This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated as of [____], 20__
(the "Agreement"), among MID-STATE CAPITAL CORPORATION, as depositor (the
"Depositor"), MID-STATE HOMES, INC., as a servicer ("Mid-State"), ▇▇▇▇▇▇
MORTGAGE COMPANY, as a servicer ("▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mortgage" and, together with Mid-State,
the "Servicers"), and [_______________], as trustee (the "Trustee").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates
(collectively, the "Certificates"), to be issued hereunder in multiple Classes,
which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in
the Trust Fund created hereunder. The Certificates will consist of seven Classes
of Certificates, designated as (i) the Class A-1 and Class A-2 Certificates,
(ii) the Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B Certificates, (iii) the Class CE
Certificates and (iv) the Class R Certificate.
As provided herein, the Trustee shall elect that the Trust Fund
(other than the Pre-Funding Account and Capitalized Interest Account) be treated
for federal income tax purposes as four separate real estate mortgage investment
conduits (each a "REMIC" or, in the alternative, "REMIC 1," "REMIC 2," "REMIC 3"
and "REMIC 4," respectively). The Class T4-A1IO, Class T4-A2IO, Class T4-M1IO,
Class T4-M2IO, Class T4-BIO, Class T4-4, Class T4-11, Class T4-12 and Class
T4-13 Interests (such interests, the "REMIC 4 Components"), the Class T4-A1,
Class T4-A2, Class T4-M1, Class T4-M2 and Class T4-B Interests represent all of
the "regular interests" in REMIC 4. Each Class of Offered Certificates
represents beneficial ownership of the corresponding REMIC 4 Regular Interest.
The Class CE Certificates represent beneficial ownership of the REMIC 4
Components. Each of the Class R-1, Class R-2, Class R-3 and Class R-4 Interests,
represented collectively by the Class R Certificate, represents the sole Class
of "residual interest" in REMIC 1, REMIC 2, REMIC 3 and REMIC 4, respectively,
for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. There are four Classes of uncertificated
REMIC 1 Regular Interests (the Class T1-1, Class T1-2, Class T1-3 and Class T1-4
Interests), seven Classes of uncertificated REMIC 2 Regular Interests (the Class
T2-1, Class T2-2, Class T2-3, Class T2-4, Class T2-11, Class T2-12 and Class
T2-13 Interests) and nine Classes of uncertificated REMIC 3 Regular Interest
(the Class T3-1, Class T3-2, Class T3-M1, Class T3-M2, Class T3-4, Class T3-11,
Class T3-11, Class T3-12 and Class T3-13 Interests). Each Class of REMIC 1
Regular Interests, REMIC 2 Regular Interest, REMIC 3 Regular Interests and REMIC
4 Regular Interests and Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests are "REMIC Regular
Interests." The REMIC 1 Regular Interests will be held as assets of REMIC 2, the
REMIC 2 Regular Interests will be held as assets of REMIC 3 and the REMIC 3
Regular Interests will be held as assets of REMIC 4. The "latest possible
maturity date" for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby
will be the Distribution Date in [___________] 20__.
The following table sets forth (or describes) the Class designation,
Pass-Through Rate and Original Class Certificate Principal Balance for each
Class of Certificates comprising the interests in the Trust Fund created
hereunder:

The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee an executed copy of
the Mortgage Asset Purchase Agreement.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by Trustee.
The Trustee acknowledges the receipt of, subject to the provisions
of Section 2.01, the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other
assets included in the definition of "Trust Fund" and declares that it holds and
will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a
Mortgage Asset File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such
other assets included in the definition of "Trust Fund" in trust for the
exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
Upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Trustee or the Servicers
(or upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such breach) of a
breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Depositor in
Section 2.04 below in respect of any Mortgage Asset which materially adversely
affects such Mortgage Asset or the interests of the related Certificateholders
in such Mortgage Asset, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice to the other parties.
The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and
transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Assets and the
Related Documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens and
encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee and that such property not be
part of the Depositor's estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any
insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be,
or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor
shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee, on behalf
of the Trust, a first priority perfected security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Assets and the
Related Documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under applicable law.
Section 2.03 Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Assets by the
Depositor.
(a) Upon discovery or receipt of written notice of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage Asset File
or of the breach by the Depositor of any representation or warranty in Section
2.04 below in respect of any Mortgage Asset which materially adversely affects
the value of such Mortgage Asset or the interest therein of the
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Depositor and the
Servicers of such defect, missing document or breach and request that, in the
case of a defective or missing document, the Depositor cure such defect or
deliver such missing document within 120 days from the date the Depositor was
notified of such missing document or defect or, in the case of a beach of a
representation or warranty, request the Depositor cure such breach within 90
days from the date the Depositor was notified of such breach. If the Depositor
does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or such breach in all
material respects during such period,
-36-
the Trustee shall enforce the Depositor's obligation and cause the Depositor to
repurchase such Mortgage Asset from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or
prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such period (subject
to Section 2.03(d)). The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Asset shall
be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written
notice from the applicable Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the
Depositor the related Mortgage Asset File and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the
Depositor shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Depositor
any Mortgage Asset released pursuant hereto and the Trustee shall have no
further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage Asset File. In lieu of
repurchasing any such Mortgage Asset as provided above, the Depositor may cause
such Mortgage Asset to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall
become a Defective Mortgage Asset) and substitute one or more Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Assets in the manner and subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 2.03(c). In addition to the foregoing, if the Purchase Price
for a repurchased Mortgage Asset does not fully compensate the Trust for any
costs or damages incurred by the Trust in connection with a breach of the
Depositor's representation set forth in Section 2.04(xiii) below with respect to
such repurchased Mortgage Asset, the Depositor shall reimburse the Trust the
amount necessary to fully compensate the Trust (the "Reimbursement Amount"). The
Reimbursement Amount shall be delivered to the applicable Servicer for deposit
into the Collection Account within 10 days from the date the Depositor was
notified by the Trustee of the Reimbursement Amount.
With respect to the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 2.04 below that are made to the best of the Depositor's knowledge or as
to which the Depositor has no knowledge, if it is discovered by the Depositor,
the Servicers or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and
warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the
value of the related Mortgage Asset or the interest therein of the
Certificateholders then, notwithstanding the Depositor's lack of knowledge with
respect to the substance of such representation and warranty being inaccurate at
the time the representation or warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be
deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in Section 2.04 below shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Asset
Files to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders
notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment. It is
understood and agreed that the obligations of the Depositor set forth in this
Section 2.03(a) to cure, substitute for or repurchase a Mortgage Asset and to
pay the Reimbursement Amount constitute the sole remedies available to the
Certificateholders and to the Trustee on their behalf respecting a breach of the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.04 below.
(b) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicers or
receipt of notice by the Servicers of the breach of any representation, warranty
or covenant of the Servicers set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Asset,
the applicable Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.
(c) Any substitution of Eligible Substitute Mortgage Assets for
Defective Mortgage Assets made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected
prior to the last Business
-37-
Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any Defective
Mortgage Asset for which the Depositor substitutes an Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Asset or Assets, such substitution shall be effected by the Depositor
delivering to the Trustee for such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Asset or Assets,
the Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents
and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by
Section 2.01, together with an Officers' Certificate providing that each such
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Asset satisfies the definition thereof and
specifying the Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described below), if any, in
connection with such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Assets in the month of substitution are not part of the
Trust Fund and will be retained by the Depositor. For the month of substitution,
distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the collections and recoveries
in respect of such Defective Mortgage Asset in the Collection Period or
Prepayment Period, as applicable, preceding the date of substitution and the
Depositor shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently
received in respect of such Defective Mortgage Asset. The Depositor shall amend
the Schedule of Mortgage Assets to reflect the removal of such Defective
Mortgage Asset from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Asset or Assets and shall deliver a copy of such
amended Schedule of Mortgage Assets to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, such
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Asset or Assets shall constitute part of the
Mortgage Asset Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this
Agreement including all applicable representations and warranties hereof as of
the date of substitution.
For any month in which the Depositor substitutes one or more
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Assets for one or more Defective Mortgage Assets,
the applicable Servicer or Servicers will determine the amount (the
"Substitution Adjustment Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price
of all such Defective Mortgage Assets exceeds the aggregate, as to each such
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Asset, of the principal balance thereof as of the
date of substitution, together with one month's finance charges on such
principal balance at the applicable Net Coupon Rate. On the date of such
substitution, the Depositor will deliver or cause to be delivered to the
applicable Servicer or Servicers for deposit in the Collection Account an amount
equal to the Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of the related Eligible Substitute Mortgage Asset or Assets and notice
by the applicable Servicer or Servicers of such deposit, shall release to the
Depositor the related Mortgage Asset File or Files and shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as
the Depositor shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any
Defective Mortgage Asset released pursuant hereto.
(d) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Servicers or the Trustee
that any Mortgage Asset does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall
within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In
connection therewith, the Depositor shall repurchase or, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c), substitute one or more Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Assets for the affected Mortgage Asset within 90 days of the
earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected
Mortgage Asset. In addition, upon discovery that a Mortgage Asset is defective
in a manner that would cause it to be a "defective obligation" within the
meaning of Treasury regulations relating to REMICs, the Depositor shall cure the
defect or make the required purchase or substitution no later than 90
-38-
days after the discovery of the defect. Any such repurchase or substitution
shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a). The Trustee
shall reconvey to the Depositor the Mortgage Asset to be released pursuant
hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a
Mortgage Asset repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.

Servicer of this Agreement are within the corporate power of each Servicer
and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
part of each Servicer. Neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated,
nor compliance with the provisions hereof, will conflict with or result in
a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of any
law, governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on

Servicer, or any of the provisions of any indenture, mortgage, contract or
other instrument to which each Servicer is a party or by which it is bound
or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance
upon any of its property pursuant to the terms of any such indenture,
mortgage, contract or other instrument (or if such conflict with, breach
of or default under any such indenture, mortgage, contract or other
instrument exists or will exist, any remedies in respect thereof and in
respect of any such related lien, charge or encumbrance have been stayed
under the Bankruptcy Code).
(iii) The execution, delivery and performance by each Servicer of
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby do not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to,
the registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of,
any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency, except as

