Interests"), which will be uncertificated and non-transferable and are hereby
designated as the "regular interests" in the REMIC I and (y) the Class R-I
Certificates, which are hereby designated as the single "residual interest" in
the REMIC I (the REMIC I Regular Interests, together with the Class R-I
Certificates, the "REMIC I Certificates"). The REMIC I Regular Interests shall
be recorded on the records of the REMIC I as being issued to and held by the

principal balance equal to the excess of the Original Group I Loan Balance
over the initial principal balance of the Class IA Certificate (that is,
$720,000,000). The Class IC Certificates shall have an initial principal
balance equal to the Original Group IIa Loan Balance (that is, $325,000,000).

On each Payment Date, principal collections on the Group I
Home Equity Loans shall be allocated as follows: an amount equal to the
principal payable on the Class A-8 Certificates shall be payable on the Class
IA Certificates and the remaining principal collections shall be payable to
the Class IB Certificates. On each Payment Date, to the extent that any of the
Aggregate Group Extra Principal Distribution Amount is paid to the Class A-8
Certificates pursuant to Section 7.03(d)(i), an amount of interest otherwise
payable on the Class IB Certificates shall instead be paid as principal on the
Class IA Certificates (and will be accrued and added to principal on the Class
IB Certificates). Realized Losses on the Group I Home Equity Loans shall be
allocated as follows: an amount equal to the Realized Losses allocable to the
Class A-8 Certificates shall be allocable to the Class IA Certificates and the
remaining Realized Losses shall be allocable to the Class IB Certificates.
On each Payment Date, all principal collections and Realized
Losses on the Group IIa Home Equity Loans shall be allocated to the Class IC
Certificates.
On each Payment Date, principal collections on the Group IIb
Home Equity Loans shall be allocated as follows: an amount equal to the
principal payable on the Class A-16 and Class A-17 Certificates shall be

The Class IA and Class IB Certificates shall each have
Pass-Through Rates equal to the weighted average Coupon Rate of the Group I
Home Equity Loans net of the sum of the Servicing Fee for Loan Group I, and
the Trustee Fee for Loan Group I and the Premium Amount for Loan Group I (the
sum expressed as a per annum rate on the Group Loan Balance for Loan Group I).
The Class IC shall have a Pass-Through Rate equal to the weighted average
Coupon Rate of the Group IIa Home Equity Loans net of the sum of the Servicing
Fee for Loan Group IIa, and the Trustee Fee for Loan Group IIa and the Premium
Amount for Loan Group IIa (the sum expressed as a per annum rate on the Group

"regular interests" in the REMIC II and (y) the Class R-II Certificates, which
are hereby designated as the single "residual interest" in the REMIC II (the
REMIC II Regular Interests, together with the Class R-II Certificates, the
"REMIC II Certificates"). The REMIC II Regular Interests shall be recorded on
the records of the REMIC II as being issued to and held by the Trustee on
behalf of REMIC III.
Any Aggregate Group Extra Principal Distribution Amount will
not be paid as interest to the REMIC II Regular Interests, but instead to the
extent available, a portion of the interest payable with respect to the Class
II-M-4 Certificates which equals 1% of the Aggregate Extra Group Principal
Distribution Amount (and, to the extent 1% of the Aggregate Extra Group
Principal Distribution Amount exceeds the interest payable on the Class II-M-4
Certificates, a pro rata portion of the interest payable on the Class II-M-1,
Class II-M-2 and Class II-M-3 Certificates equal to such excess) will be
payable as a reduction of the principal balances of the Class II-A-1, Class
II-A-2, Class II-A-3, Class II-A-4, Class II-A-5, Class II-A-6, Class II-A-7,

Certificates, respectively (and will be accrued and added to principal on the
Class II-M-1, Class II-M-2 and Class II-M-3 Certificates in the same
proportion as interest payable on such Certificates is used to reduce
principal on other Certificates as just described).
Principal payments on the Home Equity Loans shall be
allocated 99% to the Class II-M-1, Class II-M-2, Class II-M-3, and Class
II-M-4 Certificates, and 1% to the Class II-A-1, Class II-A-2, Class II-A-3,

the Class II-M-2 Certificates and to the principal balance of the Class II-M-3
Certificates equals the ratio of the Group I Loan Balance to the Group II-A Loan
Balance and to the Group II-B Loan Balance (the "Balance Ratio") and second, to
the Class II-M-4 Certificates.
Notwithstanding the above, principal payments on the Home
Equity Loans that are attributable to the Aggregate Overcollateralization

A-19, Class A-20, and Class B-II Certificates, respectively, and the aggregate
principal balance of the Class II-M-1, Class II-M-2, Class II-M-3 and Class
II-M-4 Certificates is equal to the Total Loan Balances of the Home Equity
Loans less an amount equal to the sum of the principal balances of the Class

to any Home Equity Loan which is not in default or as to which no default is
imminent, no repurchase or substitution pursuant to Section 3.03, 3.04 or 3.06
shall be made unless ContiWest obtains for the Trustee and the Certificate
Insurer an opinion of counsel experienced in federal income tax matters to the
effect that such a repurchase or substitution would not constitute a
Prohibited Transaction for the Trust or any REMIC therein or otherwise subject
the Trust or any REMIC therein to tax and would not jeopardize the status of
any REMIC therein as a REMIC (a "REMIC Opinion") addressed to the Trustee and
the Certificate Insurer and acceptable to the Trustee and the Certificate
Insurer. Any Home Equity Loan as to which repurchase or substitution was
delayed pursuant to this Section shall be repurchased or substituted for
(subject to compliance with Sections 3.03, 3.04 or 3.06, as the case may be)
upon the earlier of (a) the occurrence of a default or imminent default with
respect to such Home Equity Loan and (b) receipt by the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer of a REMIC Opinion.

Equity Loan from the Trust at a purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase
Price thereof, which purchase price shall be delivered to the Servicer for

Seller so to substitute or purchase any Home Equity Loan as to which such a

Section 3.05 Conveyance of the Home Equity Loans and Qualified
Replacement Mortgages.
(a) On the Startup Day each Seller, concurrently with the
execution and delivery hereof, hereby transfers, assigns, sets over and
otherwise conveys to the Depositor and the Depositor, concurrently with the
execution and delivery hereof, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise
conveys, without recourse, to the Trust all of their respective right, title
and interest in and to the Trust Estate; provided, however, that each Seller
reserves and retains all of its right, title and interest in and to principal
(including Prepayments) collected and interest accrued on each Home Equity
Loan on or prior to the Cut-Off Date. The transfer by the Depositor of the
Home Equity Loans set forth on the Schedule of Home Equity Loans to the
Trustee is absolute and is intended by the Owners and all parties hereto to be
treated as a sale by the Depositor.
It is intended that the sale, transfer, assignment and
conveyance herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Home Equity Loans
conveying good title thereto free and clear of any liens and encumbrances from
each Seller to the Depositor and from the Depositor to the Trust and that the
Home Equity Loans not be part of the Depositor's or either Seller's estate in
the event of insolvency. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be a
loan, the parties intend that each Seller shall be deemed to have granted to
the Depositor and the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee
a first priority perfected security interest in the Trust Estate, and that
this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
In connection with such sale, transfer, assignment, and
conveyance from the Sellers to the Depositor, each Seller has filed, in the
appropriate office or offices in the States of Delaware, Pennsylvania and
Nevada, as the case may be, a UCC-1 financing statement executed by such
Seller as debtor, naming the Depositor as secured party and listing the Home
Equity Loans and the other property described above as collateral. The
characterization of a Seller as debtor and the Depositor as secured party on
such financing statements is solely for protective purposes and shall in no
way be construed as being contrary to the intent of the parties that this
transaction be treated as a sale of such Seller's entire right, title and
interest in and to the Trust Estate. In connection with such filing, each
Seller agrees that it shall cause to be filed all necessary continuation
statements thereof and to take or cause to be taken such actions and execute
such documents as are necessary to perfect and protect the Trustee's, the
Certificate Insurer's and the Owners' interest in the Trust Estate.
In connection with such sale, transfer, assignment, and
conveyance from the Depositor to the Trustee, the Depositor has filed, in the
appropriate office or offices in the States of New York, Nevada and Delaware,
a UCC-1 financing statement executed by the Depositor as debtor, naming the
Trustee as secured party and listing the Home Equity Loans and the other
property described above as collateral. The characterization of the Depositor
as debtor and the
-74-
Trustee as secured party in such financing statements is solely for protective
purposes and shall in no way be construed as being contrary to the intent of the
parties that this transaction be treated as a sale of the Depositor's entire
right, title and interest in and to the Trust Estate. In connection with such
filing, the Depositor agrees that it shall cause to be filed all necessary
continuation statements thereof and to take or cause to be taken such actions
and execute such documents as are necessary to perfect and protect the
Trustee's, the Certificate Insurer's and the Owners' interest in the Trust
Estate.
(b) In connection with the transfer and assignment of the
Home Equity Loans, the Depositor agrees to:
(i) deliver without recourse to the Trustee on the Startup
Day with respect to each Home Equity Loan (A) the original Notes
endorsed in blank or to the order of the Trustee, (B) the original
title insurance policy or a copy certified by the issuer of the title
insurance policy, or the attorney's opinion of title, (C) originals
or certified copies of all intervening assignments, showing a
complete chain of title from origination to the Trustee, if any,
including warehousing assignments, with evidence of recording
thereon, (D) originals of all assumption and modification agreements,
if any and (E) either: (1) the original Mortgage, with evidence of
recording thereon (if such original Mortgage has been returned to the
related Seller from the applicable recording office or a certified
copy thereof if such original Mortgage has not been returned to the
related Seller from the applicable recording office), or (2) a copy
of the Mortgage certified by the public recording office in those
instances where the original recorded Mortgage has been lost;
(ii) cause, within 60 days following the Startup Day or 15
days following the receipt from the relevant state authorities,
assignments of the Mortgages to "Manufacturers and Traders Trust
Company, as Trustee of ContiMortgage Home Equity Loan Trust 1998-3
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of September 1,
1998" to be submitted for recording in the appropriate jurisdictions;
provided, however, that the Depositor shall not be required to record
an assignment of a Mortgage if the Depositor furnishes to the Trustee
and the Certificate Insurer, on or before the Startup Day, at the
Depositor's expense an opinion of counsel with respect to the
relevant jurisdiction that such recording is not necessary to perfect
the Trustee's interest in the related Home Equity Loans (in form and
substance and from counsel satisfactory to the Rating Agencies and
the Certificate Insurer); notwithstanding the furnishing of such
opinion of counsel, however, the Certificate Insurer may, in its
reasonable discretion after consultation with the Depositor prior to
the date on which all assignments of Mortgages are required to be
filed hereunder, require the filing of assignments of Mortgages in
any state that is the subject of such opinions; and
(iii) deliver the title insurance policy or title searches,
the original Mortgages and such recorded assignments, together with
originals or duly certified copies of any and all prior assignments,
to the Trustee within 15 days of receipt thereof by the Depositor
(but in any event, with respect to any Mortgage as to which original
recording information has been made available to the Depositor,
within one year after the Startup Day).
-75-
Notwithstanding the delivery of opinions specified in clause
(i) above the Trustee shall cause to be recorded each assignment of a Mortgage
upon the earliest to occur of (a) the reasonable direction of the Certificate
Insurer, (b) the removal of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.20 hereof or
(c) notification to the Trustee of the occurrence of a bankruptcy or
insolvency relating to the Mortgagor.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 3.05, in those instances where the public recording office retains the
original Mortgage, the assignment of a Mortgage or the intervening assignments
of the Mortgage after it has been recorded, the Depositor shall be deemed to
have satisfied its obligations hereunder upon delivery to the Trustee of a
copy of such Mortgage, such assignment or assignments of Mortgage certified by
the public recording office to be a true copy of the recorded original
thereof.
Not later than ten days following the end of the 60-day
period referred in clause (ii) of the second preceding paragraph, each Seller
shall deliver to the Trustee a list of all Mortgages with respect to Home
Equity Loans delivered by such Seller for which no Mortgage assignment has yet
been submitted for recording by such Seller, which list shall state the reason
why such Seller has not yet submitted such Mortgage assignments for recording.
With respect to any Mortgage assignment disclosed on such list as not yet
submitted for recording for a reason other than a lack of original recording
information, the Trustee shall make an immediate demand on such Seller to
prepare such Mortgage assignments, and shall inform the Certificate Insurer of
such Seller's failure to prepare such Mortgage assignments. Thereafter, the
Trustee shall cooperate in executing any documents prepared by the Certificate
Insurer and submitted to the Trustee in connection with this provision.
Following the expiration of the 60-day period referred to in clause (ii) of
the second preceding paragraph, each Seller shall promptly prepare a Mortgage
assignment for any Mortgage with respect to Home Equity Loans delivered by
such Seller for which original recording information is subsequently received
by such Seller, and shall promptly deliver a copy of such Mortgage assignment
to the Trustee. Each Seller agrees that it will follow its normal servicing
procedures and attempt to obtain the original recording information necessary
to complete a Mortgage assignment with respect to Home Equity Loans delivered
by such Seller. In the event that a Seller is unable to obtain such recording
information with respect to any Mortgage prior to the end of the 18th calendar
month following the Startup Day and has not provided to the Trustee a Mortgage
assignment with evidence of recording thereon relating to the assignment of
such Mortgage to the Trustee, the Trustee shall notify such Seller of such
Seller's obligation to provide a completed assignment (with evidence of
recording thereon) on or before the end of the 20th calendar month following
the Startup Day with respect to the Home Equity Loans. A copy of such notice
shall be sent by the Trustee to the Certificate Insurer. If no such completed
assignment (with evidence of recording thereon) is provided before the end of
such 20th calendar month, the related Home Equity Loan shall be deemed to have
breached the representation contained in clause (xxiii) of Section 3.04(b)
hereof; provided, however, that if as of the end of such 20th calendar month
either Seller then required to deliver such a completed assignment
demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Certificate Insurer that it is
exercising its best efforts to obtain such completed assignment and, during
each month thereafter until such completed assignment is delivered to the
Trustee, such Seller continues to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
Certificate Insurer that it is exercising its best efforts to obtain such
completed assignment, the related Home Equity Loan will not be deemed to have
breached such
-76-
representation. The requirement to deliver a completed assignment with evidence
of recording thereon will be deemed satisfied upon delivery of a copy of the
completed assignment certified by the applicable public recording office.
Copies of all Mortgage assignments received by the Trustee
shall be retained in the related File.
All recording required pursuant to this Section 3.05 with
respect to one or more Home Equity Loans shall be accomplished at the expense
of the Seller delivering such Home Equity Loan.
(c) In the case of Home Equity Loans which have been prepaid
in full after the Cut-Off Date and prior to the Startup Day, the Depositor, in
lieu of the foregoing, will deliver within six (6) days after the Startup Day
to the Trustee a certification of an Authorized Officer in the form set forth
in Exhibit D.
(d) Each Seller shall transfer, assign, set over and
otherwise convey, without recourse, to the Trustee all right, title and
interest of such Seller in and to any Qualified Replacement Mortgage delivered
to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust by such Seller pursuant to Section 3.03,
3.04 or 3.06 hereof and all its right, title and interest to principal and
interest due on such Qualified Replacement Mortgage after the applicable
Replacement Cut-Off Date; provided, however, that such Seller shall reserve
and retain all right, title and interest in and to payments of principal and
interest due on such Qualified Replacement Mortgage on or prior to the
applicable Replacement Cut-Off Date.
(e) As to each Home Equity Loan released from the Trust in
connection with the conveyance of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage therefor,
the Trustee will transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey without
recourse or representation, on the order of the Seller delivering such Home
Equity Loan, all of its right, title and interest in and to such released Home
Equity Loan and all the Trust's right, title and interest to principal and
interest due on such released Home Equity Loan after the applicable
Replacement Cut-Off Date; provided, however, that the Trust shall reserve and
retain all right, title and interest in and to payments of principal and
interest due on such released Home Equity Loan on or prior to the applicable
Replacement Cut-Off Date.
(f) In connection with any transfer and assignment of a
Qualified Replacement Mortgage to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, each
Seller agrees to (i) deliver without recourse to the Trustee on the date of
delivery of such Qualified Replacement Mortgage the original Note relating
thereto, endorsed in blank or to the order of the Trustee, (ii) cause promptly
to be recorded an assignment in the appropriate jurisdictions, (iii) deliver
the original Qualified Replacement Mortgage and such recorded assignment,
together with original or duly certified copies of any and all prior
assignments, to the Trustee within 15 days of receipt thereof by such Seller
(but in any event within 120 days after the date of conveyance of such
Qualified Replacement Mortgage) and (iv) deliver the title insurance policy,
or where no such policy is required to be provided under Section
3.05(b)(i)(B), the other evidence of title in the same manner required in
Section 3.05(b)(i)(B).
-77-
(g) As to each Home Equity Loan released from the Trust in
connection with the conveyance of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage the Trustee
shall deliver on the date of conveyance of such Qualified Replacement Mortgage
and on the order of the Seller delivering such Qualified Replacement Mortgage
(i) the original Note relating thereto, endorsed without recourse or
representation, to such Seller, (ii) the original Mortgage so released and all
assignments relating thereto and (iii) such other documents as constituted the
File with respect thereto.
(h) If a Mortgage assignment is lost during the process of
recording, or is returned from the recorder's office unrecorded due to a
defect therein, the Seller that delivered the corresponding Home Equity Loan
shall prepare a substitute assignment or cure such defect, as the case may be,
and thereafter cause each such assignment to be duly recorded.
Section 3.06 Acceptance by Trustee; Certain Substitutions of Home
Equity Loans; Certification by Trustee.
(a) The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Startup
Day an acknowledgment of receipt of the items delivered by each of the Sellers
and the Depositor in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto, and declares that
it will hold such documents and any amendments, replacement or supplements
thereto, as well as any other assets included in the definitions of Trust
Estate and delivered to the Trustee, as Trustee in trust upon and subject to
the conditions set forth herein for the benefit of the Owners. The Trustee
agrees, for the benefit of the Owners, to review such items within 45 days
after the Startup Day (or, with respect to any document delivered after the
Startup Day, within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified
Replacement Mortgage, within 45 days after the assignment thereof) and to
deliver to the Depositor, each of the Sellers, the Certificate Insurer and the
Servicer a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (a "Pool
Certification") to the effect that, as to each Home Equity Loan listed in the
Schedule of Home Equity Loans (other than any Home Equity Loan paid in full or
any Home Equity Loan specifically identified in such Pool Certification as not
covered by such Pool Certification), (i) all documents required to be
delivered to it pursuant to Section 3.05(b)(i) of this Agreement are in its
possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been
mutilated, damaged or torn and relate to such Home Equity Loan and (iii) based
on its examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set
forth on the Schedule of Home Equity Loans accurately reflects the information
set forth in the File. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for reviewing
any File except as expressly provided in this subsection 3.06(a). Without
limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, in reviewing any File, the
Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining whether any document is
valid and binding, whether the text of any assignment is in proper form
(except to determine if the Trustee is the assignee), whether any document has
been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable
jurisdiction or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable
jurisdiction, but shall only be required to determine whether a document has
been executed, that it appears to be what it purports to be, and, where
applicable, that it purports to be recorded. The Trustee shall be under no
duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine,
enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other
than what they purport to be on their face, nor shall the Trustee be under any
duty to determine independently
-78-
whether there are any intervening assignments or assumption or modification
agreements with respect to any Home Equity Loan.
(b) If the Trustee during such 45-day period finds any
document constituting a part of a File which is not executed, has not been
received, or is unrelated to the Home Equity Loans identified in the Schedule
of Home Equity Loans, or that any Home Equity Loan does not conform to the
description thereof as set forth in the Schedule of Home Equity Loans, the
Trustee shall promptly so notify the Depositor, each of the Sellers, the
Certificate Insurer and the Owners. In performing any such review, the Trustee
may conclusively rely as to the purported genuineness of any such document and
any signature thereon. It is understood that the scope of the Trustee's review
of the items delivered by each of the Sellers pursuant to Section 3.05(b)(i)
is limited solely to confirming that the documents listed in Section
3.05(b)(i) have been executed and received, relate to the Files identified in
the Schedule of Home Equity Loans and conform to the description thereof in
the Schedule of Home Equity Loans. Each Seller agrees to use reasonable
efforts to remedy a material defect in a document constituting part of a File
delivered by such Seller of which it is so notified by the Trustee. If,
however, within 60 days after the Trustee's notice to it respecting such
defect the related Seller has not remedied the defect and the defect
materially and adversely affects the interest of the Owners or the Certificate
Insurer in the related Home Equity Loan such Seller will (or will cause an
affiliate of such Seller to) on the next succeeding Monthly Remittance Date
(i) if such Monthly Remittance Date is within two years following the Startup
Day, substitute in lieu of such Home Equity Loan a Qualified Replacement
Mortgage and deliver the Substitution Amount to the Servicer for deposit in
the Principal and Interest Account or (ii) purchase such Home Equity Loan at a
purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase Price thereof, which purchase price
shall be delivered to the Servicer for deposit in the Principal and Interest
Account. However, such substitution or purchase must occur within 90 days of
the Trustee's notice of the defect if the defect would prevent the Home Equity
Loan from being a Qualified Mortgage, and no substitution or purchase of a
Home Equity Loan that is not in default or for which no default is imminent
shall be made unless such Seller obtains for the Trustee and Certificate
Insurer a REMIC Opinion, addressed to and acceptable to the Trustee and
Certificate Insurer.
(c) In addition to the foregoing, the Trustee also agrees to
make a review during the 18th month after the Startup Day indicating the
current status of the exceptions previously indicated on the Pool
Certification (the "Final Certification"). After delivery of the Final
Certification, the Trustee and the Servicer shall monitor and upon request
from the Certificate Insurer provide no less frequently than monthly, updated
certifications indicating the then current status of exceptions, until all
such exceptions have been eliminated.

CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS
Section 5.01 Terms.
(a) The Certificates are pass-through securities having the
rights described therein and herein. Notwithstanding references herein or
therein with respect to the Certificates to "principal" and "interest" no debt
of any Person is represented thereby, nor are the Certificates or the
underlying Notes guaranteed by any Person (except that the Notes may be
recourse to the Mortgagors thereof to the extent permitted by law) and except
for the rights of the Trustee on behalf of the Owners of the Class A
Certificates with respect to the Certificate Insurance Policies. The
Certificates are payable solely from payments received on or with respect to
the Home Equity Loans (other than the Servicing Fees), moneys in the Principal
and Interest Account, earnings on moneys and the proceeds of property held as
a part of the Trust Estate. Each Certificate entitles the Owner thereof to
receive monthly on each Payment Date, in order of priority of distributions
with respect to such Class of Certificates as set forth in Section 7.03, a
specified portion of such payments with respect to the Home Equity Loans, pro
rata in accordance with such Owner's Percentage Interest.
(b) Each Owner is required, and hereby agrees, to return to
the Trustee any Certificate with respect to which the Trustee has made the
final distribution due thereon. Any such Certificate as to which the Trustee
has made the final distribution thereon shall be deemed canceled and shall no
longer be Outstanding for any purpose of this Agreement, whether or not such
Certificate is ever returned to the Trustee.

this Agreement or as may in the Depositor's judgment 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 applicable securities laws or as may, consistently herewith, be
determined by the Authorized Officer of the Depositor executing such
Certificates, as evidenced by his execution thereof.
-81-
Section 5.03 Execution, Authentication and Delivery.
Each Certificate shall be executed and authenticated by the
manual or facsimile signature of one of the Trustee's Authorized Officers.
Upon proper authentication by the Trustee, the Certificates shall bind the
Trust.
The initial Certificates shall be dated as of the Startup
Day and delivered at the Closing to the parties specified in Section 4.02
hereof. Subsequently issued Certificates will be dated as of the issuance of
the Certificate.
No Certificate shall be valid until executed and
authenticated as set forth above.
Section 5.04 Registration and Transfer of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept a register (the
"Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and
the registration of transfer of Certificates. The Trustee is hereby initially
appointed Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers
of Certificates as herein provided. The Owners, the Certificate Insurer and
the Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Register during the Trustee's
normal hours and to obtain copies thereof, and the Trustee shall have the
right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Registrar by an
Authorized Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Owners of the
Certificates and the principal amounts and numbers of such Certificates.
If a Person other than the Trustee is appointed as Registrar
by the Owners of a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests represented
by the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates then Outstanding with
the consent of the Certificate Insurer, or if there are no longer any Class A
Certificates or Class B Certificates then Outstanding, by such majority of the
Percentage Interests represented by the Class R-I Certificates, the Trustee
will give the Owners and the Certificate Insurer prompt written notice of the
appointment of such Registrar and of the location, and any change in the
location, of the Register. In connection with any such appointment the annual
fees of the bank then serving as Trustee and Registrar shall thenceforth be
reduced by the amount to be agreed upon by the Trustee and the Depositor at
such time and the reasonable fees of the Registrar shall be paid, as expenses
of the Trust, pursuant to Section 7.05 hereof.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.08 hereof, upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office
designated as the location of the Register, upon the direction of the
Registrar the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of a
like Class and in the aggregate principal amount or percentage interest of the
Certificate so surrendered.
(c) At the option of any Owner, Certificates of any Class
owned by such Owner may be exchanged for other Certificates authorized of like
Class and tenor and a like aggregate original principal amount or percentage
interest and bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding, upon surrender
of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office
-82-
designated as the location of the Register. Whenever any Certificate is so
surrendered for exchange, upon the direction of the Registrar, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificate or Certificates which the
Owner making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(d) All Certificates issued upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates shall be valid evidence of the same
ownership interests in the Trust and entitled to the same benefits under this
Agreement as the Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer
or exchange.
(e) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly
executed by the Owner thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(f) No service charge shall be made to an Owner for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Registrar or
Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of
transfer or exchange of Certificates; any other expenses in connection with
such transfer or exchange shall be an expense of the Trust.
(g) It is intended that the Offered Certificates be
registered so as to participate in a global book-entry system with the
Depository, as set forth herein. Each Class of Offered Certificates shall,
except as otherwise provided in Subsection (h), be initially issued in the
form of a single fully registered Certificate of such Class. Upon initial
issuance, the ownership of each such Certificate shall be registered in the
Register in the name of Cede & Co., or any successor thereto, as nominee for
the Depository.
On the Startup Day, the Offered Certificates (other than
Class A-18, Class N-IO and Class P-IO Certificates) shall be issued in
denominations of no less than $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. On the
Startup Day, the Class N-IO and Class P-IO Certificates shall be issued in
denominations of no less than $1,000 (based on the Class N-IO and Class P-IO
Notional Principal Amounts thereof) and integral multiples thereof; the
Auction Rate Certificates shall be issued in denominations of $25,000 and in
integral multiples thereof.
The Depositor and the Trustee are hereby authorized to
execute and deliver the Representation Letter with the Depository.
With respect to the Offered Certificates registered in the
Register in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository, the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Sellers, the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee
shall have no responsibility or obligation to Direct or Indirect Participants
or beneficial owners for which the Depository holds Offered Certificates from
time to time as a Depository. Without limiting the immediately preceding
sentence, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Sellers, the Certificate Insurer
and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i)
the accuracy of the records of the Depository, Cede & Co., or any Direct or
Indirect Participant with respect to the ownership interest in the Offered
Certificates, (ii) the delivery to any Direct or Indirect Participant or any
other Person, other than a registered
-83-
Owner of an Offered Certificate as shown in the Register, of any notice with
respect to the Offered Certificates or (iii) the payment to any Direct or
Indirect Participant or any other Person, other than a registered Owner of a
Offered Certificate as shown in the Register, of any amount with respect to any
distribution of principal or interest on the Offered Certificates. No Person
other than a registered Owner of a Offered Certificate as shown in the Register
shall receive a certificate evidencing such Offered Certificate.
Upon delivery by the Depository to the Trustee of written
notice to the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new
nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions hereof with
respect to the payment of interest by the mailing of checks or drafts to the
registered Owners of Offered Certificates appearing as registered Owners in
the registration books maintained by the Trustee at the close of business on a
Record Date, the name "Cede & Co." in this Agreement shall refer to such new
nominee of the Depository.
(h) In the event that (i) the Depository or the Depositor
advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or
able to discharge properly its responsibilities as nominee and depository with
respect to the Offered Certificates and the Depositor or the Trustee is unable
to locate a qualified successor or (ii) the Depositor at its sole option
elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository, the Offered
Certificates shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the Register
in the name of Cede & Co. (or a successor nominee) as nominee of the
Depository. At that time, the Depositor may determine that the Offered
Certificates shall be registered in the name of and deposited with a successor
depository operating a global book-entry system, as may be acceptable to the
Depositor and at the Depositor's expense, or such depository's agent or
designee but, if the Depositor does not select such alternative global
book-entry system, then the Offered Certificates may be registered in whatever
name or names registered Owners of Offered Certificates transferring the
Offered Certificates shall designate, in accordance with the provisions
hereof.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, so long as any of the Offered Certificates is registered in the
name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository, all distributions of
principal or interest on such Offered Certificates and all notices with
respect to such Offered Certificates shall be made and given, respectively, in
the manner provided in the Representation Letter.
Section 5.05 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) 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 (ii) in the case of any
mutilated Certificate, such mutilated Certificate shall first be surrendered
to the Trustee, and in the case of any destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate,
there shall be first delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as
may be reasonably required by it to hold the Trustee and the Certificate
Insurer harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or the
Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
and the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in
lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of like Class, tenor and aggregate principal amount, bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding.
-84-
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section,
the Registrar or Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto;
any other expenses in connection with such issuance shall be an expense of the
Trust.
Every new Certificate issued pursuant to this Section in
exchange for or in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate shall constitute evidence of a substitute interest in the Trust,
and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and
proportionately with any and all other Certificates of the same Class duly
issued hereunder and such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate
shall not be valid for any purpose.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall
preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificates.
Section 5.06 Persons Deemed Owners.
The Trustee and the Certificate Insurer and any agent of 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 with
respect to such Certificate and for all other purposes whatsoever and the
Trustee and the Certificate Insurer or any agent of the Trustee shall not be
affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 5.07 Cancellation.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be
delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. No Certificate
shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Certificate canceled
as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.
All canceled Certificates may be held by the Trustee in accordance with its
standard retention policy.
Section 5.08 Limitation on Transfer of Ownership Rights.
(a) No sale or other transfer of record or beneficial
ownership of a Residual Certificate (whether pursuant to a purchase, a
transfer resulting from a default under a secured lending agreement or
otherwise) shall be made to a Disqualified Organization or an agent of a
Disqualified Organization. The transfer, sale or other disposition of a
Residual Certificate (whether pursuant to a purchase, a transfer resulting
from a default under a secured lending agreement or otherwise) to a
Disqualified Organization shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect
whatsoever and such transferee shall not be deemed to be an Owner for any
purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions
on such Residual Certificate. Furthermore, in no event shall the Trustee
accept surrender for transfer, registration of transfer, or register the
transfer, of any Residual Certificate nor authenticate and make available any
new Residual Certificate unless the Trustee has received an affidavit from the
proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I. Each holder of a
Residual Certificate by his acceptance
-85-
thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of
this Section 5.08(a). The Class R-I, Class R-II and Class R Certificates are not
transferable except that the Owner of the Tax Matters Person Residual Interest
in the REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III may assign its interest to another Person
who accepts such assignment and the designation as Tax Matters Person pursuant
to Section 11.18 hereof.
(b) No other sale or other transfer of record or beneficial
ownership of a Class C, a Class R-I, Class R-II or Class R Certificate shall
be made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is made in
accordance with said Act and laws. In the event such a transfer is to be made
within three years from the Startup day, (i) the Trustee or the Depositor
shall require a written opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Insurer in the
event that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the
applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is
being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which opinion of counsel shall not
be an expense of the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer or the Trust Estate, and
(ii) the Trustee shall require the Transferee to execute an investment letter
acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to each of the Sellers
certifying to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and each of the Sellers and
the Certificate Insurer the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment
letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust Estate, the
Certificate Insurer or either of the Sellers. The Owner of a Class C, Class
R-I, Class R-II or Class R Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall,
and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Certificate Insurer and each of the Sellers against any liability that may
result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such
federal and state laws.
(c) The Internal Certificates, upon their registration or
the name of the Swap Trust, are not thereafter transferable.
(d) [RESERVED].
(e) No transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be made
unless the Trustee shall have received a representation letter from the
transferee of such Residual Certificate, acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that such transferee is
not an employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA nor a plan or
other arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA nor a plan or other
arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (collectively, a "Plan"), nor
is acting on behalf of any Plan nor using the assets of any Plan to effect
such transfer. By its acceptance or acquisition of a Class B or Class C
Certificate, the transferee shall be deemed to have represented that it either
(i) is not a Plan and is not acquiring its interest in such Class B or Class C
Certificates with assets of a Plan or (ii) is an insurance company acquiring
its interest as permitted in accordance with Prohibited Transaction Exemption
95-60. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported
transfer of a Certificate to or on behalf of any Plan without the delivery to
the Trustee a representation letter as described above shall be null and void
and of no effect.
(f) No sale or other transfer of any Offered Certificate may
be made to the Depositor, the Sellers or the Servicer. No sale or other
transfer of any Offered Certificate may be

made to an affiliate of either Seller unless the Trustee and the Certificate

Trustee and the Certificate Insurer experienced in federal bankruptcy matters to
the effect that such sale or transfer would not adversely affect the character
of the conveyance of the Home Equity Loans to the Trust as a sale. No sale or
other transfer of the Residual Certificate issued to ContiFunding Corporation on

accepts the appointment of Tax Matters Person pursuant to Section 11.18 hereof.

An Owner may pledge, encumber, hypothecate or assign all or
any part of its right to receive distributions hereunder, but such pledge,

ownership interest sufficient to render the transferee an Owner of the Trust
without compliance with the provisions of Section 5.04 and Section 5.08
hereof.

to be held in trust for the benefit of the Owners entitled thereto.
(c) The Depositor may at any time direct any Paying Agent to
pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to
be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the sums were
held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the
Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with
respect to such money.
(d) The Depositor shall require each Paying Agent, including
the Trustee on behalf of the Trust to comply with all requirements of the Code

amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be
paid to the Owners of the Class R-I Certificates; and the Owner of such
Offered Certificate shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look
only to the Owners of the Class R-I Certificates for payment thereof (but only
to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Owners of the Class R-I
Certificates) and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the
Trustee or such Paying Agent before being required to make any such payment,
may, at the expense of the Trust, cause to be published once, in the eastern

and that, after a date specified therein, which shall be not fewer than 30
days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money
then remaining will be paid to the Owners of the Class R-I Certificates. The
Trustee shall, at the direction of the Depositor, also adopt and employ, at
the expense of the Trust, any other reasonable means of notification of such

unlawful or in violation of the rights of the Certificate Insurer and/or the
Owners as such rights are set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section shall require any action by the Trustee unless the
Trustee shall first (i) have been furnished indemnity satisfactory to it and

rights and immunities hereunder.

judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Agreement, the Insurance
Agreement, the Indemnification Agreement or the Certificate Insurance Policies
or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of the Trust, or for any other
remedy with respect to an event of default hereunder, unless:
(1) such Owner has previously given written notice to the
Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee of such
Owner's intention to institute such proceeding;
(2) the Owners of not less than 25% of the Percentage Interests
represented by the Class A Certificates and Class B
Certificates then Outstanding or, if there are no Class A or
Class B Certificates then Outstanding, by such percentage of
the Percentage Interests represented by the Class R
Certificates, shall have made written request to the Trustee
to institute such proceeding in its own name as Trustee
establishing the Trust;
(3) such Owner or Owners have offered to the Trustee reasonable
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred in compliance with such request;
(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute such
proceeding;
(5) as long as any Class A Certificates are Outstanding or any
Reimbursement Amount remains unpaid, the Certificate Insurer
consented in writing thereto (unless the Certificate Insurer
is the party against whom the proceeding is directed); and
(6) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been
given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Owners
of a majority of the Percentage Interests represented by the
Class A and Class B Certificates or, if there are no Class A
or Class B Certificates then Outstanding, by such majority
of the Percentage Interests represented by the Class R
Certificates;
it being understood and intended that no one or more Owners shall have any
right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing themselves of, any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any
other Owner of the same Class or to obtain or to seek to
-91-
obtain priority or preference over any other Owner of the same Class or to

representing less than a majority of the applicable Class of Certificates and
each conforming to paragraphs (1)-(5) of this Section 6.07, the Certificate
Insurer in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be
taken, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (unless the
Certificate Insurer is the party against whom the proceeding is directed).
Section 6.08 Unconditional Rights of Owners to Receive
Distributions.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the
Owner of any Certificate shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to receive distributions to the extent provided herein and
therein with respect to such Certificate or to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such distribution, and such right shall not be impaired
without the consent of such Owner.
Section 6.09 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided herein, no right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer or
the Owners is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Except as otherwise provided
herein, the assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any
other appropriate right or remedy.

No delay of the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer or any
Owner of any Certificate to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement
with respect to any event described in Section 8.20(a) or (b) shall impair any
such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such event or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article VI or by

the Certificate Insurer or the Owners, as the case may be.

remedy available to the Trustee with respect to the Certificates or exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Trustee
-92-
with respect to the Certificates or the Trust Estate, including, but not limited

or with this Agreement;

Trustee, as the case may be, which is not inconsistent with

action which it determines might involve it in liability or
may be unjustly prejudicial to the Owners not so directing.
Section 6.12 Indemnification.
The Depositor agrees to indemnify and hold the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer and each Owner harmless against any and all claims,
losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer and any Owner may sustain in any way related to the
failure of the Depositor to perform its duties in compliance with the terms of
this Agreement. The Depositor shall immediately notify the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer and each Owner if such a claim is made by a third party
with respect to this Agreement, and the Depositor shall assume (with the
consent of the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in
connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay,
discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the
Servicer, either of the Sellers, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and/or
any Owner in respect of such claim. The Trustee may, if necessary, reimburse

duties in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition to the

by ContiMortgage of its representations and warranties set forth in Section
3.04(b)(xiii) or (xv) hereof with respect to a Home Equity Loan if such Home
Equity Loan qualifies as a "high cost mortgage" pursuant to Section 226.32 of
the Truth-in-Lending Act, as amended. The provisions of this Section 6.12
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
outstanding Certificates.

