PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
The Company intends to sell mortgage pass-through certificates
(collectively, the "Certificates"), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes
(each, a "Class"), which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial
ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans (as defined herein). As provided
herein, the Master Servicer will make an election to treat the segregated pool
of assets described in the definition of Trust Fund (as defined herein), and
subject to this Agreement (including the Mortgage Loans but excluding the
Initial Monthly Payment Deposit), as a real estate mortgage investment conduit
(a "REMIC") for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets
will be designated as the "Trust Fund." The Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3,
Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-6, Class A-7 and Class B Certificates will
represent ownership of "regular interests" in the Trust Fund, and the Class R
Certificates will be the sole class of "residual interests" therein, for
purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein) under federal income tax
law.
The following table sets forth the designation, type,
Pass-Through Rate, aggregate Initial Certificate Principal Balance, initial
ratings and certain features for each Class of Certificates comprising the
interests in the Trust Fund created hereunder.

A-7 Certificates, one month's interest accrued at the then applicable
Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Amount thereof immediately prior to such
Distribution Date. Accrued Certificate Interest will be calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In each case Accrued
Certificate Interest on any Class of Certificates will be reduced by the amount
of (i) Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, if any, which are not covered by payments
by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.23 with respect to such

proportion to their respective amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest which
would have resulted absent such reductions. In addition to that portion of the

CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
The Company, as of the Closing Date, and concurrently with the
execution and delivery hereof, does hereby assign, transfer, sell, set over and
otherwise convey to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and
interest of the Company in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule and all other assets included or to be included in the Trust Fund
for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Such assignment includes all
principal and interest received by the Master Servicer on or with respect to the
Mortgage Loans (other than payment of principal and interest due on or before
the Cut-off Date).
In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Company
has requested the Seller to deliver to, and deposit with the Trustee, the
following documents or instruments:
(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed by the Seller "Pay to
the order of [Name of Trustee], as trustee without recourse" or to "Pay
to the order of [Name of Trustee], as trustee for holders of Quick Loan
Funding Mortgage Acceptance Corporation, Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 200_-_, without recourse" with all intervening
endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsements from the
originator to the Person endorsing it to the Trustee;
(ii) the original recorded Mortgage or, if the original
Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable public recording
office, a copy of the Mortgage certified by the Seller to be a true and
complete copy of the original Mortgage submitted to the title insurance
company for recording;
(iii) a duly executed original Assignment of the Mortgage
endorsed by the Seller, without recourse, to "[Name of Trustee], as
trustee" or to "[Name of Trustee], as trustee for holders of Quick Loan
Funding Mortgage Acceptance Corporation, Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 200_-_", with evidence of recording thereon;
(iv) the original recorded Assignment or Assignments of the
Mortgage showing a complete chain of assignment from the originator
thereof to the Person assigning it to the Trustee or, if any such
Assignment has not been returned from the applicable public recording
office, a copy of such Assignment certified by the Seller to be a true
and complete copy of the original Assignment submitted to the title
insurance company for recording;
(v) the original lender's title insurance policy, or, if such
policy has not been issued, any one of an original or a copy of the
preliminary title report, title binder or title commitment on the
Mortgaged Property with the original policy of the insurance to be
delivered promptly following the receipt thereof;
(vi) the original of any assumption, modification, extension
or guaranty agreement;
(vii) the original or a copy of the private mortgage insurance
policy or original certificate of private mortgage insurance, if
applicable; and
(viii) if any of the documents or instruments referred to
above were executed on behalf of the Mortgagor by another Person, the
original power of attorney or other instrument that authorized and
empowered such Person to sign, or a copy thereof certified by the
Seller (or by an officer of the applicable title insurance or escrow
company) to be a true and correct copy of the original.
The Seller is obligated pursuant to the Seller's Warranty
Certificate to deliver to the Trustee: (a) either the original recorded
Mortgage, or in the event such original cannot be delivered by the Seller, a
copy of such Mortgage certified as true and complete by the appropriate
recording office, in those instances where a copy thereof certified by the
Seller was delivered to the Trustee pursuant to clause (ii) above; and (b)
either the original Assignment or Assignments of the Mortgage, with evidence of
recording thereon, showing a complete chain of assignment from the originator to
the Seller, or in the event such original cannot be delivered by the Seller, a
copy of such Assignment or Assignments certified as true and complete by the
appropriate recording office, in those instances where copies thereof certified
by the Seller were delivered to the Trustee pursuant to clause (iv) above.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01, in
those instances where the public recording office retains the original Mortgage
after it has been recorded, the Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied its
obligations hereunder upon delivery to the Trustee of a copy of such Mortgage
certified by the public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
recorded original thereof.
If any Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded to the
Trustee because of any defect therein, the 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, as described in the Seller's Warranty
Certificate, to deliver to the Trustee the original of any documents assigned to
the Trustee pursuant to this Section 2.01 not later than 120 days after the
Closing Date.
All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans which
are not delivered to the Trustee, to the extent delivered by the 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 Company, 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 Company to the Trustee as provided in this Section be, and be construed as,
a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Company 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 Company to the Trustee to secure a
debt or other obligation of the Company. However, in the event that the Mortgage
Loans are held to be property of the Company, 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 Company to the Trustee of a security interest in all of
the Company's right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and
interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the Mortgage
Loans, including the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related insurance
policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage Files, (B) all amounts
payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms
thereof and (C) all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the
foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including
without limitation all amounts from time to time held or invested in the
Certificate Account or the Custodial Account, whether in the form of cash,
instruments, securities or other property and (2) an assignment by the Company
to the Trustee of any security interest in any and all of the Seller's right
(including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the property described in the foregoing
clauses (1)(A) through (C) granted by [Name of Seller] to the Company 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 9-115,
9-305, 8-102, 8-301, 8-501 and 8-503 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 Company and the Trustee shall,
to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be
necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security
interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be
maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement.
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of the Trust Fund by the Trustee.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt (subject to any exceptions
noted in the Initial Certification described below) of the documents referred to
in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the Trust Fund and
declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents
delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will hold
such other assets included in the Trust Fund (to the extent delivered or
assigned to the Trustee), in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
to review each Mortgage File on or before the Closing Date to ascertain that all
documents required to be delivered to it are in its possession, and the Trustee
agrees to execute and deliver to the Company and the Master Servicer on the
Closing Date an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C to
the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
(other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically
identified in such certification as not covered by such certification), (i) all
documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement with respect
to such Mortgage Loan are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been
reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan
and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the
information set forth in items (i) - (vi) and (xiii) of the definition of the
"Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately reflects information set forth in the
Mortgage File. Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall be under any
duty to determine whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents
specified in clause (vi) of Section 2.01. Neither the Trustee nor the Master
Servicer shall be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine
said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the
same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that
they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport
to be on their face.
Within 90 days of the Closing Date the Trustee shall deliver
to the Company and the Master Servicer a Final Certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit D evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and
preparing the certifications referred to above the Trustee finds any document or
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in
any material respect, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller, the Master
Servicer and the Company. 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 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 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 Company.
(a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to and
covenants with the Company and the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders

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
Company, the Trustee and the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by the Company,

the interests of the Company or the Trustee, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
(b) The Company 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) Immediately prior to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans
to the Trustee, the Company 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

Mortgage Loans to the Trustee free and clear of any pledge, lien,
encumbrance or security interest;

Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80% is the subject of a
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that insures that portion of the
principal balance thereof that exceeds the amount equal to 75% of the
appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property. Each such Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy is in full force and effect and the Trustee
is entitled to the benefits thereunder; and
(vi) The representations and warranties of the Seller with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and the remedies therefor are as set

