of the Mortgage Loan, certifying that such copy(ies) represent true and
correct copy(ies) of the original(s) and that such original(s) have
been or are currently submitted to be recorded in the appropriate
governmental recording office of the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located), or a certification or receipt of the recording
authority evidencing the same;
(viii) if the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or any other document
or instrument relating to the Mortgage Loan has been signed by a person
on behalf of the Mortgagor, the original power of attorney or other
instrument that authorized and empowered such person to sign bearing
evidence that such instrument has been recorded, if so required, in the
appropriate jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located as
determined by DLJMC (or, in lieu thereof, a duplicate or conformed copy
of such instrument, together with a certificate of receipt from the
related Seller or the settlement agent who handled the closing of the
Mortgage Loan, certifying that such copy(ies) represent true and
complete copy(ies)of the original(s) and that such original(s) have
been or are currently submitted to be recorded in the appropriate
governmental recording office of the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
62
Property is located) or a certification or receipt of the recording
authority evidencing the same; and
(ix) in the case of the First Mortgage Loans, the original
mortgage title insurance policy, or copy of title commitment (or in
appropriate jurisdictions, attorney's opinion of title and abstract of
title).
In the event the Seller delivers to the Trustee certified
copies of any document or instrument set forth in 2.01(b) because of a delay
caused by the public recording office in returning any recorded document, the
Seller shall deliver to the Trustee, within 60 days of the Closing Date, an
Officer's Certificate which shall (i) identify the recorded document, (ii) state
that the recorded document has not been delivered to the Trustee due solely to a
delay caused by the public recording office, and (iii) state the amount of time
generally required by the applicable recording office to record and return a
document submitted for recordation.
In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan the
Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage, (b) all interim
recorded assignments or (c) the lender's title policy (together with all riders
thereto) satisfying the requirements set forth above, concurrently with the
execution and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not been
returned from the applicable public recording office in the case of clause (a)
or (b) above, or because the title policy has not been delivered to the Seller
or the Depositor by the applicable title insurer in the case of clause (c)
above, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, in the case of
clause (a) or (b) above, such original Mortgage or such interim assignment, as
the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt
thereof from the public recording office, or a copy thereof, certified, if
appropriate, by the relevant recording office.
As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and
assignment, and in any event, within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Trustee
shall cause (at the Seller's expense) to (i) affix the Trustee's name to each
Assignment of Mortgage, as the assignee thereof, (ii) cause such assignment to
be in proper form for recording in the appropriate public office for real
property records within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof and (iii) cause
to be delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for real property
records the assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with
respect to any assignment of a Mortgage as to which the Trustee or the
Custodian, as applicable, has not received the information required to prepare
such assignment in recordable form, the Trustee's obligation to do so and to
deliver the same for such recording shall be as soon as practicable after
receipt of such information and in any event within thirty (30) days after the
receipt thereof, and the Trustee need not cause to be recorded (a) any
assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan in any jurisdiction under the laws
of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Seller (at the
Seller's expense) to the Trustee within 20 days of the Closing Date, acceptable
to the Rating Agencies, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to
protect the Trustee's and the Certificateholders' interest in the related
Mortgage Loan or (b) if MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly
recorded assignment of the Mortgage as the mortgagee of record solely as nominee
for the Seller and its successors and assigns.
In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan
registered on the MERS(R) System, the Depositor further agrees that it will
cause, at the Depositor's own expense, on or prior
63
to the Closing Date, the MERS(R) System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans
have been assigned by the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this
Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting,
in the case of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this
Agreement) in such computer files (a) the code "[IDENTIFY TRUSTEE SPECIFIC
CODE]" in the field "[IDENTIFY THE FIELD NAME FOR TRUSTEE]" which identifies the
Trustee and (b) the code "[IDENTIFY SERIES SPECIFIC CODE NUMBER]" in the field
"Pool Field" which identifies the series of the Certificates issued in
connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Depositor further agrees that it will
not, and will not permit the Servicer to, and the Servicer agrees that it will
not, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage
Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan is
repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) The Trustee is authorized to appoint any bank or trust
company approved by the Depositor as Custodian of the documents or instruments
referred to in this Section 2.01, and to enter into a Custodial Agreement for
such purpose and any documents delivered thereunder shall be delivered to the
Custodian and any Officer's Certificates delivered with respect thereto shall be
delivered to the Trustee and the Custodian.
(d) It is the express intent of the parties to this Agreement
that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee as
provided in this Section 2.01 be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage
Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the
parties to this Agreement that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the
Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the
intent of the parties to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans are held to be the
property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or
deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans then (a) this
Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of
Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; (b) the conveyance
provided for in this Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor
to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders of a security interest
in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans
and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary,
of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including
without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to
time held or invested in the Certificate Account, whether in the form of cash,
instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Trustee or
any Custodian of such items of property and such other items of property as
constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be
deemed to be "in possession by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the
security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial
Code; and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders for the purpose of perfecting such
security interest under applicable law (except that nothing in this clause (e)
shall cause any person to be deemed to be an agent of the Trustee for any
purpose other than for perfection of such security interests unless, and then
only to the extent, expressly appointed and authorized by the Trustee in
writing). The Depositor and the Trustee, upon directions from the Depositor,
shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take
64
such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed

would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under
applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this
Agreement.

Certificateholders, without recourse, all right, title and interest in the

Subsequent Mortgage Loans and all proceeds of any of the foregoing.
(f) Upon three Business Days' prior written notice to the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Rating Agencies, on any Business

SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by the Trustee.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt by the Custodian of the
documents identified in the Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit H and declares that the Custodian on its behalf holds and will hold the
documents delivered to the Custodian constituting the Mortgage Files, and that
it or the Custodian holds or will hold such other assets as are included in the
Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. The Trustee acknowledges that it
will maintain possession through the Custodian of the Mortgage Notes in the
State of Texas, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies.
The Custodian agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing
Date to the Depositor, the Seller, the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee and the
Servicer an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H. Based
on its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such
Initial Certification, the Custodian will acknowledge that such documents appear
regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee nor
the Custodian shall be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or
examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine
that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented
purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or
that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
67
Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian
is required to deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the Certificate Insurer,
the Trustee and the Servicer a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit I, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If, in the course of such review, the Custodian finds any
document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01, the Custodian will list such as an exception in
the Final Certification; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that neither the Trustee nor the
Custodian shall make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is
sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing,
as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any
assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of
and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment
relates.
The Seller shall promptly correct or cure such defect within
90 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if the Seller does
not correct or cure such defect within such period, the Seller shall either (a)
substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan,
which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 2.03, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from
the Trustee within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such defect
in writing at the Repurchase Price of such Mortgage Loan; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that in no event shall such substitution or repurchase occur more than 540 days
from the Closing Date, except that if the substitution or repurchase of a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay in
delivery of any documents by the appropriate recording office, then such
substitution or repurchase shall occur within 720 days from the Closing Date;
and FURTHER PROVIDED, that the Seller shall have no liability for recording any
Assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee or for the Trustee's failure to
record such Assignment of Mortgage, and the Seller shall not be obligated to
repurchase or cure any Mortgage Loan solely as a result of the Trustee's failure
to record such Assignment of Mortgage. The Trustee shall deliver written notice
to each Rating Agency and the Certificate Insurer within 270 days from the
Closing Date indicating each Mortgage Loan (a) the Assignment of Mortgage which
has not been returned by the appropriate recording office or (b) as to which
there is a dispute as to location or status of such Mortgage Loan. Such notice
shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until the Assignment of Mortgage for
the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee or the dispute as to
location or status has been resolved. Any such substitution pursuant to (a)
above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion
of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any substitution
pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to
the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N. No
substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date for such month. The Repurchase Price for any such Mortgage
Loan shall be deposited by the Seller in the Certificate Account on or prior to
the Business Day immediately preceding such Distribution Date in the month
following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit and
certification with respect thereto in the form of Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee
shall release the related Mortgage File to the Seller and shall execute and
deliver at such entity's request such instruments of transfer or assignment
prepared by such entity, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to
vest in such entity, or a designee, the Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Seller is not
a member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on the
MERS(R) System, the Seller, at its own expense and without any right of
reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the
Mortgage in
68
recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause
such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in
accordance with MERS' rules and regulations.
The Custodian agrees to execute and deliver on the Subsequent
Transfer Date to the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer
and the Servicer an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit
H. Based on its review and examination or the Custodian's review and
examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Subsequent
Certification, the Custodian will acknowledge that such documents appear regular
on their face and relate to such Subsequent Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee
nor the Custodian shall be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or
examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine
that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented
purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or
that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
Not later than 90 days after the end of the Pre-Funding
Period, the Custodian is required to deliver the Depositor, the Seller, the
Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the Servicer a Final Certification with
respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit
I, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If, in the course of such review of the Mortgage Files
relating to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, the Trustee or the Custodian finds
any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01, the Trustee shall or shall cause the Custodian to
list such as an exception in the Final Certification; PROVIDED, HOWEVER that
neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall make any determination as to whether
(i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of
the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that
Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to
effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage
to which the assignment relates. The Seller shall cure any such defect or
repurchase or substitute for any such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section
2.02(a).
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller
to cure, substitute for or to repurchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet
the requirements of Section 2.01 shall constitute the sole remedy respecting
such defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder
against the Seller.
The Trustee shall pay to the Custodian from time to time reasonable
compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder or under the Custodial
Agreement, and the Trustee shall pay or reimburse the Custodian upon its request
for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Custodian in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement or the
Custodial Agreement, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may
arise from its negligence or bad faith.
SECTION 2.03. Representations and Warranties of the Seller, the Special
Servicer and Servicer.
69
(a) The Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties
applicable to it set forth in Schedule II hereto, and by this reference
incorporated herein, to the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee,
as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date or
such other date as may be specified.
(b) Vesta, in its capacity as Special Servicer, hereby makes
the representations and warranties applicable to it set forth in Schedule III
hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as
of the Cut-off Date or such other date as may be specified.
(c) Wilshire, in its capacity as the Servicer, hereby makes
the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule IV hereto, and by this
reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer, the
Special Servicer and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified
therein, as of the applicable Cut-off Date.
(d) Wilshire, in its capacity as the Servicer, will use its
reasonable efforts to become a member of MERS in good standing, and will comply
in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection
with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS.
(e) The Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties
set forth in Schedule V as applicable hereto, and by this reference incorporated
herein, to the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or the Subsequent Transfer Date,
as applicable, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut- off Date or such other
date as may be specified.
(f) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto or the
Certificate Insurer of a breach of a representation or warranty made pursuant to
Section 2.03(e) that materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan (determined without regard to the
Certificate Insurance Policy), the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt notice thereof to the other parties and to the Certificate Insurer. The
Seller hereby covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or
its receipt of written notice from any party of a breach of any representation
or warranty made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(e) which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders (determined without
regard to the Certificate Insurance Policy) in any Mortgage Loan sold by the
Seller to the Depositor, it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and
if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such 90-day period expires prior
to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a
"DELETED MORTGAGE LOAN") from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan from
the Trustee at the Repurchase Price in the manner set forth below; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected
prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by
Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any such substitution pursuant to (i) above
shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a
Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N and the Mortgage File
for any such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall promptly
reimburse the Trustee for any actual out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred
by the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. With
respect to any representation and warranties described in this Section which are
made to the best of a Seller's knowledge if it is discovered by the Depositor,
the Seller, the
70
Certificate Insurer or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and
warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the
value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders
therein (determined without regard to the Certificate Insurance Policy),
notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of
such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the
applicable representation or warranty.
With respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, the Seller shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of
the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section
2.01(b), with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required
by Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month
after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect
to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be
part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller on the next succeeding
Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to
Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted Mortgage
Loan for such month and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to retain all
amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall
amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to
reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Seller shall deliver the
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer. Upon
such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be
subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be
deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made
pursuant to Section 2.03(b) with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such
substitution and the deposit to the Certificate Account of the amount required
to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the
following paragraph, the Trustee shall release the Mortgage File held for the
benefit of the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the
Seller and shall execute and deliver at the Seller's direction such instruments
of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to vest title in the Seller, or its designee, the
Trustee's interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this
Section 2.03.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the
Trustee shall determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal
balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of
substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such
Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the scheduled principal portion of
the monthly payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such
shortage (the "SUBSTITUTION ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT") plus an amount equal to the
aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage
Loans shall be deposited in the Certificate Account by the Seller on or before
the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date in the month
succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan became
required to be repurchased or replaced hereunder.
In the event that the Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage
Loan, the Repurchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate
Account on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution
Date in the month following the month during which the
71
Seller became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan
and upon such deposit of the Repurchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of
Counsel if required by Section 2.05 and receipt of a Request for Release in the
form of Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File
held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver at such Person's direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of any Person to cure,
repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and
is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against such Persons respecting
such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on
their behalf.
The representations and warranties made pursuant to this
Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the
Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee
and the Certificate Insurer with respect to the Mortgage Loans that, as of the
Closing Date, assuming good title has been conveyed to the Depositor, the
Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and Mortgage Notes, and did not
encumber the Mortgage Loans during its period of ownership thereof, other than
as contemplated by the Agreement.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage
Files to the Trustee.
SECTION 2.05. Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
Substitutions.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no
substitution pursuant to Section 2.02 shall be made more than 90 days after the
Closing Date unless the Seller delivers to the Trustee and the Certificate
Insurer an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the
expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to
the effect that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of the
tax on "prohibited transactions" on the Trust Fund or contributions after the
Startup Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code,
respectively, or (ii) cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
SECTION 2.06. Execution and Delivery of Certificates; Conveyance of
Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests.
(a) The Trustee (or the Custodian) acknowledges receipt of the
items described in Section 2.02 of this Agreement and the documents identified
in the Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H and,
concurrently with such receipt, has executed and delivered to or upon the order
of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing
directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee
agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights referred to above for the
benefit of all present and future Holders of the
72
Certificates and to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement to the best
of its ability, to the end that the interests of the Holders of the Certificates
may be adequately and effectively protected.
(b) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and
delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in
trust to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the
Depositor in and to the Uncertificated REMIC 1 Regular Interests for the benefit
of the Holders of the Uncertificated REMIC 2 Regular Interests and the Holders
of the Class A-R-2 Certificates. The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the
Uncertified REMIC 1 Regular Interests (each of which is uncertificated) and
declares that it holds and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and
benefit of the Holders of the Uncertificated REMIC 2 Regular Interests and
Holders of the Class A-R-2 Certificates. The interests evidenced by the Class
A-R-2 Certificates, together with the Uncertificated REMIC 2 Regular Interests,
constitute the entire beneficial ownership interest in REMIC 2.
(c) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and
delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in
trust to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the
Depositor in and to the Uncertificated REMIC 2 Regular Interests for the benefit
of the holders of the Regular Certificates and the Class A-R-3 Certificates. The
Trustee acknowledges receipt of the Uncertificated REMIC 2 Regular Interests
(each of which is uncertificated) and declares that it holds and will hold the
same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the holders of the Regular
Certificates and the Class A-R-3 Certificates. The interests evidenced by the
Class X- X-0 Certificate, together with the Regular Certificates, constitute the
entire beneficial ownership interest in REMIC 3.
(d) In exchange for the Uncertificated REMIC 2 Regular
Interests and, concurrently with the assignment to the Trustee thereof, pursuant
to the written request of the Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor,
the Trustee has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of
the Depositor, the Regular Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing
(together with the Class A-R-3 Certificates) the entire beneficial ownership
interest in REMIC 3.
SECTION 2.07. REMIC Matters.
The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and
"latest possible maturity date" for federal income tax purposes of all interests
created hereby. The "Startup Day" for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be
the Closing Date. The Uncertificated REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall be
designated as the "regular interests" and the Class A-R-1 Certificates shall be
designated as the sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC 1. The
Uncertificated REMIC 2 Regular Interests shall be designated as the "regular

