This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated and effective as
of February 1, 1996, among DLJ Mortgage Acceptance Corp., as Depositor (the
"Depositor"), Temple-Inland Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer (the
"Master Servicer"), and Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
The Depositor intends to sell mortgage 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 Mortgage Loans (as defined herein). As provided
herein, the Trustee will cause an election to be made to treat the entire
segregated pool of assets subject to this Agreement (including the Mortgage
Loans) as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a "REMIC") for federal
income tax purposes and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as the
"Trust Fund." The Class SA, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class
SB Certificates will be the "regular interest" in the Trust Fund, and the Class
R Certificates will be the "residual interests" in the Trust Fund, for purposes
of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein) under federal income tax law.
The following table sets forth the designation, initial
Pass-Through Rate (as defined herein), aggregate Initial Certificate Principal
Balance (as defined herein), and the approximate initial percentage for each
Class of Certificates comprising the certificated interests in the Trust Fund
created hereunder.
Aggregate Initial
Initial Certificate Approximate
Pass-Through Principal Initial Class
Designation Type Rate Balance Percentage
Class SA Senior 1.835% N/A N/A
Class A-1 Senior 6.010% $47,905,429 82.00%
Class A-2 Senior 6.010% 10.75%
Class B-1 Subordinate 6.010% 3.25%
Class B-2 Subordinate 6.010% 4.00%
Class SB Subordinate 1.299% N/A N/A
Class R Residual 6.010% 0.00%
As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans have an aggregate
Stated Principal Balance equal to $58,421,255.82.
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
SECTION 1.01. Defined Terms.
Whenever used in this Agreement, the following words and
phrases, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the meanings
specified in this Article.
"Accrued Certificate Interest": With respect to each
Distribution Date, as to any Class A-1 Certificate, Class A-2 Certificate, Class
B-1 Certificate, Class B-2 Certificate or Class R Certificate, one month's
interest accrued at the then applicable Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof immediately prior to such Distribution Date. With
respect to each Distribution Date, as to the Class SA Certificates and the Class
SB Certificates, one month's interest accrued at the then applicable
Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Amount immediately prior to such Distribution
Date. Accrued Certificate Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In each case Accrued Certificate
Interest on any such Class of Certificates will be reduced by the amount of (i)
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, if any, which are not covered by payments by the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.23 with respect to such Distribution Date,
(ii) the interest portion (adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate) of Realized Losses
(including Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess Bankruptcy
Losses and Extraordinary Losses) not allocated solely to the Class A-2
Certificates, the Class B-1 Certificates, the Class B-2 Certificates, the Class
SB Certificates or the Class R Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04, (iii) the
interest portion of Advances previously made with respect to a Mortgage Loan or
REO Property which remained unreimbursed following the Cash Liquidation or REO
Disposition of such Mortgage Loan or REO Property that were made with respect to
delinquencies that ultimately constituted Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess
Fraud Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses or Extraordinary Losses and (iv) any
other interest shortfalls not covered by the subordination provided by the Class
A-2 Certificates, the Class B-1 Certificates, the Class B-2 Certificates, the
Class SB Certificates and the Class R Certificates, including interest that is
not collectible from the Mortgagor pursuant to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil
Relief Act of 1940, as amended, or similar legislation or regulations as in
effect from time to time, with all such reductions allocated among all of the
Certificates on a pro rata basis in proportion to their respective amounts of
Accrued Certificate Interest which would have resulted absent such reductions.
In addition to that portion of the reductions described in the preceding
sentence that are allocated to the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class B-1
Certificates, the Class B-2 Certificates, the Class SB Certificates or the Class
R Certificates, Accrued Certificate Interest on the Class A-2 Certificates, the
Class B-1 Certificates, the Class B-2 Certificates, the Class SB Certificates or
the Class R Certificates, as applicable, will be reduced by the interest portion
(adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate) of the portion of Realized Losses that are
allocated solely to the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class B-1 Certificates, the
Class B-2 Certificates, the Class SB Certificates or the Class R Certificates,
as applicable, pursuant to Section 4.04. Furthermore, Accrued Certificate
Interest on the Class R

Class R Certificate for any purposes hereof and, solely for the purposes of
giving any consent pursuant to this Agreement, any Certificate, other than a
Class R Certificate, registered in the name of the Depositor or the Master

In connection with the foregoing transfer and assignment of

because of any defect therein, the Seller is required to prepare a substitute
Assignment or cure such defect, as the case may be, and the Trustee shall cause
such Assignment to be recorded in accordance with this paragraph.
The Seller is required under each Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement to exercise its best reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee within 120 days of the Closing Date, or such other date
as is set forth in such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the original or a
photocopy of the title insurance policy with respect to each of the related
Mortgage Loan, assigned to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.01.
All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans which
are not delivered to the Trustee, to the extent delivered by the Seller to the
Master Servicer, are and shall be held by the Master Servicer in trust for the
benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
Except as may otherwise expressly be provided herein, neither
the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall (and the Master
Servicer shall ensure that no Sub-Servicer shall) assign, sell, dispose of or
transfer any interest in the Trust Fund or any portion thereof, or permit the
Trust Fund or any portion thereof to be subject to any lien, claim, mortgage,
security interest, pledge or other encumbrance of, any other Person.
It is intended that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by
the Depositor to the Trustee as provided in this Section be, and be construed
as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee for the benefit
of the Certificateholders. It is, further, not intended that such conveyance be
deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure
a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that the
Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, or if for any reason
this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage
Loans, then it is intended that, (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a
security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable
jurisdiction; (b) the conveyance provided for in this Section shall be deemed to
be (1) a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of
the Depositor's right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and
interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the Mortgage
Loans, including the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related insurance
policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage Files, (B) all amounts
payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms
thereof and (C) all
-33-
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Certificate Account, the
Excess Proceeds Account or the Custodial Account, whether in the form of cash,
instruments, securities or other property and (2) an assignment by the Depositor
to the Trustee of any security interest in any and all of the Seller's or
DLJMCI's right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and
interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the property
described in the foregoing clauses (1)(A) through (C) granted by the Seller to
the Depositor pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements or
granted by DLJMCI to the Depositor pursuant to the Assignment Agreement; (c) the
possession by the Trustee or its agent of Mortgage Notes and such other items of
property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper
shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured party" or possession by a
purchaser or a person designated by such secured party, for purposes of
perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial
Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction
(including, without limitation, Sections 9-305, 8-313 or 8-321 thereof); and (d)
notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications
to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial
intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose
of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Depositor and the
Trustee at the Depositor's direction shall, to the extent consistent with this
Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this
Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such
security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first
priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term
of the Agreement.
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of the Trust Fund by the
Trustee.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt (subject to any exceptions
noted in the Initial Certification described below) of the documents referred to
in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the Trust Fund and
declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents
delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will hold
such other assets included in the Trust Fund (to the extent delivered or
assigned to the Trustee), in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
to review each Mortgage File on or before the Closing Date to ascertain that all
documents required to be delivered to it are in its possession, and the Trustee
agrees to execute and deliver to the Depositor and the Master Servicer on the
Closing Date an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C to
the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
(other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically
identified in such certification as not covered by such certification), (i) all
documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement with respect
to such Mortgage Loan are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been
reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan
and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing
-34-
documents, the information set forth in items (i) - (vii), (x), (xii), (xiii),
(xx) and (xxi) of the definition of the "Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately
reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. Neither the Trustee nor the
Master Servicer shall be under any duty to determine whether any Mortgage File
should include any of the documents specified in clause (vi) of Section 2.01.
Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall be under any duty or
obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable
or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been
recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
Within 90 days of the Closing Date the Trustee shall deliver
to the Depositor and the Master Servicer a Final Certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit D evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files,
with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and
preparing the certifications referred to above the Trustee finds any document or
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in
any material respect and in such a manner as to materially and adversely affect
the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the
Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Depositor.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller of such defect and request that the
Seller cure any such defect within 60 days from the date on which the Seller was
notified of such defect, and if the Seller does not cure such defect in all
material respects during such period, request that the Seller purchase such
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund on behalf of the Certificateholders at the
Purchase Price, plus all other amounts due under the related Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement in respect thereof, within 90 days after the date on which
the Seller was notified of such defect. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Seller to cure a material defect in, or purchase any Mortgage
Loan as to which a material defect in a constituent document exists shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The Purchase
Price and such other amounts for the purchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited
or caused to be deposited upon receipt by the Master Servicer in the Custodial
Account and, upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit
signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall release or cause to be released
to the Seller the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the
Seller shall require as necessary to vest in the Seller ownership of any
Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and at such time the Trustee shall have
no further responsibility with respect to the related Mortgage File.
SECTION 2.03. Representations, Warranties and
Covenants of the Master Servicer and
the Depositor.
(a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to and
covenants with the Depositor and the Trustee for the benefit of
Certificateholders that:

any Mortgaged Property is located to the extent necessary to perform
its obligations under this Agreement, and the Master Servicer is, and
shall remain, approved to sell mortgage loans to and service mortgage
loans for FNMA and FHLMC;
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Master Servicer, and the performance and compliance with the terms of
this Agreement by the Master Servicer, will not violate the Master
Servicer's charter or bylaws or constitute a default (or an event
which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a
default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or
other instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable to it or
any of its assets;
(iii) The Master Servicer has the full power and authority
to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement;
(iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization,
execution and delivery by the Depositor and the Trustee, constitutes a
valid, legal and binding obligation of the Master Servicer, enforceable
against the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms hereof,
subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
rights generally, and (B) general principles of equity, regardless of
whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law;
(v) The Master Servicer is not in violation of, and its
execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance and
compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a
violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or
any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state or local
governmental or regulatory authority, which violation is likely to
affect materially and adversely either the ability of the Master
Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the
financial condition of the Master Servicer;
(vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the
Master Servicer's knowledge, threatened against the Master Servicer
which would prohibit its entering into this Agreement or performing its
obligations under this Agreement or is likely to affect materially and
adversely either the ability of the Master Servicer to perform its
obligations under this Agreement or the financial condition of the
Master Servicer;
-36-
(vii) The Master Servicer will comply in all material
respects in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules
and requirements of each insurer under each Insurance Policy;
(viii) The execution of this Agreement and the performance
of the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder do not require any
license, consent or approval of any state or federal court, agency,
regulatory authority or other governmental body having jurisdiction
over the Master Servicer, other than such as have been obtained; and
(ix) No information, certificate of an officer, statement
furnished in writing or report delivered to the Depositor, any
affiliate of the Depositor or the Trustee by the Master Servicer will,
to the knowledge of the Master Servicer, contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make the
information, certificate, statement or report not misleading.
It is understood and agreed that the representations,
warranties and covenants set forth in this Section 2.03(a) shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, and shall inure to the benefit of the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by the
Depositor, the Trustee or the Master Servicer of a breach of any of the
foregoing representations, warranties and covenants that materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Depositor or the Trustee, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
(b) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Master
Servicer and the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders that as of the
Closing Date (or, if otherwise specified below, as of the date so specified):
(i) Assuming that representation (v) of the Seller set
forth in Exhibit J hereto is true and correct, then
immediately prior to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to
the Trustee, the Depositor had good title to, and was the sole
owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any pledge,
lien, encumbrance or security interest (other than rights to
servicing and related compensation) and such assignment
validly transfers ownership of the Mortgage Loans to the
Trustee free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or
security interest; and
(ii) The representations and warranties of the Seller
with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the remedies therefor
that are contained in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreements and in the Seller's Warranty Certificate are as set
forth in Exhibit J hereto.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
this Section 2.03(b) shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to
the Trustee.
-37-
Upon discovery by either the Depositor, the Master Servicer or
the Trustee of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in this
Section 2.03 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall
give prompt written notice to the other parties.
SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of
the Seller.
The Depositor hereby assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholders its interest in respect of the representations and
warranties made by the Seller in each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the
exhibits thereto and in the Seller's Warranty Certificate. Insofar as any
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the Seller's Warranty Certificate relates to
any such representations and warranties and any remedies provided thereunder for
any breach of such representations and warranties, such right, title and
interest may be enforced by the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
Upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a
breach of any of the representations and warranties made in any Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement or the Seller's Warranty Certificate in respect of any
Mortgage Loan which are set forth in Exhibit J attached hereto which materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage
Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the
other parties. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller of such breach and
request that such Seller shall, within 90 days from the date that the Depositor,
the Master Servicer or the Trustee was notified of such breach, either (i) cure
such breach in all material respects or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from
the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price, plus all other amounts due under the
related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect thereof and in the manner
set forth in Section 2.02. Except as expressly set forth herein neither the
Trustee nor the Master Servicer is under any obligation to discover any breach
of the above mentioned representations and warranties. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure such breach or purchase such
Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders.
SECTION 2.05. Issuance of Certificates Evidencing
Interests in the Trust Fund.
The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage
Loans and the delivery of the Mortgage Files to it together with the assignment
to it of all other assets included in the Trust Fund, receipt of which is hereby

