securities Administrator will have no duty
or
liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Form 8-K
Disclosure Information or any Form 8-K, except to the extent of its obligations
set forth in the next paragraph.
(B)
As
set forth on Exhibit X hereto, for so long as the Trust is subject to the
Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than the close of business
New
York City time on the 2nd Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable
Event (i) the parties hereto shall be required to provide to the Securities
Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known, in ▇▇▇▇▇-compatible
format, or in such other format as agreed upon by the Securities Administrator
and such party, the form and substance of any Form 8-K Disclosure Information,
if applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification, and
(ii) the
Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the
case may
be, the inclusion of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information. The Depositor
will be
responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by
the
Securities Administrator in connection with including any Form 8-K Disclosure
Information on Form 8-K pursuant to this paragraph.
-104-
(C)
After
preparing the Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator shall, upon request,
forward electronically a copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor. Promptly,
but no
later than the close of business on the third Business Day after the Reportable
Event, the Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in writing
(which
may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such
Form 8-K.
In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval, or if the
Depositor does not request a copy of a Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator
shall be entitled to assume that such Form 8-K is in final form and the
Securities Administrator may proceed with the process for execution and
filing
of the Form 8-K. A duly authorized representative of the Master Servicer
shall
sign each Form 8-K. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously
filed Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow
the
procedures set forth in paragraph (d) of this Section 8.12. Promptly (but
no
later than one Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities
Administrator will make available on its internet website (located at
▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇)
a final
executed copy of each Form 8-K prepared and filed by the Securities
Administrator. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance
by
the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(d)(iii)
related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 8-K is
contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines
in the
performance of their duties under this Section 8.12(d)(iii). The Depositor
acknowledges that the performance by the Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(iii) related to the
timely
preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is also contingent upon
any
Servicing Function Participant strictly observing deadlines no later than
those
set forth in this paragraph that are applicable to the parties to this
Agreement
in the delivery to the Securities Administrator of any necessary Form 8-K
Disclosure Information pursuant to the related any applicable agreement.
The
Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense,
damage,
claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare
and/or
timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Securities
Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis,
any information from any other party hereto or any Servicing Function
Participant needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form
8-K, not
resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(b) The
Depositor acknowledges and agrees that the Securities Administrator may
include
in any Exchange Act report all relevant information, data, and exhibits
as the
Securities Administrator may receive in connection with such report irrespective
of any provision or Regulation AB that may permit the exclusion of such
material. By the way of example, the Securities Administrator may file
all
assessments of compliance, attestation reports and compliance statements
timely
received from any Item 1122 Servicing Function Participant irrespective
of any
applicable minimum pool asset percentage requirement for disclosure related
to
such Servicing Function Participant.
-105-
(c) The
Depositor agrees to furnish promptly to the Securities Administrator, from
time
to time upon request, such additional information, data, reports, documents,
and
financial statements within the Depositor’s possession or control as the
Securities Administrator reasonably requests as necessary or appropriate
to
prepare and file the foregoing reports. The Securities Administrator shall
make
available to the Depositor copies of all Exchange Act reports filed
hereunder.
(d)
(i) On
or
before January 30 of the first year in which the Securities Administrator
is
able to do so under applicable law, the Securities Administrator shall
prepare
and file a Form 15 relating to the automatic suspension of reporting in
respect
of the Trust under the Exchange Act.
(ii)
In
the event that the Securities Administrator is unable to timely file with
the
Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required
to
be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was
either
not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set
forth in
this Agreement or for any other reason, the Securities Administrator will
promptly notify electronically the Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D
and 10-K,
the parties to this Agreement will cooperate to prepare and file a Form
12b-25
and a 10-DA and 10-KA as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange
Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator will, upon receipt
of
all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and
direction
of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next Form
10-D. In
the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be
amended
in connection with any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure (other than, in
the case
of Form 10-D, for the purpose of restating any Monthly Statement), Additional
Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure Information, the Securities
Administrator will notify electronically the Depositor and such other parties
to
this Agreement as are affected by this Amendment and such parties will
cooperate
to prepare any necessary 8-KA, 10-DA or 10-KA. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25
or any
amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K shall be signed by a duly authorized
representative or senior officer in charge of master servicing, as applicable,
of the Master Servicer. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that
the
performance by each of the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator
of
its duties under this Section 8.12(d) related to the timely preparation,
execution and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form
8-K,
10-D or 10-K is contingent upon each such party performing its duties under
this
Section. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator shall
have
any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with
respect to any failure to properly prepare, 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
obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party
hereto or any Servicing Function Participant needed to prepare, arrange
for
execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms
8-K, 10-D
or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
The Depositor shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of the Securities
Administrator related to the preparation and filing of any such amendment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Form 10-D needs to be amended solely
to
change the information contained in the Monthly Statement, the Securities
Administrator shall not be required to notify the Depositor of such
amendment.
-106-

