CONVEYANCE OF THE HOME LOANS
Section 2.01 Conveyance of the Home Loans. (a) As of the Closing
Date, in consideration of the Issuer's delivery of the Securities to the
Depositor or its designee, upon the order of the Depositor, the Depositor, as
of the Closing Date and concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the
Issuer, without recourse, but subject to the other terms and provisions of this
Agreement, all of the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the
Trust Estate and the Certificate Distribution Account. The foregoing sale,
transfer, assignment, set over and conveyance does not and is not intended to
result in a creation or an assumption by the Issuer of any obligation of the
Depositor, the Seller or any other Person in connection with the Trust Estate
or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto except as specifically
set forth in the Basic Documents.
(b) As of the Closing Date, the Issuer acknowledges the conveyance to
it by the Depositor of all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and
to the Trust Estate, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the Issuer.
Concurrently with such delivery, the Issuer has pledged to the Indenture
Trustee the Trust Estate, and in exchange for the conveyance to it by the
Depositor of all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the
Trust Estate (i) the Owner Trustee (not in its individual capacity, but solely
as Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer) has executed the Notes and (ii) the
Issuer has caused the Indenture Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Notes
to the Depositor or its designee, upon the order of the Issuer. In addition,
concurrently with the delivery to the Issuer of all of the Depositor's right,
title and interest in and to the Trust Estate and in exchange therefor, the
Owner Trustee, pursuant to the instructions of the Depositor, has executed (not
in its individual capacity, but solely as Owner Trustee on behalf of the
Issuer) and caused to be authenticated and delivered the Certificates to the
Depositor or its designee, upon the order of the Depositor.
(c) The Depositor agrees to take or cause to be taken such actions
and execute such documents (including without limitation the filing of all
necessary continuation statements for the UCC-1 financing statements filed in
the State of New York (which shall have been filed on or before the Closing
Date)) describing the Home Loans and the Cut-Off Date Principal Balances and
naming the Depositor as debtor and the Indenture Trustee as secured party and
any amendments to UCC-1 financing statements as are necessary to perfect and
protect the Trust's, the Indenture Trustee's on behalf of the Noteholders and
the Owner Trustee's on behalf of the Certificateholders' interests in each Home
Loan and the Cut-Off Date Principal Balance and the proceeds thereof and all
other items described in Section 2.01(a).
(d) The Seller agrees to take or cause to be taken such actions and
execute such documents (including without limitation the filing of all
necessary continuation statements for the UCC-1 financing statements filed in
the State of West Virginia (which shall have been filed on or before the
Closing Date)) describing the Home Loans and the Cut-Off Date Principal
Balances and naming the Seller, as debtor and the Depositor, as secured party
and any amendments to UCC-1 financing statements as are necessary to perfect
and protect from any entity claiming by or through the Seller the Depositor's,
the Trust's, the Indenture Trustee's on behalf of the Noteholders and the Owner
Trustee's on behalf of the Certificateholders' interests in each Home Loan and
the Cut-Off Date Principal Balance and the proceeds thereof and all other items
described in Section 2.01(a).
(e) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the transfers and
assignments contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a sale of the Trust
Estate from the Depositor to the Issuer and upon the execution of this
Agreement by the parties hereto, the Trust Estate shall no longer be owned by
the Depositor. If the assignment, transfer and conveyance of the Trust Estate
to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement is held or deemed not to be a sale or
is held or deemed to be a pledge of security for a loan, the Depositor intends
that the rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement shall be
established by the terms of this Agreement and that, in such event, (i) the
Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Issuer a first priority
security interest in the entire right, title and interest of the Depositor in
and to the Trust Estate and all proceeds thereof, and (ii) this Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law. Prior to or promptly
after the Closing Date, the Depositor shall cause to be filed a UCC-1 financing
statement with the Secretary of State of Delaware naming the Depositor as
"debtor" and the Issuer as "secured party" and describing the Trust Estate.

(a) With respect to each Home Loan, on the Closing Date the Seller
shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to the Custodian each of the
following documents (collectively, the "Home Loan Files"):

Contract:

1999-1, without recourse" and signed, by facsimile or manual
signature, in the name of the Seller by a Responsible Officer
thereof, together with all intervening endorsements that evidence a
complete chain of title from the originator thereof to the Seller;
provided that any of the foregoing endorsements may be contained on
an allonge which shall be firmly affixed to such Debt Instrument;
(ii) With respect to each Debt Instrument, either: (A) the
original Mortgage, with evidence of recording thereon, (B) a copy of
the Mortgage certified as a true copy by a Responsible Officer of the
Seller or by the closing attorney, if the original has been

by the public recording office in those instances where the original
recorded Mortgage has been lost or has been retained by the public

certified as a true copy by a Responsible Officer of the Seller where
the original has been transmitted for recording but has not, at the
time of delivery of this Agreement, been returned or (C) a copy of
the Assignment of Mortgage certified by the public recording office
in those instances where the original recorded Assignment of Mortgage
has been lost or has been retained by the public recording office
(provided, however, that where the original Assignment of Mortgage is
not being delivered to the Custodian, such Responsible Officer may
complete one or more blanket certificates attaching copies of one or
more Assignments of Mortgage relating thereto); provided that any
such Assignments of Mortgage may be made by blanket assignments for
Home Loans secured by Mortgaged Properties located in the same
county, if permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that the
recordation of such Assignment of Mortgage shall not be required in
Non-Recordation States;
(iv) With respect to each Debt Instrument, either: (A) originals
of all intervening assignments of the Mortgage, with evidence of
recording thereon, (B) if the original intervening assignments have
not yet been returned from the recording office, a copy of the
originals of such intervening assignments together with a certificate

certifying that the copy is a true copy of the original of such
intervening assignments or (C) a copy of the intervening assignment
certified by the public recording office in those instances where the
original recorded intervening assignment has been lost or has been
retained by the public recording office; provided that the chain of
intervening recorded assignments shall not be required to match the
chain of intervening endorsements of the Debt Instrument, so long as
the chain of intervening recorded assignments, if applicable,
evidences one or more assignments of the Mortgage from the original
mortgagee ultimately to the person who has executed the Assignment of
Mortgage referred to in clause (iii) above;
(v) for each Home Loan either an original title insurance policy
or a title search or guaranty of title, provided that if any such

issuance of such policy with respect to the related Mortgaged
Property promptly upon any such document coming into the possession
of the Seller;
(vi) the original of any guaranty executed in connection with

(viii) any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent
instrument executed in connection with the Mortgage; and
(ix) any insurance policies relating to the Home Loan.
(B)With respect to each Home Loan evidenced by a Contract:
(i) The original Contract stamped as follows: "This Contract has
been assigned to U.S. Bank National Association, as Indenture Trustee
for United National Home Loan Owner Trust 1999-1 Asset-Backed Notes,
or to any successor Indenture Trustee thereunder";
(ii) The original title document for the related Manufactured
Home or a duplicate certified by the appropriate governmental
authority which issued the original thereof or the application for
such title document or, if the laws of the jurisdiction in which the

