law (and, if applicable, state law), in order that the segregated pool of
assets, consisting of Mortgage Assets and certain other related assets subject
to this Agreement, be treated for federal (and, if applicable, state) income tax
purposes as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a "REMIC"), and such
segregated pool of assets will be designated as the "Lower-Tier REMIC". Seven
uncertificated partial undivided beneficial ownership interests in the assets of
the Lower-Tier REMIC (collectively, the "Uncertificated Regular Interests") will
be the "regular interests" in the Lower-Tier REMIC, and the Class R-LT
Certificates will be the sole class of "residual interests" in the Lower-Tier
REMIC, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The segregated pool of assets
consisting of the Uncertificated Regular Interests will be designated as the
"Upper-Tier REMIC", and the Trustee will make, or cause to be made, a separate
REMIC election with respect thereto. The Class I-A, Class I-B, Class I-C and
Class I-D Certificates (collectively, the "Sub-Pool I Certificates"), the Class
II-A, Class II-B and Class II-C Certificates (collectively, the "Sub-Pool II
Certificates"), the Class I-XS Certificates and the Class II-XS Certificates
will be the "regular interests" in the Upper-Tier REMIC, and the Class R-UT
Certificates will be the sole class of "residual interests" in the Upper-Tier
REMIC, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions; provided, however, that the portion
of the Sub-Pool II Certificates consisting of the Contract Rights (as defined in
Section 1.01) shall not be designated as REMIC regular interests.

Certificates, of any Uncovered Portion of the related Class Balance), all of the
Voting Rights allocated to the Class I-XS and Class II-XS Certificates shall be
allocated among such Certificates in proportion to the respective Notional
Amounts thereof. Voting Rights allocated to a Class of Certificates shall be
allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage
Interests evidenced by such Certificates.
"Weighted Average Effective Net Mortgage Rate": With respect to a
particular Sub-Pool and any Distribution Date, the weighted average, expressed
as a percentage and rounded to five decimal places, of the respective Effective
Net Mortgage Rates for the Mortgage Assets and REO Loans in such Sub-Pool for
such Distribution Date, weighted on the basis of the respective Stated Principal
Balances of such Mortgage Assets and REO Loans outstanding immediately prior to
such Distribution Date.
Section 1.02. Determination of LIBOR.
With respect to each Distribution Date (other than with respect to the
initial Distribution Date), the Trustee will determine LIBOR by obtaining the
quoted offered rate for one-month United States dollar deposits with leading
banks in the London market that appears as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the
display page designated as page 3750 on the Telerate monitor on the related
LIBOR Adjustment Date.
In the event LIBOR ceases to be available as described above, the
Trustee shall select such other source as the Trustee determines is the most
satisfactory alternative available under the circumstances.
-61-
Notwithstanding the foregoing, LIBOR for a LIBOR Adjustment Date shall
not be based on LIBOR for the previous LIBOR Adjustment Date for two consecutive
LIBOR Adjustment Dates. If, under the priorities described above, LIBOR for a
LIBOR Adjustment Date would be based on LIBOR for the previous LIBOR Adjustment
Date for the second consecutive LIBOR Adjustment Date, the Trustee shall select
an alternative index (over which the Trustee has no control) used for
determining lending rates that is calculated and published (or otherwise made
available) by an independent third party.
The establishment of LIBOR or such alternative index by the Trustee on
any LIBOR Adjustment Date, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and
binding.
Section 1.03. Allocations of Negative Amortization and Certain
Shortfalls.
Allocations of shortfalls in available funds attributable to Aggregate
Negative Amortization, Net Aggregate Relief Act Shortfalls, or Negative
Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls will be effected according to the
priority of payments set forth in the provisions of Section 4.01. Aggregate
Negative Amortization with respect to a Sub-Pool shall be allocated first to the
Corresponding Stripped Interest Class and then to the remaining Corresponding
Classes in reverse alphabetical order by (i) decreasing the Distributable
Interest payable in respect of each such Class on such Distribution Date and
(ii) in the case of a Stripped Interest Certificate, crediting it with deferred
interest, and in the case of other Classes, increasing the Class Balance of each
such Class by a like amount. Interest not paid on a Class (other than a Stripped
Interest Class) as a result of Negative Amortization shall be added to the
principal balance of that Class and shall bear interest at the applicable
Certificate Rate. Interest not paid on a Stripped Interest Class as a result of
Negative Amortization and other shortfalls (other than Basis Risk Shortfalls) in
interest on a Class of Sub-Pool Certificates for a Distribution Date shall be
deferred interest which shall not bear interest.
Basis Risk Shortfalls not paid on the Sub-Pool II Certificates on a
Distribution Date will not be deferred and will not be distributable on future
Distribution Dates. Basis Risk Shortfalls on any Distribution Date will be
allocated among such classes of Sub-Pool II Certificates having Pass-Through
Rates then in excess of the Weighted Average Effective Net Mortgage Rate of Sub-
Pool II, pro rata, based on the applicable shortfall for each such class, which
--------
for any such class on any Distribution Date is equal to interest accrued on such
class for such Distribution Date at a rate equal to the excess of the Pass-
Through Rate thereon over the Weighted Average Effective Net Mortgage Rate of
Sub-Pool II.
Section 1.04. Discounting Methodology.
All present value calculations with respect to Discounted Mortgage
Assets shall be discounted on a monthly basis at a rate equal to (x) 7.25% per
annum in the case of a Mortgage Loan that was a Discounted Mortgage Asset as of
the Cut-off Date or (y) the Projected Net Mortgage Rate in the case of any Fixed
Rate Mortgage Asset that becomes a Discounted Mortgage Asset following the Cut-
off Date. The "principal portion" of any Scheduled Payment due on any Discounted
Mortgage Asset on any Due Date therefor shall equal that portion of such
-62-
payment remaining after first applying the portion of such Scheduled Payment as
is necessary to cover interest on the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof at the
rate described in clause (x) or (y) hereof, as applicable. The "principal
portion" of any Principal Prepayment in part received on any Discounted Mortgage
Asset shall be equal to the excess of the Discounted Principal Balance of such
Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such prepayment over the present value of the
Scheduled Payments remaining immediately following such payment. For purposes of
the preceding sentence, it is assumed that each such Scheduled Payment is
reduced by a maximum Servicing Fee and Trustee's Fee, and that such Scheduled
Payments remain in effect until the earlier of (a) the date on which the
Scheduled Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan would be fully amortized on
the basis of its Projected Net Mortgage Rate and such Scheduled Payments and (b)
its respective Maturity Date. The "principal portion" of any Principal
Prepayment in full received on any Discounted Mortgage Asset shall be equal to
the Discounted Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan. All present value
calculations with respect to Discounted Mortgage Assets shall be performed by
the Servicer.
Section 1.05. Application of Residual Cash Flows.
(a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
(collectively, the "Residual Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. If the Trustee does not elect to establish and maintain a
separate Residual Account with respect to each Sub-Pool, the Trustee shall at
all times during the term hereof maintain a separate ledger sub-account of the
Residual Account for each Sub-Pool, which ledger sub-account shall accurately
reflect each deposit to and withdrawal from the Residual Account that is
allocable to such Sub-Pool. The Residual Account shall be an Eligible Account.
On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution
Account and deposit into the Residual Account the Lower-Tier REMIC Residual Cash
Flow for such Distribution Date.
(b) During each Residual Allocation Period, the Trustee shall withdraw
from the Residual Account the Lower-Tier REMIC Residual Cash Flow and apply such
amount in the following order of priority:
(i) to reimburse the Servicer for Inspection Expenses incurred during
such Residual Allocation Period;
(ii) to reduce the Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for Sub-
Pool I and Sub-Pool II for the related Distribution Date, allocated between
such Sub-Pools as described in Section 1.03;
(iii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Extraordinary Expenses, other
than Inspection Expenses, incurred during such Residual Allocation Period;
(iv) to reduce the Aggregate Relief Act Shortfalls for Sub-Pool I and
Sub-Pool II for the related Distribution Date, allocated as described in
Section 1.03; and
(v) to reduce any Credit Draw Amount for the related Distribution
Date.
-63-
(c) All amounts applied pursuant to Section 1.05(b)(iii) and (v) during any
Residual Allocation Period shall be applied prior to making a claim on the
Limited Guaranty in respect of such amounts on the related Demand Date.
(d) All amounts applied pursuant to Section 1.05(b)(ii), (iv) and (v)
during any Residual Allocation Period shall be distributed to holders of Regular
Certificates on the related Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01.

Date, each holder of each Direct Mortgage Loan and each Lead Mortgage Loan
was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which the
related Mortgaged Property is located at all times when it held such
Mortgage Loan;
(xxiii) Each Direct Mortgage Loan and each Lead Mortgage Loan is
covered by a title insurance policy issued by a Qualified Insurer, insuring
that the related Mortgage is a valid first lien (or with respect to
Mortgage Loans listed on Exhibit I, a lien of the priority identified) on
such Mortgaged Property, subject only to the exceptions stated therein, or,
with respect to each such Mortgage Loan not covered by a title insurance
policy, there exists an attorney's opinion of title given by an attorney
licensed to practice law in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property
is located that the Mortgage is a valid first lien (or with respect to
Mortgage Loans listed on Exhibit I, a lien of the priority identified) on
such Mortgaged Property (subject only to (a) the lien of current real
property taxes and assessments not yet due (and, in the case of a Junior
Lien, the applicable senior lien or liens), (b) covenants, conditions, and
restrictions, rights of way, easements, and other matters of public record
as of the date of the recording of such Mortgage, such exceptions appearing
of record and either being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions
generally or specifically referred to in the related title insurance policy
or title opinion and which do not materially and adversely affect the value
of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) other matters to which like properties
are commonly subject that do not materially interfere with the benefits of
the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage); each such title
insurance policy is in full force and effect; such title insurance policy
contains a negative amortization rider, if applicable, and contains no
exclusion for zoning, uses, encroachments and survey; neither the Mortgage
Loan Seller nor any prior mortgagee has done, by act or omission, anything
which would materially impair the coverage of any such title insurance
policy; and each such title insurance policy with respect to a Direct
Mortgage Loan or Lead Mortgage Loan is freely assignable (subject to
securing the required assignment endorsement upon payment of premium
therefor if necessary) and (subject to the recordation of the assignment of
Mortgage, the securing of the required assignment endorsement, if any, and
the payment of the required premium therefor) will inure to the benefit of
the Trustee as mortgagee of record;
(xxiv) As to each Direct Mortgage Loan and Lead Mortgage Loan, each
related Mortgaged Property is insured by a fire and extended perils
insurance policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, providing coverage against
loss or damage sustained by reason of fire, lightning, windstorm, hail,
explosion; riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, aircraft,
vehicles and smoke, and, to the extent required as of the date of
origination by the related originator consistent with its normal commercial
mortgage lending practices, against other risks insured against by persons
operating like properties in the locality of the Mortgaged Property, in an
amount not less than the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-
insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and consistent
with the amount that would have been required as of the date of origination
by the related originator in its normal commercial mortgage lending
activities with
- 74 -
respect to similar properties in the same locality; all premiums on such
insurance policy have been paid; such insurance policy requires prior
notice to the insured of termination or cancellation, and no such notice
has been received; the related Mortgage obligates the related Mortgagor to
maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor's failure to do so,
authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost
and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor;
(xxv) Except as specified in clause (xxvi) below and except for a
delinquent Balloon Payment in the case of a Matured Performing Mortgage
Loan, there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
existing under any Direct Mortgage Loan or Lead Mortgage Loan and no event
(other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of
time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration; except
for a delinquent Balloon Payment in the case of a Matured Performing
Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan Seller has not waived any material
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration with respect to a
Direct Mortgage Loan or a Lead Mortgage Loan, and, pursuant to the terms of
each Direct Mortgage Loan and each Lead Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage
or the related Mortgage Note, no Person other than the holder of such
Mortgage Note may declare an event of default or accelerate the related
indebtedness under any such Mortgage Loan;
(xxvi) As of the Cut-off Date, all Scheduled Payments due on each
Mortgage Asset on or before the Cut-off Date have been made, except as
otherwise noted on the related Mortgage Schedule; as of the Cut-off Date,
no Scheduled Payment due on any Mortgage Asset was more than 59 days
delinquent;
(xxvii) As to each Direct Mortgage Loan and Lead Mortgage Loan, all
of the terms of each Mortgage pertaining to interest rate adjustments,
payment adjustments and adjustments of the principal balance are
enforceable, such adjustments will not affect the priority of the Mortgage
lien, and all such adjustments and all calculations of interest made before
the Cut-off Date were made correctly and in full compliance with the terms
of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage;
(xxviii) As to each Direct Mortgage Loan and Lead Mortgage Loan, each
related Mortgage Note or the related Mortgage contains customary and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the
holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property
of the benefits of the security, including realization by judicial or, if
applicable, non-judicial foreclosure, and there is no exemption available
to the Mortgagor which would interfere with such right to foreclose;
(xxix) The FDIC has no intention to foreclose on any Mortgaged
Property and has no knowledge or reason to know that any Mortgage Loan will
not be paid in full;
- 75 -
(xxx) The Trustee, if not the owner of a Mortgage Asset, will have
a valid and perfected security interest of first priority in such Mortgage
Asset and the proceeds thereof;
(xxxi) Each Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage" within the
meaning of section 860G of the Code and does not contain any provision that
would render it not to qualify as a "qualified mortgage";
(xxxii) Except with respect to Mortgage Loans described in Section
2.03(d) herein, each Direct Mortgage Loan and Lead Mortgage Loan is secured
by a fee simple estate;
(xxxiii) Each Participation Interest is an ownership interest in one
or more Mortgage Loans with respect to each of which Mortgage Loans the
representations set forth in the following subparagraphs of this Section
2.03(c) are correct: (c)(viii), (c)(x), (c)(xi), (c)(xv), (c)(xvi),
(c)(xxix), (c)(xxxi), and (c)(xxxvi); it being agreed that this
representation shall not derogate any other representation in this
Agreement made by its terms with respect to either such Mortgage Loan;
(xxxiv) With respect to any Lead Participation interest the Servicer
is not required to obtain the consent of any related third-party
participant in order to commence foreclosure proceedings;
(xxxv) Each Lead Participation Interest and Non-lead Participation
Interest (i) was validly issued, (ii) represents a beneficial ownership of
a pro rata interest in a mortgage loan, (iii) is not subject to redemption
otherwise than on payment of the Underlying Mortgage Loan, (iv) does not
entitle the holder to recourse against the holder of another ownership
interest in the Underlying Mortgage Loan to recover for a loss on the
Underlying Mortgage Loan and (v) upon the insolvency of any related third-
party participant, the Trust Fund's ownership interest therein will not be
property of the estate of such third-party participant;
(xxxvi) Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at either (i) a fixed rate
or (ii) a variable rate that qualifies as a rate based on a current
interest rate within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-
1(a)(3); and
(xxxvii) There are no restrictions on the ability of the Mortgage
Loan Seller to transfer any of the Non-lead Participation Interests
(including third party rights to consent to such transfer).
(d) With respect to any Direct Mortgage Loan or Lead Mortgage
Loan that is secured in whole or in part by the interest of a Mortgagor as a
lessee under a ground lease to a Mortgaged Property (a "Ground Lease") but not
by the related fee interest in such Mortgaged Property (the "Fee Interest"), the
FDIC hereby represents and warrants that:
- 76 -
(i) Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been or will be
duly recorded; such Ground Lease permits the interest of the lessee
thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage; and there has been no
material change in the terms of such Ground Lease since its recordation,
with the exception of written instruments which are part of the related
Mortgage File;
(ii) Except as may be indicated in the related title insurance
policy or opinion of title referred to in Section 2.03(c)(xxiii) above,
such Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to,
or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other than the related Fee
Interest;
(iii) The Mortgagor's interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to
the Mortgagee upon notice to, but without the consent of, the lessor
thereunder and, in the event that it is so assigned, is further assignable
by the Mortgagee upon notice to, but without a need to obtain the consent
of, such lessor;
(iv) At the Closing Date, such Ground Lease is in full force and
effect and no default has occurred under such Ground Lease, nor is there
any existing condition which, but for the passage of time or the giving of
notice, would result in a default under the terms of such Ground Lease;
(v) Such Ground Lease requires the lessor thereunder to give notice
of any default by the lessee to the Mortgagee, provided that the Mortgagee
has provided the lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the
provisions of such Ground Lease; and such Ground Lease, or an estoppel
letter received by the Mortgagee from the lessor, further provides that no
notice of termination given under such Ground Lease is effective against
the Mortgagee unless a copy has been delivered to the Mortgagee in the
manner described in such Ground Lease;
(vi) A Mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including,
where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the
lessee under such Ground Lease) to cure any default under such Ground
Lease, which is curable after the receipt of notice of any such default
before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease;
(vii) Such Ground Lease has an original term (including any extension
options set forth therein) which extends not less than ten years beyond the
Maturity Date of the related Mortgage Loan;
(viii) Under the terms of such Ground Lease and the related Mortgage,
taken together, any related insurance proceeds other than in respect of a
total or substantially total loss or taking, will be applied either to the
repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property,
with the Mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold
and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses (except
in such cases where a provision entitling another party to hold and
disburse such
- 77 -
proceeds would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by the Mortgage
