This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated as of May 1, 2006 (the “Agreement”), among GREENWICH CAPITAL ACCEPTANCE, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), MAIA MORTGAGE FINANCE STATUTORY TRUST, a Maryland business trust, as seller (the “Seller”), LUMINENT MORTGAGE CAPITAL, INC., a Maryland corporation, as sponsor (the “Sponsor”), GREENWICH CAPITAL FINANCIAL PRODUCTS, INC. (the “Servicing Rights Owner”), ▇▇▇▇▇ FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”) and HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

Through this Agreement, the Depositor intends to cause the issuance and sale of the Luminent Mortgage Trust 2006-4’s Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-4 (the “Certificates”) representing in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership of the Trust, the primary assets of which are the Mortgage Loans (as defined below).

The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates, to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created hereunder. The Certificates will consist of fourteen classes of certificates, designated as (i) the Class A1A Certificates, (ii) the Class A1B Certificates, (iii) the Class A1C Certificates, (iv) the Class X Certificates, (v) the Class PO Certificates, (vi) the Class A-R Certificates, (vii) the Class B-1 Certificates, (viii) the Class B-2 Certificates, (ix) the Class B-3 Certificates, (x) the Class B-4 Certificates, (xi) the Class B-5 Certificates, (xii) the Class B-6 Certificates, (xiii) the Class P Certificates and (xiv) the Class ES Certificates.

As provided herein, an election shall be made that the Trust Fund (exclusive of the assets held in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and the Class ES Distributable Amount (the “Excluded Trust Property”)) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising two real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC” or, in the alternative, the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and the “Upper-Tier REMIC”). Each Certificate, other than the Class A-R and Class ES Certificates, shall represent ownership of a regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC, as described herein. In addition, the LIBOR Certificates represent the right to receive payments in respect of Basis Risk Shortfalls from the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as provided in Section 5.07. The owners of the Class X Certificates beneficially own the Basis Risk Reserve Fund. The Class A-R Certificate represents ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC.

The Lower-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets all property of the Trust Fund, other than the Excluded Trust Property and the Lower-Tier REMIC Interests. The Upper-Tier REMIC shall hold as assets the uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests, other than the Class LT-R Interest. Each such Lower-Tier Interest is hereby designated as a REMIC regular interest.

Lower-Tier REMIC Interests

The following table specifies the Class designation, interest rate, and initial principal amount for each Lower-Tier REMIC Interest:

 

On each Distribution Date, Available Funds shall be allocated among the Lower-Tier Interests in the following order of priority:

On any Distribution Date, after all distributions of Available Funds, Realized Losses shall be allocated among the Lower-Tier Interests in the same order of priority in which principal is distributed among such Lower-Tier Interests pursuant to priorities (i) through (iii) above.

On any Distribution Date, any Prepayment Penalty Amounts received with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the LT-P Interest.

The Certificates

The following table sets forth (or describes) the Class designation, Pass-Through Rate, and Original Class Principal Balance (or Original Class Notional Balance) for each Class of Certificates comprising interests in the Trust Fund created hereunder. Each Class of Certificates, other than the Class A-R and Class ES Certificates, is hereby designated as representing ownership of regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC.

Notwithstanding anything provided herein to the contrary, each of the parties hereto agrees and acknowledges that, notwithstanding the transfer, conveyance and assignment of the Mortgage Loans from the Depositor to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicing Rights Owner remains the sole and exclusive owner of the related Servicing Rights with respect to the SRO Mortgage Loans.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor does hereby assign to the Trustee all of its rights and interest under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including all rights of the Seller and the Sponsor under the Servicing Agreements and Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Trustee hereby accepts such assignment, and shall be entitled to exercise all rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and all rights of the Seller under the Servicing Agreements as if, for such purpose, it were the Depositor or the Seller, as applicable, including the Seller’s right to enforce remedies for breaches of representations and warranties and delivery of Mortgage Loan documents. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over, deposit and conveyance does not and is not intended to result in creation or assumption by the Trustee of any obligation of the Depositor, the Seller or any other Person in connection with the Mortgage Loans or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto except as specifically set forth herein.

In connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cause the applicable Servicer to take, at the expense of the Sponsor (to the extent not paid by the applicable Originator under the related Purchase Agreement) (with the cooperation of the Depositor, the Sponsor and the Master Servicer), such actions as are necessary to cause the MERS^® System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans that are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files the information required by the MERS® System to identify the series of the Certificates issued in connection with the transfer of such Mortgage Loans to the Luminent Mortgage Trust 2006-4.

