ARTICLE II
CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THE CERTIFICATES
Section 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
The Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does
hereby assign to the Trustee, without recourse all the right, title and interest
of the Seller in and to (a) the Trust Estate, including all interest (other than
the portion, if any, representing the Fixed Retained Yield) and principal
received by the Seller on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the
Cut-Off Date (and including scheduled payments of principal and interest due
after the Cut-Off Date but received by the Seller on or before the Cut-Off Date
and Unscheduled Principal Receipts received or applied on the Cut-Off Date, but
not including payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or
before the Cut-Off Date), (b) the Insurance Policies, (c) the obligations of the
Servicers under the Servicing Agreements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and
(d) proceeds of all the foregoing.
In connection with such assignment, the Seller shall, with respect to each
Mortgage Loan, deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee, as initial
custodian, on or before the Closing Date, an Owner Mortgage Loan File. If any
Mortgage or an assignment of a Mortgage to the Trustee or any prior assignment
is in the process of being recorded on the Closing Date, the Seller shall
deliver a copy thereof, certified by Norwest Mortgage or the applicable Norwest
Mortgage Correspondent to be a true and complete copy of the document sent for
recording, and the Seller shall use its best efforts to cause each such original
recorded document or certified copy thereof to be delivered to the Trustee
promptly following its recordation. The Seller shall also cause to be delivered
to the Trustee any other original mortgage loan document to be included in the
Owner Mortgage Loan File if a copy thereof has been delivered.
In lieu of recording an assignment of any Mortgage the Seller may, to the
extent set forth in any Servicing Agreement, deliver or cause to be delivered to
the Trustee the assignment of the Mortgage Loan from the Seller to the Trustee
in a form suitable for recordation, together with an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that recording is not required to protect the Trustee's right, title and
interest in and to the related Mortgage Loan or, in case a court should
recharacterize the sale of the Mortgage Loans as a financing, to perfect a first
priority security interest in favor of the Trustee in the related Mortgage Loan.
In the event that the Master Servicer receives notice that recording is required
to protect the right, title and interest of the Trustee in and to any such
Mortgage Loan for which recordation of an assignment has not previously been
required, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Trustee
shall within five Business Days (or such other reasonable period of time
mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Trustee) of its receipt of
such notice deliver each previously unrecorded assignment to the related
Servicer for recordation.
Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, the
assignments and other documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and declares
that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents constituting
a part of the Owner Mortgage Loan Files delivered to it in trust, upon the
trusts herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders,
to review each Owner Mortgage Loan File within 45 days after execution of this
Agreement in order to ascertain that all required documents set forth in Section
2.01 have been executed and received and appear regular on their face, and that
such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, and in so doing the Trustee may rely on the purported due execution
and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any
signature thereon. If within such 45 day period the Trustee finds any document
constituting a part of an Owner Mortgage Loan File not to have been executed or
received or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule or not to appear regular on its face, the Trustee shall promptly
(and in no event more than 30 days after the discovery of such defect) notify
the Seller, which shall have a period of 60 days after the date of such notice
within which to correct or cure any such defect. The Seller hereby covenants and
agrees that, if any material defect is not so corrected or cured, the Seller
will, not later than 60 days after the Trustee's notice to it referred to above
respecting such defect, either (i) repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or any
property acquired in respect thereof from the Trust Estate at a price equal to
(a) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan plus (b) accrued
interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate less any Fixed Retained Yield through the
last day of the month in which such repurchase takes place or (ii) if within two
years of the Startup Day, or such other period permitted by the REMIC
Provisions, substitute for any Mortgage Loan to which such material defect
relates, a new mortgage loan (a "Substitute Mortgage Loan") having such
characteristics so that the representations and warranties of the Seller set
forth in Section 2.03(b) hereof (other than Section 2.03(b)(i)) would not have
been incorrect had such Substitute Mortgage Loan originally been a Mortgage
Loan. In no event shall any Substitute Mortgage Loan have an unpaid principal
balance, as of the date of substitution, greater than the Scheduled Principal
Balance (reduced by the scheduled payment of principal due on the Due Date in
the month of substitution) of the Mortgage Loan for which it is substituted. In
addition, such Substitute Mortgage Loan shall have a Loan-to-Value Ratio less
than or equal to and a Mortgage Interest Rate equal to that of the Mortgage Loan
for which it is substituted.
In the case of a repurchased Mortgage Loan or property, the purchase price
shall be deposited by the Seller in the Certificate Account maintained by the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01. In the case of a Substitute Mortgage
Loan, the Owner Mortgage Loan File relating thereto shall be delivered to the
Trustee and the Substitution Principal Amount, together with (i) interest on
such Substitution Principal Amount at the applicable Net Mortgage Interest Rate
to the following Due Date of such Mortgage Loan which is being substituted for
and (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Periodic
Advances in respect of interest previously made by the Servicer, Master Servicer
or Trustee with respect to such Mortgage Loan, shall be deposited in the
Certificate Account. The Monthly Payment on the Substitute Mortgage Loan for the
Due Date in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Estate.
Upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of any such deposit signed
by an officer of the Seller, or the new Owner Mortgage Loan File, as the case
may be, the Trustee shall release to the Seller the related Owner Mortgage Loan
File and shall execute and deliver such instrument of transfer or assignment, in
each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller legal
and beneficial ownership of such substituted or repurchased Mortgage Loan or
property. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to
substitute a new Mortgage Loan for or repurchase any Mortgage Loan or property
as to which such a material defect in a constituent document exists shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. The
failure of the Trustee to give any notice contemplated herein within forty-five
(45) days after the execution of this Agreement shall not affect or relieve the
Seller's obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section
2.02.
The Trustee may, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof or at
any time thereafter, enter into a Custodial Agreement substantially in the form
of Exhibit E hereto pursuant to which the Trustee appoints a Custodian to hold
the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, the assignments and other documents related
to the Mortgage Loans received by the Trustee in trust for the benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders, which may provide, among other things,
that the Custodian shall conduct the review of such documents required under the
first paragraph of this Section 2.02.

rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with
respect thereto;
(xix) Each Mortgage Note is payable in monthly payments,
resulting in complete amortization of the Mortgage Loan over a term of
not more than 360 months;
(xx) Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder
thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of
the benefits of the security, including realization by judicial
foreclosure (subject to any limitation arising from any bankruptcy,
insolvency or other law for the relief of debtors), and there is no
homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would
interfere with such right of foreclosure;
(xxi) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, no
Mortgagor is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding;
(xxii) Each Mortgaged Property is located in the United States
and consists of a one- to four-unit residential property, which may
include a detached home, townhouse, condominium unit or a unit in a
planned unit development or, in the case of Mortgage Loans secured by
Co-op Shares, leases or occupancy agreements; and
(xxiii) The Mortgage Loan is a "qualified
mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representations or warranties are made by
the Seller as to the environmental condition of any Mortgaged Property; the
absence, presence or effect of hazardous wastes or hazardous substances on any
Mortgaged Property; any casualty resulting from the presence or effect of
hazardous wastes or hazardous substances on, near or emanating from any
Mortgaged Property; the impact on Certificateholders of any environmental
condition or presence of any hazardous substance on or near any Mortgaged
Property; or the compliance of any Mortgaged Property with any environmental
laws, nor is any agent, person or entity otherwise affiliated with the Seller
authorized or able to make any such representation, warranty or assumption of
liability relative to any Mortgaged Property. In addition, no representations or
warranties are made by the Seller with respect to the absence or effect of fraud
in the origination of any Mortgage Loan.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.03(b) shall survive delivery of the respective Owner
Mortgage Loan Files to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the
Trustee, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.
(c) Upon discovery by either the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee
or the Custodian that any of the representations and warranties made in
subsection (b) above is not accurate (referred to herein as a "breach") and that
such breach materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties (any Custodian
being so obligated under a Custodial Agreement). Within 60 days of the earlier
of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach, the Seller shall
cure such breach in all material respects or shall either (i) repurchase the
Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect thereof from the Trustee at a
price equal to (A) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan
plus (B) accrued interest at the Net Mortgage Interest Rate for such Mortgage
Loan through the last day of the month in which such repurchase took place or
(ii) if within two years of the Startup Day, or such other period permitted by
the REMIC Provisions, substitute for such Mortgage Loan in the manner described
in Section 2.02. The purchase price of any repurchase described in this
paragraph and the Substitution Principal Amount, if any, plus accrued interest
thereon and the other amounts referred to in Section 2.02, shall be deposited in
the Certificate Account. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the
Seller to repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan or property as to which
such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy
respecting such breach available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf
of Certificateholders, and such obligation shall survive until termination of
the Trust Estate hereunder.
Section 2.04. Execution and Delivery of Certificates.
The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans and the
delivery of the Owner Mortgage Loan Files to it, and, concurrently with such
delivery, (i) acknowledges the issuance of and hereby declares that it holds the
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests on behalf of the Upper-Tier REMIC and
Certificateholders and (ii) has executed and delivered to or upon the order of
the Seller, in exchange for the Mortgage Loans and Uncertificated Lower-Tier
Interests together with all other assets included in the definition of "Trust
Estate", receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Certificates in authorized
denominations which, together with the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests,
evidence ownership of the entire Trust Estate.

Startup Day and Latest Possible Maturity Date.
The Seller hereby designates the Subclasses of Class A Certificates (other
than the Class A-R and Class A-LR Certificates), the Class M Certificates and
the Subclasses of Class B Certificates as classes of "regular interests" and the
Class A-R Certificate as the single class of "residual interest" in the
Upper-Tier REMIC for the purposes of Code Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860G(a)(2),
respectively. The Seller hereby further designates the Class A-L1 Interest,
Class A-L3 Interest, Class A-L5 Interest, Class A-L7 Interest, Class AP-L
Interest, Class A-LUR Interest, Class B-L1 Interest, Class B-L2 Interest, Class
B-L3 Interest, Class B-L4 Interest, Class B-L5 Interest and Class M-L Interest
as classes of "regular interests" and the Class A-LR Certificate as the single
class of "residual interest" in the Lower-Tier REMIC for the purposes of Code
Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860G(a)(2), respectively. The Closing Date is hereby
designated as the "Startup Day" of the REMIC within the meaning of Code Section
860G(a)(9). The "latest possible maturity date" of the regular interests in the

