SERVICING AGREEMENT - PAGE 1
(a) Such Servicer has been duly formed and is validly existing under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and is duly qualified to do
business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which
the failure to be so qualified would have a material adverse effect on the

(b) Such Servicer holds all material licenses, certificates and permits
from all governmental authorities necessary for the conduct of its business

accordance with the terms of this Agreement) and has received no notice of
proceedings relating to the revocation of any such license, certificate or
permit which singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable
decision, ruling or finding, would materially and adversely affect the conduct

otherwise) of such Servicer;

and perform, and to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and to conduct its business as presently conducted, has duly
authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, has duly
executed and delivered this Agreement and this Agreement constitutes a legal,
valid and binding obligation of such Servicer, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (i)
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and (ii) by general
equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law);
(d) Neither the execution and delivery by such Servicer of this
Agreement, the consummation by such Servicer of the transactions contemplated
hereby, nor the fulfillment of or compliance by such Servicer with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement conflicts or will conflict with or results or will
result in a breach of or constitutes or will constitute a default under (i) any
term or provision of the organizational documents or bylaws of the Servicer, or
(ii) any material term or provision of any agreement, contract, instrument or
indenture of any nature whatsoever, to which the Servicer is a party or is
bound, or (iii) any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or
decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the

have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each of its
covenants contained in this Agreement;

threatened, which, if determined adversely to such Servicer, would materially
and adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this
Agreement, or the ability of such Servicer to service the Loans hereunder in
accordance with the terms hereof or which would have a material adverse effect
on the financial condition of such Servicer;
SERVICING AGREEMENT - PAGE 2
(g) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or
filing with or notice to any court or governmental agency or body is required
for the execution, delivery and performance by such Servicer of or compliance by
such Servicer with this Agreement or the consummation by such Servicer of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or if any such consent, approval,
authorization, order, registration, filing or notice is required, such Servicer
has obtained or will obtain it prior to the time necessary for such Servicer to
perform its obligations hereunder;
(h) Neither this Agreement nor any statement, report or other document
furnished or to be furnished pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of material
fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements relating
to such Servicer contained therein not misleading; and
(i) Such Servicer is not in default with respect to any order or decree
of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal
or governmental agency, which default might have consequences that would
materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or operations
of such Servicer or its properties or might have consequences that would
materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder.
Upon discovery by the Issuer, the applicable Servicer, the Supervisory
Servicer or the Trustee of a material breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other parties, with a copy to the Noteholders and
the Rating Agency. Within 30 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of
any such breach of a representation or warranty, the applicable Servicer shall
cure such breach in all material respects; provided that, if such failure shall
be of a nature that it cannot be cured within 30 days, the applicable Servicer
shall give written notice to the Supervisory Servicer and the Trustee, with a
copy to the Noteholders and the Rating Agency, within such 30 day period of the
corrective action it proposes to take and shall thereafter pursue such
corrective action diligently until such default is cured but in no event longer
than 90 days from the date of such notice.

respect to itself that during the term of this Agreement:

(iv) the commencement of any proceedings instituted

condition or operations of such Servicer;
(v) the commencement of any proceedings by or
against such Servicer under any applicable bankruptcy,

SERVICING AGREEMENT - PAGE 4
insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect
or of any proceeding in which a receiver, liquidator,

Agreement is to be, or may be, suspended or revoked, or (B)

