ARTICLE II CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, does hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign, set over and
otherwise convey to the Trustee without recourse, representation or warranty
(except as provided herein) all of the right, title and interest of the
Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans and any other assets constituting part of
the Trust Fund, to have and to hold, in trust, and the Trustee declares that,
subject to the review provided for in Section 2.2, it has received and shall
hold the Trust Fund as Trustee, in trust, for the benefit and use of the Holders
of the Certificates and for the purposes and subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement.
In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does
hereby deliver to, and deposit with, the Trustee (with copies to the Servicer)
the Mortgage Documents.
Promptly following such transfer and assignment, the Trustee shall
release to the Servicer the unrecorded Assignments. The Servicer shall hold the
Assignments in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Servicer, at
the expense of the Depositor, shall, within 30 days of the Closing Date, or,
with respect to recently originated Mortgage Loans as to which the Servicer has
not received, as of the Closing Date, recording information for the related
Mortgage, within 30 days of receipt of such recording information, cause such
Assignments to be duly submitted for recording in the name of the Trustee in the
appropriate records depository for the jurisdictions in which the Mortgaged
Properties are located and shall cause the receipt evidencing submission for
recording and the Assignments after recordation to be delivered to the Trustee
promptly upon the release thereof to the Servicer. To the extent it has not
previously done so, the Servicer will cause appropriate filings reflecting the
March 1996 change in Xxxxxx Corporation's name to Bluegreen Corporation to be
duly submitted for recording in the appropriate records depository for the
jurisdictions in which the Mortgaged Properties are located and shall cause the
receipt evidencing submission for recording and the filings after recordation to
be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon release thereof to the Servicer. The
Trustee shall hold legal title to the Mortgage Loans as trustee for the benefit
of the Certificateholders.
The ownership of the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages and the other
Mortgage Documents is vested in the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. The Depositor, Bluegreen and the Servicer agree to take no
action inconsistent with the Trustee's ownership of the Mortgage Loans and to
promptly indicate to all inquiring parties that the Mortgage Loans have been
sold and to claim no ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans, other than in
connection with a repurchase or substitution of a Defective Mortgage Loan by
Bluegreen.
The parties intend that the conveyance of the Depositor's right, title
and interest in and to the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall
constitute, and shall be construed as, a purchase and sale and not a pledge of
security for a loan. However, if such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge for a
loan, the parties intend that the rights and obligations of the parties to such
loan shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Depositor
shall be deemed to have granted and the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders a first perfected priority security
interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under
the Mortgage Loans and the balance of the Trust Fund, all payments of principal
of or interest on such Mortgage Loans, all other payments made in respect of
such Mortgage Loans and all accounts and funds established pursuant to this
Agreement, and all proceeds thereof, to secure the payment of the Certificates
and the obligations of the Depositor to the Trustee under this Agreement, and
this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. If
such conveyance is deemed to be a loan and the trust created by this Agreement
terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person in any
Certificates, the security interest created hereby shall continue in full force
and effect, and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the
benefit of such Person, and all proceeds shall be distributed as provided
herein.
Within 10 Business Days after the Closing Date, Bluegreen will send, or
cause to be sent, written notice to each Obligor of the sale, transfer and
assignment of the related Mortgage Loan to the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Servicer and
the Trustee will enter into a lock-box arrangement with Fleet Bank pursuant to
which (a) all Obligors under the Mortgage Loans who do not utilize Bluegreen's
"pre-authorized checking" payment program will be instructed to mail all
payments on the Mortgage Loans to a lock-box maintained by the Trustee with such
bank and (b) such bank will perform customary lock-box services and all funds
received from Obligors will be deposited into the Collection Account. Certain of
the Obligors utilize Bluegreen's "pre-authorized checking" program pursuant to
which Fleet Bank automatically charges the applicable Obligor's account for
payments owed under the Mortgage Loans. On the Closing Date, the Servicer shall
direct Fleet Bank to cause all funds received by such bank regarding the
Mortgage Loans under such "pre-authorized checking" program to be deposited into
the Collection Account. As contemplated in Article III below, from time to time
the Servicer will make Monthly Advances and deposit the amount thereof into the
Collection Account. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer and the
Trustee will enter into a lock-box agreement and an automated wire transfer
agreement with Fleet Bank in the form attached hereto as collective Exhibit E.
Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer will amend such agreements without the
prior written consent of the Holders of Certificates representing a majority of
the principal balance of the Controlling Class. To the extent Fleet Bank elects
to terminate either of such agreements, the Servicer will use commercially
reasonable efforts to find a successor bank and cause the Obligors on the
Mortgage Loans to remit payments to such successor as soon as is reasonably
practicable.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the Mortgage Documents delivered
pursuant to Section 2.1, subject to the Trustee's review thereof under this
Section 2.2, and declares that the Trustee holds and will hold such documents in
trust, upon the terms herein set forth, for the use and benefit of the
Certificateholders. The Trustee does not have any actual knowledge of any
adverse claims, liens or encumbrances on any of the assets so delivered,
including without limitation, federal tax liens or liens arising under ERISA.
The Trustee shall execute and deliver to Bluegreen, the Depositor and TIAA on
the Closing Date the Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit
I-1 to the effect that it has received the documents referred to in the
definition of "Mortgage Documents" pertaining to each Mortgage Loan listed on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to its further review of the Mortgage
Documents pursuant to Section 2.2.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review
the Mortgage Documents within 45 days after the Closing Date to ascertain that
(i) all the Mortgage Documents required to be delivered by Section 2.1 have been
executed and received, (ii) the Mortgages and Assignments have been sent to be
filed or recorded or, if certified copies of any Mortgages or Assignments are
delivered to the Trustee on the Closing Date in accordance with the definition
of "Mortgage Documents" or "Assignment," that such certified copies have been
received by the Trustee, (iii) such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans, and
(iv) based on its examination and only as to the documents that it has indicated
are in its possession, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
with respect to clauses (ii) (as to name only), (iii), (iv), (vi), (x), (xii),
(xiv) and (xv) of the definition of Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects
the information set forth in the Mortgage Documents relating to the respective
Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee shall deliver to Bluegreen, the Depositor, TIAA
and the Servicer (if other than Bluegreen) an Interim Certification, in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit I-2, to the foregoing effect. In so doing the Trustee
may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and
on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. The Trustee shall have no
responsibility for reviewing any Mortgage Document except as expressly set forth
in this Section 2.2. The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to
inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments or certificates to
independently determine that they are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for
the represented purpose, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in
proper or recordable form (except, if applicable, to determine if the Trustee is
the assignee or endorsee or if the endorsement or assignment on the Mortgage
Note conforms to the requirements of the definition of "Mortgage Documents"),
whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of
any applicable jurisdiction, or to independently determine that any document has
actually been filed or recorded or that any document is other than what it
purports to be on its face.
Prior to the 9-month anniversary date of the Closing Date, the Trustee
shall deliver to Bluegreen, the Depositor, TIAA and the Servicer (if other than
Bluegreen) a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit I-3
evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Documents required to be delivered
pursuant to Section 2.1 and certifying that the Mortgages and Assignments and
the name change filing referred to in Section 2.1 have all been filed or
recorded.
If the Trustee finds any document constituting a part of the Mortgage
Documents not to have been executed, recorded, delivered or received pursuant to
the terms hereof or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans or to be otherwise
missing or defective (that is, mutilated, damaged, defaced, incomplete,
improperly dated, clearly forged or otherwise physically altered) in any respect
which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders,
the Trustee shall promptly (and in any event within five Business Days after
such discovery) notify Bluegreen thereof. Within 60 days from the date it was
notified of such omission or defect, Bluegreen shall, at its option, (i) cure
such omission or defect in all material respects; (ii) repurchase the Mortgage
Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3; or (iii) substitute in
place of the related Mortgage Loan a Qualified Replacement Mortgage Loan or
Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of Bluegreen to cure (in the manner provided above)
any material defect in or omission of a constituent document with respect to a
Mortgage Loan shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect or
omission available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of
Certificateholders.
Bluegreen hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee that:
(a) With respect to each individual Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off
Date, or as of the date such Mortgage Loan is deposited in the Trust Fund in the
case of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage Loan:
(1) The information set forth on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule is complete, true and correct as of
the Cut-off Date;
(2) Immediately prior to the transfer of such Mortgage
Loan to the Trustee, the Depositor had good and
marketable title to the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage, and was the sole owner and holder of the
Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens,
claims, encumbrances, participation interests,
equities, pledges, charges or security interests of
any nature and had full right and authority, subject
to no interest or participation of, or agreement
with, any other party, to sell and assign the same
pursuant to this Agreement. The Depositor has validly
and effectively transferred or caused to be
transferred the Mortgage Loan to the Trustee, free
and clear of any and all liens, claims, encumbrances,
participation interests, equities, pledges, charges
or security interests of any nature;
(3) The Mortgage securing such Mortgage Loan has been
duly recorded or submitted for recording in the
proper public office and is a valid and enforceable
first lien on the fee simple interest in the property
therein described, and the Mortgaged Property is free
and clear of all encumbrances and liens having
priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject
only to taxes and assessments not yet due and
payable, and covenants, conditions and restrictions,
rights of way, easements and other matters of public
record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage,
such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable
to mortgage lending institutions generally;
(4) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have

been recorded, if necessary to protect the interest
of Certificateholders and which has been delivered to
the Trustee, or except as is otherwise reflected in
the Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(5) No instrument of release or waiver has been executed
in connection with the Mortgage Loan, and no Obligor
has been released, in whole or in part, except in
connection with an assumption agreement which has
been delivered to the Trustee, except as is otherwise
reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(6) All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance
premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges,
leasehold payments or ground rents which previously
became due and owing have been paid (it being
understood that Bluegreen does not escrow for such
matters);

Bluegreen's knowledge, threatened for the total or
partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property, nor
is such a proceeding currently occurring, and, to the
best of Bluegreen's knowledge, such property is
undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth
movement, windstorm, flood or other casualty, so as
to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged
Property as security for the Mortgage Loan;
(8) To the best of Bluegreen's knowledge, there are no
mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been
filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are
outstanding that under law could give rise to such
lien) affecting the Mortgaged Property which are, or
may be, liens prior or equal to, or coordinate with,
the lien of the Mortgage;
(9) All of the improvements which were included for the
purpose of determining the Appraised Value of the
Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries
and building restriction lines of such property and
do not encroach upon easements burdening the
Mortgaged Property, and, to the best of Bluegreen's
knowledge, no improvements on adjoining properties
encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged
Property fronts on and is contiguous to a public road
or easements or other legal rights benefit the
Mortgaged Property which allow access thereto. The
Mortgaged Property either has all necessary permits
and approvals for ingress to and egress from the
Mortgaged Property over such public road or easements
or other legal rights benefit the Mortgaged Property
which allow access to such public road;
(10) To the best of Bluegreen's knowledge, no
improvement located on or being part of the
Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable
zoning law or regulation;
(11) To the extent required under applicable law,
Bluegreen and its Affiliates, and, to the best of
Bluegreen's knowledge, each other mortgagee under the
Mortgage was authorized to transact and do business
and was properly licensed in each jurisdiction in
which such authorization is necessary for Bluegreen,
such Affiliates or such mortgagee to transact and do
business at all times when it held the Mortgage Loan;
(12) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are
genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally, and to
general principles of equity. All parties to the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to
execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and each
Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been duly and
properly executed by such parties;
(13) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or
local law including, without limitation, usury,
truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures,
consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity
or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan or
the sale of the Mortgaged Property have been complied
with in all material respects, and Bluegreen shall
maintain in its possession evidence of compliance
with all such requirements;

fully disbursed, there is no requirement for future
advances thereunder and any and all requirements as
to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements
and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor
have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses
incurred in making, or closing or recording the
Mortgage Loans were paid or will be paid;
(15) No Mortgage Loan is more than 30 days delinquent, and
there is no other default, breach, violation or event
of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the
related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the
passage of time or with notice and the expiration of
any grace or cure period, would constitute a default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration; and
neither Bluegreen nor any of its Affiliates have
waived any default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration, except any default, breach, violation
or event of acceleration as may have been previously
cured by the related Obligor;
(16) The Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense,
including the defense of usury, nor will the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or
the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right
thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or
subject to any right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, and no such right or rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense has been asserted with
respect thereto;
(17) The related Mortgage Note is payable in
self-amortizing monthly installments of principal and
interest, with interest payable in arrears, over an
original term of not more than 10 years. The current
Mortgage Interest Rate borne by the related Mortgage
Note is not less than 10.5% and not greater than
15.9%. The weighted average Mortgage Interest Rate on
the fixed rate Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date
was 10.75%. Subject to any floors and usury limits,
the Mortgage Interest Rate on an adjustable-rate
Mortgage Note is subject to adjustment on each Rate
Adjustment Date to a new Mortgage Interest Rate equal