Assignments of each Mortgage with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan shall be recorded; provided, however, that such assignments need not be recorded if, in the Opinion of Counsel (which must be from Independent Counsel and not at the expense of the Trust Fund or the Trustee) acceptable to the Trustee, each Rating Agency and the Master Servicer, recording in such states is not required to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loans; provided, further, notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers to submit each Assignment of Mortgage for recording, in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust or Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of (1) the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Seller, the Sponsor or the Depositor, or (2) with respect to any one Assignment of Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Subject to the preceding sentence, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date (but in no event more than three months thereafter except to the extent delays are caused by the applicable recording office), the Master Servicer shall cause the applicable Servicer to properly record (with the cooperation of the Depositor, the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) and the Master Servicer), in each public recording office where the related Mortgages are recorded, each assignment referred to in Section 2.01(v) above with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan. To the extent not paid by the applicable Originator under the related Purchase Agreement, (x) any expense relating to an Assignment of Mortgage shall be an expense of the Sponsor in connection with an event described in (1) above to the extent relating to a bankruptcy or insolvency of the Seller or the Sponsor, (y) any expense relating to an Assignment of Mortgage shall be an expense of the Depositor in connection with an event described in (1) above to the extent that it is related to the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Depositor, and (z) any expense relating to an Assignment of Mortgage in connection with an event described in (3) above shall be covered by a Servicing Advance from the applicable Servicer.

Upon receipt of a required custodial certification from the Custodian indicating that the original lender’s title insurance policy, or a certified copy thereof, was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(x) above, the Trustee shall cause the applicable Originator to deliver to it the original or a copy of a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company, with the original or a certified copy thereof to be delivered to the Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof, but in any case within 175 days of the Closing Date. The Sponsor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or its custodian, promptly upon receipt thereof, any other documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received by it or the Seller with respect to any Mortgage Loan sold to the Depositor by the Seller, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge that the functions of the Trustee with respect to the custody, acceptance, inspection and release of the Mortgage Files and preparation and delivery of the custodial certifications described in Section 2.02 shall be performed by the Custodian pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Custodial Agreement.

The Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt by it or by the Custodian on its behalf of the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to review thereof by the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee and declares that it holds or will hold all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

The Trustee (or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee) shall execute and deliver to the Depositor on or prior to the Closing Date an acknowledgment of receipt of the original Mortgage Note (with any exceptions noted), substantially in the form attached as Exhibit G-1 hereto.

The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, review each Mortgage File delivered to it and to certify and deliver to the Depositor, the Sponsor and each Rating Agency an interim certification in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, within 90 days after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage, within five Business Days after the assignment thereof) that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated, damaged or torn and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i), (ii) and (iii) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee and the Custodian on its behalf are under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.

The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be part of the Depositor’s estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any insolvency by the Depositor.

In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Sponsor or the related Originator may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d) and (g) below. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Sponsor or the related Originator to cure or to repurchase or to substitute for (or, with respect to any costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund in connection with any violation of any anti-predatory or anti-abusive lending laws, indemnify for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Sponsor or related Originator, as applicable, respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.

In addition to such repurchase or substitution obligation, the Sponsor shall indemnify the Trust Fund and hold it harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Sponsor’s representations and warranties contained in Section 2.04(i) (only to the extent that it relates to predatory and abusive lending laws) or Section 2.04(ii).

(f) [Reserved]

(g) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.03(g) must be effected prior to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Sponsor substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Sponsor or the related Originator, as applicable, delivering to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01 hereof, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution; provided, however, that, in the case of any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Sponsor or the applicable Originator shall provide such documents and take such other action with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as are required pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof. The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within five Business Days thereafter, shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 hereof and deliver to the Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, with any exceptions noted thereon. Within 180 days of the date of substitution, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall deliver to the Sponsor and the Master Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit G-3 hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Sponsor or the applicable Originator, as the case may be. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the Depositor or the Sponsor, as the case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution effected by the Sponsor, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, in the case of a substitution effected by the Sponsor all representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and all representations and warranties thereof set forth in Section 2.04 hereof, in each case as of the date of substitution, and, in the case of a substitution effected by an Originator, the date of the related Purchase Agreement, including, in the case of a substitution effected by such Originator all representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and all representations and warranties thereof set forth in Section 2.04 hereof, in each case as of the date of substitution.

