WITNESSETH THAT
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
For federal income tax purposes, the Trust Fund (exclusive of the
Prefunding Account, the Capitalized Interest Account, the Basis Risk Reserve
Fund, and the Interest Rate Cap Reserve Account) will consist of three REMICs:
REMIC I, REMIC II, and REMIC III.
REMIC I:
The REMIC I (which will also be referred to as the "Subsidiary REMIC") will
consist of all of the assets constituting the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of the
Prefunding Account, the Capitalized Interest Account, the Basis Risk Reserve
Fund, and the Interest Rate Cap Account) and will be evidenced by the REMIC I
regular interests which will be uncertificated and will represent the "regular
interests" in the REMIC I (the "Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests") and REMIC I
residual interest as the single "residual interest" in the REMIC I (the
"Subsidiary REMIC Residual Interest"). The Trustee will hold the Subsidiary
REMIC Regular Interests on behalf of the REMIC II.
The following table irrevocably sets forth the class designation, the
Pass-Through Rate, and the original class principal balance for each of the
Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests. None of the Subsidiary REMIC Regular
Interests will be certificated.
Class Original Class Certificate Pass-Through Rate

------------------------------------------------------------------------
T1-A $137,575,000.00(1) Net Wac Rate
T1-B $(2) Net Wac Rate
T1-R N/A N/A
T1-P 25 Net Wac Rate
(1) The Class T1-A Regular Interest will represent 36 REMIC regular interests.
Each Class T1-A Regular Interest will have a principal balance equal to the
balance set forth in the definition of Class A-IO Notional Amount, and a
rate equal to the Net WAC Rate. The Class T1-A Regular Interests will have
an aggregate principal balance equal to $137,575,000.00.
1
(2) An amount equal to the difference between the original principal balance of
all REMIC II Regular Interests less the original principal balance of the
Class T1-A Regular Interests and Class T1-P Regular Interests.
All payments of principal generated by the Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated first to the Class T1-B Regular Interest (until reduced to zero) and
then to the Class T1-A1 Regular Interests (until reduced to zero). Subsequent
principal payments will be allocated sequentially to the Class T1-A Regular
Interests with the lowest denomination (until reduced to zero). Finally,
payments of principal will be allocated to the Class T1-P Regular Interest.
Realized losses on each Distribution Date shall be allocated first to the Class
T1-B Regular Interest (until reduced to zero) and then to the Class T1-A1
Regular Interests (until reduced to zero). Subsequent losses will be allocated
sequentially to the Class T1-A Regular Interests with the lowest denomination
(until reduced to zero). Finally, realized losses will be allocated to the Class
T1-P Regular Interest.
REMIC II:
The REMIC II (which will also be referred to as the "Intermediate REMIC")
will consist of all of the assets constituting the Subsidiary REMIC Regular
Interests and will be evidenced by the REMIC II regular interests which will be
uncertificated and will represent the "regular interests" in the REMIC II (the
"Intermediate REMIC Regular Interests") and Intermediate REMIC residual
interests as the single "residual interest" in the REMIC II (the "Intermediate
REMIC Residual Interest"). The Trustee will hold the Intermediate REMIC Regular
Interests on behalf of the REMIC III.
The following table irrevocably sets forth the class designation, the
Pass-Through Rate, the initial principal balance and the Corresponding Class of
Master REMIC Interests for each of the Intermediate REMIC Regular Interests.
None of the Intermediate REMIC Regular Interests will be certificated.

(1) The Class MT-A-IO Interest will represent 36 separate REMIC Regular
Interests, each with a notional balance and pass-through rate equal to the
corresponding REMIC Regular Interests issued out of the Master REMIC.
2
On each Distribution Date, 50% of the increase in the Overcollateralization
Amount will be payable as a reduction of the principal balances of the MT-A
REMIC Interest, MT-M-1 REMIC Interest, MT-M-2 REMIC Interest, and MT-B REMIC
Interest (together, the "Intermediate REMIC Accretion Directed Classes) (to each
such class in an amount equal to 1/2 of the interest paid in reduction of the
principal balance of the Corresponding Class of Master REMIC Interest) to each
such Class in an amount equal to 1/2 of the interest paid in reduction of the
principal balance of the Corresponding Class of Master REMIC Interest and will
be accrued and added to the principal balance of the M-Accrual REMIC Interest
(the "Intermediate REMIC Accrual Class). On each Distribution Date, the increase
in the principal balance of the Intermediate REMIC Accrual Class may not exceed
interest accruals for such Distribution Date for the Intermediate REMIC Accrual
Class. In the event that: (i) 50% of the increase in the Overcollateralization
Amount exceeds (ii) interest accruals on the Intermediate REMIC Accrual Class
for such Distribution Date, the excess for such Distribution Date (accumulated
with all such excesses for all prior Distribution Dates) will be added to any
increase in the Overcollateralization Amount for purposes of determining the
amount of interest accrual on the Intermediate REMIC Accrual Class payable as
principal on the Intermediate REMIC Accretion Directed Classes on the next
Distribution Date pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph. All payments
of scheduled principal and prepayments of principal generated by the Mortgage
Loans shall be allocated 50% to the Intermediate REMIC Accrual Class, and 50% to
the Intermediate REMIC Accretion Directed Classes to each such Class in an
amount equal to 1/2 of the interest paid in reduction of the principal balance
of the Corresponding Class of Master REMIC Interest, until paid in full of the
interest paid in reduction of the principal balance of the Corresponding Class
of Master REMIC Interest). Notwithstanding the above, principal payments
allocated to the Class X Certificates that result in the reduction in the
Overcollateralization Amount shall be allocated to the Intermediate REMIC
Accrual Class (until paid in full). Realized losses shall be applied so that
after all distributions have been made on each Distribution Date (i) the
principal balances of each of the Intermediate REMIC Accretion Directed Classes
is equal to 50% of the principal balance of their Corresponding Class, and (ii)
the Intermediate REMIC Accrual Class is equal to 50% of the aggregate principal
balance of the Mortgage Pool plus 50% of the Overcollateralization Amount.

holds or will hold or will cause its agent to hold such other assets as are
included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that it or the
Custodian will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of Texas,
State of California or State of Minnesota, as directed by the Seller, unless
otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies.
The Trustee agrees to deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor and the
Servicer an Initial Certification from the Custodian in the form annexed hereto
as Exhibit G. Based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents
identified in such Initial Certification, the Custodian acknowledges that such

Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said
documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same
are genuine,
41
enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have
actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than
what they purport to be on their face.
Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to
the Depositor and the Seller and the Servicer a Final Certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit H, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If, in the course of such review, the Trustee is notified by the Custodian
that any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01, the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to list such
as an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however, that the Trustee
shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient
to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as
noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any
assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of
and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment
relates.
The Seller shall promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from
the date it is so notified of such defect and, if the Seller does not correct or
cure such defect within such period, the Seller shall either (i) substitute for
the related Mortgage Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, which
substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions
set forth in Section 2.03, or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee
within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing
at the Repurchase Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that if the
cure, substitution or repurchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision
is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate
recording office, then the Seller shall be given 720 days from the Closing Date
to cure such defect or substitute for, or repurchase such Mortgage Loan; and
further provided, that the Seller shall have no liability for recording any
Assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee or for the Trustee's failure to
record such Assignment of Mortgage, and the Seller shall not be obligated to
repurchase or cure any Mortgage Loan as to which such Assignment of Mortgage is
not recorded. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to each Rating Agency
within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage (a) which has not
been returned by the appropriate recording office or (b) as to which there is a
dispute as to location or status of such Mortgage. Such notice shall be
delivered every 90 days thereafter until the related Mortgage is returned to the
Trustee or Custodian. Any such substitution effected more than 90 days after the
Closing Date shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the
Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof and any substitution shall
not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee, or the
Custodian on its behalf, of a Request for Release substantially in the form of
Exhibit M and the Mortgage File for any such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan.
The Repurchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Seller
in the applicable Collection Account on or prior to the Business Day immediately
preceding such Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase
and, upon receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in the
form of Exhibit M hereto, the Trustee, or the Custodian on its behalf, shall
release the related Mortgage File to the Seller and shall execute and deliver at
such entity's request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by
such entity, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in
such entity, or a designee, the Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto.
42
The Trustee agrees to cause the Custodian to execute and deliver on the
Subsequent Transfer Date to the Depositor and the Servicer a Subsequent
Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G. Based on its review and
examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Subsequent
Certification, the Custodian shall acknowledge that such documents appear
regular on their face and relate to such Subsequent Mortgage Loan. The Trustee
shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said
documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same
are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they
have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other
than what they purport to be on their face.
Not later than 90 days after the end of the Prefunding Period, the Trustee
shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer a Final
Certification with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit H with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If, in the course of such review of the Mortgage Files relating to the
Subsequent Mortgage Loans, the Custodian finds any document constituting a part
of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the
Trustee shall cause the Custodian to list such as an exception in the Final
Certification; provided, however that the Trustee shall not make any
determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all
right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee
thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable
form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee
thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The Seller shall
cure any such defect or repurchase or substitute for any such Mortgage Loan in
accordance with Section 2.02(a).
(b) It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure,
substitute for or to repurchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such
defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder against
the Seller.
(c) All of the Mortgage Files are being held pursuant to the Custodial
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
parties hereto acknowledge that the functions of the Trustee with respect to the
custody, acceptance, inspection and release of the Mortgage Files pursuant to
Sections 2.01, 2.02, 2.05, 3.12 shall be performed by the Custodian. At the
expense of DLJMC, the Trustee, from time to time, shall instruct or cause the
instruction of the Custodian to deliver the Mortgage Files to the Trustee for
completion and recordation of the Assignments of Mortgage.
SECTION 2.03 Representations and Warranties of the Seller and Servicer.
(a) Each of DLJMC, Vesta and Ocwen, in their capacities as Seller or
Servicer, hereby makes on behalf of themselves the representations and
warranties set forth in Schedule IIA, Schedule IIB and Schedule IIC hereto,
respectively, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor and
the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the
applicable Cut-off Date.
43
(b) DLJMC, in its capacity as Seller, hereby makes the representations and
warranties set forth in Schedule IB to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the
Closing Date, or the date specified therein, with respect to the Mortgage Loans
identified on Schedule IB hereto and, with respect to the Mortgage Loans
identified on Schedule IA hereto, the Seller hereby makes the representations
and warranties set forth therein as of July 13, 2001.
(c) The Depositor hereby assigns the representations and warranties set
forth in Schedule IIIA, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the
Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date
or such other date as may be specified.
(d) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) that materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other
parties. The Seller hereby covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of its
discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a breach of any
representation or warranty made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(b) which
materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the
interests of the Certificateholders, it shall cure such breach in all material
respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such 90-day period
expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such
Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") from the Trust Fund and substitute in
its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage
Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Repurchase Price in the manner
set forth below; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to (i)
above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion
of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any such substitution
pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to
the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit M and
the Mortgage File for any such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller
shall promptly reimburse the related Servicer and the Trustee for any actual
out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the related Servicer or the
Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. With respect to
any representation and warranty described in this Section which are made to the
best of the Seller's knowledge, if it is discovered by either the Depositor, the
Seller or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty is
inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the
related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein,
notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of
such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the
applicable representation or warranty.
With respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller
shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders the
Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such
other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01(b), with the
Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01.
Scheduled Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in
the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be
retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to
Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted Mortgage
Loan for such month and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to retain all
amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall
amend the related Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the
Certificateholders to reflect the
44
removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Seller shall deliver the amended
Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Depositor. Upon such substitution,
the Qualified Substitute Mortgage 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 Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section
2.03(b) with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the
deposit to the applicable Collection Account of the amount required to be
deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the
following paragraph, the Trustee shall or shall cause the Custodian to release
the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders relating to
such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and shall execute and deliver at the
Seller's direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the
Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in
the Seller, or its designee, the Trustee's interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan
substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the related
Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal
balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of
substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such
Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the scheduled principal portion of
the monthly payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such
shortage (the "Substitution Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to the
aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage
Loans shall be deposited in the applicable Collection Account by the Seller on
or before the Business Day immediately preceding the related Servicer Remittance
Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which the related
Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.
In the event that the Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the
Repurchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the related Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.06 on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the
related Servicer Remittance Date in the month following the month during which
the Seller became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage
Loan and upon such deposit of the Repurchase Price and receipt of a Request for
Release in the form of Exhibit M hereto, the Trustee shall release or cause the
Custodian to release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at
such Person's direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by
such Person, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer
title from the Trustee. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under
this Agreement of any Person to cure, repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan
as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole
remedy against such Persons respecting such breach available to
Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on their behalf.
The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall
survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee, or to the
Custodian on the Trustee's behalf, for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
45
SECTION 2.04 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the
Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to
each Mortgage Loan that, as of the Closing Date, assuming good title has been
conveyed to the Depositor, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans
and Mortgage Notes, and did not encumber the Mortgage Loans during its period of
ownership thereof, other than as contemplated by the Agreement.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the
Trustee, or to the Custodian on the Trustee's behalf.
SECTION 2.05 Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
Substitutions.
(a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no
substitution pursuant to Section 2.02 shall be made more than 90 days after the
Closing Date unless the Seller delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Trustee or
the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such substitution
will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on "prohibited transactions" on
the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup Date, as defined in Sections
860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any REMIC
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding.
(b) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, a Servicer, or the Trustee
that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall
promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of discovery) give
written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the
Trustee shall require the Seller, at the Seller's option, to either (i)
substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03(d) with respect to substitutions
are satisfied, a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage
Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such
discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of
representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03. The Trustee shall
reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the
same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan
repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section
2.03.
SECTION 2.06 Execution and Delivery of Certificates.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt by the Custodian on its behalf of the
documents identified in the Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit G and the amounts required to be deposited into the Prefunding Account,
the Capitalized Interest Account and the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and,
concurrently with such receipt, has executed and delivered to or upon the order
of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing
directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee
agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above for the
benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates and to perform the
duties set forth in this Agreement according to its terms.
46
SECTION 2.07 REMIC Matters.
The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and "latest possible
maturity date" for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby.
The "Startup Day" for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing
Date. The "tax matters person" with respect to each REMIC hereunder shall be the
holder of the Class R Certificate. The Trustee on behalf of the holders of the
Class R Certificates shall act as agent for the "tax matters person". By its
acceptance of a Class R Certificate, each holder thereof shall have agreed to
such appointment and shall have consented to the appointment of the Trustee as
its agent to act on behalf of each REMIC pursuant to the specific duties
outlined herein. Each REMIC's fiscal year shall be the calendar year.
SECTION 2.08 Covenants of the Servicers.
Each Servicer hereby covenants to the Depositor and the Trustee for itself
only as follows:
(a) the Servicer shall comply in the performance of its obligations under
this Agreement in all material respects with all reasonable rules and
requirements of the insurer under each Primary Insurance Policy; and
(b) no written information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished
in writing or written report delivered to the Depositor, any affiliate of the
Depositor or the Trustee and prepared by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement
will contain any untrue statement of a material fact.
SECTION 2.09 Conveyance of Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests and
Intermediate REMIC Regular Interests and Acceptance of
REMIC II and REMIC III, Respectively, by the Trustee;
Issuance of Certificates.
(a) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to the
Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in
and to the Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests for the benefit of the
Intermediate REMIC Regular Interests and the Intermediate REMIC Residual
Interests and conveys the Intermediate REMIC Regular Interests for the benefit
of the holders of the Certificates. The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the
Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests and Intermediate REMIC Regular Interests
(which are uncertificated) and declares that it holds and will hold the same in
trust for the exclusive use and ultimate benefit of the holders of the
Certificates. The interests evidenced by the Class R-III Interest, together with
the Regular Certificates, constitute the entire beneficial ownership interest in
the Master REMIC.
(b) In exchange for the Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests and,
concurrently with the assignment to the Trustee thereof, pursuant to the written
request of the Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor, the Trustee
has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor,
the Subsidiary REMIC Residual Interest and in exchange for the Intermediate
REMIC Regular Interests, the Regular Certificates in authorized denominations
47
evidencing (together with the Class R-III Interest) the entire beneficial
ownership interest in the Master REMIC.
(c) Concurrently with (i) the assignment and delivery to the Trustee of
REMIC I (including the Residual Interest therein represented by the Subsidiary
REMIC Residual Interest) and REMIC II (including the Residual Interest therein
represented by the Intermediate REMIC Residual Interest and the acceptance by
the Trustee thereof, pursuant to Section 2.01, Section 2.02 and Section 2.09(a)
and (ii) the assignment and delivery to the Trustee of the Master REMIC
(including the Residual Interest therein represented by the Class R-III
Interest) and the acceptance by the Trustee thereof, pursuant to Section
2.09(b), the Trustee, pursuant to the written request of the Depositor executed
by an officer of the Depositor, has executed, authenticated and delivered to or
upon the order of the Depositor, the Class R Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing the Class Subsidiary REMIC Residual Interest,
Intermediate REMIC Residual Interest and the Class R-III Interest.
48
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01 Servicers to Service Mortgage Loans.
For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, each Servicer shall service
and administer the related Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and with Accepted Servicing Practices. The obligations of each of
Vesta and Ocwen hereunder to service and administer the Mortgage Loans shall be
limited to the Vesta Serviced Loans and the Ocwen Serviced Loans respectively;
and with respect to the duties and obligations of each Servicer, references
herein to "Mortgage Loans" or related "Mortgage Loans" shall be limited to the
Vesta Serviced Loans, including the Special Serviced Mortgage Loans (and the
related proceeds thereof and related REO Properties), in the case of Vesta and
the Ocwen Serviced Loans (and the related proceeds thereof and related REO
Properties), in the case of Ocwen, and in no event shall any Servicer have any
responsibility or liability with respect to any of the other Mortgage Loans. In
connection with such servicing and administration, each Servicer shall have full
power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in
Section 3.02 hereof, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may
deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and
administration, including but not limited to, the power and authority, subject
to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other
instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged
Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only
in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance
Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or
other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any
Mortgage Loan, provided that a Servicer shall not take any action that is
inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the
Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificateholders under this Agreement. Each
Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same
manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio
in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, and shall not
make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any Mortgage Loan which
would cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the
imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Servicer, in its own name
or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and
empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when such Servicer believes it
appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or
discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. Each Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor
and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by either or
both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable such Servicer to service
and administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent that such Servicer is not
permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding
sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall
execute such documents and deliver them to such Servicer.
49
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer
shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of
effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties,
which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related
collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further as
provided in Section 3.09. The costs incurred by a Servicer, if any, in effecting
the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and
related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly
distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal
Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such
Mortgage Loans so permit.
With respect to the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer of such Mortgage Loans
agrees that, with respect to the Mortgagors of such Mortgage Loans, the Servicer
shall accurately and fully report its borrower credit files to Equifax,
Transunion & Experian in a timely manner.
The Servicer hereby acknowledges that, to the extent the Servicer has
previously serviced some or all of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to another
servicing agreement, the provisions contained in this Agreement shall supersede
the provisions contained in such other servicing agreement.
SECTION 3.02 Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of Subservicers.
(a) The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on behalf of the
related Servicer in accordance with the servicing provisions of this Agreement,
provided that the Subservicer is a FNMA-approved lender or a FHLMC
seller/servicer in good standing, and no event has occurred, including but not
limited to a change in insurance coverage, which would make it unable to comply
with the eligibility requirements for lenders imposed by FNMA or for
seller/servicer imposed by FHLMC, or which would require notification to FNMA or
FHLMC. A Servicer may perform any of its servicing responsibilities hereunder or
may cause the Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on its
behalf, but the use by the Servicer of the Subservicer shall not release the
Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder and the Servicer shall remain
responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions of the Subservicer as fully as
if such acts and omissions were those of the Servicer. The Servicer shall pay
all fees and expenses of any Subservicer engaged by the Servicer from its own
funds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall be entitled to outsource
one or more separate servicing functions to a Person (each, an "Outsourcer")
that does not meet the eligibility requirements for a Subservicer, so long as
such outsourcing does not constitute the delegation of the Servicer's obligation
to perform all or substantially all of the servicing of the related Mortgage
Loans to such Outsourcer. In such event, the use by a Servicer of any such
Outsourcer shall not release the related Servicer from any of its obligations
hereunder and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and
omissions of such Outsourcer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those
of the Servicer, and the Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of the
Outsourcer from the Servicer's own funds.
(b) At the cost and expense of a Servicer, without any right of
reimbursement from the Depositor, Trustee, or the applicable Collection Account,
the Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and responsibilities of
its Subservicer and arrange for any servicing
50
responsibilities to be performed by a successor Subservicer meeting the
requirements set forth in Section 3.02(a); provided, however, that nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Servicer, at the
Servicer's option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself.
In the event that a Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement
are terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, and if requested to do so by the
Trustee, the Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights and
responsibilities of its Subservicer as soon as is reasonably possible. The
Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to
terminate the rights and responsibilities of its Subservicer from the Servicer's
own funds without any right of reimbursement from the Depositor, Trustee, or the
applicable Collection Account.
(c) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between a Servicer and its Subservicer, a Servicer
and its Outsourcer, or any reference herein to actions taken through the
Subservicer, the Outsourcer, or otherwise, no Servicer shall be relieved of its
obligations to the Depositor, Trustee or Certificateholders and shall be
obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it
alone were servicing and administering the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer
shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with its Subservicer and Outsourcer
for indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer or Outsourcer, as
applicable, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or
modify such indemnification.
For purposes of this Agreement, a Servicer shall be deemed to have received
any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the related Mortgage
Loans that are received by a related Subservicer or Outsourcer regardless of
whether such payments are remitted by the Subservicer or Outsourcer to the
Servicer.
Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating
to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer shall be deemed to be between the
Subservicer, and the related Servicer alone, and the Depositor, the Trustee and
the other Servicer shall have no obligations, duties or liabilities with respect
to a Subservicer including no obligation, duty or liability to pay a
Subservicer's fees and expenses.
51
SECTION 3.03 Special Serviced Mortgage Loans
If directed by Vesta and solely at Vesta's option, a Servicer shall
transfer the servicing of any Mortgage Loan 91 days or more delinquent to Vesta.
Vesta shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of such Servicer
hereunder arising thereafter and the predecessor servicer shall have no further
responsibility with respect to such Mortgage Loan (except that Vesta shall not
be (i) liable for losses of such Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof for
any acts or omissions of the related predecessor Servicer hereunder prior to the
servicing transfer date, (ii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or
substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not limited to,
repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03
hereof or (iii) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of such
predecessor Servicer hereunder). Upon the transfer of the servicing of any such
Mortgage Loan to Vesta, Vesta shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and other
compensation accruing after the servicing transfer date with respect to such
Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.15.
In connection with the transfer of the servicing of any Mortgage Loan to
Vesta, each Servicer shall, at Vesta's expense, deliver to Vesta all documents
and records relating to such Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts
collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly
and efficient transfer of the servicing to Vesta. On the servicing transfer
date, Vesta shall reimburse the predecessor servicer for all unreimbursed
Advances, Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees relating to the Mortgage Loans
for which the servicing is being transferred. In addition, Vesta shall amend the
Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect that such Mortgage Loans are Special Serviced
Mortgage Loans.
Vesta may be replaced as special servicer by holders of the Class B
Certificates representing a majority of the Class B Principal Balance.
SECTION 3.04 Notification of Adjustments.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan with an adjustable Mortgage Rate, the
related Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage Rate on the related Adjustment Date
in compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage
and Mortgage Note. The related Servicer shall execute and deliver any and all
necessary notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Rate adjustments. Upon the
discovery by the related Servicer or the receipt of notice from the Trustee that
the Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Rate in accordance with the terms
of the related Mortgage Note, that Servicer shall immediately deposit in the
Certificate Account from its own funds the amount of any interest loss or
deferral caused the Trustee thereby.
SECTION 3.05 Trustee to Act as Servicer.
In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default, as defined in
Section 7.01), the Trustee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the
rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that
the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.10 hereof or any acts or omissions of the related predecessor Servicer
hereunder, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by
applicable law, (iii) obligated to
52
effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including,
but not limited to, repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof or (iv) deemed to have made any representations and
warranties of the Servicer hereunder). Any such assumption shall be subject to
Section 7.02 hereof.
The Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the
Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to
each Subservicing Agreement or substitute Subservicing Agreement and the
Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and hereunder by the Servicer and
an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute
Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party at the expense of the outgoing
Servicer.
SECTION 3.06 Collection of Mortgage Loans; Collection Account; Certificate
Account; Prefunding Account; Capitalized Interest Account
(a) Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on
all Mortgage Loans have been paid in full or such Mortgage Loans have become
Liquidation Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall proceed in accordance with the
customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan servicers to
collect all payments due under each of the related Mortgage Loans when the same
shall become due and payable to the extent consistent with this Agreement and
the terms and provisions of the MGIC Policy and any related Primary Insurance
Policy and shall take special care with respect to Mortgage Loans for which a
Servicer collects escrow payments in ascertaining and estimating Escrow Payments
and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to the
Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties, to the end that the installments
payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as and when
they become due and payable. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in
its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge and (ii) extend the due dates
for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days;
provided, however, that the Servicer cannot extend the maturity of any such
Mortgage Loan past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest
maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Initial Cut-off Date. In the event of any such
arrangement, the related Servicer shall make Advances on the related Mortgage
Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 during the scheduled
period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan
without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. The Servicer shall
not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect to collection of
any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any
public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it
reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other
instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by
applicable law.
(b) Each Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received
pursuant to a Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and
general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Collection Accounts,
in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled "[Servicer's name], in
trust for the Holders of Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp.,
CSFB ABS Trust Series 2001-HE16, CSFB Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2001-HE16". Each Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. Any funds
deposited in a Collection Account shall at all times be either invested in
Eligible Investments or shall be fully insured to the full extent permitted
under applicable law. Funds
53
deposited in a Collection Account may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance
with Section 3.09.
(c) The Servicer shall deposit in the applicable Collection Account on a
daily basis, and, in each case, retain therein, the following collections
remitted by Subservicers or payments received by the Servicer and payments made
by the Servicer subsequent to the Cut-off Date, other than payments of principal
and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date:
(i) all payments on account of principal on the related Mortgage
Loans, including all Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the related Mortgage Loans
adjusted to the per annum rate equal to the Mortgage Rate reduced by the
Servicing Fee Rate;
(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds on the related Mortgage Loans;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds on the related Mortgage Loans including
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.10 (other than
proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or
repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance
with Section 3.10);
(v) all Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01;
(vi) all Substitution Adjustment Amounts and Repurchase Prices on the
related Mortgage Loans;
(vii) with respect to each Principal Prepayment on the related
Mortgage Loans, the Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for the
Prepayment Period. The aggregate of such deposits shall be made from the
Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement therefor, up to a maximum
amount per month equal to the Compensating Interest Payment, if any, for
the Mortgage Loans serviced by that Servicer and Distribution Date;
(viii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in respect
of net monthly income from REO Property pursuant to Section 3.12; and
(ix) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.
The foregoing requirements for deposit into each Collection Account shall
be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Ancillary Income need not be deposited by the
Servicer into such Collection Account. In addition, notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 3.06, the Servicer may deduct from amounts received
by it, prior to deposit to the applicable Collection Account, any portion of any
Scheduled Payment representing the Servicing Fee. In the event that a Servicer
shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw
or direct the institution maintaining the related Collection Account to withdraw
such amount from such Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering
written notice thereof to the Trustee or such other institution
54
maintaining such Collection Account which describes the amounts deposited in
error in such Collection Account. The Trustee may conclusively rely on such
notice and shall have no liability in connection with the withdrawal of such