THE MASTER SERVICER
Section
9.01 Duties
of the Master Servicer; Enforcement of Servicer’s Obligations.(a)
The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
the
Depositor and the Certificateholders, shall monitor the performance of
the
obligations of the Servicers under their respective Servicing Agreements,
and
(except as set forth below) shall use its reasonable good faith efforts
to cause
each Servicer to duly and punctually perform its duties and obligations
under
its related Servicing Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
of
which a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer
and a Servicer are the same entity, the Trustee, has actual knowledge,
the
Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall promptly notify the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, and shall specify
in
such notice the action, if any, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, plans to take in respect of such default. So long as an Event
of
Default shall occur and be continuing, the Master Servicer or the Trustee,
as
applicable, shall take the actions specified in Article VII.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Credit Risk Management
Agreement entered into by a Servicer to the contrary, the Master Servicer
or the
Trustee, as applicable, shall have no duty or obligation to enforce any
such
Credit Risk Management Agreement or to supervise, monitor or oversee the
activities of a Servicer under such Credit Risk Management Agreement with
respect to any action taken or not taken by such Servicer at the direction
of
the Sponsor or pursuant to a recommendation of the Credit Risk
Manager.
-107-
If
(i) a Servicer reports a delinquency on a monthly report and (ii) such
Servicer, by 11 a.m. (New York Time) on the related Remittance Date, neither
makes an Advance nor provides the Securities Administrator, the Master
Servicer
and the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such an Advance
would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance,
then the Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer and such Servicer are
the
same entity, the Trustee, shall deposit in the Distribution Account not
later
than the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date
an
Advance in an amount equal to the difference between (x) with respect to
each Monthly Payment due on a Mortgage Loan that is delinquent (other than
Relief Act Interest Shortfalls) and for which such Servicer was required
to make
an Advance pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement and (y) amounts
deposited in the related Collection Account to be used for Advances with
respect
to such Mortgage Loan, except to the extent the Master Servicer or the
Trustee,
as applicable, determines any such Advance to be a Nonrecoverable P&I
Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Subject to the foregoing and
Section 7.01, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall
continue to make such Advances for so long as such Servicer is required
to do so
under its respective Servicing Agreement. If applicable, on the Business
Day
immediately preceding the Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall
deliver
an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that the Master Servicer elects
not to make an Advance in a stated amount and detailing the reason(s) it
deems
the Advance to be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance. Any amounts deposited by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be net of the Servicing Fee
for the related Mortgage Loans.
(b) The
Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable,
shall pay the costs of monitoring the Servicers (including costs associated
with
(i) termination of a Servicer, (ii) the appointment of a successor
servicer or (iii) the transfer to and assumption of the servicing by the
Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable) and shall, to the extent
permitted under the related Servicing Agreement, seek reimbursement therefor
initially from the terminated Servicer. In the event the full costs associated
with the transition of servicing responsibilities to the Master Servicer
or the
Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable, are not paid for
by the
predecessor or successor servicer (provided such successor servicer is
not the
Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer)), the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, may be reimbursed therefor by the
Trust
for all costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor
master servicer), as applicable, associated with any such transfer of servicing
duties from a Servicer to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
or
any other successor servicer.
(c) If
the
Master Servicer or the Trustee (as successor master servicer), as applicable,
assumes the servicing with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans, it will
not
assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer
it
replaces or for any errors or omissions of such Servicer.
(d) Neither
the Depositor nor the Securities Administrator shall consent to the assignment
by any Servicer of such Servicer’s rights and obligations under that Servicer’s
Servicing Agreement without the prior written consent of the Master Servicer
and
the Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(g) the
indictment of the Master Servicer for the taking of any action by the Master

