(c) If any assignment of a Mortgage to the Trustee is in the process
of being recorded on the Closing Date, the Depositor shall use its best efforts
to cause each such original recorded document or certified copy thereof to be

later than one (1) year following the Closing Date. If any Mortgage has been
recorded in the name of MERS or its designee, no assignment of Mortgage in favor
of the Trustee will be required to be prepared or delivered and instead, the
Master Servicer shall take all actions as are necessary to cause the Trust Fund
to be shown as the owner of the related Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for
the purpose of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership of
mortgages maintained by MERS. The Depositor shall also cause to be delivered to
the Custodian any other original mortgage loan document included in the Owner
Mortgage File (and, if applicable, the Retained Mortgage File) if a copy thereof
has been delivered. The Depositor shall pay from its own funds, without any
right of reimbursement therefor, the amount of any costs, liabilities and
expenses incurred by the Trust by reason of the failure of the Depositor to
cause to be delivered to the Custodian within one (1) year following the Closing
Date any assignment of a Mortgage (except with respect to any Mortgage recorded
in the name of MERS) not delivered to the Custodian on the Closing Date.
In lieu of recording an assignment of any Mortgage the Depositor
may, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian the assignment of the
Mortgage Loan to the Trustee in a form suitable for recordation, if (i) with
respect to a particular state the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel
acceptable to it that such recording is not required to make the assignment
effective against the parties to the Mortgage or subsequent purchasers or
encumbrancers of the Mortgaged Property or (ii) the Depositor has been advised
by each Rating Agency that non-recordation in a state will not result in a
reduction of the rating assigned by that Rating Agency at the time of initial
issuance of the Certificates. Set forth on Exhibit Q attached hereto is a list
of all states where recordation is required by either Rating Agency to obtain
the initial ratings of the Certificates. The Custodian may rely and shall be
protected in relying upon the information contained in such Exhibit Q. In the
event that the Custodian receives notice that recording is required to protect
the right, title and interest of the Trustee in and to any such Mortgage Loan
for which recordation of an assignment has not previously been required, the
Custodian shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Custodian shall within five
Business Days (or such other reasonable period of time mutually agreed upon by
the Custodian and the Trustee)
-67-
of its receipt of such notice deliver each previously unrecorded assignment to
the related Servicer for recordation.

maximum extent possible before the EPD Limit is exceeded. The Depositor shall
repurchase any EPD Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for
the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and
the Custodian, upon receipt of written notice from the Servicer of such deposit,
shall release to the Depositor the related Mortgage File and shall execute (as
agent of the Trustee) and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in
each case without recourse, as the Depositor shall furnish to it and as shall be
necessary to vest in the Depositor any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto
and the Custodian and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with
regard to such Mortgage File.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by Custodian.
The Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, acknowledges the receipt
of, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the review

all other assets included in the definition of "Trust Fund" and declares that it
holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it
constituting
-68-
the Owner Mortgage File (and in the case of a Document Transfer Event, the
Retained Mortgage File), and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such
other assets included in the definition of "Trust Fund" in trust for the
exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The Custodian, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, shall
execute and deliver to the Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee
and the Depositor on or prior to the Closing Date an initial certification in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 hereto, to the effect that, except as
may be specified in a list of exceptions attached thereto, it has received the
original Mortgage Notes (described in Section 2.01(a)(i)) relating to each
Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedules (other than any Mortgage
Loan that has been paid in full, liquidated or otherwise released as of the date
of such certification, and subject to any exceptions specifically identified in
the exception report annexed to such certification).
The Custodian will review each Owner Mortgage File within 45 days
after execution of this Agreement. The Custodian will deliver no later than 30
days after completion of such review to the Seller and the Trustee a final
certification in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto to the effect that, except as
may be specified in a list of exceptions attached thereto, all required
documents set forth in Section 2.01(a) have been executed and received and
appear regular on their face, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage
Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule based on a comparison of the
Mortgage Loan identifying number, Mortgagor name and street address, and in so
doing the Custodian may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of
any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon.
If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or
preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the
Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File
to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its
review the Custodian shall so notify the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Servicer.
The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and
transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans and the
Related Documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens and
encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee and that such property not be
part of the Depositor's estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any
insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be,
or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor
shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee, on behalf
of the Trust, a first priority perfected security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and the
Related Documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under applicable law.
The Securities Administrator is hereby directed to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Trust, the Yield Maintenance Agreements.

defective document in, or that a document is missing from, an Owner Mortgage
File (or, if applicable, a Retained Mortgage File) or of a breach of a
representation of warranty of the Depositor in Section 2.04 hereof, in respect
of any Mortgage Loan and, except for a breach of the representations and

Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the
Collection Account, and the Custodian, upon receipt of written notice from the
Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Depositor the related Owner
Mortgage File (and, if applicable, Retained Mortgage File). The Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instrument of transfer or assignment (or, in the case
of a Mortgage Loan registered in the name of MERS or its designee, the Servicer
shall reflect such assignment on the records of MERS), in each case without
recourse, and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, as the Depositor shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary
to vest in the Depositor any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the
Custodian and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to
such Owner Mortgage File (and, if applicable, Retained Mortgage File). In lieu
of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Depositor may
cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it
shall become a Defective Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth
in Section 2.03(d).
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in Section 2.04 hereof shall survive delivery of the Owner Mortgage
Files (and, if applicable, Retained Mortgage Files) to the Custodian and shall
inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders notwithstanding any restrictive
or qualified endorsement or assignment. It is understood and agreed that the
obligations of the Depositor set forth in this Section 2.03(a) to cure,
substitute for or repurchase a Mortgage Loan and to pay the Reimbursement Amount
constitute the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders and to the
Trustee on their behalf respecting a breach of the representations and
warranties in Section 2.04 hereof.
(b) In addition to the foregoing, in the case of a breach of the
Depositor's representation set forth in Section 2.04(i) and (dd) hereof, the
Depositor shall pay to the Trust the Reimbursement Amount. The Reimbursement
Amount shall be delivered to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection
Account within 10 days from the date the Depositor was notified by the Trustee
of the amount of such costs and damages.
-70-
(c) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or
receipt of notice by the Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty
or covenant of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan,
the Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.
(d) Any substitution of Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for
Defective Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior
to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to
any Defective Mortgage Loan for which the Depositor substitutes an Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the
Depositor delivering to the Custodian, on the Trustee's behalf for such Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the documents required by Section 2.01,
together with an Officers' Certificate providing that each such Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the
Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described below), if any, in connection with
such substitution. The Custodian shall acknowledge receipt for such Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days thereafter, the
Custodian shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver
to the Servicer and the Trustee, with respect to such Eligible Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit F-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one
year of the date of substitution, the Custodian shall deliver to the Servicer
and the Trustee a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto
with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of
the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Depositor. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the collections
and recoveries in respect of such Defective Mortgage Loan in the Collection
Period or Prepayment Period, as applicable, preceding the date of substitution
and the Depositor shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts
subsequently received in respect of such Defective Mortgage Loan. The Depositor
shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that
such substitution has taken place, shall amend the applicable Mortgage Loan
Schedule to reflect the removal of such Defective Mortgage Loan from the terms
of this Agreement and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan
or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the
Trustee. Upon such substitution, such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects
to the terms of this Agreement, including all applicable representations and
warranties as of the date of substitution.
For any month in which the Depositor substitutes one or more
Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Defective Mortgage Loans, the
Servicer will determine the amount (the "Substitution Adjustment Amount"), if
any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Defective Mortgage Loans
exceeds the aggregate, as to each such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the
principal balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one
month's interest on such principal balance at the applicable Net Mortgage
Interest Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Depositor will deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an
amount equal to the Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, and the Trustee,
upon receipt of the related Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and
notice by the Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Depositor the
related Owner Mortgage
-71-
File (and, if applicable, Retained Mortgage File) and shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as
the Depositor shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any
Defective Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the Depositor shall obtain at its own expense and
deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund,
including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited
transactions" under Section 860F(a)(l) of the Code or on "contributions after
the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(l) of the Code, or (b) any REMIC to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. If such
Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such substitution may only be
effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given.
(e) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan
does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two
Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection
therewith, the Depositor shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage
Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 60 days of the earlier of discovery
or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. In
addition, upon discovery that a Mortgage Loan is defective in a manner that
would cause it to be a "defective obligation" within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations relating to REMICs, the Depositor shall cure the defect or make the
required purchase or substitution no later than 60 days after the discovery of
the defect. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner
as set forth in Section 2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor the
Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same
terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a
representation or warranty.

Servicer to make this Agreement valid and binding upon the Servicer in
accordance with its terms;

ability of the Servicer to carry on its business substantially as now
conducted, or in any material liability on the part of the Servicer, or
that would draw into question the validity or enforceability of this
Agreement or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the
obligations of the Servicer contemplated herein, or that would be likely
to impair materially the ability of the Servicer to perform under the
terms of this Agreement;
(vii) No consent, approval or order of any court or governmental

omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were

It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and
covenants set forth in this Section 2.05 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage

Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Certificateholders. Upon
discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator or
the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations, warranties and
covenants which materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan,
Prepayment Penalty or the interests therein of the Certificateholders, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice (but in no event later
than two Business Days following such discovery) to the other parties hereto.
Section 2.06 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.
The Depositor represents and warrants to the Trust and the Trustee
on behalf of the Certificateholders and to the Servicer and Securities
Administrator as follows:
(i) This agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation

equity);

