If in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot
deliver the Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage or assumption, consolidation or
modification, as the case may be, with evidence of recording thereon
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement solely because of
a delay caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage, Assignments
of Mortgage or assumption, consolidation or modification, as the case may be,
has been delivered for recordation, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee written notice stating that such Mortgage, Assignments
of Mortgage or assumption, consolidation or modification, as the case may be,
has been delivered to the appropriate public recording office for recordation.
Thereafter, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee
such Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage or assumption, consolidation or
modification, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon
upon receipt thereof from the public recording office.
The Servicer shall cause to be recorded in the appropriate public
recording office for real property records each Assignment of Mortgage referred
to in this Section 2.01 as soon as practicable. While each Assignment of
Mortgage to be recorded is being recorded, the Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee a photocopy of such document. If any such Assignment of Mortgage is
returned unrecorded to the Servicer because of any defect therein, the Servicer
shall cause such defect to be cured and such document to be recorded in
accordance with this paragraph. The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be
delivered each original recorded Assignment of Mortgage and intermediate
assignment to the Trustee within 270 days of the Closing Date or shall deliver
to the Trustee on or before such date an Officer's Certificate stating that such
document has been delivered to the appropriate public recording office for
recordation,
35
but has not been returned solely because of a delay caused by such recording
office. In any event, the Depositor shall use all reasonable efforts to cause
each such document with evidence of recording thereon to be delivered to the
Trustee within 300 days of the Closing Date.
The ownership of each Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the contents
of the related Mortgage File is vested in the Trustee. Neither the Depositor nor
the Servicer shall take any action inconsistent with such ownership and shall
not claim any ownership interest therein. The Depositor and the Servicer shall
respond to any third party inquiries with respect to ownership of the Mortgage
Loans by stating that such ownership is held by the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. Mortgage documents relating to the Mortgage Loans not
delivered to the Trustee are and shall be held in trust by the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee as the owner thereof, and the
Servicer's or such Sub-Servicer's possession of the contents of each Mortgage
File so retained is for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan,
and such retention and possession by the Servicer or such Sub-Servicer is in a
custodial capacity only. The Depositor agrees to take no action inconsistent
with the Trustee's ownership of the Mortgage Loans, to promptly indicate to all
inquiring parties that the Mortgage Loans have been sold and to claim no
ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans. Each Mortgage File and the mortgage
documents relating to the Mortgage Loans contain proprietary business
information of the Servicer and its customers. The Trustee and the Depositor
agree that they will not use such information for business purposes without the
express written consent of the Servicer and that all such information shall be
kept strictly confidential.
It is the intention of this Agreement that the conveyance of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Trust Fund pursuant to this
Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. If a conveyance
of Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Depositor is characterized as a pledge
and not a sale, then the Depositor shall be deemed to have transferred to the
Trustee all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under the
obligations of the Seller deemed to be secured by said pledge; and it is the
intention of this Agreement that the Depositor shall also be deemed to have
granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title, and interest in, to and under the obligations of the
Seller to the Depositor deemed to be secured by said pledge and that the Trustee
shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the
security interest granted to the Depositor. If the conveyance of the Mortgage
Loans from the Depositor to the Trustee is characterized as a pledge, it is the
intention of this Agreement that this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law, and that the Depositor shall be deemed to have
granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, all
payments of principal of or interest on such Mortgage Loans, all other rights
relating to and payments made in respect of the Trust Fund, and all proceeds of
any thereof. If the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the
satisfaction of the claims of any Person in any Certificates, the security
interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee
shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person.
In addition to the conveyance made in the first paragraph of this
Section 2.01, the Depositor does hereby convey, assign and set over to the
Trustee all of its right, title and interest in that portion of the Trust Fund
described in items (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the definition thereof and
further assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders those
representations and warranties of the Seller contained in the Sale Agreement and
described in Section 3.01 hereof and the benefit of the repurchase obligations
of the Seller described in Sections 2.02 and 3.01 hereof and the obligations of
the Seller contained in the Sale Agreement to take, at the request of the
Depositor or the Trustee, all action on its part which is reasonably necessary
to ensure the enforceability of a Mortgage Loan.
36
Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee. Except as set forth in the
Exception Report delivered contemporaneously herewith (the "Exception Report"),
the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan and
delivery of a Mortgage File (but does not acknowledge receipt of all documents
required to be included in such Mortgage File) with respect to each Mortgage
Loan and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and any other
documents constituting a part of the Mortgage Files delivered to it in trust for
the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Depositor
will cause the Seller to repurchase any Mortgage Loans to which an exception was
taken in the Exception Report unless such exception is cured to the satisfaction
of the Trustee within 45 Business Days of the Closing Date.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to
review each Mortgage File delivered to it within 270 days after the Closing Date
to ascertain that all documents required by Section 2.01 have been executed and
received, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in
Exhibit A that have been conveyed to it. If the Trustee finds any document or
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective
(that is, mutilated, damaged, defaced or unexecuted) in any material respect,
the Trustee shall promptly (and in any event within no more than five Business
Days) after such finding so notify the Servicer, the Seller and the Depositor.
In addition, the Trustee shall also notify the Servicer, the Seller and the
Depositor, if (a) in examining the Mortgage Files, the documentation shows on
its face (i) any adverse claim, lien or encumbrance, (ii) that any Mortgage Note
was overdue or had been dishonored, (iii) any evidence on the face of any
Mortgage Note or Mortgage of any security interest or other right or interest
therein, or (iv) any defense against or claim to the Mortgage Note by any party
or (b) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon with respect to
a Mortgage Loan is not received within 270 days of the Closing Date. The Trustee
shall request that the Seller correct or cure such omission, defect or other
irregularity, or substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the provisions of
Section 3.03, within 60 days from the date the Seller was notified of such
omission or defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such omission or
defect within such period, that the Seller purchase such Mortgage Loan from the
Trustee within 90 days from the date the Trustee notified the Seller of such
omission, defect or other irregularity at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage
Loan. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased pursuant to this
Section 2.02 shall be paid to the Servicer and deposited by the Servicer in the
Collection Account promptly upon receipt, and, upon receipt by the Trustee of
written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee
shall promptly release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, without
recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee, as the
case may be, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall
have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage Loan. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to purchase, cure or
substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect in or omission of a
constituent document exists shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such
defect or omission available to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The
Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review and examine such
documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are
genuine, enforceable or appropriate to the represented purpose, or that they
have actually been recorded, or that they are other than what they purport to be
on their face. The Trustee shall keep confidential the name of each Mortgagor
and shall not solicit any such Mortgagor for the purpose of refinancing the
related Mortgage Loan.
Within 280 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to
the Depositor and the Servicer the Trustee's Certification, substantially in the
form of Exhibit G attached hereto, setting forth the status of the Mortgage
Files as of such date.
37

Trustee acknowledges and accepts the assignment to it of the Trust Fund created
pursuant to this Agreement in trust for the use and benefit of all present and
future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it for the
benefit of the Trust Fund of the Mortgage Loans and has caused to be
authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange
for the Mortgage Loans, Certificates duly authenticated by the Trustee or, if an
Authenticating Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 4.06, the
Authenticating Agent in authorized denominations evidencing ownership of the
entire Trust Fund.

following representations and warranties with respect to each Mortgage Loan in
such Sale Agreement as of the Closing Date, which representations and warranties
run to and are for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee for the benefit
of the Certificateholders, and as to which the Depositor has assigned to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, pursuant to Section 2.01
hereof, the right to cause the Seller to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as to which

such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not
yet due and payable;
(e) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been
impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written
instruments. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms
thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement and which
41
assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are
reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(f) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without
limitation, the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of
the Mortgage Note or Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render
the Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to
any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense
of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has
been asserted with respect thereto, and the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any
state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage
Loan was originated;
(g) All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon
the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable under the FNMA

as are provided for in the FNMA Guides or by FHLMC. All such standard hazard
policies are in full force and effect and on the date of origination contained a
standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors in interest and
assigns as loss payee and such clause is still in effect and all premiums due
thereon have been paid. If required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973, as amended, the Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy

Administration which policy conforms to FNMA and FHLMC requirements. The
Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at

(i) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated,

instrument been executed that would effect any such release, cancellation,
subordination or rescission;
(j) The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected
first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including, all buildings on the Mortgaged
Property and all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and
air conditioning systems affixed to such buildings, and all additions,
alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing
securing the Mortgage Note's original principal balance. The Mortgage and the
Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other
interest or right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims,
liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage
subject only to (1) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and
assessments not yet due and payable, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions,
rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date
of recording which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and
either (A) which are referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made
for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect
the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal,
and (3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not
materially interfere with the
42
benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use,
enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any
security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and
delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid,
subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first priority security
interest on the property described therein, and the Depositor has the full right
to sell and assign the same to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders;
(k) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and
genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker
thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the
rights of creditors and the Depositor has taken all action necessary to transfer
such rights of enforceability to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the
legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been
duly and property executed by such parties. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan
have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances
thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or
off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have
been complied with;
(1) The Depositor is the sole owner of record and holder of the
Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note, except for
the Assignments of Mortgage which have been sent for recording, and upon
recordation the Depositor will be the owner of record of the Mortgage and the
indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note, and upon the sale of the Mortgage
Loan to the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Depositor will
retain the Mortgage File or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered
to the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders or its designee in trust
only for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of the Mortgage
Loan. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage
Note and the Mortgage, were not subject to an assignment or pledge, and the
Depositor had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof and
had full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and has the full right and
authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any
other party, to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and
following the sale of the Mortgagee Loan, the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any
encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or
security interest;
(m) The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title
insurance policy or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance
acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA or
FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (j) (1),
(2) and (3) above) the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first
priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan. Such lender's title insurance policy insures ingress and egress by or upon
the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. Where required by state law or
regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier
of the required mortgage title insurance. The Seller, its successors and
assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender's title insurance policy, such
title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders or the assignment to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders of the Seller's interest therein does not
require the consent of or notification to the insurer and such lender's title
insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be
43
in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance
policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has
done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such
lender's title insurance policy;
(n) There is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existent, under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no
event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any
grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event
permitting acceleration; and neither the Seller nor any prior mortgagee has
waived any default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration;
(o) There are no mechanics', or similar liens or claims which have
been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under
law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property
which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage;
(p) All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered
in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within
the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and
wholly within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and no
improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except
those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in
clause (m) above and all improvements on the property comply with all applicable
zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances; the Mortgaged Property is lawfully
occupied under applicable law;
(q) The Mortgage Loan complies in all material respects with all
the terms, conditions and requirements of the Seller's underwriting standards in
effect at the time of origination of such Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Notes and
Mortgages (exclusive of any riders) are on forms generally acceptable to FNMA or
FHLMC. Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first
day of each month. The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable provisions of
the originator at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment of
the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged
Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder;
(r) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, the Mortgaged Property
is not subject to any material damage by waste, fire, earthquake, windstorm,
flood or other casualty. To the best of the Seller's knowledge, at origination
of the Mortgage Loan there was, and there currently is, no proceeding pending
for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property;
(s) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of
the security provided thereby, including, (l) in the case of a Mortgage
designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (2) otherwise by judicial
foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor
which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a
trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage;
(t) If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee,
authorized and duly qualified if required under applicable law to act as such,
has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the
Mortgage, and no fees or expenses, except as may be required by local law, are
or will
44
become payable by, the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except
in connection with a trustee's sale or attempted sale after default by the
Mortgagor;
(u) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related
Mortgaged Property signed prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan
application by an appraiser approved by the Seller who had no interest, direct
or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security
thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval
of the Mortgage Loan. The appraisal is in a form acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC;
(v) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage,
whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period
in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in substantial
compliance with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the
state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (B) (1) organized under the

Bank or savings bank having principal offices in such state, or (4) not doing

by applicable law with respect to the making of such mortgage loans;

features;
(z) The Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy and, to the best of the
Seller's knowledge, the Mortgagor is not insolvent;

Mortgage Loan has an original term to maturity of not more than thirty (30)
years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. Each
Mortgage Note is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest
which are sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity
date. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result in
negative amortization;
(bb) Each Mortgage Note, each Mortgage, each Assignment of
Mortgage and any other documents required pursuant to this Agreement to be
delivered to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders or its designee, or
its assignee for each Mortgage Loan, have been, on or before the Closing Date,
delivered to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders or its designee, or
its assignee;
(cc) All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance
with state and federal law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and
Mortgage. As to any Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an escrow, escrow of
funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every escrowed item that remains unpaid and has been
assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or other charges or
payments due under the Mortgage Note have
45
been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note. Any interest
required to be paid pursuant to state, federal and local law has been properly
paid and credited;
(dd) [Reserved];
(ee) In the event the Mortgage Loan has a Loan-to-Value Ratio
greater than 80%, the excess of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over
75% of the Appraised Value, with respect to a refinanced Mortgage Loan, or the
lesser of the Appraised Value or the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property,
with respect to a purchase money Mortgage Loan, is and will be insured as to
payment defaults by a Primary Insurance Policy issued by a Qualified Insurer.
All provisions of such Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied
with such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder
have been paid. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts
exists that has, or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to
coverage. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Insurance Policy obligates the
Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the Primary Insurance Policy and to pay all
premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Rate for the Mortgage
Loan as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance
premium;
(ff)The Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is
acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Property is located;
(gg) As to Mortgage Loans that are not secured by an interest in a
leasehold estate, the Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in
the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with
a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two-to four-family
dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or an
individual unit in an attached planned unit development or a detached planned
unit development, provided, however, that no residence or dwelling is a single
parcel of real property with a mobile home thereon. As of the date of
origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property was used for commercial
purposes, and since the date of origination, to the best of the Seller's
knowledge, no portion of the Mortgaged Property is used for commercial purposes;

unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit development) such
condominium or planned unit development project meets the Seller's eligibility

or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or facilitating the trade-in or
exchange of a Mortgaged Property;
(ll)No action has been taken or failed to be taken by Depositor,

exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any Primary Insurance
Policy (including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which
would
46
limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the
loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions,
representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Depositor, or
for any other reason under such coverage;
(mm) The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by
the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211

(oo) The Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (without regard to Treasury
Regulations ss. 1.860G-2(f) or any similar rule that provides that a defective

Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicer or the
Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which

(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Servicer

Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage Loan, within
the time and in the manner and with the remedies specified in Section 2.02,
except that for purposes of this Section 3.03 (other than the two-year period
specified in the first sentence of this Section), such time shall be measured
from the date of the applicable substitution. In the event of such a
substitution, accrued interest on the substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in
which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during
such month shall be the property of the Trust Fund, and accrued interest for
such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any
Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of
the Seller. The principal payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due
Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Seller, and the
principal payment on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on
such date shall be the property of the Trust Fund.

4.05, the Paying Agent, of an adequate supply of certificates from the
Depositor, the Trustee or if the Paying Agent is appointed under Section 4.05,
the Paying Agent shall issue the Definitive Certificates based on information

Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
such instructions.
(d) The Certificates shall be issuable in the minimum original
dollar denominations (and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of such amount)
and aggregate original dollar denominations per Class as set forth in the
following table (except that one Certificate of each of the Class A-13, Class X-

interest on the Class A-7 Component Two Notional Balance (initially
$11,719,285.71). Class A-7 Component Three has a Original Certificate