[Other representations and warranties as applicable.]
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.
Upon discovery by either the Company, 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;
Repurchase and Substitution.
The Company hereby assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of
Certificateholders its interest in respect of the representations and warranties
made by the Seller in the Seller's Warranty Certificate or the exhibits thereto.
Insofar as the Seller's Warranty Certificate relates to such representations and
warranties and any remedies provided thereunder for any breach of such
representations and warranties, such right, title and interest may be enforced
by the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. Upon the discovery by the
Company, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made in the Seller's Warranty Certificate in
respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering
such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties. The Trustee
shall promptly notify the Seller of such breach and request that such Seller
shall, within 90 days from the date that the Company, the Seller or the Trustee
was notified of such breach, either (i) cure such breach in all material
respects or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase
Price and in the manner set forth in Section 2.02; provided that in the case of
such breach, the Seller shall have the option to substitute a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for such Mortgage Loan if such substitution
occurs within two years following the Closing Date. Any such substitution must
occur within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of the breach if such
90 day period expires before two years following the Closing Date. In the event
that the Seller elects to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Seller
shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the original
Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, an Assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form,
and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01, with
the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.01. No substitution will be
made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Monthly
Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of
substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the
Master Servicer and remitted by the Master Servicer to the Seller on the next
succeeding Distribution Date.
For the month of substitution, distributions to
Certificateholders will include the Monthly Payment due on a Deleted Mortgage
Loan for such month and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to retain all
amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Company shall
amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the
Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the
substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Company
shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule, to the Trustee. Upon such
substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject
to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, the Seller shall be deemed to
have made the representations and warranties with respect to the Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan contained in the Seller's Warranty Certificate as of
the date of substitution, and the Company shall be deemed to have made with
respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.03
hereof, and the Seller shall be obligated to repurchase or substitute for any
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan as to which a repurchase or substitution
obligation has occurred pursuant to Section 3 of the Seller's Warranty
Certificate.
In connection with the substitution of one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal
balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of
substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such
Deleted Mortgage Loans (in each case after application of the principal portion
of the Monthly Payments due in the month of substitution that are to be
distributed to Certificateholders in the month of substitution). The Seller
shall provide the Master Servicer on the day of substitution for immediate
deposit in to the Custodial Account the amount of such shortfall, without any
reimbursement therefor. The Seller shall give notice in writing to the Trustee
of such event, which notice shall be accompanied by an Officers' Certificate as
to the calculation of such shortfall and by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the
Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited
transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after
the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code or (b) any portion of the
Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is
outstanding. The costs of any substitution as described above, including any
related assignments, opinions or other documentation in connection therewith
shall be borne by the Seller.
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 to so purchase or substitute for
any Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. In addition,
if the first scheduled Monthly Payment is due during the first month after its
closing date (as such term is used in the Seller's Warranties Certificate) and
such Monthly Payment is not received by the Master Servicer within 30 days of
the due date in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note, the
Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Seller and the Trustee and the Seller
shall purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price or
substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan therefor within 15 days from the
date that the Seller was notified.
SECTION 2.05. Issuance of Certificates Evidencing Interests in
the Trust Fund.
The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage
Loans and the delivery of the Mortgage Files to it together with the assignment
to it of all other assets included in the Trust Fund, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged. Concurrently with such delivery and in exchange therefor, the
Trustee, pursuant to the written request of the Company executed by an officer
of the Company, has executed and caused to be authenticated, and delivered to or
upon the order of the Company, the Certificates in authorized denominations
which evidence ownership of the entire Trust Fund.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE TRUST FUND
SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage
Loans for the benefit of the Certificateholders, in accordance with this
Agreement and the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent
institutional mortgage lenders servicing comparable mortgage loans for their own
account in the respective states in which the Mortgaged Properties are located.
Subject to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall have full power and
authority, acting alone and/or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section
3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such
servicing and administration that it may deem necessary or desirable. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or
in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee
when the Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment, to (i)
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any
of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties, (ii) institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the
ownership of such properties, and (iii) hold or cause to be held title to such
properties, on behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Master Servicer
shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable
state and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required
to be provided to them thereby. Subject to Section 3.16, the Trustee shall
furnish to the Master Servicer and any Sub-Servicer any powers of attorney and
other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer and any
Sub- Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for any action taken by the Master Servicer
or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to the application of such powers of attorney. In
accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer
shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of
effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties,
which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related
collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as
provided in Section 3.11. No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or by Sub-
Servicers in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties shall, for the purpose of calculating distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage
Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
The Master Servicer shall not (unless the Mortgagor is in
default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of
the Master Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) make or permit any modification,
waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (i) effect
an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code
(or final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder)
and (ii) cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or
the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after
the startup date under the REMIC Provisions.
The Master Servicer may approve a request for a partial
release of the Mortgaged Property, easement, consent to alteration or demolition
and other similar matters if it has determined, exercising its good faith
business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the
related Mortgage Loan, that such approval will not adversely affect the security
for, or the timely and full collectability of, the related Mortgage Loan. Any
fee collected by the Master Servicer for processing such request will be
retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
The relationship of the Master Servicer (and of any successor
to the Master Servicer under this Agreement) to the Trustee under this Agreement
is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that
of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
SECTION 3.02. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Master Servicer
and Sub-Servicers.
(a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing
Agreements with Sub- Servicers for the servicing and administration of the
Mortgage Loans and for the performance of any and all other activities of the
Master Servicer hereunder. Each Sub-Servicer shall be either (i) an institution
the accounts of which are insured by the FDIC or (ii) another entity that
engages in the business of originating or servicing mortgage loans, and in
either case shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in
which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to
the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform its
obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and in either case
shall be a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each
Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming
to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the
Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. With the consent of
the Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Master
Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements and make
amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of
Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or
different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this
Agreement.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master
Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall
enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in
respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement, or to
purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of defective documentation or on account of
a breach of a representation or warranty, as described in Section 2.02. Such
enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims,
termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate
remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such
time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require
were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay
the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, but shall be reimbursed
therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only
to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of
the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses
or attorneys' fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.
SECTION 3.03. Successor Sub-Servicers.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any
Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer
pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and
conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any
Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed
simultaneously by the Master Servicer without any act or deed on the part of
such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer either shall
service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing
Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.
SECTION 3.04. Liability of the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the
Master Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a
Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and
primarily liable to the Trustee and Certificateholders for the servicing and
administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section
3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such
Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from
the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions
as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage
Loans. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to
have received payments on Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer has received such
payments. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with
a Sub-Servicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Sub-Servicer
and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
SECTION 3.05. No Contractual Relationship Between
Sub-Servicers and Trustee or Certificateholders.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer
in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between
the Sub-Servicer and the Master Servicer alone, and the Trustee and
Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer
except as set forth in Section 3.06.
SECTION 3.06. Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing
Agreements by Trustee.
In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no
longer be the master servicer (including by reason of an Event of Default), the
Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations
of the Master Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Master
Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee is then permitted and elects
to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms. The
Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee shall be deemed
to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein and to have
replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the
same extent as if the Sub-Servicing Agreements had been assigned to the assuming
party, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any
liability or obligations under the Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the Master
Servicer shall continue to be entitled to any rights or benefits which arose
prior to its termination as master servicer.
The Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the
Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to
each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an
accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing
Agreements to the assuming party.
SECTION 3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect
all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans,
and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement
and the terms and provisions of any related Insurance Policy, follow such
collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. The Master
Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect
to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Primary
Hazard Insurance Policy, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or otherwise or
against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or
condemnation) if it reasonably believes that it is prohibited by applicable law
from enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to
which such payment is required. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master
Servicer may in its discretion waive any prepayment fees, late payment charge or
other charge, except as otherwise required under applicable law. The Master
Servicer shall be responsible for preparing and distributing all information
statements relating to payments on the Mortgage Loans, in accordance with all
applicable federal and state tax laws and regulations.
SECTION 3.08. Sub-Servicing Accounts.
In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to
establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing
Account"). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall
otherwise be acceptable to the Master Servicer. All amounts held in a
Sub-Servicing Account shall be held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholders. The Sub-Servicer will be required to deposit into the
Sub-Servicing Account no later than the first Business Day after receipt all
proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer, less its servicing
compensation and any unreimbursed expenses and advances, to the extent permitted
by the Sub-Servicing Agreement. On each Sub-Servicer Remittance Date the
Sub-Servicer will be required to remit to the Master Servicer for deposit into
the Custodial Account all funds held in the Sub-Servicing Account with respect
to any Mortgage Loan as of the Sub-Servicer Remittance Date, after deducting
from such remittance an amount equal to the servicing compensation and
unreimbursed expenses and advances to which it is then entitled pursuant to the
related Sub- Servicing Agreement, to the extent not previously paid to or
retained by it. In addition, on each Sub-Servicer Remittance Date the
Sub-Servicer will be required to remit to the Master Servicer any amounts
required to be advanced pursuant to the related Sub-Servicing Agreement. The
Sub-Servicer will also be required to remit to the Master Servicer, within one
Business Day of receipt, the proceeds of any Principal Prepayment made by the
Mortgagor and any Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds.
SECTION 3.09. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar
Items; Servicing Accounts.
The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers shall establish and
maintain one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"), and shall deposit and
retain therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from
Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, Primary Hazard Insurance
Policy premiums, and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors, to the
extent that the Master Servicer customarily escrows for such amounts.
Withdrawals of amounts so collected from a Servicing Account may be made only to
(i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, Primary Hazard Insurance Policy
premiums and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Master Servicer (or a
Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out
of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.01 (with
respect to taxes and assessments) and 3.13 (with respect to Primary Hazard
Insurance Policies); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to
be overages; or (iv) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01. As part of its servicing
duties, the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall, if and to the extent
required by law, pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts
from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.
SECTION 3.10. Custodial Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or
more accounts (collectively, the "Custodial Account") in which the Master
Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited no later than the first Business
Day after receipt or as and when received from the Sub-Servicers, the following
payments and collections received or made by or on behalf of it subsequent to
the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a
period subsequent thereto (other than in respect of principal and interest on
the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date):
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage
Loans, not including any portion thereof representing interest on
account of the related Servicing Fee Rate;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds, other than proceeds that
represent reimbursement of costs and expenses incurred by the Master
Servicer in connection with presenting claims under the related
Insurance Policies, Liquidation Proceeds and REO Proceeds; (iv) all
proceeds of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property repurchased or purchased
in accordance with Sections 2.02, 2.04 or 9.01 and all amounts required
to be deposited in connection with the substitution of a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.04;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited in the Custodial
Account pursuant to Section 3.12, 3.13 or 3.22; and
(vi) all amounts transferred from the Certificate Account to
the Custodial Account in accordance with Sections 4.01(b).
For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the
Cut-off Date with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be