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE TRUST FUND
Section 3.01 Servicer to Act as Servicer.
The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the normal
and usual standards of practice of sub-prime mortgage servicers servicing
similar mortgage loans in the same respective jurisdictions as the Mortgaged
Properties, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do or
cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration
-82-
which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent with the terms
of this Agreement (the "Servicing Standards").
Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may waive,
modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of
strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any
Mortgagor if in the Servicer's reasonable determination such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the
Certificateholders; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not make future
advances and (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage
Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably
foreseeable) the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any
Mortgage Loan that would (i) change the Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive
the payment thereof of any principal or interest payments, reduce the
outstanding principal amount (except for actual payments of principal) or extend
the final maturity date with respect to such Mortgage Loan, (ii) affect
adversely the status of any REMIC as a REMIC or (iii) cause any REMIC to be
subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the
REMIC Provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not permit
any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would both (x) effect an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1.860G-2(b) of the
Treasury Regulations and (y) cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund
to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on
"prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after the Startup Day under the
REMIC Provisions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer
shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on
behalf of itself and the Trustee, all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the
Mortgaged Properties. The Servicer shall make all required Servicing Advances
and shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
Applicable Regulations, and shall provide to the Mortgagor any reports required
to be provided to them thereby. By the execution of this Agreement, the Trustee
hereby grants to the Servicer, a power of attorney to enable the Servicer to
carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, however,
that the Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of
attorney by the Servicer. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the Servicer shall not, without the Trustee's written consent: (i)
initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee's name without
indicating the Servicer's representative capacity; or (ii) take any action with
the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to
do business in any state.
In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer
shall employ procedures including collection procedures and exercise the same
care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering
mortgage loans for its own account giving due consideration to accepted mortgage
servicing practices of prudent lending institutions and the Certificateholders'
reliance on the Servicer.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the
event of a voluntary Principal Prepayment in full of a Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer may not waive any Prepayment Penalty or portion thereof required by the
terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i)(a) the Servicer determines that
such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar mortgage loans, (b)
such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default and
-83-
(c) would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery of
Liquidation Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of
such Prepayment Penalty, or (ii) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating
to creditors' rights generally or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a
foreclosure or other involuntary payment. If the Servicer has waived or does not
collect all or a portion of a Prepayment Penalty relating to a voluntary
Principal Prepayment in full due to any action or omission of the Servicer,
other than as provided above, the Servicer shall, on the date on which the
Principal Prepayment in full is remitted to the Securities Administrator,
deliver to the Securities Administrator the Servicer Prepayment Penalty Amount
with respect to such Mortgage Loan for distribution in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement.
In the event that a Prepayment Penalty due with respect to any
Mortgage Loan is not timely received by the Servicer, the Servicer shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to determine whether the Originator is obligated
to pay a related Originator Prepayment Penalty Payment Amount, and if the
Servicer determines that a Originator Prepayment Penalty Payment Amount is due,
the Servicer shall promptly notify the Originator, and the Servicer shall
enforce the Originator's obligations to pay in a timely manner any such
Prepayment Penalty Payment Amounts and, to the extent that such amounts are
received by the Servicer, shall cause such amounts to be deposited into the
Collection Account within one Business Day of receipt.
Section 3.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest
on all Mortgage Loans are paid in full or as long as the Mortgage Loan remains
subject to this Agreement, the Servicer will diligently collect all payments due
under each Mortgage Loan when the same shall become due and payable and shall,
to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with the Servicing Standards
set forth in this Agreement and Applicable Regulations, follow such collection
procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the
Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Further, where applicable, the
Servicer will take special care in ascertaining and estimating annual Escrow
Payments that, as provided in the Escrow Agreement, will become due and payable
to that end that the installments payable by the Mortgagors will be sufficient
to pay such charges as and when they become due and payable.
Section 3.03 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan is not
paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails
to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such
failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take
such action as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the
Certificateholders.
In connection with a foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer
shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it hereunder and use the same
degree of care and skill in its exercise as it would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs and consistent with Applicable
Regulations and the Servicing Standards, including, without limitation,
advancing funds for the payment of taxes and insurance premiums with respect to
first lien Mortgage Loans.
-84-
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03, with
respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has received actual notice
of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance
on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall not either (i) obtain
title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action
with respect to, such Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the
Trust would be considered to hold title to, to be a mortgagee-in-possession of,
or to be an owner or operator of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer
has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report
prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary
industry standards, stating that:
A. such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of
the Certificateholders to take such actions as are necessary to bring the
Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and
B. there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property
relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances,
hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which
investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could
be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any
such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it
would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders to take such
actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such environmental audit reveals,
or if the Servicer has actual knowledge or notice, that such Mortgaged Property
contains such wastes or substances, the Servicer shall not foreclose or accept a
deed in lieu of foreclosure without the prior written consent of the NIMS
Insurer.
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this
Section 3.03 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's right
to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section
3.05(ii).
If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the
best economic interest of the Certificateholders to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic
interest of the Certificateholders. The cost of any such compliance,
containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject
to the Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as
provided in Section 3.05(ii).
-85-
Section 3.04 Collection Account, Distribution Account and Reserve
Accounts.
(a) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own
funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
(such account or accounts, the "Collection Account"). Each Collection Account
shall be an Eligible Account.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account within three
Business Days of receipt, and retain therein, the following payments and
collections received or made by it after the applicable Cut-off Date with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, without duplication:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;

adjusted to the Mortgage Interest Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate;
(iii) all Net Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds including amounts required to be

normal servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;
(v) all Condemnation Proceeds affecting any Mortgaged Property which
are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal
servicing procedures, the loan documents or applicable law;
(vi) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer in
connection with any REO Property pursuant to Section 3.13;
(vii) all Prepayment Penalties collected by the Servicer in
connection with the voluntary Principal Prepayment in full of any of the
Mortgage Loans, all Originator Prepayment Penalty Payment Amounts paid by
the Originator and all Servicer Prepayment Penalty Payment Amounts
required to be paid by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01 in connection
with any such Principal Prepayment; and
(viii) all amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant
to Section 2.03.
Any interest paid on funds deposited in the Collection Account,
subject to Section 3.23, shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer and the
Servicer shall be entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(v). The foregoing requirements for
deposit from the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and
agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the
nature of late payment charges, bad check fees, prepayment penalties that are
not Prepayment
-86-
Penalties, Originator Prepayment Penalty Payment Amounts or Servicer Prepayment
Penalty Payment Amounts, assumption fees and other similar fees need not be
deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account. Amounts deposited into the
Collection Account in error may be withdrawn at any time.
(b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator shall
establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the
"Distribution Account"), on behalf of the Trustee, held in trust for the benefit
of the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall
deliver to the Securities Administrator in immediately available funds for
deposit in the Distribution Account by 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the
Servicer Remittance Date, (i) that portion of the Available Funds (calculated
without regard to the references in the definition thereof to amounts that may
be deposited to the Distribution Account from a different source as provided
herein) then on deposit in the Collection Account, (ii) the amount of all
Prepayment Penalties collected by the Servicer in connection with the voluntary
Principal Prepayment in full of any of the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the
Collection Account (other than any such Prepayment Penalties received after the
related Prepayment Period), (iii) any Originator Prepayment Penalty Payment
Amount or Servicer Prepayment Penalty Payment Amount that became due during the
related Prepayment Period and (iv) amounts reimbursable or payable to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01 and Section 8.05 and amounts reimbursable or
payable to the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 8.05 or Section
9.01(c). These amounts may be sent via a single combined wire transfer. Except
as otherwise provided in Section 3.04(f), amounts in the Distribution Account
shall be deemed to be held on behalf of the related REMICs in accordance with
the REMIC distributions set forth in Section 4.08. The Securities Administrator
may, from time to time, withdraw from the Distribution Account for the following
purposes:
(i) to pay to itself and to the Trustee any amounts owed to itself
and the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.05, any amounts owed to itself
pursuant to Section 9.01(c) and any amounts owed to the Trustee pursuant
to Section 7.01;
(ii) to pay to itself as compensation any interest earned on funds

the Trustee) of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when
established and prior to any change thereof. The Securities Administrator shall
give notice to the Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor of
the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any
change thereof.
(d) In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Securities
Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to
be deposited therein, it may at
-87-
any time request that the Securities Administrator withdraw such amount from the
Distribution Account and remit to the Servicer any such amount, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicer shall deliver
to the Securities Administrator from time to time for deposit, and the
Securities Administrator shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account in
respect of REMIC 1:
(i) any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.07;
(ii) any Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal

hazard insurance policy, such deposit being made from the Servicer's own
funds, without reimbursement therefor.
(e) Promptly upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the
Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy, or federal bankruptcy court or other source,
the Securities Administrator shall, unless such funds have been received from

Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal thereof as permitted hereunder. In
addition, the Securities Administrator shall deposit in the Distribution Account
any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.23(b) in connection

Distribution Account.
(f) Any Prepayment Penalties, Originator Prepayment Penalty Payment
Amounts and Servicer Prepayment Penalty Payment Amounts deposited pursuant to
Section 3.04(a)(vii) shall not be assets of any REMIC created hereunder, but
shall be considered assets of the Grantor Trust held by the Securities
Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Class P
Certificateholders. In addition, any Cap Carryover Amounts that are paid with
respect to the Class A or Class M Certificates will be treated as first having
been distributed with respect to the Class CE Certificates and then having been

(g) The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain (I)