officer of the Depositor, has executed and caused to be authenticated and
delivered to, or upon the order of, the Depositor the Certificates in authorized
denominations which evidence ownership of the entire Trust Fund.
-38-
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE TRUST FUND
SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Master
Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with this Agreement, the related Mortgage Notes and
Mortgages and the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage
lenders in the respective states in which the Mortgaged Properties are located,
and shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through
Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all
things in connection with such servicing and administration that it may deem
necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby
authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Master Servicer believes it
appropriate in its best judgment, to (i) execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and
all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the
Mortgaged Properties, (ii) institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties,
and (iii) cause title to such properties to be held by the Trustee or its
nominee, on behalf of Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal
law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to
them thereby. Subject to Section 3.16, the Trustee shall execute based on the
written request of the Master Servicer and furnish to the Master Servicer and
any Sub-Servicer any special or limited powers of attorney and other documents
necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer and any Sub-Servicer to
carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Trustee shall
not be liable for any action taken by the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer
pursuant to the application of such special or limited powers of attorney.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph,
the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for
the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as
provided in Section 3.11. No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or by
Sub-Servicers in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties shall, for the purpose of calculating distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage
Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
It is expressly understood and agreed that in light of the
underwriting criteria applicable to the Mortgage Loans, special servicing
procedures are desirable in order to minimize the delinquency and loss
experience of the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer
-39-
hereby covenants that it will use reasonable efforts to prevent and to resolve
delinquencies promptly and appropriately in light of the underwriting criteria
applicable to the Mortgage Loans and that it will modify its procedures from
time to time in accordance with the reasonable written request of the Depositor.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer
shall not (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan
or such default is, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, reasonably
foreseeable) make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of
any Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect an exchange or reissuance of such
Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and cause the Trust Fund to fail to
qualify as a REMIC under the Code or (ii) cause the imposition of any tax on
"prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after the Startup Day under the
REMIC Provisions.
The relationship of the Master Servicer (and of any successor
to the Master Servicer under this Agreement) to the Trustee under this Agreement
is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that
of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
SECTION 3.02. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between
Master Servicer and Sub-Servicers.
(a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing
Agreements with SubServicers for the servicing and administration of the
Mortgage Loans and for the performance of any and all other activities of the
Master Servicer hereunder. Each Sub-Servicer shall be either (i) an institution
the accounts of which are insured by the FDIC or (ii) another entity that
engages in the business of originating or servicing mortgage loans, and in
either case shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in
which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to
the extent required by applicable law to enable the SubServicer to perform its
obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and in either case
shall be a FHLMC or FNMA approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing
Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the
provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage
Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. With the consent of the
Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Master Servicer
and the Sub-Servicers may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements and make
amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of
Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or
different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this
Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or entered
into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the
interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master
Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall
enforce the obligations of each SubServicer under the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in
respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement.
-40-
Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of
claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other
appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent
and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment,
would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master
Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, but shall
be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such
enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts
due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of
costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the party against whom such
enforcement is directed.
SECTION 3.03. Successor Sub-Servicers.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any
Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer
pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and
conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any
Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed
simultaneously by the Master Servicer without any act or deed on the part of
such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer either shall
service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing
Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02. Each
Sub-Servicing Agreement, if any, shall include the provision that such agreement
may be immediately terminated by any successor Master Servicer without cause and
without payment of any fee or penalty in the event that the Master Servicer
shall, for any reason, no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of
an Event of Default).
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master
Servicer shall include the provision that such agreement may be immediately
terminated without cause and without any termination fee by any successor Master
Servicer hereunder.
SECTION 3.04. Liability of the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the
Master Servicer and a SubServicer or reference to actions taken through a
Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and
primarily liable to the Trustee and Certificateholders for the servicing and
administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section
3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such
Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from
the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions
as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage
Loans. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to
have received payments on Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer has received such
payments. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with
a SubServicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Sub-Servicer
and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
-41-
SECTION 3.05. No Contractual Relationship Between
Sub-Servicers and Trustee or
Certificateholders.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer
in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between
the Sub-Servicer and the Master Servicer alone, and the Trustee and
Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer
except as set forth in Section 3.06.
SECTION 3.06. Assumption or Termination of
Sub-Servicing Agreements by Trustee.
In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no
longer be the master servicer (including by reason of an Event of Default), the
Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations
of the Master Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Master
Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee is then permitted and elects
to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms. Subject
to Section 3.03, the Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the
Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest
therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each
Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if the Sub-Servicing Agreements
had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall
not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Sub-Servicing
Agreements, and the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to any rights
or benefits which arose prior to its termination as master servicer.
The Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the
Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to
each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an
accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing
Agreements to the assuming party.
SECTION 3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan
Payments.
The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect
all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans,
and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement
and the terms and provisions of any related Insurance Policy, follow such
collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. The Master
Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect
to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Primary
Hazard Insurance Policy or otherwise or against any public or governmental
authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes
that it is prohibited by applicable law from enforcing the provision of the
Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required.
Notwithstanding the
-42-
foregoing, the Master Servicer may not waive any late payment charge or any
prepayment charge or penalty interest in connection with the prepayment of a
Mortgage Loan without the express written consent of the Seller, except as
otherwise required under applicable law. The Master Servicer shall be
responsible for preparing and distributing all information statements relating
to payments on the Mortgage Loans, in accordance with all applicable federal and
state tax laws and regulations.
SECTION 3.08. Sub-Servicing Accounts.
In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to
establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing
Account"). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall
otherwise be acceptable to the Master Servicer. All amounts held in a
Sub-Servicing Account shall be held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholders. The Sub-Servicer will be required to deposit into the
Sub-Servicing Account no later than the first Business Day after receipt all
proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer, less its servicing
compensation and any unreimbursed expenses and advances, to the extent permitted
by the Sub-Servicing Agreement. On each Sub-Servicer Remittance Date the
Sub-Servicer will be required to remit to the Master Servicer all funds held in
the SubServicing Account with respect to any Mortgage Loan as of the
Sub-Servicer Remittance Date, after deducting from such remittance an amount
equal to the servicing compensation and unreimbursed expenses and advances to
which it is then entitled pursuant to the related SubServicing Agreement, to the
extent not previously paid to or retained by it. In addition, on each
Sub-Servicer Remittance Date the Sub-Servicer will be required to remit to the
Master Servicer any amounts required to be advanced pursuant to the related
Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Sub-Servicer will also be required to remit to the
Master Servicer, within one Business Day of receipt, the proceeds of any
Principal Prepayment made by the Mortgagor and any Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds.
SECTION 3.09. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and
Similar Items; Servicing Accounts.
The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers shall establish and
maintain one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"), and shall deposit and
retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from
Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, Primary Hazard Insurance
Policy premiums, and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors, to the
extent that the Master Servicer customarily escrows for such amounts.
Withdrawals of amounts so collected from a Servicing Account may be made only to
(i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, Primary Hazard Insurance Policy
premiums and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Master Servicer (or a
Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out
of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.01 (with
respect to taxes and assessments), and 3.13 (with respect to Primary Hazard
Insurance Policies); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to
be overages; or (iv) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the
termination of this Agreement pursuant
-43-
to Section 9.01. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer or
Sub-Servicers shall, if and to the extent required by law, pay to the Mortgagors
interest on funds in Servicing Accounts from its or their own funds, without any
reimbursement therefor.
SECTION 3.10. Custodial Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or
more accounts (collectively, the "Custodial Account") in which the Master
Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis, or as and when
received from the Sub-Servicers, the following payments and collections received
or made by or on behalf of it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it
prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto (other
than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before
the Cut-off Date):
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans,
exclusive of any portion thereof representing interest in excess of the
related Net Mortgage Rate;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds, other than proceeds that represent
reimbursement of costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in
connection with presenting claims under the related Insurance Policies,
Liquidation Proceeds and REO Proceeds;
(iv) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property
repurchased or purchased in accordance with Sections 2.02, 2.04, 3.22
or 9.01;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Sections
3.12 or 3.13; and
(vi) all amounts transferred from the Certificate Account to the
Custodial Account in accordance with Section 4.01(b).
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial
Account shall be exclusive. In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in
the Custodial Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
withdraw such amount from the Custodial Account, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. The Custodial Account shall be maintained as a
segregated account, separate and apart from trust funds created for mortgage
pass-through certificates of other series, and the other accounts of the Master
Servicer.
(b) Funds in the Custodial Account may be invested in
Permitted Instruments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section
3.12. The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Depositor of
the location of the Custodial Account after any change thereof.
-44-
(c) Payments in the nature of prepayment fees and late payment
charges received on the Mortgage Loans shall not be deposited in the Custodial
Account, but rather shall be received and held by the Master Servicer solely for
the benefit of and at the direction of the Seller. Upon receipt, such amounts
shall be deposited by the Master Servicer into a separate account meeting the
requirements for an Eligible Account, and such amounts shall be distributed by
the Master Servicer to the Seller on a monthly basis. Such amounts shall not be
applied or made available by the Master Servicer for any other purpose.
SECTION 3.11. Permitted Withdrawals From the
Custodial Account.
The Master Servicer may, from time to time as provided herein,
make withdrawals from the Custodial Account of amounts on deposit therein
pursuant to Section 3.10 that are attributable to the Mortgage Loans for the
following purposes:
(i) to make deposits into the Certificate Account in
the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.01;
(ii) to pay to itself, the Depositor, the Seller or any
other appropriate person, as the case may be, with respect to each
Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or repurchased
pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.04, 3.22 or 9.01 all amounts received
thereon and not yet distributed as of the date of purchase or
repurchase;
(iii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for
Advances not previously reimbursed, the Master Servicer's or any
Sub-Servicer's right to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (iii)
being limited to amounts received which represent Late Collections (net
of the Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments on Mortgage Loans or REO
Property with respect to which such Advances were made and as further
provided in Section 3.15;
(iv) to reimburse itself, the Trustee or the Depositor
for expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Depositor pursuant to Sections 3.22, 6.03 or 10.01(c),
except as otherwise provided in such Sections;
(v) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for costs
and expenses incurred by or reimbursable to it relating to the
prosecution of any claims pursuant to Section 3.13 that are in excess
of the amounts so recovered;
(vi) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for unpaid
Servicing Fees and unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Master
Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right to reimbursement pursuant to
this clause (vi) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to
late recoveries of the payments for which such advances were made
pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.09 and any other related Late
Collections;
-45-
(vii) to pay itself as servicing compensation (in
addition to Servicing Fees), on or after each Distribution Date, any
interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the
Custodial Account for the period ending on such Distribution Date,
subject to Section 8.05;
(viii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for (a) any
Advance previously made which the Master Servicer has determined to be
a Nonrecoverable or (b) any Advance previously made with respect to a
delinquency that ultimately constituted an Excess Special Hazard Loss,
Excess Fraud Loss, Excess Bankruptcy Loss or Extraordinary Loss; and
(ix) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account at the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate
accounting records on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of
justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to such clauses
(ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii) and (viii).
In connection with clause (viii) above, the Trustee shall
notify the Master Servicer if and when the Certificate Principal Balances of the
Class A-2 Certificates, the Class B-1 Certificates, the Class B-2 Certificates
or the Class R Certificates have been reduced to zero.
SECTION 3.12. Permitted Instruments.
Any institution maintaining the Custodial Account shall at the
direction of the Master Servicer invest the funds in such account in Permitted
Instruments, each of which shall mature not later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the Certificate Account Deposit Date next following the
date of such investment (except that if such Permitted Instrument is an
obligation of the institution that maintains such account, then such Permitted
Instrument shall mature not later than such Certificate Account Deposit Date)
and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All income and gain
realized from any such investment as well as any interest earned on deposits in
the Custodial Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer. The
Master Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account (with respect to
investments made hereunder of funds held therein) an amount equal to the amount
of any loss incurred in respect of any such investment immediately upon
realization of such loss without right of reimbursement.
SECTION 3.13. Maintenance of Primary Hazard
Insurance.
(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan primary hazard insurance with extended coverage on the related
Mortgaged Property in an amount equal to the replacement value of the
improvements, as determined by the insurance company, on such Mortgaged
Property. The Master Servicer shall also cause to be maintained on property
acquired upon foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan,
-46-
fire insurance with extended coverage in an amount equal to the replacement
value of the improvements thereon. Pursuant to Section 3.10, any amounts
collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to
be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or
property thus acquired or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with
the Master Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the
Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11. Any cost
incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for
the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added
to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of
the Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or
other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on
property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance. When the improvements securing a Mortgage
Loan are located at any time during the life of such Mortgage Loan in a
federally designated special flood hazard area, the Master Servicer shall cause
flood insurance (to the extent available) to be maintained in respect thereof.
Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the
replacement value of the improvements, which are part of such Mortgaged Property
on a replacement cost basis and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance
available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance
program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is
participating in such program).
In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and
maintain a blanket fire insurance policy with extended coverage insuring against
hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to
have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this
Section 3.13, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that
there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy
complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.13 and there shall have
been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the
Certificate Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy
because of such deductible clause. Any such deposit by the Master Servicer shall
be made on the Certificate Account Deposit Date next preceding the Distribution
Date which occurs in the month following the month in which payments under any
such policy would have been deposited in the Custodial Account. In connection
with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the
Master Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and
Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.
SECTION 3.14. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses;
Assumption Agreements.
The Master Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of
any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged
Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or
not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage), exercise or cause to be exercised its rights to accelerate the
maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause applicable