(iv) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each
Servicer and constitutes a legal, valid and binding instrument enforceable
against each Servicer in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally.
-42-
(v) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the
knowledge of each Servicer, threatened or likely to be asserted against or
affecting each Servicer, before or by any court, administrative agency,
arbitrator or governmental body with respect to any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the Indenture, or which will, if
determined adversely to each Servicer, materially and adversely affect it
or its business, assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise,
or adversely affect each Servicer's ability to perform its obligations
under this Agreement. Each Servicer is not in default with respect to any
order of any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body
so as to materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated by
the above-mentioned documents.
(vi) Each Servicer has obtained or made all necessary consents,
approvals, waivers and notifications of stockholders, creditors, lessors

covenants set forth in this Section 2.05 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage

representations, warranties and covenants which materially and adversely affects
the value of any Mortgage Asset or the interests therein of the
Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice (but in no event later than two Business Days following such discovery)

error, the Trustee shall not be liable therefor, and the Depositor shall
immediately repay such amounts to the Trustee.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE TRUST FUND
Section 3.01 Servicers to Act as Servicers.
The Servicers, as independent contract servicers, shall service and
administer the Mortgage Assets in accordance with this Agreement and the normal
and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers servicing similar
mortgage assets and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same
manner in which they service and administer similar mortgage assets for their
own portfolios, and shall have full power and authority to do or cause to be
done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration
which the Servicers may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the
terms of this Agreement (the "Servicing Standard").
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicers may
waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Asset or consent to the
postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant
indulgence to any Obligor if in a Servicer's reasonable and prudent
determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not
materially adverse to the Certificateholders; provided, however, that the
Servicers shall not make future advances and, except as set forth in the
following sentence or Section 3.03, the Servicers shall not permit any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Asset that would (i) change the Coupon
Rate, defer or forgive the payment thereof of any principal payments or finance
charges, reduce the outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of
principal) or extend the final maturity date with respect to such Mortgage
Asset, (ii) affect adversely the status of any REMIC constituting part of the
Trust Fund as a REMIC or (iii) cause any such REMIC to be subject to a tax on
"prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
In the event that the Obligor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Asset
or such default is, in the judgment of a Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, a
Servicer may permit a modification of such Mortgage Asset to reduce the
Principal Balance thereof and/or extend the term, but not beyond the latest
maturity date of any other Mortgage Asset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Asset
that would both (x) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Asset
under Section 1.860G-2(b) of the Treasury Regulations and (y) cause any REMIC
constituting part of the Trust Fund to
-47-
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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Servicer
shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on
behalf of itself, and the Trustee, all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Assets and with respect to the
Mortgaged Property. The Servicers shall make all required Servicing Advances and
shall service and administer the Mortgage Assets in accordance with Applicable
Regulations, and shall provide to the Obligors any reports required to be
provided to them thereby. The Trustee shall execute and deliver to a Servicer
within at least fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt, upon request, any powers
of attorney furnished to it by such Servicer empowering such Servicer to execute
and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full
release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate any Mortgaged
Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the
Mortgage Assets or the Mortgaged Properties, in accordance with this Agreement,
and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents as such Servicer
may request, necessary or appropriate to enable such Servicer to service and
administer the Mortgage Assets and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case
in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and the Trustee shall have no
liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by such Servicer).
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, a Servicer shall not
without the Trustee's written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or
proceeding solely under the Trustee's name without indicating such Servicer's
representative capacity, or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and
which results in, the Trustee being registered to do business in any state.
In servicing and administering the Mortgage Assets, the Servicers
shall employ procedures including collection procedures and exercise the same
care that they customarily employ and exercise in servicing and administering
mortgage assets for their own account giving due consideration to accepted
mortgage servicing practices of prudent mortgage servicing institutions and the
Certificateholders' reliance on the Servicers.
A Servicer shall give prompt notice to the Trustee of any action, of
which a Servicer has actual knowledge, to (i) assert a claim against the Trust
Fund or (ii) assert jurisdiction over the Trust Fund.
Section 3.02 Collection of Mortgage Asset Payments.
Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and finance
charges on all Mortgage Assets are paid in full or as long as the Mortgage
Assets remain subject to this Agreement, the Servicers will diligently collect
all payments due under each Mortgage Asset when the same shall become due and
payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this
Agreement and Applicable Regulations, follow such collection procedures as they
follow with respect to mortgage assets comparable to the Mortgage Assets and
held for their own accounts. Further, the Servicers will take special care in
ascertaining and estimating on escrowed Mortgage Assets annual ground rents,
taxes, assessments, water rates, fire and hazard insurance premiums, mortgage
insurance premiums, and all other charges that, as provided in the Mortgage,
will become due and payable to that end that the installments payable by the
Obligors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when they become due and
payable.
-48-
Section 3.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Assets.
In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Asset is not
paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Obligor fails to
perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Asset and such
failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, a Servicer shall take such
action as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders.
With respect to any defaulted Mortgage Asset, a Servicer shall have the right to
review the status of the related forbearance plan and, subject to the second
paragraph of Section 3.01, may modify such forbearance plan; including extending
the Mortgage Asset repayment date for a period of one year or reducing the
Coupon Rate up to 50 basis points.
In connection with a foreclosure or other conversion, a Servicer
shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it hereunder and use the same
degree of care and skill in its exercise as prudent mortgage servicers would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of their own affairs and
consistent with Applicable Regulations and the Servicing Standards, including,
without limitation, advancing funds for the payment of taxes and insurance
premiums.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03, with
respect to any Mortgage Asset as to which a Servicer has received actual notice
of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance
on the related Mortgaged Property, a Servicer shall not either (i) obtain title
to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action
with respect to, such Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the
Trust would be considered to hold title to, to be a mortgagee-in-possession of,
or to be an owner or operator of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless a Servicer has
also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a prudent
report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using
customary industry standards, that:
A. such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of
the Certificateholders to take such actions as are necessary to bring the
Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and
B. there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property
relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances,
hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which
investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could
be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any
such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it
would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders to take such
actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this
Section 3.03 shall be advanced by the applicable Servicer, subject to such
Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as
provided in Section 3.05(iii).
-49-
If a Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best
economic interest of the Certificateholders to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
such Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic
interest of the Certificateholders. The cost of any such compliance,
containment, clean-up or remediation shall be advanced by such Servicer, subject
to such Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account
as provided in Section 3.05(iii).
Section 3.04 Collection Account and Distribution Account.
(a) The Servicers shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received pursuant to each Mortgage Asset separate and apart from any of their
own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more
Collection Accounts. Each Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account.
The Servicers shall deposit in the Collection Account on a daily basis
within two business days of receipt, and retain therein, the following payments
and collections received after the Cut-off Date, Additional Transfer Date or
date of substitution (with respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Asset)
with respect to the Mortgage Assets:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Assets;
(ii) all payments on account of finance charges on the Mortgage
Assets, net of the Servicing Fee;
(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds;
(v) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which
are not released to the Obligor in accordance with the Servicers' normal
servicing procedures, the mortgage asset documents or applicable law; and
(vi) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicers in
connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 3.13.
Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Collection Account,
subject to Section 3.25, shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicers and each
Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw its share of such interest
from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(iv). The foregoing
requirements for deposit from the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it
being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, bad check fees,
Prepayment Charges, assumption fees and other similar fees need not be deposited
by the Servicers in the Collection Account. Amounts deposited in the Collection
Account in error may be withdrawn by the applicable Servicer at any time.
-50-
(b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish and
maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the "Distribution
Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. On behalf of
the Trust Fund, the Servicers shall deliver to the Trustee in immediately
available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account by 1:00 p.m. New York
time on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Funds
(calculated without regard to the references in the definition thereof to
amounts that may be deposited to the Distribution Account from a different
source as provided herein) then on deposit in the Collection Account. Amounts in
the Distribution Account shall be deemed to be held on behalf of the related
REMICs in accordance with the REMIC distributions set forth in Section 4.08. The
Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw from the Distribution Account any amounts
owing to it pursuant to Section 8.05 and Section 9.01(c) prior to the
distribution of any amounts on deposit to the Certificateholders; provided,
however, in the case of amounts owing to it other than the Trustee Fee, the
Trustee shall provide the Depositor and the Servicers with a written account of
such amounts five Business Days prior to withdrawing such funds.
(c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may
be invested in Eligible Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth
in Section 3.25. The Servicers shall give notice to the Trustee of the location
of the Collection Account or Collection Accounts maintained by them when
established and prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to
the Servicers and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account when
established and prior to any change thereof.
(d) In the event a Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit
in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it
may at any time request that the Trustee withdraw such amount from the
Distribution Account and remit to such Servicer any such amount, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicers shall deliver
to the Trustee from time to time for deposit, and the Trustee shall so deposit,
in the Distribution Account in respect of REMIC 1:
(i) any Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal
bankruptcy court having jurisdiction in such matters;
(ii) any amounts required to be deposited in the Distribution
Account by the Servicers pursuant to Sections 2.03, 3.04, 3.13,
3.15, 3.16, 3.23, 3.24, 4.07 or 10.01; and
(iii) any amounts required to be deposited by a Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.11 in connection with the deductible clause in
any blanket hazard insurance policy, such deposit being made from
such Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement therefor.
(e) Promptly upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from a
Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy, or federal bankruptcy court or other source,
the Trustee shall notify the applicable Servicer of such receipt and deposit
such funds in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal thereof as
permitted hereunder. In addition, the Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution
Account any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.25(b) in
connection with losses realized on Eligible Investments with respect to funds
held in the Distribution Account.
-51-
Section 3.05 Permitted Withdrawals From the Collection Account.
A Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw from the Collection
Account for the following purposes:
(i) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account
the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.04(b) or
permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first sentence of Section
3.04(d);
(ii) to reimburse itself for Servicing Advances to the extent of
amounts received on the related Mortgage Asset which represent payments of
Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds
respecting which any such Servicing Advance was made;
(iii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances to the
extent that such amounts are deemed to be Nonrecoverable Advances and any
unpaid Servicing Fees to the extent that such amounts are nonrecoverable
from the disposition of REO Property pursuant to Section 3.13 hereof;
(iv) to reimburse itself for any amounts paid or expenses incurred
pursuant to Section 3.03 (and not otherwise previously reimbursed);
(v) to pay to itself as servicing compensation (a) its share of any
interest earned on funds in the Collection Account (all such interest to
be withdrawn monthly not later than each Servicer Remittance Date) and (b)
the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to
interest to a particular Mortgage Asset to the extent not retained
pursuant to Section 3.04(ii);
(vi) to pay or reimburse itself for any amounts payable or paid
pursuant to Section 6.03 (and not otherwise previously reimbursed); and
(vii) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the termination
of this Agreement.
The foregoing requirements for withdrawal from the Collection

Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at
any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 3.06 Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow
Accounts.
The Servicers shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received pursuant to each Mortgage Asset which constitute Escrow Payments
separate and apart from any of their own funds and general assets and shall
establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit
or demand accounts. A copy of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the
Trustee upon request. The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account.
-52-
The Servicers shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts on a
daily basis within two Business Days of receipt, and retain therein all Escrow
Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Assets, for the purpose of
effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this
Agreement. The Servicers shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such
payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as
shall be set forth in, or in accordance with, Section 3.07. The Servicers shall
be entitled to retain any interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account
by the depository institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by
law to be paid to the Obligor and, to the extent required by the related
Mortgage Asset or Applicable Regulations, the Servicers shall pay interest on
escrowed funds to the Obligor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is
non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such
purposes.
Section 3.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.
Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Servicers (i)
to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates,
mortgage insurance premiums, fire, flood and hazard insurance premiums and
comparable items in a manner and at a time that assures that the lien priority
of the Mortgage is not jeopardized (or, with respect to the payment of taxes, in
a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a
tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien), (ii) to reimburse a
Servicer for any Servicing Advance made by such Servicer with respect to a
related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage
Asset which represent late payments or Late Collections of Escrow Payments
thereunder with respect to taxes and assessments and with respect to hazard
insurance, (iii) to refund to the Obligor any funds as may be determined to be
overages, (iv) for transfer to the Collection Account in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, (v) to pay to a Servicer, or to the Obligor to the
extent required by the related Mortgage Asset or Applicable Regulations, any
interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account or (vi) to clear and
terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement.
In the event a Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account any
amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such
amount from the Escrow Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 3.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges;
Collections Thereunder.
The Servicers shall maintain accurate records reflecting the
status of taxes, assessments and other charges which are or may become a lien
upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of fire, flood and hazard
insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the
payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall use their best
efforts to determine that any such payments are made by the Obligor at the
time they first become due. If any such payment has not been made and a
Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage being
imposed, such Servicer will, promptly and to the extent required to avoid
loss of the Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds
necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property.
-53-
Section 3.09 Transfer of Accounts.
The Servicers may transfer the Collection Account to a different
depository institution from time to time. Upon such transfer, the Servicers
shall deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor, a certification or letter
agreement, as the case may be, as required pursuant to Sections 3.04 and 3.06.
Section 3.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
The Servicers shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Asset
fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area
where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to
the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or
loss to the improvements which are a part of such property on an actual cash
value basis or (ii) the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Asset, in each case in
an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Obligor
and/or the Trust Fund from becoming a co-insurer. The Servicers shall also
maintain on the REO Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders, (x) fire
and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal
to the lesser of (i) 100% of the actual cash value of the improvements securing
the Mortgage Asset and (ii) the outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Asset at the time it became an REO Property and (y) public liability insurance.
Any Insurance Proceeds collected by the Servicers under any such policies shall
be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 3.05. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional
insurance is required to be maintained by the Servicers or the Obligor or
maintained on property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Asset, other than
pursuant to such Applicable Regulations as shall at any time be in force and as
shall require such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed
with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the applicable Servicer and
shall provide for at least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation,
reduction in the amount of or material change in coverage to such Servicer.
Section 3.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance
Policy.
In the event that a Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket
policy issued by an insurer that has a general policy rating of B:III or better
in Best's Key Rating Guide, or is an affiliate of such Servicer, insuring
against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Assets serviced by such Servicer,
then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the
amount required pursuant to Section 3.10 and otherwise complies with all other
requirements of Section 3.10 (other than the requirement of a general policy
rating of B:III or better in Best's Key Rating Guide), it shall conclusively be
deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 3.10, it being
understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which
case such Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained
on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with
Section 3.10, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by
such policy, deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause, which amount shall not be reimbursable to such Servicer from the Trust
Fund. In connection with their activities as servicers of the Mortgage Assets,
the Servicers agree to prepare and present, on behalf of the Trustee, claims
under any such blanket
-54-
policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. Upon
request of the Trustee, the Servicers shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee
a certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder
that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without
thirty days prior written notice to the Trustee.
Section 3.12 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.
Each Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity
bond (the "Fidelity Bond") and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with
broad coverage with financially responsible companies on all officers, employees
or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Assets to
handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Assets. The
Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure such
Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors
and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. Such Fidelity Bond shall also
protect and insure such Servicer against losses in connection with the failure
to maintain any insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the
release or satisfaction of a Mortgage Asset without having obtained payment in
full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 3.12
requiring the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or
relieve the Servicers from their duties and obligations as set forth in this
Agreement. Upon request of the Trustee, a Servicer shall cause to be delivered
to the requesting party a certified true copy of the Fidelity Bond and errors
and omissions insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the insurer
that such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy shall in no
event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days' prior written
notice to the Trustee.
Section 3.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
(a) In the event that title to a Mortgaged Property is acquired in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be taken (pursuant to a limited power of attorney to be provided by the
Trustee to a Servicer) in the name of the Trustee or its nominee, on behalf of
the Certificateholders, or in the event the Trustee is not authorized or
permitted to hold title to real property in the state where the REO Property is
located, or would be adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws
of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be
taken in the name of an affiliate of the Servicers. Such affiliate holding such
title shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for
the benefit of the Trustee.
(b) In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Asset, the applicable Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property
before the end of the third taxable year beginning after the year of its
acquisition by the Trust Fund for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code
unless such Servicer has received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue
Service of the above-mentioned grace period such that the holding by the Trust
Fund of such REO Property subsequent to such period will not: (i) result in the
imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of
the Code; or (ii) cause any REMIC constituting any part of the Trust Fund to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in
which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such REO Property.
-55-
Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations as shall
at any time be in force, and notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or
allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust
Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would: (i) cause such REO
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code; or (ii) subject any REMIC constituting part of
the Trust Fund to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income
earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Sections
860F or 860G(c) of the Code, unless the applicable Servicer has agreed to
indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any
such taxes.
Each Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO
Property for the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund solely for the purpose of
its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the related REMIC of
any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section
860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property" which
is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. Each Servicer shall cause
each REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto
and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least annually thereafter.
Each Servicer shall make or cause to be made a written or electronic report of
each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the Mortgage Asset File
or kept by the applicable Servicer electronically and copies thereof shall be
forwarded by the applicable Servicer to the Trustee upon request. A Servicer
shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same) on such terms
and conditions as such Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the
Certificateholders and the Trust Fund.
With respect to each REO Property, each Servicer shall account
separately for each REO Property with respect to all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of such REO Property.
Each Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily
basis, within two business days of receipt, in the Collection Account, all
revenues received with respect to each REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom
funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the
related REO Property, including the cost of maintaining any hazard insurance
pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof.
[Each Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee, on each Servicer
Remittance Date, an operating statement for each REO Property covering the
operation of each REO Property for the previous month. Such operating statement
shall be accompanied by such other information as the Trustee shall reasonably
request.]
Each Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO
Property as promptly as is practically consistent with protecting the
Certificateholders' interests.
Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by a Servicer at such
price and upon such terms and conditions as such Servicer deems to be in the
best interest of the Certificateholders. If as of the date title to any REO
Property was acquired by a Servicer there
-56-
were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees with respect
to the REO Property, such Servicer, upon an REO Disposition of such REO
Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees from proceeds received in connection with
such REO Disposition. The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payment
to such Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Collection Account
for transfer to the Distribution Account on the succeeding Servicer Remittance
Date in accordance with Section 3.04(a)(vi).
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).
Section 3.14 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and Substitution
Agreements.
When a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the
Obligor, a Servicer may, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance or
prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the
related Mortgage Asset under any "due-on-sale" clause contained in the related
Mortgage or Note; provided, however, that a Servicer shall not exercise any such
right if the "due-on-sale" clause, in the reasonable belief of such Servicer, is
not enforceable under applicable law. In such event, a Servicer shall make
reasonable efforts to enter into an assumption and modification agreement with
the Person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant
to which such Person becomes liable under the Note and, unless prohibited by
applicable law or the Mortgage, the Obligor remains liable thereon. If the
foregoing is not permitted under applicable law, a Servicer is authorized to
enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to
which the original Obligor is released from liability and such Person is
substituted as Obligor and becomes liable under the Note; provided that no such
substitution will be permitted unless such person satisfies the underwriting
criteria of such Servicer. The Mortgage Asset, as assumed, shall conform in all
respects to the requirements, representations and warranties of this Agreement.
A Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and modification
agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable under the circumstances)
it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued effectiveness
of any applicable hazard insurance policy. A Servicer shall notify the Trustee
that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by
forwarding to the Trustee the original copy of such assumption or substitution
agreement (indicating the Mortgage Asset File to which it relates) which copy
shall be added by the Trustee to the related Mortgage Asset File and which
shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage Asset File to the
same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
The Servicers shall be responsible for recording any such assumption or
substitution agreements. In connection with any such assumption or substitution
agreement, the Monthly Payment on the related Mortgage Asset shall not be
changed but shall remain as in effect immediately prior to the assumption or
substitution, the stated maturity or outstanding principal amount of such
Mortgage Asset shall not be changed nor shall any required monthly payments of
principal or interest be deferred or forgiven. Any fee collected by a Servicer
for consenting to any such conveyance or entering into an assumption or
substitution agreement shall be retained by or paid to such Servicer as
additional servicing compensation.
-57-
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of
this Agreement, a 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 Asset by operation of law or any assumption which such Servicer may be
restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
Section 3.15 Notification of Adjustments.
On each Adjustment Date, each Servicer shall make Coupon Rate
adjustments for each Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Asset in compliance with the
requirements of the related Mortgage and Note and Applicable Regulations. The
Servicers shall execute and deliver the notices required by each Mortgage and
Note and Applicable Regulations regarding Coupon Rate adjustments. Upon the
discovery by a Servicer or the Trustee that a Servicer has failed to adjust or
has incorrectly adjusted a Coupon Rate or a Monthly Payment pursuant to the
terms of the related Note and Mortgage, such Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of
any interest loss caused thereby without reimbursement therefor; provided,
however, such Servicer shall be held harmless with respect to any Mortgage
Interest Rate adjustments made by any servicer prior to the such Servicer.
Section 3.16 Optional Purchases of Mortgage Assets by a
Servicer.
A Servicer may, at its option, purchase a Mortgage Asset or REO
Property which becomes 90 or more days Delinquent or for which such Servicer has
accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Servicers shall not use any
procedure in selecting Mortgage Assets to be purchased which is materially
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders. A Servicer shall purchase
such Delinquent Mortgage Asset or REO Property at a price equal to the Purchase
Price. A Servicer will not be entitled to any Servicing Fee with respect to any
such purchased Mortgage Asset. Any such purchase of a Mortgage Asset or REO
Property pursuant to this Section 3.16 shall be accomplished by delivery to the
Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account of the amount of the Purchase
Price. The Trustee shall immediately effectuate the conveyance of such
delinquent Mortgage Asset or REO Property to the applicable Servicer to the
extent necessary, including the prompt delivery of all documentation to the such
Servicer.
Section 3.17 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Asset (including any
liquidation of such Mortgage Asset through foreclosure or otherwise), a Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee, in written form (with two executed copies) or
electronic form, of a completed "Request for Release" in the form of Exhibit E.
Upon receipt of such Request for Release of documents, the Trustee shall
promptly release the related Mortgage Asset File within three (3) Business Days
via overnight mail delivery (at the expense of the requesting Servicer), in
trust, to (i) such Servicer, or (ii) such other party identified in the related
Request for Release. The Trustee agrees to indemnify the applicable Servicer,
out of its own funds, for any loss, liability or expense (other than special,
indirect, punitive or consequential damages which will not be paid by the
Trustee) incurred by the such Servicer as a direct result of the negligence or
willful misconduct by the Trustee in releasing the Mortgage Asset File as
provided above. Upon any such payment in full, or the receipt of such
notification that such funds have been placed in
-58-
escrow, the Trustee hereby authorizes and empowers the applicable Servicer to
execute an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of Mortgage without
recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property relating to such Mortgage, which
instrument of satisfaction or assignment shall be delivered to the Person or
Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of payment in full.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate in the servicing of any
Mortgage Asset, including, without limitation, foreclosure or other comparable
conversion of a Mortgage Asset or collection under any insurance policy relating
to a Mortgage Asset, the Trustee shall (except in the case of the payment or
liquidation pursuant to which the related Mortgage Asset File is released to an
escrow agent or an employee, agent or attorney of the Trustee), upon written
request of a Servicer and delivery to the Trustee, in written form (with two
executed copies) or electronic form, of a "Request for Release" in the form of
Exhibit E signed by a Servicing Officer, release the related Mortgage Asset File
to the requesting Servicer within three (3) Business Days and shall execute such
documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings,
including, without limitation, an assignment without recourse of the related
Mortgage to such Servicer. Such receipt shall obligate such Servicer to return
the Mortgage Asset File to the Trustee when the need therefor by such Servicer
no longer exists unless the Mortgage Asset shall be liquidated, in which case,
upon receipt of a Request for Release evidencing such liquidation, the receipt
shall be released by the Trustee to such Servicer.
(c) Subject to Section 3.01, a Servicer shall have the right to
accept applications of Obligors for consent to (i) partial releases of
Mortgages, (ii) alterations, (iii) removal, demolition or division of properties
subject to Mortgages, (iv) modifications, and (v) second mortgage subordination
agreements. No application for approval shall be considered by a Servicer
unless: (w) it has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee
(which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund) that
such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution will not
affect adversely the status of any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund as
a REMIC or cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to be subject to
a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions; (x) the provisions of the related Note and Mortgage have been
complied with; (y) the Loan-to-Value Ratio (in the case of a Mortgage Loan) and
debt-to-income ratio after any release does not exceed the maximum Loan-to-Value
Ratio (in the case of a Mortgage Loan) and debt-to-income ratio established in
accordance with the underwriting standards of the Mortgage Assets; and (z) the
lien priority of the related Mortgage is not affected. Upon receipt by the
Trustee of a Servicing Officer's certificate setting forth the action proposed
to be taken in respect of a particular Mortgage Asset and certifying that the
criteria set forth in the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied,
the Trustee shall execute and deliver to a Servicer the consent or partial
release so requested by such Servicer. A proposed form of consent or partial
release, as the case may be, shall accompany any Servicing Officer's certificate
delivered by a Servicer pursuant to this paragraph.
Section 3.18 Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for their activities hereunder, each Servicer shall
be entitled to retain the amount of the Servicing Fee with respect to each
Mortgage Asset (including REO Properties) serviced by it. Each Servicer shall be
entitled to retain additional servicing
-59-
compensation in the form of release fees, bad check charges, assumption fees,
modification or extension fees, late payment charges, Prepayment Charges or any
other service-related fees and similar items, to the extent collected from
Obligors.
Section 3.19 Annual Statement as to Compliance.
(a) Each Servicer, at its own expense, will deliver to the Trustee
and the Depositor, not later than 60 days following the end of each calendar
year, a Servicing Officer's certificate stating, as to each signer thereof, that
(i) a review of the activities of such Servicer during such preceding fiscal
year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers'
supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such
review, such Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement for
such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of all such
obligations, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature
and status thereof including the steps being taken by such Servicer to remedy
such default.
(b) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the
Trustee is for informational purposes only and their receipt of such shall not
constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or
determinable, from information contained therein, including a Servicer's
compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is
entitled to rely exclusively on Officers' Certificates).
Section 3.20 Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants'
Reports.
(a) Not later than 60 days following the end of each calendar year,
each Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of
independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Trustee, the
Depositor and each Rating Agency, a report stating that (i) it has obtained a
letter of representation regarding certain matters from the management of such
Servicer which includes an assertion that such Servicer has complied with
certain minimum residential mortgage asset servicing standards, identified in
either the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established
by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America or the Audit Program for
Mortgages serviced by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac, with respect to the servicing of residential
mortgage assets during the most recently completed fiscal year and (ii) on the
basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such
representation is fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such
exceptions and other qualifications that may be appropriate. Copies of such
statements shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon
request, provided that such statement is delivered by the applicable Servicer to
the Trustee.
(b) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the
Trustee is for informational purposes only and their receipt of such shall not
constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or
determinable from information contained therein, including a Servicer's
compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is
entitled to rely exclusively on Officers' Certificates).
-60-
Section 3.21 Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Mortgage Assets.
Each Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, Certificateholders that
are federally insured savings and loan associations, the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of each of the
foregoing (which, in the case of supervisory agents and examiners, may be
required by applicable state and federal regulations) access to the available
documentation regarding the Mortgage Assets, such access being afforded without
charge but only upon reasonable advance request and during normal business hours
at the offices of such Servicer.
Section 3.22 Capitalized Interest Account and Pre-Funding