(i) to remit to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the
Distribution Account the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to
Section 3.04(b) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first
sentence of Section 3.04(d);
(ii) first, to reimburse the Trustee for any unreimbursed Advances
made by the Trustee and second, to reimburse itself for any unreimbursed
Advances and Servicing Advances; the Servicer's right to reimburse itself
and the Trustee pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts
received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent payments of (a)
principal and/or interest respecting which any such Advance was made or
(b) Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds
respecting which any such Servicing Advance was made;
-91-
(iii) first to reimburse the Trustee for any unreimbursed Advances
made by the Trustee and second to reimburse itself for any unreimbursed
Servicing Advances, any unpaid Servicing Fees and for unreimbursed
Advances, in each case, to the extent that such amounts are deemed to be
Nonrecoverable Advances, and to reimburse itself and the Trustee for such
amounts to the extent that such amounts are nonrecoverable from the
disposition of REO Property pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 3.13
hereof;
(iv) to reimburse itself for any amounts paid or expenses incurred
pursuant to Section 3.03 (and not otherwise previously reimbursed);
(v) to pay to itself as servicing compensation (a) any interest
earned on funds in the Collection Account (all such interest to be
withdrawn monthly not later than each Servicer Remittance Date) and (b)
the Servicing Fee from that portion of any payment or recovery as to
interest to a particular Mortgage Loan to the extent not retained pursuant
to Section 3.04(ii);
(vi) to reimburse itself for any amounts paid pursuant to Section
6.03 (and not otherwise previously reimbursed);
(vii) to reimburse the NIMS Insurer, the Servicer (if the Servicer
is not an Affiliate of the repurchasing party), the Securities
Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, for enforcement expenses
reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect giving rise to the
purchase obligation under Section 2.03 of this Agreement that were
included in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any
expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase obligation;
(viii) to reimburse the Depositor, the Servicer or the NIMS Insurer
for expenses and costs reimbursable to them pursuant to Section 3.24(b);
and
(ix) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the
termination of this Agreement.
The foregoing requirements for withdrawal from the Collection
Account shall be exclusive. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at
any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 3.06 Establishment of Escrow Accounts; Deposits in Escrow
Accounts.
The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received pursuant to each Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments
separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall
establish and maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of time deposit
or demand accounts. A copy of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the
Trustee upon request. The Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account or Accounts within
three Business Days of receipt, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow Payments
collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting timely
payment of any such items as required under
-92-
the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) all Insurance Proceeds which are to be
applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property. The Servicer
shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are required
under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as shall be set forth in, or
in accordance with, Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any
interest paid on funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository
institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to
the Mortgagor and, to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or
Applicable Regulations, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the
Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest bearing or
that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.
Section 3.07 Permitted Withdrawals From Escrow Account.
Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made by the Servicer (i)
to effect timely payments of Escrow Payments, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for
any Servicing Advance made by the Servicer with respect to a related Mortgage
Loan but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent
late payments or Late Collections of Escrow Payments thereunder, (iii) to refund
to the Mortgagor any funds as may be determined to be overages, (iv) for
transfer to the Collection Account in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, (v) for application to restoration or repair of the Mortgaged
Property, (vi) to pay to the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent
required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable Regulations, any interest
paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, (vii) to clear and terminate
the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement, or (viii) to transfer
to the Collection Account any Insurance Proceeds. As part of its servicing
duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagor interest on funds in the Escrow
Account, to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan or Applicable
Regulations, and to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow
Account is insufficient, shall pay such interest from its own funds, without any
reimbursement therefor.
In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Escrow Account any
amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such
amount from the Escrow Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 3.08 Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges;
Collections Thereunder; Primary Mortgage Insurance.
(a) With respect to each Mortgage Loan subject to an Escrow
Agreement, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of
taxes, which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status
of fire, flood (if applicable) and hazard insurance coverage and shall obtain,
from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal
premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or
termination date and at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts
allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in the Escrow
Account which shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in
amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Escrow
Agreement or Applicable Regulations. To the extent that a Mortgage Loan is not
subject to an Escrow Agreement, the Servicer shall determine that any such
payments are made by the Mortgagor. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for
the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills
irrespective of the
-93-
Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the
Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances from its own funds to effect
such payments.
(b) For any Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination
of greater than 80%, if the Mortgage Loan Schedule indicates that such Mortgage
Loan has primary mortgage insurance, the Servicer shall maintain coverage under
a primary mortgage insurance policy until the Loan-to-Value Ratio on any such
Mortgage Loan is reduced to 78% or lower as a result of principal payments on
such Mortgage Loan or based upon an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property
after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Servicer shall be responsible for the payment of all primary mortgage insurance
premiums out of the Servicer's own funds, without any right to reimbursement
therefor. The Servicer shall not assign its obligation under any primary
mortgage insurance policy without the consent of each Rating Agency. In the
event that Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. is no longer Servicer hereunder, Xxxxx Fargo
Bank, N.A. agrees to continue pay all primary mortgage insurance premiums for
the Mortgage Loans.
Section 3.09 Transfer of Accounts.
The Servicer may transfer the Collection Account or the Escrow
Account to a different depository institution from time to time. Upon such
transfer, the Servicer shall deliver to the Securities Administrator (and the
Securities Administrator shall provide to the Depositor and the Trustee), a
certification or letter agreement, as the case may be, as required pursuant to
Sections 3.04 and 3.06.
Section 3.10 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance.
The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan
fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area
where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to
the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or
loss to the improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement cost
basis or (ii) the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, in each case in an
amount not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or
the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is in an
area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency Management Agency
as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the
Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration
with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing
coverage not less than the least of (i) the Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such
Mortgage Loan or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under
the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Servicer shall also
maintain on the REO Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders, (x) fire
and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal
to the replacement cost of the improvements which are a part of such property
and (y) to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster Protection
Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any
amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies other than amounts to
be deposited in the Escrow Account and applied to the restoration or repair of
the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, or released to the Mortgagor in
-94-
accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures, shall be deposited
in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05. It is
understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is
required to be maintained by the Servicer or the Mortgagor or maintained on
property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such
Applicable Regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require
such additional insurance. All such policies shall be endorsed with standard
mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer and shall provide for at
least thirty days prior written notice of any cancellation, reduction in the
amount of or material change in coverage to the Servicer. The Servicer shall not
interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either his
insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall not
accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such
companies currently reflect a general policy rating of B:VI or better in Best's
Key Rating Guide and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the
property subject to the policy is located.
Section 3.11 Maintenance of Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy.
In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket
policy issued by an insurer that has a general policy rating of B:VI or better
in Best's Key Rating Guide insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage
Loans, then, to the extent such policy provides coverage in an amount equal to
the amount required pursuant to Section 3.10 and otherwise complies with all
other requirements of Section 3.10, it shall conclusively be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations as set forth in Section 3.10, it being understood and
agreed that such policy 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 or REO Property a policy complying with Section 3.10,
and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy,
deliver to the Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account
the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such
deductible clause, which amount shall not be reimbursable to the Servicer from
the Trust Fund. In connection with its activities as servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of the Trustee,
claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the
terms of such policy. Upon request of the Securities Administrator, the Servicer
shall cause to be delivered to the Custodian and the Securities Administrator a
certified true copy of such policy and a statement from the insurer thereunder
that such policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without
thirty days prior written notice to the Trustee.
Section 3.12 Fidelity Bond, Errors and Omissions Insurance.
The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity
bond (the "Fidelity Bond") and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with
broad coverage with financially responsible companies on all officers, employees
or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to
handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. The
Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the
Mortgage Banker's Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Servicer against
losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and
negligent acts of such persons. Such Fidelity Bond shall also protect and insure
the Servicer against losses in connection with the failure to maintain any
insurance policies required pursuant to this Agreement and the release or
satisfaction of a Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment
-95-
in full of the indebtedness secured thereby. No provision of this Section 3.12
requiring the Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or
relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this
Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall
be in an amount acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. Upon request of the
Trustee or the NIMS Insurer, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the
Trustee or the NIMS Insurer a certified true copy of the Fidelity Bond and
errors and omissions insurance policy and a statement from the surety and the
insurer that such Fidelity Bond and errors and omissions insurance policy shall
in no event be terminated or materially modified without thirty days' prior
written notice to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer.
Section 3.13 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
(a) In the event that title to a Mortgaged Property is acquired in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders,
or in the event the Trustee is not authorized or permitted to hold title to real
property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would be adversely
affected under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state by so holding
title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person
or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the
Servicer from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the state where the
REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the
Trustee shall acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee
for the benefit of the Trustee. Pursuant to the power of attorney granted in
Section 3.01, the Servicer is hereby authorized to acquire, transfer and dispose
of any REO Property taken in the name of the Trustee pursuant to this Section
3.13 without further documentation of its authority as attorney in fact for the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust.
(b) In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property before the end of
the third calendar year beginning after the year of its acquisition by the Trust
Fund for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or, at the expense of the
Trust Fund, request from the Internal Revenue Service, more than 60 days before
the day on which the above-mentioned grace period would otherwise expire, an
extension of the above-mentioned grace period, unless the Servicer obtains an
Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the NIMS Insurer, addressed and delivered to
the Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, to the effect that the holding
by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to such period will not: (i)
result in the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" as defined in
Section 860F of the Code; or (ii) cause any REMIC constituting any part of the
Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such REO Property
(subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel). The Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for any costs
incurred in obtaining such Opinion of Counsel, as provided in Section 3.05.
Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations as shall
at any time be in force, and notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or
allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust
Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would: (i) cause such
-96-
REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code; or (ii) subject any REMIC constituting part of
the Trust Fund to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income
earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Sections
860F or 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and
hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO
Property for the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund solely for the purpose of
its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not 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 related 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" which
is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. The Servicer shall cause each
REO Property to be inspected promptly upon the acquisition of title thereto and
possession thereof and shall cause each REO Property to be inspected at least
annually thereafter. The Servicer shall make or cause to be made a written or
electronic report of each such inspection. Such reports shall be retained in the
Mortgage File and copies thereof shall be forwarded by the Servicer to the
Trustee upon request. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may
temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to
be in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund.
With respect to each REO Property, the Servicer shall segregate and
hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of the
REO Property separate and apart from its own funds or general assets and shall
deposit or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis, within three Business Days
of receipt, into the Collection Account, all revenues received with respect to
the related REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the
proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the
cost of maintaining any hazard insurance pursuant to Section 3.10 hereof and the
fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Servicer.
The Servicer shall furnish to the Securities Administrator and the
Trustee, on each Servicer Remittance Date, an operating statement for each REO
Property covering the operation of each REO Property for the previous month, if
applicable. Such operation statement shall be accompanied by such other
information as the Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall reasonably
request.
The Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO
Property as promptly as is practically consistent with protecting the
Certificateholders' interests.
Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such
price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the best
interest of the Certificateholders. If as of the date title to any REO Property
was acquired by the Servicer there were outstanding unreimbursed Servicing
Advances with respect to the REO Property, the Servicer, upon an REO Disposition
of such REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances from proceeds received in connection with such
REO Disposition. The Servicer shall be entitled to an REO Disposition Fee upon
each REO Disposition, and may withhold and retain the REO Disposition Fee from
Liquidation Proceeds.
-97-
The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any payments to the Servicer as
provided above, shall be deposited in the Collection Account and shall be
distributed to the Trust in the month following receipt thereof in accordance
with Section 4.01.
Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the
REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other
consideration and an Opinion of Counsel is obtained by the Servicer to the
effect that such sale shall not cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust
Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC).
Section 3.14 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and Substitution
Agreements.
When a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the
Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance
or prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the
related Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause contained in the related
Mortgage or Mortgage Note; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not
exercise any such right if the "due-on-sale" clause, in the reasonable belief of
the Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law. In such event, the
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to enter into an assumption and
modification agreement with the Person to whom such property has been or is
about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the
Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law or the Mortgage, the
Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If the foregoing is not permitted under
applicable law, the Servicer is authorized to enter into a substitution of
liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor
is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and
becomes liable under the Note. The Mortgage Loan, as assumed, shall conform in
all respects to the requirements, representations and warranties of this
Agreement. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such assumption or
substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee (or the
Custodian, as the case may be) the original copy of such assumption or
substitution agreement (indicating the Mortgage File to which it relates) which
copy shall be added by the Trustee (or the Custodian, as the case may be) to the
related Mortgage File and which shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of
such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof. The Servicer shall be responsible for recording any
such assumption or substitution agreements. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 3.01, in connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement,
the Monthly Payment on the related Mortgage Loan shall not be changed but shall
remain as in effect immediately prior to the assumption or substitution, the
stated maturity or outstanding principal amount of such Mortgage Loan shall not
be changed nor shall any required monthly payments of principal or interest be
deferred or forgiven. Any fee collected by the Servicer for consenting to any
such conveyance or entering into an assumption or substitution agreement shall
be retained by or paid to the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph 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 by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be
restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
-98-
Section 3.15 Duties of the Credit Risk Manager.
For and on behalf of the Depositor, the Credit Risk Manager shall
provide reports and recommendations as to loss mitigation activities concerning
Mortgage Loans that are past due, are in default, as to which there has been
commencement of foreclosure, as to which there has been forbearance in exercise
of remedies, as to which any obligor is the subject of bankruptcy, receivership,
or an arrangement of creditors, or which have become REO Properties. Such
reports and recommendations will be based upon information provided pursuant to
the Credit Risk Management Agreement. The Credit Risk Manager shall look solely
to the Servicer for all information and data (including loss and delinquency
information and data) and loan-level information and data relating to the
servicing of the Mortgage Loans.
The Credit Risk Manager may be removed at any time by a vote of
Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing at least 66 2/3% of the
aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificates. After any such termination, the
Credit Risk Manager shall have no further obligations hereunder, and shall no
longer be entitled to the Credit Risk Manager Fee.
Section 3.16 Optional Purchases of 60+ Day Delinquent Loans.
(a) The NIMS Insurer may, at its option, purchase a Mortgage Loan
which has become 60 or more days delinquent or for which the Servicer has
accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Prior to purchase pursuant to this
Section 3.16(a), the Servicer shall be required to continue to make Advances
pursuant to Section 4.07. The NIMS Insurer shall not use any procedure in
selecting Mortgage Loans to be repurchased which is materially adverse to the
interests of the Certificateholders. The NIMS Insurer shall purchase such
delinquent Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price of such Mortgage
Loan. Any such purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16(a)
shall be accomplished by remittance to the Servicer for deposit in the
Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase Price. The Trustee shall
immediately effectuate the conveyance of such delinquent Mortgage Loan to the
NIMS Insurer to the extent necessary to vest in the NIMS Insurer title to such
Mortgage Loan, including the prompt delivery of all documentation to the NIMS
Insurer.
(b) The Depositor may, at its option, with the consent of the NIMS
Insurer, purchase any 60+ Day Delinquent Loan or any Mortgage Loan or REO
Property for which the Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure
during the following time periods: (i) beginning on the first day of the second
month following the month in which the Servicer has reported that it has
initiated foreclosure proceedings with respect to such 60+ Day Delinquent Loan,
with such repurchase option expiring on the last day of such second following
month; (ii) beginning on the first day of the second month following the month
in which the Servicer has reported that such defaulted Mortgage Loan has become
an REO Property, with such repurchase option expiring on the last day of such
second following month; and (iii) beginning on the day on which the Servicer
accepts a contractual commitment by a third party to purchase the Mortgaged
Property related to the 60+ Day Delinquent Loan or REO Property, with such
repurchase option expiring on the earlier of the last day of the month in which
such contractual commitment was accepted by the Servicer or the day immediately
prior to the day on which the closing occurs with respect to such third party
purchase of the Mortgaged Property related to the 60+ Day Delinquent Loan or REO
Property.
-99-
Prior to purchase pursuant to this Section 3.16, the Servicer
shall be required to continue to make monthly Advances pursuant to Section 4.07.
The Depositor shall not use any procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be
purchased which is materially adverse to the interests of the
Certificateholders. The Depositor shall purchase any such 60+ Day Delinquent
Loan or REO Property that it elects to purchase at a price equal to the Purchase
Price. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan or REO Property
shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of
written certification from the Depositor of such deposit, shall release to, or
at the direction of, the Depositor, the related Mortgage File and shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Depositor shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest
in the Depositor any Mortgage Loan or REO Property released pursuant hereto and
the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage
File.
Section 3.17 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan (including any
liquidation of any Mortgage Loan through foreclosure or otherwise, or the
receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed
in a manner customary for such purposes), the Servicer shall confirm to the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator that all amounts required to be
remitted to the Distribution Account in connection with such Mortgage Loan have
been so deposited, and the Servicer shall deliver two copies of such Request for
Release to the Custodian. The Custodian shall, within five Business Days of its
receipt of such a Request for Release, release the related Owner Mortgage File
(and Retained Mortgage File, if applicable) to the Servicer, as requested by the
Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction
or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Distribution Account.
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, collection under
any insurance policies, or to effect a partial release of any Mortgaged Property
from the lien of the Mortgage, the Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian two
copies of a Request for Release. The Custodian shall, within five Business Days,
release the related Owner Mortgage File (and Retained Mortgage File, if
applicable) to the Servicer. Any such Request for Release shall obligate the
Servicer to return the Owner Mortgage File (and Retained Mortgage File, if
applicable) to the Custodian by the twenty-first day following the release
thereof, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation
Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Distribution
Account or (ii) the Owner Mortgage File, Retained Mortgage File, if applicable,
or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or
other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing
legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property
either judicially or non-judicially. Upon receipt of two copies of a Request for
Release stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts
received or to be received in connection with such liquidation which are
required to be deposited into the Distribution Account have been so deposited,
or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, the Custodian shall amend
its records.
Upon written certification of the Servicer pursuant to clause (ii)
of the preceding paragraph, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the
Servicer, as directed by the Servicer, court
-100-
pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents necessary to the
foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal
action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law
or in equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such
pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the
reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and
delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien
of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of
the foreclosure proceeding or trustee's sale.
(b) Subject to Section 3.01, the Servicer shall have the right to
accept applications of Mortgagors for consent to (i) partial releases of
Mortgages, (ii) alterations, and (iii) removal, demolition or division of
properties subject to Mortgages. No application for approval shall be considered
by the Servicer unless: (w) either (A) it has received an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Trustee (which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee
or the Trust Fund) that such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or
contribution will not affect adversely the status of any REMIC constituting part
of the Trust Fund as a REMIC or cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust
Fund to be subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions"
pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or (B) other evidence satisfactory to the
Servicer; (x) the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been
complied with; (y) the Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio after any
release does not exceed the maximum Loan-to-Value Ratio and debt-to-income ratio
established in accordance with the underwriting standards of the Mortgage Loans;
and (z) the lien priority of the related Mortgage is not affected. Upon receipt
by the Trustee of a Servicing Officer's certificate setting forth the action