ownership of the related Manufactured Home which is customarily
relied upon in such jurisdiction as evidence of title to a
manufactured housing unit;
(iii) Evidence of one or more of the following types of
perfection of the security interest in the related Manufactured Home
granted by such Contract, as appropriate: (a) notation of such
security interest on the title document, (b) a financing statement
meeting the requirements of the UCC, with evidence of recording
indicated thereon, or (c) such other evidence of perfection of a
security interest in a manufactured housing unit as is customarily
relied upon in the jurisdiction in which the related Manufactured
Home is located;
(iv) The assignment of the Contract to the Indenture Trustee
(which may be in a blanket form that also covers other Contracts);
(v) Any extension, modification or waiver agreements;
(vi) With respect to any Land-and-Home Contract, the original
Mortgage with evidence of recording indicated thereon; provided,
however, that if the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon
cannot be delivered concurrently with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement solely because of a delay caused by the public
recording office where such Mortgage has been delivered for
recordation, there shall be delivered to the Grantor Trustee a copy
of such Mortgage certified as a true copy in an Officer's
Certificate, which Officer's Certificate shall certify that such
Mortgage has been delivered to the appropriate public recording
office for recordation, and there shall be promptly delivered to the
Grantor Trustee such Mortgage with evidence of recording indicated
thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording official (or a
true copy thereof certified by an appropriate public official may be
delivered to the Grantor Trustee); and
(vii) With respect to any Land-and-Home Contract, the original
assignment of Mortgage to the Grantor Trustee, in recordable form.
Such assignments may be blanket assignments, to the extent such
assignments are effective under applicable law, for Mortgage Loans
covering Mortgaged Properties situated within the same county. If the
assignment of Mortgage is in blanket form an assignment of Mortgage
need not be included in the individual Mortgage File.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the original Debt Instrument with
respect to a Home Loan cannot be located, the Seller may deliver a lost note
affidavit substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto; provided,
that the aggregate of Home Loans as to which lost note affidavits are delivered
shall not exceed 1.0% (by aggregate principal balance) of the Home Loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall not be required to
deliver to the Indenture Trustee, as Custodian, on or before the Closing Date
with respect to a Home Loan (a) the original Assignment of Mortgage pursuant to
clause (A)(iii) above or (b) an intervening assignment of the Mortgage from
Keystone or KMC, as the case may be, to the Seller pursuant to clause (A)(iv)
above if, in either case, the Indenture Trustee has agreed to prepare such
Assignment of Mortgage or intervening assignment of the Mortgage, as the case
may be. The Indenture Trustee shall endeavor to prepare and deliver to the
Seller, Keystone or KMC, as applicable, for execution each such Assignment of
Mortgage and intervening assignment of the Mortgage within 30 days following
the Closing Date and in any event shall prepare and deliver each such
Assignment of Mortgage and intervening assignment of the Mortgage no later than
90 days following the Closing Date with respect to each Home Loan for which the
related Home Loan File contains, as of date of the review conducted by the
Custodian pursuant to Section 2.06(a) hereof, the information necessary for the
Indenture Trustee to prepare the Assignment of Mortgage and the intervening
assignment of the Mortgage to the Seller. The Seller shall, and shall use its
best efforts to cause Keystone and KMC to, cooperate with Indenture Trustee in
the prompt execution and return to the Indenture Trustee of each such
Assignment of Mortgage or intervening assignment of the Mortgage, as
applicable, properly prepared by the Indenture Trustee; provided, that all such
executed Assignments of Mortgage and intervening assignments of the Mortgage
described in this paragraph shall be returned to the Indenture Trustee within
10 Business Days of receipt of the same from the Indenture Trustee. With
respect to any Home Loan, the Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied its
obligations under clause (A)(iii) or clause (A)(iv) of this Section 2.05(a) in
regard to the Assignment of Mortgage from the Seller to the Indenture Trustee
or the intervening assignment of the Mortgage from Keystone or KMC, as the case
may be, to the Seller, upon return to the Indenture Trustee of a properly
executed Assignment of Mortgage or intervening assignment of the Mortgage, as
applicable, in accordance with the terms of this paragraph or the following
paragraph. All Assignments of Mortgage (other than those with respect to the
Non-Recordation States) and all intervening assignments of the Mortgage to the
Seller described in this paragraph shall be submitted for recordation by the
Indenture Trustee to the applicable public recording office promptly following
receipt of such documents properly executed by the Seller, Keystone or KMC, as
the case may be, but in no event later than 10 days following the date of
receipt thereof by the Indenture Trustee.
If, as of the date of the review conducted by the Custodian pursuant
to Section 2.06(a) hereof, the Mortgage or other documentation necessary for
the Indenture Trustee to prepare the Assignment of Mortgage and the intervening
assignment of the Mortgage to the Seller is not contained in the Home Loan File
because the Mortgage or other document has not been returned from the
applicable public filing office, the Indenture Trustee shall, within 30 days
following the receipt of such Mortgage or other documentation from the
applicable public filing office, prepare and deliver such Assignment of
Mortgage and intervening assignment of the Mortgage, as the case may be, to the
Seller, and to Keystone or KMC, as applicable, for execution. The Seller shall,
and shall use its best efforts to cause Keystone and KMC to, cooperate with
Indenture Trustee in the prompt execution and return to the Indenture Trustee
of each such Assignment of Mortgage or intervening assignment of the Mortgage,
as applicable, properly prepared by the Indenture Trustee; provided, that all
such executed Assignments of Mortgage and intervening assignments of the
Mortgage to the Seller described in this paragraph shall be returned to the
Indenture Trustee within 10 Business Days of receipt from the Indenture
Trustee. All such Assignments of Mortgage (other than those with respect to the
Non-Recordation States) and all such intervening assignments of the Mortgage to
the Seller described in this paragraph shall be submitted for recordation by
the Indenture Trustee to the applicable public recording office promptly
following receipt of such documents properly executed by the Seller, Keystone
or KMC, as the case may be, but in no event later than 10 days following the
date of receipt thereof by the Indenture Trustee.
With respect to each Home Loan, the Seller shall, within five
Business Days after the receipt thereof, and in any event, within twelve months
of the Closing Date, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian: (i) the
original recorded Mortgage in those instances where a copy thereof certified by
the Seller was delivered to the Custodian; (ii) the original recorded
Assignment of Mortgage, except with respect to Non-Recordation States; (iii)
any original recorded intervening assignments of Mortgage in those instances
where copies thereof certified by the Seller were delivered to the Custodian;
and (iv) the original recorded assumption and modification agreement in those
instances in which a copy was delivered. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 2.05, in those instances where the public
recording office retains the original Mortgage or, if applicable, the
Assignment of Mortgage, the intervening assignments of the Mortgage or the
original recorded assumption and modification agreement after it has been
recorded, or where any such original has been lost or destroyed, the Seller
shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations hereunder with respect to the
delivery of any such document upon delivery to the Custodian of a copy, as
certified by the public recording office to be a true copy of the recorded
original of such Mortgage or, if applicable, the Assignment of Mortgage,
intervening assignments of Mortgage or assumption and modification agreement,
respectively.
The Seller shall not be required to record Assignments of Mortgages
for any Home Loan with respect to which the related Mortgaged Property is
located in a Non-Recordation State, and the delivery of the Assignments of
Mortgages for such Home Loans to the Custodian in recordable form on the
Closing Date or the agreement by the Indenture Trustee to prepare the same
shall constitute full compliance with subsection (b)(A)(iii) above and the
Seller shall retain record title to such Mortgages on behalf of the Indenture
Trustee and the holders of the Securities.
(b) All recordings required pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be
accomplished by or on behalf of and at the expense of the Seller.
Section 2.06. Acceptance by the Custodian of the Home Loans; Initial
Certification by Custodian. (a) The Custodian shall execute and deliver on the
Closing Date an acknowledgment of receipt of the Home Loan File for each Home
Loan. The Custodian shall hold such documents and any amendments, replacements
or supplements thereto, as well as any other assets included in the Trust
Estate, delivered to the Custodian in trust, upon and subject to the conditions
set forth herein for the benefit of the Securityholders. The Custodian shall
review each Home Loan File within 30 days after the Closing Date (or, with
respect to any Qualified Substitute Home Loan, within 30 days after the
conveyance of the related Home Loan to the Issuer) and shall deliver to the
Seller, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Servicer an interim
certification to the effect that, as to each Home Loan listed in the Home Loan
Schedule (other than any Home Loan paid in full or any Home Loan specifically
identified in such certification as not covered by such certification), (i) all
documents required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement are in its
possession, (ii) all documents delivered by the Seller to the Custodian
pursuant to Section 2.05 have been reviewed by the Custodian and have not been
mutilated or damaged and appear regular on their face (handwritten additions,
changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the
Obligor) and relate to such Home Loan, (iii) based on the examination of the
Custodian, and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth on
the Home Loan Schedule accurately reflects the information set forth in the
Home Loan File and (iv) each Debt Instrument has been endorsed as provided in
Section 2.05. Neither the Issuer nor the Custodian shall be under any duty or
obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable,
or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what
they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether any Home Loan
File should include any of the documents specified in Section 2.05(a)(v). Prior
to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver to
the Seller, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Servicer a final
certification evidencing the completeness of the Home Loans in its possession
or control.
(b) If the Custodian, during the process of reviewing the Home Loan
Files, finds any document constituting a part of the Home Loan File which is
not executed, has not been received, is unrelated to any Home Loan identified
in the Home Loan Schedule, does not conform to the requirements of Section 2.05
or does not conform, in all material respects, to the description thereof as
set forth in the Home Loan Schedule, then the Custodian shall promptly so
notify the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Seller. In
performing any such review, the Custodian may conclusively rely on the Seller
as to the purported genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon.
It is understood that the scope of the Custodian's review of the Home Loan
Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents listed in Section 2.05
have been received and further confirming that any and all documents delivered
pursuant to Section 2.05 have been executed and relate to the Home Loans
identified in the Home Loan Schedule. Neither the Issuer nor the Custodian
shall have any responsibility for determining whether any document is valid and
binding, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or
recordable form, whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the
requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is
permitted in any applicable jurisdiction. If a material defect in a document
constituting part of a Home Loan File is discovered, then the Seller shall
comply with the cure, substitution and repurchase provisions of Section 3.05
hereof.
(c) On the Payment Date in December of each year commencing in 1999,
the Custodian shall deliver to the Seller, the Indenture Trustee and the
Servicer a certification listing all Home Loan Files held by the Custodian on
such Payment Date.