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST ESTATE: SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01. Certificate Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Certificate Account
for the deposit of funds received by the Master Servicer with respect to the
Mortgage Loans serviced by each Servicer pursuant to each of the Servicing
Agreements. Such account shall be maintained as an Eligible Account. The Master
Servicer shall give notice to each Servicer and the Seller of the location of
the Certificate Account and of any change in the location thereof.
(b) The Master Servicer shall deposit into the Certificate Account on the
day of receipt thereof all amounts received by it from any Servicer pursuant to
any of the Servicing Agreements, and shall, in addition, deposit into the
Certificate Account the following amounts, in the case of amounts specified in
clause (i), not later than the Distribution Date on which such amounts are
required to be distributed to Certificateholders and, in the case of the amounts
specified in clause (ii), not later than the Business Day next following the day
of receipt and posting by the Master Servicer:
(i) Periodic Advances pursuant to Section 3.03(a) made by the
Master Servicer or the Trustee, if any; and
(ii) in the case of any Mortgage Loan that is repurchased by
the Seller pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or that is auctioned by the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.08 or purchased by the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.08 or 9.01, the purchase price therefor
or, where applicable, any Substitution Principal Amount and any amounts
received in respect of the interest portion of unreimbursed Periodic
Advances.
(c) The Master Servicer shall cause the funds in the Certificate Account to
be invested in Eligible Investments. No such Eligible Investments will be sold
or disposed of at a gain prior to maturity unless the Master Servicer has
received an Opinion of Counsel or other evidence satisfactory to it that such
sale or disposition will not cause the Trust Estate to be subject to Prohibited
Transactions Tax, otherwise subject the Trust Estate to tax, or cause either of
the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC while
any Certificates are outstanding. Any amounts deposited in the Certificate
Account prior to the Distribution Date shall be invested for the account of the
Master Servicer and any investment income thereon shall be additional
compensation to the Master Servicer for services rendered under this Agreement.
The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account by the Master Servicer out of its own funds
immediately as realized.
Section 3.02. Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate
Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the
Certificate Account for the following purposes (limited, in the case of Servicer
reimbursements, to cases where funds in the respective Custodial P&I Account are
not sufficient therefor):
(i) to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any
Servicer for Periodic Advances made by the Master Servicer or the
Trustee pursuant to Section 3.03(a) or any Servicer pursuant to any
Servicing Agreement with respect to previous Distribution Dates, such
right to reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (i) being limited to
amounts received on or in respect of particular Mortgage Loans
(including, for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds, REO Proceeds and
proceeds from the purchase, sale, repurchase or substitution of
Mortgage Loans pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.03, 3.08 or 9.01)
respecting which any such Periodic Advance was made;
(ii) to reimburse any Servicer, the Master Servicer or the
Trustee for any Periodic Advances determined in good faith to have
become Nonrecoverable Advances provided, however, that any portion of
Nonrecoverable Advances representing Fixed Retained Yield shall be
reimbursable only from amounts constituting Fixed Retained Yield and
not from the assets of the Trust Estate;
(iii) to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Servicer from
Liquidation Proceeds for Liquidation Expenses and for amounts expended
by the Master Servicer or any Servicer pursuant hereto or to any
Servicing Agreement, respectively, in good faith in connection with the
restoration of damaged property or for foreclosure expenses;
(iv) from any Mortgagor payment on account of interest or
other recovery (including Net REO Proceeds) with respect to a
particular Mortgage Loan, to pay the Master Servicing Fee with respect
to such Mortgage Loan to the Master Servicer;
(v) to reimburse the Master Servicer, any Servicer or the
Trustee (or, in certain cases, the Seller) for expenses incurred by it
(including taxes paid on behalf of the Trust Estate) and recoverable by
or reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 3.03(c), 3.03(d) or 6.03 or
the second sentence of Section 8.14(a) or pursuant to such Servicer's
Servicing Agreement, provided such expenses are "unanticipated" within
the meaning of the REMIC Provisions;
(vi) to pay to the Seller or other purchaser with respect to
each Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that has
been repurchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or
auctioned pursuant to Section 3.08 or to pay to the Master Servicer
with respect to each Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect
thereof that has been purchased pursuant to Section 3.08 or 9.01, all
amounts received thereon and not required to be distributed as of the
date on which the related repurchase or purchase price or Scheduled
Principal Balance was determined;
(vii) to remit funds to the Paying Agent in the amounts and in
the manner provided for herein;
(viii) to pay to the Master Servicer any interest earned on or
investment income with respect to funds in the Certificate Account;
(ix) to pay to the Master Servicer or any Servicer out of Net
Liquidation Proceeds allocable to interest the amount of any unpaid
Master Servicing Fee or Servicing Fee (as adjusted pursuant to such
Servicer's Servicing Agreement) and any unpaid assumption fees, late
payment charges or other Mortgagor charges on the related Mortgage
Loan;
(x) to withdraw from the Certificate Account any amount
deposited in the Certificate Account that was not required to be
deposited therein;
(xi) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account pursuant
to Section 9.01; and
(xii) to pay to Norwest Mortgage from any Mortgagor payment on
account of interest or other recovery (including Net REO Proceeds) with
respect to a particular Mortgage Loan, the Fixed Retained Yield, if
any, with respect to such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that with
respect to any payment of interest received by the Master Servicer in
respect of a Mortgage Loan (whether paid by the Mortgagor or received
as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or otherwise) which is less
than the full amount of interest then due with respect to such Mortgage
Loan, only that portion of such payment of interest that bears the same
relationship to the total amount of such payment of interest as the
Fixed Retained Yield Rate, if any, in respect of such Mortgage Loan
bears to the Mortgage Interest Rate shall be allocated to the Fixed
Retained Yield with respect thereto.
(b) The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any payment
to and withdrawal from the Certificate Account.
Section 3.03. Advances by Master Servicer and Trustee.
(a) In the event an Other Servicer fails to make any required Periodic
Advances of principal and interest on a Mortgage Loan as required by the related
Other Servicing Agreement prior to the Distribution Date occurring in the month
during which such Periodic Advance is due, the Master Servicer shall make
Periodic Advances to the extent provided hereby. In the event Norwest Mortgage
fails to make any required Periodic Advances of principal and interest on a
Mortgage Loan as required by the Norwest Servicing Agreement prior to the
Distribution Date occurring in the month during which such Periodic Advance is
due, the Trustee shall, to the extent required by Section 8.15, make such
Periodic Advance to the extent provided hereby, provided that the Trustee has
previously received the certificate of the Master Servicer described in the
following sentence. The Master Servicer shall certify to the Trustee with
respect to any such Distribution Date (i) the amount of Periodic Advances
required of Norwest Mortgage or such Other Servicer, as the case may be, (ii)
the amount actually advanced, (iii) the amount that the Trustee or Master
Servicer is required to advance hereunder and (iv) whether the Master Servicer
has determined that it reasonably believes that such Periodic Advance is a
Nonrecoverable Advance. Amounts advanced by the Trustee or Master Servicer shall
be deposited in the Certificate Account on the related Distribution Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee will
be obligated to make a Periodic Advance that it reasonably believes to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee may conclusively rely for any determination
to be made by it hereunder upon the determination of the Master Servicer as set
forth in its certificate.
(b) To the extent an Other Servicer fails to make an advance on account of
the taxes or insurance premiums with respect to a Mortgage Loan required
pursuant to the related Other Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall, if
the Master Servicer knows of such failure of the Servicer, advance such funds
and take such steps as are necessary to pay such taxes or insurance premiums. To
the extent Norwest Mortgage fails to make an advance on account of the taxes or
insurance premiums with respect to a Mortgage Loan required pursuant to the
Norwest Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall, if the Master Servicer
knows of such failure of Norwest Mortgage, certify to the Trustee that such
failure has occurred. Upon receipt of such certification, the Trustee shall
advance such funds and take such steps as are necessary to pay such taxes or
insurance premiums.
(c) The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each be entitled to be
reimbursed from the Certificate Account for any Periodic Advance made by it
under Section 3.03(a) to the extent described in Section 3.02(a)(i) and (a)(ii).
The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed pursuant
to Section 3.02(a)(v) for any advance by it pursuant to Section 3.03(b). The
Master Servicer shall diligently pursue restoration of such amount to the
Certificate Account from the related Servicer. The Master Servicer shall, to the
extent it has not already done so, upon the request of the Trustee, withdraw
from the Certificate Account and remit to the Trustee any amounts to which the
Trustee is entitled as reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.02 (a)(i), (ii) and
(v).
(d) Except as provided in Section 3.03(a) and (b), neither the Master
Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required to pay or advance any amount which
any Servicer was required, but failed, to deposit in the Certificate Account.
Section 3.04. Trustee to Cooperate;
Release of Owner Mortgage Loan Files.
Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of a Request for Release in
connection with the deposit by a Servicer into the Certificate Account of the
proceeds from a Liquidated Loan or of a Prepayment in Full, the Master Servicer
shall confirm to the Trustee that all amounts required to be remitted to the
Certificate Account in connection with such Mortgage Loan have been so
deposited, and shall deliver such Request for Release to the Trustee. The
Trustee shall, within five Business Days of its receipt of such a Request for
Release, release the related Owner Mortgage Loan File to the Master Servicer or
such Servicer, as requested by the Master Servicer. No expenses incurred in
connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be
chargeable to the Certificate Account.
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of
any Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, collection under any insurance
policies, or to effect a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien
of the Mortgage, the Servicer of such Mortgage Loan shall deliver to the Master
Servicer a Request for Release. Upon the Master Servicer's receipt of any such
Request for Release, the Master Servicer shall promptly forward such request to
the Trustee and the Trustee shall, within five Business Days, release the
related Owner Mortgage Loan File to the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as
requested by the Master Servicer. Any such Request for Release shall obligate
the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as the case may be, to return each and
every document previously requested from the Owner Mortgage Loan File to the
Trustee by the twenty-first day following the release thereof, unless (i) the
Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the
Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Certificate Account or (ii) the Owner
Mortgage Loan File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a
public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of
initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of
the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Master
Servicer has delivered to the Trustee a certificate of the Master Servicer or
such Servicer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such
Owner Mortgage Loan File or such document was delivered and the purpose or
purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of an Officer's Certificate of the
Master Servicer or such Servicer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated
and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such
liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Certificate Account have
been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Mortgage Loan,
the Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee to the Master Servicer
or such Servicer, as appropriate.
Upon written certification of the Master Servicer or the Servicer of such
Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer or
such Servicer, as directed by the Master Servicer, court pleadings, requests for
trustee's sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale
in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a
deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such
certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be
executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or
pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except
for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure proceeding
or trustee's sale.
Section 3.05. Reports to the Trustee; Annual Compliance
Statements.
(a) Not later than 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a statement setting forth the status of
the Certificate Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date
stating that all distributions required to be made by the Master Servicer under
this Agreement have been made (or, if any required distribution has not been
made by the Master Servicer, specifying the nature and status thereof) and
showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of
deposits into and withdrawals from such account for each category of deposit and
withdrawal specified in Sections 3.01 and 3.02. Such statement may be in the
form of the then current FNMA monthly accounting report for its Guaranteed
Mortgage Pass-Through Program with appropriate additions and changes, and shall
also include information as to the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all of
the Mortgage Loans as of the close of business as of the last day of the
calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution Date. Copies of such
statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon written
request, provided such statement is delivered, or caused to be delivered, by the
Master Servicer to the Trustee.
(b) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee on or before April 30
of each year, a certificate signed by an officer of the Master Servicer,
certifying that (i) such officer has reviewed the activities of the Master
Servicer during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof and its
performance under this agreement and (ii) to the best of such officer's
knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has performed and fulfilled
its duties, responsibilities and obligations under this agreement in all
material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the
fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or obligations, specifying each
such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof, and, (iii)
(A) the Master Servicer has received from each Servicer any financial
statements, officer's certificates, accountant's statements or other information
required to be provided to the Master Servicer pursuant to the related Servicing
Agreement and (B) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on a review of
the information provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer as described in
(iii)(A) above, each Servicer has performed and fulfilled its duties,
responsibilities and obligations under the related Servicing Agreement in all
material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the
fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or obligations, specifying each
such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of
such officers' certificate shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder upon written request provided such certificate is delivered,
or caused to be delivered, by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.
Section 3.06. Title, Management and Disposition of Any REO
Mortgage Loan.
The Master Servicer shall ensure that each REO Mortgage Loan is
administered by the related Servicer at all times so that it qualifies as
"foreclosure property" under the REMIC Provisions and that it does not earn any
"net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to tax under the REMIC
Provisions. In the event that a Servicer is unable to dispose of any REO
Mortgage Loan within the period mandated by each of the Servicing Agreements,
the Master Servicer shall monitor such Servicer to verify that such REO Mortgage
Loan is auctioned to the highest bidder within the period so specified. In the
event of any such sale of REO Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall, at the written
request of the Master Servicer and upon being supported with appropriate forms
therefor, within five Business Days of the deposit by the Master Servicer of the
proceeds of such sale or auction into the Certificate Account, release or cause
to be released to the entity identified by the Master Servicer the related Owner
Mortgage Loan File and Servicer Mortgage Loan File and shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as
shall be necessary to vest in the auction purchaser title to the REO Mortgage
Loan and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such
Owner Mortgage Loan File or Servicer Mortgage Loan File. Neither the Trustee,
the Master Servicer nor any Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust Estate,
shall provide financing from the Trust Estate to any purchaser of an REO
Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.07. Amendments to Servicing Agreements,
Modification of Standard Provisions.
(a) Subject to the prior written consent of the Trustee pursuant to Section
3.07(b), the Master Servicer from time to time may, to the extent permitted by
the applicable Servicing Agreement, make such modifications and amendments to
such Servicing Agreement as the Master Servicer deems necessary or appropriate
to confirm or carry out more fully the intent and purpose of such Servicing
Agreement and the duties, responsibilities and obligations to be performed by
the Servicer thereunder. Such modifications may only be made if they are
consistent with the REMIC Provisions, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel.
Prior to the issuance of any modification or amendment, the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee such Opinion of Counsel and an Officer's
Certificate setting forth (i) the provision that is to be modified or amended,
(ii) the modification or amendment that the Master Servicer desires to issue and
(iii) the reason or reasons for such proposed amendment or modification.
(b) The Trustee shall consent to any amendment or supplement to a Servicing
Agreement proposed by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(a), which
consent and amendment shall not require the consent of any Certificateholder if
it is (i) for the purpose of curing any mistake or ambiguity or to further
effect or protect the rights of the Certificateholders or (ii) for any other
purpose, provided such amendment or supplement for such other purpose cannot
reasonably be expected to adversely affect Certificateholders. The lack of
reasonable expectation of an adverse effect on Certificateholders may be
established through the delivery to the Trustee of (i) an Opinion of Counsel to
such effect or (ii) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect
that such amendment or supplement will not result in reduction of the current
rating assigned by that Rating Agency to the Certificates. Notwithstanding the
two immediately preceding sentences, the Trustee may, in its discretion, decline
to enter into or consent to any such supplement or amendment if its own rights,
duties or immunities shall be adversely affected.
(c)(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.07, the
Master Servicer from time to time may, without the consent of any
Certificateholder or the Trustee, enter into an amendment (A) to an Other
Servicing Agreement for the purpose of (i) eliminating or reducing Month End
Interest and (ii) providing for the remittance of Full Unscheduled Principal
Receipts by the applicable Servicer to the Master Servicer not later than the
24th day of each month (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the previous
Business Day) or (B) to the Norwest Servicing Agreement for the purpose of
changing the applicable Remittance Date to the 18th day of each month (or if
such day is not a Business Day, on the previous Business Day).
(ii)The Master Servicer may direct Norwest Mortgage to enter into an
amendment to the Norwest Servicing Agreement for the purposes described in
Sections 3.07(c)(i)(B) and 10.01(b)(iii).
Section 3.08. Oversight of Servicing.
The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the servicing of
the Mortgage Loans by each Servicer and the performance by each Servicer of all
services, duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be observed or
performed by the Servicer under its respective Servicing Agreement. In
performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner
consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices and with the Trustee's and
the Certificateholders' reliance on the Master Servicer, and in a manner
consistent with the terms and provisions of any insurance policy required to be
maintained by the Master Servicer or any Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or
any Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer acknowledges that prior to taking
certain actions required to service the Mortgage Loans, each Servicing Agreement
provides that the Servicer thereunder must notify, consult with, obtain the
consent of or otherwise follow the instructions of the Master Servicer. The
Master Servicer is also given authority to waive compliance by a Servicer with
certain provisions of its Servicing Agreement. In each such instance, the Master
Servicer shall promptly instruct such Servicer or otherwise respond to such
Servicer's request. In no event will the Master Servicer instruct such Servicer
to take any action, give any consent to action by such Servicer or waive
compliance by such Servicer with any provision of such Servicer's Servicing
Agreement if any resulting action or failure to act would be inconsistent with
the requirements of the Rating Agencies that rated the Certificates or would
otherwise have an adverse effect on the Certificateholders. Any such action or
failure to act shall be deemed to have an adverse effect on the
Certificateholders if such action or failure to act either results in (i) the
downgrading of the rating assigned by any Rating Agency to the Certificates,
(ii) the loss by the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC of REMIC status
for federal income tax purposes or (iii) the imposition of any Prohibited
Transaction Tax or any federal taxes on either the Upper-Tier REMIC, the
Lower-Tier REMIC or the Trust Estate. The Master Servicer shall have full power
and authority in its sole discretion to take any action with respect to the
Trust Estate as may be necessary or advisable to avoid the circumstances
specified including clause (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence.
For the purposes of determining whether any modification of a Mortgage Loan
shall be permitted by the Trustee or the Master Servicer, such modification
shall be construed as a substitution of the modified Mortgage Loan for the
Mortgage Loan originally deposited in the Trust Estate if it would be a
"significant modification" within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the
regulations of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. No modification shall be
approved unless (i) the modified Mortgage Loan would qualify as a Substitute
Mortgage Loan under Section 2.02 and (ii) with respect to any modification that
occurs more than three months after the Closing Date and is not the result of a
default or a reasonably foreseeable default under the Mortgage Loan, there is
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party
seeking to modify the Mortgage Loan) to the effect that such modification would
not be treated as giving rise to a new debt instrument for federal income tax
purposes as described in the preceding sentence.
During the term of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall consult fully
with each Servicer as may be necessary from time to time to perform and carry
out the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder and otherwise exercise
reasonable efforts to encourage such Servicer to perform and observe the
covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by it under
its Servicing Agreement.
The relationship of the Master Servicer to the Trustee under this Agreement
is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that
of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
The Master Servicer shall administer the Trust Estate on behalf of the
Trustee and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or (subject to
Section 6.06) through one or more subcontractors, to do any and all things in
connection with such administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.
Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and from time to time as may
be required thereafter, the Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer or its
subcontractors with any powers of attorney and such other documents as may be
necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its
administrative duties hereunder.
The Seller shall be entitled, at its option, to repurchase any defaulted
Mortgage Loan or any Mortgage Loan as to which default is reasonably foreseeable
from the Trust Estate if, in the Seller's judgment, the default is not likely to
be cured by the Mortgagor; provided, however, that the Cut-Off Date Principal
Balances of the Mortgage Loans repurchased pursuant to this provision shall not
exceed 2.5% of the Cut-Off Date Aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans. The purchase price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be 100% of the unpaid
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan plus accrued interest thereon at the
Mortgage Interest Rate, less any Fixed Retained Yield for such Mortgage Loan,
through the last day of the month in which such repurchase occurs. Upon the
receipt of such purchase price, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee
the certification required by Section 3.04 and the Trustee and the Custodian, if
any, shall promptly release to the Seller the Owner Mortgage Loan File relating
to the Mortgage Loan being repurchased.
In the event that (i) the Master Servicer determines at any time that,
notwithstanding the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.03(b),
any Mortgage Loan is not a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section
860G of the Code and (ii) the Master Servicer is unable to enforce the
obligation of the Seller to purchase such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02
within two months of such determination, the Master Servicer shall cause such
Mortgage Loan to be auctioned to the highest bidder and sold out of the Trust
Estate no later than the date 90 days after such determination. In the event of
any such sale of a Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall, at the written request of
the Master Servicer and upon being supported with appropriate forms therefor,
within five Business Days of the deposit by the Master Servicer of the proceeds
of such auction into the Certificate Account, release or cause to be released to
the entity identified by the Master Servicer the related Owner Mortgage Loan
File and Servicer Mortgage Loan File and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall
be necessary to vest in the auction purchaser title to the Mortgage Loan and the
Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Owner Mortgage
Loan File or Servicer Mortgage Loan File. Neither the Trustee, the Master
Servicer nor any Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee, shall provide
financing from the Trust Estate to any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan.
The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, pursuant to the
Servicing Agreements, object to the foreclosure upon, or other related
conversion of the ownership of, any Mortgaged Property by the related Servicer
if (i) the Master Servicer believes such Mortgaged Property may be contaminated
with or affected by hazardous wastes or hazardous substances or (ii) such
Servicer does not agree to administer such Mortgaged Property, once the related
Mortgage Loan becomes an REO Mortgage Loan, in a manner which would not result
in a federal tax being imposed upon the Trust Estate or the Upper-Tier REMIC or
Lower-Tier REMIC.
The Master Servicer may enter into a special servicing agreement with an
unaffiliated holder of 100% Percentage Interest of a Class B Subclass or a
holder of a class of securities representing interests in the Class B
Certificates and/or other subordinated mortgage pass-through certificates, such
agreement to be substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto or subject to each
Rating Agency's acknowledgment that the ratings of the Certificates in effect
immediately prior to the entering into of such agreement would not be qualified,
downgraded or withdrawn and the Certificates would not be placed on credit
review status (except for possible upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any
such agreement may contain provisions whereby such holder may instruct the
Master Servicer to instruct a Servicer to the extent provided in the applicable
Servicing Agreement to commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with respect to
delinquent Mortgage Loans and will contain provisions for the deposit of cash by
the holder that would be available for distribution to Certificateholders if
Liquidation Proceeds are less than they otherwise may have been had the Servicer
acted in accordance with its normal procedures.
Section 3.09. Termination and Substitution of Servicing
Agreements.
Upon the occurrence of any event for which a Servicer may be terminated
pursuant to its Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver
to the Seller and the Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying that an event
has occurred which may justify termination of such Servicing Agreement,
describing the circumstances surrounding such event and recommending what action
should be taken by the Trustee with respect to such Servicer. If the Master
Servicer recommends that such Servicing Agreement be terminated, the Master
Servicer's certification must state that the breach is material and not merely
technical in nature. Upon written direction of the Master Servicer, based upon
such certification, the Trustee shall promptly terminate such Servicing
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (i) Norwest Mortgage
fails to make any advance, as a consequence of which the Trustee is obligated to
make an advance pursuant to Section 3.03 and (ii) the Trustee provides Norwest
Mortgage written notice of the failure to make such advance and such failure
shall continue unremedied for a period of 15 days after receipt of such notice,
the Trustee shall terminate the Norwest Servicing Agreement without the
recommendation of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the
Trustee and hold it harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities,
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees)
arising out of, or assessed against the Trustee in connection with termination
of such Servicing Agreement at the direction of the Master Servicer. If the
Trustee terminates such Servicing Agreement, the Trustee may enter into a
substitute Servicing Agreement with the Master Servicer or, at the Master
Servicer's nomination, with another mortgage loan service company acceptable to
the Trustee, the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency under which the Master
Servicer or such substitute servicer, as the case may be, shall assume, satisfy,
perform and carry out all liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations
that are to be, or otherwise were to have been, satisfied, performed and carried
out by such Servicer under such terminated Servicing Agreement. Until such time
as the Trustee enters into a substitute servicing agreement with respect to the
Mortgage Loans previously serviced by such Servicer, the Master Servicer shall
assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all obligations which otherwise were to
have been satisfied, performed and carried out by such Servicer under its
terminated Servicing Agreement. However, in no event shall the Master Servicer
be deemed to have assumed the obligations of a Servicer to advance payments of
principal and interest on a delinquent Mortgage Loan in excess of the Master
Servicer's independent Periodic Advance obligation under Section 3.03 of this
Agreement. As compensation for the Master Servicer of any servicing obligations
fulfilled or assumed by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to any servicing compensation to which a Servicer would have been
entitled if the Servicing Agreement with such Servicer had not been terminated.
Section 3.10. 1934 Act Reports.
The Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the Seller, make all filings
required to be made by the Seller with respect to the Class A, Class M, Class
B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended.