set forth in Section 2.08 hereof and the related Additional Transfer Agreement,
the Trustee shall withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account an amount equal to the
purchase price for the Additional Mortgage Assets purchased by the Trust on such
Additional Transfer Date and pay such amount upon the order of the Depositor.
(f) On the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date immediately

(g) On the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, through the
Distribution Date immediately following the Collection Period in which the

Section 3.23 [RESERVED].
Section 3.24 Obligations of the Servicers in Respect of Coupon
Rates and Monthly Payments.
In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with
respect to any Mortgage Asset results from or is attributable to adjustments to
Coupon Rates, Monthly Payments or Principal Balances that were made by a
Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Note and this
Agreement, such Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof,
immediately shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account
from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor, the other Servicer and any
successor servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall
survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Section 3.24 shall not limit the ability of a Servicer to seek
recovery of any such amounts from the related Obligor under the terms of the
related Note, as permitted by law.
Section 3.25 Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and
the Distribution Account.
(a) The Servicers may direct any depository institution maintaining
the Collection Account and the Trustee may direct any depository institution
maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of this Section 3.25, each an
"Investment Account"), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or
more Eligible Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing,
unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such
account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee is the
obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are
required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the
Trustee is the obligor thereon or if such investment is managed or advised by
the Trustee of an Affiliate. All such Eligible Investments shall be held to
maturity,
-62-
unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall
be made in the name of the Trustee or the Servicers, as applicable (in their
capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall
be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment direction of
funds held in the Collection Account) over each such investment and the income
thereon, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment
shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent, together with any
document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the
Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account
are at any time invested in an Eligible Investment payable on demand, the
Trustee shall at the direction of the Servicers:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given
thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the
last day such Eligible Investment may otherwise mature
hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all
amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount
required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly
upon determination by a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee that such Eligible Investment would not
constitute an Eligible Investment in respect of funds
thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.
(b) Each Servicer's share of all income and gain realized from the
investment of funds in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of such
Servicer. Each Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account its share of the
amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Eligible Investment made with
funds in such account immediately upon realization of such loss. All income and
gain realized from the investment of funds in the Distribution Account shall be
for the benefit of the Trustee. The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution
Account the amount of any loss incurred on Eligible Investments in the
Distribution Account.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Eligible Investment, or
if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Eligible
Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v),
upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing more than 51% of
the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action

Section 3.26 Liability of Servicers; Indemnification.
(a) Subject to clause (b) below and Section 6.03, each Servicer
(except the Trustee if it is required to succeed a Servicer hereunder) severally
indemnifies and holds the Trustee, the Depositor and the Trust Fund harmless
against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses
that the Trustee, the Depositor and the Trust Fund may sustain in any way
related to the failure of such Servicer to perform its duties and service the
Mortgage Assets in compliance with the Servicing Standard. Each Servicer shall
immediately notify the Trustee and the Depositor if a claim is made that may
result in such claims, losses, penalties, fines,
-63-
forfeitures, legal fees or related costs, judgments, or any other costs, fees
and expenses, and such Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the Trustee)
the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith,
including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any
judgment or decree which may be entered against such Servicer, the Trustee, the
Depositor and/or the Trust Fund in respect of such claim. The provisions of this
Section 3.26 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of
the outstanding Certificates.
(b) None of the Depositor, a Servicer, or any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or a 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 a Servicer or any such Person against any
breach of warranties or representations made by such party herein, or against
any specific liability imposed on a Servicer for a breach of the Servicing
Standard and/or this Agreement, or against any liability which would otherwise
be imposed by reason of its respective willful misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or
negligence in the performance of its duties or by reasons of negligent disregard
of its respective obligations or duties hereunder.
The Depositor, a Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Depositor or a Servicer, may rely in good faith on any document of
any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any
appropriate Person with respect to any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor,
a Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or a
Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust 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
incurred in connection with any legal action incurred by reason of its
respective misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence, a breach of a
representation or warranty made by such party hereunder or (in the case of a
Servicer) a breach of the Servicing Standard in the performance of its
respective duties or by reason of negligent disregard of its respective
obligations or duties hereunder. None of the Depositor or a Servicer shall be
under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless
such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and in its
opinion does not expose it to any expense or liability; provided, however, that
the Depositor or a Servicer may in their discretion undertake any action related
to their obligations hereunder which they 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. A Servicer's right to
indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section shall survive any
resignation or termination of such Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01
with respect to any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such
resignation or termination (or arising from events that occurred prior to such
resignation or termination).
Section 3.27 Reports of Foreclosure and Abandonment of Mortgaged
Properties.
Beginning in 20__, each Servicer shall file the reports of
foreclosure and abandonment of any Mortgaged Property required by Section
6050J of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service on or before the due date
for any such report. Not later than 90 days following
-64-
the end of each calendar year, beginning in 20__, each Servicer will deliver an
Officer's Certificate to the Trustee certifying its compliance with this Section
3.27. The reports from each Servicer shall be in form and substance sufficient
to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Section 6050J.
Section 3.28 Protection of Assets.

connection with the securitization that is the subject of this Agreement, the

(1) borrow money or issue debt;
(2) merge with another entity, reorganize, liquidate or sell
assets; or

have been paid.
Section 3.29 [RESERVED].
Section 3.30 No Personal Solicitation.
From and after the Closing Date, each Servicer agrees that it will
not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its
agents and Affiliates, or by any independent contractors or independent mortgage
brokerage companies on such Servicer's behalf, to personally, by telephone, mail
or electronic mail, solicit the Obligor under any Mortgage Asset for the purpose
of refinancing such Mortgage Asset; provided, that such Servicer may solicit any
Obligor for whom such Servicer has received a request for verification of
mortgage, a request for demand for payoff, an Obligor initiated written or
verbal communication indicating a desire to prepay the related Mortgage Asset,
or the Obligor initiates a title search; provided further, it is understood and
agreed that promotions undertaken by each Servicer or any of its Affiliates
which (i) concern optional insurance products or other additional products or
(ii) are directed to the general public at large, including, without limitation,
mass mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio and
television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation under this Section,
nor is such Servicer prohibited from responding to unsolicited requests or
inquiries made by an Obligor or an agent of an Obligor.
Section 3.31 Periodic Filings.
(a) The Trustee and the Servicers shall reasonably cooperate with
the Depositor in connection with the Trust's satisfying its reporting
requirements under the Exchange Act. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any monthly Current
Reports on Form 8-K (each, a "Monthly Form 8-K") and Annual Reports on Form 10-K
(each, a "Form 10-K") customary for similar securities as required by the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
-65-
Commission thereunder, and the Trustee shall sign (other than any Form 10-K) and
file (via the Securities and Exchange Commission's Electronic Data Gathering and
Retrieval System) such Forms on behalf of the Trust. The Depositor shall sign
any Form 10-K.
(b) Each Monthly Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15
days after each Distribution Date, including a copy of the Distribution Date
Statement for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to March 30th
of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission), the
Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or
applicable Securities and Exchange Commission staff's interpretations. Such Form
10-K shall include as exhibits the Servicers' annual statements of compliance
described under Section 3.19 and the accountant's reports described under
Section 3.20, in each case, to the extent they have been timely delivered to the
Trustee. If they are not so timely delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended
Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they
are delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect
to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from
or relating to the Trustee's inability or failure to obtain any information not
resulting from its own negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Form
10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K
(the "Certification"), which shall be signed by a senior officer of the
Depositor in charge of securitization. The Depositor shall deliver the
Certification to the Trustee three (3) Business Days prior to the latest date on
which the Form 10-K may be timely filed. The Trustee, the Depositor and the
Servicers shall reasonably cooperate to enable the Securities and Exchange
Commission requirements with respect to the Trust to be met in the event that
the Securities and Exchange Commission issues additional interpretive guidelines
or promulgates rules or regulations, or in the event of any other change of law
that would require reporting arrangements or the allocation of responsibilities
with respect thereto, as described in this Section 3.31, to be conducted or
allocated in a different manner.
(c) Prior to the latest date on which the Form 10-K may be timely
filed each year, (i) the Trustee shall sign and deliver to the Depositor a
certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L) for the benefit of the
Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates (provided, however, that
the Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of the accountant's report attached
as an exhibit to the Form 10-K) and (ii) the Servicers shall each sign and
deliver to the Depositor a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
M) for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates.
In addition, (i) the Trustee shall also 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 any inaccuracy in the certification provided by the Trustee pursuant
to this Section 3.31(c), any breach of the Trustee's obligations under this
Section 3.31(c) or the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in
connection therewith and (ii) each Servicer, severally, 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 any inaccuracy in the certification provided by
such Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.31(c), any breach of such Servicer's
obligations under this Section 3.31(c) or such Servicer's negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided
for
-66-
herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor and its
officers, directors and Affiliates, then (i) the Trustee agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor, its officers,
directors or Affiliates as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities of the Depositor, its officers, directors or Affiliates in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor and
its officers, directors and Affiliates on the one hand and the Trustee on the
other in connection with a breach of the Trustee's obligations under this
Section 3.31(c) or the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in
connection therewith and (ii) each Servicer, severally, agrees that it shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Depositor, its officers,
directors or Affiliates as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities of the Depositor, its officers, directors or Affiliates in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor and
its officers, directors and Affiliates on the one hand and such Servicer on the
other in connection with a breach of such Servicer's obligations under this
Section 3.31(c) or such Servicer's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct
in connection therewith. Each Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the
Depositor and the Trustee are relying on each Servicer's performance of its
obligations under Sections 3.19 and 3.20 in order to perform their respective
obligations under this Section 3.31.
(d) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any such executed
report, statement or information.
(e) The obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this
Section shall only apply with respect to periods for which the Trustee is
obligated to file reports on Form 8-K or 10-K pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section. Upon request of the Depositor, the Trustee shall prepare, execute and
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 15 Suspension
Notification with respect to the Trust, and thereafter there shall be no further
obligations under paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section commencing with the
fiscal year in which the Form 15 is filed (other than the obligations to be
performed in such fiscal year that relate back to the prior fiscal year).