ability of such Servicer to service any Loan or to otherwise perform and carry
out its duties, responsibilities and obligations under and in accordance with
this Agreement.
SECTION 2.3. CLOSING CERTIFICATE AND OPINION. On the Closing Date, the
Servicers will deliver to the Issuer, the Placement Agent, the Supervisory
Servicer, the Noteholders and the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, dated the
Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Noteholders, as to the
due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Servicers and
the enforceability thereof and such other matters as reasonably requested by the
Noteholders. On the Closing Date, the Servicers shall also deliver an Officers'
Certificate, dated the Closing Date, signed by two Authorized Officers of each
Servicer, to the effect that:
(a) the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.1 hereof
are true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date;
(b) no Servicer Default exists hereunder; and
(c) the Servicers maintain such errors and omissions insurance and
fidelity bond coverage as is required by this Agreement.
SECTION 2.4. FIDELITY BOND AND INSURANCE. Each Servicer shall maintain
with a responsible company, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond in a
minimum amount of $1,000,000 (the "Fidelity Bond") and an errors and omissions
insurance policy with coverage in an amount deemed reasonable by such Servicer
(but in no event less than $1,000,000) with coverage on all officers, employees
or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such
SERVICING AGREEMENT - PAGE 5
persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Loans
("Servicer Employees"). Any such fidelity bond and errors and omissions
insurance shall protect and insure the Trust Estate and the Trustee, as Trustee
for the Noteholders, its officers, employees and agents against losses,
including losses resulting from forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and
omissions and negligent acts of such Servicer Employees. Such fidelity bond
shall name the Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, as an additional
named insured and shall provide that such bond cannot be cancelled without 30
days' prior notice to the Trustee. No provision of this Section 2.4 requiring
such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve
such Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement.
Upon the request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the
Trustee a certified true copy of such fidelity bond and insurance policy.
Coverage of such Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of
such Servicer and providing the coverage required by this Section shall satisfy
the requirements of this Section. Each Servicer agrees to use its reasonable
best efforts promptly after the Closing Date to cause its errors and omissions
insurance policy or a replacement or additional errors and omissions policy to
name the Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, as an additional insured
with respect to third party claims only.
SECTION 2.5. ACCESS TO CERTAIN DOCUMENTATION AND INFORMATION REGARDING
THE LOANS. Such Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Issuer, the
Supervisory Servicer, the Noteholders, the Beneficial Owners and their
representatives or designees access to the documentation regarding the Loans,
such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and
during normal business hours at the offices of such Servicer provided that such
access shall not be requested more frequently than is reasonable or justifiable;
provided, further, however, following the occurrence and during the continuance
of a Servicer Default, Issuer and the Supervisory Servicer shall have unfettered
access to the documentation relating to the Loans.
Such Servicer shall at all times maintain accurate records and books of
account and an adequate system of audit and internal controls. All accounting
and loan servicing records pertaining to each Loan shall be maintained in such
manner as will permit the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Supervisory Servicer
or their duly authorized representatives and designees to examine and audit and
make legible reproductions of records during reasonable business hours. All such
records shall be maintained until no Notes remain Outstanding or such longer
period as is required by Law, including but not limited to, all transaction
registers and loan ledger histories.
SECTION 2.6. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. Such Servicer will keep in full
effect its existence, rights and franchises, and will obtain and preserve its
qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is
or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this
Agreement or any of the Loans it services and to perform its duties under this
Agreement.
Any Person into which such Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or
any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such
Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of such
Servicer, shall be an established mortgage loan servicing institution that has a
net worth of at least $50,000,000 (unless such Person is then a Servicer
hereunder or is otherwise consented to in writing by the Trustee and the
Required
SERVICING AGREEMENT - PAGE 6
Noteholders) and shall be the successor of such Servicer hereunder, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto except for notice thereof to the Rating Agency, anything herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, provided such successor accepts the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. Such Servicer shall, upon making a determination
that it will enter into any such merger or consolidation, send written notice
thereof to the Trustee, the Noteholders, the Supervisory Servicer and the Rating
Agency which shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days prior written
notice.
SECTION 2.7. INDEMNIFICATION. Such Servicer agrees to indemnify and
hold the Issuer, the Trust Estate, the Placement Agent, the Supervisory
Servicer, the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Beneficial Owners (and each of
their respective officers, directors, employees and agents) each harmless
against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses
("Losses") resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or
grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of any of such Servicer's
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct of such Servicer relating to the performance of
its duties hereunder and servicing the Loans it is responsible for servicing in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Such Servicer agrees to indemnify
and hold each of the Trustee and the Supervisory Servicer and each of their
respective officers, directors, employees and agents harmless against any and
all Losses incurred by such indemnified Person except for such actions to the
extent caused by any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of
such indemnified Person, arising out of the administration of this Agreement,
the Indenture or the Supervisory Servicing Agreement or the exercise or
performance of any of such indemnified Person's rights, powers or duties
hereunder or thereunder. The Issuer, the Placement Agent, the Supervisory
Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the
Servicers if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or
the Loans; provided, however, that failure to so notify shall not relieve the
applicable Servicer of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such
Servicer is materially prejudiced thereby. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, no Person acting as Servicer hereunder shall have any
liability under this Section 2.7 for the indemnification of any claim based upon
or arising from the action or omission of any predecessor Servicer.
ARTICLE III.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF LOANS
SECTION 3.1. GENERAL DUTIES OF THE SERVICERS. (a) For and on behalf of
the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders, each Servicer shall service and
administer the Loans it is responsible for servicing in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the instructions of the Trustee hereunder.
Unless otherwise specified herein with respect to specific obligations of such
Servicer, such Servicer shall service and administer the Loans it is responsible
for servicing in the best interests of, and for the benefit of, the Holders, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard.
(b) Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicers may