Balance) of the Home Loans do not constitute "real estate mortgages" for the
purpose of Treasury Regulation ss.301.7701(i) - 1(d) under the Code. For this
purpose a Home Loan constitutes a "real estate mortgage" if the Home Loan is an
"obligation principally secured by an interest in real property." For this
purpose an "obligation is principally secured by an interest in real property"
if it satisfies either test set out in paragraph (i) or paragraph (ii) below.
(i) The 80-percent test. An obligation is principally secured by
an interest in real property if the fair market value of the interest in real
property securing the obligation was at least equal to 80 percent of the
adjusted issue price of the obligation at the time the obligation was
originated (or, if later, the time the obligation was significantly modified).
For purposes of this paragraph (i), the fair market value of
the real property interest must be first reduced by the
amount of any lien on the real property interest that is
senior to the obligation being tested, and must be further
reduced by a proportionate amount of any lien that is in
parity with the obligation being tested. The adjusted issue
price of an obligation is its issue price plus the amount of
accrued original issue discount, if any, as of the date of
determination.
(ii) Alternative test. An obligation is principally secured by an
interest in real property if substantially all of the proceeds of the
obligation were used to acquire or to improve or protect an interest in real
property that, at the origination date, is the only security for the
obligation. For purposes of this test, loan guarantees made by the United
States or any state (or any political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality
of the United States or of any state), or other third party credit enhancement
are not viewed as additional security for a loan. An obligation is not
considered to be secured by property other than real property solely because
the obligor is personally liable on the obligation. For this purpose only,
substantially all of the proceeds of the obligations," means 66 2/3% or more
of the gross proceeds.
Section 3.04 [RESERVED]
Section 3.05. Purchase and Substitution. (a) It is understood and
agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.03 shall
survive the conveyance of the Home Loans from the Seller to the Depositor and
from the Depositor to the Issuer, the Grant of the Home Loans to the Indenture
Trustee and the delivery of the Securities to the Securityholders. Upon
discovery by the Seller, the Servicer, the Custodian, the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee or any Securityholder of a breach of any of such representations and
warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Home Loans
or the interest of the Securityholders, or which materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Securityholders in the related Home Loan in the
case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Home Loan
(notwithstanding that such representation and warranty may have been made to
the Seller's best knowledge), the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the others. The Seller shall within 60 days of the
earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any breach of a
representation or warranty, or of its discovery or its receipt of notice of a
material defect in a document contained in an Home Loan File as referred to in
the last sentence of Section 2.06(b), promptly cure such breach in all material
respects. If, however, within 60 days after the Seller's discovery of or
receipt of notice of such a breach or defective document, as applicable, such
breach or defective document, as applicable, has not been remedied by the
Seller and such breach or defective document, as applicable, materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Securityholders generally or in the
related Home Loan (the "Defective Home Loan"), the Seller shall on or before
the Determination Date next succeeding the end of such 60 day period either (i)
remove such Defective Home Loan from the Trust Estate (in which case it shall
become a Deleted Home Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute
Home Loans in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Section 3.05 or (ii) purchase such Defective Home Loan at a purchase price
equal to the Purchase Price (as defined below) by depositing such Purchase
Price in the Collection Account. In the event the Seller is notified that any
Mortgaged Property was, as of the Closing Date, not free of damage or not in
good repair, regardless of the Seller's knowledge, the Seller shall substitute
or purchase the related Home Loan in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii),
respectively, above. The Seller shall provide the Servicer, the Indenture
Trustee and the Issuer with a certification of a Responsible Officer on the
Determination Date next succeeding the end of such 60 day period indicating
whether the Seller is purchasing the Defective Home Loan or substituting in
lieu of such Defective Home Loan a Qualified Substitute Home Loan. With respect
to the purchase of a Defective Home Loan pursuant to this Section, the
"Purchase Price" shall be equal to the Principal Balance of such Defective Home
Loan as of the date of purchase, plus all accrued and unpaid interest on such
Defective Home Loan to but not including the Due Date in the Due Period in
which such repurchase occurs computed at the applicable Home Loan Interest
Rate, plus the amount of any unreimbursed Servicing Advances, including any
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances, made by the Servicer with respect to such
Defective Home Loan, which Purchase Price shall be deposited in the Collection
Account (after deducting therefrom any amounts received in respect of such
repurchased Defective Home Loan and being held in the Collection Account for
future payment to the extent such amounts represent recoveries of principal not
yet applied to reduce the related Principal Balance or interest (net of the
Servicing Fee) for the period from and after the Due Date in the Due Period
most recently ended prior to such Determination Date).
Any substitution of Home Loans pursuant to this Section 3.05(a) shall
be accompanied by payment by the Seller of the Substitution Adjustment, if any,
to be deposited in the Collection Account. For purposes of calculating the
Available Collection Amount for any Payment Date, amounts paid by the Seller
pursuant to this Section 3.05 in connection with the repurchase or substitution
of any Defective Home Loan that are on deposit in the Collection Account as of
the Determination Date for such Payment Date shall be deemed to have been paid
during the related Due Period and shall be transferred to the Note Payment
Account to be retained therein or transferred to the Certificate Distribution
Account pursuant to Section 5.01(c).
As to any Home Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified
Substitute Home Loan or Loans, the Seller shall effect such substitution by
delivering (i) to the Issuer a certification executed by a Responsible Officer
of the Seller to the effect that the Substitution Adjustment has been credited
to the Collection Account, and (ii) to the Custodian, the documents
constituting the Home Loan File for such Qualified Substitute Home Loan or
Loans.
(b) The Trust shall have the option, exercisable in its sole
discretion at any time, to deposit monies into the Collection Account pursuant
to Section 5.01(b)(i) and release from the lien of the Indenture any Home Loan
that is delinquent or is in foreclosure or default; provided that any
repurchase pursuant to this paragraph is conducted in the same manner as the
repurchase by the Seller of a Defective Home Loan pursuant to Section 3.05(a).
(c) The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account all payments
received in connection with such Qualified Substitute Home Loan or Loans on or
after the beginning of the Due Period in which such substitution occurs. All
payments received with respect to Qualified Substitute Home Loans on or before
the beginning of the Due Period in which such substitution occurs will be
retained by the Seller. The Issuer will be entitled to all payments received on
the Deleted Home Loan on or before the beginning of the Due Period in which
such substitution occurs, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain
all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Home Loan. The
Seller shall give written notice to the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture
Trustee that such substitution has taken place. Upon such substitution, such
Qualified Substitute Home Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Home Loan or Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in
Section 3.03. On the date of such substitution, the Seller will deposit into
the Collection Account an amount equal to the related Substitution Adjustment,
if any. In addition, on the date of such substitution, (i) the Issuer shall
cause such Qualified Substitute Home Loan to be pledged to the Indenture
Trustee under the Indenture as part of the Trust Estate and (ii) the Indenture
Trustee shall (A) release the applicable Deleted Home Loan from the lien of the
Indenture, (B) cause the Custodian to release to the Seller the Home Loan File
for such Deleted Home Loan and (C) execute, without recourse, representation or
warranty, and deliver such instruments of transfer and release presented to it
by the Servicer as shall be necessary to transfer such Deleted Home Loan to the
Seller and to evidence such release.
(d) It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller
set forth in this Section 3.05 to cure, purchase or substitute for a Defective
Home Loan constitute the sole remedies of the Depositor, the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders hereunder respecting a breach of the
representations and warranties contained in Section 3.03. Any cause of action
against the Seller relating to or arising out of a material defect in a
document contained in an Home Loan File as contemplated by Section 2.06(b) or
arising out of a breach of any representations and warranties made in Section
3.03 shall accrue as to any Home Loan upon (i) discovery of such defect or
breach by any party and notice thereof to the Seller, (ii) failure by the
Seller to cure such defect or breach or purchase or substitute such Defective
Home Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Issuer,
Indenture Trustee or a majority of the Holders of the Outstanding Amount of
Securities for all amounts payable in respect of such Home Loan.
(e) The Issuer shall not have any duty to conduct any affirmative
investigation other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement as to the
occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase or substitution of any
Home Loan pursuant to this Section or the eligibility of any Home Loan for
purposes of this Agreement.
(f) In connection with a repurchase of or substitution for a Home
Loan pursuant to this Section 3.05, the Seller shall amend the Home Loan
Schedule to reflect (i) the removal of the applicable Deleted Home Loan from
the terms of this Agreement and (ii) if applicable, the substitution of the
applicable Qualified Substitute Home Loan. The Seller shall promptly deliver to
the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee a copy of the Home Loan
Schedule as so amended.
Section 3.06 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The
Depositor represents and warrants to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee on
behalf of the Noteholders:
(i) this Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which the
Depositor is a party have been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Depositor and constitute legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in
accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited
by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights in general and except as such
enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity
(whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity);
(ii) immediately prior to the transfer by the Depositor to the
Issuer of each Home Loan, the Depositor had good and equitable title
to each Home Loan (insofar as such title was conveyed to it by the
Seller) subject to no prior lien, claim, participation interest,
mortgage, security interest, pledge, charge or other encumbrance or
other interest of any nature;
(iii) as of the Closing Date, the Depositor has transferred all
right, title and interest in the Home Loans to the Issuer;
(iv) the Depositor has not transferred the Home Loans to the
Issuer with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its