REMIC Regular Interests. The "tax matters person" with respect to each of REMIC

related Tax Matters Person Certificate in the manner
73
provided under Treasury regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.
For and on behalf of the Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer, the Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and with Accepted Servicing
Practices. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, any Servicing Agreement
or any Loss Mitigation Advisory Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer shall
have no duty or obligation to enforce any Loss Mitigation Advisory Agreement or
to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of the Loss Mitigation Advisor
under its Loss Mitigation Advisory Agreement with respect to any action taken or
not taken by a Servicer pursuant to a recommendation of the Loss Mitigation
Advisor. In connection with such servicing and administration, the Servicer
shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as
provided in Section 3.02 hereof, to do or cause to be done any and all things
that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and
administration, including but not limited to, the power and authority, subject
to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other
instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged
Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only
in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance
Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or
other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any
Mortgage Loan; provided that the Servicer shall not take any action that is
inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the
Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The
Trustee will provide a limited power of attorney to the Servicer, prepared by
the Servicer and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, to permit the Servicer to
act on behalf of the Trustee under this Agreement. The Servicer hereby
indemnifies the Trustee for all costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee in
connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such power of attorney. The
Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same
manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio
in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan. The Servicer
further is hereby authorized and empowered in its own name or in the name of the
Subservicer, when such Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes
it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the
MERS(R) System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan
on the MERS(R) System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and
other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of
a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its
successors and assigns. Any expenses incurred in connection with the actions
described in the preceding sentence shall be borne by the Servicer in accordance
with Section 3.14, with no right of reimbursement; provided, that if, as a
result of MERS discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in
connection with the MERS(R) System, it becomes necessary to remove any Mortgage
Loan from registration on the MERS(R) System and
75
to arrange for the assignment of the related Mortgages to the Trustee, then any
related expenses shall be reimbursable by the Trust Fund to the Servicer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 3.05(a), the Servicers shall
not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any Mortgage Loan
that would both constitute a sale or exchange of such Mortgage Loan within the
meaning of Section 1001 of the Code and any proposed, temporary or final
regulations promulgated thereunder (other than in connection with a proposed
conveyance or assumption of such Mortgage Loan that is treated as a Principal
Prepayment in Full pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof) which would cause any of
REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a REMIC. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the
Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor
and the Trustee, when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable
judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to
the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The
Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such
documents requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer the
Mortgage Loans to the extent that the Servicer is not permitted to execute and
deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such
documents and a written request signed by an authorized officer, the Depositor
and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to the
Servicer.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph,
and subject to the terms of the Special Hazard Insurance Policy, the Servicer
shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of
effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties,
which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related
collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further as
provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Servicer, if any, in
effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of
calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the
Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that
the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
Subject to Section 3.16, the Trustee shall execute, at the
written request of the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and any Subservicer
such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or any
Subservicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder,
and the Trustee hereby grants to the Servicer a power of attorney to carry out
such duties. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicer or
any Subservicers under such powers of attorney.
If the Mortgage relating to a Mortgage Loan had a lien senior
to the Mortgage Loan on the related Mortgaged Property as of the Cut-off Date,
then the Servicer, in such capacity, may consent to the refinancing of the prior
senior lien, provided that the following requirements are met:
(i) the resulting Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such
Mortgage Loan is no higher than the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio prior
to such refinancing; and
76
(ii) the interest rate, or, in the case of an adjustable rate
existing senior lien, the maximum interest rate, for the loan
evidencing the refinanced senior lien is no more than 2.0% higher than
the interest rate or the maximum interest rate, as the case may be, on
the loan evidencing the existing senior lien immediately prior to the
date of such refinancing; and
(iii) the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien is not
subject to negative amortization.
SECTION 3.02. Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of
Subservicers.
(a) The Mortgage Loans may be subserviced by a Subservicer on
behalf of the Servicer in accordance with the servicing provisions of this
Agreement, provided that the Subservicer is a FNMA-approved lender or a FHLMC
seller/servicer in good standing. The Servicer may perform any of its servicing
responsibilities hereunder or may cause the Subservicer to perform any such
servicing responsibilities on its behalf, but the use by the Servicer of the
Subservicer shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder
and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and omissions
of the Subservicer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those of the
Servicer. The Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of any Subservicer
engaged by the Servicer from its own funds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall be entitled
to outsource one or more separate servicing functions to a Person (each, an
"OUTSOURCER") that does not meet the eligibility requirements for a Subservicer,
so long as such outsourcing does not constitute the delegation of the Servicer's
obligation to perform all or substantially all of the servicing of the related
Mortgage Loans to such Outsourcer. In such event, the use by the Servicer of any
such Outsourcer shall not release the Servicer from any of its obligations
hereunder and the Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts and
omissions of such Outsourcer as fully as if such acts and omissions were those
of the Servicer, and the Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of the
Outsourcer from the Servicer's own funds.
(b) At the cost and expense of the Servicer, without any right
of reimbursement from the Depositor, Trustee, the Trust Fund, or the applicable
Collection Account, the Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and
responsibilities of its Subservicer and arrange for any servicing
responsibilities to be performed by a successor Subservicer meeting the
requirements set forth in Section 3.02(a), provided, however, that nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to prevent or prohibit the Servicer, at the
Servicer's option, from electing to service the related Mortgage Loans itself.
In the event that the Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this
Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 7.01, and if requested to do so by
the Trustee, the Servicer shall at its own cost and expense terminate the rights
and responsibilities of its Subservicer as soon as is reasonably possible. The
Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or penalties necessary in order to
terminate the rights and responsibilities of its Subservicer from the Servicer's
own funds without any right of reimbursement from the Depositor, Trustee, the
Trust Fund, or the applicable Collection Account.
(c) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement
relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and its Subservicer,
the Servicer and its
77
Outsourcer, or any reference herein to actions taken through the Subservicer,
the Outsourcer, or otherwise, the Servicer shall not be relieved of its
obligations to the Depositor, Trustee or Certificateholders and shall be
obligated to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions
as if it alone were servicing and administering the related Mortgage Loans. The
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with its Subservicer and
Outsourcer for indemnification of the Servicer or Outsourcer, as applicable, by
such Subservicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to
limit or modify such indemnification.
For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed
to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the
related Mortgage Loans that are received by a related Subservicer or Outsourcer,
as applicable, regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the
Subservicer or Outsourcer, as applicable, to the Servicer.
Any Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer or an Outsourcer
shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer or an Outsourcer, and the Servicer
alone, and the Depositor and the Trustee shall have no obligations, duties or
liabilities with respect to a Subservicer including no obligation, duty or
liability of the Depositor and Trustee or the Trust Fund to pay a Subservicer's
fees and expenses.
SECTION 3.03. [Reserved].
SECTION 3.04. Trustee to Act as Servicer; The Special Servicer.
(a) In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no
longer be the Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default),
the Trustee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the
Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.09 hereof or any acts or omissions of the related predecessor Servicer
hereunder, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by
applicable law or (iii) deemed to have made any representations and warranties
of the Servicer hereunder). Any such assumption shall be subject to Section 7.02
hereof.
The Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the
expense of the Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records
relating to each Subservicing Agreement or substitute Subservicing Agreement and
the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and hereunder by the Servicer
and an accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute
Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party.
(b) If directed by Vesta and solely at Vesta's option, the
Servicer shall transfer the servicing of any Group II Mortgage Loan 91 days or
more delinquent to Vesta. Vesta shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer hereunder arising thereafter whether or not Vesta or
the Servicer is hereafter referenced as having such obligation (except that
Vesta shall not be (i) liable for losses of such Servicer pursuant to Section
3.09 hereof or any acts or omissions of the related predecessor Servicer
hereunder prior to the transfer of such servicing or (ii) deemed to have made
any representations and warranties of the predecessor Servicer hereunder). Upon
the transfer of the servicing of any such Group II Mortgage Loan to Vesta, Vesta
shall (i) be entitled to the Servicing Fee and other compensation with respect
to such Group II Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.14 and (ii) reimburse the
Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances and
78
Servicing Advances made by the Servicer and any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee
due to the Servicer with respect to such servicing.
In connection with the transfer of the servicing of any Group
II Mortgage Loan to Vesta, the Servicer shall, at Vesta's expense, deliver to
Vesta all documents and records relating to such Mortgage Loans and an
accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts
to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the servicing to Vesta. In
addition, Vesta shall notify the Trustee of such transfer and amend the Mortgage
Loan Schedule to reflect that such Mortgage Loans are Special Serviced Loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Vesta may be replaced as
Special Servicer of such Group II Mortgage Loans by the holders of 51% of the
aggregate Class Principal Balance of the Class II-B Certificates.
SECTION 3.05. Collection of Mortgage Loans; Collection Accounts;
Certificate Account; Pre-Funding Account; Capitalized Interest Account.
(a) Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and
interest on all Mortgage Loans have been paid in full or such Mortgage Loans
have become Liquidated Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall proceed in accordance
with the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan
servicers to collect all payments due under each of the related Mortgage Loans
when the same shall become due and payable to the extent consistent with this
Agreement and shall take special care with respect to Mortgage Loans for which
the Servicer collects escrow payments in ascertaining and estimating Escrow
Payments and all other charges that will become due and payable with respect to
the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties, to the end that the
installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient to pay such charges as
and when they become due and payable. Consistent with the terms of this
Agreement, the Servicer may also waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage
Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or
in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in such Servicer's
determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not
materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into
account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action);
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Servicer may not modify materially or permit any
Subservicer to modify any Mortgage Loan, including without limitation any
modification that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of any
principal or interest (unless in connection with the liquidation of the related
Mortgage Loan or except in connection with prepayments to the extent that such
reamortization is not inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage Loan), or
extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan, unless such Mortgage Loan
is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably
foreseeable; and that no such modification shall reduce the interest rate on a
Mortgage Loan below the rate at which the Servicing Fee with respect to such
Mortgage Loan accrues; provided however, no such modification will be granted
without the prior consent of the Pool Insurer if so required in the Pool
Insurance Policy or the Special Hazard Insurer if so required in the Special
Hazard Insurance Policy. In the event of any such arrangement, the Servicer
shall make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.01 during the scheduled period in accordance with the
amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by
reason of such arrangements. The Servicer shall not be required to institute or
join in litigation with respect to collection of any
79
payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any
public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it
reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other
instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by
applicable law.
(b) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected
and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own
funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Collection
Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts, titled "[Servicer's
name], in trust for the Holders of Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage
Securities Corp., CSFB Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2001-S15" or,
if established and maintained by a Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer,
"[Subservicer's name], in trust for [Servicer's name]" or "[Subservicer's name],
as agent, trustee and/or bailee of principal and interest custodial account for
[Servicer's name], its successors and assigns, for various owners of interest in
[Servicer's name] mortgage-backed pools". Each Collection Account shall be an
Eligible Account. Any funds deposited in a Collection Account shall at all times
be either invested in Eligible Investments or shall be fully insured to the full
extent permitted under applicable law. Funds deposited in a Collection Account
may be drawn on by the Servicer in accordance with Section 3.08.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account on a
daily basis and retain therein, the following collections remitted by
Subservicers or payments received by the Servicer and payments made by the
Servicer subsequent to the Cut-off Date, other than payments of principal and
interest due on or before the Cut-off Date:
(i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage
Loans, including all Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans
adjusted to the per annum rate equal to the Mortgage Rate reduced by
the related Servicing Fee Rate;
(iii) all Liquidation Proceeds on the Mortgage Loans;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds on the Mortgage Loans including
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.09 (other than
proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account and applied to the
restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with Section 3.09);
(v) all Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section
4.01;
(vi) with respect to each Principal Prepayment on the Mortgage
Loans, the Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for the Prepayment
Period. The aggregate of such deposits shall be made from the
Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement therefor, up to a maximum
amount per month equal to the Compensating Interest Payment, if any,
for the Mortgage Loans and that Distribution Date;
(vii) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in
respect of net monthly income from REO Property pursuant to Section
3.11; and
80
(viii) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder
including all collected Prepayment Penalties.
The foregoing requirements for deposit into each Collection
Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Ancillary Income need not be deposited
by the Servicer into such Collection Account. In addition, notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 3.05, the Servicer may deduct from amounts received
by it, prior to deposit to the applicable Collection Account, any portion of any
Scheduled Payment representing the applicable Servicing Fee. In the event that
the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted, it may at any
time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the related Collection
Account to withdraw such amount from such Collection Account, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be
accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the Trustee or such other
institution maintaining such Collection Account which describes the amounts
deposited in error in such Collection Account. The Servicer shall maintain
adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made by it pursuant to this
Section. All funds deposited in a Collection Account shall be held in trust for
the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08.
(c) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Certificate
Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Certificate
Account and retain therein the following:
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Servicer to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 3.08(viii);
(ii) any amount deposited by the Trustee pursuant to Section
3.05(e) in connection with any losses on Eligible Investments; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required
to be deposited in the Certificate Account.
In the event that the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee any
amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to
withdraw such amount from the Certificate Account, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an
Officer's Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in
error in the Certificate Account. All funds deposited in the Certificate Account
shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed
in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section
3.08(b). In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the
Certificate Account at the direction of the Servicer.
(d) Each institution at which a Collection Account, the
Certificate Account or the Pre-Funding Account is maintained shall either hold
such funds on deposit uninvested or shall invest the funds therein as directed
in writing by the Servicer (in the case of a Collection Account), the Trustee
(in the case of the Certificate Account) or the Depositor (in the case of the
Pre-Funding Account), in Eligible Investments, which shall mature not later than
(i) in the case of a Collection Account, the second Business Day immediately
preceding the related Distribution Date and (ii) in
81
the case of the Certificate Account and the Pre-Funding Account, the Business
Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date and, in each case, shall not be
sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All income and gain net of any losses
realized from any such balances or investment of funds on deposit in a
Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as servicing
compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided herein. The amount
of any realized losses in a Collection Account incurred in any such account in
respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Servicer in
the related Collection Account. The Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall not
be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or
lack of investment of funds held in a Collection Account or the Pre-Funding
Account. All income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment
of funds on deposit in the Certificate Account shall be for the benefit of the
Trustee as compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided herein.
The amount of any realized losses in the Certificate Account incurred in any
such account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by
the Trustee in the Certificate Account. All income and gain net of any losses
realized from any such balances or investment of funds on deposit in the
Pre-Funding Account shall be for the benefit of the Depositor and shall be
remitted to it monthly.
(e) The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Seller,
each Rating Agency, the Certificate Insurer and the Depositor of any proposed
change of the location of the related Collection Account prior to any change
thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Servicer, the Seller, each Rating
Agency, the Certificate Insurer and the Depositor of any proposed change of the
location of the Certificate Account prior to any change thereof.
(f) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Pre-Funding Account. On the Closing Date the Depositor
shall remit the Pre-Funded Amount to the Trustee for deposit in the Pre-Funding
Account. On each Subsequent Transfer Date, upon satisfaction of the conditions
for such Subsequent Transfer Date set forth in Section 2.01(g), with respect to
the related Subsequent Transfer Agreement, the Trustee shall remit to the
Depositor the applicable Aggregate Subsequent Transfer Amount as payment of the
purchase price for the related Subsequent Mortgage Loans.
If any funds remain in the Pre-Funding Account on October 24,
2001, to the extent that they represent interest earnings on the amounts
originally deposited into the Pre-Funding Account, the Trustee shall distribute
them to the order of the Depositor. The remaining funds shall be transferred to
the Certificate Account to be included as part of principal distributions to the
Class II-A-1 Certificates on the October 2001 Distribution Date.
(g) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Capitalized Interest Account. On the Closing Date the
Depositor shall remit the Capitalized Interest Deposit to the Trustee for
deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account. On the Business Day prior to each
of the August 2001, September 2001 and October 2001 Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall transfer from the Capitalized Interest Account to the Certificate
Account an amount equal to the Capitalized Interest Requirement for such
Distribution Date. On each of the August 2001 and September 2001 Distribution
Dates, any Overfunded Interest Amount shall be withdrawn from the Capitalized
Interest Account and paid to the Depositor. Any funds remaining in the
Capitalized
82
Interest Account immediately after the October 2001 Distribution Date shall be
paid to the Depositor.
SECTION 3.06. Establishment of and Deposits to Escrow Accounts;
Permitted Withdrawals from Escrow Accounts; Payments of Taxes, Insurance and
Other Charges; Simple Interest Excess Sub-Accounts; Deposits in Simple Interest
Excess Sub-Accounts.
(a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and
not violative of current law, the Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan constituting Escrow Payments
separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall
establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit
or demand accounts, titled, "Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities
Corp., CSFB Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2001-S15" or, if
established and maintained by a Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer,
"[Subservicer's name], in trust for [Servicer's name]" or "[Subservicer's name],
as agent, trustee and/or bailee of taxes and insurance custodial account for
[Servicer's name], its successors and assigns, for various owners of interest in
[Servicer's name] mortgage-backed pools". The Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible
Accounts. Funds deposited in the Escrow Account may be drawn on by the Servicer
in accordance with Section 3.06(b). The creation of any Escrow Account shall be
evidenced by a certification in the form of Exhibit Q-1 hereto, in the case of
an account established with the Servicer, or by a letter agreement in the form
of Exhibit Q-2 hereto, in the case of an account held by a depository other than
the Servicer. A copy of such certification shall be furnished to the Depositor
and Trustee.
(b) The Servicer shall deposit in its Escrow Account or
Accounts on a daily basis within one Business Day of receipt and retain therein:
(i) all Escrow Payments collected on account of the related
Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such
items as required under the terms of this Agreement; and
(ii) all amounts representing Insurance Proceeds which are to
be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property.
The Servicer shall make withdrawals from the Escrow Account
only to effect such payments as are required under this Agreement, as set forth
in Section 3.06(d). The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid
on funds deposited in the related Escrow Account by the depository institution,
other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the
Mortgagor. To the extent required by law, the applicable Servicer shall pay
interest on escrowed funds to the Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow
Account may be non-interest bearing or that interest paid thereon is
insufficient for such purposes.
(c) Withdrawals from the Escrow Account or Accounts may be
made by the Servicer only:
83
(i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes,
assessments, water rates, mortgage insurance premiums, condominium
charges, fire and hazard insurance premiums or other items constituting
Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage;
(ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Servicing Advances made
by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06(e) with respect to a related

