THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of December 1, 1996,
is hereby executed by and among AMERICAN SOUTHWEST FINANCIAL SECURITIES
CORPORATION, as depositor (the "Depositor"), GREYSTONE SERVICING CORPORATION,
INC., as master servicer (the "Master Servicer"), GREYSTONE FUNDING CORPORATION,
as seller ("Greystone" or "Greystone Funding"), Daiwa Finance Corp., as seller
("Daiwa" or "Daiwa Finance"; Daiwa Finance and Greystone Funding, each a
"Seller" and together, the "Sellers"), and LASALLE NATIONAL BANK, as trustee
(the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise
defined will have the meanings assigned to them in Article I below.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor intends to sell commercial mortgage pass-through
certificates (collectively, the "Certificates"), to be issued hereunder in
multiple classes (each, a "Class"), which in the aggregate will evidence the
entire beneficial ownership interest in a trust fund (the "Trust Fund") to be
created hereunder.
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated
pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Assets (as defined herein), exclusive
of any Retained Yield (as defined herein) collected thereon, and certain other
related assets subject to this Agreement as a real estate mortgage investment
conduit (a "REMIC") for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of
assets will be designated as "REMIC I." The Class R-I Certificates will
represent the sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC I for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions (as defined herein) under federal income tax law. With respect
to each Mortgage Asset, there shall be a corresponding "regular interest" in
REMIC I (each, a "REMIC I Regular Interest"). The designation for each such
REMIC I Regular Interest shall be the Mortgage Asset identifying number for the
related Mortgage Asset set forth on the Mortgage Asset Schedules attached hereto
as Exhibit B-1 and Exhibit B-2. The remittance rate (the "REMIC I Remittance
Rate") and initial stated principal amount (the initial "Uncertificated
Principal Balance") will equal the initial Net Asset Rate and Cut-off Date
Balance (each as defined herein), respectively, for the Mortgage Asset that
corresponds thereto as of the Closing Date. The "latest possible maturity date"
(determined solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section
1.860G- 1(a)(4)(iii)) for each REMIC I Regular Interest shall be the first
Distribution Date (as defined herein) that follows the Stated Maturity Date (as
defined herein) for the Mortgage Asset that corresponds thereto as of the
Closing Date. None of the REMIC I Regular Interests will be certificated.
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated
pool of assets consisting of the REMIC I Regular Interests as a REMIC for
federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be
designated as REMIC II. The Class R-II Certificates will represent the sole
class of "residual interests" in REMIC II for purposes of the REMIC Provisions
under federal income tax law. The following table irrevocably sets forth the
designation, remittance rate (the "REMIC II Remittance Rate") and initial
Uncertificated Principal Balance for each of the "regular interests" in REMIC II
(the "REMIC II Regular Interests"). The "latest possible maturity date"
(determined solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section
1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii)) for each REMIC II Regular Interest shall be the first
Distribution Date that follows the Stated Maturity Date for the Mortgage Asset
included in the Trust Fund as of the
Closing Date with the longest remaining term to stated maturity. None of the
REMIC II Regular Interests will be certificated.
REMIC II Initial Uncertificated
Designation Remittance Rate Principal Balance
----------- --------------- -----------------
A-1 Variable(1) $40,317,000
A-2 Variable(1) $38,978,000
A-3 Variable(1) $55,487,000
A-4 Variable(1) $58,824,000
A-Z Variable(1) $67,712,000
B Variable(1) $5,192,464
---------------
(1) Calculated in accordance with the definition of "REMIC II Remittance Rate".
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated
pool of assets consisting of the REMIC II Regular Interests as a REMIC for
federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be
designated as REMIC III. The Class R-III Certificates will represent the sole
class of "residual interests" in REMIC III for purposes of the REMIC Provisions
under federal income tax law. The following table irrevocably sets forth the
class designation, pass-through rate (the "Pass-Through Rate") and initial
aggregate stated principal amount (the initial "Class Principal Balance") for
each of the Classes of Certificates representing "regular interests" in REMIC
III (the "REMIC III Regular Certificates"). The "latest possible maturity date"
(determined solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii)) for each Class of REMIC III Regular Certificates (or, in
the case of the Class S Certificates, for each "regular interest" in REMIC III
represented thereby) shall be the first Distribution Date that follows the
Stated Maturity Date for the Mortgage Asset included in the Trust Fund as of the
Closing Date with the longest remaining term to stated maturity.
Class Initial Class
Designation Pass-Through Rate Principal Balance
----------- ----------------- -----------------
Class S Variable(1) N/A(1)
Class A-1 6.675% per annum $40,317,000
Class A-2 7.000% per annum $38,978,000
Class A-3 7.125% per annum $55,487,000
Class A-4 7.290% per annum $58,824,000
Class A-Z 7.248% per annum $67,712,000
Class B 6.500% per annum $ 5,192,464
---------------------------------
(1) The Class S Certificates will not have a Class Principal Balance and will
accrue interest as provided herein at the related Pass-Through Rate in
effect from time to time on a hypothetical or notional principal amount (a
"Class Notional Amount") that is equal to the aggregate of the
Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC
2
II Regular Interests outstanding from time to time. The Class S
Certificates actually represent six separate "regular interests" in REMIC
III (the "Class S REMIC III Regular Interests"), each of which constitutes
an interest-only strip off one of the six REMIC II Regular Interests. Each
such Class S REMIC III Regular Interest accrues interest, as provided
herein, on a notional amount equal to the Uncertificated Principal Balance
of the related REMIC II Regular Interest outstanding from time to time at
a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of the REMIC II Remittance
Rate in effect from time to time for the related REMIC II Regular
Interest, over the fixed Pass-Through for the Class of REMIC III
Certificates with the same alphabetical and/or numerical Class designation
as the alphabetical and/or numerical designation for such REMIC II Regular
Interest. The Class Notional Amount for the Class S Certificates
represents an aggregation of the notional amounts on which the Class S
REMIC III Regular Interests accrue interest, and the Pass-Through Rate for
the Class S Certificates represents a weighted average of the per annum
rates at which the Class S REMIC III Regular Interests accrue interest.
Each of the Class S REMIC III Regular Interest shall have the designation
produced by combining the letter "S" with the alphabetical and/or
numerical designation for the related REMIC II Regular Interest (i.e.,
XX-0, XX-0, XX-0, XX-0, SA-Z and SB, respectively).
The Depositor is entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is
accepting the trusts created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged. The aggregate of the
Cut-off Date Balances of the Mortgage Assets, the aggregate of the
Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC I Regular Interests, the
aggregate of the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC II Regular
Interests and the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of the respective
Classes of REMIC III Regular Certificates will in each case be $266,510,464.
WITNESSETH THAT:
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, Greystone Funding, Daiwa Finance and the Trustee
agree as follows:
3
ARTICLE I

Accrued Certificate Interest in respect of the Class S Certificates for any
Distribution Date shall represent the aggregation of the Accrued Certificate
Interest in respect of the respective Class S REMIC III Regular Interests for
such Distribution Date, which as to any Class S REMIC III Regular Interest shall
equal, with respect to any Distribution Date, one month's interest at the Class
S Strip Rate applicable to such Class S REMIC III Regular Interest for such
Distribution Date, accrued on a notional amount equal to the Uncertificated
Principal Balance of the related REMIC II Regular Interest outstanding
immediately prior to such Distribution Date. Accrued Certificate Interest shall
be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

contributions set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code).

ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Assets.
(a) Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, and at the
direction and on behalf of the Depositor, Greystone Funding and the Master
Servicer do hereby assign, transfer and otherwise convey to the Trustee without
recourse, initially for the benefit of the Depositor and, immediately upon
issuance of the Certificates, exclusively for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, all the right, title and interest of Greystone Funding and
the Master Servicer, respectively, in and to the Mortgage Assets identified on
the Greystone Mortgage Asset Schedule (exclusive of any Retained Yield collected
with respect thereto) and all other assets included or to be included in the
Trust Fund. In addition, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
and at the direction and on behalf of the Depositor, Daiwa Finance does hereby
assign, transfer and otherwise convey and shall cause the Daiwa Titleholders to
assign, transfer and otherwise convey (and to execute such instruments of
transfer as are necessary to effect such assignment, transfer and conveyance),
to the Trustee without recourse, initially for the benefit of the Depositor and,
immediately upon issuance of the Certificates, exclusively for the benefit of
the Certificateholders, all the right, title and interest of Daiwa Finance and
the Daiwa Titleholders, respectively, in and to the Mortgage Assets identified
on the Daiwa Mortgage Asset Schedule (exclusive of any Retained Yield collected
with respect thereto) and all other assets included or to be included in the
Trust Fund. In addition, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
the Depositor does hereby assign, transfer and otherwise convey to the Trustee
without recourse exclusively for the benefit of the Certificateholders, all the
right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Mortgage Assets
identified on the Mortgage Asset Schedule (exclusive of any Retained Yield
collected with respect thereto) and all other assets included or to be included
in the Trust Fund. Such conveyances of the Mortgage Assets include all interest
and principal and proceeds received or receivable on or with respect to the
Mortgage Assets after the Cut-off Date (other than payments of or relating to
principal and interest due and payable on the Mortgage Loans and Underlying
Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date and other than any payments of
Retained Yield) and all amounts held in escrow for the payment of taxes or
insurance on or with respect to, or to effect repairs and replacements in
respect of, the Mortgaged Properties after the Cut-off Date.
It is intended that the conveyances of the Greystone Mortgage Assets
by Greystone Funding, the Master Servicer and the Depositor, and of the Daiwa
Mortgage Assets by Daiwa Finance, the Daiwa Titleholders and the Depositor, to
the Trustee (as provided in this Section 2.01(a)) be, and be construed as,
absolute sales of such Mortgage Assets by such parties to the Trustee for the
ultimate and exclusive benefit of the Certificateholders. It is, further, not
intended that such conveyances be deemed pledges of the Greystone Mortgage
Assets by Greystone Funding, the Master Servicer or the Depositor, or of the
Daiwa Mortgage Assets by Daiwa Finance, the Daiwa Titleholders or the Depositor,
to the Trustee to secure a debt or other
41
obligation of the Depositor (with respect to any of the Mortgage Assets), of
Greystone Funding or the Master Servicer (with respect to the Greystone Mortgage
Assets) or of Daiwa Finance or the Daiwa Titleholders (with respect to the Daiwa
Mortgage Assets). However, in the event that either the Greystone Mortgage
Assets are held to be property of Greystone Funding, the Master Servicer or the
Depositor, or the Daiwa Mortgage Assets are held to be property of Daiwa
Finance, the Daiwa Titleholders or the Depositor, or if for any reason this
Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in any of the Mortgage
Assets, then it is intended that, (i) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be
a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC
and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction; (ii) the conveyances provided
for in or contemplated by this Section 2.01(a) shall be deemed to be grants by
Greystone Funding, the Master Servicer and the Depositor (with respect to the
Greystone Mortgage Assets) and Daiwa Finance, the Daiwa Titleholders and the
Depositor (with respect to the Daiwa Mortgage Assets) to the Trustee of, in the
case of each such Person, a security interest in all of its respective right
(including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) Mortgage Assets and all related
documents, including, without limitation, in the case of the Mortgage Loans, the
Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related insurance policies and all other
documents in the related Mortgage Files, (B) all amounts payable to the holders
of the Mortgage Assets in accordance with the terms thereof (other than payments
of principal and interest due and payable on the Mortgage Assets on or before
the Cut-off Date and other than payments of Retained Yield) and (C) all proceeds
of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash,
instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation all
amounts from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account or the
Custodial Account (other than payments of principal and interest due and payable
on the Mortgage Loans and the Underlying Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off
Date and other than payments of Retained Yield); and (d) notifications to
persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries,
bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting
such security interest under applicable law. The Depositor, Greystone Funding
and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Greystone Mortgage Assets), the
Depositor and Daiwa Finance (with respect to the Daiwa Mortgage Assets) and the
Trustee shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, and Daiwa Finance
shall cause the Daiwa Titleholders (with respect to the Daiwa Mortgage Assets)
to, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were
deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Assets, such security
interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority
under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall file, at its expense, all filings necessary
to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the UCC as
in effect in any jurisdiction to perfect the Trustee's security interest in or
lien on the Trust Fund, including without limitation (A) continuation
statements, and (B) such other statements as may be occasioned by any transfer
of any interest of the Master Servicer, Trustee or the Depositor in the Trust
Fund. In connection herewith, the Trustee shall have all of the rights and
remedies of a secured party and creditor under the UCC as in force in the
relevant jurisdiction.
42
(b) In connection with the sales and assignments by Greystone
Funding, the Master Servicer and the Depositor (with respect to the Greystone
Mortgage Assets) and by Daiwa Finance, the Daiwa Titleholders and the Depositor
(with respect to the Daiwa Mortgage Assets) pursuant to or as contemplated by
subsection (a) above, Greystone Funding and the Master Servicer shall with
respect to each Greystone Mortgage Loan, and Daiwa Finance shall (and shall
cause the Daiwa Titleholders to) with respect to each Daiwa Mortgage Loan,
deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the
Trustee, on or before the Closing Date, the related Mortgage File; and, with
respect to each GNMA Certificate so assigned, cause such GNMA Certificate to be
registered in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) on the books and
records of the appropriate "financial intermediary" (within the meaning of
Section 8-313(4) of the New York UCC) designated by the Trustee.
The Trustee, at the expense of Greystone Funding (with respect to
each Greystone Mortgage Loan) and Daiwa Finance (with respect to each Daiwa
Mortgage Loan), shall, if any of the following were delivered in blank, complete
the endorsement of the Mortgage Note referred to in clause (i) of the definition
of "Mortgage File", the assignment of Mortgage referred to in clause (iv) of the
definition of "Mortgage File", the assignment of Assignment of Leases referred

Also in connection with the sales and assignments by Greystone
Funding, the Master Servicer and the Depositor (with respect to the Greystone
Mortgage Assets) and Daiwa Funding, the Daiwa Titleholders and the Depositor
(with respect to the Daiwa Mortgage Assets) pursuant to or as contemplated in
subsection (a) above, Greystone Funding (with respect to each Greystone Mortgage
Loan so assigned) and Daiwa Finance (with respect to each Daiwa Mortgage Loan so
assigned) shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and
deposited with, the Master Servicer, any and all funds held by or on behalf of
Greystone Funding or the Master Servicer (in the case of a Greystone Mortgage
Loan), or by or on behalf of Daiwa Finance or the Daiwa Titleholders (in the
case of a Daiwa Mortgage Loan), which, if collected after the Closing Date,
would be deposited by the Master Servicer in either of a Reserve Account or an
Escrow Account established in respect of such Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer
shall deposit such funds in the Reserve Account or the Escrow Account, as
appropriate to be established in respect of such Mortgage Loan.
In the case of Mortgage Loans and Underlying Mortgage Loans that
have been prepaid after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date and, if
any such loan was prepaid in full, in lieu of delivering or causing the Master
Servicer to deliver the related Mortgage File to the Trustee or registering the
related GNMA Certificate in the name of the Trustee, as applicable, Greystone
Funding (with respect to a Greystone Mortgage Asset) and Daiwa Finance (with
respect to a Daiwa Mortgage Asset) will deposit, or cause to be deposited, in
the Custodial Account or, in the case of an Underlying Mortgage Loan, deliver,
or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account
the amount of such prepayment and will provide the Trustee with written notice
of such prepayment.
43
(c) Within 45 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee, at the
expense of Greystone Funding (with respect to each Greystone Mortgage Loan) and
Daiwa Finance (with respect to each Daiwa Mortgage Loan), shall cause the
following documents and instruments to be properly recorded or filed, as the
case may be, in the appropriate public office for real property records or UCC
financing statements, as appropriate: (i) each assignment of a Mortgage referred
to in clause (iv) of the definition of "Mortgage File"; (ii) each assignment of
an Assignment of Leases, if any, referred to in clause (vii) of the definition
of "Mortgage File"; and (iii) each assignment of a financing statement referred
to in clause (xiii) of the definition of "Mortgage File". If any such assignment
of a Mortgage, assignment of an Assignment of Leases or assignment of a
financing statement is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein,
the Trustee, upon becoming aware of such loss or defect, shall promptly give
written notice of such loss or defect to Greystone Funding (if the affected
Mortgage Loan is a Greystone Mortgage Loan) or Daiwa Finance (if the affected
Mortgage Loan is a Daiwa Mortgage Loan), and the related Seller shall promptly
prepare a substitute therefor or use its best efforts to cure such defect, as
the case may be, and shall then return the same to the Trustee. The Trustee
shall cause the same to be duly recorded or filed at the related Seller's
expense. Greystone Funding (with respect to the Greystone Mortgage Assets) and
Daiwa Finance (with respect to the Daiwa Mortgage Assets) shall, promptly upon
receipt thereof, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the original
recorded Mortgage and, if applicable, Assignment of Leases and any original
recorded intervening assignments of such documents, in those instances where a
copy thereof was delivered to the Trustee. Within 45 days after the Closing
Date, the Trustee shall file with HUD each HUD Form 92080 referred to in clause
(xiv) of the definition of "Mortgage File".
(d) If, within one year after the Closing Date, any assignment of a
Mortgage referred to in clause (iv) of the definition of "Mortgage File" or, if
applicable, any assignment of an Assignment of Leases referred to in clause
(vii) of the definition of "Mortgage File", in each case with evidence of the
recording of the Trustee's interest thereon, or a copy (certified by the
applicable public recording office to be a true and correct copy) of such
recorded assignment of a Mortgage or assignment of an Assignment of Leases, is
not delivered to the Trustee, or if Greystone Funding or Daiwa Finance defaults
on its obligations pursuant to Section 2.01(c) with respect to any such
assignment that is lost or defective, Greystone Funding (if the affected
Mortgage Loan is a Greystone Mortgage Loan) or Daiwa Finance (if the affected
Mortgage Loan is a Daiwa Mortgage Loan) shall repurchase the affected Mortgage
Loan from the Trustee at the applicable Purchase Price therefor. The Purchase
Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by Greystone Funding (with
respect to a Greystone Mortgage Loan) and Daiwa Finance (with respect to a Daiwa
Mortgage Loan) in the Custodial Account. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written
notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer (which notification
shall include a statement as to the accuracy of the Purchase Price), the Trustee
shall release the related Mortgage File to or at the direction of the Seller
that effected such purchase and shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment (which shall be prepared by such Seller), in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in such Seller, or its designee,
title (to the extent that such title was transferred to the Trustee) to such
Mortgage Loan being repurchased pursuant hereto. The repurchase obligation
pursuant to this Section 2.01(d) shall be effected solely at the cost and
expense of Greystone Funding (with respect to a Greystone Mortgage Loan) or
Daiwa Finance (with respect to a Daiwa Mortgage Loan) and shall
44
constitute the sole recourse against the related Seller available to the
Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificateholders for failure of an assignment
of a Mortgage referred to in clause (iv) of the definition of "Mortgage File"
or, if applicable, any assignment of an Assignment of Leases referred to in
clause (vii) of the definition of "Mortgage File", to be recorded.
(e) In instances where a title commitment or binder is delivered to
the Trustee with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Greystone Funding (with respect
to a Greystone Mortgage Loan) and Daiwa Finance (with respect to a Daiwa
Mortgage Loan) shall provide an original of the related lender's title insurance
policy (or duplicate thereof) in accordance with the terms of such commitment or
binder to the Trustee as promptly as practicable after the execution and
delivery hereof but, in any event, within 180 days of the Closing Date. If
within 180 days after the Closing Date, Greystone Funding (with respect to a
Greystone Mortgage Loan) or Daiwa Finance (with respect to a Daiwa Mortgage
Loan) fails to provide to the Trustee the original lender's title insurance
policy (or duplicate thereof) with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Greystone
Funding (with respect to a Greystone Mortgage Loan) or Daiwa Finance (with
respect to a Daiwa Mortgage Loan) shall repurchase the related Mortgage Loan
from the Trustee at the applicable Purchase Price therefor. The Purchase Price
for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by Greystone Funding (with respect
to a Greystone Mortgage Loan) and Daiwa Finance (with respect to a Daiwa
Mortgage Loan) in the Custodial Account. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written
notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer (which notification
shall include a statement as to the accuracy of the Purchase Price), the Trustee
shall release the related Mortgage File to or at the direction of the Seller
that effected such purchase and shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment (which shall be prepared by such Seller), in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in such Seller, or its designee,
title (to the extent that such title was transferred to the Trustee) to any
Mortgage Loan being repurchased pursuant hereto. The repurchase obligation
pursuant to this Section 2.01(e) shall be effected solely at the cost and
expense of Greystone Funding (with respect to a Greystone Mortgage Asset) or
Daiwa Finance (with respect to a Daiwa Mortgage Asset) and shall constitute the
sole recourse against the related Seller available to the Trustee, the Depositor
and the Certificateholders for failure to provide to the Trustee an original
lender's title insurance policy with respect to any Mortgage Loan.
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of the Trust Fund by Trustee; Review of
Mortgage Loan Documentation.
The Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt
of the Mortgage Files, in good faith and without actual notice or knowledge of
any adverse claim pertaining to the Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Asset