Loan Seller), or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon; and
(ix) Such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on
subletting which would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by the
Mortgage Loan Seller; and such Ground Lease contains a covenant that the
lessor thereunder is not permitted, in the absence of an uncured default,
to disturb the possession, interest or quiet enjoyment of any lessee in the
relevant portion of the Mortgaged Property subject to such Ground Lease for
any reason, or in any manner, which would materially adversely affect the
security provided by the related Mortgage.
(e) With respect to any Direct Mortgage Loan or Lead Mortgage Loan that is
secured in whole or in part by the interest of a Mortgagor under a Ground Lease
and by the related Fee Interest, the FDIC hereby represents and warrants that:
(i) Such Fee Interest is subject, and subordinate of record, to the
Mortgage; and the Mortgage does not by its terms provide that it will be
subordinated to the lien of any other mortgage or other lien upon such Fee
Interest; and
(ii) Upon occurrence of a default under the terms of the related
Mortgage by the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee has the right to foreclose upon or
otherwise exercise its rights with respect to such Fee Interest within a
period of time that would not have been viewed, as of the date of
origination, as commercially unreasonable by the Mortgage Loan Seller.
(f) It is understood and agreed that each of the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the
respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee or a Custodian, as the case may be,
until the termination of this Agreement, shall inure to the benefit of the
Trustee and the Servicer and shall be independent of each other, such that the
failure to establish a breach of a given representation and warranty with
respect to a Mortgage Loan shall not preclude the existence of another breach
with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon discovery by the Mortgage Loan Seller,
the Servicer or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee (or upon written notice
thereof from any Certificateholder) of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties that materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders, the Servicer or the Trustee in any Mortgage
Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the
other parties hereto. For purposes of the foregoing, a breach of any
representation or warranty contained in this Section 2.03 shall conclusively be
deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the
Certificateholders, the Servicer or the Trustee if a loss or expense is
incurred.
(g) In addition to the foregoing representations and warranties, the FDIC
covenants that upon receipt of notice of an action to be taken with respect to a
Non-lead Mortgage Loan that would result in the Trust Fund failing to qualify as
a REMIC, the FDIC will repurchase the related Non-lead Participation Interest at
a price equal to the Purchase Price. Such repurchase
- 78 -
shall be made as promptly as practicable, but in all events within 90 days of
the date of receipt of such notice, and shall be effective as of the date of the
disqualifying action.
(h) If the authority of the FDIC or the Mortgage Loan Seller to transfer
one or more of the Non-lead Participation Interests is challenged in any action
at law brought by a related lead participant naming any of the Trustee, the
Trust Fund, the Servicer, or the Managing Underwriters as a party defendant
thereto, then the FDIC will promptly repurchase (at the Purchase Price) from the
Trust Fund all related Non-lead Participation Interests.
Section 2.04. Remedies with respect to Defects in Mortgage Files and
Breaches of Representation and Warranty.
(a) As to a Mortgage Asset that either (i) has been the subject of a
notice in accordance with Section 2.03(f) or (ii) is listed on the Trustee's
exception report as having one or more missing or defective documents, except
for such breaches as have been cured or for such missing or defective documents
listed on the Trustee's exception report that have since been delivered to the
Trustee, and a breach of the representation and warranty set forth in Section
2.03(c)(xxx), upon notice from the Trustee or the Servicer, the FDIC shall
promptly make an indemnification payment to the Servicer, for deposit into the
Collection Account, in the amount of any loss or expense (such loss or expense,
a "Loss") incurred if there is a connection between such Loss and either (1) a
breach of one of the representations or warranties contained in Section 2.03 or
(2) one or more missing or defective documents (such Loss, a "Resulting Loss").
The obligation of the FDIC to make such indemnification payments shall be the
exclusive remedy of the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Servicer for any
breach of a representation or warranty or for a defective or missing document
required to be delivered to the Trustee or a Custodian, as the case may be,
pursuant to Section 2.01. To the extent of any such indemnification payments
made in respect of a Mortgage Asset, the FDIC shall be subrogated to the rights
of the Trust Fund to any amounts recovered on the related Mortgage Asset or the
related Mortgaged Property, provided, however, that such subrogated amounts
shall be paid only from recoveries on such Mortgage Asset or the related
Mortgaged Property in any Due Period which are in excess of the unpaid principal
balance of such Mortgage Asset together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon
at the related Mortgage Rate to the Due Date in such Due Period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the FDIC, at its option, shall have the right
upon notice to the other parties hereto to (1) cure any breach, or cause to be
delivered any missing or defective documents, with respect to any Mortgage Asset
referred to in the third preceding sentence or (2) repurchase, or cause to be
repurchased, any Mortgage Asset referred to in the third preceding sentence, in
lieu of indemnifying for any Resulting Loss, at the Purchase Price for such
Mortgage Asset and in the same manner set forth in Section 2.04(b). Any such
purchase of a Mortgage Asset shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis,
or shall be a repurchase of the related Participation Interest, as appropriate.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.04, in the
event of a breach of the representation and warranty contained in Section
2.03(c), if such breach would result in the related Mortgage Asset failing to
meet the conditions and requirements for inclusion in a trust set forth in the
Exemption or if such breach is a Qualification Defect, the FDIC will either cure
such breach or repurchase, or cause to be repurchased, the Mortgage Asset within
90 days of the Defect Discovery Date.
- 79 -
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.04, in the
event of a breach of the representation and warranty contained in Section
2.03(c)(xxix), the FDIC shall repurchase such Mortgage Asset or cause such
Mortgage Asset to be repurchased, on or prior to the date on which the Trust
Fund would otherwise acquire the related Mortgaged Property by foreclosure or
deed in lieu of foreclosure, unless the FDIC has provided the Trustee with an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the FDIC) that such Mortgaged Property
would qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8)
of the Code. In the event any claim, counterclaim or defense based upon
allegations which could constitute a breach of any of the FDIC's representations
and warranties relating to the Mortgage Assets is raised in any litigation, the
Servicer will notify the FDIC of such allegations within a reasonable time after
the Servicer becomes aware of such claim, counterclaim or defense and will give
the FDIC a reasonable opportunity to assist and consult with the Servicer in
defending such allegations or, at the option of the FDIC, at its own expense, to
conduct the defense of such allegations.
It is intended that the FDIC shall be responsible for Losses connected in
whole or in part to a breached representation referred to in the preceding
paragraph or to a defective or missing document. However, it is not intended
that a loss resulting from adverse market conditions become a Resulting Loss due
to the fortuitous breach of an unrelated representation. Accordingly, the
following shall apply in the construction of the preceding paragraph, it being
understood that a good faith standard shall be used:
(i) A Loss shall conclusively be deemed to be a Resulting Loss if
it relates to a Mortgage Asset as to which there has been a breach of the
representation and warranty in clause (iii), (xi), (xiv), (xxv), (xxvi) or
(xxx) of Section 2.03(c);
(ii) If a portion of any Loss is a Resulting Loss, the entire Loss
shall be deemed to be a Resulting Loss;
(iii) Upon notice of any Loss, the Servicer shall use its best
efforts to determine if such Loss is a Resulting Loss and shall notify the
Trustee and the FDIC thereof;
(iv) A Loss will be a Resulting Loss either if the event causing
the realization of the Loss is connected to the Mortgage Asset being
defective or if the Loss or any portion thereof is so connected; and
(v) Any Resulting Loss shall be established by an Officers'
Certificate of the Servicer setting forth the amount of such Resulting Loss
and the facts causing such Loss to be a Resulting Loss. The Trustee shall
be entitled to rely on such Officers' Certificate of the Servicer unless it
is incorrect on its face.
(b) The purchase of any Mortgage Asset pursuant to this Section
2.04 shall be effected by delivery by the FDIC of the Purchase Price therefor to
the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, together with (i) a written
certification of the amount of the Purchase Price to be paid and (ii) either (A)
a written certification that such purchase is being made
- 80 -
because the Mortgage Asset does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or (B) an Opinion of Counsel (at the
expense of the FDIC) to the effect that such purchase will not result in the
imposition of any prohibited transaction or contributions tax on either the
Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or
cause either such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificate is outstanding; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel need
not indicate that such purchase will not result in the imposition of a
prohibited transaction tax or a prohibited contributions tax if the purchase of
the Mortgage Asset is being made to prevent either REMIC from acquiring property
in foreclosure that would not qualify as "foreclosure property" within the
meaning of the REMIC Provisions ("Bad Property") or because the Mortgage Asset
is a Non-lead Participation Interest with respect to which there is reason to
believe that actions may be taken that could cause (or increase the risk of)
either REMIC to lose its REMIC status. The Trustee, upon receipt from the
Servicer of an Officers' Certificate to the effect that such deposit has been
made and either a copy of the FDIC's certification described in clause (ii)(A)
above or the Opinion of Counsel described in clause (ii)(B) above, shall release
or cause to be released to the Mortgage Asset Seller the related Mortgage File,
shall execute and deliver at the expense of the FDIC such instruments of
transfer or assignment in each case without recourse, representation or
warranty, as shall be requested by the FDIC to vest in the FDIC any Mortgage
Asset released pursuant hereto and the Trustee and the Servicer shall have no
further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage Asset.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the FDIC is advised by counsel (and
so certifies in writing to the Servicer and the Trustee) that the Opinion of
Counsel contemplated by the second preceding paragraph cannot then be rendered,
the FDIC will not be required to purchase, or cause to be repurchased, the
affected Mortgage Asset until promptly after either (i) such Opinion of Counsel
can be rendered or (ii) a material default on such Mortgage Asset has occurred
or a default in respect of payment on such Mortgage Asset is reasonably
foreseeable. Any certification delivered by the FDIC pursuant to the first
sentence of this paragraph shall summarize the reasons for the related advice
given by its counsel, unless otherwise provided in the Opinion of Counsel.
In lieu of purchasing any such Mortgage Asset as provided above, the
FDIC may cause such Mortgage Asset to be removed from the Lower-Tier REMIC (in
which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Asset) and substitute one or more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 2.04(d).
(c) Section 2.04 of this Agreement provides the sole remedies
available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders, respecting any Defect in a Mortgage File or breach of any
representation or warranty set forth in Section 2.03 hereof. Such obligations
shall be enforced by the Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. The costs and expenses incurred in enforcing such
obligations shall be an Extraordinary Expense.
- 81 -
(d) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for
Deleted Mortgage Assets made pursuant to Section 2.04(b) or 2.05(c) must be
effected prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for the
Lower-Tier REMIC.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Asset for which the FDIC substitutes a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected
by the FDIC (i) providing the Servicer with conversion data and the servicing
files and copies of the Mortgage File with respect to the Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan at least 30 days prior to the date of substitution and (ii) after
such 30 day period, delivering to the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage File for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan with all necessary endorsements thereon, together with a certificate from
an authorized representative of the FDIC providing that each such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the
Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with
such substitution. The Trustee shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within five Business Days thereafter,
review such documents as specified in the definition of Mortgage File and
deliver to the FDIC and the Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B-2, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one
-------
year of the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver to the FDIC and the
Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3 hereto with
-------
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the
Lower-Tier REMIC and will be retained by the FDIC. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Scheduled
Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Asset on or before the Due Date in the
month of substitution, and the FDIC shall thereafter be entitled to retain all
amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Asset. The
Trustee shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders
that such substitution has taken place, setting forth information with respect
to said Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, and the Trustee shall cause the
appropriate Direct Mortgage Loan Schedule to be amended to reflect the removal
of such Deleted Mortgage Asset from the terms of this Agreement and the
substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall
deliver a copy of such amended Direct Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Servicer.
Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, or Loans shall
be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, including, all
applicable representations and warranties thereof set forth in Sections 2.03(c)
and 2.05, in each case as of the date of substitution.
For any month in which the FDIC substitutes one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Assets, the Servicer
will determine the amount (the "Substitution Shortfall Amount"), if any, by
which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Assets exceeds
the aggregate of, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the
Scheduled Principal Balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together
with one month's interest on such Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable
Net Mortgage Rate or, in the case of a Discounted Mortgage Asset, the Projected
Net Mortgage Rate. On the date of such substitution, the FDIC will deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Servicer for
- 82 -
deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall
Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the Servicer of such
deposit, shall release to the FDIC the related Mortgage File or Files and shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, as shall be requested by the FDIC to vest in the FDIC (or its
designee) any Deleted Mortgage Asset released pursuant hereto.
Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, in no event shall the
FDIC substitute Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans with an aggregate Scheduled
Principal Balance in excess of 5% of the Initial Pool Balance.
In addition, the FDIC shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not
cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC, including
without limitation, any federal tax "imposed on "prohibited transactions" under
Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after the startup date"
under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the
Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate
is outstanding.
Section 2.05. Representations and Warranties as to Environmental
Matters.
(a) The FDIC hereby represents and warrants that, as of the Closing Date,
no Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Asset is affected by a Disqualifying
Condition.
(b) In the event of a breach of the foregoing representation and warranty,
on the written request of the Servicer, the FDIC shall take the action described
in subsection (c) below, provided that (i) the Mortgage Asset is at least 60
days delinquent and (ii) if the related Mortgage Loan is a Direct Mortgage Loan
or a Lead Mortgage Loan, each of the following conditions is satisfied:
(i) No Person has completed foreclosure, accepted a deed in lieu of
foreclosure or taken possession of, or taken over the operation of, the
related Mortgaged Property, and the Servicer shall have delivered to the
FDIC an Officer's Certificate as to the foregoing;
(ii) The Servicer shall have delivered to the FDIC an Environmental
Assessment (the cost of which shall be an Extraordinary Expense) indicating
the presence of a Disqualifying Condition; and
(iii) The Servicer shall provide an Officer's Certificate to the FDIC
that the Servicer has acted in compliance with the servicing standard set
forth in Section 3.01 and has not, by any action, created, caused or
contributed to a Disqualifying Condition.
(c) Upon satisfaction of the applicable foregoing conditions (unless the
FDIC shall establish that the Disqualifying Condition arose subsequent to the
Closing Date), the FDIC shall, within 60 days of receipt from the Servicer of
written notice and the above-mentioned
- 83 -
certifications, at the FDIC's option either (x) cure such Disqualifying
Condition within 90 days of the FDIC's receipt of such notice (y) repurchase, or
cause to be repurchased, the affected Mortgage Asset on a whole loan servicing-
released basis at the Purchase Price or (z) substitute for such Mortgage Asset
in accordance with the provisions of 2.04(d). Upon receipt by the Servicer from
the FDIC of the Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan, the Servicer
shall deposit such amount in the Collection Account, and the Trustee shall, upon
receipt of an Officer's Certificate certifying as to the receipt by the Servicer
of the Purchase Price and the deposit of the Purchase Price into the Collection
Account pursuant to this Section 2.05(c), release or cause to be released to the
FDIC the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver at the expense of
the FDIC such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be requested by the FDIC to vest
in the FDIC (or its designee) any Mortgage Asset released pursuant hereto and
the Trustee and the Servicer shall have no further responsibility with regard to
such Mortgage Asset.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the FDIC to cure,
repurchase or substitute as set forth in this Section 2.05(c) shall be the
exclusive remedy of the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Servicer for a
breach of the representation and warranty set forth in Section 2.05(a). Such
obligation shall be enforced by the Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. The costs and expenses incurred in enforcing such
obligations shall be an Extraordinary Expense.
Section 2.06. Issuance of Certificates Evidencing Interests in the
Lower-Tier REMIC.
The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the assets included
in the Lower-Tier REMIC. Concurrently with such assignment and in exchange
therefor, the Uncertificated Regular Interests have been created and delivered
to the Mortgage Loan Seller hereunder, and the Trustee, pursuant to the written
request of the Mortgage Loan Seller executed by an officer of the Mortgage Loan
Seller, has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the
Mortgage Loan Seller, the Class R-LT Certificates in authorized denominations.
The interests evidenced by the Class R-LT Certificates, together with the
Uncertificated Regular Interests, constitute the entire beneficial ownership of
the Lower-Tier REMIC. The rights of the Class R-LT Certificateholders and the
Upper-Tier REMIC to receive distributions from the proceeds of the Lower-Tier
REMIC in respect of the Class R-LT Certificates and the Uncertificated Regular
Interests, and all ownership interests of the Class R-LT Certificateholders and

