PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be issued
hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire
beneficial ownership interest of the Trust Fund created hereunder. The Trust
Fund will consist of a segregated pool of assets comprised of the Mortgage Loans
and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement.
REMIC I
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated pool
of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets
subject to this Agreement (other than the Reserve Fund and, for the avoidance of
doubt, the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Swap Agreement) as a REMIC for
federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be
designated as "REMIC I". The Class R-I Interest will be the sole class of
"residual interests" in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined
herein). The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the REMIC I
Remittance Rate, the initial Uncertificated Balance and, for purposes of
satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the "latest possible
maturity date" for each of the REMIC I Regular Interests (as defined herein).
None of the REMIC I Regular Interests will be certificated.

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the
Depositor, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and
the Trustee agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
SECTION 1.01. Defined Terms.
Whenever used in this Agreement, including, without limitation, in the
Preliminary Statement hereto, the following words and phrases, unless the
context otherwise requires, shall have the meanings specified in this Article.
Unless otherwise specified, all calculations described herein shall be made on
the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
"Accepted Master Servicing Practices": With respect to any Mortgage
Loan, as applicable, either (x) those customary mortgage master servicing
practices of prudent mortgage servicing institutions that master service
mortgage loans of the same type and quality as such Mortgage Loan in the
jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is located, to the extent
applicable to the Master Servicer or (y) as provided in Section 3.01 hereof, but
in no event below the standard set forth in clause (x).
"Accepted Servicing Practices": As defined in Section 3.01.
"Account": The Collection Accounts and the Distribution Account, as the
context may require.
"Accrued Certificate Interest": With respect to any Class A
Certificate, Mezzanine Certificate or Class CE Certificate and each Distribution
Date, interest accrued during the related Interest Accrual Period at the
Pass-Through Rate for such Certificate for such Distribution Date on the
Certificate Principal Balance, in the case of the Class A Certificates and the
Mezzanine Certificates, or on the Notional Amount in the case of the Class CE
Certificates, of such Certificate immediately prior to such Distribution Date.
The Class P Certificates are not entitled to distributions in respect of
interest and, accordingly, will not accrue interest. All distributions of

Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Interest Determination
Date; provided that if such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate
for such date will be determined on the basis of the offered rates of the
Reference Banks for one-month U.S. dollar deposits, as of 11:00 a.m. (London
time) on such Interest Determination Date. In such event, the Securities
Administrator will request the principal London office of each of the Reference
Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If on such Interest Determination
Date, two or more Reference Banks provide such offered quotations, One-Month
LIBOR for the related Interest Accrual Period shall be the arithmetic mean of
such offered quotations (rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole

The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust, without recourse, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, all the right, title and interest of the Depositor,
including any security interest therein for the benefit of the Depositor, in and
to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the rights of
the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the Assignment
Agreement (including, without limitation the right to enforce the obligations of
the other parties thereto thereunder), the right to any Net Swap Payment and any

or to be included in REMIC I. Such assignment includes all interest and
principal received by the Depositor and the Servicers on or with respect to the
Mortgage Loans (other than payments of principal and interest due on such
Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date). The Depositor herewith delivers
to the Trustee and each Servicer an executed copy of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement.
In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does
hereby deliver to, and deposit with the Custodian pursuant to the related
Custodial Agreement the documents with respect to each Mortgage Loan as
described under Section 2 of the Custodial Agreement (the "Mortgage Loan
Documents"). In connection with such delivery and as further described in the
Custodial Agreements, the Custodians will be required to review such Mortgage
Loan Documents and deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the related Servicer
and the Seller certifications (in the forms attached to the Custodial Agreement)
with respect to such review with exceptions noted thereon. In addition, under
the Custodial Agreements the Depositor will be required to cure certain defects
with respect to the Mortgage Loan Documents for the related Mortgage Loans after
the delivery thereof by the Depositor to the Custodians as more particularly set
forth therein.
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, including,
but not limited to certain insurance policies and documents contemplated by
Section 4.11 of this Agreement, and preparation and delivery of the
certifications shall be performed by the Custodians pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Custodial Agreements.
The Depositor shall deliver or cause the related originator to deliver
to the related Servicer copies of all trailing documents required to be included
in the related Mortgage File at the same time the originals or certified copies
thereof are delivered to the Trustee or Custodians, such documents including the
mortgagee policy of title insurance and any Mortgage Loan Documents upon return
from the recording office. The Servicers shall not be responsible for any
custodian fees or other costs incurred in obtaining such documents and the
Depositor shall cause the Servicers to be reimbursed for any such costs the
Servicers may incur in connection with performing their obligations under this
Agreement or under the Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
The Mortgage Loans permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be
included in the Trust are limited to (i) Mortgage Loans (which the Depositor
acquired pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which contains, among
other representations and warranties, a representation and warranty of the
Seller that no Mortgage Loan is a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New
Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, as defined in the New
Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004, as defined in the
Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act, effective November 7, 2004
(Mass. Ann. Laws Ch. 183C) or as defined in the Indiana Home Loan Practices Act,
effective January 1, 2005 (Ind. Code Ann. Sections 24-9-1 through 24-9-9)) and
(ii) Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (which, by definition as set forth
herein and referred to in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, are required to
conform to, among other representations and warranties, the representation and
warranty of the Seller that no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is a
"High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective
November 27, 2003 or as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act
effective January 1, 2004, as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan
Practices Act, effective November 7, 2004 (Mass. Ann. Laws Ch. 183C) or as
defined in the Indiana Home Loan Practices Act, effective January 1, 2005 (Ind.
Code Ann. Sections 24-9-1 through 24-9-9). The Depositor and the Trustee on
behalf of the Trust understand and agree that it is not intended that any
mortgage loan be included in the Trust that is a "High-Cost Home Loan" as
defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, as
defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004, as
defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act, effective
November 7, 2004 (Mass. Ann. Laws Ch. 183C) or as defined in the Indiana Home
Loan Practices Act, effective January 1, 2005 (Ind. Code Ann. Sections 24-9-1
through 24-9-9).
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of REMIC I by Trustee.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt, subject to the provisions of Section
2.01 hereof and Section 2 of the Custodial Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan
Documents and all other assets included in the definition of "REMIC I" under
clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) (to the extent of amounts deposited into the
Distribution Account) and declares that it holds (or the applicable Custodian on
its behalf holds) and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered
to it constituting a Mortgage Loan Document, and that it holds (or the
applicable Custodian on its behalf holds) or will hold all such assets and such
other assets included in the definition of "REMIC I" in trust for the exclusive
use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
SECTION 2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans.
(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective
document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of a breach
by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan that materially and
adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller and the related
Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller
deliver such missing document, cure such defect or breach within sixty (60) days
from the date the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or
breach, and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such
defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall
enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within
ninety (90) days after the date on which the Seller was notified of such missing
document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Seller is obligated to
do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price for the
repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the related Servicer for deposit
in the related Collection Account or Custodial Account, as applicable, the
related and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from such
Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause the applicable Custodian (upon
receipt of a request for release in the form attached to the respective
Custodial Agreement) to release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the
Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in
each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Seller shall
furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall not have any further
responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any
such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, the Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from
REMIC I (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute
one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.03(b) of this Agreement. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to
substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material
defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has
occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such
omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee and the Certificateholders.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any breach of a
representation or warranty contained in clauses (xxxiv), (xxxviii), (xxxix),
(xl), (xli), (xlvi), (xlvii) and/or (lvi) of Section 6 of the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement shall be automatically deemed to affect materially and
adversely the interests of the Certificateholders.
In addition, promptly upon the earlier of discovery by a Servicer or
receipt of notice by a Servicer of the breach of the representation or covenant
of the Seller set forth in Section 5(xii) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of
the Class P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, such Servicer shall promptly
notify the Seller and the Trustee of such breach. The Trustee shall enforce the
obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remedy
such breach to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement.
(b) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted
Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) of this Agreement must be
effected prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected
by the Seller delivering to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of
the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and
agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section
2 of the Custodial Agreement, as applicable, together with an Officers'
Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall
Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The
applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt of such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten (10) Business Days
thereafter, review such documents and deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and
the related Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, an initial certification pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of
substitution, the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall deliver to
the Depositor, the Trustee and the related Servicer a final certification
pursuant to the Custodial Agreement with respect to such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly
Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of
substitution are not part of REMIC I and will be retained by the Seller. For the
month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the
Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in
the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain
all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The
Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the
Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the
Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from
the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan
Schedule to the Trustee and the related Servicer. Upon such substitution, such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Trust
Fund and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including all applicable representations and
warranties thereof included herein or in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the related
Servicer will determine the amount (the "Substitution Shortfall Amount"), if
any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan,
the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together
with one month's interest on such Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable
Net Mortgage Rate, plus all outstanding P&I Advances and Servicing Advances
(including Nonrecoverable P&I Advances and Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances)
related thereto. On the date of such substitution, the Seller will deliver or
cause to be delivered to the related Servicer for deposit in the related
Collection Account or the Custodial Account an amount equal to the Substitution
Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf
of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or Loans, upon receipt of a request for release in the form attached to the
respective Custodial Agreement and certification by the related Servicer of such
deposit, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File or Files and the
Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in
each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as the Seller shall
deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage
Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not
cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any Trust REMIC, including without
limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section
860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after the startup date" under
Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
(c) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, a Servicer or the
Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact
shall within two (2) Business Days give written notice thereof to the other
parties. In connection therewith, the Seller shall repurchase or substitute one
or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan
within ninety (90) days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice
with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or substitution
shall be made by (i) the Seller if the affected Mortgage Loan's status as a
non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant made by the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan's status as a
non-qualified mortgage does not result from a breach of a representation or
warranty. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner
as set forth in Section 2.03(a) of this Agreement. The Trustee shall reconvey to
the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner,
and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased
for breach of a representation or warranty.
(d) With respect to a breach of the representations made pursuant to
Section 5(xii) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that materially and
adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the
Certificateholders, the Seller shall be required to take the actions set forth
in this Section 2.03 of this Agreement.
(e) Within ninety (90) days of the earlier of discovery by Wells Fargo
or receipt of notice by Wells Fargo of the breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant of Wells Fargo set forth in Section 2.05 of this Agreement
which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders
in any Mortgage Loan or Prepayment Charge, Wells Fargo shall cure such breach in
all material respects.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE WELLS FARGO MORTGAGE LOANS; ACCOUNTS
SECTION 3.01. Wells Fargo to Act as Servicer.
The obligations of Wells Fargo hereunder to service and administer the
Mortgage Loans shall be limited to the Wells Fargo Mortgage Loans, and with
respect to the duties and obligations of Wells Fargo, references herein to the
related Mortgage Loans shall be limited to the Wells Fargo Mortgage Loans (and
the related proceeds and related REO Properties). In addition, from and after
the Closing Date, the Countrywide Mortgage Loans will be serviced and
administered by Countrywide pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, and Wells Fargo
will have no responsibility to service or administer such Mortgage Loans or have
any other obligation with respect to such Mortgage Loans (including reporting or
remitting funds to the Master Servicer). Except as otherwise expressly stated
herein, references in this Article III to "Servicer" shall refer to Wells Fargo,
and any successor thereto as a Servicer.
On and after the Closing Date, Wells Fargo shall service and administer
the Wells Fargo Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trust Fund and in the best
interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (as determined by
Wells Fargo in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans and all applicable law and
regulations and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner in
which it services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio,
giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of prudent
mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but
without regard to:
(i) any relationship that Wells Fargo or any of its Affiliates
may have with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) the ownership of any Certificate by Wells Fargo or any of
its Affiliates;
(iii) Wells Fargo's obligation to make P&I Advances or
Servicing Advances; or
(iv) Wells Fargo's right to receive compensation for its
services hereunder;
To the extent consistent with the foregoing, Wells Fargo shall also
seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on
the related Mortgage Notes and shall waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a
Prepayment Charge only under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is
standard and customary in servicing similar Mortgage Loans and such waiver is
related to a default or reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the
reasonable judgment of Wells Fargo, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking
into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan
and, if such waiver is made in connection with a refinancing of the related
Mortgage Loan, such refinancing is related to a default or a reasonably
foreseeable default, (ii) such Prepayment Charge is unenforceable in accordance
with applicable law or the collection of such related Prepayment Charge would
otherwise violate applicable law or (iii) the collection of such Prepayment
Charge would be considered "predatory" pursuant to written guidance published or
issued by any applicable federal, state or local regulatory authority acting in
its official capacity and having jurisdiction over such matters. If the Servicer
waives any Prepayment Charge other than pursuant to the standard set forth in
this Section 3.01, the Servicer will pay the amount of such waived Prepayment
Charge, from its own funds without any right of reimbursement, for the benefit
of the Holders of the Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the
Collection Account within ninety (90) days of the earlier of discovery by the
Servicer or receipt of notice by the Servicer of such breach. Furthermore,
notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any payments made by the
Servicer in respect of any waived Prepayment Charges pursuant to this paragraph
shall be deemed to be paid outside of the Trust Fund.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the
event the Prepayment Charge payable under the terms of the Mortgage Note is less
than the amount of the Prepayment Charge set forth in the Prepayment Charge
Schedule or other information provided to Wells Fargo, Wells Fargo and the
Master Servicer shall not have any liability or obligation with respect to such
difference (including any obligation to recalculate any prepayment charges), and
in addition shall not have any liability or obligation to pay the amount of any
uncollected Prepayment Charge if the failure to collect such amount is the
direct result of inaccurate or incomplete information on the Prepayment Charge
Schedule.
Subject only to the above-described servicing standards (the "Accepted
Servicing Practices") and the terms of this Agreement and of the related
Mortgage Loans, Wells Fargo shall have full power and authority, to do or cause
to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration which it may deem necessary or desirable with the goal of
maximizing proceeds of the Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Wells Fargo in its own name is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee when Wells Fargo believes it appropriate in its best judgment, to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders and the
Trustee or any of them, and upon written notice to the Trustee, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or
discharge or subordination, and all other comparable instruments, with respect
to the related Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties and to
institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as
to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held
title to such properties, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Trust
Fund and the Certificateholders. Wells Fargo shall service and administer the
Wells Fargo Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law
and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them
thereby. Wells Fargo shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with
all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard
insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.14, the Trustee shall execute, at the
written request of a Servicer, and furnish to such Servicer a power of attorney
in the form of Exhibit D hereto and other documents necessary or appropriate to
enable such Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties
hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and furnished to the
Trustee by such Servicer, and the Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of
such Servicer under such powers of attorney and shall be indemnified by such
Servicer for any cost, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee in
connection with such Servicer's use or misuse of any such power of attorney.
In accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, Wells Fargo shall make
or cause to be made Servicing Advances as necessary for the purpose of effecting
the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which
Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related
collections from the related Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.07 of this
Agreement, and further as provided in Section 3.09 of this Agreement; provided,
however, Wells Fargo shall only make such Servicing Advance if the related
Mortgagor has not made such payment and if the failure to make such Servicing
Advance would result in the loss of the related Mortgaged Property due to a tax
sale or foreclosure as result of a tax lien. Any cost incurred by Wells Fargo in
effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall
not, for the purpose of calculating the Stated Principal Balance of such
Mortgage Loan or distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms
of such Mortgage Loan so permit. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that
Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.09 of this
Agreement, and agree that no Servicing Advance shall be rejected or disallowed
by any party unless it has been shown that such Servicing Advance was not made
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Servicer
may make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan and no Servicer
shall permit any modification with respect to any related Mortgage Loan that
would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except
for reductions resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final
maturity date on such related Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.06
of this Agreement, the related Mortgagor is in default with respect to the
related Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of Wells Fargo,
reasonably foreseeable) or any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of
any related Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance
of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or
proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust
REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the
imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions after the
startup date" under the REMIC Provisions.
In the event that the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to a Mortgage
Loan contain provisions requiring the related Mortgagor to arbitrate disputes
(at the option of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust), the Trustee hereby
authorizes Wells Fargo to waive the Trustee's right or option to arbitrate
disputes and to send written notice of such waiver to the Mortgagor, although
the Mortgagor may still require arbitration at its option.
Wells Fargo will fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit
Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete
information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to
Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company or their successors
on a monthly basis.
SECTION 3.02. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between a Servicer and
Sub-Servicers.
The Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by a
Sub- Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement; provided that such
sub-servicing arrangement and the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement
must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent
with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Each Sub-Servicer shall
be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states where the related
Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent
required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations
hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) a Freddie Mac or Fannie
Mae approved mortgage servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any
Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between a Servicer or a Sub-Servicer or reference to
actions taken through the Servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders
for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or
liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by
virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under
the same terms and conditions as if such Servicer alone were servicing and
administering the Mortgage Loans. Every Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by
a Servicer shall contain a provision giving the successor servicer the option to
terminate such agreement in the event a successor servicer is appointed. All
actions of each Sub-Servicer performed pursuant to the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Servicer with the same force and
effect as if performed directly by such Servicer.
For purposes of this Agreement, the related Servicer shall be deemed to
have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the
Mortgage Loans that are received by a Sub-Servicer regardless of whether such
payments are remitted by the Sub-Servicer to the related Servicer.
SECTION 3.03. Successor Sub-Servicers.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that Wells Fargo shall be
entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and to either itself directly
service the related Mortgage Loans or enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with
a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02. Any Sub-Servicing
Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately
terminated by any successor to Wells Fargo (which may be the Trustee or the
Master Servicer) without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in
the event that Wells Fargo (or any successor to Wells Fargo) shall, for any
reason, no longer be the Servicer of the related Mortgage Loans (including
termination due to a Servicer Event of Default).
SECTION 3.04. No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicer, Trustee
or the Certificateholders.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement and any other transactions or services
relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer shall be deemed to be
between the Sub-Servicer and Wells Fargo alone and the Master Servicer, Trustee
and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no
claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any
Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section 3.05 of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.05. Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreement by
Successor Servicer.
In connection with the assumption of the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities and of the authority, power and rights of Wells Fargo hereunder by a
successor servicer (which may be the Trustee or the Master Servicer) pursuant to
Section 8.02, it is understood and agreed that such Servicer's rights and
obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement then in force between such
Servicer and a Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by such successor
servicer without act or deed on the part of such successor servicer; provided,
however, that any successor servicer may terminate the Sub-Servicer.
Each Servicer shall, upon the reasonable request of the Master
Servicer, but at its own expense, deliver to the assuming party documents and
records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and an accounting of amounts
collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the
orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming
party.
The Servicing Fee payable to any such successor servicer shall be
payable from payments received on the related Mortgage Loans in the amount and
in the manner set forth in this Agreement.
SECTION 3.06. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
Wells Fargo shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments
called for under the terms and provisions of the related Mortgage Loans, and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and
Accepted Servicing Practices, follow such collection procedures as it would
follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held
for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing, Wells Fargo may in its
discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest
or (ii) extend the due dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note
related to a Mortgage Loan for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided
that any extension pursuant to this clause shall not affect the amortization
schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default
or, in the judgment of Wells Fargo, such default is reasonably foreseeable,
Wells Fargo, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices may waive, modify or
vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that change the
Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final
maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor
of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of
such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any
such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in Wells Fargo's
determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not
materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into
account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action).
SECTION 3.07. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Servicing Accounts. To the extent the terms of a Mortgage provide for Escrow
Payments, Wells Fargo shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the
"Servicing Accounts"), into which all collections from the Mortgagors (or
related advances from Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments,
fire, flood, and hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items for the account
of the Mortgagors ("Escrow Payments") shall be deposited and retained. Servicing
Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. Wells Fargo shall deposit in the Servicing
Accounts on a daily basis and in no event later than the second Business Day
after receipt, and retain therein, all Escrow Payments collected on account of
the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of any such
items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from
a Servicing Account may be made by Wells Fargo only to (i) effect timely payment
of taxes, assessments, fire, flood, and hazard insurance premiums, and
comparable items; (ii) reimburse itself out of related collections for any
Servicing Advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and
assessments) and Section 3.11 (with respect to fire, flood and hazard
insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be
overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors
on balances in the Servicing Account; or, only to the extent not required to be
paid to the related Mortgagors, to pay itself interest on balances in the
Servicing Account; or (v) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the
termination of Wells Fargo's obligations and responsibilities in respect of the
Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article X. As part of its
servicing duties, Wells Fargo shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in
Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that
interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such
interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Servicer shall be obligated to collect Escrow
Payments if the related Mortgage Loan does not require such payments but Wells
Fargo shall nevertheless be obligated to make Servicing Advances as provided in
Section 3.01 and Section 3.11. In the event a Servicer shall deposit in the
Servicing Accounts any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at
any time withdraw such amount from the Servicing Accounts, any provision to the
contrary notwithstanding.
To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments,
Wells Fargo (i) shall determine whether any such payments are made by the
Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that is necessary to avoid the loss of the
Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax
lien and (ii) shall ensure that all insurance required to be maintained on the
Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Agreement is maintained. If any such payment
has not been made and Wells Fargo receives notice of a tax lien with respect to
the Mortgage Loan being imposed, Wells Fargo shall, promptly and to the extent
required to avoid loss of the Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be
advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property unless
Wells Fargo determines the advance to be nonrecoverable. Wells Fargo assumes
full responsibility for the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments
of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the
payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing
Advances to effect such payments subject to its determination of recoverability.
SECTION 3.08. Collection Account, Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account
and Distribution Account.
(a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, Wells Fargo shall establish and
maintain one or more "Collection Accounts", held in trust for the benefit of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, Wells Fargo
shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account on a daily
basis and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following
payments and collections received or made by it on or subsequent to the Cut-off
Date other than amounts attributable to a Due Date on or prior to the Cut-off
Date:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the related Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related
Servicing Fee and any Prepayment Interest Excess) on each related
Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other
than proceeds collected in respect of any particular REO Property) and
all Subsequent Recoveries with respect to the related Mortgage Loans;
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited by Wells Fargo
pursuant to Section 3.10 of this Agreement in connection with any
losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in
the Collection Account;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by Wells Fargo
pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.11(a)of this Agreement in
respect of any blanket policy deductibles;
(vi) any Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount
delivered to Wells Fargo and all proceeds (net of amounts payable or
reimbursable to Wells Fargo, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Custodians or the Securities Administrator) of Mortgage Loans purchased
in accordance with Section 2.03, Section 3.13 or Section 10.01 of this
Agreement; and
(vii) any Prepayment Charges collected by Wells Fargo in
connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans
or amounts required to be deposited by Wells Fargo in connection with a
breach of its obligations to collect a Prepayment Charge under Section
3.01 of this Agreement.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the related Collection
Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment
charges, assumption fees or other similar fees need not be deposited by Wells
Fargo in the related Collection Account and may be retained by Wells Fargo as
additional servicing compensation. In the event a Servicer shall deposit in the
related Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it
may at any time withdraw such amount from the related Collection Account, any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) Except as set forth below, no later than the Closing Date, each
Servicer servicing Simple Interest Mortgage Loans shall establish and maintain a
sub-account of the Collection Account titled "[Servicer's name], Simple Interest
Excess Sub-Account in trust for the Holders of ACE Securities Corp., Home Equity
Loan Trust, Series 2005-SD3, Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates". The
related Servicer shall, on each Determination Date transfer from the Collection
Account to the Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account all Net Simple Interest
Excess, if any, pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(xi) of this Agreement, and shall
maintain a record of all such deposits. In lieu of establishing a Simple
Interest Excess Sub-Account, each Servicer may maintain any Net Simple Interest
Excess in the Collection Account and maintain a separate accounting therefor.
The related Servicer shall withdraw amounts on deposit in the Simple
Interest Excess Sub-Account or in the related Collection Account (in respect of
any Net Simple Interest Excess) on each Determination Date for deposit to the
Distribution Account in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount on
deposit therein, and (ii) the Net Simple Interest Shortfall for such
Distribution Date.
The related Servicer shall remit to the Securities Administrator which
shall thereupon distribute to the Class CE-1 Certificateholder, based on the
information provided to it by the Servicer, the amount of any Net Simple
Interest Excess remaining in the Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account or in the
related Collection Account, as applicable, on the Distribution Date each year
occurring in December, commencing in December 2006. Such distributions shall be
deemed to be made on a first-in, first-out basis. In addition, the related
Servicer shall clear and terminate the Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account, if
any, upon the termination of this Agreement and retain any funds remaining
therein.
(c) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator shall
establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the
"Distribution Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee, the Trust
Fund and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, Wells Fargo shall
deliver to the Securities Administrator in immediately available funds for
deposit in the Distribution Account on the Servicer Remittance Date, that
portion of the Available Distribution Amount (calculated without regard to the
references in clause (2) of the definition thereof to amounts that may be
withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then
on deposit in the related Collection Account and the amount of all Prepayment
Charges collected by Wells Fargo in connection with the Principal Prepayment of
any of the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the related Collection Account and
the amount of any funds reimbursable to an Advance Financing Person pursuant to
Section 3.25 of this Agreement. If the balance on deposit in a Collection
Account exceeds 100,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day
and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to
clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible Account," Wells Fargo shall, on or
before 5:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the
Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Depositor,
Wells Fargo, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or
the Seller pursuant to Section 3.09 of this Agreement and shall pay such amounts
to the Persons entitled thereto or shall establish a separate Collection Account
(which shall also be an Eligible Account) and withdraw from the existing
Collection Account the amount on deposit therein in excess of 100,000 and
deposit such excess in the newly created Collection Account.
With respect to any remittance received by the Securities Administrator
on or after the first Business Day following the Business Day on which such
payment was due, the Securities Administrator shall send written notice thereof
to the Servicer. Wells Fargo shall pay to the Securities Administrator interest
on any such late payment by such Servicer at an annual rate equal to Prime Rate
(as defined in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL) plus one percentage point, but in no
event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest
shall be paid by Wells Fargo to the Securities Administrator on the date such
late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day
following the related Servicer Remittance Date and ending with the Business Day
on which such payment is made, both inclusive. The payment by Wells Fargo of any
such interest, or the failure of the Securities Administrator to notify Wells
Fargo of such interest, shall not be deemed an extension of time for payment or
a waiver of any Event of Default by Wells Fargo.
(d) Funds in the Collection Accounts, in each Simple Interest Excess
Sub-Account and in the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.10. Wells
Fargo shall give notice to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the
Master Servicer of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when
established and prior to any change thereof. The Securities Administrator shall
give notice to the Servicers and the Depositor of the location of the
Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof.
(e) Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered
by Wells Fargo in immediately available funds to the Securities Administrator
for deposit in the Distribution Account. In the event a Servicer shall deliver
to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account any
amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the
Securities Administrator withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and
remit to it any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. In no event shall the Securities Administrator incur liability
as a result of withdrawals from the Distribution Account at the direction of a
Servicer in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In addition,
Wells Fargo shall deliver to the Securities Administrator no later than the
Servicer Remittance Date the amounts set forth in clauses (i) through (iv)
below:
(i) any P&I Advances, as required pursuant to Section 5.03 of
this Agreement;
(ii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.21(d) or 3.21(f) of this Agreement in connection with any related REO
Property;
(iii) any amounts to be paid in connection with a purchase of
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 10.01 of this
Agreement; and
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.22 of this Agreement in connection with any Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls.
SECTION 3.09. Withdrawals from the Collection Account and Distribution
Account.
(a) Wells Fargo shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the
related Collection Account for any of the following purposes or as described in
Section 5.03 of this Agreement:
(i) to remit to the Securities Administrator for deposit in
the Distribution Account the amounts required to be so remitted
pursuant to Section 3.08(b) of this Agreement or permitted to be so
remitted pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.08(d) of this
Agreement;
(ii) subject to Section 3.13(d) of this Agreement, to
reimburse itself (including any successor Servicer) for P&I Advances
made by it, but only to the extent of amounts received which represent
Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of Monthly
Payments on related Mortgage Loans with respect to which such P&I
Advances were made in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.03;
(iii) subject to Section 3.13(d) of this Agreement, to pay
itself any unpaid Servicing Fees and reimburse itself any unreimbursed
Servicing Advances with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, but only
to the extent of any Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds
received with respect to such related Mortgage Loan;
(iv) to pay to itself as servicing compensation (in addition
to the Servicing Fee) on the Servicer Remittance Date any interest or
investment income earned on funds deposited in the Collection Account
and the Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account;
(v) to pay to itself or the Seller, as the case may be, with
respect to each related Mortgage Loan that has previously been
purchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 3.13(c) of
this Agreement all amounts received thereon not included in the
Purchase Price or the Substitution Shortfall Amount;
(vi) to reimburse itself (including any successor to Wells
Fargo) for
(A) any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance previously made by it
which Wells Fargo has determined to be a Nonrecoverable P&I
Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.03 of this Agreement; or
(B) any unpaid Servicing Fees to the extent not recoverable
from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or other amounts
received with respect to the related Mortgage Loan under
Section 3.06(a)(iii) of this Agreement;
(vii) to reimburse itself or the Depositor for expenses
incurred by or reimbursable to itself or the Depositor, as the case may
be, pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 7.03 of this Agreement;
(viii) to reimburse itself or the Trustee, as the case may be,
for expenses reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect
giving rise to the purchase obligation under Section 2.03 of this
Agreement that were included in the Purchase Price of the related
Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of