issuance of the Certificates, the Trustee will hold all documents constituting a
part of the Mortgage Files delivered to it, and all other assets constituting
part of the Trust Fund that come into its possession or under its control, in
trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The
Trustee, upon its execution and delivery hereof, will deliver an initial
certification acknowledging, with respect to each Mortgage Loan specified on the
Mortgage Asset Schedule, its receipt of those items specified in clauses (i),
(ii) and (iv) of the definition of Mortgage File (any document not delivered to
be
45
listed on an exception report attached thereto) and further acknowledging its
receipt of the GNMA Certificates listed on the Mortgage Asset Schedule.
Within 60 days after the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the Trustee shall ascertain whether all documents required to be delivered to it
pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof are in its possession, and shall deliver to the
Depositor, each Seller and the Master Servicer a certification in the form set
forth as Exhibit C hereto to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in
the Mortgage Asset Schedule, and subject to any exceptions noted on an
attachment to such certification: (a) all documents required to be delivered or
caused to be delivered to the Trustee by the related Seller pursuant to this
Agreement are in its possession, (b) such documents have been reviewed by it and
have not been mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered,
and such documents relate to such Mortgage Loan, (c) based on its examination
and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in items (v),
(viii), (xi), (xii), (xvi) and (xvii) of the second sentence of the definition
of the "Daiwa Mortgage Asset Schedule" (in the case of a Daiwa Mortgage Loan) or
"Greystone Mortgage Asset Schedule" (in the case of a Greystone Mortgage Loan),
as applicable, respecting such Mortgage Loan accurately reflects the information
contained in the documents in the related Mortgage File and (d) the related
Mortgage Note has a final endorsement from the FHA. If, in the course of such
review or at any time thereafter, the Trustee (through no negligence of its own)
finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File which did
not meet the requirements of (a) through (d) above at the time of delivery, the
Trustee shall promptly notify the Master Servicer, the related Seller and the
Depositor in writing. Greystone Funding (with respect to a Greystone Mortgage
Loan) or Daiwa Finance (with respect to a Daiwa Mortgage Loan) shall use
reasonable efforts to correct or cure any such defect of which it has been so
notified within 60 days from the date the related Seller was notified of such
defect. If Greystone Funding (with respect to a Greystone Mortgage Loan) or
Daiwa Finance (with respect to a Daiwa Mortgage Loan) does not so correct or
cure such defect within the period set forth in the immediately preceding
sentence, the related Seller shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust
Fund at the Purchase Price therefor. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage
Loan shall be deposited by Greystone Funding (with respect to a Greystone
Mortgage Loan) or Daiwa Finance (with respect to a Daiwa Mortgage Loan) in the
Custodial Account. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such
deposit signed by a Servicing Officer (which notification shall include a
statement as to the accuracy of the Purchase Price), the Trustee shall release
the related Mortgage File to or at the direction of the Seller that effected
such purchase and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment (which instruments shall be prepared and provided by such Seller), in
each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in such Seller, or its
designee, title (to the extent that such title was transferred to the Trustee)
to any Mortgage Loan being repurchased pursuant hereto.
In reviewing any Mortgage File pursuant to this Section, the Trustee
shall have no responsibility to determine whether any document or opinion is
legal, valid, binding or enforceable, whether any assignment or endorsement is
in proper or recordable form (except, if applicable, to determine if the Trustee
is the assignee or endorsee), whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any
applicable jurisdiction, or whether any Person executing any document or
rendering any opinion is authorized to do so or whether any signature thereon is
genuine.
46
The Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Mortgage
File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of Greystone Funding
(with respect to a Greystone Mortgage Loan) and Daiwa Finance (with respect to
the Daiwa Mortgage Loan) to purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the
requirements of (a) through (d) above shall constitute the sole and exclusive
recourse respecting such defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Certificateholders.

is a Greystone Mortgage Asset) and Daiwa Finance's (if the related FHA Assigned
Mortgage Loan is a Daiwa Mortgage Asset) right to receive the Retained Yield
with respect to any FHA Debenture shall be absolute and unconditional, but shall
last only for so long as such FHA Debenture is part of the Trust Fund. Greystone
Funding's (if the related FHA Assigned Mortgage Loan is a Greystone Mortgage
Asset) and Daiwa Finance's (if the related FHA Assigned Mortgage Loan is a Daiwa
Mortgage Asset) right to receive the Retained Yield with respect to an FHA
Assigned Mortgage Loan shall also be absolute and unconditional, but shall last

accrued Retained Yield through the date of receipt) shall be deemed allocated
between the Trust Fund and the Seller entitled to such Retained Yield in
proportion to the relative values of such Mortgage Asset (net of the Retained
Yield) and the Retained Yield, respectively; provided that such Seller hereby
subordinates its right to receive such amount so allocated to it, to the right

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF TRUST FUND
SECTION 3.01. General Servicing Provisions.
(a) For and on behalf of the Trust Fund and solely in the best
interests of and for the benefit of the Trustee (as trustee for the
Certificateholders) and the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall
service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Housing Act and the FHA Regulations, the terms of this
Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with
the foregoing, the normal and usual standards of practice of prudent servicers
of FHA-insured project mortgage loans in the respective states where the
Mortgaged Properties are located.
(b) Subject to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall have full
power and authority, acting alone and/or through any Sub-Servicer, to do or
cause to be done any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in
connection with such servicing and administration; provided that the Master
Servicer shall take no action that is materially inconsistent with or materially
prejudices the interest of the Trustee or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage
Loan or under the related FHA Mortgage Insurance or the rights and interest of
the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificateholders under the terms of this
Agreement unless such action is specifically called for by the terms hereof; and
provided further that, without the consent of the FHA (if required under FHA
Regulations), the Master Servicer shall not: (i) modify or extend any Mortgage
Loan (and any such modification or extension that is permitted shall be subject
to Section 3.01(d) hereof); (ii) make or consent to any material amendment,
change, modification or alteration of any Mortgage Loan; (iii) consent to any
release, substitution or exchange of the collateral given for any Mortgage Loan;
(iv) waive any claim or right against the Mortgagor or any guarantor, standby
creditor or obligor of a Mortgage Loan; or (v) consent to any transfer of or
subordinate financing on any Mortgaged Property unless such transfer or
subordinate financing is permitted under the loan documents relating thereto.
The Master Servicer shall notify the Rating Agency in writing in connection with
any action taken contemplated by Section 3.01(b)(iv).
To the extent consistent with the foregoing, and subject to Section
3.01(d) and any other specific provisions hereof that may be applicable to any
particular matter, the Master Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the
Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor
and the Trustee, when the Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its best
judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of modification,
satisfaction, cancellation or assignment, or of partial or full release or
discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any
such execution and delivery. Subject to Section 3.13, the Depositor and the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall furnish the Master
Servicer with any powers
61
of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master
Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans.
(c) In accordance with the standards of the preceding subsections,
but subject to any applicable limitations set forth in Section 5.03, the Master
Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds, as and when necessary, for
the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes, assessments and ground
rents (if any) on each Mortgaged Property, FHA Mortgage Insurance premiums in
respect of the Mortgage Loans or any other related unpaid insurance premiums
that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors and no or insufficient amounts have
been escrowed for the payment thereof. Any such advances shall be reimbursable
in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to
Section 3.06 hereof, and may be withdrawn from the Custodial Account as a
Servicing Advance, as and to the extent permitted by Section 3.09 hereof. All
costs incurred by the Master Servicer in effecting the timely payments of taxes,
assessments and ground rents (if any) on the Mortgaged Properties, FHA Mortgage
Insurance premiums in respect of the Mortgage Loans and any other related
insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating any amounts which
affect monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the
principal balance under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the
terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Master Servicer shall not (unless (i) the related Mortgagor is in default with
respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the good faith and
reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, (ii) the
Master Servicer has obtained the written consent of the FHA if required under
FHA Regulations and (iii) the Master Servicer has obtained written confirmation
from the Rating Agency that there would be no resulting downgrade, withdrawal or
qualification of the then-current rating of any Class of Rated Certificates)
permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would affect the
amount or timing of any related payment of principal, interest or other amount
payable thereunder or, in the Master Servicer's good faith and reasonable
judgment, would materially impair the security for such Mortgage Loan or reduce
the likelihood of timely payment of amounts due thereon.
In addition, the Master Servicer shall not make or permit any
modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, or take any other action with
respect to, any Mortgage Loan that would (A) result in an Adverse REMIC Event
with respect to any of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III or (B) cause any Mortgage
Loan to cease to be a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code. Any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any
Mortgage Loan shall be consistent with the servicing standard set forth in the
first paragraph of this Section 3.01.
(e) At no time prior to six months before the Stated Maturity Date
of any Mortgage Loan shall any Seller, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or any
of their respective Affiliates solicit the related Mortgagor, directly or
indirectly, for purposes of providing such Mortgagor with financing to prepay
such Mortgage Loan.
62
(f) The relationship of the Master Servicer to the Trustee under
this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent
contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
(g) The Master Servicer shall maintain accurate records, certified
by a Servicing Officer, of each Final Recovery Determination in respect of any
Mortgage Loan and the basis thereof. Each Final Recovery Determination shall be
evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than the
tenth Business Day following such Final Recovery Determination.
SECTION 3.02. Administration of GNMA Certificates and FHA
Debentures.
If at any time the Trustee, as the registered holder of a GNMA
Certificate or an FHA Debenture, is requested in such capacity, by any Person
whatsoever to take any action (other than the disposition thereof) or to give
any consent, approval or waiver, then the Trustee shall promptly notify all of
the Certificateholders of such request in writing and shall, in its capacity as
the registered holder of such GNMA Certificate or FHA Debenture, as the case may
be, take such action in connection with the exercise and/or enforcement of any
rights and/or remedies available to it in such capacity with respect to such
request only as Holders entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights allocated
to the Classes affected thereby shall direct in writing. If the Trustee does not
receive written instructions from Holders entitled to at least 51% of such
Voting Rights within 30 days of their receipt of such notification from the
Trustee, the Trustee may (i) take such course of action as it determines, in its
reasonable and good faith judgment, is in the best interests of the
Certificateholders or (ii) refuse to take such requested action or to give any
such requested consent, approval or waiver.
SECTION 3.03. Collection of Mortgage Asset Payments.
(a) The Master Servicer shall proceed diligently, using all
reasonably practicable methods, to collect all payments called for under the
terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, when and as they become due and
payable, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this
Agreement and the terms and provisions of the FHA Mortgage Insurance, follow
such collection procedures as it follows with respect to mortgage loans
comparable to the Mortgage Loans and serviced by it for others. The Master
Servicer shall not accept any prepayment of the principal of any Mortgage Loan
unless the prepayment is permitted by the terms of the Mortgage Loan and FHA
Regulations.
(b) The Trustee shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the
Collection Account all distributions actually received on the GNMA Certificates
and any FHA Debentures (except those amounts which constitute (i) Retained Yield
with respect to any FHA Debentures and (ii) payments of interest on any FHA
Debenture with respect to which the Master Servicer has previously made a
Monthly Advance). If such distributions are to be made by wire transfer, the
Trustee shall direct that such wire transfer be made to the Collection Account.
The Trustee shall remit to the Master Servicer by wire transfer any amounts
received by it constituting (i) Retained Yield on any FHA Debentures and (ii)
payments of interest on any FHA Debenture with
63
respect to which the Master Servicer has previously made a Monthly Advance,
which amounts shall, upon receipt thereby, be deposited by the Master Servicer
in the Custodial Account. If the full amount of any distribution on any GNMA
Certificate or FHA Debenture shall not have been received by the Trustee by the
close of business on the date on which such distribution was due to be received
thereon, the Trustee shall notify the Master Servicer and the party required to
make such distribution. If the full amount of such distribution shall not have
been received by the Trustee or the Master Servicer one Business Day following
such notice, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Certificateholders, and such
parties shall proceed in accordance with Section 3.02.
Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall accept a second
payment on any GNMA Certificate in any calendar month after the Due Date for
such GNMA Certificate in such month.
SECTION 3.04. Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect
of the Master Servicer and each Seller.
The Master Servicer, Greystone Funding and Daiwa Finance each shall
afford the Depositor and the Trustee, without charge but only upon reasonable
notice and during normal business hours, access to all records and documentation
in the Master Servicer's, Greystone Funding's or Daiwa Finance's, as the case
may be, possession regarding the Mortgage Loans and to all accounts, insurance
policies and other matters in the Master Servicer's, Greystone Funding's or
Daiwa Finance's, as the case may be, possession relating to this Agreement and
access to officers of the Master Servicer responsible for its obligations
hereunder. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations
of the Master Servicer, Greystone Funding and/or Daiwa Finance hereunder. The
Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or
failure to act by the Master Servicer, Greystone Funding or Daiwa Finance and is
not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer, Greystone
Funding or Daiwa Finance hereunder or otherwise.
SECTION 3.05. Sub-Servicers.
(a) It is understood that the Master Servicer may perform its
servicing obligations under this Agreement through Sub-Servicers, provided that
each such Sub-Servicer, at all times it is servicing any Mortgage Loan, is an
established and approved servicer of FHA-insured project mortgage loans. For
purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received
payments on Mortgage Loans upon receipt thereof by a Sub-Servicer. The Master
Servicer shall pay all fees and expenses of each Sub-Servicer out of the
Servicing Compensation or out of the Master Servicer's own funds. Any agreement
that may be entered into by the Master Servicer and any transactions or services
relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity as such
shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Master Servicer alone,
and except to the extent that the Trustee (or any other successor master
servicer) succeeds to the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
hereunder as provided in subsection (b) below, neither the Trustee (or any other
successor master servicer) nor any Certificateholder shall be deemed to be a
party thereto or have any claims, rights, obligations,
64
duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer or for the payment of the
fees and expenses of any Sub-Servicer. Any such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall
conform in all material respects with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the fact
that the Master Servicer may perform its servicing obligations under this
Agreement through another entity, the Master Servicer shall at all times remain
obligated and liable to the Trustee and the Certificate-holders without
diminution by virtue of such servicing being performed by such other entity and
to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master
Servicer alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) If the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default), the Trustee (or
any other successor master servicer) shall succeed to any rights and obligations
of the Master Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement and shall be deemed to
have assumed the Master Servicer's interest therein; provided, however, that the
Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations
under any Sub-Servicing Agreement arising prior to the date of such succession.
The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of
the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records
relating to the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting
of collected amounts held by or on behalf of it and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of servicing to the
assuming party.
SECTION 3.06. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Escrow Accounts.
The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
custodial accounts (each, an "Escrow Account") and deposit and retain therein
all collections from the Mortgagors for the payment of taxes, assessments, FHA
Mortgage Insurance premiums, hazard and other insurance premiums and comparable
items for the account of the Mortgagors. The Master Servicer shall deposit all
such funds and maintain such accounts in accordance with applicable FHA
Regulations. All Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts.
Subject to the terms of the related Mortgage Loans and the
applicable FHA Regulations, withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow
Accounts may be made to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, FHA
Mortgage Insurance premiums, hazard and other insurance premiums and comparable
items, to reimburse the Master Servicer for prior advances of such items, to
refund to any Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages, to pay
interest, if required, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to
clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 10.01 hereof. As part of its servicing duties, the
Master Servicer, without right of reimbursement, shall pay to the Mortgagors
interest on funds in the Escrow Account, to the extent required by law.
65
SECTION 3.07. Reserve Accounts.
The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, as applicable, one
or more accounts (the "Reserve Accounts"), into which all Reserve Funds, if any,
shall be deposited and retained. Withdrawals of amounts so deposited may be made
(i) to pay for, or to reimburse the related Mortgagor in connection with,
replacements, repairs and/or capital improvements at the related Mortgaged
Property if the replacements have been effected or the repairs or capital
improvements have been completed, and such withdrawals are made, in accordance
with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01(a), FHA Regulations and
the terms of the related Mortgage Note, Mortgage and any agreement with the
related Mortgagor governing such Reserve Funds, and (ii) to distribute interest
earned on such amounts to the related Mortgagor pursuant to the FHA Regulations.
All Reserve Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts.
SECTION 3.08. Maintenance of the Custodial Account.
The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, in its name on
behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Custodial
Account. The Master Servicer shall deposit into the Custodial Account on a daily
basis, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments
and collections received or made by it (without duplication) subsequent to the
Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal of and interest and any other
payments on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date):
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds collected on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans,
other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the
Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the
Master Servicer's normal servicing procedures and the terms of the
applicable FHA Mortgage Insurance Contract;
(iv) all Prepayment Premiums collected with respect to the
Mortgage Loans;
(v) the amount of any losses required to be deposited by the
Master Servicer pursuant to the third succeeding paragraph of this Section
3.08 in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;
(vi) all amounts constituting Retained Yield with respect to any
FHA Debentures or interest on any FHA Debentures with respect to which the
Master Servicer has previously made a Monthly Advance;
66
(vii) all proceeds of any purchase by Greystone Funding, Daiwa
Finance, the Majority Class B Certificateholder, the Master Servicer or
the Trustee, as the case may be, of any Mortgage Asset pursuant to Article
II, Section 3.15 or Section 10.01 hereof; and
(viii) any other amounts specifically required to be deposited
in the Custodial Account pursuant to this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any amounts
constituting Retained Yield required to be deposited by the Master Servicer into
the Custodial Account pursuant to clause (vi) above are identifiable, such
amounts may be transferred directly to Greystone Funding (with respect to the
Greystone Mortgage Assets) and Daiwa Finance (with respect to the Daiwa Mortgage
Assets).
The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Master Servicer
shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, amounts to be deposited in the Escrow Accounts
and/or the Reserve Accounts and payments in the nature of late payment charges,
assumption fees and modification fees in respect of the Mortgage Loans, if
collected, need not be remitted or deposited into the Custodial Account by the
Master Servicer. In the event that the Master Servicer shall deposit any amount
not required to be so deposited, it may at any time withdraw such amount from
the Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. All
funds deposited in the Custodial Account shall be held by the Master Servicer in
trust on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders until
disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with
Section 3.09. In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from
the Custodial Account made by the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer may invest the funds in the Custodial Account in
Permitted Investments, which shall mature not later than the Business Day
preceding the Master Servicer Remittance Date next following the date of such
investment (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the
institution that maintains the Custodial Account, then such Permitted Investment
shall mature not later than such Master Servicer Remittance Date). All such
Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee for the benefit
of the Certificateholders (in its capacity as such) or its nominee. All income
and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment shall be for the
benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to withdrawal from time to
time. The amount of any losses net of any gains not paid to the Master Servicer
incurred in respect of any such investments shall be remitted to the Trustee or
deposited in the Custodial Account out of the Master Servicer's own funds
promptly following the date that same are realized.
67
The Master Servicer shall promptly give notice to the Trustee, the
Rating Agency and the Depositor of the location of the Custodial Account and of
any change thereof.
SECTION 3.09. Permitted Withdrawals from the Custodial Account.
The Master Servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from
the Custodial Account for the following purposes:
(a) to pay to the Master Servicer, as Servicing Compensation,
that portion of any payment or other collection of interest (including any
Prepayment Interest Excesses) on or in respect of any Mortgage Loan that
represents Servicing Fees with respect to such Mortgage Loan accrued for
the period with respect to which such payment or other collection of
interest applies (to the extent that such amount was not previously paid
to or retained by the Master Servicer), and to pay to the Master Servicer,
as additional Servicing Compensation, earnings on or investment income
with respect to funds credited to the Custodial Account and any other
amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account that constitute Servicing
Compensation;
(b) to reimburse the Master Servicer or Trustee for Advances
made in respect of any Mortgage Loan, such right of reimbursement pursuant
to this subclause (b) being limited to amounts received in respect of such
Mortgage Loan ("Related Proceeds") (including, for this purpose, late
payments, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds
and Repurchase Proceeds) and amounts received in connection with the sale
pursuant to Section 3.15 or 10.01 of any FHA Debentures that constitute
related FHA Insurance Benefits, provided, however, that unless an FHA
Insurance Nonexistence Event has occurred, reimbursement of Servicing
Advances pursuant to this subclause (b) shall be limited to that portion,
if any, of such Related Proceeds remaining after the payment/reimbursement
therefrom of all Expected Recoveries due Certificateholders, unreimbursed
Monthly Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees, unpaid Trustee Fees and unpaid
Retained Yield in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or any FHA
Debentures that constitute related FHA Insurance Benefits in respect of
the related Mortgage Loan;
(c) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Trustee for
Monthly Advances made in respect of any FHA Debenture, such right of
reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (c) being limited to amounts
received in respect of such FHA Debenture (including, without limitation,
from the sale thereof pursuant to Section 3.15 or 10.01) that represents a
payment or other collection of interest (net of any portion thereof that
constitutes Retained Yield);
(d) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Trustee for any
Nonrecoverable Advances; provided that no Servicing Advance shall be
reimbursable pursuant to this subclause (d) unless it was incurred after
an FHA Insurance Nonexistence Event shall have occurred;
68
(e) at such time as any Advance is reimbursed pursuant to any
of the preceding clauses (b), (c) or (d), to pay the Master Servicer or
the Trustee all related unpaid Advance Interest, provided, however, that
if such reimbursement, together with all Advance Interest previously paid
to the Master Servicer and the Trustee, would exceed the Advance Interest
Cap, reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (e) shall be permitted only
to the extent that such payment, together with the aggregate of all prior
payments of Advance Interest, does not exceed the Advance Interest Cap;
(f) [Reserved.]
(g) to pay to Greystone Funding, Daiwa Finance, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, all amounts received
subsequent to the date of purchase in respect of any Mortgage Asset that
has been purchased thereby pursuant to any of Sections 2.01, 2.02, 2.04,
3.15 or 10.01 hereof;
(h) to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Depositor and/or
certain related Persons for expenses incurred thereby and reimbursable

