This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated and effective as of

Corporation, as depositor (the "Depositor"), ABN AMRO Mortgage Group, Inc., as
servicer (the "Servicer"), and Chase Bank of Texas, National Association, as
trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not
otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Article I hereof.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor at the Closing Date is the owner of the Loans and the
other property being conveyed by it to the Trustee for inclusion in the Trust
Fund. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire the Certificates from the
Trust Fund as consideration for its transfer to the Trust Fund of the Loans and
certain other assets and will be the owner of the Certificates. The Depositor
has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement to provide for
the conveyance to the Trustee of the Loans and the issuance to the Depositor of
the Certificates representing in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership
of the Trust Fund. All covenants and agreements made by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee herein with respect to the Loans and the other property
constituting the Trust Fund are for the benefit of the Holders from time to time
of the Certificates. The Depositor and the Servicer are entering into this
Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting the trust created hereby, for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged.
The Certificates issued hereunder, other than the Class B-3, Class B-4
and Class B-5 Certificates have been offered for sale pursuant to a Prospectus,
dated October 12, 1999, and a Prospectus Supplement, dated November 22, 1999, of
the Depositor (together, the "Prospectus"). The Class B-3, Class B-4 and Class
B-5 Certificates have been offered for sale pursuant to a Private Placement
Memorandum dated November 23, 1999. The Trust Fund created hereunder is intended
to be the "Trust" as described in the Prospectus and the Private Placement
Memorandum and the Certificates are intended to be the "Certificates" described
therein.
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated pool
of assets consisting of the Loans and other related assets in the Trust Fund
subject to this Agreement as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such
segregated pool of assets will be designated as "REMIC I." Component R-1 of the
Class R Certificate will represent the sole class of "residual interests" in
REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law.
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated pool
of assets consisting of the REMIC I Regular Interests as a REMIC for federal
income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as
"REMIC II". Component R-2 of the Class R Certificate will represent the sole
class of "residual interests" in REMIC II for purposes of the REMIC Provisions
under federal income tax law. The following table irrevocably sets forth the
designations, the Remittance Rate and initial Class Principal Balance for each
Class of Certificates which, together with the Class R-2 Component, constitute
the entire beneficial interests in REMIC II. Determined solely for purposes of
satisfying Treasury regulation section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the "latest possible
maturity date" for each of the REMIC I Regular Interests and for each Class of
Certificates shall be the first Distribution Date that is at least two years

in which such Mortgaged Property is located to the effect that such recordation
is not necessary to secure the interest in the related Mortgaged Properties
against any other transferee or creditor of the Depositor, in which case such
Assignments shall be delivered to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders in recordable form. If the Depositor cannot deliver the
original Assignment concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement solely because it is in the process of being prepared and recorded or
because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such original
Assignment has been delivered for recordation, the Depositor shall deliver a
blanket Officer's Certificate covering all such Assignments
50
stating that such original Assignment is in the process of being prepared and
recorded or it has been delivered to the appropriate public recording official
for recordation. Any such original recorded Assignment shall be delivered to the
Trustee within 180 days following the execution of this Agreement.
If the Depositor cannot deliver the original title insurance policy
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor
shall promptly deliver each such original title insurance policy as soon as such
policy becomes available but in no event later than 120 days following the
execution of this Agreement.
All rights arising out of Loans including, without limitation, all
funds received on or in connection with a Loan shall be held by the Depositor in
trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Depositor shall maintain a
complete set of books and records for each Loan which shall be clearly marked to
reflect the ownership of each Loan by the Certificateholders.
It is the express intent of this Agreement that the conveyance of the
Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee as provided in this Section 2.1 be, and be
construed as, a sale of the Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee and that the
sale of the Certificates to the Certificateholders, if they are sold, be, and be
construed as, a sale of a 100% interest in the Loans and the Trust Fund to such
Certificateholders. It is, further, not the intention of this Agreement that
such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee
to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event
that, notwithstanding the intent of this Agreement, the Loans are held to be
property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or
deemed to create a security interest in the Loans, then (a) this Agreement shall
also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9
of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the conveyance provided for in this
Section 2.1 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders of a security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Loans and all amounts
payable to the holders of the Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested
in the Certificate Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities
or other property; (c) the possession by the Trustee or any Custodian of
Mortgage Notes and such other items of property as constitute instruments,
money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "in
possession by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and
(d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments,
receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed
notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial
intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the benefit
of the Certificateholders for the purpose of perfecting such security interest
under applicable law (except that nothing in this clause (d) shall cause any
person to be deemed to be an agent of the Trustee for any purpose other than for
perfection of such security interest unless, and then only to the extent,
expressly appointed and authorized by the Trustee in writing). The Depositor and
the Trustee, upon directions from the Depositor, shall, to the extent consistent
with this Agreement, take such
51
actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to
create a perfected security interest in Loans, such security interest would be
deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable
law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement.
The Trustee is authorized to appoint any bank or trust company approved
by the Depositor as Custodian of the documents or instruments referred to under
(i) through (viii) above, and to enter into a Custodial Agreement for such
purpose and any documents delivered thereunder shall be delivered to the
Custodian and any Officer's Certificates delivered with respect thereto shall be
delivered to the Trustee and the Custodian.
Section 2.2 Acceptance by Trustee. The Trustee acknowledges, subject to
the provisions of Section 2.1 and to any document exceptions reported pursuant
to the Trustee's reviews as described below, receipt of the Mortgage Notes, the
Mortgages, the assignments of the Mortgages and the Officer's Certificates
referred to in Section 2.1 above, and declares that it holds and will hold such
documents and the other documents constituting a part of the Mortgage Files
delivered to it as Trustee in trust, upon the trusts herein set forth, for the
use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee
acknowledges that, as of the date of the execution of this Agreement, the
Mortgage Files have been delivered to the Trustee and the Trustee has conducted
a preliminary review of the Mortgage Files. The Trustee further acknowledges
that such review included a review of the Mortgage Notes to determine that the
appropriate Mortgage Notes have been delivered and endorsed in the manner set
forth in Section 2.1(i). In connection with such review, the Trustee shall have
delivered an exceptions report indicating any discrepancies relating to such
review. In addition, the Trustee agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders,
to review each Mortgage File within 45 days, or with respect to assignments
which must be recorded, within 180 days, after execution of this Agreement to
ascertain that all required documents set forth in items (i), (ii), (v), (vi)
and, to the extent delivered to the Trustee, items (iii), (iv), (vii) and (viii)
of Section 2.1 have been executed and received, and that such documents relate
to the Loans identified in Exhibit D annexed hereto, and in so doing the Trustee
may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and
on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. The Trustee shall have no
duty to verify or determine whether any Mortgage File should contain documents
described in Sections 2.1(iii), (iv), (vii) and (viii). The Trustee shall be
under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or make any independent
examination of any documents contained in each Mortgage File beyond the review
specifically required herein. The Trustee makes no representations as to (i) the
validity, legality, sufficiency, enforceability or genuineness of any of the
documents contained in each Mortgage File or any of the Loans identified on the
Loan Schedule, or (ii) the collectability, insurability, effectiveness or
suitability of any such Loan. If at the conclusion of such 45-day period or
180-day period the Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage
File not to have been executed or received or to be unrelated to the Loans
identified in said Exhibit D (each such finding, a "material defect"), the
Trustee shall promptly notify the Depositor, which shall have a period of 90
days after the REMIC has received notice to correct or cure any such material
defect; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received a
document by reason of the fact that such document shall not have been returned
by the appropriate recording office then the Depositor shall have until a date
one year later from the Cut-Off Date to correct or cure such
52
defect. The Depositor hereby covenants and agrees that, if any such material
defect as defined above is not corrected or cured, the Depositor will, within 90
days of the REMIC having received notice, either (i) repurchase the related Loan
at a price equal to 100% of the Principal Balance of such Loan (or any property
acquired in respect thereof) plus accrued interest on such Principal Balance at
the applicable Pass-Through Rate to the next scheduled Due Date of such Loan or
(ii) substitute for any Loan to which such material defect relates a different
mortgage loan (a "Substitute Loan") maturing no later than and not more than two
years earlier than the Loan being substituted for and having a principal balance
equal to or less than and a Mortgage Interest Rate equal to or greater than the
Mortgage Interest Rate of the Loan being substituted for, a Loan-to-Value Ratio
equal to or less than the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the Loan being substituted for
and otherwise having such characteristics so that the representations and
warranties of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.3 hereof would not have been
incorrect had such Substitute Loan originally been a Loan; provided, however,
that if the Principal Balance of the original Loan exceeds the principal balance
of the Substitute Loan, an amount equal to that difference shall be deposited by
the Depositor in the Certificate Account; provided, further, however, that no
such substitution may occur after 90 days of the Closing Date unless the Trustee
shall have received from the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
such substitution will not adversely affect the REMIC status of REMIC I or REMIC
II or constitute a prohibited transaction or substitution under the REMIC
provisions of the Code, and, if applicable, within the meaning of the REMIC
Provisions of the particular State, if any, which would impose a tax on the
Trust Fund. Monthly Payments due with respect to Substitute Loans in the month
of substitution are not a part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the
Servicer. The Depositor shall notify each Rating Agency of any such
substitution. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders
will include the Monthly Payment due on the Loan being substituted for in such
month. The purchase price for the repurchased Loan or property shall be
deposited by the Depositor in the Certificate Account and in the case of a
Substitute Loan, the Mortgage File relating thereto shall be delivered to the
Trustee or the Custodian. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of
such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer or the new Mortgage File, as the case
may be, and an Officer's Certificate that such repurchase or substitution is in
accordance with this Agreement, the Trustee shall release or cause to be
released to the Depositor the related Mortgage File for the Loan being
repurchased or substituted for, as the case may be, and shall execute and
deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such instrument of transfer or
assignment presented to it by the Depositor, in each case without recourse, as
shall be necessary to transfer to the Depositor the Trustee's interest in such
original or repurchased Loan or property and the Trustee shall have no further
responsibility with regard to such Loan. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Depositor to substitute a new Loan for or repurchase any Loan
or property as to which such a material defect in a constituent document exists
shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders, but such
obligation shall survive termination of this Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor
the Custodian shall be responsible for determining whether any assignment or
mortgage delivered pursuant to Section 2.1(ii) is in recordable form or, if
recorded, has been properly recorded.
Section 2.3 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The
Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee as of the Closing Date:

Mortgaged Property, with respect to the Mortgaged Property have been

(viii) that each Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are
genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the

which do not individually, or in the aggregate, materially interfere
with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the

Files to the Trustee, or to a Custodian, as the case may be. Upon discovery by
the Depositor, Servicer, the Trustee or any Custodian of a breach of any of the
foregoing representations and warranties (referred to herein as a "breach"),
without regard to any limitation set forth in such representation or warranty
concerning the knowledge of the Depositor as to the facts stated therein, which
breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders
in the related Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the others and to each Rating Agency.
56
Within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt or any Seller's receipt
of notice of breach, the Depositor shall or shall cause such Seller to cure such
breach in all material respects or shall repurchase the Loan or any property
acquired in respect thereof from the Trustee at a repurchase price equal to 100%

Balance at the Mortgage Interest Rate to the next scheduled Installment Due Date
of such Loan or remove such Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place
a Substitute Loan or Loans with the characteristics set forth in Section 2.2
above for Substitute Loans; provided, however, that if such breach would cause
the Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur
within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered; provided, further, that
no substitution (or cure which would constitute a loan modification for federal
income tax purposes) may be effected any later than two years after the Closing
Date; provided, further, that as a pre-condition to any substitution (or cure
which would constitute a loan modification for federal income tax purposes) to
be effected later than 90 days after the Closing Date (and within two years of
the Closing Date), the Trustee shall receive from the Depositor an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such substitution (or cure which would constitute a
loan modification for federal income tax purposes) will not adversely affect the
REMIC status of REMIC I or REMIC II or constitute a prohibited transaction under
the REMIC Provisions of the Code and, if applicable, the REMIC provisions of the
relevant State. Except as expressly set forth herein, neither the Trustee nor
the Servicer is under any obligation to discover any breach of the above
mentioned representations and warranties. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Depositor or the Seller to repurchase or substitute any Loan
or property as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute
the sole remedy respecting such breach available to Certificateholders or the
Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders, and such obligation shall survive as
the obligation of the Depositor, the Seller or their respective successors.
Section 2.4 Authentication and Delivery of Certificates; Designation of
Certificates as REMIC Regular and Residual Interests.

entire ownership of the Trust Fund.

corresponding Regular Interests of REMIC I, and the Class Principal Balance or
Component Principal Balance of each such Class of Certificate or Component
(other than the Class A-X Certificate) shall be equal at all times to the
principal balance of each such corresponding Regular Interest of REMIC I. All
interest payments with respect to the A-X Certificate shall be considered to
have been made solely from the interest payments of the A-X Regular Interest of

designated as the "startup day" of each of REMIC I and REMIC II within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
Section 2.6 No Contributions. The Trustee shall not accept or make any
contribution of cash to the Trust Fund after 90 days of the Closing Date, and
shall not accept or make any contribution of other assets to the Trust Fund
unless, in either case, it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause either
REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Class A
or Subordinate Certificates are outstanding or subject the Trust Fund to any tax
on contributions to the REMIC under Section 860G(d) of the Code.
Section 2.7 Representations and Warranties of the Servicer. The
Servicer hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Trustee for the
benefit of Certificateholders that, as of the date of execution of this
Agreement:
(a) the Servicer is a corporation duly formed and validly
existing under the laws of the State of Delaware;
(b) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Servicer and its performance of and compliance with the terms of this
Agreement will not violate the Servicer's corporate charter or by-laws
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 contract, agreement or other instrument to
which the Servicer is a party or which may be applicable to the
Servicer or any of its assets;
(c) this Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by the Trustee and the Depositor, constitutes a valid, legal
and binding obligation of the Servicer, enforceable against it in