deemed to be the date of substitution.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be
exclusive. In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial
Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may withdraw such
amount from the Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Custodial Account shall be maintained as a segregated
account, separate and apart from trust funds created for mortgage pass-through
certificates of other series, and the other accounts of the Master Servicer.
(b) Funds in the Custodial Account may be invested in
Permitted Instruments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section
3.12. The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Company of
the location of the Custodial Account after any change thereof.
(c) Payments in the nature of late payment charges, prepayment
fees, assumption fees and reconveyance fees received on the Mortgage Loans shall
not be deposited in the Custodial Account, but rather shall be received and held
by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
SECTION 3.11. Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial
Account.
The Master Servicer may, from time to time as provided herein,
make withdrawals from the Custodial Account of amounts on deposit therein
pursuant to Section 3.10 that are attributable to the Mortgage Loans for the
following purposes:
(i) to make deposits into the Certificate Account in the
amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.01, such deposit to
include interest collections on the Mortgage Loans at the Net Mortgage
Rate [and net of amounts reimbursed therefrom];
(ii) to pay to itself, the Company, the Seller or any other
appropriate person, as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage
Loan that has previously been purchased, repurchased or replaced
pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.04 or 9.01 all amounts received thereon
and not yet distributed as of the date of purchase, repurchase or
substitution;
(iii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for Advances not
previously reimbursed, the Master Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's
right to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (iii) being limited to
amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of the related
Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments on Mortgage Loans with respect to
which such Advances were made and as further provided in Section 3.15;
(iv) to reimburse or pay itself, the Trustee or the Company
for expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Company pursuant to Sections 3.22, 6.03, 8.05, 10.01(c)
or 10.01(g), except as otherwise provided in such Sections;
(v) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for costs and
expenses incurred by or reimbursable to it relating to the prosecution
of any claims pursuant to Section 3.13 that are in excess of the
amounts so recovered;
(vi) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for unpaid
Servicing Fees and unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Master
Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right to reimbursement pursuant to
this clause (vi) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to
late recoveries of the payments for which such advances were made
pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.09 and any other related Late
Collections;
(vii) to pay itself as servicing compensation (in addition to
the Servicing Fee), on or after each Distribution Date, any interest or
investment income earned on funds deposited in the Custodial Account
for the period ending on such Distribution Date, subject to Section
8.05;
(viii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for any Advance
previously made which itself has determined to be a Nonrecoverable
Advance, provided that either (a) such Advance was made with respect to
a delinquency that ultimately constituted an Excess Special Hazard
Loss, Excess Fraud Loss, Excess Bankruptcy Loss or Extraordinary Loss,
or (b) the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class B Certificates
have been reduced to zero; and
(ix) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account at the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate
accounting records on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of
justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to such clauses
(ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii).
In connection with clause (viii) above, the Trustee shall
notify the Master Servicer if and when the Certificate Principal Balances of the
Class B Certificates have been reduced to zero.
SECTION 3.12. Permitted Instruments.
Any institution maintaining the Custodial Account shall at the
direction of the Master Servicer invest the funds in such account in Permitted
Instruments, each of which shall mature not later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the Distribution Date next following the date of such
investment (except that if such Permitted Instrument is an obligation of the
institution that maintains such account, then such Permitted Instrument shall
mature not later than such Distribution Date) and shall not be sold or disposed
of prior to its maturity. All income and gain realized from any such investment
as well as any interest earned on deposits in the Custodial Account shall be for
the benefit of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the
Custodial Account (with respect to investments made hereunder of funds held
therein) an amount equal to the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any
such investment immediately upon realization of such loss without right of
reimbursement.
SECTION 3.13. Maintenance of Primary Mortgage Insurance and
Primary Hazard Insurance.
(a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any
Sub-Servicer to take, any action which would result in non-coverage under any
applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the
actions of the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer, would have been covered
thereunder. To the extent coverage is available, the Master Servicer shall keep
or cause to be kept in full force and effect each such Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy until the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan
secured by a Mortgaged Property is reduced to 75% or less of the Collateral
Value in the case of such a Mortgage Loan having a Loan-to-Value Ratio at
origination in excess of 80%. The Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to
renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, or consent to any Sub-Servicer
canceling or refusing to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy
applicable to a Mortgage Loan subserviced by it, that is in effect at the date
of the initial issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force
hereunder unless the replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such
canceled or non-renewed policy is maintained with a Qualified Insurer.
(b) In connection with its activities as administrator and
servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present or to
cause the related Sub-Servicer to present, on behalf of the Master Servicer, the
Sub-Servicer, if any, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims to the insurer
under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies, in a timely manner in accordance
with such policies, and, in this regard, to take or cause to be taken such
reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to
Section 3. 10, any Insurance Proceeds collected by or remitted to the Master
Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the
Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11.
(c) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan primary hazard insurance with extended coverage on the related
Mortgaged Property in an amount equal to the lesser of 100% of the replacement
value of the improvements, as determined by the insurance company, on such
Mortgaged Property or the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan. The
Master Servicer shall also cause to be maintained on property acquired upon
foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan, fire
insurance with extended coverage in an amount equal to the replacement value of
the improvements thereon. Pursuant to Section 3.10, any amounts collected by the
Master Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus
acquired or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master
Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Custodial
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by
the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose
of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the
amount owing under the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the
Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on
property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance. When the improvements securing a Mortgage
Loan are located at the time of origination of such Mortgage Loan in a federally
designated special flood hazard area, the Master Servicer shall cause flood
insurance (to the extent available) to be maintained in respect thereof. Such
flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the replacement
value of the improvements, which are part of such Mortgaged Property on a
replacement cost basis and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available
for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program
(assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is
participating in such program).
In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and
maintain a blanket fire insurance policy with extended coverage insuring against
hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to
have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this
Section 3.13, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that
there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy
complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.13 and there shall have
been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the
Certificate Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy
because of such deductible clause. Any such deposit by the Master Servicer shall
be made on the Certificate Account Deposit Date next preceding the Distribution
Date which occurs in the month following the month in which payments under any
such policy would have been deposited in the Custodial Account. In connection
with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the
Master Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and
Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.
SECTION 3.14. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
The Master Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of
any conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged
Property (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or
not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage), exercise or cause to be exercised its rights to accelerate the
maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause applicable
thereto; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such
rights if it reasonably believes that it is prohibited by law from doing so or
if such enforcement will adversely affect or jeopardize required coverage under
the Insurance Policies. If the Master Servicer is unable to enforce such "due-
on-sale" clause (as provided in the previous sentence) or if no "due-on-sale"
clause is applicable, the Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicer will enter into an
assumption and modification agreement with the Person to whom such property has
been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person
becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by
applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer shall not enter into any assumption and modification
agreement if the coverage provided under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any,
would be impaired by doing so. The Master Servicer is also authorized to enter
into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which
the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted
as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, if the Master
Servicer shall have determined in good faith that such substitution will not
adversely affect the collectability of the Mortgage Loan. Any fee collected by
or on behalf of the Master Servicer for entering into an assumption or
substitution of liability agreement will be retained by or on behalf of the
Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any
such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not
limited to the Mortgage Rate, the amount of the Monthly Payment and any other
term affecting the amount or timing of payment on the Mortgage Loan) may be
changed. The Master Servicer shall not enter into any substitution or assumption
if such substitution or assumption would constitute a "significant modification"
effecting an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under the Code (or
final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and
cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the
imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after the
Startup Day under the REMIC Provisions. The Master Servicer shall notify the
Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by
forwarding to the Trustee the original copy of such substitution or assumption
agreement, which copy shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for
all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as
all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision
of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default,
breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any
assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption that the
Master Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.14, the term "assumption" is deemed
to also include a sale of a Mortgaged Property that is not accompanied by an
assumption or substitution of liability agreement.
SECTION 3.15. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The Master Servicer shall exercise reasonable efforts,
consistent with the procedures that the Master Servicer would use in servicing
loans for its own account, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert
(which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of properties securing such
of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments
pursuant to Section 3.07, and which are not released from the Trust Fund
pursuant to any other provision hereof. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts to realize upon such defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will
maximize the receipt of principal and interest by Certificateholders, taking
into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The
foregoing is subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer
shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such
property unless it shall determine in (i) that such restoration will increase
the net proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to
Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii)
that such expenses will be recoverable by the Master Servicer through Insurance
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as
contemplated in Section 3.11. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all
other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided,
however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related
Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 3.11.
The proceeds of any Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition, as
well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds
or Liquidation Proceeds or any income from an REO Property, will be applied in
the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or any
Sub- Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, pursuant to
Section 3.11 (vi) or 3.22; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the
Mortgage Loan or REO Imputed Interest, at the Mortgage Rate, to the date of the
Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition, or to the Due Date prior to the
Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in
connection with a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition; and third, as a recovery
of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to
interest is less than a full recovery thereof, that amount will be allocated as
follows: first, on a pro rata basis, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and second, to
interest at the related Net Mortgage Rate. The portion of the recovery so
allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Master Servicer or
any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(vi). The portions of the recovery so
allocated to interest at the related Net Mortgage Rate and to principal of the
Mortgage Loan shall be applied as follows: first, to reimburse the Trustee for
any unpaid Trustee's Fees, second, to reimburse the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Advances in accordance with Section 3.
1 31 (iii) or 3.22, and third, for distribution in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.01(b) and 4.01(c).
SECTION 3.16. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt
by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed
in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately
notify the Trustee by a certification (which certification shall include a
statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial
Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited) of a
Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File in the
form of the Request for Release attached hereto as Exhibit F-2. Upon receipt of
such certification and request, the Trustee shall promptly release the related
Mortgage File to the Master Servicer. Subject to the receipt by the Master
Servicer of the proceeds of such payment in full and the payment of all related
fees and expenses, the Master Servicer shall arrange for the release to the
Mortgagor of the original cancelled Mortgage Note. The Master Servicer shall
provide for preparation of the appropriate instrument of satisfaction covering
any Mortgage Loan which pays in full and the Trustee shall cooperate in the
execution and return of such instrument to provide for its delivery or recording
as may be required. All other documents in the Mortgage File shall be retained
by the Master Servicer to the extent required by applicable law. No expenses
incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of
reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Custodial Account or the Certificate
Account.
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
the Insurance Policies or any other insurance policy relating to the Mortgage
Loan, the Trustee shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the
Trustee of a Request for Release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1,
release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Trustee shall
execute such documents as the Master Servicer shall prepare and request as being
necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request for Release
shall obligate the Master Servicer to return each document previously requested
from the Mortgage File to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Master
Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the
Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the
Custodial Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an
attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law,
for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the
foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and
the Master Servicer has delivered to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing
Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such
Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such
delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such
Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the
Custodial Account have been or will be so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan
has become an REO Property, the servicing receipt shall be released by the
Trustee to the Master Servicer.
Upon written request of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver to the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for
trustee's sale or other documents prepared by the Master Servicer that are
necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged
Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor
on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to
enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage
or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such request that such
pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee shall include a certification
as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution
and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the
lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion
of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
SECTION 3.17. Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to retain, from deposits to the Custodial Account of
amounts representing payments or recoveries of interest, the Servicing Fees with
respect to each Mortgage Loan (less any portion of such amounts retained by any
Sub-Servicer). In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover
unpaid Servicing Fees out of related Late Collections to the extent permitted in
Section 3.11.
The Master Servicer also shall be entitled pursuant to Section
3.11 to receive from the Custodial Account, as additional servicing compensation
interest or other income earned on deposits therein, as well as any prepayment

Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or blanket policy insuring against hazard
losses pursuant to Section 3.13, payment of the servicing compensation of the

SECTION 3.20. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Statement.
On or before [March 31] of each year, beginning with [March

(which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) to
the effect that, based on an examination by such firm conducted substantially in
compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or
the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac, the servicing of
mortgage loans under agreements (including this Agreement) substantially similar
to each other was conducted in compliance with such agreements except for such
significant exceptions or errors in record that, in the opinion of the firm, the
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for
Mortgages serviced for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac requires it to report. In rendering its
statement such firm may rely, as to the matters relating to the direct servicing
of mortgage loans by Sub-Servicers, upon comparable statements for examinations
conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac (rendered within one year of such statement) of firms of independent
public accountants with respect to those Sub-Servicers which also have been the
subject of such an examination. Copies of such statement 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 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 Company 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
Company 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 Company 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 Company or its
designee. The Company 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 an extension of the two-year grace period, more than 60 days before the
day on which the two-year grace period would otherwise expire, unless the Master
Servicer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the
Trustee and the Master Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust
Fund of such REO Property subsequent to two years after its acquisition will not
result in the imposition on the Trust Fund of taxes on "prohibited transactions"
thereof, as defined in Section 86OF of the Code, or cause the Trust Fund to fail
to qualify as a REMIC under federal law at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding. The Master Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate
each REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its
prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property
to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(8) or result in the receipt by the Trust Fund of any "income from non-
permitted assets" within the meaning of Section 86OF(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any
"net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the
REMIC Provisions. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master
Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer
protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as
is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may,
incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the
Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Master Servicer
deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders for the period prior
to the sale of such REO Property.
The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property
separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. The Master Servicer
shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in the Custodial
Account all revenues received with respect to the REO Properties, net of any
directly related expenses incurred or withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the
proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property.
If as of the date of acquisition of title to any REO Property
there remain outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to such
REO Property or any outstanding Advances allocated thereto the Master Servicer,
upon an REO Disposition, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unreimbursed related Advances as well as
any unpaid Servicing Fees from proceeds received in connection with the REO
Disposition, as further provided in Section 3.15.
Subject to the first paragraph of this Section 3.22, 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 to be in the
best economic interest of the Trust Fund.
Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in
the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other
consideration).
The Master Servicer shall deposit the proceeds from the REO
Disposition, net of any payment to the Master Servicer as provided above, in the
Custodial Account upon receipt thereof for distribution in accordance with
Section 4.01, including any such net proceeds which are in excess of the
applicable Stated Principal Balance plus all unpaid REO Imputed Interest thereon
through the date of the REO Disposition.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.22,
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 request
the Trustee and the Company to provide directions and instructions with respect
to such Mortgage Loan and shall act in accordance with any such directions and
instructions jointly provided by the Trustee and the Company. 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 acquire possession
of, the related Mortgaged Property, unless (i) the Company 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 Company an environmental audit report prepared by a Person who
regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards or
(B) the Company has directed the Master Servicer not to obtain an environmental
audit report. If the Trustee and the Company have not jointly provided
directions and instructions to the Master Servicer in connection with any such
Mortgage Loan within 30 days of a request by the Master Servicer for such
directions and instructions, then the Master Servicer shall take such action as
it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund (other than
proceeding against the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized at such time
as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the
related Mortgage.
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by
this Section 3.22 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.
SECTION 3.23. Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer.
On each Certificate Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account from its own
funds and without any right of reimbursement therefor, a total amount equal to
the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for such Distribution Date;
provided that the Master Servicer's obligations under this subsection on any
Distribution Date shall not be more than the total amount of its master
servicing compensation payable in such month.
SECTION 3.24. Additional Obligations of the Company.
The Company agrees that on or prior to the tenth day after the
Closing Date, the Company shall provide the Trustee with a written notification,
substantially in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto, relating to each Class
of Certificates, setting forth (i) in the case of each Class of such
Certificates, (a) if less than 10% of the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance of such Class of Certificates has been sold as of such date, the value
calculated pursuant to clause (b)(iii) of Exhibit J hereto, or, (b) if 10% or
more of such Class of Certificates has been sold as of such date but no single
price is paid for at least 10% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of
such Class of Certificates, then the weighted average price at which the
Certificates of such Class were sold and the aggregate percentage of
Certificates of such Class sold, (c) the first single price at which at least
10% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of such class of Certificates
was sold or, (d) if any Certificates of each Class of Certificates are retained
by the Company or an affiliated corporation, or are delivered to the Seller, the
fair market value of such Certificates as of the Closing Date, (ii) the
prepayment assumption used in pricing the Certificates, and (iii) such other
information as to matters of fact as the Trustee may reasonably request to
enable it to comply with its reporting requirements with respect to each Class
of such Certificates to the extent such information can in the good faith
judgment of the Company be determined by it.

SECTION 4.03. Remittance Reports; Advances by the Master
Servicer.
(a) By 11:00 A.M. New York time the Business Day following
each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a
report, prepared as of the close of business on the Determination Date (the
"Determination Date Report"), by telecopy or in a mutually agreeable electronic