Date, no adjustable-rate Mortgage Loan had a Floor
Interest Rate below 12.9%. With respect to each
adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, any previous interest
rate adjustments have been made in compliance with
the applicable Mortgage Documents and law. With
respect to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, on
each Rate Adjustment Date, the Obligor's new Periodic
Payment with respect to each such Mortgage Loan will
be adjusted annually to an amount equal to the
payment which, when paid in substantially equal
installments during the then remaining term of such
Mortgage Loan, would amortize fully the unpaid
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan at the then
applicable Mortgage Interest Rate. No such Mortgage
Loan contains terms or provisions that could result
in negative amortization;
(18) The related Mortgage Note is not and has not been
secured by any collateral except the lien of the
corresponding Mortgage, other than any guarantee of
the Mortgage Loan;

realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
benefits of the security, including, (i) in the case
of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by
trustee's sale and (ii) in all other cases, by
judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other
exemption available to the Mortgagor which would
interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged
Property at a trustee's sale or the right to
foreclose the Mortgage;

payments of other charges or payments due Bluegreen
or any of its Affiliates have been capitalized under
the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note;
(24) The origination, collection and other servicing
practices used by Bluegreen and its Affiliates with
respect to the Mortgage Loan have been in all
material respects legal, proper, prudent and
customary in the mortgage servicing business for
mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans;
(25) The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment and
any other documents required to be delivered pursuant
to Section 2.1 with respect to the Mortgage Loan have
been delivered to the Trustee;
(26) Other than the Monthly Advance provided for in
Section 4.2, there is no obligation on the part of
Bluegreen or any other Person to make supplemental
payments in addition to those made by the Obligor or
co-obligor or any guarantor;
(27) There is no pledged account or other security other
than real estate securing the Obligor's obligations
other than any guarantee of the Mortgage Loan.
Neither Bluegreen nor any Affiliate thereof,
including the Depositor, has guaranteed the Mortgage
Loan;
(28) No adjustable-rate Mortgage Loan contains a provision
allowing the related Obligor to convert such Mortgage
Loan into a fixed-rate Mortgage Loan;
(29) The Mortgaged Property consists of an estate in fee

of the Closing Date be) secured by Mortgaged
Properties that are covered by a title insurance
policy. Each such title insurance policy will be in
full force and effect upon the consummation of
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or within
45 days thereafter; no claims have been made under
such title insurance policy; full premiums for the
policy, endorsements or all special endorsements have
been paid; and no prior holder of the related
Mortgage, including Bluegreen or any Affiliate
thereof, has done anything, by act or omission, or
possessed any knowledge of any matter, which would
impair or diminish the coverage of such title
insurance policy;
(31) Other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan which is
delinquent less than 30 days, Bluegreen has no actual
knowledge of any circumstances with respect to the
Obligor, the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property or any
guarantor of any Mortgage Loan that can reasonably be
expected to cause such Mortgage Loan to become
delinquent;
(32) There is no current obligation on the part of any
person to make payments on behalf of the Obligor in
respect of the Mortgage Loan except that there may be
a guarantor who is guaranteeing full and timely
payment of the Mortgage Loan until the maturity
thereof. No such guarantor has been released from
such guarantee and no such release is contemplated;
(33) The Mortgage Note has been or will prior to the
Closing Date be endorsed pursuant to the requirements
of the definition of "Mortgage Documents" and Section
2.1 and, together with the Mortgage, the Assignment
and any other documents required to be delivered
under this Agreement, have been or will prior to the
Closing Date be delivered to the Trustee. The
Servicer is in possession of all documents relating
to the Mortgage, other than the Mortgage Documents
and any other documents held by the Trustee, or which
have been sent for recording and have not been
returned by the applicable public recording office,
and there are no custodial agreements in effect
adversely affecting the right or ability of the
Trustee to receive the deliveries required under this
Agreement;
(34) To the best of Bluegreen's knowledge, the Mortgaged

products, explosives, radioactive materials,
hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, hazardous or
toxic substance, polychlorinated biphenyls or related
or similar materials, asbestos or any material
containing asbestos, or any other substance or
material as may be defined as a hazardous or toxic
substance by any Federal, state or local
environmental law, ordinance, rule, or regulation
("Hazardous Materials") in violation of any such
Federal, state or local environmental law, ordinance,
rule or regulation. To the best of Bluegreen's
knowledge, no Hazardous Materials have ever been
installed, placed, or in any manner dealt with on the
Mortgaged Property in violation of any such Federal,
state or local environmental law, ordinance, rule or
regulation. To the best of Bluegreen's knowledge, no
owner, including Bluegreen or any Affiliate thereof,
operator or manager of the Mortgaged Property or any
tenant, subtenant, occupant, prior tenant, prior
subtenant, prior occupant or Person (collectively,
"Occupant") has received any notice or advice from
any governmental agency or any Occupant with regard
to Hazardous Materials on, from or affecting the
Mortgaged Property; and

(3) Approximately 94.29% of the Mortgage Loans (by
Cut-off Date Principal Balance) contain a provision
whereby Bluegreen or an Affiliate has the right to
draw the Obligor's Periodic Payment directly from the
Obligor's bank account (it being understood that each
Obligor who has elected to participate in such
pre-authorized payment program may elect to cease
such participation at any time and that, if the
Obligor fails to maintain sufficient collected funds
to cover withdrawals the holder of the Mortgage Loan
may elect to terminate such participation);
(4) No Mortgage Loan had a principal balance at

instrumentality, domestic or foreign, pending, or to
the knowledge of any of such Persons probable of
assertion, against Bluegreen or any of its

any of which individually or in the aggregate could
reasonably be expected to (i) result in any material
adverse change in the business, operations,
properties, assets or condition (financial or

