This
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, effective as of _______________ 1, 200_, among
ALLIANCE SECURITIES CORP., as the company (together with its permitted
successors and assigns, the “Depositor”), [NAME OF MASTER SERVICER], as master
servicer (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “Master
Servicer”), and [NAME OF TRUSTEE], as trustee (together with its permitted
successors and assigns, the “Trustee”),
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT:
The
Depositor intends to sell mortgage pass-through certificates (collectively,
the
“Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes (each, a “Class”),
which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest
in
the Mortgage Loans (as defined herein). As provided herein, the Master Servicer
will make an election to treat the segregated pool of assets described in the
definition of Trust Fund (as defined herein), and subject to this Agreement
(including the Mortgage Loans but excluding the Initial Monthly Payment
Deposit), as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”) for federal
income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated
as
the “Trust Fund.” The Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5,
Class A-6, Class A-7 and Class B Certificates will represent ownership of
“regular interests” in the Trust Fund, and the Class R Certificates will be the
sole class of “residual interests” therein, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions
(as defined herein) under federal income tax law.
The
following table sets forth the designation, type, Pass-Through Rate, aggregate
Initial Certificate Principal Balance, initial ratings and certain features
for
each Class of Certificates comprising the interests in the Trust Fund created
hereunder.
AGGREGATE

In

Whenever

otherwise requires, shall have the meanings specified in this
Article.

Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate Principal Balance thereof immediately
prior
to such Distribution Date. With respect to each Distribution Date, as to the
Class A-5 Certificates and Class A-7 Certificates, one month’s interest accrued
at the then applicable Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Amount thereof
immediately prior to such Distribution Date. Accrued Certificate Interest will
be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
In each case Accrued Certificate Interest on any Class of Certificates will
be
reduced by the amount of (i) Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, if any, which
are
not covered by payments by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.26 with
respect to such Distribution Date, (ii) the interest portion (adjusted to the
related Net Mortgage Rate) of any of Realized Losses (including Excess Special
Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses and Extraordinary

allocated to the Class A-1, Class A-5 and Class A-6 Certificates will be
allocated first to the Class A-6 Certificates and second to the Class A-1 and
Class A-5 Certificates on a pro rata basis to the extent such Realized Losses
are Default Losses), (iii) the interest portion of Advances previously made
with
respect to a Mortgage Loan or REO Property which remained unreimbursed following

or Extraordinary Losses, and (iv) any other interest shortfalls not covered
by
the subordination provided by the Class B Certificates pursuant to Section
4.04,
including interest that is not collectible from the Mortgagor pursuant to the
Relief Act or similar legislation or regulations as in effect from time to
time;
with all such reductions allocated among the Classes of Certificates, in
proportion to their respective amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest which
would have resulted absent such reductions. In addition to that portion of
the
reductions described in the preceding sentence, Accrued Certificate Interest

to
the related Net Mortgage Rate) of Realized Losses that are allocated solely
to
the Class B Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04.

ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
Section
2.01 Conveyance
of Mortgage Loans.
The
Depositor, as of the Closing Date, and concurrently with the execution and
delivery hereof, does hereby assign, transfer, sell, set over and otherwise
convey to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of
the
Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule
and all other assets included or to be included in the Trust Fund for the
benefit of the Certificateholders. Such assignment includes all principal and
interest received by the Master Servicer on or with respect to the Mortgage
Loans (other than payment of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off
Date).
In
connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor has requested the
Sponsor to deliver to, and deposit with the Trustee, the following documents
or
instruments:
(i) the
original Mortgage Note, endorsed by the Sponsor “Pay to the order of [Name of
Trustee], as trustee without recourse” or to “Pay to the order of [Name of
Trustee], as trustee for holders of Alliance Securities Corp., Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 200_-_, without recourse” with all intervening
endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsements from the originator to
the
Person endorsing it to the Trustee;
(ii) the
original recorded Mortgage or, if the original Mortgage has not been returned
from the applicable public recording office, a copy of the Mortgage certified
by
the Sponsor to be a true and complete copy of the original Mortgage submitted
to
the title insurance company for recording;
(iii) a
duly
executed original Assignment of the Mortgage endorsed by the Sponsor, without
recourse, to “[Name of Trustee], as trustee” or to “[Name of Trustee], as
trustee for holders of Alliance Securities Corp., Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 200_-_”, with evidence of recording thereon;
(iv) the
original recorded Assignment or Assignments of the Mortgage showing a complete
chain of assignment from the originator thereof to the Person assigning it
to
the Trustee or, if any such Assignment has not been returned from the applicable
public recording office, a copy of such Assignment certified by the Sponsor
to
be a true and complete copy of the original Assignment submitted to the title
insurance company for recording;
(v) the
original lender’s title insurance policy, or, if such policy has not been
issued, any one of an original or a copy of the preliminary title report, title
binder or title commitment on the Mortgaged Property with the original policy
of
the insurance to be delivered promptly following the receipt
thereof;
(vi) the
original of any assumption, modification, extension or guaranty
agreement;
(vii) the
original or a copy of the private mortgage insurance policy or original
certificate of private mortgage insurance, if applicable; and
(viii) if
any of
the documents or instruments referred to above were executed on behalf of the
Mortgagor by another Person, the original power of attorney or other instrument
that authorized and empowered such Person to sign, or a copy thereof certified
by the Sponsor (or by an officer of the applicable title insurance or escrow
company) to be a true and correct copy of the original.
The
Sponsor is obligated pursuant to the Sponsor’s Warranty Certificate to deliver
to the Trustee: (a) either the original recorded Mortgage, or in the event
such
original cannot be delivered by the Sponsor, a copy of such Mortgage certified
as true and complete by the appropriate recording office, in those instances
where a copy thereof certified by the Sponsor was delivered to the Trustee
pursuant to clause (ii) above; and (b) either the original Assignment or
Assignments of the Mortgage, with evidence of recording thereon, showing a
complete chain of assignment from the originator to the Sponsor, or in the
event
such original cannot be delivered by the Sponsor, a copy of such Assignment
or
Assignments certified as true and complete by the appropriate recording office,
in those instances where copies thereof certified by the Sponsor were delivered
to the Trustee pursuant to clause (iv) above. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 2.01, in those instances where the public
recording office retains the original Mortgage after it has been recorded,
the
Sponsor shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations hereunder upon
delivery to the Trustee of a copy of such Mortgage certified by the public
recording office to be a true and complete copy of the recorded original
thereof.
If
any
Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded to the Trustee because of any defect
therein, the Sponsor is required to prepare a substitute Assignment or cure
such
defect, as the case may be, and the Trustee shall cause such Assignment to
be
recorded in accordance with this paragraph.
The
Sponsor is required, as described in the Sponsor’s Warranty Certificate, to
deliver to the Trustee the original of any documents assigned to the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 2.01 not later than 120 days after the Closing
Date.
All
original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans which are not delivered to
the
Trustee, to the extent delivered by the Sponsor to the Master Servicer, are
and
shall be held by the Master Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Trustee
on
behalf of the Certificateholders.
Except
as
may otherwise expressly be provided herein, neither the Depositor, the Master
Servicer nor the Trustee shall (and the Master Servicer shall ensure that no
Sub-Servicer shall) assign, sell, dispose of or transfer any interest in the
Trust Fund or any portion thereof, or permit the Trust Fund or any portion
thereof to be subject to any lien, claim, mortgage, security interest, pledge
or
other encumbrance of, any other Person.
It
is
intended that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the
Trustee as provided in this Section be, and be construed as, a sale of the
Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. It is, further, not intended that such conveyance be deemed
a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a
debt
or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that the Mortgage
Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, or if for any reason this
Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans,
then it is intended that, (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a
security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable
jurisdiction; (b) the conveyance provided for in this Section shall be deemed
to
be (1) a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all
of
the Depositor’s right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and
interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the Mortgage
Loans, including the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related insurance
policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage Files, (B) all amounts
payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms
thereof and (C) all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of
the
foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including
without limitation all amounts from time to time held or invested in the
Certificate Account or the Custodial Account, whether in the form of cash,
instruments, securities or other property and (2) an assignment by the Depositor
to the Trustee of any security interest in any and all of the Sponsor’s right
(including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether
now
owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the property described in the foregoing
clauses (1)(A) through (C) granted by [Name of Sponsor] to the Depositor
pursuant to the Assignment Agreement; (c) the possession by the Trustee or
its
agent of Mortgage Notes and such other items of property as constitute
instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to
be
“possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or a person
designated by such secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform
Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction (including, without
limitation, Sections 9-305, 8-313 or 8-321 thereof); and (d) notifications
to
persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries,
bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting
such security interest under applicable law. The Depositor and the Trustee
shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may
be
necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security
interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be
a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will
be
maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement.
Section
2.02 Acceptance
of the Trust Fund by the Trustee.
The
Trustee acknowledges receipt (subject to any exceptions noted in the Initial
Certification described below) of the documents referred to in Section 2.01
above and all other assets included in the Trust Fund and declares that it
holds
and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it
constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will hold such other
assets included in the Trust Fund (to the extent delivered or assigned to the
Trustee), in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders.
The
Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to review each
Mortgage File on or before the Closing Date to ascertain that all documents
required to be delivered to it are in its possession, and the Trustee agrees
to
execute and deliver to the Depositor and the Master Servicer on the Closing
Date
an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C to the effect
that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other
than
any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified
in
such certification as not covered by such certification), (i) all documents
required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such
Mortgage Loan are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed
by
it and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii)
based on its examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information
set forth in items (i) - (vi) and (xiii) of the definition of the “Mortgage Loan
Schedule” accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File.
Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall be under any duty to determine
whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in
clause (vi) of Section 2.01. Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall
be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are
genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they
have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to
be
on their face.
Within
90
days of the Closing Date the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the
Master Servicer a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit
D
evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon.
If
in the
process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and preparing the certifications
referred to above the Trustee finds any document or documents constituting
a
part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any material respect,
the
Trustee shall promptly notify the Sponsor, the Master Servicer and the
Depositor. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Sponsor of such defect and
request that the Sponsor cure any such defect within 60 days from the date
on
which the Sponsor was notified of such defect, and if the Sponsor does not
cure
such defect in all material respects during such period, request that the
Sponsor purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund on behalf of the
Certificateholders at the Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which
the Sponsor was notified of such defect. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Sponsor to cure a material defect in, or purchase any Mortgage
Loan as to which a material defect in a constituent document exists shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The Purchase
Price for the purchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited or caused to be
deposited upon receipt by the Master Servicer in the Custodial Account and,
upon
receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a
Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall release or cause to be released to the
Sponsor the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments
of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Sponsor shall
require as necessary to vest in the Sponsor ownership of any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto and at such time the Trustee shall have no further
responsibility with respect to the related Mortgage File.

materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in
any
Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties.
Section
2.04 Representations
and Warranties of the Sponsor; Repurchase and Substitution.
The
Depositor hereby assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders
its interest in respect of the representations and warranties made by the
Sponsor in the Sponsor’s Warranty Certificate or the exhibits thereto. Insofar
as the Sponsor’s Warranty Certificate relates to such representations and
warranties and any remedies provided thereunder for any breach of such
representations and warranties, such right, title and interest may be enforced
by the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. Upon the discovery by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made in the Sponsor’s Warranty Certificate in
respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering
such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. The Trustee
shall promptly notify the Sponsor of such breach and request that such Sponsor
shall, within 90 days from the date that the Depositor, the Sponsor or the
Trustee was notified of such breach, either (i) cure such breach in all material
respects or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase
Price and in the manner set forth in Section 2.02; provided that in the case
of
such breach, the Sponsor shall have the option to substitute a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for such Mortgage Loan if such substitution
occurs within two years following the Closing Date. Any such substitution must
occur within 90 days from the date the Sponsor was notified of the breach if
such 90 day period expires before two years following the Closing Date. In
the
event that the Sponsor elects to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan
or Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Sponsor
shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the original
Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, an Assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form,
and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01, with
the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.01. No substitution will
be
made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Monthly
Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month
of
substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the
Master Servicer and remitted by the Master Servicer to the Sponsor on the next
succeeding Distribution Date.
For
the
month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the
Monthly Payment due on a Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter
the
Sponsor shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such
Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall amend or cause to be amended the
Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect
the
removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Depositor shall deliver the amended
Mortgage Loan Schedule, to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement in all respects, the Sponsor shall be deemed to have made the
representations and warranties with respect to the Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan contained in the Sponsor’s Warranty Certificate as of the date of
substitution, and the Depositor shall be deemed to have made with respect to
any
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution,
the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.03 hereof, and the Sponsor
shall be obligated to repurchase or substitute for any Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan as to which a repurchase or substitution obligation has occurred
pursuant to Section 3 of the Sponsor’s Warranty Certificate.
In
connection with the substitution of one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine
the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less
than
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (in
each case after application of the principal portion of the Monthly Payments
due
in the month of substitution that are to be distributed to Certificateholders
in
the month of substitution). The Sponsor shall provide the Master Servicer on
the
day of substitution for immediate deposit in to the Custodial Account the amount
of such shortfall, without any reimbursement therefor. The Sponsor shall give
notice in writing to the Trustee of such event, which notice shall be
accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate as to the calculation of such shortfall
and by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not
cause
(a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without
limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section
86OF(a)(1) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date” under
Section 86OG(d)(1) of the Code or (b) any portion of the Trust Fund to fail
to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. The costs
of
any substitution as described above, including any related assignments, opinions
or other documentation in connection therewith shall be borne by the
Sponsor.
Except
as
expressly set forth herein neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer is under
any obligation to discover any breach of the above mentioned representations
and
warranties. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Sponsor
to
cure such breach or to so purchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan as to
which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such breach available to Certificateholders or the Trustee
on
behalf of Certificateholders. In addition, if the first scheduled Monthly
Payment is due during the first month after its closing date (as such term
is
used in the Sponsor’s Warranties Certificate) and such Monthly Payment is not
received by the Master Servicer within 30 days of the due date in accordance
with the terms of the related Mortgage Note, the Master Servicer shall promptly
notify the Sponsor and the Trustee and the Sponsor shall purchase such Mortgage
Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price or substitute a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan therefor within 15 days from the date that the Sponsor
was notified.
Section
2.05 Issuance
of Certificates Evidencing Interests in the Trust Fund.
The
Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans and the delivery
of the Mortgage Files to it together with the assignment to it of all other
assets included in the Trust Fund, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged.
Concurrently with such delivery and in exchange therefor, the Trustee, pursuant
to the written request of the Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor,
has executed and caused to be authenticated, and delivered to or upon the order
of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations which evidence
ownership of the entire Trust Fund.
Section
2.06 Purposes
and Powers of the Trust.
The
purpose of the common law trust, as created hereunder, is to engage in the
following activities:
(i) acquire
and hold the Mortgage Loans and the other assets of the Trust Fund and the
proceeds therefrom;
(ii) to
issue
the Certificates sold to the Depositor in exchange for the Mortgage
Loans;
(iii) to
make
payments on the Certificates;
(iv) to
engage
in those activities that are necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish
the
foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected therewith; and
(v) subject
to compliance with this Agreement, to engage in such other activities as may
be
required in connection with conservation of the Trust Fund and the making of
distributions to the Certificateholders.
The
trust
is hereby authorized to engage in the foregoing activities. The Trustee shall
not cause the trust to engage in any activity other than in connection with
the
foregoing or other than as required or authorized by the terms of this Agreement
while any Certificate is outstanding, and this Section 2.06 may not be amended,
without the consent of the Certificateholders evidencing 51% or more of the
aggregate voting rights of the Certificates.
ARTICLE
III
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING OF THE TRUST FUND
Section
3.01 Master
Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.
The
Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit
of the Certificateholders, in accordance with this Agreement and the customary
and usual standards of practice of prudent institutional mortgage lenders
servicing comparable mortgage loans for their own account in the respective
states in which the Mortgaged Properties are located. Subject to the foregoing,
the Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or
through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done
any
and all things in connection with such servicing and administration that it
may
deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby
authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Master Servicer believes it
appropriate in its best judgment, to (i) execute and deliver, on behalf of
the
Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments
of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and
all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the
Mortgaged Properties, (ii) institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties,
and (iii) hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the
Trustee and Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall service and administer
the 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.
Subject to Section 3.16, the Trustee shall furnish to the Master Servicer and
any Sub-Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or
appropriate to enable the Master Servicer and any Sub- Servicer to carry out
their servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Trustee shall not
be
responsible for any action taken by the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer
pursuant to the application of such powers of attorney. In accordance with
the
standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall advance or
cause
to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment
of
taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be
reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors
pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11. No costs
incurred by the Master Servicer or by Sub- Servicers in effecting the payment
of
taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties shall, for the purpose of
calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing
under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such
Mortgage Loans so permit.
The
Master Servicer shall not (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect
to
the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Master Servicer,
reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment
of
any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (i) 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 (ii)
cause the Trust Fund 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.
The
Master Servicer may approve a request for a partial release of the Mortgaged
Property, easement, consent to alteration or demolition and other similar
matters if it has determined, exercising its good faith business judgement
in
the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan,
that such approval will not adversely affect the security for, or the timely
and
full collectability of, the related Mortgage Loan. Any fee collected by the
Master Servicer for processing such request will be retained by the Master
Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
The
relationship of the Master Servicer (and of any successor to the Master Servicer
under this Agreement) to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the
parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint
venturer, partner or agent.
Section
3.02 Sub-Servicing
Agreements Between Master Servicer and Sub-Servicers.
(a) The
Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub- Servicers
for
the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and for the performance
of any and all other activities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Each
Sub-Servicer shall be either (i) an institution the accounts of which are
insured by the FDIC or (ii) another entity that engages in the business of
originating or servicing mortgage loans, and in either case shall be authorized
to transact business in the state or states in which 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 in either case shall be a FHLMC
or
FNMA approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on
the
Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section
3.08
and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of
this Agreement. With the consent of the Trustee, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, the Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter
into
Sub-Servicing Agreements and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements
or
enter into different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however,
that
any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate
the provisions of this Agreement.
(b) As
part
of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer, for the benefit
of
the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each
Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without
limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments
as
required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement, or to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account
of defective documentation or on account of a breach of a representation or
warranty, as described in Section 2.02. Such enforcement, including, without
limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing
Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such
form
and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer,
in
its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related
Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement
at
its own expense, but shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general
recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such
recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or
(ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the
party against whom such enforcement is directed.
Section
3.03 Successor
Sub-Servicers.
The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement
and
the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing
Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing
obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Master
Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Master
Servicer, and the Master Servicer either shall service directly the related
Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor
Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.
Section
3.04 Liability
of the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding
any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating
to
agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or
reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master
Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and
Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans
in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the
same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer
alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. For purposes of
this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on
Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer has received such payments. The Master
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer
for
indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
Section
3.05 No
Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and Trustee or
Certificateholders.
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity
as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer
and the Master Servicer alone, and the Trustee and Certificateholders shall
not
be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties
or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section
3.06.
Section
3.06 Assumption
or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Trustee.
In
the
event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the master servicer
(including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee or its designee shall
thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under
each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Master Servicer may have entered into,
unless the Trustee is then permitted and elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with its terms. The Trustee, its designee or the
successor servicer for the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the
Master Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a
party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if the Sub-Servicing
Agreements had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Master
Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under
the
Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled
to any rights or benefits which arose prior to its termination as master
servicer.
The
Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver
to
the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced 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.
Section
3.07 Collection
of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
The
Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called
for
under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent
such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and
provisions of any related Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures
as
it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans
and held for its own account. The Master Servicer shall not be required to
institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of any payment
(whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Primary Hazard Insurance Policy,
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or otherwise or against any public or
governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it
reasonably believes that it is prohibited by applicable law from enforcing
the
provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment
is
required. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its
discretion waive any prepayment fees, late payment charge or other charge,
except as otherwise required under applicable law. The Master Servicer shall
be
responsible for preparing and distributing all information statements relating
to payments on the Mortgage Loans, in accordance with all applicable federal
and
state tax laws and regulations.
Section
3.08 Sub-Servicing
Accounts.
In
those
cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a
Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and
maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub-Servicing Account”). The
Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall otherwise be
acceptable to the Master Servicer. All amounts held in a Sub-Servicing Account
shall be held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. The Sub-Servicer will be required to deposit into the
Sub-Servicing Account no later than the first Business Day after receipt all
proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer, less its servicing
compensation and any unreimbursed expenses and advances, to the extent permitted
by the Sub-Servicing Agreement. On each Sub-Servicer Remittance Date the
Sub-Servicer will be required to remit to the Master Servicer for deposit into
the Custodial Account all funds held in the Sub-Servicing Account with respect
to any Mortgage Loan as of the Sub-Servicer Remittance Date, after deducting
from such remittance an amount equal to the servicing compensation and
unreimbursed expenses and advances to which it is then entitled pursuant to
the
related Sub- Servicing Agreement, to the extent not previously paid to or
retained by it. In addition, on each Sub-Servicer Remittance Date the
Sub-Servicer will be required to remit to the Master Servicer any amounts
required to be advanced pursuant to the related Sub-Servicing Agreement. The
Sub-Servicer will also be required to remit to the Master Servicer, within
one
Business Day of receipt, the proceeds of any Principal Prepayment made by the
Mortgagor and any Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds.
Section
3.09 Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts.
The
Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers shall establish and maintain one or more
accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), and shall deposit and retain therein all
collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from Sub- Servicers) for
the payment of taxes, assessments, Primary Hazard Insurance Policy premiums,
and
comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors, to the extent that the
Master Servicer customarily escrows for such amounts. Withdrawals of amounts
so
collected from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of
taxes, assessments, Primary Hazard Insurance Policy premiums and comparable
items; (ii) reimburse the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the extent
provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out of related collections
for
any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.01 (with respect to taxes and
assessments) and 3.13 (with respect to Primary Hazard Insurance Policies);
(iii)
refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; or (iv)
clear
and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 9.01. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer
or Sub-Servicers shall, if and to the extent required by law, pay to the
Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts from its or their own funds,
without any reimbursement therefor.
Section
3.10 Custodial
Account.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively,
the “Custodial Account”) in which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to
be deposited no later than the first Business Day after receipt or as and when
received from the Sub-Servicers, the following payments and collections received
or made by or on behalf of it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by
it
prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto (other
than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before
the Cut-off Date):
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the
Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, not including any portion
thereof representing interest on account of the related Servicing Fee
Rate;
(iii) all
Insurance Proceeds, other than proceeds that represent reimbursement of costs
and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in connection with presenting
claims under the related Insurance Policies, Liquidation Proceeds and REO
Proceeds;
(iv) all
proceeds of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property repurchased or purchased in
accordance with Sections 2.02, 2.04 or 9.01 and all amounts required to be
deposited in connection with the substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan pursuant to Section 2.04;
(v) any
amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section
3.12, 3.13 or 3.22; and
(vi) all
amounts transferred from the Certificate Account to the Custodial Account in
accordance with Sections 4.01(b).
For
purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Cut-off Date with respect
to
any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the date of
substitution.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive.
In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account any
amount not required to be deposited therein, it may withdraw such amount from
the Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
The
Custodial Account shall be maintained as a segregated account, separate and
apart from trust funds created for mortgage pass-through certificates of other
series, and the other accounts of the Master Servicer.
(b) Funds
in
the Custodial Account may be invested in Permitted Instruments in accordance
with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Master Servicer shall give
notice to the Trustee and the Depositor of the location of the Custodial Account
after any change thereof.
(c) Payments
in the nature of late payment charges, prepayment fees, assumption fees and
reconveyance fees received on the Mortgage Loans shall not be deposited in
the
Custodial Account, but rather shall be received and held by the Master Servicer
as additional servicing compensation.
Section
3.11 Permitted
Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.
The
Master Servicer may, from time to time as provided herein, make withdrawals
from
the Custodial Account of amounts on deposit therein pursuant to Section 3.10
that are attributable to the Mortgage Loans for the following
purposes:
(i) to
make
deposits into the Certificate Account in the amounts and in the manner provided
for in Section 4.01, such deposit to include interest collections on the
Mortgage Loans at the Net Mortgage Rate [and net of amounts reimbursed
therefrom];
(ii) to
pay to
itself, the Depositor, the Sponsor or any other appropriate person, as the
case
may be, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased,
repurchased or replaced pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.04 or 9.01 all amounts
received thereon and not yet distributed as of the date of purchase, repurchase
or substitution;
(iii) to
reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for Advances not previously reimbursed,
the
Master Servicer’s or any Sub-Servicer’s right to reimbursement pursuant to this
clause (iii) being limited to amounts received which represent Late Collections
(net of the related Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments on Mortgage Loans with
respect to which such Advances were made and as further provided in Section
3.15;
(iv) to
reimburse or pay itself, the Trustee or the Depositor for expenses incurred
by
or reimbursable to the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Depositor pursuant
to
Sections 3.22, 6.03, 8.05, 10.01(c) or 10.01(g), except as otherwise provided
in
such Sections;
(v) to
reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for costs and expenses incurred by or
reimbursable to it relating to the prosecution of any claims pursuant to Section
3.13 that are in excess of the amounts so recovered;
(vi) to
reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for unpaid Servicing Fees and unreimbursed
Servicing Advances, the Master Servicer’s or any Sub-Servicer’s right to
reimbursement pursuant to this clause (vi) with respect to any Mortgage Loan
being limited to late recoveries of the payments for which such advances were
made pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.09 and any other related Late
Collections;
(vii) to
pay
itself as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee), on or
after
each Distribution Date, any interest or investment income earned on funds
deposited in the Custodial Account for the period ending on such Distribution
Date, subject to Section 8.05;
(viii) to
reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for any Advance previously made which
itself has determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, provided that either
(a)
such Advance was made with respect to a delinquency that ultimately constituted
an Excess Special Hazard Loss, Excess Fraud Loss, Excess Bankruptcy Loss or
Extraordinary Loss, or (b) the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class
B
Certificates have been reduced to zero; and
(ix) to
clear
and terminate the Custodial Account at the termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 9.01.
The
Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting records on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to such clauses (ii), (iii),
(iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii).
In
connection with clause (viii) above, the Trustee shall notify the Master
Servicer if and when the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class B
Certificates have been reduced to zero.
Section
3.12 Permitted
Instruments.
Any
institution maintaining the Custodial Account shall at the direction of the
Master Servicer invest the funds in such account in Permitted Instruments,
each
of which shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding
the
Distribution Date next following the date of such investment (except that if
such Permitted Instrument is an obligation of the institution that maintains
such account, then such Permitted Instrument shall mature not later than such
Distribution Date) and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity.
All income and gain realized from any such investment as well as any interest
earned on deposits in the Custodial Account shall be for the benefit of the
Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account
(with respect to investments made hereunder of funds held therein) an amount
equal to the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such investment
immediately upon realization of such loss without right of
reimbursement.
Section
3.13 Maintenance
of Primary Mortgage Insurance and Primary Hazard Insurance.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Sub-Servicer to take, any action
which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer
or Sub-Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. To the extent coverage
is
available, the Master Servicer shall keep or cause to be kept in full force
and
effect each such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy until the principal balance
of the related Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property is reduced to
75%
or less of the Collateral Value in the case of such a Mortgage Loan having
a
Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80%. The Master Servicer shall
not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, or
consent to any Sub-Servicer canceling or refusing to renew any such Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy applicable to a Mortgage Loan subserviced by it,
that
is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Certificates and is
required to be kept in force hereunder unless the replacement Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is maintained with
a
Qualified Insurer.
(b) In
connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present or to cause the related
Sub-Servicer to present, on behalf of the Master Servicer, the Sub-Servicer,
if
any, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies, in a timely manner in accordance with such
policies, and, in this regard, to take or cause to be taken such reasonable
action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section
3.
10, any Insurance Proceeds collected by or remitted to the Master Servicer
under
any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Custodial
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11.
(c) The
Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan primary
hazard insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in
an
amount equal to the lesser of 100% of the replacement value of the improvements,
as determined by the insurance company, on such Mortgaged Property or the unpaid
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall also cause
to
be maintained on property acquired upon foreclosure, or deed in lieu of
foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan, fire insurance with extended coverage in
an
amount equal to the replacement value of the improvements thereon. Pursuant
to
Section 3.10, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any such
policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of
the
related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to
the
Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer’s normal servicing procedures)
shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant
to
Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such
insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood
and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required
of
any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage 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. When the
improvements securing a Mortgage Loan are located at the time of origination
of
such Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the
Master Servicer shall cause flood insurance (to the extent available) to be
maintained in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal
to the lesser of (i) the replacement value of the improvements, which are part
of such Mortgaged Property on a replacement cost basis 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 the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket fire
insurance policy with extended coverage insuring against hazard losses on all
of
the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its
obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this Section 3.13, it
being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause,
in
which case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have
been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the
first two sentences of this Section 3.13 and there shall have been a loss which
would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Certificate Account
the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. Any such deposit by the Master Servicer shall be made on the Certificate
Account Deposit Date next preceding the Distribution Date which occurs in the
month following the month in which payments under any such policy would have
been deposited in the Custodial Account. In connection with its activities
as
administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees
to
present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under
any such blanket policy.
Section
3.14 Enforcement
of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
The
Master Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or
prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (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 or the Mortgage),
exercise or cause to be exercised its rights to accelerate the maturity of
such
Mortgage Loan under any “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto; provided,
however, that the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if it
reasonably believes that it is prohibited by law from doing so or if such
enforcement will adversely affect or jeopardize required coverage under the
Insurance Instruments. If the Master Servicer is unable to enforce such “due-
on-sale” clause (as provided in the previous sentence) or if no “due-on-sale”
clause is applicable, the Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicer will enter into
an
assumption and modification agreement 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; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer shall not enter into any assumption and modification
agreement if the coverage provided under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any,
would be impaired by doing so. The Master Servicer is also authorized to enter
into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which
the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted
as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, if the Master
Servicer shall have determined in good faith that such substitution will not
adversely affect the collectability of the Mortgage Loan. Any fee collected
by
or on behalf of the Master Servicer for entering into an assumption or
substitution of liability agreement will be retained by or on behalf of the
Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any
such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not
limited to the Mortgage Rate, the amount of the Monthly Payment and any other
term affecting the amount or timing of payment on the Mortgage Loan) may be
changed. The Master Servicer shall not enter into any substitution or assumption
if such substitution or assumption would constitute a “significant modification”
effecting an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under the Code (or
final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and
cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the
imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” after the
Startup Day under the REMIC Provisions. The Master Servicer shall notify the
Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed
by
forwarding to the Trustee the original copy of such substitution or assumption
agreement, which copy 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, the Master
Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation
of
its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by
operation of law or any assumption that the Master Servicer may be restricted
by
law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section
3.14, the term “assumption” is deemed to also include a sale of a Mortgaged
Property that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
Section
3.15 Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The
Master Servicer shall exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the
procedures that the Master Servicer would use in servicing loans for its own
account, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include
an
REO Acquisition) 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 3.07, and which are not released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any
other provision hereof. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to
realize upon such defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize
the
receipt of principal and interest by Certificateholders, taking into account,
among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is
subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall
have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer shall not
be
required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless
it shall determine in (i) that such restoration will increase the net proceeds
of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to Certificateholders after
reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will
be
recoverable by the Master Servicer through Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation
Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 3.11.
The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses
incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be
entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related Mortgaged Property, as
contemplated in Section 3.11.
The
proceeds of any Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition, as well as any recovery
resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation
Proceeds or any income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following
order of priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Sub- Servicer
for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11 (vi)
or 3.22; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan or REO
Imputed Interest, at the Mortgage Rate, to the date of the Cash Liquidation
or
REO Disposition, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which
such
amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Cash Liquidation
or
REO Disposition; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan.
If
the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than a full recovery
thereof, that amount will be allocated as follows: first, on a pro rata basis,
to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to interest at the related Net Mortgage
Rate. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall
be
reimbursed to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section
3.11(vi). The portions of the recovery so allocated to interest at the related
Net Mortgage Rate and to principal of the Mortgage Loan shall be applied as
follows: first, to reimburse the Trustee for any unpaid Trustee’s Fees, second,
to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related
unreimbursed Advances in accordance with Section 3. 1 31 (iii) or 3.22, and
third, for distribution in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01(b)
and
4.01(c).
Section
3.16 Trustee
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer
of a
notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee by a
certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect
that
all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which
are
required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.10
have
been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery
to it of the Mortgage File in the form of the Request for Release attached
hereto as Exhibit F-2. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the
Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer.
Subject to the receipt by the Master Servicer of the proceeds of such payment
in
full and the payment of all related fees and expenses, the Master Servicer
shall
arrange for the release to the Mortgagor of the original cancelled Mortgage
Note. The Master Servicer shall provide for preparation of the appropriate
instrument of satisfaction covering any Mortgage Loan which pays in full and
the
Trustee shall cooperate in the execution and return of such instrument to
provide for its delivery or recording as may be required. All other documents
in
the Mortgage File shall be retained by the Master Servicer to the extent
required by applicable law. No expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the
Custodial Account or the Certificate Account.
From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under the Insurance Instruments
or
any other insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall,
upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of a Request
for
Release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, release the related Mortgage
File to the Master Servicer, and the Trustee shall execute such documents as
the
Master Servicer shall prepare and request as being necessary to the prosecution
of any such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Master
Servicer to return each document previously requested from the Mortgage File
to
the Trustee when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists,
unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds
relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account
or
the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to
a
public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of
initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure
of
the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Master
Servicer has delivered to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer
certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage
File
or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.
Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage
Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the
Custodial Account have been or will be so deposited, or that such Mortgage
Loan
has become an REO Property, the servicing receipt shall be released by the
Trustee to the Master Servicer.
Upon
written request of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver
to
the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other
documents prepared by the Master Servicer that are 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 request that such pleadings or documents be executed
by
the Trustee shall include a certification 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.
Section
3.17 Servicing
Compensation.
As
compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled
to retain, from deposits to the Custodial Account of amounts representing
payments or recoveries of interest, the Servicing Fees with respect to each
Mortgage Loan (less any portion of such amounts retained by any Sub-Servicer).
In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing
Fees out of related Late Collections to the extent permitted in Section
3.11.
The
Master Servicer also shall be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11 to receive
from
the Custodial Account, as additional servicing compensation interest or other
income earned on deposits therein, as well as any prepayment fees, assumption
fees, late payment fees and reconveyance fees. The Master Servicer shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder (including payment of the premiums for any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy or blanket policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant
to
Section 3.13, payment of the servicing compensation of the Sub-Servicer to
the
extent not retained by it), and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor
except as specifically pro vided in Section 3.11. The Servicing Fee may not
be
transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all
of
the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this
Agreement.
Section
3.18 Maintenance
of Certain Servicing Policies.
During
the term of its service as Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall maintain
in force (i) a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions
in
the performance of its obligations as servicer hereunder and (ii) a fidelity
bond in respect of its officers, employees or agents. Each such policy or
policies and bond shall, together, comply with the requirements from time to
time of FNMA or FHLMC for persons performing servicing for mortgage loans
purchased by such corporation. The Master Servicer shall prepare and present,
on
behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such
errors and omissions policy or policies or fidelity bond in a timely fashion
in
accordance with the terms of such policy or bond, and upon the filing of any
claim on any policy or bond described in this Section, the Master Servicer
shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any such claims and the Trustee shall notify
the
Rating Agency of such claim.
Section
3.19 Annual
Statement as to Compliance.
The
Master Servicer and each Sub-Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer,
the
Depositor and the Trustee, not later than March 1st of each calendar year
beginning in 2007, an Officer’s Certificate (an “Annual Statement of
Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Master Servicer or the related Sub-Servicer (as the case
may
be) during the preceding calendar year and of its performance under this
Agreement or other applicable servicing agreement (including, but not limited
to
the related Servicing Agreement) has been made under such officer’s supervision
and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the
Master Servicer or the related Sub-Servicer (as the case may be) has fulfilled
all of its obligations under this Agreement or other applicable servicing
agreement (including, but not limited to the related Servicing Agreement) in
all
material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a failure to
fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such
failure known to such officer and the nature and status of cure provisions
thereof. Such Annual Statement of Compliance shall contain no restrictions
or
limitations on its use. In the event that the Master Servicer or the related
Servicer (as the case may be) has delegated any servicing responsibilities
with
respect to the Mortgage Loans to a Sub-Servicer, the Master Servicer or the
related Servicer (as the case may be)shall deliver a similar Annual Statement
of
Compliance by that subservicer to the Trustee as described above as and when
required with respect to the Master Servicer or the related Sub-Servicer (as
the
case may be).
If
the
Master Servicer or the related Sub-Servicer (as the case may be) cannot deliver
the related Annual Statement of Compliance by March 1st of such year, the
Trustee, at its sole option, may permit a cure period for the Master Servicer
or
the related Sub-Servicer (as the case may be) to deliver such Annual Statement
of Compliance, but in no event later than March 10th of such year.
Failure
of the Master Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.19 shall be deemed
an Event of Default, and the Trustee may, in addition to whatever rights the
Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages,
including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately
terminate all the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without
compensating the Master Servicer for the same. This paragraph shall supercede
any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the
contrary.
Section
3.20 Assessments
of Compliance and Attestation Reports.
On
and
after January 1, 2006, the Master Servicer shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Servicing
Criteria. Pursuant to Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item
1122
of Regulation AB, the Master Servicer and the Custodian (the “Attesting Party”)
shall deliver to theTrustee on or before March 1 of each calendar year beginning
in 2007, a report regarding the Master Servicer’s assessment of compliance (an
“Assessment of Compliance”) with the Servicing Criteria during the preceding
calendar year. The Assessment of Compliance, as set forth in Regulation AB,
must
contain the following:
(a) A
statement by such officer of its responsibility for assessing compliance with
the Servicing Criteria applicable to the related Attesting Party;
(b) A
statement by such officer that such Attesting Party used the Servicing Criteria
attached as Exhibit K hereto, and which will also be attached to the Assement
of
Compliance, to assess compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to
the
related Attesting Party;
(c) An
assessment by such officer of the related Attesting Party’s compliance with the
applicable Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding
calendar year, including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance
with respect thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on
the
activities such Attesting Party performs with respect to asset-backed securities
transactions taken as a whole involving the Master Servicer, that are backed
by
the same asset type as the Mortgage Loans;
(d) A
statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation
report on the related Attesting Party’s Assessment of Compliance for the period
consisting of the preceding calendar year; and
(e) A
statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable
to
such Attesting Party, which statement shall be based on the activities such
Attesting Party performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions
taken as a whole involving such Attesting Party, that are backed by the same
asset type as the Mortgage Loans.
Such
report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified
on
Exhibit K hereto which are indicated as applicable to the related Attesting
Party.
On
or
before March 1st of each calendar year beginning in 2007, each Attesting Party
shall furnish to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee a report
(an
“Attestation Report”) by a registered public accounting firm that attests to,
and reports on, the Assessment of Compliance made by the Company, as required
by
Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation
AB,
which Attestation Report must be made in accordance with standards for
attestation reports issued or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board.
The
Master Servicer shall cause any subservicer, and each subcontractor determined
by the Master Servicer to be “participating in the servicing function” within
the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Trustee and the
Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when
provided above.
Such
Assessment of Compliance, as to any subservicer, shall at a minimum address
each
of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit K hereto which are indicated
as
applicable to any “primary servicer.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any
subcontractor (as defined in the related servicing agreement), an Assessment
of
Compliance is not required to be delivered unless it is required as part of
a
Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund.
If
the
Master Servicer cannot deliver any Assessment of Compliance or Attestation
Report by March 1st of such year, the Trustee, at its sole option, may permit
a
cure period for the Master Servicer to deliver such Assessment of Compliance
or
Attestation Report, but in no event later than March 10th of such
year.
Failure
of the Master Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.20 shall be deemed
an Event of Default, and the Trustee may, in addition to whatever rights the
Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages,
including injunctive relief and specific performance, upon notice immediately
terminate all the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without
compensating the Master Servicer for the same. This paragraph shall supercede
any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the
contrary.
The
Trustee shall also provide an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report,
as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each of the
Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit K hereto which are indicated as
applicable to the “trustee.” In addition, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian
to deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor an Assessment of Compliance and
Attestation Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address
each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit K hereto which are indicated
as applicable to a “custodian.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any
Custodian, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered unless
it
is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund.
Each
Attesting Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and each of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any
and
all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out
of or
based upon (a) any breach by such Attesting Party of any if its obligations
under hereunder, including particularly its obligations to provide any
Assessment of Compliance, Attestation Report, Compliance Statement or any
information, data or materials required to be included in any Echange Act
Report, (b) any misstatement or omission in any information, data or materials
provided by such Attesting Party, or (c) the negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of such Attesting Party in connection with its performance hereunder.
If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to
hold harmless the Trustee, then each Attesting Party agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Trustee as a result of any
claims, losses, damages or liabilities incurred by the Trustee in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Trustee on
the
one hand and such Attesting Party on the other. This indemnification shall
survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of any party to
this Agreement.
Section
3.21 Books
and Records.
The
Master Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a
complete set of books and records for the Mortgage Loans which shall be
appropriately identified in the Master Servicer’s computer system to clearly
reflect the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by the Trust. In particular, the
Master Servicer shall maintain in its possession, available for inspection
by
the Trustee and shall deliver to the Trustee upon demand, evidence of compliance
with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations. To the extent
that original documents are not required for purposes of realization of
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, documents maintained by the Master
Servicer may be in the form of microfilm or microfiche or such other reliable
means of recreating original documents, including, but not limited to, optical
imagery techniques so long as the Master Servicer complies with the requirements
of Accepted Servicing Practices.
The
Master Servicer shall maintain with respect to each Mortgage Loan and shall
make
available for inspection by the Trustee the related servicing file during the
time such Mortgage Loan is subject to this Agreement and thereafter in
accordance with applicable law.
Payments
on the Mortgage Loans, including any payoffs, made in accordance with the
related Mortgage File will be entered in the Master Servicer’s set of books and
records no more than two business days after receipt and identification, and
allocated to principal or interest as specified in the related Mortgage
File.
Section
3.22 Reports

