Section 2.03 Acceptance of Mortgage Loans by Indenture Trustee. (a) The
Indenture Trustee acknowledges receipt of, subject to the exceptions it notes
pursuant to the procedures described below, the documents (or certified copies
thereof) referred to in Section 2.1(b) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,
and declares that it holds and will continue to hold those documents and any
amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all other assets of the
Trust Estate as the Indenture Trustee in trust for the use and benefit of all
present and future Holders of the Bonds. No later than 45 days after the Closing
Date, with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans, or the applicable Subsequent
Transfer Date, with respect to the related Group 1 Subsequent Mortgage Loans and
Group 2 Subsequent Mortgage Loans (or, with respect to any Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loan, within 5 days after the receipt by the Indenture Trustee thereof
and, with respect to any documents received beyond 45 days after the Closing
Date, promptly thereafter), the Indenture Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the
Bondholders, to review each Mortgage File delivered to it and to execute and
deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Seller and the Master
Servicer an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G. In
conducting such review, the Indenture Trustee will ascertain whether all
required documents described in Section 2.1(b) of (i) the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans, and (ii) the applicable
Group 1 Subsequent Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and Group 2 Subsequent
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements, with respect to the related Group 1
Subsequent Mortgage Loans and Group 2 Subsequent Mortgage Loans, respectively,
have been executed and received and whether those documents relate, determined
on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal balance and loan number,
to the Mortgage Loans it has received, as identified in Exhibit B to this
Indenture, as supplemented (provided, however, that with respect to those
documents described in subclause
(b)(vii) of such section, the Indenture Trustee's obligations shall extend only
to documents actually delivered pursuant to such subclause). In performing any
such review, the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on the purported due
execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness
of any signature thereon. If the Indenture Trustee finds any document
constituting part of the Mortgage File not to have been executed or received, or
to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B to this Indenture
or to appear to be defective on its face, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly
notify the Seller of such finding and the Seller's obligation to cure such
defect or repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan. To the extent
the Indenture Trustee has not received a Mortgage File with respect to any of
the Initial Mortgage Loans by the Closing Date, or any of the related Group 1
Subsequent Mortgage Loans and Group 2 Subsequent Mortgage Loans by the
applicable Subsequent Transfer Date, the Indenture Trustee shall not require the
deposit of cash into the Payment Account or any other account to cover the
amount of that Mortgage Loan and shall solely treat such Mortgage Loan as if it
were in breach of a representation or warranty; provided that the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans does not exceed 1% of the sum of
the Cut-off Date Balance and the Group 1 Original Pre-Funded Amount and Group 2
Original Pre-Funded Amount.
(b) No later than 180 days after the Closing Date (with respect to the
Initial Mortgage Loans) or the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date (with respect
to the related Group 1 Subsequent Mortgage Loans and Group 2 Subsequent Mortgage
Loans), the Indenture Trustee will review, for the benefit of the Bondholders,
the Mortgage Files and will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and
delivered to the Seller, a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit H. In conducting such review, the Indenture Trustee will ascertain
whether an original of each document described in subclauses (b)(ii)-(iv) of
Section 2.1 of (i) the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, with respect to the
Initial Mortgage Loans, and (ii) any Group 1 or Group 2 Subsequent Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, with respect to the related Group 1 Subsequent Mortgage
Loans and Group 2 Subsequent Mortgage Loans, required to be recorded has been
returned from the recording office with evidence of recording thereon or a
certified copy has been obtained from the recording office. If the Indenture
Trustee finds any document constituting part of the Mortgage File has not been
received, or to be unrelated, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name,
original principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in
Exhibit B to this Indenture or to appear defective on its face, the Indenture
Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller.
(c) Upon deposit of the Repurchase Price in the Payment Account, the
Indenture Trustee shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and
shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without
recourse, furnished to it by the Seller as are necessary to vest in the Seller
title to and rights under the related Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be
deemed to have occurred on the date on which the certification of deposit of the
Repurchase Price in the Payment Account was received by the Indenture Trustee.
The Indenture Trustee shall amend the applicable Mortgage Loan Schedule to
reflect such repurchase and shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the
Rating Agencies of such amendment.
Section 2.04 Acceptance of Derivative Contracts by Indenture Trustee. The
Indenture Trustee acknowledges receipt of the Derivative Contracts and declares
that it holds and will continue to hold these documents and any amendments,
replacements or supplements thereto and
all other assets of the Trust Estate as Indenture Trustee in trust for the use
and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Bonds. The Indenture
Trustee shall enforce the Derivative Contracts in accordance with their terms.
Section 2.05 Conveyance of the Group 1 Subsequent Mortgage Loans. (a)
Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) below and in consideration
of the Indenture Trustee's delivery on the applicable Subsequent Transfer Dates,
to or upon the written order of the Depositor, of all or a portion of the
balance of funds in the Group 1 Pre-Funding Account, the Depositor shall on any
Group 1 Subsequent Transfer Date sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey
without recourse to the Trust Estate, but subject to the other terms and
provisions of this Agreement, all of the right, title and interest of the
Depositor in and to (i) the related Group 1 Subsequent Mortgage Loans identified
on the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached to the related Group 1 Subsequent
Transfer Instrument delivered by the Depositor on such Group 1 Subsequent
Transfer Date, (ii) all interest accruing thereon on and after the Subsequent
Cut-off Date (with respect to the Group 1 Subsequent Mortgage Loans) and all
collections in respect of interest and principal due after the Subsequent
Cut-off Date and (iii) all items with respect to such Group 1 Subsequent
Mortgage Loans to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.03 and the other items in
the related Mortgage Files; provided, however, that the Depositor reserves and
retains all right, title and interest in and to principal received and interest
accruing on the Group 1 Subsequent Mortgage Loans prior to the related
Subsequent Cut-off Date. The transfer to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in
the Trust Estate by the Depositor of the Group 1 Subsequent Mortgage Loans
identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be absolute and is intended by
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Bondholders to
constitute and to be treated as a sale of the Group 1 Subsequent Mortgage Loans
by the Depositor to the Trust Estate. The related Mortgage File for each Group 1
Subsequent Mortgage Loan shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee at least
three (3) Business Days prior to the related Subsequent Transfer Date.
The purchase price paid by the Indenture Trustee from amounts released
from the Group 1 Pre-Funding Account shall be one-hundred percent (100%) of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Group 1 Subsequent Mortgage Loans so
transferred (as identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule provided by the
Depositor).
(b) The Depositor shall transfer to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in
the Trust Estate the applicable Group 1 Subsequent Mortgage Loans and the other
property and rights related thereto as described in paragraph (a) above, and the
Indenture Trustee shall release such applicable funds from the Group 1
Pre-Funding Account, only upon the satisfaction of each of the following
conditions on or prior to the related Group 1 Subsequent Transfer Date:
(i) the Depositor shall have provided the Indenture Trustee
and the Rating Agencies with a timely Addition Notice and shall have
provided any information reasonably requested by the Indenture Trustee
with respect to the Group 1 Subsequent Mortgage Loans;
(ii) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Indenture
Trustee a duly executed Group 1 Subsequent Transfer Instrument (which the
Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to execute), which shall include a
Mortgage Loan Schedule listing the Group 1
Subsequent Mortgage Loans, and the Master Servicer, in its capacity as
Originator, shall have delivered a computer file containing such Mortgage
Loan Schedule to the Indenture Trustee at least three (3) Business Days
prior to the related Group 1 Subsequent Transfer Date;
(iii) as of each Group 1 Subsequent Transfer Date, as
evidenced by delivery of the related Group 1 Subsequent Transfer
Instrument, substantially in the form of Exhibit E, the Depositor shall
not be insolvent nor shall it have been rendered insolvent by such
transfer nor shall it be aware of any pending insolvency;
(iv) such sale and transfer shall not result in a material
adverse tax consequence to the Trust Estate or to the Bondholders;
(v) the Funding Period shall not have terminated;
(vi) the Depositor shall not have selected the applicable
Group 1 Subsequent Mortgage Loans in a manner that it believed to be
adverse to the interests of the Bondholders;
(vii) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Indenture
Trustee the related Group 1 Subsequent Transfer Instrument confirming the

hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all such
surrenders, notices and demands.
Section 3.03 Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust; Paying Agent. (a) As
provided in Section 3.01, all payments of amounts due and payable with respect
to any Bonds that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Payment Account

as its Paying Agent.
The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee
to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture
Trustee acts as Paying Agent it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of
this Section 3.03, that such Paying Agent will:
(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due
with respect to the Bonds in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein
provided;

and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Request
direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in trust
by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Indenture Trustee upon the
same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and
upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Indenture Trustee, such Paying
Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.
Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money
held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of
any amount due with respect to any Bond and remaining unclaimed for one year
after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust
and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request; and the Holder of such Bond shall
thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for
payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer),
and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture

to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Bonds have been called but
have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in monies
due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the
Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of record for each
such Holder).

rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of

organized under the laws of any other state or of the United States of America,
in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and

Indenture Trustee for the Bondholders for the uses and purposes set forth
herein.
(b) For federal income tax purposes, the Master Servicer shall be the
owner of the Interest Coverage Accounts and shall report all items of income,
deduction, gain or loss arising therefrom. All income and gain realized from
investment of funds deposited in the Interest Coverage Accounts, which
investment shall be made solely upon the written direction of the Master
Servicer in Permitted Investments, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit
of the Master Servicer and shall be remitted by the Indenture Trustee to the

Original Pre-Funded Amount and Group 2 Original Pre-Funded Amount, respectively,
over the aggregate Principal Balance of Group 1 Subsequent Mortgage Loans and
the Group 2 Subsequent Mortgage Loans, respectively, that (in each case) both
(i) had a Due Date during the Due Period relating to such Payment Date and (ii)
had a Subsequent Cut-off Date prior to the first day of the month in which such
Payment Date occurs, at a per annum rate equal to 1.25%. Such withdrawal and
deposit shall be treated as a contribution of cash by the Master Servicer to the
Trust Fund on the date thereof. Immediately following any such withdrawal and
deposit, and immediately following the conveyance of any Group 1 Subsequent
Mortgage Loans or Group 2 Subsequent Mortgage Loans to the Trust on any
Subsequent Transfer Date, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the Group 1
Interest Coverage Account or Group 2 Subsequent Mortgage Loans and remit to the
Master Servicer or its designee an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
amount remaining in such Group 1 Interest Coverage Account or Group 2 Interest
Coverage Account, respectively, over the amount that would be required to be
withdrawn therefrom (assuming sufficient funds therein) pursuant to the
preceding sentence on each subsequent Payment Date, if any, that will occur
during the Funding Period or that will be the Payment Date immediately following
the end of the Funding Period, if no Group 1 Subsequent Mortgage Loans or Group
2 Subsequent Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Trust Fund after the end of the
Prepayment Period relating to the current Payment Date.

paid to the Master Servicer or its designee.

by a Derivative Counterparty with respect to the related Derivative Contracts (a
"Derivative Contract Default"), the Issuer, at its expense, may, but shall not
be required to, substitute a new derivative contract for the existing Derivative
Contracts or any other form of similar coverage for basis risk shortfalls;
provided, however, that the timing and mechanism for receiving payments under
such new derivative contracts shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indenture
Trustee. It shall be a condition to substitution of any new derivative contracts
that there be delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such substitution would not (a) result in a "substantial
modification" of the Bonds under Treasury Regulation section 1.1001-3, or
adversely affect the status of the Bonds as indebtedness for federal income tax
purposes, or (b) if 100% of the Certificates are not owned by IMH Assets Corp.,
cause the Trust to be subject to an entity level tax for federal income tax
purposes.

A-IO-2 Bondholders pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof. On each Payment Date, any
payments received by the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Guaranty Agreement
shall be paid to the Holders of the Class A-IO-1 Bonds and Class A-IO-2 Bonds.
Section 3.31 Allocation of Realized Losses. (a) Prior to each Payment
Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the total amount of Realized Losses
that occurred during the related Prepayment Period. The amount of each Realized
Loss shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Indenture
Trustee with the related Remittance Report.
(b) On each Payment Date following the application of all amounts
distributable on such date, to the extent the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of the Group 1 Loans is less than the aggregate Bond Principal Balances of the
Group 1 Bonds due to Realized Losses on the Group 1 Loans, the Bond Principal

Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. All Realized Losses
allocated to a Class of Bonds will be allocated in proportion to the Percentage
Interests evidenced thereby.