ARTICLE III.
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE TRUST FUND
Section 3.01. Servicer to Act as Servicer.
(a) The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Assets
on behalf of the Trustee and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the
FDIC and the Certificateholders (as determined by the Servicer in its good faith
reasonable judgment, without taking into account differing payment priorities
among the Classes of Certificates but with a view toward maintaining the REMIC
status of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC) in accordance with
applicable law, the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the respective
Mortgage Assets and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, in the same
manner in which, and with the same care, prudence and diligence with which, it
services and administers commercial mortgage loans or mortgage participation
interests for other portfolios, giving due consideration to the customary and
usual standards of practice prudent institutional mortgage lenders and loan
servicers utilize with respect to mortgage assets comparable to the Mortgage
Assets and with respect to transactions similar to that contemplated by this
Agreement, and with the objective of maximization of the present value of net
cash flows generated from the Mortgage Assets and REO Properties, but without
regard to: (i) any relationship that the Servicer or any Affiliate of the
Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor; (ii) the ownership of any
Certificate by the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer; (iii) the
Servicer's obligation to make P&I Advances and Servicing Advances; (iv) the
Servicer's right to receive compensation for its services hereunder or with
respect to any particular transaction and (v) the ownership or servicing by the
Servicer for others of any other mortgage loans or properties.
Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms
of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Assets, the Servicer shall have
full power and authority, acting alone, to do or cause to be done any and all
things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem
necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Servicer, in its own name, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee, to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any
of them, any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other
documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by any Mortgage
or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged
Property and related collateral (it being herein acknowledged that the
Servicer's obligation to file financing statements and continuation statements
is limited to those Mortgage Assets for which an effective financing statement
or continuation statement is on file in the appropriate public filing office as
determined by the Servicer based solely upon a review of the Mortgage Files and
to the related collateral covered thereby or as to which it receives written
notice that such a financing statement or continuation statement may be due);
subject to Section 3.19, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or
consents to or with respect to any documents contained in the related Mortgage
File; and any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or full release or discharge,
- 86 -
subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreements, and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Assets, Mortgage Loans and
the Mortgaged Properties. The Servicer shall service and administer the Direct
Mortgage Loans and Lead Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable law and
shall provide to the related Mortgagor all reports required to be provided to
them by the related Mortgage Loan. Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall
furnish to the Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents in forms as
supplied to it by the Servicer necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer
to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall not be held liable for any negligence with
respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Servicer. The
Servicer may at its own expense (except to the extent otherwise reimbursable as
a Servicing Advance) utilize agents or attorneys-in-fact in performing any of
its servicing obligations hereunder, but no such utilization shall relieve the
Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder, and the Servicer shall remain
responsible for all acts and omissions of any such agent or attorney; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall not be deemed the attorney-in-fact of the
Servicer hereunder.
(b) The Servicer, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the
Trustee, shall use reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of the Mortgage
Loan Seller and the FDIC under this Agreement. Such enforcement, including,
without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims and the pursuit of other
appropriate remedies, shall be undertaken in such manner, to such an extent and
at such times, as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would
undertake were it the owner of the Mortgage Assets, but without regard to the
circumstances referred to in Section 3.01(a)(i)-(v). To the extent that the
Servicer is not otherwise reimbursed pursuant to Section 1.05 or pursuant to the
Limited Guaranty, the Servicer shall be entitled to reimburse itself for the
reasonable and necessary costs of such enforcement out of funds held in respect
of the applicable Sub-Pool in the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.05(a).
(c) The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by
it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including without
limitation, payment of any agents or attorneys-in-fact utilized by the Servicer
to perform its duties hereunder and the premiums for any blanket policy insuring
against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07(b)(ii)), and shall be entitled to
reimbursement therefor to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 3.06(a) and 3.18, the
relationship of the Servicer to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by
the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint
venturer, partner or agent.
(e) The Servicer shall not exercise any call option with respect to
any Mortgage Loan, other than in the event of default with respect to such loan.
- 87 -
Section 3.02. Collection of Mortgage Assets Payments.
(a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Assets, and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement
(including without limitation, the servicing standards set forth in Section
3.01(a)), follow such collection procedures as it would follow were it the owner
of the Mortgage Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may in its
discretion waive any late payment charge or penalty interest in connection with
any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan or any prepayment premium or penalty
in connection with a principal prepayment of a Mortgage Loan.
(b) All amounts collected on any Direct Mortgage Loan or Lead
Mortgage Loan in the form of payments from Mortgagors, Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds of the nature described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the
definition thereof shall be applied to amounts due and owing under the related
Mortgage Note and Mortgage (including without limitation, for principal and
accrued and unpaid interest) in accordance with the express provisions of the
related Mortgage Note and Mortgage and, in the absence of such express
provisions, in accordance with the customary practice of the Servicer in respect
of mortgage loans held for its own account. Subject to the foregoing, such
amounts shall not be applied to assumption fees and late payment charges
constituting additional servicing compensation as described in the first
sentence of Section 3.11(b) unless and until all principal and interest then due
and payable on such Mortgage Loan has been collected.
(c) All payments of principal of and interest on the Mortgage
Assets received by the Servicer prior to the Cut-off Date that are due on Due
Dates following the Cut-off Date shall be deposited in the Collection Account
and shall be remitted to the Trustee on the P&I Advance Date immediately
following the related Due Date for distribution pursuant to Section 4.01.
(d) Included in the Trust Fund are escrow accounts that have been
funded by the Mortgage Loan Seller to assure that Escrow Accounts are properly
funded. The Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts to recover from the
related Mortgage all amounts so advanced by the Mortgage Loan Seller and will
remit any such amounts to the Mortgage Loan Seller.
Section 3.03. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Escrow Accounts.
(a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
(the "Escrow Accounts"), into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and
retained. Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. Withdrawals of amounts
so collected from an Escrow Account may be made only to: (i) effect payment of
premiums, taxes, assessments and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Servicer
for any Servicing Advances; (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be
determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described
below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account; (v) remove amounts
deposited therein in error; or (vi) clear and terminate the Escrow Account at
the termination of
- 88 -
this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. As part of its servicing
duties, the Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Mortgagors interest on
funds in Escrow Accounts, to the extent required by law or the terms of the
related Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the aggregate of all interest
payable on such funds to the Mortgagors as of December 31 of each year in excess
of the amount of interest earned thereon by the Servicer as of December 31 of
such year shall be an Extraordinary Expense. Subject to the immediately
preceding sentence, funds in the Escrow Accounts may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06.
(b) The Servicer shall maintain accurate records with respect to
each Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of taxes, assessments and other
similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance
premiums payable in respect thereof. The Servicer shall obtain, from time to
time, all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums) and
shall effect payment thereof (or shall acquire insurance from some other
Qualified Insurer) prior to the applicable penalty or termination date,
employing for such purpose Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the
related Mortgage Loan. To the extent that a Mortgage Loan does not require a
Mortgagor to make payments for taxes, insurance premiums and similar items in
escrow, the Servicer shall require that any such payments be made by the
Mortgagor at the time they first become due to the extent permitted by the
Mortgage Loan.
(c) In accordance with the servicing standard of Section 3.01(a),
the Servicer shall advance as and when necessary with respect to each Mortgaged
Property all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the
payment of (i) real property taxes, assessments and other similar items that are
or may become a lien thereon and (ii) premiums on Insurance Policies, in each
instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments collected from the related
Mortgagor are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Mortgagor
has failed to pay such item on a timely basis. All such Servicing Advances shall
be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the
Mortgagors, and further as provided in Sections 3.05 and 3.16. No costs incurred
by the Servicer in effecting the payment of real property taxes and assessments
on the Mortgaged Properties shall, for the purpose of calculating distributions
to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage
Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance
shall be required to be made hereunder if such Servicing Advance would, if made,
constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The determination by the
Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any
proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate (containing the
information referred to in Section 4.03(e)) delivered to the Mortgage Loan
Seller and the Trustee no later than the Business Day following such
determination.
- 89 -
Section 3.04. Collection Account and Distribution Account.
(a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
or sub-accounts (collectively, the "Collection Account"), held on behalf of the
Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If the Servicer does
not elect to establish and maintain a separate Collection Account with respect
to each Sub-Pool, the Servicer shall at all times during the term hereof
maintain a separate ledger sub-account of the Collection Account for each Sub-
Pool, which ledger sub-account shall accurately reflect each deposit to and
withdrawal from the Collection Account that is allocable to such Sub-Pool. The
Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Servicer shall deposit or
cause to be deposited in the Collection Account, within one day of receipt (in
the case of payments by Mortgagors or other collections on the Mortgage Assets)
or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections
received or made by or on behalf of the Servicer subsequent to the Cut-off Date
(other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Assets due and
payable on or before the Cut-off Date), or payments (other than Principal
Prepayments made before November 22, 1996) received by it on or prior to the
Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Assets;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Assets (at
the Servicer's option, net of the Servicing Fee) and all Prepayment
Premiums;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in
respect of any Mortgage Loan;
(iv) all payments made by the FDIC in connection with Defects in the
Mortgage Files or breaches of its representations or warranties pursuant to
Section 2.04 and 2.05;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant
to Section 3.07(b);
(vi) any amounts paid by the Servicer or the Controlling Class R-LT
Certificateholder in connection with the purchase of all the Mortgage
Assets and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01;
(vii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.06(b) in connection with losses realized on Permitted Investments with
respect to funds held in the Collection Account;
(viii) any other amounts received by the Servicer or payable by the
Servicer that are expressly required by the terms of this Agreement to be
deposited in the Collection Account.
-90-
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall
be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, actual payments from Mortgagors in the nature of
late payment charges, default interest, Escrow Payments, charges for beneficiary
statements or demands, assumption fees, amounts collected for Mortgagor checks
returned for insufficient funds or other amounts paid by or on behalf of the
Mortgagors that the Servicer determines in accordance with the servicing
standard set forth in Section 3.01(a), not to accept for deposit in the
Collection Account need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection
Account. If the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not
required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from
the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) The Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
(collectively, the "Distribution Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. If the Trustee does not elect to establish and maintain a
separate Distribution Account with respect to each Sub-Pool, the Trustee shall
at all times during the term hereof maintain a separate ledger sub-account of
the Distribution Account for each Sub-Pool, which ledger sub-account shall
accurately reflect each deposit to and withdrawal from the Distribution Account
that is allocable to such Sub-Pool. The Distribution Account shall be an
Eligible Account. The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee each month
following the Determination Date but on or before the P&I Advance Date therein,
for deposit in the Distribution Account, an aggregate amount of immediately
available funds equal to the Available Distribution Amount for each Sub-Pool and
the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account and any
Prepayment Premiums received during the related Prepayment Period.
In addition, the Servicer shall, as and when required hereunder,
deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account:
(i) any P&I Advances;
(ii) any amounts required to be transferred from the REO Account on
any P&I Advance Date pursuant to Section 3.16(c) or 3.16(d); and
(iii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant
to Section 3.06(b) in connection with losses realized on Permitted
Investments with respect to funds held in the Distribution Account.
The Trustee shall (upon receipt) deposit in the Distribution Account
any and all amounts received by the Trustee that are required by the terms of
this Agreement to be deposited therein.
(c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may
be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth
in Section 3.06. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee of the location
of the Collection Account as of the Closing Date and of the new location of the
Collection Account prior to any change thereof. If the Distribution Account is
located elsewhere than at the Corporate Trust Office, the Trustee
-91-
shall give notice to the Servicer of the location of the Distribution Account as
of the Closing Date and shall notify the Servicer in any event of the new
location of the Distribution Account prior to any change thereof.
Section 3.05. Permitted Withdrawals From the Collection Account.
(a) With respect to each Sub-Pool the Servicer may, from time-to-time,
make withdrawals from the Collection Account for any of the following purposes
(the order set forth below not constituting an order of priority for such
withdrawals):
(i) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account
the amounts required to be so deposited pursuant to the fourth sentence of
Section 3.04(b), or that may be withdrawn in respect of such Sub-Pool
pursuant to Section 4.03(c);
(ii) to reimburse itself or the Trustee for xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances
made in respect of such Sub-Pool, the Servicer's and the Trustee's right to
reimbursement pursuant to this clause (ii) being limited to amounts
attributable to Late Collections (at the Servicer's option with respect to
reimbursements to the Servicer, net of the related Servicing Fees) of
Scheduled Payments on the particular Mortgage Assets with respect to which
such P&I Advances were made;
(iii) to reimburse itself for unpaid Servicing Fees, Resolution Fees
and other expenses payable pursuant to Section 3.19(c) and 3.19(d)
allocable to the related Sub-Pool, and to reimburse itself or the Trustee
for unreimbursed Servicing Advances made in respect of, such Sub-Pool, the
Servicer's (or the Trustee's) right to reimburse itself pursuant to this
clause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Asset being limited to related
Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds and, in the case of the
Resolution Fee, from other collections on the related Mortgage Asset, and,
if the Trustee so elects under Section 8.05, to pay to the Trustee any
unpaid Trustee's Fees;
(iv) to pay itself any Liquidation Fee to which it is entitled in
connection with the liquidation of a Defaulted Mortgage Asset, a Mortgaged
Property securing a defaulted Mortgage Loan or a REO Property that is
included in such Sub-Pool, the Servicer's right to pay itself pursuant to
this clause (iv) with respect to any Mortgage Asset being limited to
related Liquidation Proceeds;
(v) to pay for costs and expenses incurred by the Trust Fund pursuant