ARTICLE IV
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE HOME LOANS
Section 4.01. Duties of the Servicer. (a) Servicing Standard. The
Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Home
Loans and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all
things in connection with such servicing and administration which the Servicer
may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Servicer, in servicing and administering the Home Loans, shall employ or cause
to be employed procedures (including collection, foreclosure, liquidation and
Foreclosure Property management and liquidation procedures) and exercise the
same care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and
administering loans of the same type as the Home Loans for its own account, all
in accordance with accepted servicing practices of prudent lending institutions
and Servicers of loans of the same type as the Home Loans and giving due
consideration to the Securityholders' reliance on the Servicer (the foregoing
being "Accepted Servicing Practices"). The Servicer has and shall maintain the
facilities, procedures and experienced personnel necessary to comply with the
servicing standard set forth in this subsection (a) and the duties of the
Servicer set forth in this Agreement relating to the servicing and
administration of the Home Loans.
(b) Servicing Advances. In accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices, the Servicer, or any Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer, shall
make all Servicing Advances in connection with the servicing of each Home Loan
hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, neither the
Servicer, nor any Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer, shall have any
obligation to advance its own funds for any delinquent scheduled payments of
principal and interest on any Home Loan or to satisfy or keep current the
indebtedness secured by any Superior Liens on the related Mortgaged Property.
No costs incurred by the Servicer or any Subservicer in respect of Servicing
Advances shall, for the purposes of payments or distributions to
Securityholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Home Loan. The
Servicer shall only make a Servicing Advance with respect to a Home Loan to the
extent that the Servicer determines in its reasonable, good faith judgment that
such Servicing Advance would likely be recoverable, all in accordance with
Accepted Servicing Practices.
(c) Waivers, Modifications and Extensions. Consistent with the terms
of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive, modify or vary any provision of any
Home Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such
provision or in any manner grant indulgence to any Obligor if in the Servicer's
reasonable determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence
is not materially adverse to the interests of the Securityholders; provided,
however, unless the Obligor is in default with respect to the Home Loan, or
such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, the
Servicer may not permit any modification with respect to any Home Loan that
would change the Home Loan Interest Rate, defer (subject to the following
paragraph) or forgive the payment of any principal or interest (unless in
connection with the liquidation of the related Home Loan) or extend the final
maturity date on the Home Loan. The Servicer may grant a waiver or enter into a
subordination agreement with respect to the refinancing of the indebtedness
secured by a Superior Lien on the related Mortgaged Property, provided that the
Obligor is in a better financial or cash flow position as a result of such
refinancing, which may include a reduction in the Obligor's scheduled monthly
payment on the indebtedness secured by such Superior Lien. The Servicer shall
notify the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of any modification, waiver or
amendment of any provision of any Home Loan and the date thereof, and shall
deliver to the Custodian for deposit in the related Home Loan File, an original
counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment
promptly following the execution thereof. Notwithstanding the preceding
provisions of this subsection (c), the Servicer may modify, vary or waive any
Defaulted Home Loan in a manner that in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer
will be likely to maximize the net proceeds realizable from such Defaulted Home
Loan under the circumstances, including, without limitation, the establishment
of a forbearance plan with the related Obligor and the deferment or forgiveness
of any principal or interest payments due or to become due thereon.
The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments
called for under the terms and provisions of each Home Loan and the related
Debt Instrument and Mortgage. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may
in its discretion waive or permit to be waived any late payment charge or
assumption fee or any other fee or charge which the Servicer would be entitled
to retain hereunder as Servicing Compensation and extend the due date for
payments due on a Debt Instrument for a period in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practice, but in no event later than the Maturity Date. In connection
with any partial prepayment, the Servicer may recalculate the amortization
schedule of the related Home Loan to provide for reduced monthly payments over
the remaining term to maturity.
The Servicer may, in a manner consistent with its servicing
practices, permit an Obligor who is selling his principal residence and
purchasing a new residence to substitute the new mortgaged property as
collateral for the related Home Loan. In such circumstances, the Servicer
acknowledges that it intends to, consistent with its Accepted Servicing
Practices, generally require such Obligor to make a partial prepayment in
reduction of the principal balance of the Home Loan to the extent that such
Obligor has received proceeds from the sale of the prior residence that will
not be applied to the purchase of the new residence.
(d) Instruments of Satisfaction or Release. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver on behalf of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, each
Securityholder, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect
to the Home Loans and with respect to the related Mortgaged Properties. If
reasonably required by the Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall
furnish the Servicer or any Subservicer with any powers of attorney and other
documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or any Subservicer to
carry out the servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.
Section 4.02 Liquidation of Home Loans. (a) In the event that any
payment due under any Home Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01(c)
is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Obligor
fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Home Loan and such
failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall, in
accordance with the standard of care specified in Section 4.01(a), take such
action as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Securityholders to
collect or liquidate such Home Loan in default in a manner that in the
reasonable judgment of the Servicer will be likely to maximize the net proceeds
realizable therefrom under the circumstances (including, but without
limitation, the purchase or substitution of such Home Loan pursuant to Section
3.05, or, if no Superior Liens exist on the related Mortgaged Property,
foreclose or otherwise comparably effect ownership in such Mortgaged Property
in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of Securityholders). The
Servicer shall have the power and authority, exercisable in its sole discretion
at any time, to reach a negotiated settlement with a borrower. The Servicer
shall promptly deposit the Net Liquidation Proceeds or Post-Liquidation
Proceeds, as applicable, from the sale of such Liquidated Home Loans into the
Collection Account in accordance with Section 5.01 of this Agreement. The
Servicer shall give the Indenture Trustee notice of the election of remedies
made pursuant to this Section 4.02. The Servicer shall not be required to
satisfy the indebtedness secured by any Superior Liens on the related Mortgaged
Property or to advance funds to keep the indebtedness secured by such Superior
Liens current. In connection with any collection or liquidation activities, the
Servicer shall exercise collection or liquidation procedures in accordance with
Accepted Servicing Practices.
(b) During any Due Period occurring after a Home Loan becomes a
Liquidated Home Loan, the Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account
any proceeds received by it with respect to such Liquidated Home Loan or the
related Foreclosure Property ("Post-Liquidation Proceeds").
(c) After a Home Loan has become a Liquidated Home Loan, the Servicer
shall promptly prepare and forward to the Indenture Trustee and the Holder of
the Residual Interest Certificate a liquidation report detailing the following:
(i) the Net Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Released Mortgaged
Property Proceeds received in respect of such Liquidated Home Loan; (ii)
expenses incurred with respect thereto; (iii) any Net Loan Losses incurred in
connection therewith; and (iv) any Post-Liquidation Proceeds.
Section 4.03 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Property Protection
Expenses. The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Home Loan fire and
hazard insurance naming the Servicer or its designee as loss payee thereunder
providing extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser
of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Home Loan
from time to time and (ii) the combined principal balance owing on such Home
Loan and any mortgage loan senior to such Home Loan. The Servicer shall also
maintain on property acquired upon foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at
least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value from time to time
of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the combined
principal balance owing on such Home Loan and any mortgage loan senior to such
Home Loan. Amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies shall be
deposited in the Collection Account to the extent called for by Section
5.01(b). In cases in which any Mortgaged Property is located in an area
identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as
FLOOD ZONE "A", the hazard insurance to be maintained for the related Home Loan
shall include flood insurance to the extent such flood insurance is available
and the Servicer has determined such insurance to be necessary in accordance
with Accepted Servicing Practices. All such flood insurance shall be in amounts
not less than the lesser of (A) the amount in clause (ii) above and (B) the
maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, as amended. The Servicer shall be under no obligation to require that any
Mortgagor maintain earthquake or other additional insurance and shall be under
no obligation itself to maintain any such additional insurance on property
acquired in respect of a Home Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws
and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance.
Section 4.04. Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy. In
the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy
consistent with prudent industry standards insuring against fire and hazards of
extended coverage on all of the Home Loans, then, to the extent such policy
names the Servicer or its designee as loss payee and provides coverage in an
amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal balance on the Home Loans