respect to the related Subsequent Transfer Agreement, the Trustee shall remit to
the Depositor the applicable Aggregate Subsequent Transfer Amount as payment of
the purchase price for the related Subsequent Mortgage Loans.
If any funds remain in the Prefunding Account on October 24, 2001, to the
extent that they represent earnings on the amounts originally deposited into the

Depositor. The remaining funds shall be transferred to the Certificate Account

payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date. To the
extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer shall
determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor prior to the
applicable penalty or termination date. The Servicer assumes fill responsibility

the Escrow Payments, and the Servicer shall make Servicing Advances from its own
funds to effect such payments to the extent that the Servicer, in accordance
with Accepted Servicing Practices, deems such Servicing Advance recoverable, and
(ii) any penalties or late charges incurred in connection with such bills;
provided, however, the Servicer shall not be so obligated with respect to any
Mortgage which does not provide for Escrow Payments; provided, further, Vesta
shall be entitled to reimbursement as a Servicing Advance for any such penalties
or late charges related to a Special Serviced Mortgage Loan and such bills and
charges due prior to the transfer of the servicing of such Mortgage Loan to
Vesta pursuant to Section 3.05.
(f) No later than the Closing Date, Vesta shall establish and maintain a

Sub-Account in trust for the Holders of Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage

shall maintain a record of all such deposits.
(g) Vesta shall withdraw amounts on deposit in the applicable Simple

deposit therein, and (ii) the Net Simple Interest Shortfall for such
Distribution Date.
(h) Vesta shall distribute to the Class X Certificateholder 90% of the
balance in the applicable Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account on the Distribution
Date each year occurring in August, commencing in August, 2002. Such

addition, the Servicer shall provide to Vesta reasonable access to all records
and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans serviced by it that become
Special Serviced Mortgage Loans.
(b) Upon reasonable advance notice in writing, the Servicer will provide to
each Certificateholder which is a savings and loan association, bank or
insurance company certain reports and reasonable access to information and
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans sufficient to permit such

Certificateholder for actual expenses incurred by the Servicer in providing such
reports and access.

deemed necessary by the Servicer in the Servicer's sole discretion, to assure
itself that the value of such Mortgaged Property is being preserved and shall

or as may be required by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer. The Servicer
shall keep a written or electronic report of each such inspection.

Certificate Account.
(a) The Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the related

3.12 hereof;
(v) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or

(ix) on or prior to 4:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance

The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage
Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from
the related Collection Account pursuant to such subclauses (i), (ii), (iv) and
(v). Prior to making any withdrawal from a
60
Collection Account pursuant to subclause (iii), the related Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the
amount of any previous Advance determined by the Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable
Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loans(s), and their respective
portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance.
(b) The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Certificate Account for
distributions to Certificateholders and MGIC in the manner specified in this
Agreement (and to withhold from the amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any
taxes that it is authorized to withhold pursuant to the last paragraph of