enforcement of creditors' rights generally and to general principles of
equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law;
(d) the Servicer is not in default with respect to any order
or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any
federal, state, municipal or governmental agency, which default might
have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the
condition (financial or other) or operations of the Servicer or its
properties or might have consequences that would affect its performance
hereunder;
59
(e) no litigation is pending or, to the best of the Servicer's
knowledge, threatened against the Servicer which would prohibit its
entering into this Agreement or performing its obligations under this
Agreement; and
(f) as long as the Servicer has any obligations to service the
Loans hereunder (and it has not assigned such obligations pursuant to
Section 3.1(c)), it shall be a FNMA or a FHLMC-qualified servicer.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.7 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage
Files to the Trustee, or to a Custodian, as the case may be.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF LOANS
Section 3.1 Servicer to Act as Servicer; Administration of the Loans.
(a) The Servicer shall service and administer the Loans on behalf of
the Trust Fund solely in the best interests of and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment)
and the Trustee (as trustee for Certificateholders) in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement and the respective Loans and, to the extent consistent with
such terms, in the same manner in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence
and diligence with which, it services and administers similar mortgage loans for
other portfolios, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of
practice of prudent institutional residential mortgage lenders and loan
servicers, and taking into account its other obligations hereunder, but without
regard to:
(i) any relationship that the Servicer, any sub-servicer, any
special servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, any sub-servicer or
any special servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) the ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer, any
special servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, any sub-servicer or
any special servicer;
(iii) the Servicer's, any sub-servicer's or any special
servicer's right to receive compensation for its services hereunder or
with respect to any particular transaction; or
(iv) the ownership, or servicing or management for others, by
the Servicer, any sub-servicer or any special servicer, of any other
mortgage loans or property.
60
To the extent consistent with the foregoing and subject to any express
limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Servicer shall seek to maximize the
timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes;
provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an
express or implied guarantee by the Servicer of the collectability of the Loans.
Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms of this
Agreement and of the respective Loans, the Servicer, as an independent
contractor, shall service and administer the Loans and shall have full power and
authority, acting alone or through one or more subservicers, special servicers
or agents (subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 3.1), to do any and all
things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem
necessary or desirable for the purpose of conserving the assets of the Trust
Fund. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall and
is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to continue to execute and
deliver, on behalf of itself, 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 on each Mortgaged
Property and related collateral; and modifications, waivers, consents or
amendments 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 and all other comparable instruments, with respect
to the Loans and with respect to the related Mortgaged Properties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer (whether acting alone or through one
or more subservicers, special servicers or agents) shall not modify, amend,
waive or otherwise consent to the change of the terms of any of the Loans
(including without limitation extending the stated maturity date of any Loan or
forgiving principal of or interest on any Loan), except as permitted by Section
3.2 hereof. The Servicer shall service and administer the Loans in accordance
with applicable law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to
be provided to them thereby. To enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing
and administrative duties hereunder, upon the Servicer's written request
accompanied by the forms of any documents requested, the Trustee shall execute
and deliver to the Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents necessary
or appropriate and the Trustee shall not be responsible for releasing such
powers of attorney. The Trustee shall not be responsible for, and the Servicer
shall indemnify the Trustee for, any action taken by the Servicer pursuant to
the application of any such power of attorney. The relationship of the Servicer
(and of any successor thereto) 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.
(b) The Servicer, Trustee and Depositor intend that REMIC I and REMIC
II formed hereunder shall constitute, and that the Servicer shall perform its
duties and obligation hereunder so as to qualify each of them as, a "real estate
mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC
Provisions. The Tax Matters Person, or the Person acting as attorney-in-fact and
agent therefor, shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed,
federal tax returns (as well as any other federal and state information and
other returns) using a calendar year as the taxable year when and as required by
the REMIC Provisions; (b) make (or cause to be made) an election, on behalf of
each of REMIC I and REMIC II, to be treated as a REMIC on the Federal tax return
and any applicable state or local returns for the first taxable year, in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (c) prepare and forward, or cause to be
prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders all information reports
(including, without limitation, the information required in connection with the
computation of the present value of anticipated
61
excess inclusions as required by ss. 1.860E-2(a)(5) of the REMIC Provisions) as
and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC
Provisions; (d) conduct the affairs of the Trust Fund at all times that REMIC I
Regular Interests or REMIC II Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the
status of each of REMIC I and REMIC II as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions;
and (e) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any
action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of either REMIC I or
REMIC II.
(c) The Servicer may enter into sub-servicing agreements with third
parties with respect to any of its respective obligations hereunder, provided,
that (1) any such agreement shall be consistent with the provisions of this
Agreement and (2) no sub-servicer retained by the Servicer shall grant any
modification, waiver or amendment to any Loan without the approval of the
Servicer. Any such sub-servicing agreement may permit the sub-servicer to
delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related
agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent
with the provisions of this Section 3.1(c).
Any sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Servicer with a Person
other than the Depositor shall provide that it may be assumed or terminated by
the Trustee if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Servicer, without cost
or obligation to the assuming or terminating party or the Trust Fund, upon the
assumption by such party of the obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section
7.5.
Any sub-servicing agreement, and any other transactions or services
relating to the Loans involving a sub-servicer, including (if applicable) the
Depositor in its capacity as sub-servicer under a sub-servicing agreement and
not in its capacity as a party to this Agreement, shall be deemed to be between
the Servicer and such sub-servicer (including the Depositor) alone, and the
Trustee and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall
have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the
sub-servicer, except as set forth in Section 3.1(d).
In the event that the Trustee assumes the servicing obligations of the
Servicer, upon request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall at its own expense
deliver to the Trustee all documents and records relating to any sub-servicing
agreement and the Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by it, if any, and will otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of any sub-servicing
agreement to the Trustee.
(d) Costs incurred by the Servicer in effectuating the timely payment
of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Note
shall be recoverable by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.3. The Servicer shall
ensure all such taxes and assessments are timely paid.
The Servicer, as initial servicer, shall pay all of its costs and
proven damages incurred with respect to or arising out of any allegation of
impropriety in its servicing of the Loans. Further, the Servicer shall not be
entitled to reimbursement or indemnification from either the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders with respect to any such costs, claims and damages.
62
(e) Notwithstanding any sub-servicing agreement, any of the provisions
of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer
and any Person (including the Depositor) acting as sub-servicer (or its agents
or subcontractors) or any reference to actions taken through any Person
(including the Depositor) acting as sub-servicer or otherwise, the Servicer
shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and
Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Loans in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such sub-servicing agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Depositor or any other
Person acting as sub-servicer (or its agents or subcontractors) to the same
extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were
servicing and administering the Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter
into an agreement with any sub-servicer providing for indemnification of the
Servicer by such sub-servicer (including the Depositor and the Trustee), and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification, but no such agreement for indemnification shall be deemed to
limit or modify this Agreement.
Section 3.2 Collection of Certain Loan Payments; Certificate Account.
(a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments
called for under the terms and provisions of the Loans, and shall, to the extent
such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, follow such collection
procedures as it follows with respect to conventional mortgage loans it services
for itself and any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the Servicer
agrees not to permit any modification with respect to any Loan that would change
the manner in which the Mortgage Interest Rate is computed, forgive any
principal or interest or change the term of such Loan. Consistent with the
foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any assumption fee, late
payment charge or other charge in connection with a Loan, and (ii) arrange a
schedule, running for no more than 180 days after the scheduled Due Date, for
payment of any installment on any Mortgage Note or after the due date of any
other payment due under the related Mortgage Note for the liquidation of
delinquent items, provided, that the Servicer shall continue to be obligated to
make Advances in accordance with Section 4.3 during the continuance of such
period. With respect to any Loans which provide for the right of the holder
thereof to call for early repayment thereof at times specified therein, neither
the Trustee nor the Servicer shall exercise any such right, except that the
Trustee shall exercise such right at the written direction of the Servicer set
forth in an Officer's Certificate in connection with a default under the related
Note. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Servicer nor
any other party may take any action that would cause a "significant
modification" of any Loan within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions that would
cause REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time or cause a
tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund under the REMIC Provisions.
(b) The Servicer shall establish and maintain a separate account as set
forth in Article I (the "Custodial Account for P&I"), and shall on the Closing
Date credit any amounts representing scheduled payments of principal and
interest due after the Cut-off Date but received by the Servicer on or before
the Closing Date, and thereafter on a daily basis the following payments and
collections received or made by it (other than in respect of principal of and
interest on the Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date):
63
(i) All Mortgagor payments on account of principal, including
Principal Prepayments on the Loans;
(ii) All Mortgagor payments on account of interest on the
Loans, which may be net of that portion thereof which the Servicer is
entitled to retain as Servicing Fees (adjusted for any amounts related
to Compensating Interest) pursuant to Section 3.9, as adjusted pursuant
to Section 4.6;
(iii) All net Liquidation Proceeds;
(iv) All Insurance Proceeds received by the Servicer, other
than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the
property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor
in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures, and all
amounts deposited by the Servicer with respect to the failure to
maintain flood or fire and hazard insurance policies, pursuant to
Section 3.5;
(v) All repurchase proceeds from the repurchase of a Loan
pursuant to a Purchase Obligation;
(vi) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.2(c) in connection with net losses realized on Eligible Investments
with respect to funds held in the Custodial Account for P&I;
(vii) all income and gain realized from any investment of the
funds in the Custodial Account for P&I in Eligible Investments;
(viii) all net income from the renting of REO Property
pursuant to Section 3.7(c); and
(ix) All other amounts required to be deposited in the
Custodial Account for P&I pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) The Servicer may invest the funds in the Custodial Account for P&I
in Eligible Investments which shall mature not later than the second Business
Day preceding the next Distribution Date unless the Custodial Account for P&I is
maintained with the Trustee in which case they may mature one Business Day prior
to the Distribution Date. The Eligible Investments may not be sold or disposed
of prior to their maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the
name of the Servicer (in its capacity as such) or its nominee. All income and
gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Servicer,
and shall be payable to the Servicer. The amount of any losses incurred in
respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the Custodial Account for
P&I by the Servicer, out of its own funds immediately as realized without right
to reimbursement therefor.
64
(d) The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account for
P&I shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of those described in
the last paragraph of this Section 3.2 and payments in the nature of late
payment charges or assumption fees need not be deposited by the Servicer in the
Custodial Account for P&I. All funds deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial
Account for P&I shall be held by it in trust in the Custodial Account for P&I
until disbursed in accordance with Section 4.1 or withdrawn in accordance with
Section 3.3; provided, however, that the Servicer shall withdraw such funds and
deposit them in such manner as to not result in a downgrading or withdrawal of
the rating then assigned to the Certificates by each Rating Agency. If the
Servicer deposits in the Custodial Account for P&I any amount not required to be
deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Custodial
Account for P&I pursuant to Section 3.3(i) of this Agreement.
Certain of the Loans may provide for payment by the Mortgagor of
amounts to be used for payment of taxes, assessments, hazard or other insurance
premiums or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagor. The Servicer may
deal with these amounts in accordance with its normal servicing procedures.
Section 3.3 Permitted Withdrawals from the Custodial Account for P&I.
The Servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Custodial Account
for P&I for the following purposes:
(a) to reimburse itself for Advances made by it pursuant to
Section 3.4 or 4.3, the Servicer's right to reimburse itself pursuant
to this subclause (a) being limited to amounts received on or in
respect of particular Loans (including, for this purpose, Liquidation
Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds which represent late recoveries of
payments of principal and/or interest respecting which any such Advance
was made and any net income received from the renting of REO Property
pursuant to Section 3.7(c)) or to reimburse itself for Advances from
funds in the Custodial Account for P&I held for future distribution or
withdrawal, such funds to be replaced by the Servicer to the extent
that funds in the Custodial Account for P&I on a future Withdrawal Date
are less than the payment required to be made to the Certificate
Account therefrom as of such future Distribution Date;
(b) (i) to reimburse itself from Liquidation Proceeds for
Liquidation Expenses, (ii) for amounts expended by it pursuant to
Section 3.7 in good faith in connection with the restoration of damaged
property and (iii) to the extent that Liquidation Proceeds after such
reimbursement are in excess of the Principal Balance of the related
Loan together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the
applicable Pass-Through Rate to the date of such liquidation, net of
any related Advances which were unreimbursed prior to the receipt of
such Liquidation Proceeds, to pay to itself any unpaid Servicing Fees,
and any assumption fees, late payment charges or other Mortgage charges
on the related Loan;
65
(c) to pay to itself from any Mortgagor payment as to interest
or other recovery with respect to a particular Loan, to the extent
permitted by this Agreement, that portion of any payment as to interest
in excess of interest at the applicable Pass-Through Rate which the
Servicer is entitled to retain as Servicing Fees pursuant to Section
3.9 or otherwise;
(d) to reimburse itself for expenses incurred by and
recoverable by or reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.5
after the related Mortgagor has reimbursed the Trust Fund for such
expenses or following liquidation of the related Loan, or pursuant to
Section 6.3;
(e) to pay to itself with respect to each Loan or property
acquired in respect thereof that has been repurchased pursuant to
Section 2.2 or 2.3 or purchased by the Class R Certificateholder
pursuant to Section 9.1 all amounts received thereon and not
distributed as of the date on which the related Principal Balance is
determined;
(f) to reimburse itself for any Nonrecoverable Advances;
(g) to disburse to the Trustee in order that the Trustee may
make payments to Certificateholders in the amounts and in the manner
provided for in Section 4.1;
(h) to pay itself any net interest or other income earned and
received on or investment income received with respect to funds in the
Custodial Account for P&I; and
(i) to make payments to itself or others pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement and to remove any amounts not required to
be deposited therein and to clear and terminate the Custodial Account
for P&I pursuant to Section 9.1.
Since in connection with withdrawals pursuant to subclauses (a), (b),
(c) and (e) the Servicer's entitlement thereto is limited to collections or
other recoveries on the related Loan, the Servicer shall keep and maintain a
separate accounting for each Loan for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal
from the Custodial Account for P&I pursuant to such subclauses.
The Servicer shall make the withdrawal referred to in subclause (g)
above and shall deposit the amount so withdrawn into the Certificate Account
prior to 4:00 P.M. New York City time on each related Withdrawal Date.
Section 3.4 Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts.
(a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
(each, an "Escrow Account") into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited
and in which all Escrow Payments shall be retained. Escrow Accounts shall be
Eligible Accounts, and funds in the Escrow Account may be invested in Eligible
Investments. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the location
and account number
66
of each Escrow Account it establishes and shall notify the Trustee prior to any
subsequent change thereof. Withdrawals of amounts from an Escrow Account may be
made only to: (i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, insurance premiums and
comparable items; (ii) refund to Mortgagors any sums that are determined to be
overages; (iii) reimbursement to the Servicer for any cost incurred in paying
taxes, insurance premiums and assessments or comparable items; (iv) pay
interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the
Escrow Account; (v) withdraw interest or other income which may lawfully be
retained by the Trust Fund, for deposit into the Certificate Account; or (vi)
clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 9.1. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, any
interest earned on funds in Escrow Accounts shall be remitted to the related
Mortgagors if required by the related Mortgage Note or otherwise to the
Servicer.
(b) With respect to each Loan, the Servicer shall maintain accurate
records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of
taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien on the
related Mortgaged Property and the status of insurance premiums payable with
respect thereto. The Servicer shall require that payments for taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums and other similar items be made by the Mortgagor
at the time they first become due. If a Mortgagor fails to make any such payment
on a timely basis, the Servicer shall advance the amount of any shortfall unless
the Servicer determines in its good faith judgment that such advance would not
be ultimately recoverable from future payments and collections on the related
Loan (including without limitation Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds),
or otherwise. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of advances it
makes pursuant to the preceding sentence, together with interest thereon at the
Federal Funds Rate, from amounts received on or in respect of the related Loan
respecting which such advance was made or if such advance has become
nonrecoverable, in either case to the extent permitted by Section 3.3 of this
Agreement. No costs incurred by the Servicer in effecting the payment of taxes
and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties shall, for the purpose of
calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing
under the related Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Loans so permit.
Section 3.5 Maintenance of Insurance. The Servicer shall also cause to
be maintained for each Loan fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as
is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount
which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the Principal Balance of such Loan
or (ii) the replacement value costs of improvements securing such Loan. The
Servicer shall cause to be maintained fire and hazard insurance with extended
coverage on each REO Property in an amount 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 or (ii) the replacement cost of the improvements which are a part of such
property. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained for each Loan with a
Loan-to-Value Ratio greater than 80% a primary mortgage insurance policy which
will cover at least 75% of the original fair market value of the related
Mortgaged Property until such time as the principal balance of such Loan is
reduced to 80% of the current fair market value or otherwise in accordance with
applicable law. The Servicer on behalf of the Trustee as Mortgagee shall
maintain or cause the related Mortgagor to maintain for each Loan such other
insurance on the related Mortgaged Property as may be required by the terms of
the related Mortgage Note. If the Mortgaged Property is in
67
an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management
Agency as having special flood hazards the Servicer will cause to be maintained
a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of
the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance
carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the
full insurable value, (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available
under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, and (iii) the Principal Balance
of the related Loan. The Servicer shall also maintain fire and hazard insurance
with extended coverage and, if applicable, flood insurance on property acquired
upon foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Loan in an amount
that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the
improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the principal balance
owing on such Loan at the time of such foreclosure or grant of deed in lieu of
foreclosure plus accrued interest and related Liquidation Expenses. If an REO
Property was located at the time of origination of the related Loan in a
federally designated special flood hazard area, the Servicer will obtain flood
insurance in respect thereof providing substantially the same coverage as
described in the preceding sentence. If at any time during the term of this
Agreement a recovery under a flood or fire and hazard insurance policy in
respect of an REO Property is not available but would have been available if
such insurance were maintained thereon in accordance with the standards applied
to Mortgaged Properties described herein, the Servicer shall either (i)
immediately deposit into the Custodial Account for P&I from its own funds the
amount that would have been recovered or (ii) apply to the restoration and
repair of the property from its own funds the amount that would have been
recovered, if such application would be consistent with the servicing standard
set forth in Section 3.1. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall
be with insurers approved by the Servicer and that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor, other than pursuant to
such applicable laws and regulations or policies of the Servicer as shall at any
time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. Pursuant to
Section 3.2, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any insurance policies
maintained pursuant to this Section 3.5 (other than amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing
procedures) shall be deposited into the Custodial Account for P&I, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.3. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in
maintaining any such insurance shall be recoverable by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.3. In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket
policy issued by an insurer that qualifies under the guidelines set forth for
the Servicer by FNMA or FHLMC, insuring against hazard losses on all of the
Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to
the unpaid principal balance on the Loans without co-insurance and otherwise
complies with all other requirements set forth in the first paragraph of this
Section 3.5, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation as
set forth in such first paragraph, 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 or