to be provided or filed with such Current Report and required to be provided
to
the Trustee as described in clause (a)(iv) below.
Prior
to
January 30 in each year commencing in 2007, the Trustee shall, in accordance
with industry standards, file a Form 15 Suspension Notice with respect to the
Trust Fund, if applicable. Prior to (x) March 15, 2007 and (y) unless and until
a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall have been filed, prior to March 15 of each
year thereafter, the Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee with an Annual
Compliance Statement, together with a copy of the Assessment of Compliance
and
Attestation Report to be delivered by each Attesting Party (including without
limitation the Master Servicer) pursuant to Sections 3.19 and 3.20 (including

Prior to (x) March 31, 2007 and (y) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice
shall have been filed, March 31 of each year thereafter, the Trustee shall,
subject to subsection (d) below, file a Form 10-K, in substance conforming
to
industry standards, with respect to the Trust Fund. Such Form 10-K shall include
the Assessment of Compliance, Attestation Report, Annual Compliance Statements
and other documentation provided by each Attesting Party (including without
limitation the Master Servicer) pursuant to Sections 3.19 and 3.20 (including
with respect to any subservicer or subcontractor, if required to be filed)
and
with respect to the Trustee and the Custodian, and the Form 10-K certification
signed by the Master Servicer; provided that the Trustee shall have received
no
later than March 15 of each calendar year prior to the filing deadline for
the
Form 10-K all information, data and exhibits required to be provided or filed
with such Form 10-K and required to be provided to the Trustee as described
in
clause (a)(iv) below.
As
to
each item of information required to be included in any Form 10-D, Form 8-K
or
Form 10-K relating to the Trust Fund, the related Attesting Party’s obligation
to include the information in the applicable report is subject to receipt from
the entity that is indicated in Exhibit L as the responsible party for providing
that information, if other than the Trustee, as and when required as described
above. Each of the Master Servicer, Sponsor and Depositor hereby agree to notify
and provide to the Trustee all information that is required to be included
in
any Form 10-D, Form 8-K or Form 10-K relating to the Trust Fund, with respect
to
which the related Attesting Party is indicated in Exhibit L as the responsible
party for providing that information. The Swap Provider will be obligated
pursuant to the Swap Agreement to provide to the Trustee any information that
may be required to be included in any Form 10-D, Form 8-K or Form 10-K. The
Trustee shall be responsible for determining the significance percentage (as
defined in Item 1115 of Regulation AB) of the Swap Provider at any time. The
Master Servicer shall be responsible for determining the pool concentration
applicable to any subservicer or originator at any time, for purposes of
disclosure as required by Items 1117 and 1119 of Regulation AB.
The
Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Trustee, 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 Trustee reasonably
deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission.
The Trustee shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those
specified in this Section 3.22; provided, however, the Trustee will cooperate
with the Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to
the
Trust Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Securities Exchange Act
of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Copies of all reports filed by the
Trustee under the Exchange Act shall be sent to: the Depositor c/o [_________].
Fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with this Section 3.22
shall not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.
In
connection with the filing of any 10-K hereunder, the Trustee shall sign a
certification (a “Form of Back-Up Certification for Form 10-K Certificate,”
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K) for the Depositor
regarding certain aspects of the Form 10-K certification signed by the
Depositor, provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to
undertake an analysis of any accountant’s report attached as an exhibit to the
Form 10-K.
The
Depositor agrees to furnish promptly to the Trustee, from time to time upon
request, such additional information, data, reports, documents, and financial
statements within the Depositor’s possession or control as the Trustee
reasonably requests as necessary or appropriate to prepare and file the
foregoing reports. The Trustee shall make available to the Depositor copies
of
all Exchange Act Reports filed hereunder.
Other
than the Exchange Act Reports specified above, the Trustee shall have no
responsibility to file any items or reports with the SEC under the 1934 Act
or
otherwise; provided, however, the Trustee will cooperate with the Depositor
in
connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust as the
Depositor deems necessary under the 1934 Act.
The
Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers,
directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the
Trustee’s obligations under this Section 3.22 or the Trustee’s negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
[The
Sponsor shall pay all costs and expenses of the Trustee related to the
preparation and filing of any Current Report on Form 8-K, any Distribution
Report on Form 10-D (other than the costs and expense of the Trustee associated
with the preparation and filing of the Statement to Certificateholders), or
any
amendment to any Exchange Act Report. Except as otherwise provided herein,
all
expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with its preparation and filing
of Exchange Act Report s hereunder shall not be reimbursable from the
Trust.][Bear and EMC to discuss]
Any
party
that signs any Exchange Act Report that the Trustee is required to file shall
provide to the Trustee prompt notice of the execution of such Exchange Act
Report along with the name and contact information for the person signing such
report and shall promptly deliver to the Trustee the original executed signature
page for such report. In addition, each of the parties agrees to provide to
the
Trustee such additional information related to such party as the Trustee may
reasonably request, including evidence of the authorization of the person
signing any certification or statement, financial information and reports,
and
such other information related to such party or its performance
hereunder.
The
Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and its officers,
directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the
obligations of the Depositor under this Section 3.16 or the Depositor’s
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith.
The
Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the Depositor
and their respective officers, directors and affiliates from and against any
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out
of or
based upon a breach of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Section
3.22 or the Master Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in
connection therewith.
[The
Trustee shall not be responsible or liable in any respect for any failure to
file timely any Exchange Act Report in respect of the Trust or for any
incomplete or deficient filing of any Exchange Act Report in respect of the
Trust resulting from any failure of the Depositor, any Servicer or any other
transaction party to comply fully and timely with any of its obligations to
provide any information or data to the Trustee. In addition, if the Trustee
determines, in its reasonable judgment, that any Exchange Act Report proposed
to
be filed in respect of the Trust contains any material misstatement or omission,
the Trustee shall thenceforth be relieved of any and all obligations hereunder
to provide any certification in respect of the Trust (including, particularly,
the certification specified in Item 601(b)(31)(ii) of Regulation S-K) or to
execute and file any Exchange Act Report in respect of the Trust.]
If
the
indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless the Depositor or the Trustee, as applicable, then the defaulting party,
in connection with a breach of its respective obligations under this Section
3.22 or its respective negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith, agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
the
other parties as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of
the
other party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
and the relative benefit of the Depositor on the one hand and the Trustee on
the
other.
Nothing
shall be construed from the foregoing subsections (a), (b) and (c) to require
the Trustee or any officer, director or Affiliate thereof to sign any Form
10-K
or any certification contained therein. Furthermore, the inability of the
Trustee to file a Form 10-K as a result of the lack of required information
as
set forth in Section 3.22(a) or required signatures on such Form 10-K or any
certification contained therein shall not be regarded as a breach by the Trustee
of any obligation under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 11.01, this Section 3.22 may be amended without the
consent of the Certificateholders.
Section
3.23 Intention
of the Parties and Interpretation.
Each
of
the parties acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Sections 3.19, 3.20
and
3.22 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Sponsor and the

agrees that (a) the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted
in
such a manner as to accomplish that purpose, (b) the parties’ obligations