pursuant to Section 3.08 and not required to be deposited therein;
(j) to pay to Greystone Funding (with respect to a Greystone
Mortgage Asset) or Daiwa Finance (with respect to a Daiwa Mortgage Asset)
any amounts deposited in the Custodial Account which constitute Retained
Yield in respect of any FHA Debenture or FHA Assigned Mortgage Loan;
(k) to pay any and all taxes imposed on the Trust Fund by
federal, state or local governmental authorities to the extent such taxes
are to be paid by the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 11.09(h)(iv); and
(l) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account upon
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof.
The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on
a Mortgage Asset-by-Mortgage Asset basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to any of the foregoing clauses.
On or prior to each Master Servicer Remittance Date, after payment
of items (a) through (k) above (to the extent necessary and without regard to
the withdrawal contemplated by this paragraph), the Master Servicer shall
withdraw from the Custodial Account and remit to the Trustee, in immediately
available funds, and the Trustee, upon receipt thereof, shall deposit in the
Collection Account, all amounts then on deposit in the Custodial Account that
represent Prepayment Premiums or any part of the Available Distribution Amount
for the next succeeding
69
Distribution Date or which, if they were on deposit in the Collection Account,
would be applied to pay an expense of the Trust Fund withdrawable therefrom.
SECTION 3.10. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Other Insurance.
Pursuant to the Housing Act or as may be stipulated by the
Commissioner of the FHA, and specifically in compliance with 24 CFR ss.207.260
and any superseding or supplemental regulation, the Master Servicer shall
arrange that at all times during the existence of this Agreement all buildings
and improvements on the Mortgaged Properties are, in each case, insured by
Qualified Insurers in accordance with the related Mortgage and applicable FHA
Regulations against insurable loss by fire and other hazards, casualties, floods
and contingencies to the extent that such insurance is available at a reasonably
competitive price, and where such insurance is for any reason not so available,
the Master Servicer shall so notify the FHA as required to ensure that no
payment of FHA Insurance Benefits is diminished by the absence of such
insurance. Such policies, with copies of all notices thereunder to be given to
the Master Servicer, shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss
payable to the Trustee. All proceeds paid under any such policies shall, after
receipt by the Trustee of a direction from a Servicing Officer of the Master
Servicer, be delivered by the Trustee to the Master Servicer for application to
the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or for release by the Master
Servicer to the related Mortgagor, in accordance with the Master Servicer's
normal servicing procedures and the terms of the applicable FHA Mortgage
Insurance Contract, and any such proceeds remaining after such application or
release shall be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.08.
Any cost incurred by or on behalf of the Master Servicer in maintaining any such
insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating any amounts which affect
monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee
for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit.
SECTION 3.11. Enforcement of Due-On-Sale and Due-On-Encumbrance
Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.11(a), when any
Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the related Mortgagor, the Master
Servicer shall, to the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance, enforce
any due-on-sale clause contained in the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to
the extent permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, but only
to the extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize
coverage under the related FHA Mortgage Insurance Contract or any Required
Insurance Policy. In the event that the Master Servicer is prohibited by law
from enforcing any such due-on-sale clause, or if coverage under the related FHA
Mortgage Insurance Contract or any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely
affected, the Master Servicer is authorized, subject to Section 3.11(b), to take
or enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or 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 state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon, provided that the
Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if so covered before the Master
Servicer enters such agreement) by the related FHA Mortgage Insurance Contract
and the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Master
70
Servicer, subject to Section 3.11(b), is also authorized with the prior approval
of the FHA and, if necessary and appropriate, the insurers under any Required
Insurance Policies 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 Mortgage
Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to
be in default under this Section 3.11(a) by reason of any transfer or assumption
which the Master Servicer is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever.
(b) Subject to the Master Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale
clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.11(a) hereof, in any case in which a
Mortgaged Property has been conveyed by the related Mortgagor, if an assumption
is permitted under Section 3.11(a) and the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property
is to be conveyed is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification
agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage held for the benefit of
the Certificateholders that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an
instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor
from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Trustee for signature the assumption agreement with the
Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification
agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as
are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions
or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. The Master Servicer
shall also deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee with the foregoing
documents a letter explaining the nature of such documents and the reason or
reasons why the Trustee's signature is required.
With such letter, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a
certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying that: (i) a Servicing Officer has
examined and approved such documents as to form and substance, (ii) the
Trustee's execution and delivery thereof will not conflict with or violate any
terms of this Agreement or cause the unpaid principal balance and interest on
the Mortgage Loan to be uncollectible in whole or in part, (iii) any required
consents of the FHA and insurers under any Required Insurance Policies have been
obtained and (iv) subsequent to the closing of the transaction involving the
assumption or transfer (A) the Mortgage Loan will continue to be secured by a
first (or, if so reflected on the Mortgage Asset Schedule, a second) mortgage
lien pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, (B) such transaction will not
adversely affect the coverage under the related FHA Mortgage Insurance or any
Required Insurance Policies, (C) the Mortgage Loan will fully amortize over the
remaining term thereof, (D) the Mortgage Rate on the Mortgage Loan will not be
altered nor will the term of the Mortgage Loan be increased as a result of such
assumption or transfer and (E) if the seller/transferor of the Mortgaged
Property is to be released from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer used underwriting standards of prudent underwriters of FHA-insured
project mortgage loans in the state where the related Mortgaged Property is
located in evaluating the creditworthiness of the purchaser/transferee, and such
release will not (based on the Master Servicer's good faith and reasonable
determination) adversely affect the collectibility of the Mortgage Loan. Upon
receipt of such certificate, the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders shall execute any necessary instruments for such assumption
or substitution of liability. Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated
by such documents, the Master
71
Servicer shall cause the originals of the assumption agreement, the release (if
any), or the modification or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage to be
delivered to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and deposited
in the Mortgage File for such Mortgage Loan. Any fee collected by the Master
Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
will be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
(c) When any Mortgaged Property has been further encumbered by the
related Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of
such encumbrance, enforce any due-on-encumbrance clause contained in the related
Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under applicable law and
governmental regulations, but only to the extent that such enforcement will not
adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under the related FHA Mortgage Insurance
Contract or any Required Insurance Policy.
SECTION 3.12. Maintenance of FHA Mortgage Insurance; Collection
Thereunder.
(a) The Master Servicer covenants and agrees not to act, or fail to
act, in any such manner as to impair the full force and effect of the FHA
Mortgage Insurance in respect of any Mortgage Loan throughout the term of this
Agreement and also covenants and agrees to exercise its best reasonable efforts
to discharge its obligations arising out of the FHA Mortgage Insurance Contract
in respect of each Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer hereby agrees that it
shall be liable to the Trustee and the Trust Fund for any loss, liability or
expense incurred by the Trustee, any Certificateholder and/or the Trust Fund by
reason of any FHA Mortgage Insurance being voided, reduced, released or
adversely affected by reason of the failure by the Master Servicer to perform
its obligations hereunder in strict compliance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01(a),
shall discharge all obligations of the mortgagee under each Mortgage Loan and,
subject to the right to assign the Mortgage Loan to the FHA, shall take all
action reasonably necessary to preserve the lien of the related Mortgage,
including, without limitation, the defense of actions to challenge or foreclose
such lien. In particular, the Master Servicer shall:
(i) ensure the payment, on a timely basis, of the premiums on
the FHA Mortgage Insurance in respect of each Mortgage Loan;
(ii) make or cause to be made an annual physical inspection of
the property subject to each Mortgage Loan, and furnish an inspection
report to the FHA and the Trustee; and
(iii) maintain insurance in accordance with Section 3.10 in
respect of, and pay ground rents, if any, taxes and other assessments on,
any Mortgaged Property if the related Mortgagor fails to do so.
(b) If a Mortgagor shall fail to make any payment due on any
Mortgage Loan or fail to perform any other covenant under the provisions of any
Mortgage Loan which could
72
result in the acceleration of the debt, and such failure continues for a period
of thirty (30) days, the Master Servicer shall, by written instructions signed
by a Servicing Officer, promptly direct the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall,
promptly notify the FHA and the Class B Certificateholders of the default and
(unless such defaulted Mortgage Loan is purchased by the Majority Class B
Certificateholder pursuant to Section 3.15(a) hereof) shall, in accordance with
such instructions within forty-five (45) days after the expiration of the 30-day
grace period (or such other period as permitted or required by the FHA), notify
the FHA of its intention to file an insurance claim and of its election to
assign the Mortgage Loan to the FHA. The Master Servicer and, in accordance with
such instructions, the Trustee shall thereafter take such reasonable action as
is necessary to perfect the claim under the FHA Mortgage Insurance. With respect
to any defaulted Mortgage Loan as to which the Trustee is unable to deliver the
original Mortgage Note to the FHA because the original Mortgage Note has been
permanently lost or misplaced, the Trustee shall, on behalf of the Trust Fund,
deliver to the FHA a HUD Indemnity. The Master Servicer shall, as a condition to
the taking by the Trustee of any action under this paragraph, complete and
provide to the Trustee all forms and other documentation needed to notify the
FHA of, file and perfect such an insurance claim on a timely basis. In any such
connection, the Master Servicer shall be obligated to advance from its own funds
all amounts necessary to preserve rights under the related FHA Mortgage
Insurance Contract and, subject to any applicable limitations set forth in
Section 5.03, to preserve and protect the related Mortgaged Property and title
thereto, including, but not limited to, FHA Mortgage Insurance premiums, hazard
and other insurance premiums, taxes, special assessments and other costs
associated with providing security for such premises. The Master Servicer shall
not be entitled to reimbursement for any cost or advance relating to the
assignment of a defaulted Mortgage Loan to the FHA. Any cash amounts collected
from or on behalf of the FHA under or in connection with the FHA Mortgage
Insurance shall be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.08.
If the FHA allows the Trustee or the Master Servicer to decide the form in which
FHA Insurance Benefits will be paid (e.g., cash, FHA Debentures or some
combination thereof), the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall in each case
request that such FHA Insurance Benefits be paid in cash.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall, in
servicing a defaulted Mortgage Loan that is subject to HUD Mortgagee Letter
87-9, alter the procedures set forth in Section 3.12(b) as necessary to comply
with such HUD Mortgagee Letter 87-9.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any reason a defaulted
Mortgage Loan cannot be assigned to the FHA (including, without limitation, by
reason of any change in the FHA Regulations), then the Master Servicer may
foreclose upon such Mortgage Loan or acquire a deed in lieu thereof (and may
direct the Trustee to provide the appropriate notices to the FHA), but only if
the Master Servicer receives (and delivers to the Trustee) written confirmation
from the Rating Agency that such foreclosure or such other acquisition of title,
in and of itself, will not result in a withdrawal, qualification or downgrade of
the rating assigned by the Rating Agency to any Class of Rated Certificates. The
Trustee shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Master Servicer in
connection with the foregoing.
(e) If the Master Servicer forecloses upon a Mortgage Loan or
accepts a deed in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 3.12(d), then
following such foreclosure or such other
73
acquisition of title to the related Mortgaged Property, title thereto shall be
taken in the name of the Trustee or its designee. Immediately upon acquiring
title to any Mortgaged Property, the Trustee shall convey or cause the
conveyance of such Mortgaged Property to the FHA or, alternatively, the Master
Servicer shall, subject to Section 11.09, take such other action in respect of
such Mortgaged Property as is in the best interests of the Certificateholders
and as will not, as confirmed in writing by the Rating Agency, result in a
withdrawal, qualification or downgrade of the rating assigned by the Rating
Agency to any Class of Rated Certificates.
(f) No Certificateholder shall have any rights with respect to the
FHA Mortgage Insurance in respect of any Mortgage Loan except as provided for
herein. The Trustee shall be the "principal mortgagee" (as such term is used in
the FHA Regulations) with respect to each Mortgage Loan for purposes of the FHA
Regulations and the FHA Mortgage Insurance, and the Trustee shall retain legal
title to the Mortgage Loan and remain the mortgagee of record under the FHA
Mortgage Insurance. Without diminishing the obligations of the Master Servicer
hereunder with respect to any FHA Mortgage Insurance Contract or Mortgage Loan,
and without increasing the duties or liabilities of the Trustee hereunder, the
FHA shall have no obligation to recognize or deal with anyone other than the
principal mortgagee with respect to the rights, benefits and obligations of the
mortgagee under the FHA Mortgage Insurance Contract in respect of any Mortgage
Loan. The Mortgagor under each Mortgage Loan shall have no obligation to
recognize or do business with anyone other than the principal mortgagee or the
Master Servicer with respect to the rights, benefits and obligations of the
Mortgagor or the mortgagee under the related Mortgage. Except as provided in
Section 3.13, the Mortgage File shall remain in the custody of the principal
mortgagee, which shall be an FHA Approved Mortgagee.
SECTION 3.13. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer
shall immediately notify the Trustee of such payment by a certification of a
Servicing Officer (a "Master Servicer Release Certificate") (which certification
shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be
received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in
the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof have been so deposited)
and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, the Trustee shall, and is hereby authorized by the
Certificateholders to, release promptly the related Mortgage File to the Master
Servicer. Upon any such payment in full, and the delivery by the Master Servicer
to the Trustee of such certification, the Master Servicer shall prepare for
execution by the Trustee a release of the related Mortgage and a deed of
reconveyance of the property encumbered by such Mortgage or such other document
which is required by the law of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property
is located to effect a release of the lien of the Mortgage, and the Trustee
shall promptly execute and deliver such release and deed of reconveyance or
other document, which release and deed of reconveyance or other document shall
be without representation by or recourse to the Trustee and delivered by the
Master Servicer to the Person or Persons entitled thereto.
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
the FHA Mortgage Insurance
74
Contract in respect thereof, the Trustee shall, upon request of the Master
Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of a trust receipt signed by a Servicing
Officer, promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer and
shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to prosecution of any such
proceedings. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Master Servicer to return the
Mortgage File to the Trustee when the Master Servicer no longer needs the
Mortgage File or at the request of the Trustee, unless the Mortgage Loan shall
be assigned to the FHA or otherwise liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a
certification of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified
relating to the Liquidation Proceeds or other FHA Insurance Benefits (with
appropriate modifications in connection with the receipt of FHA Debentures), the
trust receipt shall be released by the Trustee to the Master Servicer.
SECTION 3.14. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession
of Master Servicer to be Held on Behalf of the
Trustee for the Benefit of the Certificateholders.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee to the extent required by this Agreement
all documents and instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer
or any Sub-Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders for any funds received by or on behalf of
the Master Servicer or which otherwise are collected by or on behalf the Master
Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in
respect of any Mortgage Loan. All Servicing Files and Mortgage Files in the
possession of the Master Servicer, and all funds collected or held by, or under
the control of, the Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether
from the collection of principal, interest and other payments on the Mortgage
Assets or from Repurchase Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds
or Insurance Proceeds or otherwise, including but not limited to, any funds on
deposit in the Custodial Account, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and
on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, to the
extent of any Retained Yield, for and on behalf of Greystone Funding (with
respect to a Greystone Mortgage Asset) or Daiwa Finance (with respect to a Daiwa
Mortgage Asset), and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the
Trustee and, to the extent of any Retained Yield, Greystone Funding (with
respect to a Greystone Mortgage Asset) or Daiwa Finance (with respect to a Daiwa
Mortgage Asset), subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The
Master Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any
Servicing File or Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Custodial
Account or any Reserve Account or Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise
are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ
of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any
claim or right of setoff against any Servicing File or Mortgage File or any
funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however,
that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from
any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.15. Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loans and FHA Debentures.
75
(a) If the Trustee has notified the Class B Certificateholders of
its intention to file an insurance claim with respect to a defaulted Mortgage
Loan pursuant to Section 3.12, the Majority Class B Certificateholder may, at
its option, purchase such Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price by
delivering cash in an amount equal to the applicable Purchase Price to the
Master Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account at any time before the
related insurance claim process is complete. Upon receipt by the Trustee of
written notification (by facsimile transmission, with a confirmation by mail) of
such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer (which notification shall be made by
the Master Servicer immediately following such deposit and shall include a
statement as to the accuracy of the Purchase Price), the Trustee shall release
the related Mortgage File to or at the direction of the Majority Class B
Certificateholder, and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment (which instruments shall be prepared and provided by the Majority
Class B Certificateholder), in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary
to vest in the Majority Class B Certificateholder, or its designee, title (to
the extent that such title was transferred to the Trustee) to any defaulted
Mortgage Loan. Any purchase of a defaulted Mortgage Loan pursuant to this
Section 3.15(a) shall be subject to any related Sub-Servicer's right to continue
servicing such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement; provided that such Sub-Servicing Agreement was in effect as of the
Closing Date. The Master Servicer, simultaneously with the purchase of a
defaulted FHA Loan by the Majority Class B Certificateholder, shall assign to
such Certificateholder its entire right, title and interest in and to any such
Sub-Servicing Agreement, all in accordance with the terms thereof. Within five
Business Days after the written request therefor, the Master Servicer shall
provide the Majority Class B Certificateholder with a copy of the related
Sub-Servicing Agreement, if any, applicable to a defaulted FHA Loan.
(b) If the Trustee receives FHA Debentures as part of the FHA
Insurance Benefits in respect of any FHA Assigned Mortgage Loan, then the
Trustee shall promptly so notify in writing the other parties hereto, the Rating
Agency and the Holders of the Class B Certificates. The Majority Class B
Certificateholder may, at its option, purchase such FHA Debentures at the
applicable Purchase Price by so notifying the Trustee in writing of its
intention to do so within ten days of its receipt of the notice contemplated by
the preceding sentence and by delivering cash in an amount equal to the
applicable Purchase Price to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Custodial
Account within fifteen days of its receipt of the notice contemplated by the
preceding sentence. If (i) the Majority Class B Certificateholder fails to
notify the Trustee within the applicable ten-day period of its intention to
purchase such FHA Debentures, or (ii) the Majority Class B Certificateholder has
notified the Trustee of its intention to purchase such FHA Debentures within the
applicable ten-day period but fails to purchase such FHA Debentures within the
fifteen-day period applicable to its purchase thereof, the Trustee shall
promptly so notify the Master Servicer. Upon receiving such notice from the
Trustee, the Master Servicer shall, no later than the tenth day following such
notice, purchase such FHA Debentures by depositing a cash amount equal to the
applicable Purchase Price in the Custodial Account. If the Master Servicer is
required but fails to purchase such FHA Debentures within the applicable ten-day
period, then the Trustee shall, no later than the third Business Day following
the end of the ten-day period during which the Master Servicer is required to
purchase such FHA Debentures as provided above, purchase such FHA Debentures by
delivering to the Master
76
Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account a cash amount equal to the
applicable Purchase Price.
Upon receipt of an Officer's Certificate from a Servicing Officer to
the effect that the sale proceeds for any FHA Debenture have been deposited in
the Custodial Account (or, if such purchase is being effected by the Trustee,
upon delivery to the Master Servicer of a cash amount equal to the applicable
Purchase Price), the Trustee shall cause such FHA Debenture to be re-registered
in the name of the purchaser or its designee. The Trustee shall not be liable
for any costs associated with the sale of any FHA Debentures, including, but not
limited to, any brokerage fees associated with any such sale.
SECTION 3.16. Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to retain or to withdraw from the Custodial Account the
amounts specified in clause (a) of Section 3.09 hereof as payable to it.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees,
modification fees and late payment charges actually collected in respect of any
Mortgage Loan shall be retained by the Master Servicer to the extent not
required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.08
hereof. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it
in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without
limitation, to the extent such premiums are not required to be paid or have not
been paid by the related Mortgagor, the payment of FHA Mortgage Insurance
premiums, as required by Section 3.12 hereof, and premiums for hazard insurance,
as required by Section 3.10 hereof, and the costs associated with the
maintenance of the other forms of insurance coverage, as required by Section
3.10 hereof, and the payment of servicing compensation to any Sub-Servicer
pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement), and shall not be entitled to
reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in Section 3.09 hereof.
SECTION 3.17. Reports to the Depositor; Account Statements.
Within five Business Days following each Distribution Date, the
Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, each Seller and the
Rating Agency a statement setting forth the status of the Custodial Account as
of the close of business on the most recent Master Servicer Remittance Date
showing, for the period to such Master Servicer Remittance Date from the second
preceding Master Servicer Remittance Date (or, in the case of the initial Master
Servicer Remittance Date, from the Cut-off Date), the aggregate of deposits in
and withdrawals from the Custodial Account, if any, for each category of deposit
specified in Section 3.08 hereof and each category of withdrawal specified in
Section 3.09 hereof. Within fifteen Business Days following each Distribution
Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the Rating Agency a
statement setting forth the status of the Collection Account as of the close of
business on such Distribution Date showing, for the period to such Distribution
Date from the second preceding Distribution Date (or, in the case of the initial
Distribution Date, from the Cut-off
77
Date), the aggregate of deposits in or withdrawals from the Collection Account,
if any, for each category of deposit and withdrawal specified in Section 4.01.
SECTION 3.18. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee
on or before March 15 of each year, commencing in 1997: (a) an Officers'
Certificate stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of the
performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement has been made under such
officer's supervision, (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on
such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this
Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a
default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default,
known to such officer and the nature and status thereof, (iii) a Servicing
Officer has conducted a review of the activities of each Sub-Servicer during the
immediately preceding year and its performance under the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, and (iv) to the best of such Servicing Officer's knowledge, based on
such review, each Sub-Servicer has performed and fulfilled its duties,
responsibilities and obligations under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement in
all material respects throughout such year, or if there has been a default in
the performance or fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or
obligations, specifying each such default known to such Servicing Officer and
the nature and status thereof; and (b) a certification to the effect that the
servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Master Servicer during the prior calendar
year has been in compliance with the minimum servicing standards set forth in
the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers. The Master Servicer
shall forward a copy of each such Officer's Certificate and certificate of the
Master Servicer to the Rating Agency. Copies of such Officers' Certificates and
certificates of the Master Servicer shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder upon request at the Master Servicer's expense, provided such
statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.19. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Report.
On or before March 15 of each year, commencing in 1997, the Master
Servicer, at its expense, shall furnish to the Depositor and the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders (i) an opinion by a firm of independent
certified public accountants on the financial position of the Master Servicer at
the end of its fiscal year and the results of operations and changes in
financial position of the Master Servicer for such year then ended on the basis
of an examination conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, and (ii) a report from such independent certified public accountants
to the effect that, based on an examination conducted substantially in
accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants, such firm is of the opinion that the assertion made pursuant
to Section 3.18 regarding compliance with the minimum servicing standards set
forth in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers during the
preceding fiscal year is fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such
exceptions and other qualifications that, in the opinion of such firm, such
accounting standards require it to report. In rendering such statement, such
firm may rely, as to matters relating to direct servicing of mortgage loans by
78
Sub-Servicers, upon comparable reports for examinations conducted substantially
in accordance with such accounting standards (rendered within one year of such
statement) of independent public accountants with respect to the related
Sub-Servicer. The Master Servicer shall forward a copy of each such report to
the Rating Agency. Copies of such report shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder upon request at the Master Servicer's expense, provided such
statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.20. Access to Certain Information.
The Master Servicer shall afford to the Trustee and the Depositor,
and to the OTS, the FDIC and any other banking or insurance regulatory authority
that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder and to the FHA, access to
any records regarding the Mortgage Loans and its servicing thereof within its
control, except to the extent it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law
or contract or to the extent such information is subject to a privilege under
applicable law to be asserted on behalf of the Certificateholders. Such access
shall be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable prior written request
and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer
designated by it. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee
its most recent financial statements and such other information in its
possession regarding its business, affairs, property and condition, financial or
otherwise as the party requesting such information, in its reasonable judgment,
determines to be relevant to the performance of the obligations hereunder of the
Master Servicer. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for any
action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and the Trustee is not obligated
to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or
otherwise.
79
ARTICLE IV
PAYMENTS AND STATEMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
SECTION 4.01. Collection Account.
The Trustee shall establish, prior to the Closing Date, and shall
maintain, in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, the
Collection Account, which shall be an Eligible Account, into which the Trustee
shall deposit upon receipt all payments received on the GNMA Certificates and
any FHA Debentures (net of any Retained Yield and any payments of interest on
the FHA Debentures with respect to which the Master Servicer has previously made
Monthly Advances), all payments remitted by the Master Servicer in respect of
Compensating Interest and Monthly Advances, all amounts remitted by the Master
Servicer pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 3.09, any amounts required to
be remitted by the Depositor to the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 11.09(o), any
amounts required to be remitted by the Trustee to the Trust Fund pursuant to
Section 11.09(n) and any amounts required to be remitted by the Master Servicer
to the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 3.12 or Section 11.09(n). All
distributions to be made from time to time to the Certificateholders out of
funds in the Collection Account shall be made by or on behalf of the Trustee.
The Trustee will give notice to the Master Servicer, the Rating Agency and the
Depositor of the location of the Collection Account and of any change thereof,
prior to the use thereof. Funds held in the Collection Account and delivered to
the Trustee earlier than one Business Day prior to the next Distribution Date
shall be invested by the Trustee, to the extent practicable, in Permitted
Investments which mature no later than one Business Day prior to the next
Distribution Date as directed in writing by the Master Servicer. All income and
gain net of any losses realized from any such investment shall be for the
benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to withdrawal at the Master
Servicer's direction from time to time. The amount of any losses net of any
gains not paid to the Master Servicer incurred in respect of any such
investments shall be deposited in the Collection Account by the Master Servicer
out of its own funds immediately as realized.
The Trustee shall make, to the extent required or authorized
hereunder, withdrawals from the Collection Account for the following purposes:
(a) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Collection Account
and not required to be deposited therein;
(b) to make required distributions to the Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 4.02(a) and Section 4.02(b);
(c) to pay itself on each Distribution Date the Trustee Fee
for such Distribution Date and, to the extent not previously paid, for all
prior Distribution Dates;
(d) reimburse itself for unreimbursed expenses incurred by it
to the extent expressly reimbursable under this Agreement;
80
(e) to pay for any Opinion of Counsel the expense of which
this Agreement explicitly assigns to the Trust Fund;
(f) to pay to the Master Servicer, as additional servicing
compensation, earnings on or investment income with respect to funds
credited to the Collection Account;

termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article X hereof.
It is understood and agreed that, in the case of any payment or
reimbursement to the Trustee (in its capacity as such) payable or reimbursed by
the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee's right thereto shall be
prior to the right of the Certificateholders to payment on any Distribution
Date.
SECTION 4.02. Distributions.
(a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall apply amounts on
deposit in the Collection Account, in each case to the extent of the remaining
portion of the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, in the
following order of priority:

Certificates, the Holders of the Class A-1 Certificates, the Holders

of Certificates (A) for such Distribution Date (net, in the case of
the Class A-Z Certificates, of any Monthly Class A-Z Accrual Amount
for such Distribution Date) and, (B) to the extent not previously

A-1 Certificates, the Holders of the Class A-2 Certificates, the
Holders of the Class A-3 Certificates, the Holders of the Class A-4
Certificates and the Holders of the Class A-Z Certificates
(allocable among such Classes of Certificateholders as provided
below) in an amount (not to exceed the then aggregate of the Class
Principal Balances of such Classes of Certificates) equal to the
Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date (such
distributions to be made on
81
each Distribution Date until the Class Principal Balances of the
respective Classes of Class A Certificates are reduced to zero);
(iii) to distributions of interest to the Holders of the Class B
Certificates, in an amount equal to all Accrued Certificate Interest
in respect of such Class of Certificates for such Distribution Date
and, to the extent not previously paid, for all prior Distribution
Dates;
(iv) if the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of the
Class A Certificates has been reduced to zero, to distributions of
principal to the Holders of the Class B Certificates, in an amount
(not to exceed the then Class Principal Balance of the Class B
Certificates) equal to the Principal Distribution Amount for such
Distribution Date (net of any portion thereof applied to retire the
Class A Certificates) (such distributions to be made on each
Distribution Date until the Class Principal Balance of the Class B
Certificates is reduced to zero); and
(v) if any portion of the Available Distribution Amount for such
Distribution Date remains, to distributions of such portion to the
Holders of the Class R-I Certificates.
Distributions of principal (including, in the case of the Class A-1,
Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Certificates, distributions of the Monthly
Class A-Z Accrual Amount) made on any Distribution Date in respect of the Class
A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4 and Class A-Z Certificates pursuant to
clause (ii) above shall be paid: first, to the Holders of the Class A-1
Certificates, until the Class Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates is
reduced to zero; second, to the Holders of the Class A-2 Certificates, until the
Class Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; third,

Certificates, until the Class Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates
(as the same shall have been increased by additions thereto of the Monthly Class
A-Z Accrual Amounts) is reduced to zero; provided that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, on and after any Class A Principal Distribution Cross-Over Date, and
in any event on the final Distribution Date in connection with a termination of
the Trust Fund as contemplated by Article X, such sequential distributions of
principal shall be disregarded, and the Trustee shall make the distributions of
principal on the respective Classes of Class A Certificates, on a pro rata
basis, in accordance with the respective Class Principal Balances of such
Classes of Class A Certificates outstanding immediately prior to such
Distribution Date, until the Class Principal Balance of each such Class has been
reduced to zero.
All distributions of interest made in respect of the Class S
Certificates on any Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), shall be
deemed to have been made in respect of the respective Class S REMIC III Regular
Interests, in an amount equal to, and pro rata in accordance with, the Accrued
Certificate Interest in respect of each such Class S REMIC III
82
Regular Interest for such Distribution Date and, to the extent not previously
deemed paid, for all prior Distribution Dates.
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw any
amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account that represent Prepayment
Premiums collected during or prior to the related Collection Period and shall
distribute such amounts separate from the Available Distribution Amount as
additional interest as follows: (i) 75% of such Prepayment Premiums shall be
distributed to the Holders of the Class S Certificates and (ii) 25% of such
Prepayment Premiums shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class(es) of the
Sequential Pay Certificates entitled to distributions in reduction of its
(their) Class Principal Balance(s) on such Distribution Date (pro rata based on
the relative amounts of such distributions of principal if there is more than
one such Class of Sequential Pay Certificates then entitled thereto).
All distributions of additional interest (in the form of Prepayment
Premiums) made in respect of the Class S Certificates on any Distribution Date
pursuant to this Section 4.02(b), shall be deemed to have been made in respect
of the respective Class S REMIC III Regular Interests, pro rata in accordance
with the respective amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest in respect of such
Class S REMIC III Regular Interest for such Distribution Date.
(c) On each Distribution Date on or prior to the Accrual Termination
Date, prior to any distributions being made on such Distribution Date, an amount
equal to the Monthly Class A-Z Accrual Amount for such Distribution Date shall
be added to the Class Principal Balance of the Class A-Z Certificates, to the
extent provided by operation of the definition of Class Principal Balance. No
Accrued Certificate Interest in respect of the Class A-Z Certificates that is so
added to the Class Principal Balance thereof shall thereafter be considered
payable as interest in respect of such Class of Certificates or otherwise be
considered unpaid for purposes of this Agreement.
(d) All distributions made with respect to each Class on each
Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates
in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Except as
otherwise provided below, all such distributions with respect to each Class on
each Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholders of the respective
Class of record at the close of business on the related Record Date and shall be
made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such
Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided the Trustee with wiring
instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date
(which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to
all subsequent Distribution Dates) and is the registered owner of Certificates
the aggregate initial Certificate Principal Balance of which is at least
$2,500,000 or the initial Certificate Notional Amount of which is at least
$10,000,000, or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such
Certificateholder as it appears in the Certificate Register. The final
distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Trustee or
such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
83
(e) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall
be paid to DTC, as Holder thereof, and DTC shall be responsible for crediting
the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Participants in
accordance with its normal procedures. Each Participant shall be responsible for
disbursing such distribution to the related Beneficial Holders that it
represents and to each Indirect Participant for which it acts as agent. Each
Indirect Participant shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the related
Beneficial Holders that it represents. None of the parties hereto shall have any
responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or
applicable law. The Trustee and the Depositor shall perform their respective
obligations under the Letter of Representations among the Depositor, the Trustee
and the initial Clearing Agency, a copy of which Letter of Representations is
attached hereto as Exhibit G.
(f) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions
from the proceeds of the Trust Fund in respect of their Certificates, and all
rights and interests of the Certificateholders in and to such distributions,
shall be as set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Holders of any Class of
Certificates nor any party hereto shall in any way be responsible or liable to
the Holders of any other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly
previously distributed on the Certificates.
(g) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 10.01 and 10.02,
whenever the Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to any
Class of Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall, no later than five days after the related Determination Date, mail to
each Holder of record on such date of such Class of Certificates a notice to the
effect that:
(i) the Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect
to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date
but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the
office of the Certificate Registrar or at such other location
therein specified, and
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and
after such Distribution Date.
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class
on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to
tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested
in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate
non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been
given pursuant to this Section 4.02(g) shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the
Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps
to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the
surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and
expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such
Certificateholders
84
following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the
non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest
shall accrue or be payable to any former Holder on any amount held in trust
pursuant to this paragraph. If all of the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation by the second anniversary of the delivery of such
second notice, the Trustee shall distribute to the Class R-I Certificateholders
all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto and shall have
no further liability for such funds or other unclaimed assets.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting
payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the
Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. If the Trustee
does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or
advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding
requirements, the Trustee shall indicate the amount withheld to such
Certificateholders.
(i) All distributions of Accrued Certificate Interest, principal and
additional interest (in the form of Prepayment Premiums) made in respect of each
Class of Sequential Pay Certificates on each Distribution Date pursuant to
Section 4.02(a) and/or Section 4.02(b) shall be deemed to have first been

shall be deemed to have been so made from the amounts deemed distributed in
respect of the REMIC II Regular Interests on such Distribution Date pursuant to

readily available to the Master Servicer without material additional
cost or expense for which the Master Servicer will not be
reimbursed.
The Trustee may conclusively rely on the Collection Reports provided
to it by the Master Servicer. The Trustee shall not be responsible to recompute,
recalculate or verify the information provided to it by the Master Servicer,
unless such information is erroneous on its face, the Trustee has actual
knowledge that such information is erroneous or the Trustee is requested to do

SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses and Certain Other
Expenses and Shortfalls.
(a) If, following the distributions to be made in respect of the
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.02(a) on any Distribution Date, the aggregate
of the Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Assets that will be outstanding
immediately following such Distribution Date is less than the aggregate of the
Class Principal Balances of the respective Classes of Sequential Pay
Certificates, the Class Principal Balance of the Class B Certificates will be
reduced until such deficit (or such Class Principal Balance) is reduced to zero
(whichever occurs first). If any portion of such deficit remains at such time as
the Class Principal Balance of the Class B Certificates is reduced to zero, then
the respective Class Principal Balances of the remaining Classes of Sequential
Pay Certificates shall be reduced, pro rata in accordance with the relative
sizes of the then respective Class Principal Balances of such remaining Classes
of Sequential Pay Certificates, until such deficit (or each such Class Principal
Balance) is reduced to zero. Such reductions shall be deemed to be an allocation
of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses experienced by the Trust
Fund.
(b) If, following the distributions deemed to be made in respect of
the REMIC II Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.02(i) on any Distribution
Date, the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Assets that
will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date is less than
the aggregate of the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the respective REMIC
II Regular Interests, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II Regular
91
Interest B will be reduced until such deficit (or such Uncertificated Principal
Balance) is reduced to zero (whichever occurs first). If any portion of such
deficit remains at such time as the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II
Regular Interest B is reduced to zero, then the respective Uncertificated
Principal Balances of the remaining REMIC II Regular Interests shall be reduced,
pro rata in accordance with the relative sizes of the then respective
Uncertificated Principal Balances of such remaining REMIC II Regular Interests,
until such deficit (or each such Uncertificated Principal Balance) is reduced to
zero. Such reductions shall be deemed to be an allocation of the Realized Losses
and Additional Trust Fund Expenses experienced by the Trust Fund.
(c) On each Distribution Date, following the distributions deemed to
be made in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.02(j),
the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest shall be
reduced to equal the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Asset that
will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date. Such
reductions shall be deemed to be an allocation of the Realized Losses and
Additional Trust Fund Expenses experienced by the Trust Fund.
SECTION 4.05. Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.
In the event that any Mortgage Loan is the subject of a full or
partial Principal Prepayment prior to the Due Date for such Mortgage Loan in any
Collection Period and such full or partial Principal Prepayment is not
accompanied by a payment of interest on the amount thereof to such Due Date,
then, to the extent that such interest is not paid by the Mortgagor and
deposited in the Collection Account by the end of the Collection Period during
which such full or partial Principal Prepayment was made, the Master Servicer
shall deposit into the Collection Account, on or before the close of business on
the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date, out of its
own funds without any right of reimbursement, additional interest ("Compensating
Interest") in an amount equal to the resulting Prepayment Interest Shortfall.
Such payment of Compensating Interest shall be made regardless of whether the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage requires the payment of such interest or whether such
amount is recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds,
Condemnation Proceeds or otherwise; and the Master Servicer shall not be
entitled to any recovery or reimbursement from the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Trust Fund or the Certificateholders with respect to any payment of Compensating
Interest.
SECTION 4.06. Calculations.
The Trustee shall, provided it receives the necessary information
from the Master Servicer, be responsible for performing all calculations
necessary in connection with the actual and deemed distributions to be made
pursuant to Section 4.02 and Article X and the actual and deemed allocations of
losses and other shortfalls to be made pursuant to Section 4.04. The Trustee
shall calculate the Available Distribution Amount for each Distribution Date and
shall allocate such amount among Certificateholders in accordance with this
Agreement.
92
SECTION 4.07. Use of Agents.
Each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee may at its own expense
utilize agents or attorneys-in-fact in performing any of its respective
obligations under this Article IV, but no such utilization shall relieve the
Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, from any of such
obligations, and the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall
remain responsible for all acts and omissions of any such agent or
attorney-in-fact. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall
have all the limitations upon liability and all the indemnities for the actions
and omissions of any such agent or attorney-in-fact utilized thereby that it has
for its own actions hereunder pursuant to Article VII or VIII, as applicable,
hereof, and any such agent or attorney-in-fact shall have the benefit of all the
limitations upon liability and all the indemnities provided to the Master
Servicer under Section 7.03 or to the Trustee under Sections 9.01, 9.02 and
9.05, as the case may be.
93
ARTICLE V
ADVANCES
SECTION 5.01. Monthly Advances by the Master Servicer.
(a) Subject to the conditions of this Article V, the Master
Servicer, as required below, shall, with respect to each Distribution Date, make
Monthly Advances to the Collection Account maintained by the Trustee, in an
amount (calculated as of the related Determination Date) equal to the aggregate
of the following: (i) all Monthly Payments (after adjustment of the interest
portion of each such Monthly Payment to the related Mortgage Rate less the
applicable Servicing Fee Rate) that were due on the Mortgage Loans (other than
FHA Assigned Mortgage Loans) on their respective Due Dates during the related
Collection Period but that were not received on or before the related
Determination Date; (ii) with respect to each FHA Assigned Mortgage Loan as to
which all reasonably expected FHA Insurance Benefits had not been received as of
the related Determination Date, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A)
one month's interest on the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan
outstanding as of the related Determination Date (accrued at the lesser of (1)
the related Mortgage Rate less the applicable Servicing Fee Rate and (2) the
applicable FHA Debenture Rate less the applicable Servicing Fee Rate, and
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months),
over (B) any and all payments and other amounts received in respect of such
Mortgage Loan during the related Collection Period that represent previously
unadvanced interest (net of any portion thereof constituting Servicing Fees);
and (iii) with respect to each FHA Debenture as to which no Due Date occurred
during the related Collection Period, one month's interest on the Stated
Principal Balance of such FHA Debenture outstanding as of the related
Determination Date (accrued at the lesser of (1) the related Net Asset Rate plus
the Trustee Fee Rate and (2) the related FHA Debenture Rate less any applicable
Retained Yield Rate, and calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months).
(b) The Master Servicer shall be obligated to make any such Monthly
Advance only to the extent that such advance, in the reasonable and good faith
judgment of the Master Servicer would not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable
Advance. If the Master Servicer shall have determined that it is not obligated
to make the entire amount of any Monthly Advance because all or a lesser portion
of such Monthly Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, the
Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, not less than three Business Days
prior to the related Distribution Date, an Officers' Certificate setting forth
the reasons for such determination.
(c) In lieu of making all or a portion of the Monthly Advances for
any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer may utilize any such funds in the
Custodial Account that will constitute part of the Available Distribution Amount
for a future Distribution Date in discharge of its obligation to make any such
Monthly Advance and shall cause to be made in its records relating to the
Custodial Account an appropriate entry reflecting such use of funds. Any funds
so applied shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Custodial
Account no later than the Master Servicer Remittance Date for the applicable
future Distribution Date.
94
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Custodial
Account for all Monthly Advances of its own funds made pursuant to this Section
5.01 as and to the extent provided in Section 3.09.
SECTION 5.02. Monthly Advance Procedures.
(a) If, with respect to any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer
is required to make one or more Monthly Advances in accordance with Section
5.01, it shall make such Monthly Advances on or before 8 a.m., New York City
time, on the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date (the "Monthly
Advance Date"). The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee of the aggregate
amount of Monthly Advances for a Distribution Date on or before the third (but
in no event later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the second) Business Day
prior to such Distribution Date. Any such Monthly Advance shall be included with
the distribution to the Certificateholders on the related Distribution Date.
(b) In the event that the Master Servicer fails to make a Monthly
Advance required to be made pursuant to Section 5.01 on or before 3 p.m., New
York City time, on the Monthly Advance Date, the Trustee shall on or before 12
noon, New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day provide to the
Master Servicer, by telecopy, written notice of such failure and the amount of
such failure and that continuance of such failure as of 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the related Distribution Date will be an Event of Default.
(c) If the Trustee does not receive, or there is not deposited in
the Collection Account, on or before 12 noon, New York City time, on the related
Distribution Date, the full amount of all Monthly Advances, if any, required to
be made in respect of such Distribution Date, then the Trustee shall (except to
the extent that it determines that any such Monthly Advance would, if made, be a
Nonrecoverable Advance) make the portion of such Monthly Advances that was
required to be, but not, made by the Master Servicer.
(d) If the Trustee is required to make any Monthly Advance pursuant
to Section 5.02(c), the Master Servicer shall promptly (and in any event, by
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Distribution Date) reimburse the
Trustee for such Monthly Advance, at which time such Monthly Advance shall be
deemed to have been made by the Master Servicer; provided that, if the Master
Servicer shall not have so reimbursed the Trustee by 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the related Distribution Date, then without limiting the rights of the
Trustee or the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 8.02, the Trustee shall
terminate the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 8.02, in which case
such Monthly Advance shall be deemed to have been made by the Trustee in its
capacity as successor master servicer.
(e) In the event that the Master Servicer and the Trustee, in its
capacity as successor master servicer, have both made Advances which are
outstanding, repayment of the Advances made by the Trustee, in its capacity as
successor master servicer, shall have priority over repayment of the Advances
made by the Master Servicer.
95
SECTION 5.03. Servicing Advances.
The Master Servicer shall make Servicing Advances as provided in
this Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Master Servicer shall not make any particular Servicing Advance if and to
the extent that (i) the Master Servicer determines, in its good faith and
reasonable judgment, that such Servicing Advance would, if made, not be
specifically covered by the FHA Insurance Benefits with respect to the related
Mortgage Loan and (ii) the failure to make such Servicing Advance would not
adversely affect the ability to recover the full amount of FHA Insurance
Benefits in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and provided further that,
following the occurrence of an FHA Insurance Nonexistence Event, the Master
Servicer shall not be required to make any Servicing Advance that the Master
Servicer determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, would, if made,
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer will be entitled to be
reimbursed from the Custodial Account for Servicing Advances of its own funds
made pursuant to this Agreement pursuant to and subject to the limitations in
Section 3.09.
SECTION 5.04. Nonrecoverable Advances.
If the Master Servicer determines at any time that any Advance
previously made by it constitutes, or any proposed Advance, if made, would
constitute, a Nonrecoverable Advance, such determination shall be evidenced by
an Officer's Certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Trustee and the
Depositor by the third Business Day following the next succeeding Determination
Date, but in no event (in the case of a Monthly Advance) later than three
Business Days preceding the Distribution Date on which such Advance would
otherwise be paid to Holders of the Certificates. Such Officer's Certificate
shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the procedure and
considerations of the Master Servicer forming the basis of such determination
(which shall include, but not be limited to, an opinion of counsel with respect
to the occurrence of an FHA Insurance Nonexistence Event (in the case of a
Servicing Advance) and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, financial or
non-financial information such as related income and expense statements, rent
rolls, occupancy status, property inspections, Master Servicer inquiries, an
appraisal performed by an MAI appraiser in accordance with MAI standards and
methodologies (the cost of which appraisal, if done externally, to be
recoverable as a Servicing Advance, subject to the limitations in Section 3.09)
or notification of material environmental concern). The Master Servicer shall
withdraw funds from the Custodial Account pursuant to and subject to the
limitations in Section 3.09 to reimburse itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance
it has made.
If the Trustee determines at any time that any Monthly Advance
previously made by it constitutes, or any proposed Monthly Advance, if made,
would constitute, a Nonrecoverable Advance, such determination shall be
evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of a Responsible Officer delivered to the
Depositor no later than the Distribution Date on which such Monthly Advance
would otherwise be paid to Holders of the Certificates. If the Trustee
determines that a proposed Monthly Advance, if made, would constitute a
Nonrecoverable Advance despite the fact that the Master Servicer had not
previously made any such determination, such Officer's Certificate shall set
forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the procedure
and consider-
96
ations of the Trustee forming the basis of such determination (which shall
include, but not be limited to, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, an MAI
appraisal performed by a MAI appraiser in accordance with MAI standards and
methodologies (the cost of which appraisal, if done externally, to be
recoverable as a Servicing Advance, subject to the limitations in Section 3.09).
The Trustee, in determining whether or not a proposed Monthly Advance would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be subject to the standards for such a
determination which are applicable to the Master Servicer hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and unless the circumstances under
which such a determination was made have materially changed or the basis for
such a determination has been proven to be erroneous, the Trustee shall be
entitled to conclusively rely upon any determination by the Master Servicer that
an Advance previously made or proposed to be made constitutes a Nonrecoverable
Advance.
SECTION 5.05. Interest on Advances.
Prior to the date on which Advance Interest in an aggregate amount
equal to the Advance Interest Cap has accrued (whether or not previously paid),
any unreimbursed Advance funded from the Master Servicer's or the Trustee's own
funds shall accrue interest on a daily basis, at a per annum rate equal to the
Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, from the date such Advance was
made until the date on which such Advance has been reimbursed (or, if earlier,
until Advance Interest in an aggregate amount equal to the Advance Interest Cap
has accrued, whether or not previously paid). Advance Interest accrued in
respect of any Advance shall be payable to the Master Servicer or the Trustee,
subject to the Advance Interest Cap, out of general collections on the Mortgage
Pool at any time on or after the date such Advance is reimbursed to the Master
Servicer or the Trustee.
97
ARTICLE VI
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 6.01. The Certificates.
The Certificates shall be in substantially the forms set forth in
Exhibits X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0 and A-10 hereto, with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are
required or permitted by this Agreement or as may in the reasonable judgment of
the Trustee or the Depositor be necessary, appropriate or convenient to comply,
or facilitate compliance, with applicable laws, and may have such letters,
numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed
thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange
on which any of the Certificates may be listed, or as may, consistent herewith,
be determined by the officers executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their
execution thereof.
The definitive Certificates shall be printed, typewritten,
lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods or may
be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any securities
exchange on which any of the Certificates may be listed, all as determined by
the officers executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their execution
thereof.
Each of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-Z
Certificates will be issued in fully-registered form only in minimum initial
Certificate Principal Balances as of the Closing Date of $10,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Each of the Class S Certificates will be
issued in fully-registered form only in minimum initial Certificate Notional
Amounts as of the Closing Date of $100,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000
in excess thereof, except for one Class S Certificate evidencing the sum of an
authorized denomination thereof and the remainder of the Initial Class Notional
Amount of such Class of Certificates. Each of the Class B Certificates will be
issued in fully-registered form only in minimum initial Certificate Principal
Balances of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, except
that one Class B Certificate may be issued in an amount (whether greater or less
than the minimum denomination) such that the denomination of such Class B
Certificate and the aggregate denomination of all other outstanding Class B
Certificates equal the Initial Class Principal Balance of the Class B
Certificates. Each of the Residual Certificates will be issued in
fully-registered form only in minimum Percentage Interests of no less than 20%.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Trustee 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 Trustee shall bind
the Trustee, 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 there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate
of
98
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.
SECTION 6.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a
Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of
transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate, subject to the other subsections of
this Section 6.02, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates
of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing a like aggregate
Percentage Interest.
(b) At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee set forth in
Section 9.11. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the
Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing.
(c) No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for
any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(d) All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and
exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in
accordance with the Trustee's customary procedures.
(e) No transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate shall be made
unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act and effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that a transfer of any
Non-Registered Certificate (other than a transfer by the Depositor or any
Affiliate thereof) is to be made without registration under the Securities Act,
the Trustee shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws: (i) if
such transfer is purportedly being made based on Rule 144A, that the
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and such Certificateholder's
prospective Transferee each certify to the Trustee in writing, substantially in
the forms attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 and Exhibit D-2, respectively, the
facts surrounding the transfer; and (ii) in all other cases, that it and the
Depositor receive an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee
and the Depositor that such transfer may be made without such registration,
which
99
Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to be an expense of the Depositor, the
Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee is obligated to
register or qualify any Non-Registered Certificate under the Securities Act or
any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificate without registration or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of a Non-Registered
Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the
Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so
exempt, or is not made in accordance with federal and state laws.
(f) No transfer of a Subordinate Certificate or any interest therein
shall be made to any Plan, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates or interests therein
with "plan assets" of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor
regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. ss.2510.3-101, unless the prospective
Transferee provides the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer with
either (i) an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer to the effect
that the purchase of Subordinate Certificates or interests therein is
permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in any
prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not
subject the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer to any obligation or
liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master
Servicer or the Trust Fund or (ii) in lieu of such Opinion of Counsel, a
certification in the form of Exhibit E to this Agreement, on which the Trustee,
the Depositor and the Master Servicer may rely upon without further inquiry or
investigation.
(g) Additional restrictions on transfers of the Residual
Certificates to Disqualified Organizations are set forth below:
(i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition
of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following
provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee or its designee
under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than
such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause
(iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all
other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of
each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are
expressly subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be other than a
Disqualified Organization and shall promptly notify the Trustee of
any change or impending change in its status as other than a
Disqualified Organization.
(B) In connection with any proposed transfer of any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to a U.S. Person, the
Trustee shall require
100
delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of a Residual
Certificate until its receipt of (1) an affidavit and agreement (a
"Transferee Affidavit and Agreement") from the proposed Transferee,
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1,
representing and warranting, among other things, that it is not a
non-U.S. Person, that such Transferee is other than a Disqualified
Organization, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as
a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not other than a
Disqualified Organization, that for so long as it retains its
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to
remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the
provisions of this Section 6.02(g) and agrees to be bound by them,
and (2) a certificate from the Holder wishing to transfer a Residual
Certificate, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
F-2, representing and warranting, among other things, that no
purpose of the proposed Transfer is to allow such Holder to impede
the assessment or collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee
Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B)
above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge
that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to such
proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate agrees, by holding or acquiring
such Ownership Interest, (1) to require a Transferee Affidavit and
Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to
Transfer its Ownership Interest and to provide to the Trustee a
certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
F-2, and (2) to obtain the express written consent of the Depositor
prior to any Transfer of such Ownership Interest, which consent may
be withheld in the Depositor's sole discretion.
(ii) The Trustee shall register the Transfer of any Residual
Certificate only if it shall have received the Transferee Affidavit and
Agreement, a certificate of the Holder effecting such Transfer
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2 and all of such
other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trustee as a
condition to such registration.
(iii) (A) If any Disqualified Organization shall become a
Holder of a Residual Certificate, then the last preceding Holder
that was other than a Disqualified Organization shall be restored,
to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such
transfer of such Residual Certificate. If any non-U.S. Person shall
become a Holder of a Residual Certificate, then the last preceding
Holder that is a U.S. Person shall be restored, to the extent
permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of the transfer
101
to such non-U.S. Person of such Residual Certificate. If a transfer
of a Residual Certificate is disregarded pursuant to the provisions
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3, then
the last preceding Holder that was other than a Disqualified
Organization shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to
all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date
of registration of such transfer of such Residual Certificate. The
Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact
not permitted by this Section 6.02(g) or for making any payments due
on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this
Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee of a Residual
Certificate shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the restrictions in this Section 6.02(g) and to the
extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder
of such Residual Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above
shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Trustee shall
have the right, without notice to the Holder or any prior Holder of
such Residual Certificate, to sell such Residual Certificate to a
purchaser selected by the Trustee on such terms as the Trustee may
choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver
a Residual Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the
Trustee. Such purchaser may be the Trustee itself or any affiliate
of the Trustee. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions
(which may include commissions payable to the Trustee or its
affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, shall be remitted by
the Trustee to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions
of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the
sole discretion of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be liable
to any Person having an Ownership Interest or a purported Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of
such discretion.
(iv) The Trustee shall make available all information
reasonably available to it that is necessary to compute any tax imposed
(A) as a result of the transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including
the information regarding "excess inclusions" of such Residual Certificate
required to be provided to the Internal Revenue Service and certain
Persons as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.860D-1(b)(5), and
(B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate
investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or
organizations described in Section 1381 of the Code having as among its
record holders at any time any Person who is a Disqualified Organization.
Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be required by
the Trustee from such Person.
(v) The provisions of this Section 6.02(g) set forth prior to
this Section (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated by the Trustee,
provided that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee the
following:
102
(A) written notification from the Rating Agency to the
effect that the modification, addition to or elimination of such
provisions will not cause the Rating Agency to downgrade any of its
then-current ratings of the Rated Certificates; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be an
expense of the Person requesting such modification, addition or
elimination), in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, to
the effect that such modification, addition to or elimination of
such provisions will not cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III
to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not create a risk that (1)
any such REMIC may be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the
transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person which is a
Disqualified Organization or (2) a Certificateholder or another
Person will be subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the transfer
of the applicable Residual Certificate to a Person which is a
Disqualified Organization.
(h) The Trustee shall have no liability to the Trust Fund arising
from a transfer of any Certificate in reliance upon a certification, ruling or
Opinion of Counsel described in this Section 6.02; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall not register the transfer of any Residual Certificate if it has
actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee does not meet the qualifications
of a permitted Holder of a Residual Certificate as set forth in this Section
6.02.
(i) In order to preserve the exemption for resales and transfers
provided by Rule 144A, the Depositor shall provide (and the Master Servicer and
the Trustee shall use their reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Depositor
in providing) to any Holder of a Non-Registered Certificate and any prospective
purchaser designated by such Holder, upon request of such Holder or such
prospective purchaser, such information required by Rule 144A as will enable the
resale of such Certificate to be made pursuant to Rule 144A. However, the
Depositor shall not be required to provide with respect to any Certificate more
information than is required by Rule 144A as of the date such Certificate is
issued but may elect to do so if necessary under subsequent revisions of Rule
144A. In addition, the Depositor may from time to time modify the foregoing
restrictions on resale and other transfers, without the consent but upon notice
to the Holders of the Certificates, in order to reflect any amendment to Rule
144A or change in the interpretation thereof or practices thereunder if the
Depositor shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
amendment or supplement is necessary or appropriate.
SECTION 6.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or
the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Master Servicer and
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each
of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
103
Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and interest in the Trust
Fund. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section
6.03, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any
other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 6.03
shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust
Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 6.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentment of a Certificate for registration of
transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, or the Trustee may treat the person in whose
name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the
purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, or the Trustee shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 6.05. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses.
(a) If three or more Certificateholders (i) request in writing from
the Trustee a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders, (ii) state
that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders
with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and
(iii) provide a copy of the communication which such Certificateholders propose
to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt
of such request, afford such Certificateholders access during normal business
hours to a current list of the Certificateholders. The expense of providing any
such information requested by a Certificateholder shall be borne by the
Certificateholders requesting such information and shall not be borne by the
Trustee or the Trust Fund. Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a
Certificate, agrees that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of
the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders
hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
(b) The Master Servicer, so long as it is the master servicer
hereunder, and the Depositor shall have unlimited access to a list of the names
and addresses of the Certificateholders, which list shall be provided by the
Trustee promptly upon the request of the Master Servicer.
SECTION 6.06. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
In addition to its Corporate Trust Office, the Trustee will maintain
or cause to be maintained at its expense a presenting office in New York, New
York where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the
Certificates and this Agreement may be served. The Trustee initially designates
IBJ Xxxxxxxxx Trust Bank, Stock Transfer Department, Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx
000
Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, for such purpose. The Trustee will give prompt written
notice to the Certificateholders of any change in the location of any such
office or agency.
SECTION 6.07. Book-Entry Certificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon original issuance, each Class of
Book-Entry Certificates shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten
Certificates representing such Certificates, to be held by DTC or any successor
Clearing Agency or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as provided below,
the Book-Entry Custodian. Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates shall initially
be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee
of DTC, as the initial Clearing Agency, and no Beneficial Holder will receive a
definitive certificate representing such Beneficial Holder's interest in the
Book-Entry Certificates, except as provided in Section 6.09. The Trustee is
hereby initially appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act
as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has
with DTC authorizing it to act as such. Unless and until definitive, fully
registered Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") have been issued to the
Beneficial Holders pursuant to Section 6.09:
(a) the provisions of this Section 6.07 shall be in full force
and effect with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates;
(b) the Depositor may deal with the Book-Entry Custodian and
the Clearing Agency for all purposes with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates (including the making of distributions on such Certificates);
(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 6.07
conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of
this Section 6.07 shall control; and
(d) the rights of the Beneficial Holders of the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the
Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and
agreements between such Beneficial Holders and the Clearing Agency and/or
the Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until
Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 6.09, the initial
Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Participants and
receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the
related Certificates to such Participants.
For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or
permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Holders of the
Book-Entry Certificates entitled to a specified percentage of the aggregate
Voting Rights allocated to such Certificates, such direction or consent may be
given by the Clearing Agency at the direction of Beneficial Holders owning such
Certificates entitled to the requisite aggregate percentage of Voting Rights
allocated to such Certificates. The Clearing Agency may take conflicting actions
with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates to the extent that such actions are
taken on behalf of the Beneficial Holders.
105
SECTION 6.08. Notices to Clearing Agency.
Whenever notice or other communication to the Holders of the
Book-Entry Certificates is required under this Agreement, unless and until
Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related Beneficial Holders
pursuant to Section 6.09, the Trustee shall give all such notices and
communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Book-Entry
Certificates to the Clearing Agency which shall give such notices and
communications to the related Participants in accordance with its applicable
rules, regulations and procedures.
SECTION 6.09. Definitive Certificates.
If (a) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the
Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities under the Depository Agreement with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates and the Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified
successor, (b) the Depositor, at its option, advises the Trustee in writing that
it elects to terminate the book-entry system with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of an Event
of Default, Beneficial Owners of Book-Entry Certificates entitled to a majority
of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of the Book-Entry Certificates
advise the Clearing Agency through its Participants in writing (and the Clearing
Agency in turn advises the Trustee) that the continuation of a book-entry system
with respect to such Certificates through the Clearing Agency is no longer in
the best interests of the Beneficial Holders of such Certificates, the Trustee
shall notify all Holders of such Certificates of the occurrence of any such
event and the availability of Definitive Certificates. Upon surrender to the
Trustee of such Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver the Definitive Certificates in respect thereof. Neither
the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, all references
herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency
shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent
applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee shall
recognize the Holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.