For any month in which the Sponsor substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Sponsor shall determine, and provide written certification to the Trustee and the Sponsor as to the amount (each, a “Substitution Adjustment”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the principal balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such principal balance at the applicable Net Loan Rate. On or prior to the next Determination Date after the Sponsor’s obligation to repurchase the related Deleted Mortgage Loan arises, the Sponsor will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the related Substitution Adjustment, if any, and the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, shall release to the Sponsor or its designee the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Sponsor shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.

In addition, the Sponsor shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution (either specifically or as a class of transactions) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event. If such Opinion of Counsel cannot be delivered, then such substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given.

(h) Upon discovery by the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Sponsor shall repurchase (to the extent that the failure to constitute a “qualified mortgage” as described in the preceding sentence results from a breach of a representation or warranty of the Sponsor hereunder or in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), or the Trustee shall cause the applicable Originator to repurchase, such Mortgage Loan, or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(e) and (g), the Sponsor shall substitute (to the extent that the failure to constitute a “qualified mortgage” as described in the preceding sentence results from a breach of a representation or warranty of the Sponsor hereunder or in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), or the Trustee shall cause the applicable Originator to substitute, one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(b) above, if made by the Sponsor. The Trustee shall reconvey to the Sponsor or its designee the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

51

---

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

SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Sponsor with Respect to the Mortgage Loans.

The Sponsor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders as of the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans:

(i) Each Mortgage Loan at the time it was made complied in all material respects with applicable local, state, and federal laws, including, but not limited to, all applicable predatory and abusive lending laws.

(ii) No Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Loan” or “Covered Loan,” as applicable, (as such terms are defined in the then current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS^® Glossary, Appendix E, in effect as of the Closing Date) and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act; and

(iii) With respect to each representation and warranty with respect to any Mortgage Loan made by the Originators in the Purchase Agreements that is made as of May 22, 2006, no event has occurred since such date that would render such representations and warranties to be untrue in any material respect as of the Closing Date.

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment. Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests therein of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties, and in no event later than two Business Days from the date of such discovery. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in Section 2.03(b) hereof to cure, substitute for or repurchase (or, with respect to any costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund in connection with any violation of any anti-predatory or anti-abusive lending laws, indemnify for) a related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement constitute the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and warranties incorporated in this Section 2.04.

The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicers to service and administer their respective Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement, and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with each Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, prepare the statements specified in Section 5.04 and any other information and statements required hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers to the related Servicing Accounts pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreements.

The Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with any limited powers of attorney and other documents in form acceptable to the Trustee, necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicers and the Master Servicer to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property, which limited powers of attorney shall provide that the Trustee will not be liable for the actions or omissions of the Servicers or Master Servicer in exercising such powers.

57

---

The Master Servicer shall not without the Trustee’s written consent (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s representative capacity or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for any and all costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer.

The Trustee shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession of the Trustee regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the office of the Trustee; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall not be required to provide access to such records and documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Trustee shall allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that covers the Trustee’s actual costs.

The Trustee, upon the written request of the Master Servicer, shall execute and deliver to the related Servicer and the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee’s sale with respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or equity.

In particular, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall not (a) sell or knowingly permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of deposits in an Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans or is otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC Opinion prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund; and (b) other than with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.03 or 2.04 of this Agreement or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of a REMIC Opinion.

SECTION 3.03. Monitoring of Servicers.

(a) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee (on behalf of the Trust Fund) and the Depositor the compliance by each Servicer with its duties under the related Servicing Agreement. In the review of each Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer’s certificate of the Servicer with regard to such Servicer’s compliance with the terms of its Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer should be terminated in accordance with its Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee thereof, and with respect to the SRO Servicer, the Master Servicer shall also notify the Servicing Rights Owner, and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate and consistent with Section 3.03(b) or, with respect to the SRO Servicer, Section 3.03(f) below.

58

---

(b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trust and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, (a) for the SRO Servicer, act in accordance with Section 3.03(f) below and (b) for any other Servicer, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Master Servicer which the Master Servicer shall cause the Trustee to acknowledge; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action.

(c) To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any termination of a Servicer, appointment of a successor Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer or a successor Servicer with respect to any Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all reasonable legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Servicer as a result of an event of default by such Servicer and (ii) all reasonable costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, or with respect to any terminated SRO Servicer, are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated SRO Servicer (or, solely with respect to a termination of any SRO Servicer without cause, the Servicing Rights Owner), the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such reasonable costs and expenses from the Distribution Account.

59

---

(d) The Master Servicer shall require each Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the related Servicing Agreement.