AB.
Section
3.24 Access
to Certain Documentation.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall provide to the OTS, the FDIC and other federal banking
regulatory agencies, and their respective examiners, access to the documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the OTS,
the
FDIC and such other agencies. Such access shall be afforded without charge,
but
only upon reasonable and prior written request and during normal business hours
at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. Nothing in this Section
shall derogate from the obligation of the Master Servicer to observe any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors
and the failure of the Master Servicer to provide access as provided in this
Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this
section.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall afford the Depositor and the Trustee, upon reasonable
notice, during normal business hours access to all records maintained by the
Master Servicer in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access
to
officers of the Master Servicer responsible for such obligations. Upon request,
the Master Servicer shall furnish the Depositor and the Trustee with its most
recent financial statements and such other information as the Master Servicer
possesses regarding its business, affairs, property and condition, financial
or
otherwise to the extent related to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans. The
Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master
Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a
designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer hereunder
or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the
Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder 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 and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section
3.25 Title,
Conservation and Disposition of REO Property.
This
Section shall apply only to REO Properties acquired for the account of the
Trust
Fund, and shall not apply to any REO Property relating to a Mortgage Loan which
was purchased or repurchased from the Trust Fund pursuant to any provision
hereof. In the event that title to any such REO Property is acquired, the deed
or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on
behalf of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trust
Fund, shall either sell any REO Property within two years after the Trust Fund
acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 86OG(a)(8)
of
the Code or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, request an extension of the
two-year grace period, more than 60 days before the day on which the two-year
grace period would otherwise expire, unless the Master Servicer has delivered
to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Master
Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property
subsequent to two years after its acquisition will not result in the imposition
on the Trust Fund of taxes on “prohibited transactions” thereof, as defined in
Section 86OF of the Code, or cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC
under federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master
Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for
the
Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale
in
a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
“foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 86OG(a)(8) or result in the
receipt by the Trust Fund of any “income from non- permitted assets” within the
meaning of Section 86OF(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure
property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. Pursuant to
its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall either itself
or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer protect and conserve such
REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the
locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its
conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, rent
the
same, or any part thereof, as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best
interest of the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such
REO
Property.
The
Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in
connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its
own funds and general assets. The Master Servicer shall deposit, or cause to
be
deposited, on a daily basis in the Custodial Account all revenues received
with
respect to the REO Properties, net of any directly related expenses incurred
or
withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and
maintenance of the REO Property.
If
as of
the date of acquisition of title to any REO Property there remain outstanding
unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to such REO Property or any
outstanding Advances allocated thereto the Master Servicer, upon an REO
Disposition, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and any unreimbursed related Advances as well as any unpaid
Servicing Fees from proceeds received in connection with the REO Disposition,
as
further provided in Section 3.15.
Subject
to the first paragraph of this Section 3.25, the REO Disposition shall be
carried out by the Master Servicer at such price and upon such terms and
conditions as it shall determine to be in the best economic interest of the
Trust Fund.
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).
The
Master Servicer shall deposit the proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of
any
payment to it as provided above, in the Custodial Account upon receipt thereof
for distribution in accordance with Section 4.01, including any such net
proceeds which are in excess of the applicable Stated Principal Balance plus
all
unpaid REO Imputed Interest thereon through the date of the REO
Disposition.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.25, with respect to any Mortgage
Loan
as to which the Master Servicer has received notice of, or has actual knowledge
of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the Mortgaged Property,
the Master Servicer shall promptly request the Trustee and the Depositor to
provide directions and instructions with respect to such Mortgage Loan and
shall
act in accordance with any such directions and instructions jointly provided
by
the Trustee and the Depositor. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence of this
Section 3.25, with respect to any Mortgage Loan described by such sentence,
the
Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title
to
the related Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, the related Mortgaged
Property, unless (i) the Depositor and the Trustee jointly direct the Master
Servicer to take such action and (ii) either (A) the Master Servicer has, at
least 30 days prior to taking such action, obtained and delivered to the
Depositor an environmental audit report prepared by a Person who regularly
conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards or (B) the
Depositor has directed the Master Servicer not to obtain an environmental audit
report. If the Trustee and the Depositor have not jointly provided directions
and instructions to the Master Servicer in connection with any such Mortgage
Loan within 30 days of a request by the Master Servicer for such directions
and
instructions, then the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to
be
in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund (other than proceeding against
the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized at such time as it deems
appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related
Mortgage.
The
cost
of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.25 shall be
advanced by the Master Servicer as an expense of the Trust Fund, and the Master
Servicer shall be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided
in
Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
the
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Custodial Account.
If
the
Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any
such Mortgaged Property in compliance with applicable environmental laws, or
to
take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Master Servicer shall
take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust
Fund. The cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation
shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as an expense of the Trust Fund, and
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the
Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement
being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in
the
Custodial Account.
Section
3.26 Additional
Obligations of the Master Servicer.
On
each
Certificate Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account from its own funds and without
any right of reimbursement therefor, a total amount equal to the aggregate
of
the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for such Distribution Date; provided that
the
Master Servicer’s obligations under this subsection on any Distribution Date
shall not be more than the total amount of its master servicing compensation
payable in such month.
Section
3.27 Additional
Obligations of the Depositor.
The
Depositor agrees that on or prior to the tenth day after the Closing Date,
the
Depositor shall provide the Trustee with a written notification, substantially
in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto, relating to each Class of
Certificates, setting forth (i) in the case of each Class of such Certificates,
(a) if less than 10% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of such
Class of Certificates has been sold as of such date, the value calculated
pursuant to clause (b)(iii) of Exhibit J hereto, or, (b) if 10% or more of
such
Class of Certificates has been sold as of such date but no single price is
paid
for at least 10% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of such Class
of
Certificates, then the weighted average price at which the Certificates of
such
Class were sold and the aggregate percentage of Certificates of such Class
sold,
(c) the first single price at which at least 10% of the aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of such class of Certificates was sold or, (d) if any
Certificates of each Class of Certificates are retained by the Depositor or
an
affiliated corporation, or are delivered to the Sponsor, the fair market value
of such Certificates as of the Closing Date, (ii) the prepayment assumption
used
in pricing the Certificates, and (iii) such other information as to matters
of
fact as the Trustee may reasonably request to enable it to comply with its
reporting requirements with respect to each Class of such Certificates to the
extent such information can in the good faith judgment of the Depositor be
determined by it.

credit-granting, underwriting, origination, acquisition or Mortgage Loan
selection criteria or procedures, as applicable, used to originate, acquire
or
select Mortgage Loans for the Trust Fund and (xxv) above may be omitted. The
Depositor agrees with the Trustee that there will be no new issuance of
securities backed by the same asset pool, so the Trustee will only be
responsible in (xxiv) above for reporting any pool asset changes, such as
additions or removals of Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund.
In
the
case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses (i) and (ii) above, the
amounts shall also be expressed as a dollar amount per Single Certificate.

calendar year was a Holder of a Certificate, a statement containing the
information set forth in subclauses (i) and (ii) above, aggregated for such
calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a
Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been
satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be
provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code and regulations
thereunder as from time to time are in force.
Section
4.03 Remittance
Reports; Advances by the Master Servicer.
(a) By
11:00
A.M. New York time the Business Day following each Determination Date, the
Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a report, prepared as of the close
of business on the Determination Date (the “Determination Date Report”), by
telecopy or in a mutually agreeable electronic format. The Determination Date
Report and any written information supplemental thereto shall include such
information with respect to the Mortgage Loans that is reasonably available
to
the Master Servicer and that is required by the Trustee for purposes of making
the calculations referred to in the following paragraph, as set forth in written
specifications or guidelines issued by the Trustee from time to time. Not later
than 2:00 P.M. New York time on the Certificate Account Deposit Date, the
Trustee shall furnish by telecopy to the Master Servicer a statement (the
information in such statement to be made available to Certificateholders or
the
Depositor by the Master Servicer on request) setting forth (i) the Available
Distribution Amount, (ii) the amounts required to be withdrawn from the
Custodial Account and deposited into the Certificate Account on the immediately
succeeding Certificate Account Deposit Date pursuant to clause (iii) of Section
4.01 (a); and (iii) such other information with respect to the Mortgage Loans
as
the Trustee may reasonably require to perform the calculations necessary to
make
the distributions contemplated by Section 4.01 and to prepare the statements
to
Certificateholders contemplated by Section 4.02. The determination by the
Trustee of such amounts shall, in the absence of obvious error, be presumptively
deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder.
(b) Not
later
than 2:00 P.M. New York time on the Certificate Account Deposit Date, the
Trustee shall notify the Master Servicer of the aggregate amount of Advances
required to be made for the related Distribution Date, which shall be the
aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof
adjusted to be net of the related Servicing Fee Rate), less the amount of any
related Debt Service Reductions or reductions in the amount of interest
collectable from the Mortgagor pursuant to the Relief Act, on the Outstanding
Mortgage Loans as of the related Due Date, which Monthly Payments were
delinquent as of the close of business as of the related Determination Date,
provided that following the reduction of the Certificate Principal Balances
of
the Class B Certificates to zero no Advance shall be made if it would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. On or before 3:00 P.M. New York time on each Certificate
Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall either (i) deposit in the
Certificate Account from its own funds, or funds received therefor from the
Sub-Servicers, an amount equal to the Advances to be made by the Master Servicer
in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii) withdraw from amounts on
deposit in the Custodial Account and deposit in the Certificate Account all
or a
portion of the amounts held for future distribution in discharge of any such
Advance, or (iii) make advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii)
aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any portion of the amounts held for
future distribution so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit
in the Custodial Account on or before 12: 00 P.M. New York time on any future
Certificate Account Deposit Date to the extent that funds attributable to the
Mortgage Loans that are available in the Custodial Account for deposit in the
Certificate Account on such Certificate Account Deposit Date shall be less
than
payments to Certificateholders required to be made on the following Distribution
Date. The amount of any reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(iii) in
respect of outstanding Advances on any Distribution Date shall be allocated
to
specific Monthly Payments due but delinquent for previous Due Periods, which
allocation shall be made, to the extent practicable, to Monthly Payments which
have been delinquent for the longest period of time. Such allocations shall
be
conclusive for purposes of reimbursement to the Master Servicer from recoveries
on the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.11. The determination by the Master
Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance,
if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by a
certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Sponsor and the Trustee.
The
Trustee shall deposit all funds it receives pursuant to this Section 4.03 into
the Certificate Account.
(c) In
the
event that the Master Servicer determines on the Certificate Account Deposit
Date that it will be unable to deposit in the Certificate Account an amount
equal to the Advance required to be made for the immediately succeeding
Distribution Date in the amount determined by the Trustee pursuant to paragraph
(b) above, it shall give notice to the Trustee of its inability to advance
(such
notice may be given by telecopy), not later than 3:00 P.M., New York time,
on
such Business Day, specifying the portion of such amount that it will be unable
to deposit. If the Master Servicer shall have determined that it is not
obligated to make the entire Advance because all or a lesser portion of such
Advance would not be recoverable from Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds
or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee for
the
benefit of the Certificateholders an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the
reasons for the Master Servicer’s determination. Not later than 5:00 P.M., New
York time, on the Certificate Account Deposit Date, unless by such time the
Master Servicer shall have directly or indirectly deposited in the Certificate
Account the entire amount of the Advances required to be made for the related
Distribution Date, pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall (a) terminate
all
of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement in
accordance with Section 7.01 and (b) assume the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to deposit in the
Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance for the immediately
succeeding Distribution Date.
Section
4.04 Allocation
of Realized Losses.
(a) Prior
to
each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the total amount
of
Realized Losses, if any, that resulted from any Cash Liquidation, Debt Service
Reduction, Deficient Valuation or REO Disposition that occurred during the
related Prepayment Period. The amount of each Realized Loss shall be evidenced
by an Officers’ Certificate by the Master Servicer. Realized Losses shall be
allocated among the various Classes of Certificates as determined by the Trustee
in accordance with the following provisions. All Realized Losses, other than
Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses, Excess Fraud Losses
or
Extraordinary Losses shall be allocated as follows: first, to the Class B
Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to
zero; and second, among all the Class A Certificates as described below. Any
Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses, Excess Fraud Losses
and
Extraordinary Losses on Mortgage Loans will be allocated among the Class A
and
Class B Certificates on a pro rata basis, as described below. 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, without
priority among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of
Certificates on the basis of the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances
thereof in the case of the principal portion of a Realized Loss or based on
the
Accrued Certificate Interest thereon in the case of an interest portion of
a
Realized Loss. Allocations of Realized Losses which are Default Losses to the
Class A Certificates will be made on a pro rata basis, based on their then
outstanding Certificate Principal Balances, or the Accrued Certificate Interest
thereon, as applicable, between the Class X- 0, Class A-5 and Class A-6
Certificates, on the one hand, and the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and
Variable Strip Certificates, on the other. Any such Realized Losses so allocated
to the Class A-1, Class A-5 and Class A-6 Certificates will be allocated first
to the Class A-6 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
or
the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon, as appropriate, is reduced to zero
and
then to the Class A-1 and Class A-5 Certificates on a pro rata basis. Any
allocation of the principal portion of Realized Losses (other than Debt Service
Reductions) to a Class A Certificate shall be made by reducing the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated, which allocation shall
be
deemed to have occurred at the close of business on such Distribution Date.
Any
allocation of the principal portion of Realized Losses (other than Debt Service
Reductions) to the Class B Certificates, shall be made by operation of the
definition of “Certificate Principal Balance” and by operation of the provisions
of Section 4.01(b). Allocations of the interest portions of Realized Losses
shall be made by operation of the definition of “Accrued Certificate Interest”
and by operation of the provisions of Section 4.01(b) or 4.01(d), as applicable.
Allocations of the principal portion of Debt Service Reductions shall be made
by
operation of the provisions of Section 4.01(b) or 4.01(d), as applicable. All
Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates under
this Section 4.04 will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in
proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
Section
4.05 Information
Reports to be Filed by the Master Servicer.
The
Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicers shall file the information returns with
respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business,
reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and the
information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect
to any Mortgaged Property required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the
Code, respectively, and deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating
that such reports have been filed. 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
4.06 Compliance
with Withholding Requirements.
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall comply with all federal
withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest
or original issue discount on the Mortgage Loans, and payments of interest
or
discount on amounts invested by the Trustee as agent for Certificateholders
pursuant to an election made under Section 4.01 hereof, 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
Trustee withholds any amount from interest or original issue discount payments
or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding
requirements, the Trustee shall, together with its monthly report to such
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, indicate such amount
withheld.