the Subsidiary Residual Interest.
(4) The Class A-X Certificates have no Principal Balance, but accrue
interest on the Class A-X Notional Balance (initially, $468,582,348).
The Certificates shall be signed by manual or facsimile
signature on behalf of the Depositor by an officer of the Depositor.
Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were
at the time of signature officers of the Depositor shall bind the Depositor,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be an
officer prior to the
51
authentication and delivery of such Certificate or did not hold such offices at
the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such
Certificate a manual authentication by an officer of the Depositor and such
authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
Section 4.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates. (a) The Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed hereunder
pursuant to Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, shall cause to be kept a Certificate
Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe,
the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers
and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has
been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, maintained for such
purpose, the Depositor shall execute and the Trustee or if an Authenticating
Agent is appointed under Section 4.06, the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, a Certificate of a like Class and aggregate Percentage Interest and
dated the date of authentication by the Authenticating Agent.
(c) No transfer of a Class A-X, Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class
B-5 Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an
effective registration statement or otherwise in accordance with the
requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If such a transfer is
to be made in reliance upon an exemption from said Act, (i) the Depositor may
require (except with respect to the initial transfer of a Class B-3, Class B-4
or Class B-5 Certificate from Xxxxxx Brothers Inc. and except if the transferee
executes a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto) a written
opinion of independent counsel acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an
exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said
Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which opinion of
counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor or
the Servicer, and (ii) the Depositor shall require the transferee to execute a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit H or Exhibit I.
(d) No transfer of a Subordinated Certificate or the Class A-R
Certificate shall be made to any employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of such plan,
except pursuant to Clause (i)(B) below or using the assets of such plan. No
transfer of a Subordinated Certificate or the Class A-R Certificate shall be
made unless the Depositor shall have received either (i) a representation
letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit M, from the transferee of such
Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Depositor, to the effect that (A) such transferee is not an employee benefit
plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person
acting on behalf of any such plan or using the assets of such plan, or
alternatively, (B) the source of funds for the purchase of such Certificate is
an "insurance company general account" within the meaning of Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60"), 60 Fed. Reg. 35925 (July 12,
1995), and the terms and conditions of Section I and Section III of PTCE 95- 60
are satisfied with respect to the acquisition and holding of such Certificate,
which representation letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the
Depositor or the Servicer, or (ii) in the case of a Subordinated Certificate or
the Class A-R Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee
benefit plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable
provisions of any subsequent enactments)
52
or a trustee of any such plan or any other Person who is using the assets of any
such plan to effect such acquisition, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the
Depositor to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Subordinated
Certificate will not result in the assets of the Trust Fund being deemed to be
"plan assets" pursuant to the Department of Labor Plan Asset Regulations set
forth in 29 C.F.R. ss.2510.3-101 and subject to the fiduciary responsibility
provisions of ERISA or the prohibited transaction provisions of the Code, will
not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction within the meaning of
Section 406 or Section 407 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and will not
subject the Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer to any obligation in addition
to those undertaken in this Agreement, which opinion of counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer.
(e) At the option of a Certificateholder, a Certificate may be
exchanged for another Certificate or Certificates of authorized denominations of
a like Class, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at any office or
agency of the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section
4.05, the Paying Agent, maintained for such purpose. Whenever the Certificate is
so surrendered for exchange, the Depositor shall execute and the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Certificate which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate
presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the
Authenticating Agent) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Authenticating Agent duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(f) No service charge shall be made to the Holder for any
transfer or exchange of a Certificate, but the Servicer may require payment by
the Certificateholders of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of such
Certificate.
(g) All Certificates surrendered for transfer or exchange
shall be destroyed by the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under
Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, in accordance with the Trustee's or, if a Paying
Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent's, standard
procedures.
(h) At the option of the Holder of the Class A-R Certificate,
the Subsidiary Residual Interest and the Master Residual Interest may be severed
and represented by separate certificates; provided, however, that such separate
certification may not occur until the Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that separate certification in the form and manner proposed would not
result in the imposition of federal tax upon either REMIC Pool or cause either
REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC; and provided further, that the
provisions of Sections 4.02(c), 402(d), 402(i) and 7.02(b) will apply to each
such separate certificate as if the separate certificate were a Class A-R
Certificate. If, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, it is necessary to
preserve the REMIC status of either REMIC Pool, the Subsidiary Residual Interest
and the Master Residual Interest shall be severed and represented by separate
Certificates.
(i) A Disqualified Organization is prohibited from acquiring
beneficial ownership of a Class A-R Certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, unless and until the Servicer shall have received an
Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to it in form and substance, to the effect that
the absence of the conditions contained in this Section 4.02(i) would not result
in the imposition of federal tax upon either REMIC Pool or cause either REMIC
Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC, no transfer, sale or other disposition of
the Class A-R Certificate (including for purposes of this section any
53
beneficial interest therein) may be made without the express written consent of
the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the
Trustee, which consent is to be granted by the Certificate Registrar or, if no
Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee only upon compliance with the
requirements of this Section. As a condition to granting its consent to a
transfer of a Class A-R Certificate, the Servicer shall require the proposed
transferee of such Certificate (including, in the case of the initial issuance
of the Class A-R Certificate, the initial Holder thereof) to execute a letter
and affidavit substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K.
As a condition to the granting of the consent referred to in
this Section 4.02(i), prior to the transfer, sale, pledge, hypothecation or
other disposition of the Class A-R Certificate or any interest therein, the
Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee
shall require that the proposed transferee deliver to it (1) its taxpayer
identification number and state, under penalties of perjury that such number is
the social security or employee identification number, as the case may be, of
the transferee or provide an affidavit under penalties of perjury stating that
as of the date of such transfer such transferee is not and has no intention of
becoming a Disqualified Organization, (2) an affidavit stating (i) that such
transferee is not acquiring such Class A-R Certificate as an agent, broker,
nominee, or middleman for a Disqualified Organization, (ii) if the Residual
Interest is a "non-economic residual interest" within the meaning of Treas. Reg.
ss.1.860E-1(c)(2), (X) that no purpose of the acquisition of the Class A-R
Certificate is to avoid or impede the assessment or collection of tax, (Y) that
such transferee has historically paid its debts as they came due and will
continue to pay its debts as they come due, and (Z) that such transferee
represents that it understands that, as the holder of the non-economic residual
interest, the transferee may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows
generated by the interest and that the transferee intends to pay taxes
associated with holding the residual interest, and (iii) unless the Certificate
Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee consents to
the transfer of the Class A-R Certificate to a Person who is not a U.S. Person
and who has furnished a duly completed and effective Form 4224, that it is a
U.S. Person, and (3) the transferor deliver to the Certificate Registrar or, if
no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee a written certification that
as of the date of such transfer it has no knowledge and no reason to know that
the affirmations described in clauses (1) and (2) were false. The Certificate
Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee shall not
grant the consent referred to in this Section 4.02(i) if it has actual knowledge
that any statement made in the affidavit issued pursuant to the preceding
sentence is not true. Notwithstanding any purported transfer, sale or other
disposition of the Class A-R Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, such
transfer, sale or other disposition shall be deemed to be of no legal force or
effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization shall not be deemed to be a
Class A-R Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not
limited to, the receipt of distributions on such Class A-R Certificate. If any
purported transfer shall be in violation of the provisions of this Section
4.02(i) then the prior holder of the Class A-R Certificate shall, upon discovery
that the transfer of such Class A-R Certificate was not in fact permitted by
this Section 4.02(i), be restored to all rights as a Holder thereof retroactive
to the date of the purported transfer of such Class A-R Certificate. The Trustee
and the Servicer shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration
or transfer of a Class A-R Certificate that is not permitted by this Section
4.02(i) or for making payments due on such Class A-R Certificate to the
purported Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such
purported Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer
was not registered under the written certification of the Certificate Registrar
or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee as described in this
Section 4.02(i). The prior Holder shall be entitled to recover from any
purported Holder of a Class A-R Certificate that was in fact not a permitted
purported transferee under this Section 4.02(i) at the time it became a
purported Holder all payments made to such purported Holder on such Class A-R
Certificate; provided that the Servicer shall not be responsible
54
for such recovery. Each Class A-R Certificateholder, by the acceptance of the
Class A-R Certificate, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the
provisions of this Section 4.02(i) and to any amendment to this Agreement deemed
necessary by counsel of the Trustee or the Servicer to ensure that the Class A-R
Certificate is not transferred to a Disqualified Organization and that any
transfer of such Class A-R Certificate will not cause the imposition of a tax
upon either REMIC Pool or cause either REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
The restrictions on transfer of the Class A-R Certificate will cease to apply
and be void upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate
Registrar is appointed, the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
such restrictions on transfer are no longer necessary to avoid the risk of
material federal taxation to either REMIC Pool or prevent either REMIC Pool from
qualifying as a REMIC.
(j) The Servicer shall make available upon written request to
each Holder and each proposed transferee of a Class A-X, Class B-3, Class B-4 or
Class B-5 Certificate such information as may be required to permit the proposed
transfer to be effected pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.
Section 4.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or,
if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, or
the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the
Paying Agent, receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee or, if a
Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, such
security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under
Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, that such Certificate has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under
Section 4.05, the Paying 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 tenor and Class. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate
under this Section, the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under
Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, may require of the Certificateholder 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 connected therewith. Any
replacement Certificate of any Class issued pursuant to this Section shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership of the Percentage
Interest in the distributions to which the Certificateholders of such Class are
entitled, as if originally issued, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Certificate shall be found at any time, and such mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Certificate shall be of no force or effect under this Agreement,
to the extent permitted by law.
Section 4.04. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation
of a Certificate of any Class for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Trustee may treat the person in whose name
any Certificate is registered on the Record Date as the owner of such
Certificate and the Percentage Interest in the distributions to which the
Certificateholders of such Class are entitled on the relevant date as the Holder
of such Certificate and the Percentage Interest represented by such Certificate
for the purpose of receiving remittances pursuant to Section 6.01 and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Servicer nor the
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
55
Section 4.05. Appointment of Paying Agent; Certificate Account.
The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent hereunder, which Paying Agent shall not
be Depositor, the Seller, or an affiliate of the Depositor or the Seller unless
such Paying Agent is the Corporate Trust Department of Chase. In the event of
any such appointment, on the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the
Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent from funds
on deposit in the Collection Account a sum up to the Available Distribution
Amount, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of Certificateholders in a
segregated account (the "Certificate Account") which shall be an Eligible
Account in the name of "Citibank, N.A., as Trustee, in trust for and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders of Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Chase Mortgage Finance Corporation, Series 1999-S8 Certificate
Account". The Servicer shall cause the Paying Agent to perform each of the
obligations of the Paying Agent set forth herein and shall be liable to the
Trustee and the Certificateholders for failure of the Paying Agent to perform
such obligations. If the Paying Agent is a party other than the Trustee, the
Trustee shall have no liability in connection with the performance or failure of
performance of the Paying Agent. The Trustee designates the Corporate Trust
Department of Chase as the initial Paying Agent. Only the Trustee may remove the
Paying Agent, and may do so at will.
If, on any Distribution Date, the Paying Agent fails to
distribute to Certificateholders the amounts then on deposit in the Certificate
Account for the purposes specified herein, the Trustee shall be obligated
promptly upon its knowledge thereof to distribute such amounts to
Certificateholders in the manner and in such amounts based upon information
provided by the Servicer; provided that in no event shall the Trustee be
obligated for purposes of this paragraph to distribute to Certificateholders any
amounts other than those on deposit in the Certificate Account or expend any
funds not reimbursable pursuant to Section 10.05 hereof, except as otherwise
provided herein. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Trustee shall be liable to the Servicer and the Certificateholders only for its
negligence in connection with the withdrawal of funds from the Certificate
Account by the Trustee and the distribution of such funds by the Trustee to
Certificateholders pursuant to this paragraph.
The Servicer shall cause each Paying Agent other than the
Trustee to execute and deliver to the Servicer and the Trustee on the Closing
Date or, if subsequently appointed, on the date of appointment, a written
instrument executed by an officer of the Paying Agent in which such Paying Agent
shall agree with the Servicer and the Trustee that such Paying Agent will hold
all sums held by it for the payment to Certificateholders in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid
to such Certificateholders.
Section 4.06. Authenticating Agents. (a) The Trustee may
appoint one or more Authenticating Agents (each, an "Authenticating Agent")
which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating the
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 an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed
on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent
must be an entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America or of any state, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. If the
Authenticating Agent is a party other than the Trustee, the Trustee shall have
no liability in connection with the performance or failure of performance of the
Authenticating Agent. The Trustee hereby appoints Chase as the initial
Authenticating Agent.
56
(b) Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any
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) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least
30 days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Depositor.
The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the
Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or
in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance within the provisions of this Section 4.06, the Trustee may appoint a
successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to
the Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of
Certificates. 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 named as Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent
shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 4.06. No
Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken
by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Any Authenticating Agent shall be
entitled to reasonable compensation for its services and any such compensation
shall be payable solely by the Trustee, without any right of reimbursement from
the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trust Fund.
[END OF ARTICLE IV]
ARTICLE V
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 5.01. Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans. The Servicer
shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and
authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 5.02, to
do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection
with such servicing and administration, all in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer shall, pursuant to a
power of attorney granted hereby by the Trustee for such purposes, when the
Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its
best judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and
the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to
the Mortgaged Properties; provided, however, that subject to the provisions of
this paragraph, the Servicer may allow a modification with respect to a Mortgage
Loan if the Servicer would take such action in the ordinary course of its
business if it were the owner of the Mortgage Loan. The Servicer may agree to a
modification of any Mortgage Loan (the "Relevant Mortgage Loan") upon the
request of the related Mortgagor, provided that (i) the modification is in lieu
of a refinancing and the Mortgage Rate on the Relevant Mortgage Loan, as
modified, is approximately a prevailing market rate of newly-originated mortgage
loans having similar terms, (ii) the aggregate of the adjusted bases of all
Modified Mortgage Loans (including the Relevant Mortgage Loans) plus the
aggregate adjusted bases of any assets that are not qualified mortgages or
permitted investments under Section 860G(a) of the Code that are assets of the
Trust Fund established hereunder at all times on any day is less than one
percent of the aggregate of the adjusted bases of all assets of the Trust Fund
(including such Modified Mortgage Loans) on such day, and (iii) the Servicer
57
purchases the Relevant Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund as described below.
Effective immediately after such modification, and, in any event, on the same
Business Day on which the modification occurs, all right, title and interest of
the Trustee in and to the Modified Mortgage Loan shall automatically be deemed
transferred and assigned to the Servicer and all benefits and burdens of
ownership thereof, including without limitation the right to accrued interest
thereon from and including the date of modification and the risk of default
thereon, shall pass to the Servicer. To confirm such transfer and assignment,
the Servicer, as servicer hereunder, as soon as practicable shall execute an
instrument of assignment of the Modified Mortgage Loan without recourse in
customary form to the Servicer in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall
deposit the Purchase Price for any Modified Mortgage Loan in the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 5.08. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written
notification of any such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee
shall release to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as shall be necessary more fully to vest in the Servicer any Modified
Mortgage Loan previously transferred and assigned pursuant thereto.
The Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee for execution and
redelivery to the Servicer or, at the request of the Servicer, a Sub-Servicer,
such documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and
administer the Mortgage Loans and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the
Servicer's application thereof. The Servicer agrees to remain eligible as either
a FNMA or FHLMC seller/servicer, or both, for so long as it is Servicer.
All Servicing Advances made by the Servicer in effecting the
timely payment of taxes, insurance and assessments on the properties subject to
the Mortgage Loans shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the
related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so
permit, and such Servicing Advances shall be recoverable by the Servicer to the
extent permitted by Sections 5.09 and 5.23.
Section 5.02. Sub-servicing Agreements Between Servicer and
Sub-servicers; Enforcement of Sub-servicer's Obligations. (a) The Servicer may
enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub-Servicers for the servicing and
administration of all or part of the Mortgage Loans. References in this
Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in servicing the
Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf
of the Servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement will be upon such terms and
conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Servicer and
the Sub-Servicer have agreed. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing
promptly upon the appointment of any Sub-Servicer. For purposes of this
Agreement, the receipt by the Sub-Servicer of any amount with respect to a
Mortgage Loan (other than amounts representing servicing compensation or
reimbursement for an advance) shall be treated as the receipt by the Servicer of
such amount. The Sub-Servicer shall deposit all such funds in an Eligible
Account.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the
Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall
enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements as appropriate,
and the pursuit of other remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such
an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment,
would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer
shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense but shall be
reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such
enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all
58
amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific
recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the party against whom
such enforcement is directed.
Section 5.03. Successor Sub-servicers. The Servicer shall be
entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may exist in accordance
with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement and without any
limitation by virtue of this Agreement.
Section 5.04. Liability of the Servicer. Notwithstanding any
Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference
to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain
obligated and liable to the Trustee and Certificateholders for the servicing and
administering of the Mortgage 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 Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions
as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans.
The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer
for indemnification of the Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
Section 5.05. No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-servicer
and Trustee or Certificateholders. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be
entered into and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage
Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator
shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone, and the
Trustee and Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall
have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the
Sub-Servicer.
Section 5.06. Termination of Sub-servicing Agreement. If the
Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer hereunder (including by
reason of any Event of Default), the Servicer shall thereupon terminate each
Sub-Servicing Agreement that may have been entered into, and the Trustee, its
designee or the successor servicer and the Trustee shall not be deemed to have
assumed any of the Servicer's interest therein or to have replaced the Servicer
as a party to any such Sub-Servicing Agreement.
Section 5.07. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on all
Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Servicer will proceed diligently to collect
all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due
and payable (provided, however, that the Servicer may elect, to the extent
consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to waive any late payment charge
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 held in its own portfolio. Any such arrangements
shall not diminish or otherwise affect the Servicer's obligation to make
Advances pursuant to Section 6.03.
Section 5.08. Establishment of Collection Account; Deposit in
Collection Account. With respect to all of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer
shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage
Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall
establish and maintain one or more Collection Accounts for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (collectively, the "Collection Account") which are Eligible
Accounts, in the form of a trust account, in the name of "Citibank, N.A., as
Trustee, in trust for and for the benefit of the Certificateholders of
Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Chase Mortgage Finance
Corporation, Series 1999-S8 - Collection
59
Account." Such Collection Account shall be established with a commercial bank, a
savings bank or a savings and loan association. The Servicer may invest, or
cause the institution maintaining the Collection Account to invest, moneys in
the Collection Account in Eligible Investments, which shall mature not later
than the Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date next following the
date of such investment and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its
maturity. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the
benefit of the Servicer as additional compensation and shall be subject to its
withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in
respect of any such investments (to the extent not offset by income from other
such investments) shall be deposited in the Collection Account by the Servicer
out of its own funds immediately as realized; provided, however, that if the
Trustee becomes Servicer, the Trustee shall not be required to deposit the
amount of any loss incurred prior to it becoming Servicer.
The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the
Collection Account on a daily basis (and not later than the second Business Day
following receipt), and retain therein:
(i) All payments which were received after the Cut-off Date on
account of principal of the Mortgage Loans (other than the principal
portion of Monthly Payments due on or before the Cut-off Date), and all
Principal Prepayments collected on or after the Cut-off Date;
(ii) All payments which were received after the Cut-off Date
on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans (net of the Servicing
Fee)(other than the interest portion of Monthly Payments due on or
before the Cut-off Date);
(iii) Net Liquidation Proceeds;
(iv) All Insurance Proceeds received by the Servicer under any
title, hazard or other insurance policy, including amounts required to
be deposited pursuant to Sections 5.16 and 5.20, other than proceeds to
be held in the Escrow Account or applied to the restoration or repair
of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance
with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures or otherwise applied or
held as required by applicable law;
(v) All awards or settlements in respect of condemnation
proceedings affecting any Mortgaged Property which are not released to
the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing
procedures;
(vi) All Repurchase Proceeds;
(vii) All Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section
6.03;
(viii) All amounts representing revenues under the insurance
provided pursuant to Section 5.19 to the extent of any losses borne by
any Certificateholder;
60
(ix) All revenues from any Mortgaged Property acquired by the
Servicer by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure net of any Servicing
Advances with respect to such Mortgaged Property; and
(x) Any other amounts required to be deposited therein
pursuant to this Agreement.
The Servicer shall maintain accounting records on a Mortgage
Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis with respect to the Collection Account. The Servicer
shall give notice to the Trustee and the Depositor and each Rating Agency of any
change in the location of the Collection Account, prior to the use thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Monthly Payment or any
portion thereof shall be permitted to remain in the Collection Account for more
than 12 months. Any Monthly Payment or any portion thereof that has remained in
the Collection Account for 12 months shall be deemed a Principal Prepayment and
distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement
on the Distribution Date immediately following the end of such 12 month period.
Section 5.09. Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Account. The
Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Collection
Account for the following purposes:
(i) to reimburse itself for Advances made pursuant to Section
6.03 (including amounts to reimburse the related Sub-Servicer for advances made
pursuant to the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement), the Servicer's and the
Sub-Servicer's right to receive reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (i)
being limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loans which represent
Late Collections (net of the Servicing Fees) with respect to those particular
Mortgage Loans;
(ii) to pay itself the Servicing Fee;
(iii) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances,
or to pay the related Sub-Servicer any unreimbursed Servicing Advances,
the Servicer's right to receive reimbursement or make payments to the
Sub-Servicer pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any
Mortgage Loan being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds, and condemnation awards;
(iv) to reimburse itself (or the related Sub-Servicer) or the
Depositor for expenses incurred by and recoverable by or reimbursable
to it pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.16;
(v) to reimburse itself (or the related Sub-Servicer) for any
Nonrecoverable Advances;
(vi) to pay to itself (or the related Sub-Servicer) income
earned on the investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account;
(vii) to make deposits into the Certificate Account in the
amounts and in the manner provided for herein;
(viii) to make payments to itself or others pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, and to clear and terminate the Collection
Account upon the termination of this Agreement; and
(ix) to withdraw amounts deposited in error.
Section 5.10. Establishment of Escrow Account; Deposits in
Escrow Account. With respect to those Mortgage Loans on which the Servicer or
any Sub-Servicer collects Escrow Payments, if any, the Servicer shall, and shall
cause the Sub-Servicer to, segregate and hold all funds collected and received
pursuant to each such Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate
and apart from
61
any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or
more Escrow Accounts, in the form of trust accounts. Such Escrow Accounts shall
be established with a commercial bank, a mutual savings bank or a savings and
loan association the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC in a manner which
shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder, and which may be drawn on
by the Servicer. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee of the location
of any Escrow Account, and of any change thereof, prior to the use thereof.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to require the Servicer to collect
Escrow Payments in the absence of a provision in the related Mortgage requiring
such collection.
The Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in any
Escrow Account or Accounts on a daily basis, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow
Payments collected on account of any Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of
effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this
Agreement and (ii) all amounts representing proceeds of any hazard insurance
policy which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged
Property. The Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such
payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as
are set forth in Section 5.11. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any
interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository
institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to
the related Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the Servicer shall pay
interest on escrowed funds to the related Mortgagor notwithstanding that the
Escrow Account is non-interest-bearing or that interest paid thereon is
insufficient for such purposes.
Section 5.11. Permitted Withdrawals from Escrow Account.
Withdrawals from any Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the Servicer only
(i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates,
Standard Hazard Policy premiums, or other items constituting Escrow Payments for
the related Mortgage, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advance
made by the Servicer, with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from
amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or
collections of Escrow Payments thereunder, (iii) to refund to any Mortgagor any
funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the
related Mortgage Loan or under applicable law, (iv) for application to
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage, (v) to
pay to the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any
interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, (vi) to clear and
terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement or (vii) to
withdraw amounts deposited in error.
Section 5.12. Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained, accurate records reflecting any delinquencies or nonpayments with
regard to taxes, assessments and Standard Hazard Policy premiums. The Servicer
assumes full responsibility for ensuring the payment of all such bills and shall
effect payments of all such bills irrespective of each Mortgagor's faithful
performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and
shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
Section 5.13. Transfer of Accounts. The Servicer may transfer
the Collection Account or Escrow Account to an Eligible Account maintained with
a different depository institution from time to time.
Section 5.14. [Reserved].
62
Section 5.15. Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies.
The Servicer shall not take, or permit any Sub-Servicer to take, any action
which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy
of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer or Sub-Servicer, would
have been covered thereunder. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, to
the extent coverage is available and until the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the
related Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%, the Servicer shall keep or cause to be
kept in full force and effect each such Primary Insurance Policy in an amount
equal to the amount by which the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan exceeds 75% of the value (as described in the definition of
Loan-to-Value Ratio) of the related Mortgaged Property. The Servicer shall not
cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy or consent to any
Sub-Servicer canceling or refusing to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy
applicable to a Mortgage Loan subserviced by it, that is in effect at the date
of the initial issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force
hereunder unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or
non-renewed policy is maintained with an insurer whose claims-paying ability is
rated at least as high as the original insurer or is acceptable to each Rating
Agency as confirmed in writing by each such Rating Agency, unless otherwise
required by law.
Section 5.16. Maintenance of Standard Hazard Policies. (a) The
Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan a Standard Hazard
Policy with extended coverage as is prudent in the area where the Mortgaged
Property is located in an amount which is equal to the greater of (i) the lesser
of (A) 100% of the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such
Mortgage Loan or (B) the principal balance owing on such Mortgage Loan, or (ii)
such amount required to prevent the Mortgagor or mortgagee from becoming a
co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified at the time of
origination in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made
available) 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 outstanding Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the full insurable value or (iii) the maximum
amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973. The Servicer shall also maintain on property acquired upon foreclosure,
or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan, fire and hazard
insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is not less than the lesser
of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or (ii) the
maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property,
liability insurance, and, to the extent available, flood insurance in an amount
as provided above. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies
(other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property
subject to the related Mortgage or property acquired in liquidation of the
Mortgage Loan, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's
normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited, subject to applicable law, in
the Collection Account. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance need be required by the Servicer of any Mortgagor or
maintained on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan, other than
pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in
force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such Standard Hazard
Policies and other policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses
with loss payable to the Servicer or its designee. Any such Standard Hazard
Policies or other policies may be in the form of blanket policies; provided,
however, that in the event of any claim arising in connection with a hazard loss
the Servicer shall be obligated, in the case of blanket insurance policies, to
deposit in the Collection Account any amount not payable under such blanket
policy because of a deductible clause in such policy and not otherwise payable
under an individual policy. The Servicer shall not interfere with the
Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his insurance carrier or
agent; provided, however, that
63
the Servicer shall not accept any such insurance policies from insurance
companies unless such companies are acceptable insurers in the discretion of the
Servicer.
(b) Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any of
the foregoing insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the
Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit.
Such costs (other than the costs of maintaining a blanket hazard insurance
policy not attributable to a specific Mortgaged Property) shall be recoverable
by the Servicer from the Mortgagor or out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation
Proceeds or to the extent permitted by Section 5.09.
Section 5.17. [Reserved].
Section 5.18. [Reserved]
Section 5.19. Fidelity Bond and Errors and OmissioNS
Insurance. The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity
bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with
responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting on
behalf of the Servicer in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to
handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. Any
such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure
the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud,
errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons and shall be maintained
at a level acceptable to FNMA. No provision of this Section 5.19 requiring such
fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the
Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. Upon
request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee
a certification evidencing coverage under such fidelity bond and insurance
policy. Promptly upon receipt of any notice from the surety or the insurer that
such fidelity bond or insurance policy has been terminated or modified in a
materially adverse manner, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee and each Rating
Agency of any such termination or modification.
Section 5.20. Collections Under Insurance Policies;
Enforcement of Due-on-sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. (a) In connection
with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the
Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Standard Hazard Policies
and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to
permit recovery under any insurance policies. Pursuant to Section 5.08, the
Servicer shall deposit Insurance Proceeds in the Collection Account.
(b) When any Mortgaged Property is conveyed by the Mortgagor,
the Servicer shall enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note
or Mortgage, to the extent permitted by such Mortgage Note or Mortgage,
applicable law and governmental regulations. 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. 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.
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 Mortgage
64
Loan by operation of law which the Servicer in good faith determines it may be
restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
(c) Subject to the Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale
clause to the effect set forth in Section 5.20(b), in any case in which a
Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person
is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement
to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage, the Servicer shall so notify the Trustee 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, modification agreement or substitution
agreement, the interest rate of the related Mortgage Note shall not be changed,
the principal amount of the Mortgage Note shall not be increased or decreased
and the maturity of the Mortgage Note shall not be extended, nor shall it be
shortened by more than one year. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering
into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement with respect to such
Mortgage Loan shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing
compensation.
Section 5.21. Income and Realization From Defaulted Mortgage
Loans. The Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such of the
Mortgage Loans 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 5.07, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate such
Mortgaged Properties for the purposes of their prompt disposition and sale, and
shall dispose of such Mortgaged Properties on such terms and conditions as it
deems in the best interests of the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall sell
such property prior to the close of the third calendar year beginning after the
year in which such foreclosure or conversion occurs or such longer period as
would not prevent such Mortgaged Property from constituting "foreclosure
property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code. In connection
with such activities, the Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as
it shall deem necessary or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its
general mortgage servicing activities, including its management of foreclosed
properties for a temporary period as contemplated herein. The foregoing is
subject to the provisions of Section 5.28 of this Agreement and to the proviso
that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection
with any management, foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property
unless it shall determine that such management, restoration or foreclosure will
increase the Liquidation Proceeds of the Mortgage Loan to Certificateholders
after reimbursement to itself for such expenses (respecting which it shall have
priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 5.09). The Servicer shall be permitted to earn income with respect to
any Mortgaged Properties, provided such income does not constitute "net income
from foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(c) of the Code.
The income earned from the management of such Mortgaged Properties, net of
reimbursement to the Servicer for expenses (including any taxes) incurred in
connection with such management, shall be applied to the payment of principal of
and interest on the related defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing and
principal amortizing as though such Mortgage Loans were still current) and all
such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in this Agreement, to be payments
on account of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be
deposited into the Collection Account. To the extent the income received is in
excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest
at the Net Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan, such excess shall be
deposited in the Collection Account.
65
The Servicer shall take into account the existence of any
hazardous substances, hazardous wastes or solid wastes, as such terms are
defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability
Act, the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, or other federal,
state or local environmental legislation, on a Mortgaged Property in determining
whether to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of such
property. To the extent that the Servicer has actual knowledge of any such
substance or waste, it shall consult with the Trustee regarding the appropriate
course of action. The Servicer shall not institute foreclosure actions with
respect to a property containing substance or waste as described above if it
reasonably believes that such action would not be consistent with its servicing
standards, and in no event shall the Servicer manage, operate or take any other
action with respect thereto which the Servicer in good faith believes will
result in "clean-up" or other liability under applicable law. The net income
from the rental or sale of a REO Property shall be deposited in the Collection
Account within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof by the Servicer.
The Servicer may enter into a special servicing agreement with
an unaffiliated holder of 100% Percentage Interest of a Class B Certificate or a
holder of a class of securities representing interests in such Class B
Certificate and/or other subordinate mortgage pass-through certificates, such
agreement to be (i) substantially in the form of Exhibit J 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 xxxx 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 Mortgage Loans and will 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 5.22. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or upon the
receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be made in a
manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer shall immediately notify the
Trustee (if the Trustee holds the related Mortgage File) by a certification
(which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts
received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to
be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.08 have been or
will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of
the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, within five
Business Days the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to the
Servicer and execute and deliver to the Servicer the request for reconveyance,
deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such other
instruments releasing the lien of the Mortgage as have been provided by the
Servicer to the Trustee, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence
of cancellation thereon, and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility
with respect to said Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, or the
receipt of such notification, the Servicer is authorized to procure from the
Trustee under the deed of trust which secured the Mortgage Note, if any, a deed
of full reconveyance covering the property encumbered by such deed of trust,
which assignment of deed of trust, except as otherwise provided by any
applicable law, shall be recorded by the Servicer in the appropriate land
records in the jurisdiction in which the assignment of deed of trust is
recorded, or, as the case may be, to procure from the Trustee an instrument of
satisfaction or, if the Mortgagor so requests, an assignment without recourse,
which deed of reconveyance, instrument of satisfaction or assignment shall be
delivered by the Servicer to the Person or Persons entitled thereto. No expenses
incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of
reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account or to the Trustee.
66
(b) From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a
certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that possession of the Mortgage
File be released to the Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such
release and that such release will not invalidate any insurance coverage
provided in respect of the Mortgage Loan under any of the insurance policies
required by this Agreement. With such certificate, the Servicer shall require
that the Trustee release the Mortgage File, and, within five Business Days, the