waive, modify or vary any term of any Loan or consent to the postponement of
strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any
Obligor if, in such Servicer's reasonable
SERVICING AGREEMENT - PAGE 7
determination, such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not
materially adverse to the interests of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders
and such Servicer would make the same determination if it serviced the Loan for
its own account; provided, however, that such Servicer may not permit any
modification (except in connection with a plan of liquidation or reorganization
of the related Obligor) with respect to any Loan that would change the Loan Rate
or the default rate, forgive the payment of any principal or interest (unless in
connection with the liquidation of the related Loan or in connection with a plan
of liquidation or reorganization of the related Obligor), except as permitted by
Section 3.6, waive any prepayment fee or penalty, release any primary collateral
(the first lien Mortgage) securing the Loan or defer or extend the final
maturity date of such Loan beyond the term of the Notes without the written
consent of all of the Noteholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that any Loan is in default, or in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is
reasonably foreseeable, such Servicer, consistent with the Servicing Standard
and written notice to the Trustee, may also waive, modify or vary any term of
such Loan (including modifications that would change the Loan Rate or the
default rate, forgive the payment of any principal or interest, waive any
prepayment fee or penalty, release any primary collateral securing the Loan or
defer or extend the final maturity date of such Loan beyond the term of the
Notes.) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the
consent of the Trustee and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, such
Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and
deliver on behalf of the Trustee, all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to the Loans it services and with respect to the
Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by such Servicer, the Trustee shall
furnish such Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary
or appropriate to enable such Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.2. NO ASSIGNMENT OR DELEGATION OF DUTIES BY SERVICERS. Each
Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Loans
for which it is responsible for servicing and shall have full power and
authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such
servicing and administration which such Servicer may deem necessary or desirable
and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Such Servicer may not enter
into subservicing agreements (except with the other Servicer or an Affiliate)
for any servicing and administration of Loans without the prior written consent
of the Required Noteholders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld)
and without notice thereof to the Rating Agency and the Trustee. Except as
expressly provided herein, such Servicer shall not assign or transfer (except to
the other Servicer or an Affiliate) any of its rights, benefits or privileges
hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize
or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or
obligations to be performed by such Servicer hereunder, without notice to the
Rating Agency and the Trustee and without the prior written consent of the
Required Noteholders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and
absent such written consent any agreement, instrument or act purporting to
effect any such assignment, transfer, delegation or appointment shall be void.
Such Servicer shall be liable for all acts and omissions of any subservicer,
delegate, subcontractor or other agent appointed pursuant to this Agreement.
Nothing contained in this Section 3.2 shall prohibit or be deemed to prohibit
such Servicer from contracting with third parties to perform duties that are not
duties of such Servicer hereunder that such Servicer deems reasonably necessary
in connection with the servicing of the Loans for which it is responsible for
servicing including, without limitation, title work,
SERVICING AGREEMENT - PAGE 8
surveying, environmental consulting, property management and maintenance,
construction, engineering and architectural consulting.
SECTION 3.3. ESTABLISHMENT OF LOCKBOX ACCOUNT; NOTICES TO OBLIGORS;
DEPOSITS IN LOCKBOX ACCOUNT. (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicers
shall cause to be established and maintained, at the Servicers' expense, if the
Servicers are PMC and/or PMCT, if not, then at the expense of the Trust Estate,
the Lockbox Account with Bank One, NA or another Financial Institution having a
long-term unsecured debt rating of at least A2 or its equivalent by the Rating
Agency at all times that it holds the Lockbox Account (the "Required Rating").
(b) Within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, each
Servicer will prepare and deliver to each of the Obligors with respect to the
Loans for which it is responsible for servicing, with a copy of such
correspondence to the Trustee and to the Noteholders, notices in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C, directing each such Obligor to send all future
Monthly Payments or Principal Prepayments directly to the Lockbox Account. Prior
to the time the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is satisfied in full, the
Servicers will not direct the Obligors to send Monthly Payments or Principal
Prepayments to any other address without the prior written consent of the
Supervisory Servicer and the Trustee.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing notices, if such Servicer receives
any Collections, including, without limitation, any Monthly Payments, late
payment charges or other payments relating to a Loan, such Servicer will receive
such funds in trust for the Trustee and will forward such funds to the Lockbox
Account no later than the Business Day immediately following the date such
Servicer obtains knowledge of such receipt. In addition, any Liquidation
Proceeds received by such Servicer will be deposited into the Lockbox Account no
later than the Business Day immediately following the day such Servicer obtains
knowledge of such receipt.
(d) If the Supervisory Servicer assumes the function of Servicer under
this Agreement, the Supervisory Servicer shall have the right, at any time and
in its sole discretion, to establish and maintain at the expense of the Trust
Estate, a new Lockbox Account at a Financial Institution having the Required
Rating. Within five (5) Business Days of establishing the new Lockbox Account,
the Supervisory Servicer will prepare and deliver to each of the Obligors, with
copies of such correspondence to the Trustee and to the Noteholders, notice, in
the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, directing each such Obligor to send all
future Monthly Payments directly to the new Lockbox Account.
(e) Upon receipt of notice that the institution holding the Lockbox
Account no longer has the Required Rating or that Bank One, NA no longer wishes
to hold the Lockbox Account, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the
Servicers and the Servicers will, within three (3) Business Days, cause to be
established and maintained, at their expense if the Servicers are PMC and/or
PMCT, or if not, at the expense of the Trust Estate, a new Lockbox Account at a
Financial Institution having the Required Rating. Within five (5) Business Days
of establishing the new Lockbox Account, each Servicer will prepare and deliver
to each of the Obligors with respect to the Loans for which it is responsible
for servicing, with copies of such correspondence to the Trustee, and to the
Noteholders, notices, in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, directing each
such Obligor to send all future Monthly Payments directly to the Lockbox
Account.
SERVICING AGREEMENT - PAGE 9
SECTION 3.4. PERMITTED WITHDRAWALS FROM THE LOCKBOX ACCOUNT. The
Trustee shall have the sole right to withdraw funds from the Lockbox Account and
on a daily basis, all deposits to the Lockbox Account shall be withdrawn
automatically and transferred to the Collection Account established under the
Indenture. The Trustee shall cause the entity holding the Lockbox Account to
forward funds held therein as provided herein.
SECTION 3.5. PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES. If such Servicer
receives notice that any taxes, assessments or other charges which are or may
become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property are overdue, such Servicer will give a