(iii) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon termination
of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.
SECTION 3.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Mortgage Impairment Insurance
and Primary Insurance Policy; Claims; Restoration of Mortgaged
Property.
(a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard
insurance such that all buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a
generally acceptable insurer rated either: "V" or better in the current Best's
Key Rating Guide ("Best's") or acceptable to FNMA and/or FHLMC against loss by
fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in
the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount which is at least
equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements
securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of (A) the outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (B) an amount such that the proceeds
of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee
from becoming a co-insurer.
If upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property
was located in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has
been made available), the related Servicer shall cause a flood insurance policy
to be maintained with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Such policy shall meet the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration
and be in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of (i) the minimum
amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or
loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid principal balance of the
mortgage if replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building
insured) and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the
term of the Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer determines in accordance with
applicable law and pursuant to the FNMA Guides that a Mortgaged Property is
located in a
61
special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance or is covered in
an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973, as amended, the Servicer shall notify the related Mortgagor that the
Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails
to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within 45 days after such
notification, the Servicer shall immediately force place the required flood
insurance on the Mortgagor's behalf.
If a Mortgage is secured by a unit in a condominium project, the related
Servicer shall verify that the coverage required of the owner's association,
including hazard, flood, liability, and fidelity coverage, is being maintained
in accordance with the then current FNMA or FHLMC requirements, and secure from
the owner's association its agreement to notify the Servicer promptly of any
change in the insurance coverage or of any condemnation or casualty loss that
may have a material effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property as security.
The Servicer shall cause to be maintained on each Mortgaged Property such
other additional special hazard insurance as may be required pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance, or pursuant to the requirements of any
Primary Insurance Policy insurer, or as may be required to conform with Accepted
Servicing Practices.
All policies required hereunder shall name the Servicer as loss payee and
shall be endorsed with standard or union mortgagee clauses, without
contribution, which shall provide for prior written notice of any cancellation,
reduction in amount or material change in coverage.
A Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice at
the origination of such Mortgage Loan in selecting either his insurance carrier
or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not accept any such
insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies are rated: V
in Best's or acceptable FNMA and/or FHLMC and are licensed to do business in the
jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. The Servicer shall
determine that such policies provide sufficient risk coverage and amounts, that
they insure the property owner, and that they properly describe the property
address.
Pursuant to Section 3.06, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any
such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the related Escrow Account
and applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or
property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or to be released to the
Mortgagor, in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall
be deposited in the related Collection Account (subject to withdrawal pursuant
to Section 3.09(a)).
Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall
not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the
Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee for their benefit, be added to
the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of
the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Servicer out
of late payments by the related Mortgagor or out of Liquidation Proceeds or
otherwise to the extent permitted by Section 3.09 hereof. It is understood and
agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any
Mortgagor or maintained on
62
property acquired in respect of a Mortgage other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance.
(b) In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket
policy insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under
extended coverage on all of the related Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such
policy provides coverage in an amount equal to the amount required pursuant to
Section 3.10(a) and otherwise complies with all other requirements of Section
3.10(a), it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as
set forth in Section 3.10(a). Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any
such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the related
Collection Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.09(a). Such
policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the event that there
shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy
complying with Section 3.10(a), and there shall have been a loss which would
have been covered by such policy, the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection
Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise payable under the
blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount to be deposited
from the Servicer's funds, without reimbursement therefor. In connection with
its activities as Servicer of the related Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to
present, on behalf of itself, the Depositor, and the Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.
(c) With respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio in excess
of 80% which the Seller represented to be covered by a Primary Insurance Policy
as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer shall, without any cost to the Depositor or
Trustee, maintain or cause the Mortgagor to maintain in full force and effect a
Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Policy insuring that portion of the Mortgage Loan in
excess of 75% of value, and shall pay or shall cause the Mortgagor to pay, the
premium thereon on a timely basis, until the loan-to-value ratio of such
Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%, based on either (i) a current appraisal of the
Mortgaged Property or (ii) the appraisal of the Mortgaged Property obtained at
the time the Mortgage Loan was originated. In the event that such Primary
Insurance Policy shall be terminated, the Servicer shall obtain from another
Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a total coverage equal
to the remaining coverage of such terminated Primary Insurance Policy. If the
insurer shall cease to be a Qualified Insurer, the Servicer shall determine
whether recoveries under the Primary Insurance Policy are jeopardized for
reasons related to the financial condition of such insurer, it being understood
that the Servicer shall in no event have any responsibility or liability for any
failure to recover under the Primary Insurance Policy for such reason. If the
Servicer determines that recoveries are so jeopardized, it shall notify the
Mortgagor, if required, and obtain from another Qualified Insurer a replacement
insurance policy. The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in
noncoverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but
for the actions of the Servicer would have been covered thereunder. In
connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered into or to be
entered into pursuant to Section 3.11, the Servicer shall promptly notify the
insurer under the related Primary Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption
or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such Primary
Insurance Policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such
insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under such Primary
Insurance Policy provided that such required actions are in compliance with all
applicable law. If such Primary Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of
such assumption or substitution of liability, the Servicer shall obtain a
replacement Primary Insurance Policy as provided above; provided that under
applicable law and the terms of
63
the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage the cost of such policy may be charged to
the successor Mortgagor.
With respect to Mortgage Loans covered by a Primary Insurance Policy (other
than the MGIC Policy), the Servicer agrees to effect timely payment of the
premiums on each Primary Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise
recoverable shall be recoverable by the Servicer from the related liquidation
proceeds.
In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to
prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policy in
a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Primary Insurance Policy
and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to
permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policy respecting defaulted Mortgage
Loans. Pursuant to Section 3.06, any amounts collected by a Servicer under any
Primary Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the related Collection Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.09.
(d) The Servicer shall take all actions necessary relating to Mortgage
Loans it services in order to maintain or cause to be maintained the MGIC Policy
in full force and effect until this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section
9.01, except to the extent of actions for which the Servicer is responsible
under this Section 3.10(d). On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall remit
to MGIC the MGIC Fee. In the event that such MGIC Policy shall be terminated
otherwise than required by law, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to
obtain from another Qualified Insurer a comparable replacement policy, with a
total coverage equal to the remaining coverage of such terminated MGIC Policy
and a cost not in excess of the MGIC Fee. If MGIC shall cease to be a Qualified
Insurer, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to obtain from another
Qualified Insurer a replacement insurance policy in accordance with the
preceding sentence. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in obtaining a replacement insurance
policy pursuant to Section 3.09.
In connection with its activities as servicer, the Servicer agrees to
prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under the MGIC Policy in a timely
fashion in accordance with the terms of such the MGIC Policy and, in this
regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery
under the MGIC Policy respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section
3.06, any amounts collected by a Servicer under the MGIC Policy shall be
deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.09. The Servicer shall be responsible for taking all actions required under
the MGIC Policy to cause each MGIC Mortgage Loan serviced by it to continue to
be eligible for coverage under the MGIC Policy, and to maximize proceeds of any
claim thereunder. The Servicer shall be solely responsible for complying with
all reporting and other information requirements under the MGIC Policy, with
respect to all MGIC Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall not take any action
inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices which would result in noncoverage
under the MGIC Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer
would have been covered thereunder. In connection with any assumption or
substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section
3.11, the Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the MGIC Policy, if
any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the
terms of the MGIC Policy and shall take all
64
actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation
of coverage under the MGIC Policy.
(e) The Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Trustee prior to
releasing any Insurance Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance
with Accepted Servicing Practices. At a minimum, the Servicer shall comply with
the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance
Proceeds:
(i) the Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent verification
of completion of repairs and issuance of any required approvals with
respect thereto;
(ii) the Servicer shall take all steps necessary to preserve the
priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to
requiring waivers with respect to mechanics' and materialmen's liens; and
(iii) pending repairs or restoration, the Servicer shall place the
Insurance Proceeds in the related Escrow Account.
If the Trustee is named as an additional loss payee, the related Servicer
is hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such a claim
in the name of the Trustee.
SECTION 3.11 Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
(a) The Servicer shall use its best efforts to enforce any "due-on-sale"
provision contained in any related Mortgage or Mortgage Note and to deny
assumption by the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is about to
be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or
not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note. When the
Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the related Servicer
shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its rights to
accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the "due-on-sale" clause
applicable thereto, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise such
rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights
would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary
Insurance Policy, if any.
(b) If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law
to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Servicer shall enter into (i) an
assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such property has
been conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage
Note and the original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event the
Servicer is unable under applicable law to require that the original Mortgagor
remain liable under the Mortgage Note, a substitution of liability agreement
with the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original
Mortgagor is released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property
is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default
under this Section by reason of any transfer or assumption which the Servicer
reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the
Mortgage Note, including without
65
limitation, the Mortgage Rate borne by the related Mortgage Note, the term of
the Mortgage Loan or the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall
be changed.
(c) To the extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the Servicer shall
inquire diligently into the creditworthiness of the proposed transferee, and
shall use the underwriting criteria for approving the credit of the proposed
transferee which are used by FNMA with respect to underwriting mortgage loans of
the same type as the Mortgage Loans. If the credit of the proposed transferee
does not meet such underwriting criteria, the related Servicer diligently shall,
to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and by applicable
law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.
(d) Subject to the Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the
extent set forth in this Section 3.11, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property
has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into
an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument
of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from
liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause
to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in
writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with the Person to whom
the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification agreement or
supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as are
reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage
or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the
transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. In connection with any such
assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. Together with
each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered to
the Trustee for execution by it, the related Servicer shall deliver an Officer's
Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the requirements of this
subsection have been met in connection therewith. The related Servicer shall
notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been
completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original of such substitution or
assumption agreement, which in the case of the original shall be added to the
related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such
Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by a Servicer for entering into
an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the
Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
SECTION 3.12 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of
Certain Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the
related Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In
connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall take
such action as (i) the Servicer would take under similar circumstances with
respect to a similar mortgage loan held for its own account for investment, (ii)
shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, (iii) the Servicer shall
determine consistently with Accepted Servicing Practices to be in the best
interest of the Depositor, Trustee and Certificateholders, and (iv) is
consistent with the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance
Policy;
66
provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own
funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any
property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure
will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after
reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be
recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have
priority for purposes of withdrawals from the related Collection Account). The
Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in
any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to
reimbursement thereof from the Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the related
Mortgaged Property or otherwise pursuant to Section 3.08(a).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in
connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in
the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a Mortgaged Property
is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, or if the Trustee
otherwise requests, an environmental inspection or review of such Mortgaged
Property conducted by a qualified inspector shall be arranged for by the
Servicer. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly provide
the Trustee with a written report of environmental inspection.
In the event the environmental inspection report indicates that the
Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes,
the related Servicer shall not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed
in lieu of foreclosure if the estimated costs of the environmental clean up, as
estimated in the environmental inspection report, together with the Servicing
Advances made by the Servicer and the estimated costs of foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure exceeds the estimated value of the
Mortgaged Property. If however, the aggregate of such clean up and foreclosure
costs and Servicing Advances as estimated in the environmental inspection report
are less than or equal to the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property, then
the Servicer may, in its reasonable judgment and in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices, choose to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed
in lieu of foreclosure and the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all reasonable
costs associated with such foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure and any related environmental clean up costs, as applicable, from
the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the Liquidation Proceeds are
insufficient to fully reimburse the Servicer, the Servicer shall be entitled to
be reimbursed from amounts in the related Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.08(a) hereof. In the event the Servicer does not proceed with foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure pursuant to the first sentence of
this paragraph, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made
with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the related Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.08(a) hereof, and the Servicer shall have no
further obligation to service such Mortgage Loan under the provisions of this
Agreement.
(b) With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall
be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee's name shall be
placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not
in its individual capacity. The related Servicer shall ensure that the title to
such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee's capacity
hereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall
in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices manage, conserve, protect and
operate each REO Property for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale.
The Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the
67
Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the
same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed
property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in
the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The Servicer shall furnish to
the Trustee on or before each Distribution Date a statement with respect to any
REO Property covering the operation of such REO Property for the previous
calendar month and such other information as the Trustee shall reasonably
request and which is necessary to enable the Trustee to comply with the
reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income,
if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Collection Account no
later than the close of business on each Determination Date. The Servicer shall
perform the tax reporting and withholding required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of
the Code with respect to foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting
required by Section 6050H of the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage
interest from individuals and any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the
Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial
entities, by preparing such tax and information returns as may be required for
filing.
To the extent consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the related
Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance with
extended coverage in amount which is equal to the outstanding principal balance
of the related Mortgage Loan (as reduced by any amount applied as a reduction of
principal at the time of acquisition of the REO Property), liability insurance
and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection
Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount required above.
(c) In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property
prior to three years after the end of the calendar year of its acquisition by
the Trust Fund unless (i) the Trustee shall have been supplied with an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged
Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in the imposition
of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC hereunder as defined in
Section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust
Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions
contained in such Opinion of Counsel) or (ii) the Servicer shall have applied
for, prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an extension of such
three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code,
in which case the three-year period shall be extended by the applicable
extension period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no
Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to
continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on
behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would
(i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC
hereunder to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the
income earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or
otherwise, unless the related Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless
the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligor
is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in
68
respect of such Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer will cause compliance with
the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor
thereto) necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with
respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that
proceeds of such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligors on such
Mortgage Loan.
(d) The decision of a Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan
shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the proceeds of such
foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding.
The income earned from the management of any REO Properties, net of
reimbursement to the Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or
other taxes) in connection with such management and net of applicable accrued
and unpaid Servicing Fees, and unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances,
shall be applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the related
defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such Mortgage Loans
were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in
this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the
related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the related Collection
Account. To the extent the net income received during any calendar month is in
excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest
at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan for such calendar
month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial prepayment of principal
of the related Mortgage Loan.
(e) The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any
income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority:
first, to reimburse the related Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing
Advances and Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Servicer for any
unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the related Collection Account for
any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that were previously withdrawn
by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage
Loan; fourth, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been
made for such amount or any such Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage
Loan or related REO Property, at the per annum rate equal to the related
Mortgage Rate reduced by the Servicing Fee Rate to the Due Date occurring in the
month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fifth, as a
recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess Proceeds, if any, from the
liquidation of a Liquidation Mortgage Loan will be retained by the related
Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.15.
(f) Vesta may, at its option, enter into a special servicing agreement with
an unaffiliated Holder of the Class X Certificate, subject to each Rating
Agency's acknowledgment that the Ratings of the Certificates in effect
immediately prior to the entering into of such agreement would not be qualified,
downgraded or withdrawn and the Certificates would not be placed on credit
review status (except for possible upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any
such agreement may contain provisions whereby such Holder may (i) instruct Vesta
to commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with respect to delinquent Mortgage
Loans serviced by it and will contain provisions for the deposit of cash with
Vesta by the Holder that would be available for distribution to
Certificateholders if Liquidation Proceeds are less than they otherwise may have
been had Vesta acted in accordance with its normal procedures, (ii) purchase
delinquent Mortgage Loans serviced by Vesta from the Trust Fund immediately
prior to the commencement of foreclosure proceedings at a price equal to the
Repurchase Price, and/or (iii)
69
assume all of the servicing rights and obligations with respect to delinquent
Mortgage Loans serviced by Vesta so long as such Holder (A) meets the
requirements for a Subservicer set forth in Section 3.02(a), and (B) will
service such Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement.
(g) Vesta , at its option, may (but is not obligated to) purchase from the
Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan which is 90 or more days delinquent. If it elects
to make any such purchase, Vesta shall purchase such Mortgage Loan with its own
funds at a price equal to the Repurchase Price.
SECTION 3.13 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage 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 delivering, or causing to be delivered a "Request for Release" substantially
in the form of Exhibit M. Upon receipt of such request, the Custodian shall
within four Business Days release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and
the Trustee shall within four Business Days of the Servicer's direction execute
and deliver to the Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance
or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of
the Mortgage in each case provided by the Servicer, together with the Mortgage
Note with written evidence of cancellation thereon. The Servicer shall execute
lien releases under Power of Attorney from the Trustee. Expenses incurred in
connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be
chargeable to the related Mortgagor. From time to time and as shall be
appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including for
such purpose, collection under any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity bond
or errors or omissions policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial
release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of
any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other
documents included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee shall, within three
Business Days of delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release in the form of
Exhibit M signed by a Servicing Officer, release or cause the Custodian to
release the Mortgage File to the related Servicer. Subject to the further
limitations set forth below, the Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File or
documents so released to be returned to the Trustee or the Custodian, as
applicable, when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the
Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the
related Collection Account, in which case the Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M, signed by a Servicing
Officer.
If a Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding in
respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement, the Servicer
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for signature, as
appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents
necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain
a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity.
70
SECTION 3.14 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of a Servicer to be
Held for the Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Servicer shall
transmit to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee as required by this Agreement
all documents and instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the
possession of the Servicer from time to time required to be delivered to the
Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof and shall account fully to the Trustee for
any funds received by the Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the
Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any
Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the
control of, the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the
collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds,
including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in a Collection Account,
shall be held by the Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and
remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable
provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer also agrees that it shall not create,
incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the
related Collection Account, Certificate Account or any related Escrow Account,
or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest,
judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal
action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or
any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however,
that the Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such
funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Servicer under this
Agreement.
SECTION 3.15 Servicing Fee.
As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled
to withdraw from the applicable Collection Account in accordance with Section
3.09(a) or to retain from interest payments on the related Mortgage Loans the
amount of the Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan, less any amounts in respect
of its Servicing Fee payable by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06(c)(vii).
In connection with the servicing of any Special Serviced Mortgage Loan, Vesta
shall receive the Servicing Fee for each such Mortgage Loan as its compensation.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of Ancillary Income shall be
retained by the related Servicer. The Servicer shall be required to pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder
(including the payment of any expenses incurred in connection with any
Subservicing Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.02 and the payment of
any premiums for hazard insurance and any Primary Insurance Policy, and
maintenance of the other forms of insurance coverage required by this Agreement
other than the MGIC Policy) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement thereof
except as specifically provided for in this Agreement.
SECTION 3.16 Access to Certain Documentation.
The Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to comparable
regulatory authorities supervising Holders of Subordinate Certificates and the
examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such other
authorities, access to the documentation regarding
71
the related Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the OTS and the
FDIC. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and
prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices designated
by the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the
Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information
regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as
provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a
breach of this Section.
SECTION 3.17 Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor, the Rating Agencies and the
Trustee on or before 120 days after the end of the Servicer's fiscal year,
commencing in its 2002 fiscal year, an Officer's Certificate stating, as to the
signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the
preceding calendar year and of the performance of the Servicer under this
Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision, and (ii) to the best
of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled
all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has
been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such
default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and the action
being taken by the Servicer to cure such default.
SECTION 3.18 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Statement;
Financial Statements.
On or before 120 days after the end of the Servicer's fiscal year,
commencing in its 2002 fiscal year, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a
nationally or regionally recognized firm of independent public accountants (who
may also render other services to the Servicer, the Seller or any affiliate
thereof) which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee and the Depositor to the
effect that with respect to the Servicer, such firm has examined certain
documents and records relating to the servicing of mortgage loans which the
Servicer is servicing, including the related Mortgage Loans, and that, on the
basis of such examination, conducted substantially in compliance with the
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Guide for
HUD Approved Title II Approved Mortgagees and Loan Correspondent Programs,
nothing has come to their attention which would indicate that such servicing has
not been conducted in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, except for
(a) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (b) such
other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. In rendering such
statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating to direct servicing of
mortgage loans by Subservicers, upon comparable statements for examinations
conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Guide for HUD Approved Title II
Approved Mortgagees and Loan Correspondent Programs (rendered within one year of
such statement) of independent public accountants with respect to the related
Subservicer. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder upon request at the related Servicer's expense, provided such
statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.
72
SECTION 3.19 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions
Insurance.
Each Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, at its own
expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy,
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 related Mortgage Loans ("Servicer Employees"). Except with
respect to Ocwen Federal Bank FSB, any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and
Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Financial Institution
Bond Form 22 - Fidelity Bond American International Specialty Lines Insurance
Policy Form ("5713 5/93") Mortgage Banker Broker E&O and shall protect and
insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement,
fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of the Servicer Employees. With
respect to Ocwen Federal Bank FSB, such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions
Insurance Policy shall be in the form of the Financial Institution Bond Form 24
- Fidelity Bond American International Specialty Lines Insurance Policy form
("43350 12/90) or otherwise in a form acceptable to FNMA or FHMLC, and shall
protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft,
embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of the Servicer
Employees. Each such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy
also shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the
release or satisfaction of a related Mortgage Loan without having obtained
payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this
Section 3.19 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance
Policy shall diminish or relieve a Servicer from its duties and obligations as
set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and
insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required
by FNMA.
SECTION 3.20 Prepayment Premiums.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of
a Principal Prepayment of a Vesta Serviced Loan, Vesta may not waive any
Prepayment Premium or portion thereof required by the terms of the related
Mortgage Note unless (i) Vesta determines that such waiver would maximize
recovery of Liquidation Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the
value of such Prepayment Premium, or (ii) (A) the enforceability thereof is
limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other
similar law relating to creditors' rights generally or (2) due to acceleration
in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (B) the
enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by applicable law. For the
avoidance of doubt, Vesta may waive a Prepayment Premium in connection with a
short sale or short payoff on a defaulted Mortgage Loan. If Vesta has waived all
or a portion of a Prepayment Premium relating to a Principal Prepayment, other
than as provided above, Vesta shall deliver to the Trustee no later than the
next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, for deposit into the Certificate
Account the amount of such Prepayment Premium (or such portion thereof as had
been waived) for distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If
Vesta has waived all or a portion of a Prepayment Premium for any reason, it
shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof and shall include such information in
any monthly reports it provides the Trustee.
73
SECTION 3.21 Advance Facility.
(a) With the prior written consent of FSA, each Servicer is hereby
authorized to enter into a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an
"Advance Facility") under which (1) each such Servicer assigns or pledges to
another Person (an "Advancing Person") such Servicer's rights under this
Agreement to be reimbursed for any Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (2) an
Advancing Person agrees to fund some or all Advances and/or Servicing Advances
required to be made by such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of
the Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party (other than FSA) is required
before such Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility; provided, however, that
the consent of the Trustee shall be required before such Servicer may cause to
be outstanding at one time more than one Advance Facility with respect to
Advances or more than one Advance Facility with respect to Servicing Advances.
Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advancing
Person agrees to fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances on a Servicer's behalf,
each such Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make
Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement,
and shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance
Facility. If each such Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, and for so long
as an Advancing Person remains entitled to receive reimbursement for any
Advances or Servicing Advances outstanding and previously unreimbursed pursuant
to this Agreement, then the Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself
for Advances and/or Servicing Advances, as applicable, pursuant to Section
3.09(a) of this Agreement, but instead such Servicer shall be required to
include amounts collected that would otherwise be retained by such Servicer to
reimburse it for previously unreimbursed Advances ("Advance Reimbursement
Amounts") and/or previously unreimbursed Servicing Advances ("Servicing Advance
Reimbursement Amounts" and together with Advance Reimbursement Amounts,
"Reimbursement Amounts") (in each case to the extent such type of Reimbursement
Amount is included in the Advance Facility) to the extent of amounts on deposit
in the Collection Account on the related Servicer Remittance Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Advance
Reimbursement Amounts or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts be included in
"Available Funds" or distributed to Certificateholders. Each Servicer shall
report to the Trustee the portions of the Reimbursement Amounts that consist of
Advance Reimbursement Amounts and Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts,
respectively.
(b) If a Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, such Servicer and the
related Advancing Person shall deliver to the Trustee a written notice and
payment instruction (an "Advance Facility Notice"), providing the Trustee with
written payment instructions as to where to remit Advance Reimbursement Amounts
and/or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts (each to the extent such type of
Reimbursement Amount is included within the Advance Facility) on subsequent
Distribution Dates. The payment instruction shall require the applicable
Reimbursement Amounts to be distributed to the Advancing Person or to a trustee
or custodian (an "Advance Facility Trustee") designated in the Advance Facility
Notice. An Advance Facility Notice may only be terminated by the joint written
direction of the Servicer and the related Advancing Person (and any related
Advance Facility Trustee); provided, however, that the provisions of this
Section 3.21 shall cease to be applicable when all Advances and Servicing
Advances funded by an Advancing Person, and when all Advances and Servicing
Advances (the rights to be reimbursed for which have been assigned or pledged to
an Advancing Person), have been repaid to the related Advancing Person in full.
74
(c) Reimbursement Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of
Advances and/or Servicing Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans for
which the Servicer would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with
Section 3.09(ii), (iii) and (iv) hereof, assuming the Servicer had made the
related Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no Person shall be entitled to reimbursement from funds held in the Collection
Account for future distribution to Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions
of Section 4.01. Neither the Trustee nor FSA shall have any duty or liability
with respect to the calculation of any Reimbursement Amount and shall be
entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advance Facility
Notice and on such Servicer's report of the amount of Advance Reimbursement
Amounts and Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts that were included in the
remittance from such Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.09(a)(viii)
or (ix). Such Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor Servicer and
(upon request) to FSA a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to
amounts advanced by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing
Person. The successor Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information
provided by the predecessor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall not be
liable for any errors in such information.
(d) An Advancing Person who receives an assignment or pledge of the rights
to be reimbursed for Advances and/or Servicing Advances, and/or whose
obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Advances and/or Servicing
Advances shall not be required to meet the criteria for qualification of a
Sub-Servicer set forth in Section 3.02 hereof.
(e) The documentation establishing any Advance Facility shall require that
Reimbursement Amounts distributed with respect to each Mortgage Loan be
allocated to outstanding unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances (as the
case may be) made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a "first-in, first-out"
(FIFO) basis. Such documentation shall also require each Servicer to provide to
the related Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee loan-by-loan
information with respect to each Reimbursement Amount distributed by the Trustee
to such Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee on each Distribution Date,
to enable the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee to make the FIFO
allocation of each Reimbursement Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan. Each
Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advancing Person or
Advance Facility Trustee for all Advances and Servicing Advances funded by such
Servicer to the extent the related rights to be reimbursed therefor have not
been assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, FSA is not