the Class B-4 Certificates pursuant to this Paragraph nineteenth will be reduced
by the amount, if any, that would have been distributable to the Class B-4
Certificates hereunder used to pay the Class A-PO Deferred Amount as provided in
Paragraph fourth above; and
twentieth, to the Class B-5 Certificates in an amount up to the Class B
Subclass Interest Accrual Amount for the Class B-5 Certificates with respect to
such Distribution Date;
twenty-first, to the Class B-5 Certificates in an amount up to the Class
B-5 Unpaid Interest Shortfall;
twenty-second, to the Class B-5 Certificates in an amount up to the Class

to the Class B-5 Certificates pursuant to this Paragraph twenty-second will be
reduced by the amount, if any, that would have been distributable to the Class
B-5 Certificates hereunder used to pay the Class A-PO Deferred Amount as
provided in Paragraph fourth above; and
twenty-third, to the Holder of the Class ALR Certificate, any amounts
remaining in the Upper-Tier Certificate Account, and to the Holder of the Class
A-LR Certificate, any amounts remaining in the Payment Account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Principal Balance or notional
amount of any Class or Subclass (other than the Class A-R or Class A-LR
Certificate) has been reduced to zero, such Class or Subclass will be entitled
to no further distributions of principal or interest (including, without
limitation, any Unpaid Interest Shortfalls).
In addition, Net Foreclosure Profits, if any, with respect to such
Distribution Date minus any portion thereof payable to a Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.02(ix) hereof shall be distributed to the Holder of the Class A-LR
Certificate.
With respect to any Distribution Date, the amount of the Principal
Adjustment, if any, attributable to any Class B Subclass will be allocated pro
rata based on principal balance among the Class A Certificates (other than the
Class A-6 and Class A-PO Certificates), the Class M Certificates and any Class B
Subclass with a lower numerical designation and the amount of the Principal
Adjustment, if any, attributable to the Class M Certificates will be allocated
to the Subclasses of Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-6 and Class
A-PO Certificates) pro rata based on the Class A Subclass Principal Balances.
(ii)Distributions on the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests. On each
Distribution Date, each Uncertificated LowerTier Interest shall receive
distributions in respect of principal in an amount equal to the amount of
principal distributed to its respective Corresponding UpperTier Class or Classes
as provided herein. On each Distribution Date, each Uncertificated Lower-Tier
Interest (other than the Class AP-L Interest) shall receive distributions in
respect of interest in an amount equal to the (i) Class A Subclass Interest
Accrual Amount and Class A Subclass Unpaid Interest Shortfall, (ii) Class M
Interest Accrual Amount and Class M Unpaid Interest Shortfall or (iii) Class B
Subclass Interest Accrual Amount and Class B Subclass Unpaid Interest Shortfall,
as the case may be, in respect of its Corresponding Upper-Tier Class or Classes
in each case to the extent actually distributed thereon. Such amounts
distributed to the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests in respect of principal
and interest with respect to any Distribution Date are referred to herein
collectively as the "Lower-Tier Distribution Amount."
As of any date, the principal balance of each Uncertificated Lower-Tier
Interest (other than the Class A-LR Interest) equals the Class A Subclass
Principal Balance, Class M Principal Balance or Class B Subclass Principal
Balance, as the case may be, of the respective Corresponding Upper-Tier Class or
Classes. The principal balance of the Class A-L5 Interest equals the Class A
Subclass Principal Balance of the Class A-5 Certificates. The initial principal
balance of each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest (other than the Class A-LR
Interest) equals the Original Class A Subclass Principal Balance, Original Class
M Principal Balance, Original Class B-1 Principal Balance, Original Class B-2
Principal Balance, Original Class B-3 Principal Balance, Original Class B-4
Principal Balance or Original Class B-5 Principal Balance as the case may be, of
the respective Corresponding Upper-Tier Class or Classes. The initial principal
balance of the Class A-L5 Interest equals the Original Class A Subclass
Principal Balance of the Class A-5 Certificates.
The pass-through rate with respect to each Uncertificated Lower-Tier
Interest (other than the Class A-L1 Interest, Class A-L3 Interest, Class A-L5
Interest and Class AP-L Interest) shall be 7.50% per annum. The pass-through
rate with respect to the Class A-L1 Interest shall be 7.00% per annum. The
pass-through rate with respect to the Class A-L3 Interest shall be 7.00% per
annum. The pass-through rate with respect to the Class A-L5 Interest shall be
10.00% per annum. The Class AP-L Interest is a principal-only interest and is
not entitled to distributions of interest. Any Non-Supported Interest Shortfalls
will be allocated to each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest in the same
relative proportions as interest is allocated to such Uncertificated Lower-Tier
Interest.
(b) On each Distribution Date prior to the Cross-Over Date, the Class A
Non-PO Principal Distribution Amount will be allocated among and distributed in
reduction of the Class A Subclass Principal Balances of the Subclasses of Class
A Certificates (other than the Class A Subclass Principal Balance of the Class
A-PO Certificates) as follows:
first, to the Class A-7 Certificates, up to the Class A-7 Priority Amount;
second, concurrently, to the Class A-R and Class A-LR Certificates, pro
rata, until the Class A Subclass Principal Balance of each such Subclass has
been reduced to zero;
third, concurrently, as follows:
(i) 16.666666048% to the Class A-5 until the Class A Subclass
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and
(ii) 83.333333952%, sequentially, as follows:
(a) sequentially, to the Class A-1 and Class A-2
Certificates until the Class A Subclass Principal
Balance of each such Subclass has been reduced to zero;
and
(b) concurrently, to the Class A-3 and Class A-4
Certificates, pro rata, until the Class A Subclass
Principal Balance of each such Subclass has been
reduced to zero; and
fourth, to the Class A-7 Certificates (without regard to the Class A-7
Priority Amount), until the Class A Subclass Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Distribution Date occurring on
or after the Cross Over Date, the Class A Non-PO Principal Distribution Amount
will be distributed among the remaining Subclasses of Class A Certificates
(other than the Class A-6 and Class A-PO Certificates) pro rata in accordance
with their outstanding Class A Subclass Principal Balances without regard to
either the proportions or priorities set forth above.
(d) (i) For purposes of determining whether the Subclasses of Class B
Certificates are eligible to receive distributions of principal with respect to
any Distribution Date, the following tests shall apply:
(A) if the Current Class M Fractional Interest is less than
the Original Class M Fractional Interest and the Class M Principal
Balance is greater than zero, the Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3,
Class B-4 and Class B-5 Certificates shall not be eligible to receive
distributions of principal; or
(B) if the Current Class B-1 Fractional Interest is less than
the Original Class B-1 Fractional Interest and the Class B-1 Principal
Balance is greater than zero, the Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4 and
Class B-5 Certificates shall not be eligible to receive distributions
of principal; or
(C) if the Current Class B-2 Fractional Interest is less than
the Original Class B-2 Fractional Interest and the Class B-2 Principal
Balance is greater than zero, the Class B-3, Class B-4 and Class B-5
Certificates shall not be eligible to receive distributions of
principal; or
(D) if the Current Class B-3 Fractional Interest is less than
the Original Class B-3 Fractional Interest and the Class B-3 Principal
Balance is greater than zero, the Class B-4 and Class B-5 Certificates
shall not be eligible to receive distributions of principal; or
(E) if the Current Class B-4 Fractional Interest is less than
the Original Class B-4 Fractional Interest and the Class B-4 Principal
Balance is greater than zero, the Class B-5 Certificates shall not be
eligible to receive distributions of principal.
(ii)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on any Distribution Date the
aggregate distributions to Holders of the Class M Certificates and/or the
Subclasses of Class B Certificates entitled to receive distributions of
principal would reduce the Principal Balances of the Class M Certificates and/or
the Subclasses of Class B Certificates entitled to receive distributions of
principal below zero, first the Class M Prepayment Percentage and/or the Class B
Subclass Prepayment Percentage of any affected Class B Subclass for such
Distribution Date beginning with the affected Subclass with the lowest numerical
Subclass designation and then, if necessary, the Class M Percentage and/or the
Class B Subclass Percentage of such Subclass of the Class B Certificates for
such Distribution Date shall be reduced to the respective percentages necessary
to bring the Class M Principal Balance and/or the Class B Subclass Principal
Balance of such Class B Subclass to zero. The Class B Subclass Prepayment
Percentages and the Class B Subclass Percentages of the remaining Class B
Subclasses will be recomputed substituting for the Subordinated Prepayment
Percentage and Subordinated Percentage in such computations the difference
between (A) the Subordinated Prepayment Percentage or Subordinated Percentage,
as the case may be, and (B) the percentages determined in accordance with the
preceding sentence necessary to bring the Class M Principal Balance and/or the
Class B Subclass Principal Balances of the affected Class B Subclasses to zero;
provided, however, that if the Class B Subclass Principal Balances of all the
Class B Subclasses eligible to receive distributions of principal shall be
reduced to zero on such Distribution Date, the Class B Subclass Prepayment
Percentage and the Class B Subclass Percentage of the Class B Subclass with the
lowest numerical Subclass designation which would otherwise be ineligible to
receive distributions of principal in accordance with this Section shall equal
the remainder of the Subordinated Prepayment Percentage for such Distribution
Date minus the sum of the Class M Prepayment Percentage and the Class B Subclass
Prepayment Percentages of the Class B Subclasses having lower numerical Subclass
designations, if any, and the remainder of the Subordinated Percentage for such
Distribution Date minus the sum of the Class M Percentage and the Class B
Subclass Percentages of the Class B Subclasses having lower numerical Subclass
designations, if any, respectively. Any entitlement of any Class B Subclass to
principal payments solely pursuant to this clause (ii) shall not cause such
Subclass to be regarded as being eligible to receive principal distributions for
the purpose of applying the definition of its Class B Subclass Percentage or
Class B Subclass Prepayment Percentage.
(e) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Upper-Tier Certificate
Account, which shall be a separate trust account and an Eligible Account. On
each Distribution Date other than the Final Distribution Date (if such Final
Distribution Date is in connection with a purchase of the assets of the Trust
Estate by the Seller), the Paying Agent shall, on behalf of the Master Servicer,
from funds available on deposit in the Payment Account, (i) deposit, in
immediately available funds, by wire transfer or otherwise, into the Upper-Tier
Certificate Account the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and (ii) distribute to
the Class A-LR Certificateholder (other than as provided in Section 9.01
respecting the final distribution to Certificateholders) by check mailed to such
Holder at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register, the
Class A Subclass Distribution Amount with respect to the Class A-LR Certificate
and all other amounts distributable to the Class A-LR Certificate. The Trustee
may clear and terminate the Upper-Tier Certificate Account pursuant to Section
9.01.
(f) On each Distribution Date other than the Final Distribution Date (if
such Final Distribution Date is in connection with a purchase of the assets of
the Trust Estate by the Seller), the Paying Agent shall, on behalf of the Master
Servicer, from funds remitted to it by the Master Servicer, distribute to each
Certificateholder of record (other than the Class A-LR Certificateholder) on the
preceding Record Date (other than as provided in Section 9.01 respecting the
final distribution to Certificateholders or in the last paragraph of this
Section 4.01(f) respecting the final distribution in respect of any Class or
Subclass) either in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the account
of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate
facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder holds Certificates having a
Denomination at least equal to that specified in Section 11.25, and has so
notified the Master Servicer or, if applicable, the Paying Agent at least seven
Business Days prior to the Distribution Date or, if such Holder holds
Certificates having, in the aggregate, a Denomination less than the requisite
minimum Denomination or if such Holder holds the Class A-R Certificate or has
not so notified the Paying Agent, by check mailed to such Holder at the address
of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register, such Holder's share (based
on, with respect to each Class or Subclass, the aggregate of the Percentage
Interests represented by Certificates of the applicable Class or Subclass of
Certificates held by such Holder) of the Class A Subclass Distribution Amount
with respect to each Subclass of Class A Certificates, the Class M Distribution
Amount with respect to the Class M Certificates and the Class B Subclass
Distribution Amount with respect to each such Subclass of Class B Certificates.
In the event that, on any Distribution Date prior to the Final Distribution
Date, the Class A Subclass Principal Balance of any Subclass of Class A
Certificates (other than the Class A-6, Class A-R or A-LR Certificates), the
Class M Principal Balance of the Class M Certificates or the Class B Subclass
Principal Balance of any Subclass of Class B Certificates would be reduced to
zero or in the case of the Class A-6 Certificates, the Class A-6 Notional Amount
would be reduced to zero, the Master Servicer shall, as soon as practicable
after the Determination Date relating to such Distribution Date, send a notice
to the Trustee. The Trustee will then send a notice to each Certificateholder of
such Class or Subclass with a copy to the Certificate Registrar, specifying that
the final distribution with respect to such Class or Subclass will be made on
such Distribution Date only upon the presentation and surrender of such
Certificateholder's Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein
specified; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice will not
entitle a Certificateholder to any interest beyond the interest payable with
respect to such Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01(a)(i).
(g) The Paying Agent (or if no Paying Agent is appointed by the Master
Servicer, the Master Servicer) shall withhold or cause to be withheld such
amounts as may be required by the Code (giving full effect to any exemptions
from withholding and related certifications required to be furnished by
Certificateholders and any reductions to withholding by virtue of any bilateral
tax treaties and any applicable certification required to be furnished by
Certificateholders with respect thereto) from distributions to be made to
Non-U.S. Persons. Amounts withheld pursuant to this Section 4.01(g) shall be
treated as having been distributed to the related Certificateholder for all
purposes of this Agreement. For the purposes of this paragraph, a "Non-U.S.
Person" is an individual, corporation, partnership or other person other than a
citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership or other
entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any
political subdivision thereof, an estate that is subject to United States
federal income tax regardless of the source of its income or a trust if (i) for
taxable years beginning after December 31, 1996 (or for taxable years ending
after August 20, 1996, if the trustee has made an applicable election), a court
within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the
administration of such trust, and one or more United States fiduciaries have the
authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust or (ii) for all
other taxable years, such trust is subject to United States federal income tax
regardless of the source of its income.
Section 4.02. Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) With respect to any Distribution Date, the principal portion of
Realized Losses (other than Debt Service Reductions, Excess Special Hazard
Losses, Excess Fraud Losses and Excess Bankruptcy Losses) will be allocated as
follows:
first, to the Class B-5 Certificates until the Class B-5 Principal Balance
has been reduced to zero;
second, to the Class B-4 Certificates until the Class B-4 Principal Balance
has been reduced to zero;
third, to the Class B-3 Certificates until the Class B-3 Principal Balance
has been reduced to zero;
fourth, to the Class B-2 Certificates until the Class B-2 Principal Balance
has been reduced to zero;
fifth, to the Class B-1 Certificates until the Class B-1 Principal Balance
has been reduced to zero;
sixth, to the Class M Certificates until the Class M Principal Balance has
been reduced to zero; and
seventh, concurrently, to the Class A Certificates (other than the Class
A-PO Certificates) and Class A-PO Certificates, pro rata, based on the Non-PO
Fraction and the PO Fraction, respectively.
This allocation of Realized Losses will be effected through the reduction
of the applicable Class's or Subclass's Principal Balance.
(b) With respect to any Distribution Date, the principal portion of Excess
Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses and Excess Bankruptcy Losses
occurring with respect to any Mortgage Loan allocable to the Class A-PO
Certificates will equal the product of the amount of any such principal loss and
the PO Fraction for such Mortgage Loan. The principal portion of any Excess
Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses and Excess Bankruptcy Losses
remaining after allocation to the Class A-PO Certificates in accordance with the
preceding sentence shall be allocated pro rata among the Class A Certificates
(other than the Class A-PO Certificates), Class M Certificates and Class B
Certificates based on the Class A Non-PO Principal Balance, Class M Principal
Balance and the Class B Principal Balance, respectively. Any such loss allocated
to the Class A Certificates shall be allocated on the subsequent Determination
Date among the outstanding Subclasses of Class A Certificates (other than the
Class A-PO Certificates) in accordance with the Class A Subclass Loss
Percentages as of such Determination Date. Any such loss allocated to the Class
B Certificates shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Subclasses of
Class B Certificates based on their Class B Subclass Principal Balances.
(c) Any Realized Losses allocated to a Subclass of Class A Certificates or
Class B Certificates or to the Class M Certificates pursuant to Section 4.02(a)
or Section 4.02(b) shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Subclass or
Class based on their Percentage Interests.
(d) In the event that there is a recovery of an amount in respect of
principal of a Mortgage Loan which had previously been allocated as a Realized
Loss to any Subclasses of Class A Certificates, the Class M Certificates or any
Subclasses of Class B Certificates, each outstanding Class or Subclass to which
such Realized Loss had previously been allocated shall be entitled to its share
(with respect to the Class A-PO Certificates, based on the PO Fraction of such
Mortgage Loan and, with respect to the Class A Certificates (other than the
Class A-PO Certificates), Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates, based
on their pro rata share of the Non-PO Fraction of such Mortgage Loan) of such
recovery up to the amount of such Realized Loss previously allocated to such
Class or Subclass on the Distribution Date in the month following the month in
which such recovery is received. When the Principal Balance of a Class or
Subclass of Certificates has been reduced to zero, such Class or Subclass shall
not be entitled to any share of such recovery. In the event that the amount of
such recovery exceeds the amount of such recovery allocated to each outstanding
Class or Subclass in accordance with the preceding provisions, each outstanding
Class or Subclass shall be entitled to its pro rata share (determined as
described above) of such excess up to the amount of any unrecovered Realized
Loss previously allocated to such Class or Subclass.
(e) The interest portion of Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud
Losses and Excess Bankruptcy Losses shall be allocated among the Class A
Certificates, Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates, pro rata based on
the Class A Interest Accrual Amount, the Class M Interest Accrual Amount and the
Class B Interest Accrual Amount for the related Distribution Date, without
regard to any reduction pursuant to this sentence. Any such loss allocated to
the Class A Certificates shall be allocated among the outstanding Subclasses of
Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-PO Certificates) based on their
Class A Subclass Interest Percentages. Any such loss allocated to the Class B
Certificates will be allocated among the outstanding Subclasses of Class B
Certificates based on their Class B Subclass Interest Percentages. In addition,
after the Class M Principal Balance and the Class B Principal Balance have been
reduced to zero, the interest portion of Realized Losses (other than Excess
Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses and Excess Bankruptcy Losses) will be
allocated among the outstanding Subclasses of Class A Certificates (other than
the Class A-PO Certificates) based on their Class A Subclass Interest
Percentages.
(f) Realized Losses allocated in accordance with this Section 4.02 will be
allocated on the Determination Date in the second month following the month in
which such loss was incurred with respect to the preceding Distribution Date.
(g) With respect to any Distribution Date, the principal portion of
Realized Losses and recoveries attributable to previously allocated Realized
Losses allocated pursuant to this Section 4.02 will be allocated to each
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest in an amount equal to the amount allocated to
its respective Corresponding Upper-Tier Class or Classes, as provided above.
With respect to any Distribution Date, the interest portion of Realized
Losses allocated pursuant to this Section 4.02 will be allocated to each
Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest in the same relative proportions as interest
is allocated to such Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest.
Section 4.03. Paying Agent.
(a) The Master Servicer hereby appoints the Trustee as initial Paying Agent
to make distributions to Certificateholders and to forward to Certificateholders
the periodic statements and the annual statements required by Section 4.04 as
agent of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer may, at any time, remove or replace the Paying Agent.
The Master Servicer shall cause any Paying Agent that is not the Trustee to
execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent
agrees with the Trustee that such Paying Agent shall:
(i) hold all amounts remitted to it by the Master Servicer
for distribution to Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of
Certificateholders until such amounts are distributed to
Certificateholders or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;
(ii) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Master
Servicer in remitting any required amount; and
(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default,
upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee
all amounts held in trust by such Paying Agent.
(b) The Paying Agent shall establish and maintain a Payment Account, which
shall be a separate trust account and an Eligible Account, in which the Master
Servicer shall cause to be deposited from funds in the Certificate Account or,
to the extent required hereunder, from its own funds (i) at or before 10:00
a.m., New York time, on the Business Day preceding each Distribution Date, by
wire transfer of immediately available funds, any Periodic Advance for such
Distribution Date, pursuant to Section 3.03 and (ii) at or before 10:00 a.m.,