acquired property an insurance policy complying with the first paragraph of this
Section 3.5 and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by
such a policy had it been maintained, be required to deposit from its own funds
into the Custodial Account for P&I or apply to the restoration of the property
the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such
deductible clause.
68
The Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense throughout
the term of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions
insurance policy with broad coverage with responsible companies covering the
Servicer's officers and employees and other persons acting on behalf of the
Servicer in connection with its activities under this Agreement. Any such
fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall provide an amount of
coverage and will maintain such coverage at a level which will permit the
Servicer to continue to be a FNMA or a FHLMC-qualified Servicer and shall
protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft,
embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons. No
provision of this Section 3.5 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and
omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and
obligations as set forth in this Agreement.
Section 3.6 Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and
Substitution Agreements. In any case in which property subject to a Mortgage is
conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer will enforce any due-on-sale clause
contained in the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted
under applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to the extent that
such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any
related insurance policy or result in legal action by the Mortgagor. Subject to
the foregoing, the Servicer is authorized to take or enter into an assumption or
substitution agreement from or with the Person to whom such property has been or
is about to be conveyed. The Servicer is also authorized to release the original
Mortgagor from liability upon the Loan and substitute the new Mortgagor as
obligor thereon. In connection with such assumption or substitution, the
Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow such practices and
procedures as shall be normal and usual and as it applies to mortgage loans
owned solely by it or any of its Affiliates. The Servicer shall notify the
Trustee that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by
forwarding to the Trustee the original copy of such assumption or substitution
agreement, which copy shall be added by the Trustee to the related Mortgage File
and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the
same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
In connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement, the interest
rate of the related Mortgage Note shall not be changed. Any fee collected by the
Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
will be retained by the Servicer as servicing compensation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any conveyance by the
Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property or any assumption of a Loan by operation of
law which the Servicer in good faith determines it may be restricted by law from
preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
Section 3.7 Realization upon Defaulted Loans.
(a) Consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.1 and
with a view to the best economic interest of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall
foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include acquisition of
an REO Property) the Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Loans
69
as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to
Section 3.2. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the
Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary
or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities. The foregoing is subject to the proviso that the Servicer shall not
be required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or to
restore any damaged property unless it shall determine (i) that such foreclosure
and/or restoration expenses will increase the Liquidation Proceeds to
Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (ii) that
such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting
which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawal from the Custodial
Account for P&I pursuant to Section 3.3). Any gain on foreclosure or other
conversion of a Liquidated Loan shall be distributed to the Class R
Certificateholder, but only to the extent that such gain is not necessary to
make distributions to the Certificateholders of the other Classes of
Certificates. The Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses
incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be
entitled to reimbursement thereof (as well as any Servicing Fees and other
amounts due it, if any), to the extent, but only to the extent, that withdrawals
from the Custodial Account for P&I with respect thereto are permitted under
Section 3.3. Within 30 days after receipt of Liquidation Proceeds in respect of
a Liquidated Loan, the Servicer shall provide to the Trustee a statement of
accounting for the related Liquidated Loan, including without limitation (i) the
Loan number, (ii) the date the Loan was acquired in foreclosure or deed in lieu,
and the date the Loan became a Liquidated Loan, (iii) the gross sales price and
the related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest calculated from
the foreclosure date to the liquidation date, and (v) such other information as
the Trustee may reasonably specify.
(b) Prior to any such foreclosure, the Servicer may, at its option,
repurchase any Loan which is 90 days or more delinquent and which the Servicer
determines in good faith would otherwise become subject to foreclosure
proceedings or any Loan as to which the Mortgagor tenders a deed in lieu of
foreclosure at a price equal to the outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan
plus accrued interest at the applicable Pass-Through Rate to the next Due Date.
Any such repurchase shall be deemed a Principal Prepayment for purposes of this
Agreement and all amounts in respect thereof shall be deposited into the
Custodial Account for P&I pursuant to Section 3.2(b).
(c) The Trust Fund shall not acquire any real property (or personal
property incident to such real property) except in connection with a default or
imminent default of a Loan. Based on a report prepared by an Independent Person
who regularly conducts environmental audits that the Mortgaged Property for
which foreclosure proceedings are contemplated is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws, and there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged
Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials,
wastes, or petroleum based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any
federal, state or local law or that it would be in the best economic interest of
the Trust Fund to acquire title to such Mortgaged Property and further to take
such actions as would be necessary and appropriate to effect such compliance
and/or respond to such circumstances, the Servicer will not conduct such
foreclosure proceedings. If the Servicer otherwise becomes aware, under its
customary servicing procedures, of an
70
environmental hazard with respect to a Loan for which foreclosure proceedings
are contemplated, the Servicer will not conduct such foreclosure proceedings
unless it determines in good faith that the liability associated with the
environmental hazard will be less than the Liquidation Proceeds to be realized
from the sale of the related Mortgaged Property. In the event that the Trust
Fund acquires any real property (or personal property incident to such real
property) in connection with a default or imminent default of a Loan, such REO
Property shall be disposed of by the Trust Fund within three years after its
acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Trustee shall have received from the
Servicer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund
of such REO Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition will not
cause either REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions at any time that any REMIC I Regular Interests or Certificates are
outstanding, in which case such REO Property shall be disposed of as soon as
possible by the Trust Fund but in no event shall be held longer than the maximum
period of time during which the Trust Fund is then permitted to hold such REO
Property and allow REMIC I and REMIC II to remain qualified as REMICs under the
REMIC Provisions. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each
such 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. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the
Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer
protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as
is customary in the locality where such property is located and may, incident to
its conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, rent
the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest
of the Servicer and the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of
such REO Property. All proceeds from the renting of such REO Property shall, net
of any costs or expenses of the Servicer in connection therewith, be deposited
into the Custodial Account for P&I pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(ix).
(d) In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee on behalf of
Certificateholders. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and
cancellation of the related Loan, such Loan shall (except for purposes of
Section 9.1) be considered to be a Loan held in the Trust Fund until such time
as the related REO Property shall be sold by the Trust Fund and shall be reduced
only by collections net of expenses. Consistent with the foregoing, for purposes
of all calculations hereunder, so long as such Loan shall be considered to be an
outstanding Loan, it shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the
indebtedness evidenced by the related Mortgage Note shall have been discharged,
such Mortgage Note and, for purposes of determining the Scheduled Principal
Balance thereof, the related amortization schedule in effect at the time of any
such acquisition of title remain in effect.
(e) The Servicer shall not acquire for the benefit of the Trust Fund
any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.7 unless either:
(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 for the benefit of the Trust Fund; or
71
(ii) the Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion
of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund) 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 either REMIC I or REMIC II of the Trust Fund
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is
outstanding.
Section 3.8 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the
payment in full of any Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification
that the payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such
purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee by an Officer's
Certificate (which Officer's Certificate shall include a statement to the effect
that all amounts received in connection with such payment which are required to
be deposited in the Custodial Account for P&I pursuant to Section 3.2 have been
or will be so deposited) and shall by such Officer's Certificate request
delivery to it of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such Officer's Certificate
and request, the Trustee shall promptly release or cause to be released the
related Mortgage File to the Servicer. From time to time and as appropriate for
the servicing or foreclosure of any Loan, the Trustee shall, upon written
request of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of a trust receipt signed by
a Servicing Officer, release or cause to be released the related Mortgage File
to the Servicer and shall execute such documents furnished to it as shall be
necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such trust receipt shall
obligate the Servicer to return each and every document previously requested
from the Mortgage File to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no
longer exists unless the Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt
of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified,
the trust receipt shall be released by the Trustee to the Servicer by delivery
to a Servicing Officer and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with
respect to such Mortgage Files.
Section 3.9 Servicing Compensation. The Servicer shall be entitled to
retain or, if not retained, to withdraw from the Certificate Account as
servicing compensation its Servicing Fee out of each payment on account of
interest on each Loan, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.6. The
Servicer shall also be entitled to payment of unpaid Servicing Fees with respect
to a delinquent Loan out of Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Loan, to
the extent permitted by Section 3.3(b). Servicing compensation in the form of
assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise shall be retained by the
Servicer and need not be deposited in the Custodial Account for P&I. The
Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation out of
Liquidation Proceeds to the extent provided in Section 3.3(b). The Servicer
shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its
servicing activities hereunder (including maintenance of the blanket hazard
insurance policy and the blanket fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy
required by Section 3.5) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor
except as specifically provided in Sections 3.1, 3.3, 3.5 and 3.7.
On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall pay to the Certificate
Administrator and the Trustee the Certificate Administration and Trustee Fee out
of the Servicing Fee retained by the Servicer on such Distribution Date. Such
amounts shall be compensation for the activities of the Certificate
Administrator and the Trustee hereunder. The Certificate Administrator and the
Trustee shall be required to pay all
72
expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall
not be entitled to reimbursement therefor, except as specifically provided
herein.
Section 3.10 Reports to the Trustee; Custodial Account for P&I
Statements. On or before each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Trustee or its designee a statement in electronic
or written form as may be agreed upon by the Servicer and the Trustee containing
the information described in Section 4.2 and such other information as may be
necessary for the Trustee to compute the amounts to be distributed to the
Certificateholders by the Trustee (the "Servicer's Section 3.10 Report"). Not
later than 25 days after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall forward or
cause to be forwarded to the Trustee a statement, certified by a Servicing
Officer, setting forth the status of the Custodial Account for P&I as of the
close of business on the related Distribution Date, stating that all
distributions from the Custodial Account for P&I required to be made by this
Agreement have been made for the period covered by such statement (or if any
required distribution has not been made, specifying the nature and status
thereof) and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate of
deposits into and withdrawals from the Custodial Account for P&I for each
category of deposit specified in Section 3.2 and each category of withdrawal
specified in Section 3.3. Such statement shall also include information as to
the aggregate Principal Balance of all of the Loans as of the last day of the
calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution Date. Copies of such
statement shall be provided to any Certificateholder upon request by the
Servicer, or by the Trustee so long as the Trustee has received the report as
stipulated above at the Servicer's expense if the Servicer shall fail to provide
such copies.
Section 3.11 Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Servicer will
deliver to the Trustee, on or before March 15 of each year, beginning March 15,
2000, an Officer's Certificate stating as to each signer thereof, that (i) a
review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and
of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer's
supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such
review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement
throughout such year, or if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any
such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the
nature and status thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided to each
Rating Agency and to any Certificateholder upon request by the Servicer, or by
the Trustee at the Servicer's expense.
Section 3.12 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
On or before March 15 of each year, beginning March 15, 2000, the Servicer, at
its expense, shall cause a firm of independent public accountants who are
members of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a
statement to the Trustee and each Rating Agency to the effect that such firm has
examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Loans
and that, either (a) on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in
compliance with the audit program for mortgages serviced for FHLMC, such firm is
of the opinion that such servicing has been conducted in compliance with the
manner of servicing set forth in agreements substantially similar to this
Agreement except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be
immaterial and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such
statement
73
or, (b) that their examination conducted substantially in compliance with the
uniform single audit program for mortgage bankers disclosed no exceptions or
errors in records relating to mortgage loans serviced for others that in their
opinion are material and that Paragraph 4 of that program requires them to
report. Copies of such statement shall be provided to Certificateholders upon
request by the Servicer, or by the Trustee at the Servicer's expense.
Section 3.13 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
the Loans. The Servicer shall provide access to the Trustee or to its designees
at its request, and to Certificateholders which are savings and loan
associations, banks or insurance companies, the OTS, the FDIC and the
supervisory agents and examiners of the OTS and the FDIC or examiners of any
other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority to the
documentation regarding the Loans if so required by applicable regulations of
the OTS or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge
but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices
of the Servicer designated by it. The Trustee or its designee may without charge
copy any document or electronic record maintained by the Servicer hereunder.
Section 3.14 [Reserved].
Section 3.15 Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties.
(a) With respect to any Defaulted Loan or REO Property which the
Servicer has determined to sell in accordance with the standards set forth in
Section 3.7, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate
to the effect that no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of
delinquent payments thereon pursuant to Section 3.2, and, consistent with the
servicing standard set forth in Section 3.1 and with a view to the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund, the Servicer has determined to sell such Defaulted
Loan or REO Property in accordance with this Section 3.15. The Servicer may then
offer to sell to any Person any Defaulted Loan or any REO Property or, subject
to the following sentence, purchase any such Defaulted Loan or REO Property (in
each case at the Repurchase Price therefor), 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 period
specified in Section 3.7(c). The Servicer shall accept the highest bid received
from any Person for any Defaulted Loan or any REO Property in an amount at least
equal to the Purchase Price therefor or, at its option, if it has received no
bid at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor, purchase the Defaulted Loan
or REO Property at the Purchase Price.
In the absence of any such bid or purchase by the Servicer, the
Servicer shall accept the highest bid received from any Person that is
determined by the Servicer to be a fair price for such Defaulted Loan or REO
Property, if the highest bidder is a Person other than an Interested Person, or
is determined to be such a price by the Trustee, if the highest bidder is an
Interested Person. 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 Loan or any REO Property pursuant hereto.
74
The Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing
paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest bid if the Servicer determines, in
accordance with the servicing standard stated in Section 3.1, that rejection of
such bid would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders. In addition,
the Servicer may accept a lower bid if it determines, in accordance with the
servicing standard stated in Section 3.1, that acceptance of such bid would be
in the best interests of the Certificateholders (for example, if the prospective
buyer making the lower bid is more likely to perform its obligations, or the
terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower bid are more favorable).
In the event that the Servicer determines with respect to any REO Property that
the bids being made with respect thereto are not in the best interests of the
Certificateholders and that the end of the period referred to in Section 3.7(c)
with respect to such REO Property is approaching, the Servicer shall seek an
extension of such period in the manner described in Section 3.7(c).
(b) In determining whether any bid received from an Interested Person
represents a fair price for any Defaulted Loan or any REO Property, the Trustee
may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other expert
in real estate matters retained by the Trustee the expense of which shall be an
expense of the Trust Fund. In determining whether any bid constitutes a fair
price for any Defaulted Loan or any REO Property, the Servicer or the Trustee
(or, if applicable, such appraiser) shall take into account, and any appraiser
or other expert in real estate matters shall be instructed to take into account,
as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on
the affected Defaulted Loan, the physical condition of the related Mortgaged
Property or such 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 3.7(c).
(c) The Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund in negotiating
and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale
of any Defaulted Loan or REO Property, including the collection of all amounts
payable in connection therewith. Any sale of a Defaulted Loan or any REO
Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trust Fund (except that any contract
of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties
of title, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust Fund),
and, if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, neither the
Servicer, the Depositor nor the Trustee shall have any liability to the Trust
Fund or any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor
accepted by the Servicer or the Trustee.
(d) The proceeds of any sale after deduction of the expenses of such
sale incurred in connection therewith shall be promptly deposited in the
Custodial Account for P&I in accordance with Section 3.2(b).
Section 3.16 Delegation of Duties. In the ordinary course of business,
the Servicer or the Trustee may at any time delegate any duties hereunder to any
Person who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with the applicable terms
of this Agreement. In case of such delegation, the Servicer or the Trustee shall
supervise, administer, monitor and oversee the activities of such Person
hereunder to insure
75
that such Person performs such duties in accordance herewith and shall be
responsible for the acts and omissions of such Person to the same extent as it
is responsible for its own actions or omissions hereunder. Any such delegations
shall not relieve the Servicer or the Trustee of its liability and
responsibility with respect to such duties, and shall not constitute a
resignation within the meaning of Section 6.4 hereof and shall be revocable by
any successor Servicer or the Trustee.
Section 3.17 [Reserved].
Section 3.18 [Reserved].
Section 3.19 Appointment of a Special Servicer. The Servicer may enter
into a special servicing agreement with an unaffiliated holder of Subordinate
Certificates or a holder of a class of securities representing interests in such
Class of Subordinate Certificates, such agreement to be (i) substantially in the
form of Exhibit R hereto or (ii) subject to each Rating Agency's acknowledgment
that the ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to the entering
into of such agreement would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the
Certificates would not be placed on credit review status (except for possible
upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any such agreement may contain
provisions whereby such holder may instruct the Servicer to commence or delay
foreclosure proceedings with respect to delinquent Loans and may contain
provisions for the deposit of cash by the holder that would be available for
distribution to Certificateholders if Liquidation Proceeds are less than they
otherwise may have been had the Servicer acted in accordance with its normal
procedures.
Section 3.20 Allocation of Realized Losses. Prior to each Distribution
Date, the Servicer shall determine the amount of Realized Losses, if any, with
respect to each Loan. The amount of Realized Losses shall be evidenced by an
Officer's Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer. All
Realized Losses, except for Special Hazard Losses, Fraud Losses and Bankruptcy
Losses in excess of the designated amounts of the applicable Special Hazard
Coverage, Fraud Coverage and Bankruptcy Coverage (each, as defined herein), will
be allocated as follows: (i) for losses allocable to principal (a) first, to the
Subordinate Certificates in reverse order of seniority until each of their Class
Principal Balances have been reduced to zero and (b) second, to the Senior
Certificates and Components (other than the Interest Only Certificates and
Interest Only Components), by Pro Rata Allocation, until the Certificate
Principal Balances and Component Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to
zero; and (ii) for losses allocable to interest (a) first, to the Subordinate
Certificates in reverse order of seniority, in reduction of accrued but unpaid
interest thereon and then in reduction of the Class Principal Balance of such
Certificates and (b) second, to the Senior Certificates and Components thereof
(other than the Principal Only Certificates and Principal Only Component), by
Pro Rata Allocation, until the Certificate Principal Balances and Component
Principal Balances thereof have been reduced to zero.
Special Hazard Losses in excess of the Special Hazard Coverage, Fraud
Losses in excess of the Fraud Coverage and Bankruptcy Losses in excess of the
Bankruptcy Coverage shall be allocated among the Senior Certificates and the
Subordinate Certificates by Pro Rata Allocation.
76
On each Distribution Date, after giving effect to the principal
distributions and allocations and reimbursement of losses as provided in this
Agreement (without regard to this paragraph), if the Aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of all outstanding Classes of Certificates exceeds the
aggregate principal balance of the Loans, after deduction of (i) all principal
payments due on or before the Cut-Off Date in respect of each such Loan whether
or not paid and (ii) all amounts of principal in respect of each such Loan that
have been received or advanced and included in the Available Distribution
Amount, and all losses in respect of such Loans that have been allocated to the
Certificates, on such Distribution Date or prior Distribution Dates, then such
excess will be deemed a principal loss and will be allocated to the most junior
Class of Subordinate Certificates then outstanding, in reduction of the Class
Principal Balance thereof.