(a) If any Owner (for purposes of this Section 6.13, an
"Applicant") applies in writing to the Trustee, and such application states
that the Applicant desires to communicate with other Owners with respect to
their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and is accompanied
by a copy of the communication which such Applicant proposes to transmit, then
the Trustee shall, at the expense of such Applicant, within ten (10) Business
Days after the
-93-
receipt of such application, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Applicant
a list of the names and addresses of the Owners of record as of the most recent
Payment Date.
(b) Every Owner, by receiving and holding such list, agrees
with the Trustee that the Trustee shall not be held accountable in any way by
reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of

-99-
(n) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any
payment with respect to principal of or interest on any of the Class A

related Certificate Insurance Policy shall not be considered payment of such
Certificates from the Trust or the Swap Trust, as applicable and shall not
result in the payment of or the provision for the payment of the principal of
or interest on such Certificates within the meaning of Section 7.03. The
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee acknowledge, and each Owner by its
acceptance of a Certificate agrees, that without the need for any further
action on the part of the Certificate Insurer, the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Trustee or the Registrar (a) to the extent the Certificate Insurer makes
payments, directly or indirectly, on account of principal of or interest on
any Class A Certificates to the Owners of such Certificates, the Certificate
Insurer will be fully subrogated to the rights of such Owners to receive such
principal and interest together with any interest thereon of the applicable
Pass-Through Rate for such Class from the Trust and (b) the Certificate
Insurer shall be paid such principal and interest only from the sources and in
the manner provided herein for the payment of such principal and interest.
It is understood and agreed that the intention of the
parties is that the Certificate Insurer shall not be entitled to reimbursement
on any Payment Date for amounts previously paid by it unless on such Payment
Date the Owners of the Class A Certificates shall also have received the full
amount of the related Class A Distribution Amounts for such Payment Date.
The Trustee or Paying Agent shall (i) receive as
attorney-in-fact of each Owner of Class A Certificates any Insured Payment
from the Certificate Insurer and (ii) disburse the same to the Owners of the
related Class A Certificates as set forth in this Section 7.03. Insured
Payments disbursed by the Trustee or Paying Agent from proceeds of a

duplication, upon receipt, any payments received under the Swap Agreement, any
Insured Swap Interest Payments, the proceeds of any liquidation of the assets
of the Swap Trust, and all remittances made to the Swap Trust pursuant to
Section 7.03 hereof.
(d) On each Payment Date, the Trustee shall make the
following disbursements from the Internal Fixed Interest Amount (plus the
amount of any Insured Swap Interest Payments, which are available only for the
payment of the amount described in Second below), in the following order of
priority, and each such disbursement shall be treated as having occurred only
after all preceding disbursements have occurred.
(i) First to the Swap Counterparty, any regularly scheduled
payment due to the Swap Counterparty under Section 2(a) of the Swap
Agreement;
(ii) Second, to the Owner of the Swapped Certificates, the
Current Interest plus the related Interest Carry Forward Amount with
respect to the related Swapped Certificates without any priority
among such Owners; provided, that if the Internal Fixed Interest
Amount plus the amount of any Insured Swap Interest Payment is not
sufficient to make a full distribution of interest with respect to
all Swapped Certificates, and the amount of the shortfall will be
carried forward as the Interest Carry Forward Amount.
(e) On each Payment Date, the Trustee shall make the
following disbursements from amounts relating to principal and each such
disbursement shall be treated as having occurred only after all preceding
disbursements have occurred:
(i) to the Owners of the Class A-12 Certificates, 100% of
the principal received by the Trustee on account of the Class A-12
Internal Certificate;

ARTICLE VIII
SERVICING AND ADMINISTRATION
OF HOME EQUITY LOANS
Section 8.01 Servicer and Sub-Servicers.
Acting directly or through one or more Sub-Servicers as
provided in Section 8.03, the Servicer shall service and administer the Home
Equity Loans in accordance with this Agreement and the servicing standards set
forth in the FannieMae Guide and shall have full power and authority, acting
alone, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such
servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. It is
the intent of the parties hereto that the Servicer shall have all of the
servicing obligations hereunder which a lender would have under the FannieMae
Guide (as such provisions relate to second lien mortgages); provided, however,
that to the extent that such standards, such obligations or the FannieMae
Guide are amended by FannieMae after the date hereof and the effect of such
amendment would be to impose upon the Servicer any material additional costs
or other burdens relating to such servicing obligations, the Servicer may, at
its option, determine not to comply with such amendment.
Subject to Section 8.03 hereof, the Servicer may, and is
hereby authorized to, perform any of its servicing responsibilities with
respect to all or certain of the Home Equity Loans through a Sub-Servicer as
it may from time to time designate, but no such designation of a Sub-Servicer
shall serve to release the Servicer from any of its obligations under this
Agreement. Such Sub-Servicer shall have all the rights and powers of the
Servicer with respect to such Home Equity Loans under this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but
subject to Sections 8.13 and 8.14, the Servicer in its own name or in the name
of a Sub-Servicer may be authorized and empowered pursuant to a power of
attorney executed and delivered by the Trustee to execute and deliver, and may
be authorized and empowered by the Trustee, to execute and deliver, on behalf
of itself, the Owners and the Trustee or any of them, (i) any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release or
discharge and all other comparable instruments with respect to the Home Equity
Loans and with respect to the Properties, (ii) to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed in lieu of foreclosure so as to effect ownership
of any Property in the name of the Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, and
(iii) to hold title to any Property upon such foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure on behalf of the Trustee; provided, however, that to the extent
any instrument described in clause (i) preceding would be delivered by the
Servicer outside of its usual procedures for mortgage loans held in its own
portfolio the Servicer shall, prior to executing and delivering such
instrument, obtain the prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer; and
provided further, however, that Section 8.14(a) shall constitute an
authorization from the Trustee to the Servicer to execute an instrument of
satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) with respect to any
Home Equity Loan paid in full (or with respect to which payment in full has
been escrowed). The Trustee shall execute any documentation furnished to it by
the Servicer for recordation by the Servicer in the appropriate jurisdictions
as shall be necessary to effectuate the foregoing. Subject to Sections 8.13
and 8.14,
-114-
the Trustee shall execute any authorizations and other documents as the Servicer
or such Sub-Servicer shall reasonably request that are furnished to the Trustee
to enable the Servicer and such Sub-Servicer to carry out their respective
servicing and administrative duties hereunder.
The Servicer shall give prompt notice to the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer of any action, of which the Servicer has actual knowledge,
to (i) assert a claim against the Trust or (ii) assert jurisdiction over the
Trust.
Servicing Advances incurred by the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer in connection with the servicing of the Home Equity Loans
(including any penalties in connection with the payment of any taxes and
assessments or other charges) on any Property shall be recoverable by the
Servicer or such Sub-Servicer to the extent described in Section 8.09(b)
hereof.
Section 8.02 Collection of Certain Home Equity Loan Payments.
The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Home Equity Loans,
and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this
Agreement and the terms and provisions of any applicable Insurance Policy,
follow collection procedures for all Home Equity Loans at least as rigorous as
those described in the FannieMae Guide. Consistent with the foregoing, the
Servicer may in its discretion waive or permit to be waived any late payment
charge, prepayment charge, assumption fee or any penalty interest in
connection with the prepayment of a Home Equity Loan or any other fee or
charge which the Servicer would be entitled to retain hereunder as servicing
compensation. In the event the Servicer shall consent to the deferment of the
due dates for payments due on a Note, the Servicer shall nonetheless make
payment of any required Delinquency Advance with respect to the payments so
extended to the same extent as if such installment were due, owing and
Delinquent and had not been deferred, and shall be entitled to reimbursement
therefor in accordance with Section 8.09(a) hereof.
Section 8.03 Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Servicer and
Sub-Servicers.
The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements for any
servicing and administration of Home Equity Loans with any institution that is
acceptable to the Certificate Insurer and that is in compliance with the laws
of each state necessary to enable it to perform its obligations under such
Sub-Servicing Agreement and (x) has (i) been designated an approved
seller-servicer by FHLMC or FannieMae for second mortgage loans and (ii) has
equity of at least $5,000,000, as determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles or (y) is a Servicer Affiliate. The Servicer
shall give notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the Rating
Agencies of the appointment of any Sub-Servicer. For purposes of this
Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on Home
Equity Loans when any Sub-Servicer has received such payments. Each
Sub-Servicer shall be required to service the Home Equity Loans in accordance
with this Agreement and any such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be consistent
with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement. Each Sub-Servicing
Agreement shall provide that a successor Servicer shall have the option to
terminate such agreement without payment of any fees if the original Servicer
is terminated or resigns.
-115-
Section 8.04 Successor Sub-Servicers.
The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any
Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
Sub-Servicing Agreement and to either itself directly service the related Home
Equity Loans or enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor
Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 8.03.
Section 8.05 Liability of Servicer; Indemnification.
(a) The Servicer shall not be relieved of its obligations
under this Agreement notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement or any of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between
the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer and the Servicer shall be obligated to the
same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were
servicing and administering the Home Equity Loans. The Servicer shall be
entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for indemnification
of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing contained in such
Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify this Agreement.
(b) The Servicer (except Manufacturers and Traders Trust
Company if it is required to succeed the Servicer hereunder) agrees to
indemnify and hold the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and each Owner
harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures,
legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and
expenses that the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and any Owner may sustain
in any way related to the failure of the Servicer to perform its duties and
service the Home Equity Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
The Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and
each Owner if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement,
and the Servicer shall assume (with the consent of the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in
connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay,
discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the
Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and/or Owner in respect of such
claim. The Trustee may, if necessary, reimburse the Servicer from amounts
otherwise distributable on the Class R Certificates for all amounts advanced
by it pursuant to the preceding sentence except when the claim relates
directly to the failure of the Servicer to service and administer the Home
Equity Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of
this Section 8.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
payment of the outstanding Certificates.
Section 8.06 No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicer,
Trustee or the Owners.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement and any other transactions or
services relating to the Home Equity Loans involving a Sub-Servicer shall be
deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone and the Trustee,
the Certificate Insurer and the Owners shall not be deemed parties thereto and
shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect
to any Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section 8.07.
-116-
Section 8.07 Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreement
by Trustee.
In connection with the assumption of the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities and of the authority, power and rights of the Servicer
hereunder by the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.20, it is understood and agreed
that the Servicer's rights and obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement
then in force between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer shall be assumed
simultaneously by the Trustee without act or deed on the part of the Trustee;
provided, however, that the successor Servicer may terminate the Sub-Servicer
as provided in Section 8.03.
The Servicer shall, upon the reasonable request of the
Trustee, but at the expense of the Servicer, deliver to the assuming party
documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and an
accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best
reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the
Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.
Section 8.08 Principal and Interest Account.
(a) The Servicer shall establish and maintain at one or more
Designated Depository Institutions the Principal and Interest Account to be
held as a trust account. Each Principal and Interest Account shall be
identified on the records of the Designated Depository Institution as follows:
"Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as Trustee under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement dated as of September 1, 1998." If the institution at any
time holding the Principal and Interest Account ceases to be eligible as a
Designated Depository Institution hereunder, then the Servicer shall, within
30 days, be required to name a successor institution meeting the requirements
for a Designated Depository Institution hereunder. If the Servicer fails to
name such a successor institution, then the Principal and Interest Account
shall thenceforth be held as a trust account with a qualifying Designated
Depository Institution. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate
Insurer and the Owners if there is a change in the name, account number or
institution holding the Principal and Interest Account.
Subject to Subsection (c) below, the Servicer shall deposit
all receipts required pursuant to Subsection (c) below and related to the Home
Equity Loans to the Principal and Interest Account on a daily basis (but no
later than the first Business Day after receipt).
(b) All funds in the Principal and Interest Account shall be
held (i) uninvested (up to the limits insured by the FDIC) or (ii) invested in
Eligible Investments. Any investments of funds in the Principal and Interest
Account shall mature or be withdrawable at par on or prior to the immediately
succeeding Monthly Remittance Date. The Principal and Interest Account shall
be held in trust in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Owners and
the Certificate Insurer. Any investment earnings on funds held in the
Principal and Interest Account shall be for the account of the Servicer and
may only be withdrawn from the Principal and Interest Account by the Servicer
immediately following the remittance of the Monthly Remittance Amount (and the
Monthly Excess Interest Amount included therein) by the Servicer. Any
investment losses on funds held in the Principal and Interest Account shall be
for the account of the Servicer and promptly upon the realization of such loss
shall be contributed by the Servicer to the Principal
-117-
and Interest Account. Any references herein to amounts on deposit in the
Principal and Interest Account shall refer to amounts net of such investment
earnings.
(c) The Servicer shall deposit to the Principal and Interest
Account on the Business Day after receipt all principal collections on the
Home Equity Loans received, and interest collections on the Home Equity Loans
accrued after the Cut-Off Date including any Prepayments and Net Liquidation
Proceeds, other recoveries or amounts related to the Home Equity Loans
received by the Servicer and any income from REO Properties, but net of (i)
the Servicing Fee with respect to each Home Equity Loan and other servicing
compensation to the Servicer as permitted by Section 8.15 hereof, (ii)
principal collected and interest accrued on any Home Equity Loan on or prior
to the Cut-Off Date, (iii) Net Liquidation Proceeds to the extent such Net
Liquidation Proceeds exceed the sum of (I) the Loan Balance of the related
Home Equity Loan immediately prior to liquidation, (II) accrued and unpaid
interest on such Home Equity Loan (net of the Servicing Fee) to the date of
such liquidation, and (III) any Realized Losses incurred during the related
Remittance Period, (iv) reimbursements for Delinquency Advances and (v)
reimbursements for amounts deposited in the Principal and Interest Account
representing payments of principal and/or interest on a Note by a Mortgagor
which are subsequently returned by a depository institution as unpaid (all
such net amount herein referred to as "Daily Collections").
(d) (i) The Servicer may make withdrawals for its own
account from the amounts on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account,
with respect to the Home Equity Loans, only in the following priority and for
the following purposes:
(A) to withdraw interest paid with respect to any Home Equity
Loans that had accrued for periods prior to the Cut-Off
Date;
(B) to withdraw investment earnings on amounts on deposit in the
Principal and Interest Account;
(C) to reimburse itself pursuant to Section 8.09(a) for
unrecovered Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances;
(D) to withdraw amounts that have been deposited to the Principal
and Interest Account in error; and
(E) to clear and terminate the Principal and Interest Account
following the termination of the Trust pursuant to Article
IX.
(ii) The Servicer shall (a) remit to the Trustee for deposit in
the Certificate Account by wire transfer, or otherwise make
funds available in immediately available funds, without
duplication, the Daily Collections allocable to a Remittance
Period not later than the related Monthly Remittance Date and
Loan Purchase Prices and Substitution Amounts two Business
Days following the related purchase or substitution, and (b)
on each Monthly Remittance Date, deliver to the Trustee and
the Certificate Insurer a monthly servicing report, with
respect to the Home Equity
-118-
Loans, containing the following information: principal and
interest collected, scheduled interest, Liquidated Loans,
summary and detailed delinquency reports, Liquidation
Proceeds and other similar information concerning the
servicing of the Home Equity Loans. In addition, the Servicer
shall inform the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer on each
Monthly Remittance Date with respect to the Home Equity Loans
of the amounts of any Loan Purchase Prices or Substitution
Amounts so remitted during the related Remittance Period.
(iii) The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the information
described in Section 8.08(d)(ii)(b) and in Section 7.09(c)
to enable the Trustee to perform its reporting requirements
under Section 7.09 and the Trustee shall forward such
information to the Underwriters within five Business Days of
receipt thereof.
Section 8.09 Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances.
(a) If the amount on deposit in the Certificate Account as
of any Monthly Remittance Date is less than the sum of (I) the Group I and
Group II Interest Remittance Amount on such Monthly Remittance Date and (II)
the Group I and Group II Principal Remittance Amount on such Monthly
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee for deposit into the
Certificate Account a sufficient amount of its own funds to make the total
amount remitted to the Trustee equal to such sum. Such amounts of the
Servicer's own funds so deposited are "Delinquency Advances," including but
not limited to any amount advanced due to the invocation by a Mortgagor of the
relief provisions provided by the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of
1940.
The Servicer shall be permitted to fund its payment of
Delinquency Advances on any Business Day and to reimburse itself for any
Delinquency Advances paid from the Servicer's own funds from collections on
any Home Equity Loan deposited to the Principal and Interest Account
subsequent to the related Remittance Period and shall deposit into the
Principal and Interest Account with respect thereto (i) collections from the
Mortgagor whose Delinquency gave rise to the shortfall which resulted in such
Delinquency Advance and (ii) Net Liquidation Proceeds recovered on account of
the related Mortgage Loan to the extent of the amount of aggregate Delinquency
Advances related thereto. If not recovered from the related Mortgagor or the
related Net Liquidation Proceeds, the Servicer shall recover Delinquency
Advances pursuant to Section 7.03(e)(iii).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the
Servicer determines that the aggregate unreimbursed Delinquency Advances
exceed the aggregate remaining Scheduled Payments due on the Home Equity
Loans, the Servicer shall not be required to make any future Delinquency
Advances, and shall be entitled to reimbursement for such aggregate
unreimbursed Delinquency Advances as provided above. The Servicer shall give
written notice of such determination to the Trustee and the Certificate
Insurer; and the Trustee shall promptly furnish a copy of such notice to the
Owners of the Class R Certificates; provided, that the Servicer shall be
entitled to recover any unreimbursed Delinquency Advances from the aforesaid
Liquidation Proceeds prior to the payment of the Liquidation Proceeds to any
other party to this Agreement.
-119-
(b) The Servicer will pay all "out-of-pocket" costs and
expenses incurred in the performance of its servicing obligations, including,
but not limited to, the cost of (i) Preservation Expenses, (ii) any
enforcement or judicial proceedings, including foreclosures, (iii) the
management and liquidation of REO Property and (iv) advances required by
Section 8.13(a), but the Servicer is only required to pay such costs and
expenses to the extent the Servicer reasonably believes such costs and
expenses will be recoverable from the related Home Equity Loan. Each such
expenditure will constitute a "Servicing Advance". The Servicer may recover
Servicing Advances (x) from the Mortgagors to the extent permitted by the Home
Equity Loans or, if not recovered from the Mortgagor on whose behalf such
Servicing Advance was made, from Liquidation Proceeds realized upon the
liquidation of the related Home Equity Loan and (y) as provided in Section
7.03(e)(iii). The Servicer shall be entitled to recover the Servicing Advances
from the aforesaid Liquidation Proceeds prior to the payment of the
Liquidation Proceeds to any other party to this Agreement. Except as provided
in the previous sentence, in no case may the Servicer recover Servicing
Advances from the principal and interest payments on any Home Equity Loan or
from any amounts relating to any other Home Equity Loan except as provided in
Section 7.03(e)(iii).
Section 8.10 Compensating Interest; Repurchase of Home Equity
Loans.
(a) Prepayment of a Home Equity Loan occurs during any
calendar month or if the amount received with respect to a date-of-payment or
simple interest Home Equity Loan represents less than a full month's interest,
any difference between the interest collected from the Mortgagor and the full
month's interest at the Coupon Rate less the Servicing Fee ("Compensating
Interest") that is due shall be deposited by the Servicer (but not in excess
of the aggregate Servicing Fee for the related Remittance Period) to the
Principal and Interest Account on the next succeeding Monthly Remittance Date
and shall be included in the Monthly Remittance to be made available to the
Trustee on such Monthly Remittance Date. The Servicer shall not be entitled to
reimbursement for amounts paid as Compensating Interest.
(b) The Servicer, and in the absence of exercise thereof by
the Servicer, the Certificate Insurer, has the right and the option, but not
the obligation, for administrative convenience, to purchase for its own
account any Home Equity Loan which becomes Delinquent, in whole or in part, as
to four consecutive monthly installments or any Home Equity Loan as to which
enforcement proceedings have been brought by the Servicer pursuant to Section
8.13; provided, however, that the Servicer or the Certificate Insurer, as the
case may be, may not purchase any such Home Equity Loan unless the Servicer or
the Certificate Insurer, as the case may be, has delivered to the Trustee an
opinion of counsel experienced in federal income tax matters acceptable to the
Trustee and the Certificate Insurer to the effect that such a purchase would
not constitute a Prohibited Transaction for the Trust or otherwise subject the
Trust to tax and would not jeopardize the status any REMIC therein as a REMIC.
Any such Loan so purchased shall be purchased by the Servicer or the
Certificate Insurer, as the case may be, on a Monthly Remittance Date at a
purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase Price thereof, which purchase price
shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account.
-120-
(c) The Net Liquidation Proceeds from the disposition of any
REO Property shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account and
remitted to the Trustee as part of the Daily Collections remitted by the
Servicer to the Trustee.
Section 8.11 Maintenance of Insurance.
(a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect
to each Home Equity Loan a hazard insurance policy with a generally acceptable
carrier that provides for fire and extended coverage, and which provides for a
recovery by the Trust of insurance proceeds relating to such Home Equity Loan in
an amount not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of
the Home Equity Loan (plus the related senior lien loan, if any), (ii) the
minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost
basis and (iii) the full insurable value of the premises. The Servicer shall
maintain the insurance policies required hereunder in the name of the mortgagee,
its successors and assigns, as loss payee. The policies shall require the
insurer to provide the mortgagee with 30 days' notice prior to any cancellation
or as otherwise required by law. The Servicer may also maintain a blanket hazard
insurance policy or policies if the insurer or insurers of such policies are
rated investment grade by each Rating Agency. Upon the request of the Trustee or
the Certificate Insurer, the Servicer will cause to be delivered to such
requesting Person a certified true copy of such blanket policy.
(b) If the Home Equity Loan at the time of origination
relates to a Property in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the
Servicer will cause to be maintained with respect thereto a flood insurance
policy in a form meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the
Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable carrier in an
amount representing coverage, and which provides for a recovery by the Trust of
insurance proceeds relating to such Home Equity Loan of not less than the least
of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Home Equity Loan (plus the
related senior lien loan, if any), (ii) the minimum amount required to
compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum
amount of insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973. The Servicer shall indemnify the Trust out of the Servicer's own funds for
any loss to the Trust resulting from the Servicer's failure to maintain premiums
for such insurance required by this Section when so permitted by the terms of
the Mortgage as to which such loss relates.
Section 8.12 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and Substitution
Agreements.
When a Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the
Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance
or prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the
related Home Equity Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause contained in the related
Mortgage or Note; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not exercise any
such right if the "due-on-sale" clause, in the reasonable belief of the
Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law. An opinion of counsel to the
foregoing effect shall conclusively establish the reasonableness of such belief.
In such event, the Servicer shall enter into an assumption and modification
agreement with the person to whom such property has been or is about to be
conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Note and,
unless prohibited by applicable law or the Mortgage Documents, the Mortgagor
remains liable
-121-
thereon. If the foregoing is not permitted under applicable law, the Servicer is
authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person,
pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such
person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Note; provided,
however, that to the extent any such substitution of liability agreement would
be delivered by the Servicer outside of its usual procedures for mortgage loans
held in its own portfolio the Servicer shall, prior to executing and delivering
such agreement, obtain the prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer. The
Home Equity Loan, as assumed, shall conform in all respects to the requirements,
representations and warranties of this Agreement. The Servicer shall notify the
Trustee that any such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by
forwarding to the Trustee the original copy of such assumption or substitution
agreement (indicating the File to which it relates) which copy shall be added by
the Trustee to the related File and which shall, for all purposes, be considered
a part of such File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof. The Servicer shall be responsible for recording any
such assumption or substitution agreements. In connection with any such
assumption or substitution agreement, the required monthly payment on the
related Home Equity Loan shall not be changed but shall remain as in effect
immediately prior to the assumption or substitution, the stated maturity or
outstanding principal amount of such Home Equity Loan shall not be changed nor
shall any required monthly payments of principal or interest be deferred or
forgiven. Any fee collected by the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer for consenting
to any such conveyance or entering into an assumption or substitution agreement
shall be retained by or paid to the Servicer as additional servicing
compensation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other
provision of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default,
breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any
assumption of a Home Equity Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the
Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
Section 8.13 Realization Upon Defaulted Home Equity Loans;
Modification.
(a) The Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably effect the ownership in the name of the Servicer on behalf of the
Trust of Properties relating to defaulted Home Equity Loans as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of Delinquent payments and
which the Servicer has not purchased pursuant to Section 8.10(b). In connection
with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall exercise such of
the rights and powers vested in it hereunder, and use the same degree of care
and skill in their exercise or use, as prudent mortgage lenders would exercise
or use under the circumstances in the conduct of their own affairs and
consistent with the servicing standards set forth in the FannieMae Guide,
including, but not limited to, advancing funds for the payment of taxes, amounts
due with respect to Senior Liens, and insurance premiums. Any amounts so
advanced shall constitute "Servicing Advances" within the meaning of Section
8.09(b) hereof. The Servicer shall sell any REO Property before the start of the
12th month of the 3rd taxable year following the taxable year in which the Trust
acquired such property, at such price as the Servicer deems necessary to comply
with this covenant unless the Seller which delivered the related Home Equity
Loan obtains for the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the Servicer an
opinion of counsel experienced in federal income tax matters acceptable to the
Trustee and the Certificate
-122-
Insurer, addressed to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, and the Servicer, to
the effect that the holding by the Trust of such REO Property for any greater
period will not result in the imposition of taxes on "Prohibited Transactions"
of the Trust or any REMIC therein as defined in Section 860F of the Code or
cause any REMIC therein to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions
at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. Notwithstanding the
generality of the foregoing provisions, the Servicer shall manage, conserve,
protect and operate each REO Property for the Owners solely for the purpose of
its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any REMIC of any
"income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B)
of the Code or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to
taxation under the REMIC Provisions. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO
Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the
Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such
extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and
may, incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Owners,
rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best
interest of the Owners for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property.
The Servicer shall take into account the existence of any hazardous substances,
hazardous wastes or solid wastes, as such terms are defined in the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act of 1976, or other federal, state or local environmental
legislation, on a Property in determining whether to foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of such Property. The Servicer shall not take
any such action with respect to any Property known by the Servicer to contain
such wastes or substances, without the prior written consent of the Certificate
Insurer. With respect to any Home Equity Loan secured by a mixed use Property,
the Servicer shall, prior to foreclosing upon or otherwise comparably effecting
the ownership in the name of the Servicer on behalf of the Trust, either (x)
perform a "phase one environmental study" of such Property or (y) repurchase
such Property at the Loan Purchase Price.
(b) The Servicer shall determine, with respect to each
defaulted Home Equity Loan and in accordance with the procedures set forth in
the FannieMae Guide, when it has recovered, whether through trustee's sale,
foreclosure sale or otherwise, all amounts it expects to recover from or on
account of such defaulted Home Equity Loan, whereupon such Home Equity Loan
shall become a "Liquidated Loan." After a Home Equity Loan has become a
Liquidated Loan, the Servicer shall promptly prepare and forward to the
Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee a report detailing the
Liquidation Proceeds received from the Liquidated Loan, expenses incurred with
respect thereto, and any loss incurred in connection therewith.
(c) The Servicer shall not agree to any modification, waiver
or amendment of any provision of any Home Equity Loan unless, in the Servicer's
good faith judgment, such modification, waiver or amendment would minimize the
loss that might otherwise be experienced with respect to such Home Equity Loan
and only in the event of a payment default with respect to such Home Equity Loan
or in the event that a payment default with respect to such Home Equity Loan is
reasonably foreseeable by the Servicer; provided, however, that no such
modification, waiver or amendment shall extend the maturity date of such Home
Equity Loan beyond the Remittance Period related to the Final Scheduled Payment
Date of the latest
-123-
Class of Certificates remaining in the Trust. Notwithstanding anything set out
in this Section 8.13(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Servicer shall be permitted to modify, waive or amend any provision of a Home
Equity Loan if required by statute or a court of competent jurisdiction to do
so.
(d) The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in
the related File, an original counterpart of any agreement relating to such
modification, waiver or amendment, promptly following the execution thereof.
Section 8.14 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Home Equity Loan
(including any liquidation of such Home Equity Loan through foreclosure or
otherwise), or the receipt by the Servicer of a notification that payment in
full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee the FannieMae "Request for Release of Documents"
(FannieMae Form 2009). Upon receipt of such Request for Release of Documents,
the Trustee shall promptly release the related File, in trust, in its reasonable
discretion to (i) the Servicer, (ii) an escrow agent or (iii) any employee,
agent or attorney of the Trustee. Upon any such payment in full, or the receipt
of such notification that such funds have been placed in escrow, the Servicer is
authorized to give, as attorney-in-fact for the Trustee and the mortgagee under
the Mortgage which secured the Note, an instrument of satisfaction (or
assignment of Mortgage without recourse) regarding the Property relating to such
Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be,
shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt
therefor of payment in full, it being understood and agreed that no expense
incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as
the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Principal and Interest Account. In
lieu of executing any such satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, the
Servicer may prepare and submit to the Trustee a satisfaction (or assignment
without recourse, if requested by the Person or Persons entitled thereto) in
form for execution by the Trustee with all requisite information completed by
the Servicer; in such event, the Trustee shall execute and acknowledge such
satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, and deliver the same with the
related File, as aforesaid.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate in the servicing of
any Home Equity Loan, including, without limitation, foreclosure or other
comparable conversion of a Home Equity Loan or collection under any applicable
Insurance Policy, the Trustee shall (except in the case of the payment or
liquidation pursuant to which the related File is released to an escrow agent or
an employee, agent or attorney of the Trustee), upon request of the Servicer and
delivery to the Trustee of a receipt signed by an Authorized Officer of the
Servicer, release the related File to the Servicer and shall execute such
documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings,
including, without limitation, an assignment without recourse of the related
Mortgage to the Servicer; provided that there shall not be released and
unreturned at any one time more than 10% of the entire number of Files. Such
receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the File to the Trustee when the
need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists unless the Home Equity Loan shall
be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of the FannieMae "Liquidation
Schedule" relating to such liquidation, the receipt shall be released by the
Trustee to the Servicer.
-124-
(c) The Servicer shall have the right to accept applications
of Mortgagors for consent to (i) partial releases of Mortgages, (ii) alterations
and (iii) removal, demolition or division of properties subject to Mortgages. No
application for approval shall be considered by the Servicer unless: (x) the
provisions of the related Note and Mortgage have been complied with; (y) the
Loan-to-Value Ratio after any release does not exceed the Loan-to-Value Ratio of
such Home Equity Loan as of the date of origination thereof and any increase in
the Loan-to-Value Ratio shall not exceed 15% unless approved in writing by the
Certificate Insurer; and (z) the lien priority of the related Mortgage is not
affected. Upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officer's Certificate executed on
behalf of the Servicer setting forth the action proposed to be taken in respect
of a particular Home Equity Loan and certifying that the criteria set forth in
the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver to the Servicer the consent or partial release so requested
by the Servicer. A proposed form of consent or partial release, as the case may
be, shall accompany any Officer's Certificate delivered by the Servicer pursuant
to this paragraph. The Servicer shall notify the Certificate Insurer and the
Rating Agencies if an application is approved under clause (y) above without
approval in writing by the Certificate Insurer.
Section 8.15 Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer
shall be entitled to retain the amount of the Servicing Fee with respect to each
Home Equity Loan. Additional servicing compensation in the form of prepayment
charges, release fees, bad check charges, assumption fees, late payment charges,
prepayment penalties, or any other servicing-related fees, Net Liquidation
Proceeds not required to be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account
pursuant to Section 8.08(c)(ii) and similar items may, to the extent collected
from Mortgagors, be retained by the Servicer.
Section 8.16 Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Servicer, at its own expense, will deliver to the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and the Rating Agencies, on or
before March 31 of each year, commencing in 1999, an Officer's Certificate
stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the
Servicer during such preceding calendar year and of performance under this
Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision, and (ii) to the best
of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled
all its obligations under this Agreement for such year, or, if there has been a
default in the fulfillment of all such obligations, specifying each such default
known to such officers and the nature and status thereof including the steps
being taken by the Servicer to remedy such default.
Section 8.17 Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Reports.
On or before June 30 of any year, commencing in 1999, the
Servicer, at its own expense (or if the Trustee is then acting as Servicer, at
the expense of the Depositor, which in no event shall exceed $1,000 per annum),
shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the
Rating Agencies a letter or letters of a firm of independent, nationally
recognized certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to the Certificate
Insurer, dated as of the date
-125-
of the Servicer's fiscal audit for subsequent letters, stating that such firm
has examined the Servicer's overall servicing operations in accordance with the
requirements of the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, and
stating such firm's conclusions relating thereto.
Section 8.18 Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Home Equity Loans.
The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Certificate
Insurer, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of each of the
foregoing (which, in the case of supervisory agents and examiners, may be
required by applicable state and federal regulations) access to the
documentation regarding the Home Equity Loans, such access being afforded
without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours
at the offices of the Servicer designated by it.
Section 8.19 Assignment of Agreement.
The Servicer may not assign its obligations under this
Agreement, in whole or in part, unless it shall have first obtained the written
consent of the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that any assignee must meet the
eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8.20(i) hereof for a successor
servicer.
Section 8.20 Removal of Servicer; Resignation of Servicer.
(a) The Certificate Insurer (or Trustee with the consent of
the Certificate Insurer and acting upon the request of a majority of the
Percentage Interests of the Offered Certificates then Outstanding), may remove
the Servicer upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