without coinsurance, and otherwise complies with the requirements of Section
4.05, the Servicer shall be deemed conclusively to have satisfied its
obligations with respect to fire and hazard insurance coverage under Section
4.05, it being understood and agreed that such blanket policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there
shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy
complying with Section 4.05, and there shall have been a loss which would have
been covered by such policy, deposit in the Collection Account the difference,
if any, between the amount that would have been payable under a policy
complying with Section 4.05 and the amount paid under such blanket policy. Upon
the request of the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered
to the Indenture Trustee a certified true copy of such policy which is
maintained as of the Closing Date with Lloyds of London. In connection with its
activities as servicer of the Home Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and
present, on behalf of itself, the Indenture Trustee and Securityholders, claims
under any such policy in a timely fashion in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices.
Section 4.05. Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omission Insurance. The
Servicer shall maintain with a responsible company, and at its own expense, a
blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy in such
amounts as required by, and satisfying any other requirements of, the FNMA and
the FHLMC, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons
acting in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents
or papers relating to the Home Loans ("Servicer Employees"). Any such fidelity
bond and errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Servicer
against losses, including losses resulting from forgery, theft, embezzlement,
fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such Servicer Employees. Such
fidelity bond shall also protect and insure the Servicer against losses in
connection with the release or satisfaction of a Home Loan without having
obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. In the event of
any loss of principal or interest on a Home Loan for which reimbursement is
received from the Servicer's fidelity bond or errors and omissions insurance,
the proceeds from any such insurance will be deposited in the Collection
Account. No provision of this Section 4.05 requiring such fidelity bond and
errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its
duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. Upon the request of the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to
requesting party a certified true copy of such fidelity bond and insurance
policy.
Section 4.06. Title, Management and Disposition of Foreclosure
Property. The deed or certificate of sale in respect of each Foreclosure
Property shall be taken in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of
the Securityholders.
The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each
Foreclosure Property for the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders solely
for the purpose of its prudent and prompt disposition and sale. The Servicer
shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, manage,
conserve, protect and operate the Foreclosure Property in accordance with
Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and
may temporarily lease the same) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer
deems to be in the best interest of the Securityholders. The disposition of
Foreclosure Property shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price, and
upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be in the best
interest of the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders and, as soon as
practicable thereafter, the expenses of such sale shall be paid. The Net
Liquidation Proceeds or Post-Liquidation Proceeds, as applicable, from the
conservation, disposition and sale of the Foreclosure Property shall be
promptly deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account in accordance with
Section 5.01 of this Agreement and the Indenture, which Net Liquidation
Proceeds or Post-Liquidation Proceeds, as applicable, shall equal all cash
amounts received with respect thereto less the amounts retained and withdrawn
by the Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, unpaid
Servicing Fees and any other fees and expenses incurred in connection with such
Foreclosure Property.
Section 4.07 Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Home Loans. The Servicer shall provide to Residual Interest
Certificateholder, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
Securityholders and the supervisory agents and examiners of each of the
foregoing access to the documentation regarding the Home Loans required by
applicable state and federal regulations, such access being afforded without
charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the
offices of the Servicer designated by it.
Section 4.08. Superior Liens. (a) The Administrator may file (or
cause to be filed) of record a request for notice of any action by a lienholder
under a Superior Lien for the protection of the Indenture Trustee's interest,
where permitted by local law and whenever applicable state law does not require
that a junior lienholder be named as a party defendant in foreclosure
proceedings in order to foreclose such junior lienholder's equity of
redemption. (b) Subject to (a) above, if the Servicer is notified that any
lienholder under a Superior Lien has accelerated or intends to accelerate the
obligations secured by such Superior Lien, or has declared or intends to
declare a default under the related mortgage or promissory note secured
thereby, or has filed or intends to file an election to have any Mortgaged
Property sold or foreclosed, the Servicer shall take, on behalf of the Issuer
and the Indenture Trustee, all reasonable actions that are necessary to protect
the interests of the Securityholders, and/or to preserve the security of the
related Home Loan, including making any Servicing Advances that are necessary
to cure the default or reinstate the Superior Lien. Any Servicing Advances by
the Servicer pursuant to its obligations in this Section 4.08 shall comply with
requirements set forth in Section 4.01(b) hereof.
Section 4.09 Subservicing. (a) The Servicer may, with the prior
written consent of the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency, enter into
Subservicing Agreements for any servicing and administration of Home Loans with
any institution which is in compliance with the laws of each state necessary to
enable it to perform its obligations under such Subservicing Agreement and is
an Eligible Servicer; provided, however, such consent shall not be required
with respect to a Subservicer who is an affiliate of the Servicer. The Servicer
shall give prior written notice to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee of the
appointment of any Subservicer, except an affiliate of the Servicer. The
Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in
accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and to
either directly service the related Home Loans or enter into a Subservicing
Agreement with a successor subservicer which qualifies hereunder.
(b) Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions
of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer
and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or
otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and Securityholders for the servicing and
administering of the Home Loans in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such
Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from
the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions
as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Home Loans. For
purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received
payments on Home Loans when the Subservicer has actually received such payments
and, unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to
actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in servicing the Home Loans
include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the
Servicer. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a
Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer, and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
(c) In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Servicer (including by reason of a Servicer Event of Default), the successor
Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and the
Securityholders pursuant to Section 4.10, shall thereupon assume all of the
rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement that
the Servicer may have entered into, unless the successor Servicer elects to
terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with its terms. The
successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Servicer's
interest therein and to have replaced the Servicer as a party to each
Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if the Subservicing Agreements had
been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Servicer shall not thereby
be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Subservicing Agreements.
The Servicer at its expense and without right of reimbursement therefor, shall,
upon request of the successor Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all
documents and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement and the Home
Loans then being serviced. In addition, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver
to the successor Servicer an accounting of amounts collected and held by it at
the time of such transfer. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to effect
the orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the
assuming party.
(d) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for
the benefit of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders, shall
enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under the related Subservicing
Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be
in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the
Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner
of the related Home Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement
at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general
recovery resulting from such enforcement to the extent, if any, that such
recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Home Loan or (ii)
from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys fees against the party
against whom such enforcement is directed.
(e) Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other
transactions or services relating to the Home Loans involving a Subservicer in
its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the
Subservicer and the Servicer alone and none of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee or the Securityholders shall be deemed parties thereto or shall have
any claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the
Subservicer in its capacity as such except as set forth in Section 4.09(c)
above.
Section 4.10. Successor Servicers. In the event that the Servicer is
terminated pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof, or resigns pursuant to Section 9.04
hereof or otherwise becomes unable to perform its obligations under this
Agreement, the Indenture Trustee will become the successor Servicer or will
appoint a successor Servicer in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.02
hereof; provided that any successor Servicer, including the Indenture Trustee,
shall satisfy the requirements of an Eligible Servicer and shall be approved by
each Rating Agency.