ARTICLE VII
THE DEPOSITOR, EACH SELLER AND THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 7.01. Liabilities of the Depositor, each Seller and the
Master Servicer.
The Depositor, Greystone Funding, Daiwa Finance and the Master
Servicer shall each be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically and respectively imposed upon and undertaken by them
herein.
SECTION 7.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor, each
Seller or the Master Servicer.
The Depositor, Greystone Funding, Daiwa Finance and the Master
Servicer will each do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and
keep in full force and effect its existence, rights and franchises (charter and
statutory) and will each obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as
a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or
shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement,
or any of the Mortgage Assets and to perform its respective duties under this
Agreement.
Any Person into which the Depositor, Greystone Funding, Daiwa
Finance or the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person
resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor, Greystone
Funding, Daiwa Finance or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Depositor, Greystone Funding, Daiwa Finance or
the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor, Greystone Funding,
Daiwa Finance or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided,
however, that the successor or surviving Person to the Master Servicer shall be
an FHA-Approved Mortgagee.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 7.02 or in Section
7.04 hereof to the contrary, the Master Servicer may assign its rights and
delegate its duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer gives the Depositor and the Trustee notice of such
assignment; and provided further, that such purchaser or transferee accepting
such assignment and delegation shall be an institution that is an FHA-Approved
Mortgagee in good standing, which has a net worth of at least $5,000,000, and
which is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and executes and delivers to the
Depositor, Greystone Funding, Daiwa Finance and the Trustee an agreement
accepting such delegation and assignment, which contains an assumption by such
Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and
liabilities of the Master Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a
party to this Agreement; and provided further, that the Rating Agency
acknowledges that its ratings of the Rated Certificates in effect immediately
prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified, withdrawn or
reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation. In the case of any such
assignment and delegation, the Master Servicer shall be released from its
obligations under this Agreement,
107
except that the Master Servicer shall remain liable for all liabilities and
obligations incurred by it as Master Servicer hereunder prior to the
satisfaction of the conditions to such assignment and delegation set forth in
the preceding sentence.
SECTION 7.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and Others.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be
under any liability to the Certificateholders for any action taken or for
refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Depositor or the Master Servicer against any breach of
representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor or the
Master Servicer or any such person from any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Master 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 and, in the
case of any questions arising with respect to the REMIC status of any of REMIC
I, REMIC II or REMIC III, on an Opinion of Counsel from Independent Counsel with
substantial experience in such matters. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and
any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Master Servicer
shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss,
liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to
this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of a breach of any representations, warranties or covenants
of any such party hereto or by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor the
Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any legal action that is not incidental to their respective duties hereunder and
which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided,
however, that each of the Depositor and the Master Servicer may in its
discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in
respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and
interests of the Trustee and the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event,
the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the
Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor out of the Custodial Account.
SECTION 7.04. Master Servicer Not to Resign.
The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
imposed upon it hereunder except upon determination that such obligations and
duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer under this
Section 7.04 shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect
delivered to the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall give notice of any proposed
resignation to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders and the Rating
Agency. No such resignation
108
by the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor
servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities and
obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 hereof.
SECTION 7.05. Errors and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity Bonds.
The Master Servicer shall maintain with responsible companies, and
at its own expense, a fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy
with broad coverage on all officers, employees or other persons acting in any
capacity enabling such persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers
relating to the Mortgage Loans ("Master Servicer Employees"). Any such fidelity
bond and errors and omissions insurance shall be in the form of the Banker's
Blanket Bond and shall protect and insure the Master Servicer against losses,
including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions and
negligent acts of such Master Servicer Employees. The Master Servicer is
self-insured for losses in connection with the release or satisfaction of a
Mortgage Loan without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness
secured thereby by Master Servicer Employees. No provision of this Section 7.05
requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish
or relieve the Master Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in
this Agreement. The minimum amount of coverage under any such bond and insurance
policy shall be $1,000,000. Upon request of any Certificateholder, the Master
Servicer shall cause to be delivered to such Certificateholder a certified true
copy of such fidelity bond and insurance policy and a statement from the surety
and the insurer that such fidelity bond and insurance policy shall in no event
be terminated without 15 days' prior written notice to the Trustee.
SECTION 7.06. Depositor, each Seller and Master Servicer May Own
Certificates.
Each of the Depositor, Greystone Funding, Daiwa Finance and the
Master Servicer in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not the
Depositor, a Seller or the Master Servicer.
109
ARTICLE VIII
DEFAULT
SECTION 8.01. Events of Default.
"Event of Default", wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events (whatever reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall
be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to
any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of
any administrative or governmental body):
(a) any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit in the
Collection Account or the Custodial Account, or to remit to the Trustee
for deposit in the Collection Account, any deposit or payment required to
be so made by the Master Servicer under the terms of this Agreement, which
failure shall continue unremedied for a period of one Business Day (or, in
the case of a failure to make a Monthly Advance required to be made
pursuant to Section 5.01, shall continue through the end of the cure
period specified in Section 5.02(b)); or
(b) any failure by the Master Servicer to observe or perform
in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the
part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement (except as set
forth in (c) below) which failure (i) materially affects the rights of the
Certificateholders and (ii) shall continue unremedied for a period of 60
days (except that such number of days shall be 15 in the case of a failure
to pay the premium for any FHA Mortgage Insurance or Required Insurance
Policy in respect of any Mortgage Loan) after the date on which written
notice of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the
Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the
Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of
the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or
(c) if a representation or warranty set forth in Section
2.04(a) hereof shall prove to be materially incorrect as of the time made
in any respect that materially and adversely affects interests of the
Certificateholders, and the circumstances or condition in respect of which
such representation or warranty was incorrect shall not have been
eliminated or cured within 120 days after the date on which written notice
thereof shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders or by the Depositor; or
(d) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of
debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for
the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered
against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained
in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
110
(e) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of
debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or
relating to the Master Servicer or all or substantially all of the
property of the Master Servicer; or
(f) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability
to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
advantage of, or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable
insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit
of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(g) the Master Servicer shall fail to purchase any FHA
Debenture as required in Section 3.15; or
(h) the Rating Agency shall provide written notice of its
intention to reduce, withdraw or qualify any of the then-current ratings
of the Rated Certificates because the existing or prospective financial
condition or mortgage loan servicing capability of the Master Servicer is
insufficient to maintain such outstanding rating; or
(i) the Master Servicer shall cease to be duly qualified as an
FHA-Approved Mortgagee with power and authority to service the Mortgage
Loans and make claims on the FHA under any FHA Mortgage Insurance as
contemplated herein.
If an Event of Default due to the actions or inaction of the Master
Servicer shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such
Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and (i) in the
case of an Event of Default described in clause (a) above, if so directed by the
Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the Voting Rights
allocated to any Class of REMIC III Regular Certificates, (ii) in the case of an
Event of Default described in either clause (b) or clause (c) above, if so
directed by the Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 51% of all the
Voting Rights, and (iii) in the case of any other Event of Default, under all
circumstances, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer
(with a copy to the Depositor and the Rating Agency), terminate all of the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement (other than
rights to reimbursement for Advances previously made, as provided in Section
3.09). On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice,
all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested
in the Trustee, as acting master servicer, pursuant to and under this Section
and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and
to do or accomplish all other acts or things, necessary or appropriate to effect
such termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment
of the Mortgage Assets and related documents, or otherwise. In the event it is
terminated under this Section, the Master Servicer agrees that it shall be
subject to the duties and obligations set forth in Section 8.02.
111
SECTION 8.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof or resigns pursuant to Section 7.04
hereof, the Trustee shall be the successor master servicer in all respects to
the Master Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and with
respect to the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall
thereafter be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no responsibilities,
duties, liabilities or obligations with respect to any act or omission of the
Master Servicer incurred prior to its resignation or termination. The Trustee,
as acting or successor master servicer, shall be indemnified to the full extent
provided the Master Servicer under this Agreement prior to the Master Servicer's
termination. The Trustee, as acting or successor master servicer, or any other
successor master servicer, as applicable, shall succeed to any rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement and shall
be deemed to have assumed the Master Servicer's interest therein, subject to
Section 3.05; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be
relieved of any liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement
arising prior to the date of such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any
successor master servicer shall be responsible for any of the representations
and warranties of the terminated Master Servicer herein or in any related
document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the terminated Master
Servicer or for any losses incurred in respect of any Permitted Investments
selected by the terminated Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. The
Trustee shall not be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder. The
Master Servicer agrees to promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business
Days subsequent to the notice of termination or resignation) provide, at its own
expense, the Trustee with all documents and records requested hereunder, and to
cooperate hereunder in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and
rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor
master servicer or to the Trustee, as applicable, for administration by it of
all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the
Master Servicer to the Custodial Account or any Escrow Account or Reserve
Account or should thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Assets,
and shall promptly provide the Trustee or such successor master servicer, as
applicable, all documents and records reasonably requested by it, such documents
to be provided in such form as the Trustee or such successor master servicer
shall reasonably request (including electronic form), to enable it to assume the
Master Servicer's functions hereunder. The terminated Master Servicer shall
reimburse the assuming party for any reasonable expenses incurred by the
assuming party in connection with the assumption of the duties and obligations
of the Master Servicer hereunder. If the Master Servicer does not reimburse the
assuming party for such expenses within a reasonable time, such expenses shall
be reimbursed from the Trust Fund. As compensation for being successor master
servicer, such successor master servicer shall be entitled to all funds relating
to the Mortgage Loans that the Master Servicer would have been entitled to
receive from the Custodial Account if the Master Servicer had continued to act
hereunder (except that the terminated Master Servicer shall retain the right to
be reimbursed for Advances (including, without limitation, Monthly Advances)
theretofore made by the Master Servicer with respect to which it would be
entitled to be reimbursed if it had not been so terminated as Master Servicer).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the
Master Servicer in accordance with this
112
Section 8.02, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if
it is unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to appoint, any FHA-Approved Mortgagee with a net worth of at least $15,000,000,
the appointment of which does not adversely affect any of the then-current
ratings of the Rated Certificates, as the successor to the Master Servicer
hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of the Master Servicer. Pending appointment of a successor to the
Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law
from so acting, shall act in such capacity as provided herein. In connection
with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for
the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and
such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall
be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and
such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall
be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any
other successor servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of
any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any
portion thereof caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any
delay in delivering, cash, documents or records in any form to it.
Any successor to the Master Servicer as servicer shall during the
term of its service as servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that
the Master Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 7.05 hereof.
SECTION 8.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Master
Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register and to the Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders and the Rating Agency
notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such
Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
SECTION 8.04. Other Remedies of Trustee.
During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such
Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the
rights specified in Section 8.01, shall have the right, in its own name as
trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at
law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect
the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders
(including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and
other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). In such event, the legal fees, expenses and costs of such action and
any liability resulting therefrom, to the extent that any such fees, expenses
and costs were not recovered by the Trustee as a result of such action, shall be
expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Trustee shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in
Section 4.01(d). Except as otherwise expressly provided in
113
this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of
any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition
to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy
shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any
Event of Default.
114
ARTICLE IX
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 9.01. Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and
after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, undertakes
with respect to the Trust Fund to perform such duties and only such duties as
are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default has
occurred and remains uncured and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge thereof, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs. Any permissive right
of the Trustee set forth in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that the
Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such
resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other
instrument provided to it hereunder by the Master Servicer. If any such
instrument is found not to conform on its face to the requirements of this
Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take action as it deems
appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not
corrected to the Trustee's reasonable satisfaction, the Trustee will provide
notice thereof to the Certificateholders.
The Trustee may conclusively rely on information provided in any
resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other
instrument so furnished to it, and the Trustee shall not be responsible to
recompute, recalculate or verify the information provided in any such
resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other
instrument so furnished to it, in any event unless such information is erroneous
on its face, the Trustee has actual knowledge that such information is erroneous
or, in the case of recomputing, recalculating or verifying any such information,
the Trustee is requested to do so by the Depositor or a Certificateholder.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own misconduct, its negligent failure to perform its obligations
in compliance with this Agreement, or any liability which would be imposed by
reason of its willful misfeasance or bad faith; provided, however, that:
(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, and after the
curing or waiver of all such Events of Default that may have occurred, the
duties and obligations of the
115
Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Agreement, the Trustee shall not be personally 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 Trustee may conclusively rely,
as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions
expressed therein, upon any certificates, resolutions, reports,
statements, documents, orders, opinions or other instruments furnished to
the Trustee and conforming on their face to the requirements of this
Agreement which it reasonably believed in good faith to be genuine and to
have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters
arising hereunder, without responsibility for investigating the contents
thereof;
(b) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee unless the Trustee was negligent or acted in bad
faith or with willful misfeasance;
(c) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to
any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates entitled to not
less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement; and
(d) except as provided in Section 3.15 or as otherwise
specifically provided in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement
shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall
have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.
None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any
event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of
performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, except (a) the obligation of the Trustee to make Monthly Advances
pursuant to Section 5.02 and (b) during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall
be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and
privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. The Trustee shall not be required to post any surety or bond of any
kind in connection with its performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
Except with respect to an Event of Default described in clause (a)
of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event
of Default or event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would become
an Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
received written notice thereof from the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the
Rating Agency or a Certificateholder, or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
has actual notice thereof, and in the absence of such notice no provision hereof
requiring the taking of any action or the assumption of any duties or
responsibility by the Trustee following the occurrence
116
of any Event of Default or event which, with notice or
lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall be effective as
to the Trustee.
SECTION 9.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01:
(i) the Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and
the Trustee shall have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the
genuineness of any such party or parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of
Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect
of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith
and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the
request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall
have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the
obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been
cured or waived) of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge, to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of such person's own affairs;
(iv) none of the Trustee, any of its Affiliates, or any
officer, director, employee or agent of the Trustee or any of its
Affiliates 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 an Event of Default hereunder
and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or
matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other
paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by Holders of
Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated
to each Class of Certificates; provided, however, that if the payment
within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the
117
costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making
of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably
assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this
Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such
expense or liability as a condition to taking any such action; the
reasonable expense of every such investigation shall be paid by the Master
Servicer in the event that such investigation relates to an Event of
Default by the Master Servicer, if an Event of Default by the Master
Servicer shall have occurred and is continuing, and otherwise by the
Certificateholders requesting the investigation;
(vi) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys;
(vii) except as provided in Section 3.15 or as otherwise
specifically provided in this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be required
to expend its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder if it shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such liability is not assured to it; and
(viii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any
investment of funds pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the
Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by it without the
possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or
other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all
the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage
Loans.
Except as specifically set forth in Section 9.11 and the
acknowledgements of the Trustee set forth in Section 2.02, the recitals
contained herein, in the Mortgage Asset Purchase Agreements, in the Certificates
(other than its signature and authentication) and in the Prospectus, the
Prospectus Supplement or the Private Placement Memorandum (other than
information provided by the Trustee specifically for inclusion therein) shall be
taken as the statements of the Depositor, Greystone Funding, Daiwa Finance or
the Master Servicer, as the case may be, as such statements are attributed to
Greystone Funding, Daiwa Finance or the Master Servicer by the Mortgage Asset
Purchase Agreements, the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their
correctness, and the Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement, the Certificates or of any Mortgage Asset, FHA
Mortgage Insurance Contract or related documents. Without limiting the
obligation of the Trustee to act hereunder in respect of an Event of Default on
the part of the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall not be liable for any act or
omission of the Master Servicer except to the extent the Trustee is acting in
such capacity. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application
by the Depositor, Greystone Funding, Daiwa Finance or the Master Servicer of any
funds paid to the Depositor, Greystone Funding, Daiwa Finance or the Master
Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Assets or deposited in or withdrawn from the
118
Collection Account by the Depositor, Greystone Funding, Daiwa Finance or the
Master Servicer. The Trustee assumes no liability for or with respect to the
perfection or priority of the security interest in any Mortgage Asset or the
maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the
sufficiency of the Trust Fund or its ability to generate the payments to be
distributed to Certificateholders under this Agreement (other than its failure
to perform its duties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).
SECTION 9.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it
were not the Trustee.
SECTION 9.05. Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
The Trustee shall pay to itself on each Distribution Date from
amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, an amount equal to the Trustee Fee
for such Distribution Date and, to the extent not previously paid, for all prior
Distribution Dates.
The Trustee shall reimburse itself from amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable expenses and
disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) as
set forth in Section 4.01 to the extent such payments are "unanticipated
expenses incurred by the REMIC" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860G-1(b)(ii), and provided that the subject expense, disbursement or
advance was not incurred or made as a result of a breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant on the part of the Trustee or by reason of willful
misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee's
duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of the Trustee's obligations
and duties hereunder, and the subject expense, disbursement or advance was not
specifically required to be borne by the Trustee hereunder. The Trustee shall
pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its routine activities
hereunder.
The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any
claim, damage, penalty, fine, loss, liability or expense (including any
attorney's fees and expenses): (a) incurred in connection with any legal action
relating to this Agreement or the Certificates or the performance of any of the
Trustee's duties hereunder (other than any loss, liability or expense incurred
as a result of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant on the part
of the Trustee, or by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in
the performance of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder, or by reason of
reckless disregard of the Trustee's obligations and duties hereunder and other
than expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with its routine activities
hereunder and expenses specifically required to be borne by the Trustee
hereunder); and (b) resulting from the exercise of any power of attorney granted
by the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement. Such indemnity shall survive
the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee
hereunder.
119
SECTION 9.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or
association having its principal office in a state and city acceptable to the
Depositor and organized and doing business under the laws of such state or the
United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers, having a rating on its long-term unsecured debt obligations at least
equal to "AA-" from the Rating Agency or such lower rating as will not cause the
Rating Agency to reduce, withdraw or qualify its then-current ratings of the
Rated Certificates, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority, and that is an FHA-Approved Mortgagee. If such corporation or
association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section 9.06 the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 9.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.07 hereof.
SECTION 9.07. Resignation and Removal of Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by (a) giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor and
by mailing notice of resignation by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the
Certificateholders at their addresses appearing on the Certificate Register, and
to the Rating Agency, not less than 60 days before the date specified in such
notice when, subject to Section 9.08, such resignation is to take effect, and
(b) acceptance by such successor trustee in accordance with Section 9.08 meeting
the qualifications set forth in Section 9.06. If no successor trustee shall have
been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving
of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 9.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after
written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the
Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. The Trustee may also be removed
at any time by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 50% of the
Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates. Notice of any removal of the
Trustee and acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee shall be given to
the Rating Agency.
120
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor thereto pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.07 shall
become effective upon acceptance of such appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 9.08 hereof.
SECTION 9.08. Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 9.07 hereof
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor
trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and
such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee
herein. The Depositor and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required (including,
without limitation, by HUD) for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming
in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 9.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06 hereof and its appointment
shall not adversely affect the then-current rating of any Class of the Rated
Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 9.08, the Master Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of
such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as
shown in the Certificate Register. If the Master Servicer fails to mail such
notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee,
the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Master Servicer.
SECTION 9.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding
to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided that such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06
hereof, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part
of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 9.10. 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 Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the
time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have
the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with
the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust Fund, and
121
to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of
the applicable Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part
thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.10, such powers,
duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee
may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have
joined in such appointment within fifteen days after the receipt by it of a
request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 9.06 and no notice to
Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
shall be required under Section 9.08, except that, to the extent necessary to
keep in full force and effect the FHA Mortgage Insurance in respect of any
Mortgage Loan, such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be an FHA-Approved
Mortgagee.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(a) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee, except for any obligation of the Trustee under
this Agreement to make a required Advance in the event the Master Servicer
fails to make such Advance, 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 by the Trustee
(whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer), the
Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts,
in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the
holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate
trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(b) no trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(c) the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly may at
any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or
co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article IX. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of
the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in
its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as
may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to,
122
the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy
thereof given to the Master Servicer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
The Trust Fund shall pay the reasonable compensation of the
co-trustees or separate trustees appointed pursuant to this Section 9.10.
SECTION 9.11. Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.
The Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor and for
the benefit of the Certificateholders, as of the date hereof, that:
(i) The Trustee is a nationally chartered bank duly organized,
validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the United States
and has full power, authority and legal right to own its properties and
conduct its business as presently conducted and to execute, deliver and
perform the terms of the Agreement.
(ii) The Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Trustee and, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivering by the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and
binding instrument enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors' rights in general and by general equity principles
(regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law).
(iii) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by
the Trustee nor the consummation by the Trustee of the transactions herein
contemplated to be performed by the Trustee, nor compliance by the Trustee
with the provisions hereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of,
or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of any applicable law
(subject to the appointment in accordance with such applicable law of any
co-trustee or separate trustee required pursuant to this Agreement),
governmental rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on the
Trustee or its properties or the organizational documents of the Trustee
or the terms of any material agreement, instrument or indenture to which
the Trustee is a party or by which it is bound.
(iv) The Trustee is duly qualified as an FHA-Approved
Mortgagee and, if the Trustee becomes the successor master servicer
pursuant to Section 8.02, the Trustee will comply with the provisions of
the Housing Act, as amended from time to time, and
123
all regulations issued thereunder in order that the Certificateholders'
rights under the FHA Mortgage Insurance will be fully protected.
SECTION 9.12. Certain Reports by the Trustee.
Based upon the various reports, documents and other information
provided to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee shall file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, in respect of the Trust and the
Certificates, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and
other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the
Securities and Exchange Commission may from time to time by rules and
regulations prescribe) required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
SECTION 9.13. Non-assignment of Putable Mortgage Loans.
The Trustee, as the FHA-Approved Mortgagee of the Mortgage Loans,
shall not at any time assign any Putable Mortgage Loans to the FHA.
124
ARTICLE X
TERMINATION
SECTION 10.01. Termination upon Liquidation or Repurchase of all
Mortgage Loans.
The obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Depositor, Greystone Funding, Daiwa Finance and the Trustee with respect to the
Trust Fund created hereby (other than the obligation to make certain payments
and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as hereinafter set forth)
shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Trustee with
respect to the earliest of:
(a) the purchase by the Master Servicer, at its election, of
all the Mortgage Assets remaining in the Trust Fund and the corresponding
distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be
distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement (the applicable
Distribution Date being herein referred to as the "Optional Termination
Date"), which repurchase right the Master Servicer may exercise at its
sole and exclusive election if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Pool at the time of the repurchase is less than 5% of the
aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Pool;
(b) the maturity or other liquidation (or any advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Asset remaining in the Trust Fund
and the corresponding distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts
required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement; and
(c) the mutual agreement of the parties hereto and the
Certificateholders as to such termination;
provided that, in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the
expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Xx. Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, former Ambassador of the United States to Great Britain,
living on the date of execution of this Agreement.
The purchase price for any such Optional Termination of the Trust
Fund (the "Termination Price") shall be equal to (A) the aggregate of the
Purchase Prices of all the Mortgage Assets remaining in the Trust Fund, minus
(B) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances made by the Master Servicer,
together with any related unpaid Advance Interest and any unpaid Servicing Fees,
remaining outstanding (which items shall be deemed to have been paid or
reimbursed to the Master Servicer in connection with the Optional Termination).
The Termination Price shall be calculated by the Master Servicer and the Trustee
as of the last Business Day in the Collection Period for the Optional
Termination Date and as if the purchase was to occur on such Business Day. The
Trustee shall give notice to the Rating Agency of the
125
Master Servicer's election to purchase the Mortgage Assets remaining in the
Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 10.01 and of the Optional Termination Date.
SECTION 10.02. Procedure Upon Optional Termination.
(a) In case of any Optional Termination pursuant to Section 10.01,
the Master Servicer shall, at least thirty days prior to the date notice is to
be mailed to the affected Certificateholders notify the Trustee of the Optional
Termination Date and of the applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans to
be repurchased.
(b) Any repurchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Master Servicer
shall be made on the Master Servicer Remittance Date in the same month as the
Optional Termination Date by deposit of the Termination Price into the Custodial
Account. Upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate of the Master
Servicer certifying as to the deposit of such Termination Price into the
Custodial Account, the Trustee and each co-trustee and separate trustee, if any,
then acting as such under this Agreement, shall, upon request and at the expense
of the Master Servicer, execute and deliver all such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be reasonably requested by
the Master Servicer, to vest title in the Master Servicer to the Mortgage Assets
so repurchased and shall transfer or deliver to the Master Servicer the
purchased Mortgage Assets. Any collections on the Mortgage Assets received by
the Trustee subsequent to (or with respect to any period subsequent to)
calculation of the Termination Price shall be promptly remitted by it to the
Master Servicer.
(c) Notice of the Distribution Date on which the Master Servicer
anticipates that the final distribution shall be made (whether upon Optional
Termination or otherwise), shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee and by the Trustee by first class mail to Holders of the affected
Certificates. Such notice shall be mailed as soon as practicable. Such notice
shall specify (i) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the
affected Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of such
Certificates at the office or agency therein designated, (ii) the amount of such
final distribution and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, such distribution being made only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency
maintained for such purposes (the address of which shall be set forth in such
notice).
(d) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute
to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates such
Certificateholder's Percentage Interest of that portion of the amounts then on
deposit in the Collection Account that are allocable in accordance with Sections
4.02(a) and 4.02(b) to payments on the Class of Certificates to which such
Certificates being so presented and surrendered belong.
(e) In the event that any Certificateholders shall not surrender
Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the
above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice
to the remaining such Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
126
six months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may
appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain subject to
the Trust Fund.
SECTION 10.03. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option
pursuant to Section 10.01, the REMICs created hereby shall be terminated in
accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of any of the
REMICs to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.03 will not (i) result
in the imposition of taxes on a "prohibited transaction" of any of the REMICs
created hereby as described in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any of
the REMICs created hereby to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding:
(i) the Trustee shall specify the first day in the 90-day
liquidation period in a statement attached to the final Tax Return for
each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III pursuant to Treasury regulation
Section 1.860F-1 and shall satisfy all requirements of a qualified
liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder
as such requirements are set forth in an Opinion of Counsel delivered to
the Trustee by and at the expense of the Master Servicer;
(ii) during such 90-day liquidation period and at or prior to the
time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall
sell or otherwise dispose of all of the assets of REMIC I to the Master
Servicer for cash; and
(iii) immediately following the making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
distributed or credited, to the Holders of the applicable Class of
Residual Certificates all cash on hand (other than cash retained to meet
claims), and each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III shall terminate at
that time.
(b) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby
agree to authorize the Trustee to adopt a plan of complete liquidation of each
of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III in accordance with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor
Certificateholders.