a
written notice, the Trustee may at the direction of Holders of Certificates
evidencing at least 51.00% of the Voting Rights waive any default by the

Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and
any
Master Servicer Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
been
remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend
to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except
to the
extent expressly so waived.
Section
9.08 Successor
to the Master Servicer. Upon
termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this
Agreement, the Depositor shall use its reasonable good faith efforts to
appoint
a successor, which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement prior to the termination of the Master Servicer. Any successor
shall
be a ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac approved servicer in good standing and
acceptable to the Depositor and the Rating Agencies. In connection with
such
appointment and assumption, the Depositor may make such arrangements for
the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it
and such
successor shall agree; provided,
however,
that in
no event shall the master servicing fee paid to such successor master servicer
exceed that paid to the Master Servicer hereunder. In the event that the
Master
Servicer’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement are
terminated, the Master Servicer shall continue to discharge its duties
and
responsibilities hereunder until the effective date of such termination
with the
same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise
under
this Agreement and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or
prejudice the rights of its successor. The termination of the Master Servicer
shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant
hereto
and shall in no event (i) relieve the Master Servicer of responsibility for
the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 9.05(a) hereof
and the remedies available to the Trustee under Section 9.05(b) hereof, it
being understood and agreed that the provisions of Section 9.05 hereof
shall be applicable to the Master Servicer notwithstanding any such sale,
assignment, resignation or termination of the Master Servicer or the termination
of this Agreement; or (ii) affect the right of the Master Servicer to
receive payment and/or reimbursement of any amounts accruing to it hereunder
prior to the date of termination (or during any transition period in which
the
Master Servicer continues to perform its duties hereunder prior to the
date the
successor master servicer fully assumes its duties).
-112-
If
no
successor master servicer has accepted its appointment within 90 days of
the time the Trustee receives the resignation of the Master Servicer, the
Trustee shall be the successor master servicer in all respects under this
Agreement and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all
the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto, including the
obligation to make Advances; provided,
however,
that
any failure to perform any duties or responsibilities caused by the Master
Servicer’s failure to provide information required by this Agreement shall not
be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In the Trustee’s capacity as
such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability
herein
granted to the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary,
the Trustee in its role as successor master servicer shall have no obligation
to
monitor or supervise any Servicer, shall only have the obligation to make
Advances if it terminates the Servicer pursuant to an Event of Default
(in its
role as successor master servicer), and shall make such Advances only pursuant
to Section 7.01. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled
to
receive the compensation, reimbursement and indemnities otherwise payable
to the
Master Servicer, including the fees and other amounts payable pursuant
to
Section 9.09 hereof.
Any
successor master servicer appointed as provided herein, shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and to the
Trustee
an instrument accepting such appointment, wherein the successor shall make
the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 9.05 hereof, and
whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all of the rights,
powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master
Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement.
Any termination or resignation of the Master Servicer or termination of
this
Agreement shall not affect any claims that the Trustee may have against
the
Master Servicer arising out of the Master Servicer’s actions or failure to act
prior to any such termination or resignation or in connection with the
Trustee’s
assumption of such obligations, duties and responsibilities.
Upon
a
successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Master Servicer shall notify
by mail the Trustee and the Depositor of such appointment.
Section
9.09 Compensation
of the Master Servicer. As
compensation for its activities under this Agreement, the Master Servicer
shall
be paid the Master Servicing Fee.
Section
9.10 Merger
or Consolidation. Any
Person into which the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or
any
Person resulting from any merger, conversion, other change in form or
consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor
to the
Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper
or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to
the
contrary notwithstanding; provided,
however,
that
the successor or resulting Person to the Master Servicer shall (i) be a
Person (or have an Affiliate) that is qualified and approved to service
mortgage
loans for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac (provided further

Affiliate agrees to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac guidelines) and (ii) have a net worth of not
less than $25,000,000.