The Servicer shall cause each Mortgage File so released to be returned to the
Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the
Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Net Liquidation Proceeds relating to
the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection Account or (ii) the
Mortgage File has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other
public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal
action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either
judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the Trustee a
certificate of a Servicing Officer in the form of Exhibit L hereto certifying as
to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File was delivered
and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.
(c) Upon written request of the Servicer, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver to the Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee's
sale or other documents prepared by and delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee
necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged
Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor
on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to
enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage
or otherwise available at law or in equity. Together with such documents or
pleadings, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of a
Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the
Trustee and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required
and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate
any insurance coverage under the insurance policies required under this
Agreement or invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for
the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's
sale.

as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be entitled to receive, on

Fee and as reimbursement for Nonrecoverable Advances, Servicing Advances and
reimbursement for Advances, all as specified by Section 5.09. The amount of
compensation or reimbursement provided for shall be accounted for on a Mortgage
Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees, prepayment fees and late payment charges shall be retained by the
Servicer, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Servicer shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any
Sub-Servicer) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as
specifically provided in Sections 5.09 and 5.21.
Section 5.24. 1934 Act Reports. (a) The Paying Agent shall, on

(b) Within 30 days after the beginning of the first fiscal
year during which the Trust's obligation to file Periodic Reports pursuant to
the Exchange Act shall have been suspended, the Depositor may prepare, or cause
to be prepared, a notice on Commission Form 15 ("Form 15") and is hereby
authorized to and shall execute such Form 15 on the Trust's behalf; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Depositor shall be under no obligation to prepare such notice
if the number of Certificateholders exceeds 300. The Depositor shall file any
notice on Form 15 with the Commission in accordance with the provisions of Rule
15d-6 under the Exchange Act.
Section 5.25. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Servicer will deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee on
or before April 15 of each year, beginning with April 15 in the year which

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, (ii) to the
best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has
fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if
there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying
each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and
(iii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, each Sub-Servicer has fulfilled
its obligations under its Sub-Servicing Agreement in all material respects, or
if there has been a material default in the fulfillment of such obligations,
specifying such default known to such officers and the nature and status
thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided to each Rating Agency by the
Servicer. Copies of such statement shall also be provided by the Servicer to any
Certificateholder upon request. If the Servicer shall fail to provide such
copies and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee is aware that the Servicer has
not so provided copies, the Trustee shall provide such copies at the Servicer's
expense if the Trustee has received such statement.
Section 5.26. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Report. On or before April 15 of each year, beginning with April 15 in the year
which begins not less than three months after the Closing Date, the Servicer at
its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a
member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a
statement to the Depositor and the Trustee to the effect that such firm has
examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Mortgage
Loans and that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in
compliance with the Uniform Single Audit Program for Mortgage Bankers, such
servicing has been conducted in compliance with the manner of servicing set
forth in pooling and servicing 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. Copies of such statement shall be provided to each Rating Agency,
and, upon request, to the Certificateholders, by the Servicer, or by the Trustee
at the Servicer's expense if the Trustee has received such statement and the
Servicer shall fail to provide such copies and the Trustee is aware that the
Servicer has not so provided copies.
Section 5.27. Access to Certain Documentation; Rights of the
Depositor in Respect of the Servicer. The Servicer shall provide access to the
Trustee, Certificateholders which are savings and loan associations, banks or
insurance companies or examiners of any federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans if so
required by applicable
68
regulations of any regulatory authority, such access to be afforded subject to
reimbursement for expenses without charge but only upon reasonable request and
during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it.
The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the
Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, appoint and
cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligations of the Servicer hereunder
or exercise the rights of the Servicer hereunder; provided that the Servicer
shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of the
appointment of a designee by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall
not assume any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to take
action by the Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the
Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section 5.28. REMIC-Related Covenants. For as long as the
Trust Fund shall exist, the Servicer and the Trustee shall act in accordance
herewith to assure continuing treatment of each REMIC Pool as a REMIC. In
particular:
(a) The Servicer shall not create, or permit the creation of,
any "interests" in each REMIC Pool within the meaning of Section 860G(a) of the
Code other than the "regular interests" in each REMIC Pool designated as such in
Section 2.04(a) and the Residual Interest;
(b) As of all times as may be required by the Code, the
Servicer will ensure that substantially all of the assets of each REMIC Pool
will consist of "qualified mortgages" as defined in section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code and "permitted investments" as defined in section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
The Servicer and the Trustee, upon the direction of the Servicer, also will
maintain records that are sufficient to indicate each REMIC Pool's compliance
with applicable requirements of the Code (and applicable Proposed, Temporary or
final Treasury regulations) relating to the assets held by such REMIC Pool.
Further, the Servicer shall not permit and the Trustee shall not accept the
transfer or substitution of any Mortgage Loan other than pursuant to Section
3.03, 5.01 or 5.21 of this Agreement, and the Servicer shall, in any case, not
permit substitution later than two years from the Closing Date unless the
Servicer and the Trustee have received an Opinion of Counsel, which will not be
an expense of the Trust Fund, that such transfer or substitution would not
adversely affect the REMIC status of either REMIC Pool or would not otherwise be
prohibited by this Agreement;
(c) The Servicer shall ensure that neither REMIC Pool receives
a fee or other compensation for services and that neither REMIC Pool receives
any income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" within the meaning of
section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" within the meaning of
section 860G(a)(5) of the Code, and shall take whatever action it deems
necessary to avoid any material tax imposed by the Code on either REMIC Pool;
(d) The Trustee shall not sell or permit the sale of all or
any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any Eligible Investment unless such sale
is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement
or the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel, which will not be an expense
of the Trust Fund or the Trustee, to the effect that such sale (i) is pursuant
to a "qualified liquidation" as defined in section 860F(a)(4) of the Code and as
described in Section 11.01 hereof, or (ii) would not be treated as a "prohibited
transaction" within the meaning of section 860F(a)(2) of the Code that results
in the realization of a material amount of gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes;
(e) The Trustee shall not accept any contribution to either
REMIC Pool after the Startup Day without an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not
be an expense of the Trustee) that such
69
contribution is included within the exceptions provided in Section 860G(d)(2) of
the Code and, therefore, will not be subject to the tax imposed by Section
860G(d)(1) of the Code; and
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, the Servicer and the Trustee, at the direction of the Servicer, shall
take any other action or refuse to take any action otherwise required (including
adjusting the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan) where the Servicer deems
such action or inaction reasonably necessary to ensure the REMIC status of
either REMIC Pool under the Code and applicable regulations or to avoid the
imposition of any material tax liability on either REMIC Pool that will affect
amounts distributable to the Certificateholders.
(g) In the event that any applicable federal, state or local
tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or
additions to tax, is imposed on either REMIC Pool, such tax shall be treated in
the same manner as a Realized Loss and shall be charged against amounts
otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Certificates, except as provided
in the last sentence of this Section 5.28 (g). The Trustee or, if a Paying Agent
has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent shall withdraw from the
Collection Account sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to
actually pay, such tax as is estimated to be legally owed by (but such
authorization shall not prevent the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent from contesting, at the expense
of the Trust Fund (other than as a consequence of a breach of its obligations
under this Agreement), any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding
payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such
proceedings). The Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section
4.05, the Paying Agent is hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into a
separate non-interest bearing account, the net income from any "prohibited
transaction" under Code Section 860F(a), the amount of any taxable contribution
to the Trust Fund after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Code
Section 860G(d), and 35% of any estimated "net income from foreclosure property"
under Section 860G(c) and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to
pay such tax. To the extent that any such tax is paid to the Internal Revenue
Service or applicable state or local tax authorities, the Trustee or a Paying
Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent shall retain an
equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the
Class A-R Certificate and shall distribute such retained amounts to the Holders
of the other Classes of Certificates, to the extent they remain outstanding,
until they are fully reimbursed for any amount of such taxes previously charged
to the then Holder of the Class R Certificate. Neither the Trustee nor the
Servicer shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on either REMIC Pool except
to the extent such taxes arise as a consequence of a breach of their respective
obligations under this Agreement.
Section 5.29. Maintenance of the Rounding Account; Collections
Thereunder. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish the
Rounding Account and Xxxxxx Brothers Inc. shall deposit $999.99 therein. The
Servicer shall maintain such account to provide, if needed, the applicable
Rounding Amount on any Distribution Date. On the first Distribution Date with
respect to which the Servicer determines that amounts are available out of the
Available Distribution Amount for distributions of principal on the Class A-9
Certificates, and the aggregate amount allocable to such distributions of
principal is not an amount equal to an integral multiple of $1,000, the Servicer
shall withdraw from the Rounding Account the applicable Rounding Amount. On each
succeeding Distribution Date, prior to the Credit Support Depletion Date, with
respect to which the Servicer determines that amounts are available out of the
Available Distribution Amount for distributions of principal on the Class A-9
Certificates, the aggregate amount allocable to each such Class will be applied
first to replenish any funds withdrawn from the Rounding Account on prior
Distribution Dates which have not been repaid. If
70
the remainder of the aggregate amount allocable to distributions of principal on
each such Class is not an amount equal to an integral multiple of $1,000, the
Servicer shall withdraw from the Rounding Account, to the extent funds are
available therein, the applicable Rounding Amount.
Any amounts withdrawn by the Servicer from the Rounding Account shall
be deposited in the Certificate Account for distribution to the Holders of Class
A-9 Certificates as described in the immediately preceding paragraph. Funds held
in the Certificate Account shall be invested as described in Section 4.05.
On or promptly after the Credit Support Depletion Date, the Servicer
shall be entitled to withdraw and pay to itself as additional compensation any
remaining amounts on deposit in the Rounding Account.
Section 5.30. Maintenance of the Class A-10 Interest
Supplement Account. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall cause to
be established and maintained the Class A-10 Interest Supplement Account into
which an amount equal to $17,500 shall be deposited on the Closing Date to pay
the Class A-10 Interest Supplement Amount. For each of the first twenty-four
Distribution Dates, the Servicer shall calculate the Class A-10 Interest
Supplement Amount. On each such Distribution Date, the Servicer shall then
withdraw from the Class A-10 Interest Supplement Account, to the extent funds
are available therein, the Class A-10 Interest Supplement Amount and deposit
such amount in the Certificate Account for payment to the Class A-10
Certificateholders. After the twenty-fourth Distribution Date, the Servicer
shall withdraw from the Class A-10 Interest Supplement Account and pay to the
Class A-R Certificateholder any amount then remaining therein.
Amounts on deposit in the Class A-10 Interest Supplement Account shall
not be invested and shall not be held in an interest-bearing account.