of a petition filed against it in any bankruptcy, reorganization or
insolvency proceeding or (VI) take corporate action for the purpose of
effecting any of the foregoing; or
(ii) If without the application, approval or consent of the
Servicer, a proceeding shall be instituted in any court of competent
jurisdiction, under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or relief of debtors, seeking in respect of the Servicer
an order for relief or an adjudication in bankruptcy, reorganization,
dissolution, winding up, liquidation, a composition or arrangement with
creditors, a readjustment of debts, the appointment of a trustee,
receiver, liquidator or custodian or similar entity with respect to the
Servicer or of all or any substantial part of its assets, or
-126-
other like relief in respect thereof under any bankruptcy or insolvency
law, and, if such proceeding is being contested by the Servicer in good
faith, the same shall (A) result in the entry of an order for relief or
any such adjudication or appointment or (B) continue undismissed or
pending and unstayed for any period of seventy-five (75) consecutive
days; or
(iii) The Servicer shall fail to perform any one or more of
its obligations hereunder and shall continue in default thereof for a
period of thirty (30) days (one (1) Business Day in the case of a
delay in making a required payment to the Trustee under Section
8.08(d)(ii)(a)) after the earlier of (a) actual knowledge of an officer
of the Servicer or (b) receipt of notice from the Trustee or the
Certificate Insurer of said failure; provided, however, that if the
Servicer can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Certificate Insurer that it is diligently pursuing remedial action,
then the cure period may be extended with the written approval of the
Certificate Insurer; or
(iv) The Servicer shall fail to cure any breach of any of
its representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.02 which
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Owners or the
Certificate Insurer for a period of sixty (60) days after the earlier
of the Servicer's discovery or receipt of notice thereof; provided
however, that if the Servicer can demonstrate to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Certificate Insurer that it is diligently
pursuing remedial action, then the cure period may be extended with
the written approval of the Certificate Insurer; or
(v) The merger, consolidation or other combination of the
Servicer with or into any other entity, unless (1) the Servicer is
the surviving entity of such combination or (2) the surviving entity is
a corporation or a state-chartered or national bank acceptable to
the Certificate Insurer (acceptable to the Owners of the Class R
Certificates as provided below but if such Owners and the Certificate
Insurer cannot agree, the Certificate Insurer shall control) organized
and doing business under the laws of any state or the United States; or
(vi) The occurrence of a Cumulative Realized Loss Termination
Trigger.
(b) The Certificate Insurer may remove the Servicer upon the
occurrence of any of the following events:
(i) an Insured Payment is made by the Certificate Insurer;
provided, however, that in the event that the Trustee shall become
the Servicer hereunder, if the Servicer can demonstrate to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Certificate Insurer that such event
was due to circumstances beyond the control of the Servicer, the
right of removal hereunder shall not be considered a default by the
Servicer;
(ii) the failure by the Servicer to make any required
Servicing Advance when due;
-127-
(iii) Cumulative Realized Losses has exceeded 7% of the
Original Aggregate Loan Balance; provided, however, that in the event
that the Trustee shall become the Servicer hereunder, if the Servicer
can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Certificate
Insurer that such event was due to circumstances beyond the control
of the Servicer, the right of removal hereunder shall not be
considered a default by the Servicer; or
(iv) the failure by the Servicer to make any required
Delinquency Advance or to pay any Compensating Interest when due;
provided, however, that (x) prior to any removal of the Servicer by the
Certificate Insurer pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 8.20(b), the
Servicer and the Trustee shall first have been given by the Certificate Insurer
and by registered or certified mail, notice of the occurrence of one or more of
the events set forth in clause (iii) above and the Servicer shall not have
remedied, or shall not have taken actions satisfactory to the Certificate
Insurer to remedy, such event or events within 60 days after the Servicer's
receipt of such notice and (y) upon the Trustee's determination that a required
Delinquency Advance or payment of Compensating Interest has not been made by the
Servicer, the Trustee shall so notify an Authorized Officer of the Servicer, the
Owners, if any, and the Certificate Insurer as soon as is reasonably practical.
(c) If any event described in subsection (b)(iii) above
occurs and is continuing, during the thirty (30) day period following receipt of
notice, the Trustee, the Owners of the Class R Certificates and the Certificate
Insurer shall cooperate with each other to determine if the occurrence of such
event is more likely than not the result of the acts or omissions of the
Servicer or more likely than not the result of events beyond the control of the
Servicer. If the Trustee, the Owners of the Class R Certificates and the
Certificate Insurer conclude that the event is the result of the latter, the
Servicer may not be terminated, unless and until some other event set forth in
subsection (b) (i), (ii) or (iv) has occurred and is continuing. If the Trustee,
the Owners of the Class R Certificates and the Certificate Insurer conclude that
the event is the result of the former, the Certificate Insurer may terminate the
Servicer in accordance with this Section and the Trustee shall act as successor
Servicer; provided that the Trustee shall have until the 30th day following the
date of receipt of notice of the event to become the successor Servicer or to
appoint a successor Servicer pursuant to this Section.
If the Trustee, the Owners of the Class R Certificates and
the Certificate Insurer cannot agree, and the basis for such disagreement is not
arbitrary or unreasonable, as to the cause of the event, the decision of the
Certificate Insurer shall control; provided, however, that if the Certificate
Insurer decides to terminate the Servicer, the Trustee shall be relieved of its
obligation to assume the servicing or to appoint a successor, which shall be the
exclusive obligation of the Certificate Insurer.
The Certificate Insurer agrees to use its best efforts to
inform the Trustee of any materially adverse information regarding the
Servicer's servicing activities that comes to the attention of the Certificate
Insurer from time to time.
-128-
(d) If any event described in sections (a) and (b) above
(other than (b)(iii) for which Section 8.20(c) controls) occurs and is
continuing, the Certificate Insurer shall notify the Owners of the Class R
Certificates in writing if the Certificate Insurer intends to terminate the
Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement. During the 30 day
period following receipt of such notice by the Owners of the Class R
Certificates, such Owners and the Certificate Insurer shall cooperate with each
other to determine if the occurrence of such event is more likely than not the
result of the acts or omissions of the Servicer or more likely than not the
result of events beyond the control of the Servicer. If the Owners of the Class
R Certificates and the Certificate Insurer conclude that the event is the result
of the latter, the Servicer may not be terminated. If the Owners of the Class R
Certificates and the Certificate Insurer conclude that the event is the result
of the former, the Certificate Insurer may terminate the Servicer in accordance
with this Section and the Trustee shall act as successor Servicer; provided that
the Trustee shall have until the 30th day following the date of receipt of
notice of the event to become the successor Servicer or to appoint a successor
Servicer pursuant to this Section. If the Owners of the Class R Certificates and
the Certificate Insurer cannot agree as to the cause of the event, the decision
of the Certificate Insurer shall control.
(e) The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it, except upon determination that its duties hereunder
are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by
reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it, the other
activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature
carried on by the Servicer at the date of this Agreement. Any such determination
permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion
of counsel to such effect which shall be delivered to the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer, which opinion shall be at the Servicer's expense.
(f) No removal or resignation of the Servicer shall become
effective until the Trustee or a successor Servicer shall have assumed the
Servicer's responsibilities and obligations in accordance with this Section.
(g) Upon removal or resignation of the Servicer, the
Servicer at its own expense also shall promptly deliver or cause to be
delivered to a successor servicer or the Trustee all the books and records
(including, without limitation, records kept in electronic form) that the
Servicer has maintained for the Home Equity Loans, including all tax bills,
assessment notices, insurance premium notices and all other documents as well
as all original documents then in the Servicer's possession.
(h) Any collections then being held by the Servicer prior to
its removal and any collections received by the Servicer after removal or
resignation shall be endorsed by it to the Trustee and remitted directly and
immediately to the Trustee or the successor Servicer.
(i) Upon removal or resignation of the Servicer, the Trustee
(x) may solicit bids for a successor servicer as described below, and (y)
pending the appointment of a successor servicer as a result of soliciting such
bids, shall serve as Servicer. The Trustee shall, if it is unable to obtain a
qualifying bid and is prevented by law from acting as Servicer, appoint, or
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any housing and home
finance institution,
-129-
bank or mortgage servicing institution which has been designated as an approved
seller-servicer by FannieMae or Xxxxxxx Mac for first and second mortgage loans
and having equity of not less than $10,000,000 (or such lower level as may be
acceptable to the Certificate Insurer), as determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and acceptable to the Certificate
Insurer and the Owners of the Class R Certificates (provided that if the
Certificate Insurer and such Owners cannot agree as to the acceptability of such
successor Servicer, the decision of the Certificate Insurer shall control) as
the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part
of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. The
compensation of any successor Servicer (including, without limitation, the
Trustee) so appointed shall be the aggregate Servicing Fee, together with the
other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment
charges or otherwise as provided in Sections 8.08 and 8.15; provided, however,
that if the Trustee acts as successor Servicer then ContiMortgage agrees to pay
to the Trustee at such time that the Trustee becomes such successor Servicer a
set-up fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each Home Equity Loan then
included in the Trust Estate. The Trustee shall be obligated to serve as
successor Servicer whether or not the fee described in the preceding sentence is
paid by ContiMortgage, but shall in any event be entitled to receive, and to
enforce payment of, such fee from ContiMortgage.
(j) In the event the Trustee solicits bids as provided
above, the Trustee shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing
and home finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions
meeting the qualifications set forth above. Such public announcement shall
specify that the successor Servicer shall be entitled to the full amount of
the aggregate Servicing Fees as servicing compensation, together with the
other servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment
charges or otherwise as provided in Sections 8.08 and 8.15. Within thirty days
after any such public announcement, the Trustee shall negotiate and effect the
sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities
hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest satisfactory bid as to
the price they will pay to obtain servicing. The Trustee shall deduct from any
sum received by the Trustee from the successor Servicer in respect of such
sale, transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any public
announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights
and responsibilities hereunder. After such deductions, the remainder of such
sum less any amounts due the Trustee or the Trust from the Servicer shall be
paid by the Trustee to the Servicer at the time of such sale, transfer and
assignment to the successor Servicer.
(k) The Trustee and such successor shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession, including the notification to all Mortgagors of the transfer
of servicing. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and any
successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the Servicer's servicing
responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide the Trustee or
such successor Servicer, as applicable, all documents and records reasonably
requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer's functions hereunder and
shall promptly also transfer to the Trustee or such successor Servicer, as
applicable, all amounts which then have been or should have been deposited in
the Principal and Interest Account by the Servicer or which are thereafter
received with respect to the Home Equity Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any
other successor Servicer shall be held liable by reason of any failure to make,
or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused
by (i) the failure of the Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash,
documents or records
-130-
to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over the Servicer. If the Servicer resigns or is replaced
hereunder, the Seller agrees to reimburse the Trust, the Certificate Insurer and
the Owners for the costs and expenses associated with the transfer of servicing
to the replacement Servicer, but subject to a maximum reimbursement to all such
parties in the amount of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each Home Equity Loan
then included in the Trust Estate.
(l) The Trustee or any other successor Servicer, upon
assuming the duties of Servicer hereunder, shall immediately make all
Delinquency Advances and deposit them to the Principal and Interest Account
which the Servicer has theretofore failed to remit with respect to the Home
Equity Loans; provided, however, that if the Trustee is acting as successor
Servicer, the Trustee shall only be required to make Delinquency Advances
(including the Delinquency Advances described in this clause (l)) if, in the
Trustee's reasonable good faith judgment, such Delinquency Advances will
ultimately be recoverable from the Home Equity Loans.
(m) The Servicer which is being removed or is resigning
shall give notice to the Mortgagors, the Certificate Insurer and the Rating
Agencies of the transfer of the servicing to the successor Servicer.
The Trustee shall give notice to the Owners, the Trustee,
the Seller, the Certificate Insurer and the Rating Agencies of the occurrence
of any event described in paragraphs (a) or (b) above of which the Trustee is
aware.
Section 8.21 Inspections by Certificate Insurer; Errors and Omissions
Insurance.
At any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
notice, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer or any agents thereof may inspect
the Servicer's servicing operations and discuss the servicing operations of
the Servicer during the Servicer's normal business hours with any of its
officers or directors; provided, however, that the costs and expenses incurred
by the Servicer or its agents or representatives in connection with any such
examinations or discussions shall be paid by the Servicer;
The Servicer agrees to maintain errors and omissions
coverage and a fidelity bond, each at least to the extent required by Section
305 of Part I of the FannieMae Guide or any successor provision thereof;
provided, however, that if the Trustee shall become the Servicer, any customary
insurance coverage that the Trustee maintains shall be deemed sufficient
hereunder; provided, further, that in the event that the fidelity bond or the
errors and omissions coverage is no longer in effect, the Trustee shall promptly
give such notice to the Certificate Insurer and the Owners. Upon the request of
the Trustee or the Certificate Insurer, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered
to such requesting Person a certified true copy of such fidelity bond or errors
and omission policy.