With respect to the representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 2.3(a)(6), (7) (second clause only), (8), (9), (10), (11) and (34) or
elsewhere in Section 2.3 that are made to the best of Bluegreen's knowledge or
as to which Bluegreen has no knowledge, if it is discovered by Bluegreen, the
Servicer or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty
is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the interests
of the Certificateholders in a Mortgage Loan then, notwithstanding Bluegreen's
lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and
warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation or warranty was made,
such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or
warranty.
(d) It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in this Section 2.3 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Loans to
the Trustee. Upon discovery by any of Bluegreen, the Servicer or the Trustee of
a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in a Mortgage
Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the
other. Within 60 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of breach, or,
with the prior written consent of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and, for
so long as the Class A Certificates are outstanding, the Holders of Certificates
representing a majority of the Class A Principal Balance, such longer period
specified in such consent (a copy of which shall be provided by the Trustee to
the Rating Agency), Bluegreen shall, at its option (i) cure such breach in all
material respects; (ii) repurchase the related Mortgage Loan; or (iii)
substitute in place of such Mortgage Loan a Qualified Replacement Mortgage Loan
or Loans provided such a substitution may only be effected prior to the second
anniversary of the Closing Date and subject to Section 2.3(f). Any repurchase
shall be accomplished by Bluegreen depositing in the Collection Account the
Purchase Price for the appropriate Mortgage Loan within such 60 day period (or
such longer period as may be specified in the Trustee's consent) and, with
respect to the calculation of the Purchase Price and transfer of the Mortgage
Loan to Bluegreen, such repurchase shall be deemed to have occurred as of the
Business Day preceding the Remittance Date next following such deposit. The
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any breach of the foregoing
representations unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate
Trust Office has actual knowledge of such breach or receives written notice of
such breach from Bluegreen or the Holders of Certificates of any Class
evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than
25%. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in
the event that it is discovered that a Mortgage Loan is in breach of the
representations contained in Section 2.3(a)(3), or otherwise is not a "qualified
mortgage" within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, Bluegreen shall, in all
events, cure such breach or repurchase or substitute such Mortgage Loan, as
described above, within 90 days of the date of discovery of such breach.
(e) In the event of a substitution of a Defective Mortgage Loan, as to
any Qualified Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, Bluegreen shall deliver to the
Trustee for such Qualified Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans the Mortgage Note,
the Mortgage, the related Assignment, and such other documents and agreements as
are required by Section 2.1 within the 60-day period (or such longer period as
may be specified in the Trustee's consent) referred to in subsection (d) of this
Section 2.3 and such substitution shall be deemed to have occurred as of the
Business Day preceding the Remittance Date next following such delivery. For any
month during which Bluegreen substitutes one or more Qualified Replacement
Mortgage Loans, Bluegreen shall determine the amount, if any, by which (i) the
sum of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balances of all such Qualified
Replacement Mortgage Loans is less than (ii) the aggregate Purchase Prices for
the related Defective Mortgage Loans had such Mortgage Loans been purchased on
the Business Day next preceding the Remittance Date next following such
substitution. The amount of such shortfall for any month computed by Bluegreen
shall be deposited by it in the Collection Account on the Business Day next
preceding the Remittance Date. All amounts received in respect of the Qualified
Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans excluded from the Cut-off Date Principal
Balance shall not be deposited by Bluegreen in the Collection Account. All
amounts included in the Cut-off Date Principal Balance and received by the
Servicer shall be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account. Upon such
substitution, the Qualified Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject
to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and Bluegreen shall be deemed to
have made with respect to such Qualified Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, as
of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set
forth in this Section.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right to
substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Article II shall be subject to the
additional limitations that any substitution of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage
Loan for a Defective Mortgage Loan shall be made within 90 days of the Closing
Date, unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of
Bluegreen) that, under the current law, such substitution will not either (A)
affect adversely the status of the Trust REMIC as a REMIC, or of the Class A and
Class B Certificates as "regular interests" in the Trust REMIC or (B) cause the
Trust REMIC to be subject to a "prohibited transaction tax" pursuant to Section
860F of the Code or "prohibited contribution tax" pursuant to Section 860G(d) of
the Code.
(g) In addition to the obligation of Bluegreen to cure, substitute for
(to the extent permitted herein) or repurchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a
breach under this Section 2.3 occurred and is continuing, Bluegreen shall
indemnify the Trustee and the Certificateholders and hold them harmless against
any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related
costs, judgments and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand,
defense or assertion made by an Obligor to the extent resulting from a breach of
any representation or warranty contained in this Section 2.3. It is understood
and agreed that the above obligations of Bluegreen shall constitute the sole
remedies respecting such breach available to Certificateholders or the Trustee
on behalf of Certificateholders, and that the Certificates are not and shall not
be obligations of Bluegreen, the Depositor or any of their respective
Affiliates. Nothing contained herein shall limit the rights of the Trustee under
Section 9.5.
. The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund
and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has caused to be executed,
countersigned and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange
for the Trust Fund, Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the
entire ownership of the Trust Fund.
ARTICLE III ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of
the Trustee and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and legal,
proper, prudent and customary standards of practice in the mortgage servicing
business for mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans and with a view to the
maximization of timely recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans
but without regard to (i) any relationship that the Servicer or any Affiliate of
the Servicer may have with any Mortgagor or any Affiliate of any Mortgagor; (ii)
the ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any Affiliate of the
Servicer; (iii) the Servicer's obligations to make Monthly Advances or to incur
servicing expenses with respect to the Mortgage Loans; or (iv) the Servicer's
right to receive compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any
particular transaction. Subject to the above-described servicing standards
(herein referred to as "Accepted Servicing Practices") and the terms of this
Agreement (and in particular Section 11.3) and of the Mortgage Loans, the
Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in
connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or
desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby
authorized and empowered by the Trustee, to determine the amount, and notify the
related Obligor, of any changes to the Mortgage Interest Rate of an
adjustable-rate Mortgage Loan as fully as if the Servicer were the holder of the
related Mortgage Note, and to execute and deliver, on behalf of itself, the
Certificateholders, the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all
other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with
respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Trustee shall execute and deliver to
the Servicer any such documents as are provided to the Trustee which are
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder.
The relationship of the Servicer to the Trustee under this Agreement is
intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of
a joint venturer, partner or agent.
All costs incurred by the Servicer in effecting the timely payment of
taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties underlying the Mortgage Loans
shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage
Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit, and such
costs shall be recoverable by the Servicer to the extent permitted by Section
3.4.
The Servicer is hereby directed that with respect to any adjustable
rate Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall not increase the Mortgage Interest Rate,
on a Rate Adjustment Date, to a rate that would violate applicable usury laws,
but will instead increase such Mortgage Interest Rate to the maximum rate
allowable under such usury laws.
Section 3.2 Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments; Collection
Account; Certificate Account; Reserve . (a) The Servicer shall proceed
diligently to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of
the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent
with this Agreement, follow such collection procedures as it follows with
respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans in its servicing
portfolio. Subject to Section 11.3 and consistent with the foregoing, the
Servicer may in its discretion waive any late payment charge or any assumption
fees or other fees which may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing
such Mortgage Loan.
(b) On or before the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish and
maintain one or more Collection Accounts, each of which shall be an Eligible
Account, into which the Servicer shall within two (2) Business Days of the
Closing Date deposit any amounts representing Periodic Payments due after the
Cut-off Date but received before the Closing Date and any Principal Prepayments
received after the Cut-off Date but before the Closing Date. As provided in
Section 2.1, the Servicer shall direct all Obligors who do not utilize
Bluegreen's "pre-authorized checking" program to make their payments directly to
a lock-box maintained by the Trustee with Fleet Bank; all such payments shall be
deposited into the Collection Account. In addition, as provided in Section 2.1,
the Servicer shall direct Fleet Bank (which administers Bluegreen's
"pre-authorized checking" program) to cause all payments made by Obligors
regarding the Mortgage Loans who utilize Bluegreen's "pre-authorized checking"
program to be deposited into the Collection Account. To the extent it receives
funds, the Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account within two
Business Days the following payments and collections received or made by it
(other than in respect of principal of and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on
or before the Cut-off Date):
(i) All payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, received from, or on behalf of, the related Obligor;
(ii) All payments on account of interest at the Mortgage
Interest Rate on each Mortgage Loan received from, or on behalf of, the related
Obligor (net of the Servicing Fee);
(iii) All Liquidation Proceeds received by the Servicer with
respect to each Mortgage Loan;
(iv) All Insurance Proceeds which are not Liquidation Proceeds
(including, for this purpose, any amounts required to be deposited by the
Servicer pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.5), other than proceeds to
be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related
Mortgage or released to the related Obligor in accordance with the normal
servicing procedures of the Servicer;
(v) The Purchase Price for any Defective Mortgage Loan
repurchased pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3, or, if applicable, any
Substitution Adjustment, pursuant to said Sections;
(vi) All Monthly Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 4.2; and
(vii) The purchase price for the Mortgage Loans repurchased
pursuant to Section 10.1.
The foregoing requirements respecting deposits by the Servicer into the
Collection Account are exclusive, it being understood that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Servicer need not deposit into the Collection
Account amounts representing fees or late charge penalties payable by Obligors,
which the Servicer is entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation,
or any amounts received by the Servicer for the account of Obligors for
application towards the payment of taxes, insurance premiums, assessments and
similar items.
Within two Business Days of receipt, and no later than the Business Day
prior to each Remittance Date, all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account
shall be remitted to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account by
wire transfer in immediately available funds.
Amounts held in the Collection Account and the Certificate Account may
be invested in one or more Permitted Investments in the name of the Trustee, as
trustee, in accordance with written instructions from Bluegreen. (It is
understood that it is anticipated that amounts held in the Collection Account
will not be invested.) Such Permitted Investments shall mature no later than the
Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date following such
investment. Any investment earnings on funds in the Collection Account and the
Certificate Account (net of losses) shall, subject to the terms of this
Agreement, remain in the Trust Fund. Realized losses, if any, on amounts
invested in the Collection Account and the Certificate Account shall be credited
against amounts in the Collection Account and the Certificate Account for
determining the Amount Available on the Remittance Date following such
investment. Permitted Investments of amounts held in the Collection Account and
the Certificate Account shall be held until maturity.
(c) On or before the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish the
Certificate Account. The Certificate Account shall at all times be an interest
bearing Eligible Account and shall relate solely to the Certificates and the
Trustee shall have the exclusive right to withdraw funds therefrom. The
Certificate Account shall be part of both BRT and the Trust Fund. The Trustee
shall deposit into the Certificate Account on the Business Day received all
moneys remitted by the Collection Account bank or the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.2(b). The Trustee shall make withdrawals from the Certificate Account
only for the following purposes:
(i) to withdraw amounts deposited in the Certificate Account
in error;
(ii) to make distributions to the Certificateholders pursuant
to Section 5.1;
(iii) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account pursuant
to Section 10.1; and
(iv) to make distributions pursuant to Section 3.4.
(d) On or before the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish the
Reserve Account. Amounts held in the Reserve Account shall be invested in one or
more Permitted Investments in the name of the Trustee, as trustee, in accordance
with written instructions from the Servicer, provided that the Reserve Account
shall not be invested in a manner that would result in more than thirty percent
of its gross income for any taxable year being derived from the sale or other
disposition of property held for less than three months, except as may otherwise
be permitted by Section 860G(a)(7)(C) of the Code. Such Permitted Investments
shall be held for investment purposes only, and shall mature no later than the
Business Day immediately preceding the Remittance Date following such
investment. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall be
additional servicing compensation for the Servicer and shall be subject to its
withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in
respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the Reserve Account by the
Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized. The Trustee shall not be
liable for any losses on amounts invested in accordance with the provisions
hereof. In no event, however, shall any withdrawal from the Reserve Account be
made which would cause the Reserve Account to cease to be a Qualified Reserve
Fund, as that term is defined by Section 860G of the Code and the regulations
thereunder.
The Reserve Account shall be administered so that it meets all
applicable requirements of the Code, including without limitation the definition
of a "qualified reserve fund" under Section 860G(a)(7)(B) of the Code. The
Reserve Account shall at all times be an interest bearing Eligible Account and
shall relate solely to the Certificates and the Trustee shall have the exclusive
right to withdraw funds therefrom. On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall
deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Reserve Account an amount equal to
two percent (2%) of the Outstanding Pool Principal Balance as of the Cut-off
Date. Thereafter, the Trustee shall, as applicable, make deposits or withdrawals
from the Reserve Account only for the following purposes:
(i) to deposit funds into the Reserve Account to the extent
required by Section 5.1(a)(v);
(ii) to withdraw funds from the Reserve Account to make
distributions to Certificateholders to the extent required by Section 5.1(a);
(iii) to withdraw amounts deposited in the Reserve Account
by error;
(iv) as to any Remittance Date and to the extent amounts in
the Reserve Account exceed five percent (5%) of the Outstanding Pool Principal
Balance, to withdraw amounts in the Reserve Account for distribution to the
Class R Certificateholders;
(v) to clear and terminate the Reserve Account pursuant
to Section 10.1; and
(vi) to pay to the Servicer as additional servicing
compensation any net investment income earned with respect to funds in
the Reserve Account invested in Permitted Investments.
The Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid all hazard insurance premiums as
required under Section 3.5 or comparable items related to the Mortgage Loans
when and as the same shall become due and payable. The Servicer will also
advance monies to avoid the tax sale of the related Mortgaged Property. A
withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4 (viii) may be
made only to reimburse the Servicer out of collections on the related Mortgage
Loan for any payments made regarding taxes and assessments or for any payments
made pursuant to Section 3.5 regarding premiums on standard hazard insurance
policies. It is understood that Bluegreen does not escrow funds for such
purposes.
The Servicer may, on each Remittance Date, by Officers' Certificate
instruct the Trustee to make withdrawals from the Certificate Account for the
following purposes and in the following order of priority:
(i) To reimburse the Servicer for Liquidation Expenses
theretofore incurred in respect of any Mortgage Loan in an amount not to exceed
the amount of the related Liquidation Proceeds deposited into the Collection
Account;
(ii) To pay to the Trustee any unpaid Trustee's Fee to which
it is entitled pursuant to Section 9.5 and to pay to the Servicer (x) any unpaid
Servicing Fees to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.9, (y) as
additional servicing compensation the amount, if any, by which Net Liquidation
Proceeds in respect of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan are in excess of the sum of
(A) the unpaid principal balance of such Liquidated Mortgage Loan and (B)
accrued and unpaid interest at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate on the
declining Principal Balance thereof from the Installment Due Date to which
interest was last paid by the Obligor (or from the Cut-off Date, if such date is
prior to the Cut-off Date) to the Installment Due Date next preceding the
Remittance Date on which such Mortgage Loan became a Liquidated Mortgage Loan;
(iii) To reimburse the Trustee for expenses pursuant to
Section 9.5 and Bluegreen or the Servicer to the extent permitted by
Section 7.3;
(iv) To pay to Bluegreen amounts received in respect of any
Defective Mortgage Loan repurchased by Bluegreen to the extent that the
distribution of any such amounts on the Remittance Date upon which the proceeds
of such purchase are distributed would make the total amount distributed in
respect of any such Mortgage Loan on such Remittance Date greater than the
Purchase Price therefor;
(v) To pay to Bluegreen amounts received in respect of
Defective Mortgage Loans which were not reflected in the calculation of the
related Purchase Price or any Substitution Adjustment;
(vi) To reimburse the Servicer for Monthly Advances
theretofore made in respect of any Mortgage Loan to the extent of late
payments and Liquidation Proceeds received, the Purchase Price paid or
the termination price paid pursuant to Section 10.1, in each case in
respect of such Mortgage Loan;
(vii) To reimburse the Servicer for any Nonrecoverable
Advance;
(viii) To reimburse the Servicer out of collections on the
related Mortgage Loan for amounts paid by the Servicer for taxes, assessments,
hazard insurance premiums or comparable items pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.5,
to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the related Obligor;
(ix) To withdraw from the Certificate Account any amounts
deposited therein by error;
(x) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED];