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

Date pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 4.01 (a); and (iii) such other

require to perform the calculations necessary to make the distributions
contemplated by Section 4.01 and to prepare the statements to Certificateholders
contemplated by Section 4.02. The determination by the Trustee of such amounts
shall, in the absence of obvious error, be presumptively deemed to be correct
for all purposes hereunder.
(b) Not later than 2:00 P.M. New York time on the Certificate
Account Deposit Date, the Trustee shall notify the Master Servicer of the
aggregate amount of Advances required to be made for the related Distribution
Date, which shall be the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each
interest portion thereof adjusted to be net of the related Servicing Fee Rate),
less the amount of any related Debt Service Reductions or reductions in the
amount of interest collectable from the Mortgagor pursuant to the Relief Act, on
the Outstanding Mortgage Loans as of the related Due Date, which Monthly
Payments were delinquent as of the close of business as of the related
Determination Date, provided that following the reduction of the Certificate
Principal Balances of the Class B Certificates to zero no Advance shall be made
if it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. On or before 3:00 P.M. New York time on
each Certificate Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall either (i)
deposit in the Certificate Account from its own funds, or funds received
therefor from the Sub-Servicers, an amount equal to the Advances to be made by
the Master Servicer in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii) withdraw
from amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and deposit in the Certificate
Account all or a portion of the amounts held for future distribution in
discharge of any such Advance, or (iii) make advances in the form of any
combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any portion
of the amounts held for future distribution so used shall be replaced by the
Master Servicer by deposit in the Custodial Account on or before 12: 00 P.M. New
York time on any future Certificate Account Deposit Date to the extent that
funds attributable to the Mortgage Loans that are available in the Custodial
Account for deposit in the Certificate Account on such Certificate Account
Deposit Date shall be less than payments to Certificateholders required to be
made on the following Distribution Date. The amount of any reimbursement
pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(iii) in respect of outstanding Advances on any
Distribution Date shall be allocated to specific Monthly Payments due but
delinquent for previous Due Periods, which allocation shall be made, to the
extent practicable, to Monthly Payments which have been delinquent for the
longest period of time. Such allocations shall be conclusive for purposes of
reimbursement to the Master Servicer from recoveries on the Mortgage Loans
pursuant to Section 3.11. The determination by the Master Servicer that it has
made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by a certificate of a
Servicing Officer delivered to the 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 on the
Certificate Account Deposit Date that it will be unable to deposit in the
Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance required to be made for the
immediately succeeding Distribution Date in the amount determined by the Trustee
pursuant to paragraph (b) above, it shall give notice to the Trustee of its
inability to advance (such notice may be given by telecopy), not later than 3:00
P.M., New York time, on such Business Day, specifying the portion of such amount
that it will be unable to deposit. If the Master Servicer shall have determined
that it is not obligated to make the entire Advance because all or a lesser
portion of such Advance would not be recoverable from Insurance Proceeds,
Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to
the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders an Officer's Certificate
setting forth the reasons for the Master Servicer's determination. Not later
than 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the Certificate Account Deposit Date, unless
by such time the Master Servicer shall have directly or indirectly deposited in
the Certificate Account the entire amount of the Advances required to be made
for the related Distribution Date, pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall
(a) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under
this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01 and (b) assume the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to
deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance for the
immediately succeeding Distribution Date.
SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.
Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall
determine the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, that resulted from any
Cash Liquidation, Debt Service Reduction, Deficient Valuation or REO Disposition
that occurred during the related Prepayment Period. The amount of each Realized
Loss shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate by the Master Servicer.
Realized Losses shall be allocated among the various Classes of Certificates as
determined by the Trustee in accordance with the following provisions. All
Realized Losses, other than Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Bankruptcy
Losses, Excess Fraud Losses or Extraordinary Losses shall be allocated as
follows: first, to the Class B Certificates until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and second, among all the Class A
Certificates as described below. Any Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess
Bankruptcy Losses, Excess Fraud Losses and Extraordinary Losses on Mortgage
Loans will be allocated among the Class A and Class B Certificates on a pro rata
basis, as described below. As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a
"pro rata basis" among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an
allocation on a pro rata basis, without priority among the various Classes so
specified, to each such Class of Certificates on the basis of the then
outstanding Certificate Principal Balances thereof in the case of the principal
portion of a Realized Loss or based on the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon
in the case of an interest portion of a Realized Loss. Allocations of Realized
Losses which are Default Losses to the Class A Certificates will be made on a
pro rata basis, based on their then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances,
or the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon, as applicable, between the Class ▇-
▇, Class A-5 and Class A-6 Certificates, on the one hand, and the Class A-2,
Class A-3, Class A-4 and Variable Strip Certificates, on the other. Any such
Realized Losses so allocated to the Class A-1, Class A-5 and Class A-6
Certificates will be allocated first to the Class A-6 Certificates until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof or the Accrued Certificate Interest
thereon, as appropriate, is reduced to zero and then to the Class A-1 and Class
A-5 Certificates on a pro rata basis. Any allocation of the principal portion of
Realized Losses (other than Debt Service Reductions) to a Class A Certificate
shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the
amount so allocated, which allocation shall be deemed to have occurred at the
close of business on such Distribution Date. Any allocation of the principal
portion of Realized Losses (other than Debt Service Reductions) to the Class B
Certificates, shall be made by operation of the definition of "Certificate
Principal Balance" and by operation of the provisions of Section 4.01(b).
Allocations of the interest portions of Realized Losses shall be made by
operation of the definition of "Accrued Certificate Interest" and by operation
of the provisions of Section 4.01(b) or 4.01(d), as applicable. Allocations of
the principal portion of Debt Service Reductions shall be made by operation of
the provisions of Section 4.01(b) or 4.01(d), as applicable. All Realized Losses
and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates under this Section
4.04 will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the
Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
SECTION 4.05. Information Reports to be Filed by the Master
Servicer.
The Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicers shall file the
information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in
a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged
Property and the information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness
income with respect to any Mortgaged Property required by Sections 6050H, 6050J
and 6050P of the Code, respectively, and deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate stating that such reports have been filed. Such reports shall be in
form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such
Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
SECTION 4.06. Compliance with Withholding Requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting
payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount on the
Mortgage Loans, and payments of interest or discount on amounts invested by the
Trustee as agent for Certificateholders pursuant to an election made under
Section 4.01 hereof, that the Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under
the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such
withholding. In the event the Trustee withholds any amount from interest or
original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder
pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee shall, together with
its monthly report to such Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof,
indicate such amount withheld.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.
The Certificates will be substantially in the respective forms
annexed hereto as Exhibits ▇-▇, ▇-▇ and B. The Certificates will be issuable in
registered form only. The Class A Certificates, other than the Class A-5 and
Class A-7 Certificates, shall be issuable in minimum dollar denominations of
$1,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, except that one
Certificate of each Class of Class A Certificates may be issued in an amount
such that the denomination of such Certificate and the aggregate denomination of
all other outstanding Certificates of such Class together equal the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class. The Class B Certificates shall be
issuable in minimum dollar denominations of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1
in excess thereof, except that one Certificate of such Class may be issued in an
amount such that the denomination of such Certificate and the aggregate
denomination of all other outstanding Certificates of such Class together equal
the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of such Class. The Class A-5 and
Class A-7 Certificates shall be issuable in minimum Notional Amounts of $1,000
and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, except that one Certificate of
each such Class may be issued in an amount such that the denomination of such
Certificate and the aggregate denomination of all other outstanding Certificates
of such Class together equal the aggregate Notional Amount of such Class. The
Class R Certificates will each be issuable in minimum denominations of any
Percentage Interest representing 20% and integral multiples of 0.01% in excess
thereof, provided, however, that one Class R Certificate may be issued to the
"tax matters person" pursuant to Article X, in a minimum denomination
representing a Percentage Interest of not less than 0.01%.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall, upon the written
request of the Company executed by an officer of the Company, be executed and
delivered by the Trustee, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered to or upon
the order of the Company upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents specified
in Section 2.01. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile
signature on behalf of the Trustee in its capacity as trustee hereunder by a
Responsible Officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Trustee shall bind
the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates
or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate
shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any
purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the
Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Certificate shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates issued on the Closing
Date shall be dated the Closing Date and any Certificates delivered thereafter
shall be dated the date of their authentication.
SECTION 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
The Trustee shall maintain a Certificate Register in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided.
No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Class B or
a Class R Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other
disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and any applicable state securities laws or is
made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that a transfer of a
Class B or Class R Certificate is to be made (i) the Depositor may direct the
Trustee to require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer shall
be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the
basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and
laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the
Depositor or the Master Servicer, provided that such Opinion of Counsel will not
be required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by
the Depositor or any affiliate thereof, to a non-affiliate of the Depositor and
(ii) the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute a representation
letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 hereto, and the Trustee shall
require the transferor to execute a representation letter, substantially in the