-47-
thereto; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such
rights if it reasonably believes that it is prohibited by law from doing so. If
the Master Servicer is unable to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause (as provided
in the previous sentence) or if no "due-on-sale" clause is applicable, the
Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicer will enter into an assumption and
modification agreement with the Person to whom such property has been conveyed
or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable
under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law,
the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Master Servicer is also authorized to
enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to
which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is
substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Any fee
collected by or on behalf of the Master Servicer for entering into an assumption
or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by or on behalf of the
Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any
such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not
limited to the Mortgage Rate, the amount of the Monthly Payment, the Maximum
Rate, the Minimum Rate, the Gross Margin, the Periodic Rate Cap and any other
term affecting the amount or timing of payment on the Mortgage Loan) may be
changed. The Master Servicer shall not enter into any substitution or assumption
if such substitution or assumption shall (i) constitute a "significant
modification" effecting an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under
the Code (or final, temporary or proposed Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder) and cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the
REMIC Provisions or (ii) cause the imposition of any tax on "prohibited
transactions" or "contributions" after the Startup Day under the REMIC
provisions. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such
substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the
Trustee the original copy of such substitution or assumption agreement, which
copy shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be
considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other
documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision
of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default,
breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any
assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption that the
Master Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.14, the term "assumption" is deemed
to also include a sale of a Mortgaged Property that is not accompanied by an
assumption or substitution of liability agreement.
SECTION 3.15. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage
Loans.
The Master Servicer shall exercise reasonable efforts,
consistent with the procedures that the Master Servicer would use in servicing
loans for its own account, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert
(which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of properties securing such
of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments
pursuant to Section 3.07, and which are not released from the Trust Fund
pursuant to
-48-
any other provision hereof. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to
realize upon such defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the
receipt of principal and interest by Certificateholders, taking into account,
among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is
subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall
have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer shall not be
required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless
it shall determine in its sole discretion (i) that such restoration will
increase the net proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to
Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii)
that such expenses will be recoverable by the Master Servicer through Insurance
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as
contemplated in Section 3.11. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all
other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided,
however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related
property, as contemplated in Section 3.11.
The proceeds of any Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition, as
well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds
or Liquidation Proceeds or any income from an REO Property, will be applied in
the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, pursuant to
Section 3.11(vi) or 3.22; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage
Loan or REO Imputed Interest, at the Mortgage Rate, to the last day of the month
in which the Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition occurred, or to the Due Date
prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if
not in connection with a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition; and third, as a
recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so
allocated to interest is less than a full recovery thereof, that amount will be
allocated as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to interest
at the Net Mortgage Rate. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid
Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.11(vi). The portions of the recovery so allocated to
interest at the Net Mortgage Rate and to principal of the Mortgage Loan shall be
applied as follows: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or any SubServicer
for any related unreimbursed Advances in accordance with Section 3.11(iii) or
3.22, and second, for distribution in accordance with the provisions of Section
4.01(b), subject to Section 3.22 with respect to certain recoveries from an REO
Disposition constituting Excess Proceeds.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no REO
Property shall be acquired by the Trust Fund in such circumstances or 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
(unless all such REO Property not treated as "foreclosure property" held by the
REMIC at any given time constitutes not more than a DE MINIMIS amount of the
assets of the REMIC within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section
1.860D-1(b)(3)(i) and (ii)), or (ii) subject the Trust Fund to the imposition of
any federal income taxes under the Code, unless the Master Servicer has agreed
to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of
any such taxes.
-49-
SECTION 3.16. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of
Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt
by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed
in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately
notify the Trustee by a certification (which certification shall include a
statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial
Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited) of a
Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File in the
form of the Request for Release attached hereto as Exhibit F-2. Upon receipt of
such certification and request, the Trustee shall promptly release the related
Mortgage File to the Master Servicer. Subject to the receipt by the Master
Servicer of the proceeds of such payment in full and the payment of all related
fees and expenses, the Master Servicer shall arrange for the release to the
Mortgagor of the original cancelled Mortgage Note. All other documents in the
Mortgage File shall be retained by the Master Servicer to the extent required by
applicable law. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of
satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial
Account, the Excess Proceeds Account or the Certificate Account.
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall, upon
request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of a Request for
Release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, release the related Mortgage
File to the Master Servicer, and the Trustee shall execute such documents as the
Master Servicer shall prepare and request as being necessary to the prosecution
of any such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Master
Servicer to return each document previously requested from the Mortgage File to
the Trustee when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists,
unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds
relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or
the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a
public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of
initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of
the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Master
Servicer has delivered to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer
certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File
or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.
Upon receipt of a certification of a Servicing Officer in the form of the
Request for Release attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, stating that such Mortgage
Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the
Custodial Account have been or will be so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan
has become an REO Property, a copy of such Request for Release shall be released
by the Trustee to the Master Servicer.
Upon written request of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver to the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for
trustee's sale or other documents prepared by the Master Servicer that are
necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect
-50-
of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment
against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency
judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such request
that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee shall include a
certification as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that
the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or
otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a
lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
SECTION 3.17. Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to retain, from deposits to the Custodial Account of
amounts representing payments or recoveries of interest, the Servicing Fees with
respect to each Mortgage Loan (less any portion of such amounts retained by any
Sub-Servicer). In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover
unpaid Servicing Fees out of related Late Collections to the extent permitted in
Section 3.11.
The Master Servicer also shall be entitled pursuant to Section
3.11 to receive from the Custodial Account as additional servicing compensation
interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.23, as
well as any assumption fees and reconveyance fees. The Master Servicer shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder (including payment of the premiums for any blanket policy
insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.13, servicing compensation
of the SubServicers to the extent not retained by it and the fees and expenses
of the Trustee), and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as
specifically provided in Section 3.11. The Servicing Fee may not be transferred
in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master
Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.18. Maintenance of Certain Servicing
Policies.
During the term of its service as Master Servicer, the Master
Servicer shall maintain in force (i) a policy or policies of insurance covering
errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as servicer hereunder
and (ii) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees or agents. Each
such policy or policies and bond shall, together, comply with the requirements
from time to time of FNMA or FHLMC for persons performing servicing for mortgage
loans purchased by such corporation. The Master Servicer shall prepare and
present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under
any such errors and omissions policy or policies or fidelity bond in a timely
fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy or bond, and upon the filing
of any claim on any policy or bond described in this Section, the Master
Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any such claims and the Trustee
shall notify the Rating Agency of such claim.
-51-
SECTION 3.19. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Master Servicer will deliver to the Trustee and the
Depositor on or before April 30 of each year, beginning with April 30, 1997, an
Officers' Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review
of the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding fiscal year and of
its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers'
supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such
review, the Master Servicer has complied in all material respects with the
minimum servicing standards set forth in the Uniform Single Attestation Program
For Mortgage Bankers and has fulfilled all of its obligation under this
Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been noncompliance with such
servicing standards or a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation such
officer's Certificate shall describe such noncompliance or specify, each such
default known to such officers and the nature and status thereof.
SECTION 3.20. Annual Independent Public
Accountants' Servicing Statement.
On or before April 30 of each year, beginning with April 30,
1996, the Master Servicer at its expense shall furnish to the Depositor, the
Trustee and the Seller (i) an opinion by a firm of independent certified public
accountants on the financial position of the Master Servicer at the end of its
fiscal year and the results of operations and changes in financial position of
the Master Servicer for such year then ended on the basis of an examination
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and (ii) a
report from such independent certified public accountants to the effect that
based on an examination of certain specified documents and records relating to
the servicing of the Master Servicer's mortgage loan portfolio conducted
substantially in accordance with standards established by the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants, such firm is of the opinion that the assertion
made pursuant to Section 3.19 regarding compliance with the minimum servicing
standards set forth in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers during the preceding fiscal year is fairly stated in all material
respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that, in the
opinion of such firm, such accounting standards require it to report. In
rendering such statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating to direct
servicing of mortgage loans by Sub-Servicers, upon comparable reports for
examinations conducted substantially in accordance with such accounting
standards (rendered within one year of such statement) of independent public
accountants with respect to the related Sub-Servicer. Copies of such report
shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at the
Master Servicer's expense, provided such statement is delivered by the Master
Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.21. Access to Certain Documentation.
(a) The Master Servicer shall provide to the OTS, the FDIC and
other federal banking regulatory agencies, and their respective examiners,
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable
regulations of the OTS, the FDIC and such other agencies. Such access shall be
afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and
-52-
prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices of the
Master Servicer designated by it. Nothing in this Section shall derogate from
the obligation of the Master Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting
disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Master
Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such
obligation shall not constitute a breach of this section.
(b) The Master Servicer shall afford the Depositor and the
Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all
records maintained by the Master Servicer in respect of its rights and
obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer responsible
for such obligations. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall furnish the
Depositor and the Trustee with its most recent financial statements and such
other information as the Master Servicer possesses regarding its business,
affairs, property and condition, financial or otherwise to the extent related to
the servicing of the Mortgage Loans. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to,
enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not
obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation
of the Master Servicer hereunder or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer
hereunder; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its
obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its
designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any
action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and is not obligated to
supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or
otherwise.
SECTION 3.22. Title, Conservation and Disposition
of REO Property.
This Section shall apply only to REO Properties acquired for
the account of the Trust Fund, and shall not apply to any REO Property relating
to a Mortgage Loan which was purchased or repurchased from the Trust Fund
pursuant to any provision hereof. In the event that title to any such REO
Property is acquired, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the
Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Master
Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall either sell any REO Property within
two years after the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such REO Property for
purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or, at the expense of the Trust Fund,
request, more than 60 days before the day on which the two-year grace period
would otherwise expire, an extension of the two-year grace period, unless the
Master Servicer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund),
addressed to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, to the effect that the holding
by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to two years after its
acquisition will not result in the imposition on the Trust Fund of taxes on
"prohibited transactions" thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or
cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions at
any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer shall
manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the
Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in
a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) or result in the
receipt by the Trust Fund of any "income from nonpermitted 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
-53-
REMIC Provisions. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master
Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer
protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as
is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may,
incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the
Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Master Servicer
deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders for the period prior
to the sale of such REO Property.
Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in
the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other
consideration).
The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property
separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. The Master Servicer
shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in the Custodial
Account all revenues received with respect to the REO Properties, net of any
directly related expenses incurred and funds withheld therefrom that are
necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO
Property.
If as of the date of acquisition of title to any REO Property
there remain outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to such
REO Property or any outstanding Advances allocated thereto the Master Servicer,
upon an REO Disposition, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unreimbursed related Advances as well as
any unpaid Servicing Fees from proceeds received in connection with the REO
Disposition, as further provided in Section 3.15.
The REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Master
Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Master Servicer
shall determine.
The Master Servicer shall deposit the proceeds from the REO
Disposition, net of any payment to the Master Servicer as provided above, in the
Custodial Account upon receipt thereof for distribution in accordance with
Section 4.01; provided that any such net proceeds which are in excess of the
applicable Stated Principal Balance plus all unpaid REO Imputed Interest thereon
through the last day of the month in which the REO Disposition occurred ("Excess
Proceeds") shall be deposited into the Excess Proceeds Account in accordance
with the provisions of Section 3.25(a).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.22,
with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer has received
notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous
substance on the Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify
the Seller and request the Depositor to provide directions and instructions with
respect to such Mortgage Loan and shall act in accordance with any such
directions and instructions provided by the Depositor. Furthermore,
notwithstanding the preceding sentence of this Section 3.22, with respect to any
Mortgage Loan described by such sentence, the Master Servicer shall not, on
behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to the related Mortgaged Property
as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise
-54-
acquire possession of, the related Mortgaged Property, unless (i) the Depositor
and the Trustee jointly direct the Master Servicer to take such action and (ii)
either (A) the Master Servicer has, at least 30 days prior to taking such
action, obtained and delivered to the Depositor an environmental audit report
prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary
industry standards or (B) the Depositor has directed the Master Servicer not to
obtain an environmental audit report. If the Depositor has not provided
directions and instructions to the Master Servicer in connection with any such
Mortgage Loan within 30 days of a request by the Master Servicer for such
directions and instructions, then the Master Servicer shall take such action as
it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund (other than
proceeding against the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized at such time
as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the
related Mortgage. The Master Servicer hereby agrees that it shall not require
the Seller to repurchase any Mortgage Loan under the provisions of any
applicable agreement, if the Depositor has directed the Master Servicer to take
any action as described in the second preceding sentence in connection with the
related Mortgaged Property and if the Master Servicer at the time of such
direction had notice of the presence of such toxic or hazardous substance,
unless the Seller was notified of such toxic or hazardous substance and
consented to the action so directed by the Master Servicer.
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by
this Section 3.22 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as an expense of the
Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be reimbursed therefor from the
Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement
being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the
Custodial Account.
If the Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it
is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property in compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance,
containment, clean-up or remediation shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as
an expense of the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.11, any
such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders
to receive any amount in the Custodial Account.
The Master Servicer shall have the option to purchase from the
Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more delinquent (90 days or more
delinquent shall mean delinquent as to 4 or more Monthly Payments) and that the
Master Servicer determines in good faith will otherwise become subject to
foreclosure proceedings (such determination to be evidenced by an Officer's
Certificate of the Master Servicer delivered to the Trustee prior to purchase)
for an amount equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage
Loan purchased pursuant to this Section 3.22 shall be deposited in the Custodial
Account, and upon receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer of
such deposit, the Trustee shall