all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all

period, not to exceed 30 calendar days, as to which each Rating Agency may
consent) (i) establish a new Trust Account as an Eligible Account, (ii)
terminate the ineligible Trust Account, and (iii) transfer any cash and
investments from such ineligible Trust Account to such new Trust Account. With
respect to the Trust Accounts, the Indenture Trustee agrees, by its acceptance

custody and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
Securityholders and the Issuer, as the case may be, and the Indenture Trustee
shall have sole signature and withdrawal authority with respect thereto.
In addition to this Agreement, the Certificate Distribution Account
established hereunder also shall be subject to and maintained in accordance
with this Agreement and the Trust Agreement. The Owner Trustee or Co-Owner
Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest for the benefit of the
Certificateholders in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Certificate
Distribution Account and in all proceeds thereof (including all income thereon)
and all such funds, investments, proceeds and income shall be part of the Trust
Account Property. If, at any time, the Certificate Distribution Account ceases
to be an Eligible Account, the Issuer (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall
within 10 Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed 30 calendar days,
as to which each Rating Agency may consent) (i) establish a new Certificate
Distribution Account as an Eligible Account, (ii) terminate the ineligible
Certificate Distribution Account, and (iii) transfer any cash and investments
from such ineligible Certificate Distribution Account to such new Certificate
Distribution Account. The Owner Trustee and Co-Owner Trustee agree, by their
acceptance hereof, that such Certificate Distribution Account shall be subject
to the sole and exclusive custody and control of the Owner Trustee and Co-Owner
Trustee for the benefit of the Issuer and the parties entitled to distributions
therefrom, including without limitation, the Certificateholders, and the Owner
Trustee and the Co-Owner Trustee shall have sole signature and withdrawal
authority with respect to the Certificate Distribution Account.
(b) (1) Investment of Funds. So long as no Servicer Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the funds held in any Trust Account or
in the Certificate Distribution Account may be invested (to the extent
practicable and consistent with any requirements of the Code) in Permitted
Investments, as directed by the Servicer in the case of the Collection Account
and as directed by the Issuer in the case of the Note Payment Account and the
Certificate Distribution Account, in each case in writing or by telephone or
facsimile transmission confirmed in writing. In any case, funds in any Trust
Account or in the Certificate Distribution Account must be available for
withdrawal without penalty, and any Permitted Investments must mature or
otherwise be available for withdrawal, not later than two (2) Business Days
(except with respect to the Note Payment Account and Certificate Distribution
Account, which shall be invested on a one (1) Business Day basis) immediately
preceding the Payment Date next following the date of such investment and shall
not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity subject to Section 5.06(b)(2)
below. All interest and any other investment earnings on amounts or investments
held in any Trust Account or in the Certificate Distribution Account shall be
deposited into such account immediately upon receipt. All Permitted Investments
in which funds in the Note Payment Account are invested must be held by or
registered in the name of "U.S. Bank National Association, as Indenture
Trustee, in trust for the United National Home Loan Owner Trust 1999-1 Asset
Backed Securities, Series 1999-1". While the Co-Owner Trustee holds the
Certificate Distribution Account, all Permitted Investments in which funds in
the Certificate Distribution Account are invested shall be held by or
registered in the name of "U.S. Bank National Association, as Co-Owner Trustee,
in trust for the United National Home Loan Owner Trust 1999-1 Asset Backed
Securities, Series 1999-1".
(b)(2) Insufficiency and Losses in Trust Accounts. If any amounts are
needed for disbursement from the Note Payment Account or the Certificate
Distribution Account and sufficient uninvested funds are not available to make
such disbursement, the Indenture Trustee, or the Owner Trustee or Co-Owner
Trustee in the case of the Certificate Distribution Account, shall cause to be
sold or otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in
such account to make up such insufficiency. The Indenture Trustee, or Owner
Trustee or Co-Owner Trustee in the case of the Certificate Distribution
Account, shall not be liable for any investment loss or other charge resulting
therefrom, unless such loss or charge is caused by the failure of the Indenture
Trustee or Owner Trustee or Co-Owner Trustee, respectively, to perform in
accordance with this Section 5.06.
If any losses are realized in connection with any investment in any
Trust Account or in the Certificate Distribution Account pursuant to this
Agreement and the Indenture, then the Servicer, with respect to the Collection
Account and the Issuer, with respect to the Note Payment Account and the
Certificate Distribution Account, shall deposit the amount of such losses (to
the extent not offset by income from other investments in such account) in such
account immediately upon the realization of such loss. All interest and any
other investment earnings on amounts held in any Trust Account or in the
Certificate Distribution Account shall be taxed to the Issuer and for federal
and state income tax purposes the Issuer shall be deemed to be the owner of
each Trust Account and of the Certificate Distribution Account.
(c) On each Payment Date the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from
the Note Payment Account any interest earned on or investment income earned
with respect to funds in the Note Payment Account (net of any losses on such
investments pursuant to Section 5.06(b)(2)) and pay such amounts to the
Co-Owner Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account.
(d) Subject to Section 6.01 of the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee
shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Note
Payment Account held by the Indenture Trustee resulting from any investment
loss on any Permitted Investment included therein (except to the extent that
the Indenture Trustee, with respect to such Permitted Investment, is the
obligor and has defaulted thereon).
(e) The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee hereby appoint U.S. Bank
National Association as Securities Intermediary with respect to the Trust
Accounts and the Certificate Distribution Account. The Issuer has, pursuant to
the Indenture, granted to the Indenture Trustee, as collateral agent for the
benefit of the Securityholders, a security interest to secure all amounts due
Noteholders hereunder in and to the Trust Accounts and the Security
Entitlements to all Financial Assets credited to the Trust Accounts, and the

securities, investments, Financial Assets, investment property and other
property from time to time deposited in or credited to such accounts and all

continue to be held by the Securities Intermediary for the benefit of the
Indenture Trustee, as collateral agent, for the benefit of the Securityholders,
and amounts held from time to time in the Certificate Distribution Account will
continue to be held by the Securities Intermediary for the benefit of the
Issuer, as collateral agent, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Upon
the termination of the Trust or the discharge of the Indenture, the Indenture
Trustee shall inform the Securities Intermediary of such termination. By
acceptance of their Securities or interests therein, the Securityholders shall
be deemed to have appointed U.S. Bank National Association as Securities
Intermediary. U.S. Bank National Association hereby accepts such appointment as
Securities Intermediary.
(1) With respect to the Trust Account Property credited to the
Trust Accounts and the Certificate Distribution Account, the
Securities Intermediary agrees that:

to the exclusive custody and control of the Securities
Intermediary, and the Securities Intermediary shall have sole