Administrator's sole discretion, for purposes of satisfying applicable reporting
requirements under Rule 144A of the Securities Act.

containing at least the fields of information listed on Exhibit E hereto (based
on information provided by the Servicer). In addition, upon the written request

shall provide similar loan by loan data with respect to any prior monthly
remittance report to the Certificateholders pursuant to this Agreement (as and
when such information becomes available). The expense of providing any tape or

79
Section 4.3 Advances by the Servicer; Distribution Reports to the
Trustee. To the extent described below, the Servicer is obligated to advance its
own funds to the Certificate Account to cover any shortfall between (i) payments
scheduled to be received in respect of Loans serviced by such Servicer, and (ii)
the amounts actually deposited in the Certificate Account on account of such
payments. The Servicer's obligation to make any Advance or Advances described in
this Section 4.3 is effective only to the extent that such Advance is, in the
good faith judgment of the Servicer, reimbursable from Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds of the related Loans or recoverable as late Monthly
Payments with respect to the related Loans or otherwise.
Prior to the close of business on each Determination Date, the Servicer
shall determine whether or not it will make an Advance on the next Withdrawal
Date and shall furnish a statement to the Certificate Administrator, if any, the
Trustee, the Paying Agent, if any, and to any Certificateholder requesting the
same, setting forth the aggregate amount to be distributed on the next
succeeding Distribution Date on account of principal and interest in respect of
the Loans, stated separately. In the event that full scheduled amounts of
principal and interest in respect of the related Loans shall not have been
received by or on behalf of the Servicer prior to the Withdrawal Date preceding
such Distribution Date and the Servicer shall have determined that an Advance
shall be made in accordance with this Section 4.3, the Servicer shall so specify
and shall specify the aggregate amount of such Advance.
In the event that the Servicer shall be required to make an Advance, it
shall on the Withdrawal Date either (i) deposit in the Certificate Account an
amount equal to such Advance, (ii) direct the Trustee or the Certificate
Administrator (if so appointed by the Trustee) to make an appropriate entry in
the records of the Certificate Account that funds in such account being held for
future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 4.3,
used by such Servicer to make such Advance, or (iii) make advances in the form
of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any
funds being held for future distribution to Certificateholders and so used shall
be replaced by the related Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account on any
future Withdrawal Date to the extent that funds in the Certificate Account on
the related Distribution Date with respect to the related Loans shall be less
than payments to Certificateholders required to be made on such date with
respect to such Loans. The Servicer is entitled to receive from the Custodial
Accounts for P&I established by the Servicer under its supervision amounts
received by the Servicer on particular Loans as late payments of principal and
interest or as Liquidation or Insurance Proceeds and respecting which the
Servicer has made an unreimbursed Advance of principal and interest. The
Servicer is also entitled to receive other amounts from the related Custodial
Accounts for P&I established by the Servicer under its supervision to reimburse
the Servicer for prior Nonrecoverable Advances.
In accordance with Section 3.3, Advances are reimbursable to the
Servicer from cash in the Custodial Account for P&I to the extent that the
Servicer shall determine that any such advances previously made are
Nonrecoverable Advances pursuant to Section 4.4.
80
In the event that the Trustee has appointed a Certificate
Administrator, prior to 5:00 P.M. New York City time on the Withdrawal Date, the
Certificate Administrator shall provide the Trustee with a statement regarding
the amount of principal and interest, the Residual Distribution Amount and the
Excess Liquidation Proceeds to be distributed to each Class of Certificates on
such Distribution Date (such amounts to be determined in accordance with the
definition of "Certificate Distribution Amount", Section 4.1 hereof and other
related definitions set forth in Article I hereof).
Section 4.4 Nonrecoverable Advances. Any Advance previously made by the
Servicer with respect to a Loan that the Servicer shall determine in its good
faith judgment not to be ultimately recoverable from Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise with respect to such Loan or recoverable as
late Monthly Payments with respect to such Loan shall be a Nonrecoverable
Advance. The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable
Advance or that any advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be
evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Trustee
on the Determination Date and detailing the reasons for such determination.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any insurance policy
relating to the Loans, or any other agreement relating to the Loans to which the
Depositor or the Servicer is a party, (a) the Servicer shall not be obligated
to, and shall not, make any advance that, after reasonable inquiry and in its
sole discretion, it determines would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and (b) the
Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any Advance as provided in
Section 3.3 of this Agreement.
Section 4.5 Foreclosure Reports. Each year beginning in 2000 the
Servicer shall make any reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any
Mortgaged Property required by Section 6050J of the Code. In order to facilitate
this reporting process, the Servicer, on or before February 28th of each year,
commencing with 2000, shall provide to the Internal Revenue Service, the Trustee
and the Certificate Administrator, if any, reports relating to each instance
occurring during the previous calendar year in which the Servicer (i) on behalf
of the Trustee acquires an interest in a Mortgaged Property through foreclosure
or other comparable conversion in full or partial satisfaction of a Loan, or
(ii) knows or has reason to know that a Mortgaged Property has been abandoned.
The reports from the Servicer shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet
the reporting requirements imposed by such Section 6050J.
Section 4.6 Adjustment of Servicing Fees with Respect to Payoffs. The
aggregate amount of the Servicing Fee subject to retention from deposit into or
withdrawal from the Certificate Account by the Servicer, in any month of
distribution shall be decreased by any Compensating Interest due and owing with
respect to any Loan with respect to which a Payoff has occurred in the related
Prepayment Period. The Servicer shall include the amount of any such
Compensating Interest with the deposits into the Certificate Account on the
related Withdrawal Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount by which the
Servicing Fee may be reduced with respect to the related Prepayment Period
pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall not exceed an amount greater than the amount
described in clause (i) of the definition of Compensating Interest for all Loans
as to which Payoffs have occurred and the rights of the Certificateholders to
such portion of the Servicing Fee shall not be cumulative.
81
Section 4.7 Prohibited Transactions Taxes and Other Taxes.
(a) In the event that any tax (including a tax on "prohibited
transactions" as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and including any and
all interest, penalties, fines and additions to tax, as well as any and all
reasonable counsel fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in contesting the
imposition of such tax) is imposed on the Trust Fund and is not otherwise paid
pursuant to Section 4.7(b) hereof, the Servicer shall pay such taxes when and as
the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the
Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, if any, or any other
appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and
shall not prevent the Servicer from withholding payment of such tax, if
permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); provided, that the
Servicer shall be entitled to be indemnified for any such taxes (excluding taxes
referred to in Section 4.7(b)) to the extent set forth in Section 6.3 hereof so
long as the Servicer's failure to exercise reasonable care with respect to the
performance of its duties hereunder was not the primary cause of the imposition
of such taxes. If the Servicer is indemnified for such taxes pursuant to this
Section 4.7(a), such amount shall be first charged against amounts otherwise
distributable to the Holders of Component R-1 of the Class R Certificate (or, if
the tax relates to REMIC II, Component R-2 of the Class R Certificate) on a pro
rata basis, then against amounts otherwise distributable with respect to the
REMIC I Regular Interests (or, if the tax relates to REMIC II, to the Holders of
the REMIC II Certificates) on a pro rata basis. The Trustee is hereby authorized
to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Certificateholders
sufficient funds to reimburse the Servicer for the payment of such tax for which
the Servicer is entitled to indemnification.
(b) The Servicer shall pay on written demand, and shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Trust Fund from and against, any and all taxes imposed on the
Trust Fund (including, for this purpose, any and all interest, penalties, fines
and additions to tax, as well as any and all reasonable counsel fees and
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in contesting the imposition of such tax).
Section 4.8 Tax Administration.
(a) The Trustee is hereby appointed as attorney-in-fact and agent for
the initial Tax Matters Person; provided, that the Trustee may appoint, and
hereby does so appoint, the Certificate Administrator as attorney-in-fact and
agent for the Tax Matters Person. The Trustee may, by written notice delivered
to the Certificate Administrator, revoke the appointment of the Certificate
Administrator as attorney-in-fact and agent for the Tax Matters Person, in which
case the Trustee shall act in such capacity.
(b) In order to enable the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as
applicable, to perform its duties as set forth in this Section 4.8 and Section
3.1(b), the Servicer agrees to provide any tax forms, instruments or other
documents related thereto, as the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as
applicable, may reasonably request, including, without limitation, any tax

Section 4.8. In order to enable the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as
applicable, to perform its duties as set forth in this Section 4.8 and
82
Section 3.1(b), the Servicer shall use its best efforts to cause to be delivered
to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, within ten (10)
days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee or the
Certificate Administrator, as applicable, determines to be relevant for tax
purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including,
without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash
flows. Thereafter, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to provide to the
Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, promptly upon request
therefor, any such additional information or data that the Trustee or the
Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may, from time to time, request in
order to enable the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, to
perform its duties as set forth in this Section 4.8 and Section 3.1(b).
Section 4.9 Equal Status of Servicing Fee. The right of the Servicer to
receive its Servicing Fee will be equal and not subordinate to the right of the
Certificateholders to receive principal and interest payments based on their
interests as provided herein. The Servicer's Servicing Fee may be collected from
Monthly Payments as received pursuant to Section 3.2 without deposit into the
Certificate Account, whereas the Certificateholders' distributions shall be made
on a delayed basis as set forth in the terms of the Certificates.
Section 4.10 Appointment of Paying Agent and Certificate Administrator.
The Trustee may appoint an Eligible Institution to act as a paying agent (the
"Paying Agent") or a certificate administrator (the "Certificate
Administrator"), as the case may be, in order to delegate to such Eligible
Institution any of its duties under this Agreement to administer the issuance,
transfer and exchange of the Certificates, administer payments to
Certificateholders or prepare information related to the Certificates; provided,
that the Trustee shall remain primarily responsible for any duties so delegated;
provided, further, that the Trustee shall receive no additional compensation in
connection with such appointment and delegation.

Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all
rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. If any
Non-U.S. Person shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate, then
the last preceding Holder which is a U.S. 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 the Transfer to such

Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section
5.1(c) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights
of the Holder of such Residual Certificate as described in clause
(iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the
Depositor shall have the right, without notice to the Holder or any
prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such Residual
Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor on such terms as
the Depositor may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly
endorse and deliver the Residual Certificate in accordance with the
instructions of the Depositor. Such purchaser may be the Depositor
itself or any affiliate of the Depositor. The proceeds of such sale,
net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the

conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined
in the sole discretion of the Depositor, and the Depositor shall not be
liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in the Residual
Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

available, upon written request from the Trustee, or the Certificate
Administrator all information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A)

Administrator the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to
the effect that the modification, addition to or elimination
of such provisions will not cause such Rating Agency to
downgrade its then-current Ratings of the Certificates; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Depositor (as evidenced by a certificate
of the Depositor), to the effect that such modification,
addition to or absence of such provisions will not cause the
Trust Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not create
a risk that (1) the Trust Fund may be subject to an
entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Residual
Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee or
(2) a Certificateholder or another Person will be subject to a
REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual
Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee.
(vi) The following legend shall appear on all Residual

CERTIFICATE REGISTRAR THAT (1) SUCH TRANSFEREE IS NOT
EITHER (A) THE UNITED STATES, ANY STATE OR POLITICAL
SUBDIVISION THEREOF, ANY FOREIGN GOVERNMENT, ANY
INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION, OR ANY AGENCY OR
INSTRUMENTALITY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, (B) ANY
ORGANIZATION (OTHER THAN A COOPERATIVE DESCRIBED IN

IMPOSED BY CHAPTER 1 OF THE CODE UNLESS SUCH
ORGANIZATION IS SUBJECT TO THE TAX IMPOSED BY SECTION
511 OF THE CODE, (C) ANY ORGANIZATION DESCRIBED IN
SECTION 1381(a)(2)(C) OF THE CODE (ANY SUCH PERSON
DESCRIBED IN THE FOREGOING CLAUSES (A), (B), OR (C)
BEING HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS A "DISQUALIFIED
ORGANIZATION"), OR (D) AN
87
AGENT OF A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION AND (2) NO
PURPOSE OF SUCH TRANSFER IS TO ENABLE THE TRANSFEROR
TO IMPEDE THE ASSESSMENT OR COLLECTION OF TAX. SUCH
AFFIDAVIT SHALL INCLUDE CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AS TO
THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE REGISTRATION IN THE CERTIFICATE
REGISTER OF ANY TRANSFER, SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION
OF THIS CLASS R CERTIFICATE TO A DISQUALIFIED
ORGANIZATION OR AN AGENT OF A DISQUALIFIED
ORGANIZATION, SUCH REGISTRATION SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE
OF NO LEGAL FORCE OR EFFECT WHATSOEVER AND SUCH
PERSON SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE A CERTIFICATEHOLDER
FOR ANY PURPOSE HEREUNDER INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, THE RECEIPT OF DISTRIBUTIONS ON THIS CERTIFICATE.
EACH HOLDER OF THE CLASS R CERTIFICATE BY ACCEPTANCE
OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE CONSENTED
TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH.
(vii) The Holder of the Class R Certificate issued hereunder,
while not a Disqualified Organization, is the Tax Matters Person.
(d) In the case of any Class A-12, Subordinate or Class R Certificate
presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan or other plan
or arrangement subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments)
(a "Plan"), a trustee of any Plan, or any other Person who is using the "plan
assets" of any Plan to effect such acquisition, the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar, if not the same Person as the Trustee, shall require such transferee
to provide an Officer's Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of such
transferee stating that the transferee is an insurance company using assets of
an "insurance company general account" (within the meaning of Department of
Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60) to effect such
purchase and satisfies all of the requirements for exemptive relief under
Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, which Officer's Certificate shall not be an
expense of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, if any, the Certificate
Registrar or the Depositor.
So long as the Class A-12, Class M, Class B-1 and Class B-2
Certificates are Book-Entry Certificates, each Person who has or who acquires
any Class M or Class B Certificates shall be deemed
88
by the acceptance or acquisition of such Certificate to have represented that
(a) such Person is not a Plan, and such Person is not using "plan assets" of any
such Plan to effect such acquisition or (b) if the transferee is an insurance
company and the source of funds used to purchase such Certificate is an
"insurance company general account" (as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60) and
the conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been
satisfied.
(e) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Junior
Subordinate Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or
other disposition is made in accordance with this Section 5.1(e) or Section
5.1(f). Each Person who, at any time, acquires any ownership interest in any
Junior Subordinate Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition
of such ownership interest to have agreed to be bound by the following
provisions of this Section 5.1(e) and Section 5.1(f), as applicable. No transfer
of a Junior Subordinate Certificate shall be deemed to be made in accordance
with this Section 5.1(e) unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act or unless the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar, if not the same Person as the Trustee, is provided with
the certificates and an Opinion of Counsel, if required, on which the Trustee
and the Certificate Registrar may conclusively rely, which establishes or
establish to the Trustee's or the Certificate Registrar's, as applicable,
satisfaction that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements
under the Securities Act, as follows: In the event that a transfer is to be made
in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar, if not the same Person as the Trustee, shall require, in
order to assure compliance with the Securities Act, that the Certificateholder
desiring to effect such transfer certify to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar in writing, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F,
the facts surrounding the transfer, with such modifications to such Exhibit F as
may be appropriate to reflect the actual facts of the proposed transfer, and
that the Certificateholder's proposed transferee certify to the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar in writing, in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit G, the facts surrounding the transfer, with such modifications to such
Exhibit G as may be appropriate to reflect the actual facts of the proposed
transfer. If such certificate of the proposed transferee does not contain
substantially the substance of Exhibit G, the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar, if not the same Person as the Trustee, shall require an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without registration,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee,
the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Trust Fund or the
Depositor. Such Opinion of Counsel shall allow for the forwarding, and the
Trustee shall forward, a copy thereof to each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Class of Junior Subordinate Certificates may be transferred,
sold, pledged or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the requirements set
forth in Section 5.1(f).
(f) Transfers of the Junior Subordinate Certificates may be made in
accordance with this Section 5.1(f). To effectuate a Certificate transfer in
accordance with this Section 5.1(f), the proposed transferee of such Certificate
must provide the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor with an
investment letter substantially in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto, which
investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Certificate
Administrator, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor, and which investment
letter states that, among other things, such transferee (i) is a "qualified
institutional buyer" as defined under Rule 144A, acting for its own account or
the accounts of other "qualified institutional
89
buyers" as defined under Rule 144A, and (ii) is aware that the proposed
transferor intends to rely on the exemption from registration requirements under
the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
proposed transferee of such Certificate shall not be required to provide the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor with Annex 1 or Annex 2 to
the form of Exhibit L attached hereto if the Depositor so consents prior to each
such transfer. Such transfers shall be deemed to have complied with the
requirements of this Section 5.1(f). The Holder of a Certificate desiring to
effect such transfer does hereby agree to indemnify the Trustee, the Certificate
Administrator, if any, the Depositor, and the Certificate Registrar against any
liability that may result if transfer is not made in accordance with this
Agreement.
(g) None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate
Registrar or the Paying Agent shall have any liability to the Trust Fund arising
from a registration or transfer of a Certificate in reliance upon a
certification, Officer's Certificate, affidavit, ruling or Opinion of Counsel
described in this Section 5.1.

exchange for, or in lieu of, other Certificates pursuant to Section 5.3. Such
aggregate principal amount shall be allocated among one or more Classes having

Class Principal Balances, initial Component Principal Balances and last

Certificates shall be issued in Authorized Denominations.
Section 5.3 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. The
Trustee shall cause to be maintained at one of its offices or at its designated
Certificate Registrar, a Certificate Register in which there shall be recorded
the name and address of each Certificateholder. Subject to such reasonable rules
and regulations as the Trustee may prescribe, the Certificate Register shall be
amended from time to time by the Trustee or its agent to reflect notice of any
changes received by the Trustee or its agent pursuant to Section 10.5. The
Trustee hereby appoints itself as the initial Certificate Registrar. The Trustee
may appoint an Eligible Institution to act as its agent in order to delegate to
such Eligible Institution its duties as Certificate Registrar under this
Agreement.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate to the
Trustee at the office of First Trust of New York, National Association, 000 Xxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, or such other
address or agency as may hereafter be provided to the Certificate Administrator,
if any, and the Servicer in writing by the Trustee, the Trustee shall execute,
and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in
the name of the designated transferee or
90
transferees, one or more new Certificates of Authorized Denominations of like
Percentage Interest. At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may
be exchanged for other Certificates in Authorized Denominations of like
Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any
such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for
exchange, the Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee, or any Authenticating
Agent, shall authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate
presented or surrendered for transfer shall (if so required by the Trustee or
any Authenticating Agent) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee or any Authenticating
Agent and duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing.
A reasonable service charge may be made for any such exchange or
transfer of Certificates, and the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any exchange or transfer of Certificates.
Upon the transfer of a Class Certificate each transferee that purchases
a Class A Certificate with the assets of one or more Plans shall be deemed to
represent that each such Plan qualifies as an "accredited investor" as defined
in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. If at any time the
Class A Certificates fail to receive a rating from any of S&P or DCR that is one
of the three highest generic rating categories for that respective rating
agency, then such Class A Certificate shall not thereafter be eligible for
transfer to a Plan, and each transferee shall be deemed to represent that it is
not purchasing or holding its Class A Certificate with plan assets of a Plan.
All Certificates surrendered for exchange or transfer shall be canceled
by the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent.
Section 5.4 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or any Authenticating
Agent, or (ii) the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent receives evidence to
their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and
there is delivered to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent 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 any Authenticating Agent that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Percentage Interest. Upon the
issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.4, the Trustee or any
Authenticating Agent 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 or any
Authenticating Agent) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence
of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost
or stolen Certificate shall be found at any time.
91
Section 5.5 Persons Deemed Owners. The Depositor, the Certificate
Administrator, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat
the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.1
and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the
Certificate Administrator, if any, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar nor any agent of the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, if any,
the Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 5.6 Temporary Certificates. Upon the initial issuance of the
Certificates, the Trustee may execute, and the Trustee or any Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Certificates which are printed,
lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any Authorized Denomination,
of the tenor of the definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and
with such variations in form from the forms of the Certificates set forth as
Exhibits A and B hereto as the Trustee's officers executing such Certificates
may determine, as evidenced by their execution of the Certificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificates may remain in the form set forth
in this Section.
If temporary Certificates are issued, the Trustee shall cause
definitive Certificates to be prepared within ten Business Days of the Closing
Date or as soon as practicable thereafter. After preparation of definitive
Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive
Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the office or
agency of the Trustee to be maintained as provided in Section 5.10 hereof,
without charge to the Holder. Any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any such exchange shall be borne by the Depositor. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the
Trustee shall execute and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of
definitive Certificates of Authorized Denominations. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Agreement as definitive Certificates.
Section 5.7 Book-Entry for Book-Entry Certificates. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued
in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates of Authorized Denomination
representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to DTC, the initial
Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Depositor. The Book-Entry Certificates
shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede &
Co., the nominee of DTC, as the initial Clearing Agency, and no Beneficial
Holder shall receive a definitive certificate representing such Beneficial
Holder's interest in any Class of Book-Entry Certificate, except as provided
above and in Section 5.9. Each Book-Entry Certificate shall bear the following
legend:
Unless this Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of
The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to the
Trustee or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or
payment, and any Certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede &
Co. or such other name as is requested by an authorized representative
of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity
as is requested by an authorized
92
representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR
VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the
registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
Unless and until definitive, fully registered Book-Entry Certificates (the

Section 5.9 Definitive Certificates. If (a) the Clearing Agency
notifies the Certificate Administrator, if any, or the Trustee that it is no
longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the
Depositary Agreement with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates and the Trustee

the Depositor, at its option, advises the Certificate Administrator, if any, or
the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system with
respect to the Book-Entry Certificates through the Clearing Agency or (c) after

the aggregate Class Principal Balance of such Certificates advise the
Certificate Administrator, if any, or the Trustee and the Clearing Agency
through DTC Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system
with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates through the Clearing Agency is no
longer in the best interests of the Certificateholders with respect to such
Certificates, the Trustee shall notify or cause to be notified all
Certificateholders of Book- Entry Certificates of the occurrence of any such
event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates. Upon surrender to the
Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by
registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Trustee
shall execute and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor, the Certificate
Administrator, if any, the Authenticating Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable

ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER
Section 6.1 Liability of the Depositor and the Servicer. The Depositor
and the Servicer shall each be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent
of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement and undertaken
hereunder by the Depositor and the Servicer herein.
Section 6.2 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor and the Servicer each will
keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as corporations, each
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and will obtain and
preserve
94
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 Loans and to
perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
The Depositor 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 Depositor or Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to
the business of the Depositor or Servicer, shall be the successor of the
Depositor or Servicer 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 6.3 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others. Neither
the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of 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 any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Servicer against any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder, nor shall this provision protect the Servicer against any
liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder. The Servicer and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any
kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any
matters arising hereunder. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless
against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal
action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss,
liability or expense, in the case of the Servicer and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Servicer, incurred by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or, in the case
of the Servicer, as Servicer, incurred by reason of negligence in the
performance of any duties hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not
incidental to its duties to service the Loans in accordance with this Agreement
and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided,
however, that the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which
it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of 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 Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of
the Custodial Account for P&I as provided by Section 3.3.
Section 6.4 Servicer Not to Resign. 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
95
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 to
such effect delivered to the Trustee. The Servicer shall notify each Rating
Agency of any such resignation. No such resignation shall become effective until
a successor servicer shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and
obligations in accordance with Section 7.5 hereof.
Notwithstanding the limitations stated above, the Servicer may transfer
its obligations, duties and rights hereunder without the consent of the
Certificateholders, provided, that (i) the Servicer obtains the prior written
consent of each Rating Agency, (ii) the transferee is a FNMA- or FHLMC-approved
servicer having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000, (iii) the successor
servicer assumes all of the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations in
accordance with Section 7.5 hereof, and (iv) the then-current rating of the
Class A Certificates will not be reduced as a result of such transfer, and (v)
the successor servicer has, in the reasonable opinion of the Trustee, the
qualifications, resources and experience to properly carry out, observe and
perform the duties, obligations and responsibilities of Servicer hereunder;
provided, that the foregoing clause (v) is intended solely for the benefit of
(and may be exercised or waived at the sole discretion of) the Trustee, to
enable the Trustee to assure itself that any successor Servicer has such
acceptable qualifications, resources and experience, and such clause (v) is not
intended to be for the benefit of, and shall not be relied upon or enforced by,
any Certificateholder, and provided, further, that any consent to such transfer
will not be unreasonably withheld by the Trustee.
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
Section 7.1 Events of Default. In case one or more of the following
Events of Default by the Servicer shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:
(i) any failure by the Servicer to distribute or cause to be
distributed to the Trustee or its delegate on the Withdrawal Date any
payment required to be made to the Trustee 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 in the Certificates or in this
Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of 60 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 Trustee, or to
the Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing,
in aggregate, not less than 25% of the Trust Fund or 51% of the
aggregate Percentage Interests of any Class of Certificates;
96
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment
of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings,
or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been
entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have
remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;
(iv) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidating committee in any
insolvency, readjustment of debt marshaling of assets and liabilities,
voluntary liquidation or similar proceedings of or relating to the
Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property;
(v) 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 insolvency or reorganization statute, make
an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend
payment of its obligations; or
(vi) any failure of the Servicer to make any Advance required
to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.3 which continues
unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon which
such Advance was to have been made;
then, if an Event of Default described in clauses (i)-(v) of this Section 7.1
shall occur, and in each and every such case, subject to applicable law, so long
as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee or the
Holders of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 25% of the Trust
Fund or 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of any Class of Certificates
by notice in writing to the Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the
Certificateholders) may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have
to reimbursement of expenses, Advances and other advances of its own funds as
Servicer to the extent permitted by this Agreement, other than the Depositor's
(or its successors') obligation to repurchase any Loans pursuant to Section 2.2
or 2.3 shall survive any such termination. If an Event of Default described in
clause (vi) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the
Servicer, which shall be telecopied to the Servicer, immediately terminate all
of the rights and obligations of the Servicer, under this Agreement and in and
to the Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or 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 or the Loans or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section
7.1 (subject to the provisions of Section 7.5); and, without limitation, the
Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Loans and related
documents or otherwise at the expense of the Servicer. The Servicer agrees to
cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Servicer's
responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide the Trustee all
documents and records whether in written or
97
electronic form reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer's
functions hereunder and shall promptly also transfer to the Trustee of this
Agreement all amounts which then have been or should have been deposited in the
Custodial Account for P&I by the Servicer or which are thereafter received with
respect to the Loans as well as any escrowed funds held by it or in connection
with its servicing activities hereunder. The Servicer and the Trustee shall give
each Rating Agency notice of any Event of Default.
Section 7.2 Other Remedies of Trustee. 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 7.1, shall have the
right, in its own name 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 filing 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.
Section 7.3 Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee
During Event of Default. During the continuance of any Event of Default, Holders
of Certificates evidencing, in aggregate, not less than 25% of the Trust Fund or
51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of any Class of Certificates may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Trustee under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be under
no obligation to pursue any such remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or
powers vested in it by this Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) the
conducting or defending of any administrative action or litigation hereunder or
in relation hereto and (ii) the terminating of the Servicer or any successor
servicer from its rights and duties as servicer hereunder) at the request, order
or direction of any of the Certificateholders, 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; and,
provided, further, that, subject to the provisions of Section 8.1, the Trustee
shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, in
accordance with an Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding
so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines
that the action or proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability
or be unjustly prejudicial to the non-assenting Certificateholders or if the
Trustee has received contrary directions pursuant to this Section 7.3.
Section 7.4 Action upon Certain Failures of Servicer and upon Event of
Default. In the event that the Trustee shall have knowledge of any failure of
the Servicer specified in Section 7.1(i) or (ii) which would become an Event of
Default upon the Servicer's failure to remedy the same after notice, the Trustee
shall give notice thereof to the Servicer. In the event that the Trustee shall
have knowledge of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall give prompt written
notice thereof to the Certificateholders and to each Rating
98
Agency. For all purposes of this Agreement, in the absence of actual knowledge
by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any failure of the Servicer as specified in Section 7.1(i) and (ii)
or any Event of Default unless notified thereof in writing by the Servicer or by
a Certificateholder.
Section 7.5 Appointment of Successor Servicer.
(a) When the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to
Section 7.1 or the Trustee receives the resignation of the Servicer evidenced by
an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 6.4, the Trustee shall become 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, provided,
however, that the Trustee's obligation to make any Advances shall be no greater
than set forth in Section 4.3 of this Agreement, and the Trustee shall have all
the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof and in its capacity as such successor shall have the same limitation of
liability herein granted to the Servicer and provided, further, that the Trustee
shall not be required to make an Advance from its own funds if such Advance
would be prohibited by law. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive monthly an amount not to exceed the Servicing Fee as agreed
by the Trustee and the Servicer, together with such other servicing compensation
in the form of assumption fees, late charges, prepayment fees or otherwise
provided in Section 3.9. If the agreed amount is less than the Servicing Fee,
the excess shall be paid to the Class R Certificateholder. If the Trustee and
the Servicer shall not agree on the amount of such compensation, the Trustee
shall solicit bids for a successor servicer as described in Section 7.5(b),
provided, however, if no successor servicer is obtained through the bidding
process, the Trustee may act as such, or may pursuant to Section 7.5(b) appoint
a successor servicer to act as such, for the Servicing Fee together with such
other servicing compensation as provided in Section 3.9. In no event shall the
Trustee's assumption of or succession to the obligations of the Servicer make
the Trustee liable for any actions or omissions of the Servicer in its capacity
as Servicer.
(b) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may and shall, if it is
unable (or unwilling due to disagreement on compensation as provided in Section
7.5 (a)) to act as Servicer, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution,
bank or mortgage servicing institution which is an approved FNMA or FHLMC
servicer having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and meeting such other
standards as are set forth in Section 6.4 hereof for a successor to the Servicer
hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder (except the repurchase obligations set
forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof, which shall remain obligations of the
Depositor); provided, however, that until such appointment and assumption, the
Trustee will continue to perform the servicing obligations pursuant to this
Agreement (and until such time shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fees
pursuant to Section 3.9); provided, further, that prior to the appointment of
any successor servicer, the Rating Agencies confirm that the appointment of such
successor servicer would not result in the downgrade of the Rating assigned to
any Class of Certificates. The compensation of any successor servicer so
appointed shall be equal to the
99
Servicing Fees specified in Section 3.9 together with such other compensation as
is provided in said Section 3.9. In the event the Trustee is required to solicit
bids as provided above, the Trustee shall solicit, by public announcement, bids
from housing and home finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing
institutions acceptable to the Trustee and meeting the qualifications set forth
above in this Section 7.5(b) for the purchase of the servicing functions. Such
public announcement shall specify that the successor servicer shall be entitled
to the full amount of the Servicing Fee on the aggregate unpaid principal
balance of the Loans as servicing compensation for servicing the Loans, together
with the other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late
payment charges, prepayment fees or otherwise as provided in Section 3.9. Within
45 days after any such public announcement, the Trustee shall negotiate and
effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and
responsibilities hereunder (except the repurchase obligations set forth in
Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof, which shall remain obligations of the Depositor) to
the qualified party submitting the highest qualifying bid. The Trustee shall
deduct all costs and expenses of any public announcement and of any sale,
transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder
from any sum received by the Trustee from the successor to the Servicer in
respect of such sale, transfer and assignment. After such deductions, the
remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Trustee to the Class R
Certificateholder at the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to the
Servicer's successor.
(c) The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and any successor
servicer in effecting the termination of the Servicer's servicing
responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide the Trustee or
such successor servicer, as applicable, all documents and records reasonably
requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer's functions hereunder and
shall promptly also transfer to the Trustee or such successor servicer, as
applicable, all amounts which then have been or should have been deposited in
the Custodial Account for P&I by the Servicer or which are thereafter received
with respect to the Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor servicer
shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or
any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by
the failure of the Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash,
documents or records to it.
Section 7.6 Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any termination of
the Servicer or appointment of a successor to the Servicer, in each case as
provided herein, the Trustee shall as soon as practicable give written notice
thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the
Certificate Register and each Rating Agency.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.1 Duties of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of
an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have
occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and
100
only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an
Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured), the Trustee, subject
to the provisions of Sections 7.1, 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5, shall exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs. Any permissive
right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a
duty.
Subject to Sections 8.2(i), 8.3 and 8.4, the Trustee, upon receipt of
all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders
or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to
be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to
determine whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content
of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or
other instrument furnished by any party hereunder. If any such instrument is
found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner,
the Trustee shall take action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument
corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee's reasonable
satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders
and each Rating Agency.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct or in the event the Trustee is acting as
successor servicer pursuant to Section 7.5, to the standard imposed on the
Servicer pursuant to Section 6.3 of this Agreement; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after
the curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the
duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable
except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and,
in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect
to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in accordance with this Agreement or at the direction of
Certificateholders holding Certificates which have an aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance aggregating not less than 25% of the
aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of all Certificates relating to
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee, or exercising or omitting to exercise any
trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement;
101
(iii) The Trustee shall not be liable in its individual
capacity for any error of judgment made in good faith by any
Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or such
Responsible Officer was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be liable for any act or omission
of the Depositor or the Servicer (except for its own acts or omissions
as Servicer hereunder) or for any but its own acts or omissions;
(v) The Trustee shall not be deemed to take notice or be
deemed to have knowledge of any matter, including without limitation
any default or Event of Default, unless written notice thereof,
referring to the Certificates, the Depositor, the Trust Fund or this
Agreement is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at its
Corporate Trust Office; and
(vi) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and
without limiting the generality of this Section 8.1, the Trustee shall
have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this
Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing
statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or
to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing
or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to
see any insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax,
assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of
any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of
the Trust Fund other than from funds available in the Certificate
Account, and (D) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or
certificates of the Servicer delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement believed by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed
or presented by the proper party or parties.
None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties as Trustee hereunder or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this
Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible
for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under
this Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the
successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of,
the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 8.2 Certain Matters Affecting Trustee. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 8.1:
(i) Before acting or refraining from acting the Trustee may
request or require an Officer's Certificate; the Trustee may rely and
shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, Officer's Certificate, opinion of counsel, certificate of

report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond
102
or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion

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

enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the
Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or
willful misconduct in the performance of such act;
(v) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or
surety in respect of the execution of the Trust Fund created hereby or
the powers granted hereunder; and
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents, attorneys or custodians, and the Trustee shall not be
responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such
agent, attorney or custodian appointed by the Trustee with care. Any
such agents, attorneys or custodians shall be entitled to all
indemnities and protection afforded to the Trustee. Any designee of the
Trustee shall be considered its "agent" hereunder whether performing it
as an independent contractor or otherwise.
Section 8.3 Trustee Not Required to Make Investigation. Prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing of all Events
of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain
or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions,
covenants or agreements herein or to make any investigation into the facts or
matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, Mortgage, Mortgage Note
or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by Holders of
Certificates having a Percentage Interest not less than 51% of the Trust Fund;
provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee
of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making
of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured
to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement,
the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability
as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such
examination shall be paid by the Depositor or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be
repaid by the Depositor upon demand.

Section 8.4 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Loans. The recitals
contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the certificate of
authentication on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the
Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the
same. The Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Loan or related
document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the
Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates or
for the use or application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the
Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Custodial Account for P&I by the
Servicer or for investment of any such amounts. The Trustee shall not be
responsible for the legality or validity of this Agreement or the validity,
priority, perfection or sufficiency of the security for the Certificates issued
or intended to be issued hereunder. The Trustee shall have no 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.
Neither the Trustee nor any of the directors, officers, employees or
agents of the Trustee 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 while
an Event of Default exists; provided, however, that this provision shall not
protect the Trustee or any such person against any liability which would
otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in the performance of duties. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Depositor and held harmless
against any loss, liability or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
incurred in connection with or related to the Trustee's performance of its
powers and duties under this Agreement (including, without limitation,
performance under Section 8.1 hereof), or any action relating to this Agreement
or the Certificates, or the performance of the Trustee's duties hereunder, other
than any loss, liability or expense incurred by any such Person by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties. Any
such losses, liabilities and expenses resulting therefrom shall be losses,
liabilities and expenses of the Depositor. The indemnification provided
hereunder shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Section 8.5 Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee and any agent of
the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner of or a
pledgee of the Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee or such agent, and may otherwise deal with the parties hereto.
Section 8.6 Servicer to Pay Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Servicer
covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee monthly (or as otherwise agreed), and
the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, reasonable compensation (which shall
not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a
trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of
the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the
powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and the Servicer shall pay or
reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred or
made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement
(including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
104
disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ)
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its
negligence or bad faith. The Tax Matters Person (or Person acting as its
attorney-in-fact or agent) shall indemnify the Trustee for any liability of or
assessment against the Trustee resulting from any error in any tax or tax
information returns prepared or caused to be prepared by such Person. In the
event that (i) the Servicer does not pay to the Trustee any compensation owed to
the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) the Trustee is not reimbursed for
any expense, disbursement or advance incurred or made by the Trustee pursuant to
this Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw and retain such amount
from the Certificate Account. In the event the Trustee incurs expenses or
renders services in any proceedings which result from an Event of Default under
Section 7.1, subsections (iii), (iv) or (v) of this Agreement, or from any
default which, with the passage of time, would become an Event of Default, the
expenses so incurred and compensation for services so rendered are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under the United States Bankruptcy Code or
equivalent law.
Section 8.7 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee hereunder
shall at all times be a corporation or association organized and doing business
under the laws of any state of the United States of America, authorized under
such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority. The Trustee shall not control the Servicer nor be a
parent of or a subsidiary of the Servicer. If such corporation or association
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section 8.7 the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.7, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.8.
Section 8.8 Resignation and Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at any
time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written
notice of resignation to the Servicer. Such notice shall also be furnished to
each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Servicer
shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate,
one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one
copy to the successor trustee. 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 at the expense of the
Servicer.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.7 and shall fail to resign after written
request for the Trustee's resignation by the Servicer, or if at any time the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed,
or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, then, with or without cause, the Servicer may remove the Trustee
and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument,
105
in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed and one copy to the successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates having a Percentage Interest aggregating
not less than 51% of the aggregate Denomination of all Certificates 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 instrument or instruments shall be
delivered to the Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one
complete set to the successor trustee so appointed.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of successor
trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.8 shall become
effective only upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.9.
Section 8.9 Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as
provided in Section 8.8 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer
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 like effect as if
originally named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the successor trustee all Mortgage Files and related
documents and statements held by it hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at
the time held by the Custodian, if it shall agree to become the agent of any
successor trustee hereunder), and the Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.9 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.7.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 8.9, the Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in
the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency. If the Servicer fails to
mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at
the expense of the Servicer.
Section 8.10 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any Person into which
the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or
any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all
of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the
Trustee hereunder, provided, that such Person shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 8.7, 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.
106
Section 8.11 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of
meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the
Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
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
8.11, 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
so to do, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. Each co-trustee
separate trustee hereunder shall not be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.7 hereunder and no notice to
holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate
trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.9 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 8.11, 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 a
portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by
such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. The Trustee shall not be responsible
for any action or inaction of any such separate trustee or co-trustee. 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.
107
The Trustee may appoint one or more Eligible Institutions to act as its
agent or agents to perform any or all of its duties and obligations under this
Agreement. Each such agent shall be subject to all of 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.
Section 8.12 Appointment of Custodians. The Trustee may, with the
consent of the Servicer, appoint one or more Custodians, not affiliated with the
Depositor, to review, pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, and hold all or a portion
of the Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee provided, however, that such
appointed Custodian may be LaSalle Bank National Association. Any Custodian
appointed shall be an institution subject to supervision by federal or state
authority, shall have combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and
shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any
Mortgage File.
Section 8.13 Authenticating Agent.
(a) The Trustee may appoint from time to time an authenticating agent
(the "Authenticating Agent") which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the
Trustee in authenticating Certificates. Wherever reference is made in this
Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication on behalf of the Trustee by the Authenticating Agent and a
certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by the
Authenticating Agent. Any successor Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to
the Servicer and have a principal office and place of business in New York, New
York or Chicago, Illinois, have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000, and be authorized to do a trust business and subject to supervision
or examination by federal or state authorities.
(b) Any corporation into which the Authenticating Agent may be merged
or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of
the corporate agency business of the Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be
the Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
(c) The Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least
30 days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the
Servicer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of the Authenticating
Agent by giving written notice of termination to the Authenticating Agent and to
the Servicer. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination,
or in case at any time the Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.13, the Trustee promptly shall
appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such
appointment to the Servicer and shall mail notice of such appointment to all
Certificateholders. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties
and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally
108
named as Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be
appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 8.13.
(d) The Authenticating Agent shall have no responsibility or liability
for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Any
reasonable compensation paid to the Authenticating Agent shall be a reimbursable
expense under Section 8.6.
Section 8.14 Bloomberg. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date,
the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, if any, will arrange with
Bloomberg to have the Depositor set up on Bloomberg to provide the information
set forth on Exhibit Q (the "Data") with respect to the Loans on a monthly basis
in a format acceptable to Bloomberg and acceptable to the Underwriters. During
the term of this Agreement, the Trustee will provide updated Data to Bloomberg
on or before each Distribution Date.
Section 8.15 Reports to Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless
otherwise directed by the Depositor in writing, the Certificate Administrator or
the Trustee, as applicable, shall prepare, sign and file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, on behalf of the Depositor, (i) no later than ten days
after each Distribution Date, the Certificateholders' Report on the appropriate
form and in the appropriate medium authorized or prescribed therefor under the
Exchange Act, (ii) no later than March 25 of each calendar year, an annual
report meeting the requirements of the Exchange Act on the appropriate form and
in the appropriate medium authorized or prescribed therefor under the Exchange
Act. The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall promptly
forward copies of all filings made pursuant to this Section 8.15 to the
Depositor.
Section 8.16 Calculation of LIBOR. Until the Principal Balance of each
of the Adjustable Rate Certificates has been reduced to zero, the Trustee or the
Certificate Administrator, if any, shall establish LIBOR on each LIBOR
Determination Date as follows:
(a) If on such LIBOR Determination Date a rate for United States dollar
deposits for one month appears on the Dow Xxxxx Telerate System, page 3750,
LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period shall be equal to such rate as of
11:00 A.M., London time;
(b) If such rate does not appear on such page (or such other page as
may replace that page on that service, or if such service is no longer offered,
such other service for displaying LIBOR or comparable rates as may be selected
by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, if any, after consultation with
the Servicer), the rate shall be determined as follows:
(i) The Trustee on the LIBOR Determination Date will
request the principal London offices of each of four major
reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by
the Trustee, to provide the Trustee with its offered quotation
for deposits in United States dollars for the upcoming
one-month period, commencing on the second LIBOR Business Day
immediately following such LIBOR Determination Date, to prime
109
banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00
a.m. London time on such LIBOR Determination Date and in a
principal amount that is representative for a single
transaction in United States dollars in such market at such
time. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR
determined on such LIBOR Determination Date will be the
arithmetic mean of such quotations.
(ii) If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR
determined on such LIBOR Determination Date will be the
arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00
a.m. in New York City on such LIBOR Determination Date by
three major banks in New York City selected by the Trustee for
one-month United States dollar loans to leading European
banks, in a principal amount that is representative for a
single transaction in United States dollars in such market at
such time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected by
the Trustee are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence,
LIBOR determined on such LIBOR Determination Date will
continue to be LIBOR as then currently in effect on such LIBOR
Determination Date.
(c) The establishment of LIBOR on each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date by
the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, if any, and the Trustee's or
Certificate Administrator's calculation of the rate of interest applicable to
the Adjustable Rate Certificates for the related Interest Accrual Period shall
(in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding.
ARTICLE IX