Section 4.08 REMIC Distributions.
(a) REMIC 4. On each Distribution Date, the timing and amounts of
principal and interest distributions and allocations of Applied Realized Loss
Amounts and Realized Loss Amortization Amounts on each Class of REMIC 4 Regular
Interests (other than the REMIC 4 Components) shall be identical to the timing,
amounts and allocations on the corresponding Classes of Certificates (other than
the Class CE and Class R Certificates). Interest (and in the case of the Class
T4-4 Interest, principal) shall be deemed distributed to each Class of REMIC 4
Components as follows: (i) the Class T4-4, Class T4-11, Class T4-12 and Class
T4-13 Interests shall be entitled to all distributions on the Class T3-4, Class
T3-11, Class T3-12 and Class T3-13 Interests, respectively; (ii) the Class
T4-A1IO, Class T4-A2IO, Class T4-M1IO, Class T4-M2IO and Class T4-BIO Interests
shall be entitled to a specified portion of interest payments consisting of the
excess of interest distributable on each of the Class T3-A1, Class T3-A2, Class
T3-M1, Class T3-M2 and Class T3-B Interests over interest distributable on the
Class T4-A1, Class T4-A2, Class T4-M1, Class T4-M2 and Class T4-B Interests,
respectively. Any shortfalls of interest, including any Realized Losses
allocated to reduce the Subsequent Overcollateralization Amount, shall be borne,
first, by the REMIC 4 Components, pro rata based on interest accrued, before
being allocated to the applicable other REMIC 4 Regular Interests. Realized
Losses allocated to the Class T4-4 Interest shall equal Realized Losses
allocated to the Class T3-4 Interest pursuant to Section 4.08(b). The Class CE
Certificates shall be deemed to receive the aggregate of the amounts
distributable in respect of the REMIC 4 Components. Any portion of the Available
Funds remaining in REMIC 4 on a Distribution Date shall be distributed to the
Class R Certificate in respect of the Class R-4 Interest.
(b) REMIC 3. On each Distribution Date, the timing and amounts of
principal and interest distributions and allocations of Applied Realized Loss
Amounts and Realized Loss Amortization Amounts on the Classes of REMIC 3 Regular
Interests identified as Corresponding Classes shall be identical to the timing,
amounts and allocations in respect of Corresponding Classes of REMIC 4 Regular
Interests pursuant to Section 4.08(a). The Class T3-4 Interest shall be entitled
to all distributions on the Class T2-4 Interest. Interest shortfalls will reduce
interest payable, first, on the Class T3-4 Interest, to the same extent that
interest shortfalls are allocable to the Class T2-4 Interest; second, on the
Class T3-11, Class T3-12 and Class T3-13 Interests, pro rata; third, on the
Class T3-B, Class T3-M2 and Class T3-M1 Interests, in that order; and fourth, on
the Class T3-A1 and Class T3-A2 Interests, pro rata; provided, that the portion
of the interest payable on the Class T3-B, Class T3-M2, Class T3-M1, Class T3-A1
and Class T3-A2 Interests attributable to the Class T4-BIO, Class T4-M2IO, Class
T4-M1IO, Class T4-A1IO and Class T4-A2IO Interests shall bear interest
shortfalls pro rata and prior to the allocation of any remaining shortfalls to
such Interests. Amounts of principal and interest distributed in respect of, and
Realized Losses allocated to, the Class T3-4 Interest shall equal the
allocations made to the Class T2-4 Interest, reduced by any allocation of
interest shortfalls to the Class T3-4 Interest pursuant to the preceding
sentence. Amounts in the Distribution Account deemed distributed in respect of
the REMIC 3 Regular Interests shall be treated as held by REMIC 4 for
distribution in accordance with Sections 4.08(a). Any portion of Available Funds
remaining in REMIC 3 on a
-74-
Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Class R Certificate in respect of
the Class R-3 Interest.
(c) REMIC 2. On each Distribution Date, the timing and amounts of
principal distributions and allocations of Realized Losses on each Class of
REMIC 2 Regular Interests shall be identical to the timing, amounts and
allocations in respect of the corresponding Classes of REMIC 1 Regular Interests
pursuant to Section 4.08(d). For these purposes, the Class T2-1 and Class T2-11
Interests correspond to the Class T1-1 Interest, the Class T2-2 and Class T2-12
Interests correspond to the Class T1-2 Interest, the Class T2-3 and Class T2-13
Interests correspond to the Class T1-3 Interest and the Class T2-4 Interest
corresponds to the Class T1-4 Interest. Interest will accrue on each of the
Class T2-1, Class T2-2 and Class T2-3 Interests at the REMIC 2 Pass-Through
Rate. Interest will accrue on each of the Class T2-11, Class T2-12 and Class
T2-13 Interests at the excess, if any, of the Pool Cap over the REMIC 2
Pass-Through Rate. Interest will accrue on the Class T2-4 Interest at the Pool
Cap. Any shortfalls of interest will be allocated, first, to the Class T2-4
Interest to the extent that interest shortfalls are allocated to the Class T1-4
Interest; second, pro rata, to the Class T2-11, Class T2-12 and Class T2-13
Interests; and third, pro rata, to the Class T2-1, Class T2-2 and Class T2-3
Interests. Amounts in the Distribution Account deemed distributed in respect of
the REMIC 2 Regular Interests shall be treated as held by REMIC 3 for
distribution in accordance with Section 4.08(b). Any portion of Available Funds
remaining in REMIC 2 on a Distribution Date shall be distributed to the Class R
Certificate in respect of the Class R-2 Interest.
(d) REMIC 1. On each Distribution Date, the REMIC 1 Regular
Interests shall receive distributions of interest and principal equal in the
aggregate to amounts distributable pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.02 (other
than to the Class R Certificate in respect of the Class R-4 Interest) from
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account. Any shortfalls of interest will
be allocated first, to the Class T1-4 Interest, and then to the Class T1-1,
Class T1-2 and Class T1-3 Interests, pro rata based on interest accrued. Amounts
in reduction of principal balance of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall be
allocated so that the principal balances of the Class T1-1, Class T1-2 and Class
T1-3 Interests equal the amounts specified in the definitions thereof in Article
I. Realized Losses shall be allocated first to the Class T1-4 Interest, to the
extent of the Remaining Initial Overcollateralization Amount, and then pro rata
to the Class T1-1, Class T1-2 and Class T1-3 Interests. Such amounts with
respect to principal and any Realized Losses with respect to principal shall
reduce the principal balances of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests so that, in the
aggregate, such balances correspond to the Pool Balance of the Mortgage Assets
as of the last day of the related Collection Period. Amounts in the Distribution
Account deemed distributed in respect of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall be
treated as held by REMIC 2 for distribution in accordance with Section 4.08(c).
Any amounts remaining in REMIC 1 on a Distribution Date shall be distributed to
the Class R Certificate in respect of the Class R-1 Interest.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
above distributions in this Section 4.08 (other than on the Certificates) are
deemed distributions, and distributions of funds from the Distribution Account
shall be made only in accordance with Sections 4.01 and 4.02 hereof.

ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates.
Each of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class B,
Class CE and Class R Certificates shall be substantially in the forms annexed
hereto as exhibits, and shall, on original issue, be executed by the Trustee and
authenticated and delivered by the Certificate Registrar to or upon the receipt
of a Written Order to Authenticate from the Depositor concurrently with the sale
and assignment to the Trustee of the Trust Fund. Each Class of the Offered
Certificates shall be initially evidenced by one or more Certificates
representing a Percentage Interest with a minimum dollar (or notional amount)
denomination of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The
Class CE Certificates are issuable only in minimum Percentage Interests of 10%.
The Class R Certificate is issuable only as a single certificate.
The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual
or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by a Responsible Officer.
Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were,
at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of
the Trustee shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery
of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been
manually authenticated by the Certificate Registrar substantially in the form
provided for herein, and such authentication upon any Certificate shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date
of their authentication. Subject to Section 5.02(c), the Offered Certificates
shall be Book-Entry Certificates. The Class CE and Class R Certificates shall
not be Book-Entry Certificates but shall be issued in fully registered
certificate form.
Section 5.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
(a) The Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a Certificate Register in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar
shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall initially serve
as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and
transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee as
Certificate Registrar shall be subject to the same standards of care,
limitations on liability and rights to indemnity as the Trustee, and the
provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.04, 8.05, 8.14, 8.15 and 8.16 shall
apply to the Certificate Registrar to the same extent as they apply to the
Trustee. Any Certificate Registrar appointed in accordance with this Section
5.02(a) may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days' advance written
notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Servicers and the Depositor, such
resignation to become effective upon appointment of a successor Certificate
Registrar.
-76-
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at
any office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose
pursuant to the foregoing paragraph and, in the case of the Class R Certificate,
upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Trustee on behalf of
the Trust shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Certificates of the same aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates in authorized denominations and the same
aggregate Percentage Interests, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and
the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates which
the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every
Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of 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 satisfactory
to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(b) Upon original issuance, the Book-Entry Certificates shall be
issued in the form of one or more typewritten certificates, to be delivered to
the Depository, the initial Depository, by, or on behalf of, the Depositor; or
to, and deposited with the Certificate Custodian, on behalf of the Depository,
if directed to do so pursuant to instructions from the Depository. Except as
provided in paragraph (c) below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times
remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times:
(i) registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee
except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry
records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and
transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of
such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable
rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual
and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v)
the Trustee shall for all purposes deal with the Depository as representative of
the Certificate Owners of the Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights
of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of
such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be
fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with
respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository
Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on
the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate
Owners; and (vii) the direct participants of the Depository shall have no rights
under this Agreement under or with respect to any of the Certificates held on
their behalf by the Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Trustee
and its agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of the
Certificates for all purposes whatsoever.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall
be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners that it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. The parties hereto
are
-77-
hereby authorized to execute a Letter of Representations with the Depository or
take such other action as may be necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry
Certificate to the Depository. In the event of any conflict between the terms of
any such Letter of Representation and this Agreement, the terms of this
Agreement shall control.
(c) If (i)(x) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly
its responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Trustee or the Depositor is
unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor, at its sole option,
with the consent of the Trustee, elects to terminate the book-entry system
through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Termination, the Certificate Owners of each Class of Book-Entry Certificates
representing Percentage Interests of such Classes aggregating not less than 51%
advises the Trustee and Depository through the Financial Intermediaries and the
Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system
through the Depository to the exclusion of definitive, fully registered
certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners is no longer
in the best interests of the Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the
Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration,
the Trustee shall, at the Depositor's expense, in the case of (ii) above, or the
Trust's expense, in the case of (i) and (iii) above, execute on behalf of the
Trust and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate the Definitive
Certificates. None of the Depositor or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay
in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicers, any Paying
Agent and the Depositor shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
(d) Except with respect to a transfer of the Private Certificates
between the Depositor and its affiliates, no transfer, sale, pledge or other
disposition of any Private Certificate shall be made unless such disposition is
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act"), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in
accordance with the 1933 Act and laws. In the event of any such transfer, (i)
unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A (as evidenced by the
investment letter delivered to the Certificate Registrar, in substantially the
form attached hereto as Exhibit H) under the 1933 Act, the Certificate Registrar
and the Depositor shall require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be
in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor that such transfer
may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and
the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Certificate Registrar or
the Depositor or (ii) the Certificate Registrar shall require the transferor to
execute a transferor certificate (in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit J) and the transferee to execute an investment letter (in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit H) acceptable to and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar
certifying to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar the facts surrounding
such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the
Certificate Registrar or the Depositor. The Holder of a Private Certificate
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Certificate Registrar and the Depositor against any liability that may result if
the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
-78-
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless
the Certificate Registrar shall have received either (i) a representation from
the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, (such requirement
is satisfied only by the Certificate Registrar's receipt of a representation
letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto, as
appropriate), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975
of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement nor
using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer or (ii)
(except in the case of the Class R Certificate) in the case of any such ERISA
Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee
benefit plan subject to ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975
of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a
trustee of any such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan
or arrangement or using such plan's or arrangement's assets, an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, to the effect that the
purchase or holding of such ERISA Restricted Certificate will not result in the
assets of the Trust being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the
Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar to any
obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any
liability. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such
representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Certificate Registrar by
the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in any such
Class of ERISA-Restricted Certificates, unless the Certificate Registrar shall
have received from the transferee an alternative representation acceptable in
form and substance to the Depositor. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or
on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or to the Code without
the delivery to the Certificate Registrar of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory
to the Certificate Registrar as described above shall be void and of no effect.
Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in the
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 appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to
execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in
connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any
Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the
following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in the
Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its
status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in the Class R
Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided
interest.
(iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership
Interest in the Class R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall as a
condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to it, in form
and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following:
-79-
A. an affidavit in the form of Exhibit I hereto from the proposed
transferee to the effect that, among other things, such transferee is a
Permitted Transferee and 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; and
B. a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the
proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer
restrictions applicable to the Class R Certificate.
(iv) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest
in the Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of
the provisions of this Section, become the Holder of the Class R
Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a
Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of
transfer of such Class R Certificate was not in fact permitted by this
Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the
date of registration of transfer of such Class R Certificate. The
Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of transfer of the Class R Certificate that is in fact not
permitted by this Section or for making any distributions due on such
Class R Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as
the Certificate Registrar received the documents specified in clause
(iii). The Trustee shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of the
Class R Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the
time such distributions were made all distributions made on such Class R
Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Trustee shall be
distributed and delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of such Class
R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.
(v) If any Person other than a Disqualified Organization acquires
any Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate in violation of the
restrictions in this Section, then the Certificate Registrar shall have
the right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of the
Class R Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest
therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of the Class R
Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may
include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in
connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be
remitted by the Trustee to the previous Holder of the Class R Certificate
that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Trustee
determines that the Holder of the Class R Certificate may be liable for
any amount due under this Section or any other provisions of this
Agreement, the Trustee may withhold a corresponding amount from such
remittance as security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any
sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of
the Trustee and it shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership
Interest in the Class R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such
discretion.
(vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any
Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate in violation of the
restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee will provide to the
Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in
-80-
Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the
tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of residual
interests to disqualified organizations. The Trustee shall be entitled to
reasonable compensation for providing such information from the person to
whom it is provided.
The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers
occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the
Certificate Registrar, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of
the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such
Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC hereunder to
fail to qualify as a REMIC.
(e) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the Certificate Registrar may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be cancelled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of
pursuant to its standard procedures.
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to
the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute on behalf of the Trust, and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate
and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest.
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar 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 and the
Certificate Registrar) in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section, shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of
ownership in the Trust, 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 Servicers, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of the Servicers, the Depositor, the
Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent or the Trustee may treat the Person,
including a Depository, 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 4.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the
Servicers, the Trust, the Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be affected
by notice to the contrary.
-81-
Section 5.05 Appointment of Paying Agent.
The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from
the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02 and shall report the
amounts of such distributions to the Trustee. The duties of the Paying Agent may
include the obligation to distribute statements and provide information to
Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent hereunder shall at
all times be an entity duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of
the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trustee.
The Trustee may appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which appointment
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Rating Agencies. The
Trustee as Paying Agent shall be subject to the same standards of care,
limitations on liability and rights to indemnity as the Trustee, and the
provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.04, 8.05, 8.14, 8.15 and 8.16 shall
apply to the Paying Agent to the same extent as they apply to the Trustee. Any
Paying Agent appointed in accordance with this Section 5.05 may at any time
resign by giving at least 30 days' advance written notice of resignation to the
Trustee, the Servicers and the Depositor, such resignation to become effective
upon appointment of a successor Paying Agent.
ARTICLE VI
THE SERVICERS AND THE DEPOSITOR
Section 6.01 Liability of the Servicers and the Depositor.

herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and
undertaken by the Depositor or such Servicer herein, as the case may be. Section
6.02 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations
of, a Servicer or the Depositor.
Any entity into which a Servicer or the Depositor may be merged or
consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which a Servicer or the Depositor shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the business of a or the Depositor, shall be the
successor of such Servicer or the Depositor, 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 a successor servicer shall satisfy all the requirements
of Section 7.02 with respect to the qualifications of a successor servicer.
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Servicers and
Others.
Neither of the Servicers nor any of the directors or officers or
employees or agents of the Servicers shall be under any liability to the Trust
or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking
of any action by a Servicer in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for
errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect a
-82-
Servicer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of duties of such Servicer or by reason of its reckless disregard of
its obligations and duties of such Servicer hereunder. Each Servicer and any
director or officer or employee or agent of such 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. Each Servicer and any director
or officer or employee or agent of such Servicer shall be indemnified by the
Trust and held harmless 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 incurred by reason of its willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or
by reason of its reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Each
Servicer may undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable
in respect of this Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto
and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the
reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust and each
Servicer shall be entitled to pay such expenses from the proceeds of the Trust
or to be reimbursed therefor pursuant to Section 3.05 upon presentation to the
Trustee of documentation of such expenses, costs and liabilities. Each
Servicer's right to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section shall
survive any resignation or termination of such Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04
or 7.01 with respect to any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior
to such resignation or termination (or arising from events that occurred prior
to such resignation or termination). This paragraph shall apply to each Servicer
solely in its capacity as a Servicer hereunder and in no other capacities.
Section 6.04 Servicers Not to Resign.
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 6.02, each
Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it
except (i) upon determination that the performance of its obligations or duties
hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material
conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it
or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other activities of such so causing such
a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by such Servicer or its
subsidiaries or Affiliates at the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon
satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) such Servicer has proposed a
successor servicer to the Trustee in writing and such proposed successor
servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee; and (b) each Rating Agency
shall have delivered a letter to the Trustee prior to the appointment of such
successor servicer stating that the proposed appointment of such successor
servicer as a Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction or withdrawal
of the then current rating of the Offered Certificates; provided, however, that
no such resignation by a Servicer shall become effective until such successor
servicer or, in the case of (i) above, the Trustee shall have assumed the
resigning Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the Trustee
shall have designated a successor servicer in accordance with Section 7.02. Any
such resignation shall not relieve the resigning Servicer of responsibility for
any of the obligations specified in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 as obligations that
survive the resignation or termination of such Servicer. Any such determination
permitting the resignation of a Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee.
-83-
Section 6.05 Delegation of Duties.
In the ordinary course of business, the Servicers at any time may
delegate any of their duties hereunder to any Person, including any of their
Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with standards
comparable to those set forth in Section 3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve
a Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties
and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04. A
Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the Rating Agencies with 60 days prior
written notice prior to the delegation of any of its duties to any Person other
than any of such Servicer's Affiliates or their respective successors and
assigns.