the related Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it,
pursuant to subclauses (ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x)
above.
(b) The Securities Administrator shall, from time to time, make

without priority:
(i) to make distributions to Certificateholders in accordance
with Section 5.01 of this Agreement;
(ii) to pay to itself, the Custodians and the Master Servicer

SECTION 3.10. Investment of Funds in the Investment Accounts.
(a) Wells Fargo may direct, by means of written directions (which may
be standing directions), any depository institution maintaining the related
Collection Account or Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account to invest the funds in
such Collection Account or Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account (for purposes of
this Section 3.10, an "Investment Account") in one or more Permitted Investments
bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand,
(i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such
funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement,
if a Person other than the Securities Administrator is the obligor thereon, and
(ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Securities Administrator is
the obligor on such Permitted Investment. Amounts in the Distribution Account
may be invested in Permitted Investments as directed in writing by the Master
Servicer and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business
Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be
withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than
the Securities Administrator is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the
date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant
to this Agreement, if the Securities Administrator is the obligor thereon. All
such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand.
Any investment of funds shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its
capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Securities
Administrator shall be entitled to sole possession over each such investment in
the Distribution Account and, subject to subsection (b) below, the income
thereon, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment
shall be delivered directly to the Securities Administrator or its agent,
together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such
investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in a
Collection Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on
demand, the party with investment discretion over such Investment Account shall:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given
thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last
day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder
in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then
payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn
on such date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon
receipt by such party of written notice from Wells Fargo that
such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted
Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the
Investment Account.
(b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited
in a Collection Account or Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account shall be for the
benefit of the related Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in
accordance with Section 3.09. Wells Fargo shall deposit in the Collection
Account or Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account maintained by it the amount of any
loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in
such account immediately upon realization of such loss. All earnings and gain
realized from the investment of funds deposited in the Distribution Account
shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall remit
from its own funds for deposit into the Distribution Account the amount of any
loss incurred on Permitted Investments in the Distribution Account.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or
if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted
Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 9.01 and Section 9.02(a)(v),
shall, at the written direction of Wells Fargo, take such action as may be
appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
(d) The Trustee, the Master Servicer or their respective Affiliates are
permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the
Trustee's or the Master Servicer's economic self-interest for (i) serving as
investment adviser, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or
sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using
Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii)
effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments. Such compensation shall
not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable to the Trustee or
the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 or 3.10 or otherwise payable in
respect of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses. Such additional compensation shall
not be an expense of the Trust Fund.
SECTION 3.11. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance, Errors and Omissions and
Fidelity Coverage and Primary Mortgage Insurance.
(a) The terms of each Mortgage Note require the related Mortgagor to
maintain fire, flood and hazard insurance policies. To the extent such policies
are not maintained, Wells Fargo shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgaged
Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the
area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least
equal to the lesser of the current principal balance of the related Mortgage
Loan and the amount necessary to compensate fully for any damage or loss to the
improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement cost basis, in
each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the
application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance
policy. Wells Fargo shall also cause to be maintained fire and hazard insurance
on each REO Property with extended coverage as is customary in the area where
the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the
lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part
of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property. Wells Fargo will comply in
the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of
each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by a
Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts
to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices,
subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note)
shall be deposited in the related Collection Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 3.09, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the
REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.21, if received in
respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by a Servicer in maintaining any
such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is
to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and
regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time
in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards, Wells Fargo will cause to be
maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance
shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance
available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance
program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is
participating in such program).
In the event that Wells Fargo shall obtain and maintain a blanket
policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better in
Best's Key Rating Guide or otherwise acceptable to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac
insuring against hazard losses on all of the related Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations to cause fire and
hazard insurance to be maintained on the Mortgaged Properties, it being
understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which
case Wells Fargo shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained
on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the
first two sentences of this Section 3.11, and there shall have been one or more
losses which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the related
Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the
blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its
activities as administrator and servicer of the related Mortgage Loans, Wells
Fargo agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, the Trust
Fund, the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely
fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.
(b) Wells Fargo shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a
policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the
performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement, which policy or
policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements of
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac if it were the purchaser of the related Mortgage
Loans, unless Wells Fargo, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Wells Fargo shall also maintain a fidelity bond in
the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie
Mac, unless Wells Fargo, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Fannie
Mae or Freddie Mac. Wells Fargo shall be deemed to have complied with this
provision if an Affiliate of such Servicer, has such errors and omissions and
fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity
bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to such Servicer. Any such errors
and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable
without thirty days' prior written notice to the Trustee.
(c) No Servicer shall take any action that would result in noncoverage
under any applicable primary mortgage insurance policy of any loss which, but
for the actions of such Servicer would have been covered thereunder. Wells Fargo
shall use its best efforts to keep in force and effect any applicable primary
mortgage insurance policy and, to the extent that the related Mortgage Loan
requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance, any other primary mortgage
insurance applicable to any Mortgage Loan. Except as required by applicable law
or the related Mortgage Loan Documents, Wells Fargo shall not cancel or refuse
to renew any such primary mortgage insurance policy that is in effect at the
date of the initial issuance of the related Mortgage Note and is required to be
kept in force hereunder.
Wells Fargo agrees to present on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders claims to the applicable insurer under any primary mortgage
insurance policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall
be necessary to permit recovery under any primary mortgage insurance policies
respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 3.08, any amounts
collected by a Servicer under any primary mortgage insurance policies shall be
deposited in the related Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 3.09. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, no Servicer shall
have any responsibility with respect to a primary mortgage insurance policy
unless such Servicer has been made aware of such policy, as reflected on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule or otherwise and have been provided with adequate
information to administer such policy.
SECTION 3.12. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements
Wells Fargo shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance of
any related Mortgaged Property by any related Mortgagor (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the "due-on-sale"
clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that no Servicer shall
exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If a Servicer
reasonably believes that it is unable under applicable law to enforce such
"due-on-sale" clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso
to the preceding sentence apply, such Servicer shall enter into an assumption
and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has
been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person
becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by
applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. Wells Fargo is also
authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person,
pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such
person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage
Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person
satisfies the then current underwriting criteria of Wells Fargo for mortgage
loans similar to the related Mortgage Loans. In connection with any assumption
or substitution, Wells Fargo shall apply such underwriting standards and follow
such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general
mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned
solely by it. No Servicer shall take or enter into any assumption and
modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued
effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected by a
Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will
be retained by such Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection
with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but
not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Monthly Payment)
may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms
thereof. Wells Fargo shall notify the Trustee (or the applicable Custodian) that
any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding
to the Trustee (or the Custodian) the executed original of such substitution or
assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File
and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the
same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this
Agreement, no Servicer shall be deemed to be in default, breach or any other
violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage
Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption
which Wells Fargo may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.12, the term "assumption" is deemed to
also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage that is
not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability agreement.
SECTION 3.13. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) Wells Fargo shall use its best efforts, consistent with Accepted
Servicing Practices, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the
ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and
continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for
collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.06. Wells Fargo shall be
responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings;
provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing
Advances by the Servicers as contemplated in Sections 3.09 and 3.21. The
foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, Wells Fargo shall
not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property
unless it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase
the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to
itself for such expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.13 or
any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to
which Wells Fargo has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the
presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property,
such Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust Fund, either (i) obtain title to
such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise,
or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect
to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trust Fund,
the Trustee or the Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to
be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an "owner" or "operator" of such
Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time,
or any comparable law, unless such Servicer has also previously determined,
based on its reasonable judgment and a prudent report prepared by an Independent
Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry
standards, that:
(1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as
are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
therewith; and
(2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged
Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or
petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be
required under any federal, state or local law or regulation,
or that if any such materials are present for which such
action could be required, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with
respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section
3.13 shall be advanced by Wells Fargo, subject to Wells Fargo's right to be
reimbursed therefor from the related Collection Account as provided in Section
3.09(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the related Collection Account
received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
If Wells Fargo determines, as described above, that it is in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to
bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental
laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or
remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or
petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then Wells
Fargo shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of
the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or
remediation shall be advanced by Wells Fargo, subject to Wells Fargo's right to
be reimbursed therefor from the related Collection Account as provided in
Sections 3.09(a)(iii) or 3.09(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to
the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the related Collection
Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage
Loans.
(c) Wells Fargo shall have the right to purchase from REMIC I any
defaulted Mortgage Loan serviced by it that is 90 days or more delinquent, which
such Servicer determines in good faith will otherwise become subject to
foreclosure proceedings (evidence of such determination to be delivered in
writing to the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to such Servicer and
the Trustee prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The
Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in
the related Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written
certification from Wells Fargo of such deposit, shall release or cause to be
released to Wells Fargo the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranty, as Wells Fargo shall furnish and as shall
be necessary to vest in Wells Fargo title to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto.
(d) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery
Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of
Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan,
will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse Wells
Fargo for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I Advances, pursuant
to Section 3.09(a)(ii) or (a)(iii); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on
the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the
Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be
distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and third,
as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery
so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid
interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be
allocated by Wells Fargo as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and
second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of the
recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to Wells
Fargo pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(iii). The portion of the recovery allocated to
interest (net of unpaid Servicing Fees) and the portion of the recovery
allocated to principal of the Mortgage Loan shall be applied as follows: first,
to reimburse Wells Fargo for any related unreimbursed Servicing or P&I Advances
in accordance with Section 3.09(a)(ii) and any other amounts reimbursable to
Wells Fargo pursuant to Section 3.09, and second, as part of the amounts to be
transferred to the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.08(b).
SECTION 3.14. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or
the receipt by Wells Fargo 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, Wells Fargo will promptly
furnish to the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a
request for release substantially in the form attached to the respective
Custodial Agreement signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable
electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from
a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect
that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to
be deposited in the related Collection Account have been or will be so
deposited) and shall request that the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the
Trustee, deliver to Wells Fargo the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, the applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,
shall within five (5) Business Days release the related Mortgage File to Wells
Fargo and the Trustee and the applicable Custodian shall have no further
responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full,
Wells Fargo is authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee
under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction
(or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property
subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the
case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto
against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no
expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or
assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the related Collection
Account.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall execute such documents as
shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by Wells Fargo (in form
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of
any such proceedings. The applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall,
upon the request of Wells Fargo, and delivery to the applicable Custodian, on
behalf of the Trustee, of two copies of a request for release signed by a
Servicing Officer substantially in the form attached to the respective Custodial
Agreement (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a
signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release within five
(5) Business Days the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to
Wells Fargo. Such trust receipt shall obligate Wells Fargo to return the
Mortgage File to the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, when the
need therefor by Wells Fargo 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 applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to Wells Fargo.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with a Principal
Prepayment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer may request release
of the related Mortgage File from the applicable Custodian, in accordance with
the provisions of the respective Custodial Agreement, in the event Wells Fargo
fails to do so.
Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver to Wells Fargo, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's
sale or other documents prepared and delivered to the Trustee and reasonably
acceptable to it and necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect
of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment
against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency
judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such
certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be
executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or
pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except
for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or
trustee's sale. So long as no Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, Wells Fargo shall have the right to execute any and all such
court pleadings, requests and other documents as attorney-in-fact for, and on
behalf of the Trustee. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall
in no way be liable or responsible for the willful malfeasance of a Servicer, or
for any wrongful or negligent actions taken by a Servicer, while such Servicer
is acting in its capacity as attorney in fact for and on behalf of the Trustee.
SECTION 3.15. Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be
entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan serviced by it
payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan,
subject to Section 3.22. In addition, Wells Fargo shall be entitled to recover
unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds to the
extent permitted by Section 3.09(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the
operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.21.
The right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in
part except in connection with the transfer of all of a Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement to the extent permitted
herein.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late
payment charges, insufficient funds charges and other miscellaneous fees (other
than Prepayment Charges) and ancillary income shall be retained by Wells Fargo
only to the extent such fees or charges are received by Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo
shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(iv) to withdraw from the
related Collection Account and pursuant to Section 3.21(b) to withdraw from any
REO Account, as additional servicing compensation, interest or other income
earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.10. In addition, Wells Fargo
shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from the related Collection Account,
pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(x), any Prepayment Interest Excess with respect to
the Mortgage Loans serviced by it as additional servicing compensation. Wells
Fargo shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with
its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as specifically provided herein.
SECTION 3.16. Collection Account Statements.
Upon request, not later than fifteen (15) days after each Distribution
Date, Wells Fargo shall forward to the Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer shall forward to the Trustee and the
Depositor upon request a statement prepared by the institution at which the
related Collection Account is maintained setting forth the status of the related
Collection Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date and
showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of
deposits into and withdrawals from the related Collection Account of each
category of deposit specified in Section 3.08(a) and each category of withdrawal
specified in Section 3.09. Copies of such statement and any similar statements
provided by Wells Fargo shall be provided by the Securities Administrator to any
Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Securities Administrator
as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the
requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by Wells Fargo to the
Securities Administrator.
SECTION 3.17. Statement as to Compliance.
Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in 2006,
Wells Fargo shall deliver to the Master Servicer (and the Master Servicer shall
provide copies to the Trustee and the Depositor upon request) an Officers'
Certificate in a form acceptable for filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as an exhibit to Form 10-K or other required form (upon which the
Master Servicer can conclusively rely in connection with its obligations under
Section 5.06) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of such Servicer during the preceding year and of performance under
this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision and (ii) to the
best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, such Servicer has
fulfilled all of its obligations in all material respects under this Agreement
throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any
such material obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and
the nature and status thereof. Copies of any such statement shall be provided by
the Trustee to any Certificateholder, upon request at the expense of the
requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicers to the
Trustee.
SECTION 3.18. Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in 2006,
Wells Fargo, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of
independent certified public accountants to furnish to such Servicer a report in
a form acceptable for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an
exhibit to Form 10-K or other required form stating that (i) it has obtained a
letter of representation regarding certain matters from the management of such
Servicer which includes an assertion that such Servicer has complied with
certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in the
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the
Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect to the servicing of
residential mortgage loans during the most recently completed fiscal year and
(ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants,
such representation is fairly stated and such firm has determined that Wells
Fargo has complied in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and
other qualifications that may be appropriate. Immediately upon receipt of such
report, Wells Fargo shall furnish a copy of such report to the Master Servicer,
and the Master Servicer shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee upon
request. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided
that such statement is delivered by the Servicers to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.19. Annual Certification.
(a) Wells Fargo shall deliver to the Master Servicer, on or before
March 15th of each calendar year beginning in 2006 (or, if any such day is not a
Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) or such alternative date
reasonably specified by the Master Servicer which shall occur not later than
fifteen (15) days prior to the date any Form 10-K is required to be filed with
the Commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Such
certification shall be signed by the senior officer in charge of servicing of
Wells Fargo. In addition, Wells Fargo shall provide such other information with
respect to the related Mortgage Loans and the servicing and administration
thereof within the control of such Servicer which shall be required to enable
the Master Servicer to comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act pursuant to Section 5.06 hereof.
(b) Wells Fargo shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer,
the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor and their respective
officers, directors, agents and affiliates from and against any losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs,
judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach by
such Servicer or any of its officers, directors, agents or affiliates of its
obligations under this Section 3.19 or such Servicer's negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct in connection therewith. Such indemnity shall survive the
termination or resignation of the parties hereto or the termination of this
Agreement. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator,
the Trustee and the Depositor, then such Servicer agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee and the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the
Trustee and the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee
and the Depositor on the one hand and such Servicer on the other in connection
with a breach of such Servicer's obligations under this Section 3.19.
SECTION 3.20. Access to Certain Documentation.
Each Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the
FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority
that may exercise authority over any Certificate Owner, access to the
documentation regarding the related Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws
and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon
reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of Wells
Fargo designated by it. Nothing in this Section 3.20 shall limit the obligation
of Wells Fargo to comply with any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of
information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of such Servicer to provide
access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not
constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this Section 3.20 shall require
any Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information
that it does not generate in its usual course of business. No Servicer shall be
required to make copies of or ship documents to any Person unless provisions
have been made for the reimbursement of the costs thereof.
SECTION 3.21. Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
(a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property related to a
Mortgage Loan shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, on
behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Wells
Fargo, on behalf of REMIC I, shall either sell any REO Property by the close of
the third calendar year following the calendar year in which REMIC I acquires
ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860(a)(8) of the Code or
request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than sixty (60) days before
the day on which the three-year grace period would otherwise expire an extension
of the three-year grace period, unless Wells Fargo had delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the effect
that the holding by REMIC I of such REO Property subsequent to three (3) years
after its acquisition will not result in the imposition on any Trust REMIC
created hereunder of taxes on "prohibited transactions" thereof, as defined in
Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify
as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
Wells Fargo shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for
the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale
in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC created hereunder of any "income from
non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code,
or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under
the REMIC Provisions.
(b) Wells Fargo shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart
from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with
respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee, on behalf of
the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the "REO
Account"), which shall be an Eligible Account. Wells Fargo shall be permitted to
allow the related Collection Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to the
maintenance of separate ledgers for each REO Property. Wells Fargo shall be
entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited in
the related REO Account.
(c) Wells Fargo shall have full power and authority, subject only to
the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all
things in connection with any REO Property related to a Mortgage Loan serviced
by it as are consistent with the manner in which such Servicer manages and
operates similar property owned by it or any of its Affiliates, all on such
terms and for such period as such Servicer deems to be in the best interests of
Certificateholders. In connection therewith, Wells Fargo shall deposit, or cause
to be deposited on a daily basis in the REO Account, all revenues received by it
with respect to an REO Property related to a Mortgage Loan serviced by it and
shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management
and maintenance of such REO Property including, without limitation:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such
REO Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such
REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO
Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect
to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i)
through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, Wells Fargo shall advance
from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only
if, Wells Fargo would make such advances if Wells Fargo owned the REO Property
and if in Wells Fargo's judgment, the payment of such amounts will be
recoverable from the rental or sale of the REO Property.
Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations as shall at
any time be in force, and notwithstanding the foregoing, Wells Fargo, on behalf
of the Trust Fund, shall not:
(iv) enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to
any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any
income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(v) permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New
Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(vi) authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property,
other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon,
and then only if more than ten percent of the construction of such
building or other improvement was completed before default on the
related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of
Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(vii) allow any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on
any date more than ninety (90) days after its date of acquisition by
the Trust Fund;
unless, in any such case, Wells Fargo has obtained an Opinion of Counsel,
provided to Wells Fargo and the Trustee, to the effect that such action will not
cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by REMIC
I, in which case Wells Fargo may take such actions as are specified in such
Opinion of Counsel.
Wells Fargo may contract with any Independent Contractor for the
operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:
(viii) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not
be inconsistent herewith;
(ix) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered
to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO
Property, including those listed above and remit all related revenues
(net of such costs and expenses) to Wells Fargo as soon as practicable,
but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the receipt
thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(x) none of the provisions of this Section 3.21(c) relating to
any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent
Contractor shall be deemed to relieve Wells Fargo of any of its duties
and obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and
management of any such REO Property; and
(xi) Wells Fargo shall be obligated with respect thereto to
the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and
obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO
Property.
Wells Fargo shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any
Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and
obligations hereunder for indemnification of Wells Fargo by such Independent
Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify
such indemnification. Wells Fargo shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it
to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether Wells Fargo's
compensation pursuant to Section 3.15 is sufficient to pay such fees. Any such
agreement shall include a provision that such agreement may be immediately
terminated by the Trustee (as successor Servicer) or any other successor
Servicer (including the Master Servicer) without fee, in the event Wells Fargo
shall for any reason, no longer be the Servicer of the related Mortgage Loans
(including termination due to a Servicer Event of Default).
(d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.21(c),
Wells Fargo may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any
REO Property: (i) to pay itself unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of the related
Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and Advances made in respect of such REO Property or the
related Mortgage Loan. On the Servicer Remittance Date, Wells Fargo shall
withdraw from each REO Account maintained by it and deposit into the
Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.08(d)(ii), for distribution on
the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 5.01, the income from
the related REO Property received during the prior calendar month, net of any
withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.21(c) or this Section 3.21(d).
(e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.21(a), each
REO Disposition shall be carried out by Wells Fargo at such price and upon such
terms and conditions as Wells Fargo shall deem necessary or advisable, as shall
be normal and usual in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.
(f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required
by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net
of any payment or reimbursement to Wells Fargo as provided above, shall be
deposited in the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.08(d)(ii) on
the Servicer Remittance Date in the month following the receipt thereof for
distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 5.01.
Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC
Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other
consideration).
(g) Wells Fargo shall file information returns (and shall provide a
certification of a Servicing Officer to the Master Servicer that such filings
have been made) with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a
trade or business, reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged
Property and cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged
Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code,
respectively. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the
reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the
Code.
SECTION 3.22. Obligations of the Servicers in Respect of Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls; Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.
Wells Fargo shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit
into the Distribution Account on the Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds
an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of the Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls attributable to prepayments in full on the related Mortgage
Loans for the related Distribution Date resulting solely from voluntary
Principal Prepayments received by Wells Fargo during the related Prepayment
Period and (ii) the aggregate amount of the related Servicing Fees payable to
related Servicer on such Distribution Date with respect to the related Mortgage
Loans. No Servicer shall have the right to reimbursement for any amounts
remitted to the Securities Administrator in respect of this Section 3.22. No
Servicer shall be obligated to pay the amounts set forth in this Section 3.22
with respect to shortfalls resulting from the application of the Relief Act.
SECTION 3.23. Obligations of the Servicers in Respect of Mortgage Rates and
Monthly Payments.
In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with
respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to
Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were made by
a Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage
Note and this Agreement, Wells Fargo, upon discovery or receipt of notice
thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit
in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall
and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Depositor and any successor
servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the
termination or discharge of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Section 3.23 shall not limit the ability of the Servicer to seek recovery of any
such amounts from the related Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage
Note and Mortgage, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
SECTION 3.24. Reserve Fund.
(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall
establish and maintain a separate, segregated trust account entitled, "Reserve
Fund, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in trust for the registered holders of ACE
Securities Corp. Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2005-HE7, Asset Backed
Pass-Through Certificates." On the Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit, or
cause to be deposited, into the Reserve Fund 1,000.
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall
deposit into the Reserve Fund the amounts described in Section 5.01(c)(8)(vi),
rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders, and
Section 5.01(c)(8)(vii). On each such Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the
Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates and will distribute such
amounts to the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates, in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 5.01(a). If no
Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts are payable on a Distribution Date, the
Securities Administrator shall deposit, into the Reserve Fund on behalf of the
Class CE Certificateholders, from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class
CE Certificateholders, an amount such that when added to other amounts already
on deposit in the Reserve Fund, the aggregate amount on deposit therein is equal
to 1,000.
(c) For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE
Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Reserve Fund and all
amounts deposited into the Reserve Fund (other than the initial deposit therein
of 1,000) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC II to the Holders of
the Class CE Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the
payment in full of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, all
amounts remaining on deposit in the Reserve Fund will be released by the Trust
Fund and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders or their designees. The
Reserve Fund will be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any REMIC and any
payments to the Holders of the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine
Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect
to a "regular interest" in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section
860(G)(a)(1).
(d) By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder hereby agrees that the Securities Administrator will deposit
into the Reserve Fund the amounts described above on each Distribution Date
rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. By
accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE Certificateholder further agrees
that its agreement to such action by the Securities Administrator is given for
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
acknowledged by such acceptance.
(e) At the direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage
Interest in the Class CE Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall direct
any depository institution maintaining the Reserve Fund to invest the funds in
such account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a
discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business
Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be
withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than
the Securities Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment,
and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Securities Administrator or
an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. All income and gain earned upon
such investment shall be deposited into the Reserve Fund. In no event shall the
Securities Administrator be liable for any investments made pursuant to this
clause (e). If the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class CE
Certificates fail to provide investment instructions, funds on deposit in the
Reserve Fund shall be held uninvested by the Securities Administrator without
liability for interest or compensation.
(f) For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the
Class A Certificateholders and the Mezzanine Certificateholders to receive
payments from the Reserve Fund in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount
shall be assigned a value of 70,000 with respect to the Certificates covered by
the Swap Agreement.
SECTION 3.25. Advance Facility.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i)
Wells Fargo is hereby authorized to enter into an advance facility ("Advance
Facility") but no more than two Advance Facilities without the prior written
consent of the Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, under
which (A) Wells Fargo sells, assigns or pledges to an advancing person (an
"Advance Financing Person") its rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for
any P&I Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (B) an Advance Financing Person
agrees to finance some or all P&I Advances or Servicing Advances required to be
made by Wells Fargo pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) Wells Fargo is hereby
authorized to assign its rights to the Servicing Fee (which rights shall
terminate upon the resignation, termination or removal of Wells Fargo pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement); it being understood that neither the Trust Fund
nor any party hereto shall have a right or claim (including without limitation
any right of offset) to any amounts for reimbursement of P&I Advances or
Servicing Advances so assigned or to the portion of the Servicing Fee so
assigned. Subject to the provisions of the first sentence of this Section
3.25(a), no consent of the Depositor, Trustee, Master Servicer,
Certificateholders or any other party is required before a Servicer may enter
into an Advance Facility, but such Servicer shall provide notice to the
Depositor, Master Servicer and the Trustee of the existence of any such Advance
Facility promptly upon the consummation thereof stating (a) the identity of the
Advance Financing Person and (b) the identity of any Person ("Servicer's
Assignee") who has the right to receive amounts in reimbursement of previously
unreimbursed P&I Advances or Servicing Advances. Notwithstanding the existence
of any Advance Facility under which an advancing person agrees to finance P&I
Advances and/or Servicing Advances on such Servicer's behalf, such Servicer
shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make P&I Advances and
Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement, and shall not
be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility.
(b) Reimbursement amounts ("Advance Reimbursement Amounts") shall
consist solely of amounts in respect of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances
made with respect to the related Mortgage Loans for which Wells Fargo would be
permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with this Agreement, assuming Wells
Fargo had made the related P&I Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s).
(c) Wells Fargo shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer
(with, upon request, a copy to the Trustee) a detailed accounting on a
loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and
reimbursed to any advancing person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to
rely on any such information provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the
successor servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such information.
(d) Reimbursement amounts distributed with respect to each Mortgage
Loan shall be allocated to outstanding unreimbursed P&I Advances or Servicing
Advances (as the case may be) made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a
"first-in, first out" (FIFO) basis. The documentation establishing any Advance
Facility shall require Wells Fargo to provide to the related advancing person or
its designee loan-by-loan information with respect to each such reimbursement
amount distributed to such advancing person or Advance Facility trustee on each
Distribution Date, to enable the advancing person or Advance Facility trustee to
make the FIFO allocation of each such reimbursement amount with respect to each
Mortgage Loan. Wells Fargo shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the
advancing person or Advance Facility trustee for all P&I Advances and Servicing
Advances funded by Wells Fargo to the extent the related rights to be reimbursed
therefor have not been sold, assigned or pledged to an advancing person.
(e) Any amendment to this Section 3.25 or to any other provision of
this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an
Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.25, including
amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered
into by the Trustee, the Depositor, and Wells Fargo without the consent of any
Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
provided, that the Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel that such
amendment is authorized hereunder and has no material adverse effect on the
Certificateholders, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting
such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust
Fund; provided, further, that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders if the
Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency
(instead of obtaining an Opinion of Counsel to such effect) stating that the
amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective
ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it being understood and agreed that
any such rating letter in and of itself will not represent a determination as to
the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a determination only as
to the credit issues affecting any such rating. Prior to entering into an
Advance Facility, Wells Fargo shall notify the lender under such facility in
writing that: (a) the P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by and/or
pledged to the lender are obligations owed to Wells Fargo on a non-recourse
basis payable only from the cash flows and proceeds received under this
Agreement for reimbursement of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances only to
the extent provided herein, and neither the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee nor the Trust are otherwise obligated or liable to
repay any P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by the lender; (b)
Wells Fargo will be responsible for remitting to the lender the applicable
amounts collected by it as Servicing Fees and as reimbursement for P&I Advances
and/or Servicing Advances funded by the lender, as applicable, subject to the
restrictions and priorities created in this Agreement; and (c) neither the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall have any
responsibility to calculate any amount payable under an Advance Facility or to
track or monitor the administration of the financing arrangement between Wells
Fargo and the lender or the payment of any amount under an Advance Facility.
(f) Wells Fargo shall indemnify the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee and the Trust Fund for any cost, liability or expense
relating to the Advance Facility including, without limitation, a claim, pending
or threatened, by an Advance Financing Person.
SECTION 3.26. The Servicers Indemnification.
Wells Fargo agrees to indemnify the Trustee, Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator, from, and hold the Trustee, Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
(including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred by any such Person
by reason of such Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence
in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of such
Servicer's reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this
Agreement. Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this
Agreement and the resignation or removal of related Servicer, the Trustee, the
Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator. Any payment hereunder made by
Wells Fargo to any such Person shall be from Wells Fargo's own funds, without
reimbursement from REMIC I therefor.
ARTICLE IV
ADMINISTRATION AND MASTER SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS BY THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 4.01. Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall, from and after the Closing Date supervise,
monitor and oversee the obligations of Wells Fargo under this Agreement and
Countrywide under the Servicing Agreement to service and administer the related
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing
Agreement ,as applicable, and shall have full power and authority to do any and
all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such
master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder,
the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master
Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult
with the Servicers as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master
Servicer's obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all
reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by the
Servicers and shall cause the Servicers to perform and observe the covenants,
obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by the related Servicer
under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement , as applicable. 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 each Servicer's and
Master Servicer's records, and based on such reconciled and corrected
information, prepare the statements specified in Section 5.03 and any other
information and statements required to be provided by the Master Servicer
hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan
monitoring with the actual remittances of each Servicer to the Distribution
Account pursuant to the terms hereof based on information provided to the Master
Servicer by each Servicer.
The Trustee shall furnish the related Servicer and the Master Servicer
with any limited powers of attorney and other documents in form acceptable to it
necessary or appropriate to enable the related Servicer and the Master Servicer
to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property. The
Trustee shall have no responsibility for any action of the Master Servicer or
the related Servicer pursuant to any such limited power of attorney and shall be
indemnified by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, as applicable, for
any cost, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee in connection with such
Person's misuse of any such power of attorney.
The Trustee, the Custodians and the Securities Administrator shall
provide access to the records and documentation in possession of the Trustee,
the Custodians or the Securities Administrator 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, the Custodians or the Securities
Administrator; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, none
of the Trustee, the Custodians or the Securities Administrator shall be required
to provide access to such records and documentation if the provision thereof
would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Trustee, the
Custodians and the Securities Administrator shall allow representatives of the
above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall
provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that covers the Trustee's, the
Custodians' or the Securities Administrator's actual costs.
The Trustee shall execute and deliver to the related Servicer or the
Master Servicer upon request any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or
other documents necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee's sale
with respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or any other Mortgage Loan
Document; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv)
enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or any other
Mortgage Loan Document or otherwise available at law or equity.
SECTION 4.02. REMIC-Related Covenants.
For as long as each REMIC shall exist, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator shall act in accordance herewith to treat such REMIC as a REMIC,
and the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall comply with any
directions of the Seller, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer to assure
such continuing treatment. In particular, the Trustee shall not (a) sell or
permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment
of deposits in an Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the
Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC
Opinion prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund; and (b) other than with
respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or
Section 2.03 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any
REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of an Opinion of Counsel stating
that such contribution will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event as defined in
Section 11.01(f).
SECTION 4.03. Monitoring of Servicers.
(a) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for monitoring the
compliance by Wells Fargo with their its duties under this Agreement and
Countrywide with its duties under the Servicing Agreement. In the review of the
related Servicer's activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an Officer's
Certificate of the related Servicer with regard to such Servicer's compliance
with the terms of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. In
the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that the related
Servicer should be terminated in accordance with the terms hereof or the terms
of the Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the
terms hereof with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured,
would constitute a Servicer Event of Default or an event of default under the
Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall notify the related Servicer, the
Seller and the Trustee thereof and (i) with respect to Countrywide the Master
Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems
appropriate and (ii) with respect to Wells Fargo, the Trustee shall issue such
notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.
(b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of Wells Fargo under this
Agreement and Countrywide under the Servicing Agreement and shall, in the event
that Wells Fargo fails to perform its obligations in accordance with this
Agreement or Countrywide fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the
Servicing Agreement, subject to this Section and Article VIII, notify the
Trustee and the Trustee shall terminate the rights and obligations of such
Servicer hereunder in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII. In the
event the rights and obligations of Countrywide are terminated, the Master
Servicer shall act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or a successor
servicer shall be appointed in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII.
In the event that the rights and obligations of Wells Fargo in its capacity as
Servicer of the Wells Fargo Mortgage Loans are terminated, the Trustee shall act
as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or a successor servicer shall be
appointed in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII Such enforcement,
including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims and the pursuit
of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an
extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business
judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The
Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense,
provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend
any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have
received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such