ARTICLE IV
The Bonds; Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture
Section 4.01 The Bonds. Each Class of Bonds shall be registered in the
name of a nominee designated by the Depository. Beneficial Owners will hold
interests in the Bonds through the book-entry facilities of the Depository in
minimum initial Bond Principal Balances of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1
in excess thereof.
The Indenture Trustee may for all purposes (including the making of
payments due on the Bonds) deal with the Depository as the authorized
representative of the Beneficial Owners with respect to the Bonds for the
purposes of exercising the rights of Holders of the Bonds hereunder. Except as
provided in the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 4.01, the rights of
Beneficial Owners with respect to the Bonds shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the
Depository and Depository Participants. Except as provided in Section 4.08
hereof, Beneficial Owners shall not be entitled to definitive certificates for
the Bonds as to which they are the Beneficial Owners. Requests and directions
from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Bonds shall not be deemed
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Beneficial Owners. The
Indenture Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with
solicitations of consents from or voting by Bondholders and give notice to the
Depository of such record date. Without the consent of the Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee, no Bond may be transferred by the Depository except to a
successor Depository that agrees to hold such Xxxx for the account of the
Beneficial Owners.
In the event the Depository Trust Company resigns or is removed as
Depository, the Indenture Trustee with the approval of the Issuer may appoint a
successor Depository. If no successor Depository has been appointed within 30
days of the effective date of the Depository's resignation or removal, each
Beneficial Owner shall be entitled to certificates representing the Bonds it
beneficially owns in the manner prescribed in Section 4.08.
The Bonds shall, on original issue, be executed on behalf of the Issuer by
the Owner Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner Trustee,
authenticated by the Indenture Trustee and delivered by the Indenture Trustee to
or upon the order of the Issuer.
Section 4.02 Registration of and Limitations on Transfer and Exchange of
Bonds; Appointment of Bond Registrar and Certificate Registrar. The Issuer shall
cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a Bond Register in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Bond Registrar shall
provide for the registration of Bonds and of transfers and exchanges of Bonds as
herein provided.
Subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth below, upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Bond at the Corporate Trust
Office, the Issuer shall execute and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Bonds in authorized initial Bond Principal Balances evidencing the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interests.
Subject to the foregoing, at the option of the Bondholders, Bonds may be
exchanged for other Bonds of like tenor and in authorized initial Bond Principal
Balances evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interests upon
surrender of the Bonds to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office of the Bond
Registrar. Whenever any Bonds are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall
execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Bonds which
the Bondholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Each Bond presented
or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by
the Bond Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Bond Registrar
duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing
with such signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company located or
having a correspondent located in the city of New York. Bonds delivered upon any
such transfer or exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be
entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the Bonds surrendered.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Bonds, but the Bond Registrar shall require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds.
The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as (i) Certificate
Registrar to keep at its Corporate Trust Office a Certificate Register pursuant
to Section 3.09 of the Trust Agreement in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the
registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges thereof pursuant to
Section 3.05 of the Trust Agreement and (ii) Bond Registrar under this
Indenture. The Indenture Trustee hereby accepts such appointments.
Section 4.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Bonds. If (i) any
mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Bond, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Bond Registrar or
the Indenture Trustee that such Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the
Issuer shall execute, and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Bond, a replacement Bond; provided, however, that if
any such destroyed, lost or stolen Bond, but not a mutilated Bond, shall have
become or within seven days shall be due and payable, instead of issuing a
replacement Bond, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Bond when so
due or payable without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such
replacement Bond or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Bond pursuant to the
proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original Bond in
lieu of which such replacement Bond was issued presents for payment such
original Bond, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover
such replacement Bond (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered
or any Person taking such replacement Bond from such Person to whom such
replacement Bond was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona
fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity
provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by
the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.
Upon the issuance of any replacement Bond under this Section 4.03, the
Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of such Bond of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.
Every replacement Bond issued pursuant to this Section 4.03 in replacement
of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and
shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Bonds duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 4.03 are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds.
Section 4.04 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Bond, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the
Paying Agent and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name any Bond is registered (as of the day of determination) as
the owner of such Bond for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and
interest, if any, on such Bond and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or
not such Bond be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the
Paying Agent nor any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 4.05 Cancellation. All Bonds surrendered for payment, registration
of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other
than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be
promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver
to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Bonds previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever,
and all Bonds so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee.
No Bonds shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Bonds
cancelled as provided in this Section 4.05, except as expressly permitted by
this Indenture. All cancelled Bonds may be held or disposed of by the Indenture
Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy as in
effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer Request that they
be destroyed or returned to it; provided, however, that such Issuer Request is
timely and the Bonds have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture
Trustee.
Section 4.06 Book-Entry Bonds. The Bonds, upon original issuance, will be
issued in the form of typewritten Bonds representing the Book-Entry Bonds, to be
delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Depository, by, or on
behalf of, the Issuer. The Bonds shall initially be registered on the Bond
Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Depository, and
no Beneficial Owner will receive a Definitive Bond representing such Beneficial
Owner's interest in such Bond, except as provided in Section 4.08. With respect
to such Bonds, unless and until definitive, fully registered Bonds (the
"Definitive Bonds") have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section
4.08:
(i) the provisions of this Section 4.06 shall be in full force
and effect;
(ii) the Bond Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Indenture
Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Depository for all purposes of
this Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on the
Bonds and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole
holder of the Bonds, and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners
of the Bonds;
(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 4.06
conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of
this Section 4.06 shall control;
(iv) the rights of Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only
through the Depository and shall be limited to those established by law
and agreements between such Owners of Bonds and the Depository and/or the
Depository Participants. Unless and until Definitive Bonds are issued
pursuant to Section 4.08, the initial Depository will make book-entry
transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and transmit
payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds to such Depository
Participants; and
(v) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be
taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Bonds evidencing
a specified percentage of the Bond Principal Balances of the Bonds, the
Depository shall be deemed to represent such percentage with respect to
the Bonds only to the extent that it has received instructions to such
effect from Beneficial Owners and/or Depository Participants owning or
representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial
interest in the Bonds and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture
Trustee.
Section 4.07 Notices to Depository. Whenever a notice or other
communication to the Bond Holders is required under this Indenture, unless and
until Definitive Bonds shall have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to
Section 4.08, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and
communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Bonds to the
Depository, and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners.
Section 4.08 Definitive Bonds. If (i) the Indenture Trustee determines
that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities with respect to the Bonds and the Indenture Trustee is unable
to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Indenture Trustee elects to terminate
the book-entry system through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Beneficial Owners of Bonds representing beneficial interests
aggregating at least a majority of the Bond Principal Balances of the Bonds
advise the Depository in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system
through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Beneficial
Owners, then the Depository shall notify all Beneficial Owners and the Indenture
Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
Definitive Bonds to Beneficial Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Bonds representing the Book-Entry Bonds by
the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions, the Issuer shall
execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Bonds in
accordance with the instructions of the Depository. None of the Issuer, the Bond
Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of
such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Bonds, the
Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Bonds as
Bondholders.
Section 4.09 Tax Treatment. The Issuer has entered into this Indenture,
and the Bonds will be issued with the intention that, for federal, state and
local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Bonds will qualify
as indebtedness. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (in accordance with
Section 6.06 hereof), by entering into this Indenture, and each Bondholder, by
its acceptance of its Bond (and each Beneficial Owner by its acceptance of an
interest in the applicable Book-Entry Bond), agree to treat the Bonds for
federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes as
indebtedness.
Section 4.10 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall
cease to be of further effect with respect to the Bonds except as to (i) rights
of registration of transfer and exchange, (ii) substitution of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds, (iii) rights of Bondholders to receive payments
of principal thereof and interest thereon, (iv) Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.06, 3.09,