determinable, from information contained therein, including the Servicer's
compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator are entitled to rely exclusively on Officers'
Certificates).

the Servicer designated by it.
Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Securities
Administrator its most recent financial statements and such other information
relating to the Servicer's capacity to perform its obligations under this
Agreement as it possesses. The Securities Administrator shall deliver such

do so (i) in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other
governmental agencies or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority
having jurisdiction over the Depositor and the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in

resulting from Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans during the related
Prepayment Period and (B) its aggregate Servicing Fee received in the related
Collection Period. The Servicer shall apply Compensating Interest to offset any
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls attributable to Principal Prepayments in full on
the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for
any amounts remitted to the Securities Administrator in respect of Compensating
Interest. Such amounts so remitted shall be included in the Available Funds and
distributed therewith on the next Distribution Date.
Section 3.23 Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and the
Distribution Account.
(a) The Servicer may direct in writing any depository institution
maintaining the Collection Account and the Securities Administrator may direct
in writing any depository institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for
purposes of this Section 3.23, each an
-103-
"Investment Account"), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or
more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing,
unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such
account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Securities
Administrator is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which
such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this
Agreement, if the Securities Administrator is the obligor thereon. All such
Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any
investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the
Securities Administrator or the Servicer, as applicable (in its capacity as
such) or in the name of a nominee of the same. The Servicer or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, shall be entitled to sole possession over each
such investment and the income thereon, and any certificate or other instrument
evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Securities
Administrator or its agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to
transfer title to such investment to the Securities Administrator or its
nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any
time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Servicer or the
Securities Administrator:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given
thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the
last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature
hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all
amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount
required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly
upon determination by a Responsible Officer of the
Securities Administrator that such Permitted Investment
would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect
of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment
Account.
(b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds in the
Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer. The Servicer shall
deposit in the Collection Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of
any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon
realization of such loss. All income and gain realized from the investment of
funds in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Securities
Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall deposit in the Distribution
Account the amount of any loss incurred on Permitted Investments in the
Distribution Account.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or
if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted
Investment, the Securities Administrator may and, subject to Section 8.01 and
Section 8.02(a)(v), upon the request of the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of
Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any
Class of Certificates, shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce
such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of

Section 3.24 Liability of Servicer; Indemnification.
(a) Subject to clause (b) below and Section 6.03, the Servicer
(except the Securities Administrator if it is required to succeed the Servicer
hereunder) indemnifies and holds the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the
NIMS Insurer and the Depositor (and their respective officers, directors and
Affiliates) and each Certificateholder harmless against any and all claims,
losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and any
Certificateholder may sustain in any way related to the failure of the Servicer
to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the
Servicing Standards. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and each
Certificateholder if a claim is made that may result in such claims, losses,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees or related costs, judgments, or any
other costs, fees and expenses, and the Servicer shall assume (with the consent
of the Securities Administrator) the defense of any such claim and pay all
expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and
promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered
against the Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor,
the NIMS Insurer and/or Certificateholder in respect of such claim. The
provisions of this Section 3.24 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.
(b) None of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Servicer, or any of
the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer
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, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer or the Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties or
representations made herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the
Servicer for a breach of the Servicing Standard, or against any liability which
would otherwise be imposed by reason of its respective willful misfeasance, bad
faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reasons of
negligent disregard of its respective obligations or duties hereunder.
The Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Servicer,
may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is
properly executed and submitted by any appropriate Person with respect to any
matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the
Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any
loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating
to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense
incurred in connection with any legal action incurred by reason of its
respective misfeasance, bad faith, fraud or negligence, a breach of a
representation or warranty hereunder or (in the case of the Servicer) a breach
of the Servicing Standard in the performance of its respective duties or by
reason of negligent disregard of its respective obligations or duties hereunder.
Neither the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer nor the Servicer shall be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action
is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and in its opinion does
not expose it to any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the
Depositor, the NIMS
-105-
Insurer and the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any action related to
its obligations hereunder which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect
to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the
interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. The Servicer's right to indemnity
or reimbursement pursuant to this Section shall survive any resignation or
termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01 with respect to any
losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such resignation or
termination (or arising from events that occurred prior to such resignation or
termination). In such event, unless the Depositor or the Servicer acts without
the consent of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as and to the extent provided in Section
3.05, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account.
Section 3.25 Reports of Foreclosure and Abandonment of Mortgaged
Properties.
On or before April 30 of each year beginning in 20 , the Servicer
shall file the reports of foreclosure and abandonment of any Mortgaged Property
required by Section 6050J of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service and
provide an Officer's Certificate certifying its compliance with this Section
3.25 to the Trustee. The reports from the Servicer shall be in form and
substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Section
6050J.
Section 3.26 Limitation of Liability of the Credit Risk Manager.
Neither the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Credit Risk Manager, shall be under any liability to
the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Certificateholders or the
Depositor for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action
in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, in reliance upon information provided
by the Servicer under the Credit Risk Management Agreement or for errors in
judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Credit
Risk Manager or any such person against liability that would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful malfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in its
performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard for its obligations
and duties under this Agreement or the applicable Credit Risk Management
Agreement. The Credit Risk Manager and any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Credit Risk Manager may rely in good faith on any document of any kind
prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder, and may rely in good faith upon the accuracy of information
furnished by the Servicer pursuant to the applicable Credit Risk Management
Agreement in the performance of its duties thereunder and hereunder.
-106-
Section 3.27 No Personal Solicitation.
From and after the Closing Date, the Servicer agrees that it will
not take any action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its
agents and Affiliates, or by any independent contractors or independent mortgage
brokerage companies on the Servicer's behalf, to personally, by telephone, mail
or electronic mail, solicit the Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan for the
purpose of refinancing such Mortgage Loan; provided, that the Servicer may
solicit any Mortgagor for whom the Servicer has received a request for
verification of mortgage, a request for demand for payoff, a mortgagor initiated
written or verbal communication indicating a desire to prepay the related
Mortgage Loan, or the mortgagor initiates a title search; provided further, it
is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the Servicer or any of
its Affiliates which (i) concern optional insurance products or other additional
products or (ii) are directed to the general public at large, including, without
limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired mailing lists,
newspaper, radio and television advertisements shall not constitute solicitation
under this Section, nor is the Servicer prohibited from responding to
unsolicited requests or inquiries made by a Mortgagor or an agent of a
Mortgagor. Furthermore, the Servicer shall be permitted to include in its
monthly statements to borrowers or otherwise, statements regarding the
availability of the Servicer's counseling services with respect to refinancing
mortgage loans.
Section 3.28 Periodic Filings.
(a) The Securities Administrator and the Servicer shall reasonably

reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Securities Administrator shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any Forms 8-K
(except for the Form 8-K for which this Agreement is attached as a exhibit
thereto) and 10-K customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange
Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder, and the
Securities Administrator shall file (via the Commission's Electronic Data
Gathering and Retrieval System) such Forms on behalf of the Depositor. The
Servicer shall be responsible for signing all 8-Ks and 10-Ks required to be
filed.
(b) The Securities Administrator shall file a Form 8-K within 15
days after each Distribution Date, including a Form 8-K with a copy of the

required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission),
the Securities Administrator shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by
applicable law or applicable Commission staff interpretations. Such Form 10-K
shall include as exhibits the Servicer's annual statement of compliance
described under Section 3.19 and the accountant's report described under Section
3.20, in each case to the extent they have been timely delivered to the
Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall have no liability
with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports
resulting from or relating to the Securities Administrator's inability or
failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence or
willful misconduct. The Form 10-K and any amended Form 10-K shall also include a
certification of the Servicer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O (the
"Sarbanes Oxley Certification"), which shall be signed by the senior officer of
the Servicer
-107-
in charge of its servicing, and which the Servicer shall deliver to the
Securities Administrator prior to March 15th of each year in which a Form 10-K
is to be filed with respect to the Trust.
(c) Not later than 15 calendar days before the date on which the
Depositor's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance
with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission (or, if
such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), the
Securities Administrator shall sign and deliver to the Servicer a certification
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P (the "Securities Administrator's
Certification") for the benefit of the Servicer and its officers, directors and
Affiliates as to items 1 through 3 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification;
provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall not undertake an
analysis of the accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K. In
addition, the Securities Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Servicer and each Person, if any, who "controls" the Servicer within the meaning
of the Securities Act and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and
against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and
necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses
arising out of or based upon a breach of the Securities Administrator's
obligations under this Section 3.28(c) or the Securities Administrator's
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith or any
inaccuracy in the Securities Administrator's Certification. If the
indemnification provided for in this Section 3.28(c) is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless such Persons, then the Securities Administrator
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Persons as a result of
the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such Persons in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor or the Servicer on
the one hand and the Securities Administrator on the other. The Securities
Administrator acknowledges that the Servicer is relying on the Securities
Administrator's performance of its obligations under this Section 3.28(c) in
order to perform its obligations under Section 3.28(b) above.
(d) Upon any filing with the Commission, the Securities
Administrator shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any such
executed report, statement or information.
(e) If the Commission issues additional interpretative guidance or
promulgates additional rules or regulations, or if other changes in applicable
law occur, which would require the reporting arrangements, or the allocation of
responsibilities with respect thereto, described in this Section 3.28, to be
conducted differently than as described, the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Securities Administrator will reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of
this Section 3.28 in order to comply with such amended reporting requirements
and such amendment of this Section 3.28. Any such amendment shall be made in
accordance with Section 11.01 without the consent of the Certificateholders, and
may result in a change in the reports filed by the Securities Administrator on
behalf of the Trust under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none
of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Securities Administrator shall be
obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section 3.28 that
adversely affects its obligations and immunities under this Agreement.
(f) Prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Securities
Administrator is able to do so under applicable law, the Securities
Administrator shall file a Form 15D Suspension Notification with respect to the
Trust.