THE
CERTIFICATES
Section
5.01 The
Certificates.
The
Certificates will be substantially in the respective forms annexed hereto as
Exhibits X-0, X-0 and B. The Certificates will be issuable in registered form
only. The Class A Certificates, other than the Class A-5 and Class A-7
Certificates, shall be issuable in minimum dollar denominations of $1,000 and
integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, except that one Certificate of
each
Class of Class A Certificates may be issued in an amount such that the
denomination of such Certificate and the aggregate denomination of all other
outstanding Certificates of such Class together equal the aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of such Class. The Class B Certificates shall be issuable
in
minimum dollar denominations of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess
thereof, except that one Certificate of such Class may be issued in an amount
such that the denomination of such Certificate and the aggregate denomination
of
all other outstanding Certificates of such Class together equal the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class. The Class A-5 and Class A-7
Certificates shall be issuable in minimum Notional Amounts of $1,000 and
integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, except that one Certificate of
each
such Class may be issued in an amount such that the denomination of such
Certificate and the aggregate denomination of all other outstanding Certificates
of such Class together equal the aggregate Notional Amount of such Class. The
Class R Certificates will each be issuable in minimum denominations of any
Percentage Interest representing 20% and integral multiples of 0.01% in excess
thereof, provided, however, that one Class R Certificate may be issued to the
“tax matters person” pursuant to Article X, in a minimum denomination
representing a Percentage Interest of not less than 0.01%.
Upon
original issue, the Certificates shall, upon the written request of the
Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor, be executed and delivered
by
the Trustee, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered to or upon the order
of
the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents specified in Section
2.01. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of the Trustee in its capacity as trustee hereunder by a Responsible
Officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals
who were at any time the proper officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee,
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 for herein executed by the Trustee by manual
signature, and such certificate upon any Certificate shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates issued on the Closing
Date shall be dated the Closing Date and any Certificates delivered thereafter
shall be dated the date of their authentication.
Section
5.02 Registration
of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
The
Trustee shall maintain a Certificate Register in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the
registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates
as
herein provided.
No
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Class B or a Class R
Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other
disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and any applicable state securities laws or is
made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that a transfer of
a
Class B or Class R Certificate is to be made (i) the Depositor may direct the
Trustee to require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer
shall
be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the
basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act
and
laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the
Depositor or the Master Servicer, provided that such Opinion of Counsel will
not
be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate
by
the Depositor or any affiliate thereof, to a non-affiliate of the Depositor
and
(ii) the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute a representation
letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 hereto, and the Trustee shall
require the transferor to execute a representation letter, substantially in
the
form of Exhibit G-2 hereto, each acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee certifying to the Depositor and
the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which representation letters
shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer.
Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is
not
made in accordance with such applicable federal and state laws.
The
Trustee shall require a written Opinion of Counsel from a prospective transferee
prior to the transfer of any Class B or Class R Certificate to any employee
benefit plan or other retirement arrangement, including individual retirement
accounts and Xxxxx plans, that is subject to Section 406 of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or Section 4975 of
the Code (any of the foregoing, a “Plan”), to a trustee or other Person acting
on behalf of any Plan, or to any other person who is using “plan assets” of any
Plan to effect such acquisition (including any insurance company using funds
in
its general or separate accounts that may constitute “plan assets”). Such
Opinion of Counsel must establish to the satisfaction of the Depositor and
the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such disposition will not violate
the
prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975
of
the Code. Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee will be
required to obtain such Opinion of Counsel on behalf of any prospective
transferee. In the case of any transfer of the foregoing Certificates to an
insurance company, in lieu of such Opinion of Counsel, the Trustee shall require
a certification in the form of Exhibit G-5 hereto substantially to the effect
that all funds used by such transferee to purchase such Certificates will be
funds held by it in its general account which it reasonably believes do not
constitute “plan assets” of any Plan (as defined above). The permission of any
transfer in violation of the restriction on transfer set forth in this paragraph
shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default.
(i) Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R 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 Trustee 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 Class R
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any
change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(B) In
connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class
R
Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery to it, and shall not register
the transfer of any Class R Certificate until its receipt of (1) an affidavit
and agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement” in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit G-3) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Master Servicer and the Trustee representing and warranting, among other
things, that it is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate that is the subject of the
proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not
a
Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest
in a
Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and
that
it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02 and agrees to be bound
by
them, and (11) a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-4, from
the Holder wishing to transfer the Class R Certificate, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Master Servicer and the Trustee representing and warranting,
among other things, that no purpose of the proposed Transfer is to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding
the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee
under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to
this
transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted
Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to
such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R 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
Class R Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it
provides a certificate to the Trustee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
G-4.
(E) Each
Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate,
by
purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee
written notice that it is a “pass- through interest holder” within the meaning
of Temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon
acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, if it is “a
pass-through interest holder”, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate on behalf of a “pass-through interest holder.”
(ii) The
Trustee will register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate only if it shall
have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit G-3, a certificate of the holder requesting such transfer in the
form
attached hereto as Exhibit G-4 and all of such other documents as shall have
been reasonably required by the Trustee as a condition to such registration.
Transfers of the Class R Certificates to Non-United States Persons and
Disqualified Organizations are prohibited.
(iii) (a)
if
any Disqualified Organization shall become a holder of a Class R Certificate,
then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent
permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as holder thereof retroactive
to
the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. If a
Non-United States Person shall become a holder of a Class R Certificate, then
the last preceding United States Person shall be restored, to the extent
permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as holder thereof retroactive
to
the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. If a
transfer of a Class R Certificate is disregarded pursuant to the provisions
of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.86OG-3, then the last
preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by
law, to all rights and obligations as holder thereof retroactive to the date
of
registration of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. The Trustee shall
be
under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class
R
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02 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 Class R Certificate in violation
of the restrictions in this Section 5.02 and to the extent that the retroactive
restoration of the rights of the holder of such Class R Certificate as described
in clause (iii)(a) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the
Trustee shall have the right, without notice to the holder or any prior holder
of such Class R Certificate, to sell such Class R Certificate to a purchaser
selected by the Trustee on such terms as the Trustee may choose. Such purported
Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Class R Certificate in
accordance with the instructions of the Trustee. Such purchaser may be the
Trustee itself. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may
include commissions payable to the Trustee), expenses and taxes due, if any,
will be remitted by the Trustee 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 Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be liable to any
Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate as a result of
its
exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The
Trustee 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 Class
R
Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the
information regarding “excess inclusions” of such Class R Certificates required
to be provided to the Internal Revenue Service and certain Persons as described
in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.86OD-l(b)(5) and 1.860E 2(a)(5), 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 Class R Certificate having
as
among its record holders at any time any Person who is a Disqualified
Organization. The Trustee may charge and shall be entitled to reasonable
compensation for providing such information as may be required from those
Persons which may have had a tax imposed upon them as specified in clauses
(A)
and (B) of this paragraph for providing such information.
Subject
to the preceding paragraphs, upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any
Certificate at the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose, the
Trustee shall execute and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall
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
initial Certificate Principal Balance. Every Certificate surrendered for
transfer shall be accompanied by notification of the account of the designated
transferee or transferees for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant
to
Section 4.01 by wire transfer, if any such transferee desires and is eligible
for distribution by wire transfer.
At
the
option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates of authorized denominations of the same Class of a like aggregate
initial Certificate Principal Balance, upon surrender of the Certificates to
be
exchanged at the office of the Certificate Registrar. Whenever any Certificates
are so surrendered for exchange the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and
deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer
or
exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar)
be
duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
the
form satisfactory to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar duly executed
by,
the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No
service charge shall be made to the Certificateholders for any transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
All
Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled and
retained by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee’s standard
procedures.
Section
5.03 Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If
(i)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee and the Trustee receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence
of
notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, 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 initial Certificate Principal Balance. Upon
the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may require
the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the
fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued,
whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at
any
time.
Section
5.04 Persons
Deemed Owners.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee 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 neither the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be affected
by
notice to the contrary.

incorporation, and each will obtain and preserve its qualification to do
business as a foreign corporation 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; and provided further
that the Rating Agencies’ ratings of the Class A Certificates immediately prior
to such merger or consolidation will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn
as a
result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating
Agencies).
Any
Person into which the Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged,
consolidated or converted, or any corporation resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party,
or
any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer,
shall be the successor of the Depositor 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 the successor or surviving Person
to
the Master Servicer shall be qualified to sell mortgage loans to and service
mortgage loans for FNMA or FHLMC.
Section
6.03 Limitation
on Liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Others.
Neither
the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees
or agents of the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability
to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for
refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Depositor or the Master Servicer (but this provision
shall
protect the above described persons) against any breach of warranties or
representations made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01 or any other Section hereof; and
provided further that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Master
Servicer or any such person, against any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in
the
performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Depositor or the Master Servicer may rely in good
faith
on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by
any
Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Master
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor 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 or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability
or expense related to Master Servicer’s servicing obligations with respect to
any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability
or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or
related to the Master Servicer’s obligations under Section 3.01, or 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.
Neither
the Depositor nor the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear
in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its
respective duties under this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve
it
in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Depositor or the Master
Servicer may in its sole 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 action or liability related to the Master
Servicer’s obligations under Section 3.01) shall be expenses, costs and
liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor and the Master Servicer shall
be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Certificate Account as provided
in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights
of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Certificate
Account.
Section
6.04 Limitation
on Resignation of the Master Servicer.
The
Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed
on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor servicer reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee and upon receipt by the Trustee of a letter from each Rating
Agency that such a resignation and appointment will not, in and of itself,
result in a downgrading of the Certificates or (b) upon determination that
its
duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law (any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer to be evidenced
by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the resigning Master Servicer)
to
such effect delivered to the Trustee). No such resignation shall become
effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the
Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations
hereunder.

DEFAULT
Section
7.01 Events
of Default.
“Event
of
Default”, wherever used herein, means any one of the following
events:
(i) any
failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Trustee for distribution to
the
Certificateholders any payment (other than an Advance) required to be made
under
the terms of the Certificates or this Agreement which continues unremedied
for a
period of one day after the date upon which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer
by the Depositor (with a copy to the Trustee) 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) 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 the Certificates or in this Agreement (including
any breach of the Master Servicer’s representations and warranties pursuant to
Section 2.03(a) which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders) 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 (with a copy
to
the Trustee) 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
(iii) a
decree
or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction
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 proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of
its
affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree
or
order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of
60
consecutive days; or
(iv) 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 the Master Servicer or
of
or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(v) 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 or otherwise
voluntarily commence a case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar statute, make an assignment for
the
benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;
or
(vi) the
Master Servicer shall fail to deposit in the Certificate Account on any
Certificate Account Deposit Date an amount equal to any required
Advance.
If
the
Master Servicer shall fail to make any deposit in the Certificate Account as
required by Section 4.01, the Trustee shall give the Master Servicer notice
pursuant to clause (i) not later than the Business Day following the Certificate
Account Deposit Date. If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) - (v)
of
this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as
such
Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee
may,
and at the direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51%
of
the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice to the Master Servicer (and
to
the Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the
Depositor) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Trust Fund, other than its
rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. If an Event of Default described in
clause (vi) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice to the Master
Servicer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of
the
Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Trust Fund, other than
its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. On or after the receipt by the
Master Servicer of such notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than
as a
holder thereof) or the Mortgage Loans or other wise, 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 to execute and deliver, on behalf
of
the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents
and
other instru ments, 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 to cooperate with
the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to the Trustee or its appointed agent for administration by it of
all
cash amounts which shall at the time be deposited by the Master Servicer or
should have been deposited to the Custodial or the Certificate Account or
thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall
not
be deemed to have breached any obligation hereunder as a result of a failure
to
make or delay in making any distribution as and when required hereunder caused
by the failure of the Master Servicer to remit any amounts received on it or
to
deliver any documents held by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans. For
purposes of this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned
to
and working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Division has actual knowledge
thereof or unless notice of any event which is in fact such an Event of Default
is received by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, the
Trust Fund or this Agreement.
[Notwithstanding
any termination of the activities of [Name of Master Servicer] in its capacity
as Master Servicer hereunder, [Name of Master Servicer] shall be entitled to
receive, out of any Late Collection of a Monthly Payment on a Mortgage Loan
which was due prior to the notice terminating [Name of Master Servicer]’s rights
and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and received after such notice,
that portion to which [Name of Master Servicer] would have been entitled
pursuant to Sections 3.11 (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (viii) and Section 4.
01
(b)(iii) as well as the portion of its related Servicing Fee in respect thereof,
and any other amounts payable to [Name of Master Servicer] hereunder the
entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities
hereunder.]
Section
7.02 Trustee
to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On
and
after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant
to
Section 7.01, the Trustee or its appointed agent shall be the successor in
all
respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be
subject thereafter to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating
thereto placed on the Master Servicer including the obligation to make Advances
which have been or will be required to be made (except for the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.03 and its obligations to deposit
amounts in respect of losses incurred prior to the date of succession pursuant
to Section 3.12 and 4.01(e)) by the terms and provisions hereof; and provided
further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused
by
the Master Servicer’s failure to provide information required by Section 4.03
shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage
Loans which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the
Custodial Account and the Certificate Account if the Master Servicer had
continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if
it
shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights so request
in writing to the Trustee, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any FNMA- or FHLMC approved mortgage servicing
institution having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 as the successor
to
the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder.
Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee
shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and
such
successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be
in
excess of that permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such
successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall
be
necessary to effectuate any such succession; provided, however, that such
succession shall not reduce the ratings of the Certificates below the original
ratings thereof.
Any
successor, including the Trustee, to the Master Servicer shall maintain in
force
during its term as master servicer hereunder the Insurance Policies and fidelity
bonds to the same extent as the Master Servicer is so required pursuant to
Sections 3.13 and 3.18.
Section
7.03 Notification
to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon
any
such termination or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the
Trustee shall give prompt notice thereof to Certificateholders.
(b) Within
60
days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit
by
mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each such Event of Default
hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been
cured or waived.
Section
7.04 Waiver
of Events of Default.
The
Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights of Certificates affected
by a default or Event of Default hereunder, may waive such default or Event
of
Default (other than an Event of Default set forth in Section 7.01(vi); provided,
however, that no waiver pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall affect the Holders
of Certificates in the manner set forth in the second paragraph of Section
11.01
or materially adversely affect any non-consenting Certificateholder. Upon any
such waiver of a default or Event of Default by the Holders representing the
requisite percentage of Voting Rights of Certificates affected by such default
or Event of Default, such default or 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 or Event of Default
or
impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so
waived.
ARTICLE
VIII
CONCERNING
THE TRUSTEE
Section
8.01 Duties
of Trustee.
The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing
of
all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties
and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If an
Event of Default occurs and is continuing, 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 their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. Any permissive right of
the
Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a
duty.
The
Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee 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 shall
take action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument
corrected.
The
Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust Fund any tax return that the Trustee
is required to sign pursuant to applicable federal, state or local tax
laws.
The
Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall perform its obligations hereunder
in
a manner so as to maintain the status of the Trust Fund as a REMIC under the
REMIC Provisions and to prevent the imposition of any federal, state or local
income, prohibited transaction, contribution or other tax on the Trust Fund
to
the extent that maintaining such status and avoiding such taxes are reasonably
within the control of the Trustee and are reasonably within the scope of its
duties under this Agreement.
No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee 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 an Event of Default, and after the curing of all such Events
of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee
shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not 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
and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee 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 and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The
Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless
it
shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts;
(iii) The
Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of 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 exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Trustee, under this Agreement.
Section
8.02 Certain
Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(a) The
Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining
from acting upon any resolution, Officers’ Certificate, certificate of auditors
or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties;
(b) The
Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered
or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance
therewith;
(c) The
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers
vested in it by this Agreement or to make any investigation of matters arising
hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in
relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such
Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity 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 an Event of Default (which has not
been cured), 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 man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
his
own affairs;
(d) The
Trustee shall not be personally 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;
(e) Prior
to
the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing of all
Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to
make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing
to
do so by 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
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, not reasonably assured
to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement,
the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability
as a condition to taking any such action. The reasonable expense of every such
reasonable examination shall be paid by the Master Servicer or, if paid by
the
Trustee, shall be repaid by the Master Servicer upon demand; and
(f) The
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys.
Section
8.03 Trustee
Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The
recitals contained herein and in the Certificates, other than the signature
of
the Trustee on the Certificates and the certificate of authentication, shall
be
taken as the state ments of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case
may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The
Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency
of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related
document, other than the signature of the Trustee on the Certificates and the
Certificate of Authentication. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the
use
or application by the Depositor or the Master Servicer of any of the
Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or
application of any funds paid to the Sponsor in respect of the Mortgage Loans
or
deposited in or withdrawn from the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account
or any other account by or on behalf of the Depositor or the Master Servicer,
other than any funds held by or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with
Section 4.01.
Section
8.04 Trustee
May Own Certificates.
The
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee.
Section
8.05 Payment
of Trustee’s Fees.
The
Trustee shall withdraw from the Certificate Account on each Distribution Date
and pay to itself the Trustee’s Fee. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any
loss, liability or “unanticipated out-of-pocket” expense incurred or paid to
third parties (which expenses shall not include salaries paid to employees,
or
allocable overhead, of the Trustee) in connection with the acceptance or
administration of its trusts hereunder or the Certificates, other than any
loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder all such amounts shall be payable
from funds in the Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.11. The provisions
of this Section 8.05 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.
The
Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and any director, officer, employee
or agent of the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense that may be
sustained in connection with this Agreement related to the willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder.
Section
8.06 Eligibility
Requirements for Trustee.
The
Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or a national banking
association organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the
United States of America or the District of Columbia, authorized under such
laws
to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of
at
least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority. In addition, the Trustee shall at all times be acceptable to the
Rating Agency rating the Certificates. If such corporation publishes reports
of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed
to
be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report
of
condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
The corporation or national banking association serving as Trustee may have
normal banking and trust relationships with the Sponsor and its affiliates
or
the Master Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however, that such corporation
cannot be an affiliate of the Master Servicer other than the Trustee in its
role
as successor to the Master Servicer.
Section
8.07 Resignation
and Removal of the Trustee.
The
Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created
by giving notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and to all
Certificateholders; provided, that such resignation shall not be effective
until
a successor trustee is appointed and accepts appointment in accordance with
the
following provisions. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor
shall promptly appoint a successor trustee who meets the eligibility
requirements of Section 8.06 by written instrument, in duplicate, which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to the successor
trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders
and the Master Servicer by the Depositor. If no successor trustee shall have
been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after the giving
of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court
of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee; provided,
however, that the resigning Trustee shall not resign and be discharged from
the
trusts hereby created until such time as the Rating Agency rating the
Certificates approves the successor trustee.
If
at any
time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of
Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
Depositor or the Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver
of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for
the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or if the rating
of
the long-term debt obligations of the Trustee is not acceptable to the Rating
Agency in respect of mortgage pass-through certificates having a rating equal
to
the then current rating on the Certificates, then the Depositor may remove
the
Trustee and appoint a successor trustee who meets the eligibility requirements
of Section 8.06 by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall
be
delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the successor trustee. A copy of
such
instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Master Servicer
by the Depositor.
The
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at
any
time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written 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
Master Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete
set
to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered
to
the Certificateholders and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective
until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section
8.08.
Section
8.08 Successor
Trustee.
Any
successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Master Servicer and to its predecessor trustee
an
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation
or removal of the prede cessor trustee shall become effective and such successor
trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested
with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The
predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all Mortgage Files
and related documents and statements held by it hereunder, and the Master
Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments
and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and
certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights,
powers, duties and obligations.
No
successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless
at
the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under
the
provisions of Section 8.06.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section,
the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer fails to mail such notice within
ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor
trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Master
Servicer.
Section
8.09 Merger
or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any
corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it
may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions
of
Section 8.06, 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
8.10 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 Trust Fund or property
securing the same may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee
acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as
co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or
separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such
Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part
thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8. 10, such
powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee
may consider necessary or desirable. If the Depositor shall not have joined
in
such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to
do,
or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee
or
separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility
as
a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of
Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall
be
required under Section 8.08 hereof.
In
the
case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this
Section 8. 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 (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the
Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified
to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund 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
VIII.. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts
conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as
may
be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection 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.