Certificates in accordance with Section 6.01(e) plus (D) any Carry-over
Subordinated Principal Amounts with respect to the Class B-5 Certificates plus
(E) any portion of the Subordinated Optimal Principal Amount allocated to the
Class B-4 Certificates in excess of the Outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of such Class.
(e) On each Distribution Date, the Subordinated Optimal
Principal Amount shall be allocated among the Classes of Subordinated
Certificates entitled, pursuant to the next succeeding sentence, to an
allocation of principal on such Distribution Date, pro rata based upon the
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balances of all such Classes so entitled. With
respect to the Subordinated Certificates, on each Distribution Date, principal
shall be distributable to (1) any Class of Subordinated Certificates which has
current Credit Support (before giving effect to any distribution of principal
and any Realized Losses allocable on such Distribution Date) greater than or
equal to the Original Credit Support for such Class; (2) the Class having the
lowest numerical class designation of any outstanding Class of Subordinated
Certificates which does not meet the criteria in (1) above; and (3) the Class
B-5 Certificates if all other outstanding Classes of Subordinated Certificates
meet the criteria in (1) above or if no other Class of Subordinated Certificates
is outstanding; provided, however, that no Class of Subordinated Certificates
shall receive any distributions of principal if any Class of Subordinated
Certificates having a lower numerical class designation than such Class fails to
meet the criteria in (1) above. For purposes of this paragraph, the Class M
Certificates shall be deemed to have a lower numerical class designation than
each Class of Class B Certificates.
(f) The Servicer shall make all calculations necessary to make
the distributions described in this Section 6.01. All distributions made to
Certificateholders of any Class on each Distribution Date will be made to the
Certificateholders of the respective Class of record on the next preceding
Record Date, except that the final distribution with respect to each Class shall
be made as provided in the forms of Certificates. All distributions made to
Certificateholders shall be based on the Percentage Interest of the Class
represented by their respective Certificates, and shall be made either by
transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank
or other financial or depository institution having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Holder has so notified the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has
been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, in writing at least 10
Business Days prior to the first Distribution Date for which distribution by
wire transfer is to be made and such
77
Holder's Certificates of such Class in the aggregate evidence an original
denomination of not less than $5,000,000 or such Holder holds a 100% Percentage
Interest of such Class or, if not, by check mailed to the address of the Person
entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register, except that the
final distribution in retirement of the Certificates will be made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office specified in the
final Distribution Notice. If on any Determination Date, the Servicer determines
that there are no Mortgage Loans outstanding and no other funds or assets in the
Trust Fund other than the funds in the Certificate Account, the Trustee or if a
Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent shall
promptly send the final distribution notice to each Certificateholder specifying
the manner in which the final distribution will be made.
Section 6.02. Statements to the Certificateholders. (a) Not
later than the second Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer
shall send to the Paying Agent and the Trustee the relevant information for
purposes of this Section 6.02. Not later than each Distribution Date, the Paying
Agent shall send to each Certificateholder, the Depositor, the Trustee (if other
than the Paying Agent), the Servicer, any co-trustee, and each Rating Agency a
statement setting forth the following information, after giving effect to the
distributions to be made by the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 6.01 on or as
of such Distribution Date:
(i) with respect to each Class and Component of Certificates
the amount of such distribution to Holders of such Class allocable to
principal;
(ii) with respect to each Class and Component of Certificates
the amount of such distribution to Holders of such Class allocable to
interest;
(iii) the aggregate amount of any Principal Prepayments and
Repurchase Proceeds included in the distributions to
Certificateholders;
(iv) the aggregate amount of any Advances by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 6.03;
(v) the number of Outstanding Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage
Pool Principal Balance as of the close of business as of the end of the
related Principal Prepayment Period;
(vi) the related amount of the Servicing Fees (as adjusted
pursuant to Section 6.05) retained or withdrawn from the Collection
Account by the Servicer;
(vii) the number and aggregate principal amounts of Mortgage
Loans (A) delinquent (1) one Monthly Payment, (2) two Monthly Payments
and (3) three or more Monthly Payments and (B) in foreclosure, in each
case, as of the end of the related Principal Prepayment Period;
(viii) the number and the principal balance of Mortgage Loans
with respect to any real estate acquired through foreclosure or grant
of a deed in lieu of foreclosure;
(ix) the aggregate amount of all Advances recovered during the
related Due Period;
(x) with respect to the following Distribution Date, the Class
A Percentage, the Class M Percentage, the Class B Percentage, the Class
A Principal Balance, the Class M Principal Balance, the Class B
Principal Balance, the Non-PO Class A Percentage, the Non-PO Class A
78
Prepayment Percentage, and the level of Credit Support, if any, with
respect to each class of Subordinated Certificates;
(xi) the aggregate amount of Realized Losses during the
related Due Period and the aggregate amount of Realized Losses since
the Cut-off Date;
(xii) the allocation to each Class and Component of
Certificates of any Realized Losses during the related Due Period;
(xiii) the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of each
Class and Component of Certificates after giving effect to the
distributions to each Class on such Distribution Date; and
(xiv) the amount of any Compensating Interest Shortfalls on
such Distribution Date.
The Paying Agent's responsibility for sending the above
information to the Certificateholders is limited to the availability, timeliness
and accuracy of the information derived from the Servicer.
Upon reasonable advance notice in writing if required by
federal regulation, the Servicer will provide to each Certificateholder which is
a savings and loan association, bank or insurance company certain reports and
access during business hours to information and documentation regarding the
Mortgage Loans sufficient to permit such Certificateholder to comply with
applicable regulations of regulatory authorities with respect to investment in
the Certificates; provided, that the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
by each such Certificateholder for the Servicer's actual expenses incurred in
providing such reports and access.
(b) The Servicer shall cause to be prepared, and the Servicer
or the Trustee, as required by applicable law, shall file, any and all tax
returns, information statements or other filings required to be delivered to
Certificateholders and any governmental taxing authority pursuant to any
applicable law with respect to the Trust Fund and the transactions contemplated
hereby (the Servicer or the Trustee may, at its option but with the consent of
the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, appoint an
organization which regularly engages in the preparation and filing of such
documents on a continuous basis for profit and which represents itself to be
expert in such matters) and the Servicer shall maintain a record of the
information necessary for the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code and
shall make such information available as required by Section 860D(a)(6) of the
Code; provided, however, that the Servicer shall notify the Trustee of the
Trustee's obligation to make any such filings and that any fees of the
organization appointed as provided above shall be paid by the Servicer; and
provided further that if an organization is employed, as described above, to
prepare and file any such filings, neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall be
liable for any errors by such organization.
Section 6.03. Advances by the Servicer. If, on any
Determination Date, the Servicer determines that any Monthly Payments due on the
immediately preceding Due Date have not been received, the Servicer shall,
unless it determines in its sole discretion that such amounts will not be
recoverable from Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise, make an
Advance on or before the related Distribution Date in an amount equal to the
amount of such delinquent Monthly Payments, after adjustment of any delinquent
interest payment for the Servicing Fee. For purposes of this Section 6.03, the
delinquent Monthly Payments referred to in the preceding sentence shall be
deemed to include an
79
amount equal to the Monthly Payments that would have been due on Mortgage Loans
which have been foreclosed or otherwise terminated and in connection with which
the Servicer acquired and continues to own the Mortgaged Properties on behalf of
the Certificateholders. If the Servicer makes an Advance, it shall on or prior
to such Distribution Date either (i) deposit in the Collection Account an amount
equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records
of the Collection Account that funds in such account being held for future
distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 6.03, used by
the Servicer to make such Advance or (iii) make Advances in the form of any
combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any
funds being held in the Collection Account for future distribution to
Certificateholders and so used pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above shall be
replaced by the Servicer from its own funds by deposit into the Collection
Account on or before any subsequent Distribution Date to the extent that funds
in the Collection Account on such Distribution Date shall be less than the
amount of payments required to be made to Certificateholders on such
Distribution Date. Any such Advance shall be included with the distribution to
the Certificateholders on the related Distribution Date. If the Servicer
determines not to make a Nonrecoverable Advance, it shall on the related
Determination Date furnish to the Trustee, any co-trustee, and each Rating
Agency notice of such determination. The Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed from the Collection Account for all Advances and Nonrecoverable
Advances as provided in Section 5.09.
Section 6.04. Allocation of Realized Losses. (a) Prior to each
Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine (i) the total amount of
Realized Losses, if any, incurred during the related Principal Prepayment
Period; (ii) whether and to what extent such Realized Losses constitute Excess
Losses; and (iii) the respective portions of such Realized Losses allocable to
interest and to principal.
(b) The principal portion of any Realized Losses other than
Excess Losses shall be allocated as follows: first, to the Class B-5
Certificates until the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
B-5 Certificates has been reduced to zero; second, to the Class B-4 Certificates
until the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-4
Certificates has been reduced to zero; third, to Class B-3 Certificates until
the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-3 Certificates has
been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class B-2 Certificates until the
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-2 Certificates has been
reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class B-1 Certificates until the Outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-1 Certificates has been reduced to
zero; sixth, to the Class M Certificates until the Outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class M Certificates has been reduced to zero; and
seventh, to the Non-PO Class A Certificates on a pro rata basis until the
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Non-PO Class A Certificates has
been reduced to zero; provided, however, that if a Realized Loss occurs with
respect to a Discount Mortgage Loan (A) the amount of such Realized Loss equal
to the product of (i) the amount of such Realized Loss and (ii) the PO
Percentage with respect to such Discount Mortgage Loan will be allocated to
Class A-P Certificates and (B) the remainder of such Realized Loss will be
allocated as described above. The principal portion of any Excess Losses shall
be allocated among all Classes of Certificates on a pro rata basis; provided,
however, that the applicable PO Percentage of any Excess Losses on the Discount
Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to Class A-P Certificates.
(c) As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a "pro
rata basis" among two or more specified Classes means an allocation on a pro
rata basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class on the
basis of their Outstanding Certificate Principal Balances (or, in the case of
the Class A-7 and Class A-13 Certificates, the lesser of (i) the Original
Certificate Principal
80
Balance of such Certificates and (ii) the Outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of such Certificates) prior to giving effect to distributions to be made
on such Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to
a Class of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of
such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
(d) In the event that a recovery is made with respect to any
Realized Loss, the amount of such recovery shall be distributed on the next
Distribution Date first to the Class A Certificateholders, up to the amount to
which such Realized Loss was allocated to the Class A Certificateholders; second
to the Class M Certificateholders, up to the amount to which such Realized Loss
was allocated to the Class M Certificateholders; third to the Class B-1
Certificateholders, up to the amount to which such Realized Loss was allocated
to the Class B-1 Certificateholders; fourth to the Class B-2 Certificateholders,
up to the amount to which such Realized Loss was allocated to the Class B-2
Certificateholders; fifth to the Class B-3 Certificateholders, up to the amount
to which such Realized Loss was allocated to the Class B-3 Certificateholders;
sixth to the Class B-4 Certificateholders, up to the amount to which such
Realized Loss was allocated to the Class B-4 Certificateholders; and seventh to
the Class B-5 Certificateholders, up to the amount to which such Realized Loss
was allocated to the Class B-5 Certificateholders.
Section 6.05. Compensating Interest; Allocation of Certain
Interest Shortfalls.
(a) Upon a Principal Prepayment of a Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds, as a
reduction of its servicing compensation hereunder, an amount, if any, by which
the amount of the interest that would otherwise accrue with respect to such
Mortgage Loan from the date of prepayment to the Due Date in the related Due
Period at the Net Mortgage Rate exceeds the amount of the interest (adjusted to
the Net Mortgage Rate) collected from the Mortgagor with respect to such period
(such amount, "Compensating Interest"); provided, however, that with respect to
any Distribution Date, the Servicer's obligation to deposit any such amount is
limited to an amount equal to the product of (i) one-twelfth of 0.125% and (ii)
the aggregate Scheduled Balance of the Mortgage loans with respect to such
Distribution Date.
(b) On any Distribution Date, the excess, if any, of (X)
Compensating Interest with respect to such Distribution Date over (Y) the amount
deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to (a) above for such Distribution
Date shall equal the "Compensating Interest Shortfall" with respect to such
Distribution Date. On any Distribution Date, the Compensating Interest Shortfall
shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Classes of Class A, Class M
and Class B Certificates based on the amount of interest to which each such
Class would otherwise be paid on such Distribution Date had there been no such
Compensating Interest Shortfall.
(c) On any Distribution Date, the interest portion of any
Realized Losses ("Realized Loss Interest Shortfall") other than the interest
portion of Excess Losses shall be allocated to the Class of Subordinated
Certificates then outstanding having the highest numerical class designation
(for this purpose, the Class M Certificates shall be deemed to have a lower
numerical class designation than each Class of Class B Certificates) or, if no
Class of Subordinated Certificates is then outstanding, to the Non-PO Class A
Certificates pro rata among the outstanding Classes of Non-PO Class A
Certificates based on the amount of interest to which each such Class would
otherwise be paid on such Distribution Date had there been no such Realized Loss
Interest Shortfall. On any Distribution Date, the interest portion of any Excess
Losses shall be allocated among all Classes or Components of Certificates pro
rata based upon the amount of interest to which each such Class or Component
would otherwise be paid on such Distribution Date had there been no such Excess
Losses allocable to interest.
81
Section 6.06. Subordination. The rights of the Class B
Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Class B
Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be subordinated to the rights of the
Class A and Class M Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of
the Class A and Class M Certificates. The rights of the Class M
Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Class M
Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be subordinated to the rights of the
Class A Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Class A
Certificates. The rights of the Class B-1 Certificateholders to receive
distributions in respect of the Class B-1 Certificates on any Distribution Date
shall be subordinate to the rights of the Class A and Class M Certificateholders
to receive distributions in respect of such Class A and Class M Certificates.
Each Class of Class B Certificates (other than the Class B-1 Certificates) is
subordinated to the Class A Certificates, the Class M Certificates and each
Class of Class B Certificates having a lower numerical class designation than
such Class of Class B Certificates. The rights of the Servicer, as servicer, to
receive funds from the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 5.09, on account
of the Servicing Fee (except as provided in Section 6.05) in respect of each
Mortgage Loan, assumption fees, late payment charges and other mortgagor
charges, reimbursement of Advances and expenses or otherwise, shall not be
subordinated to the rights of the Class A, Class M or Class B
Certificateholders. Amounts held by the Servicer or the Trustee for future
distribution to the Class M or Class B Certificateholders, including, without
limitation, in the Collection Account, shall not be distributed in respect of
the Class M or Class B Certificates except in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. The Class B Certificateholders are deemed to have granted a security
interest in such amounts to the Class A and Class M Certificateholders to secure
the rights of the Class A and Class M Certificateholders to receive
distributions in priority over the Class B Certificateholders. The Class M
Certificateholders are deemed to have granted a security interest in such
amounts to the Class A Certificateholders to secure the rights of the Class A
Certificateholders to receive distributions in priority over the Class A
Certificateholders.
Section 6.07. Principal Distributions on the Class A-9
Certificates. (a) Prior to the Credit Support Depletion Date, distributions in
reduction of the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Class will be
made in integral multiples of $1,000 at the request of the appropriate
representatives of Deceased Holders of Certificates of such Class and at the
request of Living Holders of Certificates of such Class or by mandatory
distributions, pursuant to Section 6.07(b) and Section 6.07(e). On and after the
Credit Support Depletion Date, distributions in reduction of the Outstanding
Certificate Principal Balances of such Class will be made on a pro rata basis
pursuant to Section 6.07(f).
(b) On each Distribution Date on which principal distributions
to the Class A-9, Class A-18 or Class A-20 Certificates are made pursuant to
Section 6.01(b)(ii)(A), such distributions shall be made distributed to the
Beneficial Holders of such Certificates by the Depository pursuant to the
Depository Agreement in the following priority:
(i) first, to requesting Deceased Holders, in the order in
which such requests are received by the Depository, but not exceeding
an aggregate amount of $25,000 for each requesting Deceased Holder; and
(ii) second, to requesting Living Holders, in the order in
which such requests are received by the Depository, but not exceeding
an aggregate amount of $10,000 for each requesting Living Holder.
82
Thereafter, the Depository shall make distributions with respect to the Class
A-9 Certificates as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above up to a second
$25,000 and $10,000, respectively. This sequence of priorities shall be repeated
until the Depository has honored all requests for principal distributions by
Deceased Holders and Living Holders of each such Class to the extent of amounts
available for principal distributions to each such Class.
All requests for principal distributions to the Class A-9 Certificates
will be accepted in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 6.07(d).
Requests for principal distributions that are received by the Servicer after the
related Record Date and requests for principal distributions received in a
timely manner but not accepted with respect to any Distribution Date, will be
treated as requests for principal distributions by the Beneficial Holder(s)
making such requests on the next succeeding Distribution Date, and each
succeeding Distribution Date thereafter, until each such request is accepted or
is withdrawn as provided in Section 6.07(d). Such requests as are not so
withdrawn shall retain their order of priority without the need for any further
action on the part of the appropriate Beneficial Holder of the Class A-9
Certificates, all in accordance with the procedures of the Depository and the
Servicer. Upon the transfer of beneficial ownership of the Class A-9
Certificates, any distribution request previously submitted with respect to each
such Class A-9 Certificates shall be deemed to have been withdrawn only upon the
receipt by the Servicer, on or before the Record Date for any applicable
Distribution Date of notification of such withdrawal in the manner set forth in
Section 6.07(d) using a form required by the Depository.
Distributions in reduction of the Outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of any Class of Class A-9 Certificates shall be applied by the Servicer
in an amount equal to the portion of the Non-PO Class A Optimal Principal Amount
allocable to such Class pursuant to Section 6.01, plus any amounts available for
distribution from the Rounding Account established as provided in Section 5.29,
provided that the aggregate distribution of principal to each such Class on any
Distribution Date shall be made in an integral multiple of $1,000.
To the extent that the portion of the Non-PO Class A Optimal Principal
Amount allocable to the Class A-9 Certificates on any Distribution Date exceeds
the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-9 Certificates with
respect to which principal distribution requests, as set forth above, have been
received, principal distributions in reduction of the Outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance of such Class will be made by mandatory distribution pursuant
to Section 6.07(e).
(c) The Class A-9 Certificates shall be deemed to be held by a
Deceased Holder for purposes of this Section 6.07 if the death of the Beneficial
Holder thereof is deemed to have occurred by the Servicer. Class A-9
Certificates beneficially owned by tenants by the entirety, joint tenants or
tenants in common shall be considered to be beneficially owned by a single
owner. The death of a tenant by the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common
shall be deemed to be the death of the Beneficial Holder, and the Class A-9
Certificates so beneficially owned shall be eligible for priority with respect
to principal distributions, subject to the limitations stated above. The Class
A-9 Certificates beneficially owned by a trust shall be considered to be
beneficially owned by each beneficiary of the trust to the extent of such
beneficiary's beneficial interest therein, but in no event will a trust's
beneficiaries collectively be deemed to be Beneficial Holders of a number of
Class A-9 Certificates greater than the number of Class A-9 Certificates of
which such trust is the owner. The death of a beneficiary of a trust shall be
deemed to be the death of a Beneficial Holder of Class A-9 Certificates
beneficially owned by the trust to the extent of such beneficiary's beneficial
interest in such trust. The death of an individual who was a tenant by the
entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common in a tenancy which is the beneficiary
of a trust shall be deemed
83
to be the death of the beneficiary of such trust. The death of a person who,
during his or her lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial
ownership interests in Class A-9 Certificates shall be deemed to be the death of
the Holder of such Class A-9 Certificates regardless of the registration of
ownership, if such beneficial ownership interest can be established to the
satisfaction of the Servicer. Such beneficial interest shall be deemed to exist
in typical cases of street name or nominee ownership, ownership by a trustee,
ownership under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act and community property or other
joint ownership arrangements between a husband and wife. Beneficial interest
shall include the power to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Class A-9
Certificates and the right to receive the proceeds therefrom, as well as
interest and principal distributions, as applicable, payable with respect
thereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be under any duty to
determine independently the occurrence of the death of any Deceased Holder. The
Servicer may rely entirely upon documentation delivered to it pursuant to
Section 6.07(d) in establishing the eligibility of any Holder to receive the
priority accorded Deceased Holders in Section 6.07(b).
(d) Requests for principal distributions to Class A-9
Certificates shall be made by delivering a written request therefor to the
Depository Participant or Indirect Participant that maintains the account
evidencing such Beneficial Holder's interest in such Certificate. In the case of
a request on behalf of a Deceased Holder, appropriate evidence of death and any
tax waivers are required to be forwarded to the Servicer, under separate cover.
The Depository Participant shall in turn make the request of the Depository (or,
in the case of an Indirect Participant, such Indirect Participant shall notify
the related Depository Participant of such request, which Depository Participant
should make the request of the Depository) on a form required by the Depository
and provided to the Depository Participant. Upon receipt of such request, the
Depository will date and time stamp such request and forward such request to the
Servicer. The Depository may establish such procedures as it deems fair and
equitable to establish the order of receipt of requests for such distributions
received by it on the same day. None of the Company, the Servicer, the Paying
Agent or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of requests for
distributions or withdrawals of such requests by the Depository, a Depository
Participant or any Indirect Participant.
The Servicer shall maintain a list of those Depository Participants
representing the appropriate Holders of Class A-9 Certificates that have
submitted requests for principal distributions, together with the order of
receipt and the amounts of such requests. The Servicer shall notify the
Depository as to which requests should be honored on each Distribution Date at
least two Business Days prior to such Distribution Date and shall notify the
Depository as to the portion of the Non-PO Class A Optimal Principal Amount
(together with any amounts available for distribution from the Rounding Account)
to be distributed to Class A-9 Certificates by mandatory distribution pursuant
to Section 6.07(e). Requests shall be honored by the Depository in accordance
with the procedures, and subject to the priorities and limitations, described in
this Section 6.07. The exact procedures to be followed by the Servicer and the
Depository for purposes of determining such priorities and limitations will be
those established from time to time by the Servicer or the Depository, as the
case may be. The decisions of the Servicer and the Depository concerning such
matters will be final and binding on all affected persons.
Class A-9 Certificates that have been accepted for a distribution shall
receive distributions on the applicable Distribution Date. Such Certificates
shall cease to bear interest on the amount of principal to be distributed on any
Distribution Date after the last calendar day of the month preceding the month
in which such Distribution Date occurs.
84
Any Beneficial Holder of a Class A-9 Certificate that has requested a
principal distribution may withdraw its request by so notifying in writing the
Depository Participant or Indirect Participant that maintains such Beneficial
Holder's account. In the event that such account is maintained by an Indirect
Participant, such Indirect Participant must notify the related Depository
Participant which in turn must forward the withdrawal of such request, on a form
required by the Depository, to the Depository to be forwarded to the Servicer.
If such notice of withdrawal of a request for distribution has not been received
by the Depository and forwarded to the Servicer on or before the Record Date for
the next Distribution Date, the previously made request for a principal
distribution shall be irrevocable with respect to the making of principal
distributions on such Distribution Date.
In the event any requests for principal distributions are rejected by
the Servicer for failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.07,
the Servicer shall return such request to the appropriate Depository Participant
with a copy to the Depository with an explanation as to the reason for such
rejection.
(e) To the extent, if any, that principal distributions to be
made to the applicable Class A-9 Certificates on a Distribution Date exceed the
aggregate amount of principal distribution requests for such Class which have
been received on or before the applicable Record Date, as provided in Section
6.07(b) above, additional Certificates of such Class will be selected to receive
mandatory principal distributions in lots equal to $1,000 in accordance with the
then-applicable Random Lot procedures of the Depository, and the then-applicable
procedures of the Depository Participants and Indirect Participants representing
the Beneficial Holders (which procedures may or may not be by random lot). The
Servicer shall notify the Depository of the aggregate amount of the mandatory
principal distribution to be made on the next Distribution Date. The Depository
shall then allocate such aggregate amount among the Depository Participants on a
Random Lot basis. Each Participant and, in turn, each Indirect Participant shall
then select, in accordance with its own procedures, the applicable Class A-9
Certificates from among those held in its accounts to receive mandatory
principal distributions, such that the total amount of principal distributed to
the so selected is equal to the aggregate amount of such mandatory distributions
allocated to such Participant by the Depository and to such Indirect Participant
by its related Participant, as the case may be. Depository Participants and
Indirect Participants that hold Class A-9 Certificates selected for mandatory
principal distributions are required to provide notice of such mandatory
distributions to the affected Beneficial Holders.
(f) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, on
each Distribution Date on and after the Credit Support Depletion Date,
distributions in reduction of the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of
such Class of Class A-9 Certificates will be made pro rata (based upon their
respective Outstanding Certificate Principal Balances) among the Beneficial
Holders of the Certificates of such Class and shall not be made in integral
multiples of $1,000 nor pursuant to requests for distribution as permitted by
Section 6.07(a) or by mandatory distributions as provided for by Section
6.07(e).
In the event that Definitive Certificates representing Class A-9
Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 4.01, an amendment to this
Agreement, which may be approved without the consent of any Certificateholders,
shall establish procedures relating to the manner in which distributions in
reduction of the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of Class A-9
Certificates are to be made.
Section 6.08. Determination of LIBOR. LIBOR applicable to the
calculation of the Certificate Rates on the Class A-11 and Class A-12
Certificates for any Interest Accrual Period (other than
85
the initial Interest Accrual Period) will be determined by the Servicer on each
Rate Adjustment Date as follows:
For any Interest Accrual Period other than the first Interest
Accrual Period, the rate for United States dollar deposits for one month which
appears on the Telerate Screen Page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M., London, England time,
on the second LIBOR Business Day prior to the first day of such Interest Accrual
Period. For the first Interest Accrual Period, LIBOR shall equal 4.93000% with
respect to the Class A-11 and Class A-12 Certificates. 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 reasonably selected by the
Servicer), the rate will be the Reference Bank Rate. If no such quotations can
be obtained and no Reference Bank Rate is available, LIBOR will be LIBOR
applicable to the preceding Distribution Date.
The establishment of LIBOR by the Servicer on any Rate
Adjustment Date and the Servicer's subsequent calculation of the Certificate
Rates applicable to the Class A-11 and Class A-12 Certificates for the relevant
Interest Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and
binding.