(accompanied by any required endorsements) to, or credited to an
account in the name of, the Securities Intermediary or other
eligible institution maintaining any Trust Account or the
Certificate Distribution Account in accordance with the
Securities Intermediary's customary procedures such that the
Securities Intermediary or such other institution establishes a
Security Entitlement in favor of the Indenture Trustee (or the
Issuer, in the case of the Certificate Distribution Account)
with respect thereto over which the Securities Intermediary or
such other institution has Control;
(2) The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms that (A) each
Trust Account and the Certificate Distribution Account is an account
to which Financial Assets are or may be credited, and the Securities
Intermediary shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, treat the
Indenture Trustee, as collateral agent, as entitled to exercise the
rights that comprise any Financial Asset credited to any Trust
Account, and the Issuer, as collateral agent, as entitled to exercise

Distribution Account shall be treated as a Financial Asset;
(4) If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive
any order from the Indenture Trustee directing transfer or redemption
of any Financial Asset relating to any Trust Account, the Securities
Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further
consent by the Depositor, the Issuer or any other Person. If at any
time the Indenture Trustee notifies the Securities Intermediary in
writing that the Trust has been terminated or the Indenture discharged
in accordance herewith and with the Trust Agreement or the Indenture,
as applicable, and the security interest granted pursuant to the
Indenture has been released, then thereafter if the Securities

without further consent by the Issuer or any other Person;
(5) In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or
subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a
security interest in any Trust Account or the Certificate Distribution
Account or any Financial Asset credited thereto, the Securities
Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be
subordinate to the security interest of the Indenture Trustee, in the
case of the Trust Accounts, or of the Issuer, in the case of the
Certificate Distribution Account. The Financial Assets credited to the
Trust Accounts or the Certificate Distribution Account will not be
subject to deduction, set-off, banker's lien, or any other right in
favor of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, in the case of
the Trust Accounts, or the Issuer, in the case of the Certificate
Distribution Account (except that the Securities Intermediary may set
off (i) all amounts due to it in respect of its customary fees and
expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Trust
Accounts and the Certificate Distribution Account, and (ii) the face
amount of any checks which have been credited to any Trust Account or
the Certificate Distribution Account but are subsequently returned
unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds);
(6) There are no other agreements entered into between the
Securities Intermediary in such capacity and the Depositor or the
Issuer with respect to any Trust Account, or the Depositor with
respect to the Certificate Distribution Account. In the event of any
conflict between this Agreement (or any provision of this Agreement)
and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the
terms of this Agreement shall prevail;
(7) The rights and powers granted under the Indenture and
herein to (x) the Indenture Trustee have been granted in order to
perfect its security interest in the Trust Accounts and the Security
Entitlements to the Financial Assets credited thereto, and (y) the
Issuer have been granted in order to perfect its security interest in
the Certificate Distribution Account and the Security Entitlements to
the Financial Assets credited thereto, and are powers coupled with an
interest and will neither be affected by the bankruptcy of the
Depositor (or the Issuer, in the case of the Trust Accounts) nor by
the lapse of time. The obligations of the Securities Intermediary
hereunder shall continue in effect until the security interest of the
Indenture Trustee in the Trust Accounts or of the Issuer in the
Certificate Distribution Account, and in such Security Entitlements,
has been terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the
Indenture Trustee or the Issuer, as applicable, has notified the
Securities Intermediary of such termination in writing; and
(8) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the
Depositor and the Issuer agree that the Trust Accounts and the
Certificate Distribution Account will be established only with the
Securities Intermediary or another institution meeting the
requirements of this Section, which by acceptance of its appointment

ARTICLE VII
GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section 7.01 Assumption Agreements. When a Mortgaged Property has
been or is about to be conveyed by the Obligor, the Servicer shall, to the
extent it has knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance, exercise
its rights to accelerate the maturity of the related Home Loan under any
"due-on-sale" clause contained in the related Mortgage or Debt Instrument;
provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any such right if the
"due-on-sale" clause, in the reasonable belief of the Servicer, is not
enforceable under applicable law. In such event or in the event the related
Mortgage and Debt Instrument do not contain a "due-on-sale" clause, the
Servicer shall enter into an assumption and modification agreement with the
person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to
which such person becomes liable under the Debt Instrument and, unless
prohibited by applicable law or the Home Loan documents, the Obligor remains
liable thereon. The Servicer is also authorized to enter into a substitution of
liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the original Obligor is
released from liability and such person is substituted as Obligor and becomes
liable under the Debt Instrument. The Servicer shall notify the Custodian that
any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by promptly
forwarding to the Custodian the original of such substitution or assumption
agreement, which original shall be added by the Custodian to the related Home
Loan File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Home Loan
File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a
part thereof. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement
entered into pursuant to this Section 7.01, the Servicer shall not change the
Home Loan Interest Rate or the Monthly Payment, defer or forgive the payment of
principal or interest, reduce the outstanding principal amount or extend the
final maturity date on such Home Loan. Any fee collected by the Servicer for
consenting to any such conveyance or entering into an assumption or
substitution agreement shall be retained by or paid to the Servicer as
additional Servicing Compensation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of
this Agreement, the 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 Home Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be
restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
Section 7.02 Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Home Loan
Files. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.01 and 4.02, the Servicer shall
not grant a satisfaction or release of a Mortgage without having obtained
payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage or otherwise
prejudice any right the Securityholders may have under the mortgage
instruments. The Servicer shall maintain the fidelity bond and errors and
omissions insurance as provided for in Section 4.05 insuring the Servicer
against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Home Loan not satisfied in
accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
Upon the payment in full of any Home Loan, or the receipt by the
Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Custodian
by a Request for Release attached hereto as Exhibit C (which Request for
Release 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 Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.01(b) have been or will be so
deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Home
Loan File. Upon receipt of such certification and request and in accordance
with Section 2.09 of the Indenture, the Custodian shall promptly release the
related Home Loan File to the Servicer. Expenses incurred in connection with
any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be payable only
from and to the extent of Servicing Compensation and shall not be chargeable to
the Collection Account, the Note Payment Account, or the Certificate
Distribution Account. Upon receipt by the Custodian of the certification of a
Servicing Officer with respect to the release of the Home Loan File for any
Home Loan or any documents included therein, the Custodian shall release to the
Servicer such Home Loan File and shall deliver such instruments of transfer
presented to it by the Servicer as shall be necessary or appropriate for the
release of such Home Loan File in accordance with such certification of the
Servicing Officer. The release to the Servicer of an Home Loan File pursuant to
such certification shall not require or be subject to the prior approval of the
Indenture Trustee in the case of a release in connection with the following:
(1) the satisfaction or release of a Mortgage upon the payment in full of the
Home Loan or upon such Home Loan becoming a Liquidated Home Loan; (2) a Home
Loan in default for which the Servicer is or will be pursuing foreclosure or
another method of liquidation pursuant to Section 4.02; or (3) the correction
of documentation in the Home Loan File for errors and ambiguities, provided
that such corrections shall be performed and returned to the Custodian in a
prompt manner. In the case of a release of the related Home Loan File to the
Servicer in connection with a substitution or repurchase of any Home Loan
pursuant to Section 3.05 or the release of a Home Loan from the lien of the
Indenture pursuant to Section 11.02 or a release for other servicing reasons,
such release of the Home Loan File by the Custodian shall be subject to the
prior approval of the Indenture Trustee.
The Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicer any
court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents 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 Obligor on the Debt
Instrument or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any
other remedies or rights provided by the Debt Instrument or Mortgage or
otherwise available at law or in equity. Together with such documents or
pleadings, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee a certificate of
a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by
the Indenture Trustee and certifying as to the reason such documents or
pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Indenture 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. The Indenture Trustee shall, upon receipt of a
written request from a Servicing Officer, execute any document provided to the
Indenture Trustee by the Servicer or take any other action requested in such
request that is, in the opinion of the Servicer as evidenced by such request,
required by any state or other jurisdiction to discharge the lien of a Mortgage
upon the satisfaction thereof and the Indenture Trustee will sign and post, but
will not guarantee receipt of, any such documents to the Servicer, or such
other party as the Servicer may direct, within five Business Days, or more
promptly if needed, of the Indenture Trustee's receipt of such certificate or
documents. Such certificate or documents shall establish to the Indenture
Trustee's satisfaction that the related Home Loan has been paid in full by or
on behalf of the Obligor and that such payment has been deposited in the
Collection Account.
Subject to any other applicable terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Indenture Trustee and Servicer shall be entitled to approve an
assignment in lieu of satisfaction with respect to any Home Loan in accordance
with Accepted Servicing Practices. Upon approval of an assignment in lieu of
satisfaction with respect to any Home Loan, the Servicer shall receive cash in
an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance of and accrued interest on such
Home Loan and the Servicer shall treat such amount as a Principal Prepayment
with respect to such Home Loan for all purposes hereof.
Section 7.03 Servicing Compensation. As compensation for its services
hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive from the Collection
Account, the Servicing Fee out of which the Servicer shall pay any servicing
fees owed or payable to any Subservicer. Additional servicing compensation in
the form of assumption and other administrative fees, amounts remitted pursuant