Advance Facility, and is not and shall not be obligated to make any payment with
respect to any Reimbursement Amount. Each Servicer who enters into an Advance
Facility shall indemnify FSA, the Trustee, the Trust and any successor Servicer,
as applicable, from and against any claims, losses, liabilities or damages
resulting from any claim by the related Advancing Person, except to the extent
that such claim, loss, liability or damage resulted from or arose out of
negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of the FSA, the
Trustee or the successor Servicer, or failure by the successor Servicer or the
Trustee to remit funds as required by this Agreement or the commission of an act
or omission to act by the successor Servicer or the Trustee, and the passage of
any applicable cure or grace period, such that an Event of Default under this
Agreement occurs or such entity is subject to termination for cause under this
Agreement.
75
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.21, a
Servicer shall consult with FSA in determining the manner in which any Advance
Facility shall affect a successor Servicer before such Servicer shall enter into
an Advance Facility. Any amendment to this Section 3.21 or to any other
provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the
terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.21,
including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be
entered into by the Trustee, the Seller and such Servicer without the consent of
any Certificateholder, but only with the consent of FSA, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 11.01 of or elsewhere in this Agreement.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND
ADVANCES BY THE SERVICER
SECTION 4.01 Advances by the Servicer.
The Servicer shall deposit in the related Collection Account at the time
described below an amount equal to (i) with respect to the Mortgage Loans other
than the Simple Interest Mortgage Loans, all Scheduled Payments (with interest
at the Mortgage Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate) which were due on the related
Mortgage Loans during the applicable Due Period and (ii) with respect to the
Simple Interest Mortgage Loans, 30 day's interest on each such Mortgage Loan,
less the Servicing Fee, which were delinquent at the close of business on the
immediately preceding Determination Date; provided however, that with respect to
any Balloon Loan that is delinquent on its maturity date, the related Servicer
will not be required to advance the related balloon payment but will be required
to continue to make advances in accordance with this Section 4.01 with respect
to such Balloon Loan in an amount equal to an assumed scheduled payment that
would otherwise be due based on the original amortization schedule for that
Mortgage Loan (with interest at the Mortgage Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate).
The Servicer's obligation to make such Advances as to any related Mortgage Loan
will continue through the last Scheduled Payment due prior to the payment in
full of such Mortgage Loan, or the related Mortgaged Property or related REO
Property has been liquidated or until the purchase or repurchase thereof (or
substitution therefor) from the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.
To the extent required by Accepted Servicing Practices, the Servicer shall
be obligated to make Advances with respect to those Mortgage Loans serviced by
it in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided however, that
such obligation with respect to any related Mortgage Loan shall cease if the
Servicer determines, in its sole discretion, that Advances with respect to such
Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances. In the event that the Servicer
determines that any such advances are Nonrecoverable Advances, the Servicer
shall provide the Trustee with a certificate signed by a Servicing Officer
evidencing such determination.
If an Advance is required to be made hereunder, the Servicer shall on the
applicable Servicer Remittance Date immediately following the Determination Date
either (i) deposit in the related Collection Account from its own funds an
amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the
records of such Collection Account that funds in such account being held for
future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 4.01,
used by the Servicer to make such Advance or (iii) make Advances in the form of
any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance.
Any such funds being held in a Collection Account for future distribution and so
used shall be replaced by the Servicer from its own funds by deposit in such
Collection Account on or before any future Distribution Date in which such funds
would be due.