the Code and (ii) provide to the Trustee an opinion of counsel experienced in
federal income tax matters acceptable to the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee

and the Trustee either shall sell the Home Equity Loans and distribute the
proceeds of the liquidation of the Trust Estate, or shall distribute equitably
in kind all of the assets of the Trust Estate to the remaining Owners of the
Certificates each in accordance with such plan, so that the liquidation or
distribution of the Trust Estate, the distribution of any proceeds of the
liquidation and the termination of this Agreement occur no later than the close

Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of Saint Xxxxx,
living on the date hereof. The Trustee shall give written notice of termination
of the Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth in Section 11.05.
Section 9.02 Termination Upon Option of Owners of Class R-I
Certificates.
On any Monthly Remittance Date on or after the Clean-Up Call
Date, the Owners of a majority of the Percentage Interests represented by the
Class R-I Certificates then outstanding or, in the absence of a determination by
such Owners, the Certificate Insurer may determine to purchase and may cause the
purchase from the Trust of all (but not fewer than all) Home Equity Loans and
all property theretofore acquired in respect of any Home Equity Loan by
foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise then remaining in the
Trust Estate (i) on terms agreed upon between the Certificate Insurer and the
Owners of such Class R-I Certificates, or (ii) in the absence of such an
agreement, at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate Loan Balances of the
related Home Equity Loans as of the day of purchase minus amounts remitted from
the Principal and Interest Account to the Certificate Account representing
collections of principal on the Home Equity Loans during the current Remittance
Period, plus one month's interest on such amount computed at the Termination
Date Pass-Through Rate, plus all accrued
-132-
and unpaid Servicing Fees plus the aggregate amount of any unreimbursed
Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances and any Delinquency Advances which

Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of and accrued and unpaid interest on
all Classes of outstanding Class A Trust and Class B Certificates plus any
amounts due and owing the Certificate Insurer under the Insurance Agreement. In
connection with such purchase, the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee all

Certificate Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately
preceding such purchase.
In connection with any such purchase, such Owners of the

Certificate Insurer to the effect that such purchase and liquidations
constitutes, as to the REMIC, a Qualified Liquidation. In addition, such
Owners of the Class R-I Certificates shall provide to the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer to the effect that such purchase and liquidation does not
constitute a preference payment pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code.
The purchase option reserved to the Owners of a majority of
the Percentage Interests represented by the Class R-I Certificates may be
exercised by the Certificate Insurer if (i) not exercised by such owners and
(ii) the Servicer as of the Closing Date is no longer the Servicer hereunder.
Promptly following any purchase described in this Section
9.02, the Trustee will release the Files to the Owners of such Class R-I
Certificates or the Certificate Insurers, as the case may be, or otherwise
upon their order, in a manner similar to that described in Section 8.14
hereof.

Service or by a court of competent jurisdiction, in either case from which no
appeal is taken within the permitted time for such appeal or, if any appeal is
taken, following a final determination of such appeal from which no further
appeal can be taken, to the effect that any REMIC in the Trust does not and
will no longer qualify as a REMIC pursuant to Section 860D of the Code (the
"Final Determination"), at any time on or after the date which is 30 calendar
days following such Final Determination (i) the Certificate Insurer or the
Owners of a majority in Percentage Interests represented by the Class A Trust
and Class B Certificates then Outstanding may direct the Trustee on behalf of
the Trust to adopt a plan of complete liquidation, as contemplated by Section
860F(a)(4) of the Code and (ii) the Certificate Insurer may notify the Trustee
of the Certificate Insurer's determination to purchase from the Trust all (but
not fewer than all) Home Equity Loans and all property theretofore acquired by
foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise then remaining in
-133-
the Trust Estate at a price equal to the sum of (x) the greater of (i) 100% of
the aggregate Loan Balances of the Home Equity Loans as of the day of purchase
minus amounts remitted from the Principal and Interest Account representing
collections of principal on the Home Equity Loans during the current Remittance
Period, and (ii) the fair market value of such Home Equity Loans (disregarding
accrued interest), (y) one month's interest on such amount computed at the
Adjusted Pass-Through Rate and (z) the aggregate amount of any unreimbursed
Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances and any Delinquency Advances which
the Servicer has theretofore failed to remit.
Upon receipt of such direction from the Certificate Insurer,
the Trustee shall notify the Owners of the Residual Certificates of such
election to liquidate or such determination to purchase, as the case may be (the
"Termination Notice"). The Owners of a majority of the Percentage Interests of
the Class R-I Certificates then Outstanding may, within 60 days from the date of
receipt of the Termination Notice (the "Purchase Option Period"), at their
option, purchase from the Trust all (but not fewer than all) Home Equity Loans
and all property theretofore acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of
foreclosure, or otherwise then remaining in the Trust Estate at a purchase price
equal to the aggregate Loan Balances of all Home Equity Loans as of the date of
such purchase, plus (a) one month's interest on such amount at the Termination
Date Pass-Through Rate, (b) the aggregate amount of any unreimbursed Delinquency
Advances and Servicing Advances and (c) any Delinquency Advances which the
Servicer has theretofore failed to remit. If, during the Purchase Option Period,
the Owners of the Class R-I Certificates have not exercised the option described
in the immediately preceding sentence, then upon the expiration of the Purchase
Option Period in the event that the Certificate Insurer or the Owners of the
Class A Certificates with the consent of the Certificate Insurer have given the
Trustee the direction described in clause (a)(i) above, the Trustee shall sell
the Home Equity Loans and distribute the proceeds of the liquidation of the
Trust Estate, each in accordance with the plan of complete liquidation, such
that, if so directed, the liquidation of the Trust Estate, the distribution of
the proceeds of the liquidation and the termination of this Agreement occur no
later than the close of the 60th day, or such later day as the Certificate
Insurer or the Owners of the Class A Certificates with the consent of the
Certificate Insurer shall permit or direct in writing, after the expiration of
the Purchase Option Period and (ii) in the event that the Certificate Insurer
has given the Trustee notice of the Certificate Insurer's determination to
purchase the Trust Estate described in clause (a)(ii) above the Certificate
Insurer shall, within 60 days, purchase all (but not fewer than all) Home Equity
Loans and all property theretofore acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise then remaining in the Trust Estate. In connection with
such purchase, the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee all amounts then on
deposit in the Principal and Interest Account for deposit to the Certificate
Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately preceding
such purchase.
Following a Final Determination, the Owners of a majority of
the Percentage Interests of the Class R-I Certificates then Outstanding may,
at their option and upon delivery to the Certificate Insurer of an opinion of
counsel experienced in federal income tax matters acceptable to the Certificate
Insurer selected by the Owners of the Class R-I Certificates, which opinion
shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Certificate
Insurer, to the effect that the effect of the Final Determination is to increase
substantially the probability that the gross income of the Trust will be subject
to federal taxation, purchase from the Trust all (but not
-134-
fewer than all) Home Equity Loans and all property theretofore acquired by
foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise then remaining in the
Trust Estate at a purchase price equal to the aggregate Loan Balances of all
Home Equity Loans as of the date of such purchase, plus (a) one month's interest
on such amount computed at the Termination Date Pass-Through Rate, (b) the
aggregate amount of unreimbursed Delinquency Advances and (c) any Delinquency
Advances which the Servicer has theretofore failed to remit. In connection with
such purchase, the Servicer shall remit to the Trustee all amounts then on
deposit in the Principal and Interest Account for deposit to the Certificate
Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately preceding
such purchase. The foregoing opinion shall be deemed satisfactory unless the
Certificate Insurer gives the Owners of a majority of the Percentage Interests
of the Class R-I Certificates notice that such opinion is not satisfactory
within thirty days after receipt of such opinion. In connection with any such
purchase, such Owners shall direct the Trustee to adopt a plan of complete
liquidation as contemplated by Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code and shall provide
to the Trustee an opinion of counsel experienced in federal income tax matters
to the effect that such purchase constitutes a Qualified Liquidation.
Section 9.04 Disposition of Proceeds.
The Trustee shall, upon receipt thereof, deposit the
proceeds of any liquidation of the Trust Estate pursuant to this Article IX to
the Certificate Account; provided, however, that any amounts representing
unreimbursed Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances theretofore funded by
the Servicer from the Servicer's own funds shall be paid by the Trustee to the
Servicer from the proceeds of the Trust Estate.

successor trustee or trustees acceptable to the Certificate Insurer by written
instrument, in duplicate, executed on behalf of the Trust by an Authorized
Officer of ContiMortgage, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the

may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor trustee, or any Owner may, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor
trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem

appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, signed by the
Certificate Insurer duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall
be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and
one complete set to the successor Trustee so appointed.
(f) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee
for any cause, ContiMortgage shall promptly appoint a successor trustee
acceptable to the Certificate Insurer. If within one year after such
resignation, removal or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a
successor trustee shall be appointed by act of the Certificate Insurer or the
Owners of a majority of the Percentage Interests represented by the Class A
Certificates then Outstanding with the consent of the Certificate Insurer, the
successor trustee so appointed shall forthwith upon its acceptance of such
appointment become the successor trustee and supersede the successor trustee
appointed by the Depositor. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed
by the Depositor or the Owners and shall have accepted appointment in the manner
hereinafter provided, any Owner may, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice,
if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.
-142-

names and addresses appear in the Register. Each notice shall include the name
of the successor Trustee and the address of its corporate trust office.
Section 10.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee.
Every successor trustee appointed hereunder shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor on behalf of the Trust and to its
predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and
stating its eligibility to serve as Trustee 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 vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder; but, on request of the Depositor or the successor
Trustee, such predecessor Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges then
unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee
all of the rights, powers and trusts of the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and
money held by such Trustee so ceasing to act hereunder. Upon request of any such
successor trustee, the Depositor on behalf of the Trust shall execute any and
all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such
successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as
provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice thereof by first-class
mail, postage prepaid, to the Owners at their last addresses appearing upon the
Register. The Depositor shall send a copy of such notice to the Rating Agencies.
If the Depositor 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 Trust.
No successor trustee shall accept its appointment unless at
the time of such acceptance such successor shall be qualified and eligible
under this Article X.
Section 10.11 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business of the Trustee.
Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or
association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to all or
substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper
or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, however,
that such corporation or association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible
under this Article X. In case any Certificates have been executed, but not
delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion
or consolidation to such Trustee may adopt such execution and deliver the
Certificates so executed with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had
itself executed such Certificates.
-143-

any, applicable to distributions to the Owners, including but not limited to

respect to such allocation of expenses. The Trustee shall, upon request of the
Depositor, collect any forms or reports from the Owners determined by the

(c) The Depositor covenants and agrees that it shall provide
to the Trustee any information necessary to enable the Trustee to meet its
obligations under subsections (a) and (b) above.

the responsibility for preparation of all returns, forms, reports and other
documents referred to in this Section and the Trustee's responsibility shall
be to execute such documents.
Section 10.13 Liability of the Trustee.
The Trustee shall be liable in accordance herewith only to
the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by
the Trustee herein. Neither the Trustee nor any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of the Trustee shall be under any liability on any
Certificate or otherwise to the Depositor, either of the Sellers, the Servicer,
the Certificate Insurer or any Owner 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
Trustee, its directors, officers, employees or agents or any such Person against
any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of negligent action,
negligent failure to act or willful misconduct in the performance of duties or
by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Subject
to the foregoing sentence, the Trustee shall not be liable for losses on
investments of amounts in the Certificate Account (except for any losses on
obligations on which the bank serving as Trustee is the obligor). In addition,
the Depositor, each of the Sellers and Servicer covenant and agree to indemnify
the Trustee, and when the Trustee is acting as Servicer, the Servicer, from, and
hold it harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or
expenses (including legal fees and
-144-
expenses) of whatsoever kind arising out of or in connection with the
performance of its duties hereunder other than those resulting from the
negligence or bad faith of the Trustee, and the Depositor shall pay all amounts
not otherwise paid pursuant to Sections 2.05 and 7.06 hereof. The Trustee and
any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee may rely and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith on any certificate,
notice or other document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted

hereunder. The provisions of this Section 10.13 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.
Section 10.14 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 Estate or Property may at the time be located,
the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by
the Trustee and reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Insurer to act as
co-Trustee or co-Trustees, jointly with the Trustee, of all or any part of the
Trust Estate or separate Trustee or separate Trustees of any part of the Trust
Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Owners, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.14, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider
necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such
appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in
the case any event indicated in Section 8.20(a) shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee subject to reasonable approval of the Certificate
Insurer 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 10.08 and no notice to Owners of the
appointment of any co-Trustee or separate Trustee shall be required under
Section 10.09.
Every separate Trustee and co-Trustee shall, to the extent
permitted, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate Trustee or
co-Trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate Trustee or
co-Trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee
joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed
(whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer
hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties
and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate
or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised
and performed singly by such separate Trustee or co-Trustee, but
solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) No co-Trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable
by reason of any act or omission of any other co-Trustee hereunder; and
-145-
(iii) The Servicer, the Certificate Insurer 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 Section 10.14. Each separate Trustee and co-Trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions
of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement
relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection
to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a
copy thereof given to the Servicer.
Any separate Trustee or co-Trustee may, at any time,
constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate Trustee
or co-Trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor Trustee.
The Servicer and the Trustee hereby appoint First Union
National Bank (the "Initial Co-Trustee") as co-trustee with respect to the
Mortgage Loans secured by Mortgaged Properties situated in New Jersey and any
other part of the Trust Estate or property securing the same that at any time
may be situated in New Jersey.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 11.01 Compliance Certificates and Opinions.
Upon any application or request by the Depositor, the
Seller, the Certificate Insurer or the Owners to the Trustee to take any action
under any provision of this Agreement, the Depositor, either of the Sellers, the
Certificate Insurer or the Owners, as the case may be, shall furnish to the
Trustee a certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided
for in this Agreement relating to the proposed action have been complied with,
except that in the case of any such application or request as to which the
furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this
Agreement relating to such particular application or request, no additional
certificate need be furnished.
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each
certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant
provided for in this Agreement (including one furnished pursuant to specific
requirements of this Agreement relating to a particular application or
request) shall include:
(a) a statement that each individual signing such
certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions
herein relating thereto;
(b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the
examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained
in such certificate or opinion are based; and
(c) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such
individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.
Section 11.02 Form of Documents Delivered to the Trustee.
In any case where several matters are required to be
certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not
necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of,
only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one
document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to
some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any
such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several
documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the
Trustee may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate
or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such Authorized Officer
knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate
or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his
certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion
of an Authorized Officer of the Trustee or any opinion of counsel may be based,
insofar as it relates to factual matters upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, one or more Authorized Officers of the Depositor, either
of the Sellers or the Servicer, stating that the information with respect to
-147-
such factual matters is in the possession of the Depositor, such Seller or the
Servicer, unless such Authorized Officer or counsel knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any opinion of counsel may also be
based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion
of, or representations by, an Authorized Officer of the Trustee, stating that
the information with respect to such matters is in the possession of the
Trustee, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should
know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such
matters are erroneous. Any opinion of counsel may be based on the written
opinion of other counsel, in which event such opinion of counsel shall be
accompanied by a copy of such other counsel's opinion and shall include a
statement to the effect that such counsel believes that such counsel and the
Trustee may reasonably rely upon the opinion of such other counsel.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or
more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or
other instruments under this Agreement, they may, but need not, be consolidated
and form one instrument.
Section 11.03 Acts of Owners.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken
by the Owners may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Owners in person or by agent duly
appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered
to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to one or both of
the Sellers. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "act" of the Owners
signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Trust,
if made in the manner provided in this Section.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any
such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized
by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever
such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on
behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall
also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.
(c) The ownership of Certificates shall be proved by the
Register.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action by the Owner of any Certificate shall bind the
Owner of every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or
in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted
or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Trust in reliance thereon,
whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificates.
-148-
Section 11.04 Notices, etc. to Trustee.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or act of the Owners or other documents provided or permitted
by this Agreement to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with the
Trustee by any Owner, the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer or either of the
Sellers shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given,
furnished or filed in writing to or with and received by the Trustee at the
Corporate Trust Office.
Section 11.05 Notices and Reports to Owners; Waiver of Notices.
Where this Agreement provides for notice to Owners of any
event or the mailing of any report to Owners, such notice or report shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each Owner affected by such event or to whom
such report is required to be mailed, at the address of such Owner as it appears
on the Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the
earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or the mailing of such
report. In any case where a notice or report to Owners is mailed in the manner
provided above, neither the failure to mail such notice or report nor any defect
in any notice or report so mailed to any particular Owner shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice or report with respect to other Owners, and any
notice or report which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given or provided. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Servicer is removed or resigns or the Trust is terminated,
notice of any such events shall be made by overnight courier, registered mail or
telecopy followed by a telephone call.
Where this Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such
notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice,
either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of
such notice. Waivers of notice by Owners shall be filed with the Trustee, but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action
taken in reliance upon such waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service
as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be
impractical to mail notice of any event to Owners when such notice is required
to be given pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, then any manner of
giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to
be a sufficient giving of such notice.
Where this Agreement provides for notice to any rating
agency that rated any Certificates, failure to give such notice shall not affect
any other rights or obligations created hereunder.
Section 11.06 Rules by Trustee.
The Trustee may make reasonable rules for any meeting of
Owners.
-149-
Section 11.07 Successors and Assigns.
All covenants and agreements in this Agreement by any party
hereto shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.
Section 11.08 Severability.
In case any provision in this Agreement or in the
Certificates shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way
be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 11.09 Benefits of Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement or in the Certificates, expressed
or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the Owners, the Certificate
Insurer and the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any benefit or
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.
Section 11.10 Legal Holidays.
In any case where the date of any Monthly Remittance Date,
any Payment Date, any other date on which any distribution to any Owner is
proposed to be paid, or any date on which a notice is required to be sent to any
Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be a Business Day, then
(notwithstanding any other provision of the Certificates or this Agreement)
payment or mailing need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made or mailed on
the nominal date of any such Monthly Remittance Date, such Payment Date, or such
other date for the payment of any distribution to any Owner or the mailing of
such notice, as the case may be, and no interest shall accrue for the period
from and after any such nominal date, provided such payment is made in full on
such next succeeding Business Day.
Section 11.11 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.
(a) In view of the fact that Owners are expected to reside
in many states and outside the United States and the desire to establish with
certainty that this Agreement will be governed by and construed and interpreted
in accordance with the law of a state having a well-developed body of commercial
and financial law relevant to transactions of the type contemplated herein, this
Agreement and each Certificate shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and
to be performed therein, without giving effect to the conflicts of law
principles thereof.
(b) The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York and any court in the State of New York located in the City and County
of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action, suit or
proceeding brought against it or in connection with this Agreement or any of the
related documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder or for recognition
or enforcement of any judgment, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally
-150-
agree that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard
or determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law,
in such federal court. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any
such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto hereby waive and
agree not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise in any such
suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of such courts, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in
an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is
improper or that the related documents or the subject matter thereof may not be
litigated in or by such courts.
(c) Each of the Depositor, the Sellers and the Servicer
hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the Trustee as its true and lawful
attorney and duly authorized agent for acceptance of service of legal process
with respect to any action, suit or proceeding set forth in paragraph (b)
hereof. Each of the Sellers and the Servicer agrees that service of such process
upon the Trustee shall constitute personal service of such process upon it.
(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or
affect the right of the Depositor, the Seller, the Certificate Insurer or the
Servicer or any third-party beneficiary hereunder, as the case may be, to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law or to start legal proceedings
relating to any of the Home Equity Loans against any Mortgagor in the courts of
any jurisdiction.
Section 11.12 Counterparts.
This instrument may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but
all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.
Section 11.13 Usury.
The amount of interest payable or paid on any Certificate
under the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to an amount which shall
not exceed the maximum nonusurious rate of interest allowed by the applicable
laws of the State of New York or any applicable law of the United States
permitting a higher maximum nonusurious rate that preempts such applicable New
York laws, which could lawfully be contracted for, charged or received (the
"Highest Lawful Rate"). In the event any payment of interest on any Certificate
exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Trust stipulates that such excess amount
will be deemed to have been paid to the Owner of such Certificate as a result of
an error on the part of the Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust and the Owner
receiving such excess payment shall promptly, upon discovery of such error or
upon notice thereof from the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, refund the amount
of such excess or, at the option of such Owner, apply the excess to the payment
of principal of such Certificate, if any, remaining unpaid. In addition, all
sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of Owners of
Certificates for the use, forbearance or detention of money shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread
throughout the full term of such Certificates.
-151-
Section 11.14 Amendment.
(a) The Trustee, the Depositor, either of the Sellers and
the Servicer may, at any time and from time to time, and without notice to or
the consent of the Owners but with the consent of the Certificate Insurer
amend this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 11.16 and 11.17 and
the Trustee shall consent to such amendment, for the purpose of (i) curing any
ambiguity, correcting or supplementing any provision hereof which may be
inconsistent with any other provision hereof, or adding provisions hereto which
are not inconsistent with the provisions hereof; (ii) upon receipt of an opinion
of counsel experienced in federal income tax matters to the effect that no
entity-level tax will be imposed on the Trust or upon the transferor of a
Residual Certificate as a result of the ownership of any Residual Certificate by
a Disqualified Organization, removing the restriction on transfer set forth in
Section 5.08(b) hereof or (iii) complying with the requirements of the Code and
the regulations proposed or promulgated thereunder including any amendments
necessary to maintain REMIC status or (iv) for any other purpose, provided that
in the case of this clause (iv) such amendment shall not adversely affect in any
material respect any Owner. Any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely
affect in any material respect any Owner if there is delivered to the Trustee
written notification from each Rating Agency that such amendment will not cause
such Rating Agency to reduce its then current rating assigned to the Class A
Certificates without regard to the Certificate Insurance Policies.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such amendment shall (a)
change in any manner the amount of, or change the timing of, payments which are
required to be distributed to any Owner without the consent of the Owner of such
Certificate, or (b) which affects in any manner the terms or provisions of the
Certificate Insurance Policies.
(b) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the
Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment
to the Certificate Insurer and each Owner in the manner set forth in Section
11.05, and to the Rating Agencies.
(c) The Rating Agencies shall be provided with copies of any
amendments to this Agreement, together with copies of any opinions or other
documents or instruments executed in connection therewith.
Section 11.15 Paying Agent; Appointment and Acceptance of Duties.
The Trustee is hereby appointed Paying Agent. The Depositor
may, subject to the eligibility requirements for the Trustee set forth in
Section 10.08 hereof, appoint one or more other Paying Agents or successor
Paying Agents.
Each Paying Agent, immediately upon such appointment, shall
signify its acceptance of the duties and obligations imposed upon it by this
Agreement by written instrument of acceptance deposited with the Trustee.
Each such Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall execute
and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall
agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.02, that such
Paying Agent will:
-152-
(a) allocate all sums received for distribution to the
Owners of Certificates of each Class for which it is acting as Paying Agent on
each Payment Date among such Owners in the proportion specified by the
Trustee; and
(b) hold all sums held by it for the distribution of amounts
due with respect to the Certificates in trust for the benefit of the Owners
entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Owners or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein
provided.
Any Paying Agent other than the Trustee may at any time
resign and be discharged of the duties and obligations created by this
Agreement by giving at least sixty (60) days written notice to the Trustee.
Any such Paying Agent may be removed at any time by an instrument filed with
such Paying Agent and signed by the Trustee.
In the event of the resignation or removal of any Paying
Agent other than the Trustee such Paying Agent shall pay over, assign and
deliver any moneys held by it as Paying Agent to its successor, or if there be
no successor, to the Trustee.
Upon the appointment, removal or notice of resignation of
any Paying Agent, the Trustee shall notify the Certificate Insurer and the
Owners by mailing notice thereof at their addresses appearing on the Register.
Section 11.16 REMIC Status.
(a) The parties hereto intend that each REMIC shall
constitute, and that the affairs of each REMIC shall be conducted so as to
qualify it as a REMIC in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance
of such intention, ContiFunding Corporation or such other person designated
pursuant to Section 11.18 hereof shall act as agent for the Trust and as "tax
matters person" (as defined in the REMIC Provisions) for the Trust and in such
capacity it shall: (i) prepare or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely
manner, annual tax returns and any other tax return required to be filed by
each REMIC established hereunder using a calendar year as the taxable year for
each REMIC established hereunder; (ii) in the related first such tax return,
make (or cause to be made) an election satisfying the requirements of the
REMIC Provisions, on behalf of each REMIC, for it to be treated as a REMIC;
(iii) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the
Owners all information, reports or tax returns required with respect to each
REMIC as, when and in the form required to be provided to the Owners, and to
the Internal Revenue Service and any other relevant governmental taxing
authority in accordance with the REMIC Provisions and any other applicable
federal, state or local laws, including without limitation information reports
relating to "original issue discount" as defined in the Code based upon the
prepayment assumption and calculated by using the "issue price" (within the
meaning of Section 1273 of the Code) of the Certificates of the related Class;
(iv) not take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the
termination of the REMIC status of a REMIC, except as provided under this
Agreement; (v) represent the Trust or a REMIC in any administrative or
judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental
taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to a taxable year of
the Trust or a REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental
taxing agency, extend any
-153-
statute of limitations relating to any tax item of the Trust or a REMIC, and
otherwise act on behalf of the Trust or a REMIC therein in relation to any tax
matter involving the Trust or the REMIC therein; (vi) comply with all statutory
or regulatory requirements with regard to its conduct of activities pursuant to
the foregoing clauses of this Section 11.16, including, without limitation,
providing all notices and other information to the Internal Revenue Service and
Owners of Residual Certificates required of a "tax matters person" pursuant to
subtitle F of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder; (vii) make
available information necessary for the computation of any tax imposed (A) on
transferors of residual interests to certain Disqualified Organizations or (B)
on pass-through entities, any interest in which is held by or treated as held by
a Disqualified Organization; and (viii) acquire and hold the Tax Matters Person
Residual Interest. The obligations of ContiFunding Corporation or such other
designated Tax Matters Person pursuant to this Section 11.16 shall survive the
termination or discharge of this Agreement.
(b) Each of the Sellers, the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Servicer covenant and agree for the benefit of the Owners and the Certificate
Insurer (i) to take no action which would result in the termination of "REMIC"
status for a REMIC, (ii) not to engage in any "prohibited transaction," as
such term is defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, (iii) not to engage in
any other action which may result in the imposition on the Trust of any other
taxes under the Code and (iv) to cause the Servicer not to take or engage in
any such action, to the extent the Sellers are aware of any such proposed
action by the Servicer.
(c) Each REMIC shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books on a calendar year basis and report income on an accrual basis.
(d) Except as otherwise permitted by Section 7.05(b), no
Eligible Investment shall be sold prior to its stated maturity (unless sold
pursuant to a plan of liquidation in accordance with Article IX hereof).
(e) Neither the Depositor, either of the Sellers nor the
Trustee shall enter into any arrangement by which the Trustee will receive a
fee or other compensation for services rendered pursuant to this Agreement,
other than as expressly contemplated by this Agreement.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (d) and (e),
neither the Trustee nor either of the Sellers may engage in any of the
transactions prohibited by such clauses, unless the Trustee shall have
received an opinion of counsel experienced in federal income tax matters
acceptable to the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee to the effect that such
transaction does not result in a tax imposed on the Trustee or cause a
termination of REMIC status for a REMIC; provided, however, that such
transaction is otherwise permitted under this Agreement.
(g) The Servicer and Tax Matters Person agree to indemnify
the Trust for any tax imposed on the Trust or a REMIC as a result of their
negligence.
-154-
Section 11.17 Additional Limitation on Action and Imposition of Tax.
Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee shall not, without having obtained an opinion of
counsel experienced in federal income tax matters acceptable to the
Certificate Insurer to the effect that such transaction does not result in a
tax imposed on the Trust or a REMIC or cause a termination of REMIC status for
a REMIC, (i) sell any assets in the Trust Estate, (ii) accept any contribution
of assets after the Startup Day or (iii) agree to any modification of this
Agreement. To the extent that sufficient amounts cannot be so retained to pay
or provide for the payment of such tax, the Trustee is hereby authorized to
and shall segregate, into a separate non-interest bearing account, the net
income from any such Prohibited Transactions of a REMIC and use such income,
to the extent necessary, to pay such tax; provided that, to the extent that
any such income is paid to the Internal Revenue Service, the Trustee shall
retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the
Owners of Class R Certificates and shall distribute such retained amounts to
the Owners of Offered Certificates to the extent they are fully reimbursed and
then to the Owners of the Class R Certificates. If any tax, including interest
penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed
on the Trust, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise
distributable to the owners of the Class R Certificates on a pro rata basis.
The Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall retain from amounts otherwise
distributable to the Owners of the Class R Certificates sufficient funds to
pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is legally
owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Trustee from
contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of
such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings).
Section 11.18 Appointment of Tax Matters Person.
A Tax Matters Person will be appointed for each REMIC for
all purposes of the Code and such Tax Matters Person will perform, or cause to
be performed, such duties and take, or cause to be taken, such actions as are
required to be performed or taken by the Tax Matters Person under the Code.
The Tax Matters Person for each REMIC shall be ContiFunding Corporation as
long as it owns a Class R-I, Class R-II or Class R Certificate. If
ContiFunding Corporation does not own a Class R-I, Class R-II or Class R
Certificate, as the case may be, the Tax Matters Person may be any other
entity that owns such a Class R-I, Class R-II or Class R Certificate and
accepts a designation hereunder as Tax Matters person by delivering an
affidavit in the form of Exhibit I. ContiFunding Corporation shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the name and address of another person who accepts a
designation as Tax Matters Person hereunder.
Section 11.19 The Certificate Insurer.
Any right conferred to the Certificate Insurer hereunder
shall be suspended and shall run to the benefit of the Owners during any
period in which the Certificate Insurer is in default in its payment
obligations under the Certificate Insurance Policies. At such time as the
Class A Certificates and any Reimbursement Amounts are no longer Outstanding
hereunder, the Certificate Insurer's rights hereunder shall terminate.
-155-
Section 11.20 Reserved.
Section 11.21 Third Party Rights.
The Trustee, each of the Sellers, the Depositor and the
Owners agree that the Certificate Insurer shall be deemed a third-party
beneficiary of this Agreement as if it were a party hereto.

in Schedules I-A, I-B and I-C to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which
each Seller has caused to be delivered to the Depositor and the Depositor has
caused to be delivered to the Trustee (and all substitutions therefor as

Agreement), together with the related Home Equity Loan documents and each
Sellers' interest in any Property which secured a Home Equity Loan but which

the foregoing; (b) such amounts as may be held by the Trustee in the
Certificate Account together with investment earnings on such amounts and such

otherwise provided herein), whether in the form of cash, instruments,

The Owner hereof is entitled to principal payments on each
Payment Date, as hereinafter described, which will fully amortize such
original Certificate Principal Balance over the period from the date of
initial issuance of the Certificates to the final Payment Date for the Class
A-1 Certificates. Therefore, the actualOutstanding principal amount of this
Certificate may, on any date subsequent to October 15, 1998 (the first Payment
Date) be less than the original Certificate Principal Balance set forth above.
Upon receiving the final distribution hereon, the Owner
hereof is required to send this Certificate to the Trustee. The Pooling and
Servicing Agreement (as defined below) provides that, in any event, upon the
making of the final distribution due on this Certificate, this Certificate
shall be deemed cancelled for all purposes under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING HOME EQUITY
LOANS ARE INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION,
THE GOVERNMENT NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY.
THE PRINCIPAL OF THIS CERTIFICATE IS PAYABLE IN
INSTALLMENTS. THEREFORE, THE ACTUAL OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS
CERTIFICATE MAY ON ANY DATE SUBSEQUENT TO OCTOBER 15, 1998 (THE FIRST
PAYMENT DATE) BE LESS THAN ITS ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE PRINCIPAL BALANCE.
THIS CERTIFICATE IS A PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE ONLY AND,
NOTWITHSTANDING REFERENCES HEREIN TO PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST, NO DEBT OF ANY
PERSON IS REPRESENTED HEREBY.
This Certificate is one of a Class of duly-authorized
Certificates designated as ContiMortgage Home Equity Loan Trust 1998-3, Home
Equity Loan Pass-Through Certificates, Class A-1 (the "Class A-1
Certificates") and issued under and subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of that certain Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of
September 1, 1998 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement") by and among
ContiMortgage Corporation, in its capacity as a Seller (a "Seller") and as the
Servicer (the "Servicer"), ContiWest Corporation, in its capacity as a Seller
(a "Seller"), ContiSecurities Asset Funding Corp., in its capacity as
Depositor, (the "Depositor") and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, a
New York banking corporation, in its capacity as the Trustee (the "Trustee"),
to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement the Owner of this Certificate by
virtue of acceptance hereof assents and by which such Owner is bound. Also
issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are Certificates designated
as ContiMortgage Home Equity Loan Trust 1998-3 Home Equity Loan Pass-Through
Certificates, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-6, Class
A-7, Class A-8, Class A-9, Class A-10, Class A-11, Class A-12 Internal, Class
A-13 Internal, Class A-14 Internal, Class A-15 Internal, Class A-16 Internal,

(collectively, including the Class A-1 Certificates, the "Class A
Certificates"), Class B-I and Class B-II (the "Class B Certificates" and
collectively with the Class A Certificates, the "Offered Certificates"), Class
C (the "Class C Certificates"), Class R (the "Class R Certificates"), Class
R-I (the "Class R-I Certificates") and Class R-II (the "Class R-II
Certificates and collectively, with the Class R and Class R-I Certificates,
the "Residual Certificates"). The Offered Certificates, Class C Certificates
and the Residual Certificates are together referred to herein as the
"Certificates." Terms capitalized herein and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
On the 15th day of each month, or, if such day is not a
Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day (each such day being a
"Payment Date") commencing October 15, 1998, the Owners of the Class A-1
Certificates as of the close of business on the last day of the calendar month
immediately preceding the calendar month in which a Payment Date occurs (the
"Record Date") will be entitled to receive the Class A-1 Distribution Amount
relating to such Certificate on such Payment Date. Distributions will be made
in immediately available funds to Owners of Certificates having an aggregate
original Class A-1 Certificate Principal Balance of at least $1,000,000 (by
wire transfer or otherwise) to the account of an Owner at a domestic bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Owner has so
notified the Trustee, or by check mailed to the address of the person entitled
thereto as it appears on the Register.
Each Owner of record of a Class A-1 Certificate will be
entitled to receive such Owner's Percentage Interest in the amounts due on
such Payment Date to the Owners of the Class A-1 Certificates. The Percentage
Interest of each Class A-1 Certificate as of any date of determination will be
equal to the percentage obtained by dividing the original Certificate
Principal Balance of such Class A-1 Certificate on the Startup Day by the
aggregate Class A-1 Certificate Principal Balance on the Startup Day.
The Trustee or any duly-appointed Paying Agent will duly and
punctually pay distributions with respect to this Certificate in accordance
with the terms hereof and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Amounts
properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a distribution to any
Owner shall be considered as having been paid by the Trustee to such Owner for
all purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Home Equity Loans will be serviced by the Servicer
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement permits the Servicer to enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with
certain institutions eligible for appointment as Sub-Servicers for the
servicing and administration of certain Home Equity Loans. No appointment of
any Sub-Servicer shall release the Servicer from any of its obligations under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate does not represent a deposit or other
obligation of, or an interest in, nor are the underlying Home Equity Loans
insured or guaranteed by, ContiSecurities Asset Funding Corp., ContiWest
Corporation or ContiMortgage Corporation or any of their affiliates. This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries relating to the Home Equity Loans and amounts on deposit in the
Certificate Account and the Principal and Interest Account (except as
otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
No Owner shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or
for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement except in compliance with the terms
thereof.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Owner of any Certificate shall have the right which
is absolute and unconditional to receive distributions to the extent provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Certificate or to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such distribution, and such right
shall not be impaired without the consent of such Owner.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the
obligations created thereby will terminate upon the latest to occur of (a) the
final payment or other liquidation (or any advance made with respect thereto)
of the last Home Equity Loan in the Trust Estate or (b) the disposition of all
property acquired in respect of any Home Equity Loan remaining in the Trust
Estate or (c) at any time when a Qualified Liquidation of the Trust Estate is
effected as described below. To effect a termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement pursuant to clause (c) above, the Owners of all
Certificates then Outstanding shall unanimously direct the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust to adopt a plan of complete liquidation as contemplated by
Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code, and the Trustee shall either sell the Home
Equity Loans and distribute the proceeds of the liquidation of the Trust, or
shall distribute equitably in kind all of the assets of the Trust Estate to
the remaining Owners of the Certificates, each in accordance with such plan,
so that the liquidation or distribution of the Trust Estate, the distribution
of any proceeds of the liquidation and the termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement occur no later than the close of the 90th day after the
date of adoption of the plan of liquidation and such liquidation qualifies as
a Qualified Liquidation.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement additionally provides
that (i) the Owners of the Class R-I Certificates may, at their option,
purchase from the Trust all remaining Home Equity Loans and other property
then constituting the Trust Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the
Certificates, on any Monthly Remittance Date after the Clean-Up Call Date and
(ii) under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of any REMIC
established by the Trust as a REMIC under the Code the Home Equity Loans may
be sold, thereby effecting the early retirement of the Certificates.
The Trustee shall give written notice of termination of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth therein.
The Owners of the majority of the Percentage Interests
represented by the Offered Certificates have the right to exercise any trust
or power set forth in Section 6.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth and referred to on the face
hereof, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office
designated as the location of the Register duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly
executed by, the Owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the like Class, tenor and a like
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of
rights and obligations of the parties provided therein by the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Sellers and the Servicer at any time and from time to time, and
without the consent of the Owners; provided, that in certain circumstances
provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such consent of the
Owners will be required prior to amendments. Any such consent by the Owner at
the time of the giving thereof, of this Certificate shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Owner and upon all future Owners of the Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the registration of Transfer hereof or in exchange
hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Certificate.
The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on
each Payment Date to the Owner of this Certificate, as more fully described in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Class A-1 Certificates are issuable only as registered
Certificates in minimum denominations of $1,000 original Certificate Principal
Balance. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, Class A-1 Certificates are exchangeable
for new Class A-1 Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate principal amount.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Registrar or 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 or any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary, except as may otherwise be specifically provided in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor has caused this
Certificate to be duly executed on behalf of the Trust.