Distribution Date and (c) the amount of any recovery in respect of a Realized
Loss. The Master Servicer may cause the Paying Agent to invest the funds in the
Payment Account. Any such investment shall be in Eligible Investments, which
shall mature not later than the Business Day preceding the related Distribution
Date (unless the Eligible Investments are obligations of the Trustee, in which
case such Eligible Investments shall mature not later than the Distribution
Date), and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to maturity. All income and
gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Master
Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time. The
amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be
deposited in the Payment Account by the Master Servicer out of its own funds
immediately as realized. The Paying Agent may withdraw from the Payment Account
any amount deposited in the Payment Account that was not required to be
deposited therein and may clear and terminate the Payment Account pursuant to
Section 9.01.

In the case of information furnished with respect to a Subclass of Class A

Certificates pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) above and with respect to a

Prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding each

available to Certificateholders by the Master Servicer on written request)
setting forth the Class A Subclass Distribution Amount with respect to each

Distribution Amount with respect to each Class B Subclass. The determination by
the Master Servicer of such amounts shall, in the absence of obvious error, be
presumptively deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder and the Trustee
and the Paying Agent shall be protected in relying upon the same without any
independent check or verification.
In addition to the reports required pursuant to this Section 4.04, the
Master Servicer shall make available upon request to each Holder and each
proposed transferee of a Class M or Class B Certificate such additional
information, if any, as may be required to permit the proposed transfer to be

Section 4.05. Reports to Mortgagors and the Internal Revenue
Service.
The Master Servicer shall, in each year beginning after the Cut-Off Date,
make the reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property as
required by Code Section 6050J. In order to facilitate this reporting process,
the Master Servicer shall request that each Servicer, on or before January 15th
of each year, shall provide to the Internal Revenue Service, with copies to the
Master Servicer, reports relating to each instance occurring during the previous
calendar year in which such Servicer (i) on behalf of the Trustee acquires an
interest in a Mortgaged Property through foreclosure or other comparable
conversion in full or partial satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan serviced by such
Servicer, or (ii) knows or has reason to know that a Mortgaged Property has been
abandoned. Reports from the Servicers shall be in form and substance sufficient
to meet the reporting requirements imposed by Code Section 6050J. In addition,
each Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with sufficient information to
allow the Master Servicer to, for each year ending after the Cut-Off Date,
provide, or cause to be provided, to the Internal Revenue Service and the
Mortgagors such information as is required under Code Sections 6050H (regarding
payment of interest) and 6050P (regarding cancellation of indebtedness).
Section 4.05. Determination of LIBOR.
On each Rate Determination Date, the Trustee shall determine LIBOR for the
succeeding LIBOR Based Interest Accrual Period on the basis of the offered LIBOR
quotations of the Reference Banks (as defined below), as such quotations are
provided to the Trustee as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Rate
Determination Date. As used herein with respect to a Rate Determination Date,
"Reference Banks" means four leading banks engaged in transactions in Eurodollar
deposits in the international Eurocurrency market (i) with an established place
of business in London, (ii) whose quotations appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO
Page on the Rate Determination Date in question and (iii) which have been
designated as such by the Trustee and are able and willing to provide such
quotations to the Trustee on each Rate Determination Date; and "Reuters Screen
LIBO Page" means the display designated as page "LIBO" on the Reuters Monitor
Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace the LIBO page on that
service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rate quotations
of major banks). If a Reference Bank should be removed from the Reuters Screen
LIBO Page or in any other way fails to meet the qualifications of a Reference
Bank, the Trustee may, in its sole discretion, designate an alternative
Reference Bank.
On each Rate Determination Date, LIBOR for the Distribution Date in the
succeeding months will be established by the Trustee as follows:
(i) If on any Rate Determination Date two or more of the
Reference Banks provide such offered quotations, LIBOR for the
Distribution Date in the succeeding month will be the arithmetic mean
of such offered quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean upwards if
necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/16%).
(ii) If on any Rate Determination Date only one or none of the
Reference Banks provides such offered quotations, LIBOR for the
Distribution Date in the succeeding month will be whichever is higher
of (x) LIBOR as determined on the previous Rate Determination Date or
(y) the Reserve Interest Rate. The "Reserve Interest Rate" will be the
rate per annum which the Trustee determines to be either (A) the
arithmetic mean (rounding such arithmetic mean upwards if necessary to
the nearest whole multiple of 1/16%) of the one-month Eurodollar
lending rates that New York City banks selected by the Trustee are
quoting, on the relevant Rate Determination Date, to the principal
London offices of at least two leading banks in the London interbank
market or (B) in the event that the Trustee can determine no such
arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month Eurodollar lending rate that the
New York City banks selected by the Trustee are quoting on such Rate
Determination Date to leading European banks.
(iii) If on any Rate Determination Date the Trustee is required
but is unable to determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the manner
provided in paragraph (ii) above, LIBOR for the Distribution Date in
the succeeding month will be LIBOR as determined on the previous Rate
Determination Date, or, in the case of the first Rate Determination
Date, 5.375%.
The establishment of LIBOR by the Trustee and the Trustee's subsequent
calculation of the rates of interest applicable to the Class A-5 and Class A-6
Certificates, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and binding. After
a Rate Determination Date, the Trustee shall provide the Class A Subclass
Pass-Through Rates of the Class A5 and Class A-6 Certificates for the related
Distribution Date to Beneficial Owners or Holders of Class A-5 and Class A-6
Certificates who place a telephone call to the Trustee at (000) 000-0000 and
make a request therefor.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates shall be issued only in
minimum Denominations of a Single Certificate and, except for the Class A-R and
Class A-LR Certificates, integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof (except,
if necessary, for one Certificate of each Class or Subclass (other than the
Class A-R and Class A-LR Certificates) that evidences one Single Certificate
plus such additional principal portion as is required in order for all
Certificates of such Class or Subclass to equal the aggregate Original Class A
Subclass Principal Balance (or Original Class A-6 Notional Amount in the case of
the Class A-6 Certificates), Original Class M Principal Balance or the aggregate
Original Class B Subclass Principal Balance of such Class or Subclass, as the
case may be), and shall be substantially in the respective forms set forth as
Xxxxxxxx X0, X0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, A-PO, AR, A-LR, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0,