(e) If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the predecessor Servicer, if any, that it replaces or for any errors, acts or omissions of such predecessor Servicer occurring prior to the termination of such Servicer; provided, however, the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of its liability, if any, as Master Servicer under this Section 3.03(e).

(f) With respect to the SRO Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trust and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of the SRO Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement. In the event that the SRO Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, subject to the paragraph (a) above, the Master Servicer shall terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and the Master Servicer shall act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer that is an Acceptable Successor Servicer selected by the Master Servicer, which the Master Servicer shall cause the Trustee to acknowledge; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that (i) there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer and (ii) during the period in which any successor Servicer appointed by the Master Servicer services the SRO Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the related Servicing Agreement, (a) in connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee, the Seller or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the SRO Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no Subservicing Fee for such successor Servicer shall be in excess of a per annum rate of 0.375% and (b) such successor Servicer must assume all of the obligations of the terminated Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of the related Servicing Agreement and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the SRO Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action from the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the termination of the SRO Servicer for any reason whatsoever, the Servicing Rights Owner, as owner of the related Servicing Rights, shall at all times have the right to present the Master Servicer with a successor SRO Servicer which the Master Servicer will not unreasonably fail to select as the successor SRO Servicer, assuming that such servicer is an Acceptable Successor Servicer and that such servicer will assume all of the obligations of the terminated SRO Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement. The Trustee shall have no duty, and shall not be required, to review the terms of such assumption under the related Servicing Agreement.

(g) It is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that, under the related Servicing Agreement, the SRO Servicer has the right to resign as a SRO Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, provided that such resignation shall not become effective until (i) the Servicing Rights Owner has consented to such resignation, and (ii) a successor Servicer is appointed which (a) is an Acceptable Successor Servicer and (b) which has assumed all of the obligations of the terminated Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement.

60

---

(h) It is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that, subject to the provisions of Section 3.03(f) of this Agreement, under the related Servicing Agreement, the Servicing Rights Owner has the right to terminate the SRO Servicer, without cause, as provided and subject to the limitations of the related Servicing Agreement; provided that such termination shall not become effective until a successor Servicer is appointed which (a) is an Acceptable Successor Servicer and (b) which has assumed all of the obligations of the terminated Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement. Any termination fees owed to the terminated SRO Servicer and any reasonable costs and expenses of the Master Servicer incurred in connection with such termination and transfer of servicing shall be paid by the Servicing Rights Owner.

(i) In the event that the Depositor becomes aware of any Event of Default (as defined in the applicable Servicing Agreement) with respect to any Servicer, it shall promptly provide the Master Servicer with written notice of such Event of Default.

SECTION 3.04. Fidelity Bond.

The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or trustees.

SECTION 3.05. Power to Act; Procedures.

The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article X hereof, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Trust Fund and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and Recoveries and (iv) to effectuate, in its own name, on behalf the Trust Fund, or in the name of the Trust Fund, foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under Section 3.03, shall not permit any Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any limited powers of attorney (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) empowering the Master Servicer or any Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or any Servicer). In instituting foreclosures or similar proceedings, the Master Servicer shall institute such proceedings either in its own name on behalf of the Trust Fund or in the name of the Trust Fund (or cause the related Servicer, pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement, to institute such proceedings either in the name of such Servicer on behalf of the Trust Fund or in the name of the Trust Fund), unless otherwise required by law or otherwise appropriate. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trust Fund or the Trustee on its behalf or that the Trust Fund or the Trustee, as applicable, would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 8.10 hereof. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund.

SECTION 3.06. Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.

To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement and to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 3.07. Release of Mortgage Files.

(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by any Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the Servicer will, if required under the applicable Servicing Agreement, promptly furnish to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the related Servicing Account maintained by the applicable Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 or by the applicable Servicer pursuant to its Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) and shall request that the Trustee (or the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee) deliver to the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File.

Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer or the Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Master Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), to the Servicer or the Master Servicer.

(b)  Except as provided in paragraph (c) below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar shall for all purposes deal with the Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners of the Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Certificate Registrar may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners; and (vii) the direct participants of the Depository shall have no rights under this Agreement under or with respect to any of the Certificates held on their behalf by the Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and their respective agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of the Certificates for all purposes whatsoever.