Business Day if such 15th calendar day is not a Business Day, the Servicer shall
deliver to the Securities Administrator by telecopy (or by such other means as
the Servicer and the Securities Administrator may agree from time to time) a
Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date. On the same
date, the Servicer shall electronically forward to the Securities Administrator
in such medium as may be agreed between the Servicer and the Securities
-121-
Administrator the information set forth in such Remittance Report with respect
to the related Distribution Date and such information reasonably available to
the Servicer necessary in order for the Securities Administrator to perform the
calculations necessary to make the distributions and allocations contemplated by
Section 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 and to prepare the Distribution Date Statement. The
Securities Administrator shall not be responsible to recompute, recalculate or
verify any information provided to it by the Servicer.
(b) The amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer for any
Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.07(d), the sum of (i) the
aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fee), due
during the related Collection Period in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which
Monthly Payments were delinquent on a contractual basis as of the close of

Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related
Collection Period and as to which REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur
during the related Collection Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of
the REO Imputed Interest on such REO Property for such Collection Period, over
the net income from such REO Property transferred to the Distribution Account
pursuant to Section 3.13 for distribution on such Distribution Date. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the Monthly Payment on each Balloon Loan
with a delinquent Balloon Payment is equal to the assumed monthly payment that
would have been due on the related Due Date based on the original principal
amortization schedule for such Balloon Loan.
On or before 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the Servicer Remittance
Date, the Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the Securities
Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the
aggregate amount of Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage
Loans for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii)
from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future
distribution (in which case it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the
records of the Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have
been, as permitted by this Section 4.07, used by the Servicer in discharge of
any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii)
aggregating the total amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect
to the Mortgage Loans. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used
shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer's records and replaced by the
Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future Servicer
Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Funds for the related
Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances to be made on the
Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be
distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 and
4.02 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future distributions had
not been so used to make Advances. The Securities Administrator will provide
notice to the Servicer by telecopy by 4:00 p.m. New York City time on any
Servicer Remittance Date in the event that (i) the Servicer fails to remit the
Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the related Distribution Date
or (ii) the amount remitted by the Servicer to the Securities Administrator on
such date is less than the Advances required to be made by the Servicer for the
related Distribution Date, as set forth in the related Remittance Report.
(c) The obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances is
mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to
(d) below, and, with respect
-122-
to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue until the earlier of such time as the Trust
acquires title to the related Mortgaged Property or such Mortgage Loan is paid
in full by the Mortgagor or disposed of by the Trust, or until the recovery of
all Liquidation Proceeds thereon.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or
Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such
Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination
by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced
by an Officers' Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Securities
Administrator.
(e) In the event that the Servicer fails to remit any Advances as
required pursuant to this Section 4.07, the Securities Administrator shall
notify the Trustee by 4:00 p.m. on the Servicer Remittance Date. On or before
11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Distribution Date immediately following the
Servicer Remittance Date, the Trustee shall remit in immediately available funds
to the Securities Administrator such Advances that the Servicer was required but
failed to make for the related Distribution Date; provided that the Trustee may
conclusively rely upon any determination by the Servicer that an Advance if made
would be a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided further that the Trustee is not
obligated to make any Advance that the Trustee, in its good faith business
judgment, determines would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, such
determination to be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the Trustee
delivered to the Securities Administrator. So long as there is no Servicer Event
of Termination as a result of 7.01(a)(i)(A), the Servicer shall pay to the
Trustee interest at an annual rate equal to Prime Rate, adjusted as of the date
of each change, plus two percentage points, but in no event greater than the
maximum amount permitted by applicable law on any Advances made by the Trustee
and not reimbursed in accordance with this Agreement. Such interest shall be
solely an obligation of the Servicer and shall not be payable or reimbursable
form any assets of the Trust Fund.

designation "GRP" equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans in the related group of Mortgage Loans; second, to each
REMIC 1 Regular Interest ending with the designation "SUB," so that the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest is
equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans in the related group of Mortgage Loans over (y) the
aggregate current Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates in the
related group of Mortgage Loans (except that if any such excess is a
larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount
of principal shall be distributed to such REMIC 1 Regular Interests such
that the REMIC 1 Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and third, any
remaining principal to REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1XX.

Balance of each REMIC 1 Regular Interest ending with the designation "GRP"
equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans in the related Loan Group; second, to each REMIC 1 Regular Interest
ending with the designation "SUB," so that the Uncertificated Principal
Balance of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest is equal to 0.01% of the

(c) Realized Losses allocated to REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1M8A and
REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1M8B pursuant to priority fifth of Section

are Corresponding Classes in the same proportion as the increase is allocated to
the applicable REMIC 2 Regular Interests).
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
above distributions in this Section 4.08 (other than on the Certificates) are
deemed distributions, and distributions of funds from the Distribution Account
shall be made only in accordance with Sections 4.01 and 4.02 hereof.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates.
Each of the Class AI-1A, Class AI-1B, Class AI-2, Class AI-3, Class
AI-4, Class AI-5, Class AI-6, Class AI-7, Class AI-8, Class AI-9, Class AII-1A,
Class AII-1B, Class AIII-1, Class AIII-2, Class AIII-3, Class M-1, Class M-2,
Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5, Class M-6, Class M-7, Class M-8A, Class M-8B,
Class M-9, Class M-10, Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates shall be
substantially in the forms annexed hereto as exhibits, and shall, on original
issue, be executed by the Securities Administrator and authenticated and
delivered by the Certificate Registrar to or upon the receipt of a Written Order
to Authenticate from the Depositor concurrently with the sale and assignment to
the Trustee of the Trust Fund. Each Class of the Certificates (other than the
Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates) shall be initially evidenced by one
or more Certificates representing a Percentage Interest with a minimum dollar
denomination of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The
Class CE and Class P Certificates are issuable only in minimum Percentage
Interests of 10%. The Class R Certificate is issuable only as a single
certificate.
The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual
or facsimile signature on behalf of the Securities Administrator by a
Responsible Officer. 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 Securities Administrator shall bind the Trust,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so
authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did
not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be
entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless
such Certificate shall have been manually authenticated by the Certificate
Registrar 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 authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. Subject to Section
5.02(c), the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and Class R
Certificates) shall be Book-Entry Certificates. The Class CE, Class P and Class
R Certificates shall not be Book-Entry Certificates but shall be issued in fully
registered certificate form.
-128-
Section 5.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Securities Administrator a Certificate Register in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of
transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Securities
Administrator shall initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of
registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein
provided. The Securities Administrator as Certificate Registrar shall be subject
to the same standards of care, limitations on liability and rights to indemnity
as the Securities Administrator, and the provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02,
8.03, 8.04, 8.05, 8.14, 8.15 and 8.16 shall apply to the Certificate Registrar
to the same extent as they apply to the Securities Administrator. Any
Certificate Registrar appointed in accordance with this Section 5.02(a) may at
any time resign by giving at least 30 days' advance written notice of
resignation to the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer and the
Depositor, such resignation to become effective upon appointment of a successor
Certificate Registrar.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at
any office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose
pursuant to the foregoing paragraph and, in the case of the Class R Certificate,
upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Securities
Administrator on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Certificate Registrar
shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same aggregate Percentage
Interest.
At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates in authorized denominations and the same
aggregate Percentage Interests, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute on behalf
of the Trust and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the
Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange shall (if so required by the Securities Administrator or the
Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Securities Administrator and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing.
(b) Upon original issuance, the Book-Entry Certificates shall be
issued in the form of one or more typewritten certificates, to be delivered to
the Depository by, or on behalf of, the Depositor; or to, and deposited with the
Certificate Custodian, on behalf of the Depository, if directed to do so
pursuant to instructions from the Depository. Except as provided in paragraph
(c) below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in
the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of
such Certificates may not be transferred by the Securities Administrator except
to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records
with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and
transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of
such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable
rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual
and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v)
the Securities Administrator shall for
-129-
all purposes deal with the Depository as representative of the Certificate
Owners of the Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders
under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such
representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Securities Administrator may
rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the
Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the
Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and Persons
shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect
Certificate Owners; and (vii) the direct participants of the Depository shall
have no rights under this Agreement under or with respect to any of the
Certificates held on their behalf by the Depository, and the Depository may be
treated by the Securities Administrator and its agents, employees, officers and
directors as the absolute owner of the Certificates for all purposes whatsoever.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall
be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners that it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. The parties hereto
are hereby authorized to execute a Letter of Representations with the Depository
or take such other action as may be necessary or desirable to register a
Book-Entry Certificate to the Depository. In the event of any conflict between
the terms of any such Letter of Representation and this Agreement, the terms of
this Agreement shall control.
(c) If the Depository advises the Securities Administrator in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly
its responsibilities as Depository and the Securities Administrator or the
Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor and upon surrender to the
Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration,
the Securities Administrator shall, at the Trust's expense, execute on behalf of
the Trust and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate definitive, fully
registered certificates (the "Definitive Certificates"). None of the Depositor
or the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any delay in delivery of
such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the
Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, any Paying Agent and the Depositor shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
(d) Except with respect to a transfer of the Private Certificates
between or among the Depositor, the Seller, their affiliates or both, no
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Private Certificate shall be
made unless such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the
1933 Act, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with
the 1933 Act and laws. In the event of any such transfer, (i) unless such
transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A (as evidenced by the investment
letter delivered to the Certificate Registrar, in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit J-2) under the 1933 Act, the Certificate Registrar
and the Depositor shall require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be
in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor that such transfer
may be made pursuant to an exemption,
-130-
describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act or
is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor or (ii) the Certificate
Registrar shall require the transferor to execute a transferor certificate (in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L) and the transferee to
execute an investment letter in substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit J-1 or J-2 (in the case of the Class P, Class CE or Class R
Certificates) or in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2 (in the case of the
Class M-8A, Class M-8B, Class M-9 or Class M-10 Certificates) acceptable to and
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the
Certificate Registrar certifying to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar
the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an
expense of the Certificate Registrar or the Depositor. The Holder of a Private
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor 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. For purposes of this Section 5.02(d) the
representations required in any transferor certificate (substantially in the
form of Exhibit L hereto) and any investment letter (substantially in the form
of Exhibit J-2 hereto) shall be deemed to have been made in connection with the
transfer of any Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate.
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless
the Certificate Registrar shall have received either (i) a representation from
the transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, (such requirement
is satisfied only by the Certificate Registrar's receipt of a representation
letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, as
appropriate), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975
of the Code or a plan subject to any federal, state or local law ("Similar Law")
materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or of the Code, nor a
person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement nor using the assets of
any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer or (ii) (except in the case
of the Class R Certificate) in the case of any such ERISA Restricted Certificate
presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to
ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or
comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such
plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or
using such plan's or arrangement's assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to
the Certificate Registrar, to the effect that the purchase or holding of such
ERISA Restricted Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-exempt
prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA Section 4975 of the Code on
Similar Law and will not subject the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, the NIMS Insurer or the Certificate Registrar to any
obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any
liability. For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such
representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Certificate Registrar by
the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in any such
Class of ERISA-Restricted Certificates, unless the Certificate Registrar shall
have received from the transferee an alternative representation acceptable in
form and substance to the Depositor. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or
on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code
or Similar Law without the delivery to the Certificate Registrar of an Opinion
of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar as described above shall be
void and of no effect.
-131-
Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in the
Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to
execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in
connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any
Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the
following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in the
Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its
status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in the Class R
Certificate unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided
interest.
(iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership
Interest in the Class R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall as a
condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to it, in form
and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following:
A. an affidavit in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed
transferee to the effect that, among other things, such transferee is a
Permitted Transferee and that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the
Class R Certificate that is the subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee,
trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee; and
B. a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the
proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer
restrictions applicable to the Class R Certificate.
(iv) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest
in the Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported transferee. If any purported transferee shall, in violation of
the provisions of this Section, become the Holder of the Class R
Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a
Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the registration of
transfer of such Class R Certificate was not in fact permitted by this
Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the
date of 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 the Class R Certificate that is in fact not
permitted by this Section or for making any distributions due on such
Class R Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as
the Certificate Registrar received the documents specified in clause
(iii). The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to recover from any
Holder of the Class R Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted
Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made
on such Class R Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the
Securities Administrator shall be distributed and delivered by the
-132-
Securities Administrator to the prior Holder of such Class R Certificate
that is a Permitted Transferee.
(v) If any Person other than a Disqualified Organization acquires
any Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate in violation of the
restrictions in this Section, then the Certificate Registrar shall have
the right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of the
Class R Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership Interest
therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of the Class R
Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may
include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in
connection with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be
remitted by the Securities Administrator to the previous Holder of the
Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the
event that the Securities Administrator determines that the Holder of the
Class R Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section or
any other provisions of this Agreement, the Securities Administrator may
withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such
claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be
determined in the sole discretion of the Securities Administrator and it
shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in the
Class R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
(vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any
Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate in violation of the
restrictions in this Section, then the Securities Administrator will
provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in
Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the
tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of residual
interests to disqualified organizations. The Securities Administrator
shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for providing such
information from the person to whom it is provided.
The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers
occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the
Certificate Registrar, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of
the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such
Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC hereunder to
fail to qualify as a REMIC.
(e) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the Certificate Registrar may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be cancelled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of
pursuant to its standard procedures.
Section 5.03 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
-133-
Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Securities Administrator, the
Trustee, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Certificate Registrar such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless,
then, in the absence of notice to the Securities Administrator or the
Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Securities Administrator shall execute on behalf of the Trust,
and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or
in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section, the Securities Administrator or the Certificate
Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Securities Administrator and
the Certificate Registrar) in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section, shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the
lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners.
The Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and
any agent of the Servicer, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent may
treat the Person, including a Depository, in whose name any Certificate is
registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02 and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the NIMS Insurer nor any agent of any of them shall be affected
by notice to the contrary.
Section 5.05 Appointment of Paying Agent.
The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from
the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01 and 4.02 and shall report the
amounts of such distributions to the Securities Administrator. The duties of the
Paying Agent may include the obligation to distribute statements and provide
information to Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent
hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly incorporated and validly existing
under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be
the Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator may appoint a
successor to act as Paying Agent, which appointment shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Rating Agencies. The
Securities Administrator as Paying Agent shall be subject to the same standards
of care, limitations on liability and rights to indemnity as the Securities
Administrator, and the provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02, 8.03, 8.04, 8.05,
8.14, 8.15 and 8.16 shall apply to the Paying Agent to the same extent as they
apply to the Securities Administrator. Any Paying Agent appointed in accordance
with this Section 5.05 may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days'
advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor, such
resignation to become effective upon appointment of a successor Paying Agent.