release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer the related Mortgage File

judgment of the Depositor be determined by it.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of
Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of
such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held in trust and credited to the account of the appropriate
non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been

cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to

the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall take reasonable steps as directed by the
Depositor, or appoint an agent to take reasonable steps, to contact the
remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of
contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in
the Trust Fund. If within nine months after the second notice any such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets
which remain subject hereto. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any
Certificateholder on any amount held in trust as a result of such
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment
thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(e).
(f) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to

(xi) the book value of any REO Property as of the close
of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month preceding
the Distribution Date;
(xii) the Pass-Through Rate in effect for the preceding
calendar month with respect to the Class SA Certificates, the Class A-1
Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class B-1 Certificates,
the Class B-2 Certificates and the Class R Certificates;
-67-
(xiii) the aggregate Accrued Certificate Interest
remaining unpaid, if any, for each Class of Certificates, after giving
effect to the distribution made on such Distribution Date;
(xiv) the Special Hazard Amount, Fraud Loss Amount and
Bankruptcy Amount remaining available immediately after such
Distribution Date;
(xv) the aggregate Realized Losses incurred since the
Cut-off Date;
(xvi) the aggregate Realized Losses allocated on such
Distribution Date; and
(xvii) the amount of any Excess Proceeds distributed to
each class of Certificates.
In the case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses
(i)-(iii) above, the amounts shall also be expressed as a dollar amount per
Single Certificate.
On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall prepare and
forward, to each Holder of a Class R Certificate a statement setting forth the
amounts actually distributed with respect to the Class R Certificates on such
Distribution Date.
Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each
calendar year, the Trustee shall prepare and forward, to each Person who at any
time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Senior Certificate, a Class B
Certificate, a Class SB Certificate or a Residual Certificate a statement
containing the information set forth in subclauses (i) - (iii) above, aggregated
for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such person
was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be
provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code and regulations
thereunder as from time to time are in force.
SECTION 4.03. Remittance Reports; Advances by the
Master Servicer.
(a) On the second Business Day following each Determination
Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a report, prepared as of
the close of business on the Determination Date (the "Determination Date
Report"), in the form of an electromagnetic tape or disk. The Determination Date
Report and any written information supplemental thereto shall include such
information with respect to the Mortgage Loans that is reasonably available to
the Master Servicer and that is required by the Trustee for purposes of making
the calculations referred to in the following paragraph, as set forth in written
specifications or guidelines issued by the Trustee from time to time. Not later
than 10:00 A.M. Los Angeles time on the Business Day preceding each Certificate
Account Deposit Date, the Trustee shall furnish by telecopy to the Master
Servicer a statement (the information in such statement to be made available to
Certificateholders or the Depositor by the Master Servicer on request) setting
forth (i) the
-68-
Available Distribution Amount and (ii) the amounts required to be withdrawn from
the Custodial Account and deposited into the Certificate Account on the
immediately succeeding Certificate Account Deposit Date pursuant to clause (iii)
of Section 4.01(a). The Trustee shall have no obligation to recompute,
recalculate or verify any information provided to it by the Master Servicer. The
determination by the Trustee of such amounts shall, in the absence of obvious
error, be presumptively deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder.
(b) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day
preceding each Certificate Account Deposit Date, the Trustee shall notify the
Master Servicer of the aggregate amount of Advances required to be made for the
related Distribution Date, which shall be in an aggregate amount equal to the
aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fees), less
the amount of any related Debt Service Reductions or reductions in the amount of
interest collectable from the Mortgagor pursuant to the Soldiers' and Sailors'
Civil Relief Act of 1940, as amended on the Outstanding Mortgage Loans as of the
related Due Date, which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of
business as of the related Determination Date; provided that, no Advance shall
be made if it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. On or before 2:00 P.M. Los
Angeles time on each Certificate Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall
either (i) deposit in the Certificate Account from its own funds, or funds
received therefor from the Sub-Servicers, an amount equal to the Advances to be
made by the Master Servicer in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii)
withdraw from amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and deposit in the
Certificate Account all or a portion of the amounts held for future distribution
in discharge of any such Advance, or (iii) make advances in the form of any
combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advances. Any portion
of the amounts held for future distribution so used shall be replaced by the
Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account on or before 11:00 A.M.
Los Angeles time on any future Certificate Account Deposit Date to the extent
that funds attributable to the Mortgage Loans that are available in the
Custodial Account for deposit in the Certificate Account on such Certificate
Account Deposit Date shall be less than payments to Certificateholders required
to be made on the following Distribution Date. The amount of any reimbursement
pursuant to any clause under Section 4.01(b), in respect of outstanding Advances
on any Distribution Date shall be allocated to specific Monthly Payments due but
delinquent for previous Due Periods, which allocation shall be made, to the
extent practicable, to Monthly Payments which have been delinquent for the
longest period of time. Such allocations shall be conclusive for purposes of
reimbursement to the Master Servicer from recoveries on related Mortgage Loans
pursuant to Section 3.11. The determination by the Master Servicer that it has
made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by a certificate of a
Servicing Officer delivered to the Seller and the Trustee. The Trustee shall
deposit all funds it receives pursuant to this Section 4.03 into the Certificate
Account.
(c) In the event that the Master Servicer determines as of the
Business Day preceding any Certificate Account Deposit Date that it will be
unable to deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the aggregate of
the Advances required to be made for the immediately succeeding Distribution
Date in the amount determined by the Trustee pursuant to
-69-
paragraph (b) above, it shall give notice to the Trustee of its inability to
advance (such notice may be given by telecopy), not later than 3:00 P.M., Los
Angeles time, on such Business Day, specifying the portion of such amount that
it will be unable to deposit. Not later than 5:30 P.M., Los Angeles time, on the
Certificate Account Deposit Date, unless by such time the Master Servicer shall
have directly or indirectly deposited in the Certificate Account the entire
amount of the Advances required to be made for the related Distribution Date,
pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall (a) terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement in accordance with
Section 7.01 and (b) assume the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
hereunder, including the obligation to deposit in the Certificate Account an
amount equal to the Advances for the immediately succeeding Distribution Date;
provided, however, that the Trustee's obligation to advance such amounts shall
be as of the related Distribution Date.
SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.
Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall
determine the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, that resulted from any
Cash Liquidation, Debt Service Reduction, Deficient Valuation or REO Disposition
that occurred during the related Prepayment Period. The amount of each Realized
Loss shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate by the Master Servicer.
Realized Losses shall be allocated among the various Classes of Certificates as
determined by the Trustee in accordance with the following provisions. All
Realized Losses other than Excess Special Hazard Losses, Extraordinary Losses,
Excess Bankruptcy Losses or Excess Fraud Losses, shall be allocated first to the
Class R Certificates, then to the Class SB Certificates (to the extent of the
interest portions of such Realized Losses), then to the Class B-2 Certificates,
then to the Class B-1 Certificates, then to the Class A-2 Certificates, in each
case (other than for the Class SB Certificates) until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero, and, thereafter, the principal portion
of any Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans will be allocated to the Class A-1
Certificates and the interest portion thereof to the Class SA Certificates and
Class A-1 Certificates on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans will not be allocated to any of the Senior
Certificates or the Class B Certificates on any Distribution Date to the extent
that such Realized Losses are less than the sum of (i) the Available
Distribution Amount on such Distribution Date after the distribution made
pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(ix) and (ii) the Certificate Principal Balance of
the Class R Certificates immediately prior to such Distribution Date. Any Excess
Special Hazard Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses, Excess Fraud Losses and
Extraordinary Losses on the Mortgage Loans will be allocated to the Class SA
Certificates, the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class
B Certificates, the Class SB Certificates and the Class R Certificates on a pro
rata basis, as and to the extent described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any such Realized Losses on the Mortgage loan will not be allocated to any of
the Certificates on any Distribution Date to the extent that such Realized
losses together with any other Realized Losses are less than the sum of (i) the
portion of the Available Distribution Amount on such Distribution Date remaining
after the distribution made pursuant to section 4.01 (b)(ix) and (ii) the
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class R Certificates immediately prior to
such Distribution Date.
-70-
Any Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses,
Excess Fraud Losses and Extraordinary Losses on the Mortgage Loans will be
allocated to the Class SA Certificates, the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class
A-2 Certificates, the Class B Certificates, the Class SB Certificates and the
Class R Certificates on a pro rata basis, as and to the extent described below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans
will not be allocated to any of the Senior Certificates or Class B Certificates
on any Distribution Date to the extent that such Realized Losses together with
any other Realized Losses are less than the sum of (i) the portion of the
Available Distribution Amount on such Distribution Date remaining after the
distribution made pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(ix) and (ii) the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class R Certificates immediately prior to such
Distribution Date. As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a "pro
rata basis" among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an
allocation on a pro rata basis, without priority among the various Classes so
specified, to each such Class of Certificates on the basis of the then
outstanding Certificate Principal Balances thereof in the case of the principal
portion of a Realized Loss or based on the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon
in the case of an interest portion of a Realized Loss. Any allocation of the
principal portion of Realized Losses (other than Debt Service Reductions) to a
Certificate (except as follows) shall be made by reducing the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated, which allocation shall be
deemed to have occurred at the close of business on such Distribution Date. Any
allocation of the principal portion of Realized Losses (other than Debt Service
Reductions) to the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding, shall be
made by operation of the definition of "Certificate Principal Balance," and by
operation of the provisions of Section 4.01(b). Allocations of the interest
portions of Realized Losses shall be made by operation of the definition of
"Accrued Certificate Interest" and by operation of the provisions of Section
4.01(b). Allocations of the principal portion of Debt Service Reductions shall
be made by operation of the provisions of Section 4.01(b). All Realized Losses
and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates hereunder will be
allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage
Interests evidenced thereby. For purposes of the foregoing, the Trustee shall
maintain records relating to the Bankruptcy Amount, Fraud Loss Amount and
Special Hazard Amount as in effect from time to time.
SECTION 4.05. Information Reports to be Filed by
the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall file information
returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or
business, reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and
cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as
required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively, and
promptly deliver upon such filing to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate
stating that such reports have been filed. Such reports shall be in form and
substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections
6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
-71-
SECTION 4.06. Compliance with Withholding
Requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to
Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount on the Mortgage Loans,
and payments of interest or discount on amounts invested by the Trustee as agent
for Certificateholders pursuant to an election made under Section 4.01 hereof,
that the Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent
of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event
the Trustee withholds any amount from interest or original issue discount
payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, the Trustee shall, together with its monthly report to
such Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, indicate such amount
withheld.

ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates will be substantially in the respective
forms annexed hereto as Exhibits A, B-1, B-2 and B-3. The Certificates will be
issuable in registered form only. Except as provided in Section 5.01(b), the
Class SA Certificates and the Class A-1 Certificates shall be issuable in
denominations evidencing initial Certificate Principal Balances or Notional
Amounts, as applicable, of not less than $1.00 and integral multiples of $1.00
in excess thereof. The Class A-2 Certificates and Class B-1 Certificates shall
be issuable in denominations evidencing initial Certificate Principal Balances
of not less than $25,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof,
Class of Certificates may be issued in an amount evidencing the sum of the
authorized and the Class B-2 Certificates will be issuable in denominations
evidencing initial Certificate Principal Balances of not less than $250,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, except that one Certificate of
each such Class of Certificates may be issued in an amount evidencing the sum of
the authorized minimum denomination thereof and the remainder of the aggregate
initial Certificate Principal Balance of such Class. The Class SB Certificates
will be issuable in denominations evidencing initial Notional Amounts of not
less than $250,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, except
that one Certificate of the Class SB Certificates may be issued in an amount
evidencing the sum of the authorized minimum denomination thereof and the
remainder of the aggregate initial Notional Amount of such Class. The Residual
Certificates will be issuable in denominations of any Percentage Interest
representing 5.00% and multiples of 0.01% in excess thereof; provided, however,
that one Class R Certificate may be issued to the "tax matters person" pursuant
to Article X, in a minimum denomination representing a Percentage Interest of
not less than 0.01%.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall, upon the written
request of the Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor, be executed
and delivered by the Trustee, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered to or
upon the order of the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents
specified in Section 2.01. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or
facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee in its capacity as trustee
hereunder by a Responsible Officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the
Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of
them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery
of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate
a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any
Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates issued on the Closing Date shall
-73-
be dated the Closing Date and any Certificates delivered thereafter shall be
dated the date of their authentication.
(b) The Class SA Certificates and the Class A-1 Certificates
shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates registered in the name of
the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below, registration of
such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another
Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate
Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their
respective Ownership Interests in and to each of the Class SA Certificates and
the Class A-1 Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository
and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to Definitive Certificates
in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of
their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be
made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant
or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository
Participant shall transfer the Ownership Interests only in the Book-Entry
Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which
it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor may for all
purposes (including the making of payments due on the respective Classes of
Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized
representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the respective Classes
of Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of
Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to
the respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the
Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate
Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as
Holder of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular
matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Certificate Owners. The Trustee shall utilize the next available
record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by
Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.
If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that
the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee in
writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the
Depository, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the
Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of
transfer, the Trustee shall, at the Depositor's expense, issue the Definitive
Certificates. The Definitive Certificates shall be issuable in denominations
evidencing initial Certificate Principal Balances or Notional Amounts, as
applicable, of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof, except
that any such Definitive Certificate that was represented by a Book-Entry
Certificate
-74-
evidencing an initial Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount of less
than $1,000 immediately prior to the issuance of such Definitive Certificate
shall be issued in a denomination, the initial Certificate Principal Balance or
Notional Amount, as the case may be evidenced by such Book-Entry Certificate.
Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be liable for
any actions taken by the Depository or its nominee, including, without
limitation, 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, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or
to be performed by the Depository in connection with the issuance of the
Definitive Certificates pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall be deemed to be
imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Master
Servicer shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.
SECTION 5.02. Registration of Transfer and
Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall maintain a Certificate Register in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee
shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
(b) Except as provided in Section 5.02(c), no transfer, sale,
pledge or other disposition of a Class B-2 Certificate, Class SB Certificate or
a Class R Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other
disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and any applicable state securities laws or is
made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that a transfer of a
Class B-2 Certificate, Class SB Certificate or a Class R Certificate is to be
made under this Section 5.02(b), (i) the Depositor may direct the Trustee to
require an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer shall be made
pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis
therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Depositor
or the Master Servicer, provided that such Opinion of Counsel will not be
required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the
Depositor or any affiliate thereof, to a non-affiliate of the Depositor and (ii)
the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute a representation letter,
substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 hereto, and the Trustee shall require
the transferor to execute a representation letter, substantially in the form of
Exhibit G-2 hereto, each acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to
the Depositor and the Trustee certifying to the Depositor and the Trustee the
facts surrounding such transfer, which representation letters shall not be an
expense of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer; provided however
that such representation letters will not be required in connection with any
transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a
representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a written
representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an
affiliate of the Depositor. Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor
and the Master Servicer against any liability that
-75-
may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with
such applicable federal and state laws.
(c) Transfers of Class SB and Class R Certificates may be made
in accordance with this Section 5.02(c) if the prospective transferee of such a
Certificate provides the Trustee and the Depositor with an investment letter
substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto, which investment letter
shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer,
and which investment letter states that, among other things, such transferee is
a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined under Rule 144A. Such transfers
shall be deemed to have complied with the requirements of Section 5.02(b)
hereof; provided, however, that no Transfer of any of the Class B-2 Certificate,
Class SB and Class R Certificates may be made pursuant to this Section 5.02(c)
by the Depositor. Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer
shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so
exempt or is not made in accordance with such applicable federal and state laws.
(d) The Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel from a
prospective transferee prior to the transfer of any Class A-2 Certificate, Class
B-1 Certificate, Class B-2 Certificate, Class SB Certificate or Class R
Certificate to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement,
including individual retirement accounts and ▇▇▇▇▇ plans, that is subject to
Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA") or Section 4975 of the Code (any of the foregoing, a "Plan"), to a
trustee or other Person acting on behalf of any Plan, or to any other person who
is using "plan assets" of any Plan to effect such acquisition (including any
insurance company using funds in its general or separate accounts that may
constitute "plan assets"). Such Opinion of Counsel must establish to the
satisfaction of the Depositor and the Trustee that such disposition will not
violate the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA and
Section 4975 of the Code. Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the
Trustee will be required to obtain such Opinion of Counsel on behalf of any
prospective transferee. In the case of any transfer of the foregoing
Certificates to an insurance company, in lieu of such Opinion of Counsel, the
Trustee shall require a certification in the form of Exhibit G-5 (or in such
other form as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Depositor and the Trustee)
substantially to the effect that all funds used by such transferee to purchase
such Certificates will be funds held by it in its general account which it
reasonably believes do not constitute "plan assets" of any Plan (as defined
above); provided however that such certification will not be required in
connection with any transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an
affiliate of the Depositor and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively
rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a
written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as
an affiliate of the Depositor. The permission of any transfer in violation of
the restriction on transfer set forth in this paragraph shall not constitute a
default or an Event of Default.
(e) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or
acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the
following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the
-76-
Trustee or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a
Person other than such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale
under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do
all other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its
status as a Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery
to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate
until its receipt of (I) an affidavit and agreement (a "Transfer
Affidavit and Agreement" in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-3)
from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Master Servicer and the Trustee representing and warranting, among
other things, that it is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not
acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is
the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for
any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it
retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will
endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the
provisions of this Section 5.02 and agrees to be bound by them, and
(II) a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-4, from
the Holder wishing to transfer the Residual Certificate, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer and the Trustee
representing and warranting, among other things, that no purpose of the
proposed Transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to this transaction has
actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted
Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit
and Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to
transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate and (y) not
to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a certificate to
the Trustee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-4.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such
Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a
"pass-through interest holder" within the meaning of Temporary Treasury
Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it is "a pass-through
interest holder",
-77-
or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf
of a "pass-through interest holder."
(ii) The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Residual
Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-3, a certificate of the Holder
requesting such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-4 and all of
such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trustee as a
condition to such registration. Transfers of the Residual Certificates to
Non-United States Persons and Disqualified Organizations are prohibited.
(iii) (A) If any Disqualified Organization shall become a
Holder of a Residual Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee
shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations
as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of
such Residual Certificate. If a Non-United States Person shall become a Holder
of a Residual Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such
Residual Certificate. If a transfer of a Residual Certificate is disregarded
pursuant to the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section
1.860G-3, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the
extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Residual
Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted
by this Section 5.02 or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such holder under
the provisions of this Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder
of a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02
and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder
of such Residual Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Trustee shall have the right,
without notice to the holder or any prior holder of such Residual Certificate,
to sell such Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Trustee on such
terms as the Trustee may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly
endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance with the
instructions of the Trustee. Such purchaser may be the Trustee itself. The
proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions
payable to the Trustee), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the
Trustee to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under
this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee,
and the Trustee shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue
Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions, all information
necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the transfer of an
ownership interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified
Organization, including the information regarding "excess
-78-
inclusions" of such Class R Certificates required to be provided to the Internal
Revenue Service and certain Persons as described in Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E- 2(a)(5), and (B) as a result of any
regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund,
partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code
that holds an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its
record holders at any time any Person who is a Disqualified Organization. The
Trustee may charge and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for
providing such information as may be required from those Persons which may have
had a tax imposed upon them as specified in clauses (A) and (B) of this
paragraph for providing such information.
(f) Subject to the preceding paragraphs, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office of the Trustee
maintained for such purpose, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate
Percentage Interest. Every Certificate surrendered for transfer shall be
accompanied by notification of the account of the designated transferee or
transferees for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01
by wire transfer, if any such transferee desires and is eligible for
distribution by wire transfer.
(g) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may
be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of the same
Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office of the Trustee. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the
exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for
transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by,
or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory
to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing.
(h) No service charge shall be made to the Certificateholders
for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(i) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange
shall be canceled and retained by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee's

If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee
and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss
or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee such
security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for
-79-
or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of the same Class and initial Certificate Principal Balance. Upon
the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may require
the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the
fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued,
whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any
time.
SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent
of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered
as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions
pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.

ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 6.01. Liability of the Depositor and the
Master Servicer.
The Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
upon and undertaken by the Depositor and the Master Servicer herein.
SECTION 6.02. Merger, Consolidation or Conversion
of the Depositor or the Master
Servicer.
The Depositor and the Master Servicer each will keep in full
effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of
the state of its incorporation, and each will obtain and preserve its
qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in
which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Depositor may be merged,
consolidated or converted, or any corporation resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Depositor shall be a party, or any Person succeeding
to the business of the Depositor, shall be the successor of the Depositor
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.
Any Person into which the Master Servicer may be merged,
consolidated or converted, or any corporation resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the
Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, however, that
the successor or surviving Person to the Master Servicer must meet the criteria
set forth in Section 7.03 for a successor Master Servicer and shall be qualified
to sell mortgage loans to and service mortgage loans for FNMA or FHLMC.
SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and
Others.
Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Master Servicer
shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor or the Master Servicer (but this
provision shall protect the above described persons) against any breach of
warranties or representations made
-81-
herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.01 or any other Section hereof; and provided further that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any such
person, against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor,
the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor or the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any
kind PRIMA FACIE properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any
matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or
expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement
or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense related to Master
Servicer's servicing obligations with respect to any specific Mortgage Loan or
Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise
reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or related to the Master Servicer's
obligations under Section 3.01, or any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of
duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor the Master Servicer shall be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not
incidental to its respective duties under this Agreement and which in its
opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the
Depositor or the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such
action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement
and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the
Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of
such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except any action or
liability related to the Master Servicer's obligations under Section 3.01) shall
be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor and the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Certificate
Account as provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior
to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Certificate
Account.
SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of the
Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it except (a) upon the (i) appointment by the Depositor
of the Trustee or a successor servicer that is reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee and that meets the criteria set forth in Section 7.03 for a successor
Master Servicer and (ii) receipt by the Trustee of a letter from each Rating
Agency that such a resignation and appointment will not, in and of itself,
result in a downgrading of the Certificates or (b) upon a determination that its
duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and the
satisfaction of the conditions specified in clause (a)(i) above. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No
such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor
servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties,
liabilities and obligations hereunder.
-82-
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
SECTION 7.01. Events of Default.
"Event of Default", wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events:
(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Trustee
for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment (other than an
Advance) required to be made under the terms of the Certificates or
this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of five days
after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the
same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by
the Depositor (with a copy to the Trustee) or the Trustee, or to the
Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or
(ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to
observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants
or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in the
Certificates or in this Agreement (including any breach of the Master
Servicer's representations and warranties pursuant to Section 2.03(a)
which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders) which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days
after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the
same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by
the Depositor (with a copy to the Trustee) or the Trustee, or to the
Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in an involuntary case under any present
or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the
appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities
or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its
affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such
decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed
for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment
of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings
of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or
substantially all of its property; or
(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to
pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
advantage of or otherwise voluntarily commence a case or proceeding
under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
-83-
reorganization or other similar statute, make an assignment for the
benefit of its credi- tors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its
obligations; or
(vi) the Master Servicer shall fail to deposit in the Certificate
Account on any Certificate Account Deposit Date an amount equal to any
required Advance.
If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) - (v) of this Section shall
occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default
shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the
direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice to the Master Servicer (and to the
Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor)
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement and in and to the Trust Fund, other than its rights as a
Certificateholder hereunder. If an Event of Default described in clause (vi)
hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice to the Master Servicer and the
Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement and in and to the Trust Fund, other than its rights as a
Certificateholder hereunder; provided, however, that if the Trustee determines
that the failure by the Master Servicer to make any required Advance was due to
circumstances beyond its control, and the required Advance was otherwise made,
the Trustee shall not terminate the Master Servicer. On or after the receipt by
the Master Servicer of such notice, all authority and power of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other
than as a holder thereof) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and
be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without
limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any
and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts
or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of
the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer
agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation,
the transfer to the Trustee or its appointed agent for administration by it of
all cash amounts which shall at the time be deposited by the Master Servicer or
should have been deposited to the Custodial Account, the Excess Proceeds Account
or the Certificate Account or thereafter be received with respect to the
Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have breached any obligation
hereunder as a result of a failure to make or delay in making any distribution
as and when required hereunder caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to
remit any amounts received on it or to deliver any documents held by it with
respect to the Mortgage Loans. For purposes of this Section 7.01, the Trustee
shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee's
Corporate Trust Division has actual knowledge thereof or unless notice of any
event which is in fact such an Event of Default is received by the Trustee and
such notice references the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement. The
Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Depositor and the Trustee of any event
that, with notice the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of
Default and of any event that is in fact an Event of Default.
-84-
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of Temple-Inland Mortgage
Corporation ("TIMC") in its capacity as Master Servicer hereunder, TIMC shall be
entitled to receive, out of any Late Collection of a Monthly Payment on a
Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating TIMC's rights and
obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that
portion to which TIMC would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.11(ii),
(iii), (iv), (v) and (viii) and Sections 4.01(b)(v) as well as its Servicing Fee
in respect thereof, and any other amounts payable to TIMC hereunder the
entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder.
SECTION 7.02. Termination Event.
The Trustee shall determine, beginning with the Determination
Date in March 1997 and as determined by the Trustee annually thereafter based on
information provided by the Master Servicer, whether the following tests are
satisfied: (a) if such Determination Date is in or before March 2001, whether
the related Total Expected Losses are greater than 50% of the Initial Loss
Coverage or (b) if such Determination Date is after March 2001 and in or before
March 2006, whether the related Total Expected Losses are greater than 75% of
the Initial Loss Coverage. If either of the tests in the previous sentence are
satisfied, a termination event (a "Termination Event") shall occur, and the
Trustee shall give notice to the Certificateholders, the Depositor and the
Master Servicer within 5 days of the occurrence of such Termination Event, and
upon the direction of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights, received within 90 days of such notice, the Trustee shall, by
notice to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Trust
Fund, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. On or after the
receipt by the Master Servicer of such notice, all authority and power of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates
(other than as a holder thereof) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass
to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without
limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any
and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts
or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of
the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer
agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation,
the transfer to the Trustee or its appointed agent for administration by it of
all cash amounts which shall at the time be deposited by the Master Servicer or
should have been deposited to the Custodial or the Certificate Account or
thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall not
be deemed to have breached any obligation hereunder as a result of a failure to
make or delay in making any distribution as and when required hereunder caused
by the failure of the Master Servicer to remit any amounts received on it or to
deliver any documents held by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
-85-
SECTION 7.03. Trustee to Act; Appointment of
Successor.
On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or Section 7.02, the Trustee or its
appointed agent shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in
its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set
forth or provided for herein and shall be subject thereafter to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master
Servicer including the obligation to make Advances which have been or will be
required to be made (except for the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
contained in Section 2.03 and its obligations to deposit amounts in respect of
losses pursuant to Sections 3.12 and 4.01(c)) by the terms and provisions
hereof; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's failure to provide information
required by Section 4.03 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee
hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds
relating to the Mortgage Loans which the Master Servicer would have been
entitled to charge to the Custodial Account and the Certificate Account if the
Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the
Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so
act (exclusive of the obligations set forth in Section 4.03) or if the Holders
of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights so request in
writing to the Trustee, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to appoint, any mortgage loan servicing institution (acceptable to the Rating
Agencies) having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 (or other amount
acceptable to the Rating Agencies) as the successor to the Master Servicer
hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Pending appointment of a
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such
capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such
successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall
agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that
permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. The Seller, the Trustee and such
successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be
necessary to effectuate any such succession.
Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Master Servicer
shall maintain in force during its term as master servicer hereunder policies
and fidelity bonds to the same extent as the Master Servicer is so required
pursuant to Section 3.18.
SECTION 7.04. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any such termination or appointment of a successor to
the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt notice thereof to
Certificateholders.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of
Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates
notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such
Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
-86-
SECTION 7.05. Waiver of Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights of
Certificates affected by a default or Event of Default hereunder, may waive such
default or Event of Default; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (a) a default or Event of
Default under clause (i) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the
Holders of Certificates affected by such default or Event of Default and (b) no
waiver pursuant to this Section 7.05 shall affect the Holders of Certificates in
the manner set forth in the third paragraph of Section 11.01. Upon any such
waiver of a default or Event of Default by the Holders representing the
requisite percentage of Voting Rights of Certificates affected by such default
or Event of Default, such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist and
shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or
impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
-87-
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a duty.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found
not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the
Trustee shall take action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument
corrected.
The Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust Fund any tax
return that the Trustee is required to sign pursuant to applicable federal,
state or local tax laws.
The Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall perform its
obligations hereunder in a manner so as to maintain the status of the Trust Fund
as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and to prevent the imposition of any
federal, state or local income, prohibited transaction, contribution or other
tax on the Trust Fund to the extent that maintaining such status and avoiding
such taxes are reasonably within the control of the Trustee and are reasonably
within the scope of its duties under this Agreement.
The Trustee shall cooperate to the extent practicable, with
the Depositor in the preparation of any information, for the Holder of any
Certificate, which the Depositor in its sole discretion deems necessary and
appropriate for purposes of satisfying applicable information reporting
requirements under Rule 144A or otherwise.
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 willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and
after the curing of all such Events of Default which may have
occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement,
the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of
such
-88-
duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of
bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an
error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer
or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be
proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts; and
(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with
respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken
by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting
Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee,
under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the
Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(a) The Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or
any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other
paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties;
(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any
Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or
omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance
therewith;
(c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this
Agreement or to make any investigation of matters arising
hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation
hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or
direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders
shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which
may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein
shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been
-89-
cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;
(d) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and
believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder and after the curing of all Events of Default which
may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or
other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so
by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the
Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within a
reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or
liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to
it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a
condition to taking any such action. The reasonable expense of
every such reasonable examination shall be paid by the Master
Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the
Master Servicer upon demand; and
(f) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or
by or through agents or attorneys.
SECTION 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates
or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates, other
than the signature of the Trustee on the Certificates and the certificate of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or the Master
Servicer, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for
their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the
validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any
Mortgage Loan or related document, other than the signature of the Trustee on
the Certificates and the Certificate of Authentication. The Trustee shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or the Master Servicer
of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the
use or application of any funds paid to the Seller in respect of the Mortgage
Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Custodial Account, the Excess
Proceeds Account or the Certificate Account or any other account by or on behalf
of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, other than any funds held by or on
behalf of the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.10.
-90-
SECTION 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it
were not Trustee.
SECTION 8.05. Master Servicer to Pay Trustee's
Fees.
The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee
or any co-trustee appointed pursuant to Section 8.10 from time to time, and the
Trustee and such co-trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which
shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a
trustee or any co-trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it
in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and
performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder or of the Trustee or any
co-trustee. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Trustee or any
co-trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee or any
co-trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any
claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any Event of
Default, any breach of this Agreement, any claim or legal action, including any
pending or threatened claim or legal action relating to the acceptance or
administration of its trusts hereunder or the Certificates, other than any
claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with a breach
constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee or any
co-trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. The provisions of this
Section 8.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for
Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or a
national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of any
state or the United States of America or the District of Columbia, authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority. In addition, the Trustee shall at all times be
acceptable to the Rating Agency rating the Certificates. If such corporation
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 8.07. The corporation or national banking association serving as Trustee
may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Seller and its
affiliates or the Master Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however, that
such corporation cannot be an affiliate of the Master Servicer other than the
Trustee in its role as successor to the Master Servicer.
-91-
SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the
Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the
trusts hereby created by giving notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and to all Certificateholders; provided, that such resignation shall
not be effective until a successor trustee is appointed and accepts appointment
in accordance with the following provisions. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Master Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee who
meets the eligibility requirements of Section 8.06 by written instrument, in
duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to
the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the
Certificateholders and the Master Servicer by the Depositor. If no successor
trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60
days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee; provided, however, that the resigning Trustee shall not resign and be
discharged from the trusts hereby created until such time as the Rating Agency
rating the Certificates approves the successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee
shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or
a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or if
the rating of the long-term debt obligations of the Trustee is not acceptable to
the Rating Agency in respect of mortgage pass-through certificates having a
rating equal to the then current rating on the Certificates, then the Master
Servicer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee who meets the
eligibility requirements of Section 8.06 by written instrument, in duplicate,
which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the
successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the
Certificateholders and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee
by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so
removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such
instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Master Servicer
by the Depositor.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not
become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.
-92-
SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Master Servicer and to its
predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the 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 the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor
trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it
hereunder, and the Master Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required
for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all
such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as
provided in this Section, the Master Servicer shall mail notice of the
succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their
addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Master Servicer fails to
mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at
the expense of the Master Servicer.
SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from
any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party,
or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or
Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located,
the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by
the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and
to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust
Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section
8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and
-93-
trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If
the Depositor shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such
appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06
hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of
co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08
hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate
trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or
as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent
or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers,
duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any
portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by
such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions
of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement
relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection
to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time,
constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee
or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01. Termination Upon Repurchase or
Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created
hereby (other than the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 8.05 and of the Master Servicer to provide for and the
Trustee to make payments to Certificateholders as hereafter set forth) shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on
behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them hereunder following the
earlier to occur of (i) the repurchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property in respect thereof remaining in the Trust Fund at a
price equal to (a) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan
(other than one as to which a REO Property was acquired) on the day of
repurchase together with accrued interest on such unpaid principal balance at
the Net Mortgage Rate to the first day of the month in which the proceeds of
such repurchase are to be distributed, plus (b) the appraised value of any REO
Property (but not more than the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage
Loan, together with accrued interest on that balance at the Net Mortgage Rate to
the first day of the month of repurchase), less the good faith estimate of the
Master Servicer of liquidation expenses to be incurred in connection with its
disposal thereof, such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser mutually agreed
upon by the Master Servicer and the Trustee; and (ii) the final payment or other
liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund (or the disposition of all REO Property in respect
thereof); provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby
continue beyond 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. In the case of any
repurchase by the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (i), the Master Servicer
shall include in such repurchase price the amount of any Advances that will be
reimbursed to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(iii) and the Master
Servicer shall exercise reasonable efforts to cooperate fully with the Trustee
in effecting such repurchase and the transfer of the Mortgage Loans and related
Mortgage Files and related records to the Master Servicer.
The right of the Master Servicer to repurchase all Mortgage
Loans pursuant to (i) above shall be conditioned upon the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans at the time of any such repurchase
aggregating an amount equal to or less than 5% of the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. If such right is exercised,
the Master Servicer upon such repurchase shall provide to the Trustee, the
certification required by Section 3.16.
Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date
upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the
Trustee for payment of the final
-95-
distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer by
letter to the Trustee and the Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such
notice is given in connection with the Master Servicer's election to repurchase,
not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next
preceding the month of such final distribution or (b) otherwise during the month
of such final distribution on or before the Determination Date in such month, in
each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which final payment of the
Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the
office of the Certificate Registrar therein designated, (ii) the amount of any
such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation
and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar
therein specified. In the event such notice is given in connection with the
Master Servicer's election to repurchase, the Master Servicer shall deliver to
the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Distribution Date specified in such notice an amount
equal to the above-described repurchase price payable out of its own funds. Upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders, the
Trustee shall distribute to the Certificateholders (i) the amount otherwise
distributable on such Distribution Date, if not in connection with the Master
Servicer's election to repurchase, or (ii) if the Master Servicer elected to so
repurchase, an amount determined as follows: with respect to each Class A-1
Certificate, Class A-2 Certificate, Class B-1 Certificate and Class B-2
Certificate, the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance thereof, plus one
month's interest thereon at the applicable Pass-Through Rate and any previously
unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest; with respect to each Class SA Certificate,
one month's interest at the applicable Pass-Through Rate based upon the Notional
Amount and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest; with respect to
each Class SB Certificate, the Outstanding Class SB Unpaid Interest Amount for
such Distribution Date plus one month's interest at the applicable Pass-Through
Rate based upon the Notional Amount and any previously unpaid Accrued
Certificate Interest; and with respect to each Class R Certificate, the
Percentage Interest evidenced thereby multiplied by the difference, if any,
between the above described repurchase price and the aggregate amount to be
distributed to the Class SA Certificateholders, the Class A-1
Certificateholders, the Class A-2 Certificateholders, the Class B-1
Certificateholders, the Class B-2 Certificateholders and the Class SB
Certificateholders. Upon certification to the Trustee by a Servicing Officer,
following such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release the Mortgage
Files as directed by the Master Servicer for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and
the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments
required by the Master Servicer as being necessary to effectuate such transfer.
In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not
surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the time
specified in the above-mentioned notice, the Trustee shall give a second notice
to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
six months after the second notice all of the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take reasonable steps as
directed by the Depositor, or appoint an agent to take reasonable steps, to
contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other
assets which
-96-
remain subject hereto. If, within nine months after the second notice, all of
the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets
which remain subject hereto.
SECTION 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event the Master Servicer repurchases the Mortgage
Loans as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in
accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Master
Servicer, at its own expense, obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of
this Section 9.02 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on the net
income derived from "prohibited transactions" of the Trust Fund as defined in
Section 860F of the Code or (ii) cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a
REMIC under the REMIC Provisions at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding:
(i) The Trustee shall establish a 90-day liquidation period for
the Trust Fund and specify the first day of such period in a statement
attached to the Trust Fund's final Tax Return pursuant to Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860F-1. The Trustee shall satisfy all the
requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code
and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer;
(ii) During such 90-day liquidation period, and at or prior to
the time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the
Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund for cash; and
(iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates all
cash on hand in the Trust Fund (other than cash retained to meet
claims), and the Trust Fund shall terminate at that time.
(b) By their acceptance of the Class R Certificates, the
Holders thereof hereby agree to authorize the Trustee to specify the 90-day
liquidation period for the Trust Fund, which authorization shall be binding upon
all successor Class R Certificateholders.