SECTION 4.06 Basis Risk Reserve Fund.
(a) On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its
name, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates, the Basis
Risk Reserve Fund. The Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall be an Eligible Account, and
funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be
commingled with, any other moneys, including without limitation, other moneys
held by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) On the Closing Date, $5,000 will be deposited by the Depositor into the
Basis Risk Reserve Fund. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall transfer
from the Certificate Account to the Basis Risk Reserve Fund pursuant to Section
4.02(d)J. the Required Basis Risk Reserve Fund Deposit. Amounts on deposit in
the Basis Risk Reserve Fund can be withdrawn by the Trustee in connection with
any Distribution Date to fund the amounts required to be distributed to holders
of the Offered Certificates pursuant to Sections 4.02(d) F. through I. to the
extent Monthly Excess Cashflow on such date is insufficient to make such
payments. On any Distribution Date, any amounts on deposit in the Basis Risk
Reserve Fund in excess of the Required Basis Risk Reserve Fund Amount shall be
distributed to the Class X Certificateholder pursuant to Section 4.02(d)K.
83
(c) Funds in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund may be invested in Eligible
Investments by the Trustee at the direction of the holders of the Class X
Certificates maturing on or prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date. Any
net investment earnings on such amounts shall be payable to the holders of the
Class X Certificates. The Trustee shall account for the Basis Risk Reserve Fund
as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury regulation 1.860G-2(h)
and not an asset of any REMIC created pursuant to this Agreement. The Class X
Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund for federal
tax purposes and the Holders thereof shall direct the Trustee in writing as to
the investment of amounts therein. The Trustee shall treat amounts transferred
by the Master REMIC to the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as distributions to the Class
X Certificateholder for all Federal tax purposes. In the absence of such written
direction, all funds in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall remain uninvested. The
Trustee shall have no liability for losses on investments in Eligible
Investments made pursuant to this Section 4.06(c) (other than as obligor on any
such investments). Upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in
the Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class X
Certificates in the same manner as if distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(d)K.
hereof.
(d) On the Distribution Date immediately after the Distribution Date on
which the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the LIBOR Certificates equals
zero, any amounts on deposit in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund not payable on the
LIBOR Certificates shall be deposited into the Certificate Account and
distributed to the Holders of the Class X Certificates in the same manner as if
distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(d)K. hereof.
SECTION 4.07 Policy Matters.
(a) As soon as possible, and in no event later than 11:00 a.m., New York
time, on the third Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date,
the Trustee shall determine the amount of funds available for such Distribution
Date minus the amount of any FSA Premium, any MGIC Premium and any Trustee Fee
to be paid on such Distribution Date.
If for any Distribution Date the Trustee determines that the funds
available for distribution to the Holders of the Class A Certificates pursuant
to Section 4.02 will be insufficient to pay the Guaranteed Distribution, the
Trustee shall complete a notice in the form set forth as Exhibit A to the FSA
Policy (the "Notice") and shall submit such Notice to the Fiscal Agent no later
than 12:00 noon, New York time, on the third Business Day preceding such
Distribution Date. The Notice shall constitute a claim for an Insured Payment
pursuant to the FSA Policy. Upon receipt of the Insured Payment, at or prior to
the latest time payments of the Insured Payment are to be made by the FSA
pursuant to the FSA Policy, on behalf of the Holders of the Class A
Certificates, the Trustee shall deposit such Insured Payments in the
Distribution Account and shall distribute such Insured Payments only in
accordance with Section 4.02, if applicable.
The Trustee shall receive as attorney-in-fact of each Holder of a Class A
Certificate, any Insured Payment from FSA and disburse the same to each Holder
of a Class A Certificate in accordance with the provisions of Article IV.
Insured Payments disbursed by the Trustee from proceeds of the FSA Policy shall
not be considered payment by the Trust nor shall such payments discharge the
obligation of the Trust with respect to such Class A Certificate, and FSA
84
shall become the owner of such unpaid amounts due from the Trust in respect of
such Insured Payments as the deemed assignee of such Holder and shall be
entitled to receive the FSA Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section 4.02. The
Trustee hereby agrees on behalf of each Holder of a Class A Certificate for the
benefit of FSA that it and they recognize that to the extent that FSA makes
Insured Payments, either directly or indirectly (as by paying through the
Trustee), to the Class A Certificateholders, FSA will be entitled to receive the
FSA Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section 4.02.
It is understood and agreed that the intention of the parties is that FSA
shall not be entitled to reimbursement on any Distribution Date for amounts
previously paid by it unless on such Distribution Date the Holders of the Class
A Certificates shall also have received the full amount of the Guaranteed
Distributions for such Distribution Date.
(b) The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of the FSA Policy with
respect to claims upon the FSA Policy.
(c) At the time of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall establish a separate special purpose trust account for the benefit
of Holders of the Class A Certificates referred to herein as the "FSA Account"
and over which the Trustee shall have exclusive control and sole right of
withdrawal. The Trustee shall deposit any Insured Payment made under the FSA
Policy in the FSA Account and thereafter into the Distribution Account for
distribution of such amount only for purposes of payment to Holders of the Class
A Certificates of Guaranteed Distributions for the Class A Certificates for
which a claim was made and such amount may not be applied to satisfy any cost,
expenses or liabilities of the Trustee or the Trust. Insured Payments made under
the FSA Policy shall be disbursed by the Trustee to Holders of the Class A
Certificates in the same manner as distributions on the Holders of the Class A
Certificates are made under Section 4.02. It shall not be necessary for such
distributions to be made by checks or wire transfers separate from the check or
wire transfer used to pay Guaranteed Distributions with other funds available to
make such distributions. However, the amount of any Insured Payments made on the
Class A Certificates to be paid from funds transferred from the FSA Account
shall be noted in the Certificate Register and in the statements to be furnished
to Holders of the Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof. Funds held in
the FSA Account shall not be invested by the Trustee.
(d) On any Distribution Date with respect to which a claim has been made
under the FSA Policy, the amount of any Insured Payment received by the Trustee
as a result of any claim under the FSA Policy and which is required to make
distributions on the Class A Certificates equal to Guaranteed Distributions on
the Class A Certificates on such Distribution Date, shall be withdrawn from the
FSA Account, deposited into the Distribution Account and applied directly by the
Trustee, together with all other funds to be withdrawn from the Distribution
Account, to the payment in full of Guaranteed Distributions on the Class A
Certificates. Any funds remaining in the FSA Account on the first Business Day
following a Distribution Date shall be remitted in immediately available funds
to FSA, pursuant to the instructions of FSA, by the end of such Business Day.
FSA shall have the right to inspect such records at reasonable times during
normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to the Trustee.
85
(e) The Trustee shall promptly notify FSA of any proceeding or the
institution of any action, of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge, seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under the
Bankruptcy Code (a "Preference Claim") of any distribution made with respect to
the Class A Certificates. Each Certificateholder of Class A Certificates, by its
purchase of Class A Certificates, the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee
hereby agree that FSA (so long as there is no continuing default by FSA under
its obligations under the FSA Policy) may at any time during the continuation of
any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to
such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any
appeal of any order relating to such Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of
any surety, supersedeas or performance bond pending any such appeal.
(f) The Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of the amount of
interest and principal paid in respect of any Class A Certificates from moneys
received under the FSA Policy. FSA shall have the right to inspect such records
at reasonable times during normal business hours upon one Business Day's prior
notice to the Trustee.
(g) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment with
respect to principal of or interest on any of the Class A Certificates which is
made with moneys received pursuant to the terms of the FSA Policy shall not be
considered payment of such Class A Certificates from the Trust Fund and shall
not result in the payment of or the provision for the payment of the principal
of or interest on such Certificates within the meaning of Section 4.02. The
Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee acknowledge, and each Holder
by its acceptance of a Class A Certificate agrees, that without the need for any
further action on the part of FSA, the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or
the Trustee (a) to the extent FSA makes payments, directly or indirectly, on
account of principal of or interest on the Class A Certificates to the Holders
of such Certificates, FSA will be fully subrogated to the rights of such Holders
to receive such principal and interest from the Trust Fund and (b) FSA shall be
paid such principal and interest but only from the sources and in the manner
provided herein for the payment of such principal and interest.
(h) The Trustee and the Servicer shall cooperate in all respects with any
reasonable request by FSA for action to preserve or enforce FSA's rights or
interests under this Agreement without limiting the rights or affecting the
interests of the Holders as otherwise set forth herein.
(i) All notices, statements, reports, certificates or opinions required by
this Agreement to be sent to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies or the Class A
Certificateholders shall also be sent at such time to FSA at Financial Security
Assurance, Inc., ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attn: Transaction
Oversight.
(j) FSA shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, entitled to
enforce the provisions hereof as if a party hereto.
SECTION 4.08 The Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
(a) On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its
name, in trust for the benefit of the Certificates, the Interest Rate Cap
Account. The Interest Rate Cap Account
86
shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held
separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys,
including without limitation, other moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement.
(b) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust,
will enter into the Interest Rate Cap Agreement for the benefit of the Holders
of the LIBOR Certificates. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement will be an asset of
the Trust Fund but will not be an asset of any REMIC. The Trustee shall deposit
any amounts received with respect to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement into the
Interest Rate Cap Account.
(c) The Trustee will prepare and deliver any notices required to be
delivered to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement Counterparty under the Interest
Rate Cap Agreement.
(d) The Trustee shall terminate the Interest Rate Cap Agreement
Counterparty upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Interest Rate
Cap Agreement of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge. Upon such a termination, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement Counterparty
may be required to pay an amount to the Trustee in respect of market quotations
for the replacement cost of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
(e) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute amounts on
deposit in the Interest Rate Cap Account to the holders of the LIBOR
Certificates to the extent of any Basis Risk Shortfall and prior to making any
distributions pursuant to Section 4.02(d) F. through I. Amounts withdrawn from
the Interest Rate Cap Account to pay Basis Risk Shortfall to the LIBOR
Certificates on any Distribution Date, shall be distributed pro rata among such
classes based on the respective amounts of Basis Risk Shortfall.
(f) Funds in the Interest Rate Cap Account may be invested in Eligible
Investments by the Trustee at the direction of the Depositor maturing on or
prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date. The Trustee shall account for
the Interest Rate Cap Account as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of
Treasury regulation 1.860G-2(h) and not an asset of any REMIC created pursuant
to this Agreement. The Trustee shall treat amounts paid by the Interest Rate Cap
Account as payments made from outside the REMIC's for all Federal tax purposes.
Any net investment earnings on such amounts shall be payable to the Depositor.
The Depositor will be the owner of the Interest Rate Cap Account for federal tax
purposes and the Depositor shall direct the Trustee in writing as to the
investment of amounts therein. In the absence of such written direction, all
funds in the Interest Rate Cap Account shall remain univested. The Trustee shall
have no liability for losses on investments in Eligible Investments made
pursuant to this Section 4.08(f) (other than as obligor on any such
investments). Upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the
Interest Rate Cap Account shall be distributed to the Depositor.
(g) On the Distribution Date immediately after the Distribution Date on
which the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the LIBOR Certificates equals
zero, any amounts on deposit in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement not payable on
the LIBOR Certificates shall be distributed to the Depositor.

individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the
authentication and delivery of any such Certificates or did not hold such
offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any
benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears
on such certificate a Certificate of Authentication in the form provided herein,
executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such authentication upon any
Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates
shall be dated the date of their countersignature. On the Closing Date, the
Trustee shall authenticate the Certificates to be issued at the written
direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.
The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee on a
continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate transfers.
SECTION 5.02 Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.06, a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund
in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the
registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as
herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
88
Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing
the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are
so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate, and
deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration
of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall
be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with the
Trustee's customary procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer
is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration
requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. Except in connection
with any transfer of a Private Certificate by the Depositor to any affiliate, in
the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the
Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities
Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and
such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall each certify to the
Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the form
set forth in Exhibit J (the "Transferor Certificate") and (i) deliver a letter
in substantially the form of either Exhibit K (the "Investment Letter") or
Exhibit L (the "Rule 144A Letter") or (ii) there shall be delivered to the
Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such
transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act. The
Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any
prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the
related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall
be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule
144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof
under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule
144A. The Trustee shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A
information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the
Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and
other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request
to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller and the servicer against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
89
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the
Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the
transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit M, in the case of a Private
Certificate, or Exhibit N, in the case of a Residual Certificate, to the effect
that (a) such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject
to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor a
person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement using the assets of any
such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer or (b) if the ERISA-Restricted
Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, it is
being purchased by an "insurance company general account" (as defined in Section
V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and the
acquisition and holding of the ERISA-Restricted Certificate satisfy the
requirements for exemptive relief under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60; or
(ii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for
registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, or a plan
or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of
any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other person
acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or using such plan's or
arrangement's assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of either the Trustee or the Trust
Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that the purchase or holding of
such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in a prohibited transaction
under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, will not result in the
assets of the Trust Fund being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the
Trustee or the Servicer to any obligation in addition to those expressly
undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. The transferee of an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, by its acceptance
of the Book-Entry Certificate, will be deemed to make the representation in
clauses (a) or (b) above. In the event that a representation is violated, or any
attempt to transfer to a plan or person acting on behalf of a plan or using a
plan's assets is attempted without the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of
Counsel described above, the attempted transfer or acquisition shall be void and
of no effect.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited
to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not
permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on such
Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to
such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was
registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a
Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered
on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not
register the Transfer of
90
any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required
to be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee
shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the
initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit G.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in
connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to
Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other
Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of
a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to
all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of
Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this
Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under
the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered
after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and
either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The Trustee shall be
entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual
Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it
became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a
Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and
after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall
be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted
Transferee of such Certificate.
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon
receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to
compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder
who is not a Permitted Transferee.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this
Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend
on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring
after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Seller or the
Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause
the REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the
Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust
Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring
any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any
amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished
91
to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership
of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred,
directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b)
to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is
held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a
Permitted Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred
to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the
expense of the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all
times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all
times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the
Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain
book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to
ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and
transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the
Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository;
(iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and
expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the
Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as
representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for
purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this Agreement, and requests
and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and
(vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to
indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect
participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be
made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant
or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository
Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it
represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with
the Depository's normal procedures.
If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing
that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable
to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor at its option advises the
Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the
Depository or (z) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate
Owners representing at least 51% of the Certificate Balance of the Book-Entry
Certificates together advise the Trustee and the Depository through the
Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system
through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate
Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository,
of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive,
fully-registered Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate
Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the related Class
of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the
Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive
Certificates. None of the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of
92
such instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an
adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of
Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all
references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the
Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to
the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the
Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall not by virtue of
its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party for any act or
failure to act of the Depository.
SECTION 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by it to hold it harmless, then, in the absence of
notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for
or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the
issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require
the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the
fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the
lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners.
The Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the Servicer or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of
such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this
Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer or the
Trustee or any agent of the Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.
If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing
from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate
with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement
or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication which
such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the Depositor or the Servicer
shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee
shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the
Depositor, the Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients' expense
the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the
Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and
holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by
reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the
Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.
93
SECTION 5.06 Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an
office or offices or agency or agencies in St. ▇▇▇▇, Minnesota where
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The
Trustee initially designates its Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The
Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change
in such location of any such office or agency.
94
ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR, THE SELLER AND THE SERVICER
SECTION 6.01 Respective Liabilities of the Depositor, the Seller and the
Servicer.
The Depositor, the Seller and each Servicer shall each be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and
respectively imposed upon and undertaken by them herein.
SECTION 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor, the Seller or a
Servicer.
The Depositor, the Seller and each Servicer will each keep in full effect
its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the
United States or under the laws of one of the states thereof and will each
obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in
each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to
protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the
Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Depositor, the Seller or a Servicer may be merged
or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Depositor, the Seller or a Servicer shall be a party, or any person
succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Seller or a Servicer, shall be
the successor of the Depositor, the Seller or the related Servicer, as the case
may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person with
respect to a merger or consolidation of a Servicer shall be an institution
either (i) having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 or whose deposits are
insured by the FDIC through the BIF or the SAIF, and (ii) which is a FNMA or
FHLMC approved servicer in good standing.
SECTION 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Seller, the
Servicer and Others.
(a) None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer nor any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller or the
Servicer shall be under any liability to the Certificateholders for any action
taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to
this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or any such
Person against any breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or
protect the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or any such Person from any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the
Seller, the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor, the Seller or a Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of
any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting
any matters arising hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer
shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action
that is
95
not incidental to its respective duties hereunder and which in its opinion may
involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that any of the
Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such
action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and
the rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of
such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and
liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Trust Fund.
(b) The Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and hold it harmless against
any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees
and expenses that the Trustee may sustain in any way related to the failure of
the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance
with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer immediately shall notify the
Trustee if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or
the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the prior written consent of the Trustee) the
defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith,
including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or
decree which may be entered against it or the Trustee in respect of such claim.
The Servicer shall follow any written instructions received from the Trustee in
connection with such claim. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee
promptly shall reimburse the Servicer for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to
the preceding sentence except when the claim is in any way related to the
failure of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in strict
compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 6.04 Limitation on Resignation of a Servicer.
(a) Subject to Section 6.04(b) below, the Servicer shall not resign from
the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon appointment of a
successor servicer (which may be with respect to all or a portion of the
Mortgage Loans), and receipt by the Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency
that such a resignation and appointment will not result in a downgrading of the
rating of any of the Certificates related to the applicable Mortgage Loans, or
(ii) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible
under applicable law. Any such determination under clause (ii) permitting the
resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective
until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Servicer's
responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, DLJ Mortgage Capital Inc. shall be
entitled to request that Vesta resign and appoint a successor servicer; provided
that such entity delivers to the Trustee the letter required by 6.04(a)(i)
above.
96
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
SECTION 7.01 Events of Default.
"Event of Default", wherever used herein, means any one of the following
events:
(i) any failure by the Servicer to make any deposit or payment
required pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to Advances
to the extent required under Section 4.01) which continues unremedied for a
period of three days after the date upon which written notice of such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Servicer and the
Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having not less than 25% of the
Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or
(ii) any failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any
material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of
the Servicer set forth in this Agreement, or if any of the representations
and warranties of the Servicer in Section 2.03(a) proves to be untrue in
any material respect, which failure or breach continues unremedied for a
period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure or
breach, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Servicer and the
Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having not less than 25% of the
Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates, provided, however, that in the
case of a failure that cannot be cured within 60 days, the cure period may
be extended if the Servicer can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction
of the Trustee and FSA that the Servicer is diligently pursuing remedial
action; or
(iii) failure by the Servicer to maintain, if required, its license to
do business in any jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged Property is
located; or
(iv) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, including bankruptcy,
marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the
winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against
the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force
undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(v) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling
of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the
Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(vi) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of or
commence a voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
97
(vii) the Servicer ceases to meet the qualifications of a FNMA or FHLMC
approved servicer.
Other than an Event of Default resulting from a failure of a Servicer to
make any required Advance, if an Event of Default shall occur and a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee has knowledge thereof, then, and in each and every such
case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee
may, or at the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than
51% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates, the Trustee shall by
notice in writing to the Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate
all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in
and to the related Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its
rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. If an Event of Default results from the
failure of the Servicer to make a required Advance, the Trustee shall, by notice
in writing to the Servicer and the Depositor (with a copy to each Rating
Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this
Agreement and in and to the related Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof,
other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder.
Upon receipt by the Servicer of such written notice of termination, all
authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect
to the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the
Trustee or its nominee, subject to Section 7.02. Upon written request from the
Trustee, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity
designated by the Trustee any and all documents and other instruments, place in
such successor's possession all related Mortgage Files, and do or cause to be
done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of
such notice of termination, including but not limited to the transfer and
endorsement or assignment of the related Mortgage Loans and related documents,
at the Servicer's sole expense. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee
and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer's
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including without limitation, the
transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which
shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to a Collection Account or Escrow
Account or thereafter received with respect to the related Mortgage Loans. The
Trustee shall thereupon make any Advance unless prohibited by applicable law.
The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf
of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and
other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the related Mortgage
Loans and related documents, or otherwise.
SECTION 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 7.01 of this Agreement, the Trustee shall, subject to and to
the extent provided herein, be the successor to the Servicer, but only in its
capacity as servicer under this Agreement, and not in any other, and the
transactions set forth herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and
provisions hereof and applicable law including the obligation to make Advances
pursuant to Section 4.01. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be
entitled to all funds relating to the related Mortgage Loans that the Servicer
would have been entitled to charge to a Collection Account, provided
98
that the terminated Servicer shall nonetheless be entitled to payment or
reimbursement as provided in Section 3.08(a) to the extent that such payment or
reimbursement relates to the period prior to termination of the Servicer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the
Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01, the Trustee may, if it shall be
unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making
Advances pursuant to 4.01 hereof, or if it is otherwise unable to so act,
appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does
not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating
Agency, as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or
any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer
hereunder. Any successor to the Servicer shall be an institution which is a FNMA
or FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing, which has a net worth of at
least $10,000,000, which is willing to service the related Mortgage Loans and
which executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement
accepting such delegation and assignment, containing an assumption by such
Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and
liabilities of the Servicer (other than liabilities of the Servicer under
Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to termination of the Servicer under Section
7.01 hereunder), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this
Agreement; provided that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the
Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will
not be qualified or reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation.
Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee,
unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to the
limitations described herein, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In
connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the
related Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however,
that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Servicing Fee. The Trustee
and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as
shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor
any other successor servicer shall be deemed to be in default by reason of any
failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any
portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any
duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of
the Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any
cash, information, documents or records to it.
Any successor to a Servicer shall give notice to the Mortgagors of such
change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service as servicer,
maintain in force the policy or policies that the Servicer is required to
maintain pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the Servicer,
the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and
to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of each such
Event of Default hereunder actually known to a Responsible Officer the Trustee,
unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing or waiver of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall

opinions, reports, documents. orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision
of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form
required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be
responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate,
statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or

shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the
Trustee and the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the

certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be
genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting
any matters arising hereunder;

Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or
continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the
maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing of any thereof,
(B) (other than in its capacity as successor servicer)to see to any
insurance, (C) (other than with respect to Section 8.11 hereof) to see to
the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental
charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to,

against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees and
expenses) incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating to (a)
this Agreement or the Custodial Agreement, (b) the Certificates, or (c) the
performance of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder or under the Custodial
Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the
Trustee's duties hereunder or incurred by reason of any action of the Trustee
taken at the direction of the Certificateholders. Such indemnity shall survive
the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee
hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Depositor covenants and agrees,
subject to the limitation set forth in Section 8.05(b), and except for any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee's negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct, to pay or reimburse the Trustee, for all reasonable

Certificates and (D) any other reasonable expenses incurred other than in the

entitled to payment or reimbursement for any routine ongoing expenses incurred
by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee or Paying Agent
hereunder or for any other expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Depositor shall not be obligated to pay to the Trustee more than, in the
aggregate, $150,000 pursuant to Section 8.05(a) hereof.
SECTION 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for the Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association
organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of
America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority and with a credit
103
rating which would not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce their
respective then current Ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such
security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction), as
evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency. If such corporation or association
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
proposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. 1n
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07. The entity serving as
Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor, the
Seller or the Servicer and their affiliates; provided, however, that such entity
cannot be an affiliate of the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer other than
the Trustee in its role as successor to the Servicer.
SECTION 8.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the Seller,
the Servicer and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date
specified in such notice, when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to
take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section
8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If the Trustee gives
notice of such resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor
trustee. If no successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation or removal (as provided below), the resigning or removed
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request
thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable
of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the
Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take
charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose
of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect
to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located
and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a
different trustee, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which shall
be delivered to the Trustee, one copy to the Servicer and the Seller and one
copy to the successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights
may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their
attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which shall be delivered
by the successor Trustee to the Depositor, the servicer and the Seller, one
complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so
appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating
Agency by the successor trustee.
104
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in
Section 8.08.
SECTION 8.08 Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee, the
Servicer and the Seller an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become
effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller and the
predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other
things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and
confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and
obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and its appointment shall not
adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such
notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee,
the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Depositor.
SECTION 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of the Trustee.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of
the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under
the provisions of Section 8.06 without the execution or filing of any paper or
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be
located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and
shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the
Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part
thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of
105
this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Depositor and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Depositor
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it
of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such
appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no
notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section
8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon
the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee in its capacity as
successor servicer under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the
Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by
the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being
understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to
act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the
extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular set
or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor
to a Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified
to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the applicable Trust Fund or
any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the
direction of the Trustee;
(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of
any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment
shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee
or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;
(iii) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove
any separate trustee or co-trustee; and
(iv) The Depositor, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the
payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to
any such separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed
to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and as
effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Servicer and the Depositor.
106
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee
its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
SECTION 8.11 Tax Matters.
It is intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election is
to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and
that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify
such assets as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the
Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is
hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of the REMICs and that in such
capacity it shall: (a) prepare, sign and file, or cause to be prepared and
filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income
Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue
Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the
Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income
tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to each REMIC,
containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be
required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or roles, and
furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements
or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b)
within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the
Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the
Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the
holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto,
together with such additional information as may be required by such form, and
update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code;
(c) make or cause to be made elections that each group of segregated assets be
treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if
necessary, under applicable state law) and apply for an employee identification
number from the IRS via a Form SS-4 or any other acceptable method for all tax
entities; (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the
Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state
tax authorities, all information returns and reports as and when required to be
provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without
limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment
Assumption; (e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed
on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a
Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted
Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing
and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such
tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters
relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as
to maintain the status of any REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g)
not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that
would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any REMIC hereunder; (h) pay,
from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this Section 8.11, the
amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as
described below, imposed on any REMIC hereunder prior to its termination when
and as the
107
same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee
or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate
proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding payment of such
tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) ensure
that federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed
by the Trustee or such other person as may be required to sign such returns by
the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; (j) maintain records
relating to the REMICs, including but not limited to the income, expenses,
assets and liabilities thereof and the fair market value and adjusted basis of
the assets determined on the accrual method or at such internals as may be
required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns,
schedules, statements or information; and (k) as and when necessary and
appropriate, represent any such REMIC in any administrative or judicial
proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing
authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any
REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency,
extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of any such REMIC,
and otherwise act on behalf of the REMICs in relation to any tax matter or
controversy involving it.
In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein,
the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee within ten
(10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee
requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the
valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without
limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of
the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide
to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor any such additional
information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request
in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. DLJMC
hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or
expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of the
Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to
be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely basis.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any
REMIC as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from
foreclosure property" of any REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on
any contribution to the REMICs after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d)
of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any
minimum tax imposed upon the REMICs pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the
California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for
herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises
out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under
this Agreement, (ii) the Seller, in the case of any such minimum tax, if such
tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Seller of any of its
obligations under this Agreement or (iii) the Seller, if any such tax arises out
of or results from the Seller's obligation to repurchase a related Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event
that the Trustee or the Seller fails to honor its obligations under the
preceding clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) or the Servicer fails to honor its
obligations pursuant to Section 8.15, any such tax will be paid with amounts
otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section
3.11(b).
The Trustee shall treat the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and Interest Rate Cap
Account as outside reserve funds within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
1.860G-2(h) that are owned by
108
the Class X Certificateholder and the Depositor, respectively, and that are not
assets of any REMIC. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the Class A, Class
M-1, Class M-2, and Class B Certificateholders to receive payments from the
Basis Risk Reserve Fund and the Interest Rate Cap Account as rights in an
interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholder and the
Depositor, respectively in favor of the Class A (other than the Class A-IO),
Class M-1, Class M-2, and Class B Certificateholders. Thus, each Certificate
other than the Class A-IO, Class X, Class P and the Class R Certificates shall
be treated as representing ownership of not only REMIC Regular Interests, but
also ownership of an interest in multiple interest rate cap contracts. For
purposes of determining the issue price of the REMIC Regular interests, the
Trustee shall assume that the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and the Interest Rate Cap
Account has a value of $5,000 and $5,000, respectively.
The Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any
action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the
status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each
other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the
Master Servicer nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall take any
action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or
fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken
or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC as
a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but
not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section
860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d)
of the Code) (either such event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee
and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of
the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated
action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax.
Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes
imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental
authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual
Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of
current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual
Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of other
amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise
payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC.
The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and
records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on
an accrual basis.
The Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification Number from the
Internal Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for all tax
entities.
SECTION 8.12 Periodic Filings.
The Trustee shall, on behalf of the Trust, cause to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission any periodic reports required to be filed
under the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder. In
connection with the preparation and filing of such periodic reports, the
Depositor and the Servicer shall, upon the written request of the Trustee,
timely
109
provide to the Trustee all material information reasonably available to them
which is requested by the Trustee for the purpose of being included in such
reports. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to
properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the
Trustee's inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its
own negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 8.13 Trust Obligations.
For all purposes herein, any and all rights, duties and obligations of the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be the rights, duties and obligations of
the Trust itself.
SECTION 8.14 Determination of Certificate Index.
On each Interest Determination Date, the Trustee shall determine the
Certificate Index for the Accrual Period and inform the Servicer of such rate.
SECTION 8.15 Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of
REMIC Status.
In the event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status
as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited
transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the
negligent performance by a Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth
herein, that Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and the Trust Fund against any
and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses ("Losses") resulting
from such negligence; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable
for any such Losses attributable to the negligence of the Trustee, the Depositor
or the Holder of such Class R Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such
Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Class R
Certificate on which the Servicer has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed
to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Class R
Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, in no event shall the Servicer have any liability (1) for
any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with
the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this
Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance
by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any
special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment
of principal and interest on the Certificates).

TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01 Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of the Mortgage
Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 9.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee created hereunder with
respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase
by Vesta of all Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) remaining at the price equal
to the sum of (i) 100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan
(other than in respect of REO Property) plus one month's accrued interest
thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate and (ii) with respect to any REO
Property, the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as
determined by the higher of two appraisals completed by two independent
appraisers selected by the Depositor at the expense of the Depositor and (y) the
Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, in
each case and related to any REO Property, in each case plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate and (iii) any unreimbursed
Advances, Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees payable to the other Servicer
which shall be entitled to withdraw such amounts from the applicable Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.09(a) and (b) the later of (i) the maturity or
other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and
(ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be
distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the trusts
created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
survivor of the descendants of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the late Ambassador of the
United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof. The right
to repurchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to clause (a) above
shall be conditioned upon the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans, at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating less than ten percent of
the Aggregate Collateral Balance as of the Cut-off Date.
(b) If Vesta elects to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(a)
above, the other Servicer shall retain all servicing rights with respect to the
Mortgage Loans serviced by it. Vesta and the other Servicer shall enter into a
servicing agreement mutually acceptable to such parties, pursuant to which the
other Servicer shall continue to service and administer such Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent
mortgage loan servicers which service such mortgage loans.
SECTION 9.02 Final Distribution on the Certificates.
If on any Determination Date, the Trustee determines that there are no
Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other
than the funds in the Collection Accounts and Certificate Account, the Trustee
shall promptly send a final distribution notice to each Certificateholder. If
Vesta elects to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01, at least 20
days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the affected
Certificateholders, Vesta shall notify the other Servicer and the Trustee of the
date it intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase
price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
111
Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution
Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of
the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee
by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th day and not
later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final
distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which
final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and
surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of
such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such
presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made
only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein
specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time
such notice is given to Certificateholders.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall
cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in each case on
the final Distribution Date in proportion to their respective Percentage
Interests, with respect to Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal
to (i) as to each Class of Offered Certificates, (A) first to the Senior
Certificates, and then to the Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B Certificates
sequentially, in that order, an amount equal to the Class Principal Balance
thereof plus Current Interest and any Carryforward Interest and (B) to the
extent of available funds (other than funds described in clause (ii) below)
after the distributions in clause (i)(A) above, the amounts referred to and in
the order described in Section 4.02(d)B-H, (ii) as to the Class P Certificates,
the aggregate amount, if any, of all Prepayment Premiums for Vesta Serviced
Loans which remain on deposit in the Collection Accounts and the Certificate
Account and (iii) as to the Class X Certificates, the amount due to the Class X
Certificate under this agreement, not paid (but in no way exceeding the amount
in the Collection Account).
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender
Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the
above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice
to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take reasonable and
appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take reasonable and appropriate
steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other
assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the
second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Class R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and
other assets of the Trust Fund which remain subject hereto and the Trustee shall
be discharged from all further liability with respect to the Certificates and
this Agreement.
SECTION 9.03 Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event Vesta exercises its purchase option with respect to the
Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 9.01, at such time as the Mortgage Loans
are so purchased, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the
following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been provided with an
Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of Vesta , to the effect
112
that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.03 will not
(i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" on any REMIC
as defined in Section 860E of the Code, or (ii) cause any REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
(1) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date set forth
in the notice given by the Trustee under Section 9.02, the Depositor
shall prepare and the Trustee shall adopt a plan of complete
liquidation within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code
which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall not
be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), meets the
requirements of a qualified liquidation;
(2) Within 90 days after the time of adoption of such a plan of
complete liquidation, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the
Trust Fund to the Depositor for cash in accordance with Section 9.01;
and
(3) On the date specified for final payment of the Certificates,
the Trustee shall, after payment of any unreimbursed Advances,
Servicing Advances, Servicing Fees or other fee compensation payable
to the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, make final distributions
of principal and interest on the Certificates in accordance with
Section 4.02 and distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or
credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash on hand
after such final payment (other than the cash retained to meet
claims), and the Trust Fund (and each REMIC) shall terminate at that
time.
(b) The Trustee as agent for each REMIC hereby agrees to adopt and sign
such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written request of the Depositor,
and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 9.03(a)(1) and
to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested
by the Depositor.
(c) By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby
authorize the Depositor to prepare and the Trustee to adopt and sign a plan of
complete liquidation.
113
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01 Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Servicers, the Seller and the Trustee without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct any
defective provision herein or to supplement any provision herein which may be
inconsistent with any other provision herein, (iii) to add to the duties of the
Depositor, the Seller or the Servicers, (iv) in connection with the appointment
of a successor Servicer, to modify, eliminate or add to any of the servicing
provisions contained in this Agreement, providing the Rating Agencies confirm
the then current rating of the Certificates giving effect to such amendment, (v)
to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising
hereunder or (vi) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or
provisions contained in this Agreement; and, provided, further, that any action
pursuant to clauses (v) or (vi) above shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the
Trust Fund, but shall be at the expense of the party proposing such amendment),
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;
provided, however, that no such Opinion of Counsel shall be required if the
Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating
that the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the
respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates (without regard to the FSA
Policy). The Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer also may at any
time and from time to time amend this Agreement without the consent of the
Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such
extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the qualification of any
REMIC as a REMIC under the Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the
imposition of any tax on any REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at
any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with
any other requirements of the Code; provided, that the Trustee has been provided
an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting
such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust
Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable,
(i) maintain such qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the
imposition of such a tax or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, FSA's written consent shall be required for
any amendment that adversely affects in any respect the rights and interest of
FSA hereunder.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of each
Class of Certificates affected thereby evidencing 66% of the aggregate Class
Principal Balance of such Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or
delay the timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate
without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, or (ii) reduce the
aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of
114
which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the
Holders of all such Certificates then outstanding.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall
not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first
received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense of the
Trustee or the Trust Fund, but shall be at the expense of the party requesting
such amendment, to the effect that such amendment will not cause the imposition
of any tax on any REMIC or the Certificateholders or cause any REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring
the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each
Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this
Section 10.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an
amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an
expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee that (i)
such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all
requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and (ii)
either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the
immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this
Section 10.01. The Trustee shall have no obligation to consent to any amendment
that it reasonably believes will materially and adversely affect its rights or
immunities under this Agreement.
SECTION 10.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
This Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices
for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions
in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and
in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation
to be effected by the Depositor at its expense, but only upon direction by the
Trustee (acting at the direction of holders of Certificates evidencing a
majority of the aggregate Class Principal Balance) accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel (at the Depositor's expense) to the effect that such recordation
materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein
provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously
in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be
an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.

SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO

OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
SECTION 10.04 Intention of Parties.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the
Trust Fund, including the Mortgage Loans, by the Depositor to the Trustee be,
and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof. It is, further, not the intention
of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge thereof. However, in the
event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to
be the property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is
held or deemed to create a security interest in either such assets, then (i)
this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of
the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance
provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant
by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a
security interest in all of the assets transferred, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired.
The Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall, to the
extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to
ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the
Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security
interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such
throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for filing any
Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security
interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders.

4. Any notice of a purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02,
2.03 or 3.11.
All directions, demands and notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be deemed to have been duly given when delivered to (a) in the case of the
Depositor, 1l Madison Avenue, 4th Floor, New York, New York 10010, Attention:

shall be deemed given when mailed, first class postage prepaid, to their
respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
SECTION 10.06 Severability of Provisions.
If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of
this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the
remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall
in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this
Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.
SECTION 10.07 Assignment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as
provided in Sections 6.02 and 6.04, this Agreement may not be assigned by the
Servicer without the prior written consent of the Trustee and Depositor.
SECTION 10.08 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate this Agreement or the trust created hereby, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or
winding up of the trust created hereby, or otherwise affect the rights,
obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
117
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided
herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the
Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein
set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so as to
constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an
association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third
party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to
any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself
of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding
in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of an Event
of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and unless the
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights
evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to the
Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee
hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it
may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein
or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any
such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or
themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek
to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any
right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the
common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of
the provisions of this Section 10.08, each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.

It is the intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall not be
personally liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests in the
Trust Fund represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any reason
whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by the
Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed fully paid.

118

(herein collectively called the "Certificates"), and representing a beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that
it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Certificate Account for
payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders
for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as
expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations
of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on
the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the
applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be
distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate
belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date
applicable to each Distribution Date is (1) with respect to all Definitive
Certificates, the last day of the calendar month preceding the month in which
such Distribution Date occurs and (2) with respect to all Certificates held in
Book-Entry Form only, the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution
Date.
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder
shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days
prior to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the
conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if
not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such

distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or
such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such
final distribution.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any
time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing
the requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the Agreement. Any such
consent by
A-5
the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued
upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or
not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by
the Trustee in St. ▇▇▇▇, Minnesota, accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder's attorney duly authorized
in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates
are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller, and the Trustee and any agent of
the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of
the Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee or any such agent shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the Aggregate Loan Balance as of the
Cut-off Date and the amount on deposit in the Prefunding Account on the
Closing Date, Vesta will have the option to repurchase, in whole, from the
Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect
of the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the
Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the
obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon
the later of the maturity or other liquidation (or any advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the
disposition of all property in respect thereof and the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed pursuant to the
Agreement. In no event, however, will the trust created by the Agreement
continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor
of the descendants living at the date of the Agreement of a certain person
named in the Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on

subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a person
acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or using the assets of any
such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer, which representation letter
shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, (ii) if the

STATE OF )
) ss.:
COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of ______________, the proposed
Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate (the
"Certificate") issued pursuant to Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of
the Cut-off Date specified above (the "Agreement") among the Depositor, DLJ
Mortgage Capital, Inc., as seller (in such capacity, "Seller"), Vesta
Servicing L.P., as servicer and special servicer ("Vesta"), Ocwen Federal Bank
FSB ("Ocwen" and together with Vesta, the "Servicers") and U.S. Bank National
Association as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used, but not
defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to
such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to
make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee.
2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date
of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate either (i) for its own account or (ii)
as nominee, trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an
affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit.
The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax
will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not
Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if
such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and
(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability
for the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit
that such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of
Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be
imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any time
during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The
Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an
affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the
pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is
false. (For this purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated
investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a
partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as may be
provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in pass-through
entities as a nominee for another Person.)
J-1
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the
Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference)
and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership
Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on
subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and
mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide
by the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the restrictions
noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees
that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the
Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person
to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth as EXHIBIT J to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate") to
the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to
which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
Certificate.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is [_____________].
9. The Transferee is a United States Person.
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a "noneconomic
residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the
income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the
transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
11. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to
ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, and the
Transferee is not acting on behalf of such a plan.

State or political subdivision thereof, or any agency or instrumentality of
any of the foregoing, (ii) a foreign government, International Organization or
any agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, (iii) an

conduct of a trade or business within the United States or a trust if a court
within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the