(xi) To pay any and all taxes imposed on the Trust REMIC by
federal or state governmental authorities to the extent such taxes have not been
paid pursuant to Section 11.1(c); and
(xii) To clear and terminate the Certificate Account pursuant
to Section 10.1.
The Servicer shall keep and maintain a separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawals from the Certificate Account pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iv),
(v), (vi) and (viii) of this Section 3.4. . The Servicer shall cause to be
maintained on each Mortgaged Property on which a dwelling was located on the
date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan hazard insurance with extended
coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of
the improvements securing the related Mortgage Loan or the outstanding principal
balance owing on such Mortgage Loan from time to time, whichever is less. To the
extent provided in Section 3.2(b)(iv), amounts collected by the Servicer under
any such policies shall be deposited into the Collection Account. Further,
monies advanced by the Servicer to avoid the tax sale of the related Mortgaged
Property shall be recoverable by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.3. In cases
in which a Mortgaged Property is located in a federally designated flood area
and such Mortgaged Property includes improvements thereon as of the date of
origination of the related Mortgage Loan, the hazard insurance to be maintained
for such Mortgaged Property shall include flood insurance. The Servicer shall be
under no obligation to require that any Obligor maintain earthquake or other
additional insurance and shall be under no obligation itself to maintain any
such additional insurance on a Mortgaged Property, other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance. If the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a
blanket policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgaged Properties
on which a dwelling is located, it shall conclusively be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first sentence of this Section
3.5, it being understood and agreed that such policy shall require prior notice
of cancellation, shall name the Trustee as an additional payee in accordance
with its interest and may contain a deductible clause, in which case the
Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the
related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the first sentence of this
Section 3.5, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by
such policy, deposit into the Collection Account, the amount not otherwise
payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause.
In any case in which a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed
by the Obligor, the Servicer shall exercise its right to accelerate the maturity
of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause applicable thereto. If a
Mortgage Loan contains no "due-on-sale" clause, such "due-on-sale" clause, by
its terms, is not operable or the Servicer is prevented, as provided in the last
paragraph of this Section 3.6, from enforcing any such clause, the Servicer is
authorized to take or enter into an assumption and modification agreement from
or with the Person to whom such Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be
conveyed pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note
and the Obligor remains liable thereon. The Servicer shall not take or enter
into any such assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the
extent practicable in the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation of
the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. The
Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any assumption and modification agreement
has been completed and forward to the Trustee the original copy thereof, which
copy shall be added by the Trustee to the related Mortgage Documents and shall,
for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage Documents to the same
extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. In
connection with any such agreement, neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall
permit modification of any term of the Mortgage Loan. Any fee collected by the
Servicer for entering into any such agreement will be retained by the Servicer
as additional servicing compensation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph of this Section 3.6 or any
other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in
default, breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of
any assumption of a Mortgage Loan, or transfer of the property subject to a
Mortgage without the assumption thereof, by operation of law or any assumption
or transfer which the Servicer reasonably believes, after due inquiry, it is
restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
(a) The Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert to
ownership Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into
and continue in Default (as defined below) and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to
Section 3.2. For purposes of this Section 3.7(a), "Default" with respect to a
Mortgage Loan shall mean a payment default (without giving effect to any grace
period) or any other material default under the terms of the Mortgage Loan,
which default continues unremedied for a period of more than 90 days. In
connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow
such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as
shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as
shall be in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicer shall be
responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such
proceedings; provided, however, that the Servicer shall be entitled to
reimbursement thereof from related Liquidation Proceeds to the extent provided
in Section 3.4. Notwithstanding the above, the Servicer shall not be entitled to
recover legal expenses incurred in connection with foreclosure proceedings where
the Mortgage Loan is reinstated and such foreclosure proceedings are terminated
prior to completion, other than sums received from the Obligor for such
expenses. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which
property subject to a Mortgage shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured
Cause, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection
with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of such property unless it shall
determine in its discretion (a) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will
increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to
Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (b) that
such expenses will be recoverable by the Servicer through Liquidation Proceeds
from the related property, as contemplated in Section 3.4.
Prior to foreclosing upon or otherwise comparably converting to
ownership any Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will
review the mortgage file which includes the Mortgage Documents relating to such
Mortgage Loan and inspect the Mortgaged Property for purposes of determining
whether such foreclosure or comparable conversion is in the best economic
interests of the Certificateholders (assuming, for such purposes, that the
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with, and no liability or exposure would
exist upon foreclosure or conversion under, any applicable environmental law or
regulation). If, during the course of its activities specified in the preceding
sentence, the Servicer discovers that the Mortgaged Property is in material
violation of any applicable environmental law or regulation, the Servicer will
not (and shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, not have any obligation to) foreclose or otherwise comparably convert
the Mortgaged Property without the prior written consent of the Holders of a
majority of the principal balance of the Controlling Class. It is expressly
understood that nothing in this paragraph shall require the Servicer to perform,
or request any other Person to perform, any environmental assessment or
inspection and it is contemplated that no such assessment or inspection shall
occur unless the same is requested by the Holders of the Controlling Class as a
condition to any consent.
(b) In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired by
the Servicer for the benefit of Certificateholders in foreclosure or by
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the deed or certificate of sale shall
be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders. The Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall sell any
REO Property as expeditiously as possible, but in all events within the time
period, and subject to the conditions, set forth in Section 11.2. Subject to
Section 11.2, the Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO
Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt
disposition and sale.
If the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property, the Servicer shall have
full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and
prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection therewith
as are consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, all on terms and for such
period as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of Certificateholders,
and, consistent therewith, shall advance from its own funds (i) all insurance
premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property; (ii) all taxes and
other impositions in respect of such REO Property that could result or have
resulted in the imposition of a lien thereon; and (iii) all costs and expenses
necessary to maintain such REO Property; in each such case, if, but only if, the
Servicer would make such an advance if it owned such REO Property, and, in the
Servicer's judgment, such amounts will be recoverable by the Servicer from
related Liquidation Proceeds.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the substitution or
repurchase of a Defective Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 2.2 or 2.3, or the
modification of a Mortgage pursuant to Section 11.3, the Servicer will
immediately notify the Trustee by a certification (which certification, in the
case of a payment in full or a substitution or repurchase pursuant to Section
2.2 or 2.3, shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in
connection with such payment, repurchase or substitution which are required to
be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.2 have been so
deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the
related Mortgage Documents. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the
Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage Documents to the Servicer.
Upon any such payment in full, repurchase, substitution or modification, the
Servicer is authorized to execute, pursuant to the authorization contained in
Section 3.1, an instrument of satisfaction regarding such Mortgage, which
instrument of satisfaction shall be recorded by the Servicer if required by
applicable law and be delivered to the Person entitled thereto, it being
understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such
instrument of satisfaction shall be reimbursed from amounts at the time
deposited in the Collection Account. From time to time and as appropriate for
the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall, upon
request of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of a receipt signed by a
Servicing Officer, release the related Mortgage Documents to the Servicer and
shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any
such proceedings. Such receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the
Mortgage Documents to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no
longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon
receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer, the receipt shall be released
by the Trustee to the Servicer.
The Servicer shall be entitled to instruct the Trustee to withdraw from the
Certificate Account or to withhold and pay to itself as servicing compensation
out of each payment received by it on account of interest on each Mortgage Loan
an amount equal to the Servicing Fee. Additional servicing compensation in the
form of assumption fees and late payment charges, pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof
or otherwise shall be retained by the Servicer to the extent collected from the
related Obligors and only to the extent in excess of the full amount of the
Periodic Payments on the related Mortgage Loans. Additional servicing
compensation in the form of investment income on amounts on deposit in the
Reserve Account and gain from the sale of REO Property as calculated pursuant to
Section 3.4(ii) shall be retained by the Servicer. The Servicer shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities
hereunder (including payment of all other fees and expenses not expressly stated
hereunder to be for the account of the Certificateholders) and shall not be
entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in Sections 3.3, 3.4 and
3.7.
The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Rating Agency and, for so
long as the Class A Certificates are outstanding, the Class A
Certificateholders, on or before September 30 of each year, beginning September
30, 1997, an Officers' Certificate stating that (a) a review of the activities
of the Servicer during the 12 months ended March 31 (or from the Closing Date to
March 31, 1997, with respect to the first such Officers' Certificate) and of its
performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision
and (b) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the
Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such
period, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such
obligation, specifying each such default known to such officers and the nature
and status thereof.
On or before September 30 of each year, beginning September 30, 1997, the
Servicer, at its expense, shall direct a firm of independent public accountants
(which shall be one of the "big six" firms) to furnish a statement to the
Trustee, the Rating Agency and, for so long as the Class A Certificates are
outstanding, the Class A Certificateholders, stating that the firm has examined
certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans
during the Servicer's most recent fiscal year (or from the Closing Date to the
end of the Servicer's fiscal year, with respect to the first such statement) and
that, on the basis of the examination, nothing has come to the attention of such
firm that would cause it to believe that the servicing has not been conducted in
compliance with this Agreement except for (a) exceptions as the firm believes
are immaterial, and (b) other exceptions as shall be set forth in the statement.
Copies of the statement shall be provided to the Certificateholders by the
Servicer or by the Trustee at the Servicer's expense if the Servicer fails to
provide the requested copies.
The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee and Certificateholders and their
respective supervisory agents and examiners access to the documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and regulations, such
access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during
normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section
3.12 shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and
the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.12
as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section
3.12.
(a) The Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a Servicer
Fidelity Bond and a Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy, naming the
Trustee as loss payee, affording coverage for all directors, officers, employees
and other Persons acting on the Servicer's behalf. The Servicer Errors and
Omissions Insurance Policy and Servicer Fidelity Bond shall be in such form and
amount that would meet the requirements of the Rating Agency and, for so long as
it holds Class A Certificates, TIAA.
(b) The Servicer shall promptly report in writing to the Trustee and,
for so long as the Class A Certificates are outstanding, the Class A
Certificateholders, any material changes that may occur in any required Servicer
Fidelity Bond or Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and shall
furnish to the Trustee copies of all binders and policies or certificates
evidencing that such bond and insurance policy are in full force and effect. The
Servicer shall promptly report in writing to the Trustee and, for so long as the
Class A Certificates are outstanding, the Class A Certificateholders, all cases
of embezzlement or fraud or irregularities of operation, suspected or otherwise,
if such events involve funds relating to the Mortgage Loans. The total losses,
regardless of whether claims are filed with the applicable insurer or surety,
shall be disclosed in such reports together with the amount of such losses
covered by insurance. If a bond or insurance claim report is filed with any of
the Servicer bonding companies or insurers, a copy of such report shall be
promptly furnished to the Trustee and, for so long as the Class A Certificates
are outstanding, the Class A Certificateholders.
(a) Subject to Section 11.1, the Trustee shall prepare or cause to be
prepared on behalf of the Trust Fund, in reliance upon the information, if any,
furnished by the Depositor and the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement
and pursuant to instructions given by the Holders of a majority in Percentage
Interests of the Class R Certificates, shall sign and shall file, Federal income
tax and information returns and appropriate state income tax and information
returns or such other returns as may be required by applicable law relating to
the Trust Fund. The Servicer and the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee any
information within the control of each that shall be reasonably necessary to
enable the Trustee to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.14(a). The
Trustee shall forward to the Depositor and the Servicer copies thereof and of
quarterly and annual REMIC tax returns and Form 1099 information returns and
such other information within the control of the Trustee as the Depositor and
the Servicer may reasonably request in writing. Moreover, the Trustee shall
forward to each Certificateholder such forms and furnish such information within
the control of the Trustee as are required by the Code to be furnished to them,
will prepare and file annual reports required by the state authorities, will
file copies of this Agreement with the appropriate state authorities as may be
required by applicable law and will prepare and disseminate to
Certificateholders Forms 1099 (or otherwise furnish information within the
control of the Trustee) to the extent required by applicable law. The Servicer,
the Depositor and the Class R Certificateholders (but not the Trust Fund) shall
indemnify the Trustee for any liability of or assessment against the Trustee and
any expenses incurred in connection with such liability or assessment (including
attorney's fees) resulting from any error in any of such tax or information
returns resulting from errors in the information or instructions, as applicable,
provided by the Servicer, the Depositor or the Class R Certificateholders. The
Trustee shall indemnify the Servicer, the Depositor and the Class R
Certificateholders for any liability of or assessment against the Servicer, the
Depositor or the Class R Certificateholders and any expense incurred in
connection with such liability or assessment (including attorney's fees)
resulting from any error in any of such tax or information returns resulting
from errors in the preparation of such returns by the Trustee. Any such
indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(b) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file with the Internal Revenue
Service ("IRS"), on behalf of the Trust REMIC, an application for a taxpayer
identification number for the Trust REMIC on IRS Form SS-4. The Trustee, upon
receipt from the IRS of the Notice of Taxpayer Identification Number Assigned,
shall promptly forward a copy of such notice to the Servicer and the Depositor.
The Trustee shall prepare and file Form 8811 on behalf of the Trust REMIC and
shall designate an appropriate Person to respond to inquiries by or on behalf of
Certificateholders for original issue discount and related information in
accordance with applicable provisions of the Code.
Section 3.15 Trustee's Interest in the Trust Fund
(a) Notwithstanding that the parties hereto intend that the conveyance
of the Depositor's right, title and interest on and to the Trust Fund pursuant
to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a pledge of
security for a loan, the Servicer shall, from time to time, cause to be taken
such actions as are necessary to continue the perfection of the Trustee's
security interest in the Trust Fund (other than any statutory lien arising by
operation of law after the Closing Date that is prior to such security
interest), including, without limitation, the filing of financing statements,
amendments thereto or continuation statements and the making of notations on the
records or documents of title relating to the Trust Fund. The Depositor will
cooperate in all such actions and will execute and deliver whatever is
reasonably necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
(b) The Servicer will deliver to the Trustee, the Rating Agency and,
for so long as the Class A Certificates are outstanding, the Class A
Certificateholders, within 180 days after the beginning of each calendar year
beginning with 1998, an Opinion of Counsel, dated as of a date during such
180-day period, either (i) stating that in the opinion of such counsel, all
financing statements and continuation statements have been executed and filed
that are necessary fully to continue the perfection of the Trustee's security
interest in the personal property in the Trust Fund in the event that the
conveyance by Bluegreen to the Depositor and/or the Depositor to the Trustee
pursuant to this Agreement is deemed to be a pledge for a loan, and reciting the
details of such filings or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such
details are given, or (ii) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such
action during that calendar year is necessary to continue the perfection of such
security interest.
ARTICLE IV SERVICER'S CERTIFICATE; MONTHLY ADVANCES
Each month, not later than the third Business Day next preceding each
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Rating Agency