written demand to the Obligor to pay such amounts and will verify whether such
payment has been made within sixty (60) days after mailing such notice (but in
any event prior to the time that any taxing authority commences to exercise its
available remedies), subject to any right, pursuant to the Mortgage, of an
Obligor who is contesting the validity of such charges and has paid to such
Servicer a deposit or security in the amount of the contested charge plus
possible costs, interest and penalties or who has otherwise established adequate
reserves against such liability in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles; provided, further, however, that this provision shall not have the
effect of permitting such Servicer to take, or fail to take, any action in
respect of the payments described herein that would adversely affect the
interest of the Trustee in any Mortgaged Property. If such amounts have not been
paid by the Obligor or the Obligor has not deposited or reserved funds therefor
as described in the immediately preceding sentence, such Servicer will promptly
make such payment as a Servicing Expense and request reimbursement from the
Obligor, and from the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.8 hereof.
SECTION 3.6. COLLECTION OF CERTAIN LOAN PAYMENTS. Such Servicer shall
make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and
provisions of the Loans. Consistent with the foregoing, such Servicer shall not,
unless the charging or collection of any such late payment charge, prepayment
fee, assumption fee or any penalty or interest would result in the violation or
contravention of applicable Law, waive or permit to be waived, except pursuant
to such Servicer's customary servicing procedures, any late payment charge or
assumption fee. Such Servicer shall not, unless the charging or collection of
any such prepayment fee or penalty would result in the violation or
contravention of applicable Law, waive or permit to be waived any prepayment fee
or any penalty or interest in connection with the prepayment of a Loan;
provided, however, at any time on or after the date on which the Outstanding
Note Amount is less than 15% of the Outstanding Note Amount on the Closing Date,
such Servicer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to waive the payment
of any prepayment fee or other penalty or interest in connection with the
prepayment of a Loan. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, such Servicer
shall not charge or impose on any Obligor, nor seek to charge or impose on any
Obligor, nor assert a right to receive, any fee, charge, premium or penalty that
if charged or collected would violate or contravene any Law, including usury
laws or the terms of the related Loan.
SECTION 3.7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF SERVICERS' OFFICERS AND OTHERS.
No director, officer, employee or agent of such Servicer shall be under any
liability to the Trustee, the Issuer, the Supervisory Servicer, the Holders or
any other persons for any action taken by them or for their refraining to take
any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment;
except that such provision shall not protect any of them from liability which
would be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, willful misconduct, bad faith
or negligence.
SERVICING AGREEMENT - PAGE 10
SECTION 3.8. SERVICING COMPENSATION; ADVANCES AND EXPENSES. (a) As
compensation for its services hereunder, each Servicer shall be paid the
Servicing Fee with respect to the Loans for which it is responsible for
servicing. Such Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in
connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall be entitled to
reimbursement thereof as described below. The Servicing Fee shall be paid to
such Servicer and Servicing Expenses reimbursed to such Servicer pursuant to
Section 6.4 of the Indenture.
(a) All reasonable and customary "out-of-pocket" costs and expenses
incurred in the performance by such Servicer of its servicing obligations
hereunder ("Servicing Expenses") shall constitute routine servicing
responsibilities of such Servicer, which shall include, but are not limited to,
expenditures for the following, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, (i)
attorneys' fees, trustee fees under any deed of trust, recording, filing and
publication fees, title report and title search costs, costs associated with
environmental audits, court costs, witness fees and all other costs incurred in
respect of any enforcement of a Loan, any judicial foreclosure, or any
foreclosure sale, trustee's sale or acquisition in lieu of foreclosure, or in
respect of the insurance, sale or other disposition of any Mortgaged Property or
REO Property; (ii) repair, restoration, maintenance or other protection of any
Mortgaged Property (whether incurred before or after such property became an REO
Property) in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as
applicable; provided, however, to the extent any Servicing Expense to be
incurred for repair, restoration, maintenance or other protection of any
Mortgaged Property would exceed fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding
principal balance of the Loan, the applicable Servicer must obtain the prior
written consent of the Required Noteholders prior to incurring such Servicing
Expense, and (iii) compliance with such Servicer's obligations under Section 3.5
hereof. Servicing Expenses shall not include any portion of such Servicer's
overhead or normal salary and operating expenses.
SECTION 3.9. THE TRUSTEE'S, THE NOTEHOLDERS' AND SUPERVISORY SERVICER'S
RIGHT TO EXAMINE SERVICER RECORDS AND AUDIT OPERATIONS. The Trustee, the
Noteholders, the Beneficial Owners and the Supervisory Servicer and their
designees shall have the right upon reasonable prior notice, during normal
business hours and as often as reasonably required, to examine and audit (at no
cost to such Servicer unless a Servicer Default has occurred and is then
continuing) any and all of the books, records or other information of such
Servicer directly relating to the Loans, whether held by such Servicer or by
another on behalf of such Servicer, which may be relevant to the performance or
observance by such Servicer of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Agreement. The Trustee, the Noteholders and the Supervisory Servicer shall have
the right upon reasonable prior notice, during normal business hours and as
often as reasonably required to perform ongoing diligence of such Servicer's
operations through loan reviews, re-appraisals (at no cost to such Servicer) or
other reasonable review of such Servicer's operations. No amounts payable in
respect of the foregoing (other than costs associated with re-appraisals) shall
be paid from the Trust Estate unless a Servicer Default exists and is then
continuing.
SECTION 3.10. MAINTENANCE AND RELEASE OF LOAN DOCUMENTATION;
SATISFACTION OF MORTGAGES. (a) Each Servicer shall retain, with respect to each
Loan for which it is responsible for servicing, the originals (or copies if
originals are not available) of all of the instruments and documents relating to
the Loan that would be maintained by a prudent lender servicing such Loan for
its own account (the "Servicer Loan File"), except for those original
instruments and documents constituting a part of the Trustee Loan File that are
required to be held by the Trustee.
SERVICING AGREEMENT - PAGE 11
Each Servicer Loan File shall remain the property of the Issuer pledged
to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders and shall be held by such Servicer
in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders. Upon written
request of the Trustee, such Servicer shall immediately deliver all or any of
such instruments, records and documents in its possession or custody to the
Trustee, together with a list identifying each Loan to which such records
pertain. Each Servicer, at its option, may microfilm, microfiche or otherwise
condense any records or documents constituting a part of, or relating to, any
Loan or any Servicer Loan File for which it is responsible, provided that such
Servicer, upon written request by the Trustee, promptly reproduces in their
entirety any or all such records or documents at no cost to the Trustee.
(b) Each Servicer shall maintain each Servicer Loan File for a period
of four (4) years after the related Loan has been paid in full, is foreclosed
upon or is otherwise liquidated, or such longer period as may be required by
Law. Each Servicer shall maintain an appropriate account record for each Loan
which shall include the permanent loan number for each Loan serviced by such