Section
9.11 Resignation
of the Master Servicer. Except
as
otherwise provided in Sections 9.08 and 9.10 hereof, the Master Servicer
shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it unless
the
Master Servicer’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable
law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other
activities carried on by it and cannot be cured. Any such determination
permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by
an
Opinion of Counsel that shall be independent to such effect delivered to
the
Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee shall
have
assumed, or a successor master servicer satisfactory to the Trustee and
the
Depositor shall have assumed, the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement. Notice of such resignation shall be given
promptly by the Master Servicer and the Depositor to the Trustee.
If
at any
time, ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo, as Master Servicer, resigns under this Section 9.11, or
is removed as Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.06, then at such time
▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo shall also resign (and shall be entitled to resign) as Securities
Administrator under this Agreement.

as
expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer

of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or
delegate
to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform
any
of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Master Servicer;
provided,
however,
that
the Master Servicer shall have the right with the prior written consent
of the
Depositor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and upon
delivery to the Trustee and the Depositor of a letter from each Rating
Agency to
the effect that such action shall not result in a downgrade of the ratings
assigned to any of the Certificates, to delegate or assign to or subcontract
with or authorize or appoint any qualified Person to perform and carry
out any
duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by the
Master
Servicer hereunder. Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given
promptly
by the Master Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee. If, pursuant to
any
provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to
a
successor master servicer, the entire compensation payable to the Master
Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such successor
master
servicer but in no event shall the fee payable to the successor master
servicer
exceed that payable to the predecessor master servicer.
Section
9.13 Limitation
on Liability of the Master Servicer.Neither
the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents
of
the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking
of any
action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment;
provided,
however,
that
this provision shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such person
against
any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of
reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
The
Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master
Servicer may rely in good faith on any document prima facie properly executed
and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The
Master
Servicer shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any
legal action that is not incidental to its duties as Master Servicer with
respect to the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement and that in its opinion
may
involve it in any expenses or liability; provided,
however,
that
the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action
that it
may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights
and
duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and
any
liability resulting therefrom, shall be liabilities of the Trust, and the
Master
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Distribution
Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.09 and
Section 9.14.
-114-
The
Master Servicer shall not be liable under this Agreement for any acts or
omissions of any Servicer except to the extent that damages or expenses
are
incurred as a result of such acts or omissions and such damages and expenses
would not have been incurred but for the negligence, willful malfeasance,
bad
faith or recklessness of the Master Servicer in supervising, monitoring
and
overseeing the performance of the obligations of any Servicer as required
under
this Agreement.
Section
9.14 Indemnification;

Master Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee as successor
master servicer from and against any and all claims, losses, penalties,
fines,
forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs,
liability, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that the
Trustee may sustain as a result of such liability or obligations of the
Master
Servicer and in connection with the Trustee’s assumption (not including the
Trustee’s performance, except to the extent that costs or liability of the
Trustee are created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts
or
omissions of the Master Servicer prior to its replacement as Master Servicer)

the Master Servicer’s obligations, duties or responsibilities under such
agreement.

to
this Agreement or the Certificates, except to the extent that any such
loss,
liability or expense is related to (i) a material breach of the Master
Servicer’s representations and warranties in this Agreement, (ii) the
Master Servicer’s willful malfeasance, bad faith or negligence or by reason of
its reckless disregard of its duties and obligations under this Agreement
or
(iii) failure to provide the assessment, attestation and annual statement
of
compliance in accordance with Sections 3.03, 3.04 and 3.05; provided that
any
such loss, liability or expense constitutes an “unanticipated expense incurred

reimbursement for any such indemnified amount from funds on deposit in
the
Distribution Account. The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any course

Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets
of

Section
11.03 Additional
Termination Requirements.
In the
event an Option to Purchase is exercised with respect to the Mortgage Loans
as
provided in Section 11.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance
with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been
supplied
with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party upon whose instruction
causes the exercise of an Option to Purchase, to the effect that the failure
to
comply with the requirements of this Section 11.03 will not (i) result
in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” on any REMIC formed
hereby as defined in Section 860F of the Code or (ii) cause any REMIC
formed hereby to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding:
(a) The
Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall sell all of the
assets
of the Trust Fund to the party exercising the Option to Purchase, and,
within
90 days of such sale, shall distribute to the Certificateholders the
proceeds of such sale in complete liquidation of each REMIC formed hereby;
and
(b) The
Securities Administrator shall attach a statement to the final federal
income
tax return for each REMIC formed hereby stating that pursuant to Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860F-1, the first day of the 90-day liquidation
period for each such REMIC was the date on which the Securities Administrator
on
behalf of the Trustee sold the assets of the Trust Fund to the Master
Servicer.

extent that the rights or obligations of the Derivative Counterparty under
the
Cap Agreement or the Swap Agreement are affected thereby, and except to
the
extent that the ability of the Securities Administrator to perform fully
and
timely its obligations under the Cap Agreement or the Swap Agreement is
adversely affected, in which case prior written consent of the Derivative
Counterparty is required) (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake,
(ii) to correct any defective provision herein or to supplement any

any
Certificateholder; provided,
further,
that
any such action pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) above shall not be

Certificateholders if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter
from
each Rating Agency 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 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. The Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and
the Securities Administrator also may at any time and from time to time
amend
this Agreement, but without the consent of the Certificateholders or the
Derivative Counterparty (except to the extent that the rights or obligations
of
the Derivative Counterparty hereunder or under the Cap Agreement or the
Swap
Agreement are affected thereby, and except to the extent that the ability
of the
Securities Administrator to perform fully and timely its obligations under
the
Cap Agreement or the Swap Agreement is adversely affected, in which case
prior
written consent of the Derivative Counterparty is required) to modify,
eliminate
or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or
helpful

Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any
REMIC created hereunder pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any

that
the Trustee and the Master Servicer have been provided an Opinion of Counsel,
which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion

any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the
effect
that such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain
such qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of
such a tax or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the
Code.
-127-
This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, but with the consent
of
the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating
not less
than 662/3%
of each
Class of Certificates affected thereby 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
such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the
timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the
consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates
in a manner other than as described in clause (i), without the consent of
the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing, as to such Class,
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 662/3%,
(iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which
are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the
Holders of all such Certificates then outstanding or (iv) adversely affect
the
rights or obligations of the Derivative Counterparty hereunder or under
the Cap
Agreement or the Swap Agreement or the rights of the Securities Administrator
to
fully and timely perform its obligations under the Cap Agreement or the
Swap
Agreement without obtaining the prior written consent of the Derivative
Counterparty.
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Master Servicer
shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless (i) it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an
expense
of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund, to the effect that
such
amendment will not cause the imposition of any tax on any REMIC created
hereunder or the Certificateholders or cause any such REMIC to fail to
qualify
as a REMIC or the grantor trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust at
any
time that any Certificates are outstanding and (ii) the party seeking such
amendment shall have provided written notice to the Rating Agencies (with
a copy
of such notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Derivative
Counterparty) of such amendment, stating the provisions of the Agreement
to be
amended.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.01(a), with respect to any
amendment that significantly modifies the permitted activities of the Trustee,
any Certificate beneficially owned by the Depositor shall be deemed not
to be
outstanding (and shall not be considered when determining the percentage
of
Certificateholders consenting or when calculating the total number of
Certificates entitled to consent) for purposes of determining if the requisite
consents of Certificateholders under this Section 12.01(a) have been
obtained.
Promptly
after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent
of
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the
substance or a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder and each
Rating
Agency.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this
Section 12.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, 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.
-128-
Nothing
in this Agreement shall require the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the
Securities Administrator to enter into an amendment without receiving an
Opinion
of Counsel (which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund), satisfactory
to the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator, as applicable,
that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this
Agreement and that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been
complied with and (ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or
(B) the conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding
clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this
Section 12.01(a).
(b)
No
party hereto shall agree to amend any Servicing Agreement unless the party
requesting such amendment, at such party’s expense, has delivered to the Trustee
and the Master Servicer an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment (i) is
permitted under the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement and (ii)
will
not materially adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders
in the
Mortgage Loans or the NIM Securities to be issued in the NIMS Transaction.
Section
12.02 Recordation
of Agreement; Counterparts.
This
Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for
real