Depositor.
Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the
Obligations of, the Servicer or the Depositor.
Any entity into which the Servicer or the Depositor may be merged or
consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or

organization succeeding to the business of the Servicer or the Depositor, shall
be the successor of the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be,
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor servicer shall satisfy
all the requirements of Section 7.02 with respect to the qualifications of a
successor servicer.
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others.
Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or
employees or agents of the Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust or
the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of
any action by the Servicer in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for
errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Servicer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in
the performance of duties of the Servicer or by reason of its reckless disregard
of its obligations and duties of the Servicer hereunder. The Servicer and any
director or officer or employee or agent of 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. The Servicer and any director
or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer shall be indemnified by the
Trust 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 its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Servicer may 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 reasonable legal expenses
and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be
expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust and the Servicer shall be entitled
to be reimbursed therefor pursuant to Section 3.05. The Servicer's right to
indemnity or reimbursement pursuant
-135-
to this Section shall survive any resignation or termination of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01 with respect to any losses, expenses, costs or
liabilities arising prior to such resignation or termination (or arising from
events that occurred prior to such resignation or termination). This paragraph
shall apply to the Servicer solely in its capacity as Servicer hereunder and in
no other capacities.
Section 6.04 Servicer Not to Resign.
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 6.02, the
Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it
except (i) upon determination that the performance of its obligations or duties
hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material
conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it
or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other activities of the Servicer so
causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer or
its subsidiaries or Affiliates at the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon
satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) the Servicer has proposed a
successor servicer to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in writing
and such proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and
the Securities Administrator; and (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered a
letter to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator prior to the appointment
of the successor servicer stating that the proposed appointment of such
successor servicer as Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction or
withdrawal of the then current rating of the Regular Certificates or the ratings
that are in effect; provided, however, that no such resignation by the Servicer
shall become effective until such successor servicer or, in the case of (i)
above, the Trustee shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and
obligations hereunder or the Trustee shall have designated a successor servicer
in accordance with Section 7.02. Any such resignation shall not relieve the
Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified in Sections 7.01
and 7.02 as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the
Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer
shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator.
Section 6.05 Delegation of Duties.
In the ordinary course of business, the Servicer at any time may
delegate any of its duties hereunder to any Person, including any of its
Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such duties in accordance with standards
comparable to those set forth in Section 3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve
the Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties
and shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04. The
Servicer shall provide the Trustee and the Rating Agencies with 60 days prior
written notice prior to the delegation of any of its duties to any Person other
than any of the Servicer's Affiliates or their respective successors and
assigns.