Servicer as shown on the Loan Schedule. Any system utilized for the Loan account
records shall be capable of producing, for any Loan, an account transcript
itemizing in chronological order the date, amount and application of each
Monthly Payment by due date and other information affecting the amounts paid by
the Obligor, including the latest outstanding Loan Principal Balance.
(c) Each Servicer shall not grant a satisfaction or release of a
Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by
the Mortgage or otherwise prejudice any right the Trustee may have under the
mortgage instruments, subject to Section 4.1 hereof. Upon the prepayment in full
or other liquidation of a Loan, the Servicer shall immediately deposit the
prepayment or Liquidation Proceeds in the Lockbox Account or the Collection
Account and prepare and deliver to the Trustee and Supervisory Servicer a
request for the appropriate instrument releasing the Mortgaged Property from the
lien of the Mortgage, together with an Officer's Certificate (i) certifying that
(A) all amounts that the Obligor is obligated to pay under the Underlying Note,
the Mortgage and any other document pertaining to the Loan, including, but not
limited to, all required payments of principal and interest, have been paid in
full and deposited in the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account; or (B) all
Liquidation Proceeds that such Servicer reasonably believes will be collected
with respect to a Liquidated Loan have been collected and deposited in the
Lockbox Account or the Collection Account; and (ii) requesting that (X) the
Trustee Loan File for such Loan be released by the Trustee to such Servicer and
(Y) the Trustee execute and deliver to such Servicer the appropriate instrument
prepared by such Servicer necessary to release the lien of the Mortgage,
together with the Underlying Note bearing written evidence of cancellation or
assignment thereof, as appropriate.
The Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written request from a Servicing
Officer and approval of the Supervisory Servicer, execute any document provided
to the Trustee by the Servicer or take any other action requested in such
request, that is, in the opinion of such Servicer as evidenced by such request,
required by any state or other jurisdiction to discharge the lien of a Mortgage
upon the satisfaction thereof and the Trustee will sign and post, but will not
guarantee receipt of, any such documents to such Servicer, or such other party
as such Servicer may direct in writing, within five (5) Business Days of the
Trustee's receipt of such certificate or documents. Such certificate or
documents shall establish to the Trustee's satisfaction that the related Loan
SERVICING AGREEMENT - PAGE 12
has been paid in full by or on behalf of the Obligor and that such payment has
been deposited in the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account, as the case may
be.
Upon receipt of the Trustee Loan File, the Servicer shall record the
mortgage release or satisfaction in the proper recording office, deliver the
Underlying Note and/or the recorded original of such instrument of release or
satisfaction to the Obligor, deposit any remaining documents into the Servicer
Loan File, and retain the Servicer Loan File as provided in section (a) and (b)
above. Any costs and expenses associated with the release of any Loan shall be
the expense of the Trust Estate to the extent not paid by the applicable
Obligor.
Any applications for partial release of any part of a Mortgaged
Property must be approved in the manner set forth in Section 3.12 hereof.
(d) From time to time as is appropriate, a Servicer may request the
Trustee to deliver or cause to be delivered to such Servicer all or part of the
documents constituting a part of the Trustee Loan File to facilitate the
servicing or foreclosure of any Loan, the acquisition of any Mortgaged Property
in lieu of foreclosure, the partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the
lien of the Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Underlying Note or
the Mortgage or other documents constituting the Trustee Loan File. To make such
request, such Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate
requesting that possession of all, or any document constituting part of, the
Trustee Loan File be released to such Servicer; such certificate shall certify
the reason for such release. Such Servicer also shall deliver to the Trustee
together with such certificate a Trust Receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, in
substantially the form attached as Exhibit A hereto.
If a Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding
with respect to any Mortgaged Property, then such Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee, for signature by the Trustee, as appropriate, any court pleadings,
requests for Trustee's sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or
to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against the Obligor on the
Underlying Note or the Mortgage, or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to
enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Underlying Note or the
Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Such Servicer shall also
deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate 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 the Mortgage except for the termination of
such lien upon completion of the proposed foreclosure. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, such Servicer shall cause possession of any Trustee Loan File or
documents therein that have been released by the Trustee to be returned to the
Trustee when the need for such file or documents no longer exists, but in any
event within thirty (30) calendar days after release by the Trustee unless (i)
the Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Loan
have been deposited in the Collection Account or (ii) the Trustee Loan File or
documents so released have been delivered to an attorney, a public trustee or
other public official, as required by Law, to initiate or pursue legal action or
other proceedings to foreclose the applicable Mortgage, and such Servicer has
delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying as to the name and
address of the Person to which the Trustee Loan File, or documents therefrom,
have been delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.
SERVICING AGREEMENT - PAGE 13
(e) Each Servicer shall, at its expense if the Servicer is PMC or PMCT
or an Affiliate of either of them, if not, at the expense of the Trust Estate,
prepare and deliver to the Trustee any instruments required in connection with
substitution of a Loan pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Indenture and will pay any
recording or filing costs associated therewith.
SECTION 3.11. NOTICE OF LIENS AND OTHER ACTIONS. Such Servicer shall,
at all times, exercise reasonable efforts to prevent any Lien or judicial levy
upon or writ of attachment against a Mortgaged Property of which such Servicer
is notified or otherwise has knowledge, which is, or may be, superior to the
lien of the Mortgage.
SECTION 3.12. WAIVERS, RELEASES, CONDEMNATIONS, EASEMENTS AND
ALTERATIONS. Any applications for partial releases of real property and releases
of personal property which are part of a Mortgaged Property, the creation or
release of easements, waivers of rights under any Mortgage, consent to
alteration, removal or demolition of improvements and other matters affecting
the Mortgage or the Mortgaged Property, other than those which are contractually
provided for in the Underlying Note or related loan documents, shall be subject
to the prior written approval of the Trustee which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld and which shall be provided only upon written
certification by such Servicer that such action is consistent with the Servicing
Standard and the Mortgage and the ability to collect under the Underlying Note
will not be adversely affected by such release.
SECTION 3.13. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF SERVICERS AND OTHERS. Each
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of such Servicer may rely
on any document of any kind which it in good faith reasonably believes to be
genuine and to have been adopted or signed by the proper authorities respecting
any matters arising hereunder. Subject to the terms of Section 2.7 herein, such
Servicer shall have no obligation to appear with respect to, prosecute or defend
any legal action which is not incidental to such Servicer's duty to service the
Loans in accordance with this Agreement. The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold
such Servicer harmless from any loss, claim, demand, liability or expense
(including, without limitation, past acts of predecessor Servicers and fees and
expenses of legal counsel) arising from or relating to the performance of its
duties under this Agreement which do not result from such Servicer's negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct.
SECTION 3.14. PROPERTY ADDRESS CHANGE. Each Servicer shall note in its
records and notify the Trustee of all changes of address of an Obligor or of a
Mortgaged Property of which such Servicer is notified or of which such Servicer
has knowledge.
ARTICLE IV.
SPECIFIC SERVICING PROCEDURES
SECTION 4.1. ASSUMPTION AGREEMENTS. When a Mortgaged Property has been
or is about to be conveyed by the Obligor, the Servicer shall, at its option, to
the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance, either
(i) exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the related Loan under any
"due-on-sale" clause contained in the related Mortgage or Underlying Note;
provided, however, that such Servicer shall not exercise any such right if the
"due-on-sale" clause, in the reasonable belief of such Servicer, is not
SERVICING AGREEMENT - PAGE 14
enforceable under applicable law or if such enforcement would materially
increase the risk of default or delinquency on, or materially decrease the
security for, such Loan, or (ii) enter into an assumption and modification
agreement with the person to whom such property has been or is about to be
conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Underlying Note
and, unless prohibited by applicable law or the Mortgage, the Obligor shall
remain liable thereon. Such Servicer may enter into an assumption agreement with
the transferee only if (a) the transferee qualifies for credit under the
customary credit policies of such Servicer, (b) an officer of such Servicer has
examined and approved all instruments as are necessary to carry out the
assumption transaction and approved such instruments as to form and substance,
(c) the execution and delivery of such instruments by all necessary parties will
not cause the unpaid principal balance and any accrued interest thereon for the
Loan to be uncollectible in whole or in part, and (d) upon closing the
assumption transaction (i) the Mortgage will continue to be a first lien upon
the Mortgaged Property, and (ii) the Loan Rate and Monthly Payment for the Loan
will not be changed nor will the term of the Note be extended or shortened. For
each proposed assumption transaction, such Servicer shall deliver an Officer's
Certificate to the Trustee certifying that each of the applicable requirements
specified in the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied together
with the assumption instruments requiring execution by the Trustee. Such
certificate shall also indicate whether the seller/transferor of the Mortgaged
Property will be released from liability on the Loan and that such Servicer has
made a good faith determination that any such release will not adversely affect
the collectibility of the Loan. Such Servicer shall perform substantially the
same level of due diligence with respect to the transferee as was performed on
the seller/transferor in connection with the origination of the Loan and shall
release the seller/transferor from liability only if any applicable Law requires
that the transferor-Obligor be released from liability on the Loan or such
Servicer has made a good faith determination that the applicable requirements
set forth above have been satisfied.
Each Servicer is also authorized with the prior approval of the Trustee
to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such transferee,
pursuant to which the original Obligor is released from liability and such
person is substituted as Obligor and becomes liable under the Underlying Note.
Such Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption
agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original of such
substitution or assumption agreement, which original shall be added by the
Trustee to the related Trustee's Loan File and shall, for all purposes, be
considered a part of such Trustee's Loan File to the same extent as all other
documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by such
Servicer for consenting to any such conveyance or entering into an assumption or
substitution agreement shall be retained by or paid to such Servicer as
additional servicing compensation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this
Agreement, such Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a
Loan by operation of law or any assumption which such Servicer may be restricted
by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
SECTION 4.2. SERVICING DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS; LIQUIDATION OF LOANS. (a)
Each Servicer shall exercise diligence in obtaining payment of Monthly Payments
when due under the terms of each Loan and shall use reasonable efforts to
contact any delinquent Obligor.
SERVICING AGREEMENT - PAGE 15
If any delinquent Obligor shall be or become a bankrupt or otherwise
become the subject of any insolvency or similar proceeding, such Servicer shall
notify the Trustee of such event and, thereafter, shall carry out all reasonable
actions necessary for the benefit and protection of the interests of the Trustee
and the Holders, including, but not limited to, retention of counsel to
represent the Trustee in any bankruptcy or other court proceedings relating to
such Obligor or the Mortgaged Property.
If any Loan previously reported on a Determination Date Report as more
than ninety (90) days delinquent is subsequently reported as being brought
current, the Servicer will verify with the relevant Obligor that the Obligor
paid the delinquent payments, by sending the Obligor the letter in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit H.
(b) In the event that any payment due under any Loan and not postponed
pursuant to Section 3.1 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in
the event the Obligor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under
such Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the
Servicer shall take such other action as it shall deem to be in the best
interests of the Trustee and the Holders. The Servicer shall foreclose upon or
otherwise effect the ownership in the name of the Trustee of Mortgaged
Properties relating to defaulted Loans as to which no satisfactory arrangements
can be made for collection of delinquent payments in accordance with the
customary collection policies of such Servicer and the provisions of Section
3.1. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, such Servicer
shall exercise collection and foreclosure procedures with the same degree of
care and skill in its exercise or use as it would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs and shall in any event, comply
with the Servicing Standard. Such Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to
realize upon such defaulted Loans in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
Such Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by
it in any foreclosure proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled
to reimbursement thereof as contemplated in Sections 3.8 and 4.3 hereof.
No modification, recast or extension of a Loan other than as provided
above and in Section 3.1 is permitted without the prior written consent of the
Trustee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2, no
Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trustee, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property
by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or take any other action with
respect to any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the
Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, could, in the reasonable judgment of such
Servicer, made in accordance with the Servicing Standard, be considered to hold
title to, to be a "mortgagee-in possession" of, or to be an "owner" or
"operator" of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any
comparable law, unless such Servicer has previously determined in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, based on a Phase I Environmental Assessment (and
any additional environmental testing that such Servicer deems necessary and
prudent) of such Mortgaged Property conducted by an Independent Person who
regularly conducts Phase I Environmental Assessments and performed during the
twelve-month period preceding any such acquisition of title or other action,
that the Mortgaged Property is in material compliance with applicable