Collection Period and the two preceding Collection Periods of the
fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is (a) the
aggregate Principal Balance of 60+ Day Delinquent Mortgage Assets serviced
by a Servicer and the denominator of which is (b) the aggregate Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Assets serviced by a Servicer, in the case of both
(a) and (b), as of the last day of each such Collection Period, exceeds
[__]%.
(b) Then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Servicer
Event of Termination shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace
period, the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Holders of each Class of
Regular Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than
51%, by notice then given in writing to the defaulting Servicer (and to the
Trustee if given by Holders of Certificates), terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the defaulting Servicer as a servicer under this Agreement. Any
such notice to a defaulting Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency,
the non-defaulting Servicer and the Depositor. On or after the receipt by the
defaulting Servicer (and by the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders)
of such written notice, all authority and power of the defaulting Servicer under
this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Assets
or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under
this Section or successor servicer appointed in connection with Section 7.02;
and, without limitation, the Trustee or successor servicer is hereby authorized
and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the defaulting Servicer, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and
to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect
the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement of each Mortgage Asset and Related Documents or otherwise. The
defaulting Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee (or the applicable
successor servicer) in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and
rights of such Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the delivery
to the Trustee (or the applicable successor servicer) of all documents and
records requested by it to enable it to assume such Servicer's functions under
this Agreement within ten Business Days subsequent to such notice, the transfer
within one Business Day subsequent to such notice to the Trustee (or the
applicable successor servicer) for the administration by it of all cash amounts
that shall at the time be held by such Servicer and to be deposited by it in the
Collection Account or the Distribution Account or that have been deposited by
such Servicer in such accounts or thereafter received by the such Servicer with
respect to the Mortgage Assets or any REO Property received by such Servicer.
All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred in connection with transferring the servicing to the successor servicer
and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as a Servicer pursuant to
this Section shall be paid by the defaulting Servicer (or if the predecessor
servicer is the Trustee, the initial servicer) upon presentation of reasonable
documentation of such costs and expenses, and if such predecessor servicer
defaults in its obligation to pay such
-85-
costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor servicer or the Trustee (in
which case the successor servicer or the Trustee shall be entitled to
reimbursement therefor from the assets of the Trust).
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of a Servicer
hereunder, such Servicer shall be entitled to receive payment of all accrued and
unpaid Servicing Fees and reimbursement for all outstanding Servicing Advances
properly made prior to the date of termination.
Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) Within 90 days of the time the defaulting Servicer (and the
Trustee, if notice is sent by the Holders) receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 7.01 or 6.04, the Trustee (or such other successor servicer
as is approved in accordance with this Agreement) shall be the successor in all
respects to such Servicer in its capacity as a servicer under this Agreement and
the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all
the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on such
Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof arising on and after its succession.
As compensation therefor, the Trustee (or such other successor servicer) shall
be entitled to such compensation as the defaulting Servicer would have been
entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given.
Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Trustee is unwilling to act as successor
servicer or (ii) if the Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Trustee shall
appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or
home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 as the
successor to the defaulting Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any
part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the such Servicer
hereunder; provided, that the appointment of any such successor servicer will
not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned
to the Certificates or the ratings that are in effect by the Rating Agencies as
evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies. Pending
appointment of a successor to the defaulting Servicer hereunder, unless the
Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such
capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of
payments on Mortgage Assets in an amount equal to the compensation which the
defaulting Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.18 (or
such other compensation as the Trustee and such successor shall agree, not to
exceed the Servicing Fee such Servicer would have been entitled to under this
Agreement). The successor servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the
Collection Account all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the
servicing to the successor servicer, including costs and expenses of the
Trustee. The appointment of a successor servicer shall not affect any liability
of the predecessor servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to
its termination as a Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance policy
pursuant to Section 3.12 or to indemnify the parties indicated in Section 3.26
pursuant to the terms thereof, nor shall any successor servicer be liable for
any acts or omissions of the predecessor servicer or for any breach by such
servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any
related document or agreement. The Trustee and such successor shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such succession.
-86-
(b) Any successor, including the Trustee, to a Servicer as a
servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer continue to service
and administer the Mortgage Assets for the benefit of Certificateholders, and
maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and
omissions in the performance of its obligations as a Servicer hereunder and a
Fidelity Bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same
extent as a Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.12.
Section 7.03 Waiver of Defaults.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66 2/3% of the
Voting Rights allocated to the Classes of Certificates affected by a Servicer
Event of Termination may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, waive any events
permitting removal of a Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article VII,
provided, however, that such Holders may not waive a default in making a
required distribution on a Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to
exist and any Servicer Event of Termination arising therefrom shall be deemed to
have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto
except to the extent expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be
given by the Trustee to the Rating Agencies.
Section 7.04 Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) On any termination or appointment of a successor to a Servicer
pursuant to this Article VII or Section 6.04, the Trustee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses
appearing in the Certificate Register and each Rating Agency.
(b) No later than 60 days after the occurrence of any event which
constitutes or which, with notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute a
Servicer Event of Termination for five Business Days after a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee
shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of such occurrence
unless such default or Servicer Event of Termination shall have been waived or
cured. Such notice shall be given to the Rating Agencies promptly after any such
occurrence.
Section 7.05 Survivability of Servicer Liabilities.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon termination of
a Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of such Servicer which accrued prior to
such termination shall survive such termination.
-87-
ARTICLE VIII
THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Termination of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual
knowledge and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may
have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. If a Servicer Event of Termination has
occurred (which has not been cured) of which a Responsible Officer has actual
knowledge, 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 person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of such person's own affairs.
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; provided, however, that that the
Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument
furnished by the Servicers or the Depositor hereunder. If any such instrument is
found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements of this
Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders of such instrument in
the event that the Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive a
satisfactorily corrected instrument.
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 a Servicer Event of Termination of
which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge,
and after the curing of all such Servicer Events of Termination 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 of the Trustee,
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining
or investigating the facts related thereto;
-88-
(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 the Majority Certificateholders relating
to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust
or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; and
(iv) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure
by a Servicer to comply with the obligations of a Servicer referred to in
clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01(a) or any Servicer Event of
Termination unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate
Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee
receives written notice of such failure from a Servicer or the Majority
Certificateholders. In the absence of such receipt of such notice, the
Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no Servicer Event of
Termination.
The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and
none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require
the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any
of the obligations of a Servicer under this Agreement, except during such time,
if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights,
duties, powers and privileges of, a Servicer in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.
The Trustee shall not have any duty (A) to see any recording,
filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or
any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security
interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or
depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B)
to see to any insurance or (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax,
assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind
owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund
other than from funds available in the Distribution Account.
Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. (a) Except
as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the Trustee may request and rely upon, and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, Officer's
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;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice or 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 with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
-89-
(iii) the Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any
of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the
request, order or direction 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; the
right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this
Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be
answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the
performance of any such act;
(iv) 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;
(v) prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination and
after the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination 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 documents, unless requested in writing to do so by
the Majority Certificateholders; 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 cost, expense or
liability as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of
every such examination shall be paid by the Depositor or, if paid by the
Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Depositor upon demand. Nothing in this
clause (v) shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicers to observe
any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the
Obligors; (vi) the Trustee shall not be accountable, have any liability or
make any representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the
Servicers until such time as the Trustee may be required to act as a
Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02;
(vii) 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 or a custodian and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney or
custodian appointed by it with due care; and
(viii) the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act
enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the
Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful
misconduct in the performance of such act.
Section 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Assets.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than
the authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the
statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the
correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no
-90-
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates (other than the signature and authentication of the Trustee on the
Certificates) or of any Mortgage Asset or Related Document. The Trustee shall
not be accountable for the use or application by a Servicer, or for the use or
application of any funds paid to a Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Assets or
deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by a Servicer. The Trustee
shall not at any time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect
to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage
Asset, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any
such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the
Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to
Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without limitation: the
existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and
enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall
assume the duties of a Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the validity of the
assignment of any Mortgage Asset to the Trustee or of any intervening
assignment; the completeness of any Mortgage Asset; the performance or
enforcement of any Mortgage Asset (other than if the Trustee shall assume the
duties of a Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the compliance by the Depositor
or a Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement or
in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation
prior to the Trustee's receipt of notice or other discovery of any
non-compliance therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies by or
at the direction of the Servicers or any loss resulting therefrom, it being
understood that the Trustee shall remain responsible for any Trust property that
it may hold in its individual capacity; the acts or omissions of any of a
Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of a Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02), or any Obligor; any action of a Servicer (other than
if the Trustee shall assume the duties of a Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02),
taken in the name of the Trustee; the failure of a Servicer to act or perform
any duties required of it as agent of the Trustee hereunder; or any action by
the Trustee taken at the instruction of a Servicer (other than if the Trustee
shall assume the duties of a Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligation to
perform its duties under this Agreement. The Trustee shall not have any
responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public
office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any
security interest or lien granted to it hereunder.
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 as it would have if it
were not Trustee and may transact any banking and trust business with a
Servicer, the Depositor or their Affiliates.
Section 8.05 Trustee Fees and Expenses.
The Trustee shall be entitled to the Trustee Fee (which shall not
be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee
of an express trust) for all services rendered by the Trustee in the exercise
and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder. The Trustee shall
withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date and pay to
itself the Trustee Fee. The Trust shall reimburse the Trustee for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including
the reasonable compensation and the expenses
-91-
and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ)
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its
negligence or bad faith or which is the responsibility of Certificateholders or
the Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Trustee and its officers, directors,
employees and agents shall be indemnified by the Trust from, and held harmless
against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses incurred
in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the
Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee in the performance
of its duties hereunder or by reason of the Trustee's reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. This Section shall survive termination of this
Agreement or the resignation or removal of any Trustee hereunder.
Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly organized
and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state
thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and a minimum long-term
debt rating of BBB by [___] and [___]and subject to supervision or examination
by federal or state authority. If such entity publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06,
the combined capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. The principal office of the Trustee (other than the initial
Trustee) shall be in a state with respect to which an Opinion of Counsel has
been delivered to such Trustee at the time such Trustee is appointed Trustee to
the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable entity under the laws of such
state. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
Section 8.07 Resignation or Removal of Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Servicers
and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor
shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate,
one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one
copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so
appointed and having accepted appointment within 30 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.
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 if at any time the Trustee shall be
legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of their property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of their property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the
Depositor may remove the Trustee. If the Depositor removes the Trustee under the
authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one
-92-
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one
copy to the successor Trustee.
The Majority Certificateholders may at any time remove the Trustee
by written instrument or instruments delivered to the Servicers, the Depositor
and the Trustee; the Depositor shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a
successor Trustee in accordance with this Section.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 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 Depositor, the Rating Agencies, the
Servicers and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor Trustee shall become effective, and such successor Trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as Trustee. The Depositor, the Servicers and the
predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other
things as may reasonably be required for 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 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such
successor Trustee shall not result in a downgrading of the Regular Certificates
by either Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in
this Section 8.08, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of the appointment of
a successor Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses
as shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.
Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity
succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the
hereunder, provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 8.06 and 8.08, 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 of this Agreement, at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Trust or
-93-
any Mortgaged Property 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, and to vest in such Person
or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such
title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of
this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Servicers and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any such
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of each
Servicer. If each Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15
days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case a Servicer
Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee with the
non-defaulting Servicer 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, and no notice to
Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) 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
(it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not
authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act),
except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder
or as successor to a 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 or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised
and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at
the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason
of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) the Servicers and the Trustee, acting jointly may at any time
accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee
except that following the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination,
the Trustee acting with the non-defaulting Servicer may accept the
resignation or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the 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 and a copy thereof given to the
Depositor, the Rating Agencies and the Servicers.
-94-
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor Trustee.
Section 8.11 Limitation of Liability.
The Certificates are executed by the Trustee, not in its individual
capacity but solely as Trustee of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and
authority conferred and vested in it by this Agreement. Each of the undertakings
and agreements made on the part of the Trustee in the Certificates is made and
intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement by the Trustee but is made
and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust.
Section 8.12 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession
of Certificates.
(a) All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the
Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto, and such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall
be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee for the benefit of all
Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Any
recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursement and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of
which such judgment has been recovered.
(b) The Trustee shall afford the Depositor, the Servicers and each
Certificateholder upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, access to
all records maintained by the Trustee in respect of its duties hereunder and
access to officers of the Trustee responsible for performing such duties. The
Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Servicers, the Depositor and such
Certificateholder and shall make available to the Servicers, the Depositor and
such Certificateholder for review and copying at the expense of the party
requesting such copies, such books, documents or records as may be requested
with respect to the Trustee's duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicers and

including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to any professional
fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings
with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state
tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or
routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of
litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities
(including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the negligence or willful
misconduct of the Trustee in fulfilling its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall
be entitled to reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in clause (i)
above from the Trust.
(d) The Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared, sign and file
or cause to be filed, each REMIC's federal and state tax and information returns
as such REMIC's direct representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such
returns shall be borne by the Trustee.
(e) The Holder of the Class R Certificate shall be the "tax matters
person" as defined in the REMIC Provisions (the "Tax Matters Person") with
respect to each REMIC, and
-96-
the Trustee is irrevocably designated as and shall act as attorney-in-fact and
agent for such Tax Matters Person for each REMIC. The Trustee, as agent for the
Tax Matters Person, shall perform, on behalf of each REMIC, all reporting and
other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the
Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal
Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties,
if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the
Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall provide (i) to the Treasury
or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for the
application of any tax relating to the transfer of the Class R Certificate to
any disqualified person or organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such
information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions.
(f) The Trustee, the Servicers, and the Holders of Certificates
shall take any action or cause any REMIC formed under this Agreement to take any
action necessary to create or maintain the status of such REMIC as a REMIC under
the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or
maintain such status. None of the Trustee, the Servicers or the Holder of the
Class R Certificate shall take any action or cause any REMIC formed under this
Agreement 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 such REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the
imposition of a tax upon such REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on
prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on
prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such
event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee and the Servicers have
received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such
action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status
or result in the imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any
action with respect to any REMIC formed under this Agreement or the assets
therein, or causing such REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly
permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of the Class R
Certificate will consult with the Trustee and the Servicers, or their respective
designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an
Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to such REMIC, and no such Person
shall take any such action or cause such REMIC to take any such action as to
which the Trustee or a Servicer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC
Event could occur.
(g) The Holder of the Class R Certificate shall pay when due any and
all taxes imposed on any REMIC formed under this Agreement by federal or state
governmental authorities, but only from amounts, if any, distributable thereon.
To the extent that such REMIC taxes are not paid by the Class R
Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of future
amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Class R Certificate or, if
no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Distribution
Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders of the REMIC
Regular Interests or the Certificates, as the case may be.

arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for
services.

the Trustee shall deliver to each Rating Agency an Officer's Certificate stating
the Trustee's compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.01.

an optional purchase by a Servicer pursuant to Section 3.16 of this Agreement,
nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in
the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC
after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the
expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such
disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) affect
adversely the status of such REMIC as a REMIC or of the interests therein other
than the Class R Certificate as the regular interests therein, (b) affect the
distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates, (c) result in the
encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (d) cause such REMIC to be
subject to a tax on prohibited transactions or prohibited contributions pursuant
to the REMIC Provisions.
Section 9.03 Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes
and Loss of REMIC Status.
In the event that any REMIC formed hereunder fails to qualify as a
REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a
result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC
Provisions due to the negligent performance by a Servicer of its duties and
obligations set forth herein, such Servicer shall indemnify the Holder of the
Class R Certificate against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses ("Losses") resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that such
Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or
inaction of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Holder of the Class R Certificate,
as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by
the Holder of the Class R Certificate on which such Servicer has relied. The
foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of
the Holder of the Class R Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall a Servicer
have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance
with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly
permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising
out of a negligent performance by such Servicer of its duties and obligations
set forth herein, and
-98-
(3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition
to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).
Section 9.04 REO Property.
(a) Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations
as shall at any time be in force, and notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, the Servicers, acting on behalf of the Trust hereunder, shall
not rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of any REMIC with respect to
any REO Property which might cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure" property within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any REMIC of any "income from non-permitted assets"
within the meaning of section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or any "net income from
foreclosure property" which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions unless
a Servicer has advised the Trustee in writing to the effect that, under the
REMIC Provisions, such action would not adversely affect the status of any REMIC
as a REMIC and any income generated for such REMIC by the REO Property would not
result in the imposition of a tax upon such REMIC.
(b) The Servicers shall make reasonable efforts to sell any
REO Property for its fair market value. In any event, however, a Servicer shall
dispose of any REO Property before the close of the third calendar year
beginning after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless such
Servicer has received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to
the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed
legislation and under applicable state law, any REMIC may hold REO Property for
a longer period without adversely affecting its REMIC status or causing the
imposition of a Federal or state tax upon any REMIC. If a Servicer has received
such an extension, then such Servicer shall continue to attempt to sell the REO
Property for its fair market value as determined in good faith by such Servicer
for such longer period as such extension permits (the "Extended Period"). If a
Servicer has not received such an extension and such Servicer is unable to sell
the REO Property within 33 months after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if
such Servicer has received such an extension, and such Servicer is unable to
sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the close of
the Extended Period, such Servicer shall, before the end of the applicable
period, (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property's
fair market value as determined in good faith by such Servicer or (ii) auction
the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be such Servicer) in an
auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of
the applicable period.
ARTICLE X
TERMINATION
Section 10.01 Termination.
(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the
Servicers, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar created
hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments to
Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and the obligation of the
Servicers to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon
notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which
the Certificate
-99-
Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, (ii)
the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Asset in the Trust,
and (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicers of the Mortgage Assets as
described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the trust
created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
last survivor of the descendants of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the late ambassador of
the United States to the Court of St. ▇▇▇▇▇, living on the date hereof.
The Servicers, acting together and not individually, may, at their
option, terminate the Trust Fund and retire the Offered Certificates on the next
succeeding Distribution Date upon which the aggregate current Pool Balance is
less than 10% of the aggregate Pool Balance of the Mortgage Assets as of the
Cut-off Date by purchasing all of the outstanding (i) Mortgage Assets in the
Trust Fund at a price equal to the sum of the outstanding Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Assets and accrued and unpaid finance charges thereon at the
weighted average of the Coupon Rates through the end of the Collection Period
preceding the final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances and
any unpaid Servicing Fees allocable to such Mortgage Assets and (ii) REO
Properties in the Trust Fund at a price equal to their fair market value as
determined in good faith by the applicable Servicers (the "Termination Price").
If the Servicers are subject to regulation by the OCC, the FDIC, the Federal
Reserve or the Office of Thrift Supervision, however, the option may not be
exercised unless the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Assets and REO
Properties is greater than or equal to the Termination Price. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no party may exercise this optional purchase right unless any
Reimbursement Amount owed to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof has been
paid.
In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, the Servicers shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account all amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account,
which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately following such
purchase.
Any such purchase shall be accomplished by delivery on the
Determination Date before such Distribution Date of the Termination Price to the
Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account as part of Available Funds.
(b) Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date
(which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which
the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for
payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by
the Trustee upon the Trustee receiving notice of such date from the Servicers,
by letter to the Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th day of the
month preceding the month of such final distribution and not later than the 15th
day of the month of such final distribution specifying (1) the Distribution Date
upon which final distribution of the Certificates will be made upon presentation
and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee
therein designated, (2) the amount of any such final distribution and (3) that
the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. Not less
than five (5) Business Days prior to such Determination Date relating to such
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor of the amount of any
unpaid Reimbursement Amount owed to the Trust.
-100-
(c) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Certificates on the
Distribution Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage
Interests of their respective Class and to the extent that funds are available
for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to
such Holders in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4.01 and 4.02 for
such Distribution Date.
(d) In the event that all Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before such final
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall promptly following such date cause all
funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final distribution to
Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining
Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the
benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Servicers shall give a second
written notice to the remaining Certificateholders, to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within nine months after the second notice all the Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholder
shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject
hereto (except with respect to the Class CE and Class P Certificates) and the
Trustee upon transfer of such funds shall be discharged of any responsibility
for such funds, and all other Certificateholders shall look to the Class R
Certificateholder for payment.
Section 10.02 Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event that the Servicers exercise their purchase option
as provided in Section 10.01, the Trust shall be terminated in accordance with
the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee shall have been
furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust
to comply with the requirements of this Section will not (i) result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust as defined in
Section 860F of the Code or (ii) cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust
Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding:
(i) The Trustee shall designate a date within 90 days prior to the
final Distribution Date as the date of adoption of plans of complete
liquidation of each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2, REMIC 3 and REMIC 4 and shall
specify such date in the final federal income tax return of each REMIC;
(ii) After the date of adoption of such plans of complete
liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall sell all of the assets of the Trust to the Servicers 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 in the following order of priority (A) (i) to the
Holders of each of the Class A-1 and Class A-2 Certificates, pro rata, and
(ii) to the Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B Certificates, the related
Certificate Principal Balance, as applicable, plus one month's interest
thereon at the applicable Pass-Through Rate, (B) to the Class CE
Certificates, the amount of any remaining Monthly Excess Cash Flow Amounts
not previously distributed thereon, (C) to
-101-
the remaining REMIC Regular Interests the amounts allocable thereto
pursuant to Section 4.08 and (D) to the Class R Certificateholder, all
cash on hand in respect of the REMICs after such payment (other than cash
retained to meet claims) and the Trust shall terminate at such time.
(b) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby
agree to appoint the Trustee as their attorney in fact to: (i) designate such
date of adoption of plans of complete liquidation and (ii) to take such other
action in connection therewith as may be reasonably required to carry out such
plans of complete liquidation all in accordance with the terms hereof.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 11.01 Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Servicers and the Trustee; and without the consent of the
Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct,
modify or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any
other provision herein or the Prospectus Supplement, (iii) to make any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement,
which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; or (iv)
to comply with any requirements imposed by the Code; provided, however, that any
such action listed in clause (iii) above shall not adversely affect in any
respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by (i) notice in
writing to the Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies
that such action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of
any outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating
Agency, or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Servicers and the
Trustee.
In addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee, with the consent of the Majority
Certificateholders for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided,
however, that no such amendment or waiver shall (x) reduce in any manner the
amount of, or delay the timing of, payments on the Certificates which are
required to be made on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, (y) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in
clause (x) above, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such
Class evidencing at least a majority of the Percentage Interest in such Class,
or (z) reduce the percentage of Voting Rights required by clause (y) above
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then
outstanding. Upon approval of an amendment, a copy of such amendment shall be
sent to the Rating Agencies. Prior to the execution of any amendment to this
Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of
Counsel (at the expense of the Person seeking such amendment) stating that the
execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement. The
Trustee may, but shall not be
-102-
obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee's own
rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel, delivered by (and at the expense of)
the Person seeking such Amendment, to the effect that such amendment will not
result in the imposition of a tax on any REMIC constituting part of the Trust
Fund pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC constituting part of
the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding and that the amendment is being made in accordance with the
terms hereof.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall
furnish, at the expense of the Person that requested the amendment if such
Person is a Servicer (but in no event at the expense of the Trustee), otherwise
at the expense of the Trust, a copy of such amendment and the Opinion of Counsel
referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph to the Servicers and each
Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment; instead 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.
Section 11.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject

public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the
Servicers at the expense of the Trust, but only upon direction of the
Certificateholders, accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute but
one and the same instrument.

Trust, or (iii) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto or any of them.
Except as expressly provided for herein, no Certificateholder shall
have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Trust, or the
-103-
obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth or
contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so as to constitute the
Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association;
nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by
reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any
provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision
of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at
law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder
previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of
the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and unless also the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 51% 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, which priority or
preference is not otherwise provided for herein, or to enforce any right under
this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable

waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by the

of substantially similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders in person or by
agent duly appointed in writing; and such action shall become effective when

individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority.
(c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action by any Certificateholder shall bind every future Holder

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates

This certificate is subordinated in right of payment to the Class A
Certificates as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to
herein.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Servicers and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Servicers and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to the Voting Rights identified in the agreement. Any such consent by
the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued
upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations

Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below

of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified
in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
B-1-3
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicers, 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 none of the Depositor, the
Servicers, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to
the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Asset
remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in
the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust
Fund of all Mortgage Assets and all property acquired in respect of such
Mortgage Assets. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party
designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Assets
and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Asset at a price determined
as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early
retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to
the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Assets at the time of purchase
being 10% or less of the Cut-off Date Aggregate Principal Balance.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by

Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Servicers against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.

employee benefit plans and certain other retirement plans and arrangements,
including individual retirement accounts and annuities, ▇▇▇▇▇ plans and
collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts
or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility
provisions of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any materially similar

any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing the Certificate or interest
therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a

or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Servicers, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicers, 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 none of the Depositor, the
Servicers, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to
the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Asset
remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in
the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust
Fund of all
C-1-4

The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Assets and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Asset at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Assets at the time of purchase being 10% or
less of the Cut-off Date Aggregate Principal Balance.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the

The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an

to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands

Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth in this Exhibit J to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate")
to the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to
which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.

assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to
the Certificate.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is____________ .

7701(a)(30).
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a
"noneconomic residual interest" 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.