REPORTS TO BE PREPARED BY THE SERVICER
Section 7.01. Servicer Shall Provide Information as Reasonably
Required. The Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee, during the term of this
Agreement, such periodic, special, or other reports or information, whether or
not provided for herein, as shall be necessary, reasonable, or appropriate in
respect to the Trustee, or otherwise in respect to the purposes of this
Agreement, all such reports or information to be as provided by and in
accordance with such applicable instructions and directions as the Trustee may
reasonably require.
Section 7.02. Federal Information Returns and Reports to
Certificateholders.
(a) For federal income tax purposes, the taxable year of each
REMIC Pool shall be a calendar year and the Servicer shall maintain or cause the
maintenance of the books of each REMIC Pool on the accrual method of accounting.
(b) The Servicer shall prepare and file or cause to be filed
with the Internal Revenue Service federal tax or information returns with
respect to each REMIC Pool and the Certificates containing such information and
at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or applicable
Treasury regulations, and shall furnish to each Certificateholder at any time
during the calendar year for which such returns or reports are made such
statements or information at the times and in the manner as may be required
thereby. Without limitation on any other requirement of this Section 7.02, the
Servicer shall make available the information necessary for the application of
Section 860E(e) of the Code within 60 days of such request. With respect to the
Class A-R Certificate, the Servicer shall provide such
86
information or cause such information to be provided to (i) the Internal Revenue
Service, (ii) the transferor of a Class A-R Certificate to a Disqualified
Organization and (iii) a Pass-Thru Entity that holds a Class A- R Certificate
with one or more record holders that are Disqualified Organizations. The
Servicer also shall provide or cause to be provided promptly the above described
computation and information relating to the tax on transfers to Disqualified
Organizations within 60 days after becoming aware of the transfer to a
Disqualified Organization. In addition, except as may be provided in Treasury
regulations, any person holding an interest in a Pass-Thru Entity as a nominee
for another will, with respect to such interest, be treated as a Pass-Thru
Entity. In connection with the foregoing, the Servicer shall provide the name,
address and telephone number of the person who can be contacted to obtain
information required to be reported to the holders of regular interests in each
REMIC Pool (the "REMIC Reporting Agent") as required by IRS Form 8811. The
Trustee hereby designates Xxxxxx Xxxxxx to serve as the REMIC Reporting Agent.
The Servicer shall indicate the election to treat each REMIC Pool as a REMIC
(which election shall apply to the taxable period ending December 31, 1999 and
each calendar year thereafter) in such manner as the Code or applicable Treasury
regulations may prescribe. The Trustee shall sign all tax information returns
filed pursuant to this Section 7.02 and any other returns as may be required by
the Code, and in doing so shall rely entirely upon, and shall have no liability
for information provided by, or calculations provided by, the Servicer. The
Servicer is hereby designated as the agent of the Holder of the Class A-R
Certificates who shall be the "tax matters person" (within the meaning of Treas.
Reg. ss.1.860F-4(d)) for each REMIC Pool. Any Holder of a Class A-R Certificate
will by acceptance thereof so appoint the Servicer as agent and attorney-in-fact
for the purpose of acting as tax matters person. In the event that the Code or
applicable Treasury regulations prohibit the Trustee from signing tax or
information returns or other statements, or the Servicer from acting as tax
matters person (as an agent or otherwise), the Trustee or the Servicer, as the
case may be, shall take whatever action that in its sole good faith judgment is
necessary for the proper filing of such information returns or for the provision
of a tax matters person, including designation of the Holder of a Class A-R
Certificate to sign such returns or act as tax matters person. Each Holder of a
Class A-R Certificate shall be bound by this Section 7.02 by virtue of its
acceptance of a Class A-R Certificate.

ARTICLE VIII
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER
Section 8.01. Indemnification; Third Party Claims. The
Servicer agrees to indemnify the Depositor and the Trustee and hold the
Depositor and the Trustee, their officers, directors, employees and agents
harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses
that the Depositor or the Trustee may sustain in any way related to failure of
the Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance
with the terms of this Agreement; provided that no such indemnification shall be
required with respect to acts of a prior Servicer. The Servicer shall
immediately notify the Depositor and the Trustee if a claim is made by a third
party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the
consent of the Depositor and the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay
all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay,
discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it,
the Depositor or the Trustee in respect of such claim. This right to
indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
87
Section 8.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the
Servicer. The Depositor and the Servicer will each keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a corporation, and will obtain and preserve
its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction
in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its duties under this Agreement. The Servicer will not sell all
or substantially all of its assets without the prior written consent of the
Depositor and the Trustee.
Any person into which the Depositor or the Servicer may be
merged or consolidated, or to whom the Depositor or the Servicer has sold
substantially all of its assets, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the
Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor or the 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;
provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall
satisfy the requirements of Section 8.05 with respect to the qualifications of a
successor to the Servicer.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 8.02 and Section
8.04 to the contrary, the Servicer may assign its rights and delegate its duties
and obligations under this Agreement; provided that the Person accepting such
assignment or delegation shall be a Person which is qualified to service
mortgage loans on behalf of FNMA or FHLMC, is approved in advance in writing by
the Trustee and the Depositor, is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and
executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee, which
contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and
observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the
Servicer under this Agreement; provided further that each Rating Agency's rating
of any of the Classes of Certificates that have been rated in effect immediately
prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced or
withdrawn as a result of such assignment and delegation. In the case of any such
assignment and delegation, the Servicer shall be released from its obligations
as Servicer under this Agreement, except that the Servicer shall remain liable
for all liabilities and obligations incurred by it as Servicer hereunder prior
to the satisfaction of the conditions to such assignment and delegation set
forth in the next preceding sentence.
Section 8.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trustee and Others. Neither the Depositor, the Servicer nor any of
the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Servicer
shall be under any liability to the Trustee or the Certificateholders for any
action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor or the Servicer against any
breach of warranties or representations made herein, or failure to perform its
obligations in strict compliance with this Agreement, or any liability which
would otherwise be imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions
of this Agreement. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee 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. Neither the
Depositor, the Trustee nor the Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear
in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its
respective duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this
Agreement and which in its opinion may cause it to incur any expenses or
liability; provided, however, that the Depositor, the Trustee or the Servicer
may in its discretion (and, in the case of the Depositor or the Servicer, with
the consent of the Trustee, which
88
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) undertake any such action which it
may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights
and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of
such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and
liabilities payable from the Collection Account and the Depositor, the Servicer
or the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection
Account as provided by Section 4.06; provided that no such right of
reimbursement shall exist with respect to the Servicer when such claim relates
to the failure of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in strict
compliance with the terms of this Agreement or to a breach of a representation
or warranty made by the Servicer hereunder.
Section 8.04. Depositor and Servicer Not to Resign. Except as
described in Section 8.02, neither the Depositor nor the Servicer shall assign
this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it
except by mutual consent of the Depositor, the Servicer and all of the
Certificateholders unless the determination is made that its duties hereunder
are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be
cured by the Depositor or the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Depositor or the Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of
independent counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee which opinion of
counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Trustee. Upon any such
assignment or resignation, the Depositor or the Servicer, as appropriate, shall
send notice to all Certificateholders of the effect of such assignment or
resignation upon the then current rating of the Class of Certificates by each
Rating Agency whose rating on such Class is then in effect. No such resignation
shall become effective until a successor shall have assumed the Depositor's or
the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the manner provided
in Section 8.05. Any purported assignment or resignation which does not comply
with the requirements of this Section shall be of no effect.
Section 8.05. Successor to the Servicer. In connection with
the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this
Agreement pursuant to Section 8.04 or 9.01, the Trustee shall (i) succeed to and
assume all of the Servicer's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations as
Servicer (but not in any other capacity) under this Agreement (except that the
Trustee shall not be obligated to make Advances if prohibited by applicable law
nor to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Section 2.02 and except that the Trustee makes no representations and warranties
pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.02). Prior to the termination of the Servicer's
responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement, the Trustee may
appoint a successor having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and which is
a FNMA or FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing and which shall
succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement, except as aforesaid, if the
Trustee receives a letter from each Rating Agency that such appointment would
not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the current rating of any Class of
Certificates that is rated by a Rating Agency. Any co-trustee appointed pursuant
to Section 10.10 for purposes of this Section 8.05 shall have an obligation to
make Advances pursuant to Section 6.03 during such time as the Trustee is the
Servicer, which obligation shall be joint and several with that of the Trustee
as Servicer. If the Trustee has become the successor to the Servicer in
accordance with this Section or Section 9.03, then notwithstanding the above,
the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable
to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint,
any established housing and home finance institution having a net worth of not
less than $15,000,000 and which is a FNMA or FHLMC approved seller/servicer in
good standing as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of
all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. In
connection with any such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage
Loans as it and such successor shall agree
89
or such court shall determine; provided, however, that no such compensation
shall be in excess of that permitted under this Agreement without the consent of
all of the Certificateholders. If the Servicer's duties, responsibilities and
liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to Section 8.02,
8.04 or 9.01, the 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 or the Trust Fund. The resignation or removal of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 8.02, 8.04 or 9.01 shall not become effective until a
successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in no event
relieve the Servicer of liability for breach of the representations and
warranties made pursuant to Section 3.03.
Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and to the Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested
with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and
liabilities of the Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party
to this Agreement and the Certificates. Any termination or resignation of the
Servicer or this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.02, 8.04, 9.01 or 11.01 shall
not affect any claims that the Trustee may have against the Servicer for events
or actions taken or not taken by the Servicer arising prior to any such
termination or resignation.
The Servicer shall timely deliver to the successor the funds
that were, or were required to be, in the Collection Account and the Escrow
Account, if any, and all Mortgage Files and related documents, statements and
recordkeeping held by it hereunder and the Servicer shall account for all funds
and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may
reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the
successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and
liabilities of the Servicer.
Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the
Servicer shall notify, in writing, the Trustee, the Certificateholders and each
Rating Agency of such appointment.
Section 8.06. Maintenance of Ratings. The Servicer shall
cooperate with the Depositor and take any action that may be reasonably
necessary to maintain the current rating or ratings on the Certificates.