hereunder, including under Section 6.07 and the obligations of the Indenture
Trustee under Section 4.11, (vi) the right of the Derivative Counterparty to
receive the related Net Derivative Fee and (vii) the rights of Bondholders as
beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property so deposited with the
Indenture Trustee payable to all or any of them, and the Indenture Trustee, on
demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the
Bonds and shall release and deliver the Collateral to or upon the order of the
Issuer, when

replaced or paid as provided in Section 4.03 hereof and (ii) Bonds for

and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or
discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 3.03) have been
delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation; or

Ruling 85-42, 1985-1 C.B. 36, and in accordance therewith, the Issuer will
be the owner of the assets deposited in trust for federal income tax
purposes.

Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof shall be held in trust and
applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Bonds and this

Trustee may determine, to the Holders of Securities, of all sums due and to

Section 4.12 [Reserved].
Section 4.13 Repayment of Monies Held by Paying Agent. In connection with
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Bonds, all
monies then held by any Person other than the Indenture Trustee under the
provisions of this Indenture with respect to such Bonds shall, upon demand of

Section 4.14 Temporary Bonds. Pending the preparation of any Definitive
Bonds, the Issuer may execute and upon its written direction, the Indenture
Trustee may authenticate and make available for delivery, temporary Bonds that
are printed, lithographed, typewritten, photocopied or otherwise produced, in
any denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Bonds in lieu of
which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Bonds may
determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Bonds.
If temporary Bonds are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Bonds to
be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of the Definitive
Bonds, the temporary Bonds

Section 4.15 Representation Regarding ERISA. By acquiring a Class 1-A-1,
Class 1-A-2, Class 2-A-1 or 2-A-2 Bond or interest therein, each Holder of such
Bond or Beneficial Owner of any such interest will be deemed to represent that
either (1) it is not acquiring such Bond with Plan Assets or (2) (A) the
acquisition, holding and transfer of such Bond will not give rise to a
non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code and (B) the Bonds are rated investment grade or better and such
purchaser agrees to treat them as indebtedness for federal income tax purposes.
Alternatively, regardless of the rating of such Bonds, such person may provide