in which
any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other
appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be
effected by the Securities Administrator at the direction and expense of
the
Depositor, but only upon receipt of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that
such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.
For
the
purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided
and
for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any
number
of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original,

AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED

PARTIES
HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SUCH
LAWS.
-129-
Section
12.04 Intention
of Parties.
(a) It
is intended that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in
and to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement
shall
constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not
a grant
of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such conveyance is
deemed
to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the rights and obligations
of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
(2)
the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders
of the
Certificates a first priority security interest to secure repayment of
an
obligation in an amount equal to the aggregate Class Principal Amount of
the
Certificates in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in, to and
under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund and the
Supplemental Interest Trust and all proceeds of any and all property
constituting the Trust Fund and the Supplemental Interest Trust to secure
payment of the Certificates (such security interest being, to the extent
of the
assets that constitute the Supplemental Interest Trust, pari
passu
with the
security interest as provided in clause (4) below); (3) this Agreement
shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law; and (4) the Derivative
Counterparty shall be deemed, during the term of such agreement and while
such
agreement is the property of the Trustee, to have a security interest in
all of
the assets that constitute the Supplemental Interest Trust, but only to
the
extent of such Derivative Counterparty’s right to payment under the Derivative
Agreements (such security interest being pari
passu
with the
security interest as provided in clause (2) above). If such conveyance
is deemed
to be in respect of a loan and the trust created by this Agreement terminates
prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person holding any Certificate,
the security interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect
and
the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit
of such
Person, and all proceeds shall be distributed by the Securities Administrator
as
herein provided.
(b) The
Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such
reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement
were
deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other
property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be
a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and
shall be
maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Depositor
shall,
at its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the Closing Date
and
shall forward a copy of such filing or filings to the Trustee. Without
limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward
for
filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the
Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original
filings necessary under the relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee’s security
interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation
(x)
continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned
by
(1) any change of name of the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Trustee, (2)
any
change of location of the jurisdiction of organization of the Sponsor or
the
Depositor, (3) any transfer of any interest of the Sponsor or the Depositor
in
any Mortgage Loan or (4) any change under the relevant UCC or other applicable
laws. Neither the Sponsor nor the Depositor shall organize under the law
of any
jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized as of the
Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing
under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written
notice of
such action to its immediate and intermediate transferee, including the
Trustee.
Before effecting such change, the Sponsor or the Depositor proposing to
change
its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate
filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to
continue
the perfection of the interests of its immediate and intermediate transferees,
including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Sponsor and the
Depositor authorizes its immediate or intermediate transferee to file in
any
filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing
statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings
described in this paragraph (b).