received on or with respect to Mortgage Assets are required to be distributed
with respect to any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such

without the consent of all of the Certificateholders or (iv) alter the servicing

substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to
such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
128

SECTION 11.05. Severability of Provisions.
If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms
of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the
remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall
in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this
Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.
SECTION 11.06. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate
to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or
winding up of the Trust Fund, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and
liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management
of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything
herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so
as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members
of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any
third party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing
itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement,
unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice
of a default hereunder and of the continuance thereof, as provided herein, and
(except in the case of any such default on the part of the Trustee) unless the
Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the Voting Rights
evidenced by the Certificates shall also 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
130
thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request
and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such
action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or
themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek
to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any
right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the
common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of
the provisions of this Section 11.06, each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.
SECTION 11.07. Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid.
It is the intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall
not be personally liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests
in the Trust Fund represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any
reason whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by
the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed fully paid.
SECTION 11.08. HUD Regulations and Documents Control.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or of the
Certificates, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this
Agreement or of the Certificates on the one hand and the provisions of the
Housing Act, the applicable FHA Regulations, the Mortgages, Mortgage Notes or
any other HUD-prescribed document relating to the Mortgage Loans on the other
hand, the provisions of the latter shall control.
SECTION 11.09. Miscellaneous REMIC Provisions.
(a) The Trustee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
act as agent, and is hereby appointed to act as agent, of the Trust Fund, and
shall elect to treat each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III as a REMIC under
the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. Each such election will
be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal or state Tax Returns for the
taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued.
(b) The REMIC I Regular Interests are hereby designated as "regular
interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code), and the Class
R-I Certificates are hereby designated as the single class of "residual
interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code), in REMIC I.
The REMIC II Regular Interests are hereby designated as "regular interests"
(within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code), and the Class R-II
Certificates are hereby designated as the single class of "residual interests"
(within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code), in REMIC II. The
Sequential Pay Certificates and the Class S REMIC III Regular Interests are
hereby designated as "regular interests" (within the meaning of Section
131
860G(a)(1) of the Code), and the Class R-III Certificates are hereby designated
as the single class of "residual interests" (within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(2) of the Code), in REMIC III. No party hereto shall, to the extent
within the control of any such Person, create or permit the creation of any
other "interests" in REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III (within the meaning of
Treasury regulation Section 1.860D-1(b)(1)).
(c) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of
each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9)
of the Code.
(d) The Trustee shall pay any and all expenses relating to any tax
audit of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III (including, but not limited to, any
professional fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect
thereto that involved the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities),
including the expense of obtaining any tax-related Opinion of Counsel in
connection with such an audit and other taxes; provided, however, that if such
audit resulted from the negligence of the Master Servicer or the Depositor, then
the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, shall pay such
expenses. The Certificateholder with the largest Percentage Interest of the
related Class of Residual Certificates shall be designated as the tax matters
person with respect to each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III in the manner
provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) and Temporary Treasury
Regulations Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1T. The tax matters person of each REMIC
created hereunder hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Trustee to act
as its attorney-in-fact and agent to perform the duties of the tax matters
person with respect to such REMIC. The Trustee, as attorney-in-fact and agent of
the tax matters person of each REMIC created hereunder, shall (i) act on behalf
of such REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving such REMIC
and (ii) represent such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceeding
relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with
respect thereto. To the extent authorized under the Code and the regulations
promulgated thereunder, each Holder of a Residual Certificate, hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Trustee to be its attorney-in-fact for
purposes of signing any Tax Returns required to be filed on behalf of REMIC I,
REMIC II or REMIC III, as the case may be. The legal expenses and costs of any
such action described in this subsection and any liability resulting therefrom
shall be borne by the Trust Fund or other appropriate Person in accordance with
Section 11.09(h).
(e) The Trustee shall prepare, file and sign all of the Tax Returns
in respect of each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III. The expenses of preparing
and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of
reimbursement therefor.
(f) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of each of REMIC I, REMIC II
and REMIC III all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the
responsibility of each such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other
compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local
taxing authority. Included among such duties, the Trustee shall provide to: (i)
any Transferror of a Residual Certificate, such information as is necessary for
the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to
any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee; (ii) the Certificateholders, such
information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions,
including, without limitation, reports
132
relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium
(using the Prepayment Assumption as required); and (iii) the Internal Revenue
Service, the name, title, address and telephone number of the Person who will
serve as the representative of each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III.
(g) The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause each of REMIC
I, REMIC II and REMIC III to take such action as shall be necessary to create
the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (and the Master
Servicer shall assist it, to the extent reasonably requested by it). Each of the
Trustee and the Master Servicer shall exercise reasonable care to the extent
within its control and the scope of its express duties under this Agreement, to
maintain the status of each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III as a REMIC.
Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall take any action, cause REMIC
I, REMIC II or REMIC III 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 result in an Adverse REMIC Event in respect of any of
REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that the contemplated action will not result in an Adverse
REMIC Event. None of the other parties hereto shall take or fail to take any
action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has advised
it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an
Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. In addition, prior
to taking any action with respect to REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III or the
assets of any of them, or causing REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to take any
action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, each
of the other parties hereto will consult with the Trustee, in writing, with
respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur, and
no such other party shall take any such action or cause REMIC I, REMIC II or
REMIC III to take any such action as to which the Trustee has advised it in
writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee may consult with
counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the
party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement.
(h) In the event that any tax is imposed on REMIC I, REMIC II or
REMIC III, including, without limitation, "prohibited transactions" taxes as
defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, any tax on "net income from
foreclosure property" as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, any taxes on
contributions to REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III after the Startup Day pursuant
to Section 860G(d) of the Code, and any other tax imposed by the Code or any
applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax, together with all
incidental costs and expenses (including, without limitation, penalties or
assessments and reasonable attorneys' fees) not required to be borne by the
Trustee pursuant to Section 11.09(d), shall be charged to and paid by: (i) the
Trustee, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of
any of its obligations under this Article XI; (ii) the Master Servicer, if such
tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its
obligations under Article III or this Article XI; (iii) the Depositor, if such
tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Depositor of any of its
obligations under this Article XI; or (iv) the Trust Fund in all other
instances. Any such amounts payable by the Trust Fund in respect of taxes shall
be paid by the Master Servicer at the direction of the Trustee out of amounts on
deposit in the Custodial Account or by the Trustee out of amounts on deposit in
the Collection Account. The Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall
133
retain or cause to be retained from available funds sufficient funds to pay or
provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is legally owed by
the Trust Fund. Such authorization (i) shall not prevent the Trustee from
contesting any such tax in appropriate law pending the outcome of such
proceedings and (ii) is subject to Section 11.09(n) and Section 11.09(o). The
costs of contesting any such tax shall be an expense of the Trust Fund unless
indemnification for such a tax is provided for hereunder.
(i) The Trustee and, to the extent that records are maintained
thereby in the normal course of its business, each of the other parties hereto
shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect
to each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III on a calendar year and on an accrual
basis.
(j) Following the Startup Day therefor, the Trustee shall not accept
any contributions of assets to REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III unless it shall
have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to
cause such contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in such
REMIC will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event in respect of such REMIC.
(k) Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall consent to or,
to the extent of their respective control, permit: (i) the sale or disposition
of any Mortgage Asset (except in connection with (A) a breach of any
representation or warranty of the related Seller regarding a Mortgage Asset, (B)
the foreclosure, default or imminent default of a Mortgage Loan, including but
not limited to, an assignment to HUD or the sale or other disposition of a
Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (C) the bankruptcy
of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, or (D) the termination of the Trust Fund
pursuant to Article X of this Agreement); (ii) the sale or disposition of any
investments in the Custodial Account or the Collection Account for gain; or
(iii) the acquisition of any assets for the Trust Fund (other than a Mortgaged
Property acquired through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise
in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan and other than Permitted Investments
acquired in connection with the investment of funds in the Custodial Account or
the Collection Account); in any event unless it has received an Opinion of
Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, or
acquisition) to the effect that such sale, disposition, or acquisition will not
cause: (x) REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding or (y) the imposition of any tax on
REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable
provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(l) Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall enter into any
arrangement by which REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III will receive a fee or other
compensation for services or, to the extent it is within the control of such
Person, permit REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to receive any income from assets
other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or
"permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code. At all
times as may be required by the Code, the Trustee shall ensure that
substantially all of the assets of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III will consist
of "qualified
134
mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted
investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(m) The Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the
Trustee, within ten days after the Closing Date, all information or data that
the Trustee reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the
valuations and issue prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation,
the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flow of the
Certificates. The Master Servicer shall furnish such reports, certifications and
information, and access to such books and records maintained thereby, as may
relate to the Certificates or the Trust Fund and as shall be reasonably
requested by the Trustee in order to enable it to perform its duties hereunder.
(n) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor
and the Master Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without limitation,
any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the
Depositor or the Master Servicer, as a result of a breach by the Trustee with
respect to the covenants set forth in this Section 11.09. All such amounts paid
by the Trustee to indemnify the Trust Fund shall be deposited by the Trustee
into the Collection Account. The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust
Fund, the Depositor and the Trustee for any taxes and costs (including, without
limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees) imposed on or incurred by the Trust
Fund, the Depositor or the Trustee, as a result of a breach of the Master
Servicer's covenants set forth in this Section 11.09 or in Article III with
respect to compliance with the REMIC Provisions. All such amounts paid by the
Master Servicer to indemnify the Trust Fund shall be delivered to the Trustee
and deposited by the Trustee into the Collection Account.
(o) The Depositor agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Trustee
and the Master Servicer for any taxes and costs (including, without limitation,
any reasonable attorney's fees) imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the
Trustee or the Master Servicer as a result of a breach of the Depositor's
covenants set forth in this Section 11.09 or Article III with respect to
compliance with the REMIC Provisions. All such amounts paid by the Depositor to
indemnify the Trust Fund shall be delivered to the Trustee and deposited by the
Trustee into the Collection Account.

certification in the form attached to the Agreement as Exhibit E or an Opinion
of Counsel which establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of the Depositor and
the Trustee that the purchase and holding of this Certificate or any interest
herein by or on behalf of such employee benefit plan would not result in the
assets of the Trust Fund being deemed "plan assets" and subject to the fiduciary
responsibility provisions of ERISA or the prohibited transaction provisions of
the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), would not
constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, and would not subject the Depositor or the Trustee to
any obligation or liability (including liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement or any other
liability. If no such certification in the form attached to the Agreement as
Exhibit E and no such Opinion of Counsel are so delivered, the Trustee shall
require that such prospective Transferee certify to the Trustee in writing the
facts establishing that such Transferee is not such an employee benefit plan.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer
is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities
laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or
qualification. In the event that a transfer of this Certificate is to be made
without registration under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall require, in
order to assure compliance with such laws: (i) if such transfer is purportedly
being made based on Rule 144A, that the Certificateholder desiring to effect the
transfer and the prospective Transferee each certify to the Trustee in writing
in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit D-1 and Exhibit D-2,
respectively, the facts surrounding the transfer; and (ii) in all other cases,
that it and the Depositor receive an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer may be made without such
registration, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor,
the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee is
obligated to register or qualify this Certificate under the Securities Act or
any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of this Certificate without registration or
qualification. Any Holder hereof desiring to effect a transfer hereof shall
indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that
A-6-5
may result if the transfer is not so exempt, or is not made in accordance with
federal and state laws.
The Class B Certificates will be issued in fully registered form in
minimum denominations of $250,000 initial Certificate Principal Balance and in

denominations and evidencing a like aggregate Certificate Principal Balance, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

or exchanges, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover

Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the
Trustee nor any such agent thereof shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Servicer, the Sellers and the Trustee created by the Agreement will terminate
upon the earliest of (i) the purchase by the Master Servicer, at its election,
of all the Mortgage Assets remaining in the Trust Fund and the corresponding
distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of certificates of
American Southwest Financial Securities Corporation, designated as its
Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1996-FHA1 (the
"Certificates"), which is comprised of the following ten classes (each, a
"Class"): the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-Z, Class S,
Class B, Class R-I, Class R-II and Class R-III Certificates. Reference is hereby
made to the Agreement for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the
Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Holders of each
Class of the Certificates and the terms upon which the Certificates are
authenticated and delivered. This Certificate represents an interest in the
Trust Fund, which Trust Fund consists of, among other things, (i) the Mortgage
Assets and all payments under and proceeds of such Mortgage Assets (other than
any Retained Yield) received after the Cut-off Date (exclusive of any payments
of or relating to principal and interest due on the FHA Loans on or before the
Cut-off Date), together with all documents included in the related Mortgage
Files and Servicing Files for the Mortgage Loans; (ii) the FHA Mortgage
Insurance in respect of the Mortgage Loans, together with all FHA Insurance
Benefits (other than any Retained Yield) derived therefrom; (iii) such funds or
assets (other than any Retained Yield) as from time to time are deposited in the
Distribution Account and/or the Collection Account; (iv) any insurance policies
with respect to the Mortgage Loans; and (v) all proceeds of the conversion,
voluntary or involuntary, of any of the foregoing into cash or other liquid
property.
The Trustee shall distribute from the Distribution Account, to the extent
of available funds, on the 25th day of each calendar month or, if such 25th day
is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following such 25th day
(each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing in January, 1997, to the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last
Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution
(each, a "Record Date"), a distribution in an amount equal to the product of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (as set forth above) and that
portion of the Available Distribution Amount, if any, that is allocated to
distributions on the related Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Not later than each Distribution Date, the Trustee will send to each
Certificateholder a statement containing information relating to the Mortgage
Assets and payments made to Certificateholders.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check
mailed to the address of the Holder hereof entitled thereto as such address
appears in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final
distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice
A-7-3
of the pendency of such final distribution and only upon presentation and
surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency designated in such notice.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Seller and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to, in the
aggregate, not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights of all the Certificates
affected by any such amendments, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Agreement or
for the purpose of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the
Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any
manner the amount of, delay the timing of or change the manner in which payments
received on Mortgage Assets are required to be distributed in respect of any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate; (ii) reduce
the aforesaid percentage of aggregate Voting Rights allocated to Certificates of
each Class, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to 100% of the
Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates affected thereby, (iii)
modify the provisions of this Section 11.01 of the Agreement without the consent
of all of the Certificateholders or (iv) alter the servicing standard set forth
in Section 3.01(a) of the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. Under certain limited circumstances set
forth therein, the Agreement may be amended by the parties thereto without the
consent of any Holder.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable on the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
office or agency of the Trustee designated therefor, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate interest in
the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein shall be made to
any employee benefit plan that is subject to ERISA or the Code, or a trustee of
such plan, unless the prospective Transferee provides the Trustee with a
certification in the form attached to the Agreement as Exhibit E or an Opinion
of Counsel which establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of the Depositor and
the Trustee that the purchase and holding of this Certificate or any interest
herein by or on behalf of such employee benefit plan would not result in the
assets of the Trust Fund being deemed "plan assets" and subject to the fiduciary
responsibility provisions of ERISA or the prohibited transaction provisions of
the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), would not
constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, and would not subject the Depositor or the Trustee to
any obligation or liability (including liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement or any other
liability. If no such certification in the form
A-7-4
attached to the Agreement as Exhibit E and no such Opinion of Counsel are so
delivered, the Trustee shall require that such prospective Transferee certify to
the Trustee in writing the facts establishing that such Transferee is not such
an employee benefit plan.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and
effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws,
or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or
qualification. In the event that a transfer of this Certificate is to be made
without registration under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall require, in
order to assure compliance with such laws: (i) if such transfer is purportedly
being made based on Rule 144A, that the Certificateholder desiring to effect the
transfer and the prospective Transferee each certify to the Trustee in writing
in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit D-1 and Exhibit D-2,
respectively, the facts surrounding the transfer; and (ii) in all other cases,
that it and the Depositor receive an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer may be made without such
registration, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor,
the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee is
obligated to register or qualify this Certificate under the Securities Act or
any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of this Certificate without registration or
qualification. Any Holder hereof desiring to effect a transfer hereof shall
indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if
the transfer is not so exempt, or is not made in accordance with federal and
state laws.
In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in the Agreement, this Certificate may not be owned, pledged
or Transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to a Disqualified Organization.
Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any Transfer, sale or
other disposition of this Certificate, (i) the proposed Transferee, including
the initial Holder of this Certificate, shall deliver to the Trustee a
Transferee Affidavit and Agreement, in substantially the form attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit F-1, representing and warranting, among other things, that
such Transferee is not a non-U.S. Person, that such Transferee is other than a
Disqualified Organization, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in
this Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not other
than a Disqualified Organization, that for so long as it retains its Ownership
Interest in this Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee,
and that it has reviewed the provisions of Section 6.02(g) of the Agreement and
agrees to be bound by them, and (ii) the proposed Transferor shall deliver to
the Trustee a certificate, in substantially the form attached to the Agreement
as Exhibit F-2, representing and warranting, among other things, that no purpose
of the proposed Transfer is to allow such Holder to impede the assessment or
collection of tax. Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit and
Agreement, if the Trustee has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is
not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in this
Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected. Each Person holding
or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate agrees, by holding or
acquiring such Ownership Interest, to require a Transferee Affidavit and
Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its
A-7-5
Ownership Interest and to provide a certificate in the form attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit F-2 and to obtain the express written consent of the
Depositor prior to any Transfer of such Ownership Interest, which consent may be
withheld in the Depositor's sole discretion.
The Class R-I Certificates will be issued in fully registered form only,
without coupons, in minimum denominations representing percentage interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more
new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing a
like aggregate Certificate Principal Balance, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for such registrations of transfers or
exchanges, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Trustee
and any agent of the Trustee may treat the person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee nor
any such agent thereof shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Sellers and the Trustee created by the Agreement will terminate
upon the earliest of (i) the purchase by the Master Servicer, at its election,
of all the Mortgage Assets remaining in the Trust Fund and the corresponding
distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to
them, which repurchase right the Master Servicer may exercise at its sole and
exclusive election if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Pool at the time of the repurchase is less than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date
Balance of the Mortgage Pool; (ii) the maturity or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Asset remaining in the Trust
Fund and the corresponding distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts
required to be distributed to them; or (iii) the mutual agreement of the parties
to the Agreement and the Certificateholders as to such termination.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on
behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose.