environmental laws and regulations or, if not, that it would maximize the
recovery to the Noteholders on a present value basis to acquire title to or
possession of the Mortgaged Property and to effect such compliance.
SERVICING AGREEMENT - PAGE 16
(c) If the environmental testing contemplated by Section 4.2(b) above
establishes that any of the conditions set forth therein have not been satisfied
with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a defaulted Loan, the Servicer
shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, prepare a written report to
the Trustee and the Noteholders summarizing the environmental condition of the
Mortgaged Property and proposing a course of action to pursue with respect to
such Mortgaged Property. Such Servicer shall not pursue any such proposed course
of action without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.
(d) Each Servicer shall report to the Trustee monthly in writing as to
any actions taken by such Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property as to
which the environmental testing contemplated in Section 4.2(b) above has
revealed that any of the conditions set forth thereon have not been satisfied,
in each case until the earliest to occur of satisfaction of all such conditions
and the release of the Lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property.
(e) If foreclosure has been approved as provided above, such Servicer
shall initiate or cause to be initiated the foreclosure action according to such
procedures as are authorized by Law and the practices in the locality where the
Mortgaged Property is located. In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property
is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or
certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of
the Holders.
(f) Each Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance with
the Servicing Standard, the advisability of seeking to obtain a deficiency
judgment if the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located and the terms
of the Loan permit such an action and shall, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, seek such deficiency judgment if it deems advisable.
(g) After a Loan has become a Liquidated Loan, the applicable Servicer
shall promptly prepare and forward to the Trustee who shall promptly forward to
the Noteholders, a liquidation report detailing the Liquidation Proceeds
received from the Liquidated Loan, expenses incurred with respect thereto and
any Realized Loss incurred in connection therewith.
(h) If the requirements of Sections 4.2(b) and (c) hereof have been
satisfied, the Servicer may accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure, provided that
(i) marketable title as evidenced by a policy of title insurance can be conveyed
to and acquired by the Trustee or its designee; (ii) no cash consideration is to
be paid to the Obligor by the Trustee; and (iii) such Servicer has obtained from
the Obligor a written acknowledgment that the deed is being accepted as an
accommodation to the Obligor and on the condition that the Mortgaged Property
will be transferred to the Trustee or its designee free and clear of all claims,
liens, encumbrances, attachments, reservations or restrictions except for those
to which the Mortgaged Property was subject at the time the Mortgaged Property
became subject to the Mortgage. Title shall be conveyed directly from the
Obligor to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders.
(i) Such Servicer will indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the
Noteholders, the Beneficial Owners, the Supervisory Servicer and their
respective directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and
all claims, demands, losses, penalties, liabilities, costs, damages, injuries
and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, suffered or sustained by such parties, either directly or indirectly,
relating to or arising
SERVICING AGREEMENT - PAGE 17
out of the violation of an Environmental Law with respect to a Mortgaged
Property resulting from such Servicer's failure to perform its obligations
hereunder, including without limitation any expenses and other costs incurred in
connection with the defense of any such action, proceeding or claim. This
obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the Indenture and
the Supervisory Servicing Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the
Trustee or the Supervisory Servicer, as the case may be.
SECTION 4.3. FORECLOSURE EXPENSES. The applicable Servicer shall
prepare a written estimate of the amount of attorneys' fees, trustee's fees and
other costs in respect of any foreclosure or acquisition in lieu of foreclosure
and shall send copies of such estimate to the Trustee and the Noteholders. Such
Servicer shall arrange payment of attorneys' fees, trustees' fees and other
foreclosure costs at the commencement of foreclosure proceedings.
Such Servicer may reimburse itself for any Servicing Expenses paid by
such Servicer, made in connection with such Loan or such foreclosure or other
action, out of amounts received by such Servicer in connection with liquidation
of the Loan, prior to remittance of any such amounts to the Lockbox Account.
SECTION 4.4. TITLE, MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSITION OF REO PROPERTY. (a)
Upon the acquisition of REO Property by a Servicer by foreclosure or conveyance
in lieu of foreclosure, such Servicer shall notify the Trustee promptly that the
REO Property has been acquired and shall thereafter: (i) deliver the deed or
certificate of sale to the Trustee, or its nominee; (ii) manage, conserve and
protect the REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary
in the locality where such REO Property is located including the rental of the
same, or any part thereof, as such Servicer deems to be in the best interest of
the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders; (iii) pay all costs such as taxes
and assessments relating to the REO Property; (iv) process any claims for
redemption and otherwise comply with any redemption procedures required by Law;
(v) sell or otherwise dispose of the REO Property and remit the proceeds to the
Trustee; and (vi) timely file any and all federal, state and local tax or
information returns or reports as are required as a result of the acquisition or
disposition of REO Property and perform any withholding required in connection
therewith. Such Servicer shall not acquire any REO Property relating to a
Charged-Off Loan that is required to be released from the lien of the Indenture
and disposed of by the Issuer on the next Payment Date. If any REO Property is
expected to be acquired, such Servicer shall inform the Issuer, the Noteholders
and the Trustee and the Issuer shall comply with Section 5.14 of the Indenture.
Each Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO
Property for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its prudent and prompt
disposition and sale. Such Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent
selected by such Servicer, manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO
Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates
other foreclosed property for its own account and in the same manner that
similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. Such
Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same) on
such terms and conditions as such Servicer deems to be in the best interest of
the Holders.
(b) Until the REO Property is disposed of, such Servicer shall (i) take
appropriate action to secure the REO Property and maintain proper surveillance
over it; (ii) advance all costs
SERVICING AGREEMENT - PAGE 18
such as taxes and assessments; (iii) maintain the REO Property so as to preserve
its value and prevent any additional deferred maintenance; and (iv) submit
monthly statements for services to the Trustee, together with additional
documentation including statements of income and expenses (accompanied by copies
of paid invoices for every expense item).
(c) Until the REO Property is disposed of, such Servicer shall maintain
for such REO Property, a standard hazard insurance policy providing fire and
extended coverage in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of all
improvements on the Mortgaged Property, which requirement may be satisfied by a
master force placed or blanket insurance policy insuring against hazard losses.
If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and
such flood insurance has been made available) such Servicer shall maintain a
flood hazard insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines
of the Federal Insurance Administration with an insurance carrier generally