(c)  If (i)(x) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Certificate Registrar or the Securities Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Holders of Book-Entry Certificates having not less than 51% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates advise the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Depository in writing through the Depository Participants that the continuation of a book-entry system with respect to Certificates through the Depository (or its successor) is no longer in the best interests of the Holders, then the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall request that the Depository notify all Holders of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully registered Certificates to Holders requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Securities Administrator shall, at the Sponsor’s expense, execute on behalf of the Trust and authenticate definitive, fully registered certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”). None of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and the Depositor shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

(d)  No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Private Certificate, other than a Private Certificate sold in an offshore transaction in reliance on Regulation S, shall be made unless such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the Securities Act and laws. Any Private Certificates sold to an “accredited investor” under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act shall be issued only in the form of one or more Definitive Certificates and the records of the Certificate Registrar shall be adjusted to reflect the transfer of such Definitive Certificates. In the event of any transfer of any Private Certificate in the form of a Definitive Certificate, (i) the transferee shall certify (A) such transfer is made to a Qualified Institutional Buyer in reliance upon Rule 144A (as evidenced by an investment letter delivered to the Certificate Registrar, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2) under the Securities Act, or (B) such transfer is made to an “accredited investor” under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act (as evidenced by an investment letter delivered to the Certificate Registrar, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1, and, if so required by the Certificate Registrar, a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, delivered to the Certificate Registrar stating that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, including a description of the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the Securities Act or is being made pursuant to the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor) or (ii) the Certificate Registrar shall require the transferor to execute a transferor certificate and the transferee to execute an investment letter acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar certifying to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator the Certificate Registrar, the Sponsor, the Seller and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Certificate Registrar, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Private Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities laws or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of a Private Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive Certificate shall be made unless the Certificate Registrar shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar (such requirement is satisfied only by the Certificate Registrar’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 or I-2, as applicable, hereto), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer or (ii) if such purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser 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) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Trust, addressed to the Certificate Registrar, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive Certificate will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive Certificate to an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code without the delivery to the Certificate Registrar of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar as described above shall be void and of no effect.

In the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, for purposes of clauses (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, such representations shall be deemed to have been made to the Certificate Registrar by the transferee’s acceptance of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is also a Book-Entry Certificate (or the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in such Certificate).

To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), none of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor shall have any liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.02(d) so long as the transfer was registered by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the foregoing requirements. In addition, none of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor shall be required to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions with respect to any ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Book-Entry Certificate, and none of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor shall have any liability for transfers of Book-Entry Certificates or any interests therein made in violation of the restrictions on transfer described in the Prospectus Supplement and this Agreement.

(e)  Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(i)  Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee who acquires such Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate for its own account and not in the capacity as trustee, nominee or agent for another Person and shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar and the Securities Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as such a Permitted Transferee.

(ii)  No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date and no Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may thereafter be transferred, and the Certificate Registrar shall not register the Transfer of a Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered under subsection (d) above, the Certificate Registrar shall have been furnished with an affidavit (“Transfer Affidavit”) of the initial owner of such Residual Certificate or proposed transferee of a Residual Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L.

(iii)  In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall as a condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to them of a Transferor Certificate in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed transferor to the effect that the transferor (a) has no knowledge the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee acquiring an Ownership Interest in such Residual Certificate for its own account and not in a capacity as trustee, nominee, or agent for another Person, and (b) has not undertaken the proposed transfer in whole or in part to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

(iv)  Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section, become a Holder of such Residual Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of Transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor shall have any liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section so long as the Certificate Registrar received the documents specified in clause (iii). The Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of such Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made on such Residual Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Certificate Registrar shall be distributed and delivered by the Certificate Registrar to the last Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.

101

(v)  If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of such Residual Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of such Residual Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Certificate Registrar to the previous Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Certificate Registrar determines that the Holder of such Residual Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Certificate Registrar may withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Certificate Registrar and it shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in such Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

(vi)  If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then the Securities Administrator upon receipt of reasonable compensation will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to disqualified organizations.

The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the Certificate Registrar and the Servicer, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its ratings of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause the REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.

(f)  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Restricted Global Security or Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, representing the Certificates remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depository, transfers of a Restricted Global Security or Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, representing the Certificates, in whole or in part, shall only be made in accordance with Section 6.01 and this Section 6.02(f).

(i)  Subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 6.02(f), transfers of a Restricted Global Security or Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, representing the Certificates shall be limited to transfers of such a Restricted Global Security or Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the Depository or to a successor of the Depository or such successor’s nominee.

(ii)  Restricted Global Security to Regulation S Global Security.

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

(g)  No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant to its standard procedures.

SECTION 6.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute on behalf of the Trust, and, if applicable, the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest.