TERMINATION
Section
9.01 Termination
Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
Subject
to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created hereby (other than the
obligations of the Master Servicer to provide for and the Trustee to make
payments to Certificateholders as hereafter set forth) shall terminate upon
payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the
Trustee and required to be paid to them hereunder following the earlier to
occur
of (i) the repurchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and each
REO
Property in respect thereof remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to
(a)
100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than one
as to
which a REO Property was acquired) on the day of repurchase together with
accrued interest on such unpaid principal balance at the related Net Mortgage
Rate to the first day of the month in which the proceeds of such repurchase
are
to be distributed, plus (b) the appraised value of any REO Property less the
good faith estimate of the Master Servicer of liquidation expenses to be
incurred in connection with its disposal thereof, such appraisal to be conducted
by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Trustee
at
the expense of the Master Servicer, (but not more than the unpaid principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan, together with accrued interest on that
balance at the Net Mortgage Rate to the first day of the month of repurchase),
and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund (or the
disposition of all REO Property in respect thereof); provided, however, that
in
no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond expiration of 21 years
from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx,
the
late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the
date hereof. In the case of any repurchase by the Master Servicer pursuant
to
clause (i), the Master Servicer shall include in such repurchase price the
amount of any Advances that will be reimbursed to the Master Servicer pursuant
to Section 3.11 (iii) and the Master Servicer shall exercise reasonable efforts
to cooperate fully with the Trustee in effecting such repurchase and the
transfer of the Mortgage Loans and related Mortgage Files and related records
to
the Master Servicer.
The
right
of the Master Servicer to repurchase all Mortgage Loans pursuant to (i) above
shall be conditioned upon the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of such
Mortgage Loans at the time of any such repurchase aggregating an amount equal
to
or less than ___% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans at the Cut-off Date. If such right is exercised, the Master Servicer
upon
such repurchase shall provide to the Trustee, the certifica tion required by
Section 3.16.
Notice
of
any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment
of the final distri bution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the
Master Servicer by letter to the Trustee and shall be given promptly by the
Trustee to the Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such notice is given
in connection with the Master Servicer’s election to repurchase, not earlier
than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding
the month of such final distribution or (b) otherwise during the month of such
final distribution on or before the Determination Date in such month, in each
case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which final payment of the
Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at
the
office of the Certificate Registrar therein designated, (ii) the amount of
any
such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation
and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar
therein specified. In the event such notice is given in connection with the
Master Servicer’s election to repurchase, the Master Servicer shall deposit in
the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3. 10 on the last day of the related
Prepayment Period an amount equal to the above-described repurchase price
payable out of its own funds. Upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates by the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall distribute to the
Certificateholders (i) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution
Date, if not in connection with the Master Servicer’s election to repurchase, or
(ii) if the Master Servicer elected to so repurchase, an amount determined
as
follows: with respect to each Class A and Class B Certificate, the outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance thereof, plus one month’s interest thereon at the
applicable Pass-Through Rate and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate
Interest, subject to the priority set forth in Section 4.01(b); and with respect
to each Class R Certificate, the Percentage Interest evidenced thereby
multiplied by the difference, if any, between the above described repurchase
price and the aggregate amount to be distributed to the Class A and Class B
Certificateholders. Upon certification to the Trustee by a Servicing Officer,
following such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release the Mortgage
Files as directed by the Master Servicer for the remaining Mortgage Loans,
and
the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments
required by the Master Servicer as being necessary to effectuate such
transfer.
In
the
event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates
for cancellation within six months after the time specified in the
above-mentioned notice, the Trustee shall give a second notice to the remaining
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the
second notice all of the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall take reasonable steps as directed by the
Depositor, or appoint an agent to take reasonable steps, to contact the
remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and
the
cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain
subject hereto. If, within nine months after the second notice, all of the
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets
which remain subject hereto.
Section
9.02 Additional
Termination Requirements.
(a) In
the
event the Master Servicer repurchases the Mortgage Loans as provided in Section
9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following
additional requirements, unless the Master Servicer obtains for the Trustee
an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply
with the requirements of this Section 9.02 will not (i) result in the imposition
of taxes on the net income derived from “prohibited transactions” of the Trust
Fund as defined in Section 86OF of the Code or (ii) cause the Trust Fund to
fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding:
(i) The
Trustee shall establish a 90-day liquidation period and specify the first day
of
such period in a statement attached to the Trust Fund’s final Tax Return
pursuant to Treasury Regulation (S)1.86OF-1. The Trustee shall satisfy all
the
requirements of a qualified liquidation under 86OF of the Code and any
regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel obtained at the
expense of the Master Servicer;
(ii) During
such 90-day liquidation period, and at or prior to the time of making of the
final payment on the Certificates, the Master Servicer shall sell all of the
assets of the Trust Fund for cash; and
(iii) At
the
time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall
distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders
of
the Class R Certificates all remaining cash on hand (other than cash retained
to
meet claims), and the Trust Fund shall terminate at that time.
(b) By
their
acceptance of the Class R Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to
authorize the Trustee to specify the 90-day liquidation period for the Trust
Fund, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor Class R
Certificateholders.
ARTICLE
X
REMIC
PROVISIONS
Section
10.01 REMIC
Administration.
(a) The
Trustee shall make an election to treat the Trust Fund as a REMIC under the
Code
and, if necessary, under applicable state law. Such election will be made on
Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return or any
appropriate state return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the
calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. For the purposes of the
REMIC election in respect of the Trust Fund, the Class A and Class B
Certificates shall be designated as the “regular interests” and the Class R
Certificates shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interest” in the
Trust Fund. The Trustee shall not permit the creation of any “interests” in the
Trust Fund (within the meaning of Section 86OG of the Code) other than the
Regular Certificates and the Residual Certificates.
(b) The
Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup day” of the Trust Fund within
the meaning of Section 86OG(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The
Trustee shall hold a Class R Certificate representing a 0.01 % Percentage
interest of all Class R Certificates and shall be designated as the tax matters
person of the Trust Fund in the manner provided under Treasury regulations
section 1.86OF-4(d) and temporary Treasury regulations section
301.6231(a)(7)-1T. The Trustee, as tax matters person, shall (i) act on behalf
of the Trust Fund in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving the
Trust Fund and (ii) represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial
proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing
authority with respect thereto. To the extent authorized under the Code and
the
regulations promulgated thereunder, each Holder of a Class R Certificate, hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Trustee to be its attorney-in-fact
for
purposes of signing any Tax Returns required to be filed on behalf of the Trust
Fund. The legal expenses and costs of any such action described in this
subsection and any liability resulting therefrom shall constitute expenses
of
the Trust Fund and the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor
unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the Trustee’s
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.
(d) Except
as
provided in Section 4.05, the Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared,
sign and file all of the Tax Returns in respect of the Trust Fund created
hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne
by
the Trustee without any right of reimbursement therefor.
(e) The
Trustee shall perform on behalf of the Trust Fund all reporting and other tax
compliance duties that are the responsibility of the Trust Fund under the Code,
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 Trustee shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Class R Certificate such
information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the
transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted
Transferee, (ii) 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 Prepayment
Assumption) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address
and telephone number of the person who will serve as the representative of
the
Trust Fund. In addition, the Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided
to
the Trustee, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or
data that the Trustee 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.
(f) The
Trustee shall take such action and shall cause the Trust Fund created hereunder
to take such action as shall be necessary to create or maintain the status
thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (and the Master Servicer shall
assist it, to the extent reasonably requested by it). The Trustee 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 (i) endanger the status of the Trust Fund
as a
REMIC or (ii) 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
86OF(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in
Section 86OG(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”)
unless the Trustee received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party
seeking to take such action but in no event shall such Opinion of Counsel be
an
expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not,
with respect to the Trust Fund created hereunder, endanger such status or result
in the imposition of such a tax. The Master Servicer shall not 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.
In
addition, prior to taking any action with respect to the Trust Fund or its
assets, or causing the Trust Fund to take any action, which is not expressly
permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer 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 the Trust
Fund, and the Master Servicer shall not take any such action or cause the Trust
Fund to take any such action as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing
that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee may consult with counsel
to
make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party
seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement (but in no event
shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee). At all times as may be required
by the Code, the Trustee will ensure that substantially all of the assets of
the
Trust Fund will consist of “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section
86OG(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section
86OG(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) In
the
event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of the Trust Fund
created hereunder as defined in Section 86OF(a)(2) of the Code, on “net income
from foreclosure property” of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 86OG(c) of
the Code, on any contributions to the Trust Fund after the Startup Day therefor
pursuant to Section 86OG(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 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises
out of or results from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in
performance by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X,
(ii)
to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises
out
of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations
under Article III or this Article X, or otherwise (iii) against amounts on
deposit in the Custodial Account and shall be paid by withdrawal
therefrom.
(h) On
or
before April 15 of each calendar year, commencing April 15, 20_, the Trustee
shall deliver to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency a Certificate from
a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee stating the Trustee’s compliance with this
Article X.
(i) The
Master Servicer and the Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain
books and records with respect to the Trust Fund on a calendar year and on
an
accrual basis.
(j) Following
the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept any contributions of assets to
the
Trust Fund other than in connection with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan
delivered in accordance with Section 2.04 unless it shall have received an
Opinion of Counsel (which such Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of
the
Trustee) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund
will
not cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding or subject the Trust Fund to any tax under the
REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local
law
or ordinances.
(k) Neither
the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which
the Trust Fund will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit
either such REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified
mortgages” as defined in Section 86OG(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted
investments” as defined in Section 86OG(a)(5) of the Code.
(l) Solely
for purposes of satisfying Section 1.86OG-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury
regulations, and based on certain assumptions described below, the “latest
possible maturity date” by which the Certificate Principal Balances of the
Certificates representing a regular interest in the Trust Fund would be reduced
to zero is __________ 25, 20__, which is the Distribution Date immediately
following the latest scheduled maturity of any Mortgage Loan as determined
assuming that (i) scheduled interest and principal payments on the Mortgage
Loans are received in a timely manner, with no delinquencies or losses, (ii)
there are no principal prepayments, and (iii) neither the Sponsor nor the Master
Servicer will repurchase any Mortgage Loans.
Section
10.02 Prohibited
Transactions and Activities.
Neither
the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall sell, dispose of or
substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the
foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition
or
sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii)
the
bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of the Trust Fund pursuant
to Article IX of this Agreement or (iv) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant
to
Article II or III of this Agreement) nor acquire any assets for the Trust Fund,
nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Custodial Account or the
Certificate Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to the Trust Fund
after the Closing Date unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the
expense of the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, substitution
or
acquisition but in no event shall such Opinion of Counsel be an expense of
the
Trustee) that such sale, disposition, substitution or acquisition will not
(a)
affect adversely the status of the Trust Fund as a REMIC or (b) cause the Trust
Fund to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions”
pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
Section
10.03 Master
Servicer and Trustee Indemnification.
(a) The
Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor and the Master
Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable
attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the
Master Servicer, as a result of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
by the Trustee with respect to the Trustee’s covenants set forth in this Article
X.
(b) The
Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor and the
Trustee for any taxes and costs (including, without limitation, any reasonable
attorneys’ fees) imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the
Trustee, as a result of a breach of the Master Servicer’s covenants set forth in
this Article X or in Article III with respect to compliance with the REMIC
Provisions, including without limitation, any penalties arising from the
Trustee’s execution of Tax Returns prepared by the Master Servicer that contain
errors or omissions.

MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS
Section
11.01 Amendment.
This
Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer

cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein which
may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or to correct
any error, (iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the
Certificate Account, provided that (a) such change would not adversely affect
in
any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by
an
Opinion of Counsel, and (b) such change would not adversely affect the then-
current rating of any rated class of Certificates, as evidenced by a letter
from
each applicable Rating Agency, (iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of the

maintain the qualification of the Trust Fund as a REMIC or to avoid or minimize
the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, provided that the Trustee
has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (1) such action is
necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize
such risk, and (2) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of any Certificateholder, or (b) to restrict the transfer of
the
Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the then-
current ratings of the Class A Certificates will not be adversely affected,
as
evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency, and that any such amendment
will
not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R
Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee, (v) to make any other provisions
with respect to matters or questions arising this Agreement which are not
materially inconsistent with the provisions thereof, provided that such action
will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any

to holders of any class of Certificates offered hereunder.
This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class
affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying
in
any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that
no
such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing
of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed
on
any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, or (ii)
reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Holders of which are
required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders
of
all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to
this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Sponsor or the
Master Servicer or any affiliate thereof shall be entitled to Voting Rights
with
respect to matters described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this
paragraph.
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to
any
amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion

Counsel (provided by the Person requesting such amendment) to the effect that
such amendment will not result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund
pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify
as a
REMIC at any time that any of the Certificates are outstanding. Promptly after
the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall furnish a statement
describing the amendment to each Certificateholder.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner
of
obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations
as
the Trustee may prescribe.
Prior
to
executing any amendment pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall be entitled
to receive an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the Person requesting such
amendment) to the effect that such amendment is authorized or permitted by
this
Agreement. The cost of an Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to this Section
11.01 shall be an expense of the party requesting such amendment, but in any
case shall not be an expense of the Trustee.
The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant
to
this Section that affects its rights, duties and immunities under this Agreement
or otherwise.

or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Master Servicer and at
the
expense of the Depositor on direction by the Trustee, but only upon direction

and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.
Section
11.03 Limitation
on Rights of Certificateholders.
The
death
or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust Fund, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided
for
herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of
the
Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein
set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as
to

of an
association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any
third
party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant
to
any provision hereof.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this

have given to the Trustee a notice of an Event of Default, or of a default
by
the Sponsor or the Trustee in the performance of any obligation hereunder,
and
of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall
have
made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60
days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is
understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder
with
every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders
of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right
under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal,
ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and

evidencing
a percentage interest in the distributions allocable to the Class A- ___
Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of
conforming one- to four-family fixed-rate first lien mortgage loans formed
and
sold by ALLIANCE SECURITIES CORP.
This
Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not
represent an obligation of or interest in Alliance Securities Corp., the Master
Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates. Neither
this
Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by
any
governmental agency or instrumentality or by Impac Secured Assets Corp., the
Master Servicer, the Trustee or any of their affiliates. None of the Depositor,
the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with
respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from
payments on the Certificates.
This
certifies that [Cede & Co.] is the registered owner of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the Initial
[Certificate Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of this Certificate by the
aggregate Initial [Certificate Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of all
Class
A-____ Certificates, both as specified above) in certain distributions with
respect to the Trust Fund consisting primarily of an interest in a pool of
conventional one- to four-family fixed-rate first lien mortgage loans (the
“Mortgage Loans”), formed and sold by Alliance Securities Corp. (hereinafter
called the “Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the
Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling
and Servicing Agreement dated as specified above (the “Agreement”) among the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and [Name of Trustee], as trustee (the
“Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set
forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used
herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued
under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement,
to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing as described in the
Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the
close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding
the month of such Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), from the Available
Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount of [interest and] [principal],
if
any, required to be distributed to Holders of Class A-____Certificates on such
Distribution Date.
Distributions
on this Certificate will be made either by the Trustee or by a Paying Agent
appointed by the Trustee either in immediately available funds (by wire transfer
or otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Trustee or such Paying Agent at least 5 Business
Days
prior to the related Record Date, or by check mailed to the address of the
Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the
Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding
the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due
notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and
surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee
for that purpose in the City and State of New York. The Initial [Certificate
Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of this Certificate is set forth above.
The
[Certificate Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] hereof will be reduced to
the
extent of [distributions allocable to principal and] any Realized Losses
allocable hereto.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several
Classes designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified
hereon (herein collectively called the “Certificates”).
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer funds are advanced
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master
Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries
on
such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been distributable to
Certificateholders.
As
provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the
Certificate Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made
by
the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes other than distributions
to
Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation reimbursement
to
the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain
expenses incurred, by either of them.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
of
the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests
of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder
of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders
of
any of the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or
agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an
assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by
the
Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing
the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates
are
exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the
same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and
any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
as
the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
This
Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of
the State of New York.
The
obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the
Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to
Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier
of
(i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto
or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu
of
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase by the Class R
Certificateholder from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and all
property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans, thereby effecting early
retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require,
the
Class R Certificateholder to (i) purchase at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect
of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not in part, all of the
Certificates from the Holders thereof; provided, that any such option may only
be exercised if the Aggregate [Stated Principal Balance] [Notional Amount]
of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any
such purchase are distributed is less than one percent of the Aggregate [Stated
Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date.
Reference
is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same
effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee,
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 Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.

evidencing
percentage interest in the distributions allocable to the Class [B-_]
Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of
conforming one- to four- family fixed-rate first lien mortgage loans formed
and
sold by ALLIANCE SECURITIES CORP.
This
Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not
represent an obligation of or interest in Alliance Securities Corp., the Master
Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates. Neither
this
Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by
any
governmental agency or instrumentality or by Impac Secured Assets Corp., the
Master Servicer, the Trustee or any of their affiliates. None of the Depositor,
the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with
respect to any certificate or other or obligation secured by or payable from
payments on the Certificates.
This
certifies that ___________ is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the Initial [Certificate
Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of this Certificate by the aggregate
Initial [Certificate Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of all Class [B-_]
Certificates, both as specified above), in certain distributions with respect
to
a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of one- to four-family fixed-rate
first lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), formed and sold by Alliance
Securities Corp. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any
successor entity under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was
created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as specified above
(the “Agreement”) among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and [Name of
Trustee], as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein,
the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned the Agreement.
This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is
bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing as described in the
Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the
close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding
the month of such Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), from the Available
Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if
any)
required to be distributed to Holders of Class [B-_] Certificates on such
Distribution Date.
Distributions
on this Certificate will be made either by the Trustee or by a Paying Agent
appointed by the Trustee either in immediately available funds (by wire transfer
or otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Trustee or such Paying Agent at least 5 Business
Days
prior to the related Record Date, or by check mailed to the address of the
Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the
Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding
the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due
notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and
surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee
for that purpose in the City and State of New York. The Initial [Certificate
Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of this Certificate is set forth above.
The
[Certificate Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] hereof will be reduced to
the
extent of [the distributions allocable to principal and] any Realized Losses
allocable hereto.
No
transfer of this Class [B-_] Certificate will be made unless such transfer
is
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance
with
said Act and laws. In the event that such a transfer is to be made, (i) the
Trustee shall require an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee that such transfer is exempt (describing
the applicable exemption and the basis therefor) from or is being made pursuant
to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and
of any applicable statute of any state and (ii) the transferee and transferor
shall execute a representation letter in the form described by the Agreement.
The Holder hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree
to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
Certificate Registrar acting on behalf of the Trustee 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 connection with any such transfer, the Trustee
will also require either (i) an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form
and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee with respect to the permissibility of
such
transfer under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(“ERISA”) and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and
stating, among other things, that the transferee’s acquisition of a Class [B-_]
Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction
under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) a representation
letter, in the form as described by the Agreement, either stating that the
transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited
transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a “Plan”), or any
other person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee
of
any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any
Certificate with “plan assets” of any Plan, or stating that the transferee is an
insurance company, the source of funds to be used by it to purchase the
Certificate is an “insurance company general account” (within the meaning of
Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60), and
the purchase is being made in reliance upon the availability of the exemptive
relief afforded under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several
Classes designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified
hereon (herein collectively called the “Certificates”).
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer funds are advanced
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master
Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries
on
such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been distributable to
Certificateholders.
As
provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the
Certificate Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made
by
the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes other than distributions
to
Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation reimbursement
to
the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain
expenses incurred, by either of them.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
of
the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests
of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder
of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders
of
any of the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or
agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an
assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by
the
Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing
the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates
are
exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the
same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and
any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
as
the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
This
Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of
the State of New York.
The
obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the
Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to
Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier
of
(i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto

such purchase are distributed is less than one percent of the Aggregate [Stated

Date.
Unless

evidencing
a percentage interest in any distributions allocable to the Class R Certificates
with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of one- to
four-family fixed-rate first lien mortgage loans formed and sold by ALLIANCE
SECURITIES CORP.
This
Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not
represent an obligation of or interest in Alliance Securities Corp., the Master
Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates. Neither
this
Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by
any
governmental agency or instrumentality or by Impac Secured Assets Corp., the
Master Servicer, the Trustee or any of their affiliates. None of the Depositor,
the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with
respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from
payments on the Certificates.
This
certifies that ________________ is the registered owner of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate stated above in certain distributions
with respect to a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of one- to
four-family fixed-rate first lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), formed
and sold by Alliance Securities Corp. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which
term includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below).
The
Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated
as
specified above (the “Agreement”) among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
[Name of Trustee], as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined
herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the
Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of
this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such
Holder is bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following (the Distribution Date”), commencing as described in the
Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the
close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding
the month of such Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), from the Available
Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount of interest and principal, if
any ,
required to be distributed to Holders of Class R Certificates on such
Distribution Date.
Each
Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the
restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each person
holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a United
States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any Ownership
Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to the
Trustee of, among other things, an affidavit to the effect that it is a United
States Person and Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported
transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such
restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the
purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a United States Person
and a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate
in violation of such restrictions, then the Depositor will have the right,
in
its sole discretion and without notice to the Holder of this Certificate, to
sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor, which purchaser
may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor, on such terms and
conditions as the Depositor may choose.
Notwithstanding
the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due
notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and
surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee
for that purpose in the City and State of New York. The Initial [Certificate
Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of this Certificate is set forth above.
The
[Certificate Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] hereof will be reduced to
the
extent of [distributions allocable to principal] and any Realized Losses
allocable hereto. Notwithstanding the reduction of the [Certificate Principal
Balance] [Notional Amount] hereof to zero, this Certificate will remain
outstanding under the Agreement and the Holder hereof may have additional
obligations with respect to this Certificate, including tax liabilities, and
may
be entitled to certain additional distributions hereon, in accordance with
the
terms and provisions of the Agreement.
In
connection with any transfer of this Certificate, the Trustee will also require
either (i) an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee with respect to the permissibility of such transfer
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)
and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and stating, among
other things, that the transferee’s acquisition of a Class R Certificate will
not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section
406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) a representation letter, in
the
form as described by the Agreement, stating that the transferee is not an
employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a “Plan”), or any other person (including
an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan) acting,
directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with “plan
assets” of any Plan.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several
Classes designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified
hereon (herein collectively called the “Certificates”).
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer funds are advanced
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master
Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries
on
such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been distributable to
Certificateholders.
As
provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the
Certificate Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made
by
the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes other than distributions
to
Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation reimbursement
to
the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain
expenses incurred, by either of them.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
of
the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests
of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder
of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all
future holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the
amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders
of
any of the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or
agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an,
assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by
the
Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing
the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein ,set forth, Certificates
are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing
the
same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and
any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
as
the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
This
Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of
the State of New York.
The
obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the
Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to
Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier
of
(i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto
or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu
of
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase by the Class R
Certificateholder from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and all
property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans, thereby effecting early
retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require,
the
Class R Certificateholder to (i) purchase at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect
of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not in part, all of the
Certificates from the Holders thereof; provided, that any such option may only
be exercised if the Aggregate [Stated Principal Balance] [Notional Amount]
of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any
such purchase are distributed is less than one percent of the Aggregate [Stated
Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date.
Reference
is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purpose have the same
effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee,
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 Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.

defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The Purchaser hereby certifies, represents and warrants to, and
covenants with, the Depositor and the Trustee that:

or any state securities law, (b) the Depositor is not required to so register

effect.
2. The
Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates for its own account for investment

laws.
3. The
Purchaser is (a) a substantial, sophisticated institutional investor having
such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, and, in particular,
in such matters related to securities similar to the Certificates, such that
it
is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in the Certificates,
(b) able to bear the economic risks of such an investment and (c) an “accredited
investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 (a) promulgated pursuant to the
Act.
4. The
Purchaser has been furnished with, and has had an opportunity to review (a)
[a
copy of the Private Placement Memorandum, dated _________ __, 200_, relating
to
the Certificates (b)] a copy of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and [(b)]
[(c)] such other information concerning the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans
and
the Depositor as has been requested by the Purchaser from the Depositor or
the
Sponsor and is relevant to the Purchaser’s decision to purchase the
Certificates. The Purchaser has had any questions arising from such review
answered by the Depositor or the Sponsor to the satisfaction of the Purchaser.
[If the Purchaser did not purchase the Certificates from the Sponsor in
connection with the initial distribution of the Certificates and was provided
with a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum (the “Memorandum”) relating to
the original sale (the “Original Sale”) of the Certificates by the Depositor,
the Purchaser acknowledges that such Memorandum was provided to it by the
Sponsor, that the Memorandum was prepared by the Depositor solely for use in
connection with the Original Sale and the Depositor did not participate in
or
facilitate in any way the purchase of the Certificates by the Purchaser from
the
Sponsor, and the Purchaser agrees that it will look solely to the Sponsor and
not to the Depositor with respect to any damage, liability, claim or expense
arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (a) error or omission,
or
alleged error or omission, contained in the Memorandum, or (b) any information,
development or event arising after the date of the Memorandum.]
5. The

Certificate or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c)
otherwise approach or negotiate with respect to any Certificate, any interest
in
any Certificate or any other similar security with any person in any manner,
(d)
make any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other
manner or (e) take any other action, that (as to any of (a) through (e) above)
would constitute a distribution of any Certificate under the Act, that would
render the disposition of any Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Act
or
any state securities law, or that would require registration or qualification
pursuant thereto. The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any of
the
Certificates, except in compliance with the provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.

___________________,
being first duly sworn, deposes, represents and warrants:
1. That
he/she is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Owner], a [savings institution]
[corporation] duly organized and existing under the laws of [the State of
__________] [the United States], (the “Owner”), (record or beneficial owner of
the Class R Certificates (the “Class R Certificates”) on behalf of which he/she
makes this affidavit and agreement). This Class R Certificates were issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing
Agreement”) dated as of _________ 1, 200_ among Alliance Securities Corp., as
company, [Name of Master Servicer], as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”),
and [Name of Trustee], as trustee (the “Trustee”).
2. That
the
Owner (i) is not and will not be a “disqualified organization” as of
_____________ [date of transfer] within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5) of
the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (ii) will endeavor to
remain other than a disqualified organization for so long as it retains its
ownership interest in the Class R Certificates, and (iii) is acquiring the
Class
R Certificates for its own account or for the account of another Owner from
which it has received an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same
form
as this affidavit and agreement. (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 Xxxxxxx Mac, 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
rural 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. That
the
Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers of Class R
Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Code, that applies to
all
transfers of Class R Certificates after March 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 disqualified organization, 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 not a disqualified organization and, at the time of
transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false; and (iv) that the Class R Certificates may be “noneconomic residual
interests” within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to
the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain
liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest,
unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment
or
collection of tax.
4. That
the
Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding Class R
Certificates if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity
a
disqualified organization 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. That
the
Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the transfer of any Class
R
Certificates unless the transferee, or the transferee’s agent, delivers to it an
affidavit and agreement, among other things, in substantially the same form
as
this affidavit and agreement. 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. That
the
Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of the Class R
Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(f) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued (in particular,
clause (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(f) which authorize the Trustee
to
deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory
sale
by the Trustee in the event the Owner holds such Certificates in violation
of
Section 5.02(f)). The Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with
such restrictions and provisions.
7. That
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 not a disqualified organization.
8. The
Owner’s Taxpayer Identification Number is _____________________.
9. This
affidavit and agreement relates only to the Class R Certificates held by the
owner and not to any other holder of the Class R Certificates. The Owner
understands that the liabilities described herein relate only to the Class
R
Certificates.
10. That
no
purpose of the Owner relating to the transfer of any of the Class R Certificates
by the Owner is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any
tax.
11. That
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. In this regard, the Owner hereby represents to and for the benefit
of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificate that the Owner
intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R Certificate as they
become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess
of
any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificate.
12. That
the
Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will become insolvent
or
subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any of the Class R
Certificates remain outstanding.
13. 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, provided that with respect to any partnership
or other entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax
purposes, all persons that own an interest in such partnership either directly
or through any entity that is not a corporation for United States federal income
tax purposes are required by the applicable operative agreement to be United
States Persons, or an estate or trust whose income from sources without the
United States is includible 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.
14. (a)
The
Certificates (i) are not being acquired by, and will not be transferred to,
any
employee benefit plan within the meaning of section 3(3) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or other retirement
arrangement, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Xxxxx
plans
and bank collective investment funds and insurance company general or separate
accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested, that is
subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code
of
1986 (the “Code”) (any of the foregoing, a “Plan”), (ii) are not being acquired
with “plan assets” of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor
(“DOL”) regulation, 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 or otherwise under ERISA, and (iii)
will not be transferred to any entity that is deemed to be investing in plan
assets within the meaning of the DOL regulation, 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 or
otherwise under ERISA; or
(b)
The
Owner will provide the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer with
an
opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to
the
Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer to the effect that the purchase
of Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or
result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975
of
the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer
to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under
ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in the Pooling
and
Servicing Agreement.
In
addition, the Owner hereby certifies, represents and warrants to, and covenants
with, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer that the Owner will
not
transfer such Certificates to any Plan or person unless either such Plan or
person meets the requirements set forth in either (a) or (b) above.
Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Ladies
and Gentlemen:
This
letter is delivered to you in connection with the sale by
______________________________________ (the “Sponsor”) to
__________________________________________ (the “Purchaser”) of a ____%
Percentage Interest in the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 200_-_,
Class R (the “Certificates”), issued pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), dated as of
_________ 1, 200_, among Alliance Securities Corp., as company (the
“Depositor”), [Name of Master Servicer], as master servicer and [Name of
Trustee], as trustee (the “Trustee”). All terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Sponsor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to, and covenants with,
the Depositor and the Trustee that:
1. No
purpose of the Sponsor relating to the sale of the Certificates by the Sponsor
to the Purchaser is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any
tax.
2. The
Sponsor understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the Trustee and the
Master Servicer a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached to
the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit G-3. The Sponsor does not know or
believe that any representation contained therein is false.
3. The
Sponsor has at the time of the transfer conducted a reasonable investigation
of
the financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Sponsor
has determined that the Purchaser has historically paid its debts as they have
become due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Purchaser
will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Sponsor
understands that the transfer of the Certificates may not be respected for
United States income tax purposes (and the Sponsor may continue to be liable
for
United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Sponsor has
conducted such an investigation.
4. The
Sponsor has no actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is a Disqualified
Organization, an agent of a Disqualified Organization or a Non-United States
Person.