REMIC PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01. REMIC Administration.
(a) The Trustee shall make an election to treat the Trust Fund
as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. Such
election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or
information return or any appropriate state return for the taxable year ending
on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. For
purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Trust Fund, the Class SA, Class
A-1, Class A-2, Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class SB Certificates shall be
designated as the "regular interests" and the Class R Certificates shall be
designated as the sole Class of "residual interest" in the REMIC. The Trustee
shall not permit the creation of any "interests" in the Trust Fund (within the
meaning of Section 860G of the Code) other than the interests represented by the
Certificates.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day"
the REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The Trustee shall pay out of its own funds, without any
right of reimbursement, any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of the
Trust Fund (including, but not limited to, any professional fees or any
administrative or judicial proceedings with respect thereto that involved the
Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities), other than the expense of
obtaining any tax related Opinion of Counsel not obtained in connection with
such an audit and other than taxes, in either case except as specified herein;
provided, however, that if such audit resulted from the negligence of the Master
Servicer or the Depositor, then the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as the
case may be, shall pay such expenses. The Trustee shall hold a Class R
Certificate representing a 0.01% Percentage Interest of all Class R Certificates
and shall be designated as the tax matters person of the Trust Fund in the
manner provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) and Temporary
Treasury Regulations Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1T. The Trustee, as tax matters
person, shall (i) act on behalf of the Trust Fund in relation to any tax matter
or controversy involving the Trust Fund and (ii) represent the Trust Fund in any
administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any
governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. To the extent authorized
under the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, each Holder of a
Class R Certificate, hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Trustee to
be its attorney-in-fact for purposes of signing any Tax Returns required to be
filed on behalf of the Trust Fund.
(d) The Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared, sign
and file all of the Tax Returns in respect of the Trust Fund created hereunder,
other than Tax Returns required to be filed by the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 4.05. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne
by the Trustee without any right of reimbursement therefor.
-98-
(e) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of the Trust Fund all
reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of the
Trust Fund under the Code, REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance issued
by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among
its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other such
compliance guidance, the Trustee shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Class
R Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax
relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Person who is not a
Disqualified Organization, (ii) to Certificateholders such information or
reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports
relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium
(using the Prepayment Assumption) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the
name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will serve as the
representative of the Trust Fund. In addition, the Depositor shall provide or
cause to be provided to the Trustee, within ten (10) days after the Closing
Date, all information or data that the Trustee reasonably determines to be
relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the
Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment
assumption and projected cash flow of the Certificates.
(f) The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause the
Trust Fund created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create
or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (and the
Master Servicer shall assist it, to the extent reasonably requested by it). The
Trustee shall not take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or
fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC
Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the
status of the Trust Fund as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax
upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such
event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee received an Opinion of
Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event
shall such Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee) to the effect that
the contemplated action will not, with respect to the Trust Fund created
hereunder, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. The
Master Servicer shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not
authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that it
has received an Opinion of Counsel (which such Opinion of Counsel shall not be
an expense of the Trustee) to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur
with respect to such action. In addition, prior to taking any action which is
not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer
will consult with the Trustee or its designee, in writing, with respect to
whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to
the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall not take any such action or cause
the Trust Fund to take any such action as to which the Trustee has advised it in
writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee may consult with
counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the
party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement (but in no
event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee). At all times as may be
required by the Code, the Trustee will ensure that substantially all of the
assets of the Trust Fund will consist of "qualified
-99-
mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted
investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited
transactions" of the Trust Fund created hereunder as defined in Section
860F(a)(2) of the Code, on "net income from foreclosure property" of the Trust
Fund as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to the
Trust Fund after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the
Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of
state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant
to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by
the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results
from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III
or this Article X, or otherwise (iii) against amounts on deposit in the
Certificate Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.
(h) On or before April 15 of each calendar year, commencing
April 15, 1996, the Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer and each Rating
Agency a Certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Trustee stating the
Trustee's compliance with this Article X.
(i) The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall, for federal
income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the Trust Fund
on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.
(j) Following the Startup Day therefor, the Trustee shall not
accept any contributions of assets to the Trust Fund unless it shall have
received an Opinion of Counsel (which such Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the
Trust Fund will not cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject the Trust Fund to any tax
under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and
local law or ordinances.
(k) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter
into any arrangement by which the Trust Fund will receive a fee or other
compensation for services nor permit the REMIC to receive any income from assets
other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or
"permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(l) Solely for purposes of satisfying Section
1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations, the "latest possible maturity
date" by which the Certificate Principal Balances of each Class of Certificates
representing a regular interest in the Trust Fund would be reduced to zero is
March 25, 2026, which is the Distribution Date immediately following the latest
scheduled maturity of any Mortgage Loan.
-100-
(m) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, The Trustee shall
prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service Form 8811, "Information
Return for Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMICs) and Issuers of
Collateralized Debt Obligations" for the Trust Fund.
SECTION 10.02. Prohibited Transactions and
Activities.
Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee
shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in
connection with (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not
limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in
lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the
termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement or (iv) a
purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or III of this Agreement, nor
acquire any assets for the Trust Fund, nor sell or dispose of any investments in
the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account for gain, nor accept any
contributions to the Trust Fund after the Closing Date unless it has received an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such sale,
disposition, substitution or acquisition but in no event shall such Opinion of
Counsel be an expense of the Trustee) that such sale, disposition, substitution
or acquisition will not (a) affect adversely the status of the Trust Fund as a
REMIC or (b) cause the Trust Fund to be subject to a tax on "prohibited
transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
SECTION 10.03. Master Servicer and Trustee
Indemnification.
(a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the
Depositor and the Master Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without
limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust
Fund, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as a result of a breach of the
Trustee's covenants set forth in this Article X.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund,
the Depositor and the Trustee for any taxes and costs (including, without
limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees) imposed on or incurred by the Trust
Fund, the Depositor or the Trustee, as a result of a breach of the Master
Servicer's covenants set forth in this Article X or in Article III with respect
to compliance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, any
penalties arising from the Trustee's execution of Tax Returns prepared by the
Master Servicer that contain errors or omissions.

provisions herein, (iii) to amend this Agreement in any respect subject to the

announcement or interpretation relating to federal income tax laws or any
proposed such action which, if made effective, would apply retroactively to the

such action (except any amendment described in (iv) above) shall not, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the Person requesting such
amendment) delivered to the Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of any Certificateholder (other than Certificateholders who shall
consent to such amendment).
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the

Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the
Person requesting such amendment) to the effect that such amendment is

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

-3-
in a segregated pool of assets created pursuant to the Agreement comprised of
conventional, adjustable-rate, fully amortizing, one- to four-family,
residential first lien mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), or interests
therein, and certain other assets as described herein. To the extent not defined
herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the
Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of
this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such
Holder is bound.
The Trustee shall distribute or cause to be distributed on the
25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on the First
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate

to the extent of distributions allocable to principal and the principal portions
of any Realized Losses allocable hereto.]
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates of the series and class specified on the face hereof. The
Certificates in the aggregate represent the entire beneficial ownership interest
in: (i) the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of payments of principal and interest due
on or before the Cut-off Date) as from time to time are subject to the Agreement
and all payments under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans, together with all
documents included in the related Mortgage File; (ii) such funds or assets as
from time to time are
-4-
deposited in the Custodial Account, the Excess Proceeds Account or the
Certificate Account; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) the Primary Hazard Insurance
Policies, if any, and all other insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage
Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Agreement; and (v) the
Depositor's interest in respect of the representations and warranties made by
the Seller in each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the Seller's Warranty
Certificate (all of the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the
"Trust Fund").
The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an
interest in, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any Sub-Servicer
and are not insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality
or by any other person or entity. The Certificates are limited in right of
payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all
as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account may
be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes other than
distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement to
the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by it, by
the Depositor, by the Trustee or by any Sub-Servicer.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights
of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights. 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 therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
initial [Notional Amount] [Certificate Principal Balance] will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
[No transfer of any Class A-2 Certificate shall be made to any
employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement, including individual
retirement accounts and ▇▇▇▇▇ plans, that is subject to the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"; any of foregoing, a "Plan"),
to any Person acting on behalf of a Plan, or to any other person who is using
"plan assets" to effect such acquisition (including any insurance company using
funds in its general or separate accounts that may constitute "plan assets"),
unless the prospective transferee of a Certificateholder desiring to transfer
its Certificates provides to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar an Opinion
of Counsel (or, in the limited circumstances described in
-5-
the Agreement, a certification of facts) which establishes to the satisfaction
of the Depositor and the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such
disposition will not violate the prohibited transaction provisions of Section
406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
In the case of any transfer of the foregoing Certificates to an insurance
company, in lieu of such Opinion of Counsel, the Trustee shall require a
certification in the form of Exhibit G-5 to the Agreement.]
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only,
without coupons, and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in
the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate initial [Notional Amount]
[Certificate Principal Balance], as requested by the Holder surrendering the
same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and any
agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
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 purchase by the
Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property in respect thereof,
or (ii) the final payment on, or other liquidation (or any advance with respect
thereto) of, the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund (or the
disposition of all REO Property in respect thereof). The Agreement permits, but
does not require, the Master Servicer to purchase from the Trust Fund all
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of the Master
Servicer's right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than or equal to 5% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements
of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee in its capacity as trustee
under the Agreement has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

and all payments under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans, together with all
documents included in the related Mortgage File; (ii) such funds or assets as

to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Agreement; and
(v) the Depositor's interest in respect of the representations and warranties

interest in, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any Sub-Servicer
and are not insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality
or by any other person or entity. The Certificates are limited in right of
payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all
as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account may
be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes other than
distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement to
the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by it, by
the Depositor, by the Trustee or by any Sub-Servicer.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights
of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights. 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
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an
assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
initial Certificate Principal Balance will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.
No transfer of any Class [B-1][B-2] Certificate shall be made
to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement, including
individual retirement accounts and ▇▇▇▇▇ plans, that is subject to the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"; any of foregoing, a
"Plan"), to any Person acting on behalf of a Plan, or to any other person who is
using "plan assets" to effect such acquisition (including any insurance company
using funds in its general or separate accounts that may constitute "plan
assets"), unless the prospective transferee of a Certificateholder desiring to
transfer its Certificates provides to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar
an Opinion of Counsel (or, in the limited circumstances described in the
Agreement, a certification of facts) which establishes to the satisfaction of
the Depositor and the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such disposition
will not violate the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA
and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In the case
of any transfer of the foregoing Certificates to an insurance company, in lieu
of such Opinion of Counsel, the Trustee shall require a certification in the
form of Exhibit G-5 to the Agreement.
-4-
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only,
without coupons, and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in
the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate
Principal Balance, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and any
agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
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 purchase by the
Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property in respect thereof,
or (ii) the final payment on, or other liquidation (or any advance with respect
thereto) of, the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund (or the
disposition of all REO Property in respect thereof). The Agreement permits, but
does not require, the Master Servicer to purchase from the Trust Fund all
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of the Master
Servicer's right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than or equal to 5% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements
of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee in its capacity as trustee
under the Agreement has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates of the series and class specified on the face hereof. The
Certificates in the aggregate represent the entire beneficial ownership interest
in: (i) the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of payments of principal and interest due
on or before the Cut-off Date) as from time to time are subject to the Agreement
and all payments under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans, together with all
documents included in the related Mortgage File; (ii) such funds or assets as
from time to time are deposited in the Custodial Account, the Excess Proceeds
Account or the Certificate Account; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) the Primary
Hazard Insurance Policies, if any, and all other insurance policies with respect
to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Agreement; and
(v) the Depositor's interest in respect of the representations and warranties
made
-5-
by the Seller in each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the Seller's Warranty
Certificate (all of the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the
"Trust Fund").
The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an
interest in, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any Sub-Servicer
and are not insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality
or by any other person or entity. The Certificates are limited in right of
payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all
as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account may
be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes other than
distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement to
the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by it, by
the Depositor, by the Trustee or by any Sub-Servicer.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights
of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights. 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
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an
assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No transfer of any Class R Certificate shall be made unless
that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and effective registration
or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a
transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. In the
event that a transfer is to be made without such registration or qualification,
(a) the Trustee and the Depositor shall require the transferee to execute an
investment letter in substantially the form attached as either Exhibit G-1 or
Exhibit H to the Agreement, as applicable, which investment letter shall not be
an expense of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee and (b) in the
event that such a transfer is not being made pursuant to Rule 144A under the
1933 Act, the Depositor may direct the Trustee to require an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee that such transfer may be made
without such registration or qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not
be an expense of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Master Servicer.
-6-
Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify any of
the Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any such Certificateholder
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer against any liability that may
result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such
federal and state laws.
No transfer of any Class R this Certificate shall be made to
any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement, including individual
retirement accounts and ▇▇▇▇▇ plans, that is subject to the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"; any of foregoing, a "Plan"),
to any Person acting on behalf of a Plan, or to any other person who is using
"plan assets" to effect such acquisition (including any insurance company using
funds in its general or separate accounts that may constitute "plan assets"),
unless the prospective transferee of a Certificateholder desiring to transfer
its Certificates provides to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar an Opinion
of Counsel (or, in the limited circumstances described in the Agreement, a
certification of facts) which establishes to the satisfaction of the Depositor
and the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such disposition will not
violate the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA and
Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In the case of
any transfer of the foregoing Certificates to an insurance company, in lieu of
such Opinion of Counsel, the Trustee shall require a certification in the form
of Exhibit G-5 to the Agreement.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only,
without coupons, and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in
the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, 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 Master Servicer and the Trustee and any
agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
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 purchase by the
Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property in respect thereof,
or (ii) the final payment on, or other liquidation (or any advance with respect
thereto) of, the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund (or the
disposition of all REO Property in respect thereof). The Agreement permits, but
does not require, the Master Servicer to purchase from the Trust Fund all
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any
-7-
Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise
of the Master Servicer's right will effect early retirement of the Certificates;
however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than or equal
to 5% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the
Cut-off Date.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements
of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee in its capacity as trustee
under the Agreement has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