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

(i)  the failure by the Master Servicer to (A) make any Advance on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date or (B) to deposit in the Distribution Account any deposit required to be made under the terms of this Agreement, and in either case such failure continues unremedied for a period of two Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, such shorter time period as is provided in the penultimate sentence of Section 7.01(c)); or

(ii)  the failure by the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform, in any material respect, any other covenants, obligations or agreements of the Master Servicer as set forth in this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 60 days, in each case after the date (A) on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights or (B) on which a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of such failure (or, in the case of a breach of its obligation beyond any applicable cure period to provide an assessment of compliance, an attestation report or a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Certification pursuant to Sections 3.16 and 3.18, respectively); or

(iii)  the entry against the Master Servicer of a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, conservatorship, receivership, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 days; or

(iv)  the Master Servicer shall voluntarily go into liquidation, consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;

(b)  then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace period, the Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 51%, or at its option may, by notice then given in writing to the Master Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer as servicer under this Agreement. Any such notice to the Master Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency, the Depositor and the Sponsor. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer (and by the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders) of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee and the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of each Mortgage Loan and related documents or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Master Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the delivery to the Trustee of all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions under this Agreement within ten Business Days subsequent to such notice and the transfer within one Business Day subsequent to such notice to the Trustee for the administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Master Servicer and to be deposited by it in the Distribution Account, any REO Account or any Servicing Account or that have been deposited by the Master Servicer in such accounts or thereafter received by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property received by the Master Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the Master Servicer’s duties and the Mortgage Files to the successor master servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Master Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer (or if the predecessor Master Servicer is the Trustee, the initial Master Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. The termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall not affect any liability it may have incurred prior to such termination. To the extent that such costs and expenses of the Trustee are not fully and timely reimbursed by the predecessor Master Servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution Account. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it. Furthermore, neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be liable for any acts or omissions of the terminated Master Servicer.

(c)  The Securities Administrator shall not later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date notify the Trustee in writing of the Master Servicer’s failure to make any Advance required to be made under this Agreement on such date and the amount of such Advance. By no later than 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on the relevant Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall notify the Trustee of the continuance of such failure or that the Master Servicer has made the Advance, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the terms of the Event of Default described in clause (i)(A) of Section 7.01(a), the Trustee, upon receipt of written notice on the Distribution Date from the Securities Administrator of the continuance of the failure of the Master Servicer to make an Advance, shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately suspend all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereafter arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have as a Certificateholder or to reimbursement of outstanding Advances or other amounts for which the Master Servicer was entitled to reimbursement as of the date of suspension, and the Trustee, subject to the cure provided for in this paragraph, if available, shall act as provided in Section 7.02 to carry out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the obligation to make any Advance (unless such Advance shall have been deemed Nonrecoverable by the Master Servicer or the Trustee) the nonpayment of which is described in clause (i)(A) of Section 7.01(a). Any such action taken by the Trustee must be prior to the distribution on the relevant Distribution Date, and shall have all of the rights incidental thereto. If the Master Servicer shall within two Business Days following such suspension remit to the Trustee the amount of any Advance the nonpayment of which by the Master Servicer is described in clause (i)(A) of Section 7.01(a), together with all other amounts necessary to reimburse the Trustee for actual, necessary and reasonable costs incurred by the Trustee because of action taken pursuant to this subsection (including interest on any Advance or other amounts paid by the Trustee (from and including the respective dates thereof) at a per annum rate equal to the prime rate for U.S. money center commercial banks as published in the Wall Street Journal), then the Trustee, subject to the last two sentences of this paragraph, shall permit the Master Servicer to resume its rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder. If the Master Servicer shall fail to remit such amounts to the Trustee within such two Business Days after the Distribution Date, then an Event of Default shall occur and such notice of suspension shall be deemed to be a notice of termination without any further action on the part of the Trustee. The Master Servicer agrees that if it fails to make a required Advance by 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time) on the related Distribution Date on more than two occasions in any 12 month period, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to permit the Master Servicer to resume its rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder, and notwithstanding the cure period provided in Section 7.01(a)(i)(A), an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred on the relevant Distribution Date.

SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act.

(a)  From and after the date the Master Servicer (and the Trustee, if notice is sent by the Holders) receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as master servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof arising on and after its succession. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any act or omission of the Master Servicer prior to the issuance of any notice of termination. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the Master Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Trustee is unwilling to act as successor master servicer or (ii) if the Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Trustee shall appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, that the appointment of any such successor master servicer shall not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Certificates by each Rating Agency as evidenced by a letter to such effect from each Rating Agency. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the Master Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.18. The appointment of a successor master servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Master Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant to Section 3.14 or to indemnify the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.05), nor shall any successor master servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer; provided, however, that such successor shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to make Advances. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

(b)  Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Master Servicer as Master Servicer shall during the term of its service as Master Servicer continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders, and maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and a Fidelity Bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Master Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.04.

