The Trust Administrator makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document. The Trust Administrator shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicer or the Servicers of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer or any Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Certificate Account by the Depositor, the Sellers or the Master Servicer or the Servicers.

Determination of Pass-Through Rates for COFI Certificates The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of COFI Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period after the initial Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Trustee as provided below on the basis of the Index and the applicable formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the COFI Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement. Except as provided below, with respect to each Interest Accrual Period following the initial Interest Accrual Period, the Trustee shall not later than two Business Days prior to such Interest Accrual Period but following the publication of the applicable Index determine the Pass-Through Rate at which interest shall accrue in respect of the COFI Certificates during the related Interest Accrual Period. Except as provided below, the Index to be used in determining the respective Pass-Through Rates for the COFI Certificates for a particular Interest Accrual Period shall be COFI for the second calendar month preceding the Outside Reference Date for such Interest Accrual Period. If at the Outside Reference Date for any Interest Accrual Period, COFI for the second calendar month preceding such Outside Reference Date has not been published, the Trustee shall use COFI for the third calendar month preceding such Outside Reference Date. If COFI for neither the second nor third calendar months preceding any Outside Reference Date has been published on or before the related Outside Reference Date, the Index for such Interest Accrual Period and for all subsequent Interest Accrual Periods shall be the National Cost of Funds Index for the third calendar month preceding such Interest Accrual Period (or the fourth preceding calendar month if such National Cost of Funds Index for the third preceding calendar month has not been published by such Outside Reference Date). In the event that the National Cost of Funds Index for neither the third nor fourth calendar months preceding an Interest Accrual Period has been published on or before the related Outside Reference Date, then for such Interest Accrual Period and for each succeeding Interest Accrual Period, the Index shall be LIBOR, determined in the manner set forth below. With respect to any Interest Accrual Period for which the applicable Index is LIBOR, LIBOR for such Interest Accrual Period will be established by the Trustee on the related Interest Determination Date as provided in Section 4.08. In determining LIBOR and any Pass-Through Rate for the COFI Certificates or any Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the offered quotations (whether written, oral or on the Reuters Screen) from the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to LIBOR or the Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in effect from time to time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the Trustee's selection of New York City banks for purposes of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations from the Reference Banks or the New York City banks or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this Section 4.07. The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the COFI Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.

Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall at any time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Fund or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders, under this Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this Agreement other than any continuation statements filed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.20.
Distributions on the Certificates (a) Interest and principal on the Certificates will be distributed monthly on each Distribution Date, commencing in January 2002, in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date.
(i) On each Distribution Date, the Available Funds shall be distributed as follows:
(A) On each Distribution Date prior to the Cross-Over Date, the Group 1 Available Funds will be distributed in the following order of priority among the Group 1 Senior Certificates: first, to the Class I-A Certificates, the Accrued Certificate Interest on such Class for such Distribution Date; second, to the Class I-A Certificates, any Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates, to the extent of remaining Group 1 Available Funds; third, to the Group 1 Senior Certificates, the Group 1 Optimal Principal Amount for such Distribution Date to the extent of remaining Group 1 Available Funds, until the Current Principal Amount of the Group 1 Senior Certificates has been reduced to zero.
(B) On each Distribution Date prior to the Cross-Over Date, the Group 2 Available Funds will be distributed to the Group 2 Senior Certificates as follows: first, to the Group 2 Senior Certificates, the Accrued Certificate Interest on such Class for such Distribution Date; second, to the Group 2 Senior Certificates, any Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates, to the extent of remaining Group 2 Available Funds; third, sequentially, in the following order, to the Class R-I, Class R-II and Class II-A Certificates, in reduction of the Current Principal Amounts thereof, the Group 2 Senior Optimal Principal Amount for such Distribution Date to the extent of remaining Group 2 Available Funds, until the Current Principal Amounts thereof have been reduced to zero;
(C) Except as provided in (D) and (E) below, on each Distribution Date prior to the Cross-Over Date, an amount equal to any remaining Group 1 and Group 2 Available Funds after the distributions in (A) and (B) above will be distributed sequentially, in the following order, to the Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates, in each case up to an amount equal to and in the following order: (a) the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for such Distribution Date, (b) any Accrued Certificate Interest thereon remaining undistributed from previous Distribution Dates and (c) such Class's Allocable Share for such Distribution Date, in each case, to the extent of remaining Available Funds.
(D) On each Distribution Date prior to the Cross-Over Date, but after the reduction of the Current Principal Amount of the Group 1 or Group 2 Senior Certificates to zero, the remaining Class or Classes of Senior Certificates will be entitled to receive in reduction of their Current Principal Amounts, pro rata based upon their Current Principal Amounts immediately prior to such Distribution Date, in addition to any Principal Prepayments related to such remaining Senior Certificates' respective Loan Group allocated to such Group of Senior Certificates, 100% of the Principal Prepayments on any Mortgage Loan in the Loan Group relating to the fully repaid Class of Senior Certificates; provided, however, that if (A) the weighted average Subordinate Percentage equals or exceeds 6.20% on such Distribution Date and (B) the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans delinquent 60 days or more (including for this purpose any such Mortgage Loans in foreclosure and Mortgage Loans with respect to which the related Mortgaged Property has been acquired by the Trust), averaged over the last six months, as a percentage of the sum of the aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Subordinate Certificates does not exceed 100%, then the additional allocation of Principal Prepayments to the Senior Certificates in accordance with this clause (D) will not be made.
(E) If on any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Current Principal Amount of any Class or Classes of Senior Certificates would be greater than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in its related Loan Group and any Subordinate Certificates are still outstanding in each case after giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, (i) 100% of amounts otherwise allocable to the Subordinate Certificates in respect of principal will be distributed to such Class or Classes of Senior Certificates in reduction of the Current Principal Amounts thereof, until the aggregate Current Principal Amount of such Class or Classes of Senior Certificates is an amount equal to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in its related Loan Group, and (ii) the Accrued Certificate Interest otherwise allocable to the Subordinate Certificates on such Distribution Date will be reduced, if necessary, and distributed to such Class or Classes of Senior Certificates in an amount equal to the Accrued Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date on the excess of (x) the aggregate Current Principal Balance of such Class or Classes of Senior Certificates over (y) the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group. Any such reduction in the Accrued Certificate Interest on the Subordinate Certificates will be allocated in reverse order of the Subordinate Certificates numerical designations, commencing with the Class B-6 Certificates.