ARTICLE IX
DEFAULT
Section 9.01. Events of Default. If one or more of the
following Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:
(i) any failure by the Servicer to remit any payment required
to be made or distributed under the terms of this Agreement which
continues unremedied for a period of three Business Days after the date
upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or the
Depositor or to the Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor by the
Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to such Class,
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25%; or
(ii) a breach by the Servicer in a material respect of any
representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.02, or 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
set forth in this Agreement, which continues unremedied for a period of
60 days after the date on which written notice of such breach or
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to
the Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor or to the Servicer, the
Trustee and the Depositor by the Holders of Certificates of any Class
evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 25%; or
(iii) the Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing that it
is unable to make an Advance required to be made in accordance with
Section 6.03; or;
(iv) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for
the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered
against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in
force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
(v) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment
of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings
of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to all or
substantially all of the Servicer's property; or
(vi) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make
an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend
payment of its obligations.
then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not
have been remedied, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders and each
Rating Agency of such Event of Default. The Trustee may, and at the written
direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests
aggregating more than 50%, shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer,
terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement
and in and to the Mortgage 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 Mortgage Loans or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to
Section 8.05. Upon written request from the Trustee, the Servicer shall prepare,
execute and deliver, any and all documents and other instruments, place in such
successor's possession all Mortgage Files, and do or accomplish all other acts
or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of
the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise, at the Servicer's sole
expense. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and any co-trustee in
effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights
hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to such successor for
administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited or
should have been credited by the Servicer to the Collection Account or Escrow
Account or thereafter received with respect
91
to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee will have no obligation to take any action or
institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement at the request,
order or direction of any of the Holders of Certificates unless such
Certificateholders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
against the costs, expenses and liabilities which the Trustee may incur.
Section 9.02. Waiver of Defaults. The Trustee may waive any
default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its
consequences, except that a default in the making of any required distribution
on any of the Certificates may only be waived by the holders of a majority of
the Percentage Interests of the affected Certificateholders. Upon any such
waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every
purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent
expressly so waived.
Section 9.03. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and
after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section
9.01, the Trustee or its appointed agent shall be the successor in all respects
to the Servicer to the extent provided in Section 8.05.
Section 9.04. Notification to Certificateholders and the
Rating Agencies.
(a) Upon any such termination pursuant to Section 9.01, the
Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their
respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to each Rating
Agency.
(b) Within 60 days of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
having received written notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each
such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived.
[END OF ARTICLE IX]
ARTICLE X
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 10.01. 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, and is empowered to, perform such duties
and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Any
permissive right of the Trustee as enumerated in this Agreement shall not be
construed as a duty; provided that in case an Event of Default has occurred
(which has not been cured), the Trustee 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 man would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of such man's own affairs.
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, and, if the Trustee
92
is acting as the successor Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05 or 9.03, its own
willful misconduct with respect to its servicing obligations; 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 liable for an error of judgment
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of
the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent
in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of Certificateholders of any Class
holding Certificates which evidence, as to such Class, Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 25% as to 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.
Section 10.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except
as otherwise provided in Section 10.01:
(a) The Trustee may rely upon and shall be protected in acting
or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate,
certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and any advice or
Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it
hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion
of Counsel;
(c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the
request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders
shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred
therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve
the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default (which has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of such man's own affairs;
93
(d) Neither the Trustee nor any of its directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be personally liable for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it or any of
them to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers
conferred upon the Trustee by this Agreement;
(e) 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 make any investigation into the facts
or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so
by Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to such Class,
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% (in the case of
conflicting requests by two or more 25% or greater Percentage
Interests, the Trustee shall act in accordance with the first such
request); 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 Servicer, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and is continuing, and otherwise by the Certificateholder
requesting the investigation;
(f) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents, subcontractors or attorneys; and
(g) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require
the Trustee (acting in its capacity as Trustee) to expend its own
funds.
Section 10.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage
Loans. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
authentication of the Certificates by an authorized signatory of the Trustee)
shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case
may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The
Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency
of this Agreement or of the Certificates (except that (except as set forth
herein) the Certificates shall be duly and validly executed and authenticated by
it) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document. The Trustee shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or the Servicer of any
of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or
application of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Servicer in respect of the
Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the
Depositor or the Servicer. The Trustee, in its capacity as trustee hereunder,
shall have no responsibility for the timeliness or the amount of payments made
by the Paying Agent to the Certificateholders.
Section 10.04. Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in
its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
Section 10.05. Fees and Expenses. The Servicer covenants and
agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be
entitled to, 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 trust hereby created and
in the exercise and performance of
94
any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and the Servicer will pay
or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with
any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation
and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not
regularly in its employ, and the expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection
with the appointment of an office or agency pursuant to Section 10.11) except
any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or
bad faith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this
Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.06. Eligibility Requirements For Trustee. The
Trustee hereunder shall at all times be an entity having its principal office in
a state and city acceptable to the Depositor and organized and doing business
under the laws of such state or the United States of America, authorized under
such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority. The Trustee shall not be an affiliate of either
Seller or the Depositor. If such entity publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital
and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect specified in Section 10.07.
Section 10.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee. The
Trustee, and any co-trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the
trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the
Servicer and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the
Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or co-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; provided that such
appointment does not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any of
the Classes of Certificates that have been rated. 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.
If at any time, the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the
Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument, 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 evidencing in the aggregate more
than 50% of Percentage Interest may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by
such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of
which instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the
Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed.
95
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or any resignation
of any co-trustee and appointment of a successor trustee or co-trustee pursuant
to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance
of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 10.08, or upon
acceptance of appointment by a co-trustee, as applicable, unless with respect to
a co-trustee, the Trustee receives written notice from each Rating Agency that
the failure to appoint a successor co-trustee would not result in a withdrawal
or reduction of the rating of any of the Classes of Certificates that have been
rated, in which case the resignation of any co-trustee shall be effective upon
receipt of such written notice. Any co-trustee may not be removed unless the
Depositor and the Trustee each receive written notice from each Rating Agency
that such removal would not result in a withdrawal or reduction of the rating of
any of the Classes of Certificates that have been rated, in which case the
removal of any co-trustee shall be effective upon receipt of such written
notice.
Section 10.08. Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee
appointed as provided in Section 10.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Depositor 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 shall
become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor
trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it
hereunder, and the Depositor, 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 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 10.06. Prior to the appointment of
any successor trustee becoming effective, the Depositor shall have received from
each Rating Agency written confirmation that such appointment would not result
in a reduction of the rating of the Class A or Class M Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as
provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of
such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as
shown in the Certificate Register, to the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer and to each
Rating Agency. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall
cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.
Section 10.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any entity
into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to
the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
10.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 10.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
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 Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall
96
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, of 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 10.10, such
powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee
may consider necessary or desirable. If the Depositor shall not have joined in
such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request 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. No co-trustee or
separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as
a successor trustee under Section 10.06, hereunder, and no notice to Holders of
Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be
required under Section 10.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate
trustee pursuant to this Section 10.10, all rights, powers, duties and
obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed
upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or
co-trustee jointly and severally, except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall
be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such
rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the
Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised
and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the
Trustee.
Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article X. 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.
Section 10.11. Appointment of Office or Agency. The Trustee
may appoint an office or agency in The City of New York where Certificates may
be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee will
maintain an office at the address stated in Section 12.07 hereof where notices
and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates may be served.

TERMINATION
Section 11.01. Termination. The respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, the Servicer (except the duty to pay the
Trustee's fees and expenses and indemnification hereunder) and the Trustee shall
terminate upon (i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any
Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of
all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due hereunder; or (ii) at the
option of the Servicer, on any Distribution Date which occurs in the month next
following a Due Date on which the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of all
Outstanding Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the aggregate unpaid Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans on the Cut-off Date, so long as the Servicer
deposits or causes to be deposited in the Collection Account during the
Principal Prepayment Period related to such Distribution Date (and provides
notice to the Trustee of its intention to so deposit on or before the 20th day
of such Principal Prepayment Period) an amount equal to the greater of (A) the
Purchase Price for each Outstanding Mortgage Loan, less any unreimbursed
Advances made with respect to any Mortgage Loan (which amount shall offset
completely any unreimbursed Advances for which the Servicer is otherwise
entitled to reimbursement), and, with respect to all property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, an amount equal to the
fair market value of such property, as determined by an appraisal to be
conducted by an appraiser selected by the Trustee, less unreimbursed Advances
made with respect to any Mortgage Loan with respect to which property has been
acquired and (B) the aggregate Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the
Class A, Class M, Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates, plus any accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the Remittance Rate; provided, however, that in no
event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years
from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the
late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the
date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination may be effected by the
making of such optional repurchases only if the termination of each REMIC Pool
satisfies the requirement for a "qualified liquidation" of each REMIC Pool
within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code and that the purchases of
the Outstanding Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Section 11.01 will not constitute
"prohibited transactions" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code.
Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date
upon which all Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the
Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 4.05, the
Paying Agent for payment and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the
Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying
Agent, (upon direction by the Depositor 10 days prior to the date such notice is
to be mailed) by signed letter to Certificateholders and each Rating Agency
mailed 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, if a Paying Agent has been appointed
under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, therein designated and (ii) 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, if a Paying Agent has been appointed
under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, therein specified. The Servicer shall
indicate the date of adoption of the plan of qualified liquidation in a
statement attached to the final federal income tax return of each REMIC Pool.
After giving such notice, the Trustee or if a Paying Agent has been appointed
under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent shall not register the transfer or exchange
of any Certificates. If such notice is given in connection with the Servicer's
election to purchase the Outstanding Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall deposit
in the Collection Account after adoption of the plan during the applicable
Principal Prepayment Period an amount equal to the purchase price as determined
as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph and on the Distribution
Date on which such termination is to occur, 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, the
Trustee or, if a
98
Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, shall
notify the Servicer and the Servicer 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
Servicer elected to so purchase, the purchase price determined as provided in
clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph. Following such final deposit the Trustee
shall promptly release to the Servicer the Mortgage Files for the remaining
Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and
other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer and shall have no
further responsibility with regard to said Mortgage Files.
If all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time specified in
the above-mentioned written notice, at the close of the 90 day period beginning
after the written notice is given, each remaining Certificateholder will be
credited with an amount that would have been otherwise distributed to such
Certificateholder, and the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed
under Section 4.05, the Paying 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, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section
4.05, the Paying Agent, shall appoint an agent to take appropriate and
reasonable steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the
funds and other assets which remain in the Trust Fund hereunder.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 12.01. Severability of Provisions. If any one or more
of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for
any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions
or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.
Section 12.02. 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 to take any action or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding-up of the Trust Fund, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
expressly provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor
shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates,
be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under
any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties
to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
99
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default
and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and the Holders of
Certificates of any Class evidencing in the aggregate not less than 25% of the
Percentage Interests of such Class shall have made written request upon the
Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee
hereunder (in the case of conflicting requests by two or more 25% or greater
Percentage Interests, the Trustee shall act in accordance with the first such
request) and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it
may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein
or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any
such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
of any Class shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such Certificates of such Class or any other Class, or
to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such
Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner
herein provided and for the common benefit of Certificateholders of such Class
or all Classes, as the case may be. For the protection and enforcement of the
provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee
shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
Section 12.03. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from
time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent
of any of the Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or
supplement any provisions herein which may be inconsistent with any other
100
provisions herein, to ensure continuing treatment of each REMIC Pool as a REMIC
to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on either REMIC Pool
pursuant to the Code, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be materially
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, provided that such actions
shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder of a Class having an
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of greater than zero or cause either
REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage
Interest of each Class of Certificates having an Outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance greater than zero and affected thereby for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment
shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any class the Holders of which are
required to consent to any such amendment or (iii) change the percentage
specified in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 11.01, without the
consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.
Promptly 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
Certificateholders under this Section 12.03 to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve
the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing
the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be
subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Section 12.04. Counterparts. 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 12.05. Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall
continue in existence and effect until terminated as herein provided.
Section 12.06. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the
obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in
accordance with such laws.

registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an

Servicer and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of
the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not

of Class M Certificates and five Classes of Class B Certificates, each
evidencing an interest in certain distributions with respect to a pool of fixed
rate one- to four-family first lien Mortgage Loans formed and sold by the
Depositor and certain other property conveyed by the Depositor to the Trustee.
The Class A Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class A Percentage of
distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on such Mortgage
Loans. The Class M Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class M Percentage
of distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on such
Mortgage Loans. The Class B Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class B
Percentage of distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on
such Mortgage Loans.
Following the initial issuance of the Certificates, the
Principal Balance of this Certificate will be different from the Original
Denomination shown above. Anyone acquiring this Certificate may ascertain its
current Principal Balance by inquiry of the Trustee.
The Holder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that
it will look solely to the Trust Fund and certain amounts resulting from credit
enhancements for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the
Holders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or,
except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under
the Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement
and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations
of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
The Trustee will cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust
Office in New York, New York, or at the office of any Paying Agent appointed
under the Agreement, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee (or any Paying Agent, as the case
may be) will provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has
been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, maintained for such
purpose, the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section
4.05, the Paying Agent, will, subject to the limitations set forth in the
Agreement, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, a Certificate of a like Class and dated the date of authentication
by the Authenticating Agent.
No service charge will be made to the Holder for any transfer
or exchange of the Certificate, but the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of the Certificate. Prior to due
presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is
registered as the owner of such Certificate and the Percentage Interest in the
C-5
Trust Fund evidenced thereby for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant
to the Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Paying Agent nor the Trustee will be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions therein which may be inconsistent with the other provisions therein,
to ensure continuing treatment of the Trust Fund as a REMIC, or to make any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the
Agreement which are not materially inconsistent with the provisions of the
Agreement, provided that such action does not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder.
The Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage
Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of the Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment
may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are
required to consent to any such amendment or (iii) change the percentage
specified in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 11.01 of the
Agreement, without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class
then outstanding.
The Depositor intends to cause an election to be made to treat
the segregated pool comprising the assets of the Trust Fund (the "Subsidiary
REMIC") as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a "REMIC") for federal
income tax purposes. The Depositor intends to cause an election to be made to
treat the pool of assets represented by the "regular interests" in the
Subsidiary REMIC as a separate REMIC (the "Master REMIC"). The Class A
Certificates, the Class M Certificates and the Class B Certificates (other than
the Class A-R Certificate) will constitute "regular interests" in the Master
REMIC. The Class A-R Certificate will represent the sole class of "residual
interests" in each of the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Servicer (except the duty to pay the Trustee's fees and expenses
and indemnification hereunder) and the Trustee shall terminate upon (i) the
later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of all property acquired
upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the
remittance of all funds due hereunder; or (ii) at the option of the Servicer, on
any Distribution Date which occurs in the month next following a Due Date on
which the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of all Outstanding Mortgage Loans
is less than 10% of the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
on the Cut-off Date, so long as the Servicer deposits or causes to be deposited
in the Collection Account during the Principal Prepayment Period related to such
Distribution Date (and provides notice to the Trustee of its intention to so
deposit on or before the 20th day of such Principal Prepayment Period) an amount
equal to the greater of (A) the Purchase Price for each Outstanding Mortgage
Loan, less any unreimbursed Advances made with respect to any Mortgage Loan
(which amount shall offset completely any unreimbursed Advances for which the
Servicer is otherwise entitled to reimbursement), and, with respect to all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage
C-6
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, an amount equal to the fair market value of
such property, as determined by an appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser
selected by the Trustee, less unreimbursed Advances made with respect to any
Mortgage Loan with respect to which property has been acquired and (B) the
aggregate Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A, Class M,
Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates, plus any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon at the Remittance Rate; provided, however, that in no event shall the
trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death
of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late
ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date
hereof.