(c)  Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor master servicer to act as successor master servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein.

(d)  The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and any successor master servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder including, without limitation, providing the Trustee and successor master servicer, as applicable, all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor master servicer, as applicable, all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Distribution Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or the Lower Tier Interests or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the Master Servicer to cooperate as required by this Agreement, (iii) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver the Mortgage Loan data as required by this Agreement or (iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer.

ARTICLE IX

REMIC ADMINISTRATION

SECTION 9.01. REMIC Administration.

(a)  As set forth in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement, three REMIC elections shall be made by the Trust. The Trustee shall sign and the Securities Administrator shall file such elections on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. The regular interests in each REMIC created hereunder and the related residual interest shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement. Following the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall apply to the Internal Revenue Service for an employer identification number for each REMIC created hereunder by means of a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method and shall file a Form 8811 with the Internal Revenue Service.

(b)  The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC created hereunder within the meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

(c)  Except as provided in subsection (d) of this Section 9.01, the Securities Administrator shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC created hereunder, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to any such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Securities Administrator in fulfilling its duties hereunder (including the Securities Administrator’s duties as tax return preparer).

(d)  The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file, and the Trustee shall sign all of the federal and state tax and information returns of each REMIC created hereunder (collectively, the “Tax Returns”) as the direct representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such Tax Returns shall be borne by the Securities Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities Administrator shall have no obligation to prepare, file or otherwise deal with partnership tax information or returns. In the event that partnership tax information or returns are required by the Internal Revenue Service, the Depositor, at its own cost and expense, will prepare and file all necessary returns. The Internal Revenue Service has issued OID regulations under Sections 1271 to 1275 of the Code generally addressing the treatment of debt instruments issued with original issue discount. Under those regulations, debt issued to one Person generally is aggregated in determining if there is OID. Because certain Classes of Regular Certificates are expected to be issued to one Person (which intends to continue to hold the Regular Certificates indefinitely and, in any case, for at least 30 days), the Securities Administrator, on behalf of the Trust, intends to determine the existence and amount of any OID as if those Classes of Regular Certificates were one debt instrument.

121

---

(e)  The Securities Administrator shall perform on behalf of each REMIC created hereunder all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of each such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other such guidance, the Securities Administrator, shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of the Class A-R Certificate to any disqualified organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions.

(f)  Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator (to the extent that the affairs of the REMICs are within such Person’s control and the scope of its specific responsibilities under the Agreement) and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of the REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. None of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Holder of a Residual Certificate shall take any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Trustee and the Securities Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC created hereunder or the assets therein, or causing any such REMIC to take any action which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of the Class A-R Certificate will consult with the Securities Administrator or its designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any such REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any such action as to which the Securities Administrator has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.

(g)  Each Holder of the Class A-R Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed on any REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by the Class A-R Certificateholder, the Securities Administrator shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Class A-R Certificate or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular interests in such REMIC, as the case may be.

(h)  The Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

122

---

 

 

(i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC created hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to eligible substitute mortgage loans.

(j) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC created hereunder will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

(k) The Securities Administrator shall treat the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) owned by the holders of the Class X Certificates and not as assets of any REMIC. The Securities Administrator shall treat the rights of the LIBOR Certificateholders to receive distributions from the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as payments under a cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of the LIBOR Certificateholders. Thus, the LIBOR Certificates shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in a REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in an interest rate cap contract. For purposes of determining the issue prices of the Certificates, the interest rate cap contract shall be assumed to have a zero value unless and until required otherwise by an applicable taxing authority.

SECTION 9.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of the REMICs created hereunder pursuant to Article X of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II hereof or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans as contemplated hereunder, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC created hereunder, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC created hereunder after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

ARTICLE X

TERMINATION

SECTION 10.01. Termination.

(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Securities Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and the obligation of the Master Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Class Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan, (iii) the optional purchase of the Mortgage Loans as described in the following paragraph and (iv) the Latest Possible Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof.