Certificates shall be executed and delivered by the Trustee to or upon the order
of the Seller upon receipt by the Trustee or the Custodian of the documents
specified in Section 2.01. The aggregate principal portion evidenced by the
Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates shall be the sum of the amounts
specifically set forth in the respective Certificates. The Certificates shall be
executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by any
Responsible Officer thereof. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the
Trustee shall bind the Trustee notwithstanding that such individuals or any of
them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery
of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless manually countersigned by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee, or unless there appears on such Certificate
a certificate of authentication executed by the Authenticating Agent by manual
signature, and such countersignature or certificate upon a Certificate shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date
of their authentication.
Until such time as Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section
5.07, each Book-Entry Certificate shall bear the following legend:
"Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of
[the Clearing Agency] to the Trustee or its agent for registration of transfer,
exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of
[the Clearing Agency] or such other name as requested by an authorized
representative of [the Clearing Agency] and any payment is made to [the Clearing
Agency], any transfer, pledge or other use hereof for value or otherwise by or
to any person is wrongful since the registered owner hereof, [the Clearing
Agency], has an interest herein."
(b) Upon original issuance, the Book-Entry Certificates shall be issued in
the form of one or more typewritten certificates, to be delivered to The
Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the
Seller. Such Certificates shall initially be registered in the Certificate
Register in the name of the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no
Beneficial Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such
Beneficial Owner's interest in the Book-Entry Certificates, except as provided
in Section 5.07. Unless and until definitive, fully registered certificates
("Definitive Certificates") have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to
Section 5.07:
(i) the provisions of this Section 5.01(b) shall be in full
force and effect;
(ii) the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Certificate
Registrar and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all
purposes (including the making of distributions on the Book-Entry
Certificates and the taking of actions by the Holders of Book-Entry
Certificates) as the authorized representative of the Beneficial
Owners;
(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.01(b)
conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of
this Section 5.01(b) shall control;
(iv) the rights of Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only
through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established
by law, the rules, regulations and procedures of the Clearing Agency
and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Clearing Agency
and/or the Clearing Agency Participants, and all references in this
Agreement to actions by Certificateholders shall, with respect to the
Book-Entry Certificates, refer to actions taken by the Clearing Agency
upon instructions from the Clearing Agency Participants, and all
references in this Agreement to distributions, notices, reports and
statements to Certificateholders shall, with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates, refer to distributions, notices, reports and statements
to the Clearing Agency or its nominee, as registered holder of the
Book-Entry Certificates, as the case may be, for distribution to
Beneficial Owners in accordance with the procedures of the Clearing
Agency; and
(v) the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry
transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and
transmit distributions of principal and interest on the Certificates to
the Clearing Agency Participants, for distribution by such Clearing
Agency Participants to the Beneficial Owners or their nominees.
For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting
actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Holders of Book-Entry
Certificates evidencing specified Voting Interests, such direction or consent
shall be given by Beneficial Owners having the requisite Voting Interests,
acting through the
Clearing Agency.
Unless and until Definitive Certificates have been issued to Beneficial
Owners pursuant to Section 5.07, copies of the reports or statements referred to
in Section 4.04 shall be available to Beneficial Owners upon written request to
the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office.
Section 5.02. Registration of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to
be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06 a Certificate
Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe,
the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers
and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall act as, or
shall appoint, a Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering
Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any
office or agency maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 5.06 (and
subject to the provisions of this Section 5.02) the Trustee shall execute, and
shall date, authenticate (or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate) and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Certificates of a like aggregate principal portion or Percentage Interest
and of the same Class or Subclass.
At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of authorized Denominations of a like aggregate principal
portion or Percentage Interest and of the same Class or Subclass upon surrender
of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, and
shall date, authenticate (or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate) and
deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or
exchange shall (if so required by the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee) be
duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof
or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of
Certificates, but the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled by
the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent in accordance
with their standard procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5 Certificate shall be
made unless the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and any applicable State securities laws are complied with, or such
transfer is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and laws.
In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from
said Act or laws, (i) unless such transfer is made in reliance on Rule 144A, the
Trustee or the Seller may, if such transfer is to be made within three years
after the later of (i) the date of the initial sale of Certificates or (ii) the
last date on which the Seller or any affiliate thereof was a Holder of the
Certificates proposed to be transferred, require a Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class
B-5 Certificateholder to deliver a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and
in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Seller, to the effect
that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the
applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being
made pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trustee, the Seller or the Master Servicer, and (ii) the Trustee
shall require the transferee to execute an investment letter in the form of
Exhibit J hereto certifying to the Seller and the Trustee the facts surrounding
such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee,
the Seller or the Master Servicer. The Holder of a Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class
B-5 Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree
to, indemnify the Trustee, the Seller, the Master Servicer and any Paying Agent
acting on behalf of the Trustee 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. Neither the Seller nor the Trustee is under an obligation to
register the Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5 Certificates under said Act or
any other securities law.
(c) No transfer of a Class M or Class B Certificate shall be made unless
the Trustee shall have received (i) a representation letter from the transferee
in the form of Exhibit J hereto, in the case of a Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class
B-5 Certificate, or in the form of Exhibit K hereto, in the case of a Class M,
Class B-1 or Class B-2 Certificate, to the effect that either (a) such
transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to the fiduciary
responsibility provisions of ERISA or Code Section 4975, or a governmental plan,
as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA, or subject to any federal, state or local
law ("Similar Law") which is to a material extent similar to the foregoing
provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, a "Plan") and is not a person
acting on behalf of or using the assets of any such Plan, which representation
letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Seller or the Master Servicer
or (b) if such transferee is an insurance company, the source of funds used to
purchase the Class M or Class B Certificate is an "insurance company general
account" (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTE 95-60"), 60 Fed. Reg. 35925 (July 12, 1995)) and
there is no Plan with respect to which the amount of such general account's
reserves and liabilities for the contract(s) held by or on behalf of such Plan
and all other Plans maintained by the same employer (or affiliate thereof as
defined in Section V(a)(1) of PTE 95-60) or by the same employee organization
exceeds 10% of the total of all reserves and liabilities of such general account
(as such amounts are determined under Section I(a) of PTE 95-60) at the date of
acquisition or (ii) in the case of any such Class M or Class B Certificate
presented for registration in the name of a Plan, or a trustee of any such Plan,
an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the Seller to the effect
that the purchase or holding of such Class M or Class B Certificate will not
result in the assets of the Trust Estate being deemed to be "plan assets" and
subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code or Similar
Law and will not subject the Trustee, the Seller or the Master Servicer to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Seller or the Master
Servicer. The Class M and Class B Certificates shall bear a legend referring to
the foregoing restrictions contained in this paragraph.
(d) No legal or beneficial interest in all or any portion of the Class A-R
or Class A-LR Certificate may be transferred directly or indirectly to a
"disqualified organization" within the meaning of Code Section 860E(e)(5) or an
agent of a disqualified organization (including a broker, nominee, or
middleman), to a Plan or a Person investing the assets of a Plan (such plan or
Person, an "ERISA Prohibited Holder") or to an individual, corporation,
partnership or other person unless such transferee (i) is not a Non-U.S. Person
or (ii) is a Non-U.S. Person that holds the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate
in connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States
and has furnished the transferor and the Trustee with an effective Internal
Revenue Service Form 4224 or (iii) is a Non-U.S. Person that has delivered to
both the transferor and the Trustee an opinion of a nationally recognized tax
counsel to the effect that the transfer of the Class A-R or Class A-LR
Certificate to it is in accordance with the requirements of the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder and that such transfer of the Class A-R or
Class A-LR Certificate will not be disregarded for federal income tax purposes
(any such person who is not covered by clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above being
referred to herein as a "Non-permitted Foreign Holder"), and any such purported
transfer shall be void and have no effect. The Trustee shall not execute, and
shall not authenticate (or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate) and
deliver, a new Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate in connection with any such
transfer to a disqualified organization or agent thereof (including a broker,
nominee or middleman), an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Non-permitted Foreign
Holder, and neither the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall accept a
surrender for transfer or registration of transfer, or register the transfer of,
the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate, unless the transferor shall have
provided to the Trustee an affidavit, substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit H hereto, signed by the transferee, to the effect that the transferee is
not such a disqualified organization, an agent (including a broker, nominee, or
middleman) for any entity as to which the transferee has not received a
substantially similar affidavit, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Non-permitted
Foreign Holder, which affidavit shall contain the consent of the transferee to
any such amendments of this Agreement as may be required to further effectuate
the foregoing restrictions on transfer of the Class A-R or Class A-LR
Certificate to disqualified organizations, ERISA Prohibited Holders or
Non-permitted Foreign Holders. Such affidavit shall also contain the statement
of the transferee that (i) the transferee has historically paid its debts as
they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (ii) the transferee
understands that it may incur liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by
the residual interest, (iii) the transferee intends to pay taxes associated with
holding the residual interest as they become due and (iv) the transferee will
not transfer the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate to any Person who does not
provide an affidavit substantially in the form attached as Exhibit H hereto.
The affidavit described in the preceding paragraph, if not executed in
connection with the initial issuance of the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate,
shall be accompanied by a written statement in the form attached as Exhibit I
hereto, signed by the transferor, to the effect that as of the time of the
transfer, the transferor has no actual knowledge that the transferee is a
disqualified organization, ERISA Prohibited Holder or Non-permitted Foreign
Holder, and has no knowledge or reason to know that the statements made by the
transferee with respect to clauses (i) and (iii) of the last sentence of the
preceding paragraph are not true. The Class A-R and Class A-LR Certificates
shall bear a legend referring to the foregoing restrictions contained in this
paragraph and the preceding paragraph.
Upon notice to the Master Servicer that any legal or beneficial interest in
any portion of the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate has been transferred,
directly or indirectly, to a disqualified organization or agent thereof
(including a broker, nominee, or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing
restrictions, (i) such transferee shall be deemed to hold the Class A-R or Class
A-LR Certificate in constructive trust for the last transferor who was not a
disqualified organization or agent thereof, and such transferor shall be
restored as the owner of such Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate as completely
as if such transfer had never occurred, provided that the Master Servicer may,
but is not required to, recover any distributions made to such transferee with
respect to Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate, and (ii) the Master Servicer
agrees to furnish to the Internal Revenue Service and to any transferor of the
Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate or such agent (within 60 days of the request
therefor by the transferor or agent) such information necessary to the
application of Code Section 860E(e) as may be required by the Code, including
but not limited to the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions
with respect to the Class A-R or Class A-LR Certificate (or portion thereof) for
periods after such transfer. At the election of the Master Servicer, the cost to
the Master Servicer of computing and furnishing such information may be charged
to the transferor or such agent referred to above; however, the Master Servicer
shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.
Section 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent, or the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee or the Authenticating
Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or the Authenticating
Agent that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the
Trustee shall execute and authenticate (or cause the Authenticating Agent to
authenticate) and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and
principal portion or Percentage Interest and of the same Class or Subclass. Upon
the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar 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 expense (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent) in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of
ownership in the Trust Estate, 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.
Prior to the due presentation of a Certificate for registration of
transfer, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is
registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
distributions pursuant to Section 4.01, and for all other purposes whatsoever,
and neither the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar nor any agent of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 5.05. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses.
(a) If the Trustee is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the Certificate
Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, within 15 days
after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request by the Trustee in
writing, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the
names and addresses of the Certificateholders of each Class or Subclass as of
the most recent Record Date.
(b) If five or more Certificateholders (hereinafter referred to as
"applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee, and such application states that
the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect
to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and is
accompanied by a copy of the communication which such applicants propose to
transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days following the
receipt of such application, afford such applicants access during normal
business hours to the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the
Trustee. If such a list is as of the date more than 90 days prior to the date of
receipt of such applicants' request and the Trustee is not the Certificate
Registrar, the Trustee shall promptly request from the Certificate Registrar a
current list as provided in paragraph (a) hereof, and shall afford such
applicants access to such list promptly upon receipt.
(c) Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees
with the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee
that neither the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar nor the
Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such
information as to the names, addresses and Percentage Interests of the
Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was delivered.
Section 5.06. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will maintain, at its expense, an office or agency where
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and
where notices and demands to or upon the Certificate Registrar in respect of the
Certificates and this Agreement may be served. The Trustee initially designates
the Corporate Trust Office and the principal corporate trust office of the
Authenticating Agent, if any, as its offices and agencies for said purposes.
Section 5.07. Definitive Certificates.
If (i)(A) the Master Servicer advises the Trustee in writing that the
Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able properly to discharge its
responsibilities as depository with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and
(B) the Master Servicer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the
Master Servicer, at its option, advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to
terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the
occurrence of dismissal or resignation of the Master Servicer, Beneficial Owners
representing aggregate Voting Interests of not less than 51% of the aggregate
Voting Interests of each outstanding Subclass of Book-Entry Certificates advise
the Trustee through the Clearing Agency and Clearing Agency Participants in
writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency
is no longer in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners, the Trustee shall
notify the Beneficial Owners, through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of
any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Beneficial
Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee by the Clearing Agency
of the Certificates held of record by its nominee, accompanied by reregistration
instructions and directions to execute and authenticate new Certificates from
the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall execute and authenticate Definitive
Certificates for delivery at its Corporate Trust Office. The Master Servicer
shall arrange for, and will bear all costs of, the printing and issuance of such
Definitive Certificates. Neither the Seller, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions by the Clearing
Agency and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions.
Section 5.08. Notices to Clearing Agency.
Whenever notice or other communication to the Holders of Book-Entry
Certificates is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive
Certificates shall have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section
5.07, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified
herein to be given to Holders of Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency.
ARTICLE VI
THE SELLER AND THE MASTER SERVICER
Section 6.01. Liability of the Seller and the Master Servicer.
The Seller and the Master Servicer shall each be liable in accordance
herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this
Agreement and undertaken hereunder by the Seller and the Master Servicer.
Section 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Seller or the
Master Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Seller and the Master Servicer each
will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and will obtain and
preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each
jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the
validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the
Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
The Seller or the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or
into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any
Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Seller or Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding
to the business of the Seller or Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the
Seller or Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that, in the case of
the Master Servicer, any such successor or resulting Person shall be qualified
to service mortgage loans for FNMA or FHLMC.
Section 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Seller, the Master
Servicer and Others.
Neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer nor any subcontractor nor any of
the partners, directors, officers, employees or agents of any of them shall be
under any liability to the Trust Estate or the Certificateholders and all such
Persons shall be held harmless for any action taken or for refraining from the
taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in
judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect any such
Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Seller,
the Master Servicer, any subcontractor, and any partner, director, officer,
employee or agent of any of them shall be entitled to indemnification by the
Trust Estate and will be held harmless against any loss, liability or expense
incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the
Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of his or
its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of his or its
obligations and duties hereunder. The Seller, the Master Servicer and any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of either may rely in good faith on any
document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by
any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. Neither the Seller nor the
Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under
this Agreement and which in its opinion does not involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that the Seller or the Master Servicer may in its
discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable
with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto
and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder if the Certificateholders
offer to the Seller or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby. 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 Estate, and the Seller or the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Certificate Account, and such
amounts shall, on the following Distribution Date or Distribution Dates, be
allocated in reduction of distributions on the Class A, Class M and Class B
Certificates in the same manner as Realized Losses are allocated pursuant to
Section 4.02(a).
Section 6.04. Resignation of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of
applicable law with any other activities carried on by it. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No
such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor
servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties,
liabilities and obligations hereunder.
Section 6.05. Compensation to the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive a monthly fee equal to the
Master Servicing Fee, as compensation for services rendered by the Master
Servicer under this Agreement. The Master Servicer also will be entitled to any
late reporting fees paid by a Servicer pursuant to its Servicing Agreement and
any investment income on funds on deposit in the Certificate Account as
additional compensation.
Section 6.06. Assignment or Delegation of Duties by Master
Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights,
benefits or privileges under this Agreement to any other Person, or delegate to
or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of
the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Master Servicer
without the prior written consent of the Trustee, and any agreement, instrument
or act purporting to effect any such assignment, transfer, delegation or
appointment shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer
shall have the right without the prior written consent of the Trustee (i) to
assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations hereunder; provided,
however, that (a) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment or
delegation is qualified to service mortgage loans for FNMA or FHLMC, is
satisfactory to the Trustee, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, and
executes and delivers to the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such
purchaser or transferee of the due and punctual performance and observance of
each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Master Servicer
hereunder from and after the date of such agreement; and (b) each applicable
Rating Agency's rating of any Certificates in effect immediately prior to such
assignment, sale or transfer is not reasonably likely to be qualified,
downgraded or withdrawn as a result of such assignment, sale or transfer and the
Certificates are not reasonably likely to be placed on credit review status by
any such Rating Agency; and (ii) to delegate to, subcontract with, authorize, or
appoint an affiliate of the Master Servicer to perform and carry out any duties,
covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by the Master Servicer
under this Agreement and hereby agrees so to delegate, subcontract, authorize or
appoint to an affiliate of the Master Servicer any duties, covenants or
obligations to be performed and carried out by the Master Servicer to the extent
that such duties, covenants or obligations are to be performed in any state or
states in which the Master Servicer is not authorized to do business as a
foreign corporation but in which the affiliate is so authorized. In no case,
however, shall any permitted assignment and delegation relieve the Master
Servicer of any liability to the Trustee or the Seller under this Agreement,
incurred by it prior to the time that the conditions contained in clause (i)
above are met.
Section 6.07. Indemnification of Trustee and Seller by Master
Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the
Seller and any director, officer or agent thereof against any loss, liability or
expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of, in connection
with or incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in
the performance of duties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or by
reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
Any payment pursuant to this Section made by the Master Servicer to the Trustee
or the Seller shall be from such entity's own funds, without reimbursement
therefor. The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
Section 7.01. Events of Default.
In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Master
Servicer shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:
(i) any failure by the Master Servicer (a) to remit any funds
to the Paying Agent as required by Section 4.03 or (b) to distribute or
cause to be distributed to Certificateholders any payment required to
be made by the Master Servicer under the terms of this Agreement which,
in either case, continues unremedied for a period of three business
days after the date upon which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master
Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by
the holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than
25% of the aggregate Voting Interest represented by all Certificates;
or
(ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to
observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants
or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer in the Certificates or
in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of 60 days
after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the
same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by
the Trustee, or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the holders
of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 25% of the
aggregate Voting Interest represented by all Certificates; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a
trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy,
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities
or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its
affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such
decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged and unstayed
for a period of 60 days; or
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator or liquidating committee
in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of
assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation or similar proceedings of
or relating to the Master Servicer, or of or relating to all or
substantially all of its property; or
(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability
to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
advantage of any applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization
statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or
voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;
(vi) the Master Servicer shall be dissolved, or shall dispose
of all or substantially all of its assets; or consolidate with or merge
into another entity or shall permit another entity to consolidate or
merge into it, such that the resulting entity does not meet the
criteria for a successor servicer, as specified in Section 6.02 hereof;
or
(vii) the Master Servicer and any subservicer appointed by it
becomes ineligible to service for both FNMA and FHMLC, which
ineligibility continues unremedied for a period of 90 days.
then, and in each and every such case, subject to applicable law, so long as an
Event of Default shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee or the holders
of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66 2/3% of the
aggregate Voting Interest represented by all Certificates, by notice in writing
to the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the Certificateholders)
may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under
this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans, but without prejudice to any
rights which the Master Servicer may have to the aggregate Master Servicing Fees
due prior to the date of transfer of the Master Servicer's responsibilities
hereunder, reimbursement of expenses to the extent permitted by this Agreement,
Periodic Advances and other advances of its own funds. Upon receipt by the
Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the
Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant
to and under this Section, subject to the provisions of Section 7.05; and,
without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Master 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 Mortgage Loans and related documents or otherwise. The Master Servicer
agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide the
Trustee all documents and records reasonably requested by it to enable it to
assume the Master Servicer's functions hereunder and shall promptly also
transfer to the Trustee all amounts which then have been or should have been
deposited in the Certificate Account by the Master Servicer or which are
thereafter received by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Section 7.02. Other Remedies of Trustee.
During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights
specified in Section 7.01, shall have the right, in its own name as trustee of
an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in
equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the
interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders
(including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and
other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy
provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each
and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no
delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or
remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.
Section 7.03. Directions by Certificateholders and
Duties of Trustee During Event of Default.
During the continuance of any Event of Default, Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Interest
represented by all Certificates may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such
remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this
agreement (including, without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any
administrative action or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the
terminating of the Master Servicer from its rights and duties as servicer
hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the cost, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby and, provided further, that, subject to the
provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to
follow any such direction if the Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of
Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully
be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or
proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly
prejudicial to the nonassenting Certificateholders.
Section 7.04. Action upon Certain Failures of the
Master Servicer and upon Event of Default.
In the event that the Trustee shall have knowledge of any failure of the
Master Servicer specified in Section 7.01(i) or (ii) which would become an Event
of Default upon the Master Servicer's failure to remedy the same after notice,
the Trustee may, but need not if the Trustee deems it not in the
Certificateholders' best interest, give notice thereof to the Master Servicer.
For all purposes of this Agreement, in the absence of actual knowledge by a
corporate trust officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any failure of the Master Servicer as specified in Section 7.01(i)
and (ii) or any Event of Default unless notified thereof in writing by the
Master Servicer or by a Certificateholder.
Section 7.05. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
When the Master Servicer receives notice of termination pursuant to Section
7.01 or the Trustee receives the resignation of the Master Servicer evidenced by
an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 6.04, the Trustee shall be the
successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as master
servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein and shall have the rights and powers and be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master
Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and in its capacity as such
successor shall have the same limitation of liability herein granted to the
Master Servicer. In the event that the Trustee is succeeding to the Master
Servicer as the Master Servicer, as compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive monthly such portion of the Master Servicing Fee, together
with such other servicing compensation as is agreed to at such time by the
Trustee and the Master Servicer, but in no event more than 25% thereof until the
date of final cessation of the Master Servicer's servicing activities hereunder.
Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act,
or shall, if it is unable to so act or to obtain a qualifying bid as described
below, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
housing and home finance institution, bank or mortgage servicing institution
having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 and meeting such other standards
for a successor servicer as are set forth herein, as the successor to the Master
Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities,
duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that
until such a successor master servicer is appointed and has assumed the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the
Trustee shall continue as the successor to the Master Servicer as provided
above. The compensation of any successor master servicer so appointed shall not
exceed the compensation specified in Section 6.05 hereof. In the event the
Trustee is required to solicit bids as provided above, the Trustee shall
solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing and home finance
institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the
qualifications set forth in the preceding sentence for the purchase of the
master servicing functions. Such public announcement shall specify that the
successor master servicer shall be entitled to the full amount of the Master
Servicing Fee as compensation together with the other servicing compensation in
the form of late reporting fees or otherwise as provided in Section 6.05. Within
30 days after any such public announcement, the Trustee shall negotiate and
effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the master servicing rights and
responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest
qualifying bid. The Trustee shall deduct all costs and expenses of any public
announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights
and responsibilities hereunder from any sum received by the Trustee from the
successor to the Master Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and
assignment. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by
the Trustee to the Master Servicer at the time of such sale, transfer and
assignment to the Master Servicer's successor. The Trustee and such successor
shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the
Trustee and any successor servicer in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer's servicing responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly
provide the Trustee or such successor master servicer, as applicable, all
documents and records reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the
Master Servicer's function hereunder and shall promptly also transfer to the
Trustee or such successor master servicer, as applicable, all amounts which then
have been or should have been deposited in the Certificate Account by the Master
Servicer or which are thereafter received by the Master Servicer with respect to
the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer
shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or
any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by
(i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering,
cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory
authority having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in Section 7.01 above or this Section 7.05, the Master
Servicer shall retain all of its rights and responsibilities hereunder, and no
successor (including the Trustee) shall succeed thereto, if the assumption
thereof by such successor would cause the rating assigned to any Certificates to
be revoked, downgraded or placed on credit review status (other than for
possible upgrading) by either Rating Agency and the retention thereof by the
Master Servicer would avert such revocation, downgrading or review.
Section 7.06. Notification to Certificateholders.
Upon any termination of the Master Servicer or appointment of a successor
master servicer, in each case as provided herein, the Trustee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses
appearing in the Certificate Register. The Trustee shall also, within 45 days
after the occurrence of any Event of Default known to the Trustee, give written
notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in
the Certificate Register, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or
waived within said 45 day period.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform
such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured),
the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.03, 7.04 and 7.05,
shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and
use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent investor
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such investor's
own affairs.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they are in
the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall
not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any certificate, statement,
instrument, report, notice or other document furnished by the Servicers pursuant
to Articles III, IV and IX.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after
the curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the
duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable
except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and,
in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect
to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in accordance with the direction of holders of Certificates which
evidence in the aggregate not less than 25% of the Voting Interest
represented by all 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; and
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment
made in good faith by any of its Responsible Officers, unless it shall
be proved that the Trustee or such Responsible Officer was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts.
None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require the
Trustee or to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it.
Section 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate,