Certificate relates, the Series number of the Certificates, the date of this

(xii) The statement of accounting required by Section 11.2(c);
(xiii) The Remittance Certificate required to be delivered by the
Trustee to Certificateholders pursuant to
Section 5.2; and
(xiv) The amount on deposit in the Reserve Account as of the close of
business on the preceding Determination Date, reduced by any amount withdrawn
from the Reserve Account and transferred to the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 5.1(a) or withdrawn and transferred to the holders of the Class R
Certificates pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 3.2(d).
(a) If on any Determination Date, any Periodic Payment due during the
immediately preceding Collection Period has not been received by the Servicer by
such Determination Date, the Servicer shall make a Monthly Advance unless, in
the Servicer's good faith discretion, the Servicer determines that such Monthly
Advance will be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Servicer determines that it
will make a Monthly Advance it shall so indicate on the related Servicer's
Certificate, and on the Business Day prior to the related Remittance Date either
(i) deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to such Monthly Advance,
(ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records relating to the
Collection Account that all or a portion of the Amount Held for Future
Distribution, as permitted by this Section 4.2, has been used by the Servicer to
make such Monthly Advance, or (iii) make an advance in the form of any
combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Monthly Advance. Any
such Monthly Advance shall be included with the distribution to the
Certificateholders on the related Remittance Date. Any Amount Held for Future
Distribution so used shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit from its own
funds in the Collection Account on or before any future Remittance Date to the
extent that funds in the Collection Account on such Remittance Date shall be
less than payments to Certificateholders required to be made on such date. The
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for all
Monthly Advances and Nonrecoverable Advances as provided in Section 3.4.
Each year beginning in 1997, the Servicer shall prepare and execute the
reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property required by
Section 6050J of the Code. On or prior to February 28th of each year, the
Servicer shall provide to the Internal Revenue Service, reports relating to each
instance occurring during the previous calendar year in which the Servicer (i)
on behalf of the Trustee acquires an interest in a Mortgaged Property through
foreclosure or other comparable conversion in full or partial satisfaction of a
Mortgage Loan, or (ii) knows or has reason to know that a Mortgaged Property has
been abandoned. The reports from the Servicer shall be in form and substance
sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Section 6050J of
the Code.
ARTICLE V PAYMENTS AND STATEMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
(a) On each Remittance Date, the Trustee shall make distributions to the
Certificateholders, based on information provided to the Trustee by the Servicer
in the Servicer's Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.1, in the
following order of priority, in each case to the extent of the Amount Available
deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.2(b):
(i) to the Holders of the Class A Certificates, interest
accrued on the outstanding Class A Principal Balance immediately preceding such
Remittance Date during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Remittance
Date, at a per annum rate equal to the Class A Pass-Through Rate;
(ii) to the Holders of the Class A Certificates, principal
equal to the lesser of (A) the outstanding Class A Principal Balance and (B) the
Class A Principal Distribution Amount for such Remittance Date;
(iii) if such Remittance Date is a Class A Cross-Over
Remittance Date, to the Holders of the Class B Certificates, interest accrued on
the outstanding Class B Principal Balance immediately preceding such Remittance
Date during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Remittance Date, at a
per annum rate equal to the Class B Pass-Through Rate (if the Remittance Date is
not a Class A Crossover Remittance Date, the amount payable under this clause
(iii) shall be zero);
(iv) if such Remittance Date is a Class A Cross-Over
Remittance Date, to the Holders of the Class B Certificates, principal equal to
the lesser of (A) the outstanding Class B Principal Balance and (B) the Class B
Principal Distribution Amount for such Remittance Date;
(v) with respect to the first six Remittance Dates and, to the
extent a Retention Event shall have occurred (at any time and whether or not
cured), any Remittance Date subsequent to a Class A Cross-Over Remittance Date,
to the Reserve Account until the principal amount of the Reserve Account equals
5% of the Outstanding Pool Principal Balance (it being understood that on the
seventh Remittance Date and each Remittance Date thereafter until the occurrence
of a Class A Cross-Over Remittance Date and the occurrence of a Retention Event,
no amount will be deposited into the Reserve Account under this clause (v));
(vi) if not a Class A Cross-Over Remittance Date, the
remainder of the Amount Available, if any, to the Class A Certificates as
principal until the Class A Principal Balance has been reduced to zero ($0), in
which case the remainder of the Amount Available is distributed to the Class B
Certificates as principal; and
(vii) the remainder of the Amount Available to the Class R
Certificates.
If on any Remittance Date while the Class A Certificates are outstanding the
Amount Available is not sufficient to pay the amounts specified in clauses (i)
and (ii), the Servicer shall, on or before such Remittance Date, instruct the
Trustee to withdraw from the Reserve Account and cause to be deposited into the
Certificate Account the lesser of (i) the entire amount on deposit in the
Reserve Account and (ii) the amount necessary to pay Class A Certificateholders
the amounts specified in clauses (i) and (ii). If on any Remittance Date after
the Class A Principal Balance is reduced to zero the Amount Available is not
sufficient to pay Class B Certificateholders the amounts specified in clauses
(iii) and (iv), the Servicer shall, on or before such Remittance Date, instruct
the Trustee to withdraw from the Reserve Account and cause to be deposited into
the Certificate Account the lesser of (x) the entire amount on deposit in the
Reserve Account and (y) the amount necessary to pay Class B Certificateholders
the amounts specified in clauses (iii) and (iv). Amounts transferred to the
Certificate Account from the Reserve Account in accordance herewith shall be
subject to distribution in the manner provided in this Section 5.1(a).
(b) Distributions to Certificateholders of each Class shall be made pro
rata within such Class, in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests of
the Certificateholders within such Class. Distributions on each Remittance Date
shall be made by the Trustee to each Certificateholder of record on the related
Record Date (other than as provided in Section 10.1 respecting the final
distribution), by check or money order mailed to such Certificateholder at the
address appearing in the Certificate Register, or upon written request by the
Certificateholder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds (in the event
such Certificateholder owns of record one or more Certificates of the same Class
(i) which have denominations aggregating at least $1,000,000 or (ii) the Class B
or the Class R Certificates), or by such other means of payment as such
Certificateholder and the Trustee shall agree; provided, however, that the final
distribution in retirement of any Class of Certificates shall be made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificate at the office or agency of the
Trustee specified in a notice from the Trustee to the Certificateholders.
(c) If on any Remittance Date, the amount of interest distributable on
any of the Class A or Class B Certificates in accordance with Section 5.1(a)
(after giving effect to the payment of any funds held in the Reserve Account) is
less than an amount equal to interest at the Pass-Through Rate for such Class
accrued during the related Interest Accrual Period on the Class Principal
Balance of such Class as of the immediately preceding Remittance Date, or, in
the case of the first Remittance Date, as of the Cut-off Date, the amount of
such interest shortfall shall accrue and be added to the Class Principal Balance
of such Class on such Remittance Date.
With each distribution from the Certificate Account to the
Certificateholders made on a Remittance Date, the Trustee shall mail to each
Certificateholder a Remittance Certificate prepared and delivered to the Trustee
by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.1(xiii) setting forth:
(i) the Class A Principal Balance as of the previous Remittance Date
and the portion thereof evidenced by a Single Certificate;
(ii) the amount of such distribution allocable to interest at the Class
A Pass-Through Rate for the related Remittance Date and the portion thereof
evidenced by a Single Certificate;
(iii) the amount of such distribution allocable to amortize the Class A
Principal Balance and the portion thereof evidenced by a Single Certificate;
(iv) the Class A Principal Balance for such Remittance Date (stating to
the extent applicable any amount consisting of interest accrued, unpaid and
added to principal on such Remittance Date) and the portion thereof evidenced by
a Single Certificate, and the Class A Percentage as of such previous Remittance
Date;
(v) the Class B Principal Balance as of the previous Remittance Date
and the portion thereof evidenced by a Single Certificate, and the Class B
Percentage as of such previous Remittance Date;
(vi) the amount of accrued interest on the Class B Principal Balance at
the Class B Pass-Through Rate for such Remittance Date and the portion thereof
evidenced by a Single Certificate;
(vii) the amount of such distribution allocable to amortize the Class B
Principal Balance and the portion thereof evidenced by a Single Certificate;
(viii) the Class B Principal Balance for such Remittance Date (stating
to the extent applicable any amount consisting of interest accrued, unpaid and
added to principal on such Remittance Date) and the portion thereof evidenced by
a Single Certificate;
(ix) the amount allocable to fund the Reserve Account;
(x) the amount of any distribution to the Class R Certificateholders;
(xi) the aggregate Principal Balance and outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loans as of such Remittance Date;
(xii) the number and aggregate outstanding principal balances of
Mortgage Loans (a) which had a Periodic Payment which remained unpaid for 30, 60
and 90 or more days, (b) that were in foreclosure and (c) foreclosed upon where
the Mortgaged Property has not yet been sold, in each case as of the close of
business on the last day of the immediately preceding Collection Period;
(xiii) the amount of Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans as of the
last day of the immediately preceding Collection Period and total to date since
the Closing Date;
(xiv) the components of the Base Principal Distribution Amount with
respect to such Remittance Date;
(xv) any amount covered by clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 5.1(a) which
was not paid on such Remittance Date;
(xvi) to the extent a Retention Event shall exist with respect to such
Remittance Date, information concerning the applicable circumstances causing
such Retention Event;
(xvii) to the extent such Remittance Date is a Class A Cross-Over
Remittance Date, information as to compliance with each item in the definition
of Class A Cross-Over Remittance Date; and
(xviii) the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account as of the
applicable Determination Date, the percentage such amount represents of the
Outstanding Pool Principal Balance and whether any funds from the Reserve
Account were transferred to the Certificate Account and paid to
Certificateholders on such Remittance Date.
Within 60 days following the end of each calendar year, the Trustee
shall mail to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a
Certificateholder on any Record Date during such calendar year (a) a statement
containing for such calendar year information as to the total amount of
distributions allocable to interest and the total amount allocable to amortize
principal on each Class of Certificates for which such distributions were made
as well as any amount of interest accrued and unpaid and added to principal on
each such Class of Certificate, and (b) such other customary information as the
Servicer deems necessary or desirable for Certificateholders to prepare their
tax returns. Such obligations of the Servicer and the Trustee shall be deemed to
have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information
shall be provided by the Servicer pursuant to any requirements of the Code from
time to time in force.
ARTICLE VI THE CERTIFICATES
The Class A, Class B and Class R Certificates shall be substantially in the
forms set forth in Exhibits A, B and C, respectively, and shall, on original
issue, be executed on behalf of the Trust Fund, authenticated and delivered by
the Trustee to or upon the order of the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee of
the documents specified in Section 2.1. The Class A and Class B Certificates
shall be issuable in the minimum dollar denominations, integral dollar multiples
in excess thereof and aggregate dollar denominations per Class as set forth in
the following table (except that one Certificate of each Class may be issued in
a different denomination):
Minimum Integral Multiples
Class Denomination in Excess of Minimum Aggregate Denomination
A $100,000 $1,000 $5,280,412.28
B $100,000 $1,000 $ 459,166.29
The Class R Certificates have no principal balance and do not bear
interest. The Class R Certificates are issuable in Percentage Interests.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of the Trust Fund by the Trustee by an authorized officer under its seal
imprinted thereon. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized
to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that
such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the
execution and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the
date of any such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall
have been manually authenticated by the Trustee substantially in the form
provided for herein, and such authentication upon any Certificate shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
executed and delivered hereunder. Each Certificate executed, authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee to or upon the order of the Depositor on the Closing
Date shall be dated as of the Closing Date. All other Certificates that are
authenticated after the Closing Date shall be dated the date of their
authentication.
Pending the preparation of definitive Certificates, the Trustee may
execute, authenticate and deliver temporary Certificates that are printed,
lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Certificates in lieu
of which they may be so issued and with such variations as the officers
executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of
such Certificates.
If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause
definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be
exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary
Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee to be maintained as provided
in Section 6.2, without charge to the Certificateholder. Upon surrender or
cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver and exchange therefor a like aggregate initial
principal amount of definitive Certificates of the same Class and of authorized
denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all
respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as definitive
Certificates of the same Class.
Section 6.2 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a)
The Trustee shall cause to be kept at an office or agency in the city in which
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located or in the City of New York,
New York, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration
of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein
provided. The Trustee shall initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the
purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates
as herein provided.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any
office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to the
foregoing paragraph and upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the
Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of a like tenor, Class
and aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged
for any number of other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like Class
and aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the
Certificates of such Class which the Certificateholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or
exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) be
duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(b) No transfer of a Certificate of any Class shall be made unless such
transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and
any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and
laws. As a condition to any proposed transfer of a Certificate (other than the
initial transfer to TIAA), (i) the Trustee or Bluegreen shall require a written
Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee and Bluegreen that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption,
describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and
laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trustee or Bluegreen, provided, however, that if
the transferee certifies in the applicable investment letter provided for in the
following clause (ii) that such transferee is a QIB and that such transfer is
being made pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, or that
such transferee is a sophisticated institutional investor (which is an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1),(2),(3) or (7) of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, acquiring the Certificate for
investment purposes, then the Trustee and Bluegreen shall not require, and the
transferee shall have no obligation to provide, the Opinion of Counsel provided
for in this clause (i), and (ii) the Trustee shall require the transferee to
execute an investment letter, substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit H-A, with respect to the Class A Certificates, and substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit H-B, with respect to the Class B or Class R
Certificates, certifying to Bluegreen and the Trustee the facts surrounding such
transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or
Bluegreen. The Holder of a Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall,
and by its acceptance of a Certificate agrees to, indemnify the Trustee and
Bluegreen against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws by reason of the
action or omission of such Holder and that the foregoing indemnification shall
survive any transfer of such Certificate by such Holder.
(c) No transfer of any Class A Certificate shall be made unless the
Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the
transferee of such Certificate, substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit H-A to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
or other entity subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, nor
a Person acting on behalf of any such plan or other entity, which representation
letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, Bluegreen or the Trust Fund, (ii)
if the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation from the purchaser of
such Certificate, substantially in the form reflected in Exhibit H-A to the
effect that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such
Certificate with funds contained in an "insurance company general account" (as
such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exception
95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) and that the purchase, holding and any sale of such
Certificates are covered under PTCE 95-60 (it being understood that no transfer
of a Class A Certificate pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be made if PTCE
95-60 is rescinded or otherwise amended in a manner which renders the prohibited
transactions exemptions contained therein unavailable to the purchase or holding
of the Class A Certificates), or (iii) in the case of any such Certificate
presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan or other
entity subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a trustee
of any such plan, one or more opinions of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee
and Bluegreen to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Subordinate
Certificate will not result in the assets of the Trust Fund being deemed to be
"plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and
the Code and will not subject the Trustee or Bluegreen to any obligation in
addition to those undertaken in this Agreement and provided further, that such
opinions shall not be an expense of the Trustee, Bluegreen or the Trust Fund.
(d) No Subordinate Certificate may be owned, pledged or transferred to,
directly or indirectly, an employee benefit plan or other entity subject to
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, nor a Person acting on behalf
of any such plan or other entity. No transfer of any Subordinate Certificate
shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received a representation letter
from the transferee of such Certificate, substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit H-B, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee
benefit plan or other entity subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such plan or other entity, which
representation letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, Bluegreen or the
Trust Fund.
Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any
transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Class A or Class B Certificate or any
percentage therein to an employee benefit plan or other entity subject to
Section 406 of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code or an agent or nominee acting
on behalf of any such employee benefit plan or other entity, such registration
shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such employee
benefit plan or other entity (or such agent or nominee) shall not be deemed to
be a Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions on such Certificate.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in
this Agreement, no Class R Certificate or any Percentage Interest therein may be
owned, pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to a Disqualified
Organization. Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer,
sale or other disposition of a Class R Certificate or any Percentage Interest
therein, the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar an
affidavit in substantially the respective forms attached hereto as Exhibit
F-1(a) (for a U.S. Holder) or Exhibit F -1(b) (for a foreign Holder)
representing and warranting that such transferee is neither a Disqualified
Organization nor an agent or nominee acting on behalf of a Disqualified
Organization (any such transferee, a "Permitted Transferee"). In addition, the
Certificate Registrar may (but shall have no obligation to) require, prior to
and as a condition of any such transfer, the delivery by the proposed transferee
of an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory in form and substance to the Certificate
Registrar, that such proposed transferee or, if the proposed transferee is an
agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial owner, is not a Disqualified
Organization. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of
any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Class R Certificate or any
percentage therein to a Disqualified Organization or an agent or nominee acting
on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be deemed to
be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization (or
such agent or nominee) shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any
purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions
on such Class R Certificate. The Certificate Registrar shall not be under any
liability to any person for any registration or transfer of a Class R
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or for the maturity of any payments
due on such Class R Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Agreement, so
long as the transfer was effected in accordance with this Section 6.2(e), unless
the Certificate Registrar shall have actual knowledge at the time of such
transfer or the time of such payment or other action that the transferee is a
Disqualified Organization (or an agent or nominee thereof). The Certificate
Registrar shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Class R Certificate
or any Percentage Interest therein that was a Disqualified Organization (or an
agent or nominee thereof) at the time it became a Holder or any subsequent time
it became a Disqualified Organization all payments made on such Class R
Certificate at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses,
including but not limited to attorneys' fees, incurred in connection therewith).
Any payment (not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the
Certificate Registrar shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder
of such Class R Certificate or Percentage Interest therein. Any Percentage
Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a pro rata individual interest.
In addition to the foregoing restrictions on transfer of a Class R
Certificate or any Percentage Interest therein, the Certificate Registrar will
not register the transfer of a Class R Certificate unless (a) it has received a
transferee letter either in the form attached as Exhibit F-2(a) or Exhibit
F-2(b) hereto and (b) in the event that the transferee letter is in the form of
Exhibit F-2(b) (a "Foreign Holder Letter"), it has received written evidence
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar that the transferor has paid or
provided for payment of all taxes (including all accrued taxes on excess
inclusion income) accrued on such Class R Certificate in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Section 11.1(i), which written evidence shall include a
copy of the applicable Forms 1066, Schedule Q (or other applicable form
prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service), to the extent that any such form
has been filed, evidencing the amount of excess inclusion income for the periods
during which the transferor held such Class R Certificate or any percentage
interest therein; (c) it has received the calculations and certifications
described in paragraph (4) of Exhibit F-2(b) or paragraph (14) of Exhibit
F-2(a), and in the event that the transferee letter is in the form of Exhibit
F-2(b), the requirements set forth in paragraph 3(xi) thereof have been complied
with to the satisfaction of the Certificate Registrar. Upon satisfaction of the
foregoing requirements, the Certificate Registrar shall register the Class R
Certificate in the name of the transferee on whose benefit the transferee letter
is made and delivered (and not in the name of any nominee thereof).
If any purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Class
R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 6.2(e), then, upon
receipt of written notice to the Certificate Registrar that the registration of
transfer of such Class R Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section
6.2(e), the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights
as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such registration of transfer of
such Class R Certificate. The Certificate Registrar shall be under no liability
to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Class R Certificate that is
in fact not permitted by this Section 6.2(e), for making any payment due on such
Certificate to the registered Holder thereof or for taking any other action with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the
transfer was registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the preceding
paragraph of this Section 6.2(e).
Each Holder of a Class R Certificate or Percentage Interest therein, by
such Holder's acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have
consented to the provisions of this Section.
Each Class R Certificate shall bear a legend describing the
restrictions on transferability set forth in this Section 6.2(e).
(f) The Depositor, as initial holder of all the Class B and Class R
Certificates, agrees that it shall not transfer any of such Certificates or any
interest therein to Bluegreen or any Affiliate of Bluegreen unless it shall have
received the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding
Class A Principal Balance and a letter from the Rating Agency to the effect that
such Transfer will not result in a downgrading below A- of the rating assigned
to the Class A Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall
limit the Depositor's ability to transfer any Certificates to the Trustee in
connection with the adoption of a plan of liquidation of BRT.
(g) Bluegreen and the Depositor agree that any Certificate owned by
them, or any Affiliate thereof, will be registered in the name of Bluegreen, the
Depositor or such Affiliate, as the case may be, and will not be registered in
the name of a broker or other nominee.
(h) [Intentionally Omitted].
(i) No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of
Certificates of any Class, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(j) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
destroyed by the Certificate Registrar.
(k) Any purported transfer of a Certificate in violation
of this Section 6.2 shall be void and of no effect.
Section 6.3 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the
Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee,
Bluegreen and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity (which shall
be the unsecured agreement of any Certificateholder which represents to the
Trustee and Bluegreen that it is an institutional investor and a QIB) as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice
to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor, Class and Percentage
Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the
Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in
the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or
destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 6.4 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, Bluegreen, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of Bluegreen, the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as
the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions
pursuant to Section 5.1 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither
Bluegreen, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of Bluegreen,
the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. At Bluegreen's request, the Trustee shall advise Bluegreen as to the
registered owners of the Certificates or any thereof, the address for notices at
which each such owner may be contacted with respect to matters relating and
limited to this Agreement and, in the case of an institutional owner, the name
of a representative of such owner.
ARTICLE VII BLUEGREEN AND THE SERVICER
Bluegreen and the Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to
the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by
Bluegreen and the Servicer herein. The Servicer agrees to notify the Trustee and
the holders of the Controlling Class if the Servicer shall fail duly to observe
or perform in any material respect any contract or agreement of the Servicer set
forth in this Agreement which is caused by clause (b) of Section 8.1 which is
not cured or remedied within five (5) Business Days.
(a) Bluegreen and the Servicer each will maintain its existence as a
corporation and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business and
any necessary licenses in each jurisdiction in which such qualification or
license is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of
this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, and to perform its duties under this
Agreement.
(b) Any Person into which Bluegreen or the Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which Bluegreen or the Servicer shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the business of Bluegreen or the Servicer, which
executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation hereunder of
Bluegreen or the Servicer, as the case may be, and, in the case of the Servicer,
which meets the requirements for a successor Servicer as provided in Section
8.2, shall be the successor hereunder of Bluegreen or the Servicer as the case
may be, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Neither Bluegreen, the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or
employees or agents of Bluegreen or the Servicer shall be under any liability to
the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining
from the taking of any action by Bluegreen or the Servicer pursuant to this
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect Bluegreen or the Servicer or any such person against any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of duties of Bluegreen or the Servicer,
as the case may be, hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations
and duties of Bluegreen or the Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder.
Bluegreen and the Servicer and any director or officer or employee or agent of
Bluegreen or the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind
prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder. Bluegreen and the Servicer and any director or officer or
employee or agent of Bluegreen or the Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust
Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates,
other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan
or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be
otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in
the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. The Servicer shall not be under any obligation
to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to
its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and
which in its reasonable opinion may involve it in any expense or liability;
provided, however, that the Servicer may in its good faith discretion undertake
any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this
Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of
the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of
such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and
liabilities of the Trust Fund and the Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor from amounts held in the Collection Account as provided by
Section 3.4.
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, neither Bluegreen nor the
Servicer shall resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it
except upon determination that the performance of its duties hereunder is no
longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of Bluegreen or the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of
Independent Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation
of the Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor Servicer
shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in
accordance with Section 8.2.
Except as expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall not assign or
transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other
Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other
Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by
the Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that the Servicer shall have the
right without the prior written consent of the Trustee, the Depositor or the
Rating Agency to delegate or assign to or subcontract with or authorize or
appoint an Affiliate of the Servicer to perform and carry out any duties,
covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by the Servicer
hereunder. In no case, however, shall any such delegation, subcontracting or
assignment to an Affiliate of the Servicer relieve the Servicer of any liability
hereunder. Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given promptly by the
Servicer to the Depositor, the Rating Agency, the Trustee and, for so long as
the Class A Certificates are outstanding, the Holders of the Class A
Certificates.
ARTICLE VIII DEFAULT
If any one of the following events ("Events of Default") shall occur and be
continuing:
(a) Any failure by the Servicer to deposit amounts in the Collection
Account or the Certificate Account in the amount and manner provided herein so
as to enable the Trustee to distribute to Holders of Certificates of any Class
any payment required to be made under the terms of such Certificates and this
Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of 2 Business Days; or
(b) Failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in
any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth
in the Certificates or in this Agreement, which failure (A) materially affects
the rights of Certificateholders and (B) continues unremedied for a period of 30
days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same
to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee, or to the
Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing,
as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25%; or
(c) The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having
jurisdiction in respect of the Servicer in an involuntary case under the federal
bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or any other present or future
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or appointing a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other
similar official of the Servicer or of any substantial part of its property, or
ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Servicer and the
continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of
60 consecutive days; or
(d) The commencement by the Servicer of a voluntary case under the
federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or any other present or
future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or the consent by
the Servicer to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official
of the Servicer or of any substantial part of its property or the making by the
Servicer of an assignment for the benefit of creditors or the failure by the
Servicer generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or the taking of
action by the Servicer in furtherance of any of the foregoing; then, and in each
and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied
by the Servicer, either the Trustee, or the Holders of Certificates of any
Controlling Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating
more than 50%, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the
Trustee if given by Certificateholders) may, in addition to any other remedies
at law or in equity available to the Trustee for the benefit of
Certificateholders, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer
under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to the Servicing
Fee. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all
authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect
to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be
vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section 8.1, and, without
limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Servicer and at the Servicer's sole expense, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and
to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect
the purposes of such notice of termination. The Servicer agrees to cooperate
with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights
of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the
Trustee for the administration by it of all cash amounts that have been or
should have been deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and the
Certificate Account or thereafter received by the Servicer with respect to the
Mortgage Loans. In addition to any other amounts which are then, or,
notwithstanding the termination of its activities as Servicer, may become,
payable to the Servicer under this Agreement, the Servicer shall be entitled to
receive out of any delinquent payment on account of interest on a Mortgage Loan
due during the period prior to the notice pursuant to this Section 8.1 which
terminates the obligations and rights of the Servicer hereunder and received
after such notice, that portion of such payment which it would have been
entitled to retain pursuant to Section 3.4(ii) if such notice had not been given
and out of any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan due during such period,
that portion of such payment which it would have been entitled to retain
pursuant to Sections 3.4(vi) and (vii) if such notice had not been given. Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, Bluegreen shall give the
Rating Agency and, for so long as the Class A Certificates are outstanding, the
Holders of the Class A Certificates written notice of the occurrence thereof.
(a) On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 8.1, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to
the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer
by the terms and provisions hereof except as otherwise provided by law;
provided, however, that, with respect to the obligation to make Monthly Advances
pursuant to Section 4.2, the Trustee shall not be required to make any Monthly
Advance if the Trustee is prohibited by law from making such Monthly Advance, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall,
except as provided in Section 8.1, be entitled to such compensation as the
Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination
had been given, including, without limitation, the Servicing Fee.
(b) The Trustee, as Successor Servicer, shall during the term of its
service as Servicer maintain in force (i) a policy or policies of insurance
covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer
hereunder, and (ii) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and
agents to the same extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section
3.13.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to
so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if the Holders of Certificates of
the Controlling Class, voting as a Class, evidencing, as to each such
Controlling Class, Percentage Interests aggregating more than 50% so request in
writing to the Trustee, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution that has a net
worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the Successor Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Servicer hereunder, provided, however, that the Trustee receives written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that such Successor Servicer will not cause
such Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating assigned to any of the
rated Certificates that were currently being rated by the Rating Agency. In the
event the Trustee elects to solicit bids, the Trustee shall solicit, by public
announcement, bids from housing and home finance institutions, banks and
mortgage servicing institutions meeting the qualifications set forth above. Such
public announcement shall specify that the Successor Servicer shall be entitled
to servicing compensation in an amount not to exceed 0.75% per annum times the
Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan as of each Installment Due Date for such
Mortgage Loan (the "Successor Servicer Fee"), together with the other servicing
compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges, gain from REO
sales or otherwise. Within thirty days after any such public announcement, the
Trustee shall negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the
servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party
submitting the highest qualifying bid if acceptable to Holders of a majority of
the principal balance of the Controlling Class. The Trustee shall deduct from
any sum received by the Trustee from the Successor Servicer in respect of such
sale, transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any public announcement
and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and
responsibilities hereunder and the amount of any unreimbursed Monthly Advances.
After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Trustee to
the Servicer at the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to the Successor
Servicer. The Trustee and such Successor Servicer shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and any Successor
Servicer in effecting the termination of the Servicer servicing responsibilities
and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide the Trustee or such Successor
Servicer, as applicable, all documents and records reasonably requested by it to