form of Exhibit G-2 hereto, each acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee certifying to the Depositor and
the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which representation letters
shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer.
Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such applicable federal and state laws.
The Trustee shall require a written Opinion of Counsel from a
prospective transferee prior to the transfer of any Class B or Class R
Certificate to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement,
including individual retirement accounts and ▇▇▇▇▇ plans, that is subject to
Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA") or Section 4975 of the Code (any of the foregoing, a "Plan"), to a
trustee or other Person acting on behalf of any Plan, or to any other person who
is using "plan assets" of any Plan to effect such acquisition (including any
insurance company using funds in its general or separate accounts that may
constitute "plan assets"). Such Opinion of Counsel must establish to the
satisfaction of the Depositor and the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that
such disposition will not violate the prohibited transaction provisions of
Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. Neither the Depositor, the
Master Servicer nor the Trustee will be required to obtain such Opinion of
Counsel on behalf of any prospective transferee. In the case of any transfer of
the foregoing Certificates to an insurance company, in lieu of such Opinion of
Counsel, the Trustee shall require a certification in the form of Exhibit G-5
hereto substantially to the effect that all funds used by such transferee to
purchase such Certificates will be funds held by it in its general account which
it reasonably believes do not constitute "plan assets" of any Plan (as defined
above). The permission of any transfer in violation of the restriction on
transfer set forth in this paragraph shall not constitute a default or an Event
of Default.
(i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest
in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or
acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by
the following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee
or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a
Person other than such Person and to negotiate the terms of any
mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all
instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in
connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to
the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify
the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery to it, and
shall not register the transfer of any Class R Certificate until its receipt of
(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 Class R Certificate that is the
subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person
who is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted
Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02 and
agrees to be bound by them, and (II) a certificate, in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit G-4, from the Holder wishing to transfer the Class R Certificate, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer and the Trustee
representing and warranting, among other things, that no purpose of the proposed
Transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that
the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be
effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Class R Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate and (y) not to transfer its
Ownership Interest unless it provides a certificate to the Trustee in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit G-4.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in
a Class R Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate,
agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a "pass- through interest
holder" within the meaning of Temporary Treasury Regulations Section
1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class
R Certificate, if it is "a pass-through interest holder", or is holding an
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate on behalf of a "pass-through
interest holder."
(ii) The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Class R
Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-3, a certificate of
the holder requesting such transfer in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit G-4 and all of such other documents as shall have been
reasonably required by the Trustee as a condition to such registration.
Transfers of the Class R Certificates to Non-United States Persons and
Disqualified Organizations are prohibited.
(iii) (a) if any Disqualified Organization shall become a
holder of a Class R Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted
Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all
rights and obligations as holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. If a
Non-United States Person shall become a holder of a Class R
Certificate, then the last preceding United States Person shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations
as holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such
Transfer of such Class R Certificate. If a transfer of a Class R
Certificate is disregarded pursuant to the provisions of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-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 Class
R Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person
for any registration of Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in
fact not permitted by this Section 5.02 or for making any payments due
on such Certificate to the holder thereof or for taking any other
action with respect to such holder under the provisions of this
Agreement.
(b) If any purported Transferee shall become a holder
of a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this
Section 5.02 and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the
rights of the holder of such Class R Certificate as described in clause
(iii)(a) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the
Trustee shall have the right, without notice to the holder or any prior
holder of such Class R Certificate, to sell such Class R Certificate to
a purchaser selected by the Trustee on such terms as the Trustee may
choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver
each Class R Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the
Trustee. Such purchaser may be the Trustee itself. The proceeds of such
sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to
the Trustee), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the
Trustee to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any
sale under this clause (iii)(b) shall be determined in the sole
discretion of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be liable to any
Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate as a
result of its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue
Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions, all
information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the
transfer of an ownership interest in a Class R Certificate to any
Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the information
regarding "excess inclusions" of such Class R Certificates required to
be provided to the Internal Revenue Service and certain Persons as
described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.86OD-l(b)(5) and 1.860E
2(a)(5), and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real
estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate
or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate having as among its record
holders at any time any Person who is a Disqualified Organization. The
Trustee may charge and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for
providing such information as may be required from those Persons which
may have had a tax imposed upon them as specified in clauses (A) and
(B) of this paragraph for providing such information.
Subject to the preceding paragraphs, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office of the Trustee
maintained for such purpose, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
Class of a like aggregate initial Certificate Principal Balance. Every
Certificate surrendered for transfer shall be accompanied by notification of the
account of the designated transferee or transferees for the purpose of receiving
distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 by wire transfer, if any such transferee
desires and is eligible for distribution by wire transfer.
At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of the same Class
of a like aggregate initial Certificate Principal Balance, upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office of the Certificate Registrar.
Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder
making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or
surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made to the Certificateholders for
any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall
be canceled and retained by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee's
standard procedures.
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee
and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss
or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee such
security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and initial Certificate
Principal Balance. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section,
the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute
complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.
SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Company, 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
Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
ARTICLE VI
THE COMPANY AND THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 6.01. Liability of the Company and the Master
Servicer.
The Company 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 Company and the Master Servicer herein.
SECTION 6.02. Merger, Consolidation or Conversion of the
Company or the Master Servicer.
The Company 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; and provided further
that the Rating Agencies' ratings of the Class A Certificates immediately prior
to such merger or consolidation will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a
result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating
Agencies).
Any Person into which the Company or the Master Servicer may
be merged, consolidated or converted, or any corporation resulting from any
merger or consolidation to which the Company or the Master Servicer shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Company or the Master
Servicer, shall be the successor of the Company or the Master Servicer, as the
case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving
Person to the Master Servicer shall be qualified to sell mortgage loans to and
service mortgage loans for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac.
SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Company, the
Master Servicer and Others.
Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company 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 Company or the Master Servicer (but this
provision shall protect the above described persons) against any breach of
warranties or representations made herein, or against any specific liability
imposed on the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01 or any other Section
hereof; and provided further that this provision shall not protect the Company,
the Master Servicer or any such person, against any liability which would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. The Company, the Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company 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 Company,
the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company
or the Master Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund
against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal
action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss,
liability or expense related to Master Servicer's servicing obligations with
respect to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such
loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this
Agreement) or related to the Master Servicer's obligations under Section 3.01,
or any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.
Neither the Company 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
Company 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 Company and the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Certificate
Account as provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior
to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Certificate
Account.
SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of the Master
Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor servicer
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and upon receipt by the Trustee of a letter
from each Rating Agency that such a resignation and appointment will not, in and
of itself, result in a downgrading of the Certificates or (b) upon determination
that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law (any
such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer to be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the resigning Master
Servicer) to such effect delivered to the Trustee). No such resignation shall
become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed
the Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations
hereunder.
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 one day after
the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same
to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the
Company (with a copy to the Trustee) or the Trustee, or to the Master
Servicer, the Company 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 Company (with a copy to the Trustee) or the Trustee, or to the
Master Servicer, the Company 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, marshaling 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, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of