Series 1999-S8
evidencing an ownership interest in distributions allocable to the Class M

loans formed and sold by
CHASE MORTGAGE FINANCE CORPORATION
This certifies that __________________________________ is the
registered owner of the ownership interest (the "Ownership Interest") evidenced
by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the Original Denomination of this
Certificate by the aggregate Original Denomination of all Class M Certificates)
in certain distributions with respect to a pool of conventional one- to
four-family first lien mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans") formed and sold by
Chase Mortgage Finance Corporation (hereinafter called the "Depositor"), and
certain other property held in trust for the benefit of Certificate holders
(collectively, the "Trust Fund"). The Mortgage Loans are serviced by Chase
Manhattan Mortgage Corporation (the "Servicer") and are secured by first
mortgages on Mortgaged Properties. The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a
Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of June 1, 1999
among the Depositor, the Servicer and Citibank, N.A., 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 Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates, designated as Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 1999-S8, Class M (the "Class M Certificates") and is issued under and is
subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which
Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof
assents and by which Agreement such Holder is bound. Also issued under the
Agreement are Certificates designated as Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1999-S8, Class A (the "Class A Certificates") and Class B
(the "Class B Certificates"). The Class A Certificates are senior to, and the
Class B Certificates are subordinate to, the Class M Certificates in right of
payment to the extent described herein and in the Agreement. The Class A
Certificates, the Class M Certificates and the Class B Certificates are
collectively referred to herein as the "Certificates". Amounts properly
distributed to the Class M Certificateholders pursuant to the Agreement will be
deemed released from the Trust Fund, and the Class M Certificateholders will not
in any event be required to refund any such distributed amounts.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Trustee, or, if a
Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05 thereof, the Paying Agent,
will distribute from funds in the Certificate Account the amount as described on
the reverse hereof on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a
Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"),
commencing on July 26, 1999. Such distributions will be made to the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last
Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such payment is made, or
if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding
such last day.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by check
mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address
shall appear on the Certificate Register, or by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other financial or
depository institution having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder
has so notified the Paying Agent in writing at least 10 Business Days prior to
the first Distribution Date for which distribution by wire transfer is to be
made, and such Holder's Certificates evidence an aggregate original principal
balance of not less than $5,000,000 or such Holder holds a 100% Percentage
Interest of such Class.
D-3
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be
made after due notice by the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed
under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, of the pendency of such distribution and
only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office of the
Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying
Agent, or agency appointed by the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, for the purpose and specified in
such notice of final distribution.
The Trustee will cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust
Office in New York, New York, or at the office of its designated agent, a
Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Trustee will provide for the registration of Certificates and of
transfers and exchanges of Certificates. Upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee, or, if a
Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, maintained
for such purpose, the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under
Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, will, subject to the limitations set forth in
the Agreement, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, a Certificate of a like class and dated the date of
authentication by the Authenticating Agent. Notwithstanding the above, the final
distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee,
or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent,

this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee, or, if a
Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, for that
purpose and specified in such notice of final distribution.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this
Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof which further provisions shall for
all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication has been executed by
the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

REVERSE OF CERTIFICATE
MULTI-CLASS MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
SERIES 1999-S8
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates, designated as Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 1999-S8, issued in seventeen Classes of Class A Certificates, one Class
of Class M Certificates and five Classes of Class B Certificates, each
evidencing an interest in certain distributions with respect to a pool of fixed
rate one- to four-family first lien Mortgage Loans formed and sold by the
Depositor and certain other property conveyed by the Depositor to the Trustee.
The Class A Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class A Percentage of
distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on such Mortgage
Loans. The Class M Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class M Percentage
of distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on such
Mortgage Loans. The Class B Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class B
Percentage of distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on
such Mortgage Loans.
Following the initial issuance of the Certificates, the
Principal Balance of this Certificate will be different from the Original
Denomination shown above. Anyone acquiring this Certificate may ascertain its
current Principal Balance by inquiry of the Trustee.
The Holder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that
it will look solely to the Trust Fund and certain amounts resulting from credit
enhancements for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the
Holders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or,
except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under
the Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement
and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations
of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
The Trustee will cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust
Office in New York, New York, or at the office of any Paying Agent appointed
under the Agreement, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee (or any Paying Agent, as the case
may be) will provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has
been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, maintained for such
purpose, the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section
4.05, the Paying Agent, will, subject to the limitations set forth in the
Agreement, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, a Certificate of a like Class and dated the date of authentication
by the Authenticating Agent.
No service charge will be made to the Holder for any transfer
or exchange of the Certificate, but the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of the Certificate. Prior to due
presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is
registered as the owner of such Certificate and the Percentage Interest in the
D-6
Trust Fund evidenced thereby for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant
to the Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Paying Agent nor the Trustee will be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions therein which may be inconsistent with the other provisions therein,
to ensure continuing treatment of the Trust Fund as a REMIC, or to make any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the
Agreement which are not materially inconsistent with the provisions of the
Agreement, provided that such action does not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder.
The Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage
Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of the Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment
may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are
required to consent to any such amendment or (iii) change the percentage
specified in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 11.01 of the
Agreement, without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class
then outstanding.
The Depositor intends to cause an election to be made to treat
the segregated pool comprising the assets of the Trust Fund (the "Subsidiary
REMIC") as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a "REMIC") for federal
income tax purposes. The Depositor intends to cause an election to be made to
treat the pool of assets represented by the "regular interests" in the
Subsidiary REMIC as a separate REMIC (the "Master REMIC"). The Class A
Certificates, the Class M Certificates and the Class B Certificates (other than
the Class A-R Certificate) will constitute "regular interests" in the Master
REMIC. The Class A-R Certificate will represent the sole class of "residual
interests" in each of the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Servicer (except the duty to pay the Trustee's fees and expenses
and indemnification hereunder) and the Trustee shall terminate upon (i) the
later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of all property acquired
upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the
remittance of all funds due hereunder; or (ii) at the option of the Servicer, on
any Distribution Date which occurs in the month next following a Due Date on
which the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of all Outstanding Mortgage Loans
is less than 10% of the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
on the Cut-off Date, so long as the Servicer deposits or causes to be deposited
in the Collection Account during the Principal Prepayment Period related to such
Distribution Date (and provides notice to the Trustee of its intention to so
deposit on or before the 20th day of such Principal Prepayment Period) an amount
equal to the greater of (A) the Purchase Price for each Outstanding Mortgage
Loan, less any unreimbursed Advances made with respect to any Mortgage Loan
(which amount shall offset completely any unreimbursed Advances for which the
Servicer is otherwise entitled to reimbursement), and, with respect to all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage
D-7
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, an amount equal to the fair market value of
such property, as determined by an appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser
selected by the Trustee, less unreimbursed Advances made with respect to any
Mortgage Loan with respect to which property has been acquired and (B) the
aggregate Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A, Class M,
Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates, plus any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon at the Remittance Rate; provided, however, that in no event shall the
trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death
of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late
ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date

Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the
"Agreement"), dated as of June 1, 1999 among the Depositor, the Servicer and
Citibank, N.A., 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
Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates, designated as Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 1999-S8, Class B-1 (the "Class B-1 Certificate") and is issued under and
is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which
Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof
assents and by which Agreement such Holder is bound. Also issued under the
Agreement are Certificates designated as Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1999-S8, Class A Certificates (the "Class A Certificates")
and Class M (the "Class M Certificates"). The rights of the Class B-1
Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Class B
Certificates on any Distribution Date are subordinated to the rights of the
Class A and Class M Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of
the Class A and Class M Certificates to the extent, and only to the extent, set
forth in the Agreement. The Class A Certificates, the Class M Certificates and
the Class B Certificates are collectively referred to herein as the
"Certificates". Amounts properly distributed to the Class B Certificateholders
pursuant to the Agreement will be deemed released from the Trust Fund, and the
Class B Certificateholders will not in any event be required to refund any such
distributed amounts.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Trustee, or, if a
Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05 thereof, the Paying Agent,
will distribute from funds in the Certificate Account the amount as described on
the reverse hereof on the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a
Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"),
commencing on July 26, 1999. Such distributions will be made to the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last
Business Day of the month preceding the month in which such payment is made, or
if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding
such last day.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by check
mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address
shall appear on the Certificate Register, or by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank or other financial or
depository institution having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder
has so notified the Paying Agent in writing at least 10 Business Days prior to
the first Distribution Date for which distribution by wire transfer is to be
made, and such Holder's Certificates evidence an aggregate original principal
balance
E-3
of not less than $5,000,000 or such Holder holds a 100% Percentage Interest of
such Class. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this
Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent
has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the
office of the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section
4.05, the Paying Agent, or agency appointed by the Trustee, or, if a Paying
Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, for the purpose
and specified in such notice of final distribution.
The Trustee will cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust
Office in New York, New York, or at the office of its designated agent, a
Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Trustee will provide for the registration of Certificates and of
transfers and exchanges of Certificates. Upon surrender for registration of

Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, maintained
for such purpose, the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under
Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, will, subject to the limitations set forth in
the Agreement, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, a Certificate of a like class and dated the date of

Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, for that
purpose and specified in such notice of final distribution.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this
Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof which further provisions shall for
all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication has been executed by

MULTI-PASS MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
SERIES 1999-S8
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of
Certificates, designated as Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 1999-S8, issued in seventeen Classes of Class A Certificates, one Class
of Class M Certificates and five Classes of Class B Certificates, each
evidencing an interest in certain distributions with respect to a pool of fixed
rate one- to four-family first lien Mortgage Loans formed and sold by the
Depositor and certain other property conveyed by the Depositor to the Trustee.
The Class A Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class A Percentage of
distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on such Mortgage
Loans. The Class M Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class M Percentage
of distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on such
Mortgage Loans. The Class B Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class B
Percentage of distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on
such Mortgage Loans.
Following the initial issuance of the Certificates, the
Principal Balance of this Certificate will be different from the Original
Denomination shown above. Anyone acquiring this Certificate may ascertain its
current Principal Balance by inquiry of the Trustee.
The Holder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that
it will look solely to the Trust Fund and certain amounts resulting from credit
enhancements for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the
Holders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or,
except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under
the Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement
and reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations
of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
The Trustee will cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust
Office in New York, New York, or at the office of any Paying Agent appointed
under the Agreement, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee (or any Paying Agent, as the case
may be) will provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has
been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, maintained for such
purpose, the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section
4.05, the Paying Agent, will, subject to the limitations set forth in the
Agreement, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, a Certificate of a like Class and dated the date of authentication
by the Authenticating Agent.
No service charge will be made to the Holder for any transfer
or exchange of the Certificate, but the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of the Certificate. Prior to due
presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is
registered as the owner of such Certificate and the Percentage Interest in the
E-6
Trust Fund evidenced thereby for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant
to the Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Paying Agent nor the Trustee will be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions therein which may be inconsistent with the other provisions therein,
to ensure continuing treatment of the Trust Fund as a REMIC, or to make any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the
Agreement which are not materially inconsistent with the provisions of the
Agreement, provided that such action does not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder.
The Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage
Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of the Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment
may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are
required to consent to any such amendment or (iii) change the percentage
specified in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 11.01 of the
Agreement, without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class
then outstanding.
The Depositor intends to cause an election to be made to treat
the segregated pool comprising the assets of the Trust Fund (the "Subsidiary
REMIC") as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a "REMIC") for federal
income tax purposes. The Depositor intends to cause an election to be made to
treat the pool of assets represented by the "regular interests" in the
Subsidiary REMIC as a separate REMIC (the "Master REMIC"). The Class A
Certificates, the Class M Certificates and the Class B Certificates (other than
the Class A-R Certificate) will constitute "regular interests" in the Master
REMIC. The Class A-R Certificate will represent the sole class of "residual
interests" in each of the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Servicer (except the duty to pay the Trustee's fees and expenses
and indemnification hereunder) and the Trustee shall terminate upon (i) the
later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of all property acquired
upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the
remittance of all funds due hereunder; or (ii) at the option of the Servicer, on
any Distribution Date which occurs in the month next following a Due Date on
which the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of all Outstanding Mortgage Loans
is less than 10% of the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
on the Cut-off Date, so long as the Servicer deposits or causes to be deposited
in the Collection Account during the Principal Prepayment Period related to such
Distribution Date (and provides notice to the Trustee of its intention to so
deposit on or before the 20th day of such Principal Prepayment Period) an amount
equal to the greater of (A) the Purchase Price for each Outstanding Mortgage
Loan, less any unreimbursed Advances made with respect to any Mortgage Loan
(which amount shall offset completely any unreimbursed Advances for which the
Servicer is otherwise entitled to reimbursement), and, with respect to all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage
E-7
Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, an amount equal to the fair market value of
such property, as determined by an appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser
selected by the Trustee, less unreimbursed Advances made with respect to any
Mortgage Loan with respect to which property has been acquired and (B) the
aggregate Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A, Class M,
Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates, plus any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon at the Remittance Rate; provided, however, that in no event shall the
trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death
of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late
ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date

Certificates and five Classes of Class B Certificates, each evidencing an
interest in certain distributions with respect to a pool of fixed rate one- to
four-family first lien Mortgage Loans formed and sold by the Depositor and
certain other property conveyed by the Depositor to the Trustee. The Class A
Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class A Percentage of distributions
relating to repayments of principal and interest on such Mortgage Loans. The
Class M Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class M Percentage of
distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on such Mortgage
Loans. The Class B Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class B Percentage
of distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on such
Mortgage Loans.
Following the initial issuance of the Certificates, the Principal
Balance of this Certificate will be different from the Original Denomination
shown above. Anyone acquiring this Certificate may ascertain its current
Principal Balance by inquiry of the Trustee.
The Holder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund and certain amounts resulting from credit
enhancements for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the
Holders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or,
except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under
the Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
The Trustee will cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust Office in New
York, New York, or at the office of any Paying Agent appointed under the
Agreement, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee (or any Paying Agent, as the case
may be) will provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has
been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, maintained for such
purpose, the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section
4.05, the Paying Agent, will, subject to the limitations set forth in the
Agreement, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, a Certificate of a like Class and dated the date of authentication
by the Authenticating Agent.
No service charge will be made to the Holder for any transfer or
exchange of the Certificate, but the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of the Certificate. Prior to due
presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is
registered as the owner of such Certificate and the Percentage Interest in the
F-6
Trust Fund evidenced thereby for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant
to the Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Paying Agent nor the Trustee will be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders,
to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions therein which may
be inconsistent with the other provisions therein, to ensure continuing
treatment of the Trust Fund as a REMIC, or to make any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising under the Agreement which are not
materially inconsistent with the provisions of the Agreement, provided that such
action does not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder.
The Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
the Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment may (i)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on
Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) reduce the aforesaid
percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to
consent to any such amendment or (iii) change the percentage specified in clause
(ii) of the first paragraph of Section 11.01 of the Agreement, without the
consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.
The Depositor intends to cause an election to be made to treat the
segregated pool comprising the assets of the Trust Fund (the "Subsidiary REMIC")
as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a "REMIC") for federal income tax
purposes. The Depositor intends to cause an election to be made to treat the
pool of assets represented by the "regular interests" in the Subsidiary REMIC as
a separate REMIC (the "Master REMIC"). The Class A Certificates, the Class M
Certificates and the Class B Certificates (other than the Class A-R Certificate)
will constitute "regular interests" in the Master REMIC. The Class A-R
Certificate will represent the sole class of "residual interests" in each of the
Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the
Servicer (except the duty to pay the Trustee's fees and expenses and
indemnification hereunder) and the Trustee shall terminate upon (i) the later of
the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of
the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of all property acquired upon
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the
remittance of all funds due hereunder; or (ii) at the option of the Servicer, on
any Distribution Date which occurs in the month next following a Due Date on
which the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of all Outstanding Mortgage Loans
is less than 10% of the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
on the Cut-off Date, so long as the Servicer deposits or causes to be deposited
in the Collection Account during the Principal Prepayment Period related to such
Distribution Date (and provides notice to the Trustee of its intention to so
deposit on or before the 20th day of such Principal Prepayment Period) an amount
equal to the greater of (A) the Purchase Price for each Outstanding Mortgage
Loan, less any unreimbursed Advances made with respect to any Mortgage Loan
(which amount shall offset completely any unreimbursed Advances for which the
Servicer is otherwise entitled to reimbursement), and, with respect to all

Principal Balance of the Class A, Class M, Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates,
plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the Remittance Rate; provided,
however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the