wire transfer or otherwise) to the account of an Owner at a domestic bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Owner has so
notified the Trustee, or by check mailed to the address of the person entitled
thereto as it appears on the Register.
Each Owner of record of a Class A-2 Certificate will be
entitled to receive such Owner's Percentage Interest in the amounts due on
such Payment Date to the Owners of the Class A-2 Certificates. The
Percentage Interest of each Class A-2 Certificate as of any date of
determination will be equal to the percentage obtained by dividing the original
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class A-2 Certificate on the Startup Day
by the aggregate Class A-2 Certificate Principal Balance on the Startup Day.
The Trustee or any duly-appointed Paying Agent will duly and
punctually pay distributions with respect to this Certificate in accordance
with the terms hereof and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Amounts
properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a distribution to any
Owner shall be considered as having been paid by the Trustee to such Owner for
all purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Home Equity Loans will be serviced by the Servicer
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement permits the Servicer to enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with
certain institutions eligible for appointment as Sub-Servicers for the
servicing and administration of certain Home Equity Loans. No appointment of
any Sub-Servicer shall release the Servicer from any of its obligations under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate does not represent a deposit or other
obligation of, or an interest in, nor are the underlying Home Equity Loans
insured or guaranteed by, ContiSecurities Asset Funding Corp., ContiWest
Corporation or ContiMortgage Corporation or any of their affiliates. This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries relating to the Home Equity Loans and amounts on deposit in the
Certificate Account and the Principal and Interest Account (except as
otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
No Owner shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or
for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement except in compliance with the terms
thereof.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Owner of any Certificate shall have the right which
is absolute and unconditional to receive distributions to the extent provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Certificate or to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such distribution, and such right
shall not be impaired without the consent of such Owner.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the
obligations created thereby will terminate upon the latest to occur of (a) the
final payment or other liquidation (or any advance made with respect thereto)
of the last Home Equity Loan in the Trust Estate or (b) the disposition of all
property acquired in respect of any Home Equity Loan remaining in the Trust
Estate or (c) at any time when a Qualified Liquidation of the Trust Estate is
effected as described below. To effect a termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement pursuant to clause (c) above, the Owners of all
Certificates then Outstanding shall unanimously direct the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust to adopt a plan of complete liquidation as contemplated by
Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code, and the Trustee shall either sell the Home
Equity Loans and distribute the proceeds of the liquidation of the Trust, or
shall distribute equitably in kind all of the assets of the Trust Estate to
the remaining Owners of the Certificates, each in accordance with such plan,
so that the liquidation or distribution of the Trust Estate, the distribution
of any proceeds of the liquidation and the termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement occur no later than the close of the 90th day after the
date of adoption of the plan of liquidation and such liquidation qualifies as
a Qualified Liquidation.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement additionally provides
that (i) the Owners of the Class R-I Certificates may, at their option,
purchase from the Trust all remaining Home Equity Loans and other property
then constituting the Trust Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the
Certificates, on any Monthly Remittance Date after the Clean-Up Call Date and
(ii) under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of any REMIC
established by the Trust as a REMIC under the Code the Home Equity Loans may
be sold, thereby effecting the early retirement of the Certificates.
The Trustee shall give written notice of termination of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth therein.
The Owners of the majority of the Percentage Interests
represented by the Offered Certificates have the right to exercise any trust
or power set forth in Section 6.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth and referred to on the face
hereof, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office
designated as the location of the Register duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Registrar duly executed by, the Owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the like Class, tenor and
a like Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of
rights and obligations of the parties provided therein by the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Sellers and the Servicer at any time and from time to time, and
without the consent of the Owners; provided, that in certain circumstances
provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such consent of the
Owners will be required prior to amendments. Any such consent by the Owner at
the time of the giving thereof, of this Certificate shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Owner and upon all future Owners of the Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the registration of Transfer hereof or in exchange
hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Certificate.
The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on
each Payment Date to the Owner of this Certificate, as more fully described in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Class A-2 Certificates are issuable only as registered
Certificates in minimum denominations of $1,000 original Certificate Principal
Balance. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, Class A-2 Certificates are exchangeable
for new Class A-2 Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate principal amount.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Registrar or 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 or any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary, except as may otherwise be specifically provided in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor has caused this
Certificate to be duly executed on behalf of the Trust.

final payment or other liquidation (or any advance made with respect thereto)
of the last Home Equity Loan in the Trust Estate or (b) the disposition of all
property acquired in respect of any Home Equity Loan remaining in the Trust
Estate or (c) at any time when a Qualified Liquidation of the Trust Estate is
effected as described below. To effect a termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement pursuant to clause (c) above, the Owners of all
Certificates then Outstanding shall unanimously direct the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust to adopt a plan of complete liquidation as contemplated by
Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code, and the Trustee shall either sell the Home
Equity Loans and distribute the proceeds of the liquidation of the Trust, or
shall distribute equitably in kind all of the assets of the Trust Estate to
the remaining Owners of the Certificates, each in accordance with such plan,
so that the liquidation or distribution of the Trust Estate, the distribution
of any proceeds of the liquidation and the termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement occur no later than the close of the 90th day after the
date of adoption of the plan of liquidation and such liquidation qualifies as
a Qualified Liquidation.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement additionally provides
that (i) the Owners of the Class R-I Certificates may, at their option,
purchase from the Trust all remaining Home Equity Loans and other property
then constituting the Trust Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the
Certificates, on any Monthly Remittance Date after the Clean-Up Call Date and
(ii) under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of any REMIC
established by the Trust as a REMIC under the Code the Home Equity Loans may
be sold, thereby effecting the early retirement of the Certificates.
The Trustee shall give written notice of termination of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth therein.
The Owners of the majority of the Percentage Interests
represented by the Offered Certificates have the right to exercise any trust
or power set forth in Section 6.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth and referred to on the face
hereof, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office
designated as the location of the Register duly endorsed by, or

Registrar duly executed by, the Owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the like Class, tenor and
a like Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of
rights and obligations of the parties provided therein by the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Sellers and the Servicer at any time and from time to time, and
without the consent of the Owners; provided, that in certain circumstances
provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such consent of the
Owners will be required prior to amendments. Any such consent by the Owner at
the time of the giving thereof, of this Certificate shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Owner and upon all future Owners of the Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the registration of Transfer hereof or in exchange
hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Certificate.
The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on
each Payment Date to the Owner of this Certificate, as more fully described in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Class A-4 Certificates are issuable only as registered
Certificates in minimum denominations of $1,000 original Certificate Principal
Balance. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, Class A-4 Certificates are exchangeable
for new Class A-4 Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate principal amount.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Registrar or 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 or any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary, except as may otherwise be specifically provided in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor has caused this
Certificate to be duly executed on behalf of the Trust.

in Schedules I-A, I-B and I-C to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which
each Seller has caused to be delivered to the Depositor and the Depositor has
caused to be delivered to the Trustee (and all substitutions therefor as
provided by Section 3.03, 3.04 and 3.06 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement), together with the related Home Equity Loan documents and each
Sellers' interest in any Property which secured a Home Equity Loan but which
has been acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, and all
payments thereon and proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of
the foregoing; (b) such amounts as may be held by the Trustee in the
Certificate Account together with investment earnings on such amounts and such
amounts as may be held in the name of the Trustee in the Principal and
Interest Account, if any, exclusive of investment earnings thereon (except as
otherwise provided herein), whether in the form of cash, instruments,

The Owner hereof is entitled to principal payments on each
Payment Date, as hereinafter described, which will fully amortize such
original Certificate Principal Balance over the period from the date of
initial issuance of the Certificates to the final Payment Date for the Class

Upon receiving the final distribution hereon, the Owner
hereof is required to send this Certificate to the Trustee. The Pooling and
Servicing Agreement (as defined below) provides that, in any event, upon the
making of the final distribution due on this Certificate, this Certificate

THE GOVERNMENT NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY.
THE PRINCIPAL OF THIS CERTIFICATE IS PAYABLE IN

CERTIFICATE MAY ON ANY DATE SUBSEQUENT TO OCTOBER 15, 1998 (THE FIRST
PAYMENT DATE) BE LESS THAN ITS ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE PRINCIPAL BALANCE.
THIS CERTIFICATE IS A PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE ONLY AND,
NOTWITHSTANDING REFERENCES HEREIN TO PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST, NO DEBT OF ANY
PERSON IS REPRESENTED HEREBY.

virtue of acceptance hereof assents and by which such Owner is bound. Also

and the Residual Certificates are together referred to herein as the
"Certificates." Terms capitalized herein and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
On the 15th day of each month, or, if such day is not a
Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day (each such day being a
"Payment Date") commencing October 15, 1998, the Owners of the Class A-7
Certificates as of the close of business on the last day of the calendar month
immediately preceding the calendar month in which a Payment Date occurs (the
"Record Date") will be entitled to receive the Class A-7 Distribution Amount
relating to such Certificate on such Payment Date. Distributions will be made
in immediately available funds to Owners of Certificates having an aggregate
original Class A-7 Certificate Principal Balance of at least $1,000,000 (by
wire transfer or otherwise) to the account of an Owner at a domestic bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Owner has so
notified the Trustee, or by check mailed to the address of the person entitled
thereto as it appears on the Register.
Each Owner of record of a Class A-7 Certificate will be
entitled to receive such Owner's Percentage Interest in the amounts due on
such Payment Date to the Owners of the Class A-7 Certificates. The Percentage
Interest of each Class A-7 Certificate as of any date of determination will be
equal to the percentage obtained by dividing the original Certificate
Principal Balance of such Class A-7 Certificate on the Startup Day by the
aggregate Class A-7 Certificate Principal Balance on the Startup Day.
The Trustee or any duly-appointed Paying Agent will duly and
punctually pay distributions with respect to this Certificate in accordance
with the terms hereof and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Amounts

Owner shall be considered as having been paid by the Trustee to such Owner for
all purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Home Equity Loans will be serviced by the Servicer
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement permits the Servicer to enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with
certain institutions eligible for appointment as Sub-Servicers for the
servicing and administration of certain Home Equity Loans. No appointment of
any Sub-Servicer shall release the Servicer from any of its obligations under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate does not represent a deposit or other
obligation of, or an interest in, nor are the underlying Home Equity Loans
insured or guaranteed by, ContiSecurities Asset Funding Corp., ContiWest
Corporation or ContiMortgage Corporation or any of their affiliates. This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries relating to the Home Equity Loans and amounts on deposit in the
Certificate Account and the Principal and Interest Account (except as
otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
No Owner shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or
for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement except in compliance with the terms
thereof.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Owner of any Certificate shall have the right which
is absolute and unconditional to receive distributions to the extent provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Certificate or to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such distribution, and such right
shall not be impaired without the consent of such Owner.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the
obligations created thereby will terminate upon the latest to occur of (a) the
final payment or other liquidation (or any advance made with respect thereto)
of the last Home Equity Loan in the Trust Estate or (b) the disposition of all
property acquired in respect of any Home Equity Loan remaining in the Trust
Estate or (c) at any time when a Qualified Liquidation of the Trust Estate is
effected as described below. To effect a termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement pursuant to clause (c) above, the Owners of all
Certificates then Outstanding shall unanimously direct the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust to adopt a plan of complete liquidation as contemplated by
Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code, and the Trustee shall either sell the Home
Equity Loans and distribute the proceeds of the liquidation of the Trust, or
shall distribute equitably in kind all of the assets of the Trust Estate to
the remaining Owners of the Certificates, each in accordance with such plan,
so that the liquidation or distribution of the Trust Estate, the distribution
of any proceeds of the liquidation and the termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement occur no later than the close of the 90th day after the
date of adoption of the plan of liquidation and such liquidation qualifies as
a Qualified Liquidation.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement additionally provides
that (i) the Owners of the Class R-I Certificates may, at their option,
purchase from the Trust all remaining Home Equity Loans and other property
then constituting the Trust Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the
Certificates, on any Monthly Remittance Date after the Clean-Up Call Date and
(ii) under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of any REMIC
established by the Trust as a REMIC under the Code the Home Equity Loans may
be sold, thereby effecting the early retirement of the Certificates.
The Trustee shall give written notice of termination of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth therein.
The Owners of the majority of the Percentage Interests
represented by the Offered Certificates have the right to exercise any trust
or power set forth in Section 6.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth and referred to on the face
hereof, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office
designated as the location of the Register duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly
executed by, the Owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the like Class, tenor and a like
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of
rights and obligations of the parties provided therein by the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Sellers and the Servicer at any time and from time to time, and
without the consent of the Owners; provided, that in certain circumstances
provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such consent of the
Owners will be required prior to amendments. Any such consent by the Owner at
the time of the giving thereof, of this Certificate shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Owner and upon all future Owners of the Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the registration of Transfer hereof or in exchange
hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Certificate.
The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on
each Payment Date to the Owner of this Certificate, as more fully described in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Class A-7 Certificates are issuable only as registered
Certificates in minimum denominations of $1,000 original Certificate Principal
Balance. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, Class A-7 Certificates are exchangeable
for new Class A-7 Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same

Agreement), together with the related Home Equity Loan documents and each
Sellers' interest in any Property which secured a Home Equity Loan but which
has been acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, and all

the foregoing; (b) such amounts as may be held by the Trustee in the
Certificate Account together with investment earnings on such amounts and such

otherwise provided herein), whether in the form of cash, instruments,

and the Residual Certificates are together referred to herein as the
"Certificates." Terms capitalized herein and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
On the 15th day of each month, or, if such day is not a
Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day (each such day being a
"Payment Date") commencing October 15, 1998, the Owners of the Class A-9
Certificates as of the close of business on the last day of the calendar month
immediately preceding the calendar month in which a Payment Date occurs (the
"Record Date") will be entitled to receive the Class A-9 Distribution Amount
relating to such Certificate on such Payment Date. Distributions will be made
in immediately available funds to Owners of Certificates having an aggregate
original Class A-9 Certificate Principal Balance of at least $1,000,000 (by
wire transfer or otherwise) to the account of an Owner at a domestic bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Owner has so
notified the Trustee, or by check mailed to the address of the person entitled
thereto as it appears on the Register.
Each Owner of record of a Class A-9 Certificate will be
entitled to receive such Owner's Percentage Interest in the amounts due on

The Trustee or any duly-appointed Paying Agent will duly and
punctually pay distributions with respect to this Certificate in accordance

pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement permits the Servicer to enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with
certain institutions eligible for appointment as Sub-Servicers for the
servicing and administration of certain Home Equity Loans. No appointment of
any Sub-Servicer shall release the Servicer from any of its obligations under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate does not represent a deposit or other
obligation of, or an interest in, nor are the underlying Home Equity Loans
insured or guaranteed by, ContiSecurities Asset Funding Corp., ContiWest
Corporation or ContiMortgage Corporation or any of their affiliates. This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries relating to the Home Equity Loans and amounts on deposit in the
Certificate Account and the Principal and Interest Account (except as
otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
No Owner shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or
for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement except in compliance with the terms
thereof.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Owner of any Certificate shall have the right which
is absolute and unconditional to receive distributions to the extent provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Certificate or to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such distribution, and such right
shall not be impaired without the consent of such Owner.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the
obligations created thereby will terminate upon the latest to occur of (a) the
final payment or other liquidation (or any advance made with respect thereto)
of the last Home Equity Loan in the Trust Estate or (b) the disposition of all
property acquired in respect of any Home Equity Loan remaining in the Trust
Estate or (c) at any time when a Qualified Liquidation of the Trust Estate is
effected as described below. To effect a termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement pursuant to clause (c) above, the Owners of all
Certificates then Outstanding shall unanimously direct the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust to adopt a plan of complete liquidation as contemplated by
Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code, and the Trustee shall either sell the Home
Equity Loans and distribute the proceeds of the liquidation of the Trust, or
shall distribute equitably in kind all of the assets of the Trust Estate to
the remaining Owners of the Certificates, each in accordance with such plan,
so that the liquidation or distribution of the Trust Estate, the distribution
of any proceeds of the liquidation and the termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement occur no later than the close of the 90th day after the
date of adoption of the plan of liquidation and such liquidation qualifies as
a Qualified Liquidation.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement additionally provides
that (i) the Owners of the Class R-I Certificates may, at their option,
purchase from the Trust all remaining Home Equity Loans and other property
then constituting the Trust Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the
Certificates, on any Monthly Remittance Date after the Clean-Up Call Date and
(ii) under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of any REMIC
established by the Trust as a REMIC under the Code the Home Equity Loans may
be sold, thereby effecting the early retirement of the Certificates.
The Trustee shall give written notice of termination of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth therein.
The Owners of the majority of the Percentage Interests
represented by the Offered Certificates have the right to exercise any trust
or power set forth in Section 6.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth and referred to on the face
hereof, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office
designated as the location of the Register duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly
executed by, the Owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the like Class, tenor and a like
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of
rights and obligations of the parties provided therein by the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Sellers and the Servicer at any time and from time to time, and
without the consent of the Owners; provided, that in certain circumstances
provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such consent of the
Owners will be required prior to amendments. Any such consent by the Owner at
the time of the giving thereof, of this Certificate shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Owner and upon all future Owners of the Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the registration of Transfer hereof or in exchange
hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Certificate.
The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on
each Payment Date to the Owner of this Certificate, as more fully described in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Class A-9 Certificates are issuable only as registered
Certificates in minimum denominations of $1,000 original Certificate Principal
Balance. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, Class A-9 Certificates are exchangeable
for new Class A-9 Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate principal amount.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Registrar or 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 or any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary, except as may otherwise be specifically provided in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor has caused this
Certificate to be duly executed on behalf of the Trust.

Certificates as of the close of business on the last day of the calendar month
immediately preceding the calendar month in which a Payment Date occurs (the

pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement permits the Servicer to enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with
certain institutions eligible for appointment as Sub-Servicers for the
servicing and administration of certain Home Equity Loans. No appointment of
any Sub-Servicer shall release the Servicer from any of its obligations under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate does not represent a deposit or other
obligation of, or an interest in, nor are the underlying Home Equity Loans
insured or guaranteed by, ContiSecurities Asset Funding Corp., ContiWest
Corporation or ContiMortgage Corporation or any of their affiliates. This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries relating to the Home Equity Loans and amounts on deposit in the
Certificate Account and the Principal and Interest Account (except as
otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
No Owner shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or
for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement except in compliance with the terms
thereof.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Owner of any Certificate shall have the right which
is absolute and unconditional to receive distributions to the extent provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Certificate or to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such distribution, and such right
shall not be impaired without the consent of such Owner.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the
obligations created thereby will terminate upon the latest to occur of (a) the
final payment or other liquidation (or any advance made with respect thereto)
of the last Home Equity Loan in the Trust Estate or (b) the disposition of all
property acquired in respect of any Home Equity Loan remaining in the Trust
Estate or (c) at any time when a Qualified Liquidation of the Trust Estate is
effected as described below. To effect a termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement pursuant to clause (c) above, the Owners of all
Certificates then Outstanding shall unanimously direct the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust to adopt a plan of complete liquidation as contemplated by
Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code, and the Trustee shall either sell the Home
Equity Loans and distribute the proceeds of the liquidation of the Trust, or
shall distribute equitably in kind all of the assets of the Trust Estate to
the remaining Owners of the Certificates, each in accordance with such plan,
so that the liquidation or distribution of the Trust Estate, the distribution
of any proceeds of the liquidation and the termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement occur no later than the close of the 90th day after the
date of adoption of the plan of liquidation and such liquidation qualifies as
a Qualified Liquidation.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement additionally provides
that (i) the Owners of the Class R-I Certificates may, at their option,
purchase from the Trust all remaining Home Equity Loans and other property
then constituting the Trust Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the
Certificates, on any Monthly Remittance Date after the Clean-Up Call Date and
(ii) under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of any REMIC
established by the Trust as a REMIC under the Code the Home Equity Loans may
be sold, thereby effecting the early retirement of the Certificates.
The Trustee shall give written notice of termination of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth therein.
The Owners of the majority of the Percentage Interests
represented by the Offered Certificates have the right to exercise any trust
or power set forth in Section 6.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth and referred to on the face
hereof, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office
designated as the location of the Register duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly
executed by, the Owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the like Class, tenor and a like
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of
rights and obligations of the parties provided therein by the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Sellers and the Servicer at any time and from time to time, and
without the consent of the Owners; provided, that in certain circumstances
provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such consent of the
Owners will be required prior to amendments. Any such consent by the Owner at
the time of the giving thereof, of this Certificate shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Owner and upon all future Owners of the Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the registration of Transfer hereof or in exchange
hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Certificate.
The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on
each Payment Date to the Owner of this Certificate, as more fully described in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Class A-10 Certificates are issuable only as registered
Certificates in minimum denominations of $1,000 original Certificate Principal
Balance. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, Class A-10 Certificates are
exchangeable for new Class A-10 Certificates of authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate principal amount.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Registrar or 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 or any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary, except as may otherwise be specifically provided in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor has caused this
Certificate to be duly executed on behalf of the Trust.