relating to all or substantially all of its property; or a decree or order

(v) the Servicer becoming ineligible to service for both Xxxxxx Xxx

(b) Then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Servicer
Event of Termination shall not have been remedied within the applicable grace
period, (x) with respect solely to clause (i)(A) above, if such Advance is not
made by 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day immediately following
the Distribution Date, the Trustee may terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and the Trustee, or a successor
servicer appointed in accordance with Section 7.02, shall immediately make such
Advance (such Advance required to be made by the Trustee in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.07(e)) and assume, pursuant to Section 7.02, the duties
of a successor servicer and (y) in the case of (i)(B), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v)
above, the Trustee shall, at the direction of the NIMS Insurer or Holders of
each Class of Regular Certificates evidencing Voting Interests aggregating not
less than 66 2/3%, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the
Trustee if given by Holders of Certificates), terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this Agreement. Any such notice to
the Servicer shall also be given to the Securities Administrator, each Rating
Agency, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor. On or after the receipt by the
Servicer (and by the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders) 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 or
successor servicer appointed in connection with Section 7.02; and, without
limitation, the Trustee or successor servicer is hereby authorized and empowered
to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of each
Mortgage Loan and Related Documents or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to
cooperate with the Trustee (or the applicable successor servicer) in effecting
the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder,
including, without limitation, the delivery to the Trustee (or the applicable
successor servicer) of all documents and records requested by it to enable it to
assume the Servicer's functions under this Agreement within twenty Business Days
subsequent to such notice, the transfer within two Business Days subsequent to
such notice to the Trustee (or the applicable successor servicer) for the
administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the
Servicer and to be deposited by it in the Collection Account, the Distribution
Account or any Escrow Account or that have been deposited by the Servicer in
such accounts or thereafter received by the Servicer with respect to the
Mortgage Loans or any REO Property received by the Servicer. All reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in
connection with transferring the servicing to the successor servicer and
amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this
Section shall be paid by the predecessor servicer (or if the predecessor
servicer is the Trustee, the initial servicer) upon presentation of reasonable
documentation of such costs and expenses, and if such predecessor Servicer
defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the
successor Servicer or the Trustee (in which case the successor Servicer or the
Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of the
Trust).
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of a Servicer
hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive payment of all accrued and
unpaid Servicing Fees and
-138-
reimbursement for all outstanding Advances and Servicing Advances properly made
prior to the date of termination.
Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) Within 90 days of the time the Servicer (and the Trustee, if
notice is sent by the Holders) receives a notice of termination pursuant to
Section 7.01 or 6.04, the Trustee (or such other successor servicer as is
approved in accordance with this Agreement) 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 arising on and after its succession.
As compensation therefor, the Trustee (or such other successor servicer) shall
be entitled to such compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to
hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the
above, (i) if the Trustee is unwilling to act as successor servicer or (ii) if
the Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Trustee shall appoint or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home
finance institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer
having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 as the successor to the Servicer
hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder; provided, that the appointment of any
such successor servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or
withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Certificates or the ratings that are
in effect by the Rating Agencies as evidenced by a letter to such effect from
the Rating Agencies. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer
hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee
shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive
compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the
compensation which the Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to
Section 3.18 (or such other compensation as the Trustee and such successor shall
agree, not to exceed the Servicing Fee). The successor servicer shall be
entitled to withdraw from the Collection Account all costs and expenses
associated with the transfer of the servicing to the successor servicer,
including costs and expenses of the Trustee. The appointment of a successor
servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor servicer which may
have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Servicer to pay any
deductible under an insurance policy pursuant to Section 3.11 or to indemnify
the parties indicated in Section 3.24 pursuant to the terms thereof, nor shall
any successor servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor
servicer or for any breach by such servicer of any of its representations or
warranties contained herein or in any related document or agreement. The Trustee
and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as
shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
(b) Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Servicer as
servicer shall during the term of its service as servicer continue to service
and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders, and
maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and
omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and a
Fidelity Bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same
extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section 3.12.
-139-
Section 7.03 Waiver of Defaults.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66 2/3% of the
Voting Interests allocated to the Classes of Certificates affected by a Servicer
Event of Termination may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, waive any events
permitting removal of the Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article VII,
provided, however, that such Holders may not waive a default in making a
required distribution on a Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to
exist and any Servicer Event of Termination arising therefrom shall be deemed to
have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto
except to the extent expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be
given by the Trustee to the Securities Administrator and the Rating Agencies.
Section 7.04 Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) On any termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer
pursuant to this Article VII or Section 6.04, the Trustee shall give prompt
written notice thereof to the Securities Administrator and the
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register and each Rating Agency.
(b) No later than 60 days after the occurrence of any event which
constitutes or which, with notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute a
Servicer Event of Termination for five Business Days after a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee
shall transmit by mail to the Securities Administrator and all
Certificateholders notice of such occurrence unless such default or Servicer
Event of Termination shall have been waived or cured. Such notice shall be given
to the Rating Agencies promptly after any such occurrence.
Section 7.05 Survival of Servicer Liabilities.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon termination of
the Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of the Servicer which accrued prior to
such termination shall survive such termination.
ARTICLE VIII
THE TRUSTEE AND THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR
Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee and Securities Administrator.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Termination of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual
knowledge and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may
have occurred, and the Securities Administrator, each undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement as
duties of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, respectively. If a
Servicer Event of Termination has occurred (which has not been cured), of which
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge, the Trustee shall exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in
-140-
it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of such person's own affairs.
Upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator which are specifically required to be furnished
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the
requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of
any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or
other instrument furnished by the Servicer, the Seller or the Depositor
hereunder. If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material
respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the
Certificateholders of such instrument in the event that the Trustee, after so
requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator 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 a Servicer Event of Termination, and
after the curing of all such Servicer Events of Termination which may have
occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall 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 the
Securities Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as the case may be, 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 or the
Securities Administrator and conforming to the requirements of this
Agreement;
(ii) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, unless
it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator,
respectively, was negligent in ascertaining or investigating the facts
related thereto;
(iii) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator 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
Majority Certificateholders relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust
or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Securities Administrator under
this Agreement; and
-141-
(iv) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer to comply with the
obligations of the Servicer referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section
7.01(a) or any Servicer Event of Termination unless a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator obtains actual knowledge of
such failure or the Trustee or the Securities Administrator receives
written notice of such failure from the Servicer or the Majority
Certificateholders.
Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall 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 or the Securities Administrator
to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, except during such time, if
any, as the Securities Administrator 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.
Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may request and
rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting
upon, any resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or
any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may consult with
counsel and any advice or 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 advice
or Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
under any 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 the
Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer shall have
offered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may
be, reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; the right of the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, to perform
any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed
as a duty, and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall
be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the
performance of any such act;
-142-
(iv) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall 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 a Servicer Event of Termination and
after the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may have
occurred, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall 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 documents,
unless requested in writing to do so by the Majority Certificateholders or
the NIMS Insurer; provided, however, that if the payment within a
reasonable time to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator 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 or the Securities
Administrator, not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator by the security afforded to it by the terms of this
Agreement, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator may require
reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a
condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such
examination shall be paid by the Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, shall be reimbursed by the Servicer upon
demand. Nothing in this clause (v) shall derogate from the obligation of
the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of
information regarding the Mortgagors;
(vi) neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
accountable, have any liability or make any representation as to any acts
or omissions hereunder of the Servicer until such time as the Trustee may
be required to act as Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02;
(vii) each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator 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 and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall
be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such
agent, attorney or custodian appointed by it with due care; and
(viii) the right of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to
perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be
construed as a duty, and neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator shall be answerable for other than its negligence or willful
misconduct in the performance of such act.
Section 8.03 Trustee and Securities Administrator Not Liable for
Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than
the authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the
statements of the Depositor, and neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator assumes any responsibility for the correctness of the same.
Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator makes any representations
as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates
(other than the signature and
-143-
authentication of the Securities Administrator on the Certificates, in the case
of the Securities Administrator) or of any Mortgage Loan or Related Document.
Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be accountable for
the use or application by the Servicer, or for the use or application of any
funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or
withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Servicer. Neither the Trustee nor
the Securities Administrator shall at any time have any responsibility or
liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of
any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any
Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with
respect to the sufficiency of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments
to be distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without
limitation: the existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property;
the existence and enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon (other than the
Trustee's responsibility if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02); the validity of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan
to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any
Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other than
the Trustee's responsibility if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the
Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the compliance by the Depositor or the
Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any
related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation (except,
in the case of the Trustee, after receipt of notice of any non-compliance
therewith or any breach thereof); any investment of monies by or at the
direction of the Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom, it being understood
that the Trustee shall remain responsible for any Trust property that it may
hold in its individual capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the Servicer
(other than the Trustee's responsibility if the Trustee shall assume the duties
of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), or any Mortgagor; any action of the
Servicer (other than the Trustee's responsibility if the Trustee shall assume
the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), taken in the name of the
Trust; the failure of the Servicer to act or perform any duties required of it
as agent of the Trust hereunder (other than the Trustee's responsibility if the
Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); or
any action by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator taken at the
instruction of the Servicer (other than the Trustee's responsibility if the
Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02);
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator of their obligation to perform their respective duties
under this Agreement. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any
financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to

reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of
this Section 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of such entity shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent

Securities Administrator (other than the initial Trustee or Securities
Administrator) shall be in a state with respect to which an Opinion of Counsel
has been delivered to such Trustee or Securities Administrator at the time such
Trustee or Securities Administrator is appointed Trustee or Securities
Administrator, at such entity's expense, to the effect that the Trust will not
be a taxable entity under the laws of such state. In case at any time the
Trustee or Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee or Securities
Administrator shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 8.07. The Securities Administrator (i) may not be the

Section 8.07 Resignation or Removal of Trustee and Securities
Administrator.
The Trustee or the Securities Administrator may at any time resign

Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint
a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, reasonably
acceptable to the NIMS Insurer by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or Securities
Administrator, as applicable, and one copy to the successor Trustee or
Securities Administrator, as the case may be. If no successor Trustee or
Securities Administrator shall have been so appointed and having

resignation, the resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or
Securities Administrator.
If at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall
fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at any
time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be legally unable to act,
or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any
public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor may remove the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as the case may be. If the Depositor or the Servicer
removes the Trustee or the Securities Administrator under the authority of the
immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee or Securities Administrator by written instrument, in duplicate, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or Securities
Administrator so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee or Securities
Administrator.
The Majority Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer may at any time
remove the Trustee or the Securities Administrator by written instrument or
instruments delivered to the Servicer, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the

Administrator shall become effective, and such successor Trustee or Securities
Administrator, 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 or Securities

other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and
confirming in the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator all such rights,
powers, duties and obligations.

acceptance such successor Trustee or
-147-
Securities Administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06
and the appointment of such successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall
not result in a downgrading of the Regular Certificates by any Rating Agency, as
evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or Securities
Administrator as provided in this Section 8.08, the successor Trustee or
Securities Administrator shall mail notice of the appointment of a successor
Trustee or Securities Administrator hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at

Administrator.

may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or

Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
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 or any Mortgaged Property may at the time be located, the
Depositor 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 and the NIMS Insurer 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, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof,
and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider
necessary or desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject
to the written approval of the Servicer and the NIMS Insurer. If the Servicer
and the NIMS Insurer 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 a Servicer Event
of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall
have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee
hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
Trustee under Section 8.06, and no notice to Certificateholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
-148-
(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, 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 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 Securities Administrator 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 VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of 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
Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Rating Agencies and 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.
Section 8.11 Limitation of Liability.
The Certificates are executed by the Securities Administrator, not
in its individual capacity but solely as Securities Administrator of the Trust,
in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it by this
Agreement. Each of the undertakings and agreements made on the part of the
Securities Administrator in the Certificates is made and intended not as a
personal undertaking or agreement by the Securities Administrator but is made
and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust.

instituted by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be brought in
its own name or in its capacity as Trustee or Securities Administrator for the
benefit of all Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this
Agreement. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursement and advances of the Trustee

for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of which such
judgment has been recovered.

Servicer hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee may proceed to
protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Certificateholders under
this Agreement by a suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise,
whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement
-150-
contained in this Agreement or in aid of the execution of any power granted in
this Agreement or for the enforcement of any other legal, equitable or other
remedy, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, and subject to the foregoing,

expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to any
professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or
judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal
Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such
expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine audit
but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such
expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to the
negligence or willful misconduct of the Securities Administrator in fulfilling
its duties hereunder. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to
reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in clause (i) above from the
Trust.
(d) The Securities Administrator shall prepare or cause to be
prepared, and cause the Trustee to sign and file or cause to be filed, each
REMIC's federal and state tax and information returns as such REMIC's direct
representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne

Employer Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service via a form SS-4
or any other acceptable method for all REMICs and other tax entities and will
also file a Form 8811 with respect to all such REMICs with the Internal Revenue

Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any REMIC formed under
this Agreement to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status of
such REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as
necessary to create or maintain such status. None of the Trustee, the Servicer,
the Securities Administrator or the Holder of the Class R Certificate shall take
any action or cause any REMIC formed under this Agreement to take any action or
fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC
Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the
status of such REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon
such REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
-152-
transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited
contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an
"Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the

prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC formed under this Agreement
or the assets therein, or causing such REMIC to take any action, which is not
expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of the Class R
Certificate will consult with the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the
Servicer, or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether
such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to such
REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause such REMIC to take
any such action as to which the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the
Servicer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
(g) The Holder of the Class R Certificate shall pay when due any and
all taxes imposed on any REMIC formed under this Agreement by federal or state
governmental authorities, but only from amounts, if any, distributable thereon.
To the extent that such REMIC taxes are not paid by the Class R
Certificateholder, the Securities Administrator shall pay any remaining REMIC
taxes out of future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Class R
Certificate or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in
the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders
of the REMIC Regular Interests or the Certificates, as the case may be.

purposes, maintain or cause to be maintained books and records with respect to

REMIC, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to Eligible
Substitute Mortgage Loans.
(j) None of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the
Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC will receive a fee
or other compensation for services.

the Securities Administrator shall deliver to each Rating Agency an Officer's
Certificate stating the Securities Administrator's compliance with the
provisions of this Section 9.01.
(l) The Securities Administrator shall treat (i) the rights of the
Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates) to
receive Cap Carryover Amounts as a right in interest rate cap contracts written
by the Class CE Certificateholders in favor of the Holders of the Certificates
(other than the Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates) and (ii) the rights
of the Class CE Certificates under the Yield Maintenance Agreements in
accordance with the terms thereof and shall assign such rights for federal tax
return and information reporting a value of zero. The Securities Administrator
shall account for such as property held separate and apart from the regular
interests it holds in each of the REMICs created hereunder. The provisions of
this paragraph are intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations
Section
-153-
1.860G-2(i) for the treatment of property rights coupled with regular interests
to be separately respected and shall be interpreted consistent with such
regulation. On each Distribution Date, to the extent the Certificates (other
than the Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates) receive interest in excess
of their Pass-Through Rate, such interest will be treated as distributed to the
Class CE Certificates, together with any amount deposited in the Reserve
Accounts in respect of the Yield Maintenance Agreements, and then paid to the
respective Classes of Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and Class R
Certificates) pursuant to the related interest rate cap agreement.
Section 9.02 Prohibited Transactions and Activities.