enable it to assume the Servicer functions hereunder and shall promptly also
transfer to the Trustee or such Successor Servicer, as applicable, all amounts
which then have been or should have been deposited in the Collection Account or
the Certificate Account by the Servicer or which are thereafter received with
respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any other Successor
Servicer shall be held liable by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in
making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the
failure of the Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents
or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority
having jurisdiction over the Servicer hereunder. No appointment of a Successor
Servicer hereunder shall be effective until written notice of such proposed
appointment shall have been provided by the Trustee to each Certificateholder,
and the Trustee shall have consented thereto. The Trustee shall not resign as
Servicer until a Successor Servicer has been appointed.
Pending appointment of a Successor Servicer hereunder, the Trustee
shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such Successor Servicer out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it
and such Successor Servicer shall agree; provided, however, that no such
compensation shall be in excess of the Successor Servicer Fee, together with
other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment
charges or otherwise as provided in this Agreement. The Servicer, the Trustee
and such Successor Servicer shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
Upon any termination or appointment of a Successor Servicer pursuant to this
Article VIII, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register and to the Rating Agency. The Trustee also shall notify the Rating
Agency and, for so long as the Class A Certificates are outstanding, the Holders
of the Class A Certificates (a) if the Trustee has actual knowledge that an
Event of Default has occurred which was then either cured or waived and (b) on
an annual basis, within 60 days of each anniversary of the Closing Date during
the term of this Agreement, to the effect that the Trustee has no actual
knowledge as to the occurrence of any Event of Default such preceding year.
ARTICLE IX THE TRUSTEE
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform
such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. If an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured), the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
own affairs.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they appear
to conform to the requirements of this Agreement.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the
curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and
obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions
of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of
such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the
Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to
the Trustee which conform to the requirements of this Agreement and which are
reasonably believed to be genuine and duly authorized;
(ii) Neither the Trustee nor its directors, officers, employees or
agents shall be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee
or such director, officer, employee or agent was negligent in performing its
duties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor its directors, officers, employees or
agents shall be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
Holders of Certificates of any Controlling Class evidencing, as to such Class,
Percentage Interests aggregating more than 50% relating to the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement;
and
(iv) So long as the Trustee is not the Servicer, neither the Trustee
nor its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be charged with knowledge
of any failure by the Servicer to comply with its obligations referred to in
clauses (a) and (b) of Section 8.1 unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
at the Corporate Trust Office receives written notice of such failure from
Bluegreen or the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to such
Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25%.
The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and
none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require
the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any
of the obligations of Bluegreen or the Servicer under this Agreement, except
during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be
vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.1: the Trustee
(i) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining
from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors
or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties;
(ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel
shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action
taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance
with such Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or
defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or
direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity (which indemnity shall be the unsecured
obligation of TIAA or, with the consent of the Trustee, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, any Major Certificateholder) against the costs, expenses
and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained
herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligations, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been cured), to exercise such
of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or
within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing
of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound
to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to
do so by Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to such Class,
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25%; provided, however, that if
the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or
liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is,
in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the
security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity (which indemnity shall be the unsecured obligation of TIAA
or, with the consent of the Trustee, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, any Major Certificateholder) against such cost, expense or liability
as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such
examination shall be paid by Bluegreen or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be
reimbursed by Bluegreen upon demand. Nothing in this clause (v) shall derogate
from the obligation of Bluegreen to observe any applicable law prohibiting
disclosure of information regarding the Obligors; and
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys or a custodian.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
signature and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall not be
taken as the statements of the Trustee, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates (other than the signature and authentication of the Trustee on the
Certificates) or of the Mortgage Loans or any related document. The Trustee
shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or
Bluegreen of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or
for the use or application of any funds paid to Bluegreen or any of its
Affiliates in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from
the Collection Account or deposited in the Certificate Account by the Depositor,
Bluegreen or the Servicer, except to the extent the Trustee becomes the
Successor Servicer (and in that event, then only for withdrawals or deposits
made by the Trustee in its capacity as Servicer).
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not
Trustee.
The Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw from the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 3.4(ii) the Trustee's Fee as reasonable compensation (which
shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a
trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of
the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the
powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to
reimbursement from the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.4(iii) for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee
in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of
all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement
or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith or which is the
responsibility of Certificateholders hereunder. In addition, except as otherwise
set forth in Section 3.14, Bluegreen covenants and agrees to indemnify the
Trustee, its directors, officers, employees and agents from, and hold them
harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses
other than those resulting from the negligence or bad faith of the Trustee, its
directors, officers, employees and agents.
The Trustee hereunder shall not be an Affiliate of Bluegreen, the Servicer
or any Obligor with respect to more than 5% of the Cut-Off Date Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans and shall at all times be a corporation organized
and doing business under the laws of any State or the United States of America,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, or shall be a member of a bank
holding system, the aggregate combined capital and surplus of which is at least
$50,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority and which will not adversely affect the then current rating of the
Class A Certificates. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 9.6,
the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition
so published. The Trustee and any successor trustee so long as such Person is
Trustee hereunder shall be covered by such insurance covering errors and
omissions and the fidelity of its officers, employees and agents as is standard
for Persons performing similar duties. In case at any time the Trustee shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.6, the
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 9.7.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created by giving written notice thereof to Bluegreen and the Holders of the
Controlling Class. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, Bluegreen shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one
copy to the successor Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee receives (i)
written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such appointment will not
cause such Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating assigned to any of
the rated Certificates that were currently being rated by the Rating Agency and
(ii) the written consent of Holders of a majority of the Controlling Class. If
no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 9.6 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by Bluegreen, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally
unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of
the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall
take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then Bluegreen, with the
written consent of Holders of a majority of the principal balance of the
Controlling Class, may remove the Trustee. If it removes the Trustee under the
authority of the immediately preceding sentence, Bluegreen, with the written
consent of Holders of a majority of the principal balance of the Controlling
Class, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed and one copy to the successor Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.7 shall
not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as
provided in Section 9.8.
Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 9.7 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Bluegreen and to its predecessor Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation
or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested
with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee. The predecessor
Trustee shall deliver to the successor Trustee the Mortgage Loans and related
documents and statements held by it hereunder; and Bluegreen and the predecessor
Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as
may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the
successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 9.8 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.6.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in
this Section 9.8, the Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such
Trustee hereunder to all holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in
the Certificate Register and to the Rating Agency. If the Servicer fails to mail
such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Servicer.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of
the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 9.6, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be
located, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and
shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the
Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part
thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.10, such powers,
duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may
consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such
appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in
the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee
alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate
trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor trustee under Section 9.6 and no notice to Certificateholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 9.8.
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 Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed
by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being
understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act
separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that
under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be
performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer
hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act
or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including
the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee
or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) The Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time
accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the 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 Agreement and the conditions
of this Article IX. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of
the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in
its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as
may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Servicer.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
ARTICLE X TERMINATION
Subject to Section 10.2, the respective obligations and responsibilities of
BRT, Bluegreen, the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee created hereby
(other than the obligation to make payments to Certificateholders as hereafter
set forth in this Section 10.1) shall terminate upon (i) the later of the final
payment or other liquidation (or any Monthly Advance with respect thereto) of
the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) the optional repurchase by
Bluegreen of the Mortgage Loans and any other assets remaining in the Trust Fund
on any Remittance Date after the date on which the Principal Balance of all
Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the Cut-Off Date Principal Balance, at a
price equal to (A) the greater of (x) 100% of the Principal Balance of each such
Mortgage Loan as of the Installment Due Date preceding the Remittance Date upon
which the proceeds of such repurchase are to be distributed, plus interest at
the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate through the last Installment Due Date in
the Collection Period preceding the Remittance Date on which the proceeds of
such repurchase are to be distributed to Certificateholders, and (y) the fair
market value of the Mortgage Loans, plus (B) the fair market value of any other
property remaining in the Trust Fund or (iii) provided that all of the
Certificates not then paid in full are held by Bluegreen, the Depositor or any
of their respective Affiliates (and are not subject to any pledge or repurchase
agreement), by mutual consent of Bluegreen, the Depositor and the Trustee (which
consent, in the case of the Trustee, shall not be unreasonably withheld);
provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue
beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the
descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to
the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof. The fair market value, in the
case of the Mortgage Loans, REO Property or other property in the Trust Fund, is
to be determined by an independent appraiser mutually agreed upon by the
Servicer, the Trustee and Holders of a majority of the principal balance of the
Controlling Class (net of any liquidation expenses to be incurred in connection
with the disposition of such REO Property, estimated in good faith by the
Servicer).
If Bluegreen exercises its right to purchase the Mortgage Loans
pursuant to clause (ii) above, Bluegreen shall provide to the Trustee the
certification required by Section 3.8 and the Trustee shall promptly release the
Mortgage Documents pertaining to the Mortgage Loans to Bluegreen.
Notice of any termination, specifying the Remittance Date upon which
the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for
payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by
Bluegreen (if it is exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust
Fund) or by the Trustee (in any other case) by letter to Certificateholders
mailed not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the
month next preceding the month of such final distribution specifying (a) the
Remittance Date upon which final payment of the Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the
Trustee therein designated, (b) the amount of any such final payment and (c)
that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Remittance Date is not
applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. If
Bluegreen is obligated to give notice to Certificateholders as aforesaid, it
shall give such notice to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar at the time
such notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given by
Bluegreen, Bluegreen shall deposit in the Collection Account on or before the
Remittance Date so specified in immediately available funds an amount equal to
the amount necessary to make the amount, if any, on deposit in the Collection
Account on such Remittance Date equal to the purchase price for the assets of
the Trust Fund computed as above provided. Any such notice, whether given by
Bluegreen or the Trustee, shall be given to the Rating Agency by Bluegreen at
the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.
In the event that Bluegreen has exercised its option to repurchase the
Mortgage Loans as above provided, the proceeds of such repurchase shall be
deposited into the Certificate Account and shall be distributed to
Certificateholders as part of the Amount Available pursuant to Section 5.1.
In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before the final
Remittance Date, the Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in the
Certificate Account not distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders
to be withdrawn from the Certificate Account and credited to the remaining
Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the
benefit of such Certificateholders and Bluegreen (if it exercises its right to
purchase the assets of the Trust Fund) or the Trustee (in any other case) shall
give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender
their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with
respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take
appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact
the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and
the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds on deposit in such escrow
account.
(a) In connection with any termination pursuant to clause (ii) of Section
10.1, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following
additional requirements, unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements
of this Section 10.2 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on
"prohibited transactions" of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F of the
Code or "prohibited contributions" within the meaning of Section 860G(d) of the
Code, or (ii) cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Class A or Class B Certificates are outstanding:
(i) Within 89 days prior to the Remittance Date set forth in the notice
given by Bluegreen under Section 10.1, the Trustee shall adopt a plan of
complete liquidation of the Trust REMIC, meeting the requirements of a qualified
liquidation under the REMIC Provisions;
(ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete
liquidation and at or prior to such Remittance Date, the Trustee shall sell any
remaining assets of the Trust Fund to the Depositor for cash;
(iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
Certificates other than the Class R Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute
or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Class R
Certificates all cash on hand after such final payment (other than cash retained
to meet claims), and the Trust Fund shall terminate at that time; and
(iv) In no event may the final payment on the Certificates (except to
the extent permitted in Section 10.1 with respect to Certificateholders who fail
to surrender their Certificates) be made after the 89th day from the date on
which the plan of complete liquidation is adopted.
(b) By their acceptance of the Class R Certificates, the
Holders thereof hereby authorize the Trustee to adopt such a plan of complete
liquidation upon the written request of Bluegreen and to take such other action
in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by Bluegreen, which
authorization shall be binding upon all successor Class R Certificateholders.
ARTICLE XI REMIC ADMINISTRATION
(a) An election will be made by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust REMIC to
treat the segregated pool of assets constituting the Trust Fund as a REMIC under
the Code (the "Trust REMIC"). Such election will be made on Form 1066 or other
appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the
last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. For purposes
of such election, the Class A and Class B Certificates shall be designated as