Attention: DLJ/Quality Series 1996-Q2
Re: DLJ Mortgage Acceptance Corp.
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
Series 1996-Q2, Class __
Dear Sirs:
___________________ (the "Purchaser") intends to purchase from
_____________ (the "Seller") $______ Initial Certificate Principal Balance of
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1996-Q2, Class __ (the
"Certificates"), issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the
"Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), dated as of February 1, 1996 among DLJ
Mortgage Acceptance Corp., as seller (the "Company"), Temple-Inland Mortgage
Corporation, as master servicer, and Bankers Trust Company, as trustee (the
"Trustee"). All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Purchaser hereby
certifies, represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company and the
Trustee that:
1. The Purchaser understands that (a) the
Certificates have not been and will not be registered or
qualified under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act") or any state securities law, (b) the Company is not
required to so register or qualify the Certificates, (c) the
Certificates may be resold only if registered and qualified
pursuant to the provisions of the Act or any state securities
law, or if an exemption from such registration and
qualification is available, (d) the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement contains restrictions regarding the transfer of the
Certificates and (e) the Certificates will bear a legend to
the foregoing effect.
2. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates for
its own account for investment only and not with a view to or
for sale in connection with any distribution thereof in any
manner that would violate the Act or any applicable state
securities laws.
-2-
3. The Purchaser is (a) a substantial, sophisticated
institutional investor having such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters, and, in particular, in such
matters related to securities similar to the Certificates,
such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
investment in the Certificates, (b) able to bear the economic
risks of such an investment and (c) an "accredited investor"
within the meaning of Rule 501(a) promulgated pursuant to the
Act.
4. The Purchaser has been furnished with, and has had
an opportunity to review (a) a copy of the Private Placement
Memorandum dated March 5, 1996 relating to the Certificates,
(b) a copy of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (c) such
other information concerning the Certificates, the Mortgage
Loans and the Company as has been requested by the Purchaser
from the Company or the Seller and is relevant to the
Purchaser's decision to purchase the Certificates. The
Purchaser has had any questions arising from such review
answered by the Company or the Seller to the satisfaction of
the Purchaser. If the Purchaser did not purchase the
Certificates from the Seller in connection with the initial
distribution of the Certificates and was provided with a copy
of the Private Placement Memorandum (the "Memorandum")
relating to the original sale (the "Original Sale") of the
Certificates by the Company, the Purchaser acknowledges that
such Memorandum was provided to it by the Seller, that the
Memorandum was prepared by the Company solely for use in
connection with the Original Sale and the Company did not
participate in or facilitate in any way the purchase of the
Certificates by the Purchaser from the Seller, and the
Purchaser agrees that it will look solely to the Seller and
not to the Company with respect to any damage, liability,
claim or expense arising out of, resulting from or in
connection with (a) error or omission, or alleged error or
omission, contained in the Memorandum, or (b) any information,
development or event arising after the date of the Memorandum.
5. The Purchaser has not and will not, nor has it
authorized or will it authorize, any person to (a) offer,
pledge, sell, dispose of or otherwise transfer any
Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any other
similar security to any person in any manner, (b) solicit any
offer to buy or to accept a pledge, disposition or other
transfer of any Certificate, any interest in any Certificate
or any other similar security from any person in any manner,
(c) otherwise approach or negotiate with respect to any
Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any other
similar security with any person in any manner, (d) make any
general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any
other manner or (e) take any other action, that (as to any of
(a) through (e) above) would constitute a distribution of any
Certificate under the Act, that would render the disposition
of any Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Act or any
state securities law, or that would require registration or
qualification pursuant thereto. The Purchaser will not sell or
otherwise transfer any of the Certificates, except in
compliance with the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
-3-
[6. *The Purchaser is not any employee benefit plan
subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, (the "Code"), nor a Person acting, directly or
indirectly, on behalf of any such plan, and understands that
registration of transfer of any Certificate to any such
employee benefit plan, or to any person acting on behalf of
such plan, will not be made unless such employee benefit plan
delivers an opinion of its counsel, addressed and satisfactory
to the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer, to the
effect that the purchase and holding of a Certificate by or on
behalf of such employee benefit plan would not result in the
assets of the Trust Estate being deemed to be "plan assets"
and subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of
ERISA or the prohibited transaction provisions of the Code (or
comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), would not
constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Section
406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and would not
subject the Company, the Master Servicer or the Trustee to any
obligation or liability (including liabilities under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other liability.
The Purchaser understands that under current law such an
opinion cannot be rendered.]

Non-United States Person. For this purpose, a "disqualified organization" means
any of the following: (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision
thereof, any possession of the United States, or any agency or instrumentality
of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality which is a corporation if

of the Code on unrelated business taxable income), (iv) rural electric and
telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code and (v)
any other Person so designated based upon an Opinion of Counsel that the holding
of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate by such Person may cause the

Certificates, other than such Person, to incur a liability for any federal tax
imposed under the Code that would not otherwise be imposed but for the Transfer
of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such Person. The terms
"United States", "State" and "international organization" shall have the
meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions.
3. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be
imposed on transfers of the Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations
under the Code that applies to all

person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a disqualified organization
Transferee, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax
shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such
person an affidavit that the transferee is not a disqualified organization and,
at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the
affidavit is false and; (iv) that the Class R Certificates may be "noneconomic
residual interests" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.860E-1(c)(2) and that the transferor of a "noneconomic residual interest" will
remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual
interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer is to enable the
transferor to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

"pass-through entity" holding the Class R Certificates if at any time during the
taxable year of the pass-through entity a non-Permitted Transferee is the record
holder of an interest in such entity. For this purpose, a "pass through entity"
includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or
common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.
5. That the Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register
the transfer of any Class R Certificates unless the transferee, or the
transferee's agent, delivers to the Trustee, among other things, an affidavit in
substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Owner expressly agrees that
it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any of the
representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are false.
6. That the Owner consents to any additional restrictions or
arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be
owned, directly or indirectly, by Owners that are Permitted Transferees.
7. That the Owner's taxpayer identification number is
__________.
8. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on
the face of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued
(and, in particular, the Owner is aware that such Section authorizes the Trustee
to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory
sale by the Trustee in the event that the Owner holds such Certificate in
violation of Section 5.02); and that the Owner expressly agrees to be bound by
and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.
9. That the Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the
Class R Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

holds the Class R Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by
the holder of such Class R Certificates.

11. That the Owner has no present knowledge that it may become
insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the
Class R Certificates.
12. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation
that it will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any
of the Certificates remain outstanding. In this regard, the Owner hereby
represents to and for the benefit of the Person from whom it acquired the Class
R Certificates that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding the
Class R Certificates as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur
tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R
Certificates.
13. That the Owner is not acquiring the Class R Certificates
with the intent to transfer the Class R Certificates to any person or entity
that will not have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such
Class R Certificates, or that may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy
proceeding, for so long as the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.
14. That Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it
makes of the Class R Certificates, obtain from its transferee the
representations required by Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued and will not
consummate any such transfer if it knows, or knows facts that should lead it to
believe, that any such representations are false.
15. That Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it
makes of the Class R Certificates, deliver to the Trustee an affidavit, which
represents and warrants that it is not transferring the Class R Certificates to
impede the assessment or collection of any tax and that it has no actual
knowledge that the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient assets to pay any
taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the Class R Certificates; (ii) may
become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, for so long as the Class
R Certificates remain outstanding and; (iii) is not a "Permitted Transferee".
16. That the Owner is a citizen or resident of the United
States, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or
under the laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an
estate or trust whose income from sources without the United States is
includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes
regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the

Mortgage Loan has an original term to maturity from the date on which the first
monthly payment is due of not less than approximately 15 years and not more than
approximately 30 years. On each adjustment date, the Mortgage Rate will be
adjusted to equal the Index plus the Gross Margin, rounded to the nearest

Property;
(xvi) No improvement considered in determining the related
appraised value located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in
violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation. All inspections, licenses

state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (2)(a)
-4-
organized under the laws of such state, (b) qualified to do business in such
state, (c) federal savings associations or national banks having principal
offices in such state or (d) not doing business in such state;
(xviii) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are
genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker

adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of
the security, including (1) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of
trust, by trustee's sale, and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no
homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor that would interfere
with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right
to foreclose the Mortgage;
(xxi) With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of
trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been
properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage, and
no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the holder of the Mortgage
Loan to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a
trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;

occupancy;
(xxiii) There exist no deficiencies with respect to escrow
deposits and payments, if such are required, for which customary arrangements
for repayment thereof have not been made, and no escrow deposits or payments of
other charges or payments due with respect to the Mortgage Loan (other than
origination points and fees) have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the
related Mortgage Note;
(xxiv) The origination practices used by the Seller with
respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent
and customary in the mortgage origination business;

-5-
(xxvi) No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature or
other contingent interest feature;
(xxvii) No Mortgage Loan is subject to any temporary buydown
provisions;
(xxviii) Pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage, all
buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a
generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage
and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property
is located pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of
Section 3.13 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If upon origination of the
Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance
policy is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement;
(xxix) An appraisal of each Mortgaged Property is on a form

FHLMC, as the case may be, and each appraiser meets the minimum qualifications

Mortgaged Property that is subordinate to the lien of the related Mortgage Loan;
(xxxi) Each Mortgage Loan contains a customary "due-on-sale"
clause;
(xxxii) Except for the criteria for eligible Mortgagors set
forth in the Seller's underwriting guidelines, the Seller knows of nothing
involving any Mortgage File, Mortgaged Property or Mortgagor's credit standing
that could reasonably be expected (1) to cause private institutional investors
to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, (2) to cause the
Mortgage Loan to become delinquent or (3) to affect adversely the value or
marketability of the Mortgage Loan;
(xxxiii) There are no condemnation proceedings pending with
respect to any Mortgaged Property, and no Mortgaged Property had been condemned
either in whole or in part;
(xxxiv) The Mortgage Loans were not selected for inclusion
under the Purchase Agreements from the Seller's portfolio of mortgage loans
originated under its "regular lending program" on any basis which would have a
material adverse effect on the holders of the Certificates;
(xxxv) All of the Mortgage Loans were originated or acquired
under the Seller's "regular lending program";
(xxxvi) With respect to the single Mortgage Loan in which the
Mortgagor has a leasehold interest in the related Mortgaged Property:
-6-
(a) The leasehold was created by direct lease of
the freehold estate, and the ground lease or memorandum thereof has been
recorded and by its terms permits the leasehold estate to be mortgaged. The
ground lease grants any leasehold mortgagee standard protection necessary to
protect the security of a leasehold mortgagee, including the right of a
leasehold mortgagee to receive notice of the lessee's default under the ground
lease; the right of the leasehold mortgagee, with adequate time, to cure such
default; and, in the case of incurable defaults of the lessee, the right of the
leasehold mortgagee to enter into a new ground lease with the lessor on terms
financially identical and otherwise substantially identical to the existing
ground lease;
(b) The ground lease was at the origination of
such Mortgage Loan, and is, in full force and effect without any outstanding
defaults, and was and is not subject to liens and encumbrances;
(c) The ground lease shall be automatically
renewable for at least thirty (30) years or at least ten (10) years beyond the
scheduled date for the final payment on the Mortgage Loan; and
(d) The fee estate of the lessor under the ground
lease is encumbered by the ground lease, and any lien of any present or future
fee mortgagee is and will be subject to and subordinate to the ground lease. The
foreclosure of the fee mortgage will not terminate the leasehold estate or the
rights of the sub-tenants, and the fee mortgage is subject to the ground lease;
and
(xxxvii) The collection practices used by the Seller with
respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage serviced by the Seller have been in
all material respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage
origination and servicing industry; and the Mortgage Loans have been serviced by
the Seller in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents, any
applicable mortgage insurance contract requirements and applicable law in all
material respects.