similar statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors,
or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(vi) the Master Servicer shall fail to deposit in the
Certificate Account on any Certificate Account Deposit Date an amount

If the Master Servicer shall fail to make any deposit in the
Certificate Account as required by Section 4.01, the Trustee shall give the
Master Servicer notice pursuant to clause (i) not later than the Business Day
following the Certificate Account Deposit Date. If an Event of Default described
in clauses (i) - (v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every
such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the
Company 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 Company if given by the Trustee or to the
Trustee if given by the Company) 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 and the Company, 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 Company, terminate all of the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to
the Trust Fund, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. On or
after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such notice, all authority and power
of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates (other than as a holder thereof) or the Mortgage Loans or other
wise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this
Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered
to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instru ments, and to do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or
assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of
the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without
limitation, the transfer to the Trustee or its appointed agent for
administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be deposited by
the Master Servicer or should have been deposited to the Custodial or the
Certificate Account or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage
Loans. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have breached any obligation hereunder
as a result of a failure to make or delay in making any distribution as and when
required hereunder caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to remit any
amounts received on it or to deliver any documents held by it with respect to
the Mortgage Loans. For purposes of this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall not be
deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee assigned to and working in the Trustee's Corporate Trust Division
has actual knowledge thereof or unless notice of any event which is in fact such
an Event of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the
Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement.
[Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of [Name of
Master Servicer] in its capacity as Master Servicer hereunder, [Name of Master
Servicer] shall be entitled to receive, out of any Late Collection of a Monthly
Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating [Name
of Master Servicer]'s rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and
received after such notice, that portion to which [Name of Master Servicer]
would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.11 (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and
(viii) and Section 4. 01 (b)(iii) as well as the portion of its related
Servicing Fee in respect thereof, and any other amounts payable to [Name of
Master Servicer] hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the
termination of its activities hereunder.]
SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee or its appointed agent shall
be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as
Master Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided
for herein and shall be subject thereafter to all the responsibilities, duties
and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer including the
obligation to make Advances which have been or will be required to be made
(except for the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section
2.03 and its obligations to deposit amounts in respect of losses incurred prior
to the date of succession pursuant to Section 3.12 and 4.01(e)) by the terms and
provisions hereof; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties
or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's failure to provide
information required by Section 4.03 shall not be considered a default by the
Trustee hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to
all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which the Master Servicer would have
been entitled to charge to the Custodial Account and the Certificate Account if
the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the above,
the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable
to so act or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, appoint, or petition a court
of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac approved
mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000
as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or
any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer
hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder,
the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. In connection
with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for
the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and
such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall
be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and
such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall
be necessary to effectuate any such succession; provided, however, that such
succession shall not reduce the ratings of the Certificates below the original
ratings thereof.
Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Master Servicer
shall maintain in force during its term as master servicer hereunder the
Insurance Policies and fidelity bonds to the same extent as the Master Servicer
is so required pursuant to Sections 3.13 and 3.18.
SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any such termination or appointment of a successor to
the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt notice thereof to
Certificateholders.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of
Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates
notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such
Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
SECTION 7.04. Waiver of Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights of
Certificates affected by a default or Event of Default hereunder, may waive such
default or Event of Default (other than an Event of Default set forth in Section
7.01(vi); provided, however, that (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 7.04 shall affect the Holders of Certificates in the manner set forth in
the second paragraph of Section 11.01 or materially adversely affect any
non-consenting Certificateholder. Upon any such waiver of a default or Event of
Default by the Holders representing the requisite percentage of Voting Rights of
Certificates affected by such default or Event of Default, such default or Event
of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for
every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the
extent expressly so waived.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a duty.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found
not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the
Trustee shall take action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument
corrected.
The Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust Fund any tax
return that the Trustee is required to sign pursuant to applicable federal,
state or local tax laws.
The Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall perform its
obligations hereunder in a manner so as to maintain the status of the Trust Fund
as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and to prevent the imposition of any
federal, state or local income, prohibited transaction, contribution or other
tax on the Trust Fund to the extent that maintaining such status and avoiding
such taxes are reasonably within the control of the Trustee and are reasonably
within the scope of its duties under this Agreement.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve
the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after
the curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the
duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable
except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and,
in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error
of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect
to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Trustee, under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(a) The Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers'
Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or
other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of
Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of
any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
accordance therewith;
(c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to make any
investigation of matters arising hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend
any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or
direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall,
however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default (which has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of his own affairs;
(d) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by
this Agreement;
(e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder
and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document,
unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within a
reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to
be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the
Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by
the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity
against such expense or liability as a condition to taking any such action. The
reasonable expense of every such reasonable examination shall be paid by the
Master Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Master
Servicer upon demand; and
(f) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys.
SECTION 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage
Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates, other
than the signature of the Trustee on the Certificates and the certificate of
authentication, shall be taken as the state ments of the Company 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 Company 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 or the Certificate
Account or any other account by or on behalf of the Company or the Master
Servicer, other than any funds held by or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance
with Section 4.01.
SECTION 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it
were not Trustee.
SECTION 8.05. Payment of Trustee's Fees.
The Trustee shall withdraw from the Certificate Account on
each Distribution Date and pay to itself the Trustee's Fee. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, the Trustee and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless
against any loss, liability or "unanticipated out-of-pocket" expense incurred or
paid to third parties (which expenses shall not include salaries paid to
employees, or allocable overhead, of the Trustee) in connection with the
acceptance or administration of its trusts hereunder or the Certificates, other
than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder all such amounts shall be
payable from funds in the Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.11. The
provisions of this Section 8.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee against any loss, liability
or expense that may be sustained in connection with this Agreement related to
the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its
duties hereunder.
SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or a
national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of any
state or the United States of America or the District of Columbia, authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority. In addition, the Trustee shall at all times be
acceptable to the Rating Agency rating the Certificates. If such corporation
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 8.07. The corporation or national banking association serving as Trustee
may have normal banking and trust relationships with the 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.
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 Company, 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 Company 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 Company. 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 Company or the Master Servicer, or if at any
time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt
or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or
of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, or if the rating of the long-term debt obligations of the Trustee
is not acceptable to the Rating Agency in respect of mortgage pass-through
certificates having a rating equal to the then current rating on the
Certificates, then the Company 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 Company.
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 Company.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not
become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.
SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Master Servicer and to its
predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the prede cessor trustee shall become
effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor
trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it
hereunder, and the Master Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required
for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all
such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as
provided in this Section, the Master Servicer shall mail notice of the
succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their
addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Master Servicer fails to
mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at
the expense of the Master Servicer.
SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from
any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party,
or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located,
the Company and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by
the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and
to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust
Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section
8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Company and the
Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Company 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 Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created
hereby (other than the obligations of the Master Servicer to provide for and the
Trustee to make payments to Certificateholders as hereafter set forth) shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on
behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them hereunder following the
earlier to occur of (i) the repurchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property in respect thereof remaining in the Trust Fund at a
price equal to (a) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan
(other than one as to which a REO Property was acquired) on the day of
repurchase together with accrued interest on such unpaid principal balance at
the related Net Mortgage Rate to the first day of the month in which the
proceeds of such repurchase are to be distributed, plus (b) the appraised value
of any REO Property less the good faith estimate of the Master Servicer of
liquidation expenses to be incurred in connection with its disposal thereof,
such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the
Master Servicer and the Trustee at the expense of the Master Servicer, (but not
more than the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, together
with accrued interest on that balance at the Net Mortgage Rate to the first day
of the month of repurchase), and (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or
any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the
Trust Fund (or the disposition of all REO Property in respect thereof);
provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue
beyond expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the
descendants of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 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 ___% 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 distribution and cancellation, shall be given
promptly by the Master Servicer by letter to the Trustee and shall be given
promptly by the Trustee to the Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such
notice is given in connection with the Master Servicer's election to repurchase,
not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next
preceding the month of such final distribution or (b) otherwise during the month
of such final distribution on or before the Determination Date in such month, in
each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which final payment of the
Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the
office of the Certificate Registrar therein designated, (ii) the amount of any
such final payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation
and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar
therein specified. In the event such notice is given in connection with the
Master Servicer's election to repurchase, the Master Servicer shall deposit in
the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3. 10 on the last day of the related
Prepayment Period an amount equal to the above-described repurchase price
payable out of its own funds. Upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates by the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall distribute to the
Certificateholders (i) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution
Date, if not in connection with the Master Servicer's election to repurchase, or
(ii) if the Master Servicer elected to so repurchase, an amount determined as
follows: with respect to each Class A and Class B Certificate, the outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance thereof, plus one month's interest thereon at the
applicable Pass-Through Rate and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate
Interest, subject to the priority set forth in Section 4.01(b); and with respect
to each Class R Certificate, the Percentage Interest evidenced thereby
multiplied by the difference, if any, between the above described repurchase
price and the aggregate amount to be distributed to the Class A and Class B
Certificateholders. Upon certification to the Trustee by a Servicing Officer,
following such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release the Mortgage
Files as directed by the Master Servicer for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and
the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments
required by the Master Servicer as being necessary to effectuate such transfer.
In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not
surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the time
specified in the above-mentioned notice, the Trustee shall give a second notice
to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
six months after the second notice all of the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take reasonable steps as
directed by the Company, or appoint an agent to take reasonable steps, to
contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other
assets which remain subject hereto. If, within nine months after the second
notice, all of the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Class R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed
funds and other assets which remain subject hereto.
SECTION 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event the Master Servicer repurchases the Mortgage
Loans as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in
accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Master
Servicer obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.02
will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on the net income derived from
"prohibited transactions" of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F of the
Code or (ii) cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificates are outstanding:
(i) The Trustee shall establish a 90-day liquidation period
and specify the first day of such period in a statement attached to the
Trust Fund's final Tax Return pursuant to Treasury Regulation
(S)1.860F-1. The Trustee shall satisfy all the requirements of a
qualified liquidation under 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 Master
Servicer shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund for cash; and
(iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates all
remaining cash on hand (other than cash retained to meet claims), and
the Trust Fund shall terminate at that time.
(b) By their acceptance of the Class R Certificates, the
Holders thereof hereby agree to authorize the Trustee to specify the 90-day
liquidation period for the Trust Fund, which authorization shall be binding upon
all successor Class R Certificateholders.
ARTICLE X
REMIC PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01. REMIC Administration.
(a) The Trustee shall make an election to treat the Trust Fund
as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. Such
election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or
information return or any appropriate state return for the taxable year ending
on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. For
the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Trust Fund, the Class A and
Class B Certificates shall be designated as the "regular interests" and the
Class R Certificates shall be designated as the sole class of "residual
interest" in the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall not permit the creation of any
"interests" in the Trust Fund (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code)
other than the Regular Certificates and the Residual Certificates.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day"
of the Trust Fund within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The Trustee shall hold a Class R Certificate representing
a 0.01% Percentage interest of all Class R Certificates and shall be designated
as the tax matters person of the Trust Fund in the manner provided under
Treasury regulations Section 1.860F-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. The legal expenses and costs of any such action
described in this subsection and any liability resulting therefrom shall
constitute expenses of the Trust Fund and the Trustee shall be entitled to
reimbursement therefor unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by
reason of the Trustee's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.
(d) Except as provided in Section 4.05, the Trustee shall
prepare or cause to be prepared, sign and file all of the Tax Returns in respect
of the Trust Fund created hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing such
returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of reimbursement
therefor.
(e) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of the Trust Fund all
reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of the
Trust Fund under the Code, REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance issued
by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among
its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other such
compliance guidance, the Trustee shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Class
R Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax
relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Person who is not a
Permitted Transferee, (ii) Certificateholders such information or reports as are
required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to
interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the
Prepayment Assumption) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name,
title, address and telephone number of the person who will serve as the
representative of the Trust Fund. In addition, the Company 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 to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event
could occur with respect to such action. In addition, prior to taking any action
with respect to the Trust Fund or its assets, or causing the Trust Fund to take
any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement,
the Master Servicer will consult with the Trustee or its designee, in writing,
with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur
with respect to the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall not take any such
action or cause the Trust Fund to take any such action as to which the Trustee
has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee
may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall
be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement
(but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee). At all times as
may be required by the Code, the Trustee will ensure that substantially all of
the assets of the Trust Fund will consist of "qualified mortgages" as defined in
Section 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 the willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in performance by the Trustee of any of its
obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the
Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article X,
or otherwise (iii) against amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and shall
be paid by withdrawal therefrom.
(h) On or before [April 15] of each calendar year, commencing
[April 15], 20_, the Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer and each
Rating Agency a Certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Trustee stating
the Trustee's compliance with this Article X.
(i) The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall, for federal
income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the Trust Fund
on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.
(j) Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept
any contributions of assets to the Trust Fund other than in connection with any
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.04
unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (which such Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the inclusion
of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause the Trust Fund to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject
the Trust Fund to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable
provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(k) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter
into any arrangement by which the Trust Fund will receive a fee or other
compensation for services nor permit either such REMIC to receive any income
from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 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, and based on certain
assumptions described below, the "latest possible maturity date" by which the
Certificate Principal Balances of the Certificates representing a regular
interest in the Trust Fund would be reduced to zero is __________ 25, 20__,
which is the Distribution Date immediately following the latest scheduled
maturity of any Mortgage Loan as determined assuming that (i) scheduled interest
and principal payments on the Mortgage Loans are received in a timely manner,
with no delinquencies or losses, (ii) there are no principal prepayments, and
(iii) neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer will repurchase any Mortgage
Loans.
SECTION 10.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
Neither the Company, 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
Company 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 Company or the Master Servicer, as a result of the willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence by the Trustee with respect to the
Trustee's covenants set forth in this Article X.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund,
the Company and the Trustee for any taxes and costs (including, without
limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees) imposed on or incurred by the Trust
Fund, the Company 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.