consent of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer) the defense of any such claim

any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the
Servicer, shall be required to be an Eligible Servicer and shall be the
successor of the Servicer, as applicable hereunder, without the execution or

in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Servicer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of duties of the Servicer or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties of the Servicer hereunder. The Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely on any document
of any kind which it in good faith reasonably believes to be genuine and to
have been adopted or signed by the proper authorities respecting any matters
arising hereunder. Subject to the terms of Section 9.01 herein, the Servicer

the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer

the Servicer) to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and
the Depositor, which opinion of counsel shall be in form and substance
acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer. No such resignation shall

assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in accordance
with Section 10.02.
(b) The Servicer shall not assign this Agreement or any of its
obligations, rights and duties hereunder without the prior written consent of

services not less than $25,000,000 in aggregate outstanding principal amount of
loans similar in type to the Home Loans, (B) has a net worth of not less than
$2,500,000, (C) has a blanket fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance
coverage satisfying the requirements set forth in Section 4.05 and (D) will not

such assignment to be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn, as evidenced by a
letter from each Rating Agency to such effect. Any such assignment to a
successor Servicer (other than the Indenture Trustee) shall be effective only
upon delivery to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer of an agreement, duly
executed by the Servicer and such successor Servicer in a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, in which such successor
Servicer shall assume the due and punctual performance of each covenant and
condition to be performed or observed by the Servicer hereunder.

contractor and not of a joint venturer, agent or partner of the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee.

direction of (i) the Majority Noteholders or (ii) the Issuer with the consent
of the Majority Noteholders, shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer and
each Rating Agency, in addition to whatever rights the Indenture Trustee may

this Agreement and in and to the Home Loans and the proceeds thereof, as
Servicer under this Agreement whether with respect to the Home Loans or

necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination,
including, but not limited to, the transfer and endorsement or assignment of

responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all amounts
which shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Collection Account
or thereafter received with respect to the Home Loans.
Section 10.02 Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On
and after the date the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to
Section 10.01, or the Indenture Trustee receives the resignation of the
Servicer evidenced by an opinion of counsel or accompanied by the consents
required by Section 9.04, or the Servicer is removed as Servicer pursuant to
this Article X, then the Indenture Trustee shall appoint a successor Servicer,
which is an Eligible Servicer, and acceptable to the Rating Agencies to be the
successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under
this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall
be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto
placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however,
that the successor Servicer shall not be liable for any actions of any Servicer
prior to it; provided further, however, that if a successor Servicer cannot be
retained in a timely manner, the Indenture Trustee shall act as successor
Servicer and shall assume the responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder. In
the event that the Indenture Trustee assumed the responsibilities of Servicer
pursuant to this Section 10.02, the Indenture Trustee will become licensed,
qualified and in good standing in each Mortgaged Property State the laws of

licensed, qualified and in good standing in any such Mortgaged Property State.
The successor Servicer shall be obligated to make Servicing Advances hereunder.
As compensation therefor, the successor Servicer appointed pursuant to this
Section 10.02, shall be entitled to all Servicing Compensation as provided in
this Agreement. The Servicer shall not be entitled to any termination fee if it
is terminated pursuant to Section 10.01, but shall be entitled to any accrued

by the prior Servicer after its removal or resignation shall be endorsed by it
to the Indenture Trustee and remitted directly to the Indenture Trustee or, at
the direction of the Indenture Trustee, to the successor Servicer.

pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.
The compensation of any successor Servicer (including, without
limitation, the Indenture Trustee) so appointed shall be no greater than the
Servicing Fee, together with other Servicing Compensation provided for herein.
In the event the Indenture Trustee is required to solicit bids to appoint a
successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall solicit, by public
announcement, bids from housing and home finance institutions, banks and
mortgage servicing institutions meeting the qualifications set forth in Section
9.04(b) above. Such public announcement shall specify that the successor
Servicer shall be entitled up to the full amount of the Servicing Fee and
Servicing Compensation provided for herein. Within thirty days after any such
public announcement, the Indenture Trustee shall negotiate and effect the sale,
transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder
to the qualified party submitting the highest qualifying bid. The Indenture
Trustee shall deduct from any sum received by the Indenture Trustee from the
successor Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all costs
and expenses of any public announcement and of any sale, transfer and
assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder and the
amount of any unreimbursed Servicing Advances made by the Indenture Trustee.
After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Indenture
Trustee to the Servicer at the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to
the successor Servicer.

any such successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this

successor Servicer. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee
and any successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the Servicer's
servicing responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide the
Indenture Trustee or such successor Servicer, as applicable, all documents and
records reasonably requested by the applicable party to enable it to assume the
Servicer's functions hereunder and shall promptly also transfer to the
Indenture Trustee or such successor Servicer, as applicable, all amounts which
then have been or should have been deposited in the Collection Account by the
Servicer or which are thereafter received with respect to the Home Loans.
Neither the Indenture Trustee nor any other successor Servicer shall be held
liable by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any payment
hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the prior
Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to
it, or (ii) restrictions relating to the prior Servicer imposed by any
regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the prior Servicer. Upon an
appointment of a successor Servicer hereunder, written notice of such
appointment shall be provided by the Indenture Trustee to each Securityholder,
the Issuer and the Depositor.
Pending appointment of a successor Servicer hereunder, the Indenture
Trustee shall act as Servicer hereunder as hereinabove provided. In connection
with such appointment and assumption, the Indenture Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor Servicer as it and such
successor Servicer shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation
shall be in excess of the Servicing Compensation in the form of assumption
fees, late payment charges or otherwise as provided in this Agreement.
Section 10.03 Waiver of Defaults. The Majority Securityholders may,
on behalf of all Securityholders, waive any events permitting removal of the
Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article X, provided, however, that the
Majority Securityholders may not waive a default in making a required payment
or distribution on a Security without the consent of the related
Securityholder. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except
to the extent expressly so waived.
Section 10.04. Accounting Upon Termination of Servicer. Upon
termination of the Servicer under this Article X, the Servicer shall, at its
own expense:
(a) deliver to its successor or, if none shall yet have been
appointed, to the Indenture Trustee, the funds in any Collection Account;
(b) deliver to its successor or, if none shall yet have been
appointed, to the Indenture Trustee, all of the Servicer's files, documents and
statements relating to the Home Loans held by it hereunder and a Home Loan
portfolio computer tape;
(c) deliver to its successor or, if none shall yet have been
appointed, to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer a full accounting of all
funds, including a statement showing the Monthly Payments collected by it and a
statement of monies held in trust by it for payments or charges with respect to
the Home Loans; and
(d) execute and deliver such instruments and perform all acts
reasonably requested in order to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of
servicing of the Home Loans to its successor and to more fully and definitively
vest in such successor all rights, powers, duties, responsibilities,
obligations and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement.