3.17(a) that are allocable to such Sub-Pool;
(vi) to pay (A) itself, the FDIC or the Mortgage Loan Seller, as the
case may be, any amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.03 that are

(viii) to reimburse itself or the Trustee for Nonrecoverable P&I
Advances and Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances made in respect of such Sub-
Pool;
(ix) at the direction of the Trustee, to pay any and all federal,

transactions that are allocable to such Mortgage Sub-Pool, to the extent
that the Servicer and the Trustee are not liable therefor pursuant to
Section 10.01(h);
(x) to pay for the cost of an Independent MAI-appraiser retained
pursuant to Section 3.18(d) that is allocable to such Sub-Pool;
(xi) to pay for (A) the cost of the Opinions of Counsel
contemplated by Sections 3.09(b)(ii), 3.16(a), 3.19(a), 3.19(b) and (c)
that is allocable to such Sub-Pool, (B) the portion of the cost that is
allocable to such Sub-Pool of the Opinions of Counsel contemplated by
Section 11.01(a) or (c) in connection with amendments to this Agreement
requested by the Servicer or the Trustee, but only in such cases as
permitted by Section 11.01(g), and (C) the cost that is allocable to such
Sub-Pool of recording this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.02;
(xii) at such time as it reimburses itself or the Trustee for (A)

including, without limitation, any expenses arising out of the enforcement
of the indemnification or repurchase obligation, each such Person's right
to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (xiii) with respect to any
Mortgage Asset being limited to that portion of the Purchase Price paid for
such Mortgage Asset that represents such expense in accordance with clause
(iv) of the definition of Purchase Price or the cost of enforcing such
indemnification obligation, as the case may be;
(xiv) to pay to the Trustee any unpaid fees and expenses;
(xv) to reimburse itself for Extraordinary Expenses not covered
pursuant to Section 1.05(b) or (c); and
-93-
(xvi) to clear and terminate the Collection Account at the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any of the
amounts referred to above are Extraordinary Expenses, the Servicer shall first
require that such amounts be paid from the Limited Guaranty or pursuant to
Section 1.05, as required hereunder, to the extent of available funds, and only
thereafter shall such Extraordinary Expenses be withdrawn from the Collection
Account pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 3.05.
(c) The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting
records, on a Mortgage Asset by Mortgage Asset and a Sub-Pool by Sub-Pool basis,
for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account
pursuant to subclauses (ii) - (vi), (viii), (ix) and (xi) of Section 3.05(a).
Section 3.06. Investment of Funds in the Escrow Accounts, the
Collection Account, the Distribution Account and the
REO Account.
(a) The Servicer may in writing direct any depository institution
maintaining the Escrow Accounts, the Collection Account, the REO Account or the
Trustee with respect to the Distribution Account and Residual Accounts (each
such account, for purposes of this Section 3.06, an "Investment Account") to
invest the funds held therein in one or more Permitted Investments bearing
interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no
later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next succeeding date on
which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this
Agreement, if a Person other than the depository institution maintaining such
account is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the next succeeding date
on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to
this Agreement, if the depository institution maintaining such account is the
obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity,
unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account
shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such). The
Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall maintain continuous possession of any
Permitted Investment in the Escrow Accounts, the Collection Account and REO
Account that is either (i) a "certificated security", as such term is defined in
the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction (the "UCC"), or (ii)
other property in which a secured party may perfect its security interest by
possession under the UCC or any other applicable law. Possession of any such
Permitted Investment by the Servicer shall constitute possession by a person
designated by the Trustee for purposes of Section 8-313 of the UCC and
possession by the Trustee, as secured party, for purposes of Section 9-305 of
the UCC and any other applicable law; provided, however, that the Trustee shall
not be responsible, as bailee or otherwise, for Permitted Investments held by
the Servicer. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at
any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Servicer
shall:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder,
demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted
Investment may otherwise
-94-
mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then
payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such
date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon
determination by the Servicer that such Permitted Investment would not
constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit
in the Investment Account.
(b) All income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in
the Escrow Accounts (subject to the fourth sentence of Section 3.03(a)), the
Collection Account, the Distribution Account or the REO Account shall be for the
sole and exclusive benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its
withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.03, Section 3.05 or 3.16, as the case
may be, and, if held in the Distribution Account shall be remitted by the
Trustee to the Servicer on each Distribution Date. The Servicer shall deposit
in the Escrow Accounts, the Collection Account, the Distribution Account or the
REO Account, as the case may be, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of
any such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or
if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted
Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.02, upon the request of
Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of any
Class of Regular Certificates affected thereby, shall take such action as may be
appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate proceedings; provided, however, that if the
Servicer shall have deposited in the Escrow Accounts, the Collection Account,
the Distribution Account or the REO Account, as the case may be, an amount equal
to all amounts due under any such Permitted Investment (net of anticipated
income or earnings thereon that would have been payable to the Servicer as
additional servicing compensation), the Servicer shall have the sole right to
enforce such payment or performance, and the Trustee shall deliver to the
Servicer the certificate or other instrument evidencing such investment together
with any necessary document of transfer.
Section 3.07. Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions
and Fidelity Coverage.
(a) The Servicer on behalf of the Trustee as mortgagee shall maintain
or cause the related Mortgagor (if permitted by the related Mortgage Note) to
maintain for each Direct Mortgage Loan and Lead Mortgage Loan fire and hazard
insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property with a
Qualified Insurer in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the
current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the then current
replacement cost of the improvements that are a part of such property (less a
reasonable deductible). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the maintenance of
such amount of fire and hazard insurance is insufficient, in the Servicer's
judgment, to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause, then the Servicer
shall maintain or require the related Mortgagor to maintain such greater amount
of insurance sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause.
The cost of any such insurance, if not borne by the Mortgagor, shall be an
-95-
Extraordinary Expense. If any loss which is of a type which is or which would
have been covered under any such policy occurs, the Servicer will deposit in the
Collection Account from its own funds an amount equal to the lesser of such loss
and, so long as any recovery has been obtained under such insurance, the amount
equal to any reduction in recovery under a fire and hazard insurance policy
required to be maintained under the first sentence of this Section 3.07(a)
(regardless of when the reduction in recovery occurred), provided (i) such
reduction in recovery results from the application of a co-insurance clause in
such policy, and (ii) if the proceeds of such policy were applied to the
restoration and repair of the related Mortgaged Property, such property was not
restored to its condition as of the Closing Date, reasonable wear and tear
excepted, because of such reduction in recovery. To the extent that amounts are
available in the REO Account or are required to be advanced by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.17, the Servicer shall cause to be maintained fire and
hazard insurance with a Qualified Insurer with extended coverage on each REO
Property in an amount (less a reasonable deductible) which is at least equal to
the greater of (i) an amount not less than is necessary to avoid the application
of any co-insurance clause contained in the related fire and hazard insurance
policy and (ii) the replacement cost of the improvements which are a part of
such property. The Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect to each
REO Property public liability insurance with a Qualified Insurer providing such
coverage against such risks as the Servicer determines, consistent with the
servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01(a), to be in the best interests of
the Trust Fund. Any Insurance Proceeds received by the Servicer shall be
deposited into the Collection Account. It is understood and agreed that no
earthquake or other additional insurance other than flood insurance is to be
required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained by the Servicer, other than
pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage and pursuant to
such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as
shall require such additional insurance. If permitted by the related Mortgage
Note or Mortgage, the Servicer may maintain, if available, or may require the
related Mortgagor to maintain other forms of insurance including but not limited
to, loss of rents endorsements, business interruption insurance and
comprehensive public liability insurance. If a Mortgaged Property or REO
Property was located at the time of origination of a Direct Mortgage Loan or a
Lead Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the
Servicer will cause the related Mortgagor to maintain or will itself obtain
flood insurance in respect thereof to the extent available. Such flood
insurance shall be in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater of (a) the
maximum amount of such insurance that can be obtained at a reasonable cost and
(b) the maximum amount of such insurance as is available for the related
property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in
which such property is located is participating in such program). The cost of
any insurance described above, if not borne by the Mortgagor, shall be payable
out of amounts available under the Limited Guaranty.
The Servicer agrees, with respect to any Direct Mortgage Loans or Lead
Mortgage Loans, to prepare and present, on behalf of the Trustee, claims under
each related insurance policy maintained pursuant to this Section 3.07(a) in a
timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy and to take such
reasonable steps as are necessary to receive payment or to permit recovery
thereunder.
-96-
All policies required hereunder shall name the Trustee as loss payee
and, to the extent available and applicable, shall contain negative amortization
endorsements.
(b)(i) If the Servicer causes the mortgagee's (or, in case of an REO
Property, the Trustee's) interest in any Mortgaged Property secured by a Direct
Mortgage Loan or Lead Mortgage Loan to be covered by a master or single interest
blanket insurance policy naming the Trustee as loss payee or an additional
insured, which policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer and provides no less
coverage, in scope and amount, for such Mortgaged Property than the insurance
coverage required to be maintained with respect to such Mortgaged Property
pursuant to Section 3.07(a), it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied
its obligations to maintain insurance with respect to the related Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 3.07(a). In the event that the Servicer shall cause any
such Mortgage Loan to be covered by such a master or single interest blanket
insurance policy after receipt of notice that a Mortgagor has failed to maintain
a fire and hazard insurance policy complying with the provisions of Section
3.07(a) for any Direct Mortgage Loan or Lead Mortgage Loan, the incremental cost
of such insurance allocable to such Mortgage Loan (i.e., other than any minimum
or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any such Mortgage Loan
is then covered thereby), if not borne by the Mortgagor, shall be an
Extraordinary Expense. In connection with its activities as Servicer hereunder,
the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and
Certificateholders, claims under any such master or single interest blanket
insurance policy which it maintains in a timely fashion in accordance with the
terms of such policy and to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to
receive payment or permit recovery thereunder.
(ii) If the Servicer obtains and maintains a blanket policy (other
than a policy described in clause (i) above) with a Qualified Insurer insuring
against fire and hazard losses on all or a significant portion of the mortgage
loans which the Servicer services, it shall conclusively be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations concerning the maintenance of insurance coverage set
forth in Section 3.07(a) with respect to the Mortgage Loans covered by such
blanket policy, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there
shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy
otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have
been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a policy had it
been maintained, immediately deposit into the Collection Account from its own
funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such
deductible clause. The incremental cost of such blanket policy allocable to the
Mortgage Loans (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such
policy whether or not any Mortgage Loan is then covered thereby) shall be an
Extraordinary Expense. In connection with its activities as Servicer hereunder,
the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and
Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy which it maintains in a
timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy and to take such
reasonable steps as are necessary to receive payment or permit recovery
thereunder.
(iii) The Servicer shall be deemed to have satisfied the provisions of
this subsection (b) if a direct or indirect parent obtains or provides any such
insurance which, by its terms, also covers the Servicer.
-97-
(c) The Servicer shall maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount
that would meet the servicing requirements of prudent institutional commercial
mortgage lenders and loan servicers. The Servicer shall be deemed to have
complied with this provision if one of its Affiliates has such fidelity bond
coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded
thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such fidelity bond shall not be
canceled without ten days' prior written notice to the Trustee. In addition,
the Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or
policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of
its officers, employees and agents in connection with its obligations to service
the Mortgage Assets hereunder with a Qualified Insurer. The Servicer shall be
deemed to have complied with this provision if one of its Affiliates has such
insurance coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy, the coverage
afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. The Servicer shall cause each and
every Sub-Servicer for it to maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and
omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such requirements. So long as
the long term debt or deposit obligations of the Servicer or its direct parent
are rated at least "Aa2" by Xxxxx'x and "AA" by Duff & Xxxxxx (if rated by Duff
& Xxxxxx), the Servicer shall be allowed to provide self-insurance with respect
to an errors and omissions insurance policy. In the event that there shall not
have been maintained an errors and omissions policy and there shall have been a
loss which would have been covered by such policy, the Servicer shall deposit in
the Collection Account the amount that otherwise would have been payable under
the policy. If the Servicer's or its direct parent's long term debt or deposit
rating falls below such standards, the Servicer will be required to obtain and
maintain an errors and omissions insurance policy pursuant to the foregoing
requirements.
Section 3.08. Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements; Subordinate Financing.
(a) With respect to each Direct Mortgage Loan or Lead Mortgage Loan
that contains a provision in the nature of a "due-on-sale" clause, which by its
terms:
(i) provides that such Mortgage Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee's
option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an
interest in the related Mortgaged Property; or
(ii) provides that such Mortgage Loan may not be assumed without the
consent of the related mortgagee in connection with any such sale or other
transfer,
then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust Fund, the
Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall exercise
any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan (x) to accelerate the
payments thereon, (y) to withhold its consent to any such sale or other transfer
or (z) to waive such "due-on-sale" clause, in a manner consistent with the
servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01(a).
(b) With respect to each Direct Mortgage Loan or Lead Mortgage Loan
that contains a provision in the nature of a "due-on-encumbrance" clause, which
by its terms:
- 98 -
(i) provides that such Mortgage Loan shall (or may at the
mortgagee's option) become due and payable upon the creation of any lien or
other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property; or
(ii) requires the consent of the related mortgagee to the creation
of any such lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property,
then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust Fund, the
Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall
exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan (x) to
accelerate the payments thereon, (y) to withhold its consent to the
creation of any such lien or other encumbrance or (z) to waive such
"due-on-encumbrance" clause, in a manner consistent with the servicing
standard set forth in Section 3.01(a).
(c) Nothing in this Section 3.08 shall constitute a waiver of the
Trustee's right, as the mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any assumption
of a Direct Mortgage Loan or Lead Mortgage Loan, any sale or other transfer of
the related Mortgaged Property or the creation of any lien or other encumbrance
with respect to such Mortgaged Property.
(d) Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.19 (and this Section
3.08 in the case of waivers described in this Section 3.08), the Servicer shall
not agree to modify, waive or amend any term of any Mortgage Loan in connection
with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section
3.08.
Section 3.09. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Assets.
(a) The Servicer shall, subject to subsections (b) through (f), and
(j), of this Section 3.09, exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the
servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01(a), to foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of
properties securing such of the Direct Mortgage Loans and Lead Mortgage Loans as
come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements
can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and which are not released
from the Trust Fund pursuant to any other provision hereof. The foregoing is
subject to the provisions that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property
securing a Direct Mortgage Loan or a Lead Mortgage Loan shall have suffered
damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall not be required to make a
Servicing Advance toward the restoration of such property unless it shall
determine in its reasonable discretion (i) that such restoration will increase
the net proceeds of liquidation of such Mortgaged Property to Certificateholders
after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses
will be recoverable by the Servicer out of the proceeds of liquidation of such
Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 3.05, 3.16 or 3.19. 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
therefor as provided in Section 3.05 or 3.16.
(b) The Servicer shall not acquire any personal property pursuant
to this Section 3.09 unless either:
- 99 -
(i) such personal property is incident to real property (within the
meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Servicer; or
(ii) the Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the
cost of which shall be an Extraordinary Expense) to the effect that the
holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund will not cause the
imposition of a tax on the Trust Fund under the REMIC Provisions or cause
the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09,
the Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, complete foreclosure
proceedings, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise, or take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if,
as a result of any such action, the FDIC, the Mortgage Loan Seller or the
Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, would be considered to hold title
to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an "owner" or "operator" of
such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA, or any comparable law, or
if, as a result of such action, the Trustee, the Mortgage Loan Seller, the FDIC,
the Trust Fund or the Servicer would be subject to liability pursuant to any
federal, state or local environmental statute, regulation or similar requirement
including but not limited to CERCLA, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act,
the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Clean Air Act, or
at common law, unless and until (as evidenced by an Officers' Certificate
delivered to the Trustee) the Servicer has determined in accordance with the
servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01(a), based on an Environmental
Assessment report prepared by an Independent Person who is qualified to make
such Environmental Assessment, that:
(i) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws in all material respects; and
(ii) there are no circumstances or conditions present at such
Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any
Hazardous Materials or for which investigation, testing, monitoring,
containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal,
state or local law or regulation.
The cost of the Environmental Assessment shall be an Extraordinary Expense. The
Servicer shall deliver to the FDIC and the Trustee a copy of any such
Environmental Assessment. In the event that any such Environmental Assessment
so warrants, the Servicer is hereby authorized to perform such additional
environmental testing as it deems necessary and prudent to establish
satisfaction of the foregoing Environmental Conditions Precedent to Foreclosure
or to proceed in accordance with subsection (d), (e) or (f), as the case may be,
below. The expenses incurred pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
shall be an Extraordinary Expense.
(d) If (i) the environmental testing contemplated by subsection (c)
above establishes that any of the Environmental Conditions Precedent to
Foreclosure is not satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property secured by a
Direct Mortgage Loan or a Lead Mortgage Loan and (ii) the Servicer in good faith
reasonably believes that it is in the best economic
- 100 -
interest of the Trust Fund to proceed against such Mortgaged Property and, if
title thereto is acquired, to take such remedial, corrective or other action
with respect to the unsatisfied condition or conditions as may be prescribed by
applicable law to satisfy such condition or conditions, then the Servicer shall
so notify the FDIC and the Trustee, and the Trustee shall forward such notice to
the Certificateholders (which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the
reasons for its decisions and advising the Certificateholders of their rights to
object, subject to the remainder of this sentence) and, if (i) the FDIC, in the
event that amounts remain available under the Limited Guaranty, or (ii) in all
other cases, the Trustee, on its own behalf or on behalf of Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights of any Class of
Regular Certificates affected thereby have not notified the Servicer in writing
of their objection within 30 days of such notification, the Servicer shall
proceed against such Mortgaged Property. The cost of any remedial, corrective
or other action contemplated by the preceding sentence in respect of any of the
Environmental Conditions Precedent to Foreclosure that is not satisfied shall be
an Extraordinary Expense, and neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall be
required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in connection with any such action. The basis of any objection of the
Trustee to the Servicer's decision to proceed against the Mortgaged Property
must be reasonable and shall be set forth in any objection delivered by it.
(e) If (i) the environmental testing contemplated by subsection (c)
above establishes that any of the Environmental Conditions Precedent to
Foreclosure is not satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a
Direct Mortgage Loan or Lead Mortgage Loan and (ii) either (A) the Servicer in
good faith reasonably believes based upon the Environmental Assessment report
that it is not in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to proceed
against such Mortgaged Property or (B) either (1) the FDIC or (2) Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights of any Class of
Regular Certificates affected thereby, as the case may be, have notified the
Trustee and the Trustee (on behalf of such Holders or on its own behalf) has
notified the Servicer in writing of their objection to the Servicer's intentions
to proceed against such Mortgaged Property within 30 days of receiving notice
thereof as contemplated by subsection (d) above, then the Servicer shall take
such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund
(other than proceeding against the Mortgaged Property) as determined in
accordance with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01(a), and is
hereby authorized at such time as it deems appropriate, at the option of the
FDIC, to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage
or to deliver such Mortgage Loan to the FDIC.
(f) The Servicer shall report to the FDIC and the Trustee monthly as
to any actions taken by the Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property
securing a Direct Mortgage Loan or Lead Mortgage Loan as to which the
environmental testing contemplated in subsection (c) above has revealed that any
of the Environmental Conditions Precedent to Foreclosure is not satisfied, in
each case until the earliest to occur of satisfaction of all such conditions,
repurchase of or delivery to the FDIC of the related Mortgage Loan and release
of the lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property. The Trustee
shall promptly forward each such report to (i) the Certificateholders and (ii)
the FDIC for so long as amounts remain available under the Limited Guaranty.
- 101 -
(g) The Servicer shall report to the Internal Revenue Service and the
related Mortgagor, in the manner required by applicable law, the information
required to be reported regarding any Mortgaged Property securing a Direct
Mortgage Loan or Lead Mortgage Loan which is abandoned or foreclosed. The
Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee.
(h) The Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance with
its normal and usual commercial mortgage servicing procedures, the advisability
of the maintenance of an action to obtain a deficiency judgment if the state in
which the Mortgaged Property securing a Direct Mortgage Loan or Lead Mortgage
Loan is located permits such an action.
(i) The Servicer shall maintain accurate records, prepared by a
Servicing Officer, of each Final Recovery Determination in respect of a
defaulted Mortgage Asset and the basis thereof. Each Final Recovery
Determination shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the
Trustee no later than the third Business Day following such Final Recovery
Determination.
(j) The Servicer shall not foreclose upon any property that it has
been instructed by the Trustee or the FDIC not to foreclose upon because such
property would fail to constitute "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
the REMIC Provisions or that the Servicer has reason to believe would not
constitute such "foreclosure property."
Section 3.10. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Asset, or the receipt by
the Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the
Trustee and any related Custodian by a certification (which certification shall
be in the form of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1
-------
hereto and shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or
to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be
deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) have been or
will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of
the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee
shall promptly release or cause the Custodian to release the related Mortgage
File to the Servicer. The expenses incurred in connection with any instrument
of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance (which document shall be provided by the
Servicer) shall be chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution
Account.
(b) The Trustee upon request of the Servicer and receipt from the
Servicer of a Request for Release, shall promptly release or cause the Custodian
to release any Mortgage File (or any portion thereof) to the Servicer. Upon
return of such Mortgage File to the Trustee, the Trustee shall acknowledge
receipt thereof by executing and returning the Servicer's transmittal letter
that accompanied the returned Mortgage File.
(c) Within seven Business Days (or within such shorter period as such
request can reasonably be fulfilled if the Servicer notifies the Trustee of an
exigency) of the
- 102 -
Servicer's request therefor, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the
Servicer or the Servicer may execute and deliver in the name of the Trustee and
the Trust Fund, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other
documents furnished to the Trustee and necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's
sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a
deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Together
with such documents or pleadings, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a
certificate of a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2
-------
hereto requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee
and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and
that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or
otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a
lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
Section 3.11. Servicing Compensation.
(a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall
be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Asset and
REO Loan. As to each Mortgage Asset and REO Loan, the Servicing Fee shall
accrue at the Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the same
principal amount respecting which any related interest payment due on such
Mortgage Asset or deemed due on such REO Loan is computed (except that for
purposes of calculating its fee each Mortgage Asset shall be deemed to accrue
interest on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months).
The Servicing Fee with respect to any Mortgage Asset or REO Loan shall cease to
accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof. As to each Mortgage
Asset other than a Non-Monthly Loan, the Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly
from payments of interest on such Mortgage Asset. As to each Non-Monthly Loan,
the Servicing Fee shall be payable at the same frequency as the Due Date
therefor, from payments of interest on such Non-Monthly Loan; however the
Servicer may, at its option, advance to itself the Servicing Fee on a Non-
Monthly Loan on a monthly basis, which advance shall be treated as a Servicing
Advance for all purposes of this agreement. In the case of each REO Loan, the
Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly from revenues generated by the related
REO Property. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees
in respect of any Mortgage Asset out of related Liquidation Proceeds and
Insurance Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a) and in respect of
any REO Loan out of related REO Revenues, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation
Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3.16(c).
As further compensation for its servicing activities, the Servicer will
also be entitled to receive (i) a Liquidation Fee in connection with the sale,
settlement or collection (for overseeing the sale) to an unaffiliated person of
any REO Property or any Mortgage Asset, payable out of related sales or
liquidation proceeds provided that the payment of such Liquidation Fee would not
be a violation of, and would not subject the Trustee, the FDIC, the Mortgage
Loan Seller or the Trust Fund to liability under, any state or local statute,
regulation or other requirement (including without limitation, those governing
the licensing of real estate brokers or salesmen), (ii) a Modification Fee in
connection with the modification of a defaulted Mortgage Loan (or as
- 103 -
to which default is reasonably foreseeable) and (iii) in addition to a
Modification Fee, a Resolution Fee in connection with the modification during
the Resolution Period of a Defaulted Mortgage Asset. The "Liquidation Fee" in
respect of any defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property is payable to the
Servicer upon liquidation of the Mortgage Loan or REO Property and shall be
calculated in the following manner: in an amount equal to 1.10% of the net
liquidation proceeds if such liquidation is completed within 12 months from the
date on which the Mortgage Loan became a Defaulted Mortgage Asset or REO
Property; provided, however, that if such sale is completed during any
subsequent six-month period, then the Liquidation Fee rate shall be decreased by
.05% (e.g., 1.10% to 1.05%) from the Liquidation Fee rate applicable in the
immediately preceding six-month period, subject to a floor of .75%; provided,
however, that payment of such fee shall not be required hereunder if doing so
would be a violation of, or would subject the Trustee, the FDIC, the Mortgage
Loan Seller, or the Trust Fund to any liability under any state or local
statute, regulation or similar requirement, including, without limitation, those
governing the licensing of real estate brokers or salesmen. Any shortfall in
net liquidation proceeds, including a shortfall attributable to payment of the
Liquidation Fee, will be covered by the Limited Guaranty, to the extent of the
applicable remaining coverage available thereunder. The "Modification Fee"
earned in connection with the modification of Mortgage Loan will be on amounts
billed directly to the related mortgagor, shall not be the obligation of the
Trustee or the Mortgage Loan Seller and will be limited to the extent that such
fee is collected from the related mortgagor. In no event will the Modification
Fee exceed 1% of the outstanding Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan within
any period of 12 consecutive months. The Servicer shall not receive a
Modification Fee in respect of any Mortgage Asset if the Servicer forgives any
debt of the related Mortgagor. The "Resolution Fee" payable in connection with
the modification of a Mortgage Loan during the Resolution Period, in addition to
any Modification Fee then payable by the borrower, will be equal to 1.10% of all
amounts collected on such Mortgage Loan, if such modification is completed
within 12 months from the date on which the Mortgage Loan became a Defaulted
Mortgage Asset; provided, however, that if such modification is completed during
any subsequent six-month period, then the Resolution Fee rate will be decreased
by .05% (e.g., 1.10% to 1.05%) of the Resolution Fee rate applicable in the
immediately preceding period subject to a floor of .75%. Any shortfall in
collections resulting from the modification of a Mortgage Loan, including a
shortfall attributable to payment of a Resolution Fee, will be covered by the
Limited Guaranty, to the extent of the applicable remaining coverage available
thereunder.
With respect to any Matured Performing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off
Date, no Resolution Fee is payable except with respect to modifications
occurring after the 121st day following the Closing Date.
The right to receive the Servicing Fee, the Liquidation Fee, the
Modification Fee or the Resolution Fee in respect of any Mortgage Loan may not
be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all
of the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees,
late payment charges, defaulted interest charges for beneficiary statements or
demands and amounts
- 104 -
collected for checks returned for insufficient funds, the amount by which
Prepayment Interest Excess exceeds Prepayment Interest Shortfall, and any other
fees collected from borrowers not expressly payable to another person pursuant
to this Agreement, in each case to the extent actually paid by a Mortgagor,
shall be retained by the Servicer and shall not be required to be deposited in
the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a). The Servicer shall also be
entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of interest or other
income earned on deposits in the Escrow Accounts (subject to the fourth sentence
of Section 3.03(a)), the Collection Account, the Distribution Account and the
REO Account in accordance with Section 3.06(b).
Section 3.12. Inspections; Collection of Financial Statements.
(a) The Servicer shall inspect each Mortgaged Property securing a
Direct Mortgage Loan or Lead Mortgage Loan at such times and in such manner as
are consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01(a), but in
any event (i)(A) at least once per calendar year, commencing January 1, 1997,
for each related Mortgage Asset with an outstanding principal balance equal to
at least $1,000,000 and (B) at least bi-annually, commencing January 1, 1997,
for each related Mortgage Asset with an outstanding principal balance equal to
at least $200,000 but less than $1,000,000 and (ii) if any Scheduled Payment
(other than any Balloon Payment due with respect to a Matured Performing
Mortgage Asset prior to the modification thereof pursuant to Section 3.19(e))
for such Mortgage Asset becomes more than 60 days delinquent on the related
Mortgage Loan, as soon as practicable thereafter. In the course of each such
inspection, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to determine the existence
of any material vacancy in the Mortgaged Property, of any sale, transfer or
abandonment of the Mortgaged Property, of any material change in the condition
of the Mortgaged Property, of any material waste committed on the Mortgaged
Property, of any material failure on the part of the related Mortgagor to keep
the Mortgaged Property in good condition and repair, of any permanent or
substantial injury to the Mortgaged Property through unreasonable use, abuse or
neglect or of any other matter which would materially and adversely affect or
result in diminution of the security provided by the related Mortgage. The
Servicer may, if consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section
3.01, use its own employees to conduct all such inspections. The Servicer shall
promptly make a written report of each such inspection and shall deliver a copy
thereof to the Trustee within 14 days of its preparation.
(b) With respect to each Direct Mortgage Loan or Lead Mortgage Loan,
the Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect from the related Mortgagor
such annual operating statements of the related Mortgaged Property and financial
statements of such Mortgagor as may be required to be delivered pursuant to the
terms of the related Mortgage. The Servicer shall promptly deliver copies
thereof to the Trustee and each Rating Agency. The Servicer shall promptly
review each such statement, calculate the current debt service coverage ratio
for the related Mortgage Loan, and (i) deliver to the Trustee and each Rating
Agency a written report signed by a Servicing Officer containing its
calculations of the related debt service coverage ratios and in the case of a
Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has observed what it considers to be
extraordinary increases or decreases in the expenses or revenues associated with
the related Mortgaged Property, containing an analysis of that change in
circumstance and
- 105 -
(ii) take any action with respect to such Mortgage Loan as it deems consistent
with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01(a).
(c) The Trustee shall not be required to monitor receipt of, or
examine the report required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Section 3.12
or the analysis submitted to it pursuant to Section 3.19(c) or (g), its sole
duty with respect to such reports and analysis being to hold and make such
reports and analysis available in accordance with Section 5.05.
Section 3.13. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Servicer will deliver to the Trustee, with a copy to the Mortgage
Loan Seller, on or before April 30 of each year, beginning in 1998, an Officers'
Certificate stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of its
performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision,
(ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer
has fulfilled all of its obligations in all material respects 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
officers and the nature and status thereof and (iii) the Servicer has received
no notice regarding qualification, or challenging the status, of the Lower-Tier
REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC from the Internal Revenue Service or
any other governmental agency or body.
Section 3.14. Reports by Independent Public Accountants.
On or before April 30 of each year, beginning in 1998, the Servicer at
its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants (which may also
render other services to the Servicer), which is a member of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants and is reasonably satisfactory to each
Rating Agency, to furnish a statement to the Trustee, the FDIC and the Mortgage
Loan Seller to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and
records relating to the servicing by or on behalf of the Servicer during the
preceding calendar year of the Mortgage Assets under this Agreement and that, on
the basis of such examination conducted substantially in compliance with the
Uniform Single Audit Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for
Mortgages serviced for FHLMC, such firm confirms that such servicing has been
conducted in compliance with (i) this Pooling and Servicing Agreement, in the
case of the statements to be delivered on or before April 30, 1998 and April 30,
1999 and (ii) the servicing guidelines established by the Uniform Single Audit
Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced by
FHLMC, in the case of each statement to be delivered thereafter, except in any
case for such significant exceptions or errors in records that, in the opinion
of such firm, the Uniform Single Audit Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit
Program for Mortgages serviced for FHLMC requires it to report, in which case
such exceptions and errors shall be so reported. In rendering any such
statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating to direct servicing of
mortgage loans by Sub-Servicers, upon comparable statements for examinations
conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Audit Program for
Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for FHLMC