constituting part of the Trust Fund after the Closing Date, unless it has
received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale,
disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution,
or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the status of such REMIC as a REMIC
or of the interests therein other than the Class R Certificate 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 Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement)
or (d) cause such REMIC to be subject to a tax on prohibited transactions or
prohibited contributions pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
Section 9.03 Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss
of REMIC Status.
In the event that any REMIC formed hereunder fails to qualify as a
REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a
result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC
Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Servicer, the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein, such
person shall indemnify the Holder of the Class R Certificate against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses ("Losses") resulting from such
negligence; provided, however, that no such person shall be liable for any such
Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Depositor or
the Holder of the Class R Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses
resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of the Class R Certificate
on which such person has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or
restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of the Class R Certificate now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however,
in no event shall the Servicer have any liability (1) for any action or omission
that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or
which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses
other than arising out of a negligent performance by the Servicer, the Trustee
-154-
or the Securities Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein,
and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in
addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).
Section 9.04 REO Property.
(a) Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations as
shall at any time be in force, and notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust hereunder, shall not
rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of any REMIC 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 any REMIC of any "income from non-permitted assets"
within the meaning of section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or any "net income from
foreclosure property" which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions unless
the Servicer has advised the Trustee in writing to the effect that, under the
REMIC Provisions, such action would not adversely affect the status of any REMIC
as a REMIC and any income generated for such REMIC by the REO Property would not
result in the imposition of a tax upon such REMIC.
(b) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to sell any REO
Property for its fair market value. In any event, however, the Servicer shall
dispose of any REO Property before the close of the third calendar year
beginning after the year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the
Servicer has received a grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to
the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed
legislation and under applicable state law, any REMIC constituting part of the
Trust Fund may hold REO Property for a longer period without adversely affecting
its REMIC status or causing the imposition of a Federal or state tax upon any
REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund. If the Servicer has received such an
extension, then the Servicer shall continue to attempt to sell the REO Property
for its fair market value as determined in good faith by the Servicer for such
longer period as such extension permits (the "Extended Period"). If the Servicer
has not received such an extension and the Servicer is unable to sell the REO
Property by September 30th of the third year after its acquisition by the Trust
Fund or if the Servicer has received such an extension, and the Servicer is
unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before the
close of the Extended Period, the Servicer shall, before the end of the
applicable period, (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO
Property's fair market value as determined in good faith by the Servicer or (ii)
auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Servicer) in an
auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of
the applicable period.
Section 9.05 Grantor Trust Administration.
The parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of
the right of the Class P Certificates to receive Prepayment Penalties,
Originator Prepayment Penalty Payment Amounts and Servicer Prepayment Penalty
Payment Amounts, the right of the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P
and Class R Certificates) to receive Cap Carryover Amounts, the Reserve Accounts
and the right of the Class CE Certificates to receive Yield Maintenance
Agreement Payments subject to the obligation of the Class CE Certificates to pay
Cap Carryover Amounts, shall be treated as a "grantor trust" under the Code, and
the provisions hereof shall be
-155-
interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention,
the Securities Administrator shall furnish or cause to be furnished (i) the
Holders of the Class P Certificates, (ii) to the Holders of the Regular
Certificates (other than the Class CE Certificates) and (iii) to the Holders of
the Class CE Certificates and shall file or cause to be filed with the Internal
Revenue Service together with Form 1041 or such other form as may be applicable,
their allocable shares of income and expenses with respect to the property held
by the Grantor Trust, at the time or times and in the manner required by the
Code.

TERMINATION
Section 10.01 Termination.
(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer,
the Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Certificate
Registrar created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make
certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and the
obligation of the Securities Administrator to send certain notices as
hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the
earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Principal Balance of each
Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, and (iii) the optional
purchase by the NIMS Insurer, if there is a NIMS Insurer, or if there is no NIMS
Insurer, the Majority Class CE Certificateholders, or if there is no Majority
Class CE Certificateholders, the Depositor of the Mortgage Loans as described
below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 NIMS Insurer, if there is a NIMS Insurer, or if there is no NIMS
Insurer, the Majority Class CE Certificateholders or Depositor may, at its
option, terminate the Trust Fund and retire the Certificates on the next
succeeding Distribution Date upon which the aggregate current Pool Balance is
less than 10% of the Cut-off Date Aggregate Principal Balance by purchasing all
of the outstanding (i) Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund at a price equal to the
sum of the outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loans and except
to the extent previously advanced by the Servicer, accrued and unpaid interest
thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage Interest Rates through the end
of the Collection Period preceding the final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed
Servicing Advances, Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees allocable to such
Mortgage Loans and (ii) REO Properties in the Trust Fund at a price equal to
their fair market value as determined in good faith by the Servicer (the
"Termination Price"). If the NIMS Insurer or the Majority Class CE
Certificateholder (or, if there is no Majority Class CE Certificateholder, the
Depositor or an affiliate of the Depositor) is subject to regulation by the OCC,
the FDIC, the Federal Reserve or the Office of Thrift Supervision, however, the
option may not be exercised unless the aggregate fair market value of the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties is greater than or equal to the Termination
Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party may exercise this optional
purchase right unless any Reimbursement Amount owed to the Trust pursuant to
Section 2.03 hereof has been paid.
-156-
Any such purchase shall be accomplished by delivery by the party
exercising the optional purchase right on the Determination Date before such
Distribution Date of the Termination Price to the Securities Administrator for
deposit into the Distribution Account as part of Available Funds.
(b) Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date
(which shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which
the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Securities
Administrator for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be
given promptly by the Securities Administrator upon the Securities Administrator
receiving notice of such date from the Depositor by letter to the
Certificateholders and the Securities Administrator mailed not earlier than the
15th day of the month preceding the month of such final distribution and not
later than the 15th day of the month of such final distribution specifying (1)
the Distribution Date upon which final distribution of the Certificates will be
made upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or
agency of the Securities Administrator therein designated, (2) the amount of any
such final distribution and (3) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to
such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the
Securities Administrator therein specified. Not less than five (5) Business Days
prior to such Determination Date relating to such Distribution Date, the
Securities Administrator shall notify the Depositor of the amount of any unpaid
Reimbursement Amount owed to the Trust.
(c) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the
Securities Administrator shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the
Certificates on the Distribution Date for such final distribution, in proportion
to the Percentage Interests of their respective Class and to the extent that
funds are available for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to
be distributed to such Holders in accordance with the provisions of Sections
4.01 and 4.02 for such Distribution Date.
(d) In the event that all Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before such final
Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall promptly following such
date cause all funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final
distribution to Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the
remaining Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow
account for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Servicer 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 nine months after the second notice all the Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholder
shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject
hereto (except with respect to the Class CE and Class P Certificates) and the
Securities Administrator upon transfer of such funds shall be discharged of any
responsibility for such funds, and all other Certificateholders shall look to
the Class R Certificateholder for payment.
Section 10.02 Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event that the NIMS Insurer, the Majority Class CE
Certificateholders or the Depositor exercises its purchase option as provided in
Section 10.01,
-157-
the Trust shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional
requirements, unless the Securities Administrator shall have been furnished with
an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply with
the requirements of this Section will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes
on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code
or (ii) cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates (other than the Class P
Certificates) are outstanding:
(i) The Securities Administrator shall designate a date within 90
days prior to the final Distribution Date as the date of adoption of plans
of complete liquidation of each of REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 and shall specify
such date in the final federal income tax return of each REMIC;
(ii) After the date of adoption of such plans of complete
liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Securities
Administrator shall sell all of the assets of the Trust to the NIMS
Insurer, the Majority Class CE Certificateholders or Depositor for cash;
and
(iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Securities Administrator shall distribute or credit, or
cause to be distributed or credited in the order of priority set forth in
Section 4.02 and then to the Class R Certificateholder, all cash on hand
in respect of the REMICs after such payment (other than cash retained to
meet claims) and the Trust shall terminate at such time.
(b) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby
agree to appoint the Securities Administrator as their attorney in fact to: (i)
designate such date of adoption of plans of complete liquidation and (ii) to
take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably required to
carry out such plans of complete liquidation all in accordance with the terms
hereof.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 11.01 Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee; with the consent of
the NIMS Insurer and without the consent of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure
any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct, modify or supplement any provision
herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or the
Prospectus Supplement, (iii) to make any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising under this Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, (iv) to comply with any
requirements imposed by the Code or (v) to provide for the rights of the NIMS
Insurer; provided, however, that any such action listed in clause (iii) above
shall not adversely affect in any respect the interests of any
Certificateholder, as evidenced by (i) delivery to the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Securities Administrator and the Trustee of written notification from each
Rating Agency that provides, at the request of the Depositor, a rating for each
outstanding Class of Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and Class R
-158-
Certificates) to the effect that such amendment will not cause such Rating
Agency to lower or withdrawal of the then current rating of such outstanding
Classes of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency, or (ii) an
Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and
the Trustee.
In addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, with the
consent of the NIMS Insurer and the Majority Certificateholders 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 or waiver
shall (x) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
on the Certificates which are required to be made on any Certificate without the
consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (y) adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner
other than as described in clause (x) above, without the consent of the Holders
of Certificates of such Class aggregating at least 66 2/3% of the Voting
Interests evidenced by such Class, or (z) reduce the percentage of Voting
Interests required by clause (y) above without the consent of the Holders of all
Certificates of such Class then outstanding. Upon approval of an amendment, a
copy of such amendment shall be sent to the Rating Agencies. Prior to the
execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator will not consent to any amendment of the applicable Agreement
unless it shall first have received an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement. Each
of the Securities Administrator and Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee's or Securities
Administrator's own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
none of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the NIMS Insurer shall
consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received
an Opinion of Counsel, delivered by (and at the expense of) the Person seeking
such Amendment, to the effect that such amendment will not result in the
imposition of a tax on any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund pursuant to
the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to
fail to qualify as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor
trust at any time that any Certificates are outstanding and that the amendment
is being made in accordance with the terms hereof.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Securities
Administrator shall furnish, at the expense of the Person that requested the
amendment if such Person is the Servicer (but in no event at the expense of the
Trustee), otherwise at the expense of the Trust, a copy of such amendment and
the Opinion of Counsel referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph to the
Servicer and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment; instead it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to
such reasonable regulations as the Securities Administrator may prescribe.
-159-
Section 11.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject

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

The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (i)
operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, (ii) entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the
Trust, or (iii) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto or any of them.
Except as expressly provided for herein, no Certificateholder shall
have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall
anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be
construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under
any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties
to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision
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 herein provided, and unless also the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Interests 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 as it may require against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after
its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected
or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is understood
and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every
other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, which priority or
preference is not otherwise provided for herein, or to enforce any right under
this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and
-160-
for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the

with respect to such claim, suit, action or proceeding brought in any such
court, that such court does not have jurisdiction over such party, provided that

No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer

effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws,
or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or

(ii) unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act,

satisfactory to them that such transfer may be made without such registration or
qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Certificate
Registrar, in their respective capacities as such. None of the Depositor, the
Certificate Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the
Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any

Certificate Registrar and any Servicer against any liability that may result if
the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
No transfer of a Certificate or any interest therein may be made to
employee benefit plans and certain other retirement plans and arrangements,
including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Xxxxx plans and
collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts
or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility

provisions of applicable federal, state or local law (collectively, "Plans") or
any person who is directly or indirectly purchasing the Certificate or interest
therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a
Plan, unless the proposed transferee provides the Certificate Registrar the
Opinion of Counsel described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the

the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in
the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust

Loans. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the

less of the Cut-off Date Aggregate Principal Balance.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the

Disqualified Organization is the record holder of an interest in such entity.
The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an
affidavit that such record holder is not a Disqualified Organization and the
pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false.

to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands

Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth in this Exhibit L to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate")
to the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to
which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.

"noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the
income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer
was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed
base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee
