Certificateholders and the Trustee. The Servicer, by its execution of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, agrees to, and shall, retain possession of the
Contract File and the Servicer Contract File pertaining to each of the Contracts
on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee.
The Servicer (or a custodian appointed by the Servicer) shall hold each
Contract and any other documents constituting each Contract File and each
Servicer Contract File that are in the possession of the Servicer or that at any
time come into the possession of the Servicer in trust as custodian for the
Holders of the Certificates, and the Servicer hereby acknowledges and declares
that it holds and will hold or has
-31-
agreed to hold such documents as custodian and as the bailee for, and for the
exclusive use and benefit of, the Holders of the Certificates in accordance with
the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and shall make disposition
thereof only in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The
Servicer shall segregate and maintain continuous custody of all documents
constituting the Contract Files in its possession in secure and fireproof-rated
locked files or vaults in accordance with customary standards for such custody.
From time to time, the Company or the Seller shall deliver to the
Servicer for inclusion in the appropriate Contract File, the original Contract
Documents for any Contract to the extent that copies of such original documents
were initially included in such Contract File or in the event that only a copy
of an application for an original Contract Document was initially included among
the related Contract Documents. In addition, the Servicer shall add to the
appropriate Contract File any additional original documents received by the
Servicer that evidence a modification of the related Contract approved by the
Company.
The Servicer shall maintain custody of the Contract Files and Servicer
Contract Files for each Series in its possession at its offices where the
Contract Files and Servicer Contract Files are presently maintained or at such
other offices of the Servicer in the State of Florida as the Servicer may
identify to the Trustee by written notice provided at least ten days prior to
the Servicer's change of the location of its custody of the Contract Files and

of the Contract Files and Servicer Contract Files for any Series outside of the
State of Florida without first giving 30 days' prior written notice of such
relocation to each applicable Rating Agency and the Trustee and obtaining each
such Rating Agency's written confirmation that such relocation will not result
in any downgrading of any Certificates of such Series. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Servicer may temporarily move individual Contract Files or any
portions thereof without notice to the Trustee or any Rating Agency as may be
necessary for it to conduct collection and other servicing activities in
accordance with its customary practices and procedures. In acting as custodian
of the Contract Files, the Servicer agrees not to assert any ownership interests

Files have been sold and assigned to the appropriate Trust.

operations department will complete a review of all of the Contract Files

Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a Servicer Custodial
Certification signed by one of its Officers confirming that it is in possession
of the Contract File for each Contract identified on Schedule I to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, subject to any exceptions noted in a schedule to such
certificate. Such certification shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1
hereto.
In giving its Servicer's Custodial Certification with respect to a
Series, the Servicer shall be under no duty or obligation (A) to inspect, review
or examine any such documents, instruments, securities or other
-32-
papers to determine that they or the signatures thereon are genuine,
enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have
actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on
their face or (B) to determine whether any Contract File should include any
assumption agreement, modification agreement or waiver agreement.
If the Servicer discovers any discrepancy between any Contract and the
Contract Schedule, or that any required Contract Document is defective or
missing from the related Contract File, in either case in a manner that is
materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, it shall
immediately provide written notice to the Seller (unless the Seller is the
Servicer) and the Trustee of such discrepancy, incompleteness or defect. If the
Seller does not cure such discrepancy or such incomplete or defective Contract
File within 90 days after discovery or its receipt of written notice of such
discrepancy, incompleteness or defect, the Servicer shall take all steps within
its power to enforce the Trustee's right to require the Seller to repurchase the
affected Contract (or in the alternative to substitute for such Contract, if the
substitution will take place within two years after the Closing Date) pursuant
to the applicable Sales Agreement or, in the alternative (if the discrepancy
consists of an overstatement in the Contract Schedule of the Cut-off Date
Principal Balance of a Contract), to deposit cash into the related Certificate
Account in the amount of such overstatement of the Cut-off Date Principal
Balance of a Contract in the Contract Schedule (as described in the applicable
Sales Agreement).

Property.

prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall cause to be filed in all
appropriate UCC filing offices, UCC- 1 financing statements describing
the Trust Estate (including the Contracts and payments due thereon
after the Cut-off Date) and proceeds thereof as "collateral" and (1)
naming the Seller as "Debtor," the Company as "Secured Party," and the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust as "Assignee," and (2) naming the
Company as "Debtor" and the Trustee on behalf of the Trust as "Secured
Party." The Servicer shall cause to be filed all necessary continuation
statements for each of the aforementioned UCC-1 financing statements.
(2) Perfection of Trustee's Security Interest in Manufactured
Homes. So long as the Contract Documents for each Contract contain
evidence of perfection of either the Seller's, the Company's or the
Trustee's security interest in the related Manufactured Home, neither
the Seller nor the Company shall be required to cause notations to be
made on any certificate or other document of title relating to such
Manufactured Home or to execute any transfer instrument (including,
without limitation, any UCC-3 assignments) relating to such
Manufactured Home, except under the limited circumstances described in
Section 2.06(b) below. Subject to the limitation described in the
preceding sentence, the Servicer shall take all steps necessary, at its
own expense, to maintain perfection of the Trustee's lien on each
Manufactured Home to the extent the Servicer receives notice of
relocation, re-registration or sale thereof.
-33-
(3) Real Estate Assignments. The Contract Documents for each Land
Secured Contract are required to contain evidence that the Seller is
Mortgages of record with respect to each Mortgage to the Real Property
underlying such Land Secured Contract. Neither the Seller nor the
Company will be required to prepare, deliver or record any assignments
to the Company or the Trustee in recordable form for the Mortgages
related to such Land Secured Contracts. However, on or before the
Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Trustee an executed power
of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit 9 hereto, authorizing
the Trustee to execute and record assignments of Mortgages securing
Land Secured Contracts from the Seller to the Trustee in the event that
recordation of such assignments becomes necessary for foreclosure of
the Mortgage on the related Real Property by or on behalf of the
Trustee. Pursuant to such power of attorney, at the Servicer's
instruction, the Trustee shall execute any such assignments as are
provided to the Trustee by the Servicer. After execution of any such
assignments, the Trustee shall redeliver such assignments to the
Servicer at the Servicer's expense. Any expenses incurred by the
Servicer in connection with the foregoing or in connection with its
recordation of assignments in preparation for a foreclosure on a Land
Secured Contract shall constitute Liquidation Expenses.
SECTION 2.03. THE MORTGAGE LOANS.

Custodian on or before the Closing Date, a Trustee Mortgage Loan File containing
each of the documents listed in the definition thereof. If any Mortgage or an
Assignment of a Mortgage to the Trustee or any prior Assignment is in the
process of being recorded on the Closing Date, the Company shall cause each such
original recorded document or certified copy thereof, to be delivered to the
Trustee or its Custodian promptly following its recordation. The Company shall
also cause to be delivered to the Trustee any other original Mortgage Loan
Document to be included in the Trustee Mortgage Loan File if a copy thereof
initially was delivered.
In lieu of recording an Assignment of any Mortgage for any Mortgage
Loan, the Company may deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trust or its
Custodian the Assignment of the Mortgage from the Seller to the Trustee in a
form suitable for recordation, together with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that recording is not required to protect the Trustee's right, title and
interest in and to the related Mortgage Loan or, in case a court should
recharacterize the sale of the Mortgage Loans as a financing, to perfect a first
priority security interest in favor of the Trust in the related Mortgage Loan.
In the event that the Servicer receives notice that recording is required to
protect the right, title and interest of the Trust in and to any such Mortgage
Loan for which recordation of an Assignment has not previously been required,
the Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall within five
Business Days of its receipt of such notice deliver, or cause to be delivered,
each previously unrecorded Assignment to the Servicer for recordation.
-34-

the Trustee acknowledges and declares that it or the Custodian holds and will
hold or has agreed to hold all documents delivered to it from time to time with
respect to a Mortgage Loan underlying such Series and all other assets delivered
to it or its Custodian and that are included in the definition of "Trust Estate"
in the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement in trust for the exclusive use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
(b) Custody of Servicer Mortgage Loan Files. The Servicer has in its
possession a Servicer Mortgage Loan File for each Mortgage Loan containing each
of the documents listed in the definition thereof. All such documents shall be
held by the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders.
(c) Review of Trustee Mortgage Loan Files.
(1) Initial Certification. The Trustee shall, for the benefit of
the Certificateholders for any Series, review each related Trustee
Mortgage Loan File prior to the related Closing Date to ascertain that
all documents required to be included in the Trustee Mortgage Loan File
are included therein, and shall deliver to the Company and the Servicer
on such Closing Date an Initial Certification with respect to each
underlying Mortgage Loan (except any Mortgage Loan that has been
liquidated or purchased from the related Trust prior to such Closing
Date) to the effect that, except as specifically noted on a schedule of
exceptions thereto, (A) all documents required to be contained in the
Trustee Mortgage Loan File are in its possession, (B) such documents
have been reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and relate to
such Mortgage Loan, and (C) based on its examination and only as to the
foregoing documents, the information set forth on the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set forth in the Trustee
Mortgage Loan File.
It is understood that before making the Initial Certification for
any Series, the Trustee shall examine the related Mortgage Loan
Documents to confirm that:
(A) each Mortgage Note and Mortgage bears an original
signature or signatures purporting to be that of the Person or
Persons named as the maker and mortgagor/trustor or, if photocopies
are permitted, that such copies bear a reproduction of such
signature or signatures;
(B) except for the endorsement to the Trustee, neither the
Mortgage nor any Assignment, on the face or the reverse side(s)
thereof, contain evidence of any unsatisfied claims, liens,
security interests, encumbrances or restrictions on transfer;
(C) the principal amount of the indebtedness secured by the
related Mortgage is identical to the original principal amount of
the related Mortgage Note;
-35-
(D) the Assignment of the related Mortgage from the Seller to
the Trustee on behalf of the Trust is in the form required pursuant
to clause (c) of the definition of Mortgage Loan Documents, and
bears an original signature of the Seller and any other necessary
party (or signatures purporting to be that of the Seller and any
such other party) or, if photocopies are permitted, that such
copies bear a reproduction of such signature or signatures;
(E) if intervening Assignments are included in the Trustee
Mortgage Loan File, each such intervening Assignment bears an
original signature of the related mortgagee and/or the assignee
(and any other necessary party) (or signatures purporting to be
that of the Seller and any such other party) or, if photocopies are
permitted, that such copies bear a reproduction of such signature
or signatures;
(F) if any of a Title Insurance Policy, certificate of title
insurance or a written commitment to issue a Title Insurance Policy
is delivered, such policy, certificate or written commitment is for
an amount not less than the original principal amount of the
related Mortgage Note and such Title Insurance Policy insures that
the related Mortgage creates a first lien, senior in priority to
all other deeds of trust, mortgages, deeds to secure debt,
financing statements and security agreements and to any mechanics'
liens, judgment liens or writs of attachment (or if the Title
Insurance Policy or certificate of title insurance has not been
issued, the written commitment for such insurance obligates the
insurer to issue such policy for an amount not less than the
original principal amount of the related Mortgage Note).
(2) Final Certification. Prior to the first anniversary date
of the Closing Date for a Series, the Trustee shall deliver to the
Company and the Servicer a Final Certification evidencing the
completeness of the Trustee Mortgage Loan File for each Mortgage Loan,
with any applicable exceptions noted on such Final Certification.
(3) Certifications Generally. In giving each of the Initial
Certification and the Final Certification with respect to a Series, the
Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation (A) to inspect, review or
examine any such documents, instruments, securities or other papers to
determine that they or the signatures thereon are genuine, enforceable,
or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually
been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on
their face or (B) to determine whether any Trustee Mortgage Loan File
should include any assumption agreement, modification agreement,
written assurance or substitution agreement.
(4) Recordation Report. No later than the fifth Business Day of
each third month, commencing the fourth month following the month in
which the Closing Date for a Series occurs, the Trustee shall deliver
to the Servicer a Recordation Report for such Series, dated as of the
first
-36-
day of such month, identifying those Mortgage Loans underlying such
Series for which it has not yet received (A) an original recorded
Mortgage or a copy thereof certified to be true and correct by the
public recording office in possession of such Mortgage or (B) an
original recorded Assignment of the Mortgage to the Trustee and any
required intervening Assignments or a copy thereof certified to be a
true and correct copy by the public recording office in possession of
such Assignment; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be
required to provide a Recordation Report with respect to the
recordation of an Assignment for any Mortgage Loan for which there has
been delivered an Assignment in recordable form pursuant to Section
2.03(a) hereof unless the Trustee has delivered such Assignment to the
Servicer for recordation, or such recording has been arranged to the
satisfaction of the Trustee, in which case, the Trustee shall deliver a
Recordation Report as to the status of such Assignment in accordance
with this paragraph commencing in the fourth month following the
delivery of such Assignment to the Servicer for recordation.
(5) Custodians. In lieu of taking possession of the Trustee
Mortgage Loan Files and reviewing such files itself, the Trustee may,
in accordance with Section 8.11 hereof, appoint one or more Custodians
on behalf of the Trust to hold the Trustee Mortgage Loan Files for a
Series on its behalf and to review them as provided in this Section
2.03. The Company shall, upon notice of the appointment of a Custodian,
deliver or cause to be delivered all documents to the Custodian that
would otherwise be deliverable to the Trustee. In such event, the
Trustee shall obtain from each such Custodian, within the specified
times, the Initial and Final Certifications and the Recordation Reports
with respect to those Mortgage Loans held and reviewed by such
Custodian and may deliver such Certifications and Reports to the
Company and the Servicer in satisfaction of the Trustee's obligation to
prepare such Certification and Reports. The Trustee shall notify the
Custodian of any notices delivered to the Trustee with respect to those
Trustee Mortgage Loan Files.
(6) Recordation with Respect to Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding any
provisions in these Standard Terms to the contrary, the Company shall
cause Assignments of Mortgages to the Trustee to be prepared and filed
with respect to all Mortgages not later than ninety (90) calendar days
following the Closing Date, which recordation shall be an expense of
the Company, or shall deliver to the Trustee on or before such date an
Officer's Certificate stating that any delay in such filing has been
caused by the applicable recording office and the Company shall take
reasonable steps to cause such Assignments to be filed as soon as
practical. For each Mortgage for which an Assignment of Mortgage is not
duly and timely recorded as provided above (unless such filing was not
completed due to a delay caused by the applicable recording office),
the Company shall repurchase such Mortgage pursuant to the provisions
of 2.06 hereof. As evidence of recordation, the Trustee shall be
entitled to rely upon, among other things (i) a certification from a
title insurance company, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel, (iii) a recorded
Assignment or (iv) a clerk's receipt as to the recordation of any or
all of the Assignments.
-37-
SECTION 2.04. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE TRUSTEE.
As of the Closing Date, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, represents
and warrants that (1) it acquired the Assets on behalf of the Trust from the
Company in good faith, for value, and without notice or knowledge of any adverse
claim, lien, charge, encumbrance or security interest (including, without
limitation, federal tax liens or liens arising under ERISA), (2) except as
permitted in the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement and these Standard
Terms, it has not and will not, in its capacity as Trustee hereunder, assert any
claim or interest in the Assets, and (3) it has not knowingly encumbered or
transferred its right, title or interest in the Assets. The representations and
warranties made hereunder are made by the(A) Trustee without any independent
investigation and without recourse, representation or warranty, except that the
Trustee believes such representations and warranties to be true.
SECTION 2.05. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AS TO ASSETS.
The Company represents and warrants to the Trustee and the related
Trust, effective as of the Closing Date, that the following information is true
and correct in all material respects:
(a) The information pertaining to each Asset set forth in the Asset
Schedule was true and correct at the date or dates respecting which such
information was furnished.
(b) The Company is the owner of, or holder of a perfected first
priority security interest in, each Asset.
(c) The Company acquired its ownership of, or security interest in,
each such Asset in good faith without notice of any adverse claim.
(d) Except for the sale to the Trust the Company has not assigned any
interest or participation in each such Asset (or, if any such interest or
participation has been assigned, it has been released).
(e) The Company has full right to sell the Trust Estate to the Trust.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.05 shall survive delivery of the respective Contract
Files to the Servicer as custodian for the Trustee and of the respective Trustee
Mortgage Loan Files to the Trustee or its Custodian and shall inure to the
benefit of the Trustee notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement
or assignment. Upon the discovery by the Company, the Servicer or the Trustee of
a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the
obligations of the Company set forth in Section 2.06 to cure, substitute for or
repurchase a Contract constitute the sole remedies available to the
Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf respecting a breach of the
representations and warranties contained in this Section 2.05. It is further
understood and agreed that the Company shall be
-38-
deemed not to have made the representations and warranties in this Section 2.05
with respect to, and to the extent of, representations and warranties made, as
to the matters covered in this Section 2.05, by the Seller in the related Sales
Agreement assigned to the Trustee.
SECTION 2.06. PURCHASE OR SUBSTITUTION OF CERTAIN ASSETS.
(a) Breaches of Representations and Warranties and Incomplete or
Defective Asset Files.
(1) Seller Breach. Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any
defective document in an Asset File, or of any breach by the Seller of
any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder or under the Sales
Agreement, which defect or breach materially and adversely affects the
value of any Asset or the interest of the Trust therein (it being
understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have
materially and adversely affected the value of the related Asset or the
interest of the Trust therein if the Trust incurs a loss as a result of
such defect or breach), the Trustee shall promptly notify the Servicer
of such defect or breach and direct the Servicer to request the Seller
of such Asset to cure such defect or breach. The Seller must cure such
defect or breach, or purchase such Asset from the Trustee on behalf of
the related Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, within 90
days after the date on which the Seller was notified of such defect or
breach. In lieu of purchasing any such Asset as provided above, if so
provided in the related Sales Agreement, the Seller may cause such
Asset to be removed from the Trust (in which case it shall become a
Replaced Asset) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Assets
in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section
2.06(g) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach
is a Qualification Defect and one or more REMIC elections have been
made with respect to the related Trust, such cure, purchase or
substitution must take place within 75 days of the Defect Discovery
Date. It is understood and agreed that enforcement of the obligation of
the Seller to cure or to purchase (or to substitute for) any Asset as
to which a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to
which such a breach has occurred and is continuing, shall constitute
the sole remedy respecting such defect or breach available to the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Servicer shall use its
best efforts to enforce the Seller's obligations under its Sales
Agreement to repurchase or substitute for Assets affected by breaches
of the Seller's representations and warranties contained in its Sales
Agreement.
(2) Servicer Breach. In addition to taking any action required
pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof, upon discovery or notice of any breach
by the Servicer of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder
not covered by Section 2.06(a)(1) above which materially and adversely
affects the value of any Asset or the interest of the Trust therein (it
being understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have
materially and adversely affected the value of the related Asset or the
interest of the Trust therein if the Trust incurs a loss as a result of
such defect or breach), the Trustee promptly shall notify the Servicer
of such breach. Upon receipt of such notification, the Servicer shall
cure such breach or shall purchase such Asset from the Trustee on
behalf of the related Trust within 90 days after the date on which the
Servicer was notified of
-39-
such breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach is
a Qualification Defect and one or more REMIC elections have been made
with respect to the related Trust, such cure or purchase must take
place within 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date.
(3) The Company Breach. Within 90 days after the earlier of
discovery or receipt of notice by the Company of the breach of any of
its representations or warranties set forth in Section 2.05 above with
respect to any Asset, which breach materially and adversely affects the
value of the Asset or the interest of the Trust therein (it being
understood that any such breach shall be deemed to have materially and
adversely affected the value of the related Asset or the interest of
the Trust therein if the Trust incurs a loss as a result of such defect
or breach), the Company shall (i) cure such breach in all material
respects, (ii) purchase the Asset from the Trustee on behalf of the
related Trust, or (iii) remove such Asset from the Trust (in which case
it shall become a Replaced Asset) and substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Assets in the manner and subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 2.06(g) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however,
if such breach is a Qualification Defect and one or more REMIC
elections have been made with respect to the related Trust, such cure,
purchase or substitution must take place within 75 days of the Defect
Discovery Date.
(b) Failure to Retitle Manufactured Homes. Upon the occurrence of
either of the following events:
(1) the rendering of judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction that the Trustee on behalf of the Trust does not have a
perfected first-priority security interest in a particular Manufactured
Home because the Seller has not caused notations to be made on any
certificate or other document of title relating to such Manufactured
Home or has not executed any transfer instrument (including any UCC
financing statement or UCC-3 assignment) relating to such Manufactured
Home, or
(2) the Servicer's receipt of written advice of counsel
selected by the Servicer from among the counsel used by the Servicer in
the ordinary course of its business to the effect that a court of
competent jurisdiction sitting in a jurisdiction in which some of the
Manufactured Homes underlying the Contracts are located has held that,
solely because of the failure of a pledgor or assignor of manufactured
housing contracts (whose pledgee or assignee has perfected its security
interest in such contracts) to cause notations to be made on any
certificate or other document of title relating to a manufactured home
underlying the pledged contracts or to execute any transfer instrument
(including any UCC financing statement or UCC-3 assignment) relating to
any such manufactured home, a perfected first- priority security
interest was not created in a manufactured home underlying such
contracts located in such jurisdiction in favor of the pledgee or
assignee,
then the Servicer, at the expense of the Seller, must complete all appropriate
remedial action with respect to the affected Manufactured Home(s) within 180
days after the Servicer's receipt of written notice of such
-40-
judgment or of such written advice and provide notice to the Trustee of such
remedial action. If the Servicer fails to complete all such remedial action with
respect to any affected Manufactured Home within such 180-day period, the Seller
must repurchase each related Contract at the Repurchase Price therefor on or
before the last Business Day of the Prepayment Period ending on or immediately
after the expiration of such 180-day period in accordance with Section 2.06(f)
below.
In connection with the foregoing obligation, the Servicer shall have no
obligation on an ongoing basis to seek any advice of counsel with respect to the
matters described in clause (2) of the preceding paragraph. However, the
Servicer shall seek advice with respect to such matters whenever information
comes to the attention of any of its executive officers which causes such
executive officer to determine that a holding of the type described in such
clause (2) might exist.
(c) Assignment Failure. If an Assignment to the Trustee on behalf of
the Trust of the Seller's interest in a Mortgage securing a Mortgage Loan has
not been recorded within one year after the Closing Date for the related Series
of Certificates (or in the case of Mortgage Loans for which recordation of an
Assignment was initially not required due to the delivery of an Opinion of
Counsel pursuant to Section 2.3(a) but subsequently required pursuant to Section
2.03(a) hereof, within one year after the Trustee's delivery of the Assignment
to the Servicer or other provision has been arranged for recordation), (1) the
Seller shall purchase the related Mortgage Loan from the Trustee or (2) if there
have been no defaults in the Monthly Payments on such Mortgage Loan, the Seller
shall deposit an amount equal to the Repurchase Price therefor into an escrow
account maintained by the Trustee (which account shall not be an asset of the
Trust or any REMIC), or shall enforce the related Seller's obligation under its
Sales Agreement to make such purchase or deposit. Any such amounts deposited to
an escrow account, plus any earnings thereon, shall (A) be released to the
Seller, as the case may be, upon receipt by the Trustee of satisfactory evidence
that the Assignment has been recorded in the name of the Trustee or (B) be
applied to purchase the related Mortgage Loan in the event that the Servicer
notifies the Trustee that there has been a default thereon. Any amounts in the
escrow account may be invested in Eligible Investments at the written direction
of the Seller.
(d) Optional Purchase by Servicer of Defaulted Contracts. At any time
after a Contract has become and remains a Defaulted Contract, the Servicer may,
at its option, purchase such Defaulted Contract from the Trust at the Repurchase
Price therefor in accordance with Section 2.06(e) below.
(e) Manner of Repurchase. Any Asset purchased pursuant to Section
2.06(a), (b), (c) or (d) hereof shall be purchased at the Repurchase Price for
such Asset. The Seller, the Company or the Servicer, as appropriate (any of the
foregoing, a "Repurchaser"), shall deposit into the Certificate Account, on the
date of purchase, the Repurchase Price for each Asset to be purchased. Upon such
deposit and upon being provided by the Repurchaser with appropriate instruments
of transfer or assignment, the Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse,
representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in the Repurchaser any
Asset purchased hereunder, and the Trustee shall deliver to the Repurchaser any
Asset Documents relating to the repurchased Asset that are in the Trustee's
possession, whereupon the Trustee shall have no further
-41-
responsibility with regard to such Asset. If a Repurchaser shall, in accordance
with the foregoing, purchase any Asset required by it to be purchased, neither
the Trustee nor any Certificateholder shall have any other remedy against such
Repurchaser based on any misrepresentation or breach of covenant or warranty of
such Repurchaser with respect to or resulting from any such Asset.
The Servicer will be responsible for determining the Repurchase Price
for any Asset (and the related Basis Limit Amount for any Converted Loan) to be
repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.06 and shall certify such amounts to the
Trustee at the time of any such purchase. If, for whatever reason, the Servicer
shall certify to the Trustee that there is a miscalculation of the amount to be
paid to the Trust, the Trustee shall from monies in the Distribution Account
return any overpayment that the Trust received as a result of such
miscalculation to the applicable Repurchaser upon the discovery of such
overpayment, and the Servicer shall collect from the applicable Repurchaser for
payment to the Trustee any underpayment that resulted from such miscalculation
upon the discovery of such underpayment. Recovery may be made either directly or
by set-off of all or any part of such underpayment against amounts owed by the
Trust to such Repurchaser.
(f) Manner of Substitution. Unless otherwise provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the right to substitute a Qualified Substitute Asset
for any Replaced Asset that is an asset of the Trust shall be limited to (1) in
the case of substitutions pursuant to Section 2.06(a) or 2.06(c), the two-year
period beginning on the Closing Date and (2) in the case of any other
substitution, the three-month period beginning on the Closing Date.
As to any Replaced Asset for which the Company or the Seller
substitutes a Qualified Substitute Asset or Assets, the Company or the Seller,
as the case may be, shall effect such substitution by notifying the Trustee and
delivering to the Trustee for such Qualified Substitute Asset or Assets a
complete Contract File or Trustee Mortgage Loan File, as appropriate, together
with an Officer's Certificate of the Company or the Seller, as the case may be,
to the effect that each such Qualified Substitute Asset complies with the terms
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Monthly Payments due with respect to
Qualified Substitute Assets in the month of substitution are not part of the
Trust and will be retained by the Company or the Seller, as the case may be. For
the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the
Monthly Payment due on such Replaced Asset during the month in which the
substitution occurs, and the Company or the Seller, as the case may be, shall
thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of
such Replaced Asset. The Servicer shall amend the Asset Schedule to reflect the
removal of such Replaced Asset from the terms of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Asset or Assets. Upon
such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Asset or Assets shall be subject to
the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in all respects, including, in
the case of a substitution effected by the Seller, the representations and
warranties included in the related Sales Agreement, and in the case of a
substitution effected by the Company, the representations and warranties set
forth in Section 2.05 above, in each case as of the date of substitution. The
Trustee shall, within five Business Days of its receipt of the documents
referred to above, effect the reconveyance of such Replaced
-42-
Asset to the Company or the Seller, as the case may be, in accordance with the
procedures specified above.
For any month in which the Company or the Seller substitutes one or
more Qualified Substitute Assets for one or more Replaced Assets, the Servicer
will determine and notify the Trustee with respect to the amount (if any) by
which the aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance of all such Qualified Substitute
Assets as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Unpaid
Principal Balance of all such Replaced Assets (after application of Monthly
Payments due in the month of substitution) (the "Substitution Shortfall"). On
the date of such substitution, the Company or the Seller, as the case may be,
will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for deposit from its own
funds into the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Substitution
Shortfall.
(g) Qualification Defect. If any Person required to cure, purchase, or
substitute under Section 2.06(a) above for an Asset affected by a Qualification
Defect fails to perform within the time limit set forth in those subsections,
the Trustee shall dispose of such an Asset in such manner and for such price as
the Servicer advises the Trustee are appropriate, provided that the removal of
such Asset occurs no later than the 90th day from the Defect Discovery Date. It
is the express intent of the parties that an Asset affected by a Qualification
Defect be removed from the Trust before the 90th day from the Defect Discovery
Date so that the related REMIC or Pooling REMIC will continue to qualify as a
REMIC. Accordingly, the Trustee is not required to sell an affected Asset for
its fair market value nor shall the Trustee be required to make up any shortfall
resulting from the sale of such Asset. The person failing to perform under
Section 2.06(a) above shall be liable to the Trust for (1) any difference
between (A) the Unpaid Principal Balance plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon at the applicable Asset Rate to the date of disposition and (B) the net
amount received by the Trustee from the disposition (after the payment of
related expenses), (2) interest on such difference at the Asset Rate from the
date of disposition to the date of payment and (3) any legal and other expenses
incurred by or on behalf of the Trust in seeking such payments. Except where the
Servicer is the person failing to perform, the Servicer shall pursue the legal
remedies of the Trust on the Trust's behalf and the Trust shall reimburse the
Servicer for any legal or other expenses of the Servicer related to such pursuit
not recovered from such person. If the Servicer is the person failing to
perform, the Trustee shall pursue the Trust's legal remedies against the
Servicer and the Trust shall reimburse the Trustee for its related legal or
other expenses.
(h) Notices. The Company or Seller, as the case may be, upon becoming
aware of such breach, will promptly notify the Trustee of any breach referred to
in this Section 2.06. Any person required under this Section 2.06 to give notice
or to make a request of another person to give notice shall give such notice or
make such request promptly.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION OF TRUSTS AND SERVICING OF THE ASSETS
SECTION 3.01. THE SERVICER.
(a) The Servicer agrees to service the Assets for and on behalf of the
Trust and its successors and assigns, and otherwise to perform and carry out the
duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be performed and carried
out by the Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Servicer
shall service the Contracts in accordance with the customary and usual
procedures of responsible financial institutions that service manufactured
housing retail installment sales contracts and installment loan agreements for
manufactured housing units located in the jurisdictions in which the
Manufactured Homes are located, except as otherwise expressly provided by the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not
release or waive its right to collect the unpaid principal balance of any
Contract. The Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans (a) generally in
compliance with FNMA standards and (b) in a manner that is consistent with
prudent residential mortgage loan servicing standards generally accepted within
the residential mortgage loan servicing industry. The manner in which the
Servicer services the Assets shall be consistent with the manner in which the
Servicer services all manufactured housing retail installment sales contracts
and residential mortgage loans in its servicing portfolio, except for any
differences specifically required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The
Servicer shall have full power and authority consistent with the aforementioned
standards, acting alone and/or through agents and designees as permitted by
Section 6.07 hereof, to do any and all things it may deem necessary or desirable
in connection with such servicing and administration; provided, however, that to
the extent the Servicer is prohibited by any applicable rule, regulation,
judicial or administrative determination or other order applicable to it from
carrying out any of its obligations or duties provided for herein or in any
document contemplated herein, such failure shall not constitute a breach of this
Agreement.
(b) The Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements with
subservicers for the servicing and administration of all or part of the Assets.
References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in
servicing the Assets include actions taken or to be taken by a subservicer on
behalf of the Servicer. Each subservicing agreement will be upon such terms and
conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Servicer and
the subservicer have agreed. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing
promptly upon the appointment of any subservicer. For purposes of this
Agreement, the receipt by the subservicer of any amount with respect to a
Mortgage Loan or Contract (other than amounts representing servicing
compensation or reimbursement for an advance) shall be treated as the receipt by
the Servicer of such amount.
As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations
of each subservicer under the related subservicing agreement. Such enforcement,
including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of
subservicing agreements as appropriate, and the pursuit of other remedies,
shall be in such form and carried
-44-
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 Assets. 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 amounts
due in respect of the related Assets or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs,
expenses or attorneys' fees against the party against whom such enforcement is
directed.
The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any subservicing agreement
that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such subservicing
agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement and shall
provide the Trustee with prompt written notice of such termination.
Notwithstanding any subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of
this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a
subservicer or reference to actions taken through a subservicer or otherwise,
the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trust, the Trustee and
Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Assets in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the subservicer and to the
same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone
were servicing and administering the Assets. The Servicer shall be entitled to
enter into any agreement with a subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer
and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
Any subservicing agreement that may be entered into and any other
transactions or services relating to the Assets involving a subservicer in its
capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the
subservicer 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 subservicer. The Servicer shall be
solely liable for any fees payable to a subservicer.
If the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer
hereunder, the Servicer shall thereupon terminate each subservicing agreement
that may have been entered into and the Trustee, its designee or the successor
servicer 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 subservicing
agreement.
SECTION 3.02. MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS; INSPECTION OF ASSET FILES.
(a) The Servicer shall retain all data relating directly to or
maintained in connection with the servicing of the Assets for any Series at the
address of the Servicer set forth in Section 11.04 hereof or at such other place
where the servicing offices of the Servicer are located.
The Servicer shall permit the Trustee or any authorized agent of the
Trustee reasonable access, upon reasonable prior written notice to the Servicer,
during the Servicer's normal business hours, to the Asset Files, the Servicer
Files, and the Servicer's other records, if any, relating to the Assets for any
related
-45-
Series. Any such examination of such files or records will be conducted in a
manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer's normal
operations or customer or employee relations. Without otherwise limiting the
scope of the examination the Trustee may make, the Trustee or its authorized
agents, using generally accepted audit procedures, may in their discretion
verify the status of each Asset and review the records relating thereto for
conformity to Remittance Reports prepared pursuant to Article IV hereof and
compliance with the standards represented to exist as to each Asset in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(b) At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall keep
available a copy of the Asset Schedule at its principal executive office for
inspection by Certificateholders.
(c) On or before the date of the Servicer's delivery of the Remittance
Report to the Trustee in any month, the Servicer will, upon the written request
of the Trustee, provide to the Trustee a list of outstanding Assets, setting
forth the Scheduled Principal Balance of each such Asset as of the preceding
Distribution Date.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.02, the Trustee
shall at no time have any duty or obligation to examine any records of the
Servicer or to recalculate or otherwise verify the accuracy of any certificate
or report prepared by the Servicer, and no implied duty to do so shall be
asserted against the Trustee.
(e) On or before the Closing Date for a Series, the Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee a list of Officers of the Servicer (each a "Servicing
Officer") involved in, or responsible for, the administration and servicing of
the Assets underlying such Series, which list shall be amended from time to time
as necessary by the Servicer by delivery of an amended list of Servicing
Officers to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.03. COLLECTION OF PAYMENTS ON ASSETS; SERVICING DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS.
Continuously from the Cut-off Date until the earliest to occur of the
following with respect to each Asset sold to the Trust in connection with the
issuance of the Certificates: (i) the principal and interest on such Asset are
paid in full, (ii) such Asset is foreclosed and the related Manufactured Home or
Mortgaged Property is liquidated pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof, (iii) all of
the proceeds of a liquidating claim under the Standard Hazard Insurance Policy
relating to such Asset have been deposited to the Certificate Account, or (iv)
the Liquidation Proceeds relating to such Asset have been deposited to the
Certificate Account, the Servicer will proceed diligently and in a manner
consistent with its standards for servicing Assets described in Section 3.01
above, to collect all payments due under each Asset when such payments become
due and payable and to apply such payments in accordance with Sections 3.05,
3.06 and 3.07 hereof.
-46-
SECTION 3.04. ADVANCES.
(a) Servicing Advances. If any Obligor is in default in the payment of
premiums on its Standard Hazard Insurance Policy or Policies, the Servicer may
pay such premiums or taxes out of its own funds. If any Obligor is in default in
the payment of premiums on its Standard Hazard Insurance Policy or Policies and
coverage is not provided in respect of the related Asset under a blanket policy
maintained by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.16(a) below, or if any Obligor
is in default in the payment of personal property taxes or real estate taxes due
in respect of its Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall
pay such premiums or taxes out of its own funds in a timely manner, as Servicing
Advances, unless the Servicer, in its reasonable judgment, determines that any
such Servicing Advance would be a Non-Recoverable Advance. In addition, the
Servicer shall pay in a timely manner, as Servicing Advances, any and all
personal property taxes and real estate taxes due in respect of any Repo
Property or REO Property it holds on behalf of the Trust and all premiums for
any Standard Hazard Insurance Policy maintained for such Repo Property or REO
Property (except as similar coverage may be provided under a blanket policy
maintained by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.16 below) unless the Servicer,
in its reasonable judgment, determines that any such Servicing Advance would be
a Non-Recoverable Advance.
(b) P&I Advances. If any Obligor fails to make a Monthly Payment by the
related Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit such amount in the
Distribution Account on or before such Remittance Date, as a "P&I Advance,"
unless the Servicer, in its reasonable judgment, determines that any such P&I
Advance would be a Non-Recoverable Advance, or such Monthly Payment can be
offset by Early Payments, as provided in Section 3.07(c) hereof. In addition, if
the Certificate Account is maintained with the Trustee, the Servicer may
instruct the Trustee to use any investment earnings on such account to defray
its P&I Advance obligation, and the Trustee shall honor any such instructions
(including standing instructions).
(c) Recovery of Advances. The Servicer shall be entitled to
reimbursement for any Advances made by it in respect of any Asset out of late
collections from the related Obligor or from Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or a Repurchase Price recovered by it in respect of such Asset
("Related Proceeds") and shall be entitled to reimburse itself for unreimbursed
Advances made that have become Non-Recoverable Advances in accordance with
Section 3.07(a)(1) below.
(d) Non-Recoverable Advances. If the Servicer does not make an Advance
on the grounds that it is a Non-Recoverable Advance, or if an Advance previously
made by the Servicer is determined by the Servicer to have become a
Non-Recoverable Advance, then the Servicer shall provide the Trustee with an
Officer's Certificate stating this fact and stating the basis upon which the
Servicer determined that such Advance would be or was a Non-Recoverable Advance.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for determining whether any such
determination was reasonable.
SECTION 3.05. [RESERVED]
-47-
SECTION 3.06. CERTIFICATE ACCOUNT.
(a) On or before the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish a
collection account or accounts (the "Certificate Account"), which must be an
Eligible Account. The Certificate Account is to be held by or for the benefit of
the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, and shall be either in the
Trustee's name or designated in a manner that reflects the custodial nature of
the account and that all funds in such account are held for the benefit of the
Trustee. The Trustee shall use a segregated Certificate Account for each Series
of Certificates, and the Servicer shall cause separate accounting and records to
be maintained with respect to each separate Series.
(b) The Servicer shall deposit into the appropriate Certificate Account
on a daily basis, and in no event later than two Business Days following receipt
thereof, all payments and collections received by it on each Outstanding Asset
on or after the effective date of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement
(including: (1) all Obligor payments in respect of principal, including
principal prepayments, on the Contracts and Mortgage Loans; (2) all Obligor
payments in respect of interest on the Contracts and Mortgage Loans, together
with moneys transferred from any Buy-Down Fund or GPM Fund; (3) all Net
Liquidation Proceeds received and retained in connection with the liquidation or
disposition of defaulted Contracts, Mortgage Loans or property acquired in
respect thereof through repossession, foreclosure or otherwise; (4) all proceeds
received under any title, hazard or other insurance policy covering any Contract
or Mortgage Loan, other than proceeds received as part of Liquidation Proceeds
or such proceeds that are to be applied to the restoration or repair of the
related Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property or released to the Obligor; (5)
any condemnation awards or settlements which are not released to Obligors in
accordance with normal servicing procedures; (6) all amounts received from
credit enhancement provided with respect to a Series of Certificates; (7) all
proceeds of any Contract or Mortgage Loan (or property acquired in respect
thereof) that is repurchased by the related Seller or by a terminating party;
and (8) all amounts, if any, required to be transferred to the Certificate
Account from a Reserve Fund pursuant to the Agreement, but excluding any
prepayment fees, assumption fees or any fees imposed in connection with the
replacement by such Obligors or the related standard Hazard Insurance Policy),
except amounts collected in respect of Monthly Payments due prior to the Cut-off
Date. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall deposit into the
Certificate Account all installments of principal and interest due on the Assets
on or after the Cut-off Date and received by the Servicer prior to the Closing
Date, plus each Principal Prepayment of any Asset (including any related payment
of interest) received by the Servicer on or after the Cut-off Date but prior to
the Closing Date.
(c) Amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account shall be invested at
the written direction of the Servicer in Eligible Investments, and earnings on
amounts deposited in such account shall be credited to the account of the
Servicer as servicing compensation in addition to the Servicing Fee and shall
offset P&I Advances due from the Servicer in respect of the Distribution Date
next succeeding the date on which such earnings were made or, in the alternative
at the Servicer's option, may be released to the Servicer on
-48-
such Distribution Date. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such
investments shall be deposited in the Certificate Account by the Servicer out of
its own funds immediately upon realization of any such losses.
SECTION 3.07. WITHDRAWALS FROM CERTIFICATE ACCOUNT; REMITTANCE AMOUNTS.
(a) Withdrawals from Certificate Account. The Servicer may direct the
Trustee in writing (by delivering each Remittance Report) to withdraw funds on
deposit in the Certificate Account for the following purposes:
(1) to reimburse itself for any Advances previously made by
the Servicer, which Advances remain unreimbursed to the Servicer, out
of Related Proceeds or, if such Advances have been determined by the
Servicer to have become Non-Recoverable Advances, out of any funds on
deposit in the Certificate Account;
(2) to pay any Servicing Fees and other servicing compensation
provided for herein due to the Servicer; provided, however, that if BCI
is the Servicer and a Servicing Fee Event is not in effect, it shall
only be entitled to withdraw its Servicing Fee in respect of any
Distribution Date from the Certificate Account in accordance with this
clause to the extent the amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account
and attributable to the Available Distribution Amount for such
Distribution Date exceed the sum of all amounts to be distributed on
the Certificates of the related Series on such Distribution Date prior
to the distribution to BCI of its Servicing Fees as described in the
related Pooling and Servicing Agreement in the Section thereof entitled
"Distributions"; and
(3) to enable the Servicer to remit the Remittance Amount on
each Remittance Date, as described in Section 3.07(b) below.
(b) Remittance Dates. On or prior to the Remittance Date for any
Distribution Date, the Servicer shall remit the Remittance Amount for such
Distribution Date, from and to the extent of the funds in the Certificate
Account, plus all required P&I Advances, by wire transfer or otherwise, in
immediately available funds, for distribution in accordance with Section 4.02.
If the Certificate Account is maintained by the Trustee, on each Remittance
Date, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee as to the amount of the related
Remittance Amount and the amount of all required P&I Advances to be covered by
investment earnings on the Certificate Account, and the Trustee shall distribute
such amount in accordance with Section 4.02 on the related Distribution Date. In
such event, the Servicer shall still remit any P&I Advances not covered by
investment earnings on the Certificate Account to the Trustee for distribution
in accordance with Section 4.02 on the Remittance Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Terminating Purchase is to be made
on such Distribution Date, and the Servicer shall have received the Termination
Price or shall be the Terminator, the Servicer shall
-49-
remit the Termination Price rather than the Remittance Amount to the Trustee for
distribution in accordance with Section 4.02.
(c) Treatment of Early Payments. Early Payments received by the
Servicer shall be retained in the Certificate Account and transferred to the
Distribution Account when and as if such Early Payments had otherwise been
received by the Servicer as scheduled payments under the Assets. However, Early
Payments on any Assets for a Series on deposit in the Certificate Account that
are not yet due to be passed through to Certificateholders on any Distribution
Date may be remitted to the Distribution Account to offset delinquencies on
other Assets for the same Series. If Early Payments on any Asset are used to
offset delinquencies on other Assets, subsequent late recoveries of such
delinquent amounts on such other Assets shall be treated by the Servicer as a
restoration of the Early Payments used to offset such delinquent amounts and
shall be deposited into the Certificate Account in accordance with Section
3.06(a) hereof. The Servicer shall maintain records with respect to its
application of Early Payments.
SECTION 3.08. REALIZATION UPON DEFAULTED ASSETS.
(a) The Servicer shall repossess, foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of any Manufactured Home and any related Real
Property and any Mortgaged Property securing an Asset that comes into and
continues in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made
for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof. In
connection with such repossession, foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer
shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or
advisable and as shall be normal and usual for responsible holders of retail
installment sales contracts and installment loan agreements for manufactured
housing (in the case of defaulted Contracts) and for responsible holders of
residential, one- to four-family mortgage loans (in the case of defaulted
Mortgage Loans) and as shall be in compliance with all applicable laws;
provided, that such practices and procedures shall be, in all circumstances,
undertaken with a view toward maximizing the amount of principal and interest
recovered on the Assets.
(b) The Servicer may commence and prosecute any Proceedings in respect
of any Asset in default in its own name on behalf of the Trust or, if the
Servicer deems it necessary, in the name of the Trust. If the Servicer elects to
commence a Proceeding to enforce an Asset, the act of commencement shall be
deemed to entail an automatic assignment of the Asset to the Servicer for
purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal
proceeding in which the Servicer seeks to collect payments due on any Asset, it
is held that the Servicer lacks standing to enforce an Asset (or otherwise is
not permitted to enforce an Asset) on the grounds that it is not a real party in
interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Asset, the Trustee, on behalf of
the Trust, shall take such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce the
Asset, including bringing suit in its name or in the names of the Trust. Any
such action by the Trustee shall be taken at the Servicer's expense, but such
expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) shall be deemed
Liquidation Expenses which the Servicer shall have no obligation to incur to the
extent it makes a good faith determination that such Liquidation Expenses will
not be recoverable out of Liquidation Proceeds of the related Asset.
-50-
(c) In seeking to enforce the Assets, the Servicer may exercise any
rights of recourse against guarantors or sureties of any Obligor's obligations
(or against any other third parties against whom any rights of recourse exist in
connection with any Asset).
(d) The Servicer's obligations under this Section are subject to the
proviso that, in the case of damage to a Manufactured Home or a Real Property or
a Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds
in making Liquidation Expenses to restore such property unless it shall
determine, in its reasonable judgment, (1) that such restoration will increase
the proceeds of liquidation of the related Asset, after reimbursement to the
Servicer for such expenses, and (2) that such Liquidation Expenses, if made,
will be recoverable out of Liquidation Proceeds of such Asset. If the Servicer
recovers any Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds in respect of any Asset,
the Servicer may deduct the amount of any Insured Expenses and unreimbursed
Liquidation Expenses incurred by it in respect of such Asset from such gross
Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, respectively, prior to deposit of
such proceeds into the Certificate Account.
(e) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Servicer shall not
repossess, foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any
Manufactured Home, Real Property or Mortgaged Property securing an Asset in
cases where the Servicer has actual knowledge that the Manufactured Home, Real
Property or Mortgaged Property is situated on a toxic waste site as determined
by the United States Environmental Protection Agency or other comparable federal
or state agency and where, in the good faith judgment of the Servicer, the
liabilities that would be imposed upon the Trust with respect to such toxic
waste site would exceed the Net Liquidation Proceeds that could be realized upon
liquidation of the related Asset. The Servicer shall have no affirmative duty or
obligation to determine whether any Manufactured Home, Real Property or
Mortgaged Property is situated on a toxic waste site. The Servicer shall not be
liable to the holders of any Certificates if the Servicer forecloses on a
Mortgaged Property or Real Property and takes title to a Mortgaged Property or
Real Property that is so contaminated or effected.
SECTION 3.09. TITLE, CONSERVATION, AND DISPOSITION OF REPO PROPERTY AND REO
PROPERTY.
(a) The Servicer shall maintain, protect, and insure any Repo Property
or REO Property acquired pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof, on behalf of the
Trust, in accordance with standard industry practice solely for the purpose of
its prompt disposition and sale and with a view toward maximizing the amount of
principal and interest recovered on the Assets. During any period in which the
Trust holds a Repo Property or REO Property, the Servicer shall not (1) lease
the Repo Property or REO Property, (2) authorize or permit any construction on
the Repo Property or REO Property, other than the completion of a building or
improvement thereon, and then only if more than 10% of the construction of such
building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Asset
became imminent, all within the meaning of section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code, or
(3) allow the Repo Property or REO Property to be used in any trade or business
conducted by the Trust. If one or more REMIC elections are made with respect to
the assets of the Trust, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of
such Repo Property or REO Property for its fair market value within 12 months
after its acquisition by the Trust pursuant to the
-51-
Servicer's ordinary commercial practices. If the Servicer is unable to sell such
Repo Property or REO Property in the course of its ordinary commercial practices
within that 12-month period, the Servicer shall (i) purchase such Repo Property
or REO Property at a price equal to such Repo Property's or REO Property's fair
market value or (ii) auction such Repo Property or REO Property to the highest
bidder in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price (an "Auction")
that takes place within one month after the end of the 12-month period. If the
Servicer and the Trustee either (1) receive an Opinion of Counsel indicating
that, under then-current law, the REMIC may hold Repo Property or REO Property
associated with a REMIC Asset for a period longer than three years from the
close of the taxable year in which the property was acquired without threatening
the REMIC status of any related REMIC or causing the imposition of a tax upon
any such REMIC or (2) the Servicer applies for and is granted an extension of
such period pursuant to Code sections 860G(a)(8) and 856(e)(3) (the applicable
period provided pursuant to such Opinion of Counsel or such Code section being
referred to herein as an "Extended Holding Period"), upon the direction of the
Company or the Trustee, the Servicer shall continue to attempt to sell such Repo
Property or REO Property pursuant to its ordinary commercial practices until the
date two months prior to the expiration of the Extended Holding Period. If no
REMIC election has been made or is to be made with respect to the assets of the
Trust, the 12-month period for disposing of any Repo Property or REO Property as
described in the preceding two sentences shall be an eleven-month period. The
Servicer shall either sell any Repo Property or REO Property remaining after
such date in an Auction or purchase such Repo Property or REO Property (at the
price set forth in this paragraph) before the end of the Extended Holding
Period. In the event of any such sale of a Repo Property or REO Property, the
Trustee shall, at the written request of the Servicer and upon being supplied
with appropriate forms therefor, within five Business Days after its receipt of
the proceeds of such sale or auction, instruct the Servicer to release to the
purchaser the related Contract File and Servicer Contract File (in the case of a
Repo Property), and the Trustee shall release to the purchaser the related
Trustee Mortgage Loan File and shall instruct the Servicer to release to the
purchaser the related Servicer Mortgage Loan File (in the case of a Mortgage
Loan), and in any event the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments
of transfer or assignment provided to it, in each case without recourse,
representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in the auction
purchaser title to the Repo Property or REO Property, and shall deliver to such