be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, appraisal, bond, Mortgage, Mortgage Note or other paper
or document (provided the same appears regular on its face), unless requested in
writing to do so by holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less
than 51% of the Voting Interest represented by all Certificates; provided,
however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the
costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the
Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the
Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a
condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such investigation
shall be paid by the Master Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid
by the Master Servicer upon demand.
Section 8.04. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage
Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
certificate of authentication on the Certificates) shall be taken as the
statements of the Seller, and Trustee assumes no responsibility as to the
correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representation for the correctness
of the same. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or
related document. Subject to Section 2.04, the Trustee shall not be accountable
for the use or application by the Seller of any of the Certificates or of the
proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid

investment of any such amounts.

The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to each of the Trustee from

compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to
the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by
it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and
performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee and the
Master Servicer will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it in
accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of
all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement,
or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith.
Section 8.07. Eligibility Requirements.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times (i) be a corporation or
association having its principal office in a state and city acceptable to the
Seller, organized and doing business under the laws of such state or the United
States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, or shall
be a member of a bank holding system, the aggregate combined capital and surplus
of which is at least $50,000,000, provided that its separate capital and surplus

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 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, such entity shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect specified in Section 8.08.
Section 8.08. Resignation and Removal.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby
created by giving written notice of resignation to the Master Servicer, such
resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor trustee. Upon
receiving such notice of resignation, the Master Servicer shall promptly appoint
a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning entity and one copy to its
successor. If no successor trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of Section 8.07 and shall fail to resign after written request
for its resignation by the Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or an order for relief shall have been entered in
any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding with respect to such entity, or a
receiver of such entity or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of the property or
affairs of the Trustee for the purpose of rehabilitation, conversion or
liquidation, or the Master Servicer shall deem it necessary in order to change
the situs of the Trust Estate for state tax reasons, then the Master Servicer
shall remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument,
in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed and one copy to the successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51%
of the Voting Interests represented by all Certificates (except that any
Certificate registered in the name of the Seller, the Master Servicer or any
affiliate thereof will not be taken into account in determining whether the
requisite Voting Interests has been obtained) may at any time remove the Trustee
and appoint a successor by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate,
signed by such holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete
set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, one complete
set of which shall be delivered to the entity or entities so removed and one
complete set of which shall be delivered to the successor so appointed.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon
acceptance of appointment by the successor as provided in Section 8.09.
Section 8.09. Successor.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.08 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Master Servicer and to its predecessor trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation
or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective, and such
successor, without any further act, deed or reconveyance, shall become fully
vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The
predecessor trustee shall deliver to its successor all Owner Mortgage Loan Files
and related documents and statements held by it hereunder (other than any Owner
Mortgage Loan Files at the time held by a Custodian, which Custodian shall
become the agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and the Seller, the Master
Servicer and the predecessor entity 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 shall accept appointment as
provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.07
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor as provided in this Section,
the Master Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the
Certificate Register. If the Master Servicer fails to mail such notice within
ten days after acceptance of the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall
cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Master Servicer.
Section 8.10. Merger or Consolidation.
Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, to which it may sell or transfer its corporate trust
business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole or any Person
resulting from any merger, sale, transfer, conversion or consolidation to which
the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of such
entity, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided, however, that
(i) such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.07, 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, and (ii)
the Trustee shall deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Seller and the Master
Servicer to the effect that such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer will
not subject either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to federal,
state or local tax or cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC, which Opinion of Counsel shall be at the sole
expense of the Trustee.
Section 8.11. Authenticating Agent.
The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent, which shall be authorized
to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating Certificates. Wherever
reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the
Trustee or the Trustee's countersignature, such reference shall be deemed to
include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by the Authenticating Agent and
a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by the
Authenticating Agent. The Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Seller
and the Master Servicer and must be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having a
principal office and place of business in a state and city acceptable to the
Seller and the Master Servicer, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.
Any corporation into which the Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business
of the Authenticating Agent, shall be the Authenticating Agent without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee
or the Authenticating Agent.
The Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days'
advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Seller and the Master
Servicer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of the Authenticating
Agent by giving written notice thereof to the Authenticating Agent, the Seller
and the Master Servicer. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a
termination, or in case at any time the Authenticating Agent shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.11, the Trustee
promptly shall appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, which shall be
acceptable to the Master Servicer, and shall give written notice of such
appointment to the Seller, and shall mail notice of such appointment to all
Certificateholders. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties
and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating
Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section
8.11.
The Authenticating Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any
action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Any reasonable
compensation paid to the Authenticating Agent shall be a reimbursable expense
under Section 8.06.
Section 8.12. Separate Trustees and Co-Trustees.
The Trustee shall have the power from time to time to appoint one or more
persons or corporations to act either as co-trustees jointly with the Trustee,
or as separate trustees, for the purpose of holding title to, foreclosing or
otherwise taking action with respect to any Mortgage Loan outside the state
where the Trustee has its principal place of business, where such separate
trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable (or the Trustee is advised by
the Master Servicer that such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or
advisable) under the laws of any state in which a Mortgaged Property is located
or for the purpose of otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction
or condition in any state in which a Mortgaged Property is located or in any
state in which any portion of the Trust Estate is located. The Master Servicer
shall advise the Trustee when, in its good faith opinion, a separate trustee or
co-trustee is necessary or advisable as aforesaid. The separate trustees or
co-trustees so appointed shall be trustees for the benefit of all of the
Certificateholders and shall have such powers, rights and remedies as shall be
specified in the instrument of appointment; provided, however, that no such
appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of
the Trustee. The Seller and the Master Servicer shall join in any such
appointment, but such joining shall not be necessary for the effectiveness of
such appointment.
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) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon
the Trustee, in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys
shall be exercised solely by the Trustee;
(ii) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed
upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate
trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law
of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be
performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master
Servicer hereunder) the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties
and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or
any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee;
(iii) no separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder shall be
personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other
separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder; and
(iv) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee or co-trustee so appointed by it, if such
resignation or removal does not violate the other terms of this
Agreement.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed
to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as
effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian shall refer to this Agreement and the
conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its
acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property
specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee, or
separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this
Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to
the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the
Trustee. Every such instrument shall be furnished to the Trustee.
Any separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian 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.
No separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the
terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.07 hereunder and no
notice to Certificateholders of the appointment thereof shall be required under
Section 8.09 hereof.
The Trustee agrees to instruct its co-trustees, if any, to the extent
necessary to fulfill such entity's obligations hereunder.
The Master Servicer shall pay the reasonable compensation of the
co-trustees to the extent, and in accordance with the standards, specified in
Section 8.06 hereof.
Section 8.13. Appointment of Custodians.
The Trustee may at any time on or after the Closing Date, with the consent
of the Master Servicer and the Seller, appoint one or more Custodians to hold
all or a portion of the Owner Mortgage Loan Files as agent for the Trustee, by
entering into a Custodial Agreement. Subject to this Article VIII, the Trustee
agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and to enforce the
terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to
supervision by federal or state authority, shall have a combined capital and
surplus of at least $10,000,000 and shall be qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction in which it holds any Owner Mortgage Loan File. Each Custodial
Agreement may be amended only as provided in Section 10.01(a).
Section 8.14. Tax Matters; Compliance with REMIC Provisions.
(a) Each of the Trustee and the Master Servicer covenants and agrees that
it shall perform its duties hereunder in a manner consistent with the REMIC
Provisions and shall not knowingly take any action or fail to take any action
that would (i) affect the determination of the Trust Estate's status as two
separate REMICs; or (ii) cause the imposition of any federal, state or local
income, prohibited transaction, contribution or other tax on either the
Upper-Tier REMIC, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Trust Estate. The Master Servicer,
or, in the case of the execution of any action required by law to be performed
directly by the Trustee, the Trustee, shall (i) prepare or cause to be prepared,
timely cause to be signed by the Trustee and file or cause to be filed annual
federal and applicable state and local income tax returns for each of the
Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC using a calendar year as the taxable
year and the accrual method of accounting; (ii) in the first such federal tax
returns, make, or cause to be made, elections satisfying the requirements of the
REMIC Provisions, on behalf of the Trust Estate, to treat each of the Upper-Tier
REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC; (iii) prepare, execute and forward,
or cause to be prepared, executed and forwarded, to the Certificateholders all
information reports or tax returns required with respect to the Trust Estate, as
and when required to be provided to the Certificateholders, and to the Internal
Revenue Service and any other relevant governmental taxing authority in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions and any other applicable federal, state or
local laws, including without limitation information reports relating to
"original issue discount" and "market discount" as defined in the Code based
upon the issue prices, prepayment assumption and cash flows provided by the
Seller to the Trustee and calculated on a monthly basis by using the issue price
of the Certificates; (iv) make available information necessary for the
application of any tax imposed on transferors of residual interests to
"disqualified organizations" (as defined in the REMIC Provisions); (v) file
Forms SS-4 and 8811 and respond to inquiries by Certificateholders or their
nominees concerning information returns, reports or tax returns; (vi) maintain
(or cause to be maintained by the Servicers) such records relating to the
Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, including but not limited to the
income, expenses, individual Mortgage Loans (including REO Mortgage Loans, other
assets and liabilities of each REMIC, and the fair market value and adjusted
basis of the property of each REMIC determined at such intervals as may be
required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns or
information reports; (vii) exercise reasonable care not to allow the creation of
any "interests" in either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC within
the meaning of Code Section 860D(a)(2) other than the interests in the
Upper-Tier REMIC represented by the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4,
Class A-5, Class A-6, Class A-7, Class A-PO and Class A-R Certificates, the
Class M Certificates and the Class Bl, Class B2, Class B3, Class B-4 and Class
B-5 Certificates and the interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC represented by the
Class A-L1, Class A-L3, Class A-L5, Class A-L7, Class APL, Class A-LUR, Class
B-L1, Class B-L2, Class B-L3, Class B-L4, Class B-L5 and Class M-L Interests and
the Class A-LR Certificate; (viii) exercise reasonable care not to allow the
occurrence of any "prohibited transactions" within the meaning of Code Section
860F(a), unless the Master Servicer shall have provided an Opinion of Counsel to
the Trustee that such occurrence would not (a) result in a taxable gain, (b)
otherwise subject either the Upper-Tier REMIC or Lower-Tier REMIC or the Trust
Estate to tax or (c) cause the Trust Estate to fail to qualify as two separate
REMICs; (ix) exercise reasonable care not to allow either the Upper-Tier REMIC
or the Lower-Tier REMIC to receive income from the performance of services or
from assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by a REMIC; (x)
pay (on behalf of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC) the amount of
any federal income tax, including, without limitation, prohibited transaction
taxes, taxes on net income from foreclosure property, and taxes on certain
contributions to a REMIC after the Startup Day, imposed on the Upper-Tier REMIC
or Lower-Tier REMIC, as the case may be, when and as the same shall be due and
payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Master Servicer or any other
appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and
shall not prevent the Master Servicer from withholding or depositing payment of
such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); and
(xi) if required or permitted by the Code and applicable law, act as "tax
matters person" for the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F4(d), and the Master Servicer is
hereby designated as agent of the Class AR and Class A-LR Certificateholders for
such purpose (or if the Master Servicer is not so permitted, the Holders of the
Class AR and Class A-LR Certificates shall be tax matters persons in accordance
with the REMIC Provisions). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed pursuant to Section 3.02 for any taxes paid by it pursuant to clause
(x) of the preceding sentence, except to the extent that such taxes are imposed
as a result of the bad faith, willful misfeasance or gross negligence of the
Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder. The Trustee
shall sign the tax returns referred to in clause (i) of the second preceding
sentence.
In order to enable the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be,
to perform its duties as set forth above, the Seller shall provide, or cause to
be provided, to the Master Servicer within ten days after the Closing Date all
information or data that the Master Servicer 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 each Class and Subclass of Certificates and the Mortgage Loans in the
aggregate. Thereafter, the Seller shall provide to the Master Servicer or the
Trustee, as the case may be, promptly upon request therefor, any such additional
information or data that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be,
may from time to time, request in order to enable the Master Servicer to perform
its duties as set forth above. The Seller hereby indemnifies the Master Servicer
and the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the
Master Servicer or the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations by the
Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to this Section that result from any
failure of the Seller to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate
information or data to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be,
on a timely basis. The Master Servicer hereby indemnifies the Seller and the
Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Seller
or the Trustee arising from the Master Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith
or gross negligence in preparing any of the federal, state and local tax returns
of the REMIC as described above. In the event that the Trustee prepares any of
the federal, state and local tax returns of the REMIC as described above, the
Trustee hereby indemnifies the Seller and the Master Servicer for any losses,
liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Seller or the Master Servicer
arising from the Trustee's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in
connection with such preparation.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the
Master Servicer and the Trustee shall pay from its own funds, without any right
of reimbursement therefor, the amount of any costs, liabilities and expenses
incurred by the Trust Estate (including, without limitation, any and all
federal, state or local taxes, including taxes imposed on "prohibited
transactions" within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions) if and to the extent
that such costs, liabilities and expenses arise from a failure of the Master
Servicer or the Trustee to perform its obligations under this Section 8.14.
Section 8.15. Monthly Advances.
In the event that Norwest Mortgage fails to make a Periodic Advance
required to be made pursuant to the Norwest Servicing Agreement on or before the
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make a Periodic Advance as required by
Section 3.03 hereof; provided, however, the Trustee shall not be required to
make such Periodic Advances if prohibited by law or if it determines that such
Periodic Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. With respect to those
Periodic Advances which should have been made by Norwest Mortgage, the Trustee
shall be entitled, pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(i), (ii) or (v) hereof, to be
reimbursed from the Certificate Account for Periodic Advances and Nonrecoverable
Advances made by it.