opinion of counsel will not be at the expense of the Issuer, the Seller, the
Depositor, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Master
Servicer or any successor servicer, which opines that the acquisition, holding
and transfer of such Bond or interest therein is permissible under applicable
law, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Seller,
the Depositor, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the
Master Servicer or any successor servicer to any obligation in addition to those
undertaken in the Indenture.
ARTICLE V
Default and Remedies
Section 5.01 Events of Default. The Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture
Trustee, within five days after learning of the occurrence of an Event of
Default, written notice in the form of an Officer's Certificate of any event
which with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an Event of
Default under clause (iii) or (iv) of the definition of "Event of Default", its
status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto. The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge thereof or
unless written notice of such Event of Default is received by a Responsible
Officer and such notice references the Bonds, the Trust Estate or this
Indenture.
Section 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an
Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the
Indenture Trustee at the written direction of the Holders of Bonds representing
not less than a majority of the aggregate Bond Principal Balance of the Bonds
may declare the Bonds to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing
to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if such notice is given by
Bondholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid Bond Principal Balance of
the Class A, Class M and Class B Bonds, together with accrued and unpaid
interest thereon through the date of acceleration shall become immediately due
and payable.
At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity with
respect to an Event of Default has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as
hereinafter in this Article V provided, Holders of the Bonds representing not
less than a majority of the aggregate Bond Principal Balance of the Bonds (other
than the Class A-IO-1 Bonds and Class A-IO-2 Bonds) and not less than a majority
of the aggregate Notional Amount of the Class A-IO-1 Bonds and Class A-IO-2
Bonds, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may waive the
related Event of Default and rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences if
(i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture
Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:
(A) all payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds and all
other amounts that would then be due hereunder or upon the Bonds if the
Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred;
(B) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and
(C) all amounts owed to the Derivative Counterparty; and
(ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the
principal of the Bonds that has become due solely by such acceleration,
have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereto.
Section 5.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Indenture Trustee.
(a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any
interest on any Bond when the same becomes due and payable, and such default
continues for a period of five days, or (ii) default is made in the payment of
the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Bond when the same
becomes due and payable, the Issuer shall, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee,
at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate Bond Principal
Balances of the Bonds, pay to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the
Holders of Bonds, the whole amount then due and payable on the Bonds for
principal and interest, with interest at the applicable Bond Interest Rate upon
the overdue principal, and in addition thereto such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture
Trustee and its agents and counsel.
(b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such
demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, subject to the provisions of Section 10.16 hereof may institute a
Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute
such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against
the Issuer or other obligor upon the Bonds and collect in the manner provided by
law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor the Bonds, wherever
situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.
(c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 10.16 hereof may, as more
particularly provided in Section 5.04 hereof, in its discretion, proceed to
protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Bondholders, by such
appropriate Proceedings, as directed in writing by Holders of a majority of the
aggregate Bond Principal Balances of the Bonds, to protect and enforce any such
rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in
this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to
enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the
Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.
(d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other
obligor upon the Bonds or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in
the Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any
other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law,
or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization,
liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or
taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person,
or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer
or other obligor upon the Bonds, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer
or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, as directed in writing by Holders
of a majority of the aggregate Bond Principal Balances of the Bonds,
irrespective of whether the principal of any Bonds shall then be due and payable
as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether
the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of
this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
Proceedings or otherwise:
(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount
of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Bonds and to
file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in
order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for
reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor
Indenture Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and
for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all
advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture
Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the
Bondholders allowed in such Proceedings;
(ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to
vote on behalf of the Holders of Bonds in any election of a trustee, a
standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such
Proceedings;
(iii) to collect and receive any monies or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts
received with respect to the claims of the Bondholders and of the
Indenture Trustee on their behalf, and
(iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Bonds allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its property;
and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in
any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Bondholders to make
payments to the Indenture Trustee and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee
shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Bondholders, to pay to
the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable
compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and
their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and
liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each
predecessor Indenture Trustee.
(e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture
Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of
any Bondholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Bonds or the rights of any Holder thereof or to
authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Bondholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election
of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.
(f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or
under any of the Bonds, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the
possession of any of the Bonds or the production thereof in any trial or other
Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by
the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an
express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the
expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each
predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall
be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Bonds, subject to Section 5.05
hereof.
(g) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any
Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to
which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be
held to represent all the Holders of the Bonds, and it shall not be necessary to
make any Bondholder a party to any such Proceedings.
Section 5.04 Remedies; Priorities. (a) If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and if an acceleration has been declared and not
rescinded pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof, the Indenture Trustee subject to the
provisions of Section 10.16 hereof may, and shall, at the written direction of
the Holders of a majority of the aggregate Bond Principal Balances of the Bonds,
do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.05 hereof):
(i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Bonds
or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or
otherwise enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and
any other obligor upon such Xxxxx monies adjudged due;
(ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete
or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate;
(iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC
and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights
and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Bonds; and
(iv) sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or rights or
interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and
conducted in any manner permitted by law;
provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise
liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default, unless (A) the
Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Holders of 100% of the aggregate
Bond Principal Balance of the Bonds and 50% of the aggregate Notional Amount of
the Class A-IO-1 Bonds and Class A-IO-2 Bonds, (B) the proceeds of such sale or
liquidation distributable to the Holders of the Bonds are sufficient to
discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon such Bonds for principal
and interest or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Mortgage Loans
will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of
and interest on the applicable Bonds as they would have become due if the Bonds
had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the
consent of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate Bond Principal Balance of
the Bonds and a majority of the aggregate Notional Amount of the Class A-IO-1
Bonds and Class A-IO-2 Bonds. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency
with respect to clause (B) and (C), the Indenture Trustee may, but need not,
obtain and rely upon an opinion (obtained at the expense of the Trust) of an
Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to
the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust
Estate for such purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as an Event of
Servicer Termination has not occurred, any Sale of the Trust Estate shall be
made subject to the continued servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Master
Servicer as provided in the Servicing Agreement.

Bondholders, concurrently on a pro rata basis, second, to the Class M-1-1
Bondholders and Class M-1-2 Bondholders, concurrently, third to the Class

payment to Bondholders pursuant to this Section 5.04. At least 15 days before
such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Bondholder a notice
that states the record date, the Payment Date and the amount to be paid.
Section 5.05 Optional Preservation of the Trust Estate. If the Bonds have
been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event of
Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled, the Indenture Trustee may elect to take and maintain possession of the
Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Bondholders that
there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and
interest on the Bonds and other obligations of the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining whether or not to
take and maintain possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to take
and maintain possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need
not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or
accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed
action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.
Section 5.06 Limitation of Suits. No Holder of any Bond shall have any
right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless and subject to the provisions of Section 10.16 hereof
(i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the
Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
(ii) the Holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate Bond
Principal Balances of the Bonds (for which purpose the Class A-IO-1 Bonds
and Class A-IO-2 Bonds will be deemed to have an aggregate Bond Principal
Balance equal to 5% of the aggregate Bond Principal Balance of the other
Classes of Bonds) have made a written request to the Indenture Trustee to
institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own
name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;
(iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture
Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
to be incurred in complying with such request;
(iv) the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of
such notice of request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such
Proceedings; and
(v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has
been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the
Holders of a majority of the Bond Principal Balances of the Bonds and a
majority of the aggregate Notional Amount of the Class A-IO-1 Bonds and
Class A-IO-2 Bonds.
It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Bonds shall have
any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision
of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other
Holders of Bonds or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over
any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided.
Subject to the last paragraph of Section 5.11 herein, in the event the
Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and
indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Bonds, each representing less
than a majority of the Bond Principal Balances of the Bonds, the Indenture
Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be
taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.
Section 5.07 Unconditional Rights of Bondholders To Receive Principal and
Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder of
any Bond shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Bond on or after the
respective due dates thereof expressed in such Bond or in this Indenture and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not
be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
Section 5.08 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Indenture Trustee
or any Bondholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy
under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for
any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such
Bondholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and
the Bondholders shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be
restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Bondholders
shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.
Section 5.09 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Bondholders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 5.10 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the
Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Bond to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture
Trustee or to the Bondholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Bondholders, as
the case may be.
Section 5.11 Control By Bondholders. The Holders of a majority of the
aggregate Bond Principal Balances of Bonds and a majority of the aggregate
Notional Amount of the Class A-IO-1 Bonds and Class A-IO-2 Bonds shall have the
right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any
remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Bonds or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that:
(i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of
law or with this Indenture;
(ii) any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or
liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by Holders of Bonds representing not
less than 100% of the Bond Principal Balances of the Bonds (for which
purpose the Class A-IO-1 Bonds and Class A-IO-2 Bonds will together be
deemed to have a Bond Principal Balance equal to 5% of the aggregate Bond
Principal Balance of the other Classes of Bonds); and
(iii) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed
proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such
direction of the Holders of Bonds representing a majority of the Bond
Principal Balances of the Bonds.
Notwithstanding the rights of Bondholders set forth in this Section 5.11 the
Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it
in liability.
Section 5.12 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the declaration of the
acceleration of the maturity of the Bonds as provided in Section 5.02 hereof,
the Holders of Bonds representing not less than a majority of the aggregate Bond
Principal Balance of the Bonds may waive any past Event of Default and its
consequences except an Event of Default (a) with respect to payment of principal
of or interest on any of the Bonds or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision
hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of
each Bond. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and
the Holders of the Bonds shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Upon any such waiver, any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this
Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 5.13 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree,
and each Holder of any Bond and each Beneficial Owner of any interest therein by
such Holder's or Beneficial Owner's acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have
agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or
in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in
its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by
the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Bondholder, or group of
Bondholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Bond
Principal Balances of the Bonds (for which purpose the Class A-IO-1 Bonds and
Class A-IO-2 Bonds will together be deemed to have a Bond Principal Balance
equal to 5% of the aggregate Bond Principal Balance of the other Classes of
Bonds) or (c) any suit instituted by any Bondholder for the enforcement of the
payment of principal of or interest on any Bond on or after the respective due
dates expressed in such Bond and in this Indenture.
Section 5.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon,
or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in
force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and
the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives
all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not
hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power
as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 5.15 Sale of Trust Estate. (a) The power to effect any sale or
other disposition (a "Sale") of any portion of the Trust Estate pursuant to
Section 5.04 hereof is expressly subject to the provisions of Section 5.05
hereof and this Section 5.15. The power to effect any such Sale shall not be
exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate
remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate

payment;

offered for Sale in connection with any Sale thereof, and, subject to any
requirements of, and to the extent permitted by, applicable law in
connection therewith, may purchase all or any portion of the Trust Estate
in a private sale, and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make
settlement for the purchase price by crediting the gross Sale price
against the sum of (A) the amount which would be distributable to the
Holders of the Bonds and Holders of Certificates as a result of such Sale
in accordance with Section 5.04(b) hereof on the Payment Date next
succeeding the date of such Sale and (B) the expenses of the Sale and of

the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect
to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies
of the Indenture Trustee or the Bondholders shall be impaired by the recovery of
any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any

of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the Indenture
Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b) hereof.

Indenture Trustee shall promptly mail to each Bondholder notice of the Event of
Default after it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee,

state income tax returns.

fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer is not obligated to reimburse any
expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the
Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee's own willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith.
The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this

resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. Holders of a majority of Bond
Principal Balances of the Bonds may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying

hereof;
(ii) the Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent;
(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the
Indenture Trustee or its property; or
(iv) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of

the office of the Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in
such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the
Issuer shall, promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.
A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective,
and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties
of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee
shall mail a notice of its succession to Bondholders. The retiring Indenture
Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to
the successor Indenture Trustee.
If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days after
the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Indenture
Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority of Bond Principal Balances of
the Bonds may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor Indenture Trustee.

Section, the Issuer's obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

provided, that such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise
qualified and eligible under Section 6.11 hereof. The Indenture Trustee shall
provide the Rating Agencies with prior written notice of any such transaction.
If at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or
consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by
this Indenture and any of the Bonds shall have been authenticated but not
delivered, any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate
of authentication of any predecessor trustee and deliver such Bonds so
authenticated; and if at that time any of the Bonds shall not have been
authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such
Bonds either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates
shall have the full force which it is in the Bonds or in this Indenture provided
that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.
Section 6.10 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate Indenture
Trustee. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture
Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate
trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to
vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the
Bondholders, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to
the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights
and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 hereof.
(b) 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 rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate trustee
or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or
co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Indenture
Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of
any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed
the Indenture 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 singly by such
separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the
Indenture Trustee;
(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason
of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the
resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and
the conditions of this Article VI. 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
Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with
the Indenture Trustee.
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the
Indenture 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 Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.

entering into such indenture supplement will not result in a "substantial
modification" of the Bonds under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1001-3 or

modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Bonds under this

Counsel, (i) is permitted by this Indenture, and shall not (ii) adversely affect
in any material respect the interests of any Bondholder or (iii) if 100% of the
Certificates are not owned by IMH Assets Corp., cause the Issuer to be subject
to an entity level tax for federal income tax purposes.

above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee
an Independent Certificate from a nationally recognized accounting firm as

Section 10.02 Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. In any
case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an
opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be
certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they
be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify
or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such
Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion
as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be
based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of,
or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are
erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel
may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Seller or the
Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in
the possession of the Seller or the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the
exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.
Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or
certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer
shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application,
or as evidence of the Issuer's compliance with any term hereof, it is intended
that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or
at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the
facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions
precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the
sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be
construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and
accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided
in Article VI.
Section 10.03 Acts of Bondholders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to

required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied
therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of
the Bondholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of
any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be

or other action by the Holder of any Bonds shall bind the Holder of every Bond

Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such
action is made upon such Bond.

Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or Act of Bondholders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture

foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by written notice to the
other parties.
Section 10.05 Notices to Bondholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture
provides for notice to Bondholders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Bondholder affected by such
event, at such Person's address as it appears on the Bond Register, not later
than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the
giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Bondholders is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed
to any particular Bondholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
respect to other Bondholders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein
provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given regardless of
whether such notice is in fact actually received.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be
waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before
or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.
Waivers of notice by Bondholders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action
taken in reliance upon such a waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result
of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail
notice of any event to Bondholders when such notice is required to be given
pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any
manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee
shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure
to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created
hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute an Event of Default.
Section 10.06 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof
limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is required to
be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture
Act, such required provision shall control.
The provisions of TIA xx.xx. 310 through 317 that impose duties on any
Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless
expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture,
whether or not physically contained herein.
Section 10.07 Effect of Headings. The Article and Section headings herein
are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
Section 10.08 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this
Indenture and the Bonds by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns,
whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this
Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.
Section 10.09 Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in
the Bonds shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality,
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.
Section 10.10 [Reserved].
Section 10.11 Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any
payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of the Bonds or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date,
but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and
effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.
Section 10.12 GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS
CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
Section 10.13 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original,
but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.
Section 10.14 Recording of Indenture. If this Indenture is subject to
recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be
effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel
at its expense (which may be counsel to the
Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture
Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the
protection of the Bondholders or any other Person secured hereunder or for the
enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this
Indenture.
Section 10.15 Issuer Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee on the Bonds or under this Indenture or any certificate or
other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner,
beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or
of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it
being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such
obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner,
owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable
law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or
failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of
this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer
hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits
of, the terms and provisions of Article VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.
Section 10.16 No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this
Indenture, and each Bondholder, by accepting a Bond, hereby covenant and agree
that they will not at any time prior to one year from the date of termination
hereof, institute against the Depositor or the Issuer, or join in any
institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other
proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law
in connection with any obligations relating to the Bonds, this Indenture or any
of the Basic Documents.
Section 10.17 Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, at its expense, on
reasonable prior notice, it shall permit any representative of the Indenture
Trustee, during the Issuer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of
account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and
extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified
public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer's affairs, finances and accounts
with the Issuer's officers, employees, and Independent certified public
accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably
requested. The Indenture Trustee shall cause its representatives to hold in
confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required
by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are
unavailing) and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably
determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee have caused their
names to be signed hereto by their respective officers thereunto duly
authorized, all as of the day and year first above written.