ARTICLE II.
SPECIAL SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section 2.01. Reports and Notices.
(a) In connection with the performance of its duties under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement relating to the realization upon defaulted Mortgage Loans,
the Company, as Servicer, shall provide to the Purchaser the following notices
and reports:
(i) Within five Business Days after each Distribution Date (or
included in or with the monthly statement to Certificateholders pursuant to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Company shall provide to the
Purchaser a report indicating for the Trust the number of Mortgage Loans
that are (A) thirty days, (B) sixty days, (C) ninety days or more
delinquent or (D) in foreclosure, and indicating for each such Mortgage
Loan the outstanding principal balance.
(ii) Prior to the Commencement of Foreclosure in connection with any
Mortgage Loan, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with a notice (sent
by telecopier) of such proposed and imminent foreclosure, stating the loan
number and the aggregate amount owing under the Mortgage Loan.
(b) If requested by the Purchaser, the Company shall make its servicing
personnel available (during their normal business hours) to respond to
reasonable inquiries by the Purchaser in connection with any Mortgage Loan
identified in a report under subsection (a)(i)(B), (a)(i)(C), (a)(i)(D) or
(a)(ii) which has been given to the Purchaser; provided, that (1) the Company
shall only be required to provide information that is readily accessible to its
servicing personnel and is non-confidential and (2) the Company shall not be
required to provide any written information under this subsection.
(c) In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall provide to the
Purchaser such information as the Purchaser may reasonably request concerning
each Mortgage Loan that is at least sixty days delinquent and each Mortgage Loan
which has become real estate owned, through the final liquidation thereof;
provided that the Company shall only be required to provide information that is
readily accessible to its servicing personnel and is non-confidential.
(d) With respect to all Mortgage Loans which are serviced at any time by
the Company through a Subservicer, the Company shall be entitled to rely for all
purposes hereunder, including for purposes of fulfilling its reporting
obligations under this Section 2.01 on the accuracy and completeness of any
information provided to it by the applicable Subservicer.
J-3
Section 2.02. Purchaser's Election to Delay Foreclosure Proceedings.
(a) The Purchaser directs the Company that in the event that the Company
does not receive written notice of the Purchaser's election pursuant to
subsection (b) below within 24 hours (exclusive of any intervening non-Business
Days) of transmission of the notice provided by the Company under Section
2.01(a)(ii), subject to extension as set forth in Section 2.02(b), the Company
shall proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure in respect of such Mortgage
Loan in accordance with its normal foreclosure policies without further notice
to the Purchaser. Any foreclosure that has been initiated may be discontinued
(i) without notice to the Purchaser, if 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 Company) (ii) with
notice to the Purchaser if the Company has reached the terms of a forbearance
agreement with the borrower. In such latter case the Company may complete such
forbearance agreement unless instructed otherwise by the Purchaser within one
Business Day of notification.
(b) In connection with any Mortgage Loan with respect to which a notice
under Section 2.01(a)(ii) has been given to the Purchaser, the Purchaser may
elect, for reasonable cause as determined by the Purchaser, to instruct the
Company to delay the Commencement of Foreclosure until such term as the
Purchaser determines that the Company may proceed with the Commencement of
Foreclosure. Such election must be evidenced by written notice received within
24 hours (exclusive of any intervening non-Business Days) of transmission of the
notice provided by the Company under Section 2.01(a)(ii). Such 24 hour period
shall be extended for no longer than an additional four Business Days after the
receipt of the information if the Purchaser requests additional information
related to such foreclosure; provided, however that the Purchaser will have at
least one Business Day to respond to any requested additional information. Any
such additional information shall (i) not be confidential in nature and (ii) be
obtainable by the Company from existing reports, certificates or statements or
otherwise be readily accessible to its servicing personnel. The Purchaser agrees
that it has no right to deal with the mortgagor. If the Company's normal
foreclosure policy includes acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or short
payoff, the Purchaser will be notified and given one Business Day to respond.
(c) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an
Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Purchaser shall obtain a Current Appraisal as
soon as practicable, and shall provide the Company with a copy of such Current
Appraisal.
(d) Within two Business Days of making any Election to Delay Foreclosure,
the Purchaser shall remit by wire transfer to the Company, for deposit in the
Collateral Fund, an amount, as calculated by the Company, equal to the sum of
(i) 125% of the greater of the outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loan and the value shown in the Current Appraisal referred to in subsection (c)
above (or, if such Current Appraisal has not yet been obtained, the Company's
estimate thereof, in which case the required deposit under this subsection shall
be adjusted upon obtaining of such Current Appraisal), and (ii) three months'
interest on the Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Rate. If any Election
to Delay Foreclosure extends for a period in excess of three months (such excess
period being referred to herein as the "Excess Period"), the Purchaser shall
remit by wire transfer in advance to the Company for deposit in the Collateral
Fund the amount, as calculated by the Company, equal to interest on the Mortgage
Loan at the applicable Mortgage Rate for the Excess Period. The terms of this
Agreement shall no longer apply to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan upon the
failure of the Purchaser
J-4
to deposit the above amounts relating to the Mortgage Loan within two Business
Days of the Election to Delay Foreclosure.
(e) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an
Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Company may withdraw from the Collateral Fund
from time to time amounts necessary to reimburse the Company for all Advances
and Liquidation Expenses thereafter made by the Company as Servicer in
accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent that the
amount of any such Liquidation Expense is determined by the Company based on
estimated costs, and the actual costs are subsequently determined to be higher,
the Company may withdraw the additional amount from the Collateral Fund. In the
event that the Mortgage Loan is brought current by the Mortgagor and the
foreclosure action is discontinued, the amounts so withdrawn from the Collateral
Fund shall be redeposited therein as and to the extent that reimbursement
therefor from amounts paid by the Mortgagor is not prohibited pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Except as provided in the preceding sentence,
amounts withdrawn from the Collateral Fund to cover Advances and Liquidation
Expenses shall not be redeposited therein or otherwise reimbursed to the
Purchaser. If and when any such Mortgage Loan is brought current by the
Mortgagor, all amounts remaining in the Collateral Fund in respect of such
Mortgage Loan (after adjustment for all withdrawals and deposits pursuant to
this subsection) shall be released to the Purchaser.
(f) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an
Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Company shall continue to service the
Mortgage Loan in accordance with its customary procedures (other than the delay
in Commencement of Foreclosure as provided herein). If and when the Purchaser
shall notify the Company that it believes that it is appropriate to do so, the
Company shall proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure. In any event, if the
Mortgage Loan is not brought current by the mortgagor by the time the loan
becomes 6 months delinquent, the Purchaser's election shall no longer be
effective and at the Purchaser's option, either (i) the Purchaser shall purchase
the Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at a purchase price equal to the fair
market value as shown on the Current Appraisal, to be paid by (x) applying any
balance in the Collateral Fund to such purchase price, and (y) to the extent of
any deficiency, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company
or Trustee; or (ii) the Company shall proceed with the Commencement of
Foreclosure.
(g) Upon the occurrence of a liquidation with respect to any Mortgage Loan
as to which the Purchaser made an Election to Delay Foreclosure and as to which
the Company proceeded with the Commencement of Foreclosure in accordance with
subsection (f) above, the Company shall calculate the amount, if any, by which
the value shown on the Current Appraisal obtained under subsection (c) exceeds
the actual sales price obtained for the related Mortgaged Property (net of
Liquidation Expenses and accrued interest related to the extended foreclosure
period), and the Company shall withdraw the amount of such excess from the
Collateral Fund, shall remit the same to the Trust Fund and in its capacity as
Servicer shall apply such amount as additional Liquidation Proceeds pursuant to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. After making such withdrawal, all amounts
remaining in the Collateral Fund in respect of such Mortgage Loan (after
adjustment for all withdrawals and deposits pursuant to subsection (e)) shall be
released to the Purchaser.
Section 2.03. Purchaser's Election to Commence Foreclosure Proceedings.
J-5
(a) In connection with any Mortgage Loan identified in a report under
Section 2.01(a)(i)(B), the Purchaser may elect, for reasonable cause as
determined by the Purchaser, to instruct the Company to proceed with the
Commencement of Foreclosure as soon as practicable. Such election must be
evidenced by written notice received by the Company by 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third Business Day following the delivery of such report under
Section 2.01(a)(i).
(b) Within two Business Days of making any Election to Foreclose, the
Purchaser shall remit to the Company, for deposit in the Collateral Fund, an
amount, as calculated by the Company, equal to 125% of the current Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loan and three months' interest on the Mortgage Loan at
the applicable Mortgage Rate. If and when any such Mortgage Loan is brought
current by the Mortgagor, all amounts in the Collateral Fund in respect of such
Mortgage Loan shall be released to the Purchaser. The terms of this Agreement
shall no longer apply to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan upon the failure of
the Purchaser to deposit the above amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans within
two Business Days at the Election to Foreclose.
(c) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an
Election to Foreclose, the Company shall continue to service the Mortgage Loan
in accordance with its customary procedures (other than to proceed with the
Commencement of Foreclosure as provided herein). In connection therewith, the
Company shall have the same rights to make withdrawals for Advances and
Liquidation Expenses from the Collateral Fund as are provided under Section
2.02(e), and the Company shall make reimbursements thereto to the limited extent
provided under such subsection. The Company shall not be required to proceed
with the Commencement of Foreclosure if (i) the same is stayed as a result of
the Mortgagor's bankruptcy or is otherwise barred by applicable law, or to the
extent that all legal conditions precedent thereto have not yet been complied
with or (ii) the Company believes there is a breach of representation or
warranties by the Company, which may result in a repurchase or substitution of
such Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the Company reasonably believes the Mortgaged
Property may be contaminated with or affected by hazardous wastes or hazardous
substances (and the Company supplies the Purchaser with information supporting
such belief). The Company will repurchase or substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant
to the preceding clause (ii) within the time period specified in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. Any foreclosure that has been initiated may be discontinued
(i) without notice to the Purchaser if 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 Company), or (ii)
with notice to the Purchaser if the Company has reached the terms of a
forbearance agreement unless instructed otherwise by the Purchaser within two
Business Days of notification.
(d) Upon the occurrence of a liquidation with respect to any Mortgage Loan
as to which the Purchaser made an Election to Foreclose and as to which the
Company proceeded with the Commencement of Foreclosure in accordance with
subsection (c) above, the Company shall calculate the amount, if any, by which
the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan at the time of liquidation (plus all
unreimbursed Advances and Liquidation Expenses in connection therewith other
than those paid from the Collateral Fund) exceeds the actual sales price
obtained for the related Mortgaged Property, and the Company shall withdraw the
amount of such excess from the Collateral Fund, shall remit the same to the
Trust Fund and in its capacity as Servicer shall apply such amount as additional
Liquidation Proceeds pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. After
making such withdrawal, all amounts remaining in the Collateral Fund (after
adjustment for all withdrawals and deposits pursuant to subsection (c)) in
respect of such Mortgage Loan shall be released to the Purchaser.
J-6
Section 2.04. Termination.
(a) With respect to all Mortgage Loans included in the Trust Fund, the
Purchaser's rights to make any Election to Delay Foreclosure or any Election to
Foreclose and the Company's obligations under Section 2.01 shall terminate (i)
at such time as the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-5 Certificates
has been reduced to zero, (ii) if the greater of (x) 43% (or such lower or
higher percentages that represents the Company's actual historical loss
experience with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the related pool) of the
aggregate principal balance of all Mortgage Loans that are in foreclosure or are
more than 90 days delinquent on a contractual basis and REO properties or if the
aggregate amount that the Company estimates will be required to be withdrawn
from the Collateral Fund with respect to Mortgage Loans as to which the
Purchaser has made an Election to Delay Foreclosure or an Election to Foreclose
exceeds (z) the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-5
Certificates, or (iii) upon any transfer by the Purchaser of any interest (other
than the minority interest therein, but only if the transferee provides written
acknowledgment to the Company of the Purchaser's right hereunder and that such
transferee will have no rights hereunder) in the Class B-5 Certificates (whether
or not such transfer is registered under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement),
including any such transfer in connection with a termination of the Trust Fund.
Except as set forth above, this Agreement and the respective rights, obligations
and responsibilities of the Purchaser and the Company hereunder shall terminate
upon the later to occur of (i) the final liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan
as to which the Purchaser made any Election to Delay Foreclosure or any Election
to Foreclose and the withdrawal of all remaining amounts in the Collateral Fund
as provided herein and (ii) ten (10) Business Day's notice.
(b) Purchaser's rights pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 of this Agreement
shall terminate with respect to a Mortgage loan as to which the Purchaser has
exercised its rights under Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof, upon Purchaser's failure
to deposit any amounts required pursuant to Section 2.02(d) or 2.03(b).
(c) Neither the Servicer nor any of its directors, officers, employees or
agents shall be under any liability for any action taken or for refraining from
the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors
in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Servicer or any such Person 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. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent
thereof may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly
executed and submitted by an Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.
ARTICLE III.
COLLATERAL FUND; SECURITY INTEREST

Corporation, as Servicer, for the benefit of registered holders of Chase
Mortgage
J-7
Finance Corporation Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
1999-S8, Class B-5." Amounts in the Collateral Fund shall continue to be the
property of the Purchaser, subject to the first priority security interest
granted hereunder for the benefit of the Certificate holders, until withdrawn

Upon the termination of this Agreement and the liquidation of all Mortgage
Loans as to which the Purchaser has made any Election to Delay Foreclosure or
any Election to Foreclose pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof, the Company shall
distribute to the Purchaser all amounts remaining in the Collateral Fund
together with any investment earnings thereon.
The Collateral Fund shall be an "outside reserve fund" within the meaning
of the REMIC Provisions, beneficially owned by the Purchaser, who shall report
all income, gain or loss with respect thereto. Any amounts transferred from the
Trust Fund to the Collateral Fund shall be deemed to be transferred to the
Purchaser, as beneficial owner of the Collateral Fund. In no event shall the
Purchaser (i) take or cause the Trustee or the Company to take any action that
could cause any REMIC established under the Trust Agreement to fail to qualify
as a REMIC or cause the imposition on any such REMIC of any "prohibited
transaction" or "prohibited contribution" taxes or (ii) cause the Trustee or the
Company to fail to take any action necessary to maintain the status of any such
REMIC as a REMIC.
Section 3.02. Collateral Fund Permitted Investments.
The Company shall, at the written direction of the Purchaser invest the
funds in the Collateral Fund in Collateral Fund Permitted Investments. Such
direction shall not be changed more frequently than quarterly. In the absence of
any direction, the Company shall select such investments in accordance with the
definition of Collateral Fund Permitted Investments in its discretion.
All income and gain realized from any investment as well as any interest
earned on deposits in the Collateral Fund (net of any losses on such
investments) and any payments of principal made in respect of any Collateral
Fund Permitted Investment shall be deposited in the Collateral Fund upon
receipt. All costs and realized losses associated with the purchase and sale of
Collateral Fund Permitted Investments shall be borne by the Purchaser and the
amount of net realized losses shall be deposited by the Purchaser in the
Collateral Fund. The Company shall periodically (but not more frequently than
monthly) distribute to the Purchaser upon request an amount of cash, to the
extent cash is available therefor in the Collateral Fund, equal to the amount by
which the balance of the Collateral Fund, after giving effect to all other
distributions to be made from the Collateral Fund on such date, exceeds the
Required Collateral Fund Balance. Any amounts so distributed shall be released
from the lien and security interest of this Agreement.
Section 3.03. Grant of Security Interest.
The Purchaser grants to the Company and the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders a security interest in and lien on all of the Purchaser's
right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to:
(1) the Collateral Fund, (2) all amounts deposited in the Collateral Fund and
Collateral Fund Permitted Investments in which such amounts are invested (and
the distributions and proceeds of such investments) and (3) all cash and
non-cash proceeds of any of the foregoing, including proceeds of the voluntary
or involuntary conversion thereof (all of the foregoing collectively, the
"Collateral").
J-8
The Purchaser acknowledges the lien on and security interest in the
Collateral for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Purchaser shall take
all actions requested by the Company or the Trustee as may be reasonably
necessary to perfect the security interest created under this Agreement in the
Collateral and cause it to be prior to all other security interests and liens,
including the execution and delivery to the Company for filing of appropriate
financing statements in accordance with applicable law. The Company shall file
appropriate continuation statements, or appoint an agent on its behalf to file
such statements, in accordance with applicable law.
Section 3.04. Collateral Shortfalls.
In the event that amounts on deposit in the Collateral Fund at any time are
insufficient to cover any withdrawals therefrom that the Company or the Trustee
is then entitled to make hereunder, the Purchaser shall be obligated to pay such
amounts to the Company or the Trustee immediately upon demand. Such obligation
shall constitute a general corporate obligation of the Purchaser.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We propose to purchase Chase Mortgage Finance Corporation's Multi-Class
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1999-S8, Class A-R, described in the
Prospectus Supplement, dated June __, 1999 and Prospectus, dated June 14, 1999.
1. We certify that (a) we are not a disqualified organization and (b) we
are not purchasing such Class A-R Certificates on behalf of a disqualified
organization; for this purpose the term "disqualified organization" means the
United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any foreign
government, any international organization, any agency or instrumentality of any
of the foregoing (except any entity treated as other than an instrumentality of
the foregoing for purposes of Section 168(h)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code")), any organization (other than a cooperative
described in Section 521 of the Code) that is exempt from taxation under the
Code (unless such organization is subject to tax on excess inclusions) and any
organization that is described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code. We
understand that any breach by us of this certification may cause us to be liable
for an excise tax imposed upon transfers to disqualified organizations.
2. We certify that we are not an employee benefit plan subject to Section
406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any
such plan or using the assets of such plan, or, alternatively, in the case of an
insurance company, the assets of any separate accounts to effect such
acquisition.
3. We certify that (a) we have historically paid our debts as they became
due, (b) we intend, and believe that we will be able, to continue to pay our
debts as they become due in the future, (c) we understand that, as beneficial
owner of the Class A-R Certificates, we may incur tax liabilities in excess of
any cash flows generated by the Class A-R Certificates, and (d) we intend to pay
any taxes associated with holding the Class A-R Certificates as they become due.

4. We acknowledge that we will be the beneficial owner of the Class A-R
Certificates and:*
______ The Class A-R Certificates will be registered in our name.
______ The Class A-R Certificates will be held in the name of our nominee,
____________________, which is not a disqualified organization.
5. Unless Chase Mortgage Finance Corporation ("CMFC") has consented to the
transfer to us by executing the form of Consent affixed hereto as Appendix B, we
certify that we are a U.S. person; for this purpose the term "U.S. Person" means
a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation or partnership
(unless, in the case of a partnership, Treasury regulations are adopted that
provide otherwise) created or organized in or under the laws of the United
States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, including an entity
treated as a corporation or partnership for federal income tax purposes, an
estate whose income is subject to Unites States federal income tax regardless of
its source, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise
primary supervision over the administration of such trust, and one or more such
U.S. Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such
trust, (or, to the extent provided in applicable Treasury regulations, certain
trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 which are eligible to elect to be treated
as U.S. Persons). We agree that any breach by us of this certification shall
render the transfer of any interest in the Class A-R Certificates to us
absolutely null and void and shall cause no rights in the Class A-R Certificates
to vest in us.
6. We agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to transfer
any interest in the Class A-R Certificates, we will transfer such interest in
the Class A-R Certificates only (a) to a transferee that (i) is not a
disqualified organization and is not purchasing such interest in the Class A-R
Certificates on behalf of a disqualified organization, (ii) is a U.S. person and
(iii) has delivered to CMFC a letter in the form of this letter (including the
affidavit appended hereto) and, if requested by CMFC, an opinion of counsel (in
a form acceptable to CMFC) that the proposed transfer will not cause the
interest in the Class A-R Certificates to be held by a disqualified organization
or a person who is not a U.S. person or (b) with the written consent of CMFC.