purchaser any Asset Documents relating to such Contract that are in the
Trustee's possession, whereupon the Trustee shall have no further responsibility
with regard to any related Asset File or Servicer File. Neither the Trustee nor
the Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust, shall provide financing from such
Trust to any purchaser of a Repo Property or REO Property.
(b) In the event that title to any Repo Property or REO Property is
acquired, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee on
behalf of the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Servicer
shall, in accordance with Section 3.09(a), use its reasonable efforts to sell
any Repo Property or REO Property as expeditiously as possible, but in all
events within the time period, and subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 3.09(a) hereof. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such Repo Property or
REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by
the Servicer protect and conserve such Repo Property or REO Property in the same
manner and to such extent as it
-52-
customarily does in connection with its own repossessed manufactured homes or
mortgaged properties (as applicable), incident to its conservation and
protection of the interests of the Certificateholders.
(c) The Servicer shall deposit all net funds collected and received in
connection with the operation of any Repo Property or REO Property in the
applicable Certificate Account no later than the second Business Day following
receipt of such funds.
(d) The Servicer, upon the final disposition of any Repo Property or
REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement of any related unreimbursed
Advances related to the Asset for such Repo Property or REO Property as well as
any unpaid Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with
the final disposition of such Repo Property or REO Property, the latter in
accordance with the Sections of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement that
are entitled "Distributions" and "Limited Right of Servicer to Retain Servicing
Fees from Collections."
(e) The final disposition of any Repo Property or REO Property shall be
carried out by the Servicer at the Repo Property's or REO Property's fair market
value under the circumstances existing at the time of disposition and upon such
terms and conditions as the Servicer shall deem necessary or advisable, and as
are in accordance with accepted servicing practices and in accordance with
Section 3.09(a) above.
(f) The Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of any Repo
Property or REO Property shall be deposited into the Certificate Account
promptly following receipt of such Liquidation Proceeds and, subject to such
withdrawals as may be permitted by Section 3.07(a) above, shall be transferred
to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.07(b) above.
(g) The Servicer shall prepare and file reports of foreclosure and
abandonment in accordance with section 6050J of the Code.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall not rent, lease, or
otherwise earn income or take any action on behalf of the Trust with respect to
any REO Property that might (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
(ii) result in the receipt by any related REMIC of any "income from
non-permitted assets" within the meaning of section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or
any "net income from foreclosure property" within the meaning of section
860G(c)(2) of the Code, both of which types of income are subject to tax under
the REMIC Provisions, unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel at
the Trust's expense (the costs of which shall be recoverable out of the
applicable Certificate Account), to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions
and any relevant proposed legislation, any income generated for any related
REMIC by the REO Property would not result in the imposition of a tax upon such
REMIC.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall
not:
-53-
(i) enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to
any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any
income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New
Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize or permit any construction on any REO
Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement
thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the construction of
such building or other improvement was completed before default on the
related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of
section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(iv) Directly Operate, or allow any other Person (other than
an Independent Contractor) to Directly Operate, any REO Property on any
date more than 90 days after its acquisition date;
unless, in any such case, the Servicer has requested and received the Opinion of
Counsel described in the preceding sentence, in which case the Servicer may take
such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
(i) The Servicer shall not acquire any personal property relating to
any Asset (other than the related Manufactured Home in connection with a
Contract) pursuant to this Section 3.09 unless either:
(1) such personal property is incident to real property (or to
the related Manufactured Home, in the case of a Contract) (within the
meaning of section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Servicer;
or
(2) the Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion
of Counsel, at the expense of the Trust (recoverable out of the
Certificate Account), to the effect that the holding of such personal
property by the related REMIC will not cause the imposition of a tax
under the REMIC Provisions on any REMIC related to the Trust or cause
any such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificate is outstanding.
SECTION 3.10. FULL PREPAYMENTS AND LIQUIDATIONS; TRUSTEE TO COOPERATE; RELEASE
OF MORTGAGE FILES.
(a) Contracts. The Servicer shall determine when a Contract has been
paid in full. Upon the liquidation of any Contract, the Servicer shall remit the
proceeds thereof to the related Certificate Account in accordance with Sections
3.05 and 3.06 above.
-54-
The Servicer is authorized to execute an instrument in satisfaction of
any Contract that is the subject of a Principal Prepayment in full, final
liquidation or other payment in full (as well as an instrument in satisfaction
of any related Mortgage) and do such other acts and execute such other documents
as the Servicer deems necessary to discharge the Obligor thereunder and
eliminate the security interest in the Manufactured Home and any Real Property
related thereto. Upon the Servicer's request, the Trustee shall, at the expense
of the Servicer, perform such other acts as are reasonably requested by the
Servicer (including, without limitation, the execution of documents) and
otherwise cooperate with the Servicer in enforcement of rights and remedies with
respect to Contracts. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of
satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to a Certificate
Account or Distribution Account.
(b) Mortgage Loans. Upon the liquidation of any Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer shall remit the proceeds thereof to the related Certificate Account in
accordance with Sections 3.05 and 3.06 above and shall deliver to the Trustee a
Request for Release requesting that the Trustee execute such instrument of
release or satisfaction as is necessary to release the related Mortgaged
Property from the lien of the related Mortgage. The Trustee shall, within five
Business Days of its receipt of such a Request for Release, release, or cause
the Custodian to release, the related Trustee Mortgage Loan File to the
Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction
or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to a Certificate Account or
Distribution Account.
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure
of any Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, collection under any Title
Insurance Policy, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, flood insurance policy or
Standard Hazard Insurance Policy or to effect a partial release of any Mortgaged
Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, the Servicer shall deliver to
the Trustee a Request for Release. The Trustee shall, within five Business Days
after its receipt of such Request for Release, release, or cause the Custodian
to release, the related Trustee Mortgage Loan File to the Servicer. Any such
Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each and every
document previously requested from the Trustee Mortgage Loan File to the Trustee
by the twenty-first day following the release thereof, unless (a) the Mortgage
Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage
Loan have been deposited in the related Certificate Account or Distribution
Account or the Trustee Mortgage Loan File or such document 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 the Servicer
certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Trustee
Mortgage Loan File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of
such delivery. Upon receipt of an Officer's certificate of the Servicer stating
that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be
received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited
into the applicable Certificate Account or the Distribution Account have been so
deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, the Request
for Release shall be released by the Trustee to the Servicer.
-55-
(c) Trustee's Execution of Documents in Connection with Foreclosures.
Upon written certification of the Servicer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Servicer court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other
documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a
Mortgaged Property or Real Property or to any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Obligor on a Mortgage Note, Land Secured Contract or
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by such Mortgage Note, Land Secured Contract or Mortgage or
otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification shall include a
request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a
statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the
execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise
affect the lien of the related Mortgage, except for the termination of such a
lien upon completion of the foreclosure proceeding or trustee's sale.
SECTION 3.11. MAINTENANCE OF SECURITY INTERESTS AND OTHER LIENS IN MANUFACTURED
HOMES.
At its own expense, the Servicer shall take such steps as are necessary
to maintain perfection of the security interest in the Seller, the Company or
the Trust and the validity of any other lien created by each Contract in the
related Manufactured Home to the extent it receives notice of sale or
reregistration of such Manufactured Home. The Trustee hereby authorizes the
Servicer to take such steps as are necessary to reperfect such security interest
in the event of the relocation of a Manufactured Home or for any other reason;
provided, that nothing in this Section 3.11 shall be construed to limit the
Servicer's obligations under Section 3.12 below.
SECTION 3.12. DUE-ON-SALE CLAUSES AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENTS.
Upon learning of any conveyance or prospective conveyance of a
Manufactured Home or Real Property securing any Contract or of a Mortgaged
Property securing any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer may exercise its rights,
subject to state law, under any "due-on-sale" clause of the Contract, Mortgage
Note or Mortgage relating to such Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property to
demand immediate payment in full of all amounts due under such Contract or
Mortgage Loan. With respect to Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will exercise such
rights to the extent, under the circumstances, and in the manner in which the
Servicer enforces such clauses with respect to other Mortgage Loans held in its
portfolio, but will not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so.
If the Servicer determines not to enforce a "due-on-sale" clause with
respect to an Asset, the Servicer will enter into an assumption and/or
modification agreement with the person to whom the Manufactured Home or
Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed in a form
that is customary or appropriate in the Servicer's reasonable business judgment
pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Asset and pursuant to
which, to the extent permitted by applicable law and deemed appropriate by the
Servicer in its reasonable judgment, the original Obligor remains liable on such
Asset; provided, that (a) the Servicer reasonably determines that permitting
such assumption by such person will not increase materially the risk of
nonpayment of amounts due under the related Asset, (b) such
-56-
action is not prohibited by law and will not affect adversely or jeopardize any
coverage under any Insurance Policy required to be maintained with respect to
such Asset pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (c) neither the
Unpaid Principal Balance nor the Asset Rate of the related Asset may be reduced
and (d) if one or more REMIC elections have been made with respect to the assets
of the Trust, no other material term of the related Asset (including, without
limitation, the amortization schedule or any other term affecting the amount or
timing of payments on such Asset) may be modified without an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that such modification will not be treated, under the REMIC
Provisions, as an acquisition of the modified Asset by the REMIC in exchange for
the unmodified Asset on the date the modification occurs. The Servicer shall
follow its customary underwriting procedures prior to entering into any such
assumption agreement, including, without limitation, a satisfactory credit
review of any Person assuming such Asset.
SECTION 3.13. ANNUAL ACCOUNTANTS' CERTIFICATE; ANNUAL STATEMENT AS TO
COMPLIANCE.
(a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, on or before April 30 of
each year, with respect to each Pooling and Servicing Agreement that the
Servicer entered into on or before the preceding December 31, an Officer's
Certificate signed by the President or any Vice President of the Servicer, dated
as of December 31 of the preceding year, stating that (1) a review of the
activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month period (or since the
Cut-off Date in the case of the first such Officer's Certificate relating to any
Trust) and of its performance under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has been
made under such Officer's supervision, (2) to the best of such Officer's
knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations
under the Pooling and Servicing 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 (3) to the
best of such Officer's knowledge, each subservicer has fulfilled its obligations
under its subservicing 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 officer and the nature and status thereof. A copy of such
certificate may be obtained by any other Holder who makes a request in writing
to the Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office.
(b) In addition, on or before April 30 of each year, 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, which shall be accompanied with the Officer's Certificate referred to
in subsection (a) above, to each applicable Rating Agency with a copy to the
Trustee to the effect that (1) such firm has audited the financial statements of
the Servicer for the Servicer's most recently ended fiscal year and issued its
report thereon; (2) such audit included tests of the records and documents
relating to manufactured housing installment sale contracts and mortgage loans
serviced by the Servicer for others in accordance with the requirements of the
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, or any successor
program promulgated by the accounting profession ("USAP"); and (3) such other
statements as are contemplated under USAP, including, if called for under USAP,
a statement as to whether the Servicer's management's written assertion to such
firm (which shall be attached to the statement of such firm) that its servicing
during the applicable fiscal year complied with USAP's minimum servicing
standards
-57-
in all material respects is fairly stated in all material respects. The audit
tests referred to in clause (2) of the preceding sentence shall be applied to
manufactured housing installment sale contracts and mortgage loans serviced
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or, in the sole discretion of such
firm, manufactured housing installment sale contracts and mortgage loans
serviced under pooling and servicing agreements, trust agreements or indentures
substantially similar to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (hereinafter
referred to as "Pooling Agreements"). For purposes of such statement, such firm
may assume conclusively that all Pooling Agreements under which the Servicer is
the servicer of manufactured housing installment sale contracts and mortgage
loans for a trustee relating to certificates evidencing an interest in
manufactured housing installment sale contracts and mortgage loans are
substantially similar to one another except for any such Pooling Agreement which
by its terms specifically states otherwise.
SECTION 3.14. SERVICING FEES.
As compensation for the services provided for a Series (including
servicing of the related Assets and administration of the related Trust) and
ordinary expenses incurred by the Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, on each Distribution Date the Servicer shall be entitled to receive
the Servicing Fee. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall perform all of the obligations to be
performed by it under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at its expense and
without cost or charge to the Trustee. The Servicer also shall be entitled to
additional servicing compensation as specified in Sections 3.06(c) and 3.15
hereof. Unless otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for a
Series, the Servicer may retain its Servicing Fee and any other servicing
compensation provided for in such Pooling and Servicing Agreement from gross
interest collections on the related Assets prior to depositing such collections
into the related Certificate Account.
SECTION 3.15. LATE CHARGES; PREPAYMENT FEES OR OTHER CHARGES.
To the extent permitted by law, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the terms of any Asset, the Servicer may collect and retain as additional
compensation any late charges, extension fees or similar fees provided for in
the Asset.
To the extent reasonable and permitted by the terms of any Asset and by
law, the Servicer may collect from the Obligors, and retain as additional
compensation, prepayment fees, assumption fees or any fees imposed in connection
with the replacement by such Obligor of the related Standard Hazard Insurance
Policy.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Servicer shall not charge or impose upon any Obligor, nor seek to
charge or impose upon any Obligor, or assert a right to receive from any
Obligor, 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 Asset.
-58-
SECTION 3.16. MAINTENANCE OF STANDARD HAZARD INSURANCE, PRIMARY MORTGAGE
INSURANCE, AND ERRORS AND OMISSIONS COVERAGE.
(a) Standard Hazard Insurance. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 3.16(a), the Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect to each
Contract and Mortgage Loan and each Repo Property and REO Property one or more
Standard Hazard Insurance Policies that provide, at a minimum, the same coverage
as that provided by a standard form fire and extended coverage insurance policy
that is customary for manufactured housing or residential real property (as
applicable) and which shall include flood insurance coverage issued by a
Qualified Insurer, providing coverage in an amount at least equal to the lesser
of (1) 100% of the replacement value of the related Manufactured Home or
Mortgaged Property and (2) the Unpaid Principal Balance of such Contract or
Mortgage Loan, provided, that with respect to each Repo Property and REO
Property, the amount shall at least equal the lesser of (1) the maximum
insurable value of the related Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property or (2)
the Unpaid Principal Balance under such Contract or Mortgage Loan; provided,
however, that in any event the amount of coverage provided by each Standard
Hazard Insurance Policy must be sufficient to avoid the application of any
co-insurance clause contained therein. As part of its collection
responsibilities, the Servicer shall proceed to collect the premiums due on the
Standard Hazard Insurance Policies from the Obligors in accordance with the
degree of skill and care that is customarily used for such purpose in the
manufactured home loan servicing industry (in the case of Contracts) and the
residential mortgage loan servicing industry (in the case of Mortgage Loans).
Each Standard Hazard Insurance Policy caused to be maintained by the Servicer
shall contain a standard loss payee clause in favor of the Servicer and its
successors and assigns. Any amounts received under any such policies (other than
amounts applied to restoration or repair or released to the Obligors) shall be
deposited initially into the related Certificate Account and then deposited into
the related Distribution Account pursuant to Sections 3.06 and 3.07 hereof,
within the respective time frames specified in such Sections.
In lieu of causing individual Standard Hazard Insurance Policies to be
maintained with respect to each Manufactured Home and Mortgaged Property
pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 3.16, the Servicer may maintain one
or more blanket insurance policies, each issued by a Qualified Insurer, covering
losses on the Obligors' interests in the Assets relating to such Manufactured
Homes and Mortgaged Properties resulting from the absence or insufficiency of
such individual Standard Hazard Insurance Policies. The Servicer shall pay the
premium for any such policy on the basis described therein and shall pay any
deductible amount with respect to claims under such policy relating to the
Assets covered thereby. All amounts collected by the Servicer under any such
blanket policy and any payments by the Servicer of deductible amounts
thereunder, in each case relating to an Asset covered thereby, shall be
deposited initially into the Certificate Account pursuant to Sections 3.05 and
3.06 hereof (within the respective time frames specified in such Sections),
after payment to (or retention by) the Servicer of all Insured Expenses and
Liquidation Expenses incurred by it with respect to the Manufactured Home or
Mortgaged Property to which such recovery relates, as well as the amount of any
Advances made by the Servicer with respect to the related Asset that have not
been reimbursed to the Servicer.
-59-
(b) Primary Mortgage Insurance. The Servicer must maintain a Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy in full force and effect on each Mortgage Loan, if
any, which is identified in the related Sales Agreement as being covered by a
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. Any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy
must insure the portion of the Unpaid Principal Balance of the related Mortgage
Loan that exceeds 75% of the value of the related Mortgaged Property (as set
forth in the appraisal obtained in connection with origination of the Mortgage
Loan) (the Mortgaged Property's "Initial Value") unless such Primary Mortgage
Insurance coverage has been waived in writing by the Company at the time it
purchases the Mortgage Loan or such Primary Mortgage Insurance is canceled under
the circumstances described below. If a covered Mortgage Loan provides for
negative amortization or the potential for negative amortization, the Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy must also insure any increase in the Unpaid Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loan from the original principal balance of the related
Mortgage Note. In the event that the rating assigned by any Rating Agency for
any of the related Certificates to the claims-paying ability of any related
Mortgage Insurer is reduced subsequent to the issuance of the related
Certificates, the Servicer will use its best efforts to replace each Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by the downgraded Mortgage Insurer with a new
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by an insurer whose claims-paying
ability is acceptable to the Company. The premium for any replacement policy
shall not exceed the premium for any replaced policy.
The Servicer may cancel the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy
maintained with respect to any Mortgage Loan at the related Mortgagor's request
if the following conditions are met:
(1) The current Mortgage Loan-to-Value Ratio of the Mortgage
Loan must be 80% or less. The current Mortgage Loan-to-Value Ratio must
be calculated by dividing the Unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loan by the Initial Value of the related Mortgaged Property; or
(2) After the policy has been in effect for more than two
years, if the Mortgage Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is 75%
or less based upon the current fair market value of the related
Mortgaged Property.
The Servicer must take all steps necessary to ensure the payment by
each Mortgage Insurer of the maximum benefits available under the terms of the
related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. The Servicer must work diligently
with the Mortgage Insurer to determine whether such insurer will settle a claim
under a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy by taking title to the related
Mortgaged Property or in some other manner. Upon receipt of any proceeds of a
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Servicer must deposit such proceeds into
the applicable Certificate Account in accordance with Sections 3.05 and 3.06
above.
(c) Errors and Omissions Coverage; Fidelity Bond. The Servicer shall
keep in force throughout the term of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement a
policy or policies of insurance issued by a Qualified Insurer covering errors
and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder,
-60-
including failure to maintain insurance as required by the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, and a fidelity bond covering the Servicer's performance under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Such policy or policies and bond shall be in
such form and amount as is generally customary among Persons that service a
portfolio of manufactured housing installment sales contracts and installment
loans having an aggregate principal amount of $100 million or more and which
Persons are generally regarded as servicers acceptable to institutional
investors.
SECTION 3.17. ESCROW ACCOUNTS.
The Servicer, either directly or through subservicers, to the extent
permitted by law, may establish and maintain an escrow account (the "Escrow
Account") in which mortgagors under Mortgage Loans may be required to deposit
amounts sufficient to pay taxes, assessments, mortgage insurance premiums and
standard hazard insurance premiums and other comparable items and in which
Obligors under Contracts will be required to deposit amounts sufficient to pay
standard hazard insurance premiums and other comparable items. Withdrawals from
the Escrow Account maintained for mortgagors may be made to effect timely
payment of taxes, assessments, mortgage insurance and hazard insurance, to
refund to mortgagors amounts determined to be overages, to pay interest to
mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account to the extent required by law, to
repair or otherwise protect the related Mortgaged Properties and to clear and
terminate the Escrow Account. The Servicer will be responsible for the
administration of the Escrow Account and will be obligated to make advances to
such account when a deficiency exists therein, so long as it determines that
such advances will be recoverable from the related Obligors or from Liquidation
Proceeds collected with respect to the related Assets. The Servicer may decline
to establish Escrow Accounts with respect to any Contracts or Mortgage Loans in
its discretion.
ARTICLE IV
REMITTANCE AND REPORTING TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
SECTION 4.01. REMITTANCE REPORTS.
On or before the third Business Day prior to each Distribution Date,
the Servicer shall prepare a statement containing the information specified