Section 9.1 Termination upon Purchase by the Depositor or Liquidation
of All Loans. The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer
and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation to make payments to
Certificateholders as hereafter set forth in this Section 9.1 and obligations to
the Trustee in Sections 8.4 and 8.6) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the
later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect
thereto) of the last Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all
property acquired in respect of any Loan or (ii) the purchase by the Depositor
of all Loans at a price equal to the sum of (a) the principal balance of each
Loan plus accrued interest thereon at the applicable Pass-Through Rate to the
next scheduled Installment Due Date, less any Nonrecoverable Advances made with
respect to any such Loans and (b) the fair market value of all acquired property
in respect of Loans, less any Nonrecoverable Advances made with respect to any
such Loans, such fair market value to be determined by an appraiser selected by
the Trustee or (iii) the purchase by the Servicer, so long as the Servicer is
the Depositor, of all outstanding Certificates and delivery of such Certificates
to the Trustee; 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. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof; and
provided,
110
further, that a "plan of liquidation" of each of REMIC I and II in accordance
with Section 860F of the Code must be adopted in conjunction with any
termination effected pursuant to subclauses (i), (ii), or (iii) of this Section
9.1.
The Depositor is hereby granted the right to purchase the Loans
pursuant to clause (ii) above, provided, however, that such right shall be
conditioned upon the Principal Balances of such Loans, at the time of any such
purchase, aggregating an amount less than 10% of the aggregate Principal Balance
of the Loans on the Cut-off Date, after deduction of payments due on or before
such date.
Notice of any termination pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above,
specifying the Distribution Date upon which all Certificateholders may surrender
their Certificates to the Trustee or its agent for payment and cancellation,
shall be given promptly by the Trustee or its agent (upon direction by the
Servicer no less than 10 days prior to the date such notice is to be mailed) by
letter to Certificateholders and each Rating Agency mailed by first class mail
no later than the 25th day of the month preceding the month of such final
distribution specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which final payment on
the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at
the office or agency of the Trustee or 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 or agency of the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar therein specified.
The Trustee or its agent shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar and
each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to the Certificateholders.
Upon any such termination, the duties of the Certificate Registrar shall also
terminate. In the event such notice is given in connection with Depositor's
election to purchase, the Depositor shall deposit in the Certificate Account on
the related Withdrawal Date an amount equal to the above-described purchase
price and upon such deposit Certificateholders will be entitled to the amount of
such purchase price but not amounts in excess thereof, all as provided herein.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates pursuant to any termination
under this Section 9.1, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall cause to be
distributed to Certificateholders an amount equal to (a) the amount otherwise
distributable on such Distribution Date, if not in connection with a purchase;
or (b) if the Depositor elected to so purchase, the purchase price calculated as
above provided. Upon any termination pursuant to clause (iii) above, or upon
certification to the Trustee by a Servicing Officer following such final
deposit, the Trustee and any Custodian shall promptly release to the Servicer
the Mortgage Files for the remaining Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all
assignments, endorsements and other instruments necessary to effectuate such
transfer.
In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time specified
in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee or its agent shall give a
second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within three months after the second notice all the Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee or its agent shall
take appropriate and reasonable steps as directed by the Servicer, to contact
the remaining Certificateholders
111
concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid
out of the funds and other assets which remain in trust hereunder.
Section 9.2 Trusts Irrevocable. Except as expressly provided herein,
all trusts created hereby are irrevocable.
Section 9.3 Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event the Depositor exercises its purchase option as
provided in Section 9.1, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with
the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee and the Certificate
Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure
of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.3 will not
(i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of REMIC I or
REMIC II of the Trust Fund as described in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, or
(ii) cause either REMIC I or REMIC II of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
(A) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date set
forth in the notice given by the Depositor under Section 9.1, the Tax
Matters Person shall prepare the documents associated with and shall
adopt a plan of complete liquidation of each of REMIC I and REMIC II of
the Trust Fund; and
(B) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of
complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date,
the Servicer as agent of the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of
the Trust Fund to the Depositor for cash in accordance with such plan
of liquidation; provided, however, that in the event that a calendar
quarter ends after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete
liquidation but prior to the final Distribution Date, the Servicer
shall not sell any of the assets of the Trust Fund prior to the close
of that calendar quarter.
(b) The Tax Matters Person hereby agrees to adopt such a plan of
complete liquidation and to take such other action in connection therewith as
may be reasonably requested by the Servicer.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 10.1 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time
by the Depositor and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, (a) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or
to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under
this Agreement, (b) to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions to such extent
as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification
112
of the Trust Fund as a REMIC at all times that any Class A or Subordinate
Certificates are outstanding, provided, that the Trustee has received an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that such action is necessary or desirable to maintain
such qualification, provided, that such action under clauses (a) and (b) above
shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder or (c) such amendment is made to conform the terms of this
Agreement to the terms described in the Prospectus dated October 12, 1999,
together with the Prospectus Supplement dated November 22, 1999.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor
and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing, in
aggregate, not less than 50% of the Trust Fund for the purpose of adding any
provisions 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 (a) reduce in any
manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Loans which
are required to be distributed in respect of any Certificate without the consent
of the Holder of such Certificate; (b) adversely affect in any material respect

the purposes of this Agreement, the Holder of the Class R Certificate shall have
no right to vote at all times that any Class A or Subordinate Certificates are
outstanding if such amendment relates to the modification, elimination or
addition of any provision necessary to maintain the qualification of the Trust
Fund as a REMIC.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment will not cause
either REMIC I or REMIC II of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
any time that any REMIC I Regular Interests or REMIC II Certificates are
outstanding.
As soon as practicable after the execution of any such amendment, the
Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to
each Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Certificateholders
under this Section 10.1 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
113
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that
the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.
The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment
which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this
Agreement.
Section 10.2 Recordation of Agreement. This Agreement (or an abstract
hereof, if acceptable by the applicable recording office) is subject to

the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the
properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate
public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the
Servicer at its expense, but only after the Depositor has delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and
beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.
Section 10.3 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or
incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or 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.

The undersigned (the "Purchaser") proposes to purchase [Class B-3
[Class B-4] [Class B-5] Certificates evidencing an undivided interest in ABN

(the "Purchased Certificates") in the principal amount of $__________. In doing
so, the Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees as follows:
Section 1. Definitions. Each capitalized term used herein and not

connection with the proposed transfer, the Purchaser represents and warrants to

may result if the Transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with

Transferee's Agreement, substantially in the form of this Agreement, and (ii) an
affidavit substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto that the proposed
transferee (x) is not an employee benefit plan or other plan or arrangement

directors is not selected by any such governmental entity, or any foreign
government or international organization, or any agency or instrumentality of
such foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone

to the tax on unrelated business taxable income).
3. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
transfers of the Class R Certificate; (ii) that such tax would be on the
transferor, or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a
broker, nominee or middleman) for a disqualified organization, on the agent;
(iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of
liability for the tax if the transferee furnished to such person an affidavit
that the transferee is not a disqualified organization and, at the time of
transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false; and (iv) that the Class R Certificate may represent "noneconomic residual
interests" within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to
the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain
liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest,
if a significant purpose of the transfer was to enable the transferor to impede
the assessment or collection of tax.
J-1
4. That the Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through
entity" holding the Class R Certificate if at any time during the taxable year
of the pass-through entity a disqualified organization is the record holder of
an interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes
a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust
fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
5. That the Owner is aware that the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar will not register the transfer of the Class R Certificate unless the
transferee, or other transferee's agent, delivers to each of them an affidavit
and agreement, among other things, in substantially the same form as this
affidavit and agreement. The Owner expressly agrees that it will not consummate
any such transfer if it knows or believes that any of the representations
contained in such affidavit and agreement are false.
6. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the
face of the Class R Certificate and the provisions of Section 5.1 of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificate was issued. The
Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and
provisions.
7. That the Owner consents to any additional restrictions or
arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificate will only be
owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is not a disqualified
organization.
8. The Owner's Taxpayer Identification Number is _______________.
9. That no purpose of the Owner relating to the purchase of the
Class R Certificate by the Owner is or will be to enable the transferor to
impede the assessment or collection of tax.
10. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the
Certificates remain outstanding.
11. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any
of the Certificates remain outstanding.
12. That the purpose of the Owner relating to the sale of the
Class R Certificate by the Owner will be to impede the assessment or collection
of tax.
13. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or
trust whose income from sources without the United States is includible in gross
income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its
connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States.
J-2
14. The Owner hereby agrees to cooperate with the Depositor and to
take any action required of it by the Code or Treasury regulations thereunder
(whether now or hereafter promulgated) in order to create or maintain the REMIC
status of the REMIC I or the REMIC II.
15. The Owner hereby agrees that it will not take any action that
could endanger the REMIC status of the REMIC I or the REMIC II, as applicable,
or result in the imposition of tax on the REMIC I or the REMIC II unless counsel
for, or acceptable to, the Depositor has provided an opinion that such action
will not result in the loss of such REMIC status or the imposition of such tax,
as applicable.
16. The Owner as transferee of the Class R Certificate has
represented to their transferor that, if the Class R Certificate represents
noneconomic residual interests, the Owner (i) understands that as holder of a
noneconomic residual interest it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash
flows generated by the interest, and (ii) intends to pay taxes associated with
its holding of the Class R Certificate as they become due.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner has caused this instrument to be

between the Depositor, ABN AMRO Mortgage Group, Inc., as Servicer (the
"Servicer"), and Chase Bank of Texas, National Association, as Trustee (the
"Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set
forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used
herein have the meanings assigned in the Pooling Agreement. Nothing herein shall
be deemed inconsistent with such meanings, and in the event of any conflict
between the Pooling Agreement and the terms of this Certificate, the Pooling
Agreement shall control. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling Agreement, to which Pooling
Agreement the Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof,
assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Distributions will be made, pursuant to the Pooling Agreement, on the
25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business

ABN AMRO MORTGAGE CORPORATION
MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Mortgage Pass- Through Certificates of the Series and Class
specified hereon (herein called the "Certificates") and representing certain
interests in the Certificate Trust Fund.
The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in,
the Depositor or any of its affiliates and are not insured or guaranteed by any
governmental agency. The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Loans, all as more specifically set
forth herein and in the Pooling Agreement. To the extent described in the
Pooling Agreement, the Servicer is obligated to advance its own funds to cover
certain shortfalls with respect to payments on the Loans. In the event Servicer
funds are advanced with respect to any Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the
Servicer from the related recoveries on such Loan or from other cash deposited
in the Custodial Account for P&I to the extent that such advance is not
otherwise recoverable.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial
Account for P&I may be made by the Servicer from time to time for purposes other
than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement
to the Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by it.
The Pooling Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor and the Servicer, and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Pooling Agreement at any time by the Depositor and
the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of the Certificates aggregating not
less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Percentage Interest evidenced by all of the
Certificates of the Trust Fund. For the purposes of such provision and except as
provided below, voting rights related to 100% of the Aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of any Class will be allocated pro rata (by Certificate
Principal Balance) among the Certificates of such Class. Any such consent by the
Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and
upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon
the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Pooling Agreement
also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without
the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or the office maintained by
the Trustee in the City and State of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent duly executed by,
the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
K-4
thereupon one or more new Certificates of Authorized Denominations evidencing
the same Percentage Interest set forth hereinabove will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
No transfer of a Certificate will be made unless such transfer is
exempt from or is made in accordance with the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and any applicable
state securities laws. No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a
Junior Subordinate Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge
or other disposition is made in accordance with Section 5.1(e) or Section 5.1(f)
of the Pooling Agreement. Each Person who, at any time, acquires any ownership
interest in any Junior Subordinate Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance
or acquisition of such ownership interest to have agreed to be bound by the
provisions of such Section 5.1(e) and Section 5.1(f), as applicable. No transfer
of a Junior Subordinate Certificate shall be deemed to be made in accordance
with such Section 5.1(e) unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act or unless the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar are provided with the certificates and an Opinion of
Counsel, if required, on which the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar may
conclusively rely, which establishes or establish to the Trustee's and the
Certificate Registrar's satisfaction that such transfer is exempt from the
registration requirements under the Securities Act, as follows: In the event
that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities
Act, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall require, in order to assure
compliance with the Securities Act, that the Certificateholder desiring to
effect such transfer certify to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar in
writing, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit F to the Pooling
Agreement, the facts surrounding the transfer, with such modifications to such
Exhibit F as may be appropriate to reflect the actual facts of the proposed
transfer, and that the Certificateholder's proposed transferee certify to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar in writing, in substantially the form
attached as Exhibit G to the Pooling Agreement, the facts surrounding the
transfer, with such modifications to such Exhibit G as may be appropriate to
reflect the actual facts of the proposed transfer. If such certificate of the
proposed transferee does not contain substantially the substance of Exhibit G,
the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall require an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without registration, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, the Trust Fund or the Depositor.
Transfers of the Junior Subordinate Certificates may also be made in
accordance with Section 5.1(f) of the Pooling Agreement. To effectuate a
Certificate transfer in accordance with such Section 5.1(f), the proposed
transferee of such Certificate must provide the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar and the Depositor with an investment letter substantially in the form
of Exhibit L attached to the Pooling Agreement, which investment letter shall
not be an expense of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor,
and which investment letter states that, among other things, such transferee (i)
is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined under Rule 144A, acting for its
own account or the accounts of other "qualified institutional buyers" as defined
under Rule 144A, and (ii) is aware that the proposed transferor intends to rely
on the exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act
provided by Rule 144A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proposed transferee of
such Certificate shall not be required to provide the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar or the Depositor with
K-5
Annex 1 or Annex 2 to the form of such Exhibit L if the Depositor so consents
prior to each such transfer. Such transfers shall be deemed to have complied
with the requirements of Section 5.1(f) of the Pooling Agreement. The Holder of
a Certificate desiring to effect such transfer does hereby agree to indemnify
the Trustee, and the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, and the Certificate
Registrar against any liability that may result if transfer is not made in
accordance with the Pooling Agreement.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in Authorized Denominations specified in the Pooling Agreement. As
provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of Authorized
Denominations evidencing the same aggregate interest in the portion of the
Available Distribution Amount distributable on this Class of Certificate, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
A reasonable service charge may be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, and the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate
Administrator, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat
the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for
all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the
Certificate Administrator, the Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer and the
Trustee created under the Pooling Agreement (other than the obligation to make
payments to Certificateholders as set forth therein) shall terminate upon the
earlier of (i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any
Advance with respect thereto) of the last Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and
the disposition of all property acquired in respect of any Loan or (ii) the
purchase by the Class R Certificateholder of all Loans at a price established
pursuant to the Pooling Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the
trust created hereby continue beyond 21 years from the death of the survivor of
certain persons identified in the Pooling Agreement.