to be reimbursed by the related Servicer (or from amounts on deposit in the
Distribution Account if the related Servicer is unable to fulfill its
obligations hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement) for all reasonable
out-of-pocket or third party costs associated with the transfer of servicing
from the predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Master
Servicer, from the Servicer immediately preceding the Master Servicer),
including without limitation, any reasonable out-of-pocket or third party costs
or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required
by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the
servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor servicer to service the
related Mortgage Loans properly and effectively, upon presentation of reasonable
documentation of such costs and expenses.
(d) The Master Servicer shall require the Servicers to comply with the

warranties of the terminated Servicer.
SECTION 4.04. 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 4.05. Power to Act; Procedures.
The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall
have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the
provisions of Article XI, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or
desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the
Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee,
customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to
consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage
Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of
the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each
case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities
under Section 4.03, shall not permit the related Servicer to) knowingly or
intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken)
any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more
specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not
taken, as the case may be, would cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to
qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund
(including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth
in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an
Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect
that the contemplated action will not cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to
fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I,
REMIC II or REMIC III, as the case may be. The Trustee shall furnish the Master
Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any powers of
attorney prepared and delivered to it and reasonably acceptable to it by
empowering the Master Servicer, the related Servicer to execute and deliver
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or
discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and
to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage
Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with this Agreement or the
Servicing Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other
documents prepared and delivered to it and reasonably acceptable to it, as the
Master Servicer or the related Servicer may request, to enable the Master
Servicer to master service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and carry
out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master
Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any
such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer and shall
be indemnified by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, as applicable,
for any cost, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee in connection with
such Person's use or misuse of any such power of attorney). If the Master
Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the
state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name
of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the "doing
business" or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the
Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee
pursuant to Section 9.10. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those
instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be
the agent of the Trustee.
SECTION 4.06. Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
To the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses,
the Master Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to enforce such clauses in
accordance with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement. If applicable law
prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise
not enforced in accordance with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement and,
as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be
released from liability in accordance with this Agreement or the Servicing
Agreement.
SECTION 4.07. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master
Servicer To Be Held for Trustee.
(a) The Master Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee or the applicable
Custodian such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the

delivered to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian. Any funds received by the
Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected
by the Master Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect
of any Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the Securities Administrator for
deposit in the Distribution Account. The Master Servicer shall, and, subject to
Section 3.20 of this Agreement or, to the extent provided therein, the Servicing
Agreement, shall cause the related Servicer to provide access to information and
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, its agents and
accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business
hours, and to Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks
or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the
supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of
any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so
required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other
regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon
reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices of
the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master
Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such
information.
(b) All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the
control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from
the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds
or Insurance Proceeds, shall be remitted to the Securities Administrator for
deposit in the Distribution Account.
SECTION 4.08. Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance Policies.
For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce the
obligation of Wells Fargo under this Agreement and Countrywide under the
Servicing Agreement to maintain or cause to be maintained standard fire and
casualty insurance and, where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement. It is
understood and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the
eligibility requirements set forth in Section 3.11 of this Agreement or the
eligibility requirements set forth in the Servicing Agreement, as applicable,
and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any
Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in respect of a defaulted
loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at
any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.
SECTION 4.09. Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.
The Master Servicer shall enforce each Servicer's obligations under
this Agreement or under the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, to prepare and
present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under any
insurance policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement,
compromise or enforcement of the insured's claim) as shall be necessary to
realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master
Servicer (or disbursed to the related Servicer and remitted to the Master
Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly
deposited in the Distribution Account upon receipt, except that any amounts
realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related
Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of claims on the
related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable insurance policy need
not be so deposited or remitted.
SECTION 4.10. Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.
(a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit a Servicer to take
(to the extent such action is prohibited by this Agreement or the Servicing
Agreement), any action that would result in noncoverage under any primary
mortgage insurance policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master
Servicer or the related Servicer, as applicable, would have been covered
thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause
the related Servicer to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the
Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary
mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer
shall not, and shall not permit the related Servicer to, cancel or refuse to
renew any primary mortgage insurance policy that is in effect at the date of the
initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force
hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the
Servicing Agreement.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to cause the related Servicer to
present, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the
insurer under any primary mortgage insurance policies and, in this regard, to
take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any
primary mortgage insurance policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans.
SECTION 4.11. Trustee to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance
Policies and Documents.
The Trustee or the applicable Custodian, shall retain possession and
custody of the originals (to the extent available) of any primary mortgage
insurance policies, or certificate of insurance if applicable, and any
certificates of renewal as to the foregoing as may be issued from time to time
as contemplated by this Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect of
the Certificates have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer and the
related Servicer have otherwise fulfilled their respective obligations under
this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, the Trustee or the
applicable Custodian shall also retain possession and custody of each Mortgage
File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the related Custodial Agreement. The Master Servicer shall
promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the applicable
Custodian, upon the execution or receipt thereof the originals of any primary
mortgage insurance policies, any certificates of renewal, and such other
documents or instruments that constitute Mortgage Loan Documents that come into
the possession of the Master Servicer from time to time.

the Master Servicer in respect of any Distribution Date shall be reduced in
accordance with Section 4.18. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall
not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this Agreement.

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

to the best of such Servicing Officer's knowledge, based on such review, such
Master Servicer has performed and fulfilled its duties, responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such year,
or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such duties,
responsibilities or obligations, specifying each such default known to such
Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof, (iii) nothing has come to
the attention of such Servicing Officer to lead such Servicing Officer to
believe that the Master Servicer has failed to perform any of its duties,
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement in all material respects
throughout such year, or, if there has been a material default in the
performance or fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or obligations,
specifying each such default known to such Servicing Officer and the nature and
status thereof.
(b) Copies of such statements shall be provided to any
Certificateholder upon request, by the Master Servicer or by the Trustee at the
Master Servicer's expense if the Master Servicer failed to provide such copies
(unless (i) the Master Servicer shall have failed to provide the Trustee with
such statement or (ii) the Trustee shall be unaware of the Master Servicer's
failure to provide such statement).
SECTION 4.16. Annual Independent Accountant's Servicing Report.
If the Master Servicer has, during the course of any calendar year,
directly serviced any of the Mortgage Loans, then the Master Servicer at its
expense shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public
accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the
Seller on or before March 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2006 to the
effect that, with respect to the most recently ended fiscal year, such firm has
examined certain records and documents relating to the Master Servicer's
performance of its servicing obligations under this Agreement and pooling and
servicing and trust agreements in material respects similar to this Agreement
and to each other and that, on the basis of such examination conducted
substantially in compliance with the audit program for mortgages serviced for
Freddie Mac or the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such
firm is of the opinion that the Master Servicer's activities have been conducted
in compliance with this Agreement, or that such examination has disclosed no
material items of noncompliance except for (i) such exceptions as such firm
believes to be immaterial, (ii) such other exceptions as are set forth in such
statement and (iii) such exceptions that the Uniform Single Attestation Program
for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages Serviced by Freddie Mac
requires it to report. Copies of such statements shall be provided to any
Certificateholder upon request by the Master Servicer, or by the Trustee at the
expense of the Master Servicer if the Master Servicer shall fail to provide such
copies (unless (i) the Master Servicer shall have failed to provide the Trustee
with such statement or (ii) the Trustee shall be unaware of the Master
Servicer's failure to provide such statement). If such report discloses
exceptions that are material, the Master Servicer shall advise the Trustee
whether such exceptions have been or are susceptible of cure, and will take
prompt action to do so.
SECTION 4.17. Reserved.

such verification duties and will use its best efforts to issue its findings in
a report (the "Verification Report") delivered to the Master Servicer and the
Depositor within ten (10) Business Days following the related Distribution Date;
provided, however, that if the Verification Agent is unable to issue the
Verification Report within ten (10) Business Days following the Distribution
Date, the Verification Agent may issue and deliver to the Master Servicer and
the Depositor the Verification Report upon the completion of its verification
duties. The Master Servicer shall forward the Verification Report to the related
Servicer and shall notify the related Servicer if the Master Servicer has
determined that the related Servicer did not deliver the appropriate Prepayment
Charge to the Securities Administrator in accordance with this Agreement. Such
written notification from the Master Servicer shall include the loan number,
prepayment penalty code and prepayment penalty amount as calculated by the
Master Servicer or the Verification Agent, as applicable, of each Mortgage Loan
for which there is a discrepancy. If the related Servicer agrees with the
verified amounts, the related Servicer shall adjust the immediately succeeding
Servicer Report and the amount remitted to the Securities Administrator with
respect to prepayments accordingly. If the related Servicer disagrees with the
determination of the Master Servicer, the related Servicer shall, within five
(5) Business Days of its receipt of the Verification Report, notify the Master
Servicer of such disagreement and provide the Master Servicer with detailed
information to support its position. The related Servicer and the Master
Servicer shall cooperate to resolve any discrepancy on or prior to the
immediately succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, and the related Servicer will
indicate the effect of such resolution on the related Servicer Report and shall
adjust the amount remitted with respect to prepayments on such Servicer

During such time as the related Servicer and the Master Servicer are

respect of any disputed Prepayment Charges will be remitted to the Securities
Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account and the Master Servicer
shall not be obligated to deposit such payments, unless otherwise required
pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof. In connection with such duties, the Master
Servicer shall be able to rely solely on the information provided to it by the
related Servicer in accordance with this Section. The Master Servicer shall not
be responsible for verifying the accuracy of any of the information provided to
it by the related Servicer.

Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(j) or Section 10.01
respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the aggregate
Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates, and shall be
made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such
Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such
Holder shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least
five (5) Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such
Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Certificates having an initial

Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be

responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its
Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds

shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this
Agreement or applicable law.
(i) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions in
respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the Certificateholders in such
distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement. None of the Holders of
any Class of Certificates, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Securities
Administrator or the Master Servicer shall in any way be responsible or liable
to the Holders of any other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly
previously distributed on the Certificates.
(j) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.01, whenever the
Securities Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to any
Class of Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall, no later than three (3) days before the related
Distribution Date, mail to each Holder on such date of such Class of
Certificates a notice to the effect that:
(i) the Securities Administrator expects that the final

be made on such Distribution Date but only upon presentation
and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the
Securities Administrator therein specified, and
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and
after the end of the related Interest Accrual Period.
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of
such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or
Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held
in trust by the Securities Administrator and credited to the account of the
appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which
notice has been given pursuant to this Section 5.01(j) shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such
notice, the Securities Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If
within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator shall, directly
or through an agent, mail a final notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates but shall continue
to hold any remaining funds for the benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders.
The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such
Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in such trust fund.
If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator shall pay to the
Depositor all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders
in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be
payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Securities
Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its
Certificate(s) on the final Distribution Date for final payment thereof in
accordance with this Section 5.01(j). Any such amounts held in trust by the
Securities Administrator shall be held uninvested in an Eligible Account.
(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no event
shall the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class A Certificate or a Mezzanine
Certificate be reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount both