No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein shall be made to
any employee benefit plan that is subject to ERISA or the Code, or a trustee of

of Counsel which establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of the Depositor and
the Trustee that the purchase and holding of this Certificate or any interest
herein by or on behalf of such employee benefit plan would not result in the
assets of the Trust Fund being deemed "plan assets" and subject to the fiduciary
responsibility provisions of ERISA or the prohibited transaction provisions of
the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), would not

delivered, the Trustee shall require that such prospective Transferee certify to
the Trustee in writing the facts establishing that such Transferee is not such
an employee benefit plan.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made

that it and the Depositor receive an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer may be made without such
registration, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor,
the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee is
obligated to register or qualify this Certificate under the Securities Act or
any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of this Certificate without registration or
qualification. Any Holder hereof desiring to effect a transfer hereof shall
indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if
the transfer is not so exempt, or is not made in accordance with federal and
state laws.
In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in the Agreement, this Certificate may not be owned, pledged
or Transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to a Disqualified Organization.
Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any Transfer, sale or
other disposition of this Certificate, (i) the proposed Transferee, including
the initial Holder of this Certificate, shall deliver to the Trustee a
Transferee Affidavit and Agreement, in substantially the form attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit F-1, representing and warranting, among other things, that
such Transferee is not a non-U.S. Person, that such Transferee is other than a
Disqualified Organization, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in
this Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not other
than a Disqualified Organization, that for so long as it retains its Ownership
Interest in this Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee,
and that it has reviewed the provisions of Section 6.02(g) of the Agreement and
agrees to be bound by them, and (ii) the proposed Transferor shall deliver to
the Trustee a certificate, in substantially the form attached to the Agreement
as Exhibit F-2, representing and warranting, among other things, that no purpose
of the proposed Transfer is to allow such Holder to impede the assessment or
collection of tax. Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit and
Agreement, if the Trustee has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is
not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in this
Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected. Each Person holding
or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate agrees, by holding or
acquiring such Ownership Interest, to require a Transferee Affidavit and
Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its
A-7-13
Ownership Interest and to provide a certificate in the form attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit F-2 and to obtain the express written consent of the
Depositor prior to any Transfer of such Ownership Interest, which consent may be
withheld in the Depositor's sole discretion.
The Class R-II Certificates will be issued in fully registered form only,
without coupons, in minimum denominations representing percentage interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more
new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing a
like aggregate Certificate Principal Balance, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for such registrations of transfers or
exchanges, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Trustee
and any agent of the Trustee may treat the person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee nor
any such agent thereof shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Sellers and the Trustee created by the Agreement will terminate
upon the earliest of (i) the purchase by the Master Servicer, at its election,
of all the Mortgage Assets remaining in the Trust Fund and the corresponding
distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to
them, which repurchase right the Master Servicer may exercise at its sole and
exclusive election if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Pool at the time of the repurchase is less than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date
Balance of the Mortgage Pool; (ii) the maturity or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Asset remaining in the Trust
Fund and the corresponding distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts
required to be distributed to them; or (iii) the mutual agreement of the parties
to the Agreement and the Certificateholders as to such termination.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on
behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose.

"Trustee," which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement). This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Any term used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the meaning
assigned in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with
that meaning. If the terms hereof are inconsistent with the Agreement, the
Agreement shall control.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of certificates of
American Southwest Financial Securities Corporation, designated as its
Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1996-FHA1 (the
"Certificates"), which is comprised of the following ten classes (each, a
"Class"): the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-Z, Class S,
Class B, Class R-I, Class R-II and Class R-III Certificates. Reference is hereby
made to the Agreement for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the
Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Holders of each
Class of the Certificates and the terms upon which the Certificates are
authenticated and delivered. This Certificate represents an interest in the
Trust Fund, which Trust Fund consists of, among other things, (i) the Mortgage
Assets and all payments under and proceeds of such Mortgage Assets (other than
any Retained Yield) received after the Cut-off Date (exclusive of any payments
of or relating to principal and interest due on the FHA Loans on or before the
Cut-off Date), together with all documents included in the related Mortgage
Files and Servicing Files for the Mortgage Loans; (ii) the FHA Mortgage
Insurance in respect of the Mortgage Loans, together with all FHA Insurance
Benefits (other than any Retained Yield) derived therefrom; (iii) such funds or
assets (other than any Retained Yield) as from time to time are deposited in the
Distribution Account and/or the Collection Account; (iv) any insurance policies
with respect to the Mortgage Loans; and (v) all proceeds of the conversion,
voluntary or involuntary, of any of the foregoing into cash or other liquid
property.
The Trustee shall distribute from the Distribution Account, to the extent
of available funds, on the 25th day of each calendar month or, if such 25th day
is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following such 25th day
(each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing in January, 1997, to the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last
Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution
(each, a "Record Date"), a distribution in an amount equal to the product of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (as set forth above) and that
portion of the Available Distribution Amount, if any, that is allocated to
distributions on the related Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Not later than each Distribution Date, the Trustee will send to each
Certificateholder a statement containing information relating to the Mortgage
Assets and payments made to Certificateholders.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check
mailed to the address of the Holder hereof entitled thereto as such address
appears in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final
distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice of the pendency
of such final distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this
Certificate at the office or agency designated in such notice.
A-7-19
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Seller and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to, in the
aggregate, not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights of all the Certificates
affected by any such amendments, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Agreement or
for the purpose of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the
Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment may (i) reduce in any
manner the amount of, delay the timing of or change the manner in which payments
received on Mortgage Assets are required to be distributed in respect of any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate; (ii) reduce
the aforesaid percentage of aggregate Voting Rights allocated to Certificates of
each Class, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to 100% of the
Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates affected thereby, (iii)
modify the provisions of this Section 11.01 of the Agreement without the consent
of all of the Certificateholders or (iv) alter the servicing standard set forth
in Section 3.01(a) of the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. Under certain limited circumstances set
forth therein, the Agreement may be amended by the parties thereto without the
consent of any Holder.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable on the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
office or agency of the Trustee designated therefor, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate interest in
the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein shall be made to
any employee benefit plan that is subject to ERISA or the Code, or a trustee of
such plan, unless the prospective Transferee provides the Trustee with a
certification in the form attached to the Agreement as Exhibit E or an Opinion
of Counsel which establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of the Depositor and
the Trustee that the purchase and holding of this Certificate or any interest
herein by or on behalf of such employee benefit plan would not result in the
assets of the Trust Fund being deemed "plan assets" and subject to the fiduciary
responsibility provisions of ERISA or the prohibited transaction provisions of
the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), would not
constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, and would not subject the Depositor or the Trustee to
any obligation or liability (including liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement or any other
liability. If no such certification in the form attached to the Agreement as
Exhibit E and no such Opinion of Counsel are so delivered, the Trustee shall
require that such prospective Transferee certify to the Trustee in writing the
facts establishing that such Transferee is not such an employee benefit plan.
A-7-20
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and
effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws,
or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or
qualification. In the event that a transfer of this Certificate is to be made
without registration under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall require, in
order to assure compliance with such laws: (i) if such transfer is purportedly
being made based on Rule 144A, that the Certificateholder desiring to effect the
transfer and the prospective Transferee each certify to the Trustee in writing
in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit D-1 and Exhibit D-2,
respectively, the facts surrounding the transfer; and (ii) in all other cases,
that it and the Depositor receive an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer may be made without such
registration, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor,
the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee is
obligated to register or qualify this Certificate under the Securities Act or
any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of this Certificate without registration or
qualification. Any Holder hereof desiring to effect a transfer hereof shall
indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if
the transfer is not so exempt, or is not made in accordance with federal and
state laws.
In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in the Agreement, this Certificate may not be owned, pledged
or Transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to a Disqualified Organization.
Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any Transfer, sale or
other disposition of this Certificate, (i) the proposed Transferee, including
the initial Holder of this Certificate, shall deliver to the Trustee a
Transferee Affidavit and Agreement, in substantially the form attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit F-1, representing and warranting, among other things, that
such Transferee is not a non-U.S. Person, that such Transferee is other than a
Disqualified Organization, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in
this Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not other
than a Disqualified Organization, that for so long as it retains its Ownership
Interest in this Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee,
and that it has reviewed the provisions of Section 6.02(g) of the Agreement and
agrees to be bound by them, and (ii) the proposed Transferor shall deliver to
the Trustee a certificate, in substantially the form attached to the Agreement
as Exhibit F-2, representing and warranting, among other things, that no purpose
of the proposed Transfer is to allow such Holder to impede the assessment or
collection of tax. Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit and
Agreement, if the Trustee has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is
not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in this
Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected. Each Person holding
or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate agrees, by holding or
acquiring such Ownership Interest, to require a Transferee Affidavit and
Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its
Ownership Interest and to provide a certificate in the form attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit F-2 and to obtain the express written consent of the
Depositor prior to any Transfer of such Ownership Interest, which consent may be
withheld in the Depositor's sole discretion.
A-7-21
The Class R-III Certificates will be issued in fully registered form only,
without coupons, in minimum denominations representing percentage interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or more
new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing a
like aggregate Certificate Principal Balance, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for such registrations of transfers or
exchanges, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Trustee
and any agent of the Trustee may treat the person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee nor
any such agent thereof shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Sellers and the Trustee created by the Agreement will terminate
upon the earliest of (i) the purchase by the Master Servicer, at its election,
of all the Mortgage Assets remaining in the Trust Fund and the corresponding
distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to
them, which repurchase right the Master Servicer may exercise at its sole and
exclusive election if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Pool at the time of the repurchase is less than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date
Balance of the Mortgage Pool; (ii) the maturity or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Asset remaining in the Trust
Fund and the corresponding distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts
required to be distributed to them; or (iii) the mutual agreement of the parties
to the Agreement and the Certificateholders as to such termination.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on
behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose.

QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER STATUS UNDER SEC RULE 144A
[For Transferees Other Than Registered Investment Companies]
The undersigned hereby certifies as follows to [name of Transferor]
(the "Transferor"), [name of Trustee], as Trustee, and American Southwest
Financial Securities Corporation, as Depositor, with respect to the commercial
mortgage pass-through certificate (the "Certificate") described in the
Transferee Certificate to which this certification relates and to which this
certification is an Annex:
1. As indicated below, the undersigned is the chief financial
officer, a person fulfilling an equivalent function, or other executive officer
of the entity purchasing the Certificate (the "Transferee").
2. The Transferee is a "qualified institutional buyer" as that term
is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Rule 144A") because
(i) the Transferee owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis
$______________________(1) in securities (other than the excluded securities
referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee's most recent fiscal year
(such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A) and (ii) the
Transferee satisfies the criteria in the category marked below.
___ Corporation, etc. The Transferee is a corporation (other than a
bank, savings and loan association or similar institution),
Massachusetts or similar business trust, partnership, or any
organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986.
___ Bank. The Transferee (a) is a national bank or a banking
institution organized under the laws of any State, U.S. territory
or the District of Columbia, the business of which is
substantially confined to banking and is supervised by the State
or territorial banking commission or similar official or is a
foreign bank or equivalent institution, and (b) has an audited net
worth of at least $25,000,000 as demonstrated in its latest annual
financial statements, a copy of which is attached hereto, as of a
date not more than 16 months preceding the date of sale of the
Certificate in the case of a U.S. bank, and not more than 18
months preceding such date of sale for a foreign bank or
equivalent institution.
--------
(1) Transferee must own and/or invest on a discretionary basis at least
$100,000,000 in securities unless Transferee is a dealer, and, in that case,
Transferee must own and/or invest on a discretionary basis at least $10,000,000
in securities.
___ Savings and Loan. The Transferee (a) is a savings and loan
association, building and loan association, cooperative bank,
homestead association or similar institution, which is supervised
and examined by a State or Federal authority having supervision
over any such institutions, or is a foreign savings and loan
association or equivalent institution and (b) has an audited net
worth of at least $25,000,000 as demonstrated in its latest annual
financial statements, a copy of which is attached hereto, as of a
date not more than 16 months preceding the date of sale of the
Certificate in the case of a U.S. savings and loan association,
and not more than 18 months preceding such date of sale for a
foreign savings and loan association or equivalent institution.
___ Broker-dealer. The Transferee is a dealer registered pursuant to
Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
___ Insurance Company. The Transferee is an insurance company whose
primary and predominant business activity is the writing of
insurance or the reinsuring of risks underwritten by insurance
companies and which is subject to supervision by the insurance
commissioner or a similar official or agency of a State, U.S.
territory or the District of Columbia.
___ State or Local Plan. The Transferee is a plan established and
maintained by a State, its political subdivisions, or any agency
or instrumentality of the State or its political subdivisions,
for the benefit of its employees.
___ ERISA Plan. The Transferee is an employee benefit plan within the
meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974.
___ Investment Adviser. The Transferee is an investment advisor
registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
___ Other. (Please supply a brief description of the entity and a
cross-reference to the paragraph and subparagraph under subsection
(a)(1) of Rule 144A pursuant to which it qualifies. Note that
registered investment companies should complete Annex 2 rather
than this Annex 1.)
3. The term "securities" as used herein does not include (i)
securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee, (ii) securities
that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Transferee, if
the Transferee is a dealer, (iii) bank deposit notes and certificates of
deposit, (iv) loan participations, (v) repurchase agreements, (vi) securities
owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (vii) currency, interest rate
and commodity swaps. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of
securities owned and/or invested on a
2
discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee did not include any of the
securities referred to in this paragraph.
4. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities
owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee
used the cost of such securities to the Transferee, unless the Transferee
reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of
their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those
securities has been published, in which case the securities were valued at
market. Further, in determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have
included securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such
subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the
investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee's direction.
However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a
majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee
is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
5. The Transferee acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A
and understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the Certificate
are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one
or more sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule 144A.
___ ___ Will the Transferee be purchasing the Certificate
Yes No only for the Transferee's own account?
6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no", then in each
case where the Transferee is purchasing for an account other than its own, such
account belongs to a third party that is itself a "qualified institutional
buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A, and the "qualified institutional buyer"
status of such third party has been established by the Transferee through one or
more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A.
7. The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this
certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.
Until such notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the Certificate will
constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such
purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and loan as
provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties any
updated annual financial statements that become available on or before the date
of such purchase, promptly after they become available.

144A under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Rule 144A") because the Transferee is
part of a Family of Investment Companies (as defined below), is an executive
officer of the investment adviser (the "Adviser").
2. The Transferee is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined in
Rule 144A because (i) the Transferee is an investment company registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, and (ii) as marked below, the Transferee
alone owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis, or the Transferee's Family
of Investment Companies owned, at least $100,000,000 in securities (other than
the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee's
most recent fiscal year. For purposes of determining the amount of securities
owned by the Transferee or the Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, the
cost of such securities was used, unless the Transferee or any member of the
Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, as the case may be, reports its
securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market
value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities
has been published, in which case the securities of such entity were valued at
market.
____ The Transferee owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis
$___________________ in securities (other than the excluded
securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee's
most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in
accordance with Rule 144A).
____ The Transferee is part of a Family of Investment Companies which
owned in the aggregate $______________ in securities (other than
the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the
Transferee's most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated
in accordance with Rule 144A).
3. The term "Family of Investment Companies" as used herein means
two or more registered investment companies (or series thereof) that have the
same investment adviser
or investment advisers that are affiliated (by virtue of being majority owned
subsidiaries of the same parent or because one investment adviser is a majority
owned subsidiary of the other).
4. The term "securities" as used herein does not include (i)
securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee or are part of the
Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, (ii) bank deposit notes and
certificates of deposit, (iii) loan participations, (iv) repurchase agreements,
(v) securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (vi) currency,
interest rate and commodity swaps. For purposes of determining the aggregate
amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the
Transferee, or owned by the Transferee's Family of Investment Companies, the
securities referred to in this paragraph were excluded.
5. The Transferee is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that
the parties to which this certification is being made are relying and will
continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more sales to the
Transferee will be in reliance on Rule 144A.
____ ____ Will the Transferee be purchasing the Certificate
Yes No only for the Transferee's own account?
6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no", then in each
case where the Transferee is purchasing for an account other than its own, such
account belongs to a third party that is itself a "qualified institutional
buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A, and the "qualified institutional buyer"
status of such third party has been established by the Transferee through one or
more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A.
2
7. The undersigned will notify the parties to which this
certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.
Until such notice, the Transferee's purchase of the Certificate will constitute
a reaffirmation of this certification by the undersigned as of the date of such
purchase.

: ss.:
COUNTY OF )
[NAME OF OFFICER], being first duly sworn, deposes and says:
1. That he is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Transferee], a [savings
institution] [corporation] duly organized and existing under the laws of [the
State of ______________] [the United States] (the "Transferee"), which entity is
acquiring record or beneficial ownership of the American Southwest Financial
Securities Corporation Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
1996-FHA1, Class R-[I], [Class R-II and Class R-III] (the "Residual
Certificates") on behalf of which he makes this affidavit and agreement.
2. That the Transferee (i) is not and will not be a "disqualified
organization" as of [date of transfer] within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), (ii) will
endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee for so long as it retains its
ownership interest in the Residual Certificate, and (iii) is acquiring the
Residual Certificates for its own account or for the account of another person
from which it has received an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same
form as this affidavit and agreement. A "Permitted Transferee" is any person
other than a "disqualified organization". (For this purpose, a "disqualified
organization" means the United States, any state or political subdivision
thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an
instrumentality all of the activities of which are subject to tax and, except
for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of
directors is not selected by any such governmental entity) or any foreign
government, international organization or any agency or instrumentality of such
foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative,
or any organization (other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally
exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on
unrelated business taxable income).
3. That the Transferee is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed
on transfers of Residual Certificates to disqualified organizations under the
Code; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor, or, if such transfer is
through an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a
"disqualified organization", on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise
liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee
furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee is a Permitted
Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual
knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Residual Certificates
may be "noneconomic residual interests" 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
6
if a significant purpose of the transfer was to enable the transferor to impede
the assessment or collection of tax.
4. That the Transferee is aware of the tax imposed on a
"pass-through entity" holding Residual Certificates if at any time during the
taxable year of the pass-through entity a "disqualified organization" is the
record holder of an interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a "pass through
entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust
or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
5. That the Transferee is aware that the Trustee will not register
the Transfer of any Residual Certificates unless the transferee, or the
transferee's agent, delivers to it, among other things, an affidavit and
agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The
Transferee expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it
knows or believes that any of the representations contained in such affidavit
and agreement are false.
6. That the Transferee has reviewed the restrictions set forth on
the face of the Residual Certificates and the provisions of Section 6.02 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Residual Certificates were
issued. The Transferee acknowledges that the transfer of the Residual
Certificates is subject to the approval of the Depositor, which approval shall
be at its sole discretion. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to
comply with such restrictions and provisions.
7. That the Transferee consents to any additional restrictions or
arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Residual Certificates will only be
owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.
8. That the Transferee's Taxpayer Identification Number is
______________.
9. That the Transferee is a citizen or resident of the United
States, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or
under the laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an
estate or trust whose income from sources without the United States is
includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes
regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the
United States.
10. That no purpose of the Transferee relating to the purchase of
the Residual Certificates by the Transferee is or will be to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
11. That the Transferee has no present knowledge or expectation that
it will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as the
Residual Certificates remain outstanding.
7
12. That the Transferee has no present knowledge or expectation that
it will become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as
the Residual Certificates remain outstanding.
13. That no purpose of the Transferee relating to any sale of the
Residual Certificate by the Transferee will be to impede the assessment or
collection of tax.
14. The Transferee hereby agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and
to take any action required of it by the Code or Treasury regulations thereunder
(whether now or hereafter promulgated) in order to create or maintain the REMIC
status of the Trust Fund.
15. The Transferee hereby agrees that it will not take any action
that could endanger the REMIC status of any portion of the Trust Fund or result
in the imposition of tax on the Trust Fund unless counsel acceptable to the
Trustee has provided to the Trustee, at the Transferee's expense, an opinion
that such action will not result in the loss of such REMIC status or the
imposition of such tax, as applicable.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by
_______________ (the "Seller") to __________________________________ (the
"Purchaser") of the captioned mortgage pass-through certificates (the
"Certificates"), pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
(the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), dated as of December 1, 1996, among
American Southwest Financial Securities Corporation, as depositor (the
"Depositor"), Greystone Servicing Corporation, Inc., as master servicer,
Greystone Funding Corporation, as seller, Daiwa Finance Corp., as seller, and
LaSalle National Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee"). All terms used herein and not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The Seller hereby certifies, represents and warrants to, and
covenants with, the Depositor and the Trustee that:
1. No purpose of the Seller relating to sale of the Certificates by
the Seller to the Purchaser is or will be to enable the Seller to impede the
assessment or collection of any tax.
2. The Seller understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the
Trustee a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement as
Exhibit F-1. The Seller does not know or believe that any representation
contained therein is false.
3. The Seller has no actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee
is not a Permitted Transferee.
4. The Seller has no actual knowledge that the Purchaser would be
unwilling or unable to pay taxes due on its share of the taxable income
attributable to the Certificates.
5. The Seller has conducted a reasonable investigation of the
financial condition of the Purchaser and, as a result of the investigation,
found that the Purchaser has historically paid its debts as they came due, and
found no significant evidence to indicate that the Purchaser will not continue
to pay its debts as they come due in the future.
6. The Purchaser has represented to the Seller that, if the
Certificates constitute a noneconomic residual interest, it (i) understands that
as holder of a noneconomic residual interest it may incur tax liabilities in
excess of any cash flows generated by the interest, and (ii) intends to pay
taxes associated with its holding of the Certificates as they become due.
Very truly yours,