Certificateholders on the related Distribution Date, by website or mail to the
addresses of such Certificateholders as listed in the Certificate Register on

Losses and Fraud Losses, if they are separately allocated to the
related Certificates), (I) the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance
of the Contracts and the Mortgage Loans, stated separately, and the
number of Outstanding Contracts and Mortgage Loans, stated separately,
in each case at the end of the related Collection Period and (J) any

(2) the amount of the Available Distribution Amount for such
Distribution Date;
(3) the amount of funds in the Distribution Account, if any,
to be allocated to pay Servicing Fees, to reimburse the Servicer for
Advances made, to reimburse the Company or the Servicer for expenses

Repurchase Price for an Asset pursuant to Section 2.06(f) hereof;
(4) the amount of the Servicing Fee for such Distribution
Date;
(5) the aggregate amount of P&I Advances required to be made
by the Servicer with respect to such Distribution Date, together with a
statement of the amount, if any, of such required P&I Advances that the
Servicer will not make in respect of such Distribution Date and of any
P&I Advances that will not be made because they are Non-Recoverable
Advances;
(6) the aggregate deposits into the Certificate Account
relating to such Distribution Date and the aggregate withdrawals from
the Certificate Account for each category of withdrawal specified in
Section 3.07(a) hereof relating to such Distribution Date; and
-62-
(7) any items relating to a specific Series of Certificates
specified in the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Trustee shall maintain a website and a telephone number which
investors may call to ascertain, on each Distribution Date, the Certificate
Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates and the then-current
Pass-Through Rate applicable to each such Class. Such website and number for any
Series shall initially be as specified in the Prospectus Supplement for such
Series and may only be changed after the Trustee notes the change in such number
in writing on the Remittance Report it sends to Certificateholders.
Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year,
the Trustee shall prepare and furnish a statement, from information provided by
the Servicer, containing the information concerning the amount of distributions
of interest and principal on the Regular Certificates and the amount of
distributions on the Residual Certificates, as well as any other information as
may be required by the Code or Regulations and that customarily would be
provided by a Trustee to Certificateholders in order to enable such
Certificateholders to prepare their federal income tax returns, to each Person
who at any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder that
constituted a retail investor or other Certificateholder that requests such
statement, aggregated for such calendar year or portion thereof during which
such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable
information shall be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the
Code as from time to time are in force.
SECTION 4.02. DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT; DISTRIBUTION OF REMITTANCE AMOUNT.
(a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain a Distribution Account for
the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Distribution Account shall be an
Eligible Account and shall be either held in the Trustee's name or designated in
a manner that reflects the custodial nature of the account and that all funds in
such account are held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee. The Trustee shall
deposit into the Distribution Account amounts remaining after all other
distributions have been made in accordance with Section 4.02(b)(1) though (4)
below.
(b) The Trustee shall, in accordance with the related Remittance
Report, distribute from the Certificate Account the Remittance Amount in the
following order of priority:
(1) if BCI is not the Servicer or BCI is the Servicer and a
Servicing Fee Event has occurred, to pay the Servicer its monthly
Servicing Fee, to the extent not previously retained or withdrawn from
the Certificate Account by such Servicer or, if BCI is the Servicer and
a Servicing Fee Event is not in effect, to pay BCI its monthly
Servicing Fee in respect of a Distribution Date, but only to the extent
that the amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account and attributable
to the Remittance Amount for such Distribution Date exceed the sum of
all amounts to be distributed on the Certificates of the related Series
on such Distribution Date prior to the distribution to BCI of
-63-
its Servicing Fee, as described in the related Pooling and Servicing
Agreement in the Section thereof entitled "Distributions";
(2) to reimburse the Servicer from any amounts on deposit in
the Distribution Account for any Advance previously made which has
become a Non-Recoverable Advance, or to reimburse the Servicer for any
other Advance out of Related Proceeds on deposit in the Distribution
Account, in either case to the extent not previously retained or
withdrawn from the Certificate Account by the Servicer;
(3) to reimburse the Company or the Servicer for expenses
incurred by or reimbursable to them pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof;
(4) to refund any overpayment of a Repurchase Price for an
Asset pursuant to Section 2.06(f) hereof; and
(5) for deposit into the Distribution Account.
The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on an
Asset-by-Asset basis, for the purpose of justifying any payment to and from the
Distribution Account.
SECTION 4.03. ALLOCATION OF AVAILABLE DISTRIBUTION AMOUNT.
On each Distribution Date for a Series, the Trustee shall withdraw all
monies on deposit in the related Distribution Account in accordance with the
related Remittance Report and shall distribute to the Certificateholders (or, if
more than one REMIC election has been made with respect to the Trust, to
distribute to the holders of the Regular Interests and the Residual Interest in
the Pooling REMIC), the amount of the Available Distribution Amount in
accordance with the applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 4.04. COMPLIANCE WITH WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTS.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements
respecting payments of interest or principal to the extent of accrued original
issue discount on Certificates to each Holder of such Certificates who (a) is
not a "United States person," within the meaning of Code section 7701(a)(30),
(b) fails to furnish its TIN to the Trustee, (c) furnishes the Trustee an
incorrect TIN, (d) fails to report properly interest and dividends, or (e) under
certain circumstances, fails to provide the Trustee or the Certificateholder's
securities broker with a certified statement, signed under penalties of perjury,
that the TIN provided by such Certificateholder to the Trustee or such broker is
correct and that the Certificateholder is not subject to backup withholding. The
consent of such a Certificateholder shall not be required for such withholding.
In the event the Trustee does withhold the amount of any otherwise required
distribution from interest payments on the Assets
-64-
(including principal payments to the extent of accrued original issue discount)
or P&I Advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding
requirements, the Trustee shall indicate with any payment to such
Certificateholders the amount withheld. In addition, if any United States
federal income tax is due at the time a Non-U.S. Person transfers a Residual
Certificate, the Trustee or other Withholding Agent may (1) withhold an amount
equal to the taxes due upon disposition of such Residual Certificate from future
distributions made with respect to such Residual Certificate to the transferee
thereof (after giving effect to the withholding of taxes imposed on such
transferee), and (2) pay the withheld amount to the Internal Revenue Service
unless satisfactory written evidence of payment by the transferor of the taxes
due has been provided to the Trustee or such Withholding Agent. Moreover, the
Trustee or other Withholding Agent may (1) hold distributions on a Residual
Certificate, without interest, pending determination of amounts to be withheld,
(2) withhold other amounts, if any, required to be withheld pursuant to United
States federal income tax law from distributions that otherwise would be made to
such transferee on each Residual Certificate that it holds, and (3) pay to the
Internal Revenue Service all such amounts withheld.
SECTION 4.05. REPORTS OF CERTIFICATE PRINCIPAL BALANCES TO THE CLEARING AGENCY.
If and for so long as any Certificate is held by the Clearing Agency,
on the second Business Day before each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall give
oral notice to the Clearing Agency (and shall promptly thereafter confirm in
writing) the following: (a) the amount of interest and principal to be
distributed on the Certificates of such Class on the upcoming Distribution Date,
as reported in the related Remittance Report, (b) the Record Date for such
distribution, (c) the Distribution Date for such distribution and (d) the
aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates reported
pursuant to clause (10) of Section 4.01 hereof in such month.
SECTION 4.06. PREPARATION OF REGULATORY REPORTS.
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) of this
Section 4.06, the Servicer shall prepare or cause to be prepared, on behalf of
the Trust, such supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports
(such information, documents or reports are referred to hereinafter as "Periodic
Reports") as may be required pursuant to Section 12(g) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), by the rules
and regulations of the Commission thereunder or as a condition to approval of
any application for relief ("Application for Relief") hereinafter referred to
and, in connection therewith, shall prepare such applications and requests for
exemption and other relief from such provisions as it may deem appropriate. The
Servicer shall be deemed to certify as to each Periodic Report that it conforms
in all material respects to applicable reporting requirements imposed by the
Exchange Act or is otherwise in form and content appropriate for filing with the
Commission. The Servicer is hereby authorized to and shall execute all such
Periodic Reports or Applications for Relief on the Trustee's behalf and file the
same with the Commission and other required filing offices, if any, on behalf of
the Trust.
-65-
(b) Within 30 days after the beginning of the first fiscal year of any
Trust during which its obligation to file Periodic Reports pursuant to the
Exchange Act shall have been suspended, the Servicer shall 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 related Trustee's behalf; provided,
however, that the Servicer shall be under no obligation to prepare such notice
if the number of Certificateholders exceeds 300. The Servicer shall file any
notice on Form 15 with the Commission in accordance with the provisions of Rule
15d-6 under the Exchange Act.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Trustee has not assumed, and shall not by its performance
hereunder be deemed to have assumed, any of the duties or obligations of the
Company or any other Person with respect to (1) the registration of the
Certificates pursuant to the Securities Act, (2) the issuance or sale of the
Certificates, or (3) compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act, or any applicable federal or state securities or other laws
including, without limitation, any requirement to update the registration
statement or prospectus relating to the Certificates in order to render the same
not materially misleading to investors.
(d) In connection with the Servicer's preparation of any Form 15 or of
any Periodic Report, the Trustee shall provide it with information which it may
reasonably request concerning the number and identity of the Holders appearing
on the Certificate Register maintained by the Certificate Registrar, but the
Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to provide information which does not
appear on the Certificate Register, including any information concerning the
ownership of Persons for whom a nominee is the Holder of record.
ARTICLE V
THE POOLING INTERESTS AND THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01. POOLING REMIC INTERESTS.
If an election has been made to treat certain assets of the Trust as a
Pooling REMIC, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will set forth the terms of
the Regular Interests and Residual Interest of the Pooling REMIC. Unless
otherwise specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (a) the Pooling
REMIC Regular Interests will be "regular interests" for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions but will not constitute securities or certificates of interest in the
Trust; and (b) the Trustee will be the owner of any such Regular Interests,
which may not be transferred to any person other than a successor trustee
appointed pursuant to Section 8.08 hereof unless the party desiring the transfer
obtains a Special Tax Opinion.
SECTION 5.02. THE CERTIFICATES.
The Certificates shall be designated in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire
beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Estate (or in the Issuing
-66-
REMIC, if any). On the Closing Date, unless otherwise specified in the related
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of
the Certificates will not be less than the aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance of
the underlying Assets as of the Cut-off Date, after application of principal
payments due on or before such date, whether or not received. The Certificates
will be substantially in the forms annexed to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered form. Each Certificate
will share ratably in all rights of the related Class.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed and delivered
by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust and the Trustee shall authenticate the
Certificates upon the order of the Company upon receipt by the Trustee of the
Servicer Custodial Certification required by Section 2.02 hereof. The
Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the
Trust by an authorized Officer of the Trustee. Certificates bearing the manual
or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper Officers
of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or
any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Certificates. No Certificate shall represent entitlement to any benefit under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there
appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the
form provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (in the forms of
Certificates attached thereto as Exhibits) executed by the Trustee by manual
signature, and such certificate of authentication 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, except that those Certificates delivered on the Closing Date may
be dated the Accrual Date.
The Trust in issuing the Certificates may use "CUSIP" or "private
placement" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall
indicate the "CUSIP" or "private placement" numbers of the Certificates in
notices of redemption and related materials as a convenience to
Certificateholders; provided that any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed
on the Certificates or as contained in any notice of redemption and related
materials.
SECTION 5.03. BOOK-ENTRY CERTIFICATES.
(a) The Book-Entry Certificates will be represented initially by one or
more certificates registered in the name of CEDE & Co., as nominee of the
Clearing Agency. The Company, the Servicer and the Trustee and its officers,
directors, employees and agents may for all intents and purposes (including the
making of payments on the Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Clearing Agency
as the authorized representative of the Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry
Certificates for as long as those Certificates are registered in the name of the
Clearing Agency. The rights of Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates
shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such
Beneficial Owners and the Clearing Agency and Clearing Agency Participants. The
Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates shall not be entitled to
certificates for the Book-Entry Certificates as to which they are the Beneficial
Owners, except as provided in subsection (c) below. Requests and directions

of, the Clearing Agency, as Holder, shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if
they are made with respect to different Beneficial Owners. Without the consent
of the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee, a Book-Entry Certificate may not
be transferred by the Clearing Agency except to another Clearing Agency that
agrees to hold the Book-Entry Certificate for the account of the respective
Clearing Agency Participants and Beneficial Owners.
(b) Neither the Company, the Servicer nor the Trustee will have any
liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payment made on account
of Beneficial Owners of the Book- Entry Certificates held by the Clearing
Agency, for monitoring or restricting any transfer of beneficial ownership in a
Book-Entry Certificate or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records
relating to such Beneficial Owners.
(c) The Book-Entry Certificates will be issued in fully-registered,
certificated form to Beneficial Owners of Book-Entry Certificates or their
nominees, rather than to the Clearing Agency or its nominee, only if (1) the
Company advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer
willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with
respect to the Book-Entry Certificates and the Company is unable to locate a
qualified successor within 30 days or (2) the Company, at its option, elects to
terminate the book-entry system operating through the Clearing Agency. Upon the
occurrence of either such event, the Trustee shall notify the Clearing Agency,
which in turn will notify all Beneficial Owners of Book-Entry Certificates
through Clearing Agency Participants, of the availability of certificated
Certificates. Upon surrender by the Clearing Agency of the certificates
representing the Book-Entry Certificates and receipt of instructions for
re-registration, the Trustee will reissue the Book-Entry Certificates as
certificated Certificates to the Beneficial Owners identified in writing by the
Clearing Agency. Such certificated Certificates shall not constitute Book-Entry
Certificates. All reasonable costs associated with the preparation and delivery
of certificated Certificates shall be borne by the Company.
SECTION 5.04. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES.
The Trustee shall cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust Office 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. The Trustee will
initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering
Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
If a Person other than the Trustee is appointed by the Trustee as
Certificate Registrar, such Person will give the Trustee prompt written notice
of the location, and any change in the location, of the Certificate Register,
and the Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Certificate Register at all
reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Trustee shall have the
right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Certificate Registrar
by an Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the
Certificates and the principal amounts and numbers of such Certificates.
-68-
Subject to Section 5.05 below, upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at
any other office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose, the
Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and shall authenticate and deliver,
in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of the Certificateholders, each Certificate may be
exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with the same and authorized
denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such
Certificate to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute on
behalf of the Trust and shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates 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 Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by,
the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee 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 Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
destroyed by the Trustee.
The Trustee will (or will cause the Certificate Registrar to) provide
notice to the Trustee of each transfer of a Certificate, and will provide the
Trustee and Servicer with an updated copy of the Certificate Register on January
1 and July 1 of each year (or at such other time as the Servicer may request).
SECTION 5.05. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.
(a) Securities Law Compliance. No transfer of any Private Certificate
shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act and effective registration or qualification
under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does
not require such registration or qualification. Any Holder of a Private
Certificate shall, and, by acceptance of such Certificate, does agree to,
indemnify the Company, the Trustee and the Servicer against any liability that
may result if any transfer of such Certificates by such Holder is not exempt
from registration under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities
laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. Neither the
Company, the Trustee nor the Servicer is obligated to register or qualify any
Private Certificate under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to
take any action not otherwise required under these Standard Terms or the related
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates
without such registration or qualification. The Trustee shall not register any
transfer of a Private Certificate (other than a Residual Certificate) unless and
until the prospective transferee provides the Trustee with a Transferee
Agreement or, if the Certificate to be transferred is a Rule 144A Certificate, a
Rule 144A Agreement certifying to facts which, if true, would mean that the
proposed transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and unless and until the
transfer otherwise complies with the provisions of this Section 5.05. If a
proposed transfer does not involve a Rule 144A Certificate or the transferee's
Rule 144A Agreement does not certify to facts which, if true, would mean that
the transferee is a
-69-
Qualified Institutional Buyer, (i) the Servicer and the Trustee shall require
that the transferor and transferee certify as to the factual basis for the
registration exemption(s) relied upon and (ii) if such transfer is made within
three years after the acquisition thereof by a non-Affiliate of the Company from
the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, the Servicer or the Trustee may also
require an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made without
registration or qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense
of the Company, the Trustee or the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Rule 144A Agreement, Transferee Agreement or Opinion of Counsel shall be
required in connection with the initial transfer of the Private Certificates and
no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the transfer of the
Private Certificates by a broker or dealer, if such broker or dealer was the
initial transferee.
The Company shall provide to any transferee Holder of a Rule 144A
Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by such Holder information
regarding the related Certificates and the related Assets and such other
information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set
forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without
registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration
exemption provided by Rule 144A, upon the request for such information by such
Holder.
(b) ERISA Compliance.
(1) Book-Entry Certificates. No transfer of all or any portion
of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates that are ERISA Restricted
Certificates shall be made to a transferee that is a Plan Investor
unless such Certificates have received a rating from Standard & Poor's
Rating Services, a division of The XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies, Xxxxx'x
Investors Service, Inc., Fitch, Inc., or any successors thereto, at the
time of such transfer that is in one of the four highest generic rating
categories. In the absence of such a rating, each Beneficial Owner of
such a Certificate shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of
its acquisition of such a Certificate, that either (i) it is not a Plan
Investor or (ii) it is an insurance company general account which is
entitled to the exemption set forth in Section III of Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption 95-60.
(2) Certificated Certificates. No transfer of all or any
portion of any Class of Certificates that (A) are not Book-Entry
Certificates and (B) are ERISA Restricted Certificates shall be made
unless and until the prospective transferee provides the Trustee and
the Servicer with a properly completed and executed Benefit Plan
Affidavit, together with a Benefit Plan Opinion if required in order to
comply with such Affidavit. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary herein, any purported transfer of such a Certificate to or on
behalf of a Plan Investor without delivery of a Benefit Plan Opinion
shall be null and void.
-70-
(c) Residual Certificates. The Trustee shall not register any transfer
of a Residual Certificate (including any beneficial interest therein) unless it
shall have received the written consent of the Servicer. No Residual Certificate
may be transferred to a Disqualified Organization. The Servicer will not consent
to any proposed transfer or sale of a Residual Certificate (1) to any investor
that it knows is a Disqualified Organization or (2) if the transfer involves
less than an entire interest in a Residual Certificate, unless (A) the interest
transferred is an undivided interest or (B) the transferor or the transferee
provides the Servicer with an Opinion of Counsel obtained at its own expense to
the effect that the transfer will not jeopardize the REMIC status of any REMIC
consisting of assets of the Trust. The Servicer's consent to any transfer is
further conditioned upon the Servicer's receipt from the proposed transferee of
(x) a Residual Transferee Agreement, (y) a Benefit Plan Affidavit, and (z)
either (A) if the transferee is a Non-U.S. Person, an affidavit of the proposed
transferee in substantially the form attached as Exhibit 8-A to Exhibit 8 hereto
and a certificate of the transferor stating whether the Residual Certificate has
"tax avoidance potential" as defined in Treasury Regulations Section
1.860G-3(a)(2), or (B) if the transferee is a U.S. Person, an affidavit in
substantially the form attached as Exhibit 8-B to Exhibit 8 hereto. In the
absence of a contrary instruction from the transferor of such Certificate,
representation (c) of Section 2 of the Residual Transferee Agreement attached as
Exhibit 8 hereto may be left blank. If the transferor requests by written notice
to the Servicer prior to the date of the proposed transfer that one of the two
other forms of representation (c) of Section 2 of such Agreement be used, then,
as a further condition to the Servicer's consent, the Servicer shall require
that such form of such representation be included in such Agreement. In
addition, if a proposed transfer involves a Private Certificate, the transfer
shall be subject to the additional restrictions set forth in Section 5.05(a)
above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in
connection with the initial transfer of the Residual Certificates or their
transfer by a broker or dealer, if such broker or dealer was the initial
transferee. Notwithstanding the fulfillment of the prerequisites described
above, the Servicer may withhold its consent to, or the Trustee may refuse to
recognize, a transfer of a Residual Certificate, but only to the extent
necessary to avoid a risk of disqualification as a REMIC of a REMIC consisting
of Trust assets or the imposition of a tax upon a REMIC. Any attempted transfer
in violation of the foregoing restrictions shall be null and void and shall not
be recognized by the Trustee.
If a tax or a reporting cost is borne by a REMIC consisting of Trust
assets as a result of the transfer of a Residual Certificate or any beneficial
interest therein in violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section, the
transferor shall pay such tax or cost and, if such tax or cost is not so paid,
the Trustee, upon notification from the Servicer, shall pay such tax or cost or
may pay such tax or reporting cost with amounts that otherwise would have been
paid to the transferee of the Residual Certificate (or beneficial interest
therein). In that event, neither the transferee nor the transferor shall have
any right to seek repayment of such amounts from the Company, the Trustee, the
REMIC, the Servicer, or the other Holders of any of the Certificates, and none
of such parties shall have any liability for payment of any such tax or
reporting cost. In the event that a Residual Certificate is transferred to a
Disqualified Organization, the Servicer shall make, or cause to be made,
available the information necessary for the computation of the excise tax
imposed under section 860E(e) of the Code.
-71-
SECTION 5.06. ACCRUAL OF INTEREST ON THE CERTIFICATES.
Certificates entitled to receive interest in accordance with the
related Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall accrue interest at the applicable
Pass-Through Rates on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months and on the assumption that each Interest Accrual Period consists of 30
days.
SECTION 5.07. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar receive
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them harmless (the unsecured agreement of an Institutional Holder being
sufficient for such purpose), then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of
the same Class, tenor and denomination or Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance
of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the
fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) connected
therewith. Every new Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if
originally issued on the Closing Date, regardless of whether any destroyed, lost
or stolen Certificate in lieu of which such new Certificate was issued shall be
found at any time.
SECTION 5.08. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any
Certificate, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Servicer or of the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered on the
Certificate Register as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of
receiving distributions on such Certificate and for all other purposes
whatsoever (whether or not such Certificate is overdue), and neither the
Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Servicer or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.09. APPOINTMENT OF PAYING AGENT.
The Trustee, at its own expense, may appoint a Paying Agent approved by
the Company for the purpose of making distributions to Certificateholders. The
Trustee shall cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an
instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such
Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to Certificateholders
in an Eligible Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders
entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders. All
funds remitted by the Trustee to any such Paying Agent for the purpose of making
-72-
distributions shall be paid to Certificateholders on each Distribution Date and
any amounts not so paid shall be returned on such Distribution Date to the
Trustee.

Agreement and such action in its opinion does not involve it in any expense or
liability, except as provided in Section 10.01(b) hereof; provided, however,

action that it deems necessary or desirable with respect to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties thereto and the
interests of the Certificateholders thereunder if the Certificateholders offer

indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred

SECTION 6.06. SERVICER RESIGNATION.