Impac CMB Trust Series 2005-1 (the "Issuer"), a Delaware statutory trust,
for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assigns,
the principal sum of ($_________________) in monthly installments on the
twenty-fifth day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day (each a "Payment Date"), commencing in February 2005 and
ending on or before the Payment Date occurring in _____________ (the "Final
Scheduled Payment Date") and to pay interest on the [Bond Principal
Balance][Notional Amount] of this Bond (this "Bond") outstanding from time to
time as provided below.
This Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer's Collateralized
Asset-Backed Bonds, Series 2005-1 (the "Bonds"), issued under an Indenture dated
as of January 28, 2005 (the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank
National Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the "Indenture Trustee", which
term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, and the Holders of the Bonds and the terms upon which the Bonds are to
be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Bond which are defined in
the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
Payments of [principal and] interest on this Bond will be made on each
Payment Date to the Bondholder of record as of the related Record Date. [The
"Bond Principal Balance" of a Bond as of any date of determination is equal to
the initial Bond Principal Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all
amounts previously paid with respect to such Bond on account of principal [and
the aggregate amount of cumulative Realized Losses allocated to such Bond] on
all prior Payment Dates.][The "Notional Amount" of this Bond, immediately prior
to the related Payment Date, for the for the February 2005 Payment Date, is
$1,250,000,000, for the March 2005 Payment Date, $1,186,829,271, for the April

July 2005 Payment Date, $[_______], and for each Payment Date thereafter, $0]
The [principal of, and] interest on[,] this Bond [are][is] due and payable
as described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Bond shall
be equal to this Bond's pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class
[_-A-_] Bonds as described above, and shall be applied as [between] interest
[and principal] as provided in the Indenture. [In addition, any payments
received by the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Guaranty Agreement shall be
paid to the Holders of this Bond pursuant to Section 3.30 of the Indenture.]
All [principal and] interest accrued on the Bonds, if not previously paid,
will become finally due and payable at the Final Scheduled Payment Date.
The Bonds, other than the Class A-IO-1 Bonds and Class A-IO-2 Bonds, are
subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, by the Majority
Certificateholder on any Payment Date on or after the earlier of (i) the Payment
Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of
the end of the prior Due Period is less than or equal to 20% of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of Cut-off Date and the
aggregate amount deposited into the Group 1 Pre-Funding Account and Group 2
Pre-Funding Account on the Closing Date and (ii) the Payment Date in January
2015.
The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the
Bonds except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which
constitutes security for the payment of the Bonds. The assets included in the
Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class [_-A-_] Bonds, and
each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Bond, agrees that (i) such Bond
will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate
as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, IMH Assets Corp., Impac
Mortgage Holdings, Inc., the Master Servicer or any of their respective
affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing entities, except the assets
of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class [_-A-_] Bonds pursuant to the
Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the Indenture.
Any payment of [principal or] interest payable on this Bond which is
punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name such Bond is registered at the close of business on the Record Date
for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person's address as it appears in
the Bond Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of
[principal and] interest payable with respect to such Bond, which shall be
payable as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request
with appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Bond delivered to the
Indenture Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any
payment of [principal or] interest, other than the final installment of
[principal or interest], shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the
United States designated by such Holder. All scheduled reductions in the
[principal amount][Notional
A-1-3
Amount] of a Bond (or one or more predecessor Bonds) effected by payments of
principal made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this
Bond and of any bond issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in
exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on
such Bond. The final payment of this Bond shall be payable upon presentation and
surrender thereof on or after the Payment Date thereof at the Corporate Trust
Office or the office or agency of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose
pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Indenture.
Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Bond delivered under the
Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any
other Bond shall carry the right to unpaid [principal and] interest that were
carried by such other Bond.
If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be
continuing with respect to the Bonds, the Bonds may become or be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any
such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid
Bond Principal Balance of the Bonds, the amount payable to the Holder of this
Bond will be equal to [the sum of the unpaid Bond Principal Balance of the
Bonds, together with] accrued and unpaid interest [thereon] [on the Notional
Amount] as described in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that,
notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Bonds, under certain
circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust
Estate securing the Bonds or otherwise shall continue to be applied to payments
of [principal of and] interest on the Bonds as if they had not been declared due
and payable.
The failure to pay any Unpaid Interest Shortfall at any time when funds
are not available to make such payment as provided in the Indenture shall not
constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture.
The Holder of this Bond or Beneficial Owner of any interest herein is
deemed to represent that either (1) it is not acquiring the Bond with Plan
Assets or (2) (A) the acquisition, holding and transfer of a Bond will not give
rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and (B) the Bonds are rated investment grade or better
and such person agrees to treat them as indebtedness for federal income tax
purposes. Alternatively, regardless of the rating of such Bonds, such person may
provide the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee with an opinion of counsel,
which opinion of counsel will not be at the expense of the Issuer, the Seller,
any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or any successor servicer which opines that the acquisition,
holding and transfer of such Bond or interest therein is permissible under
applicable law, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the
Issuer, the Seller, the Depositor, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any successor servicer
to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Indenture.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Bond may be registered on the Bond Register of
the Issuer. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of, or presentation of a
written instrument of transfer for, this Bond at the
A-1-4
office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, accompanied
by proper instruments of assignment in form satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee, one or more new Bonds of any authorized denominations and of a like
aggregate initial [Bond Principal Balance][Notional Amount], will be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Bond,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner
of such Bond (i) on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of making
payments and interest of such Bond, and (ii) on any other date for all other
purposes whatsoever, as the owner hereof, whether or not this Bond be overdue,
and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent of the Issuer
or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Bonds under the Indenture at any
time by the Issuer and the Holders of a majority of all Bonds at the time
outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
Bonds representing specified percentages of the aggregate Bond Principal Balance
and Notional Amount of the Bonds on behalf of the Holders of all the Bonds, to
waive any past Default under the Indenture and its consequences. Any such waiver
by the Holder, at the time of the giving thereof, of this Bond (or any one or
more predecessor Bonds) shall bind the Holder of every Bond issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether
or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon such Bond. The Indenture
also permits the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain
terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the
Holders of the Bonds issued thereunder.
Initially, the Bonds will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as
nominee of DTC, acting in its capacity as the Depository for the Bonds. The
Bonds will be delivered by the clearing agency in denominations as provided in
the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. The Bonds
are exchangeable for a like aggregate initial [Bond Principal Balance][Notional
Amount] of Bonds of different authorized denominations, as requested by the
Holder surrendering same.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the
Indenture Trustee by manual signature, this Bond shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE, THIS BOND AND THE INDENTURE CREATING THIS
BOND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN.