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

effect that (1) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such
qualification or to avoid or minimize such risk, and (2) such action will not
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder,
or (b) to restrict the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the
Company has determined that the then- current ratings of the Class A
Certificates will not be adversely affected, as evidenced by a letter from each
Rating Agency, and that any such amendment will not give rise to any tax with
respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted
Transferee, (v) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising this Agreement which are not materially inconsistent with the
provisions thereof, provided that such action will not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, or (vi) to amend
specified provisions that are not material to holders of any class of
Certificates offered hereunder.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to each
Class affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing
in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or
delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to
be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Holders
of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of
consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name of
the Seller or the Master Servicer or any affiliate thereof shall be entitled to
Voting Rights with respect to matters described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this
paragraph.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the Person requesting
such amendment) to the effect that such amendment will not result in the
imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or
cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any of the
Certificates are outstanding. Promptly after the execution of any such amendment
the Trustee shall furnish a statement describing the amendment to each
Certificateholder.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of
Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve
the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing
the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be
subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Prior to executing any amendment pursuant to this Section, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the
Person requesting such amendment) to the effect that such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this Agreement. The cost of an Opinion of Counsel
delivered pursuant to this Section 11.01 shall be an expense of the party
requesting such amendment, but in any case shall not be an expense of the
Trustee.

amendment pursuant to this Section that affects its rights, duties and
immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be
effected by the Master Servicer and at the expense of the Company on direction
by the Trustee, but only upon direction accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the
interests of the Certificateholders.

counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.

operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the
Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation
and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor

partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under
any liability to any third party by reason of any action taken by the parties to
this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a notice of an Event of
Default, or of a default by the Seller or the Trustee in the performance of any
obligation hereunder, and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided,
and unless also the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the
Voting Rights shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such
action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have
offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the
costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the
Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or
proceeding. It is understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each
Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no
one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever
by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the
rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to
obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any
right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the

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

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

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund,
and does not represent an obligation of or interest in Quick Loan Funding
Mortgage Acceptance Corporation, the Master Servicer, the Trustee referred to
below or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying
Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or

This certifies that ________________ is the registered owner of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate stated above in certain

one- to four-family fixed-rate first lien mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"),
formed and sold by Quick Loan Funding Mortgage Acceptance Corporation
(hereinafter called the "Company," which term includes any successor entity
under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as specified above (the "Agreement") among
the Company, the Master Servicer and [Name of Trustee], as trustee (the
"Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set
forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used
herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued
under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement,
to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing as
described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is

from the Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount of interest and
principal, if any , required to be distributed to Holders of Class R

Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be
bound by the restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each
person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a
United States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any
Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to
the Trustee of, among other things, an affidavit to the effect that it is a
United States Person and Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported
transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such
restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the

the Company may choose.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate

may have additional obligations with respect to this Certificate, including tax
liabilities, and may be entitled to certain additional distributions hereon, in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Agreement.
In connection with any transfer of this Certificate, the Trustee will
also require either (i) an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee with respect to the permissibility of such
transfer under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA") and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and
stating, among other things, that the transferee's acquisition of a Class R
Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction
under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) a representation
letter, in the form as described by the Agreement, stating that the transferee
is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction
provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a "Plan"), or any other person
(including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan)
acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with

Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Company, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates

offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by an, assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in

thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing
the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided
in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein, set forth,

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

1. That he/she is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Owner], a [savings
institution] [corporation] duly organized and existing under the laws of [the
State of __________] [the United States], (the "Owner"), (record or beneficial
owner of the Class R Certificates (the "Class R Certificates") on behalf of
which he/she makes this affidavit and agreement). This Class R Certificates were
issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement") dated as of _________ 1, 200_ among Quick Loan Funding
Mortgage Acceptance Corporation, as company, [Name of Master Servicer], as
master servicer (the "Master Servicer"), and [Name of Trustee], as trustee (the
"Trustee").
2. That the Owner (i) is not and will not be a "disqualified
organization" as of _____________ [date of transfer] within the meaning of
Section 860E(e)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), (ii) will endeavor to remain other than a disqualified organization for
so long as it retains its ownership interest in the Class R Certificates, and
(iii) is acquiring the Class R Certificates for its own account or for the
account of another Owner from which it has received an affidavit and agreement
in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. (For this
purpose, a "disqualified organization" means the United States, any state or
political subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of the activities of which are
subject to tax and, except for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac, a majority of whose board of
directors is not selected by any such governmental entity) or any foreign
government, international organization or any agency or instrumentality of such
foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative,
or any organization (other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally
exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on
unrelated business taxable income).
3. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
transfers of Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Code,
that applies to all transfers of Class R Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii)
that such tax would be on the transferor, or, if such transfer is through an
agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a disqualified
organization, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax
shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such
person an affidavit that the transferee is not a disqualified organization and,
at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the
affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Class R Certificates may be "noneconomic
residual interests" within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual
interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
4. That the Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through
entity" holding Class R Certificates if at any time during the taxable year of
the pass-through entity a disqualified organization is the record holder of an
interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a "pass through entity" includes a
regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust
fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
5. That the Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the
transfer of any Class R Certificates unless the transferee, or the transferee's
agent, delivers to it an affidavit and agreement, among other things, in
substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Owner expressly
agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes
that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are
false.
6. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face
of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(f) of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued (in
particular, clause (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(f) which authorize the
Trustee to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a
mandatory sale by the Trustee in the event the Owner holds such Certificates in
violation of Section 5.02(f)). The Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to
comply with such restrictions and provisions.
7. That the Owner consents to any additional restrictions or
arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be
owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is not a disqualified
organization.
8. The Owner's Taxpayer Identification Number is _____________________.
9. This affidavit and agreement relates only to the Class R
Certificates held by the owner and not to any other holder of the Class R
Certificates. The Owner understands that the liabilities described herein relate
only to the Class R Certificates.
10. That no purpose of the Owner relating to the transfer of any of the
Class R Certificates by the Owner is or will be to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax.
11. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will
be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the
Certificates remain outstanding. In this regard, the Owner hereby represents to
and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificate
that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R
Certificate as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax
liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificate.
12. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will
become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any of the
Class R Certificates remain outstanding.
13. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, provided that
with respect to any partnership or other entity treated as a partnership for
United States federal income tax purposes, all persons that own an interest in
such partnership either directly or through any entity that is not a corporation
for United States federal income tax purposes are required by the applicable
operative agreement to be United States Persons, or an estate or trust whose
income from sources without the United States is includible in gross income for
United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection with the
conduct of a trade or business within the United States.
14. (a) The Certificates (i) are not being acquired by, and will
not be transferred to, any employee benefit plan within the meaning of section
3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA") or other retirement arrangement, including individual retirement
accounts and annuities, ▇▇▇▇▇ plans and bank collective investment funds and
insurance company general or separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or
arrangements are invested, that is subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section
4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") (any of the foregoing, a
"Plan"), (ii) are not being acquired with "plan assets" of a Plan within the
meaning of the Department of Labor ("DOL") regulation, 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101
or otherwise under ERISA, and (iii) will not be transferred to any entity that
is deemed to be investing in plan assets within the meaning of the DOL
regulation, 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101 or otherwise under ERISA; or
(b) The Owner will provide the Trustee, the Company and the
Master Servicer with an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer to
the effect that the purchase of Certificates is permissible under applicable
law, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction
under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the
Company or the Master Servicer to any obligation or liability (including
obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition
to those undertaken in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
In addition, the Owner hereby certifies, represents and warrants to,
and covenants with, the Company, the Trustee and the Master Servicer that the
Owner will not transfer such Certificates to any Plan or person unless either
such Plan or person meets the requirements set forth in either (a) or (b) above.

investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that

paid its debts as they have become due and has found no significant evidence to
indicate that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as they become
due in the future. The Seller understands that the transfer of the Certificates
may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Seller may
continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith)
unless the Seller has conducted such an investigation.