Rating Agency that such a resignation and appointment will not, in and of
itself, result in a downgrading of any rated Certificates or (b) upon
determination by the Servicer's Board of Directors that the performance of its
duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is no longer permissible under
applicable law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the
Servicer shall be evidenced by a resolution of its Board of Directors and an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation
shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have
assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with
Section 7.02 hereof.

COMPANY.
(a) The Servicer may at any time without notice or consent delegate

the Company may assign the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in connection with a
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease made in compliance with
Section 6.04 hereof.
(c) Except as provided in Sections 6.04 and 6.06 hereof, the duties and
obligations of the Servicer and the Company under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement shall continue until the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall have
been terminated as provided in Section 9.01 hereof, and shall survive the
exercise by the Trustee of any right or remedy under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, or the enforcement by the Trustee of any provisions of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 6.08. THE COMPANY AND SERVICER MAY OWN CERTIFICATES.
The Company, the Servicer and any Affiliate of the foregoing may in its
individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of Certificates
with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Company, the Servicer
or an Affiliate of the Company or the Servicer.
SECTION 6.09. PROTECTION OF TRUST ESTATE.
Except as limited by Section 2.02(c)(2), Section 2.02(c)(3) or Section
2.03(a) above, the Company will execute and deliver from time to time all
amendments to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and all financing statements,
continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments
necessary or advisable in order to, and will take such other action as the
Trustee deems necessary or advisable in order to:
(a) grant to the Trustee more effectively all or any portion of the
Trust Estate;

rights therein of the Trustee and the Holders of Certificates against the claims
of all persons and parties;
(c) maintain or preserve the lien (and the priority thereof) created by
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to carry out more effectively the
purposes hereof (including the filing of continuation statements under the UCC
as necessary);
(d) perfect, publish notice of, or protect the validity of any grant
made or to be made pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; or
(e) enforce any of the related Asset Documents.
The Company and the Servicer each hereby designates the Trustee its agent and
attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or
other instrument required pursuant to this Section 6.09;
-78-
provided, that the Trustee shall have no duty to determine whether the filing of
any financing statement shall be necessary or to file such statements except
upon written request of the Company or the Servicer. After execution of any
continuation statement or other instrument pursuant to this Section, the Trustee
shall deliver such instrument to the Servicer for filing. Promptly after filing
any such instrument or causing any such instrument to be filed, the Servicer
shall deliver an Officer's Certificate, signed by an Officer of the Servicer, to
the Trustee stating that such continuation statement or other instrument has
been filed.
The Company shall pay or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Trust, any
taxes levied on the account of the ownership by the Trust of the related Assets.
SECTION 6.10. PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS.
The Servicer shall not take any action, and will use its best efforts
not to permit any action to be taken by others, that would release any Person
from any of such Person's covenants or obligations under any of the related
Asset Documents or under any instrument included in the Trust Estate, or that
would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or
discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any of the related
Asset Documents or any such instrument, except as expressly provided in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement or such Asset Documents or other instrument or
unless such action will not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the
Certificates.
ARTICLE VII
EVENT OF DEFAULT; TERMINATION OF SERVICING ARRANGEMENTS
SECTION 7.01. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
Any of the following acts or occurrences shall constitute an Event of
Default by the Servicer:
(a) any failure by the Servicer to remit funds in the Certificate
Account to the Distribution Account or to make a required P&I Advance that is
not deemed by the Servicer to be a Non-Recoverable Advance, in either case as
required by Section 3.07(b) hereof, and the continuance of such failure
unremedied for a period of five days after the date upon which such deposit,
payment or remittance was due;
(b) any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform
in any material respect any of the covenants or agreements on the part of the
Servicer (other than covenants referred to in clause (a) above) contained in the
Certificates or in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which failure continues
unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of
such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Servicer by the Trustee, or to the Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of
Certificates of a Series entitled to at least 25% of the related Voting Rights;
-79-
(c) the issuance of a decree or order of a court or agency or
supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case
under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
law or appointing 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, against the
Servicer, and if the Servicer is contesting such decree or order in force, the
remaining of such decree or order in force undischarged or unstayed for a period
of 60 consecutive days;
(d) the Servicer's 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 property of the Servicer;
or
(e) the Servicer's (1) admission in writing of its inability to pay its
debts generally as they become due, (2) filing of a petition to take advantage
of, or commence a voluntary case under, any present or future federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, (3) making of an assignment
for the benefit of its creditors, or (4) voluntarily suspending payment of its
obligations.
If an Event of Default concerning the Servicer shall occur hereunder,
then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall
not have been remedied or waived, the Trustee may, and at the direction of the
Holders of Certificates evidencing greater than 50% of the Voting Rights, shall,
by notice then given in writing to the Servicer, terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer as servicer. On and after the receipt by the
Servicer of any such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer
hereunder, whether with respect to the Certificates (except its rights as a
Holder thereof) or the Contracts or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in
the Trustee or successor servicer pursuant to and under this Section 7.01
(provided, however, that the Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive
all amounts accrued and owing to it as Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement on or prior to the occurrence of a Event of Default specified in
Section 7.01(a) above or, in the case of any other Event of Default, on or prior
to the date of such termination); and, without limitation, the Trustee hereby is
authorized and empowered on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, to execute and deliver any and all documents and other instruments,
and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to
effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the
transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Contracts and related documents or
otherwise.
The Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the
termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder,
including, without limitation, (1) transferring to the Trustee for
administration by it of all cash amounts that shall be held at the time by the
Servicer for deposit, shall have been deposited by the Servicer into the
Servicing Account, the Certificate Account or the Distribution Account, or shall
be received thereafter with respect to a Contract, and (2) the prompt provision
to the Trustee (in no event later than ten Business Days subsequent to its
receipt of such notice of termination) of all documents and records, electronic
and otherwise, reasonably requested by the Trustee or its designee in order for
the Trustee or its designee to assume and carry out the duties and obligations
that otherwise
-80-
were to have been performed and carried out by the Servicer under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement but for the termination of the Servicer.
Upon any termination of the Servicer pursuant to this Section, the
Trustee or its designee shall pay over to the Servicer that portion of any
future proceeds of the related Assets that, if it were acting hereunder at such
future time, it would be permitted to retain or withdraw from the Certificate
Account or Distribution Account in consideration of, or in reimbursement for,
previous services performed, or advances made, by it or for other matters for
which it is entitled to reimbursement pursuant hereto or to the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Prior to appointment of any successor Servicer,
the Trustee must notify the Rating Agency in writing of the identity of such
prospective successor.
SECTION 7.02. TRUSTEE TO ACT; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.
On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof or resigns pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof, the
Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity
as servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and in connection with the
transactions provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities placed on the Servicer by the terms and
provisions hereof. As compensation therefor, the Trustee, except as provided in
Section 7.01 hereof, shall be entitled to such compensation (whether payable out
of the Distribution Account or otherwise) as the Servicer would have been
entitled to receive hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given,
as well as all protections and indemnification afforded the Servicer pursuant to
Section 6.05 above. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be
unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint, or
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing
finance institution having a net worth of not less than $40,000,000 and the
regular business of which shall have included, for at least one year prior to
such appointment, the servicing of a portfolio of manufactured housing
receivables of not less than $100,000,000, as the successor to the Servicer
hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. No appointment of a successor to the
Servicer shall be effective until the assumption by the successor of all future
responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer
hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee
or an Affiliate of the Trustee shall act as Servicer hereunder as provided
above. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the successor Servicer shall not be
required to purchase any Assets from the Trust pursuant to these Standard Terms
except (i) under Section 2.06(a)(2) hereof to the extent the obligation to
repurchase arose out of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by
the successor Servicer and (ii) under Section 2.06(b) hereof to the extent the
Servicer's obligation to effect remedial action as described in such Section
arose after the successor Servicer began serving as Servicer. It is understood
that any predecessor Servicer shall remain liable for any breaches of
representations, warranties and covenants that it committed while it was the
Servicer, and shall remain responsible for effecting remedial actions described
in Section 2.06(b) hereof (and for repurchasing Assets pursuant to such Section
2.06(b)) to the extent the obligation to undertake such remedial action arose
while such predecessor Servicer was the Servicer hereunder.
-81-
In connection with the appointment of a successor Servicer, the Trustee
may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor servicer out
of payments on the related Assets as it and such successor shall agree;
provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that
permitted the Servicer under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Trustee and such successor servicer shall take such action, consistent with
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such succession.
Any successor to the Servicer shall maintain in force during the term
of its service as Servicer the policy or policies that the Servicer is required
to maintain pursuant to Section 3.16(c) hereof.
Upon any Event of Default described hereunder, the Trustee, in addition
to the rights specified in this Section, shall have the right, in its own name
and as "Trustee," to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in
equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the
interests of the Certificateholders, and enforce the rights and remedies of the
Certificateholders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial,
administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt
in connection therewith). No remedy provided for by the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy
shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission
to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall
be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. Amounts payable to the Trustee
to reimburse it for any expenses it incurs in connection with any actions taken
by it pursuant to this paragraph are intended to constitute administrative
expenses. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Certificateholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Certificates or the rights of any Holder thereof, or
to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Certificateholder in any such Proceeding.
For the purposes of this Section 7.02 and Section 7.03 hereof, the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default or an Event of
Default hereunder unless an Officer of the Trustee having direct responsibility
for the administration of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any Event of Default is received
by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates or the Trust.
SECTION 7.03. NOTIFICATIONS TO SERVICER AND TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS.
(a) Upon obtaining actual knowledge of any Default, the Trustee shall
promptly notify the Servicer and each Certificateholder (at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register) thereof.
(b) Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the
Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall give prompt written
notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing
in the Certificate Register.
-82-
(c) As soon as practicable after the Trustee's obtaining knowledge of
the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit by certified
mail to all Holders of the Certificates (at their respective addresses appearing
in the Certificate Register) notice of such Event of Default or occurrence known
to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 8.01. DUTIES OF TRUSTEE.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee
shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, and shall 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 his own affairs. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or
after all Events of Default which may have occurred have been cured or waived,
the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and shall use the same degree of care and skill
in their exercise, as a corporate trustee would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the administration of a corporate trust agreement.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether
they conform to the requirements of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall be under no duty to recalculate,
verify or recompute the information provided to it hereunder by the Company or
the Servicer. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall
take action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the
instrument is not corrected to the Trustee's satisfaction, the Trustee will
provide notice thereof to the related Certificateholders.
No provision of the Pooling and Servicing 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; provided, however, that:
(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the
Servicer of which the Trustee has notice or knowledge, and after the curing or
waiver of any such Event of Default, the duties and obligations of the Trustee
shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the
performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into the Pooling and Servicing Agreement against the Trustee and, in the
absence
-83-
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 that conform
to the requirements of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
(b) the Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity for any
error of judgment made in good faith by an Officer of the Trustee, unless it
shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts;
(c) 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 the Holders of Certificates of a Series entitled to at least 25% of
the related Voting Rights relating 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
(d) Any determination of negligence or bad faith of the Trustee shall
be made only upon a finding that there is clear and convincing evidence (and not
upon the mere preponderance of evidence) thereof in a proceeding before a court
of competent jurisdiction in which the Trustee has had an opportunity to defend;
and
(e) in no event shall the Trustee be held liable for the actions or
omissions of the Servicer or the Company (excepting the Trustee's own actions as
Servicer), and in connection with any action or claim or recovery sought against
the Trustee based upon facts involving the acts or omissions of the Servicer or
the Company, or involving any allegation or claim of liability or recovery
against the Trustee by the Servicer or by the Company, the Trustee shall not be
held to a greater standard of care than the Servicer or the Company would be
held in such situation.
Except as specifically required herein, the Trustee shall not be
required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
SECTION 8.02. CERTAIN MATTERS AFFECTING THE TRUSTEE.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01 hereof:
(1) In the absence of bad faith, the Trustee may rely, and
shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance
upon, any resolution, 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. Further, the Trustee may accept a copy of the vote of the
Board of
-84-
Directors of any party certified by its clerk or assistant clerk or
secretary or assistant secretary as conclusive evidence of the
authority of any person to act in accordance with such vote, and such
vote may be considered as in full force and effect until receipt by the
Trustee of written notice to the contrary.
(2) The Trustee may rely, in the absence of bad faith on its
part, upon a certificate of an Officer of the appropriate Person
whenever in the administration of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or
established (unless other evidence be prescribed herein specifically)
prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder.
(3) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written
advice of such counsel or any 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 written advice or Opinion of Counsel.
(4) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
of the trusts or powers vested in it by the Pooling and Servicing
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 the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered
to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby.
(5) 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 the Holders of Certificates of a Series entitled to
at least 25% of the related Voting Rights; provided, however, that if
the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs,
expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of
such investigation, in the opinion of the Trustee, is not assured to
the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee may require indemnity against such
expense or liability as a condition to taking any such action. The
expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Servicer or, if
paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Servicer upon demand.
(6) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or perform any duties hereunder
either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, custodians or
nominees and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or
negligence on the part of or for supervision of, any agent, attorney,
custodian or nominee appointed with due care and in good faith by it
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
-85-
(7) Whenever the Trustee is authorized herein to require acts
or documents in addition to those required to be provided it in respect
of any matter, it shall be under no obligation to make any
determination as to whether such additional acts or documents should be
required unless obligated to do so under Section 8.01 hereof.
(8) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or
knowledge of any matter, including, without limitation, any Event of
Default, unless one of its Officers having direct responsibility for
the administration of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has actual
knowledge or record thereof or unless written notice thereof is
received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office and such notice
references the Certificates generally, the Company, the Trust or the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(9) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon
it by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(10) The permissive right or authority of the Trustee to take
any action enumerated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not
be construed as a duty or obligation.
(11) In the event that the Trustee is also acting as
Custodian, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent or Certificate Registrar
hereunder, the rights and protections afforded to the Trustee pursuant
to this Article VIII shall also be afforded to the Custodian, Paying
Agent, Transfer Agent and Certificate Registrar.
(12) In no event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection
of Eligible Investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The
Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a
result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its
stated maturity or the failure of the Servicer to provide timely
written investment direction. The Trustee shall have no obligation to
invest or reinvest any amounts held hereunder in the absence of written
investment direction.
(13) The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the performance
of the Company or the Servicer, nor shall it have any liability in
connection with the malfeasance or nonfeasance by the Company or the
Servicer. The Trustee shall have no liability in connection with
compliance by the Company or the Servicer with statutory or regulatory
requirements related to the Contracts or the Mortgage Loans. The
Trustee shall not make or be deemed to have made any representations or
warranties with respect to the Assets or the validity or sufficiency of
any assignment of the Assets to the Trust or the Trustee.
-86-
Certificateholders shall have rights to institute suits, actions or
proceedings in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement only under the circumstances described in the third
paragraph of Section 11.03 hereof.
(b) All rights of action under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or
under any of the Certificates enforceable by the Trustee may be enforced by it
without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at
the trial or other Proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or
Proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the
benefit of all the Holders of the Certificates, subject to the provisions of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 8.03. TRUSTEE NOT LIABLE FOR CERTIFICATES OR ASSETS.
The recitals contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and in
the Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Trustee
on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Company or the
Servicer and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The
Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the
signature and countersignature of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any
underlying Asset or related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for
the use or application by the Company of any of the Certificates or of the
proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid
to the Servicer in respect of the underlying Assets or deposited in or withdrawn
from the Servicing Account, the Certificate Account or the Distribution Account
other than any funds held by or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 8.04. TRUSTEE MAY OWN CERTIFICATES.
The Trustee, in its individual capacity 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 8.05. TRUSTEE'S FEES AND EXPENSES.
The Servicer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time, pursuant to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or a separate fee agreement, reasonable
compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to
the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by
it in the execution of the trusts created under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties
hereunder of the Trustee, and shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances (other than any expenses incurred by the
Trustee in connection with its assumption of the obligations of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof) incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance
with any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including but
not limited to the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of
its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith.
The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
-87-
Trustee shall be indemnified by the Servicer and held harmless against any loss,
liability or expense, including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses,
incurred as a result of or in connection with the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement or the Certificates, including, but not limited to, any such loss,
liability, or expense incurred in connection with any legal action against the
Trust or the Trustee or any director, officer, employee or agent thereof, the
performance of any of the Trustee's duties under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement or relating to or arising out of any Environmental Law, including,
without limitation, any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense
of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim, other than any loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any payment hereunder made by the Servicer to
the Trustee shall be from the Servicer's own funds without any right to
reimbursement therefor. The obligations of the Servicer under this Section 8.05
shall survive the termination of the Trust and the resignation or removal of the
Trustee.
SECTION 8.06. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR TRUSTEE.
The Trustee shall at all times be a corporation or national banking
association that is not an Affiliate of the Company or the Servicer, organized
and doing business under the laws of any 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 (or qualifying as a Qualified Bank)
and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state regulatory
authorities. If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition
at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
conditions so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07
hereof. The Servicer and the Company may maintain normal banking relations with
the Trustee if the Trustee is a depository.
SECTION 8.07. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE TRUSTEE.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written notice
of such resignation to the Company, the Servicer and to all related
Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to the successor
Trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders
and to the Servicer by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the resigning
Trustee's giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee.
-88-
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Company, 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 thereof,
then the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee by
written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the
Trustee so removed and to the successor Trustee. A copy of such instrument shall
be delivered to the Certificateholders and to the Servicer by the Company.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may remove the Trustee at any time 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 Company, one complete set to the Trustee so removed
and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument
shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and to the Servicer by the Company.
If the Holders remove the Trustee otherwise than for reasonable cause based upon
the Trustee's failure to continue to meet the eligibility requirements set forth
in Section 8.06 above or the Trustee's failure to perform its duties as
described herein, then the Holders so removing the Trustee shall bear any and
all costs and expenses arising from such removal and substitution.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not
become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as
provided in Section 8.08 hereof.
SECTION 8.08. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE.
Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 hereof
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company, the Servicer and to its
predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the
like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. The predecessor Trustee
shall deliver to the successor Trustee all related Asset Documents and related
documents and statements held by it under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and the Company, the Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments and do such other things as reasonably may 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 8.06 hereof.
-89-
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in
this Section, the Company shall mail notice of the succession of such Trustee
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to all Holders of the Certificates at
their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Company fails to
mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at
the expense of the Company.
SECTION 8.09. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF TRUSTEE.
Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or association
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee
shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the business
of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement provided such corporation or association shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, 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. Prior to any such merger, conversion or
consolidation, the Trustee shall notify each applicable Rating Agency in writing
of the pendency of such merger, conversion or consolidation.
SECTION 8.10. APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE.
For the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction
in which any part of the Trust Estate or property securing the same may be
located at any time, the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee, acting jointly,
shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments necessary to
appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-Trustee or co-
Trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate Trustee or Trustees, of all or
any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity, such title to the Trust Estate or any part thereof, and, subject to
the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations,
rights and trusts as the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee may consider
necessary or desirable. If the Company or the Servicer shall not have joined in
such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do,
the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-Trustee
or separate Trustee(s) hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 8.06 hereof and no notice to
Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-Trustee(s) or separate
Trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-Trustee or separate Trustee
pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate Trustee or co-Trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement or as successor to the Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.02 hereof), 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
-90-
Estate 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.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate Trustees and co-Trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate Trustee or co-Trustee shall refer to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate Trustee and
co-Trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with
the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either
jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to
all the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, specifically
including every provision of the Pooling and Servicing 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 the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate
Trustee or co-Trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be
removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest
in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor Trustee.
SECTION 8.11. APPOINTMENT OF CUSTODIANS.
The Trustee may on behalf of the Trust, with the consent of the
Servicer, appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Trustee
Mortgage Loan Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a custodial
agreement. The appointment of any Custodian may at any time be terminated and a
substitute Custodian may be appointed. The Trustee shall terminate the
appointment of any Custodian and appoint a substitute custodian upon the request
of the Servicer to the Trustee. Subject to this Article VIII, the Trustee agrees
to comply with the terms of each custodial agreement and to enforce the terms
and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution or trust
company subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have
combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and shall be qualified to
do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Trustee Mortgage Loan
File. Any such Custodian may not be an affiliate of the Company or any Seller
with respect to the applicable Trust.
SECTION 8.12. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF CERTIFICATES.
All rights of action and claims under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement or the Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee
without the possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in
any proceeding relating thereto and any such proceeding instituted by the
Trustee shall be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee. Any
recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
-91-
its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in
respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01. TERMINATION UPON REPURCHASE OR LIQUIDATION OF ALL CONTRACTS.
(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the
Servicer and the Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than
the obligations of the Trustee to make distributions to Certificateholders, to
reimburse the Servicer for outstanding Advances, to pay the Servicer accrued and
previously unpaid Servicing Fees or to provide tax information as provided in
Section 4.01(a) hereof and other than the obligations of the Servicer under
Article X hereof) shall terminate upon distribution to the Certificateholders of
all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required hereunder to be so
distributed on the Distribution Date coinciding with or following the earlier to
occur of (1) a Terminating Purchase for an amount equal to the Termination Price
and (2) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect
thereto) of the last Asset remaining in the Trust or the disposition of the last
Repo Property or REO Property remaining in the Trust; provided, however, that in
no event shall the Trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21
years after the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's,
living on the date hereof.
(b) Unless otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
the Servicer may, at its option, make, or cause a Person to make, a Terminating
Purchase on any Distribution Date on or after the earlier to occur of (1) the
Servicer's determination, based upon an Opinion of Counsel, that the REMIC
status of any REMIC related to the Trust has been lost or that a substantial
risk exists that such REMIC status will be lost for the then-current taxable
year, or (2) the Distribution Date on which, after taking into account
distributions of principal to be made on such Distribution Date, the sum of the
Certificate Principal Balances of the Certificates is less than or equal to 15%
of the sum of the original Certificate Principal Balances of the Certificates.
(c) The Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
in writing of its election to make or to cause a Terminating Purchase no later
than the Distribution Date preceding the Distribution Date on which the
Certificates will be retired as a result of such Terminating Purchase. The
Servicer shall advise the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar of the final
payment or other liquidation of the last Asset remaining in the Trust or the
disposition of the last Repo Property or REO Property remaining in the Trust at
least two Business Days prior to the Remittance Date in the month in which the
Trust will terminate as a result thereof.
-92-
Notice of any termination of the Trust shall be given promptly by the
Trustee by letter sent to the Certificateholders by certified mail (1) in the
event such notice is given in connection with a Terminating Purchase, not
earlier than the fifth day of the month preceding the month of such termination
and not later than the first day of the month of such termination or (2)
otherwise not later than the Remittance Date preceding the final Distribution
Date, in each case specifying (A) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust
will terminate and that final payment of the Certificates will be made on such
Distribution Date and (B) the amount of any such final distribution. The Trustee
shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is
given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given in connection
with a Terminating Purchase, the Terminator shall deliver to the Trustee for
deposit into the Distribution Account on the Business Day immediately preceding
the Distribution Date on which the Terminating Purchase is to take place an
amount in next day funds equal to the Termination Price. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Terminator is the Servicer, the Terminator, upon notice to the
Trustee, shall be entitled to remit the Termination Price net of amounts owed to
the Terminator in respect of unreimbursed outstanding Advances made by such
Terminator or amounts required to be reimbursed or paid to such Terminator
hereunder.
(d) On the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to the
Certificateholders as of the related Record Date the amount otherwise
distributable on the Certificates on such Distribution Date (if such final
Distribution Date is not the result of a Terminating Purchase).
Upon any termination of the Trust as the result of a Terminating
Purchase, the Trustee shall distribute the Termination Price as though it were
the amount on deposit in the Distribution Account in accordance with Section
4.03(a) hereof and in accordance with the related Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
Following such final distribution, the Servicer and the Trustee shall
promptly release to the Terminator the related Asset Files or portions thereof
in their respective possessions for the remaining Assets, Repo Properties and
REO Properties, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and
other instruments provided to it necessary to effectuate transfer of such Asset
Files to such Terminator, whereupon the Trust shall terminate.
(e) In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates within six months after the date specified in the
above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice
to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates and receive
the final distribution with respect thereto, net of the cost of such second
notice. If within one year after the second notice all the Certificates shall
not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate
steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the
remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the
cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts otherwise payable on such
Certificates. Any funds payable to Certificateholders that are not distributed
on the final Distribution Date shall be deposited in a Termination Account, as
the case may be, each of which shall be an Eligible Account, to be held for the
benefit of Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates
in the aforesaid manner, and shall be disposed of in accordance with this
Section.
-93-
SECTION 9.02. ADDITIONAL TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS.
(a) In the event of a Terminating Purchase as provided in Section 9.01
hereof, the Trust shall be terminated in accordance with the following
additional requirements, unless the Servicer, the Company, and the Trustee
receive (1) a Special Tax Opinion and (2) a Special Tax Consent from each of the
Holders of the Residual Certificates (unless the Special Tax Opinion
specifically provides that no REMIC-level tax will result from such Terminating
Purchase).
(1) Within 90 days prior to the time of the making of the
final payment on the Certificates, the Company on behalf of each
related REMIC shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation meeting the
requirements set forth in the REMIC Provisions for a qualified
liquidation (which plan may be adopted by the Trustee's attachment of a
statement specifying the first day of the 90-day liquidation period to
the REMIC's final federal income tax return) and the REMIC will sell
all of its assets (other than cash).
(2) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
Regular Certificates or the deposit to the Termination Account, the
Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or
credited, pro rata, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates, all
remaining cash on hand relating to the REMIC after such final payment
(other than cash retained to meet claims against the Trust) and the
REMIC shall terminate at that time.
(3) In no event may the final payment on the Regular
Certificates or the final distribution or credit to the Holders of the
Residual Certificates be made after the 90th day after the date on
which the plan of complete liquidation relating thereto is adopted. A
payment into the Termination Account with respect to any Certificate
pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof shall be deemed a final payment on, or
final distribution with respect to, such Certificate for the purposes
of this Section 9.02(a)(3).
(b) By their acceptance of Residual Certificates, the Holders thereof
agree (1) to authorize such action as may be necessary to adopt a plan of
complete liquidation of any related REMIC and (2) to take such action as may be
necessary to adopt a plan of complete liquidation of any related REMIC upon the
written request of the Servicer, which authorization shall be binding upon all
successor Holders of such Residual Certificates.