month, and if the 18th calendar day is not a Business Day, the immediately
following Business Day, Wells Fargo shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator by telecopy or electronic mail (or by such other means
as the related Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator
may agree from time to time) a remittance report containing such information
with respect to the related Mortgage Loans and the related Distribution Date as
is reasonably available to the related Servicer as the Master Servicer or the
Securities Administrator may reasonably require so as to enable the Master
Servicer to master service the related Mortgage Loans and oversee the servicing
by the related Servicer and the Securities Administrator to fulfill its
obligations hereunder with respect to securities and tax reporting.
(b) The amount of P&I Advances to be made by the related Servicer on
any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 5.03(d), (i) with respect
to the Mortgage Loans other than the Simple Interest Mortgage Loans, the
aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fees), due
during the related Due Period in respect of the Mortgage Loans serviced by such
Servicer, which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of business on
the related Determination Date, (ii) with respect to the Simple Interest
Mortgage Loans, thirty (30) days' interest (net of the related Servicing Fees)
on each such Simple Interest Mortgage Loan for which the Monthly Payment was due
during the related Due Period which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the
close of business on the related Determination Date and (iii) with respect to
each REO Property, which was acquired during or prior to the related Prepayment
Period and as to which an REO Disposition did not occur during the related
Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the REO Imputed
Interest on such REO Property for the most recently ended calendar month, over
the net income from such REO Property deposited in the related Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.21 of this Agreement for distribution on such
Distribution Date; provided, however, no Servicer shall be required to make P&I
Advances with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls, or with respect to
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls in excess of its obligations under Section 3.22
or under the Interim Servicing Agreement. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, the Monthly Payment on each Balloon Mortgage Loan with a delinquent
Balloon Payment is equal to the assumed monthly payment that would have been due
on the related Due Date based on the original principal amortization schedule
for such Balloon Mortgage Loan.
On the Servicer Remittance Date each Servicer shall remit in
immediately available funds to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if
any, to be made in respect of the related Mortgage Loans for the related
Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the related
Collection Account, to the extent of any Amounts Held For Future Distribution on
deposit therein (in which case it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in
the records of the related Collection Account that Amounts Held For Future
Distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 5.03, used by the related
Servicer in discharge of any such P&I Advance) or (iii) in the form of any
combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be
made by the related Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loans. In
addition, the related Servicer shall have the right to reimburse itself for any
outstanding P&I Advance made from its own funds from Amounts Held for Future
Distribution. Any Amounts Held For Future Distribution used by the related
Servicer to make P&I Advances or to reimburse itself for outstanding P&I
Advances shall be appropriately reflected in the related Servicer's records and
replaced by the related Servicer by deposit in the related Collection Account no
later than the close of business on the Servicer Remittance Date immediately
following the Due Period or Prepayment Period for which such amounts relate. The
Securities Administrator will notify the related Servicer and the Master
Servicer by the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Distribution
Date in the event that the amount remitted by the related Servicer to the
Securities Administrator on such date is less than the P&I Advances required to
be made by the related Servicer for the related Distribution Date.
(c) The obligation of each Servicer to make such P&I Advances is
mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to
(d) below, and, with respect to any related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall
continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the
removal thereof from the Trust Fund pursuant to any applicable provision of this
Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance or
Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the related Servicer
if such P&I Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively.
The determination by the related Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I
Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance
or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, respectively, shall be evidenced by a
certification of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Master Servicer.
(e) Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII of
this Agreement, in the event Wells Fargo fails to make any required P&I Advance,
then the Trustee (in its capacity as successor servicer) or any other successor
Servicer shall be required to make such P&I Advance on the Distribution Date on
which such Servicer was required to make such Advance, subject to its
determination of recoverability. In addition, in the event that Countrywide
fails to make a required P&I Advance under the Servicing Agreement, the Master
Servicer (in its capacity as successor Servicer) will be required to make such
P&I Advance on the Distribution Date on which such Servicer was required to make
such P&I Advance, subject to its determination of recoverability.
SECTION 5.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) Prior to the Determination Date, each Servicer shall determine as
to each Mortgage Loan serviced by such Servicer and any related REO Property and
include in the monthly remittance report provided to the Master Servicer and the
Securities Administrator (substantially in the form of Schedule 4 hereto) such
information as is reasonably available to the Servicers as the Master Servicer
or the Securities Administrator may reasonably require so as to enable the
Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans and oversee the servicing
by the Servicers and the Securities Administrator to fulfill its obligations
hereunder with respect to securities and tax reporting, which shall include, but
not be limited to: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in
connection with any Final Recovery Determinations made during the related
Prepayment Period; and (ii) the respective portions of such Realized Losses
allocable to interest and allocable to principal. Prior to each Determination
Date, each Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (i) the total
amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient
Valuations made during the related Prepayment Period; and (ii) the total amount
of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions
in respect of Monthly Payments due during the related Due Period.
(b) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any REMIC I
Regular Interest pursuant to Section 5.04(c) on the Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated by the Securities Administrator on each Distribution Date as follows:
FIRST, to Net Monthly Excess Cashflow; SECOND, to the Class CE Certificates and
to Net Swap Payments received from the Swap Provider under the Swap Agreement
for that purpose; THIRD, to the Class M-11 Certificates until the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class M-11 Certificates has been reduced to zero,
fourth, to the Class M-10 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance
of the Class M-10 Certificates has been reduced to zero, FIFTH, to the Class M-9
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-9
Certificates, has been reduced to zero, SIXTH, to the Class M-8 Certificates,
until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-8 Certificates has been
reduced to zero; SEVENTH, to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class M-7 Certificates has been reduced to zero;
EIGHTH, to the Class M-6 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance
of the Class M-6 Certificates has been reduced to zero; NINTH, to the Class M-5
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-5
Certificates has been reduced to zero; TENTH, to the Class M-4 Certificates,
until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-4 Certificates has been
reduced to zero; ELEVENTH, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class M-3 Certificates has been reduced to zero;
TWELFTH, to the Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance
of the Class M-2 Certificates has been reduced to zero; and THIRTEENTH, to the
Class M-1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class M-1
Certificates has been reduced to zero. All Realized Losses to be allocated to
the Certificate Principal Balances of all Classes on any Distribution Date shall
be so allocated after the actual distributions to be made on such date as
provided above. All references above to the Certificate Principal Balance of any
Class of Certificates shall be to the Certificate Principal Balance of such
Class immediately prior to the relevant Distribution Date, before reduction
thereof by any Realized Losses, in each case to be allocated to such Class of
Certificates, on such Distribution Date.
Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate on any
Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance
thereof by the amount so allocated; any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class
CE Certificate shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect
thereof pursuant to Section 5.01(c)(8)(viii). No allocations of any Realized
Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A
Certificates or Class P Certificates.
As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a "PRO RATA basis"
among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a PRO
RATA basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of
Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal
Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution
Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of
Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the, Certificates of such Class
in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
In addition, in the event that a Servicer receives any Subsequent
Recoveries with respect to a Mortgage Loan serviced by it, the related Servicer
shall deposit such funds into the related Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.08. If, after taking into account such Subsequent Recoveries, and any
Subsequent Recoveries received by Countrywide, the amount of a Realized Loss is
reduced, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase
the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Subordinate Certificates with
the highest payment priority to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but
not by more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that
Class of Subordinate Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.04 and not
previously reimbursed to such Class of Subordinate Certificates with Net Monthly
Excess Cashflow pursuant to Section 5.01(c)(8). The amount of any remaining
Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to sequentially increase the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Subordinate Certificates, beginning with the Class of
Subordinate Certificates with the next highest payment priority, up to the
amount of such Realized Losses previously allocated to such Class of Subordinate
Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.04 and not previously reimbursed to such
Class of Subordinate Certificates with Net Monthly Excess Cashflow pursuant to
Section 5.01(c)(8)(iii). Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to
any payment in respect of current interest on the amount of such increases for
any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such
increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Certificate
Principal Balance of each Subordinate Certificate of such Class in accordance
with its respective Percentage Interest.
(i) All Realized Losses on the Group IA Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated on each Distribution Date first, to REMIC I Regular Interest A-I until
the Uncertificated Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to
zero and second, to REMIC I Regular Interest I-1-A through REMIC I Regular
Interest I-46-B, starting with the lowest numerical denomination until such
REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I
Regular Interests with the same numerical denomination, such Realized Losses
shall be allocated PRO RATA between such REMIC I Regular Interests. All Realized
Losses on the Group IB Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution
Date first, to REMIC I Regular Interest A-II until the Uncertificated Balance of
such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero and second, to REMIC I
Regular Interest II-1-A through REMIC I Regular Interest II-46-B, starting with
the lowest numerical denomination until such REMIC I Regular Interest has been
reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the same
numerical denomination, such Realized Losses shall be allocated PRO RATA between
such REMIC I Regular Interests. All Realized Losses on the Group II Mortgage
Loans shall be allocated on each Distribution Date first, to REMIC I Regular
Interest A-III until the Uncertificated Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest
has been reduced to zero and second, to REMIC I Regular Interest III-1-A through
REMIC I Regular Interest III-46-B, starting with the lowest numerical
denomination until such REMIC I Regular Interest has been reduced to zero,
provided that, for REMIC I Regular Interests with the same numerical
denomination, such Realized Losses shall be allocated PRO RATA between such
REMIC I Regular Interests.
(ii) The REMIC II Marker Allocation Percentage of all Realized Losses
on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee, based solely on the
instructions of the Securities Administrator, on each Distribution Date to the
following REMIC II Regular Interests in the specified percentages, as follows:
first, to Uncertificated Interest payable to the REMIC II Regular Interest AA
and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC II
Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98.00% and 2.00%, respectively; second, to the
Uncertificated Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interest AA and REMIC II Regular
Interest ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC II Principal Loss
Allocation Amount, 98.00% and 2.00%, respectively; third, to the Uncertificated
Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-11 and
REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the
Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-11 has been reduced to
zero; fourth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA,
REMIC II Regular Interest M-10 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00%
and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular
Interest M-10 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-9 and REMIC II Regular
Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated
Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-9 has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular
Interest M-8 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-8
has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II
Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-7 and REMIC II Regular Interest
ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of
REMIC II Regular Interest M-7 has been reduced to zero; eighth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular
Interest M-6 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-6
has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II
Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-5 and REMIC II Regular Interest
ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of
REMIC II Regular Interest M-5 has been reduced to zero; tenth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular
Interest M-4 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-4
has been reduced to zero; eleventh, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II
Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-3 and REMIC II Regular Interest
ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of
REMIC II Regular Interest M-3 has been reduced to zero; twelfth, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular
Interest M-2 and REMIC II Regular Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-2
has been reduced to zero; and thirteenth, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC II Regular Interest AA, REMIC II Regular Interest M-1 and REMIC II Regular
Interest ZZ, 98.00%, 1.00% and 1.00%, respectively, until the Uncertificated
Balance of REMIC II Regular Interest M-1 has been reduced to zero.
(iii) The REMIC II Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of all Realized Losses
shall be applied after all distributions have been made on each Distribution
Date first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Balance of each REMIC II Regular
Interest ending with the designation "GRP" equal to 0.01% of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related loan group;
second, to each REMIC II Regular Interest ending with the designation "SUB," so
that the Uncertificated Balance of each such REMIC II Regular Interest is equal
to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans in the related loan group over (y) the current Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class A Certificate in the related loan group (except
that if any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution
period, the least amount of Realized Losses shall be applied to such REMIC II
Regular Interests such that the REMIC II Subordinated Balance Ratio is
maintained); and third, any remaining Realized Losses shall be allocated to
REMIC II Regular Interest XX.
SECTION 5.05. Compliance with Withholding Requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee and
the Securities Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding
requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest or original
issue discount that the Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the
Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such
withholding. In the event the Securities Administrator does withhold any amount
from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any
Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Securities
Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholders.
SECTION 5.06. Reports Filed with Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Depositor shall prepare or cause to be prepared the initial current
report on Form 8-K. Within fifteen (15) days after each Distribution Date, the
Securities Administrator shall, in accordance with industry standards, file with
the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System ("EDGAR"),
a Form 8-K (or other comparable Form containing the same or comparable
information or other information mutually agreed upon) with a copy of the
statement to be furnished to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date
as an exhibit thereto. Prior to January 30, 2006, the Securities Administrator
shall, in accordance with industry standards, file a Form 15 Suspension Notice
with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable. Prior to (i) March 20, 2006 and
(ii) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, prior
to March 20th of each year thereafter, the Master Servicer shall provide the
Securities Administrator with a Master Servicer Certification, together with a
copy of the annual independent accountant's servicing report and annual
statement of compliance of the Servicer to be delivered pursuant to this
Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and, if applicable, the
annual independent accountant's servicing report and annual statement of
compliance to be delivered by the Master Servicer pursuant to Sections 4.15 and
4.16. Prior to (i) March 31, 2006 and (ii) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension
Notice shall have been filed, March 31 of each year thereafter, the Securities
Administrator shall file a Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry
standards, with respect to the Trust. Such Form 10-K shall include the Master
Servicer Certification and other documentation provided by the Master Servicer
pursuant to the second preceding sentence. The Depositor hereby grants to the
Securities Administrator a limited power of attorney to execute and file each
such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue
until either the earlier of (i) receipt by the Securities Administrator from the
Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the
termination of the Trust Fund. The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the
Securities Administrator, from time to time upon request, such further
information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this
Agreement, the Mortgage Loans as the Securities Administrator reasonably deems
appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The
Securities Administrator shall have no responsibility to file any items other
than those specified in this Section 5.06; provided, however, the Securities
Administrator will cooperate with the Depositor in connection with any
additional filings with respect to the Trust Fund as the Depositor deems
necessary under the Exchange Act. Fees and expenses incurred by the Securities
Administrator in connection with this Section 5.06 shall not be reimbursable
from the Trust Fund.
SECTION 5.07. Supplemental Interest Trust.
(a) On the Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish
and maintain in the name of the Trustee a separate account for the benefit of
the holders of the Offered Certificates (the "Supplemental Interest Trust"). The
Supplemental Interest Trust shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit
therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with,
any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys of the Trustee or
of the Securities Administrator held pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall
withdraw all amounts which were deposited in the Supplemental Interest Trust as
specifically described in this Agreement and the Swap Agreement and distribute
such amounts in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.01(c) of this
Agreement.
(c) The Supplemental Interest Trust constitutes an "outside reserve
fund" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation ss. 1.860G-2(h) and is not an
asset of any REMIC. The Holders of the Class CE Certificates shall be the
beneficial owner of the Supplemental Interest Trust, subject to the power of the
Securities Administrator to transfer amounts under this Agreement. The
Securities Administrator shall keep records that accurately reflect the funds on
deposit in the Supplemental Interest Trust. The Securities Administrator shall,
at the written direction of the majority of the Class CE Certificateholders,
invest amounts on deposit in the Supplemental Interest Trust in Permitted
Investments. In the absence of written direction to the Securities Administrator
from the majority of the Class CE Certificateholders, all funds in the
Supplemental Interest Trust shall remain uninvested. On each Distribution Date,
the Securities Administrator shall distribute, not in respect of any REMIC, any
interest earned on the Supplemental Interest Trust to the Holders of the Class
CE Certificates.
(d) For federal income tax purposes, amounts paid to the Supplemental
Interest Trust on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.01(c)(2), (3),
(4), (6) and (7) and Section 5.01(c)(8)(vii) shall first be deemed paid to the
Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of the Class IO Interest to the extent of
the amount distributable on such Class IO Interest on such Distribution Date,
and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust
in respect of a Class IO Distribution Amount. For federal income tax purposes,
the Supplemental Interest Trust will be a disregarded entity.
(e) The Securities Administrator shall treat the Holders of
Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE and Residual Certificates) as
having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the Holders of
the Class CE Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract,
all Holders of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE and Residual
Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution
Date, to the Holder of the Class CE Certificates an aggregate amount equal to
the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the
Regular Interest ownership of which is represented by such Class of Certificates
over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution
Date (such excess, a "Class IO Distribution Amount"). A Class IO Distribution
Amount payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such
Certificates based on the amount of interest otherwise payable to such
Certificates, and a Class IO Distribution Amount payable from principal
collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of such
Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such
balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the Holder
of the Class CE Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Net WAC
Rate Carryover Amounts to the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class
CE, Class P and Residual Certificates) in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Any payments to such Certificates from amounts deemed received in
respect of this notional principal contract shall not be payments with respect
to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1).
However, any payment from the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and
Residual Certificates) of a Class IO Distribution Amount shall be treated for
tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Certificates in
respect of the Regular Interest ownership of which is represented by such
Certificates, and as having been paid by such Holders to the Supplemental
Interest Trust pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each
Certificate (other than the Class P Certificates and Residual Certificates)
shall be treated as representing not only ownership of a Regular Interest in
REMIC III, REMIC VII, REMIC VIII, REMIC IX, REMIC X, and REMIC XI, as
applicable, but also ownership of an interest in, and obligations with respect
to, a notional principal contract.
(f) For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the
holders of the Offered Certificates to receive payments from the Supplemental
Interest Trust shall be assigned a value of [_______].
(g) In the event that the Swap Agreement is terminated prior to the
Distribution Date in September 2009, the Seller shall use reasonable efforts to
appoint a successor swap provider using any Swap Termination Payments paid by
the Swap Provider. If the Seller is unable to locate a qualified successor swap
provider, any such Swap Termination Payments will be remitted to the Securities
Administrator for payment to the holders of the Offered Certificates in
accordance with Section 5.01(c).
SECTION 5.08. Tax Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination
Payments.
For federal income tax purposes, each holder of an Offered Certificate
is deemed to own an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a REMIC regular
interest and the right to receive payments from either the Reserve Fund or the
Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts or
the obligation to make payments to the Supplemental Interest Trust. For federal
income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator will account for payments to
each Offered Certificate as follows: each Offered Certificate will be treated as
receiving their entire payment from REMIC III (regardless of any Swap
Termination Payment or obligation under the Swap Agreement) and subsequently
paying their portion of any Swap Termination Payment in respect of each such
Class's obligation under the Swap Agreement. In the event that any such Class is
resecuritized in a REMIC, the obligation under the Swap Agreement to pay any
such Swap Termination Payment (or any shortfall in Net Swap Payment), will be
made by one or more of the REMIC Regular Interests issued by the
resecuritization REMIC subsequent to such REMIC Regular Interest receiving its
full payment from any such Offered Certificate. Resecuritization of any Offered
Certificate in a REMIC will be permissible only if the Securities Administrator
hereunder is the trustee/securities administrator in such resecuritization.
The REMIC Regular Interest corresponding to an Offered Certificate will
be entitled to receive interest and principal payments at the times and in the
amounts equal to those made on the certificate to which it corresponds, except
that (i) the maximum interest rate of that REMIC regular interest will equal the
Net WAC Pass-Through Rate computed for this purpose by limiting the Swap
Notional Amount of the Swap Agreement to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) any Swap Termination Payment will be treated as
being payable solely from amounts otherwise payable to the Class CE
Certificates. As a result of the foregoing, the amount of distributions and
taxable income on the REMIC Regular Interest corresponding to an Offered
Certificate may exceed the actual amount of distributions on the Offered
Certificate.
ARTICLE VI
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 6.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire
beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets
included in REMIC I.
The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as
Exhibits A-1 through A-5. The Certificates of each Class will be issuable in
registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as
described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all
rights of the related Class.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed and
authenticated by the Securities Administrator and delivered by the Trustee to
and upon the written order of the Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed
by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trust by the Securities
Administrator by an authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the manual or
facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of
the Securities Administrator shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at
the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such
Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided
herein executed by the Securities Administrator by manual signature, and such
certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
(b) The Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates shall
initially be issued as one or more Certificates held by the Book-Entry Custodian
or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as provided below, the Depository and
registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided
below, registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the
Securities Administrator except to another Depository that agrees to hold such
Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests
therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership Interests
in and to such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository
and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully
registered Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") in respect of such Ownership
Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership
Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the
procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm
representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only
transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate
Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in
accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. The Securities Administrator
is hereby initially appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to
act as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it
has with the Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian
may, and, if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian
shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the
Servicers and, if the Trustee is not the Book-Entry Custodian, the Trustee, any
other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository) to
act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry
Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided
that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its
duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than the
Depository. If the Securities Administrator resigns or is removed in accordance
with the terms hereof, the successor Securities Administrator or, if it so
elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as
Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to
obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the
Book-Entry Custodian.
(c) The Class CE Certificates and Class P Certificates offered and sold
to QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A") will be
issued in the form of Definitive Certificates.
(d) The Trustee, the Servicers, the Securities Administrator, the
Master Servicer and the Depositor may for all purposes (including the making of
payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates and Global Certificates) deal with
the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with
respect to the Book-Entry Certificates and Global Certificates for the purposes
of exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of
Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates and Global
Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between
such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms
representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and
votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates and Global
Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners. The
Securities Administrator may establish a reasonable record date in connection
with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall
give notice to the Depository of such record date.
If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Securities Administrator in writing
that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Securities
Administrator in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system
through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Default, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of
the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Securities
Administrator through the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a
book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of
the Certificate Owners, the Securities Administrator shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event
and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners
requesting the same. With respect to a Global Certificate, the related
Certificate Owner (other than a Holder of a Regulation S Temporary Global
Certificate) may request that its interest in a Global Certificate be exchanged
for a Definitive Certificate. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of
the Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as
applicable, or the Global Certificates by the Depository accompanied by
registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the
Securities Administrator shall cause the Definitive Certificates to be issued.
Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of 10,000
except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry
Certificate, or a Global Certificate, as applicable in an amount less than
10,000 immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be
issued in a minimum denomination equal to the amount represented by such
Book-Entry Certificate or a Global Certificate, as applicable. None of the
Depositor, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or
the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in the delivery of such instructions
and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein
to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed
to be imposed upon and performed by the Securities Administrator, to the extent
applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Securities
Administrator shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.
SECTION 6.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Securities Administrator shall cause to be kept at one of the
offices or agencies to be appointed by the Securities Administrator in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9.11, a Certificate Register for the
Certificates in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Securities Administrator shall provide for the registration of
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
(b) No transfer of any Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or
Residual Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of a Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or
Residual Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification (other
than in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the
Depositor), the Securities Administrator shall require receipt of: (i) if such
transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to
effect the transfer and from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1; (ii) if such transfer
is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act,
written certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the
transfer and from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee, substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 and (iii) in all other cases, an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator that such
transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Servicers),
together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Certificateholder
desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Certificateholder's prospective
transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based, if any. Neither of the
Depositor nor the Securities Administrator is obligated to register or qualify
any such Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities laws or
to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the
transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of any such Certificate shall,
and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Servicers against any liability
that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.
(c) No transfer of a Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate or a
Residual Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan subject
to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly,
on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates with "Plan
Assets" of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulation
promulgated at 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101 ("Plan Assets") unless the Securities
Administrator is provided with an Opinion of Counsel on which the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Servicers may
rely, which establishes to the satisfaction of the Securities Administrator that
the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will not
constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee, the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund to any
obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the
Servicers, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the
Trust Fund. An Opinion of Counsel will not be required in connection with the
initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any affiliate thereof shall have
deemed to have represented that such affiliate is not a Plan or a Person
investing Plan Assets) and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to
conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the
Securities Administrator, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor
of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.
For so long as the Supplemental Interest Trust is in existence, each
beneficial owner of a Offered Certificate or any interest therein, shall be
deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of the
Offered Certificate, or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or
(ii)(A) it is an accredited investor within the meaning of Prohibited
Transaction Exemption 2002-41, as amended from time to time (the "Exemption")
and (B) the acquisition and holding of such Certificate and the separate right
to receive payments from the Supplemental Interest Trust are eligible for the
exemptive relief available under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE")
84-14 (for transactions by independent "qualified professional asset managers"),
91-38 (for transactions by bank collective investment funds), 90-1 (for
transactions by insurance company pooled separate accounts), 95-60 (for
transactions by insurance company general accounts) or 96-23 (for transactions
effected by "in-house asset managers").
Each Transferee of a Mezzanine Certificate or any interest therein that
is acquired after the termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust will be
deemed to have represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such
Certificate (or interest therein) that either (a) such Transferee is not a Plan
or purchasing such Certificate with Plan Assets, (b) it has acquired and is
holding such Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption ("PTE")
94-84 or FAN 97-03E, as amended by PTE 97-34, 62 Fed. Reg. 39021 (July 21,
1997), PTE 2000-58, 65 Fed. Reg. 67765 (November 13, 2000) and PTE 2002-41, 67
Fed. Reg. 54487 (August 22, 2002) (the "Exemption"), and that it understands
that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption including
that such Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than
"BBB-" (or its equivalent) by a Rating Agency or (c) the following conditions
are satisfied: (i) such Transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source of
funds used to purchase or hold such Certificate (or interest therein) is an
"insurance company general account" (as defined in PTCE 95-60, and (iii) the
conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
If any Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in
violation of the conditions described in this Section 6.02(c), the next
preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of
that Certificate, retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported
beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of
any certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the conditions
described in this Section 6.02(c) shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and the Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities,
claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result of that
acquisition or holding.
(d) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably authorized the Securities Administrator or its designee under
clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to
execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in
connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall
promptly notify the Securities Administrator of any change or impending
change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall
require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any
Residual Certificate until its receipt of, an affidavit and agreement
(a "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement," in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B-3) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, representing and
warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted
Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the
Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a
nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted
Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section
6.02(d) and agrees to be bound by them. (C) Notwithstanding the
delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee
under clause (B) above, if an authorized officer of the Securities
Administrator who is assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge
that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer
of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to such proposed
Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit
and Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to
transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate and (Y) not
to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a Transferor
Affidavit (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2) to the
Securities Administrator stating that, among other things, it has no
actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such
Certificate, agrees to give the Securities Administrator written notice
that it is a "pass-through interest holder" within the meaning of
temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately
upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it
is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on
behalf of, a "pass-through interest holder."
(ii) The Securities Administrator will register the Transfer
of any Residual Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer
Affidavit and Agreement and all of such other documents as shall have
been reasonably required by the Securities Administrator as a condition
to such registration. In addition, no Transfer of a Residual
Certificate shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall
have received a representation letter from the Transferee of such
Certificate to the effect that such Transferee is a Permitted
Transferee.
(iii) (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of
a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
6.02(d), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as holder
thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of
such Residual Certificate. The Securities Administrator shall be under
no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a
Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
6.02(d) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such
holder under the provisions of this Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section
6.02(d) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the
rights of the holder of such Residual Certificate as described in
clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then
the Securities Administrator shall have the right, without notice to
the holder or any prior holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell
such Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Securities
Administrator on such terms as the Securities Administrator may choose.
Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each
Residual Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the
Securities Administrator. Such purchaser may be the Securities
Administrator itself or any Affiliate of the Securities Administrator.
The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include
commissions payable to the Securities Administrator or its Affiliates),
expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Securities
Administrator to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of
any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole
discretion of the Securities Administrator, and the Securities
Administrator shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such
discretion.
(iv) The Securities Administrator shall make available to the
Internal Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC
Provisions all information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as
a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including
the information described in Treasury regulations sections
1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the "excess
inclusions" of such Residual Certificate and (B) as a result of any
regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common
trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in
Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate having as among its record holders at any time any Person
which is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable compensation for
providing such information may be charged or collected by the
Securities Administrator.
(v) The provisions of this Section 6.02(d) set forth prior to
this subsection (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided
that there shall have been delivered to the Securities Administrator at
the expense of the party seeking to modify, add to or eliminate any
such provision the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect
that the modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions
will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings
of any Class of Certificates; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Securities Administrator, to the effect that such modification
of, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause any
Trust REMIC to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not cause any Trust
REMIC, as the case may be, to be subject to an entity-level tax caused
by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee or a Person other than the prospective transferee
to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual
Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the
Securities Administrator maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 9.11,
the Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates
of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.
(f) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be
exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations
and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to
be exchanged at any office or agency of the Securities Administrator maintained
for such purpose pursuant to Section 9.11. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered
for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Securities Administrator)
be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
the form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition, with
respect to each Class R Certificate, the holder thereof may exchange, in the
manner described above, such Class R Certificate for three separate
certificates, each representing such holder's respective Percentage Interest in
the Class R-I Interest, the Class R-II Interest and the Class R-III Interest,
respectively, in each case that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being
exchanged.
(g) No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
canceled and destroyed by the Securities Administrator in accordance with its
customary procedures.
SECTION 6.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities
Administrator, or the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and of the
ownership thereof, and (ii) there is delivered to the Securities Administrator
such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then,
in the absence of actual knowledge by the Securities Administrator that such
Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Securities
Administrator, shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in
lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of the same Class and of like denomination and Percentage Interest.
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Securities
Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Securities Administrator)
connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the
applicable REMIC created hereunder, as if originally issued, whether or not the
lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 6.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in
whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for
the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Servicers, the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator or any agent of any
of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 6.05. Certain Available Information.
On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Class CE Certificate,
Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate to an Independent third party, the
Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator ten copies of any
private placement memorandum or other disclosure document used by the Depositor
in connection with the offer and sale of such Certificate. In addition, if any
such private placement memorandum or disclosure document is revised, amended or
supplemented at any time following the delivery thereof to the Securities
Administrator, the Depositor promptly shall inform the Securities Administrator
of such event and shall deliver to the Securities Administrator ten copies of
the private placement memorandum or disclosure document, as revised, amended or
supplemented. The Securities Administrator shall maintain at its office as set
forth in Section 12.05 hereof and shall make available free of charge during
normal business hours for review by any Holder of a Certificate or any Person
identified to the Securities Administrator as a prospective transferee of a
Certificate, originals or copies of the following items: (i) in the case of a
Holder or prospective transferee of a Class CE Certificate, Class P Certificate
or Residual Certificate, the related private placement memorandum or other
disclosure document relating to such Class of Certificates, in the form most
recently provided to the Securities Administrator; and (ii) in all cases, (A)
this Agreement and any amendments hereof entered into pursuant to Section 11.01,
(B) all monthly statements required to be delivered to Certificateholders of the
relevant Class pursuant to Section 4.02 since the Closing Date, and all other
notices, reports, statements and written communications delivered to the
Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to this Agreement since the
Closing Date and (C) any copies of all Officers' Certificates of the Servicers
since the Closing Date delivered to the Master Servicer to evidence such
Person's determination that any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance was, or if
made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.
Copies and mailing of any and all of the foregoing items will be available from
the Securities Administrator upon request at the expense of the Person
requesting the same.
ARTICLE VII
THE DEPOSITOR, THE SERVICERS AND THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 7.01. Liability of the Depositor, the Servicers and the Master
Servicer.
The Depositor, Wells Fargo and the Master Servicer each shall be liable
in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
imposed by this Agreement upon them in their respective capacities as Depositor,
a Servicer and Master Servicer and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor, Wells
Fargo and the Master Servicer herein.
SECTION 7.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor, the Servicers
or the Master Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full
effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph, Wells
Fargo will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
national banking association. Subject to the following paragraph, the Master
Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
national banking association. The Depositor, Wells Fargo and the Master Servicer
each will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign
entity in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary
to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates
or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this
Agreement.
The Depositor, Wells Fargo or the Master Servicer may be merged or
consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of
its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Depositor, a Servicer or the Master Servicer shall be
a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, such
Servicer or the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor, such
Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided,
however, that any successor to a Servicer or the Master Servicer shall meet the
eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8.02(a) or Section 7.06 of this
Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
SECTION 7.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicers,
the Master Servicer and Others.
None of the Depositor, the Servicers, the Securities Administrator, the
Master Servicers or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to
the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining
from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or the
Servicing Agreement, as applicable, or for errors in judgment; provided,
however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, a Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or any such person against any
breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein or against any
specific liability imposed on any such Person pursuant hereto or against any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement,
as applicable. The Depositor, each Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the
Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor,
the related Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer may
rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly
executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.
The Depositor, the related Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Master
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, each
Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or
expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement,
the Servicing Agreement, the Certificates or any Credit Risk Management
Agreement or any loss, liability or expense incurred other than by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement. None of the
Depositor, any Servicer, the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer
shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action
unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and,
in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or liability; provided,
however, that each of the Depositor, each Servicer, the Securities Administrator
and the Master Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it
may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights
and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance
of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the
Depositor, the related Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection
Account, the Custodial Account or the Distribution Account as and to the extent
provided in Article III and Article IV, any such right of reimbursement being
prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the
Collection Account, the Custodial Account and the Distribution Account.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Servicer
shall be liable for any actions or inactions prior to the Cut-off Date of any
prior servicer of the related Mortgage Loans and the Master Servicer shall not
be liable for any action or inaction of any Servicer, except to the extent
expressly provided herein, or the Credit Risk Management Agreement.
SECTION 7.04. Limitation on Resignation of the Servicers.
(a) Except as expressly provided herein, no Servicer shall neither
assign all or substantially all of its rights under this Agreement or the
servicing hereunder nor delegate all or substantially all of its duties
hereunder nor sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its
property or assets without, in each case, the prior written consent of the
Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that in
each case, there must be delivered to the Trustee and the Master Servicer a
letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer of servicing or
sale or disposition of assets will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or
downgrade of the then-current rating of any of the Certificates. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Servicer, without the consent of the Trustee or the Master
Servicer, may retain third-party contractors to perform certain servicing and
loan administration functions, including without limitation hazard insurance
administration, tax payment and administration, flood certification and
administration, collection services and similar functions, provided, however,
that the retention of such contractors by the Servicer shall not limit the
obligation of the Servicer to service the related Mortgage Loans pursuant to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Servicer shall not resign from the
obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by consent of the Trustee or
upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law. Any such determination pursuant to the preceding sentence
permitting the resignation of a Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of such Servicer and delivered to
the Trustee and the Rating Agencies. No resignation of a Servicer shall become
effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed such
Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities
arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this
Agreement.
(i) Except as expressly provided herein, no Servicer shall
assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder
to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize
or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or
obligations to be performed by such Servicer hereunder. The foregoing
prohibition on assignment shall not prohibit a Servicer from
designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any indemnification amount
payable to the Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that as provided
in Section 3.02, no Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party beneficiary
hereunder and the parties hereto shall not be required to recognize any
Sub-Servicer as an indemnitee under this Agreement.
SECTION 7.05. Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no
longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination pursuant to the
preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the
Master Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies. No
resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a
successor Master Servicer meeting the criteria specified in Section 7.06 shall
have assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other
than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and
obligations under this Agreement.
SECTION 7.06. Assignment of Master Servicing.
The Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and delegate its
duties and obligations in its entirety as Master Servicer under this Agreement;
provided, however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accept in writing such
assignment and delegation and assume the obligations of the Master Servicer
hereunder (a) shall have a net worth of not less than 25,000,000 (unless
otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below); (b)
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (as evidenced in a writing
signed by the Trustee); and (c) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an
agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which
contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and
observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as
master servicer under this Agreement, any custodial agreement from and after the
effective date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior
written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer
and each Rating Agency's rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior
to such assignment, sale and delegation will not be downgraded, qualified or
withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as evidenced by a
letter to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee; and
(iii) the Master Servicer assigning and selling the master servicing shall
deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Independent
counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this
Agreement have been completed and such action is permitted by and complies with
the terms of this Agreement. No such assignment or delegation shall affect any
liability of the Master Servicer arising out of acts or omissions prior to the
effective date thereof.
SECTION 7.07. Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Servicers and
the Master Servicer.
Each of the Master Servicer and any Servicer that is a party hereto
shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that each
Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor and the Trustee, upon reasonable
notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the
Master Servicer or the related Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) in respect
of the related Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder and access to
officers of the Master Servicer or such Servicer (and those of any such
Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations, and the Master Servicer shall
have access to all such records maintained by such Servicer and any
Sub-Servicers. Upon request, each of the Master Servicer and such Servicer shall
furnish to the Depositor and the Trustee its (and any such Sub-Servicer's) most
recent financial statements and such other information relating to the Master
Servicer's or such Servicer's capacity to perform its obligations under this
Agreement as it possesses (and that any such Sub-Servicer possesses). To the
extent such information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor
and the Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the
preceding two sentences without the Master Servicer's or the related Servicer's
written consent, except as required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent
that it is appropriate to do so (i) to its legal counsel, auditors, taxing
authorities or other governmental agencies and the Certificateholders, (ii)
pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or
decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the
Depositor and the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in any case, the Depositor or
the Trustee, (iii) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes
publicly known, or information obtained by the Trustee from sources other than
the Depositor, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer, (iv) disclosure as
required pursuant to this Agreement or (v) disclosure of any and all information
(A) in any preliminary or final offering circular, registration statement or
contract or other document pertaining to the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement approved in advance by the Depositor, the related Servicer or the
Master Servicer or (B) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor, agent,
employee or attorney of the Trustee having a need to know the same, provided
that the Trustee advises such recipient of the confidential nature of the
information being disclosed, shall use its best efforts to assure the
confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. Nothing in this
Section 7.07 shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to comply with any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors
and the failure of the related Servicer to provide access as provided in this
Section 7.07 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of
this Section. Nothing in this Section 7.07 shall require the related Servicer to
collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not
generate in its usual course of business. No Servicer shall be required to make
copies of or ship documents to any party unless provisions have been made for
the reimbursement of the costs thereof. The Depositor may, but is not obligated
to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer, Wells Fargo under this
Agreement or Countrywide under the Servicing Agreement, and may, but is not
obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation
of the Master Servicer, Wells Fargo under this Agreement or Countrywide under
the Servicing Agreement, or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer, Wells
Fargo under this Agreement or Countrywide under the Servicing Agreement;
provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the related Servicer shall be
relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Servicing
Agreement, as applicable, by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its
designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any
action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Servicer and is not
obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Servicers
under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or otherwise.
SECTION 7.08. Duties of the Credit Risk Manager.
For and on behalf of the Depositor, the Credit Risk Manager will
provide reports and recommendations concerning certain delinquent and defaulted
Mortgage Loans, and as to the collection of any Prepayment Charges with respect
to the Mortgage Loans. Such reports and recommendations will be based upon
information provided to the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to the Credit Risk
Management Agreements, and the Credit Risk Manager shall look solely to the
Servicers and/or Master Servicer for all information and data (including loss
and delinquency information and data) relating to the servicing of the related
Mortgage Loans. Upon any termination of the Credit Risk Manager or the
appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager, the Depositor shall give written
notice thereof to the related Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee, and each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the termination of the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to this Section
shall not become effective until the appointment of a successor Credit Risk
Manager. The Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into any Credit Risk
Management Agreement necessary to effect the foregoing.
SECTION 7.09. Limitation Upon Liability of the Credit Risk Manager.
Neither the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of its directors, officers,
employees, or agents shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the
Certificateholders, or the Depositor for any action taken or for refraining from
the taking of any action made in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, in
reliance upon information provided by the Servicer under the related Credit Risk
Management Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect the Credit Risk Manager or any such person against
liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance or
bad faith in its performance of its duties. The Credit Risk Manager and any
director, officer, employee, or agent of the Credit Risk Manager may rely in
good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder, and may rely
in good faith upon the accuracy of information furnished by the related Servicer
pursuant to the related Credit Risk Management Agreement in the performance of
its duties thereunder and hereunder.
SECTION 7.10. Removal of the Credit Risk Manager.
The Credit Risk Manager may be removed as Credit Risk Manager by
Certificateholders holding not less than 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights in the
Trust Fund, in the exercise of its or their sole discretion. The
Certificateholders shall provide written notice of the Credit Risk Manager's
removal to the Trustee. Upon receipt of such notice, the Trustee shall provide
written notice to the Credit Risk Manager of its removal, which shall be
effective upon receipt of such notice by the Credit Risk Manager, with a copy to
the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer.