Loan;

termination of this Agreement.
(d) No later than the Closing Date, the Servicer shall
establish and maintain a sub-account of the Collection Account titled
"[Servicer's name], Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account in trust for the Holders
of Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2001-S15". The Servicer shall, on each Determination Date
transfer from the Collection Account to the Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account
all Net Simple Interest Excess, if any, pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(ix), and
shall maintain a record of all such deposits.
(e) The Servicer shall withdraw amounts on deposit in the
applicable Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account on each Determination Date for
deposit to the Certificate Account in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the
amount on deposit therein, and (ii) the Net Simple Interest Shortfall for such
Distribution Date.
(f) The Servicer shall remit to the Trustee which shall
thereupon distribute to the Class II-X Certificateholder 90% of the balance in
the applicable Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account on the Distribution Date each
year occurring in June, commencing in June 2002. Such distributions shall be
deemed to be made on a first-in, first-out basis. In addition, the Servicer
shall clear and terminate each related Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account upon
the termination of this Agreement and retain any funds remaining therein.
84
(g) Amounts on deposit in the Simple Interest Excess
Sub-Accounts may be invested in Eligible Investments. All income and gain net of
any losses realized from any such balances or investment of funds on deposit in
a Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as
servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly. The amount of any
net investment losses in a Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account shall promptly be
deposited by the Servicer in such Simple Interest Excess Sub-Account.
SECTION 3.07. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
the Mortgage Loans; Inspections.
(a) The Servicer shall afford the Depositor, the Certificate
Insurer and the Trustee reasonable access to all records and documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans and all accounts, insurance information and other
matters relating to this Agreement, such access being afforded without charge,
but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the office
designated by the Servicer. In addition, the Servicer shall provide to Vesta
reasonable access to all records and documentation regarding the Group II
Mortgage Loans serviced by it that become Special Serviced Mortgage Loans.
(b) The Servicer shall inspect the Mortgaged Properties as
often as deemed necessary by the Servicer in the Servicer's sole discretion, to
assure itself that the value of such Mortgaged Property is being preserved. In
addition, if any Mortgage Loan is more than 60 days delinquent, the Servicer
shall conduct subsequent inspections in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices or as may be required by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer. The
Servicer shall keep a written or electronic report of each such inspection.
SECTION 3.08. Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Accounts and
Certificate Account.
The Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the
related Collection Account for the following purposes:

additional servicing compensation, earnings on or investment income
with respect to funds in or credited to such Collection Account;
(ii) to reimburse the Servicer for unreimbursed Advances made
by it, such right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii)

the extent received by the Servicer);
(iii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance
previously made;
(iv) to reimburse the Servicer for (A) unreimbursed Servicing

Loan being limited to amounts received on such Mortgage Loan which
represent late payments of principal and/or interest (including,
without limitation, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds with
respect to such Mortgage Loan) respecting which any such advance was
made and (B) for unpaid Servicing Fees as provided in Section 3.11
hereof;
(v) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage

Mortgage Loan basis for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the

making any withdrawal from a Collection Account pursuant to subclause (iii), the
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer
indicating the amount of any previous Advance determined by the Servicer to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loans(s), and their
respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance.
The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Certificate Account
for distributions to Certificateholders, the Loss Mitigation Advisor, the Pool
Insurer, the Special Hazard Insurer and the Certificate Insurer, if applicable,
in the manner specified in this Agreement (and to withhold from the amounts so
withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that it is authorized to withhold pursuant to
the last paragraph of Section 8.11). In addition, the Trustee may from time to
time make withdrawals from the Certificate Account for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to itself the Trustee Fee and any investment income
earned for the related Distribution Date;
86
(ii) to withdraw and return to the Servicer for deposit to the
Collection Account any amount deposited in the Certificate Account and
not required to be deposited therein; and
(iii) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.
SECTION 3.09. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Mortgage Impairment
Insurance; Claims; Restoration of Mortgaged Property.
The Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy
insuring against losses arising from fire and hazards covered under extended
coverage on all of the related Mortgage Loans, which policy shall provide
coverage in an amount equal to the amount at least equal to the lesser of (i)
the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and
(ii) the greater of (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan
and (B) an amount such that the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to
prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming co-insurer. Any amounts
collected by a Servicer under any such policy relating to a Mortgage Loan shall
be deposited in the related Collection Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 3.08. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case, in the
event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property a standard hazard insurance policy, and there shall have been a loss
which would have been covered by such policy, the Servicer shall deposit in the
related Collection Account at the time of such loss the amount not otherwise
payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause, such amount
to be deposited from such Servicer's funds, without reimbursement therefor. Upon
request of the Trustee, a Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee a
certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder
that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without
30 days' prior written notice to the Trustee. In connection with its activities
as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of
itself, the Depositor, and the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.
Pursuant to Section 3.05, any amounts collected by the
Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be deposited in the
related Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of the related
Mortgaged Property, or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or
to be released to the Mortgagor, in accordance with the Servicer's normal
servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the related Collection Account
(subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.08).
The Servicer need not obtain the approval of the Trustee prior
to releasing any Insurance Proceeds to the Mortgagor to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property if such release is in accordance
with Accepted Servicing Practices. At a minimum, each Servicer shall comply with
the following conditions in connection with any such release of Insurance
Proceeds:
(i) the Servicer shall receive satisfactory independent
verification of completion of repairs and issuance of any required
approvals with respect thereto;
87
(ii) the Servicer shall take all steps necessary to preserve
the priority of the lien of the Mortgage, including, but not limited to
requiring waivers with respect to mechanics' and materialmen's liens;
and
(iii) pending repairs or restoration, the Servicer shall place
the Insurance Proceeds in the related Escrow Account.
If the Trustee is named as an additional loss payee, the
Servicer is hereby empowered to endorse any loss draft issued in respect of such
a claim in the name of the Trustee.
SECTION 3.10. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
The Servicer shall use its best efforts to enforce any
"due-on-sale" provision contained in any related Mortgage or Mortgage Note and
to deny assumption by the person to whom the Mortgaged Property has been or is
about to be sold whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and
whether or not the Mortgagor remains liable on the Mortgage and the Mortgage
Note. When the Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the
Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, exercise its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the "due-on-sale"
clause applicable thereto, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not
exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of
such rights would impair or threaten to impair any recovery under the related
Primary Insurance Policy, if any.
If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under
applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, the Servicer shall with the
prior written consent of the Pool Insurer enter into (i) an assumption and
modification agreement with the person to whom such property has been conveyed,
pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the
original Mortgagor remains liable thereon or (ii) in the event the Servicer is
unable under applicable law to require that the original Mortgagor remain liable
under the Mortgage Note and the Servicer has the prior consent of the primary
mortgage guaranty insurer, a substitution of liability agreement with the
purchaser of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is
released from liability and the purchaser of the Mortgaged Property is
substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default
under this Section by reason of any transfer or assumption which the Servicer
reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the
Mortgage Note, including without limitation, the Mortgage Rate borne by the
related Mortgage Note, the term of the Mortgage Loan or the outstanding
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall be changed.
To the extent that any Mortgage Loan is assumable, the
Servicer shall inquire diligently into the creditworthiness of the proposed
transferee, and shall use the underwriting criteria for approving the credit of
the proposed transferee which are used by FNMA with respect to underwriting
mortgage loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans. If the credit of the
proposed transferee does not meet such underwriting criteria, the Servicer
diligently shall, to the extent permitted by the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note
and by applicable law, accelerate the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.
88
Subject to the Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale
clause to the extent set forth in this Section 3.10, in any case in which a
Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person
is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement
to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or
if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the
Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall prepare and
deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and
shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with
the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such
modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other
instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws
regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person.
In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
may be changed. Together with each such substitution, assumption or other
agreement or instrument delivered to the Trustee for execution by it, the
Servicer shall deliver an Officer's Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer
stating that the requirements of this Section 3.10 have been met in connection
therewith. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or
assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the
original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of the
original shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all
purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all
other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected
by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
SECTION 3.11. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of
Certain Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose
upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such
of the related Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to
which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments. With respect to such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue
in default, the Servicer will decide whether to (i) foreclose upon the Mortgaged
Properties securing such Mortgage Loans, (ii) write off the unpaid principal
balance of the Mortgage Loans as bad debt, (iii) take a deed in lieu of
foreclosure, (iv) accept a short sale (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an
amount less than the total amount contractually owed in order to facilitate a
sale of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor) or permit a short refinancing
(a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the total amount
contractually owed in order to facilitate refinancing transactions by the
Mortgagor not involving a sale of the Mortgaged Property), (v) arrange for a
repayment plan, or (vi) agree to a modification in accordance with this
Agreement. In connection with such decision, the Servicer shall take such action
as (i) the Servicer would take under similar circumstances with respect to a
similar mortgage loan held for its own account for investment, (ii) shall be
consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, (iii) the Servicer shall determine
consistently with Accepted Servicing Practices to be in the best interest of the
Trustee and Certificateholders, and (iv) is consistent with the requirements of
the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy, the Pool Insurer under the Pool
Insurance Policy and the Special Hazard Insurer under the Special Hazard Pool
Insurance Policy; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Servicer shall not be required to
expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the
restoration of any property unless it shall
89
determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the
proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to
itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it
through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for
purposes of withdrawals from the related Collection Account). The Servicer shall
be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such
proceedings; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement
thereof from the liquidation proceeds with respect to the related Mortgaged
Property, as provided in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds and as provided
in Section 3.08(iv)(A).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, in connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure, in the event the Servicer has reasonable cause to believe that a
Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes,
or if the Trustee otherwise requests, an environmental inspection or review of
such Mortgaged Property conducted by a qualified inspector shall be arranged for
by the Servicer. Upon completion of the inspection, the Servicer shall promptly
provide the Trustee with a written report of environmental inspection.
In the event the environmental inspection report indicates
that the Mortgaged Property is contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or
wastes, the Servicer shall not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed
in lieu of foreclosure if the estimated costs of the environmental clean up, as
estimated in the environmental inspection report, together with the Servicing
Advances made by the Servicer and the estimated costs of foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure exceeds the estimated value of the
Mortgaged Property. If however, the aggregate of such clean up and foreclosure
costs and Servicing Advances are less than or equal to the estimated value of
the Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer may, in its reasonable judgment and in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, choose to proceed with foreclosure
or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and the Servicer shall be
reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental clean
up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the
Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse the Servicer, the
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the related
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof. In the event the Servicer
does not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure
pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph, the Servicer shall be
reimbursed for all Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged
Property from the related Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof,
and the Servicer shall have no further obligation to service such Mortgage Loan
under the provisions of this Agreement.
(b) With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate
of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The
Trustee's name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the
Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall ensure
that the title to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee's
capacity hereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the
Servicer shall in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices manage, conserve,
protect and operate each REO Property for the purpose of its prompt disposition
and sale. The Servicer, either itself or through an agent selected by the
Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO Property in the
same manner that it manages, conserves,
90
protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the
same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is
managed. The Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee on or before each
Distribution Date a statement with respect to any REO Property covering the
operation of such REO Property for the previous calendar month and the
Servicer's efforts in connection with the sale of such REO Property and any
rental of such REO Property incidental to the sale thereof for the previous
calendar month. That statement shall be accompanied by such other information as
the Trustee shall reasonably request and which is necessary to enable the
Trustee to comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The
net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in
the related Collection Account no later than the close of business on each
Determination Date. The Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and withholding
required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to foreclosures and
abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of the Code with
respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and any tax
reporting required by Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the cancellation
of indebtedness by certain financial entities, by preparing such tax and
information returns as may be required, in the form required, and delivering the
same to the Trustee for filing.
To the extent consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices,
the Servicer shall also maintain on each REO Property fire and hazard insurance
with extended coverage in amount which is equal to the outstanding principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan (as reduced by any amount applied as a
reduction of principal at the time of acquisition of the REO Property),
liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in the amount
required above.
(c) In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged
Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent
default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged
Property prior to three years after the end of the calendar year of its
acquisition by the Trust Fund unless (i) the Trustee shall have been supplied
with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of
such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such three-year period will not result in
the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC hereunder as
defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which
case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject to any
conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel) or (ii) the applicable Servicer
shall have applied for, prior to the expiration of such three- year period, an
extension of such three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section
856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended by
the applicable extension period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or
allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income
by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that
would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure
property" within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject
any REMIC hereunder to the imposition of any federal, state or local income
taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of
the Code or otherwise, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold
harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
91
In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of
whose obligor is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, "FORECLOSURE") in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto) necessary
to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with respect to the proceeds
of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of such
foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligors on the Mortgage Loan.
(d) The decision of the Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted
Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the
proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing
such a proceeding. The income earned from the management of any REO Properties,
net of reimbursement to the Servicer for expenses incurred (including any
property or other taxes) in connection with such management and net of
applicable accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees, and unreimbursed Advances and
Servicing Advances, shall be applied to the payment of principal of and interest
on the related defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such
Mortgage Loans were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all
purposes in this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest
on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the related Collection
Account. To the extent the net income received during any calendar month is in
excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest
at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan for such calendar
month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial prepayment of principal
of the related Mortgage Loan.
Neither the Servicer nor Vesta shall acquire any Mortgaged
Property on behalf of any REMIC created hereunder in connection with a default
or imminent default on a Foreclosure Restricted Loan, if acquiring title to the
Mortgaged Property underlying the loan would cause the adjusted basis, for
federal income tax purposes, of these Mortgaged Properties owned by the related
REMIC after foreclosure, along with any other assets owned by the related REMIC
other than "qualified mortgages" and "permitted investments" within the meaning
of Section 860G of the Code, to exceed 0.75% of the adjusted basis of the assets
of the related REMIC. If the adjusted basis of such Mortgaged Properties in
foreclosure, along with any other assets owned by the related REMIC, other than
"qualified mortgages" and "permitted investments" with the meaning of Section
860G of the Code, exceed 1.0% of the adjusted basis of the assets of the related
REMIC immediately after the distribution of principal and interest on any
Distribution Date, the Servicer or Vesta will dispose of enough of such
Mortgaged Properties in foreclosure, for cash or otherwise, so that the adjusted
basis of such Mortgaged Properties in foreclosure, along with any other assets
owned by the related REMIC, other than "qualified mortgages" and "permitted
investments" within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code, will be less than
1.0% of the adjusted basis of the assets of the related REMIC. The Servicer or
Vesta will provide notice to the other of any Foreclosure Restricted Loan in
order for the Servicer and Vesta to make the determinations set forth in this
clause (d). In furtherance of the foregoing, the Servicer shall transfer such
Foreclosure Restricted Loans to Vesta in accordance with Section 3.04.
(e) The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as
well as any income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order
of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse
92
the Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the related
Collection Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that
were previously withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.08(iii) that
related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued and unpaid interest (to the
extent no Advance has been made for such amount or any such Advance has been
reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the per annum rate
equal to the related Mortgage Rate reduced by the related Servicing Fee Rate, to
the Due Date occurring in the month in which such amounts are required to be
distributed; and fifth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess
Proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be
retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to
Section 3.14.
(f) Vesta shall, at its option, enter into a special servicing
agreement with an unaffiliated Holder of the Class II-X Certificate, subject to
each Rating Agency's acknowledgment that the Ratings of the Certificates in
effect immediately prior to the entering into of such agreement would not be
qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the Certificates would not be placed on
credit review status (except for possible upgrading) as a result of such
agreement. Any such agreement may contain provisions whereby such Holder may (i)
instruct Vesta to commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with respect to
delinquent Group II Mortgage Loans serviced by it and will contain provisions
for the deposit of cash with Vesta by the holder that would be available for
distribution to Certificateholders if Liquidation Proceeds are less than they
otherwise may have been had Vesta acted in accordance with its normal
procedures, (ii) purchase delinquent Group II Mortgage Loans serviced by Vesta
from the Trust Fund immediately prior to the commencement of foreclosure
proceedings at a price equal to the aggregate outstanding Principal Balance of
such Mortgage Loans plus accrued interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage
Rate through the last day of the month in which such Mortgage Loan is purchased,
and/or (iii) assume all of the servicing rights and obligations with respect to
delinquent Group II Mortgage Loans serviced by Vesta so long as such Holder (A)
meets the requirements for a Subservicer set forth in Section 3.02(a), and (B)
will service such Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement.
(g) Vesta, at its option, may (but is not obligated to)
repurchase from the Trust Fund, (a) any related Mortgage Loan that is delinquent
in payment by three or more Scheduled Payments or (b) any related Mortgage Loan
with respect to which there has been initiated legal action or other proceedings
for the foreclosure of the related Mortgaged Property either judicially or
non-judicially. If it elects to make any such repurchase, Vesta shall repurchase
such Mortgage Loan with its own funds at a price equal to the Repurchase Price
for such Mortgage Loan.
SECTION 3.12. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt
by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the
Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) by delivering, or causing to be
delivered a "Request for Release" substantially in the form of Exhibit N. Upon
receipt of such request, the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be)
shall within three Business Days release the related Mortgage File to the
Servicer, and the Trustee shall within three Business Days of the Servicer's
direction execute and deliver to the Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed
of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument
releasing the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by the Servicer,
together with the Mortgage Note with written
93
evidence of cancellation thereon. The Servicer is authorized to cause the
removal from the registration on the MERS(R) System of such Mortgage, if
applicable, and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation or of partial or full release. The Servicer is authorized to cause
the removal from the registration on the MERS System of such Mortgage and to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any
of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial
or full release. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of
satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related
Mortgagor to the extent permitted by law and otherwise shall constitute a
Servicing Advance. From time to time and as shall be appropriate for the
servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose,
collection under any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or
omissions policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial release of any
Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of any
corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other documents
included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee shall, within three Business Days of
delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) of a Request for
Release in the form of Exhibit N signed by a Servicing Officer, release the
Mortgage File to the Servicer. Subject to the further limitations set forth
below, the Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File or documents so released to be
returned to the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) when the need
therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is
liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the related Collection
Account, in which case the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee (or the
Custodian, as the case may be) a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit N,
signed by a Servicing Officer.
If the Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure
proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement,
the Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for
signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or
other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action
brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at
law or in equity.
SECTION 3.13. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the
Servicer to be Held for the Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the
Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee as required by this Agreement all
documents and instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the
possession of the Servicer from time to time required to be delivered to the
Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof and shall account fully to the Trustee for
any funds received by the Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the
Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any
Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the
control of, the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the
collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds,
including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in a Collection Account,
shall be held by the Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and
remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable
provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer also agrees that it shall not create,
incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the
related Collection Account, Certificate Account
94
or any related Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due
or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any
claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other
encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff
against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a
Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Servicer shall be entitled to set off
against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and
payable to the Servicer under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.14. Servicing Fee.
As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall
be entitled to withdraw from the Collection Account or to retain from interest
payments on the related Mortgage Loans the amount of its Servicing Fee for each
Mortgage Loan, less any amounts in respect of its Servicing Fee payable by the
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(vi). The Servicing Fee is limited to, and
payable solely from, the interest portion of such Scheduled Payments collected
by the Servicer or as otherwise provided in Section 3.08.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of Ancillary
Income shall be retained by the Servicer. The Servicer shall be required to pay
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder (including the payment of any expenses incurred in connection with any
Subservicing Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.02) and shall not be
entitled to reimbursement thereof except as specifically provided for in this
Agreement.
SECTION 3.15. Access to Certain Documentation.
The Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to
comparable regulatory authorities supervising Holders of Subordinate
Certificates and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and
such other authorities, access to the documentation regarding the related
Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such
access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior
written request and during normal business hours at the offices designated by
the Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Servicer
to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding
the Mortgagors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in
this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of
this Section. Nothing in this Section 3.15 shall require the Servicer to
collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does not
generate in its usual course of business.
SECTION 3.16. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor, the Certificate
Insurer, the Rating Agencies and the Trustee on or before 120 days after the end
of the Servicer's fiscal year, commencing after its 2001 fiscal year, an
Officer's Certificate stating, as to the signer thereof, that (i) a review of
the activities of the Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of the
performance of the Servicer under this Agreement has been made under such
officer's supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based
on such review, the Servicer has materially fulfilled all its obligations under
this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a material
95
default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default
known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and the action being
taken by the Servicer to cure such default.
SECTION 3.17. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Statement; Financial Statements.
On or before 120 days after the end of the Servicer's fiscal
year, commencing after its 2001 fiscal year, the Servicer at its expense shall
cause a nationally or regionally recognized firm of independent public
accountants (who may also render other services to the Servicer, the Seller or
any affiliate thereof) which is a member of the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee, the Certificate
Insurer and the Depositor to the effect that such firm has examined certain
documents and records relating to the servicing of mortgage loans which the
Servicer is servicing, including the related Mortgage Loans, and that, on the
basis of such examination, conducted substantially in compliance with the
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Guide for
HUD Approved Title II Approved Mortgagees and Loan Correspondent Programs,
nothing has come to their attention which would indicate that such servicing has
not been conducted in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, except for
(a) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial, and (b) such
other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. In rendering such
statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating to direct servicing of
mortgage loans by Subservicers, upon comparable statements for examinations
conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Guide for HUD Approved Title II
Approved Mortgagees and Loan Correspondent Programs (rendered within one year of
such statement) of independent public accountants with respect to the related
Subservicer. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder upon request at the Servicer's expense, provided such
statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.18. Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions
Insurance.
The Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, at its
own expense, a blanket Fidelity Bond and an Errors and Omissions Insurance
Policy, with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting
in any capacity requiring such persons to handle funds, money, documents or
papers relating to the related Mortgage Loans ("SERVICER EMPLOYEES"). Any such
Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy shall be in the form of
the Financial Institution Bond Form 22 - Fidelity Bond American International
Specialty Lines Insurance Policy Form ("5713 5/93") Mortgage Banker Broker E&O
and shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses, including forgery,
theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of the
Servicer Employees. Such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy
also shall protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with the
release or satisfaction of a related Mortgage Loan without having obtained
payment in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this
Section 3.18 requiring such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance
Policy shall diminish or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as
set forth in this Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and
insurance policy shall be at least equal to the corresponding amounts required
by FNMA. Upon the request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be
delivered to the Trustee a certificate of insurance of the insurer and the
surety including
96
a statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond and
insurance policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without
30 days' prior written notice to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.19. Duties of the Loss Mitigation Advisor.
The Certificateholders, by their purchase and acceptance of
the Certificates, appoint The Murrayhill Company as Loss Mitigation Advisor. For
and on behalf of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer, the
Loss Mitigation Advisor will provide reports and recommendations concerning
Mortgage Loans that are past due, as to which there has been commencement of
foreclosure, as to which there has been forbearance in exercise of remedies
which are in default, as to which obligor is the subject of bankruptcy,
receivership, or an arrangement of creditors, or as to which have become REO
Properties. Such reports and recommendations will be based upon information
provided to the Loss Mitigation Advisor pursuant to the Loss Mitigation Advisory
Agreement and the Loss Mitigation Advisor shall look solely to the Servicer for
all information and data (including loss and delinquency information and data)
and loan level information and data relating to the servicing of the Mortgage
Loans. Upon receipt of notice from the Pool Insurer with respect to any claim
rejected by the Pool Insurer (the "Claims Report") under the Pool Insurance
Policy, the Loss Mitigation Advisor shall review any such rejected claim and
shall determine, based on the information provided by the Pool Insurer, whether
the claim was rejected due to the Servicer's failure to comply with the terms of
the related policy or the claims-filing procedures of the Pool Insurer. The Loss
Mitigation Advisor shall promptly notify the Depositor, the Seller, the
Servicer, the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee and each Rating Agency with
written information regarding such determination and the basis of such
determination along with the related Claims Report. If the Loss Mitigation
Advisor is no longer able to perform its duties hereunder, the Depositor shall
terminate the Loss Mitigation Advisor and cause the appointment of a successor
Loss Mitigation Advisor. Upon any termination of the Loss Mitigation Advisor or
the appointment of a successor Loss Mitigation Advisor, the Depositor shall give
written notice thereof to the Seller, the Servicer, the Certificate Insurer, the
Trustee and each Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination
of the Loss Mitigation Advisor pursuant to this Section 3.19 shall not become
effective until the appointment of a successor Loss Mitigation Advisor.
SECTION 3.20. Limitation Upon Liability of the Loss Mitigation Advisor.
Neither the Loss Mitigation Advisor, nor any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Loss Mitigation Advisor, shall be under any
liability to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, the Certificateholders or the
Depositor for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action
in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, in reliance upon information provided
by Servicer under the Loss Mitigation Advisory Agreements or of errors in
judgment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this provision shall not protect the Loss
Mitigation Advisor or any such person against liability that would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful malfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in its
performance of its duties under this Agreement or the Loss Mitigation Advisor
Agreements. The Loss Mitigation Advisor and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Loss Mitigation Advisor may rely in good faith on any document of
any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting
any matters arising hereunder, and may rely in good faith upon the accuracy of
information furnished by the Servicer pursuant to the Loss Mitigation Advisory
Agreements in the performance of its duties thereunder and hereunder.
97
SECTION 3.21. Maintenance of Pool Insurance Policy.
The Servicer shall exercise its best efforts to maintain and
keep the Pool Insurance Policy in full force and effect throughout the term of
this Agreement, unless coverage thereunder has been exhausted through payment of
claims. The Trustee shall pay on a timely basis the Pool Insurer Fee from
amounts on deposit by the Trustee in the Certificate Account in accordance with
the terms of the Pool Insurance Policy.
At any time, the Servicer may substitute a surety bond, letter
of credit, another mortgage guaranty pool insurance policy or other credit
enhancement for the Pool Insurance Policy or any substitute therefor to the
extent permitted by the Certificate Insurer, Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc. and
each Rating Agency without a downgrading of the then current rating of the
Certificates, which shall be confirmed in writing to the Servicer, the Trustee
and the Certificate Insurer by each Rating Agency and such confirmation shall be
determined without regard to the Certificate Insurance Policy.
In the event that the Pool Insurance Policy is canceled or
terminated for any reason other than exhaustion of the coverage thereunder or
the claims-paying ability of the Pool Insurer is reduced below investment grade
by either Rating Agency, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to obtain a
replacement Pool Insurance Policy from a Qualified Insurer that is acceptable to
each Rating Agency and the Certificate Insurer. Any such replacement policy will
provide for an amount of coverage equal to the then remaining coverage amount of
the Pool Insurance Policy, provided, however, that if the premium cost of the
replacement policy exceeds the premium cost of the Pool Insurance Policy, the
coverage amount of the replacement policy shall be reduced so that the premium
cost therefore will not exceed 100% of the premium cost of the Pool Insurance
Policy.
In connection with its activities as administrator and
servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to file, on behalf of
itself, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders and the Certificate
Insurer claims to the Pool Insurer in a timely fashion in accordance with the
terms of the Pool Insurance Policy and, in this regard, to take such action as
shall be necessary to permit recovery under the Pool Insurance Policy respecting
a related defaulted Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no claim shall
be filed under the Pool Insurance Policy before the related Mortgage Loan
becomes six months in Default (as defined under the Pool Insurance Policy).
Pursuant to Section 3.09, any amounts collected by the Servicer under the Pool
Insurance Policy (other than any amount to be applied to the restoration or
repair of the property encumbered by the related Mortgage Loan with respect to
which such amount was collected) shall be deposited in the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.05. The Servicer shall comply will all applicable terms of
the Pool Insurance Policy and the claims-filing procedures of the Pool Insurer,
to the extent necessary to avoid any adjustments to claims paid under the Pool
Insurance Policy.
SECTION 3.22. Maintenance of Special Hazard Insurance Policy.
The Servicer agrees to exercise commercially reasonable
efforts to maintain and keep the Special Hazard Insurance Policy in full force
and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, unless coverage thereunder has
been exhausted through the payment of claims; provided, however, that in no case
shall the Servicer be required to (i) expend its own funds to maintain such
policy or
98
(ii) make a Nonrecoverable Advance. In the event that (i) the claims paying
ability rating of the Special Hazard Insurer is reduced to such a level that the
ratings are reduced below the level of the ratings originally given, (ii) the
Special Hazard Insurer ceases to be a property and casualty insurer duly
qualified as such under applicable laws or (iii) the Special Hazard Insurance
Policy is cancelled for any reason other than the exhaustion of coverage
thereunder, the Servicer acting on behalf of the Trustee shall exercise
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from another insurer acceptable to the
Rating Agencies and the Certificate Insurer a replacement policy comparable to
the initial Special Hazard Insurance Policy; provided, however, that if the cost
of any such replacement policy shall be greater than the cost of the initial
Special Hazard Insurance Policy, the amount of coverage of such replacement
policy shall be reduced to a level such that the premium rate therefor shall not
exceed 100% of the premium rate on the initial Special Hazard Insurance Policy.
The Trustee shall pay on a timely basis the Special Hazard
Insurer Fee from amounts on deposit by the Trustee in the Certificate Account in
accordance with the terms of the Special Hazard Insurance Policy.
In connection with its activities hereunder, the Servicer
agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, claims to the Special Hazard
Insurer in a timely fashion and in accordance with the terms of the Special
Hazard Insurance Policy, and, in this regard, to take such commercially
reasonable action (other than the making of Nonrecoverable Advances) as shall be
necessary to permit recovery under the Special Hazard Insurance Policy. The
Servicer shall collect all amounts relating to the Certificates under the
Special Hazard Insurance Policy and shall deposit such amounts in the related
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05. The Servicer shall comply with all
applicable terms of the Special Hazard Insurance Policy and the claims-filing
procedures of the Special Hazard Insurer, to the extent necessary to avoid any
adjustments to claims paid under the Special Hazard Insurance Policy.

ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTIONS AND
ADVANCES BY THE SERVICER
SECTION 4.01. Advances by the Servicer.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount
equal to (i) with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than the Simple Interest
Mortgage Loans, all Scheduled Payments (with interest at the Mortgage Rate less
the Servicing Fee Rate) which were due on the related Mortgage Loans during the
applicable Due Period and (ii) with respect to the Simple Interest Mortgage
Loans, 30 day's interest on each such Mortgage Loan, less the Servicing Fee;
provided however, that with respect to any Balloon Loan that is delinquent on
its maturity date, the Servicer will not be required to advance the related
balloon payment but will be required to continue to make Advances in accordance
with this Section 4.01 with respect to such Balloon Loan in an amount equal to
an assumed scheduled payment that would otherwise be due based on the original
amortization schedule for that Mortgage Loan (with interest at the Mortgage Rate
less the Servicing Fee Rate). The Servicer's obligation to make such Advances as
to any related Mortgage Loan will continue through the last Scheduled Payment
due prior to the payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, or through the date that
the related Mortgaged Property has, in the judgment of the Servicer, been
completely liquidated.
The Servicer shall be obligated to make Advances in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement; provided however, that such obligation
with respect to any related Mortgage Loan shall cease if the Servicer
determines, in its reasonable opinion, that Advances with respect to such
Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances. In the event that the Servicer
determines that any such Advances are Nonrecoverable Advances, the Servicer
shall provide the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer with a certificate signed
by a Servicing Officer evidencing such determination.
If an Advance is required to be made hereunder, the Servicer
shall on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date
immediately following the related Determination Date either (i) deposit in the
Collection Account from its own funds an amount equal to such Advance, (ii)
cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account
that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have
been, as permitted by this Section 4.01, used by the Servicer to make such
Advance or (iii) make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and
(ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any such funds being held in a
Collection Account for future distribution and so used shall be replaced by the
Servicer from its own funds by deposit in such Collection Account on or before
any future Distribution Date in which such funds would be due.

SECTION 4.05. Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) On or prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall

Class designations (beginning with the Class of Subordinate
Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class
designation), until the respective Class Principal Balance of each such
Class is reduced to zero, and
(ii) SECOND, to the Class I-A Certificates, pro rata, on the

Principal Balance of all Certificates of a Certificate Group exceeds the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loans (in each case,
after giving effect to distributions of principal and the allocation of all
losses to the related Certificates on such Distribution Date), such excess will
be deemed a principal loss and will be allocated to the most junior Class of
related Subordinate Certificates, pro rata, as applicable, then outstanding.
(g) Any Realized Loss allocated to a Class of Certificates or
any reduction in the Class Principal Balance of a Class of Certificates pursuant
to this Section 4.05 shall be allocated by the Trustee among the Certificates of
such Class in proportion to their respective Certificate Balances.

Certificate or any reduction in the Certificate Balance of a Certificate
pursuant to this Section 4.05 shall be accomplished by reducing the Certificate
Balance thereof, immediately following the distributions made on the related
Distribution Date, in accordance with the definition of "Certificate Balance."
SECTION 4.06. Monthly Statements to Certificateholders.
(a) Not later than each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall
prepare and make available on the website maintained by the Trustee at

SECTION 4.07. Certificate Insurer; Policy Matters.
(a) If, on the second Business Day before any Distribution
Date, the Trustee determines that the funds that will be available for such
Distribution Date distributable to the Holders of the Insured Certificates
pursuant to Section 4.02 will be insufficient to pay the Insured Payment on such
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall determine the amount of any such deficiency
and shall give notice to Certificate Insurer, by telephone or telecopy of the
amount of such deficiency, confirmed in writing by notice substantially in the
form of Exhibit A to the applicable Certificate Insurance Policy by 12:00 noon,
New York City time, on such second Business Day. The Trustee's responsibility
for delivering the notice to Certificate Insurer, as provided in the preceding

information provided by the Servicer.
109
(b) In the event the Trustee receives a certified copy of an
order of the appropriate court that any payment of principal or interest on an
Insured Certificate has been voided in whole or in part as a preference payment
under applicable bankruptcy law, the Trustee shall (i) promptly notify
Certificate Insurer and (ii) comply with the provisions of the related
Certificate Insurance Policy to obtain payment by Certificate Insurer of such
voided payment. In addition, the Trustee shall mail notice to all Holders of the
Insured Certificates so affected that, in the event that any such Holder's
scheduled payment is so recovered, such Holder will be entitled to payment
pursuant to the terms of the Certificate Insurance Policy a copy of which shall
be made available to such Holders by the Trustee. The Trustee shall furnish to
Certificate Insurer, its records listing the payments on the affected Insured
Certificates, if any, that have been made by the Trustee and subsequently
recovered from the affected Holders, and the dates on which such payments were
made by the Trustee.
(c) At the time of the execution hereof, and for the purposes
hereof, the Trustee shall establish a separate special purpose trust account in
the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Class I-A-1
Certificates (the "Certificate Insurance Account") over which the Trustee shall
have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal. The Certificate Insurance
Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Trustee shall deposit any amount paid
under the Certificate Insurance Policy into the Certificate Insurance Account
and distribute such amount only for the purposes of making the payments to
Holders of the related Insured Certificates in respect of the Insured Payment
for which the related claim was made under such Certificate Insurance Policy.
Such amounts shall be allocated by the Trustee to Holders of Insured
Certificates affected by such shortfalls in the same manner as principal and
interest payments are to be allocated with respect to such Certificates pursuant
to Section 4.02. It shall not be necessary for such payments to be made by
checks or wire transfers separate from the checks or wire transfers used to make
regular payments hereunder with funds withdrawn from the Certificate Account.
However, any payments made on the Insured Certificates from funds in the
Certificate Insurance Account shall be noted as provided in subsection (e)
below. Funds held in the Certificate Insurance Account shall not be invested by
the Trustee.
(d) Any funds received from Certificate Insurer for deposit
into the Certificate Insurance Account pursuant to the Certificate Insurance
Policy in respect of a Distribution Date or otherwise as a result of any claim
under the Certificate Insurance Policy shall be applied by the Trustee directly
to the payment in full of the Insured Payment due on such Distribution Date on
the related Insured Certificates. Funds received by the Trustee as a result of
any claim under the Certificate Insurance Policy shall be used solely for
payment to the Holders of the Insured Certificates and may not be applied for
any other purpose, including, without limitation, satisfaction of any costs,
expenses or liabilities of the Trustee, the Servicer or the Trust Fund. Any
funds (other than funds deposited therein in respect of a Preference Amount
payable under the related Certificate Insurance Policy) remaining in the related
Certificate Insurance Account on the first Business Day after each Distribution
Date shall be remitted promptly to Certificate Insurer pursuant to the written
instruction of Certificate Insurer.
(e) The Trustee shall keep complete and accurate records in
respect of (i) all funds remitted to it by Certificate Insurer and deposited
into the related Certificate Insurance Account and (ii) the allocation of such
funds to payments of interest on and principal in respect of the related
110
Insured Certificates. Certificate Insurer shall have the right to inspect such
records at reasonable times during normal business hours upon three Business
Days' prior notice to the Trustee.
(f) The Trustee acknowledges, and each Holder of an Insured
Certificate by its acceptance of the Insured Certificate agrees, that, without
the need for any further action on the part of Certificate Insurer or the
Trustee, to the extent Certificate Insurer makes payments, directly or
indirectly, on account of principal of or interest on any Insured Certificates,
Certificate Insurer will be fully subrogated to the rights of the Holders of
such Insured Certificates to receive such principal and interest from the Trust
Fund. The Holders of the Insured Certificates, by acceptance of the Insured
Certificates, assign their rights as Holders of the Insured Certificates to the
extent of Certificate Insurer's interest with respect to amounts paid under the
related Certificate Insurance Policy. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, solely for purposes of determining Certificate Insurer's
rights, as applicable, as subrogee for payments distributable pursuant to
Section 4.02, any payment with respect to distributions to the Insured
Certificates which is made with funds received pursuant to the terms of the
related Certificate Insurance Policy shall not be considered payment of the
Insured Certificates from the Trust Fund and shall not result in the
distribution or the provision for the distribution in reduction of the Class
Principal Balance of the Insured Certificates except to the extent such payment
has been reimbursed to Certificate Insurer pursuant to the terms hereof.
(g) Upon a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becoming aware
of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall promptly notify
Certificate Insurer of such Event of Default.
(h) The Trustee shall promptly notify Certificate Insurer of
either of the following as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge: (A) the commencement of any proceeding by or against the
Depositor commenced under the United States bankruptcy code or any other
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation or similar law
(an "Insolvency Proceeding") and (B) the making of any claim in connection with
any Insolvency Proceeding seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer (a
"Preference Claim") of any distribution made with respect to the Insured
Certificates as to which it has actual knowledge. Each Holder of an Insured
Certificate, by its purchase of Insured Certificates, and the Trustee hereby
agrees that the Certificate Insurer (so long as no Certificate Insurer Default
exists) may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding relating to a
Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference Claim,
including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any order
relating to any Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety, supersedeas
or performance bond pending any such appeal. In addition and without limitation
of the foregoing, the Certificate Insurer shall be subrogated to the rights of
the Trustee and each Holder of an Insured Certificate in the conduct of any
Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to an
adversary proceeding action with respect to any court order issued in connection
with any such Preference Claim.
(i) The Servicer shall designate a Certificate Insurer Contact
Person who shall be available to Certificate Insurer to provide reasonable
access to information regarding the Mortgage Loans. The initial Certificate
Insurer Contact Persons are the Servicing Officers.
111
(j) The Trustee shall surrender the related Certificate
Insurance Policy to the Certificate Insurer for cancellation upon the reduction
of the Class Principal Balance of the applicable Insured Certificates to zero.
(k) The Trustee shall send to Certificate Insurer the reports
prepared pursuant to Sections 3.16 and 3.17 and the statements prepared pursuant
to Section 4.06, as well as any other statements or communications sent to
Holders of the Insured Certificates, in each case at the same time such reports,
statements and communications are otherwise sent.
(l) For so long as there is no continuing default by
Certificate Insurer under its obligations under the Certificate Insurance Policy
(a "Certificate Insurer Default"), each Holder of any Insured Certificate agrees
that Certificate Insurer shall be treated by the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Trustee as if Certificate Insurer were the Holder of all of the Insured
Certificates for the purpose (and solely for the purpose) of the giving of any
consent, the making of any direction or the exercise of any voting or other
control rights otherwise given to the Holders of the Insured Certificates
hereunder without any further consent of any Holders of the Insured
Certificates.
(m) All notices, statements, reports, certificates or opinions
required by this Agreement to be sent to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies or the
Holders of the Insured Certificates shall also be sent at such time to
Certificate Insurer at Ambac Assurance Corporation, Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx

(n) The Certificate Insurer shall be an express third party
beneficiary of this Agreement for the purpose of enforcing the provisions hereof
to the extent of the Certificate Insurer's rights explicitly specified herein as
if a party hereto.
(o) All references herein to the ratings assigned to the
Certificates and to the interests of any Certificateholders shall be without
regard to the Certificate Insurance Policy.
(p) The Trustee and the Servicer shall cooperate with any
reasonable request by Certificate Insurer to preserve or enforce the rights
granted to Certificate Insurer hereunder or under the Insurance Agreement.
(q) Any amendment to this Agreement shall require the prior

required to be distributed to holders of the Class II-A-1, Class II-M-1, Class
II-M-2 and Class II-B Certificates pursuant to Sections 4.02(b)(v) E. through H.
to the extent Monthly Excess Cashflow on such date is insufficient to make such

the Class II-X Certificateholder pursuant to Section 4.02(b)(v)J.

Reserve Fund from time to time shall continue to constitute assets of the Trust
Fund, but not of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3, until released from the Basis Risk
Reserve Fund pursuant to this Section 4.10. The Basis Risk Reserve Fund
constitutes an "outside reserve fund" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
ss.1.860G-2(h) and is not an asset of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3. For all
federal tax purposes, amounts transferred by the REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to
the Reserve Fund shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or
REMIC 3 to the Class II-X Certificateholders. The Class II-X Certificate shall
evidence ownership of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund for federal tax purposes and
the Holders thereof shall direct the Trustee in writing as to the investment of
amounts therein. In the absence of such written direction, all funds in the
Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall be invested by the Trustee in the Chase Vista
Prime Money Market Fund. The Trustee shall have no liability for losses on
investments in Eligible Investments made pursuant to this Section 4.10(c) (other
than as obligor on any such investments). Upon termination of the Trust Fund,
any amounts remaining in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund shall be distributed to the
Holder of the Class II-X Certificate in the same manner as if distributed
pursuant to Section 4.02(b)(v)J. hereof.
(d) On the Distribution Date immediately after the
Distribution Date on which the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the Class
II-A-1, Class II-M-1, Class II-M-2 and Class II-B Certificates equals zero, any
amounts on deposit in the Basis Risk Reserve Fund not payable on the Class
II-A-1, Class II-M-1, Class II-M-2 or Class II-B Certificates shall be
distributed to the Holder of the Class II-X Certificate in the same manner as if
distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(b)(v)J. hereof.

For any Mortgage Loan in which a Prepayment Penalty is due, the Trustee
will verify no later than 5 Business Days after each Distribution Date that the
Servicer remitted an amount with respect to such Prepayment Penalty. The Trustee
is not responsible for verifying whether the amount of such Prepayment Penalty
is correct. The Trustee shall provide a report (the "Prepayment Penalty Report")
to the Servicer listing any Mortgage Loans for which a Prepayment Penalty was
due but not received by the Trustee no later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the related Distribution Date. If the Servicer fails to remit a
Prepayment Penalty to the Trustee, and the Trustee notified the Servicer that
such Prepayment Penalty was due but not received and the Servicer fails to remit
such Prepayment Penalty or to provide the Trustee with an Officer's Certificate
providing a written explanation of the Servicer's determination not to pursue
the collection of such Prepayment Penalty within four Business Days of the date
of the Prepayment Penalty Report, the Trustee will promptly provide notice in
writing of such failure to the Depositor. The Trustee shall have no further
responsibilities with respect to such Prepayment Penalties.

(B) 100% of the Class Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates or (C)
Certificates of any Class with aggregate principal Denominations of not less
than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such
Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Certificate
Register. Payments to the Certificate Insurer shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately accessible funds.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile
signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer upon the written
order of the Depositor. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures
of individuals who were, at the time such signatures were affixed, authorized to
sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the
countersignature and delivery of any such Certificates or did not hold such
offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any
benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless countersigned
by the Trustee by manual signature, and such countersignature upon any
Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates
shall be dated the date of their countersignature. On the Closing Date, the
Trustee shall countersign the Certificates to be issued at the written direction
of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.
The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the
Trustee on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to
facilitate transfers.
The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor,
determine or inquire as to compliance with any restriction or transfer imposed
under Article V of this Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any
transfer of any Certificate, or any interest therein, other than to require
delivery of the certification(s) and/or opinions of counsel described in Article
V applicable with respect to changes in registration of record ownership of
Certificates in the Certificate Register. The Trustee shall have no liability
for transfers, including transfers made through the book-entry
119
facilities of the Depository or between or among Depository Participants or
beneficial owners of the Certificates made in violation of applicable
restrictions.
SECTION 5.02. Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and
Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06, a Certificate Register for the
Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below
and 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. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever
any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in 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 registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but 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 may be required.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be canceled and subsequently disposed of by the Trustee in
accordance with the Trustee's customary procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless
such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. Except
in connection with any transfer of a Private Certificate by the Depositor to any
affiliate, in the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an
exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance
with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect
such transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall each
certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit K (the "TRANSFEROR CERTIFICATE") and
(i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit L (the
"INVESTMENT LETTER") or Exhibit M (the "RULE 144A LETTER") or (ii) there shall
be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of
Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the
Securities Act. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private
Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder,
information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such
other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility
set forth
120
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. The Trustee and the Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in
providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence,
including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the
Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as
the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the
preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor,
the Seller and the Servicer against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made
unless the Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation from the
transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee (in the event such Certificate is a Private
Certificate or a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the
Trustee's receipt of a representation letter from the transferee substantially
in the form of Exhibit L or Exhibit M), to the effect that such transferee is
not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a
plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any
such plan or arrangement nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to
effect such transfer, or (ii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted
Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan
subject to ERISA, or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code
(or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any
such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement
or using such plan's or arrangement's assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory
to the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of either the
Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that the
purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in the
assets of the Trust Fund being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the
Trustee or the Servicer to any obligation in addition to those expressly
undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Private
Certificate or a Residual Certificate, in the event the representation letter
referred to in the preceding sentence is not furnished, such representation
shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee's (including
an initial acquiror's) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of
an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan
subject to ERISA or to the Code without the delivery to the Trustee of an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void
and of no effect.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but
not limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person
for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in
fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on
such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect
to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer
was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of
such Ownership Interest to have
121
agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each Person
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject
to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its
status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be
registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the
Trustee shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate
unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the
Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been
furnished with an affidavit (a "TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT") of the initial
owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
J.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer
Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to
Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to
obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is
acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer of
a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual
knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of
this Section 5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest
no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee
shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the
provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted
Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual
Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for
any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact
not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making
any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking
any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of
this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of
the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and either the
Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The Trustee shall be
entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual
Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it
became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a
Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at
and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the
Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last
preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make
available, upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, all
information necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e)
of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.
122
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set
forth in this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions
of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to
Transfers occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee,
the Seller or the Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such
restrictions will not cause the Trust Fund hereunder to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the
imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person.
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on
an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to
ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual
Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not
a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of
a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and
opinions referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer
shall be at the expense of the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates
shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its
nominee and at all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be
transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository
shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and
with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii)
ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the
books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the
Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees,
charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall
deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating
firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry
Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this
Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representatives
shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully
protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect
to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with
respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such
indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates
shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures.
If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee
in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly
discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the
Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor at its
option advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry
system through the Depository or (z) after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the Certificate Balance
of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Trustee and the
123
Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation
of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests
of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners,
through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the "DEFINITIVE
CERTIFICATES") to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Trustee of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by
the instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue
the Definitive Certificates. None of the Sellers, the Servicer, the Depositor or
the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and
each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory
of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive
Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein
to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed
to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with
respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided
that the Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations
become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the
Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the
Trustee (and the Certificate Insurer with respect to the Insured Certificates)
such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold it harmless, then,
in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired
by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, countersign and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In
connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, 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
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally
issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found
at any time.
SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Servicer, the Trustee (and the Certificate Insurer with
respect to the Insured Certificates) and any agent of the Servicer (and the
Certificate Insurer with respect to the Insured Certificates) or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of
such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this
Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer (and
the Certificate Insurer with respect to the Insured Certificates), the Trustee
or any agent of the Servicer (and the Certificate Insurer with respect to the
Insured Certificates) or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
SECTION 5.05. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses.
124
If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such
information in writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders
desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights
under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the
communication which such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the
Depositor or the Servicer shall request such information in writing from the
Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of
such request, provide the Depositor, the Servicer or such Certificateholders at
such recipients' expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such
Trust Fund held by the Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every
Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the
Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such
information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of
the source from which such information was derived.
SECTION 5.06. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its
expense an office or offices or agency or agencies in Pennsylvania where the
Pool Insurance Policy shall be delivered. The Trustee initially designates its
Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The Trustee will give prompt written
notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such
office or agency.
125
ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR, THE SELLER AND THE SERVICER
SECTION 6.01. Respective Liabilities of the Depositor, the Sellers and
the Servicers.
The Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer shall each be
liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
and respectively imposed upon and undertaken by them herein.
SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor, the Seller or
the Servicer.
The Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer will each keep in
full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws
of the United States or under the laws of one of the states thereof and will
each obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign
corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be
necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any
of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller or the Servicer may be merged or
consolidated into another Person in accordance with the following paragraph.
Any Person into which the Depositor, the Seller or the
Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger
or consolidation to which the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer shall be a
party, or any person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Seller or
the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Seller or the
Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, provided, however, that the successor or
surviving Person with respect to a merger or consolidation of the Servicer shall
be an institution which is a FNMA or FHLMC approved company in good standing. In
addition to the foregoing, there must be delivered to the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer a letter from each of the Rating Agencies, determined
without regard to the Certificate Insurance Policy with respect to the Insured
Certificates, to the effect that such merger, conversion or consolidation of the
Servicer will not result in a disqualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the
then current rating of any of the Certificates.
SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Seller, the
Servicer and Others.
None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer nor any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller or the
Servicer shall be under any liability to the Certificateholders for any action
taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to
this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this
provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or any such
Person against any breach of representations or warranties made by it herein or
protect the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer or any such Person from any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful
126
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason
of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the
Seller, the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of
any kind PRIMA FACIE properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting
any matters arising hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer
shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action
that is not incidental to its respective duties hereunder and which in its
opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; PROVIDED, however, that any
of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any
such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement
and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and
the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of
such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and
liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Seller and the Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account.
SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of the Servicer.
The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except (a) upon appointment, pursuant to the provisions of
Section 7.02, of a successor servicer which (i) has a net worth of not less than
$15,000,000, (ii) is a FNMA or FHLMC approved company in good standing and
receipt by the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer of a letter from each Rating
Agency (determined without regard to the Certificate Insurance Policy with
respect to the Insured Certificates) that such a resignation and appointment
will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then
current rating of any of the Certificates and (iii) has the written approval of
the Certificate Insurer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and
of the Pool Insurer as contemplated under the Pool Insurance Policy to the
extent such successor servicer is the servicer of the Group I Mortgage Loans, or
(b) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law. Any such determination under clause (b) permitting the
resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer. No such resignation
shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have
assumed the Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations
hereunder and the requirements of Section 7.02 have been satisfied.
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
SECTION 7.01. Events of Default.
"Event of Default", wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events:
(i) any failure by the Servicer to make any deposit or payment
required pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to
Advances to the extent required under Section 4.01) which continues
unremedied for a period of five days after the date upon which written
notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the
Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders
127
of Certificates having not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced
by the Certificates; or
(ii) any failure by the Servicer duly to observe or perform in
any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the
part of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement, or if any of the
representations and warranties of the Servicer in Section 2.03(b)
proves to be untrue in any material respect, which failure or breach
continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which
written notice of such failure or breach, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or the
Depositor, or to the Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of
Certificates having not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by
the Certificates; or
(iii) failure by the Servicer to maintain, if required, its
license to do business in any jurisdiction where the related Mortgaged
Property is located; or
(iv) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
including bankruptcy, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar
proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall
have been entered against the Servicer and such decree or order shall
have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60
consecutive days; or
(v) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment
of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of
or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially
all of its property; or
(vi) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
advantage of or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization statute, make an assignment
for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its
obligations or cease its normal business operations for three Business
Days; or
(vii) for any Distribution Date, cumulative Realized Losses on
the Mortgage Loans equal or exceed 15% of the Aggregate Collateral
Balance as of the Cut-off Date.
Other than an Event of Default resulting from a failure of the
Servicer to make any Advance, if an Event of Default shall occur, then, and in
each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been
remedied, the Trustee may, or at the direction of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates,
the Trustee shall by notice in writing to the Servicer (with a copy to each
Rating Agency, the Certificate Insurer and the Pool Insurer), terminate all of
the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to
the related Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a
Certificateholder hereunder. If an Event of Default results from the failure of
the Servicer to make an Advance, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the
Servicer and the Depositor (with a copy to each Rating Agency, the Certificate
Insurer and the Pool Insurer), terminate all of the rights
128
and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the related
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a
Certificateholder hereunder.
Upon receipt by the Servicer of such written notice of
termination, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to
and be vested in the Trustee or its nominee. Upon written request from the
Trustee, the Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity
designated by the Trustee any and all documents and other instruments, place in
such successor's possession all related Mortgage Files, and do or cause to be
done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of
such notice of termination, including but not limited to the transfer and
endorsement or assignment of the related Mortgage Loans and related documents,
at the Servicer's sole expense. The Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee
and such successor in effecting the termination of the Servicer's
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including without limitation, the
transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts which
shall at the time be credited by the Servicer to the Collection Account or
Escrow Account or thereafter received with respect to the related Mortgage
Loans. The Trustee shall thereupon make any Advance. The Trustee is hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and
to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect
the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement or assignment of the related Mortgage Loans and related documents,
or otherwise.
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 of this Agreement or the resignation of the
Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the
extent provided herein and subject to the written approval of the Pool Insurer,
be the successor to the Servicer, but only in its capacity as servicer under
this Agreement, and not in any other, and the transactions set forth herein and
shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating
thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and applicable
law including the obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As
compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to
the related Mortgage Loans that the Servicer would have been entitled to charge
to the Collection Account, provided that the terminated Servicer shall
nonetheless be entitled to payment or reimbursement as provided in Section 3.08
to the extent that such payment or reimbursement relates to the period prior to
termination of the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has
become the successor to the Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01, the
Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited
by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to 4.01 hereof, or if it is
otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the
appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the
Certificates by each Rating Agency (such acknowledgment to be determined without
regard to the Certificate Insurance Policy), 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. Any successor to the Servicer shall be
an institution which is a FNMA or FHLMC approved seller/servicer for first and
second loans in good standing, which has a net worth of at least $15,000,000,
which is willing to service the related Mortgage Loans,
129
which is approved in writing by the Pool Insurer and which executes and delivers
to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and
assignment, containing an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers,
duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer (other
than liabilities of the Servicer under Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to
termination of the Servicer under Section 7.01 hereunder), with like effect as
if originally named as a party to this Agreement; PROVIDED that each Rating
Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately
prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified, withdrawn or
downgraded as a result of such assignment and delegation (without regard to the
Certificate Insurance Policy). Pending appointment of a successor to the
Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so
acting, shall, subject to the limitations described herein, act in such capacity
as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the
Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of
payments on the related Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Servicing
Fee. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the
Trustee nor any other successor servicer shall be deemed to be in default by
reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution
hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in
performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by
the failure of the Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or
providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.
In connection with the termination or resignation of any
Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor Servicer, including the Trustee if
the Trustee is acting as successor Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it
is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material
respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing
of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the
predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS
to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor
Servicer as necessary under MERS' rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor
Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to execute
and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the
Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices,
documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect a
transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R)
System to the successor Servicer. The predecessor Servicer shall file or cause
to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office. The
predecessor Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any
assignments of Mortgage, and fees and costs of filing any assignments of
Mortgage that may be required under this subsection.
Any successor to the Servicer shall give notice to the
Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service
as servicer, maintain in force the policy or policies that the Servicer is
required to maintain pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to
the Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders, Certificate Insurer and to each Rating Agency.
130
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of
Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of
each such Event of Default hereunder actually known to the Trustee, unless such
Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
SECTION 7.04. Termination by the Certificate Insurer.
(a) In addition to the other termination provisions herein,
the Certificate Insurer has the right to terminate all of the Servicer's rights
as servicer hereunder, upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to the
Servicer with a copy to the Trustee, the Pool Insurer and each Rating Agency, if
the Certificate Insurer reasonably determines, after consultation with the
Servicer, that the litigation described in Schedule I to the Insurance Agreement
or any other similar litigation to which the Servicer is a party, including any
final judgement or settlement resulting from such litigation, may, in the good
faith judgment of the Certificate Insurer, reasonably be expected to result in a
material adverse effect on the Servicer's ability to perform its obligations as
servicer under this Agreement. Any such termination will be subject to all
applicable requirements under this Agreement, except as modified in this Section
7.04. Any such termination shall not affect the Servicer's entitlement to
payment or reimbursement as provided in Section 3.08, including for servicing
compensation, to the extent that such payment or reimbursement arises relates to
the period prior to the termination if the Servicer.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination under this
Section 7.04 shall be effective until the completion of the purchase of the
rights to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement from the Servicer by a
successor servicer, as provided in subsections (d) and (e) below. Following the
date of giving of notice by the Certificate Insurer under subsection (a) above,
the Servicer shall have a period of up to 90 days during which to arrange for
the purchase of the servicing rights by a successor servicer. If the servicing
rights are not purchased during that period, then the Certificate Insurer shall
have an additional period of up to 90 days in which to arrange for the purchase
of the servicing rights from the Servicer by a successor servicer. If the
servicing rights are still not purchased at the end of the second 90 day period,
then the Certificate Insurer's notice of termination under subsection (a) will
be of no further effect.
(c) Any successor servicer under this Section 7.04 must be an
institution which is a FNMA or FHLMC approved seller/servicer for first and
second mortgage loans in good standing, which has a net worth of at least
$15,000,000, and which is approved in writing by the Pool Insurer and the
Certificate Insurer. Furthermore, as a condition to the designation of any
successor servicer, each Rating Agency must acknowledge that its rating of the
Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will
not be qualified, withdrawn or downgraded as a result of such designation
(without regard to the Certificate Insurance Policy). Any successor servicer
shall comply with the second and third paragraphs of Section 7.02. The Trustee
may bid for and become the successor servicer in connection with a termination
under this Section 7.04, but only upon payment of consideration for the purchase
of the rights to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement as contemplated
in this Section 7.04. Pending designation of a successor servicer under this
Section 7.04, the Servicer shall continue to act as servicer hereunder, provided
that no termination under Section 7.01 occurs. The Servicer shall cooperate with
the Trustee and the successor servicer in all actions necessary to effectuate
the transfer of servicing responsibilities.
131
(d) In connection with any solicitation or sale of the rights
to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement by the Servicer to a
successor servicer, the following procedures shall apply. The Servicer shall
prepare appropriate "request for proposal" materials and shall provide copies
thereof to the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee. The Servicer shall solicit
good faith bids for the rights to service the Mortgage Loans under this
Agreement from at least 3 entities that meet the eligibility criteria of Section
7.02 and are reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, the Pool Insurer and the
Certificate Insurer; or, if 3 such entities cannot be located, then from as many
entities meeting the above requirements as can be located by the Servicer. The
bid proposal shall require the successful bidder, as a condition of such bid, to
execute an agreement containing an assumption by such entity of the rights,
powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer
(other than liabilities of the Servicer under Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior
to termination of the Servicer under Section 7.04 hereunder), with like effect
as if originally named as a party to this Agreement, and agreeing to accept as
compensation the servicing compensation provided in Section 3.14 herein. The
Servicer shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with the attempt to sell the rights to service the Mortgage Loans, as
well as any out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the transfer to a
successor servicer under this Section 7.04, including any such costs that are
incurred by the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer or any Custodian.
Subject to the foregoing and to any other outstanding obligations of the
Servicer under this Agreement, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive the net
cash proceeds of the sale of the servicing rights to the successor servicer.
(e) Any solicitation or sale of the rights to service the
Mortgage Loans under this Agreement to a successor servicer arranged by the
Certificate Insurer shall be conducted under procedures similar to subsection
(d) above, using "request for proposal" materials prepared by the Servicer. The
bids shall be solicited by the Certificate Insurer, and the Servicer will be
responsible for all out-of-pocket costs of the Certificate Insurer in arranging
or attempting to arrange any such sale.
(f) The Certificate Insurer shall be a third party beneficiary
of the provisions of this Section 7.04.
132