ARTICLE X
REMIC TAX PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01. REMIC ADMINISTRATION.
Unless otherwise specified in the related Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, an election will be made to treat the Assets and the Distribution
Account underlying a Series as one or more REMICs under the Code. Each Holder of
a Residual Certificate in each REMIC shall, in its Residual Transferee
Agreement, designate the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer, as its agent,
to act as the Tax Matters Person for such REMIC. The Servicer agrees that it or
one of its Affiliates will serve as such Tax Matters Person for each REMIC, and
also will perform various tax administration functions for each REMIC, as its
agent, as set forth in this Section 10.01.
(a) The Trustee shall elect (on behalf of each REMIC to be created) to
have the Trust (or designated assets thereof) treated as a REMIC on Form 1066 or
other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending
on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued as
well as on any corresponding state tax or information return necessary to have
such assets treated as a REMIC under relevant state law.
(b) The Servicer shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not
including taxes) of the Trust and each related REMIC, including but not limited
to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or
judicial proceedings with respect to each such REMIC that involve the Internal
Revenue Service or state tax authorities or related to the adoption of a plan of
complete liquidation.
(c) The Servicer shall prepare any necessary forms for election as well
as all of the Trust's and each related REMIC's federal and state tax and
information returns. The Trustee shall sign and file such returns on behalf of
each such REMIC. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be
borne by the Trustee.
(d) The Servicer shall perform all reporting and other tax compliance
duties that are the responsibility of the Trust and the REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions or state or local tax law. Among its other duties, if required by the
REMIC Provisions, the Servicer, acting as agent of the REMIC, shall provide to
the Treasury or to other governmental authorities such information as is
necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual
Certificate to any Disqualified Organization.
(e) The Company, the Servicer, the Trustee (to the extent the Trustee
has been instructed by the Company or the Servicer), and the Holders of Residual
Certificates shall take any action or cause each related REMIC to take any
action necessary to create or maintain the status of each such REMIC as a REMIC
under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to create or
maintain such status.
-95-
(f) The Company, the Servicer, the Trustee (to the extent the Trustee
has been instructed by the Company or the Servicer), and the Holders of the
Residual Certificates shall not take any action or fail to take any action, or
cause each related REMIC to take any action or fail to take any action that, if
taken or not taken, could endanger the status of each such REMIC as a REMIC
unless the Trustee and the Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the
expense of the party seeking to take or to omit to take such action) to the
effect that the contemplated action or failure to act will not endanger such
status.
(g) Any taxes that are imposed upon the Trust or any related REMIC by
federal or state (including local) governmental authorities (other than taxes
paid by a party pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof or as provided in the following
sentence) shall be allocated to the Certificates (including, for this purpose,
the regular interests in any Pooling REMIC) in the same manner as Writedown
Amounts are so allocated; provided, however, that if the related Pooling and
Servicing Agreement does not provide for the allocation of Writedown Amounts,
such taxes shall be payable out of the Available Distribution Amount before any
distributions are made on the related Certificates on the related Distribution
Date. Any state or local taxes imposed upon the Trust, any related REMIC or any
related Certificateholder that would not have been imposed on the Trust, such
REMIC or such Certificateholder in the absence of any legal or business
connection between the Trustee and the state or locality imposing such taxes
(including any federal, state or local taxes imposed on such Trust, such REMIC
or such Certificateholder as a result of such Trust, such REMIC or such
Certificateholder being deemed to have received income as a result of the
Trustee's payment of state or local taxes) shall be paid by the Trustee, and,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Standard Terms, such taxes
shall be deemed to be part of the Trustee's cost of doing business and shall not
be reimbursable to the Trustee.
(h) If the Servicer (or an Affiliate thereof) is unable for any reason
to fulfill its duties as Tax Matters Person, then the holder of the largest
Percentage Interest of the Residual Certificates, without compensation, shall
become the successor Tax Matters Person for each related REMIC; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Trustee be required to act as Tax Matters
Person (regardless of whether the Trustee is acting as successor Servicer).
SECTION 10.02. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES.
Except as otherwise provided elsewhere in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, neither the Company, the Servicer, the Holders of Residual
Certificates, nor the Trustee shall engage in, nor shall the Trustee permit, any
of the following transactions or activities unless it has received (1) a Special
Tax Opinion and (2) a Special Tax Consent from each of the Holders of the
Residual Certificates (unless the Special Tax Opinion specially provides that no
REMIC-level tax will result from the transaction or activity in question):
(a) the sale or other disposition of, or substitution for, any of the
underlying Assets except pursuant to (1) a foreclosure or default with respect
to such an Asset, (2) a purchase or repurchase
-96-
pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof, (3) the bankruptcy or insolvency of any related
REMIC, or (4) the termination of any related REMIC pursuant to Article IX
hereof;
(b) the acquisition of any Assets for the Trust after the related
Closing Date except (1) during the three-month period beginning on the Closing
Date pursuant to a fixed-price contract in effect on the Closing Date that has
been reviewed and approved by tax counsel acceptable to the Servicer or (2) a
substitution in accordance with Section 2.06 hereof;
(c) the sale or other disposition of any investment in the Distribution
Account at a gain;
(d) the acceptance of any contribution to the Trust except the
following cash contributions: (1) a cash contribution received during the
three-month period beginning on the Closing Date; (2) a cash contribution to
facilitate a Terminating Purchase that is made within the 90- day period
beginning on the date on which a plan of complete liquidation is adopted
pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(1) hereof; (3) a contribution to a Reserve Fund
owned by a related REMIC that is made pro rata by the Holders of the Residual
Certificates; or (4) any other contribution approved by the Servicer after
consultation with tax counsel;
(e) except in the case of an Asset that is in default, or as to which,
in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, default is reasonably foreseeable,
neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall permit any modification of any
material term of an Asset (including, but not limited to, the interest rate, the
principal balance, the amortization schedule (except as provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement), the remaining term to maturity, or any other term
affecting the amount or timing of payments on the Asset) unless the Trustee and
Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party
seeking to modify the Asset) to the effect that such modification would not be
treated as giving rise to a new debt instrument for REMIC purposes;
(f) engage (in the case of the Company, the Servicer or the holders of
the Residual Certificates) or knowingly engage (in the case of the Trustee) in
any other transaction or activity that is inconsistent with the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement;
(g) the sale or other disposition of any asset held in a Reserve Fund
for a period of less than three months (a "Short-Term Reserve Fund Investment")
if such sale or disposition would cause 30% or more of a related REMIC's income
from all of its Reserve Funds for the taxable year to consist of gain from the
sale or disposition of Short-Term Reserve Fund Investments; or
(h) the withdrawal of any amounts from any Reserve Fund except (A) for
the distribution pro rata to the Holders of the Residual Certificates or (B) to
provide for the payment of Trust expenses or amounts payable on the Certificates
in the event of defaults or late payments on the related Assets or lower than
expected returns on funds held in the Distribution Account, as provided under
section 860G(a)(7) of the Code.
-97-
Any party causing the Trust to engage in any of the activities prohibited in
this Section shall be liable for the payment of any tax imposed on the Trust
pursuant to Code section 860F(a)(1) or 860G(d) as a result of the Trust engaging
in such activities.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 11.01. AMENDMENTS.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended or supplemented from
time to time by the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of
any of the Certificateholders (a) to cure any ambiguity herein, (b) to correct
or supplement any provisions herein that may be inconsistent with any other
provisions herein, (c) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to
such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain the qualification
of any related REMIC as a REMIC and to avoid the imposition of certain taxes on
a REMIC under the Code at all times that any Certificates are outstanding or (d)
to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or matters arising with respect to the Trust
that are not covered by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, that such
action shall not affect adversely the interests of any Certificateholder, as
evidenced by an opinion of counsel independent from the Company, the Servicer
and the Trustee or a letter from each Rating Agency from whom the Company
requested a rating of any of the related Certificates stating that such action
will not result in a downgrading of the rating of any of the related
Certificates rated by such Rating Agency at the request of the Company. Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall furnish a copy of
such amendment to each Holder of Certificates.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also may be amended from time to
time by the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders entitled to at least a majority of the Voting Rights of each Class of
Certificates that would be affected by such amendment for the purpose of adding
any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights
of the Holders of the Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment
shall (a) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
received on Contracts or Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on
any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (b)
affect adversely in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any
Class of Certificates in a manner other than described in clause (a) of this
paragraph, or (c) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Holders of
which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of such
Holders of all Certificates then outstanding.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
-98-
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
In executing and delivering any amendment or modification to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to an opinion of
counsel (which may be from in-house counsel) stating that: (i) such amendment is
authorized pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and complies
therewith; and (ii) all conditions precedent to the execution, delivery and
performance of such amendment shall have been satisfied in full. The Trustee may
but shall have no obligation to execute and deliver any amendment or
modification which would affect its duties, powers, rights, immunities or
indemnities hereunder.
SECTION 11.02. RECORDATION OF AGREEMENT; COUNTERPARTS.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real
property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which
any or all of the Real Property or Mortgaged Properties included in the Trust
Estate and subject to the related Mortgages are situated, and in any other
appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be
effected by the Servicer and at its expense, if such recordation is necessary to
protect the interests of the Certificateholders. The Trustee shall not be
responsible for determining whether the Pooling and Servicing Agreement should
be recorded in any such office.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, the Pooling and
Servicing 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 together constitute but one and the same instrument.
SECTION 11.03. LIMITATION ON RIGHTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust, nor will such death
or incapacity 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, nor shall it 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 for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Trust, 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
-99-
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding
in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to the Pooling and Servicing
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 unless also the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25%
of the Voting Rights allocated to the Certificates shall have made written
request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own
name as Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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
15 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall
have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It
is understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder
with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders
of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any
provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or
seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to
enforce any right under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all
Holders of Certificates. 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 11.04. NOTICES.
All demands, instructions, directions, consents, waivers and notices
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered at or mailed by first

each party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in writing by the Trustee. Any
notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Certificateholder shall be given
by registered mail, postage prepaid, or by express delivery service, at the
address of such Holder as shown in the Certificate Register. Any notice so
mailed within the time prescribed in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall
be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the
Certificateholder receives such notice. A copy of any notice required to be
telecopied hereunder also shall be mailed to the appropriate party in the manner

-100-
SECTION 11.05. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS.
If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be held invalid for any reason
whatsoever, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed
severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or
of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.
SECTION 11.06. SALE OF CONTRACTS.
It is the express intent of the Company and the Trustee that the
conveyance of the Assets underlying a Series by the Company to the Trustee
pursuant to the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement be construed as a sale
of such Assets by the Company to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention
of the Company or the Trustee that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of such
Assets by the Company to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the
Company. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties,
such Assets are held to continue to be property of the Company, then (a) the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement also shall be deemed to be a security agreement
within the meaning of Article 9 of the applicable UCC; (b) the conveyance by the
Company provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to
be a grant by the Company to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the
Company's right, title and interest in and to the Assets and all amounts payable
to the holders of the Assets in accordance with the terms thereof and all
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested
in the related Certificate Account or Distribution Account, whether in the form
of cash, instruments, securities or other property, and including without
limitation all amounts from time to time held or invested in any related Reserve
Fund; (c) the possession by the Trustee or its agent (including the Servicer
pursuant to Section 2.02(a) hereof) of items of property that constitute
instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be
"possession by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the applicable UCC; and (d) notifications
to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations

effect attached hereto as Annex A1 (if the Transferee is not a registered
investment company) or Annex A2 (if the Transferee is a registered investment
company). The Transferee is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance
on Rule 144A.
2. The Transferee understands that the Purchased Certificates have not
been registered under the 1933 Act or registered or qualified under any state
securities laws and that no transfer may be made unless the Purchased
Certificates are registered under the 1933 Act and under applicable state law or
unless an exemption from such registration is available. The Transferee further
understands that neither the Company, the Servicer, the Trustee nor the Trust is

3. The Transferee is acquiring the Purchased Certificates for its own
account or for the account of a "qualified institutional buyer" (as defined in

resold, pledged or transferred only (a) to a person reasonably believed to be
such a QIB that purchases for its own account or for the account of a QIB to
whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in
reliance on Rule 144A, or (b) pursuant to another exemption from registration
under the 1933 Act and under applicable state securities laws. IN ADDITION, SUCH

pursuant to another exemption from registration under the 1933 Act and all
applicable state securities laws, and in strict compliance with the transfer
restrictions set forth in Section 5.05 of the Standard Terms. The Transferee
will not attempt to transfer any or all of the Purchased Certificates pursuant
to Rule 144A unless the Transferee offers and sells such Certificates only to
QIBs or to offerees or purchasers that the Transferee and any person acting on
behalf of the Transferee reasonably believe (as described in paragraph (d)(1) of
Rule 144A) is a QIB.
4. The Transferee has been furnished with all information that it
requested regarding (a) the Purchased Certificates and distributions thereon and
(b) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to below.