This

made to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day

such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Distribution Date in which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the related Due Period is less than
or
equal to 5% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
as
of the Cut-off Date, if the Depositor has not previously provided instructions

of
this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or
in
exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,

As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices designated by the Securities Administrator for
such
purposes, accompanied by a 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 and evidencing
the
same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust Fund will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient
to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.
The
Trustee, the Depositor and the Securities Administrator and any agent of
the
Trustee, the Depositor or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person
in
whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
and neither the Trustee, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator nor
any
such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The
Master Servicer, upon the instruction of the Depositor, shall have the option
to
purchase the Mortgage Loans and therefore cause the termination of the Trust
on
any Optional Termination Date, which is any Distribution Date in which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day
of
the related Due Period is less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date; provided,
however,
the
Master Servicer in its own right may exercise the option to purchase the
Mortgage Loans and thereby cause the termination of the Trust on any
Distribution Date in which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the related Due Period is less than
or
equal to 5% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
as
of the Cut-off Date, if the Depositor has not previously provided instructions
to the Master Servicer to exercise such option on the Depositor’s behalf on such
Distribution Date.
The
obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate
as
provided in Section 11.01 of the Agreement.

The
undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The
undersigned is an officer of ___________________, the proposed Transferee
of an
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate (the “Certificate”)
issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Agreement”),
relating to the above-referenced Series, dated as of October 1, 2006
among HSI
Asset Securitization Corporation, as depositor, ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, N.A.,
as
master servicer, securities administrator and custodian, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Fixed
Income
Services Inc., as Credit Risk Manager, and Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company,
as trustee. Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have
the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has
authorized
the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee for
the
benefit of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the
Trustee.
2. The
Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of
the
Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership
Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The Transferee has no
knowledge
that any such affidavit is false.
3. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be
imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are Non-Permitted
Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such
Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman)
for
a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the
Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for
the tax
if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that
such
subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer,
such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed
on a
“pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable
year of the pass-through entity a Person that is a Non-Permitted Transferee
is
the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands
that
such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the
record
holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record
holder
is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual
knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through
entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust
or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives
and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding
interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
EXH.
G-1
5. The
Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement
and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership
Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions
on
subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer
and
mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to
abide by
the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the restrictions
noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and
agrees that
any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render
the
Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The
Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to
whom the
Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate,
and
in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is
acting as
nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership
Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person
that
the Transferee knows is a Non-Permitted Transferee. In connection with
any such
Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Securities
Administrator a certificate substantially in the form set forth as
Exhibit H to the Agreement (a “Transferor
Certificate”)
to the
effect that, among other things, such Transferee has no actual knowledge
that
the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is a Non-Permitted
Transferee.
7. The
Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection
of
any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the Certificate.
The
Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due and
intends to
pay its debts as they come due in the future. The Transferee intends
to pay all
taxes due with respect to the Certificate as they become due.
8. The
Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is __________.
9. The
Transferee is not a Disqualified Non-U.S. Person as defined in the
Agreement.
10. The
Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a “noneconomic residual
interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to 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 was to impede
the
assessment or collection of tax.
11. The
Transferee will not cause income from the Residual Certificate to be
attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within
the
meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any
other U.S.
Person.
EXH.
G-2
12. Check
the
applicable paragraph:
¨
The
present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding
the
Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:
(i) the
present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire
such
Certificate;
(ii) the
present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificate;
and
(iii) the
present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding
such
Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.
For
purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax at
the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the
tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the
highest
rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been
subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the
preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current
taxable
year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are
computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed
by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the
compounding period used by the Transferee.
¨
The
transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations
Sections
1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,
(i) the
Transferee is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Certificate will
only be
taxed in the United States;
(ii) at
the
time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee’s two fiscal years
preceding the year of the transfer, the Transferee had gross assets for
financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related
to
the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section
1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of
$10 million;
(iii) the
Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,”
as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in
a
transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i),
(ii)
and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations;
and
(iv) the
Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Certificate
based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to,
borrowing
and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment
assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Transferee)
that it has
determined in good faith.
¨
None
of the above.
EXH.

13. The
Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of
ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan
subject to any Federal, state or local law that is substantially similar
to
Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is
not acting on behalf of or investing plan assets of such a plan.