Following the date on which the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled payments of principal due during the related Due Period, to the extent received or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal received during the related Prepayment Period) on such date is equal to or less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date (the “Call Option Date”), the Sponsor may, at its option, terminate this Agreement with regard to such Mortgage Loans by purchasing, on the next succeeding Distribution Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and related REO Properties at a price equal to (A) the sum of (i) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled payments of principal due during the related Due Period, to the extent received or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal received during the related Prepayment Period) and (ii) the fair market value of the REO Properties (as reasonably determined and as agreed upon by (x) the Sponsor and (y) the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest of the Class A-R Certificates in their good faith business judgment as of the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 10.01(b)), plus, (B) in each case, interest accrued thereon and not paid or advanced at the weighted average of the Mortgage Rates (net of Servicing Fees) of the Mortgage Loans through the end of the Due Period preceding the final Distribution Date (the “Termination Price”). The fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties shall be required to be made and agreed upon by the Sponsor and the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest of the Class A-R Certificates as provided in (ii) above in their good faith business judgment, and such determination shall take into consideration a reasonable estimate of fair market value obtained from an independent appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Sponsor and the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest of the Class A-R Certificates in their reasonable discretion, such reasonable estimate to be obtained by the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest of the Class A-R Certificates at their expense, and (A) such reasonable estimate shall be obtained at no expense to the Trustee and (B) the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such fair market value determination.

In addition, the Master Servicer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement on any Distribution Date on which the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans as of the end of the immediately preceding Due Period is equal to or less than 5% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance, by purchasing, on such Distribution Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a price equal to the Termination Price; provided, that the right of the Master Servicer to repurchase all the Mortgage Loans shall be exercisable only if the Sponsor has not elected to exercise its optional termination right on or before such date.

In connection with any such purchase pursuant to either of the preceding paragraphs, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts then on deposit in the Distribution Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such purchase after reimbursement or payment to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian of all amounts then due and owing to such parties.

 

124

---

Notwithstanding anything provided herein to the contrary, upon the exercise of the Master Servicer of its Call Option, the Servicing Rights Owner shall retain any and all related Servicing Rights with respect to the SRO Mortgage Loans.

Any purchase under this Section 10.01(a) by the Sponsor or the Master Servicer shall be subject to the rights of the Servicers to continue to service the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the related Servicing Agreements.

(b) Notice of any termination pursuant to the second or third paragraphs of Section 10.01(a), specifying the Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Securities Administrator for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Securities Administrator upon the Securities Administrator receiving written notice of such date from the Sponsor or the Master Servicer, as applicable, which notice shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator no later than five Business Days prior to the 10th day of the month of such final distribution, by letter to the Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day and not later than the 19th day of the month of such final distribution specifying (1) the Distribution Date upon which final distributions on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of the Securities Administrator therein designated, (2) the amount of any such final distribution and (3) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Securities Administrator therein specified. The Securities Administrator shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Holders of the Certificates. Upon any such termination, the duties of the Certificate Registrar with respect to the Certificates shall terminate and the Securities Administrator shall terminate the Distribution Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates, subject to the Securities Administrator’s obligation hereunder to hold all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment.

(c) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Certificates on the Distribution Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage Interests of their respective Class and to the extent that funds are available for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to such Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 hereof for such Distribution Date.

(d) In the event that all Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before such final Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall promptly following such date cause all funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate account for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Securities Administrator shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within nine months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto, and the Securities Administrator upon transfer of such funds shall be discharged of any responsibility for such funds, and the Certificateholders shall look to the Master Servicer for payment.

SECTION 10.02. Additional Termination Requirements.

(a) In the event the purchase option provided in Section 10.01 is exercised, the Trust shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements:

(i) The Trustee at the direction of the Securities Administrator shall cause any remaining assets of the Trust Fund to be sold to the Sponsor or its designee or ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, N.A. or its designee, as the case may be, for cash and, within 90 days of such sale, shall distribute to (or credit to the account of) the Certificateholders the proceeds of such sale together with any cash on hand (less amounts retained to meet claims) in complete liquidation of the Trust Fund, and each REMIC created hereunder; and

(ii) The Securities Administrator shall attach a statement to the final federal income tax return for each REMIC created hereunder stating that pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.860F-1, the first day of the 90 day liquidation period for such REMIC was the date on which the Trustee sold the assets of the Trust Fund and shall satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator obtained at the expense of the Sponsor.

(b) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby appoint the Trustee and the Securities Administration as their attorneys in fact to undertake the foregoing steps.

In addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by Seller, the Sponsor, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and with the consent of the Majority Certificateholders for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment or waiver shall (x) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments on the Certificates that are required to be made on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (y) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in clause (x) above, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing at least a 66% Percentage Interest in such Class, or (z) reduce the percentage of Voting Rights required by clause (y) above without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.