3. The term "securities" as used herein does not include (a) securities

securities for a third party unless the Transferee has obtained a current
representation letter from such third party or taken other appropriate steps
contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party independently meets
the definition of "qualified institutional buyer" set forth in Rule 144A.
7. The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this

Trustee may require an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be an expense of the
Company, BCI, the Servicer or the Trustee) that such transfer is not required to
be registered under the Act or state securities laws.
(c) Any Certificateholder desiring to effect a transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt under federal or
applicable state securities laws.
(d) The transfer of the Purchased Certificates may be subject to
additional restrictions, as set forth in Section 5.05 of the Standard Terms of

(the "Standard Terms" and, collectively with the Series Agreement, the
"Agreement"). In doing so the Transferee hereby acknowledges and agrees as
follows:
SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS. Each capitalized term used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Agreement.
SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE TRANSFEREE. In
connection with the proposed transfer of the Residual Certificates, the
Transferee represents and warrants to the Company, BCI, the Servicer, the
Trustee and the Trust as follows:
(a) The Transferee has knowledge in financial and business
matters and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
investment in the Residual Certificates; the Transferee has sought such
accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make
an informed decision; and the Transferee is able to bear the economic
risk of an investment in the Residual Certificates and can afford a
complete loss of such investment.
(b) The Transferee represents that (i) it understands that
each of the Residual Certificates represents for federal income tax
purposes a "residual interest" in a real estate mortgage investment
conduit (a "REMIC") and that, as the holder of the Residual
Certificates, it will be required to take into account, in determining
its taxable income, its pro rata share of the taxable income of the
REMIC, (ii) it understands that it may incur federal income tax
liabilities with respect to the Residual Certificates in excess of any
cash flows generated by the Residual Certificates and (iii) it has
historically paid its debts as they became due and has the financial
wherewithal and intends to continue to pay its debts as they come due
in the future, including any tax imposed on the income that it derives
from the Residual Certificates as such taxes become due.
[(c) the present value of the anticipated tax liabilities
associated with holding the Residual Certificates does not exceed the
sum of:
(i) the present value of any consideration given
to the Transferee to acquire the Residual
Certificates;
(ii) the present value of the expected future
distributions on the Residual Certificates;
and
(iii) the present value of the anticipated tax
savings associated with holding the Residual
Certificates as the Trust generates losses.
For purposes of this representation, (i) the Transferee is
assumed to pay tax at a rate equal to the highest rate of tax specified
in Section 11(b)(1) of the Code, and (ii) present values are computed
using a discount rate equal to the applicable Federal rate prescribed
Exhibit 8 - Page 2
by Section 1274(d) of the Code or a lower discount rate if the
Transferee can demonstrate that it regularly borrows, in the course of
its trade or business, substantial funds at such lower rate from
unrelated third parties.]
[(c) (i) at the time of the transfer, and at the
close of each of the Transferee's two fiscal

reporting purposes exceed $100 million and
its net assets for financial reporting
purposes exceed $10 million; and
(ii) the Transferee is an eligible corporation as
defined in Section 860L(a)(2) of the Code
and has made a written agreement that any
subsequent transfer of the Residual
Certificates will be to another eligible
corporation that satisfies Section 4 of
Revenue Procedure 2001-12, and such transfer
will not be a transfer to a foreign branch
of an eligible corporation or any other
arrangement by which the Residual
Certificates are at any time subject to net
tax by a country other than the United
States or by a possession of the United
States.
For purposes of this representation, (i) the gross assets and
net assets of the Transferee do not include any obligation of any
person related to the Transferee (as defined in Section 860L(g) of the
Code) or any other asset if a principal purpose for holding or
acquiring that asset is to permit the Transferee to make this
representation or to satisfy the requirements of Section 6 of Revenue
Procedure 2001-12.]
[(c) [Intentionally left blank.]]
*(d) The Transferee is acquiring the Residual Certificates for
its own account as principal and not with a view to the resale or
distribution thereof, in whole or in part, in violation of Section 5 of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").
*(e) The Transferee confirms that the Company has made
available to the Transferee the opportunity to ask questions of, and
receive answers from, the Company concerning the Company, the Trust,
the purchase by the Transferee of the Residual Certificates and all
matters relating thereto, and to obtain additional information relating
thereto that the Company possesses or can acquire unreasonable effort
or expense.
SECTION 3. COVENANTS. The Transferee covenants:
*(a) The Transferee will not make a public offering of the
Residual Certificates, and will not reoffer or resell the Residual
Certificates in a manner that would render the issuance and sale
Exhibit 8 - Page 3
of the Residual Certificates whether considered together with the
resale or otherwise, a violation of the Act, or any state securities or
"Blue Sky" laws or require registration pursuant thereto.
(b) The Transferee agrees that, in its capacity as a holder of
the Residual Certificates, it will assert no claim or interest in the
Contracts by reason of owning the Residual Certificates other than with
respect to amounts that may be properly and actually payable to the
Transferee pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and the Certificates.
(c) If applicable, the Transferee will comply with respect to
the Residual Certificates in all material respects with applicable
regulatory guidelines relating to the ownership of mortgage derivative
products.
(d) Upon notice thereof, the Transferee agrees to any future
amendment to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates (or any interest
therein) that counsel to the Company or the Trust may deem necessary to
ensure that any such transfer will not result in the imposition of any
tax on the Trust.
(e) The Transferee hereby agrees that the Servicer or an
affiliate thereof will (i) supervise or engage in any action necessary
or advisable to preserve the status of the REMIC as a REMIC, (ii) be,
and perform the functions of, the REMIC's tax matters person ("TMP"),
and (iii) employ on a reasonable basis counsel, accountants, and
professional assistance to aid in the preparation of tax returns or the
performance of the above.
(f) The Transferee hereby agrees to cooperate with the TMP and
to take any action required of it by the REMIC Provisions in order to
create or maintain the REMIC status of the REMIC.
(g) The Transferee hereby agrees that it will not take any
action that could endanger the REMIC status of any related REMIC or
result in the imposition of tax on any such REMIC unless counsel for,
or acceptable to, the TMP has provided an opinion that such action will
not result in the loss of such REMIC status or the imposition of such
tax, as applicable.
SECTION 4. ADDITIONAL TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.
(a) No transfer of the Residual Certificates shall be made unless the
Servicer has consented in writing to such transfer. No Residual Certificate may
be transferred to a Disqualified Organization. The Servicer will not consent to
any proposed transfer (i) to any investor that it knows is a Disqualified
Organization or (ii) if the transfer involves less than an entire interest in a
Residual Certificate unless (A) the interest transferred is an undivided
interest or (B) the transferor or the transferee provides the Servicer with an
Opinion of Counsel obtained at its own expense to the effect that the transfer
will not jeopardize the REMIC status of any related REMIC. The Servicer's
consent to any transfer is further conditioned the
Exhibit 8 - Page 4
Servicer's receipt from the proposed transferee of (x) a Residual Transferee
Agreement, which, if so requested by the transferor in written notice provided
to the Servicer prior to the date of the proposed transfer, shall include a
representation made in the form of representation (c) of Section 2 of the
Residual Transferee Agreement attached as Exhibit 8 hereto requested by the
transferor, (y) a Benefit Plan Affidavit, and (z) either (A) if the transferee
is a Non-U.S. Person, an affidavit of the proposed transferee in substantially
the form attached as Exhibit 8-A to Exhibit 8 to the Standard Terms and a
certificate of the transferor stating whether the Class R Certificate has "tax
avoidance potential" as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G- 3(a)(2),
or (B) if the transferee is a U.S. Person, an affidavit in substantially the
form attached as Exhibit 8-B to Exhibit 8 to the Standard Terms. In addition,
if a proposed transfer involves a Private Certificate, (1) the Servicer or the
Trustee shall require that the transferor and transferee certify as to the
factual basis for the registration or qualification exemption(s) relied upon to
exempt the transfer from registration under the Act and all applicable state
securities or "blue sky" laws, and (2) if the transfer is to be made within
three years after the acquisition thereof by a non-Affiliate of the Company from
the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, the Servicer or the Trustee also
may require an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made without
registration or qualification under the Act and applicable state securities
laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the
Company, the Trustee or the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion
of Counsel shall be required in connection with the initial transfer of the
Residual Certificates or their transfer by a broker or dealer, if such broker
or dealer was the initial transferee. Notwithstanding the fulfillment of the
prerequisites described above, the Servicer may withhold its consent to, or
the Trustee may refuse to recognize, a transfer of a Residual Certificate, but
only to the extent necessary to avoid a risk of disqualification of a related
REMIC as a REMIC or the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC. Any attempted
transfer in violation of the foregoing restrictions shall be null and void and
shall not be recognized by the Trustee.
(b) If a tax or a reporting cost is borne by a related REMIC as a
result of the transfer of the Residual Certificates or any beneficial interest
therein, in violation of the restrictions referenced herein, the Transferor
shall pay such tax or cost and, if such tax or costs are not so paid, the
Trustee, upon notification from the Servicer, shall pay such tax or reporting
cost with amounts that otherwise would have been paid to the transferee of such
Residual Certificates. In that event, neither the Transferee nor the transferor
shall have any right to seek repayment of such amounts from the Company, the
Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust, the REMIC or the holders of any other
Certificates, and none of such parties shall have any liability for payment of
any such tax or reporting cost. In the event that a Residual Certificate is
transferred to a Disqualified Organization, the Servicer shall make, or cause to
be made, available the information necessary for the computation of the excise
tax imposed under section 860E(e) of the Code.
SECTION 5. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
(a) The Transferee acknowledges that, if the Residual Certificates are
Private Certificates, the Residual Certificates have not been registered under
the Act or registered or qualified under any state securities laws and that no
transfer may be made unless the Purchased Certificates are registered under the
Act and under applicable state law or unless an exemption from such registration
is available. The
Exhibit 8 - Page 5
Transferee further understands that neither the Company, the Servicer nor the
Trust is under any obligation to register the Certificate or make an exemption
from such registration available.
(b) The Transferee acknowledges that if any United States federal
income tax is due at the time a Non-U.S. Person transfers a Residual
Certificate, the Trustee or its designated Paying Agent or other person who is
liable to withhold federal income tax from a distribution on a Residual
Certificate under sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code and the regulations
thereunder (the "Withholding Agent") may (i) withhold an amount equal to the
taxes due upon disposition of the Certificate from future distributions made
with respect to the Certificate to the transferee (after giving effect to the
withholding of taxes imposed on such transferee), and (ii) pay the withheld
amount to the Internal Revenue Service unless satisfactory written evidence of
payment of the taxes due by the transferor has been provided to the Withholding
Agent. Moreover, the Withholding Agent may (x) hold distributions on a
Certificate, without interest, pending determination of amounts to be withheld,
(y) withhold other amounts required to be withheld pursuant to United States
federal income tax law, if any, from distributions that otherwise would be made
to such transferee on each Certificate it holds, and (z) pay to the Internal
Revenue Service all such amounts withheld.
(c) The Transferee acknowledges that the transfer of all or part of the
Residual Certificates that have "tax avoidance potential" (as defined in
Treasury Regulations section 1.860G- 3(a)(2) or any successor provision) to a
Non-U.S. Person will be disregarded for all federal income tax purposes.
(d) The Transferee acknowledges that the transfer of the Residual
Certificates to a U.S. Person will be disregarded for all federal income tax
purposes if a significant purpose of the transfer is to impede the assessment or
collection of the taxes and expenses associated with the security within the
meaning of Treasury regulation section 1.860E-1(c)(1).
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement be validly executed by its duly authorized representative as
of the day and year first above written.

affidavit.
2. The Transferee is acquiring all or a portion of the securities (the
"Residual Certificates"), which represent a residual interest in one or more
real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a "REMIC") for which elections
are to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code").
3. The Transferee is a foreign person within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860G-3(a)(1) (i.e., a person other than (i) a citizen or
resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or partnership that is
organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction thereof or
therein, (iii) an estate that is subject to United States federal income tax
regardless of the source of its income), or (iv) a trust if a court within the
United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of
the trust and one or more United States fiduciaries has the authority to control
all substantial decisions of the trust who would be subject to United States
income tax withholding pursuant to Section 1441 or 1442 of the Code on income
derived from the Residual Certificates (a "Non-U.S. Person").
Exhibit 8-A - Page 1
4. The Transferee agrees that it will not hold the Residual
Certificates in connection with a trade or business in the United States, and
the Transferee understands that it will be subject to United States federal
income tax under sections 871 and 881 of the Code in accordance with section
860G of the Code and any Treasury regulations issued thereunder on "excess
inclusions" that accrue with respect to the Residual Certificates during the
period the Transferee holds the Residual Certificates.
5. The Transferee understands that the federal income tax on excess
inclusions with respect to the Residual Certificates may be withheld in
accordance with section 860G(b) of the Code from distributions that otherwise
would be made to the Transferee on the Residual Certificates and, to the extent
that such tax has not been imposed previously, that such tax may be imposed at
the time of disposition of any such Residual Certificate pursuant to section
860G(b) of the Code.
6. The Transferee agrees (i) to file a timely United States federal
income tax return for the year in which disposition of a Residual Certificate it
holds occurs (or earlier if required by law) and will pay any United States
federal income tax due at that time and (ii) if any tax is due at that time, to
provide satisfactory written evidence of payment to the Trustee or its
designated paying agent or other person who is liable to withhold federal income
tax from a distribution on the Residual Certificates under sections 1441 and
1442 of the Code and the regulations thereunder (the "Withholding Agent").
7. The Transferee understands that, until such written notice is
provided, the Withholding Agent may (i) withhold an amount equal to the taxes

transferee on each Residual Certificates it holds and (ii) the Withholding Agent
may pay to the Internal Revenue Service amounts withheld on behalf of any and
all former holders of each Residual Certificate held by the Transferee.
9. The Transferee understands that if it transfers a Residual
Certificate (or any interest therein) to a United States Person (including a
foreign person who is subject to net United States federal income taxation with
respect to such Residual Certificate), the Withholding Agent may disregard the
transfer for federal income tax purposes if the transfer would have the effect
of allowing the Transferee to avoid tax on accrued excess inclusions and may
continue to withhold tax from future distributions as though the Residual
Certificate were still held by the Transferee.
10. The Transferee understands that a transfer of a Residual
Certificate (or any interest therein) to a Non-U.S. Person (i.e., a foreign
person who is not subject to net United States federal income tax with respect
to such Residual Certificate) will not be recognized unless the Withholding
Agent has received from
Exhibit 8-A - Page 2
the transferee an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit
containing these same agreements and representations.
11. The Transferee understands that distributions on a Residual
Certificate may be delayed, without interest, pending determination of amounts
to be withheld.
12. The Transferee is not a "Disqualified Organization" (as defined
below), and the Transferee is not acquiring a Residual Certificate for the
account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct
or indirect record or beneficial ownership to, a Disqualified Organization. For
the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following: (i)
the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any foreign
government, any international organization, or any agency or instrumentality of

taxation (including taxation under the unrelated business taxable income
provisions of the Code); (iii) any rural telephone or electrical service
cooperative described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code; or (iv) any other
entity so designated by Treasury rulings or regulations promulgated or otherwise

as an instrumentality of the United States or of any state or political
subdivision thereof if all of its activities are subject to tax and, with the
exception of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of its board
of directors is not selected by such governmental unit.
13. The Transferee agrees to consent to any amendment of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement that shall be deemed necessary by the Company (upon the
advice of counsel to the Company) to constitute a reasonable arrangement to
ensure that no interest in a Residual Certificate will be owned directly or
indirectly by a Disqualified Organization.
14. The Transferee acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would
impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an
agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any
Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization.

real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a "REMIC") for which elections
are to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code").
3. The Transferee either is (i) a citizen or resident of the United
States, (ii) a domestic partnership or corporation, (iii) an estate that is
subject to United States federal income tax regardless of the source of its
income, (iv) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise
primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United

4. The Transferee is a not a "Disqualified Organization" (as defined
below), and the Transferee is not acquiring a Residual Certificate for the
account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct
or indirect record or beneficial ownership to, a Disqualified Organization. For
the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following: (i)
the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any foreign
government, any international organization, or any agency or instrumentality of
any of the foregoing; (ii) any organization (other than a xxxxxx'x cooperative

provisions of the Code); (iii) any rural telephone or electrical service
cooperative described in 'SS' 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code; or (iv) any other
entity so designated by Treasury rulings or regulations promulgated or otherwise

exception of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of its board
of directors is not selected by such governmental unit.
5. The Transferee agrees to consent to any amendment of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement that shall be deemed necessary by the Issuer (upon advice of
counsel to the Issuer) to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that no
interest in a Residual Certificate will be owned directly or indirectly by a
Disqualified Organization.
6. The Transferee acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would
impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an
agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any
Residual Certificate to a Disqualified Organization.