(rendered within one year of such statement) of independent public accountants
with respect to the related Sub-Servicer.
Section 3.15. Access to Certain Documentation.
The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, and to the OTS, the FDIC
(Division of Supervision), and any other federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder,
access to any reasonable nonconfidential and nonproprietary documentation
regarding the Mortgage Assets and the servicing thereof that, in the case of the
Trustee, it may request and, in other cases, as may be required by applicable
law. Such access shall be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable
prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices of the
Servicer designated by it. The Servicer shall not deny access to the Trustee,
on the grounds of confidentiality or ownership, to any document or record,
including any that might be in electronic form, that would be reasonably
necessary for the Trustee to determine if an Event of Default has occurred
hereunder, to verify any amount set forth in any Collection Report, to prepare
any Tax Return or to show, in any instance, that the Trustee acted properly
hereunder and nothing in this Section shall affect any right the Trustee might
have under any law, through legal process, to discover or otherwise obtain
access to any document or records in the possession of the Servicer with respect
to the Mortgage Loans or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 3.16. Title to REO Property; REO Account.
(a) This Section shall apply only to REO Property acquired for the
account of the Trust Fund, and shall not apply to any REO Property relating to a
Mortgage Asset which was repurchased from the Trust Fund pursuant to any
provision hereof. If title to any such REO Property is acquired, the deed or
certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. The Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall sell any
REO Property within two years after the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such
REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless (i) the
Internal Revenue Service grants an extension of time to sell such property or
(ii) the Servicer obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of
which shall be an Extraordinary Expense), addressed to the Trustee and the
Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property
subsequent to the second anniversary of such acquisition will not result in the
imposition of taxes on the Trust Fund or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the
Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each
REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt
disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail
to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code or result in the receipt by the Trust Fund of any "income from non-
permitted assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any
"net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the
REMIC Provisions. Any extension referred to in clause (i) shall be requested by
the Servicer at least 60 days before the day on which the two-year grace period
would otherwise expire.
- 107 -
(b) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received in connection with any REO Property separate and apart from its own
funds and general assets. If an REO Acquisition shall occur, the Servicer shall
establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "REO Account"),
held on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, for the retention of revenues derived from REO Property. If
the Servicer does not elect to establish and maintain a separate REO Account
with respect to each Sub-Pool, the Servicer shall at all times during the term
hereof maintain a separate ledger sub-account of the REO Account for each Sub-
Pool, which ledger sub-account shall accurately reflect each deposit to and
withdrawal from the REO Account that is allocable to such Sub-Pool. The REO
Account shall be an Eligible Account. Funds in the REO Account may be invested
in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 3.06. The Servicer shall
give notice to the Trustee of the location of the REO Account when first
established and of the new location of the REO Account prior to any change
thereof.
(c) The Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the REO
Account, upon receipt, all REO Revenues and all Insurance Proceeds received in
respect of an REO Property. The Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account
funds necessary for the proper operation, management, maintenance, leasing and
disposition of any REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts on deposit in
the REO Account relating to such REO Property. In addition, the Servicer may
from time-to-time make withdrawals from the REO Account, out of amounts on
deposit therein with respect to any REO Property: (i) to pay itself unpaid
Servicing Fees, Resolution Fees or Liquidation Fees in respect of the related
REO Loan or related Mortgage Loan; (ii) to reimburse itself or the Trustee for
unreimbursed Servicing Advances in respect of such REO Property or the related
Mortgage Loan and to pay to itself or the Trustee interest thereon in accordance
with Section 4.08; and (iii) to reimburse itself or the Trustee for xxxxxxxxxxxx
X&X Advances in respect of the related REO Loan or related Mortgage Loan and to
pay to itself and the Trustee interest thereon in accordance with Section 4.08.
On each P&I Advance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account and
deposit into the Distribution Account, the Net REO Revenues and Net Insurance
Proceeds therein received during the most recently ended Due Period, provided
that the Servicer may establish and retain in an account for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, funds for a reasonable reserve for repairs, replacements,
capital improvements and other related expenses.
(d) The proceeds of any REO Disposition shall be deposited in the
REO Account and shall be transferred, net of any payments to the Servicer as
provided in Section 3.16(c), to the Distribution Account on the P&I Advance Date
in the Due Period following receipt thereof for distribution on the succeeding
Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be
for cash.
(e) The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate records, on an REO
Property by REO Property basis, for the purpose of accounting for all deposits
to, and withdrawals from, the REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(b), (c) or
(d).
Section 3.17. Management of REO Property.
- 108 -
(a) Prior to the acquisition of title to a Mortgaged Property the
Servicer shall review the operation of such Mortgaged Property and determine the
nature of the income that would be derived from such property if it were
acquired by the Trust Fund. If the Servicer determines from such review that:
(i) None of the income from Directly Operating such Mortgaged
Property would be subject to (1) tax as "net income from foreclosure
property" within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions or (2) the tax imposed
on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F of the Code (either such
tax referred to herein as an "REO Tax"), such Mortgaged Property may be
Directly Operated by the Servicer as REO Property;
(ii) Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property as an REO
Property could result in income from such property that would be subject to
an REO Tax, but that a lease of such property to another person to operate
such property, or the performance of some services by an Independent
Contractor with respect to such property, or another method of operating
such Mortgaged Property would not result in income subject to an REO Tax,
then the Servicer may (provided that, in the judgement of the Servicer, it
is commercially feasible to do so) acquire such Mortgaged Property as REO
Property and so lease or operate such REO Property; or
(iii) It is reasonable to believe that Directly Operating such
property as REO Property could result in income subject to an REO Tax and
that there is no commercially reasonable feasible means to operate such
property as REO Property without the Trust Fund incurring or possibly
incurring an REO Tax on income from such property, the Servicer shall give
written notice to the Trustee summarizing a proposed plan ("Proposed Plan")
to manage such property as REO Property. Such notice shall include
potential sources of income, and to the extent reasonably feasible,
estimates of the amount of income from each such source. Within a
reasonable period of time after receipt of such notice, the Trustee (who
may obtain the advice of tax professionals) shall consult with the Servicer
and shall advise the Servicer of the Trustee's federal income tax reporting
position with respect to the various sources of income that the Trust Fund
would derive under the Proposed Plan. In addition, the Trustee shall (to
the extent feasible) advise the Servicer of the estimated amount of taxes
that the Trust Fund would be required to pay with respect to each such
source of income. After receiving the information described in the two
preceding sentences from the Trustee, the Servicer, upon consultation with
the Trustee (who may in turn obtain advice of tax counsel, the cost of
which shall be an Extraordinary Expense) shall decide either to (A)
implement the Proposed Plan (after acquiring the respective Mortgaged
Property as REO Property) or (B) manage and operate such property in a
manner that would not result in the imposition of an REO Tax on the income
derived from such property.
The Servicer's decision as to how each REO Property shall be managed
and operated shall be based in either case on the good faith and reasonable
judgment of the Servicer as to which means would be in the best interests of the
Certificateholders by maximizing (to the extent commercially feasible) the net
after-tax REO Revenues received by the Trust Fund with
- 109 -
respect to such property and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, in
the same manner as would prudent institutional mortgage loan servicers and asset
managers operating acquired mortgage property comparable to such REO Property.
The Servicer may consult with counsel (the expense of which shall be an
Extraordinary Expense) in connection with determinations required under this
Section 3.17(a). Neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall be liable to the
Certificateholders, the Trust Fund or the FDIC for errors in judgement made in
good faith in the exercise of its discretion while performing its
responsibilities under this Section 3.17(a). Nothing in this Section 3.17(a) is
intended to prevent the sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Asset pursuant to the terms
and subject to the conditions of Section 3.18.
(b) If the Trustee acquires any REO Property pursuant to Section
3.09, the Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate such REO Property
for the benefit of the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt
disposition and sale in a manner that does not cause such REO Property to fail
to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code or, except as provided in Section 3.17(a), result in the receipt by the
Trust Fund of any income subject to the tax on "prohibited transactions" under
Section 860F(a) of the Code. Subject to the foregoing and to the specific
requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, the Servicer shall have full
power and authority to do any and all things in connection therewith as are
consistent with the manner in which the Servicer would manage and operate such
property if it were owned by the Servicer, all on such terms and for such period
as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders, and,
consistent therewith, shall withdraw from the REO Account, to the extent of
amounts on deposit therein with respect to such REO Property, funds necessary
for the proper operation, management, leasing and maintenance of such REO
Property, including:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such
REO Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such
REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain, lease,
operate, manage and sell such REO Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account in respect of any REO
Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in (i) - (iii) above with
respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance from its own funds such
amount as is necessary for such purposes unless (as evidenced by an Officers'
Certificate (consistent with the requirements of Section 4.03(e)) delivered to
the Trustee) the Servicer would not make such advances if the Servicer owned
such REO Property or, in the Servicer's reasonable good faith judgment, the
payment of such amounts will not be recoverable from the operation or sale of
such REO Property; provided, however, that the Servicer may make any such
advance even if it is not recoverable from the operation or sale of such
property if it is deemed by the Servicer to be a necessary fee or expense
incurred in connection with the defense or prosecution of legal proceedings.
- 110 -
(c) The Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for
the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract may not be
inconsistent herewith;
(ii) subject to Section 3.17(a), any such contract may require,
or may be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor (A)
pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation
and management of such REO Property, including, without limitation,
those listed in subsection (b) hereof, and (B) remit all related
revenues collected (net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer
upon receipt;
(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.17(c) relating
to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent
Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Servicer of any of its
duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders
with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property;
and
(iv) the Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to
the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and
obligations in connection with the operation and management of such
REO Property.
The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent
Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations
hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such Independent Contractor,
and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
(d) The Servicer shall prepare and file reports of foreclosure and
abandonment in accordance with Section 6050J of the Code.
Section 3.18. Sale of Mortgage Assets and Sale of REO Properties.
(a) The Servicer may sell a Mortgage Asset or REO Property (or
deliver a satisfaction of Mortgage or deed or similar instrument at a
foreclosure sale) only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Section 3.18 or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
(b) In the event that any Mortgage Asset becomes a Defaulted
Mortgage Asset and the Servicer has determined in good faith that such Defaulted
Mortgage Asset will become subject to foreclosure proceedings, the Servicer
shall promptly so notify the Trustee. The Servicer may at its option purchase
from the Trust Fund, at a price equal to the Purchase Price, any such Defaulted
Mortgage Asset. The Purchase Price for any Defaulted Mortgage Asset purchased
hereunder shall be deposited into the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of an Officers' Certificate from the Servicer to the effect that such
deposit has been
- 111 -
made, shall release or cause to be released to the Servicer the related Mortgage
File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment in
such form as are furnished to the Trustee, in each case without recourse, as
shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer such Defaulted Mortgage Asset.
(c) The Servicer may offer to sell to any Person any Defaulted
Mortgage Asset not otherwise purchased by the Servicer pursuant to subsection
(b) above, and any REO Property, if and when the Servicer determines, consistent
with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01(a), that such a sale would
be in the best economic interests of the Trust Fund, but shall, in any event, so
offer to sell any REO Property no later than the time determined by the Servicer
to be sufficient to result in the sale of such REO Property within the time
period specified in Section 3.16(a). The Servicer shall give the Trustee not
less than three Business Days' prior notice of its intention to sell any
Defaulted Mortgage Asset or REO Property. The Servicer shall accept the highest
cash bid received from any Person for any Defaulted Mortgage Asset or any REO
Property in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price for such Mortgage
Asset or REO Property as of the proposed date of the sale. In the absence of
any such bid, the Servicer shall accept the highest cash bid that is determined
to be a fair price for such Defaulted Mortgage Asset or REO Property by the
Servicer, if the highest bidder is a Person other than an Interested Person, or
determined by the Trustee, if the highest bidder is an Interested Person. In
the absence of any bid determined to be fair as aforesaid, the Servicer may
offer the Defaulted Mortgage Asset or REO Property for sale to any Person, other
than an Interested Person, in a commercially reasonable manner and shall accept
the highest cash bid received therefor in excess of the highest bid previously
submitted. If no such bid is received, any Interested Person may resubmit its
original bid, and the Trustee shall accept the highest outstanding bid,
regardless of from whom received. No Interested Person shall be obligated to
submit a bid to purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Asset or any REO Property, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its
individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may bid for or purchase any
Defaulted Mortgage Asset or any REO Property pursuant hereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may reject the highest
cash bid and/or accept a lower cash bid or otherwise sell a Defaulted Mortgage
Asset or any REO Property other than in a manner prescribed by the immediately
preceding paragraph (subject, however, to Section 3.16(a)) if it determines at
any time, consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01(a),
that to do so would be in the best economic interests of the Certificateholders.
The basis for any such action will be described in an Officers' Certificate
delivered to the Trustee.
(d) In determining whether any bid received from an Interested
Person represents a fair price for any Defaulted Mortgage Asset or any REO
Property, the Trustee may obtain and conclusively rely on the opinion of an
Independent MAI-certified appraiser with an expertise in the relevant property
type or any other expert in real estate finance/investment sales matters
retained by the Trustee, the costs of which shall be an Extraordinary Expense.
In determining whether any bid constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted
Mortgage Asset or any REO Property, the Servicer shall take into account and any
appraiser or other expert in real
- 112 -
estate finance/investment sales matters shall be instructed to take into
account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any
delinquency on the affected Defaulted Mortgage Asset, the financial standing of
the tenants of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, the physical condition of
the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, the state of the local economy and the
Trust Fund's obligation to dispose of any REO Property within the time period
specified in Section 3.16(a).
(e) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.16, the Servicer shall
act on behalf of the Trustee in negotiating and taking any other action
necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage
Asset or REO Property, and the collection of all amounts payable in connection
therewith. Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Asset or any REO Property shall be
final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust Fund (other than
representations and warranties of the Trust Fund with respect to ownership of
the Mortgage Asset or REO Property and the condition of the related Mortgaged
Property), and to the extent such Person shall act in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability
to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by
the Servicer or the Trustee.
Section 3.19. Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.19, the Servicer
shall have the right, but not the obligation, on behalf of the Trust Fund to
agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Direct
Mortgage Loan or Lead Mortgage Loan without the consent of the Trustee or any
Certificateholder. All modifications, waivers or amendments of any such Mortgage
Loan shall be in writing and, except as set forth in Section 3.19(c) below,
shall be consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01(a).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
Servicer shall not agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of
any such Mortgage Loan unless it has first obtained and delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be an Extraordinary Expense),
which may be applicable to more than one transaction or generally to a class or
classes of transactions described therein, to the effect that the proposed
modification, waiver or amendment (or the charging of a fee therefor as provided
in Section 3.19(d)) will not cause (i) the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is
outstanding, (ii) a gain on the disposition of a qualified mortgage which would
be subject to the 100% tax on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 860F(a)
of the Code or (iii) the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to be subject
to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or equivalent provisions of federal, state
or local law or ordinance; provided, however, that no such Opinion of Counsel
shall be required for a modification, waiver or amendment made pursuant to
Section 3.19(c) except as otherwise required under Section 3.19(c)(iii).
(b) The Servicer may agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of
any term of any Mortgage Loan only if such modification, waiver or amendment
would not, except as provided in Section 3.19(c) below:
- 113 -
(i) affect the amount or timing of any payment of principal or
interest thereunder; or
(ii) either (x) materially impair the security for such Mortgage Loan
(including, but not limited to, the continued validity and enforceability
of any guaranty given as additional security in connection with the
origination of the Mortgage Loan), as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
(the cost of which shall be an Extraordinary Expense) of Independent
counsel delivered to the Servicer (which Opinion of Counsel need only
contain the opinion that the modification, waiver or amendment will not
materially impair the security for such Mortgage Loan as a legal matter and
may contain customary and reasonable exceptions) or (y) in the Servicer's
judgment, reduce the likelihood of timely payment of amounts thereon.
(c) If the Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that a
material default has occurred or a payment default is reasonably foreseeable and
that modification, waiver or amendment of the terms of such Mortgage Loan is
reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than
liquidation of such Mortgage Loan, the Servicer may, subject in each such case
to the remainder of this Section 3.19(c) and to the servicing standard set forth
in Section 3.01(a), agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of any of the
following terms of such Mortgage Loan with the consent of the FDIC, for so long
as amounts remain available under the Limited Guaranty (or, if the Limited
Guaranty is no longer outstanding for the related Sub-Pool, the consent of the
holders of a majority of the most subordinated Corresponding Class), (subject to
the remainder of this Section 3.19(c) and 3.19(g)), but otherwise without the
consent of the Trustee or any Certificateholders:
(i) The Servicer may from time-to-time extend the Maturity Date of
any such Mortgage Loan to a date occurring not later than the Optimal Wind-
Down Date with respect thereto;
(ii) The Servicer may from time-to-time (A) reduce the amounts owing
under any such Mortgage Loan by forgiving principal and/or (B) forgiving
interest accrued on such Mortgage Loan and/or (C) reduce the Scheduled
Payments on any such Mortgage Loan (including by reducing the principal
balance or amortization schedule thereof) provided that the modification
does not provide for the deferral of interest in an amount that would
increase the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan by more than 10%; and
(iii) The Servicer may from time-to-time permit the Mortgagor to
substitute collateral for all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property or to
pledge additional collateral for the Mortgage Loan, or may release part of
the Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that the Servicer shall have
requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be an
Extraordinary Expense) addressed to the Trustee to the effect that any such
substitution, additional pledge or release of collateral is permitted
hereby and will not cause the Mortgage Loan to cease to be a qualified
mortgage within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code, and
provided, further, that the Servicer shall not permit the Mortgagor to
substitute any collateral pursuant to this Section 3.19
- 114 -
unless the Servicer shall have first determined in accordance with the
servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01(a), based upon an
environmental site assessment satisfying the requirements set forth in
Section 3.09(c) and prepared by an Independent Person who is qualified to
make environmental site assessments, at the expense of the Mortgagor, that
such substitute collateral is in compliance with applicable environmental
laws and that there are no circumstances or conditions present at such
substitute collateral relating to the use, management or disposal of any
Hazardous Materials or for which investigation, testing, monitoring,
containment, clean-up or remediation would be required under any then
effective federal, state or local law or regulation, or, if any such
containment, clean-up or remediation is required, that adequate funds
therefor have been placed in escrow with the Servicer by or on behalf of
the Mortgagor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of the FDIC (or, if the
Limited Guaranty is no longer outstanding for such related Sub-Pool, the holders
of a majority of the most subordinated Corresponding Class) to withhold its (or
their) consent to a proposed modification, waiver or amendment of a Mortgage
Loan is limited solely to modifications, waivers and amendments of the
provisions of a Mortgage Loan, other than the extension of the Maturity Date
thereof pursuant to clause (c)(i) of this Section 3.19, having an outstanding
principal balance at the time of the proposed modification, waiver or amendment
in excess of $400,000. Any such right must be exercised within 10 Business Days
of notice of the proposed modification from the Servicer and if not exercised,
shall be deemed waived. Such notice shall be sent by the Servicer to (i) the
FDIC at the address set forth in Section 11.05 or (ii) to the Trustee for notice
to registered holders of the Corresponding Class whose consent is required.
In the event that the Servicer intends to agree to extend the Maturity
Date of any Mortgage Loan as permitted by clause (i) above, the Servicer will
first determine the Extended Loan Floor Rate applicable to such Mortgage Loan.
In connection with an extension of the Maturity Date of an Adjustable Rate
Mortgage Asset, the Servicer shall require (A) that the Index for any such
modified Adjustable Rate Mortgage Asset be either (1) LIBOR or (2) The Wall
Street Journal Prime Rate and (B) that the Gross Margin on such modified
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Asset equal the Gross Margin of such loan immediately
prior to the date of the proposed modification plus the shortfall, if any,
between the Index value of the Adjustable Rate Mortgage Asset immediately prior
to the date of the proposed modification and the modified Index value thereof as
of the date of the modification. If an amortization schedule can be established
with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would fully amortize such Mortgage Loan
by an extended maturity date on a level payment basis and would result in
adjusted Scheduled Payments (with interest calculated at a rate at least equal
to the applicable Extended Loan Floor Rate) that can be supported by the net
operating income of the related Mortgaged Property (together with such other
sources of payment as the Servicer determines are acceptable therefor), the
Servicer shall, pursuant to the related modification, waiver or amendment
providing for such extension, extend such Maturity Date and require that such
adjusted Scheduled Payments be made. If the Servicer determines that the net
operating income, together with any such other sources of payment, will not
support such adjusted Scheduled Payments, the Servicer shall either agree to a
Balloon Payment at the proposed extended maturity date (which must occur no
later than the Optimal Wind-Down Date) and a schedule of Scheduled Payments that
would fully
- 115 -
amortize the Mortgage Loan by the Optimal Wind-Down Date, taking into account
such Balloon Payment, or reduce the Scheduled Payments of such Mortgage Loan
pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) without extending the Maturity Date
thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
3.19, the Servicer shall not agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of
any Mortgage Loan (x) that provides for the calculation of interest on a basis
that does not assume a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and (y)
secured in whole or in part by a Ground Lease and not the related fee interest
if such modification, waiver or amendment would extend the Maturity Date of such
Mortgage Loan to a date less than ten years prior to the expiration of such
Ground Lease.
In the event the Servicer intends to permit a Mortgagor to substitute
collateral for all or any portion of a Mortgaged Property or pledge additional
collateral for the Mortgage Loan as permitted by the preceding clause (iii), if
the security interest of the Trust Fund in such collateral would be perfected by
possession, or if such collateral requires special care or protection, then
prior to agreeing to such substitution or addition of collateral, the Servicer
shall make arrangements for such possession, care or protection, and prior to
agreeing to such substitution or addition of collateral (or such arrangement for
possession, care or protection) shall obtain the prior written consent of the
Trustee with respect thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned); provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be
required to consent to any substitution or addition of collateral or to hold any
such collateral that will require the Trustee to undertake any additional duties
or obligations or incur any additional expense.
Subject to Section 3.19(g), if either the Servicer or Holders of
Certificates representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights submit to the
Trustee a proposal to amend the provisions of this Section 3.19(c) as they
relate to the Servicer's ability to modify, waive or amend the terms of any
Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall submit such proposal to a vote of the
Certificateholders. Such proposal shall be deemed to be adopted, and the
provisions of this Section 3.19(c) to be amended accordingly, if such proposal
receives the affirmative vote of Holders of Certificates representing at least
51% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Regular Certificates affected thereby
and the Person submitting such proposal shall have obtained at its own expense
and delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that the proposed amendments
would not cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding or any imposition of
tax under the REMIC Provisions or equivalent provisions of federal, state or
local law or ordinance. Any expense incurred in connection therewith shall be
an Extraordinary Expense. To the extent that a proposal to amend the provisions
of this Section 3.19(c) is submitted by the Holders of Certificates representing
at least 25% of the Voting Rights and if such proposal is adopted pursuant to
the terms of this paragraph, the reasonable expenses of the Servicer in
modifying its servicing procedures to comply with this Section 3.19(c), as
amended, shall be an Extraordinary Expense.
(d) (i) The Servicer also shall be entitled to receive a Resolution
Fee in connection with the modification of a Mortgage Loan during the
related Resolution Period; provided, however, that no Resolution Fee shall
be paid to the Servicer in respect
- 116 -
of a modification of a Balloon Mortgage Asset that is a Matured Performing
Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date, unless such modification occurs on or
after to the 121st calendar day following the Closing Date. The Servicer
shall make reasonable efforts to collect its Modification Fee from the
related Mortgagor but shall not condition its grant of any request for a
consent, modification, waiver or amendment on payment thereof and no fee
shall be charged to such Mortgagor to the extent reasonably unaffordable by
such Mortgagor.
(ii) The Servicer shall charge the Mortgagor for any costs and
expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with any request for a
modification unless the Servicer determines that the Mortgagor cannot
reasonably afford such costs and expenses, but the failure or inability of
the Mortgagor to pay any such costs and expenses shall not impair the right
of the Servicer to cause such costs and expenses to be paid or reimbursed
as an Extraordinary Expense.
(iii) Any provision of this Section 3.19(d) to the contrary
notwithstanding, other than in the case of a modification, waiver or
amendment of the terms of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.19(c), no
fee described in this Section 3.19(d) shall be collected by the Servicer
from the Mortgagor (or on behalf of the Mortgagor) in conjunction with any
consent or any such modification, waiver or amendment (unless the amount
thereof is specified in the related Mortgage Note) if the collection of
such fee would cause such consent, modification, waiver or amendment to be
a "significant modification" of, or otherwise constitute a deemed
reissuance of, the Mortgage Note under the Code.
(e) With respect to each Matured Performing Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer shall undertake the prompt modification of the terms of such Mortgage
Loan as described in Section 3.19(c).
(f) The Servicer shall notify the Trustee of any modification, waiver
or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan and the date thereof, and shall
deliver to the Trustee (i) the Servicer's analysis underlying such modification,
waiver or amendment, (ii) an original counterpart of the agreement relating to
such modification, waiver or amendment, promptly following the execution thereof
for deposit in the related Mortgage File, and (iii) in the case of a
modification, waiver or amendment pursuant to Section 3.19(c), a summary of the
terms thereof, for delivery to the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.02.
(g) Before the Servicer agrees to any modification, waiver or
amendment of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.19, it shall, at its
expense, prepare an analysis of the basis on which is deems such action to be
advisable, including the status of an existing material default or the grounds
for concluding that a payment default is reasonably foreseeable, and shall
furnish a copy of such analysis to the Trustee and, if the Limited Guaranty is
then outstanding, to the FDIC, along with a notice setting forth in reasonable
detail the modification, waiver or amendment being contemplated by it, at least
10 Business Days prior to the agreeing to such modification, waiver or
amendment. If the FDIC notifies the Servicer in writing during
- 117 -
such 10 Business Day period that it does not consent to such modification,
waiver or amendment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall
be given without regard to the Servicer's right to receive any Modification Fee,
the Servicer shall not agree to such modification, waiver or amendment. In the
event that the FDIC fails to provide the Servicer with such notification, the
FDIC is hereby deemed to consent to such modification, waiver or amendment. The
Servicer shall have no liability to the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders or
any other Person if its analysis and determination that the modification, waiver
or amendment is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present
value basis than liquidation proves to be wrong or incorrect, so long as the
analysis and determination was made in good faith by the Servicer.
(h) The provisions of this Section 3.19 limiting the terms of a
particular modification are applicable only to Servicer's ability to agree to
such a modification, and not to a modification imposed unilaterally by a
bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 3.20. Additional Obligations of the Servicer.
(a) In connection with each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Asset (and, if
and to the extent applicable, any successor REO Loan), the Servicer shall
calculate adjustments in the Mortgage Rate and the Scheduled Payment and shall
notify the Mortgagor of such adjustments, all in accordance with the Mortgage
Note and applicable law. In the event the Index for any Adjustable Rate
Mortgage Asset (or successor REO Loan) is not published or is otherwise
unavailable, the Servicer shall select The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate as the
alternative index with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or successor REO Loan).
In the event that the Mortgage Rate or the Scheduled Payment with
respect to any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Asset is not properly adjusted pursuant
to the terms of such Mortgage Loan and applicable law, the Servicer shall
deposit in the Collection Account on or prior to the Due Date of each affected
Scheduled Payment, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount that
would have been payable by the Mortgagor if the Mortgage Rate or Scheduled
Payment had been properly adjusted, over (ii) the amount of such improperly
adjusted Scheduled Payment, subject to reimbursement only out of such amounts as
are recovered from the Mortgagor in respect of such excess (it being understood
that amounts that would have been deemed P&I Advances absent such improper
adjustment shall continue to be deemed P&I Advances notwithstanding such
improper adjustment). For purposes of calculating distributions to
Certificateholders, any payment by the Servicer under this Section 3.20(a) shall
be deemed to have been paid by the affected Mortgagor as of the Due Date of the
affected Scheduled Payment.
(b) The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account on each P&I
Advance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor, the Compensating
Interest Payment for the related Distribution Date. Such Compensating Interest
Payment shall be allocated by the Trustee between the Sub-Pools based on the
Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for such Sub-Pools and such
Distribution Date.
- 118 -
(c) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which P&I Advances in
respect of an aggregate of eighteen months of Scheduled Payments remain
unreimbursed, the Servicer shall promptly cause the related Mortgaged Property
to be appraised by an MAI-certified appraiser (the cost of which shall be an
Extraordinary Expense). To the extent that such Mortgage Loan becomes a Limited
Guaranty Draw Asset as a result of such appraisal, the Trustee shall make a
claim on the applicable Demand Date under the Limited Guaranty for the
appropriate amount.
Section 3.21. Sub-Servicing Agreements.
(a) The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements for the
servicing and administration of all or a part of the Mortgage Loans, provided
that, in each case, the Sub-Servicing Agreement: (i) is consistent with this
Agreement in all material respects and requires the Sub-Servicer to comply with
all of the applicable conditions of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, in connection with the retention of amounts collected by such Sub-
Servicer on the Mortgage Loans serviced thereby, the provisions of this
Agreement relating to the establishment of the Collection Account, deposits
thereto, withdrawals therefrom and the investment of funds therein; (ii)
provides that if the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the servicer
hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of an Event of Default), the
Trustee or its designee may thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to
the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of the
Servicer under such agreement; and (iii) provides that the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders shall be a third party beneficiary under such
agreement, but that (except to the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes
the obligations of the Servicer thereunder as contemplated by the immediately
preceding clause (ii)) none of the Trustee, any successor Servicer or any
Certificateholder shall have any duties under such agreement or any liabilities
arising therefrom. The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-
Servicing Agreements, and any amendments thereto and modifications thereof,
promptly upon the Servicer's execution and delivery of such documents.
References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer
include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the
Servicer; and, in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Servicer
to satisfy the obligations of the Servicer hereunder to make Servicing Advances
and P&I Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Servicer out of
its own funds and, accordingly, such Advances shall be recoverable by such Sub-
Servicer in the same manner and out of the same funds as if such Sub-Servicer
were the Servicer and, for so long as they are outstanding. For purposes of
this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received any payment when
the Sub-Servicer receives such payment. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee,
the FDIC and the Mortgage Loan Seller in writing promptly of the appointment of
any Sub-Servicer.
(b) For so long as the Limited Guaranty is outstanding, the Servicer
shall obtain the prior written approval from the FDIC of the use of any Sub-
Servicer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
- 119 -
(c) Each Sub-Servicer shall be authorized to transact business in the
state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are
situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law.
(d) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for
the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall (at no expense to
the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust Fund) monitor the performance
and enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance
with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall
be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the
Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner
of the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall have the right to remove a Sub-
Servicer retained by it at any time it considers such removal to be in the best
interests of Certificateholders.
(e) In the event the Trustee or its designee assumes the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Servicer at
its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party
all documents and records relating to such Sub-Servicing Agreement and the
Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts
collected and held on behalf of it thereunder, and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing
Agreement to the assuming party.
(f) Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall
remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the
servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement to the same extent and under the same terms and
conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the
Mortgage Loans.
Section 3.22. Successor to Servicing and Special Servicing Functions.
Under the terms of this Agreement the Servicer is charged with
responsibility both (1) for administering the Mortgage Assets on a general basis
including making advances of delinquent principal and interest (the "Servicing
Function") and (2) for providing servicing for Defaulted Mortgage Assets (the
"Special Servicing Function"). The Agreement provides for the payment of fees
for the different services provided by the Servicer. The FDIC and the Trustee
acknowledge that it is in their best interest and in the interest of
Certificateholders that the Mortgage Assets be serviced as efficiently and
economically as practicable and to that end agree as follows with respect to
Servicer succession.
In the event the Servicer ceases to provide any or all of the
Servicing Functions or Special Servicing Functions, the Trustee will determine
(based on its reasonable judgment) whether it is advisable for some or all of
the Servicing Function to be provided by a different entity than that providing
some or all of the Special Servicing Function. If it determines that certain of
the Servicing Function and Special Servicing Function can best be provided by
- 120 -
separate entities, the Trustee will propose an amendment to this Agreement to
reflect an allocation of services and fees in a manner consistent with separate
entities providing different Servicing Functions and Special Servicing
Functions. The amendment shall provide for fees consistent with those provided
under the terms of this Agreement. The cost incurred by the Trustee in making
the foregoing determination and preparing the proposed amendment shall be
Extraordinary Expenses recoverable by the Trustee as provided herein. The
amendment so proposed by the Trustee shall be come effective upon its approval
by the FDIC and the receipt by the Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency
to the effect that adoption of the amendment will not adversely affect the
rating assigned to any Classes of Offered Certificates.
Upon the Servicer's ceasing to perform one or more Servicing Functions
or Special Servicing Functions, and the effectiveness of the amendment, if any,
pursuant to the foregoing, the Trustee shall use its reasonable best efforts to
secure one or more established mortgage loan servicing entities acceptable to
the Rating Agencies and the FDIC to perform the Servicing Functions and Special
Servicing Functions.