not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument.

forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Agreement against the Trustee and the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be genuine and to
have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any
matters arising hereunder;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of
the Trustee, unless it shall be finally proven that the Trustee was

action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not
less than 25% of the Voting Rights of Certificates 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 this Agreement.

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 and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to
ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any signature of any such party
or parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers

Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against
the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or
thereby.
SECTION 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be
taken as the statements of the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, and
the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes
no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document, or of MERS or the
MERS(R) System, other than with respect to the Trustee's execution and
countersignature of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for
the use or application by the Depositor or the Servicer of any funds paid to the
Depositor or the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or
withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Depositor or the Servicer.
SECTION 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
the owner or pledgee of Certificates and may transact business with the
Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and their affiliates, with the same rights
as it would have if it were not the Trustee.
SECTION 8.05. Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
The Trustee, as compensation for its activities hereunder,
shall be entitled to withdraw from the Certificate Account on each Distribution
Date prior to making distributions pursuant to Section 4.02 an amount equal to
the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date. The Trustee and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Depositor
and the Servicer and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense
(including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) (i) incurred in connection
with any claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the Custodial
Agreement, (c) the Certificates, or (d) the performance of any of the Trustee's
duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason
of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the
Trustee's duties hereunder or incurred by reason of any action of the Trustee
taken at the direction of the Certificateholders and (ii) resulting from any
error in any tax or information return prepared by the Servicer. Such indemnity
shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of
the Trustee hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Depositor covenants
and agrees, except as otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Depositor and the
Trustee, and except for any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise
from the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, to pay or
reimburse the Trustee, for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Agreement with respect to: (A) the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of
the Certificates, (B) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of
any accountant, engineer or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the
Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must engage such persons to perform acts
or services hereunder and (C) printing and engraving expenses in connection with
preparing any Definitive Certificates.
135
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall not be entitled to
payment or reimbursement for any routine ongoing expenses incurred by the
Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee, Registrar, Tax Matters
Person or Paying Agent hereunder or for any other expenses.
SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for the Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or
association organized and doing business under the laws of a 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, subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit
rating which would not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce their
respective then current Ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such
security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as
evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency. If such corporation or association
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07. The entity serving as
Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and
its affiliates or the Servicer and its affiliates; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such
entity cannot be an affiliate of the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer other
than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Servicer.
SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the
trusts hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor,
the Seller, the Certificate Insurer, the Servicer and each Rating Agency not
less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice, when, subject to
Section 8.08, such resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor
trustee in accordance with Section 8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in
Section 8.06. If no successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have
been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving
of such notice of resignation or removal (as provided below), the resigning or
removed Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as 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, or a tax
is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or
the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the
appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee
and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy
of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy to the Servicer and the
Seller and one copy to the successor trustee.
136
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee
by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which shall be
delivered by the successor Trustee to the Servicer and the Seller, one complete
set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so
appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating
Agency and the Certificate Insurer by the successor trustee. All costs and
expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the removal of the Trustee
without cause shall be reimbursed to the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.
SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor
trustee and the Servicer and the Seller an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee
shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor trustee
shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may
reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in
the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and its appointment shall
not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as
provided in this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession
of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails
to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at
the expense of the Depositor.
SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of the Trustee.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from
any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party,
or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 without the execution or filing of
any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
137
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at
the time be located, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the
power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with
the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part
thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it
of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such
appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no
notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of 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 (it being understood that such separate trustee or
co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee
joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed
(whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer
hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the applicable Trust
Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee,
but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such
appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such
separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;
(iii) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; and
(iv) The Depositor, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for
the payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and
indemnification to any such separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and
co-trustees, when and as effectively as if given to each of them. Every
instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this
Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and
co-trustee, upon its acceptance of
138
the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in
its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as
may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Servicer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time,
constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. 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. Tax Matters.
It is intended that the assets with respect to which the REMIC
elections are to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall
constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to each such segregated
pool of assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, a "real estate
mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the Trust Fund
Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees
that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent)
on behalf of the Trust Fund and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and
file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate
Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form
adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be
prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or
local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year
with respect to each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2, and REMIC 3 containing such
information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or
state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be
furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such
times and in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of
the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue
Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name,
title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders of the
Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with
such additional information as may be required by such form, and update such
information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code; (c) make or
cause to be made elections that the assets of each of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC
3 be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year
(and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or
cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the
Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all
information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the
calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (e)
provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer
of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an
agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a Non-Permitted
Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non- Permitted Transferee is the
record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing
such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the
extent that they are under its control, conduct matters relating to such assets
at all times that any Certificates are
139
outstanding so as to maintain the status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3 as a
REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any
action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC
status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3; (h) pay, from the sources specified in
the last paragraph of this Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax,
including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on the Trust
Fund prior to its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but
such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person
from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent
the Trustee from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending
the outcome of such proceedings); (i) ensure that federal, state or local income
tax or information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person
as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws,
regulations or rules; (j) maintain records relating to the Trust Fund, including
but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the
fair market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals
as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing
returns, schedules, statements or information; and (k) as and when necessary and
appropriate, represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial
proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing
authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of the
Trust Fund, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing
agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of the Trust
Fund, and otherwise act on behalf of the Trust Fund in relation to any tax
matter or controversy involving it.
To the extent that they are under its control, the Servicer
shall conduct matters relating to the assets of each REMIC at all times that any
Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2
and REMIC 3 as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions. The Servicer shall not
knowingly or intentionally take any action that would cause the termination of
the REMIC status of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3.
In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set
forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the
Trustee within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that
the Trustee requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes
to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without
limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of
the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide
to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor any such additional
information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request
in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. The
Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages,
claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of
the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to
cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely
basis.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited
transactions" of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on
the "net income from foreclosure property" of the Trust Fund as defined in
Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to the Trust Fund after the
Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is
imposed, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by
(i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by
the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Servicer or
the Seller, in the case of any such minimum tax, if such tax arises out of or
results from
140
a breach by the Servicer or the Seller of any of their obligations under this
Agreement or (iii) the Seller, if any such tax arises out of or results from the
Seller's obligation to repurchase a related Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section
2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event that the Trustee, the
Servicer or Seller fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clauses
(i), (ii) or (iii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be
distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 4.02.
The Trustee shall treat the Basis Risk Reserve Fund as an
outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h) that
is owned by the Class II-X Certificateholder and that is not an asset of the
REMICs. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the Class II-A-1, Class II-M-1,
Class II-M-2, and Class II-B Certificateholders to receive payments from the
Basis Risk Reserve Fund as rights in an interest rate cap contract written by
the Class II-X Certificateholder in favor of the Class II-A-1, Class II-M-1,
Class II-M-2, and Class II-B Certificateholders. Thus, each Certificate other
than the Class II-X Certificates shall be treated as representing ownership of
not only REMIC Regular Interests, but also ownership of an interest in an
interest rate cap contract. For purposes of determining the issue price of the
REMIC Regular interests, the Trustee shall assume that the interest rate cap
contract has a value of $5,000.
Neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall enter into any
arrangement by which any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 will receive a fee or
other compensation for services nor permit any of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to
receive any income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code.
SECTION 8.12. Periodic Filings.
The Trustee shall, on behalf of the Trust Fund, cause to be
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission any periodic reports required
to be filed under the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
thereunder. In connection with the preparation and filing of such periodic
reports, the Depositor and the Servicer shall timely provide to the Trustee all
material information available to them which is required to be included in such
reports. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to
properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the
Trustee's inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its
own negligence or willful misconduct.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01. Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of the Mortgage
Loans.
Subject to Section 9.03, the rights, obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee
created hereunder with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the
earlier of (a) the purchase by the Servicer of all Mortgage Loans (and REO
Properties) remaining at the price equal to the sum of (A) 100% of the Stated
Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than in respect of REO Property)
plus one month's accrued interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate and
(B) the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by
the higher of two appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by
the Depositor at the expense of the Depositor and (y) the Stated Principal
Balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, in each case plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate and (b) the
later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the
disposition of all REO Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders
and the Certificate Insurer of all amounts required to be distributed to them
pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue
beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the 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. The right to repurchase all
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to clause (a) above shall be
conditioned upon the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
and the appraised value of the REO Properties at the time of any such
repurchase, aggregating less than ten percent of the Aggregate Collateral
Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and the payment to the
Certificate Insurer of all amounts due to it under this Agreement or the
Insurance Agreement.
SECTION 9.02. Final Distribution on the Certificates.
If on any Determination Date, the Trustee determines that
there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the
Trust Fund other than the funds in the Collection Accounts and Certificate
Account, the Trustee shall promptly send a final distribution notice to each
Certificateholder and the Certificate Insurer. If the Depositor elects to
terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01, at least 20 days prior to the
date notice is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders the Depositor
shall notify the Servicer and the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee of the
date the Depositor intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable
repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the
Distribution Date on which Certificateholders shall surrender their Certificates
for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly
by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th
day and not later than the 15th day of the month next preceding the month of
such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date
upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation
and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount
of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which
142
such presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date
otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions
being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the
office therein specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to each Rating
Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the
Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class,
in each case on the final Distribution Date and in the order set forth in
Section 4.02, in the case of the Certificateholders, in proportion to their
respective Percentage Interests, with respect to Certificateholders of the same
Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class of Regular Certificates, the
Certificate Balance thereof plus accrued interest thereon (or on their Notional
Amount, if applicable) in the case of an interest-bearing Certificate, and (ii)
as to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit in
the Collection Accounts (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after
application pursuant to clause (i) above.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not
surrender Certificates for cancellation 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 for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable
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 funds and other
assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the
second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Class A-R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and
other assets of the Trust Fund concurrently on a pro rata basis.
SECTION 9.03. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event that the Servicer exercises its purchase
option with respect to the Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 9.01, at such
time as the Mortgage Loans are so purchased, the Trust Fund shall be terminated
in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has
been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Depositor, to
the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.03
will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" on
any REMIC as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause REMIC 1, REMIC 2
or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding:
(1) Within 90 days prior to the final
Distribution Date set forth in the notice
given by the Trustee under Section 9.02, the
Depositor shall prepare and the Trustee, at
the expense of the Depositor, shall adopt a
plan of complete liquidation within the
meaning of Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code
which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
(which opinion shall not be an expense of
the Trustee, the
143
Tax Matters Person or the Trust Fund), meets
the requirements of a qualified liquidation;
(2) Within 90 days after the time of adoption of
such a plan of complete liquidation, the
Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the
Trust Fund to the Depositor for cash in
accordance with Section 9.01; and
On the date specified for final
payment of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall, after payment of any unreimbursed
Advances, Servicing Advances, Servicing Fees
or other fee compensation payable to the
Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, make
final distributions of principal and
interest on the Certificates in accordance
with Section 4.02 and distribute or credit,
or cause to be distributed or credited, to
the Holders of the Residual Certificates all
cash on hand after such final payment (other
than the cash retained to meet claims), and
the Trust Fund (and any REMIC) shall
terminate at that time.
(b) The Trustee as agent for REMIC 1, REMIC 2 and REMIC 3
hereby agrees to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation upon the
written request of the Depositor, and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel
referred to in Section 9.03(a)(1) and to take such other action in connection
therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Depositor.
(c) By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders
thereof hereby authorize the Depositor to prepare and the Trustee to adopt and
sign a plan of complete liquidation.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01. Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee without the consent of any
of the Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct
any defective provision herein or to supplement any provision herein which may
be inconsistent with any other provision herein, (iii) to add to the duties of
the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer, (iv) to add any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising hereunder or (v) to modify, alter,
amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this
Agreement; PROVIDED that any action pursuant to clauses (iv) or (v) above shall
not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not
be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, but shall be at the expense of
the party proposing such amendment), adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of any Certificateholder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such Opinion
of Counsel shall be required if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a
letter from each Rating Agency (determined without regard to the Certificate
Insurance Policy) stating that the amendment would not result in the downgrading
or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it
being understood and agreed that any such
144
letter in and of itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality
of any such amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit
issues affecting any such rating. The Trustee, the Depositor, the Seller and the
Servicer also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement without
the consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to any of its
provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the
qualification of REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 as a REMIC under the Code, (ii)
avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund
pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time prior to the final
redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any other requirements of
the Code, PROVIDED that the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer have been
provided an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the party
requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee
or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or helpful to, as
applicable, (i) maintain such qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of
the imposition of such a tax or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the
Code.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Class of Certificates affected thereby
for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no
such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing
of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent
of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than
as described in clause (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
of such Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating
66%, or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of
which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the
Holders of all such Certificates then outstanding. Any amendments to this
Agreement shall be subject to Section 4.07(q).
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it and the
Certificate Insurer shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel, which
opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, but shall be
at the expense of the party preparing such amendment, to the effect that such
amendment will not cause the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders or cause REMIC 1, REMIC 2 or REMIC 3 to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this
Agreement, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance or a
copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder if the consent of
Certificateholders was required, the Certificate Insurer and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of
Certificateholders under this Section 10.01 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 execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be
subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
145
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter
into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall
not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee
that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and
that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and
(ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the
immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this
Section 10.01.
SECTION 10.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.