entitled to payment for the unpaid Servicing Fees and reimbursement for the
unreimbursed related Servicing Expenses from proceeds received in connection
with the disposition prior to remittance of any proceeds to the Trustee.
(g) Disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by such Servicer
at such price and upon such terms and conditions as such Servicer, in its
judgment, believes to be in the best interests of the Holders, subject to and in
accordance with Section 4.2. Upon the sale of any Mortgaged Property, such
Servicer shall remit the net cash proceeds remaining after payment of expenses
of the sale to the Collection Account.

knowledge of such failure or the Servicers' receipt of written notice of such
failure or breach as the case may be; provided, however, if such failure shall
be of a nature that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, such failure
shall not constitute a Servicer Default hereunder if within such 30-day period
the Servicers give notice to the Trustee and the Supervisory Servicer of the
corrective action it proposes to take, which corrective action is agreed in
writing by the Trustee to be satisfactory and the Servicers shall thereafter
pursue such corrective action diligently until such default is cured but in no
event longer than ninety (90) days;
(c) A decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of

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 payments of its obligations;

SERVICING AGREEMENT - PAGE 24
(g) A material adverse change occurs in the financial condition of a
Servicer, which change materially impairs the ability of the Servicer to perform

Transaction Document proves to have been incorrect in any material respect when
made, which has a material adverse effect on the Noteholders and which continues
to have a material adverse effect or be incorrect in any material respect for a
period of thirty (30) days after written notice of such inaccuracy, requiring it
to be remedied, has been given to the Servicers by the Trustee, the Supervisory
Servicer or any Noteholder; provided, however, if such inaccuracy is of a nature
that it cannot be remedied within such 30-day period and the Servicer gives
notices to the Trustee and the Supervisory Servicer of the corrective action it
proposes to take, which corrective action is agreed in writing by the Trustee to
be satisfactory and the Servicer shall thereafter pursue such corrective action
diligently until such default is cured but in no event longer than ninety (90)

notice, all authority and power shall pass to and be vested in the Supervisory
Servicer pursuant to and under this Section; and, without limitation, the
Supervisory Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Servicers, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all

for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every