the principal sum of ______________________________ ($___________) in monthly
installments on the twenty-fifth day of each month or, if such day is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a "Payment Date"),
commencing in November 2004 and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring
in _____________ (the "Final Scheduled Payment Date") and to pay interest on the
Bond Principal Balance of this Bond (this "Bond") outstanding from time to time
as provided below.
This Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer's Collateralized
Asset-Backed Bonds, Series 2005-1 (the "Bonds"), issued under an Indenture dated
as of January 28, 2005 (the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank
National Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the "Indenture Trustee", which
term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, and the Holders of the Bonds and the terms upon which the Bonds are to
be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Bond which are defined in
the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
Payments of principal and interest on this Bond will be made on each
Payment Date to the Bondholder of record as of the related Record Date. The
"Bond Principal Balance" of a Bond as of any date of determination is equal to
the initial Bond Principal Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all
amounts previously paid with respect to such Bond on account of principal and
the aggregate amount of cumulative Realized Losses allocated to such Bond on all
prior Payment Dates.
The principal of, and interest on, this Bond are due and payable as
described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Bond shall
be equal to this Bond's pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class
M-[_]-[_] Bonds as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and
principal as provided in the Indenture.
A-2-2
All principal and interest accrued on the Bonds, if not previously paid,
will become finally due and payable at the Final Scheduled Payment Date.
The Bonds are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, by the
Majority Certificateholder on any Payment Date on or after the earlier of (i)
the Payment Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans is less than or equal to 20% of aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of Cut-off Date and the aggregate amount deposited into the
Group 1 Pre-Funding Account and Group 2 Pre-Funding Amount on the Closing Date
and (ii) the Payment Date in January 2015.
The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the
Bonds except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which
constitutes security for the payment of the Bonds. The assets included in the
Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class M-[_]-[_] Bonds,
and each Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Bond, agrees that (i) such
Bond will be limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust
Estate as provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse
to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, IMH Assets Corp., Impac
Mortgage Holdings, Inc., the Master Servicer or any of their respective
affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing entities, except the assets
of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class M-[_]-[_] Bonds pursuant to the
Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the Indenture.
Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Bond which is
punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name such Xxxx is registered at the close of business on the Record Date
for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person's address as it appears in
the Bond Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of
principal and interest payable with respect to such Bond, which shall be payable
as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with
appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Bond delivered to the Indenture
Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of
principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or
interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States
designated by such Xxxxxx. All reductions in the principal amount of a Bond (or
one or more predecessor Bonds) effected by payments of principal made on any
Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Bond and of any bond
issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in
lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Bond. The final
payment of this Bond shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on
or after the Payment Date thereof at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or
agency of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.02
of the Indenture.
Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Bond delivered under the
Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any
other Bond shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were
carried by such other Bond.
If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be
continuing with respect to the Bonds, the Bonds may become or be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any
such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid
Bond Principal Balance of the Bonds, the amount payable to the
A-2-3
Holder of this Bond will be equal to the sum of the unpaid Bond Principal
Balance of the Bonds, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as
described in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that, notwithstanding the
acceleration of the maturity of the Bonds, under certain circumstances specified
therein, all amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust Estate securing the
Bonds or otherwise shall continue to be applied to payments of principal of and
interest on the Bonds as if they had not been declared due and payable.
The failure to pay any Unpaid Interest Shortfall at any time when funds
are not available to make such payment as provided in the Indenture shall not
constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Bond may be registered on the Bond Register of
the Issuer. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of, or presentation of a
written instrument of transfer for, this Bond at the office or agency designated
by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, accompanied by proper instruments of
assignment in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, one or more new Bonds
of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate initial Bond Principal
Balance, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Bond,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Bond is registered as the owner
of such Bond (i) on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of making
payments and interest of such Bond, and (ii) on any other date for all other
purposes whatsoever, as the owner hereof, whether or not this Bond be overdue,
and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent of the Issuer
or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Bonds under the Indenture at any
time by the Issuer and the Holders of a majority of all Bonds at the time
outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
Bonds representing specified percentages of the aggregate Bond Principal Balance
of the Bonds on behalf of the Holders of all the Bonds, to waive any past
Default under the Indenture and its consequences. Any such waiver by the Holder,
at the time of the giving thereof, of this Bond (or any one or more predecessor
Bonds) shall bind the Holder of every Bond issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation
of such consent or waiver is made upon such Bond. The Indenture also permits the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions
set forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Holders of the Bonds
issued thereunder.
Initially, the Bonds will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as
nominee of DTC, acting in its capacity as the Depository for the Bonds. The
Bonds will be delivered by the clearing agency in denominations as provided in
the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. The Bonds
are exchangeable for a like aggregate initial Bond Principal Balance of Bonds of
different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering
same.

as provided below.
This Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer's Collateralized

Mortgage Loans as of Cut-off Date and the aggregate amount deposited into the
Group 1 Pre-Funding Account and Group 2 Pre-Funding Account on the Closing Date

other Bond shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were
carried by such other Bond.
If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be