Interest in either Class of Residual Certificates or otherwise by check mailed
to the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register.
The final 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.
(i) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions from
the proceeds of the Trust Fund and the Limited Guaranty, and all interests of
the Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this
Agreement. Neither the Holders of any Class of Certificates nor the Trustee
shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of any other Class of
Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously distributed on the
Certificates.
(j) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trustee
expects that the final distribution of principal with respect to any Class of
Certificates entitled thereto will be made on the next Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall promptly mail to each Holder of record (as of the Record Date) of
such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:
(i) the Trustee expects that the final distribution of principal with
respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution
Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the
office of the Certificate Registrar therein specified, and
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after such
Distribution Date.
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class
on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to
tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust
and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders.
If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section
4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after
the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the
remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.
If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee, directly or through an agent,
shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem reasonable and
appropriate and shall have no liability for any failure to contact any such
Certificateholder. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of
contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of
- 129 -
the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall
be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any
Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder by the Trustee as a
result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for
final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h).

force.
The Trustee shall base its report on information provided to it by the

the Certificateholders in Section 4.02 (and any other terms of this Agreement
requiring or calling for delivery or reporting of information by the Trustee to
Certificateholders) shall not limit the Trustee in furnishing, and the Trustee
is hereby authorized to furnish, to Certificateholders, and/or to the public any

- 133 -
incurred in connection with, the collection, assembly, reproduction or delivery
of any such Additional Information, (E) without the consent of the Mortgage Loan
Seller, the Trustee may, in its sole discretion, furnish Additional Information
to a Rating Agency in any instance, and to the Certificateholders, and/or the
public-at-large if it determines that the furnishing of such information would
assist in the evaluation of the investment characteristics or valuation of the
Certificates or would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders or is
required by applicable law and (F) the Trustee shall be entitled to distribute
or make available such Additional Information in accordance with such reasonable
rules and procedures as it may deem necessary or appropriate (which may include
the requirement that an agreement that provides such information shall be used
solely for purposes of evaluating the investment characteristics or valuation of
the Certificates be executed by the recipient, if and to the extent the Trustee
deems the same to be necessary or appropriate). Nothing herein shall be
construed to impose upon the Trustee any obligation or duty to furnish or
distribute any Additional Information to any Person in any instance, and the
Trustee shall neither have any liability for furnishing or refraining from
furnishing Additional Information in any instance. The Trustee shall be
entitled (but not required) to request and receive direction from the Mortgage

Section 4.03. P&I Advances.
(a) Not later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on each Determination
Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, by electronic transmission (or
on such other medium as to which the Servicer and the Trustee may agree from

Pool as the Trustee shall reasonably require in order to perform its obligations
under this Agreement. The Trustee shall, not later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern

Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, by electronic transmission (or
on such other medium as to which the Servicer and the Trustee may agree from

- 134 -
(c) On or before 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time), on each P&I Advance

of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties in each Sub-Pool for the related Distribution Date, (ii) apply
amounts held in the Collection Account allocable to such Sub-Pool (other than
any portion thereof that constitutes a part of the Available Distribution Amount
for such Sub-Pool on the related Distribution Date) in discharge of any such
obligation to make P&I Advances, or (iii) make P&I Advances in the form of any
combination of (i) or (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be
made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Assets and REO Properties in
such Sub-Pool. Any amounts held in the Collection Account and so used pursuant
to clauses (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence to make P&I
Advances shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer's records and replaced
by the Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before the
Determination Date relating to the Distribution Date in respect of which such
amounts will constitute a portion of the Available Distribution Amount in
respect of the affected Sub-Pool (to the extent not previously replaced through
the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and interest in
respect of which such P&I Advances were made). If by 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on
any P&I Advance Date, the Trustee shall not have received from the Servicer the
aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, to be made by the Servicer on such P&I
Advance Date as calculated in accordance with Section 4.03(d), the Trustee shall
immediately so notify the Servicer by telephone. The Trustee shall make all P&I
Advances for any Distribution Date to the extent that the Servicer shall be in
default of its obligation to make such P&I Advances as required hereunder.
(d) The aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made by the
Servicer in respect of any Distribution Date shall, subject to subsection (e)
below, equal the aggregate of: (i) with respect to each Mortgage Asset other
than an REO Loan and other than a Non-Monthly Loan that does not have a Due Date
in the related Due Period, all Scheduled Payments (net of the Servicing Fee),
other than Balloon Payments, due (without regard to any acceleration of
principal under the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage) during the related Due
Period and for which no previous advance was made, which Scheduled Payments were
delinquent as of the close of business on the related Determination Date; (ii)
with respect to each Balloon Mortgage Loan as to which the related Balloon
Payment was due (without regard to any acceleration of principal under the
related Mortgage Note and Mortgage) during or prior to the related Due Period
and was delinquent as of the close of business on the related Determination
Date, the excess, if any, of (A) the Assumed Scheduled Payment in respect of
such Balloon Mortgage Loan for the Due Date during the related Due Period (net
of the Servicing Fee), over (B) any amounts received as of the related
Determination Date (and not previously distributed to Certificateholders) that
were paid by the related Mortgagor under a forbearance arrangement entered into
pursuant to Section 3.19 and applied as interest (net of the Servicing Fee) on
or principal of such Balloon Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any portion thereof
representing Late Collections reimbursable to the Servicer for prior P&I
Advances); (iii) with respect to each NonMonthly Loan that does not have a Due
Date in the related Due Period, the Monthly Portion of the Scheduled Payment (at
the Servicer's option, net of the Servicing Fee) for such Due Period; and (iv)
with respect to each REO Loan, the excess, if any, of (A) the REO Payment in
respect of such REO Loan for the Due Date during the related Due Period (net of
the Servicing Fee),
- 135 -
over (B) any related REO Revenues received during the related Due Period applied
as interest (net of the Servicing Fee) on the related REO Loan (exclusive of any
portion thereof representing Late Collections reimbursable to the Servicer for
prior P&I Advances).
(e) The obligation of the Servicer to make such P&I Advances is
mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement other than the
next succeeding paragraph, and with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan in
a particular Sub-Pool, shall continue until the Distribution Date on which the
proceeds, if any, received in connection with a Liquidation Event with respect
thereto are to be distributed.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, with respect to
either Sub-Pool, the applicable Available Sub-Pool Coverage Amount and the
Excess Coverage Amount, if any, have become exhausted, the Servicer shall be
obligated to make a P&I Advance in respect of any Mortgage Asset or REO Loan in
such Sub-Pool only to the extent of the portion thereof equal to a fraction, the
numerator of which is equal to the excess of the aggregate of the Class Balances
of the Certificates of the applicable Sub-Pool over the aggregate Uncovered
Portion thereof (as reported to the Servicer by the Trustee promptly upon
written request) and the denominator of which is the aggregate of the Class
Balances of such Sub-Pool. Additionally, no P&I Advance with respect to a
particular Mortgage Asset shall be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if
made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. The determination by the
Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance shall be
evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the
FDIC and the Trustee no later than the Business Day following such determination
which Officers' Certificate shall set forth such determination of
nonrecoverability and the procedure and consideration of the Servicer forming
the basis of such determination (including, without limitation, an appraisal
conducted in accordance with (i) the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal
Practice, as published by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal
Foundation or (ii) MAI standards (the cost of which shall be an Extraordinary
Expense) rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and Servicer
inquiries).
(f) The amount of any reimbursement pursuant to Section
3.05(a)(viii) in respect of any unreimbursed Advance shall be allocated: first,
to specific REO Properties (to the full extent of any such Advances outstanding
with respect to each), as to which title thereto has been held on behalf of the
related Sub-Pool of the Trust Fund for the longest period of time; and second,
to specific Mortgage Assets in each Sub-Pool (to the full extent of any such
Advances outstanding with respect to each), as to which Scheduled Payments have
been delinquent for the longest period of time. Allocation among REO Properties
that have been held for the same period of time, or among Mortgage Assets that
have similar numbers of delinquent Scheduled Payments, may be made by the
Servicer in its discretion.
(g) The rights of the Servicer and/or the Trustee to be reimbursed
for all Servicing Advances and P&I Advances, together with interest thereon
shall be an obligation of the related Sub-Pool of the Trust Fund for which the
Servicer and/or the Trustee has not been reimbursed and shall, subject to the
limitations of this Agreement as to the source of funds for
- 136 -
such reimbursement and the timing of such reimbursement, be prior to the rights
of Certificateholders to receive distributions on their respective Certificates.
(h) On the third Business Day prior to the related Demand Date,
the Servicer shall provide to the Trustee a report containing such information
as the Trustee shall require to prepare the demand to the FDIC for payments
under the Limited Guaranty. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to
recompute or verify such information.
Section 4.04. Limited Guaranty.
(a) The parties hereto acknowledge that the FDIC has delivered to
the Trustee its Limited Guaranty, to provide a source of funds to enhance the
likelihood of the receipt by the Certificateholders on each Distribution Date of
the amounts to be distributed with respect to such Distribution Date pursuant to
Sections 4.01. The Limited Guaranty shall not at any time be a part of the Trust
Fund (or part of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC).
(b) On each Demand Date, the Trustee shall: (i) make demands
under the Limited Guaranty in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 of
the Limited Guaranty; (ii) make available or cause to be made available the
Certificate Register to the FDIC, the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Servicer
during normal business hours of the Trustee at such time as any of them may
request; (iii) provide such other information to the FDIC, the Mortgage Loan
Seller or the Servicer, upon written request, as is available to it and as is
contemplated by the Limited Guaranty to be provided by it to the FDIC, the
Mortgage Loan Seller or the Servicer (as the case may be); and (iv) establish a
segregated trust account (the "Limited Guaranty Account"), which shall be an
Eligible Account held by the Trustee separate and apart from the Trust Fund, and
shall be designated "State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee in trust
for the registered holders of the FDIC REMIC Trust 1996-C1 Commercial Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1996-C1 - Limited Guaranty Account". If the
Trustee does not elect to establish and maintain a separate Limited Guaranty
Account with respect to each Sub-Pool, the Trustee shall at all times during the
term hereof maintain a separate ledger sub-account of the Limited Guaranty
Account for each Sub-Pool, which ledger sub-account shall accurately reflect
each deposit into and withdrawal from the Limited Guaranty Account that is
allocable to such Sub-Pool. The Trustee shall deposit any amount paid under the
Limited Guaranty in the Limited Guaranty Account and distribute such amount as
described in this Agreement. Amounts paid under the Limited Guaranty shall be
transferred to the Distribution Account and distributed by the Trustee to
Holders of Certificates in accordance with Section 4.01(a). It shall not be
necessary for such payments to be made by checks or wire transfers separate from
the checks or wire transfers used to pay the distributions to Certificateholders
with other funds available to make such payment. Amounts on deposit in the
Limited Guaranty Account shall not be invested. As long as the Distribution
Account is established at State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Limited
Guaranty Account shall also be established at State Street Bank and Trust
Company.
- 137 -
(c) On or prior to the Closing Date, and from time-to-time thereafter,
the Trustee shall provide or cause to be provided to the FDIC wire transfer
instructions or other instructions sufficient to permit the FDIC to effect wire
transfers pursuant to the Limited Guaranty to the Limited Guaranty Account. The
Trustee shall accept and hold all amounts so paid or transferred in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement. Any funds remaining in the Limited
Guaranty Account on the first Business Day following a Distribution Date shall
be promptly remitted to the FDIC.
(d) The Servicer shall notify the Trustee by means of an Officers'
Certificate of the amount of any recovery in respect of a Mortgage Asset (and
the Sub-Pool to which such Mortgage Asset relates) as to which a claim under the
Limited Guaranty previously has been made.
Section 4.05. Demands on the Limited Guaranty.
(a) On the fourth Business Day prior to the related Distribution
Date the Trustee will determine the applicable Guarantied Amount and so notify
the FDIC by facsimile by delivery of a Demand for Payment, in the form attached
to the Limited Guaranty as Exhibit A.
-------
(b) Any distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 to
Certificateholders of amounts attributable to the Guarantied Amount for such
Distribution Date shall not be considered distributions of payments on the
Mortgage Assets, and shall give rise to the right of the FDIC to be reimbursed
for such amounts to the extent provided in the Limited Guaranty.
(c) With respect to each Distribution Date, to the extent of any
distributions to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 of Guarantied
Amounts, the FDIC shall become subrogated to the rights of the Holders of the
Certificates to receive, on future Determination Dates, all Liquidation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and other payments and recoveries received by the
Servicer as proceeds of the related Mortgage Asset or REO Property. Distribution
of such amounts shall be made by the Servicer on each Determination Date in
immediately available funds from the Collection Account directly to the FDIC
pursuant to payment instructions specified by the FDIC from time-to-time.
(d) The Trustee shall cause records to be kept as to the amounts
subject to the subrogation described in Section 4.05(c). The FDIC shall not
acquire any Voting Rights under this Agreement as the result of any subrogation
described in Section 4.05(c).
Section 4.06. Obligations of the FDIC in respect of Basis Risk
Shortfalls.
(a) On the third Business Day prior to each Distribution Date the
Trustee will determine the Basis Risk Shortfall for the related Distribution
Date and will on such Business Day so notify the FDIC by facsimile of the amount
of such Basis Risk Shortfall.
- 138 -
(b) With respect to any Distribution Date as to which there is a
Basis Risk Shortfall, the FDIC shall deliver to the Trustee on or before 10:00
a.m. on the related P&I Advance Date for deposit in the Distribution Account and
distribution on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01 the lesser of
the total amount of such shortfall and the Basis Risk Support Amount. The amount
paid pursuant to this provision shall be charged against the amount available
under the Limited Guaranty.
Section 4.07. Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonment of Mortgaged
Property.
Each year beginning in 1997, the Servicer or the Sub-Servicers shall
file the reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and
the informational returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with
respect to any Mortgaged Property required by Sections 6050J and 6050P of the
Code, respectively, and deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating
that such reports have been filed. Such reports shall be in form and substance
sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050J and
6050P of the Code.
Section 4.08. Reimbursement of Advances.
The Servicer and the Trustee shall be reimbursed for any Advances by
the Trust Fund, and will be entitled to recover any such Advance from Related
Proceeds. In the event such Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable
Advance, the Servicer or the Trustee shall be reimbursed from the Limited
Guaranty to the extent of the applicable Available Sub-Pool Coverage Amount and
any Excess Coverage Amount or from general funds with respect to the related
Sub-Pool on deposit in the Collection Account. The Servicer and the Trustee
will be entitled to receive interest at a rate equal to the Servicer
Reimbursement Rate accrued on the amount of such Advance from the date paid by
the Servicer to but not including the date of reimbursement, payable to the
extent of available funds from Lower-Tier REMIC Residual Cash Flow in accordance
with Section 1.05(b)(iii) and, to the extent remaining unpaid at the time of
recovery of the related Advance, from Related Proceeds, from the Limited
Guaranty or from general funds with respect to the related Sub-Pool on deposit
in the Collection Account. Notwithstanding such reimbursement, the Servicer
shall pursue recovery of such Advances from the related Mortgagors.

issuable only in denominations corresponding to initial Certificate Balances as
of the Closing Date of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof; provided, however, that if the Original Class Balance of any such Class
does not equal an integral multiple of $1,000, then a single additional
Certificate of such Class may be issued in a denomination corresponding to an
initial Certificate Balance as of the Closing Date that includes the excess of
(i) the aggregate Original Class Balance of such Class over (ii) the largest
integral multiple of $1,000 that does not exceed such amount. The Class I-A and
Class II-A Certificates will be issuable only in denominations corresponding to
initial Certificate Balances as of the Closing Date of $10,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that if the Original

then a single additional Certificate of each Class may be issued in a

Date that does not include the excess of (i) the aggregate Original Class
Balance of such Class over (ii) the largest integral multiple of $1,000 that