This SPECIAL SERVICING AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered
into as of ____________ 1, 1999, between _______________, as seller and master
servicer (the "Company"), _______________, as holder of the Class B Certificates
identified on Schedule I (the "Class B Holder") and _______________, [an
affiliate of the Class B Holder,] as special servicer (the "Special Servicer").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
WHEREAS, the Class B Holder is the holder of at least 75% of each the
classes of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (each a "Class B Certificate") of
the series of issuances (each a "Series") issued by the Company identified on
Schedule I attached hereto (such Schedule I, as may be modified or amended to
reflect (i) the purchase from time to time by the Class B Holder of interests in
any class of Class B Certificates of a Series such that the Class B Holder owns
not less than 75% of the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such
Class B Certificates and (ii) the sale from time to time of the Class B Holder
of interests in any class of Class B Certificates of a Series such that the
Class B Holder owns less than 75% of the then outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of such Class B Certificates, the "Schedule I").
WHEREAS, each of the Class B Certificates was issued by the Company
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or Agreements (each a "Pooling
and Servicing Agreement") identified on Schedule I and evidences an ownership
interest in a pool of Mortgage Loans.
WHEREAS, the Company is the Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans related
to each Series and the Mortgage Loans are serviced in accordance with the
applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement [and the Company's [Servicer Guide]
(the "Servicer Guide")].
WHEREAS, in connection with the purchase by Class B Holder of a Series of
Class B Certificates (whether owned by the Class B Holder on the date hereof or
purchased by the Class B Holder at any time in the future), the Class B Holder
and the Company have agreed that (i) the Class B Holder, if it owns 75% of the
most subordinate outstanding class of Class B Certificates of a Series
(calculated by dividing the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of
such Class B Certificates by the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance
of all certificates of the same class) may elect to have certain Mortgage Loans
with respect to the related Series that become 90 or more days delinquent (each
such Mortgage Loan, a "Delinquent Mortgage Loan") serviced by the Special
Servicer (each such Delinquent Mortgage Loan, a "Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan"), and (ii) with respect to Delinquent Mortgage Loans other than Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Company will provide
R-1
to the Class B Holder such information as is generated [pursuant to the terms of
the Servicer Guide] by the Company or a subservicer with respect to such
Delinquent Loan.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements
hereinafter set forth, the Company, the Class B Holder and the Special Servicer
hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
Section 1.01 Definitions Incorporated by Reference.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall
have the respective meaning ascribed thereto as set forth in the related Pooling
and Servicing Agreement [or the Servicer Guide, as the context may require].
ARTICLE II
DESIGNATION OF SPECIALLY SERVICED MORTGAGE LOANS AND SPECIAL
SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section 2.01 [Approval of _______________ as an Approved Servicer under
the Servicer Guide.
The Company hereby approves _______________ as an approved servicer for
all purposes under the terms of the Servicer Guide.]
Section 2.02 Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans.
To the extent and for so long as the Class B Certificates of a Series are
outstanding and the Class B Holder owns at least 75% of the most subordinate
outstanding class of the Class B Certificates of such Series (calculated by
dividing the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Class B
Certificates by the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of all
certificates of the same class ), Delinquent Mortgage Loans of the related
Series may, at the option of the Class B Holder, be designated in writing by the
Class B Holder as Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and transferred to the
Special Servicer for servicing. The Special Servicer shall service the Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the related Pooling and
Servicing Agreement [and the Servicer Guide].
Following the designation of a Delinquent Mortgage Loan as a Specially
Serviced Loan, the Company shall transfer servicing of such Delinquent Mortgage
Loan to the Special Servicer
R-2
substantially in the manner set forth herein and in Schedule II hereto. [The
parties hereto agree that any fees resulting from the transfer of the servicing
of a Delinquent Mortgage Loan from the Company or a subservicer to the Special
Servicer (or any successor thereto) shall be the obligation of the Company.]
As of the Effective Date (as defined below) of each Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall succeed to and undertake all rights,
duties and obligations of the prior servicer (including, without limitation, the
making of advances, any right to purchase such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
at the purchase price set forth in the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and the right to receive the servicing fee with respect to such Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan) pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the
related Pooling and Servicing Agreement [and the terms and conditions of the
Servicer Guide].
With respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the effective date
(the "Effective Date") shall be the first day of the month immediately following
the month of designation of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as such,
provided that such written designation is received by the Company on or prior to
the 15" calendar day of such month.
Once a Delinquent Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan, such Delinquent Mortgage Loan shall remain a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan, and shall continue to be serviced by the Special Servicer, until the
earlier of the liquidation or other disposition of such Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or the termination of this Agreement, regardless of delinquency
status, whether the related Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property or
otherwise; provided, however, that if the Company exercises its right as Master
Servicer to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans in a Trust Fund pursuant to an
optional termination provision under the related Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the servicing of any related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans with
respect to which foreclosure proceedings have not been commenced shall be
transferred promptly by the Special Servicer in accordance with written
instructions from the Company.
If the Class B Holder (i) transfers such percentage interest in any Class
B Certificates of a Series such that the Class B Holder owns less than 75% of
the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such class, or (ii)
purchases such percentage interest in any Class B Certificates of a Series such
that the Class B Holder owns 75% or more of the then outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance of such class, the Class B Holder shall promptly notify the
Company and the Special Servicer in writing of any such transfer or acquisition.
Upon receipt of written notice from the Class B Holder, the Company or the Class
B Holder shall revise Schedule I hereto to reflect any such transfer or
acquisition and shall forward promptly a copy of such revised schedule to the
Company or the Class B Holder, as applicable, and the Special Servicer. With
respect to the purchase of at least 75% of the Class B Certificates of any
Series by the Class B Holder after the date hereof, this Agreement shall be
effective as of the date such written notice of acquisition is received by the
Company.
R-3
If and to the extent the Company is permitted to purchase Delinquent
Mortgage Loans under the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class B
Holder may direct the Company to purchase any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan
and to promptly resell such Mortgage Loan to the Class B Holder at the price and
on the terms set forth in such Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event the
Class B Holder directs the Company to purchase a Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan as permitted under this Section, the Company shall promptly take all action
necessary under the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement in
order to accomplish such purchase (i.e. provide notification to the Trustee
and/or Custodian) and to resell such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the
Class B Holder. The Class B Holder, and not the Company, shall be required to
remit the purchase price for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the
related Trustee. The Company will inform the Trustee in writing of the purchase
of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan by the Class B Holder and further shall
promptly take all actions necessary or desirable to effect the conveyance of
such Mortgage Loan and the related servicing rights to the Class B Holder or its
designee, time being of the essence.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special
Servicer shall (i) in no event be obligated to effect any cure or remedy in
connection with a deficiency in the documentation for any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan to the extent such deficiency existed at the time such Mortgage
Loan became a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or (ii) have any responsibility
for any obligations, duties, or liabilities of the Company with respect to the
servicing of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that arose prior to the related
Effective Date for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, other than those which
would customarily be assumed after the Effective Date.
Section 2.03 Termination of Special Servicer for Default.
The Company shall have the right, immediately upon written notice, to
terminate the Special Servicer's right and obligation to subservice all of the
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans hereunder in the event (each such event, an
"Event of Default") of:
(i) any failure by the Special Servicer to remit to the Company for
distribution to the Certificateholders of a Series any payment (including
without limitation, any failure to make any required Advance) required to be
made under the terms of this Agreement or the related Pooling and Servicing
Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one day after the date upon
which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall
have been given to the Special Servicer by the Company; or
(ii) any failure on the part of the Special Servicer duly to observe or
perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the
part of the Special Sub-Servicer contained in this Agreement (including any
breach of the Special Servicer's representations and warranties contained in
Section 4.03 hereof, which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders of a Series) which continues unremedied for a period of 30
days after the date on which written notice of
R-4
such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Special Servicer by the Company; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction in an involuntary case under any present or future federal
or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the
winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the
Special Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force
undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(iv) the Special Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to
the Special Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its
property; or
(v) the Special Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of or
otherwise voluntarily commence a case or proceeding under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar statute, make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of
its obligations.
If an Event of Default shall occur, then, and in each and every such
case, upon receipt of written notice from the Company, the Special Servicer
shall immediately remit to the Company all amounts in the Collection Accounts
and the Escrow Accounts and all rights of the Special Servicer to service the
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans shall terminate. Following the receipt of
written notice from the Company as provided above, all authority and power of
the Special Sub-Servicer to subservice all the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans
shall pass to and be vested in the Company pursuant to and under this Section
2.03, and the Special Servicer shall do all things necessary to effect a
transfer of the servicing rights back to the Company. In this regard, the
Company is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Special 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 affected
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The
Special Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Company in implementing the
termination of the Special Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, the transfer to the Company or its appointed
agent for administration by it of all amounts in the possession of the Special
Servicer or thereafter be received with respect to the Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans and the transfer of the servicing rights back to the Company .

R-5
The Class B Holder shall have the right, upon 90 days prior written
notice to the Company and the Special Servicer appoint a successor special
servicer having the characteristics set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)
below, and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Special Servicer under this
Agreement simultaneously with the termination of the Special Servicer's
responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In the event that
the Special Servicer's duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this
Agreement should be terminated pursuant to the foregoing, the Special Servicer
shall discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date
it acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with
the same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise
under this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or
prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The removal of the
Special Servicer shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed
pursuant to this Section and shall in no event relieve the Special Servicer of
the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4.03 and the
remedies available to the Class B Holder and/or the Company under Sections 4.04
and 5.01, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections
4.04 and 5.01 shall be applicable to the Special Servicer notwithstanding any
such termination of it, or the termination of this Agreement.

worth of not less than $1,000,000][meet the eligibility requirements of an

such successor servicer will not result in the downgrading in any rating by any
applicable rating agency of any security issued in connection with the
applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreements, and (iii) have and keep in full

corporate form), and shall obtain its qualification to do business as a foreign

and to perform its duties under this Agreement. Any successor appointed as

the Company an instrument accepting such appointment, wherein the successor
shall make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.03,
whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,
duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Special Servicer,
with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement.
Within 30 days of the appointment of a successor special servicer by the
Class B Holder, the Special Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the
successor entity any and all documents and other instruments, place in such
successor's possession all servicing files related to the Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans, and do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination[, including but

In addition, the Company, as Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, shall send,

servicing personnel available to respond to reasonable inquiries, by phone or in
writing by facsimile, electronic, or overnight mail transmission, in connection
with any Mortgage Loan identified in any report or document provided pursuant to
clause (a) above; provided, that the Company shall only be required to provide
information that is reasonably accessible to its servicing personnel (or its
subservicers).
(c) In addition to the information described above, the Company shall
provide to the Class B Holder such information as the Class B Holder may
reasonably request; provided, however, that the Mortgage Loans are Delinquent
Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property has been foreclosed upon. The Class B
Holder will reimburse the Company for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by it in providing such information.
Section 3.02 Servicing of Delinquent Mortgage Loans.
(a) Prior to the Commencement of Foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the
Company shall provide, or cause the related servicer to provide, the Class B
Holder with a notice (sent by telecopier) of such proposed and imminent
foreclosure, stating the loan number and the aggregate amount due under the
Mortgage Note.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Commencement of Foreclosure" shall mean
the first official action required under local law in order to commence
foreclosure proceedings or to schedule a trustee's sale under a deed of trust,
including (i) in the case of a mortgage, any filing or service of process
necessary to commence an action to foreclosure, or (ii) in the case of a deed of
trust, posting, the publishing, filing or delivery of a notice of sale, but not
including in either case (x) any notice of default, notice of intent to
foreclose or sell or any other action prerequisite to the actions specified in
(i) or (ii) above, (y) the acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure (whether
in connection with a sale of the related property or otherwise) or (z)
initiation and completion of a short pay-off.
(b) In connection with any Delinquent Mortgage Loan with respect to which
a notice under clause (a) above has been delivered to the Class B Holder, the
Class B Holder shall provide the Company with written direction as to the action
to be taken with respect to such Delinquent Mortgage Loan, including, without
limitation, to proceed with foreclosure, to accept a deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure, to consent to a pre-foreclosure sale of Mortgaged Property at a

R-8
the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to purchase Delinquent Mortgage
Loans. Such written direction must be received by the Company within two (2)
Business Days of transmission of the notice provided by the Company under clause
(a) above. Such two (2) Business Day period shall be extended for no longer than
an additional three (3) Business Days after the receipt of additional
information requested if the Class B Holder requests additional information
related to such Delinquent Mortgage Loan; provided, however that the Class B
Holder will have at least one Business Day to provide written direction after
receipt of any requested additional information. Any such additional information
shall be provided only to the extent it is obtainable by the Company from
existing reports, certificates or statements or otherwise be reasonably
accessible to its servicing personnel (or subservicing personnel). The Company
shall as promptly as practicable carry out, or cause the relevant servicer to
carry out, the instruction of the Class B Holder in the manner prescribed in
such written direction. The Class B Holder agrees that it has no right to
negotiate directly with the Mortgagor during such period.
In the event the Class B Holder fails to provide any written direction as
provided above, the Company may take any such action as would be consistent with
customary servicing practices of prudent mortgage loan servicers and the
Company's normal policies and practice.
(c) With respect to any Delinquent Mortgage Loan for which the Company
has not provided a notice as contemplated in clause (a) above, the Class B
Holder may, at any time, provide the Company with written direction as to the
action to be taken with respect to such Delinquent Mortgage Loan, including,
without limitation, to commence foreclosure proceedings, to accept a
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, to consent to a sale of Mortgaged Property at a
loss, or, if permitted under the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, to purchase Delinquent Mortgage Loans. To the extent such action is
not inconsistent with the terms of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement
or the Company's duties thereunder as master servicer, the Company shall as
promptly as practicable carry out, or cause the relevant servicer to carry out,
the instruction of the Class B Holder in the manner prescribed in such written
direction.
(d) Any foreclosure of a Delinquent Mortgage Loan that has been initiated
in accordance with clauses (b) or (c) above may be discontinued if (i) the
Mortgage Loan has been brought current or if a refinancing or prepayment occurs
with respect to the Mortgage Loan (including by means of a short payoff approved
by the Class B Holder), (ii) the Company has agreed to the terms of a
forbearance agreement with the Mortgagor and such forbearance agreement has been
approved by the Class B Holder, or (iii) if and to the extent permitted under
the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Class B Holder directs the Company
to purchase such Delinquent Mortgage Loan at the price and on the terms set
forth in the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(e) In the event the Class B Holder directs the Company to purchase a
Delinquent Mortgage Loan as permitted under Sections 2.02 and 3.02 (b), (c) and
(d), the Class B Holder may direct the Company to purchase any Delinquent
Mortgage Loan and to promptly resell such Mortgage Loan to
R-9
the Class B Holder at the price and on the terms set forth in the applicable
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event the Class B Holder directs the
Company to purchase a Delinquent Mortgage Loan as permitted under this Section,
the Company shall promptly take all action necessary under the terms of the
related Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to accomplish such purchase
(i.e. provide notification to the Trustee and/or Custodian) and to resell such
Delinquent Mortgage Loan to the Class B Holder. The Class B Holder, and not the
Company, shall be required to remit the purchase price for such Delinquent
Mortgage Loan to the related Trustee. The Company will inform the Trustee in
writing of the purchase of such Delinquent Mortgage Loan by the Class B Holder
and further shall promptly take all actions necessary or desirable to effect the
conveyance of such Mortgage Loan and the related servicing rights to the Class B
Holder or its designee, time being of the essence. [The parties hereto agree
that, in connection with a purchase of a Delinquent Mortgage Loan as provided
above, any fees resulting from the transfer of the servicing of such purchased
Delinquent Mortgage Loan from the Company or a subservicer to a servicer
designated by the Class B Holder shall be the obligation of the Company.]
Section 3.03 Review of the Company's Procedures.
The Company and the Class B Holder hereby agree that the Class B Holder
shall have the right, at its own expense and during normal business hours, to
review any and all of the books, records, or other information of the Company
which may be relevant to the Company's direct collection, loss mitigation
foreclosure and REO management procedures currently in place in order to confirm
that the procedures used by the Company and its subservicers are in accordance
with the customary servicing practices of prudent mortgage loan servicers. In
order to discuss such books, records or other information, the Company shall
make personnel available who are knowledgeable about such matters.