required to be made by such Servicer under the terms of the
Certificates and this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period
of one (1) Business Day after the date upon which written notice of

the cure period may be extended for an additional thirty (30) days if
such Servicer can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Trustee that the Servicer is diligently pursuing remedial action; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case
under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or

unstayed for a period of ninety (90) days; or
(iv) a Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a

its property; or

(viii) failure of a Servicer to maintain at least an "average"
rating from the Rating Agencies.
A "Servicer Event of Default" whenever used herein means, with respect
to Countrywide, an event of default by under the Servicing Agreement.
If a Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (vi) or

Servicing Agreement shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long
as such Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or
the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to the defaulting Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the Trustee
or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor) with a copy to the Master Servicer
and each Rating Agency, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
defaulting Servicer in its capacity as a Servicer under this Agreement, to the
extent permitted by law, and in and to the related Mortgage Loans and the
proceeds thereof. If a Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vii)
hereof or the corresponding Servicer Event of Default under the Servicing
Agreement shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the defaulting
Servicer, the Depositor and the Master Servicer, terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the defaulting Servicer in its capacity as a Servicer under this
Agreement and in and to the related Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.
Subject to Section 8.02 of this Agreement, on or after the receipt by the
defaulting Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the
defaulting Servicer under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as
applicable, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of
any Certificate) or the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and
be vested in the Master Servicer, or if Wells Fargo is the defaulting Servicer,
the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the
Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, is hereby authorized and
empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf
of and at the expense of the defaulting Servicer, any and all documents and
other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the related Mortgage
Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The defaulting Servicer agrees
promptly (and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days subsequent to
such notice) to provide the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, with
all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the defaulting
Servicer's functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Master
Servicer in effecting the termination of the defaulting Servicer's
responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation,
the transfer within one (1) Business Day to the Master Servicer or the Trustee,
as applicable, for administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time
shall be or should have been credited by the defaulting Servicer to the related
Collection Account held by or on behalf of the defaulting Servicer or thereafter
be received with respect to the related Mortgage Loans or any related REO
Property (provided, however, that the defaulting Servicer shall continue to be
entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on
or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of P&I Advances,
Servicing Advances, accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees or otherwise, and shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.03 of this Agreement,
notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to
such termination). Reimbursement of unreimbursed P&I Advances, Servicing
Advances and accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees shall be made on a first in,
first out ("FIFO") basis no later than the Servicer Remittance Date. For
purposes of this Section 8.01(a), the Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of a Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee's Corporate Trust Office has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact
such a Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee at its Corporate
Trust Office and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust or this
Agreement. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Rating
Agencies of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Default of which it has
knowledge as provided above.
The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to
be reimbursed by the defaulting Servicer (or from amounts on deposit in the
Distribution Account if the defaulting Servicer is unable to fulfill its
obligations hereunder) for all reasonable out-of-pocket or third party costs
associated with the transfer of servicing from the defaulting Servicer,
including without limitation, any reasonable out-of-pocket or third party costs
or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required
by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to correct any errors or
insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer
or the Trustee, as applicable, to service the related Mortgage Loans properly
and effectively, upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and
expenses.
(b) "Master Servicer Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any
one of the following events:
(i) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to
observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants
or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this
Agreement, or the breach by the Master Servicer of any representation
and warranty contained in Section 2.04, which continues unremedied for
a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to
the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee or to the Master
Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or
(ii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case
under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, 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 or unstayed for a period of ninety (90) days; or
(iii) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of
a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment
of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings
of or relating to it or of or relating to all or substantially all of
its property; or
(iv) 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.
If a Master Servicer Event of Default shall occur, then, and in each
and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not
have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written
direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting
Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to
the Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the
Depositor) with a copy to each Rating Agency, terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this
Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and
the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such
written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of
any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise including, without
limitation, the compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this
Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and
empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf
of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, any and all documents and other
instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees promptly (and in any
event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the
Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume
the Master Servicer's functions under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the
Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities
and rights under this Agreement (provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it
under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination and shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.03 of this Agreement,
notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior to
such termination). For purposes of this Section 8.01(b), the Trustee shall not
be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee's
Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of
any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer Event of Default is received
by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust or this
Agreement. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default of which it has knowledge as
provided above.
To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Trustee related to the
termination of the Master Servicer, appointment of a successor Master Servicer
or the transfer and assumption of the master servicing by the Trustee
(including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due
diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential
termination of the Master Servicer as a result of a Master Servicer Event of
Default and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of
the master servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and
the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be
required by the successor Master Servicer to correct any errors or
insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor
Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this
Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Master
Servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and
expenses from the Distribution Account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may, if it shall be
unwilling to continue to act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, or appoint on its own behalf, any
established housing and home finance institution servicer, master servicer,
servicing or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than
25,000,000 and meeting such other standards for a successor master servicer as
are set forth in this Agreement, as the successor to such Master Servicer in the
assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a master
servicer.
SECTION 8.02. Master Servicer or Trustee to Act; Appointment of
Successor.
(a) On and after the time a Servicer receives a notice of termination,
the Master Servicer or, if Wells Fargo receives the notice of termination, the
Trustee, shall be the successor in all respects to such Servicer in its capacity
as a Servicer under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable,
and the transactions set forth or provided for herein or therein, and all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter
shall be assumed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable (except
for any representations or warranties of such Servicer under this Agreement ort
the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities contained in Section 2.03 of this Agreement and the obligation to
deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.10(b) of this
Agreement) by the terms and provisions hereof including, without limitation,
such Servicer's obligations to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 5.03 of
this Agreement or pursuant to the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that
if the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, is prohibited by law or
regulation from obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage
loans, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable shall not be
obligated to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 5.03 of this Agreement or
pursuant to the Servicing Agreement; and provided further, that any failure to
perform such duties or responsibilities caused by such Servicer's failure to
provide information required by Section 8.01 of this Agreement or under the
Servicing Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Master Servicer or
the Trustee, as applicable as successor to such Servicer hereunder; provided,
however, that (1) it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that
there will be a period of transition (not to exceed ninety (90) days) before the
actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to the Master Servicer or
the Trustee, as applicable or any successor Servicer appointed in accordance
with the following provisions and (2) any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by such Servicer's failure to provide information
required by Section 8.01 of this Agreement or under the Servicing Agreement
shall not be considered a default by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable as successor to such Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee
and all funds relating to the related Mortgage Loans to which the terminated
Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder or under
the Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the above and subject to the
immediately following paragraph, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to
so act promptly appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, a Person that satisfies the eligibility criteria set forth below as the
successor to the terminated Servicer under this Agreement or under the Servicing
Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement or under the
Servicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the
Trustee or the Master Servicer be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any
differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder or under the
Servicing Agreement and the amount necessary to induce any successor Servicer to
act as successor Servicer under this Agreement or under the Servicing Agreement
and the transactions set forth or provided for herein.
Any successor Servicer appointed under this Agreement must (i) be an
established mortgage loan servicing institution that is a Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac approved seller/servicer, (ii) be approved by each Rating Agency by a
written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the appointment of such
successor Servicer would not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then
current ratings of any outstanding Class of Certificates, (iii) have a net worth
of not less than 25,000,000 and (iv) assume all the responsibilities, duties or
liabilities of the related Servicer (other than liabilities of the related
Servicer hereunder incurred prior to termination of the related Servicer under
Section 8.01 herein) under this Agreement as if originally named as a party to
this Agreement.
(b) (1) All servicing transfer costs (including, without limitation,
servicing transfer costs of the type described in Section 8.02(a) of this
Agreement and incurred by the Trustee, the Master Servicer and any successor
Servicer under paragraph (b)(2) below) in connection with the termination of a
Servicer shall be paid by the terminated Servicer upon presentation of
reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor or initial
Servicer, as applicable, defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, the
successor Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to
reimbursement therefor from the assets of the Trust Fund.
(2) No appointment of a successor to a Servicer under this Agreement
shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of such
Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection
with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the
related Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however,
that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the related
Servicer as such hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement. The Depositor, the
Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Pending
appointment of a successor to the related Servicer under this Agreement, the
Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable shall act in such capacity as
hereinabove provided.
SECTION 8.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of the Master Servicer or a Servicer pursuant
to Section 8.01(a) or (b) of this Agreement or under the Servicing Agreement, as
applicable, or any appointment of a successor to the master Servicer or a
Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02 of this Agreement or pursuant to the Servicing
Agreement, as applicable, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof
to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the
Certificate Register.
(b) Not later than the later of sixty (60) days after the occurrence of
any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute a Servicer Event of Default or a Master Servicer Event of
Default or five (5) days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes
aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to
all Holders of Certificates notice of each such occurrence, unless such default
or Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall have been
cured or waived.
SECTION 8.04. Waiver of Servicer Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights evidenced by
all Classes of Certificates affected by any default, Servicer Event of Default
or Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder may waive such default, Servicer
Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default; provided, however, that a
Servicer Event of Default under clause (i) or (vii) of Section 8.01(a) of this
Agreement may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular Certificates.
Upon any such waiver of a default, Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer
Event of Default, such default, Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer
Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied
for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other default, Servicer Event of Default or Master Servicer Event of Default or
impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
ARTICLE IX
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR
SECTION 9.01. Duties of Trustee and Securities Administrator.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Default and after the curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events of Default
which may have occurred, and the Securities Administrator each undertake to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement as duties of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator,
respectively. During the continuance of a Master Servicer Event of Default, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in
this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.
Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of
all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders
or other instruments furnished to it, which are specifically required to be
furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to
determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any
such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in
a material manner, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may
be, shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument
corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, the

The Trustee shall promptly remit to the related Servicer any complaint,
claim, demand, notice or other document (collectively, the "Notices") delivered
to the Trustee as a consequence of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder
and relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans; provided than any such
notice (i) is delivered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, (ii)
contains information sufficient to permit the Trustee to make a determination
that the real property to which such document relates is a Mortgaged Property.
The Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any Notice it may
receive or which may be alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it
unless such Notice is delivered to it or served upon it at its Corporate Trust
Office and such Notice contains the information required pursuant to clause (ii)
of the preceding sentence.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator from liability for its own negligent
action, its own negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided,
however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Master Servicer
Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to the Trustee
and at all times with respect to the Securities Administrator, the
duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the
Securities Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of
such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and, in
the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, respectively, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, respectively, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of
the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein,
upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, respectively, that conform to the
requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator
shall be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee or an
officer or officers of the Securities Administrator, respectively,
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, respectively, was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts; and
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator
shall be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted
to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the

or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may consult

shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers
vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any
litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or

of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be,
reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the
obligation, upon the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default
(which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights
and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree
of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise
or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own

shall be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good
faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Certificates entitled
to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the
payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be
incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion
of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, not
reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator by
such Certificateholders, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
as applicable, may require reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it
against such expense, or liability from such Certificateholders as a
condition to taking any such action;
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers

the redemption or sale of any such investment as therein authorized;
(viii) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any

the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Agreement on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust in the form presented to
it by the Depositor and shall have no responsibility for the contents of the
Swap Agreement, including, without limitation, the representations and
warranties contained therein. Any funds payable by the Trustee on behalf of the
Supplemental Interest Trust under the Swap Agreement shall be paid from funds of
the Supplemental Interest Trust in accordance with the terms and provisions of
the Swap Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or
in the Swap Agreement, the Trustee shall not be required to make any payments to
the counterparty under the Swap Agreement.
(d) None of the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the
Servicers, the Seller, the Depositor, the Custodians or the Trustee shall be
responsible for the acts or omissions of the others or the Swap Provider, it
being understood that this Agreement shall not be construed to render those
partners joint venturers or agents of one another.

Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
signature of the Securities Administrator, the authentication of the Securities
Administrator on the Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained

Administrator on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document.
The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall not be accountable for the

the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Custodians shall be
indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or
expense (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred by the

Trustee harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee by reason of the Master
Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance

of at least 50,000,000 (or a member of a bank holding company whose capital and
surplus is at least 50,000,000) and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority. If such corporation or association publishes reports
of conditions at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of conditions so published. In case at any time the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect specified in Section 9.07 of this Agreement.

The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may at any time resign and

Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint
a successor trustee or successor securities administrator by written instrument,
in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or
Securities Administrator, as applicable, and to the successor trustee or
successor securities administrator, as applicable. A copy of such instrument
shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer by the Depositor. If no successor trustee
or successor securities administrator shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case may
be, may, at the expense of the Trust Fund, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, successor securities
administrator, Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable.
If at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall cease

Agreement and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator or of its property shall
be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor may remove the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable and appoint a successor
trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable, by written

the Securities Administrator so removed and to the successor trustee or
successor securities administrator. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered

instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their
attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall
be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A
copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the
Trustee (in the case of the removal of the Securities Administrator), the
Securities Administrator (in the case of the removal of the Trustee) and the
Master Servicer by the Depositor.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator and appointment of a successor trustee or successor securities
administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become
effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or successor
securities administrator, as applicable, as provided in Section 9.08.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Master
Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall at all times be the same Person.
SECTION 9.08. Successor Trustee or Securities Administrator.
Any successor trustee or successor securities administrator appointed
as provided in Section 9.07 of this Agreement shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Depositor and its predecessor trustee or predecessor securities
administrator an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or predecessor securities
administrator shall become effective and such successor trustee or successor
securities administrator without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee or
securities administrator herein. The predecessor trustee or predecessor
securities administrator shall deliver to the successor trustee or successor
securities administrator all Mortgage Loan Documents and related documents and
statements to the extent held by it hereunder, as well as all monies, held by it
hereunder, and the Depositor and the predecessor trustee or predecessor
securities administrator shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such
other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting
and confirming in the successor trustee or successor securities administrator
all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall accept
appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance
such successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 9.06 and the appointment of such successor
trustee or successor securities administrator shall not result in a downgrading
of any Class of Certificates by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from
each Rating Agency.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or successor
securities administrator as provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail
notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of
Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the
Depositor fails to mail such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee or successor securities administrator, the
successor trustee or successor securities administrator shall cause such notice
to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.
SECTION 9.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Securities
Administrator.
Any corporation or association into which the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or
any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be a
party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the business of the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be the successor of the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator hereunder, provided such corporation or association
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06 of this Agreement,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 9.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the REMIC I or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or
co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees,
of all or any part of REMIC I, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity, and for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates, such title to
REMIC I, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 9.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee
may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 9.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the
appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under
Section 9.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 9.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to a defaulting Master Servicer hereunder),
the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in
which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding
of title to REMIC I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction
of the Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article IX. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of
the trust conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in
its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee, or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee or co-trustee.
SECTION 9.11. Appointment of Office or Agency.
The Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange at the Securities Administrator's office located at Sixth and
Marquette, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, and presented for final distribution at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Securities Administrator where notices and
demands to or upon the Securities Administrator in respect of the Certificates
and this Agreement may be served.
SECTION 9.12. Representations and Warranties.
The Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, the Servicers and the Depositor as applicable, as of
the Closing Date, that:
(i) It is a national banking association duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United
States of America.
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, and
the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by it,
will not violate its articles of association or bylaws or constitute a
default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both,
would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any
material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or which
is applicable to it or any of its assets.
(iii) It has the full power and authority to enter into and
consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly
authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement,
and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.
(iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and
binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with the
terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles
of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.
(v) It is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery
of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of
this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order
or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand
of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority,
which violation, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely
to affect materially and adversely either the ability of it to perform
its obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.
(vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best of its
knowledge, threatened against it, which would prohibit it from entering
into this Agreement or, in its good faith reasonable judgment, is
likely to materially and adversely affect either the ability of it to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or its financial
condition.

10.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after
the time specified in such notice, the Securities Administrator shall mail a
second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender
their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution
with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities
Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to the
remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of
contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in
the trust funds. If within one (1) year after the final notice any such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities
Administrator shall pay to the Depositor all such amounts, and all rights of
non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No
interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held
in trust by the Securities Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder's
failure to surrender its Certificate(s) on the final Distribution Date for final
payment thereof in accordance with this Section 10.01. Any such amounts held in
trust by the Securities Administrator shall be held uninvested in an Eligible
Account.

Counsel except as specified herein. The Securities Administrator, as agent for
each Trust REMIC's tax matters person shall (i) act on behalf of the Trust Fund

regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations section
301.6231(a)(7)-1, as the tax matters person of the related REMIC created
hereunder. By their acceptance thereof, the holder of the largest Percentage
Interest of the Residual Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the
Securities Administrator or an Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the
duties of the tax matters person for the Trust Fund.
(d) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file and the Trustee

(e) The Securities Administrator shall perform on behalf of each Trust
REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility
of 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, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other
such compliance guidance, the Securities Administrator shall provide (i) to any
Transferor of a Residual Certificate such information as is necessary for the
application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any
Person who is not a Permitted Transferee upon receipt of additional reasonable
compensation, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are
required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to
interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the

representative of each Trust REMIC. The Depositor shall provide or cause to be
provided to the Securities Administrator, within ten (10) days after the Closing
Date, all information or data that the Securities Administrator reasonably
determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices
of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment
assumption and projected cash flow of the Certificates.

REMIC created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or
maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions, (ii) shall
not take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or
fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken
or not taken, as the case may be, could (A) endanger the status of each Trust
REMIC as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund
(including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth
in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an "Adverse REMIC Event")
unless such action or inaction is permitted under this Agreement or the Trustee
and the Securities Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed
to the them (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no
event at the expense of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator) to the
effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to any Trust REMIC,
endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor (iii) shall
the Securities Administrator take or fail to take any action (whether or not
authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that it
has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event
could occur with respect to such action; provided that the Securities
Administrator may conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and shall incur
no liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with such Opinion of
Counsel. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any Trust REMIC
or the respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any action,
which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Securities
Administrator will consult with the Trustee or its designee, in writing, with
respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with
respect to any Trust REMIC, and the Securities Administrator shall not take any
such action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the
Trustee has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The
Trustee may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of
same shall be home by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this
Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions"
of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on
the "net income from foreclosure property" of such REMIC as defined in Section
860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup
Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is
imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws,
such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.03 of this
Agreement, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of
any of its obligations under this Article XI, (ii) to the Securities
Administrator pursuant to Section 11.03, if such tax arises out of or results
from a breach by the Securities Administrator of any of its obligations under
this Article XI, (iii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 11.03 of this
Agreement, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master
Servicer of any of its obligations under Article IV or under this Article XI,
(iv) to the related Servicer pursuant to Section 11.03 of this Agreement, if
such tax arises out of or results from a breach by such Servicer of any of its
obligations under Article III or under this Article XI, or (v) in all other
cases, against amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid
by withdrawal therefrom.
(h) The Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax
purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a
calendar year and on an accrual basis.
(i) Following the Startup Day, neither the Securities Administrator nor
the Trustee shall accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other
than in connection with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in
accordance with Section 2.03 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause
the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding or subject such REMIC to any tax under the REMIC
Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or
ordinances.
(j) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall
knowingly enter into any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee
or other compensation for services nor permit either REMIC to receive any income
from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the
Code.

identification number with the Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other

and the Securities Administrator (at the expense of the party seeking to cause
such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution but in no
event at the expense of the Trustee) that such sale, disposition, substitution,
acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any
Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on
"prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

(a) The Trustee agrees to be liable for any taxes and costs incurred by
the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator

SECTION 12.09. Grant of Security Interest.

the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, be, and be construed as, a sale of
the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans to
secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are
held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a) it is the express intent of the
parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the
Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor and
(b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the
meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from
time to time in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance provided for in
Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security
interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the
Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary
or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other
property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment
earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account and the
Distribution Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or
other property; (3) the obligations secured by such security agreement shall be
deemed to be all of the Depositor's obligations under this Agreement, including
the obligation to provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this
Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund; and (4)
notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications
to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial
intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose
of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Accordingly, the
Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and
all other property described in clause (2) of the preceding sentence, for the
purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance by the Depositor of the
obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01
to be a true, absolute and unconditional sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets
constituting the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee, on behalf of the
Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
SECTION 12.10. Survival of Indemnification.
Any and all indemnities to be provided by any party to this Agreement

Administrator, the Servicer and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,

purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the

REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans (and properties acquired in respect thereof) at the time of
purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate principal balance of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor
and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assumes any
responsibility for their correctness.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this

pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective registration or

transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the

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

in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Servicer and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Servicer may treat the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, the Servicer nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby
shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by
the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in
REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans (and properties acquired in respect thereof) at the time of
purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate principal balance of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor
and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume any
responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Securities Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this
Certificate to be duly executed.

Certificate will be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the
pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this
Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator

Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Servicer and the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the

to the Securities Administrator duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such
Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Securities Administrator shall require
receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule
144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective
transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B-1,
and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such
transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator in their respective
capacities as such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the
Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder's
prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the
Depositor, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator is obligated to register
or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933
Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required
under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this
Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator against any liability that may
result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such
federal and state laws.
No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 6.02 of the Agreement.
Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the
Securities Administrator (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is
any Person other than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a
broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a
certificate that acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been
designated as representing the beneficial ownership of the residual interests in
each of REMIC I and REMIC II, (B) it will include in its income a PRO RATA share
of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an "excess
inclusion," as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those
relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof,
shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 6.02 of the
Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of
the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person
other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause any portion
of the Trust Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a
tax upon any REMIC.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Securities Administrator may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of
Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, the Servicer and any agent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Servicer may
treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Servicer nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Securities Administrator and required to be paid to them
pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or
other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate
Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans (and properties acquired in
respect thereof) at the time of purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the
aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator assume
any responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Securities Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this
Certificate to be duly executed.

owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis $________________(1) in
securities (except for the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end
of the Transferee's most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in
accordance with Rule 144A) and (ii) the Transferee satisfies the criteria in the
category marked below.

agency or instrumentality of the State or its political
subdivisions, for the benefit of its employees.
___ ERISA PLAN. The Transferee is an employee benefit plan within

(1) Transferee must own and/or invest on a discretionary basis at least
$100,000,000 in securities unless Transferee is a dealer, and, in that
case, Transferee must own and/or invest on a discretionary basis at least
$10,000,000 in securities.
3. The term "SECURITIES" as used herein DOES NOT INCLUDE (i)
securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee, (ii) securities

4. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of
securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the
Transferee used the cost of such securities to the Transferee and did not
include any of the securities referred to in the preceding paragraph. Further,

third party that at the time is a "qualified institutional buyer" within the
meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that the Transferee
will not purchase securities for a third party unless the Transferee has
obtained a current representation letter from such third party or taken other
appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party
independently meets the definition of "qualified institutional buyer" set forth
in Rule 144A.
7. The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which
this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions
herein. Until such notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the
Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the
date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and
loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such
parties updated annual financial statements promptly after they become
available.

TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT
STATE OF NEW YORK )
) ss.:
COUNTY OF NEW YORK )
___________________________ being duly sworn, deposes, represents and
warrants as follows:
1. I am a _____________________ of _______________________________
(the "Owner") a corporation duly organized and existing under the
laws of _________________________, the record owner of ACE
Securities Corp. Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2005-HE7 Asset
Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Class R Certificates (the
"Class R Certificates"), on behalf of whom I make this affidavit
and agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have
the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement pursuant to which the Class R Certificates
were issued.
2. The Owner (i) is and will be a "Permitted Transferee" as of
____________________. ____ and (ii) is acquiring the Class R
Certificates for its own account or for the account of another
Owner from which it has received an affidavit in substantially
the same form as this affidavit. A "Permitted Transferee" is any
person other than a "disqualified organization" or a possession
of the United States. For this purpose, a "disqualified
organization" means the United States, any state or political
subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of the activities of
which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is
not selected by any such governmental entity) or any foreign
government, international organization or any agency or
instrumentality of such foreign government or organization, any
real electric or telephone cooperative, or any organization
(other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally
exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is
subject to the tax on unrelated business taxable income.
3. The Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
transfers of the Class R Certificates to disqualified
organizations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that
applies to all transfers of the Class R Certificates after April
31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor or, if
such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a
broker, nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on
the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax
shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee
furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee is a
Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such person
does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and
(iv) that each of the Class R Certificates may be a "noneconomic
residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury
regulations promulgated under the Code and that the transferor of
a "noneconomic residual interest" will remain liable for any
taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest,
unless no significant purpose of the transfer is to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
4. The Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through entity"
holding the Class R Certificates if, at any time during the
taxable year of the pass-through entity, a non-Permitted
Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity.
(For this purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated
investment company, a real estate investment trust or common
trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain
cooperatives.)
5. The Owner is aware that the Securities Administrator will not
register the transfer of any Class R Certificate unless the
transferee, or the transferee's agent, delivers to the Securities
Administrator, among other things, an affidavit in substantially
the same form as this affidavit. The Owner expressly agrees that
it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes
that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and
agreement are false.
6. The Owner consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements
that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to
constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R
Certificates will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by an
Owner that is a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Owner's taxpayer identification number is ________________.
8. The Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of
the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 6.02(d) of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R
Certificates were issued (in particular, clauses (iii)(A) and
(iii)(B) of Section 6.02(d) which authorize the Securities
Administrator to deliver payments to a person other than the
Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale by the Securities
Administrator in the event that the Owner holds such Certificate
in violation of Section 6.02(d)); and that the Owner expressly
agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and
provisions.
9. The Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the Class R
Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of
any tax.
10. The Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the Class
R Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by
the holder of such Class R Certificates, and hereby represents to
and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class
R Certificates that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated
with holding such Class R Certificates as they become due, fully
understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any
cash flows generated by the Class R Certificates.
11. The Owner has no present knowledge that it may become insolvent
or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the
Class R Certificates.
12. The Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be
unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any
of the Certificates remain outstanding.
13. The Owner is not acquiring the Class R Certificates with the
intent to transfer the Class R Certificates to any person or
entity that will not have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed
by the holder of such Class R Certificates, or that may become
insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, for so long as
the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.
14. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of
the Class R Certificates, obtain from its transferee the
representations required by Section 6.02(d) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificate were
issued and will not consummate any such transfer if it knows, or
knows facts that should lead it to believe, that any such
representations are false.
15. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of
the Class R Certificates, deliver to the Securities Administrator
an affidavit, which represents and warrants that it is not
transferring the Class R Certificates to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax and that it has no actual knowledge that
the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient assets to pay any
taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the Class R
Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a
bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Class R Certificates
remains outstanding; and (iii) is not a "Permitted Transferee".
16. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in,
or under the laws of, the United States or any political
subdivision thereof, or an estate or trust whose income from
sources without the United States may be included in gross income
for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its
connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the
United States.
17. The Owner of the Class R Certificate, hereby agrees that in the
event that the Trust Fund created by the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.01 thereof, the
undersigned shall assign and transfer to the Holders of the Class
CE and the Class P Certificates any amounts in excess of par
received in connection with such termination. Accordingly, in the
event of such termination, the Securities Administrator is hereby
authorized to withhold any such amounts in excess of par and to
pay such amounts directly to the Holders of the Class CE and the
Class P Certificates. This agreement shall bind and be
enforceable against any successor, transferee or assigned of the
undersigned in the Class R Certificate. In connection with any
transfer of the Class R Certificate, the Owner shall obtain an
agreement substantially similar to this clause from any
subsequent owner.