authorized officer under its seal imprinted thereon. Certificates bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper
officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at
the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such
Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided
for herein executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual signature, and such
certificate upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such
- 140 -
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
Section 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) At all times during the term of this Agreement, there shall be
maintained at the office of the Certificate Registrar a Certificate Register in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Certificate Registrar may
prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
The Trustee is hereby initially appointed (and hereby agrees to act) as
Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers
and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Certificate Registrar may
appoint any other bank or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar under
such conditions as the predecessor Certificate Registrar may prescribe, provided
that the predecessor Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its
duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment. The
Servicer shall have the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a
copy thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a
certificate of the Certificate Registrar as to the information set forth in the
Certificate Register.
(b) No transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate shall be made
unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. If
such a transfer is to be made without registration or qualification, then the
Certificate Registrar shall require (except in the case of the initial transfer
of the Class I-XS, the Class II-XS and Residual Certificates to the FDIC or the
Mortgage Loan Seller, as the case may be), in order to assure compliance with
such laws, receipt of: (i) if such transfer is of a Non-Registered Certificate
and is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act,
either (A) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-1 hereto, or (B) a
-------
certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-2 hereto and a certificate from
-------
such Certificateholder's prospective transferee substantially in the form
attached as Exhibit C-3 hereto; and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of
-------
Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar to the effect that such
transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the FDIC, the
Mortgage Loan Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in
their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s)
as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to
effect such transfer and/or such Certificateholder's prospective transferee on
which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the FDIC, the Mortgage Loan
Seller, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or
qualify the Non-Registered Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other
securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement
to permit the transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate without registration or
qualification. Any holder of a Non-Registered Certificate desiring to effect
such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Certificate
- 141 -
Registrar, the FDIC and the Mortgage Loan Seller 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.
(c) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate or any interest
therein shall be made to (A) any employee benefit plan or other retirement
arrangement, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Xxxxx plans
and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans,
accounts or arrangements are invested, that is subject to ERISA, or the Code
(each, a "Plan") or (B) any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing the
ERISA-Restricted Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named
fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan, unless the prospective
transferee provides the Certificate Registrar with a certification of facts and
an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the prospective transferee) which
establish to the satisfaction of the Certificate Registrar that such transfer
will not result in a violation of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code or cause the Servicer or the Trustee to be deemed a fiduciary of such Plan
or result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code. In
the absence of its having received the certification and Opinion of Counsel
contemplated by the preceding sentence, the Certificate Registrar shall require
the prospective transferee of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate to certify that
it is neither (A) a Plan nor (B) a Person who is directly or indirectly
purchasing such ERISA-Restricted Certificate on behalf of, as named fiduciary
of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan.
(d) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of
such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions
and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee or its designee under clause
(iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to
negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to
execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in
connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a United States Person and a Permitted
Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending
change in its status as a United States Person or a Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery to
it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until
its receipt of, (I) an affidavit and agreement (a "Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement" in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-l) from the proposed
-------
Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee representing
and warranting, among other things, that it is a United States Person and a
Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in
the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a
nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee
or a United States Person, that for so long as it retains its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted
- 142 -
Transferee and a United States Person, and that it has reviewed the
provisions of this Section 5.02 and agrees to be bound by them, and (II) a
certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2, from the holder
-------
wishing to transfer the Residual Certificate, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Servicer and the Trustee representing and warranting,
among other things, that no purpose of the proposed Transfer is to impede
the assessment or collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible
Officer assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee or a United States Person, no
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to such
proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer
its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer
its Ownership Interest unless it provides a certificate to the Trustee in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2.
-------
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such
Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a "pass-
through interest holder" within the meaning of Temporary Treasury
Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it is "a pass-through
interest holder", or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate on behalf of a "pass-through interest holder".
(ii) The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Residual
Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-1, a certificate of the Holder
-------
requesting such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2 and all of
-------
such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trustee as a
condition to such registration. Transfers of the Residual Certificates to Non-
United States Persons and Disqualified Organizations are prohibited.
(iii) If any Disqualified Organization shall become a holder of a
Residual Certificate, then the last preceding Holder shall be restored, to the
extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Residual
Certificate. If a Non-United States Person shall become a holder of a Residual
Certificate, then the last preceding United States Person shall be restored, to
the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Residual
Certificate. If a transfer of a Residual Certificate is disregarded pursuant to
the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-2 or Section 1.860G-3,
then the last preceding Holder shall be restored, to the extent permitted by
law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall
be under no liability to any Person for any registration
- 143 -
of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this
Section 5.02 or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the holder
thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such holder under the
provisions of this Agreement.
(iv) The Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue
Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions, all information
necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the transfer of an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a
Permitted Transferee and a United States Person, including the information
regarding "excess inclusions" of such Residual Certificates required to be
provided to the Internal Revenue Service and certain Persons as described in
Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860D-l(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5), and (B) as a
result of any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common
trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381
of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as
among its record holders at any time any Person who is not a Permitted
Transferee or a United States Person. The Trustee may charge and shall be
entitled to reasonable compensation for providing such information as may be
required from those Persons which may have had a tax imposed upon them as
specified in clauses (A) and (B) of this paragraph for providing such
information.
(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office of the Certificate
Registrar, the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate
Percentage Interest.
(f) At the option of any Holder, its Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of authorized denominations of the same Class of a like
aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the office of the Certificate Registrar. Whenever any Certificates
are so surrendered for exchange the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate
Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(g) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or
exchange shall (if so required by the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed
by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof
or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(h) No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(i) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
physically cancelled by the Certificate Registrar and a certificate of such
cancellation shall be delivered to
- 144 -
the Trustee by the Certificate Registrar. The Certificate Registrar shall hold
and dispose of such cancelled Certificates in accordance with its standard
procedures.
(j) Unless the Servicer is acting as Certificate Registrar, the
Certificate Registrar shall be required to provide notice to the Servicer of
each transfer of a Certificate and to provide the Servicer with an updated copy
of the Certificate Register on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing
January 1, 1997.
(k) The Certificate Registrar may conclusively rely upon any
certificate, affidavit, opinion or other document delivered to it pursuant to
this Section.
(l) Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall have
any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with
any restriction on transfer imposed under 5.02(c), (d) or (e) under this
Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any Non-
Registered Certificate, Residual Certificate or ERISA-Restricted Certificate or
any interest therein, other than to require delivery of the certification(s)
and/or Opinions of Counsel described in said Sections applicable with respect to
changes in registration of record ownership of Certificates in the Certificate
Register and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form
with the express requirements of this Agreement. The Trustee and Certificate
Registrar shall have no liability for transfers, including transfers made
through the book-entry facilities of the Depository or between or among
Depository Participants or Certificate Owners, made in violation of applicable
restrictions except for its failure to perform its express duties in connection
with changes in registration of record ownership in the Certificate Register.
Section 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered
to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may
be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of
notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate
and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and like Percentage
Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the
Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient-to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in
the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or
destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
- 145 -
Section 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Mortgage Loan Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the person in whose name any
Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of

Section 5.06. Book-Entry Certificates.
(a) The Regular Certificates, other than the Stripped Interest
Certificates, shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates registered
in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided in
subsection (c) below, transfer of such Certificates may not be registered by the
Trustee unless such transfer is to a successor Depository that agrees to hold
such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests
therein. Such Certificate Owners shall hold and transfer their respective
Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates through the book-entry
facilities of the Depository and, except as provided in subsection (c) below,
shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates ("Definitive
Certificates") in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by
Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the

Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage
finns for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's normal
procedures.
(b) The Trustee, the Servicer and the Mortgage Loan Seller may for
all purposes, including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry
Certificates, deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the
Certificate Owners with respect to such Certificates for the purposes of

Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the
Mortgage Loan Seller, Depository Participants and brokerage finns representing
such Certificate Owners; provided that no such agreement shall give any rights
to any Certificateholder against the Servicer or the Trustee without the written
consent of the party so affected. Multiple requests and directions from, and
votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect
to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable
record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by
Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.
(c) If (i)(A) the Mortgage Loan Seller advises the Trustee in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly
its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the
Mortgage Loan Seller is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (ii) the
Mortgage Loan Seller at its option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects
to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository Seller, the
Certificate Registrar shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the
Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of
transfer, the Trustee shall execute and authenticate and deliver the Definitive
Certificates to the Certificate Owners identified in such instructions.
Definitive Certificates shall be provided to the Trustee by the Mortgage Loan
Seller. The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Trustee shall not be liable for any
delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall
be protected in
- 147 -
relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates for
purposes of evidencing ownership of the Regular Certificates, the registered
holders of the Definitive Certificates shall be recognized as Certificateholders
hereunder and, accordingly, shall be entitled directly to receive payment on, to
exercise Voting Rights with respect to, and to transfer and exchange such
Definitive Certificates.

Servicer.
The Mortgage Loan Seller, the FDIC and the Servicer shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the respective obligations
specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Mortgage Loan Seller, the FDIC
and the Servicer herein.
Section 6.02. Merger, Consolidation or Conversion of the Mortgage
Loan Seller or the Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Servicer will each keep in
full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and each will obtain and preserve its
qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in
which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Assets
and to perform its duties under this Agreement.
The Mortgage Loan Seller, the FDIC or the Servicer may be merged or
consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of
its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Mortgage Loan Seller, the FDIC or the Servicer shall
be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Mortgage Loan
Seller, the FDIC or the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Mortgage Loan
Seller, the FDIC or the 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.
Section 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Mortgage Loan Seller,
the FDIC, the Servicer and Others.
Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller, the FDIC, the Servicer nor any of
the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Mortgage Loan Seller, the
FDIC, or the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Mortgage Loan
Seller, the FDIC, the Servicer or any such Person against any breach of
warranties or representations made herein, or against any specific liability
imposed on the Servicer pursuant to any Section hereof, or against any liability
which would otherwise be imposed by reason of misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties. The Mortgage Loan Seller, the FDIC,
the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Mortgage Loan
Seller, the FDIC or the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any
kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person
respecting any matters arising
- 149 -
hereunder. The Mortgage Loan Seller, the FDIC, the Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Mortgage Loan Seller, the FDIC, or the
Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any
loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action or claim

terms hereof or otherwise incidental to the performance of obligations and
duties hereunder, including, without limitation, in the case of the Servicer,
the prosecution (but not the defense of any counterclaim) of an enforcement
action in respect of any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any
such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise payable or reimbursable

or negligence in the performance of duties; (iii) incurred in connection with

reimbursable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Neither the Mortgage Loan
Seller, the FDIC nor .the Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its
respective duties under this Agreement and in its opinion does not involve it in
any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Mortgage Loan Seller, the
FDIC or the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it
may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights
and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund, and the Mortgage Loan Seller, the FDIC and the Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor as an Extraordinary Expense.
Section 6.04. Resignation of the Servicer.
(a) Except as permitted by paragraph (b) hereof, the Servicer shall
not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, except upon
determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any
other activities carried on by it, the other activities of the Servicer so
causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer at
the date of this Agreement. Any such determination permitting the resignation
of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the
expense of the Servicer) to such effect which shall be delivered to the Trustee.

servicer shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations in
accordance with Section 7.02.

such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant
and condition to be performed or observed by the Servicer hereunder from and
after the date of such agreement; (ii) the Servicer bears all costs associated
with its resignation and the transfer of servicing; (iii) each Rating Agency
shall have confirmed that the rating or ratings on each class of Certificates
then rated that were in effect immediately prior to such

result of such servicing transfer, as evidenced by a letter delivered to the
Trustee by each Rating Agency; (iv) the Servicer shall not be released from its
obligations hereunder that arose prior to the date on which the foregoing

obligations hereunder that arose prior to the effective date of such assignment
and delegation under this Section 6.04(c); and (iv) the Servicing Fee Rate (or
any component thereof) shall not exceed the rate then in effect. Upon

permit the FDIC to visit the offices of the Servicer during normal business
hours to view the servicing operations of the Servicer insofar as they relate to
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Upon reasonable
written request, the Servicer shall furnish the Mortgage Loan Seller, the FDIC

applicable to it or by law, regulation or ruling from disclosing, regarding its
business, affairs, property and condition, financial or otherwise solely as they
relate to the Mortgage Loans and the transactions contemplated by this

obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Servicer hereunder and may, but is
not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted
obligation of the Servicer hereunder or exercise rights of the Servicer
hereunder; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be relieved of
- 151 -
any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Mortgage
Loan Seller, the FDIC or a designee of either. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller
nor the FDIC shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or
failure to act by the Servicer and neither is obligated to supervise the
performance of the Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section 6.06. The Mortgage Loan Seller, the FDIC and the Servicer to
Cooperate with the Trustee.

reports, certifications and information as are reasonably requested by the
Trustee in writing. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if any
Person other than the Trustee requests the Servicer to prepare a document or
report not specifically provided for in this Agreement, the expense of preparing
such report or document shall be borne by such Person; provided, however, that
if such Person is the Trustee or if such report is requested by

of preparing such report shall be an Extraordinary Expense. The Servicer may
disseminate all reports and information relative to the Mortgage Assets to any
Person electronically or otherwise.
Section 6.07. The Mortgage Loan Seller, the FDIC and the Trustee to
Cooperate with the Servicer.
The Mortgage Loan Seller, the FDIC and the Trustee each shall furnish

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 remit to the Trustee for deposit
in the Distribution Account any amount required to be so remitted under the
terms of this Agreement;
(ii) any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or
perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on
the part of the Servicer contained in this Agreement which continues
unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice
of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given
to the Servicer by the Mortgage Loan Seller (with a copy to the Trustee) or
the Trustee, or to the Servicer (with a copy to the Mortgage Loan Seller
and the Trustee) by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of
the Voting Rights; or
(iii) any breach of the representations and warranties contained in
Section 2.03(b) which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders and which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days
after the date on which notice of such breach, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Mortgage Loan Seller
or the Trustee, or to the Servicer (with a copy to the Mortgage Loan Seller
and the Trustee) by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of
the Voting Rights of any Class affected thereby; or
(iv) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any
present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or
the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar
official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling
of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer
and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or
unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
(v) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator,
receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy,
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling 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
any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors,
- 153 -
voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations, or take any corporate
action furtherance of the foregoing;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not
have been remedied, the Trustee, the FDIC (for so long as the Limited Guaranty
remains outstanding with respect to a Sub-Pool) or the holders of 25% of the
outstanding principal amount of any Sub-Pool Certificates may, terminate all of
the rights and obligations (including, without limitation, all obligations of
the Servicer to make Servicing Advances and P&I Advances or incur any expenses
pursuant hereto), except in respect of rights (including the right of the
Servicer to recover Advances) and obligations accruing prior to such termination
of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof. From and after the receipt by the Servicer of
such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this
Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a holder of
any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested
in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the
Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
and at the expense 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 Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer agrees
promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such
notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and records, including those
in electronic form, requested by it to enable it or any successor Servicer
appointed pursuant to 6.02, 6.04(c) or 7.01 to assume the Servicer's functions
hereunder, and to cooperate with the Trustee or any successor Servicer appointed
pursuant to 6.02, 6.04(c) or 7.01 in effecting the termination of the Servicer's
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including without limitation, the
transfer within two Business Days to the Trustee for administration by it of all
cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the
Servicer to the Collection Account, any Escrow Account or, if established, the
REO Account or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any
REO Property (provided, however, that the Servicer shall continue to be entitled
to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior
to the date of such termination, whether in respect of P&I Advances or
otherwise, and it and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03 notwithstanding any such
termination).
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, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to
the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter
placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof including without
limitation, the Servicer's obligation to make P&I Advances; provided that if the
Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make
advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Trustee shall not be
obligated to make such P&I Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; and provided,
further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by
the
- 154 -
Servicer's failure to provide information or monies required by Section 7.01
shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder and shall have no
liability as a result of a failure or delay by the predecessor servicer to
transfer and records or amounts to it as provided in Section 7.01. The Trustee
shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the
Servicer or for any losses incurred by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06
hereunder nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Asset
hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to the
Servicing Fees and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which the Servicer
would have been entitled to charge to the Collection Account or, if established,
the REO Account if the Servicer had continued to act hereunder.
On the termination of the Servicer, the Trustee will follow the
procedures set forth in Section 3.22 to secure one or more successors to perform
the Servicing Functions and Special Servicing Function. If the Trustee fails to
secure adequate successors and if the Trustee is unwilling to so act, or shall,
if it is unable to so act or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
51% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint,
or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established
mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to the Rating Agencies 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. Except with
respect to an appointment provided below, no appointment of a successor to the
Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the assumption of the successor to
the Servicer of all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder.
Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall
act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. Notwithstanding the above, the
Trustee shall, if it is prohibited by law or regulation from making advances
regarding delinquent mortgage loans, promptly appoint (subject to the approval
of each Rating Agency) any established mortgage loan servicing institution
having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 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 (including without limitation, the
obligation to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 4.03), which appointment
will become effective immediately. In connection with such appointment and
assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such
successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in
excess of that permitted the Servicer hereunder. The Mortgage Loan Seller, the
Trustee, the Custodian, if any, and such successor shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession.
Section 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any such termination pursuant to Section 7.01 above or any
appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02, the Trustee
shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their
respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
(b) Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence of any
event which constitutes or, with notice or lapse of time or both, would
constitute an Event of Default
- 155 -
or 5 days after a Responsible Officer becomes aware of the occurrence of such an
event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Mortgage Loan Seller and all
Certificateholders notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have
been cured or waived.
Section 7.04. Waiver of Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights evidenced
by all Classes of Certificates affected by any Event of Default hereunder may
waive such Event of Default; provided, however, that an Event of Default under
clause (i) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Certificateholders.
Upon any such waiver of an Event of Default, such Event of Default shall cease
to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder.
No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or
impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, for purposes of waiving
any Event of Default pursuant to this Section 7.04, Certificates registered in
the name of the Mortgage Loan Seller or any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan
Seller shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to the matters described
above.
Section 7.05. Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Event of Default.
During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event
of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights
specified in Section 7.01, shall have the right, in its own name and as trustee
of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in
equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the
interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders
(including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and
other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy
provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each
and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no
delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or
remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

and after the curing of all such Events of Default which may have
occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be

judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in

action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in

Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee,
under this Agreement; and
(iv) Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not be required to expend its own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties
hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against liability is not
reasonably assured to it.
(d) The Trustee shall furnish the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designees,
the Managing Underwriters, and (for the information set forth in clauses (i) and
(ii) below only) Bloomberg Financial Services and the Xxxxx Group with (i)

the Certificateholders in order to enable the Mortgage Loan Seller and the
Managing Underwriters to monitor the allocation of collections on the Mortgage
Loans, along with other amounts described in the Agreement, as payments to the
Certificateholders; provided, that the Trustee shall not be required to provide
--------
any analytical or other reports or information generated by the Trustee for

(i) The Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected
in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers'

of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to make any
investigation of
- 158 -
matters arising hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any

direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions
of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered
to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; the
Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or

liability is not reasonably assured to it; nothing contained herein
shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been cured or
waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by
this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the

reasonably taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed
by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers
conferred upon it by this Agreement;

and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have
occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, approval, bond or other paper or document furnished to it
hereunder, unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; provided,
however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee
of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in
the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee,
not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it
by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable

notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the
Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the
Holders of the Certificates and this Agreement; and
(ix) The Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or
omission of the Certificate Registrar (unless the Trustee or an

Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.04(d) hereof) unless it shall have obtained
an Opinion of Counsel, at no expense to the Trustee, the Servicer or the Trust
Fund, to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not
cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as
a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject the Trust
Fund to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of
federal, state and local law or ordinances.
Section 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates, other than the
Certificate of Authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Mortgage
Loan Seller, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for

sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as to the due authorization, execution
and delivery thereof by it or of the Certificates (other than as to the due
authorization and execution thereof by it or of any Mortgage Loan or related
document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by
the Mortgage Loan Seller of any of the Certificates issued to it or of the
proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid
to the Mortgage Loan Seller in respect of the assignment of the Mortgage Loans
to the Trust Fund, or any funds deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection
Account or any other account by or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller or the
Servicer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of

Trustee's Fee. As to each Mortgage Asset and REO Loan, the Trustee's Fee shall
accrue at the Trustee Fee Rate
- 160 -
and shall be computed on the basis of the same principal amount and for the same
period respecting which any related interest payment due on the Mortgage Loans
is computed (except that for purposes of calculating its fee, each Mortgage Loan
shall be deemed to accrue interest on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months). From time-to-time the Trustee may request the Servicer
to withdraw, and the Servicer shall pay, from the Collection Account the
Trustee's Fee, to the extent not paid from the Distribution Account all amounts
necessary to reimburse the Trustee for all ongoing reasonable expenses and
disbursements incurred or made by the Trustee in the course of performing its
duties in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the

counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ, but excluding allocable
overhead), other than any such expense or disbursement (i) specifically required
to be borne thereby pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the Trustee's
obligations and duties hereunder, or by reason of reckless disregard of such
obligations and duties, (iii) as may arise from a breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant of the Trustee made herein or (iv) except as otherwise
provided in Section 8.11, incurred in connection with the use of any Custodian;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall not refuse to perform any of its
duties under this Agreement solely as a result of the failure of the Servicer or
the Trust Fund to pay the Trustee's fees and expenses.
(b) The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Trustee shall be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund
(which amounts shall be Extraordinary Expenses) against any loss, liability or
expense (including, without limitation, costs and expenses of litigation, and of
investigation, counsel fees, damages, judgments and amounts paid in settlement)
arising out of, or incurred in connection with, any act or omission of the
Trustee relating to the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties
of the Trustee hereunder; provided that neither the Trustee nor any of the other
above specified Persons shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this
Section 8.05(b) for any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the Trustee's
obligations and duties hereunder, or by reason of reckless disregard of such
obligations or duties, or as may arise from a breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant of the Trustee made herein. The provisions of this Section
8.05(b) shall survive any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment
of a successor trustee.
(c) The Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for any liability or
assessment against the Trustee resulting from any negligent error or omission in
any information furnished in writing or by electronic means by the Servicer to
the Trustee that is reasonably necessary for the Trustee to perform its duties
pursuant to Section 10.01(e).
(d) The Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for any loss, liability
or expense (including without limitation costs and expenses of litigation, and
of investigation, counsel fees, damages, judgments and amounts paid in
settlement) arising in respect of the Servicer's negligent acts or omissions in
connection with its performance of its duties under this Agreement or the
Certificates that are done or omitted in violation of its obligations under this
Agreement (including without limitation servicing, foreclosures or liquidations,
and any resultant liability
- 161 -
therefrom) (other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee in the performance
of duties hereunder, or as may arise from a breach of any representation or
warranty of the Trustee set forth herein or from any failure of the Trustee to
perform its obligations set forth in Section 8.12); provided, however, that the
indemnification provided for in this Section 8.05(d) shall only be effective
upon exhaustion by the Trustee of its claims against the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 8.05(b) and the termination of the Collection Account upon
the final withdrawal of funds from the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.05(a)(xiv). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing
indemnification shall not benefit the Trustee or any director, officer, employee
or agent of the Trustee insofar as any such loss, liability or expense arises
out of the Trustee's acting in any capacity other than as Trustee, including
without limitation as successor Servicer.
(e) In the event that any loss, liability or expense arises from the
issuance or sale of the Certificates and the indemnification provided to the
Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.05 is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the
Trustee may deduct from the Collection Account the amount of any such liability
as may arise by reason of the acts or omissions of others.
(f) The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement. Any payment hereunder made by the Mortgage Loan Seller, the
FDIC or the Servicer to the Trustee shall be from its own funds, without
reimbursement therefor from Certificateholders or the Trust Fund.
Section 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

United States of America or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws
to exercise 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 rated "BBB" by Duff & Xxxxxx or otherwise acceptable to Duff & Xxxxxx. If
such association or corporation publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital
and surplus of such association or corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07. The
Trustee shall not have its place .of business from which it administers the
Trust Fund in any state or local jurisdiction that imposes a tax on the Trust
Fund on the net income of a REMIC (other than a tax corresponding to a tax
imposed under the REMIC Provisions). The corporation or association serving as
Trustee may have banking and trust relationships with the Mortgage Loan Seller,
the FDIC and its Affiliates or the Servicer and its Affiliates.
- 162 -
Section 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
(a) The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the
trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Rating Agencies,
the FDIC, the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Servicer and to all Certificateholders.
Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall
promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to the successor
trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders
and the Servicer by the Mortgage Loan Seller. If no successor trustee shall
have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the
giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
(b) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Mortgage Loan Seller, or if at any time the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed,
or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, then the Mortgage Loan Seller may remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be
delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the successor trustee. A copy of
such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Servicer by
the Mortgage Loan Seller.
(c) The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller, one complete set to the Trustee
so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such
instrument shall be delivered to the remaining Certificateholders and the
Servicer by the Mortgage Loan Seller.
(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not
become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.
Section 8.08. Successor Trustee.
(a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Mortgage Loan Seller and to its
predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become
effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor
trustee all Mortgage Files and related
- 163 -
documents and statements held by it hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at
the time held by a Custodian, which shall become the agent of any successor
trustee hereunder), and the Mortgage Loan Seller and the predecessor trustee
shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may
reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in the
successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations, and to enable
the successor trustee to perform its obligations hereunder.
(b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section unless at the time of such acceptance (i) such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06, (ii) the long-term unsecured
debt obligations of such successor (or, in the case of the principal depository
institution in a depository institution holding company, the long-term unsecured
debt obligations of such depository institution holding company) are rated "BBB"
or better by Duff & Xxxxxx and "Aa2" or better by Xxxxx'x and (iii) such
successor trustee shall otherwise be acceptable to the Rating Agencies.
(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided
in this Section, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall mail notice of the succession of
such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as
shown in the Certificate Register. If the Mortgage Loan Seller 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 Mortgage Loan Seller.
Section 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding
to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the
Trustee hereunder, provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions
of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute
and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the
Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and
to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust
Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section
8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and
the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have
joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request
to do so, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Trustee alone shall
- 164 -
have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee
hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of
the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under
Section 8.08 hereof.
(b) In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or
as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers,
duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any
portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by
such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
(d) 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.
(e) The appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee under this
Section 8.10 shall not relieve the Trustee of its duties and responsibilities
hereunder.
Section 8.11. Appointment of Custodians.
The Trustee may appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a
portion of the Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee. Subject to the other
provisions of this Article VIII, the Trustee agrees to enforce the terms and
provisions of Sections 2.01 and 2.02 hereof against the Custodian for the
benefit of the Certificateholders. Each Custodian shall be a depository
institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have
combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 (unless the Trustee shall
have guaranteed the availability of capital in such amount), shall be qualified
to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File and shall
not be the Mortgage Loan Seller or any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan
- 165 -
Seller. Each Custodian shall be subject to the same obligations and standard of
care as are imposed on the initial Custodian hereunder in connection with the
retention of Mortgage Files. The appointment of one or more Custodians shall
not relieve the Trustee from any of its obligations hereunder, and the Trustee
shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions of any Custodian. The fees
and expenses of the Custodian, to the extent not in excess of fees and expenses
charged by the Trustee for custodial services under this Agreement, shall be
paid directly by the FDIC or, if paid directly by the Trustee, reimbursed to the
Trustee by the FDIC.
Section 8.12. Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.
The Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Servicer, the FDIC
and the Mortgage Loan Seller, as of the Closing Date, that:
(i) The Trustee is a banking corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Trustee,
and the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the
Trustee, will not violate the Trustee's charter or bylaws or constitute a
default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would
constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material
agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable
to it or any of its assets.
(iii) The Trustee has the full power and authority to enter into and
consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly
authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and
has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.
(iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by the Servicer, the FDIC and the Mortgage Loan Seller,
constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Trustee,
enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof,
subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
receivership, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles of equity,
regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law.
(v) The Trustee is not in violation of, and its execution and
delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the
terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any
order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand
of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority, which
violation, is likely to affect materially and adversely the condition
(financial or other) or operations of the Trustee or the ability of the
Trustee to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
- 166 -
(vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Trustee's
knowledge, threatened against the Trustee which would prohibit the Trustee
from entering into this Agreement or, is likely to materially and adversely
affect the condition (financial or other) or operations of the Trustee or
the ability of the Trustee to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
Section 8.13. Filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Trustee shall, prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission any and all reports, statements and information respecting the Trust
Fund and/or the Certificates required to be filed (including such filings as are
required to be made by XXXXX or other electronic system), and shall solicit any
and all proxies of the Certificateholders whenever such proxies are required to
be solicited, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The
cost of the foregoing shall be an Extraordinary Expense. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, within 15 days following the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller
shall prepare, and the Trustee shall execute and file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, a report on Form 8-K setting forth information with respect
to the Mortgage Loans included in the Trust Fund on the Closing Date.
The Trustee is authorized, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to execute and
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on
Form S-11, together with amendments thereto, and such other forms and statements
relating to the sale of the Certificates in any state, as may be requested of it
by the Mortgage Loan Seller or any designee thereof and the execution and filing
of any such documents prior to the execution and delivery hereof is hereby
ratified and confirmed.
Section 8.14. Filings with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The Trustee shall make all filings required by Massachusetts General
Laws Chapter 182, Sections 2 and 14, and any other filings relating to the
organization and qualification of the trust and the Trustee required by
applicable state law.

ARTICLE IX.
TERMINATION
Section 9.01. Termination Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of All
Mortgage Assets.
(a) Subject to Section 9.03 and Section 8.05(e), the respective
obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Mortgage Loan
Seller, the FDIC, the Servicer and the Trustee (other than the obligations of
the Trustee to provide for and make payments to Certificateholders as hereafter
set forth) shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders and the
deposit of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Servicer and required
hereunder to be so paid or deposited on the Distribution Date following the
earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by the FDIC, the Mortgage Loan Seller, the
Servicer or the Class R-LT Certificateholder having the largest Percentage
Interest in such Class (the "Controlling Class R-LT Certificateholder"), at the
option of any of them, of all Mortgage Assets and each REO Property remaining in
the Lower-Tier REMIC at a price equal to the greater of (1) the aggregate
Purchase Price of all the Mortgage Assets included in the Lower-Tier REMIC, plus
the appraised value of each REO Property, if any, included in the Lower-Tier
REMIC, such appraisal to be conducted by an Independent MAI-appraiser selected
by the Servicer, minus, if the Purchaser is the Servicer, the aggregate amount
of xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances and Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees
remaining outstanding (which items shall be deemed to have been paid or
reimbursed to the Servicer in connection with such purchase), and (2) the
aggregate fair market value of all of the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC (as
determined by the Servicer as of the close of business on the third Business Day
next preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished
to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 9.01(b)), and (ii) the final payment
or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Asset or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund; provided, however, that in no
event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years
from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx,
the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on
the date hereof.
(b) The Servicer, the FDIC, the Mortgage Loan Seller, or the
Controlling Class R-LT Certificateholder, may make an election to purchase all
of the Mortgage Assets and each REO Property remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC
pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph by giving written notice to
the Trustee, the FDIC, the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Servicer and the
Controlling Class R-LT Certificateholder (excepting such electing party), no
later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however,
that the Servicer, the FDIC, the Mortgage Loan Seller, or the Controlling Class
R-LT Certificateholder may elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Assets and each
REO Property remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC pursuant to clause (i) of Section
9.01(a) only if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Assets
and any REO Loans remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC at the time of such election
is less than 10% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Assets.
The right of the parties to purchase the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC shall be
in the following priority (i) the Controlling Class R-LT Certificateholder, (ii)
the FDIC, (iii) the
- 168 -
Mortgage Loan Seller and (iv) the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
party with the prior right shall have the right prior to the right of another
party if, and only if, upon receipt by it of notice of another party's election
to purchase the Mortgage Assets and each REO Property remaining in the Lower-
Tier REMIC pursuant to this clause (b), it notifies the other parties and the
Trustee within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice of its
election to purchase the Mortgage Assets and each REO Property. Any purchase of
all of the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC shall cause a termination of the
Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC.
(c) Notice of any termination of the Lower-Tier REMIC (and, in turn,
the Upper-Tier REMIC) shall be given by the Servicer by letter to the Trustee
for timely delivery to the Certificateholders mailed (a) in the event such
notice is given in connection with the Servicer's, the FDIC's, the Mortgage Loan
Seller's or the Controlling Class R-LT Certificateholder's purchase of the
Mortgage Assets and each REO Property, during the month next preceding the month
of the final distribution on the Certificates or (b) otherwise during the month
of such final distribution on or before the Determination Date in such month, in
each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund will
terminate and final payment of the Certificates will be made upon presentation
and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar therein
designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the Record
Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments
being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the
office of the Certificate Registrar. Unless it is acting as Certificate
Registrar, the Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at
the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice
is given in connection with the purchase by the Servicer, the FDIC, the Mortgage
Loan Seller or the Controlling Class R-LT Certificateholder of all of the
Mortgage Assets and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, the
Controlling Class R-LT Certificateholder, the FDIC or the Mortgage Loan Seller,
as the case may be, shall deliver to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection
Account or the Servicer shall deposit therein, as applicable, not later than the
P&I Advance Date relating to the Distribution Date on which the final
distribution on the Certificates is to occur an amount in immediately available
funds equal to the above-described purchase price. Upon receipt of notification
of such final deposit, the Trustee shall release to the Servicer, the FDIC, the
Mortgage Loan Seller, or the Controlling Class R-LT Certificateholder, as the
case may be, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Assets and shall
execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by
the Servicer, the FDIC, the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Controlling Class R-LT
Certificateholder, as applicable, as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer
of the Mortgage Assets and REO Properties to the Servicer, the FDIC, the
Mortgage Loan Seller or the Controlling Class R-LT Certificateholder (or their
respective designees), as the case may be. Any transfer of Mortgage Assets to
the Controlling Class R-LT Certificateholder shall be on a servicing-released
basis.
(d) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute
to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the
amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with
Section 4.01 in respect of the
- 169 -
Certificates so presented and surrendered. Any funds not distributed on such
Distribution Date shall be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of
Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates in the
aforesaid manner, and shall be disposed of in accordance with this Section 9.01
and Section 4.01.
Section 9.02. Termination of the Upper-Tier REMIC.
The Upper-Tier REMIC shall be terminated on the date on which (i) it
receives the last distributions on the Uncertificated Regular Interests and (ii)
the last distribution on the Upper-Tier REMIC Certificates is made.
Section 9.03. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event that the Servicer, the FDIC, the Mortgage Loan
Seller, or the Controlling Class R-LT Certificateholder purchases all the
Mortgage Assets and each REO Property remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC pursuant
to Section 9.01, the Lower-Tier REMIC (and, accordingly, the Upper-Tier REMIC)
shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements.
(i) The Trustee shall specify the first day in the 90-day
liquidation period in a statement attached to the final Tax Return of the
Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.860F-1 and shall satisfy all the requirements of a qualified
liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder,
as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel obtained at the expense of the
Servicer, the FDIC, the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Controlling Class R-LT
Certificateholder, as applicable;
(ii) During such 90-day liquidation period, and at or prior to the
time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall
sell all of the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Servicer, the FDIC,
the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Controlling Class R-LT Certificateholder,
as applicable, for cash and shall distribute such cash to (a) the Trustee,
as holder of the Uncertificated Regular Interests and (b) the Class R-LT
Certificateholder, in each case in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.01;
(iii) To the extent of the cash proceeds described in clause (ii)
remaining after the payment of any remaining expenses of the REMICs, such
cash proceeds shall be applied to reduce to zero outstanding entitlements
to interest and principal of the Uncertificated Regular Interests, and any
amount of such proceeds thereafter remaining shall be distributed on the
Class R-LT Certificates; and
(iv) Amounts received with respect to the Uncertified Regular
Interests shall be applied as distributions on the Regular Certificates to
reduce to zero the outstanding entitlements to interest and principal of
the Regular Certificates, any remaining such amounts shall be distributed
on the Class R-UT Certificates, and the Trust shall terminate; provided
that the Trustee, in its discretion, may delay making the distributions
- 170 -
described in this clause (iv) in an amount and for a period that it deems
reasonable to meet the claims of the Trust Fund's creditors.
(b) The Trustee shall prepare any documentation required in
connection with the adoption of any plan of complete liquidation of the Lower-
Tier REMIC and Upper-Tier REMIC pursuant to this Section 9.03 that in the
judgment of the Trustee may be necessary or appropriate to effect the
termination and liquidation of the Lower-Tier REMIC and Upper-Tier REMIC
hereunder. The cost of the foregoing shall be an expense of the party purchasing
the remaining Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 9.01.
(c) By their acceptance of the Uncertificated Regular Interests,
Regular and Residual Certificates, the Holders hereof hereby agree to authorize
the Trustee to adopt a plan of complete liquidation for the Lower-Tier REMIC and
the Upper-Tier REMIC, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor
Uncertificated Regular Interests, Regular and Residual Certificateholders.

ARTICLE X.
REMIC ADMINISTRATION
Section 10.01. REMIC Administration.
(a) The Trustee shall elect to treat each of the Lower-Tier REMIC
and the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under
applicable state law. Each such election will be made on Form 1066 or other
appropriate federal or state Tax Returns for the taxable year ending on the last
day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued.
(b) The Uncertificated Regular Interests shall be designated as the
Regular Interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC, and the Class R-LT Certificates shall
be designated as the single class of Residual Interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC.
The Class I-A, Class I-B, Class I-C, Class I-D, Class I-XS, Class II-A
(exclusive of the related Contract Rights), Class II-B (exclusive of the related
Contract Rights, Class II-C (exclusive of the related Contract Rights) and Class
II-XS Certificates shall be designated as the Regular Interests in the Upper-
Tier REMIC, and the Class R-UT Certificates shall be designated as the single
class of Residual Interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Trustee shall not
permit the creation of any "interests" in the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier
REMIC (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) other than the
Uncertificated Regular Interests and the Regular Interests represented by the
Certificates. The Trustee shall account for the Contract Rights as property
separate and apart from the Regular Interests in the two REMICs. At such time
as the Trustee reports interest and original issue discount (if any) to the
Holders of the Class II-A, Class II-B, and Class II-C Certificates, it shall
separately state the amount and timing of any payments made to such Holders that
are attributable to the Contract Rights.
(c) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of
each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(d) The Trustee shall pay out of its own funds, without any right of
reimbursement, any and all expenses of the Trust Fund incurred in the
preparation and filing of the tax returns required to be prepared and filed by
it hereunder, other than the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of
Counsel and other than taxes and filing fees, except as specified herein.
Subject to Section 10.01(g), the Trustee shall be reimbursed pursuant to Section
3.05(a)(vi) for all other tax related expenses incurred hereunder. The holder
of the largest Percentage Interest in each Class of the Residual Certificates,
by their acceptance of such Certificates, agrees to be and is hereby designated
as the Tax Matter Person for each related REMIC. The holders of the largest
Percentage Interest in the Class R-LT Certificates and Class R-UT Certificates,
as the Tax Matter Person for the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC,
respectively, hereby appoint the Trustee (or any successor trustee) to act as
their agent and in such capacity the Trustee (or any successor trustee) shall
act on behalf of the Trust Fund in relation to any tax matter or controversy and
shall represent the Trust Fund in any
- 172 -
administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any
governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any
taxable year of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC, enter into
settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of
limitations relating to any tax item of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier
REMIC and otherwise act on behalf of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier
REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving the Lower-Tier
REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC. The legal expenses and costs of any action
described in this subsection (d) shall be Extraordinary Expenses. Any taxes,
interest and penalties resulting from any action described in this subsection
(d) shall be charged to and paid by the Trust Fund as an Extraordinary Expense,
unless such taxes, interest and penalties are incurred by reason of the
Trustee's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence or are expressly
provided by this Agreement to be borne by any party hereto. Any taxes, interest
and penalties incurred by reason of the Trustee's willful misfeasance, bad faith
or gross negligence shall be charged to and paid by the Trustee.
(e) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file all of the Tax Returns
in respect of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC. The expenses of
preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any
right of reimbursement therefor. The Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to
the Trustee or its designee such information with respect to each of the Lower-
Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as is in its possession and reasonably
requested in writing by the Trustee to enable it to perform its obligations
under this Article.
(f) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of each of the Lower-Tier
REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties
that are the responsibility of each such REMIC under the Code, REMIC Provisions
or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or State of
New York taxing authority. The Trustee shall also file tax returns in
Massachusetts and New York and in such other jurisdictions that the Trustee
determines may from time-to-time be required to be filed on behalf of the Trust
Fund; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this
Article X, the Trustee shall be liable for any taxes, interest and penalties
arising due to its failure to file any such other state Tax Returns only if such
failure was due to the Trustee's gross negligence, subject to the general
indemnification and liability standards of Section 8.05(b). Included among such
duties, the Trustee shall provide to: (i) any transferor of a Residual
Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax
relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a
Permitted Transferee; (ii) the Certificateholders, such information or reports
as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating
to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the
Prepayment Assumption as required); and (iii) the Internal Revenue Service the
name, title, address and telephone number of the Person who will serve as the
representative of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC. In
addition, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide or cause to be provided to the
Trustee, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data
requested by the Trustee that the Trustee reasonably determines to be relevant
for tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the Certificates,
including,
- 173 -
without limitation, the price, yield, Prepayment Assumption and projected cash
flow (based upon the Prepayment Assumption) of the Certificates.
(g) The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause the REMICs
created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or
maintain the status thereof as REMICs under the REMIC Provisions (and the
Servicer shall assist it, to the extent reasonably requested by it). The
Trustee shall not take any action, cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier
REMIC 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, would: (i) affect the status of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier
REMIC as a REMIC; or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Lower-Tier
REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (including, except as explicitly provided in
Articles II and III hereof, the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth
in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an "Adverse REMIC Event")
unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel, except as explicitly
provided in Articles II and III hereof (unless otherwise specified herein, at
the expense of the party seeking to take such action), to the effect that the
contemplated action will not: (i) cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding; or (ii) result in the imposition of any tax on the Lower-Tier REMIC
or the Upper-Tier REMIC pursuant to the REMIC Provisions. The Servicer shall
not take any action, omit to take any action, or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or
the Upper-Tier REMIC to take any action, as to which the Trustee has advised it
in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could result, except as explicitly
provided in Article II and III hereof. The Trustee may consult with counsel in
preparing such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party
seeking to take, or omit to take, the action.
(h) If any tax or filing fee is imposed on the Trust Fund,
including, without limitation, "prohibited transactions" taxes as defined in

Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding; or (b) cause the Trust Fund to be
subject to the imposition of any prohibited transactions or contribution tax
pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

ARTICLE XI.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 11.01. Amendment.
(a) This Agreement may be amended from time-to-time by the Mortgage
Loan Seller, the FDIC, the Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any
of the Certificate-holders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or
supplement any provisions herein which may be inconsistent with any other
provisions herein, (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising hereunder which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions
hereof, (iv) as provided in Section 3.22 or (v) if such amendment, as evidenced
by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary to
comply with any requirements imposed by the Code or any successor or amendatory
statute or any temporary or final regulation, revenue ruling, revenue procedure
or other written official announcement or interpretation relating to federal
income tax laws or any proposed such action which, if made effective, would
apply retroactively to the Trust Fund or either REMIC at least from the
effective date of such amendment, or would be necessary to avoid the occurrence
of a prohibited transaction or to reduce the incidence of any tax that would
arise from any actions taken with respect to the operation of the Trust Fund or
either REMIC or the loss of REMIC status of either REMIC; provided that such
action (except any amendment described in clause (v) above) shall not, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which may rely conclusively as to credit
matters on a letter of each Rating Agency) delivered to the Trustee, adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder.
(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time-to-time by the
Mortgage Loan Seller, the FDIC, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights for
the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights
of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) alter
the obligation of the Servicer to make P&I Advances without the consent of the
Holders of all Certificates, (iii) adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as
described in (i) and (ii) without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates
of such Class, (iv) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders
of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding or (v) alter the servicing
standard set forth in Section 3.01(a). No amendment of this Agreement shall
affect the FDIC's Limited Guaranty obligation or the FDIC's rights to
reimbursement hereunder in connection therewith without the prior written
consent of the FDIC. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for
purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section
11.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Mortgage Loan Seller, the
FDIC, the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Seller or
- 176 -
the Servicer shall be entitled to Voting Rights with respect to matters
described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph affecting such
Certificates.
(c) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, neither
the Trustee nor the Servicer shall consent to any amendment to this Agreement
unless the Trustee and the Servicer shall each have obtained or been furnished
with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment or the exercise of
any power granted to the Servicer or the Trustee in accordance with such
amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on the Trust Fund pursuant
to the REMIC Provisions or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
(d) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee
shall furnish a statement describing the amendment to each Certificateholder.
(e) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to
such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
(f) The Trustee and the Servicer may, but neither shall be obligated
to, enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section that affects its rights,
duties and immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.
(g) The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to
Section 11.01(a) or (c) shall be borne by the Person seeking the related
amendment, except that if the Servicer or the Trustee requests any amendment of
this Agreement and such amendment does not solely benefit the Servicer or the
Trustee, the Servicer or the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw the cost of
any Opinion of Counsel required pursuant to Section 11.01(a) or (c) out of the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(xi).
Section 11.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is

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 Servicer at the expense of the Trust Fund on direction by the
Trustee, but only upon direction accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (the cost
of which shall be an Extraordinary Expense) to the effect that such recordation
materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation or responsibility
to determine whether any such recordation of this Agreement is required.
(b) 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
- 177 -
of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original,
and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 11.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.

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

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.
(c) No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement or any Mortgage
Loan, unless, with respect to any suit, action or proceeding upon or under or
with respect to this Agreement, such Holder previously shall have given to the
Trustee a written notice of an Event of Default, or of a default by the Mortgage
Loan Seller or the FDIC in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder,
and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have
made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is
understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with
every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, which priority or
preference is not otherwise provided for herein, or to enforce any right under
this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable
and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder
and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law
or in equity.