evidencing
a percentage interest in the distributions allocable to the Class A- ___
Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of
conforming one- to four-family fixed-rate first lien mortgage loans formed
and
sold by ALLIANCE SECURITIES CORP.
This
Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not
represent an obligation of or interest in Alliance Securities Corp., the Master
Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates. Neither
this
Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by
any
governmental agency or instrumentality or by Alliance Securities Corp., the
Master Servicer, the Trustee or any of their affiliates. None of the Company,
the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with
respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from
payments on the Certificates.
This
certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the Initial [Certificate
Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of this Certificate by the aggregate
Initial [Certificate Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of all Class A-____
Certificates, both as specified above) in certain distributions with respect
to
the Trust Fund consisting primarily of an interest in a pool of conventional
one- to four-family fixed-rate first lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”),
formed and sold by Alliance Securities Corp. (hereinafter called the “Company,”
which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below).
The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated
as specified above (the “Agreement”) among the Company, the Master Servicer and
Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary
of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To
the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject
to
the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing as described in the
Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the
close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding
the month of such Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), from the Available
Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount of [interest and] [principal],
if
any, required to be distributed to Holders of Class A-____Certificates on such
Distribution Date.
Distributions
on this Certificate will be made either by the Trustee or by a Paying Agent
appointed by the Trustee either in immediately available funds (by wire transfer
or otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Trustee or such Paying Agent at least 5 Business
Days
prior to the related Record Date, or by check mailed to the address of the
Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the
Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding
the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due
notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and
surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee
for that purpose in the City and State of New York. The Initial [Certificate
Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of this Certificate is set forth above.
The
[Certificate Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] hereof will be reduced to
the
extent of [distributions allocable to principal and] any Realized Losses
allocable hereto.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several
Classes designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified
hereon (herein collectively called the “Certificates”).
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer funds are advanced
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master
Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries
on
such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been distributable to
Certificateholders.
As
provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the
Certificate Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made
by
the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes other than distributions
to
Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation reimbursement
to
the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain
expenses incurred, by either of them.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
of
the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders
under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the
aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of
such
consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any
of
the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the consent
of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or
agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an
assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by
the
Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing
the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates
are
exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the
same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder

the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any
such purchase are distributed is less than one percent of the Aggregate [Stated
Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date.

(the “Agreement”) among the Company, the Master Servicer and Bankers Trust
Company of California, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of
the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not
defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned
the
Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of
this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such
Holder is bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing as described in the
Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the

Distributions
on this Certificate will be made either by the Trustee or by a Paying Agent
appointed by the Trustee either in immediately available funds (by wire transfer
or otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Trustee or such Paying Agent at least 5 Business
Days
prior to the related Record Date, or by check mailed to the address of the
Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the
Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding

The
[Certificate Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] hereof will be reduced to
the
extent of [the distributions allocable to principal and] any Realized Losses

is
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance

to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and
of any applicable statute of any state and (ii) the transferee and transferor
shall execute a representation letter in the form described by the Agreement.
The Holder hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree
to, indemnify the Trustee, the Company, the Master Servicer and the Certificate
Registrar acting on behalf of the Trustee 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 connection with any such transfer, the Trustee will also
require either (i) an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee with respect to the permissibility of such transfer
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)
and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and stating, among
other things, that the transferee’s acquisition of a Class [B-_] Certificate
will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) a representation
letter, in the form as described by the Agreement, either stating that the
transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited
transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a “Plan”), or any
other person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee
of
any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any

relief afforded under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several
Classes designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified
hereon (herein collectively called the “Certificates”).

recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer funds are advanced
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master

on
such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been distributable to
Certificateholders.

aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of

agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an

the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates

exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the
same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.

other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and
any
agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered

the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
This
Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of
the State of New York.
The
obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the
Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to
Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier
of
(i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto
or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu
of
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase by the Class R
Certificateholder from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and all

in
the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect
of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not in part, all of the

of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any
such purchase are distributed is less than one percent of the Aggregate [Stated
Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date.
Unless

by

the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN

SECURITIES CORP.
This
Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not
represent an obligation of or interest in Alliance Securities Corp., the Master
Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates. Neither
this
Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by

the Master Servicer or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with
respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from
payments on the Certificates.
This
certifies that ________________ is the registered owner of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate stated above in certain distributions
with respect to a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of one- to
four-family fixed-rate first lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), formed
and sold by Alliance Securities Corp. (hereinafter called the “Company,” which
term includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below).
The
Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated
as
specified above (the “Agreement”) among the Company, the Master Servicer and
Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary
of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To
the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject
to
the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following (the Distribution Date”), commencing as described in the
Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the
close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding
the month of such Distribution Date (the “Record Date”), from the Available
Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount of interest and principal, if
any ,
required to be distributed to Holders of Class R Certificates on such
Distribution Date.
Each
Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the
restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each person
holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a United
States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any Ownership
Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to the
Trustee of, among other things, an affidavit to the effect that it is a United
States Person and Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported
transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such
restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the
purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a United States Person
and a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate
in violation of such restrictions, then the Company will have the right, in
its
sole discretion and without notice to the Holder of this Certificate, to sell
this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Company, which purchaser may
be
the Company, or any affiliate of the Company, on such terms and conditions
as
the Company may choose.
Notwithstanding
the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due
notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and
surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee
for that purpose in the City and State of New York. The Initial [Certificate
Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of this Certificate is set forth above.
The
[Certificate Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] hereof will be reduced to
the
extent of [distributions allocable to principal] and any Realized Losses
allocable hereto. Notwithstanding the reduction of the [Certificate Principal
Balance] [Notional Amount] hereof to zero, this Certificate will remain
outstanding under the Agreement and the Holder hereof may have additional
obligations with respect to this Certificate, including tax liabilities, and
may
be entitled to certain additional distributions hereon, in accordance with
the
terms and provisions of the Agreement.
In
connection with any transfer of this Certificate, the Trustee will also require
either (i) an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee with respect to the permissibility of such transfer
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)
and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and stating, among
other things, that the transferee’s acquisition of a Class R Certificate will
not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section
406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) a representation letter, in
the
form as described by the Agreement, stating that the transferee is not an
employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a “Plan”), or any other person (including
an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan) acting,
directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with “plan
assets” of any Plan.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several
Classes designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified
hereon (herein collectively called the “Certificates”).
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. In the event Master Servicer funds are advanced
with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master
Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries
on
such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been distributable to
Certificateholders.
As

by
the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes other than distributions
to
Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation reimbursement
to

expenses incurred, by either of them.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
of
the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders
under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the
aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future

hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of
such
consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any
of
the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the consent
of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register

same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and
any
agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
as
the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
This
Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of
the State of New York.
The
obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the
Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to
Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier
of
(i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto
or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu
of
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase by the Class R
Certificateholder from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and all
property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans, thereby effecting early
retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require,
the
Class R Certificateholder to (i) purchase at a price determined as provided
in
the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect
of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not in part, all of the
Certificates from the Holders thereof; provided, that any such option may only
be exercised if the Aggregate [Stated Principal Balance] [Notional Amount]
of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of any
such purchase are distributed is less than one percent of the Aggregate [Stated
Principal Balance] [Notional Amount] of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off
Date.
Reference
is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purpose have the same
effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee,
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 Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.

______________
(the “Purchaser”) intends to purchase from ______________ (the “Seller”)
$_________ Initial Certificate Principal Balance of Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 200_-__, Class _____ (the “Certificates”), issued pursuant
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”),
dated as of _______, 200_ among Alliance Securities Corp., as company (the
“Company”), Impac Funding Corporation, as master servicer and Bankers Trust
Company of California, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). All terms used herein
and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling
and
Servicing Agreement. The Purchaser hereby certifies, represents and warrants
to,
and covenants with, the Company and the Trustee that:
1. The
Purchaser understands that (a) the Certificates have not been and will not
be
registered or qualified under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”)
or any state securities law, (b) the Company is not required to so register
or
qualify the Certificates, (c) the Certificates may be resold only if registered
and qualified pursuant to the provisions of the Act or any state securities
law,
or if an exemption from such registration and qualification is available, (d)
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement contains restrictions regarding the transfer
of the Certificates and (e) the Certificates will bear a legend to the foregoing
effect.
2. The
Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates for its own account for investment
only
and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof
in any manner that would violate the Act or any applicable state securities
laws.
3. The
Purchaser is (a) a substantial, sophisticated institutional investor having
such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, and, in particular,
in such matters related to securities similar to the Certificates, such that
it
is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in the Certificates,
(b) able to bear the economic risks of such an investment and (c) an “accredited
investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 (a) promulgated pursuant to the
Act.
4. The
Purchaser has been furnished with, and has had an opportunity to review (a)
[a
copy of the Private Placement Memorandum, dated March 28, 2002, relating to
the
Certificates (b)] a copy of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and [(b)] [(c)]
such other information concerning the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and
the
Company as has been requested by the Purchaser from the Company or the Seller
and is relevant to the Purchaser’s decision to purchase the Certificates. The
Purchaser has had any questions arising from such review answered by the Company
or the Seller to the satisfaction of the Purchaser. [If the Purchaser did not
purchase the Certificates from the Seller in connection with the initial
distribution of the Certificates and was provided with a copy of the Private
Placement Memorandum (the “Memorandum”) relating to the original sale (the
“Original Sale”) of the Certificates by the Company, the Purchaser acknowledges
that such Memorandum was provided to it by the Seller, that the Memorandum
was
prepared by the Company solely for use in connection with the Original Sale
and
the Company did not participate in or facilitate in any way the purchase of
the
Certificates by the Purchaser from the Seller, and the Purchaser agrees that
it
will look solely to the Seller and not to the Company with respect to any
damage, liability, claim or expense arising out of, resulting from or in
connection with (a) error or omission, or alleged error or omission, contained
in the Memorandum, or (b) any information, development or event arising after
the date of the Memorandum.]
5. The
Purchaser has not and will not nor has it authorized or will it authorize any
person to (a) offer, pledge, sell, dispose of or otherwise transfer any
Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any other similar security
to
any person in any manner, (b) solicit any offer to buy or to accept a pledge,
disposition of other transfer of any Certificate, any interest in any
Certificate or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c)
otherwise approach or negotiate with respect to any Certificate, any interest
in
any Certificate or any other similar security with any person in any manner,
(d)
make any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other
manner or (e) take any other action, that (as to any of (a) through (e) above)
would constitute a distribution of any Certificate under the Act, that would
render the disposition of any Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Act
or
any state securities law, or that would require registration or qualification
pursuant thereto. The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any of
the
Certificates, except in compliance with the provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.

___________________,
being first duly sworn, deposes, represents and warrants:
1. That
he/she is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Owner], a [savings institution]
[corporation] duly organized and existing under the laws of [the State of
__________] [the United States], (the “Owner”), (record or beneficial owner of
the Class R Certificates (the “Class R Certificates”) on behalf of which he/she
makes this affidavit and agreement). This Class R Certificates were issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing
Agreement”) dated as of _______, 200_ among Alliance Securities Corp., as
company, Impac Funding Corporation, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”),
and Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., as trustee (the
“Trustee”).
2. That
the
Owner (i) is not and will not be a “disqualified organization” as of
_____________ [date of transfer] within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5) of
the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (ii) will endeavor to
remain other than a disqualified organization for so long as it retains its
ownership interest in the Class R Certificates, and (iii) is acquiring the
Class
R Certificates for its own account or for the account of another Owner from
which it has received an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same
form
as this affidavit and agreement. (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 Xxxxxxx Mac, 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
rural 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. That
the
Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers of Class R
Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Code, that applies to
all
transfers of Class R Certificates after March 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 disqualified organization, 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 not a disqualified organization and, at the time of
transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false; and (iv) that the Class R Certificates may be “noneconomic residual
interests” within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to
the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain
liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest,
unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment
or
collection of tax.
4. That
the
Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding Class R
Certificates if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity
a
disqualified organization 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. That
the
Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the transfer of any Class
R
Certificates unless the transferee, or the transferee’s agent, delivers to it an
affidavit and agreement, among other things, in substantially the same form
as
this affidavit and agreement. 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. That
the
Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of the Class R
Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(f) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued (in particular,
clause (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(f) which authorize the Trustee
to
deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory
sale
by the Trustee in the event the Owner holds such Certificates in violation
of
Section 5.02(f)). The Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with
such restrictions and provisions.
7. That
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 not a disqualified organization.
8. The
Owner’s Taxpayer Identification Number is _____________________.
9. This
affidavit and agreement relates only to the Class R Certificates held by the
owner and not to any other holder of the Class R Certificates. The Owner
understands that the liabilities described herein relate only to the Class
R
Certificates.
10. That
no
purpose of the Owner relating to the transfer of any of the Class R Certificates
by the Owner is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any
tax.
11. That
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. In this regard, the Owner hereby represents to and for the benefit
of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificate that the Owner
intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R Certificate as they
become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess
of
any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificate.
12. That
the
Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will become insolvent
or
subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any of the Class R
Certificates remain outstanding.
13. 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, provided that with respect to any partnership
or other entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax
purposes, all persons that own an interest in such partnership either directly
or through any entity that is not a corporation for United States federal income
tax purposes are required by the applicable operative agreement to be United
States Persons, or an estate or trust whose income from sources without the
United States is includible 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.
14. (a)
The
Certificates (i) are not being acquired by, and will not be transferred to,
any
employee benefit plan within the meaning of section 3(3) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or other retirement
arrangement, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Xxxxx
plans
and bank collective investment funds and insurance company general or separate
accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested, that is
subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code
of
1986 (the “Code”) (any of the foregoing, a “Plan”), (ii) are not being acquired
with “plan assets” of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor
(“DOL”) regulation, 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 or otherwise under ERISA, and (iii)
will not be transferred to any entity that is deemed to be investing in plan
assets within the meaning of the DOL regulation, 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 or
otherwise under ERISA; or

otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The Seller hereby certifies, represents and warrants to, and
covenants with, the Company and the Trustee that:

Seller understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the Trustee and the
Master Servicer a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached to
the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit G-5. The Seller does not know or

of
the financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by Treasury Regulations

pay
its debts as they become due in the future. The Seller understands that the
transfer of the Certificates may not be respected for United States income