the "regular interests" in the Trust REMIC and the Class R Certificates shall be
designated as the "residual interest" in the Trust REMIC. In accordance with the
Code and applicable regulations thereunder, including Treas. Reg.
ss.1.860G-1(a)(4) and (5), the latest possible maturity date for the Class A and
Class B Certificates is December 1, 2011;
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day" of the Trust
REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) Except as provided in Section 3.14 of this Agreement, the Trustee shall
pay (without reimbursement) any and all tax related expenses (not including any
taxes, however denominated, including any additions to tax, penalties and
interest) of the Trust REMIC, including but not limited to any professional fees
or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with
respect to the Trust REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state
tax authorities.
(d) The Trustee shall prepare (or caused to be prepared), sign and file all
of the Trust REMIC's federal and state income or franchise tax and information
returns as the Trust REMIC's direct representative. Except as provided in
Section 3.14 of this Agreement, the expenses of preparing and filing such
returns shall be borne by the Trustee. The Servicer shall provide on a timely
basis to the Trustee or its designee such information with respect to the Trust
REMIC as is in its possession, which the Servicer has received or prepared by
virtue of its activities as Servicer hereunder and reasonably requested by the
Trustee to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such information in the performance of its
obligations hereunder.
(e) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of the Trust REMIC all
reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of the
Trust REMIC under the Code, REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance
issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority.
Among its other duties, the Trustee shall provide (i) to the Internal Revenue
Service or other Persons (including, but not limited to, the transferor of a
Class R Certificate, to a Disqualified Organization or to an agent that has
acquired a Class R Certificate on behalf of a Disqualified Organization) such
information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the
transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Disqualified Organization and (ii) to
the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code
or REMIC Provisions. The Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to the Trustee
or its designee such information with respect to the Trust REMIC as is in its
possession and reasonably requested in writing by the Trustee to enable it to
perform its obligations under this subsection.
(f) The Holder of the greatest percentage of Percentage Interests of
the Class R Certificates shall be the Trust REMIC's Tax Matters Person. The
duties of the Tax Matters Person for the Trust REMIC are hereby delegated to the
Trustee and each Class R Certificateholder, by acceptance of its Class R
Certificate, agrees, on behalf of itself and all successor holders of such Class
R Certificate, to such delegation to the Trustee as their agent and attorney in
fact. The Trustee shall take whatever action is necessary for the signing of
such documents and designation of a Tax Matters Person, including the
designation of such Class R Certificateholder.
(g) The Trustee, the Holders of the Class R Certificates and the
Servicer shall act in accordance with this Agreement and the REMIC Provisions in
order to create and maintain the status of the Trust REMIC as a REMIC or, as
appropriate, adopt a plan of complete liquidation.
(h) The Trustee, the Holders of the Class R Certificates and the
Servicer shall not take any action or cause the Trust REMIC to take any action
that, under the REMIC Provisions, could (i) endanger the status of the Trust
REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust REMIC
(including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in
Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions as defined in
Code Section 860G(d)) unless (A) the Trustee has received a Nondisqualification
Opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) with respect
to such action or (B) the Trustee has received an opinion (at the expense of the
party seeking to take such action) to the effect that such action will not cause
the Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC and the Trustee has calculated
that no tax will actually be imposed.
(i) The Holders of the Class R Certificates shall pay when due their
pro rata share of any and all federal, state and local taxes imposed on the
Trust REMIC or its assets or transactions, including, without limitation,
"prohibited transaction" taxes, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, any tax
on contributions imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code, and any tax on "net
income from foreclosure property" as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code. To
the extent that such Trust REMIC taxes are not paid by the Class R
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall pay any remaining Trust REMIC taxes out of
current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Class R
Certificates or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in
the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(xi).
(j) The Trustee and, to the extent that records are maintained by the
Servicer in the normal course of its businesses, the Servicer shall, for federal
income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the Trust REMIC
on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. The books and records must be
sufficient concerning the nature and amount of the Trust REMIC's investments to
show that the Trust REMIC has complied with the REMIC Provisions.
(k) Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall enter into any
arrangement by which the Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation
for services.
(l) In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth
herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee
within twenty (20) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the
Trustee reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes on the valuations
and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the
yield, prepayment assumption, issue prices and projected cash flows of the Class
A, Class B and Class R Certificates, as applicable, and the projected cash flows
on the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee,
promptly upon request therefor, any such additional information or data that the
Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the
Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Trustee is hereby
directed to use any and all such information or data provided by the Depositor
in the preparation of all federal and state income or franchise tax and
information returns and reports for the Trust REMIC to Certificateholders as
required herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses,
liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors
or miscalculations of the Trustee pursuant to this Section that result from any
failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate
information or data to the Trustee (but not resulting from the methodology
employed by the Trustee) on a timely basis and such indemnifications shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
The Trustee agrees that all such information or data so obtained by it
are to be regarded as confidential information and agrees that it shall use its
best reasonable efforts to retain in confidence, and shall ensure that its
officers, employees and representatives retain in confidence, and shall not
disclose, without the prior written consent of the Depositor, any or all of such
information or data, or make any use whatsoever (other than for the purposes
contemplated by this Agreement) of any such information or data without the
prior written consent of the Depositor, unless such information is generally
available to the public (other than as a result of a breach of this Section
11.1(l)) or is required by law or applicable regulations to be disclosed.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer,
acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall not rent, lease, or otherwise
earn income on behalf of the Trust Fund with respect to any REO Property which
might cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property"
within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by
the Trust REMIC of any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of
section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any "net income from foreclosure property"
within the meaning of Section 860G(c) which is subject to tax under the REMIC
Provisions unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust
Fund's expense) to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant
proposed legislation, any income generated for the Trust REMIC by the REO
Property would not result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust REMIC.
(b) The Trustee, or the Servicer, acting on its behalf hereunder, shall
make reasonable efforts to sell any REO Property for its fair market value. In
any event, however, the Trustee, or the Servicer, acting on its behalf
hereunder, shall dispose of any REO Property within two years of its acquisition
by the Trust Fund unless the Trustee or the Servicer, on its behalf, has been
granted an extension of time (an "Extension") by the Internal Revenue Service to
sell such REO Property. If the Trustee or the Servicer, on its behalf, has
received such an Extension, then the Trustee, or the Servicer, acting on its
behalf hereunder, shall continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its
fair market value for such period longer than two years as such Extension
permits (the "Extended Period"). If the Trustee or the Servicer, on its behalf,
has not received such an Extension and the Trustee, or the Servicer acting on
behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell the REO Property within the
two year period or if the Trustee has received such an Extension, and the
Trustee, or the Servicer acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to
sell the REO Property within the Extended Period, the Servicer shall before the
end of the two-year period or Extended Period, as the case may be, auction the
REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Servicer) in accordance
with Accepted Servicing Practices.
(c) At the time of the delivery of the next subsequent Servicer
Certificate, the Servicer shall provide to the Trustee a statement of accounting
for such REO Property, including without limitation, (i) the date such Mortgaged
Property was acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the
date of disposition of such REO Property, (iii) the gross sales price and
related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued and unpaid interest on the
declining principal balance at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate calculated
from the Installment Due Date to which interest was last paid by the Obligor (or
from the Cut-off Date, if such date is prior to the Cut-off Date) to the
Installment Due Date in the Collection Period next preceding the Remittance Date
on which such Mortgage Loan became a Liquidated Mortgage Loan, and (v) such
other information as the Trustee may reasonably request.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the
Trustee nor the Servicer shall permit any modification of any material term of a
Mortgage Loan (including the interest rate, the outstanding principal balance,
the amortization schedule, the security provisions, or any other term affecting
the amount or timing of payments on or security for such Mortgage Loan) unless
(i) the Trustee and the Servicer have received a Nondisqualification Opinion or
a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (at the expense of the party making
the request of the Servicer or the Trustee to modify such Mortgage Loan) to the
same effect as a Nondisqualification Opinion with respect to such modification
or (ii) a payment default with respect to such Mortgage Loan is reasonably
foreseeable or has occurred and the Servicer determines that a modification,
waiver or amendment of such Mortgage Loan is reasonably likely to produce a
greater recovery on a present value basis than liquidation of the related
Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that the Servicer agrees not to permit
any modification of a Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Interest Rate
or the method of determining the Mortgage Interest Rate, extend the maturity
date of such Mortgage Loan beyond November 7, 2006 or forgive any principal and
interest thereof, unless the Servicer has notified the Trustee and the
Certificateholders of such proposed modification and such modification has been
approved by 100% in Percentage Interests of the Certificateholders; and
provided, further, that no such modification shall release the lien of the
Mortgage on the related Mortgage Property unless the Servicer has obtained a
Nondisqualification Opinion with respect to such modification.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.3, the Trustee shall not permit
the sale, disposition or substitution of the Mortgage Loans or the substitution
of a property for a Mortgaged Property (except in a disposition pursuant to (i)
the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Trust REMIC or (ii) the termination of the
Trust REMIC in a "qualified liquidation" as defined in Section 860F(a)(4) of the
Code), nor acquire any assets for the Trust REMIC (other than REO Property), nor
sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the Certificate
Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to the Trust REMIC (other than a
cash contribution during the 3-month period beginning on the Startup Day),
unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person
requesting the Trustee to take such action) to the effect that such disposition,
acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the
status of the Trust REMIC as a REMIC or of the Certificates, other than the
Class R Certificates, as the regular interests therein, (b) affect the
distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates, (c) result in the
encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust REMIC (except
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (d) cause the Trust REMIC to be
subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "prohibited contributions"
pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
(a) In the event that the Trust REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses
its status as a REMIC, or incurs state or local taxes, or tax as a result of a
prohibited transaction or contribution subject to taxation under the REMIC
Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and
obligations specifically set forth herein, the Trustee shall indemnify the
Holders of the Class R Certificates against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses ("Losses") resulting from such negligence; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable
to the action or inaction of the Servicer, the Depositor or the Holders of the
Class R Certificates nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation
provided by the Servicer, the Depositor or such Holders of the Class R
Certificates on which the Trustee has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed
to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the other Holders of the Class R
Certificates now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
(b) In the event that the Trust REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses
its status as a REMIC, or incurs state or local taxes, or a tax as a result of a
prohibited transaction or contribution subject to taxation under the REMIC
Provisions due to the negligent performance of the Servicer of its duties and
obligations specifically set forth herein, the Servicer shall indemnify the
Holders of the Class R Certificates against any and all Losses resulting from
such negligence; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for
any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the
Depositor, or the Holders of such Class R Certificates nor for any such Losses
resulting from misinformation provided by the Trustee, the Depositor or such
Holders of the Class R Certificates on which the Servicer has relied. The
foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of
the other Holders of the Class R Certificates now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity.
ARTICLE XII MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by BRT, Bluegreen, the
Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee, with the consent of Holders of a
majority of the principal balance of the Controlling Class, to (i) cure any
ambiguity, (ii) amend any provision hereof to the extent necessary or desirable
to maintain the status of the Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (iii) correct or
supplement any provisions herein or therein which may be inconsistent with any
other provisions herein or therein, as the case may be, or to add any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement
which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided,
however, that such action pursuant to clause (iii) shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee, (x) adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto
or (y) adversely affect the status of the Trust REMIC as a REMIC. Any such
amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect any
Holder if the Trustee receives written confirmation from each Rating Agency that
such amendment will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce the then current
rating assigned to any of the rated Certificates that were currently being rated
by the Rating Agency (and any Opinion of Counsel requested by the Trustee in
connection with any such amendment may rely expressly on such confirmation as
the basis therefor).
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by BRT, Bluegreen,
the Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates of each Class affected thereby, voting as a Class, evidencing, as
to each such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating more than 50%, for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of
the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, collections of
payments on Mortgage Loans or distributions which are required to be made on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of each such Certificate or (b)
reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall not consent to any amendment of this Agreement, unless it shall have first
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment will not cause
the Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Class A or
Class B Certificates are outstanding.
Prior to the execution of any such amendment or consent the Trustee
shall notify the Rating Agency thereof and promptly after the execution of any
such amendment or consent the Trustee, shall furnish written notification of the
substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder and to the Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section 12.1 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.
To the extent required by applicable law in order to protect the Trustee's
interest in the Trust Fund, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all
appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or
other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to
the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office
or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by Bluegreen and at its expense.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder's
legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
commence any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust
Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided
in Section 12.1) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management
of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything
herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so
as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members
of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any
third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing
itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement,
unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice
of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless
also the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to such Class,
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% shall have made written
request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own
name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity (which indemnity shall be the unsecured obligation of TIAA or, with
the consent of the Trustee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, any
Major Certificateholder) as it may require against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days
after its receipt of such notice, request an offer of indemnity, shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being
understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each
Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no
one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner and to
the extent whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any
provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right
under this Agreement, except in the manner and to the extent herein provided and
for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the
protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 12.3, each and
every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can
be given either at law or in equity.
Except as set forth in the next sentence, this Agreement shall be construed
in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving
effect to principles of conflicts of laws and the obligations, rights and
remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such
laws.
All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and

to be mailed to a Certificateholder shall be given by first class mail, postage
prepaid, at the address of such Holder as shown in the Certificate Register or,
if so requested, by facsimile transmission. Any notice so mailed within the time
prescribed in this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given, whether or not the Certificateholder receives such notice.
If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of
this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such