the Master Servicer is obligated to give notice to Certificateholders as
aforesaid, it shall give such notice to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event
such notice is given by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deposit
in the Certificate Account on or before the Final Distribution Date in
immediately available funds an amount equal to the purchase price for the assets
of the Trust Estate computed as above provided. Failure to give notice of
termination as described herein shall not entitle a Certificateholder to any
interest beyond the interest payable on the Final Distribution Date.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall
cause to be distributed to Certificateholders on the Final Distribution Date in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests an amount equal to (i) as to
the Subclasses of Class A Certificates, the respective Class A Subclass
Principal Balance together with any related Class A Subclass Unpaid Interest
Shortfall and one month's interest in an amount equal to the respective Class A
Subclass Interest Accrual Amount, (ii) as to the Class M Certificates, the Class
M Principal Balance together with any related Class M Unpaid Interest Shortfall
and one month's interest at the Class M Pass-Through Rate on the Class M
Principal Balance, (iii) as to the Subclasses of Class B Certificates, the
respective Class B Subclass Principal Balance together with any related Class B
Subclass Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest in an amount equal
to the respective Class B Subclass Interest Accrual Amount and (iv) as to the
Class A-R and Class A-LR Certificates, the amounts, if any, which remain on
deposit in the Upper-Tier Certificate Account and the Certificate Account,
respectively (other than amounts retained to meet claims) after application
pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above and payment to the Master Servicer
of any amounts it is entitled as reimbursement or otherwise hereunder. Such
amount shall be distributed in respect of interest and principal in respect of
the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests in the same amounts as distributed to
their Corresponding Upper-Tier Class or Classes in the manner specified in
Section 4.01(a)(ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the price paid pursuant
to clause (i) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01, after reimbursement
to the Servicers, the Master Servicer and the Trustee of any Periodic Advances,
is insufficient to pay in full the amounts set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) of this paragraph, then any shortfall in the amount available for
distribution to Certificateholders shall be allocated in reduction of the
amounts otherwise distributable on the Final Distribution Date in the same
manner as Realized Losses are allocated pursuant to Sections 4.02(b) and 4.02(g)
hereof. Such distribution on the Final Distribution Date shall be in lieu of the
distribution otherwise required to be made on such Distribution Date in respect
of each Class of Certificates.
In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their
Certificates for final payment and cancellation within three months following
the Final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall on such date cause all funds, if
any, in the Certificate Account not distributed in final distribution to
Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining
Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the
benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Master Servicer (if it exercised its
right to purchase the assets of the Trust Estate) or the Trustee (in any other
case) shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to
surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution
with respect thereto. If within three months after the second notice all the
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee 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 on deposit in
such escrow account.
Section 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
In the event of a termination of the Trust Estate upon the exercise by the
Seller of its purchase option as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Estate
shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements,
unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any
other manner of termination (i) will constitute a "qualified liquidation" of the
Trust Estate within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a)(4)(A) and (ii) will not
subject either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to federal tax or
cause the Trust Estate to fail to qualify as two separate REMICs at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding:
(i) The notice given by the Master Servicer under Section
9.01 shall provide that such notice constitutes the adoption of a plan
of complete liquidation of the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC as
of the date of such notice (or, if earlier, the date on which the first
such notice is mailed to Certificateholders). The Master Servicer shall
also specify such date in a statement attached to the final tax returns
of the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC; and
(ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of
complete liquidation and at or prior to the Final Distribution Date,
the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Estate to the
Seller for cash at the purchase price specified in Section 9.01 and
shall distribute such cash within 90 days of such adoption in the
manner specified in Section 9.01.

correct or supplement any provisions herein or therein which may be inconsistent
with any other provisions herein or therein, (iii) to modify, eliminate or add

Certificates are outstanding or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition
of any federal tax on the Trust Estate, the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier
REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against the Trust Estate,
provided that (a) the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to
avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action
shall not, as evidenced by such Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, (iv) to change the

then-current rating of the Certificates as evidenced by a letter from each
Rating Agency to such effect, (v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions
of Section 5.02 or any other provisions hereof restricting transfer of the

risk that either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or any of the
Certificateholders will be subject to a tax caused by a transfer to a
non-permitted transferee and (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising under this Agreement or such Custodial Agreement
which shall not be materially inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement, provided that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder.
This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to
time by the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the

thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or such Custodial Agreement

Class or Subclass; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in
any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on Mortgage
Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without the
consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material
respect the interest of the Holders of Certificates of any Class or Subclass in
a manner other than as described in clause (i) hereof without the consent of
Holders of Certificates of such Class or Subclass evidencing, as to such Class
or Subclass, Voting Interests aggregating not less than 66-2/3% or (iii) reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class or Subclass the Holders of
which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the

not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment will not
subject either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to tax or cause
either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment requiring the consent of
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the
substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this
Section 10.01(a) 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.
(b) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer may, from time to time, amend Schedule I hereto without the consent of
any Certificateholder or the Trustee; provided, however, (i) that such amendment
does not conflict with any provisions of the related Servicing Agreement, (ii)
that the related Servicing Agreement provides for the remittance of each type of
Unscheduled Principal Receipts received by such Servicer during the Applicable
Unscheduled Principal Receipt Period (as so amended) related to each
Distribution Date to the Master Servicer no later than the 24th day of the month
in which such Distribution Date occurs and (iii) that such amendment is for the
purpose of:
(a) changing the Applicable Unscheduled Principal Receipt Period
for Exhibit F-1 Mortgage Loans to a Mid-Month Receipt Period
with respect to all Unscheduled Principal Receipts; or
(b) changing the Applicable Unscheduled Principal Receipt Period
for all Mortgage Loans serviced by any Servicer to a
Mid-Month Receipt Period with respect to Full Unscheduled

for real property records in all the towns or other comparable jurisdictions in

Trust Estate, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of
the parties hereto or any of them.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Certificateholder, solely
by virtue of its status as a Certificateholder, shall have any right to vote or
in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust
Estate, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set

constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an
association, nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third
person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant

have made written request upon 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 cost, 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 of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to
obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder,
or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein
provided and for the benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder
and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law
or in equity.

have granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the

trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of
which is set forth hereinafter. To the extent not defined herein, the
capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of
this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such
Holder is bound.
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 above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month
preceding the month of such distribution, in an amount equal to the product of
the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the Class A Subclass
Distribution Amount for the Class A-6 Certificates required to be distributed to
Holders of Class A-6 Certificates on such Distribution Date, subject to
adjustment in certain events as specified in the Agreement. The Class A-6
Certificates are not entitled to receive distributions of principal. The
pass-through rate on the Class A-6 Certificates applicable to each Distribution
Date will be a floating rate of interest determined as provided herein and as
specified in the Agreement. Interest on this Certificate will accrue with
respect to each Distribution Date during the period commencing on the 25th day
of the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and
ending on the 24th day of the month in which such Distribution Date occurs (each
a "LIBOR Based Interest Accrual Period"). The pass-through rate applicable with
respect to the initial LIBOR Based Interest Accrual Period will be 4.175% per
annum. Thereafter, with respect to each LIBOR Based Interest Accrual Period, the
pass-through rate will be a per annum rate equal to 9.55% minus LIBOR, as
determined on the second business day preceding the commencement of such LIBOR
Based Interest Accrual Period, subject to a minimum rate of 0.00% and a maximum
rate of 9.55%. The amount of interest which accrues on this Certificate in any
month will be subject to reduction with respect to any Non-Supported Interest
Shortfall and the interest portion of certain Realized Losses allocated to the
Class A-6 Certificates, as described in the Agreement.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made on behalf of the Trustee
either by the Master Servicer or by a Paying Agent appointed by the Master
Servicer by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such
name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register, unless such Person is
entitled to receive payments by wire transfer in immediately available funds in
accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and such Person has notified
the Master Servicer pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that such
payments are to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be
made after due notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon
presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency specified
by the Trustee for that purpose in the notice of final distribution.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set
forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
This Certificate is issued on November 26, 1996, at an issue price of
7.29285% of the initial Class A-6 Notional Amount, including accrued interest,
and a stated redemption price at maturity equal to all interest distributions
hereon, and is issued with original issue discount ("OID") for federal income
tax purposes. Assuming (a) that this Certificate pays in accordance with
projected cash flows reflecting the prepayment assumption of 350% SPA (as
defined in the Prospectus Supplement dated November 18, 1996 with respect to the

A-6, Class A-7, Class A-PO, Class A-R, Class A-LR, Class M, Class B-1 and Class
B-2 Certificates) used to price this Certificate and (b) that the interest rate
at which distributions of interest on this Certificate actually will be made
will be determined as though the pass-through rate on this Certificate
applicable to the first Distribution Date will not change thereafter: (i) the
amount of OID as a percentage of the initial Class A-6 Notional Amount is
approximately 10.66828573%; (ii) the annual yield to maturity of this
Certificate, compounded monthly, is approximately 40.64%; and (iii) the amount
of OID allocable to the short first accrual period (November 26, 1996 to
December 25, 1996) as a percentage of the initial Class A-6 Notional Amount,
calculated using the exact method, is approximately 0.23859893%.
This Certificate constitutes a "regular interest" in a "real estate
mortgage investment conduit" as those terms are defined in Section 860G(a)(1)
and Section 860D, respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.
Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized officer of
the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATES
SERIES 1996-8
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued
in several Classes and Subclasses designated as Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the
"Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. In the event funds are advanced with respect to any
Mortgage Loan by a Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, such advances
are reimbursable to such Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee to the
extent provided in the Agreement, from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan
or from other cash that would have been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account
created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer
from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders,
such purposes including reimbursement to a Servicer, the Master Servicer or the
Trustee, as applicable, of advances made by such Servicer, the Master Servicer
or the Trustee.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of
the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Seller, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66 2/3% of the Voting Interests of
each Class or Subclass of Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the
Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and
upon all future holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon
the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof in certain 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 upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
office or agency appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
an assignment in the form below or other 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 authorized Denominations evidencing
the same Class and Subclass and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in Classes and 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 authorized Denominations evidencing the
same Class and Subclass and 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 or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection therewith.
The Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar,
and any agent of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar, may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as
the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Seller, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and
the Trust Estate created thereby shall terminate upon the last action required
to be taken by the Trustee on the Final Distribution Date pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the payment or other liquidation (or
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto or the
disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the purchase by the Seller from the
Trust Estate of all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in
respect of such Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that the Trust Estate will in
no event continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last
survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the
United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date of the Agreement.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Seller to purchase all
remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage
Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such
option will effect early retirement of the Certificates, the Seller's right to
exercise such option being subject to the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of such
repurchase are distributed being less than ten percent of the Cut-Off Date
Aggregate Principal Balance.

benefit of Certificateholders, to review, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each Custodial File. If in

defective in any material respect, the Custodian shall promptly so notify the
Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee.
Section 2.4. Notification of Breaches of Representations and Warranties.
Upon discovery by the Custodian of a breach of any representation or warranty

Section 2.5. Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Custodial Files. Upon the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in an manner customary for
such purposes, the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Custodian by a
certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that
all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are
required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.02 of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) of a
Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Custodial File. The
Custodian agrees, upon receipt of such certification and request, promptly to
release the related Custodial File to the Master Servicer.
From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a certificate
of a Servicing Officer requesting that possession of all, or any document
constituting part of, the Custodial File be released to the Master Servicer and
certifying as to the reason for such release and that such release will not
invalidate any insurance coverage provided in respect of the Mortgage Loan. With
such certificate, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a receipt
signed by a Servicing Officer on behalf of the Master Servicer, and upon receipt
of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Custodial File or such
document to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall cause each Custodial
File or any document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when
the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the
Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the
Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Certificate Account to the extent
required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (ii) the Custodial File or
such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other
public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal
action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either
judicially or non-judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered to the
Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and
address of the Person to which such Custodial File or such document were
delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. In the event of the
liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, the Custodian shall deliver such receipt with
respect thereto to the Master Servicer upon deposit of the related Liquidation
Proceeds in the Certificate Account to the extent required by the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
Section 2.6. Assumption Agreements. In the event that any assumption
agreement or substitution of liability agreement is entered into with respect to
any Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall
notify the Custodian that such assumption or substitution agreement has been
completed by forwarding to the Custodian the original of such assumption or
substitution agreement, which copy shall be added to the related Custodial File
and, for all purposes, shall be considered a part of such Custodial File to the
same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting parts thereof.
ARTICLE III
Concerning the Custodian
Section 3.1. Custodian a Bailee and Agent of the Trustee. With respect to
each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other documents constituting each Custodian
File which are delivered to the Custodian, the Custodian is exclusively the
bailee and agent of the Trustee, holds such documents for the benefit of
Certificateholders and undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as
are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Except upon compliance with the
provisions of Section 2.5 of this Agreement, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other
document constituting a part of a Custodial File shall be delivered by the
Custodian to the Seller or the Master Servicer or otherwise released from the
possession of the Custodian.
Section 3.2. Indemnification. The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and
hold the Custodian harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, losses,
actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, or any other expenses, fees
or charges of any character or nature, which the Custodian may incur or with
which the Custodian may be threatened by reasons of its acting as custodian
under this Agreement, including indemnification of the Custodian against any and
all expenses, including attorney's fees if counsel for the Custodian has been
approved by the Seller, and the cost of defending any action, suit or
proceedings or resisting any claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is
specifically understood and agreed that in the event any such claim, liability,
loss, action, suit or proceeding or other expense, fees, or charge shall have
been caused by reason of any negligent act, negligent failure to act, or willful
misconduct on the part of the Custodian, or which shall constitute a willful
breach of its duties hereunder, the indemnification provisions of this Agreement
shall not apply.
Section 3.3. Custodian May Own Certificates. The Custodian in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates
with the same rights it would have if it were not Custodian.
Section 3.4. Master Servicer to Pay Custodian's Fees and Expenses. The
Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Custodian from time to time,
and the Custodian shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services
rendered by it in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties
hereunder of the Custodian, and the Master Servicer will 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 (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in
its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from
its negligence or bad faith.
Section 3.5. Custodian May Resign; Trustee May Remove Custodian. The
Custodian may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed upon it as
such obligations and duties relate to its acting as Custodian of the Mortgage
Loans. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Trustee shall either take
custody of the Custodial Files itself and give prompt notice thereof to the
Seller, the Master Servicer and the Custodian or promptly appoint a successor
Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the resigning Custodian and one copy to the successor
Custodian. If the Trustee shall not have taken custody of the Custodial Files
and no successor Custodian shall have been so appointed and have accepted
resignation, the resigning Custodian may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Custodian.
The Trustee may remove the Custodian at any time. In such event, the
Trustee shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint,
a successor Custodian hereunder. Any successor Custodian shall be a depository
institution subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority
and shall be able to satisfy the other requirements contained in Section 3.7.
Any resignation or removal of the Custodian and appointment of a successor
Custodian pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3.5 shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Custodian. The Trustee
shall give prompt notice to the Seller and the Master Servicer of the
appointment of any successor Custodian. No successor Custodian shall have been
appointed and accepted appointment by the Trustee without the prior approval of
the Seller and the Master Servicer.
Section 3.6. Merger or Consolidation of Custodian. Any Person into which
the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated,
or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Custodian shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the
Custodian, shall be the successor of the Custodian hereunder, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 3.7. Representations of the Custodian. The Custodian hereby
represents that it is a depository institution subject to supervision or
examination by a federal or state authority, has a combined capital and surplus
of at least $10,000,000 and is qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in
which it will hold any Custodian File.

investment.]
[(c) The Purchaser is a "Qualified Institutional Buyer" within
the meaning of Rule 144A of the Act.]
(d) The Purchaser confirms that (a) it has received and

Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), or any governmental plan, as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA

(with modifications as applicable), as appropriate, other applicable
investment authority, rules, supervisory policies and guidelines of
these agencies and, to the extent appropriate, state banking
authorities and has concluded that its purchase of the Class [B-3]
[B-4] [B-5] Certificates is in compliance therewith.
Section 3. Transfer of Class [B-3] [B-4] [B-5] Certificates.
(a) The Purchaser understands that the Class [B-3] [B-4] [B-5]
Certificates have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "Act") or any state securities laws and that no transfer may be
made unless the Class [B-3] [B-4] [B-5] Certificates are registered
under the Act and applicable state law or unless an exemption from
registration is available. The Purchaser further understands that
neither NASCOR, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee is under any
obligation to register the Class [B-3] [B-4] [B-5] Certificates or make
an exemption available. In the event that such a transfer is to be made

securities laws, (i) the Trustee shall require, in order to assure
compliance with such laws, that the Certificateholder's prospective
transferee certify to NASCOR and the Trustee as to the factual basis
for the registration or qualification exemption relied upon, and (ii)

meaning of Rule 144A of the Act, the Trustee or NASCOR may, if such

a holder of the Certificates proposed to be transferred, require an
Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an
exemption from the Act and state securities laws, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or
NASCOR. Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer
shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, any Paying Agent acting on behalf of the Trustee and NASCOR
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.
(b) No transfer of a Class [B-3] [B-4] [B-5] Certificate shall
be made unless the transferee provides NASCOR and the Trustee with a
Transferee's Letter, substantially in the form of this Agreement.
(c) The Purchaser acknowledges that its Class [B-3] [B-4]
[B-5] Certificates bear a legend setting forth the applicable
restrictions on transfer.