public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable

direction by the Trustee accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this
Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be
executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which
counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.

obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management

third party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by

action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this
Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a
written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein
provided, and unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of
the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written
request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own
name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of
such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to
institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended,
and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or
themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice

right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the

authentication thereof by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall
be deemed fully paid.

for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as
expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the
first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable
Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to
Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such
Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. [The Record Date applicable to each
Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month
of such Distribution Date.][The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date
is the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date;
provided that if this Certificate is not a Book- Entry Certificate, then the
Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the
month next preceding such Distribution Date.]
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder
shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior
to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the
conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if
not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such
Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final distribution
on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and
surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or such other
location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
G-2
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Seller, the Special Servicer and the Trustee
with the consent of the Holders of Certificates affected by such amendment
evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the Agreement. Any
such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding
on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by the
Trustee in New York, New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed
by the holder hereof or such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust
Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Seller and the
Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
and none of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor, the
Trustee, or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the sum of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and the appraised value of the REO
Properties at the time of repurchase is less than 10% of the sum of the
Aggregate Collateral Balance of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will have the
option to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans
and REO Properties at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement.
In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and
responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon the later of the
maturity or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the distribution to
Certificateholders of all
G-3
amounts required to be distributed pursuant to the Agreement. In no event,
however, will the trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration
of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the
date of the Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement.
Any term used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the
meaning assigned in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed
inconsistent with that meaning.

CSFB Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2001-S15
Class [_______]
STATE OF )
) ss.:
COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of , the proposed Transferee of an
Ownership Interest in a Class A-R-[1][2][3] Certificate (the "Certificate")
issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (the "Agreement"),
relating to the above-referenced Series, among Credit Suisse First Boston
Mortgage Securitites Corp. as depositor, DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc. as seller
("DLJMC"), Wilshire Credit Corporation as servicer ("Wilshire"), Vesta
Servicing, L.P. as special servicer ("Vesta") and The Chase Manhattan Bank as
trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in
Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit
on behalf of the Transferee.
2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the
date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate either (i) for its own account or (ii) as
nominee, trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an
affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The
Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax
will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not
Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if
such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and
(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for
the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that
such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of
Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will
be imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any time
during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in
J-1
such entity. The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for
any period with respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through
entity an affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the
pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false.
(For this purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment
company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership,
trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in
Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a
nominee for another Person.)
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the
Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference)
and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership
Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on
subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and
mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by
the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on
the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any
breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer
to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any
Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth as EXHIBIT J to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate") to the
effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the
Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment
or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
Certificate.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is [_____________].
9. The Transferee is a United States Person.
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a "noneconomic
residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the
income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer
was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
11. The Transferee is (a) not an employee benefit plan that is subject
to ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, and the
Transferee is not acting on behalf of such a plan or (b) an employee benefit
plan that is subject to ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of
J-2
the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf of such a plan and will
provide an Opinion of Counsel in accordance with the provisions of Agreement .

or beneficial.
"Permitted Transferee": Any person other than (i) the United States,
any State or political subdivision thereof, or any agency or instrumentality of
any of the foregoing, (ii) a foreign government, International Organization or
any agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, (iii) an organization
(except certain farmers' cooperatives described in section 521 of the Code)
which is exempt from tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax
imposed by section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income) on any
excess inclusions (as defined in section 860E(c)(1) of the Code) with respect to
any Residual Certificate, (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives
described in section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, (v) a Person that is not a

thereof or the District of Columbia, or an estate whose income from sources
without the United States is includible in gross income for federal income tax
purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business
within the United States or a trust if a court within the United States is able
to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or

SCHEDULE V
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RELATING TO THE MORTGAGE LOANS
(i) The Seller or its affiliate is the sole owner of record and holder
of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note.
Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Depositor on the Closing
Date, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, were not
subject to an assignment or pledge, and the Seller had good and marketable title
to and was the sole owner thereof and had full right to transfer and sell the
Mortgage Loan to the Depositor free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien,
pledge, charge, claim or security interest and has the full right and authority
subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party,
to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan and following the sale of the Mortgage
Loan, the Depositor will own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any
encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or
security interest.
(ii) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law
including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement
procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure
laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all material
respects.
(iii) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been
impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written
instruments which have been recorded to the extent any such recordation is
required by law, or, necessary to protect the interest of the Depositor. No
instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no
Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms thereof except
in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption agreement is
part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has
been approved by the issuer of any related Primary Insurance Policy and title
insurance policy, to the extent required by the related policies.
(iv) The Mortgage Loan complies with all the terms, conditions and
requirements of the originator's underwriting standards in effect at the time of
origination of such Mortgage Loan.
(v) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, attached
to the Agreement as Schedule I, is complete, true and correct in all material
respects as of the Cut-off Date.
(vi) With respect to any First Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage is a
valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the Mortgaged
Property and, with respect to any Second Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage is
a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected second lien on the Mortgaged
Property, all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and
mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems affixed
to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements made at any
time with respect to the foregoing securing
V-1
the Mortgage Note's original principal balance. The Mortgage and the Mortgage
Note do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other interest or
right thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and
encumbrances having priority over the first or second lien, as applicable, of
the Mortgage subject only to (1) with respect to any Second Mortgage Loan, the
related First Mortgage Loan, (2) the lien of non-delinquent current real
property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (3) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of the
public record as of the date of recording which are acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions generally and either (A) which are referred to or otherwise
considered in the appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B)
which do not adversely affect the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property as
set forth in such appraisal, and (4) other matters to which like properties are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the
Mortgage Loan establishes and creates (1) with respect to any First Mortgage
Loan, a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien and first
priority security interest and (2) with respect to any second lien Mortgage
Loan, a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected second lien and second
priority security interest, in each case, on the property described therein, and
the Seller has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Depositor.
(vii) There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have
been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under
law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property
which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage.
(viii) All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water,
sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously
became due and owing have been paid, or escrow funds have been established in an
amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and
which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.
(ix) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the
defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage
Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has
been asserted with respect thereto.
(x) The Mortgaged Property is not subject to any material damage by
waste, fire, earthquake, windstorm, flood or other casualty. At origination of
the Mortgage Loan there was, and there currently is, no proceeding pending for
the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property.
V-2
(xi) All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in
determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the
boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly
within the project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on
adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are
insured against by a title insurance policy and all improvements on the property
comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances.
(xii) Seller has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee or
the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee the original Mortgage bearing evidence
that such instruments have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdiction where
the Mortgaged Property is located as determined by the Seller (or, in lieu of
the original of the Mortgage or the assignment thereof, a duplicate or conformed
copy of the Mortgage or the instrument of assignment, if any, together with a
certificate of receipt from the Seller or the settlement agent who handled the
closing of the Mortgage Loan, certifying that such copy or copies represent true
and correct copy(ies) of the original(s) and that such original(s) have been or
are currently submitted to be recorded in the appropriate governmental recording
office of the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located) or a
certification or receipt of the recording authority evidencing the same.
(xiii) The Mortgage File contains each of the documents specified in
Section 2.01(b) of the Agreement.
(xiv) As of the Closing Date, each Mortgage Loan shall be serviced in
all material respects in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
(xv) All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the
Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable under the FNMA Guides,
against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are
provided for in the FNMA Guides or by FHLMC, as well as all additional
requirements set forth in this Agreement. All such standard hazard policies are
in full force and effect and on the date of origination contained a standard
mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors in interest and assigns as
loss payee and such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have
been paid. If at the time of origination, the Mortgage Loan was required to have
flood insurance coverage in accordance with the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973, as amended, such Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy
meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration which policy conforms to FNMA and FHLMC requirements, as well as
all additional requirements set forth in this Agreement. Such policy was issued
by an insurer acceptable under FNMA or FHLMC guidelines. The Mortgage obligates
the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost
and expense, and upon the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of
the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and
to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.
V-3
(xvi) With respect to a First or Second Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage
creates a first or second lien or a first or second priority ownership interest
in an estate in fee simple in real property securing the related Mortgage Note.
(xvii) As of the Cut-off Date, no Mortgage Loan is (a) a non-performing
loan (i.e. a mortgage loan that is more than 90 days delinquent); (b) a
re-performing loan (i.e. a mortgage loan that was more than 90 days delinquent
within the twleve months period preceding the Cut-off Date but is contractually
current); or (c) a sub-performing loan (i.e. a mortgage loan that is at least 30
days delinquent but subject to a payment plan or agreement pursuant to which the
Mortgagor is contractually current);
(xviii) With respect to the First Mortgage Loans included in the Trust
Fund , with respect to Group I, 57.50%, and with respect to Group II, 53.75% of
such First Mortgage Loans have a related Second Mortgage Loan included in the
Trust Fund (based on the Cut-ff Date Principal Balance).
(xix) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and
genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker
thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general
application affecting the rights of creditors and by general equitable
principles.