information as the Purchaser may reasonably request provided, however, that such
information is consistent with normal reporting practices, concerning each
Mortgage Loan that is at least ninety days delinquent and each Mortgage Loan
which has become real estate owned, through the final liquidation thereof;
provided, that the related Servicer shall only be required to provide
information that is readily accessible to its servicing personnel and is
non-confidential provided, however, that the Purchaser will reimburse the
Company and the related Servicer for any out of pocket expenses.
Section 2.02 Purchaser's Election to Delay Foreclosure Proceedings
(a) The Purchaser shall be deemed to direct the Company to cause, to the
extent that the Company as Master Servicer is granted such authority in the
related Servicing Agreement, the related Servicer that in the event that the
Company does not receive written notice of the Purchaser's election pursuant to
subsection (b) below within 24 hours (exclusive of any intervening non-Business
Days) of transmission of the notice provided by the Company under Section 2.01
(a) (ii) subject to extension as set forth in Section 2.02(b), the related
Servicer may proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure in respect of such
Mortgage Loan in accordance with its normal foreclosure policies without further
notice to the Purchaser. Any foreclosure that has been initiated may be
discontinued (i) without notice to the Purchaser if the Mortgage Loan has been
brought current or if a refinancing or prepayment occurs with respect to the
Mortgage Loan (including by means of a short payoff approved by the related
Servicer) or (ii) if the related Servicer has reached the terms of a forbearance
agreement with the borrower. In such latter case, the related Servicer may
complete such forbearance agreement unless instructed otherwise by the Purchaser
within two Business Days notification.
(b) In connection with any Mortgage Loan with respect to which a notice
under Section 2.01(a)(ii) has been given to the Purchaser, the Purchaser may
elect to instruct the Company to cause, to the extent that the Company as Master
Servicer is granted such authority in the related Servicing Agreement, the
related Servicer to delay the Commencement of Foreclosure until such time as the
Purchaser determines that the related Servicer may proceed with the Commencement
of Foreclosure. Such election must be evidenced by written notice received
within 24 hours (exclusive of any intervening non-Business Days) of transmission
of the notice provided by the Company under Section 2.01(a)(ii). Such 24 hour
period shall be extended for no longer than an additional four Business Days
after the receipt of the information if the Purchaser requests additional
information related to such foreclosure; provided, however that the Purchaser
will have at least one Business Day to respond to any requested additional
information. Any such additional information shall (i) be provided only to the
extent it is not confidential in nature and (ii) is obtainable by the related
Servicer from existing reports, certificates or statements or otherwise be
readily accessible to its servicing personnel. The Purchaser agrees that it has
no right to deal with the mortgagor during such period. However, if such
servicing activities include acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or
short payoff, the Purchaser will be notified and given two Business Days to
respond.
(c) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an
Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Purchaser shall obtain a Current Appraisal as
soon as practicable, but in no event more than 15 business days thereafter, and
shall provide the Company with a copy of such Current Appraisal.
(d) Within two Business Days of making any Election to Delay Foreclosure,
the Purchaser shall remit by wire transfer to the Company, for deposit in the
Collateral Fund, an amount, as calculated by the Company, equal to the sum of
(i) 125% of the greater of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and
the value shown in the Current Appraisal referred to in subsection (c) above
(or, if such Current Appraisal has not yet been obtained, the Company's estimate
thereof, in which case the required deposit under this subsection shall be
adjusted upon obtaining such Current Appraisal), and (ii) three months' interest
on the Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate. If any Election
to Delay Foreclosure extends for a period in excess of three months (such excess
period being referred to herein as the "Excess Period"), within two Business
Days the Purchaser shall remit by wire transfer in advance to the Company for
deposit in the Collateral Fund the amount of each additional month's interest,
as calculated by the Company, equal to interest on the Mortgage Loan at the
applicable Mortgage Interest Rate for the Excess Period. The terms of this
Agreement will no longer apply to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan upon the
failure of the Purchaser to deposit any of the above amounts relating to the
Mortgage Loan within two Business Days of the Election to Delay Foreclosure or
within two Business Days of the commencement of the Excess Period subject to
Section 3.01.
(e) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an
Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Company may withdraw from the Collateral Fund
from time to time amounts necessary to reimburse the related Servicer for all
related Monthly Advances and Liquidation Expenses thereafter made by such
Servicer in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related
Servicing Agreement. To the extent that the amount of any such Liquidation
Expenses is determined by the Company based on estimated costs, and the actual
costs are subsequently determined to be higher, the Company may withdraw the
additional amount from the Collateral Fund. In the event that the Mortgage Loan
is brought current by the mortgagor and the foreclosure action is discontinued,
the amounts so withdrawn from the Collateral Fund shall be redeposited therein
and to the extent that reimbursement therefor from amounts paid by the mortgagor
is not prohibited pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related
Servicing Agreement as of the date hereof, applicable law or the related
mortgage note. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, amounts withdrawn
from the Collateral Fund to cover Monthly Advances and Liquidation Expenses
shall not be redeposited therein or otherwise reimbursed to the Purchaser. If
and when any such Mortgage Loan is brought current by the mortgagor, all amounts
remaining in the Collateral Fund in respect of such Mortgage Loan (after
adjustment for all permitted withdrawals and deposits pursuant to this
subsection) shall be released to the Purchaser.
(f) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an
Election to Delay Foreclosure, the related Servicer shall continue to service
the Mortgage Loan in accordance with its customary procedures (other than the
delay in Commencement of Foreclosure as provided herein). If and when the
Purchaser shall notify the Company that it believes that it is appropriate to do
so, the related Servicer may proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure. In
any event, if the Mortgage Loan is not brought current by the mortgagor by the
time the loan becomes 6 months delinquent, the Purchaser's election shall no
longer be effective and at the Purchaser's option, either (I) the Purchaser
shall purchase the Mortgage Loan from the related Trust Estate at a purchase
price equal to the fair market value as shown on the Current Appraisal, to be
paid by (x) applying any balance in the Collateral Fund to such to such purchase
price, and (y) to the extent of any deficiency, by wire transfer if immediately
available funds from the Purchaser to the Company for deposit in the related
Certificate Account or Lower-Tier Certificate Account as applicable; or (ii) the
related Servicer may proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure.
(g) Upon the occurrence of a liquidation with respect to any Mortgage Loan
as to which the Purchaser made an Election to Delay Foreclosure and as to which
the related Servicer proceeded with the Commencement of Foreclosure in
accordance with subsection (f) above, the Company shall calculate the amount, if
any, by which the value shown on the Current Appraisal obtained under subsection
(c) exceeds the actual sales price obtained for the related Mortgaged Property
(net of Liquidation Expenses and accrued interest related to the extended
foreclosure period), and the Company shall withdraw the amount of such excess
from the Collateral Fund, shall remit the same to the Trust Estate and in its
capacity as Master Servicer shall apply such amount as additional Liquidation
Proceeds pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. After making such
withdrawal, all amounts remaining in the Collateral Fund in respect of such
Mortgage Loan (after adjustment for all permitted withdrawals and deposits
pursuant to this Agreement) shall be released to the Purchaser.
Section 2.03 Purchaser's Election to Commence Foreclosure Proceedings
(a) In connection with any Mortgage Loan identified in a report under
Section 2.01(a)(i)(B), the Purchaser may elect to instruct the Company to cause,
to the extent that the Company as Master Servicer is granted such authority in
the related Servicing Agreement, the related Servicer to proceed with the
Commencement of Foreclosure as soon as practicable. Such election must be
evidenced by written notice received by the Company by 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third Business Day following the delivery of such report under
Section 2.01(a)(i).
(b) Within two Business Days of making any Election to Foreclose, the
Purchaser shall remit to the Company, for deposit in the Collateral Fund, an
amount, as calculated by the Company, equal to 125% of the current unpaid
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and three months interest on the Mortgage
Loan at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate. If and when any such Mortgage
Loan is brought current by the mortgagor, all amounts in the Collateral Fund in
respect of such Mortgage Loan (after adjustment for all permitted withdrawals
and deposits pursuant to this Agreement) shall be released to the Purchaser and
to the extent that reimbursement therefor from amounts paid by the mortgagor is
not prohibited pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related
Servicing Agreement as of the date hereof, applicable law or the related
mortgage note. The terms of this Agreement will no longer apply to the servicing
of any Mortgage Loan upon the failure of the Purchaser to deposit the above
amounts relating to the Mortgage Loan within two Business Days of the Election
to Foreclose subject to Section 3.01.
(c) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an
Election to Foreclose, the related Servicer shall continue to service the
Mortgage Loan in accordance with its customary procedures (other than
Commencement of Foreclosure as provided herein). In connection therewith, the
Company shall have the same rights to make withdrawals for Monthly Advances and
Liquidations Expenses from the Collateral Fund as are provided under Section
2.02(e), and the Company shall make reimbursements thereto to the limited extent
provided under such subsection in accordance with its customary procedures. The
Company shall not be required to cause, to the extent that the Company as Master
Servicer is granted such authority in the related Servicing Agreement, the
related Servicer to proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure if (i) the same
is stayed as a result of the mortgagor's bankruptcy or is otherwise barred by
applicable law, or to the extent that all legal conditions precedent thereto
have not yet been complied with, or (ii) the Company believes there is a breach
of representations or warranties by the Company, a Servicer, or a Seller, which
may result in a repurchase or substitution of such Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the
Company or related Servicer reasonably believes the Mortgaged Property may be
contaminated with or affected by hazardous wastes or hazardous substances (and,
without limiting the related Servicer's right not to proceed with the
Commencement of Foreclosure, the Company supplies the Purchaser with information
supporting such belief). Any foreclosure that has been initiated may be
discontinued (x) without notice to the Purchaser if the Mortgage Loan has been
brought current or if a refinancing or prepayment occurs with respect to the
Mortgage Loan (including by means of a short payoff approved by the Purchaser)
or (y) with notice to the Purchaser if the related Servicer has reached the
terms of a forbearance agreement unless instructed otherwise by the Purchaser
within two Business Days of such notification. Any such instruction shall be
based upon a decision that such forbearance agreement is not in conformity with
reasonable servicing practices.
(d) Upon the occurrence of a liquidation with respect to any Mortgage Loan
as to which the Purchaser made an Election to Foreclose and as to which the
related Servicer proceeded with the Commencement of Foreclosure in accordance
with subsection (c) above, the Company shall calculate the amount, if any, by
which the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan at the time of
liquidation (plus all unreimbursed interest and servicing advances and
Liquidation Expenses in connection therewith other than those paid from the
Collateral Fund) exceeds the actual sales price obtained for the related
Mortgaged Property, and the Company shall withdraw the amount of such excess
from the Collateral Fund, shall remit the same to the Trust Estate and in its
capacity as Master Servicer shall apply such amount as additional Liquidation
Proceeds pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. After making such
withdrawal, all amounts remaining in the Collateral Fund (after adjustment for
all withdrawals and deposits pursuant to subsection (c) in respect of such
Mortgage Loan shall be released to the Purchaser.
Section 2.04 Termination
(a) With respect to all Mortgage Loans included in the Trust Estate, the
Purchaser's right to make any Election to Delay Foreclosure or any Election to
Foreclose and the Company's obligations under Section 2.01 shall terminate (i)
at such time as the Principal Balance of the Class B Certificates has been
reduced to zero, (ii) if the greater of (x) 43% (or such lower or higher
percentage that represents the related Servicer's actual historical loss
experience with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the related pool as determined
by the Company) of the aggregate principal balance of all Mortgage Loans that
are in foreclosure or are more than 90 days delinquent on a contractual basis
and REO properties or (y) the aggregate amount that the Company estimates
through the normal servicing practices of the related Servicer will be required
to be withdrawn from the Collateral Fund with respect to Mortgage Loans as to
which the Purchaser has made an Election to Delay Foreclosure or an Election to
Foreclosure, exceeds (z) the then-current principal balance of the Class B
Certificates, (iii) upon any transfer by the Purchaser of any interest (other
than the minority interest therein, but only if the transferee provides written
acknowledgment to the Company of the Purchaser's right hereunder and that such
transferee will have no rights hereunder) in the Class B Certificates (whether
or not such transfer is registered under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement),
including any such transfer in connection with a termination of the Trust Estate
or (iv) any breach of the terms of this Agreement by the Purchaser.
(b) Except as set forth in 2.04(a), this Agreement and the respective
rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Purchaser and the Company
hereunder shall terminate upon the later to occur of (i) the final liquidation
of the last Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser made any Election to Delay
Foreclosure or any Election to Foreclose and the withdrawal of all remaining
amounts in the Collateral Fund as provided herein and (ii) ten Business Days'
notice. The Purchaser's right to make an election pursuant to Section 2.02 or
Section 2.03 hereof with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan shall terminate
if the Purchaser fails to make any deposit required pursuant to Section 2.02(d)
or 2.03(b) or if the Purchaser fails to make any other deposit to the Collateral
Fund pursuant to this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
COLLATERAL FUND; SECURITY INTEREST
Section 3.01. Collateral Fund
Upon receipt from the Purchaser of the initial amount required to be
deposited in the Collateral Fund pursuant to Article II, the Company shall
establish and maintain with Bankers Trust Company as a segregated account on its
books and records an account (the "Collateral Fund"), entitled "Norwest Bank
Minnesota, National Association, as Master Servicer, for the benefit of
registered holders of Norwest Asset Securities Corporation Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1996-8. Amounts held in the Collateral Fund shall continue
to be the property of the Purchaser, subject to the first priority security
interest granted hereunder for the benefit of the Certificateholders, until
withdrawn from the Collateral Fund pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof. The
Collateral Fund shall be an "outside reserve fund" within the meaning of the
REMIC Provisions, beneficially owned by the Purchaser for federal income tax
purposes. All income, gain, deduction or loss with respect to the Collateral
Fund shall be that of the Purchaser. All distributions from the Trust Fund to
the Collateral Fund shall be treated as distributed to the Purchaser as the
beneficial owner thereof.
Upon the termination of this Agreement and the liquidation of all Mortgage
Loans as to which the Purchaser has made any Election to Delay Foreclosure or
any Election to Foreclose pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof, the Company shall
distribute to the Purchaser all amounts remaining in the Collateral Fund (after
adjustment for all deposits and permitted withdrawals pursuant to this
Agreement) together with any investment earnings thereon. In the event the
Purchaser has made any Election to Delay Foreclosure or any Election to
Foreclose, prior to any distribution to the Purchaser of all amounts remaining
in the Collateral Fund, funds in the Collateral Fund shall be applied consistent
with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 3.02. Collateral Fund Permitted Investments.
The Company shall, at the written direction of the Purchaser, invest the
funds in the Collateral Fund in Collateral Fund Permitted Investments. Such
direction shall not be changed more frequently than quarterly. In the absence of
any direction, the Company shall select such investments in accordance with the
definition of Collateral Fund Permitted Investments in its discretion.
All income and gain realized from any investment as well as any interest
earned on deposits in the Collateral Fund (net of any losses on such
investments) and any payments of principal made in respect of any Collateral
Fund Permitted Investment shall be deposited in the Collateral Fund upon
receipt. All costs and realized losses associated with the purchase and sale of
Collateral Fund Permitted Investments shall be borne by the Purchaser and the
amount of net realized losses shall be deposited by the Purchaser in the
Collateral Fund promptly upon realization. The Company shall periodically (but
not more frequently than monthly) distribute to the Purchaser upon request an
amount of cash, to the extent cash is available therefore in the Collateral
Fund, equal to the amount by which the balance of the Collateral Fund, after
giving effect to all other distributions to be made from the Collateral Fund on
such date, exceeds the Required Collateral Fund Balance. Any amounts so
distributed shall be released from the lien and security interest of this
Agreement.
Section 3.03. Grant of Security Interest
The Purchaser hereby grants to the Company for the benefit of the
Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement a security interest
in and lien on all of the Purchaser's right, title and interest, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, in and to: (1) the Collateral Fund, (2) all amounts
deposited in the Collateral Fund and Collateral Fund Permitted Investments in
which such amounts are invested (and the distributions and proceeds of such
investments) and (3) all cash and non-cash proceeds of any of the foregoing,
including proceeds of the voluntary conversion thereof (all of the foregoing
collectively, the "Collateral").
The Purchaser acknowledges the lien on the security interest in the
Collateral for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Purchaser shall take
all actions requested by the Company as may be reasonably necessary to perfect
the security interest created under this Agreement in the Collateral and cause
it to be prior to all other security interests and liens, including the
execution and delivery to the Company for filing of appropriate financing
statements in accordance with applicable law. The Company shall file appropriate
continuation statements, or appoint an agent on its behalf to file such
statements, in accordance with applicable law.
Section 3.04. Collateral Shortfalls.
In the event that amounts on deposit in the Collateral Fund at any time are
insufficient to cover any withdrawals therefrom that the Company is then
entitled to make hereunder, the Purchaser shall be obligated to pay such amounts
to the Company immediately upon demand. Such obligation shall constitute a
general corporate obligation of the Purchaser. The failure to pay such amounts
within two Business Days of such demand (except for amounts to cover interest on
a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 2.02(d) and 2.03 (b)), shall cause an
immediate termination of the Purchaser's right to make any Election to Delay
Foreclosure or Election to Foreclose and the Company's obligations under this
Agreement with respect to all Mortgage Loans to which such insufficiencies
relate, without the necessity of any further notice or demand on the part of the
Company.