The Owner hereof is entitled to principal payments on each
Payment Date, as hereinafter described, which will fully amortize such original
Certificate Principal Balance over the period from the date of initial issuance
of the Certificates to the final Payment Date for the Class A-2 Certificates.
Therefore, the actual Outstanding principal amount of this Certificate may, on
any date subsequent to October 15, 1998 (the first Payment Date) be less than
the original Certificate Principal Balance set forth above.
Upon receiving the final distribution hereon, the Owner hereof
is required to send this Certificate to the Trustee. The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement (as defined below) provides that, in any event, upon the making of the
final distribution due on this Certificate, this Certificate shall be deemed
cancelled for all purposes under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
THE PRINCIPAL OF THIS CERTIFICATE IS PAYABLE IN
INSTALLMENTS. THEREFORE, THE ACTUAL OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS
CERTIFICATE MAY ON ANY DATE SUBSEQUENT TO OCTOBER 15, 1998 (THE FIRST PAYMENT
DATE) BE LESS THAN ITS ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE PRINCIPAL BALANCE.
THIS CERTIFICATE IS A PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE ONLY AND,
NOTWITHSTANDING REFERENCES HEREIN TO PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST, NO DEBT OF ANY
PERSON IS REPRESENTED HEREBY.
This Certificate is one of a Class of duly-authorized
Certificates designated as ContiMortgage Trust 1998-B Pass-Through Certificates,
Class A-16 (the "Class A-16 Certificates") and issued under and subject to the

to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement the Owner of this Certificate by virtue
of acceptance hereof assents and by which such Owner is bound. Terms capitalized
herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set
forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
On the 15th day of each month, or, if such day is not a
Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day (each such day being a
"Payment Date") commencing OCTOBER 15, 1998, the Owners of the Class A-16
Certificates as of the close of business on the day preceding the day on which a
Payment Date occurs (the "Record Date") will be entitled to receive the Class

Certificates having an aggregate original Class A-2 Floating Certificate
Principal Balance of at least $1,000,000 (by wire transfer or otherwise) to the
account of an Owner at a domestic bank or other entity having appropriate
facilities therefor, if such Owner has so notified the Trustee, or by check
mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the
Register.
Each Owner of record of a Class A-16 Certificate will be
entitled to receive such Owner's Percentage Interest in the amounts due on such
Payment Date to the Owners of the Class A-16 Certificates. The Percentage
Interest of each Class A-16 Certificate as of any date of determination will be
equal to the percentage obtained by dividing the original Certificate Principal
Balance of such Class A-16 Certificate on the Startup Day by the aggregate Class
A-16 Certificate Principal Balance on the Startup Day.
The Trustee or any duly-appointed Paying Agent will duly and
punctually pay distributions with respect to this Certificate in accordance with
the terms hereof and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Amounts properly
withheld under the Code by any Person from a distribution to any Owner shall be
considered as having been paid by the Trustee to such Owner for all purposes of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate does not represent a deposit or other
obligation of, or an interest in, or guaranteed by, ContiSecurities Asset
Funding Corp. or ContiMortgage Corporation or any of their affiliates. This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to the Swap Trust Estate held by the
Swap Trust.
No Owner shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or
for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement except in compliance with the terms thereof.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Owner of any Certificate shall have the right which is
absolute and unconditional to receive distributions to the extent provided in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Certificate or to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such distribution, and such right
shall not be impaired without the consent of such Owner.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the
obligations created thereby will terminate upon the latest
2
to occur of (a) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance made with
respect thereto) of the Swap Trust Estate or (b) the final payment to the
Certificate Insurer of all amounts then owing to it.
The Trustee shall give written notice of termination of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth therein.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject
to certain limitations therein set forth and referred to on the face hereof, the
transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon surrender of
this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office designated as the
location of the Register duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by,
the Owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Certificates of the like Class, tenor and a like Percentage Interest
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of
rights and obligations of the parties provided therein by the Depositor, the
Pooling and Servicing Trustee, and the Servicer at any time and from time to
time, and without the consent of the Owners; provided, that in certain
circumstances provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such consent
of the Owners will be required prior to amendments. Any such consent by the
Owner at the time of the giving thereof, of this Certificate shall be conclusive
and binding upon such Owner and upon all future Owners of the Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the registration of Transfer hereof or in exchange
hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Certificate.
The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on each
Payment Date to the Owner of this Certificate, as more fully described in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Class A-16 Certificates are issuable only as registered
Certificates in minimum denominations of $1,000 original Certificate Principal
Balance. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, Class A-16 Certificates are exchangeable
for new Class A-16 Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate principal amount.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Registrar or 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 or any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary, except as may otherwise be specifically provided in the Pooling

obligations created thereby will terminate upon the latest to occur of (a) the
final payment or other liquidation (or any advance made with respect thereto)
of the last Home Equity Loan in the Trust Estate or (b) the disposition of all
property acquired in respect of any Home Equity Loan remaining in the Trust
Estate or (c) at any time when a Qualified Liquidation of the Trust Estate is
effected as described below. To effect a termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement pursuant to clause (c) above, the Owners of all
Certificates then Outstanding shall unanimously direct the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust to adopt a plan of complete liquidation as contemplated by
Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code, and the Trustee shall either sell the Home
Equity Loans and distribute the proceeds of the liquidation of the Trust, or
shall distribute equitably in kind all of the assets of the Trust Estate to
the remaining Owners of the Certificates, each in accordance with such plan,
so that the liquidation or distribution of the Trust Estate, the distribution
of any proceeds of the liquidation and the termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement occur no later than the close of the 90th day after the
date of adoption of the plan of liquidation and such liquidation qualifies as
a Qualified Liquidation.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement additionally provides
that (i) the Owners of the Class R-I Certificates may, at their option,
purchase from the Trust all remaining Home Equity Loans and other property
then constituting the Trust Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the
Certificates, on any Monthly Remittance Date after the Clean-Up Call Date and
(ii) under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of any REMIC
established by the Trust as a REMIC under the Code the Home Equity Loans may
be sold, thereby effecting the early retirement of the Certificates.
The Trustee shall give written notice of termination of the

executed by, the Owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the like Class, tenor and a like
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of
rights and obligations of the parties provided therein by the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Sellers and the Servicer at any time and from time to time, and
without the consent of the Owners; provided, that in certain circumstances
provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such consent of the
Owners will be required prior to amendments. Any such consent by the Owner at
the time of the giving thereof, of this Certificate shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Owner and upon all future Owners of the Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the registration of Transfer hereof or in exchange
hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is

properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a distribution to any
Owner shall be considered as having been paid by the Trustee to such Owner for
all purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Home Equity Loans will be serviced by the Servicer
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement permits the Servicer to enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with
certain institutions eligible for appointment as Sub-Servicers for the
servicing and administration of certain Home Equity Loans. No appointment of
any Sub-Servicer shall release the Servicer from any of its obligations under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate does not represent a deposit or other
obligation of, or an interest in, nor are the underlying Home Equity Loans
insured or guaranteed by, ContiSecurities Asset Funding Corp., ContiWest
Corporation or ContiMortgage Corporation or any of their affiliates. This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries relating to the Home Equity Loans and amounts on deposit in the
Certificate Account and the Principal and Interest Account (except as
otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
No Owner shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or
for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement except in compliance with the terms
thereof.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Owner of any Certificate shall have the right which
is absolute and unconditional to receive distributions to the extent provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Certificate or to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such distribution, and such right
shall not be impaired without the consent of such Owner.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the
obligations created thereby will terminate upon the latest to occur of (a) the
final payment or other liquidation (or any advance made with respect thereto)
of the last Home Equity Loan in the Trust Estate or (b) the disposition of all
property acquired in respect of any Home Equity Loan remaining in the Trust
Estate or (c) at any time when a Qualified Liquidation of the Trust Estate is
effected as described below. To effect a termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement pursuant to clause (c) above, the Owners of all
Certificates then Outstanding shall unanimously direct the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust to adopt a plan of complete liquidation as contemplated by
Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code, and the Trustee shall either sell the Home
Equity Loans and distribute the proceeds of the liquidation of the Trust, or
shall distribute equitably in kind all of the assets of the Trust Estate to
the remaining Owners of the Certificates, each in accordance with such plan,
so that the liquidation or distribution of the Trust Estate, the distribution
of any proceeds of the liquidation and the termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement occur no later than the close of the 90th day after the
date of adoption of the plan of liquidation and such liquidation qualifies as
a Qualified Liquidation.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement additionally provides
that (i) the Owners of the Class R-I Certificates may, at their option,
purchase from the Trust all remaining Home Equity Loans and other property
then constituting the Trust Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the
Certificates, on any Monthly Remittance Date after the Clean-Up Call Date and
(ii) under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of any REMIC
established by the Trust as a REMIC under the Code the Home Equity Loans may
be sold, thereby effecting the early retirement of the Certificates.
The Trustee shall give written notice of termination of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth therein.
The Owners of the majority of the Percentage Interests
represented by the Offered Certificates have the right to exercise any trust
or power set forth in Section 6.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth and referred to on the face
hereof, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office
designated as the location of the Register duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly
executed by, the Owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the like Class, tenor and a like
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of
rights and obligations of the parties provided therein by the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Sellers and the Servicer at any time and from time to time, and
without the consent of the Owners; provided, that in certain circumstances
provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such consent of the
Owners will be required prior to amendments. Any such consent by the Owner at
the time of the giving thereof, of this Certificate shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Owner and upon all future Owners of the Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the registration of Transfer hereof or in exchange
hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Certificate.
The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on
each Payment Date to the Owner of this Certificate, as more fully described in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Class A-18 Certificates are issuable only as registered
Certificates in minimum denominations of $25,000 original Certificate
Principal Balance. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class A-18 Certificates are
exchangeable for new Class A-18 Certificates of authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate principal amount.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Registrar or 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 or any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary, except as may otherwise be specifically provided in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

"Payment Date") commencing October 15, 1998, the Owners of the Class B-I
Certificates as of the close of business on the last day of the calendar month
immediately preceding the calendar month in which a Payment Date occurs (the
"Record Date") will be entitled to receive the Class B-I Distribution Amount
relating to such Certificate on such Payment Date. Distributions will be made
in immediately available funds to Owners of Certificates having an aggregate
original Class B-I Certificate Principal Balance of at least $1,000,000 (by

pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement permits the Servicer to enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with
certain institutions eligible for appointment as Sub-Servicers for the
servicing and administration of certain Home Equity Loans. No appointment of
any Sub-Servicer shall release the Servicer from any of its obligations under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate does not represent a deposit or other
obligation of, or an interest in, nor are the underlying Home Equity Loans
insured or guaranteed by, ContiSecurities Asset Funding Corp., ContiWest
Corporation or ContiMortgage Corporation or any of their affiliates. This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries relating to the Home Equity Loans and amounts on deposit in the
Certificate Account and the Principal and Interest Account (except as
otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
No Owner shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or
for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement except in compliance with the terms
thereof.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Owner of any Certificate shall have the right which
is absolute and unconditional to receive distributions to the extent provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Certificate or to

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the
obligations created thereby will terminate upon the latest to occur of (a) the
final payment or other liquidation (or any advance made with respect thereto)
of the last Home Equity Loan in the Trust Estate or (b) the disposition of all
property acquired in respect of any Home Equity Loan remaining in the Trust
Estate or (c) at any time when a Qualified Liquidation of the Trust Estate is

of the Trust to adopt a plan of complete liquidation as contemplated by
Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code, and the Trustee shall either sell the Home
Equity Loans and distribute the proceeds of the liquidation of the Trust, or
shall distribute equitably in kind all of the assets of the Trust Estate to
the remaining Owners of the Certificates, each in accordance with such plan,
so that the liquidation or distribution of the Trust Estate, the distribution
of any proceeds of the liquidation and the termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement occur no later than the close of the 90th day after the
date of adoption of the plan of liquidation and such liquidation qualifies as
a Qualified Liquidation.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement additionally provides
that (i) the Owners of the Class R-I Certificates may, at their option,
purchase from the Trust all remaining Home Equity Loans and other property
then constituting the Trust Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the
Certificates, on any Monthly Remittance Date after the Clean-Up Call Date and
(ii) under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of any REMIC
established by the Trust as a REMIC under the Code the Home Equity Loans may
be sold, thereby effecting the early retirement of the Certificates.
The Trustee shall give written notice of termination of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth therein.
The Owners of the majority of the Percentage Interests
represented by the Offered Certificates have the right to exercise any trust
or power set forth in Section 6.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth and referred to on the face
hereof, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office
designated as the location of the Register duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly
executed by, the Owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the like Class, tenor and a like
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of
rights and obligations of the parties provided therein by the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Sellers and the Servicer at any time and from time to time, and
without the consent of the Owners; provided, that in certain circumstances
provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such consent of the
Owners will be required prior to amendments. Any such consent by the Owner at
the time of the giving thereof, of this Certificate shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Owner and upon all future Owners of the Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the registration of Transfer hereof or in exchange
hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Certificate.
The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on
each Payment Date to the Owner of this Certificate, as more fully described in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Class B-I Certificates are issuable only as registered
Certificates in minimum denominations of $1,000 original Certificate Principal
Balance. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, Class B-I Certificates are exchangeable
for new Class B-I Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate principal amount.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Registrar or 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 or any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary, except as may otherwise be specifically provided in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Sellers' interest in any Property which secured a Home Equity Loan but which
has been acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, and all
payments thereon and proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of
the foregoing; (b) such amounts as may be held by the Trustee in the

The Owner hereof is entitled to principal payments on each

hereof is required to send this Certificate to the Trustee. The Pooling and
Servicing Agreement (as defined below) provides that, in any event, upon the
making of the final distribution due on this Certificate, this Certificate

pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement permits the Servicer to enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with

the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

obligation of, or an interest in, nor are the underlying Home Equity Loans
insured or guaranteed by, ContiSecurities Asset Funding Corp., ContiWest

Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries relating to the Home Equity Loans and amounts on deposit in the
Certificate Account and the Principal and Interest Account (except as
otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
No Owner shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or
for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement except in compliance with the terms

obligations created thereby will terminate upon the latest to occur of (a) the
final payment or other liquidation (or any advance made with respect thereto)
of the last Home Equity Loan in the Trust Estate or (b) the disposition of all
property acquired in respect of any Home Equity Loan remaining in the Trust
Estate or (c) at any time when a Qualified Liquidation of the Trust Estate is
effected as described below. To effect a termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement pursuant to clause (c) above, the Owners of all
Certificates then Outstanding shall unanimously direct the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust to adopt a plan of complete liquidation as contemplated by
Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code, and the Trustee shall either sell the Home
Equity Loans and distribute the proceeds of the liquidation of the Trust, or
shall distribute equitably in kind all of the assets of the Trust Estate to
the remaining Owners of the Certificates, each in accordance with such plan,
so that the liquidation or distribution of the Trust Estate, the distribution
of any proceeds of the liquidation and the termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement occur no later than the close of the 90th day after the
date of adoption of the plan of liquidation and such liquidation qualifies as
a Qualified Liquidation.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement additionally provides
that (i) the Owners of the Class R-I Certificates may, at their option,
purchase from the Trust all remaining Home Equity Loans and other property
then constituting the Trust Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the
Certificates, on any Monthly Remittance Date after the Clean-Up Call Date and
(ii) under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of any REMIC
established by the Trust as a REMIC under the Code the Home Equity Loans may
be sold, thereby effecting the early retirement of the Certificates.
The Trustee shall give written notice of termination of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth therein.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of
rights and obligations of the parties provided therein by the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Sellers and the Servicer at any time and from time to time, and
without the consent of the Owners; provided, that in certain circumstances

pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement permits the Servicer to enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with

the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate does not represent a deposit or other
obligation of, or an interest in, nor are the underlying Home Equity Loans
insured or guaranteed by, ContiSecurities Asset Funding Corp., ContiWest
Corporation or ContiMortgage Corporation or any of their affiliates. This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries relating to the Home Equity Loans and amounts on deposit in the
Certificate Account and the Principal and Interest Account (except as
otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
No Owner shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or
for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement except in compliance with the terms
thereof.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Owner of any Certificate shall have the right which
is absolute and unconditional to receive distributions to the extent provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Certificate or to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such distribution, and such right
shall not be impaired without the consent of such Owner.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the
obligations created thereby will terminate upon the latest to occur of (a) the
final payment or other liquidation (or any advance made with respect thereto)
of the last Home Equity Loan in the Trust Estate or (b) the disposition of all
property acquired in respect of any Home Equity Loan remaining in the Trust
Estate or (c) at any time when a Qualified Liquidation of the Trust Estate is
effected as described below. To effect a termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement pursuant to clause (c) above, the Owners of all
Certificates then Outstanding shall unanimously direct the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust to adopt a plan of complete liquidation as contemplated by
Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code, and the Trustee shall either sell the Home
Equity Loans and distribute the proceeds of the liquidation of the Trust, or
shall distribute equitably in kind all of the assets of the Trust Estate to
the remaining Owners of the Certificates, each in accordance with such plan,
so that the liquidation or distribution of the Trust Estate, the distribution
of any proceeds of the liquidation and the termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement occur no later than the close of the 90th day after the
date of adoption of the plan of liquidation and such liquidation qualifies as
a Qualified Liquidation.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement additionally provides
that (i) the Owners of the Class R-I Certificates may, at their option,
purchase from the Trust all remaining Home Equity Loans and other property
then constituting the Trust Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the
Certificates, on any Monthly Remittance Date after the Clean-Up Call Date and
(ii) under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of any REMIC
established by the Trust as a REMIC under the Code the Home Equity Loans may
be sold, thereby effecting the early retirement of the Certificates.
The Trustee shall give written notice of termination of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth therein.
The Owners of the majority of the Percentage Interests
represented by the Offered Certificates have the right to exercise any trust
or power set forth in Section 6.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth and referred to on the face
hereof, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office
designated as the location of the Register duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly
executed by, the Owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the like Class, tenor and a like
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
3
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of
rights and obligations of the parties provided therein by the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Sellers and the Servicer at any time and from time to time, and
without the consent of the Owners; provided, that in certain circumstances
provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such consent of the
Owners will be required prior to amendments. Any such consent by the Owner at
the time of the giving thereof, of this Certificate shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Owner and upon all future Owners of the Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the registration of Transfer hereof or in exchange
hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Certificate.
The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on
each Payment Date to the Owner of this Certificate, as more fully described in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Class A-14 Internal Certificates are issuable only as
registered Certificates in minimum denominations of $1,000 original
Certificate Principal Balance. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class A-14
Internal Certificates are exchangeable for new Class A-14 Internal
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
principal amount.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Registrar or 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 or any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary, except as may otherwise be specifically provided in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement permits the Servicer to enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with
certain institutions eligible for appointment as Sub-Servicers for the

This Certificate does not represent a deposit or other
obligation of, or an interest in, nor are the underlying Home Equity Loans
insured or guaranteed by, ContiSecurities Asset Funding Corp., ContiWest
Corporation or ContiMortgage Corporation or any of their affiliates. This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries relating to the Home Equity Loans and amounts on deposit in the
Certificate Account and the Principal and Interest Account (except as
otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
No Owner shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or
for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under

shall not be impaired without the consent of such Owner.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the
obligations created thereby will terminate upon the latest to occur of (a) the
final payment or other liquidation (or any advance made with respect thereto)
of the last Home Equity Loan in the Trust Estate or (b) the disposition of all
property acquired in respect of any Home Equity Loan remaining in the Trust
Estate or (c) at any time when a Qualified Liquidation of the Trust Estate is
effected as described below. To effect a termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement pursuant to clause (c) above, the Owners of all
Certificates then Outstanding shall unanimously direct the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust to adopt a plan of complete liquidation as contemplated by
Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code, and the Trustee shall either sell the Home
Equity Loans and distribute the proceeds of the liquidation of the Trust, or
shall distribute equitably in kind all of the assets of the Trust Estate to
the remaining Owners of the Certificates, each in accordance with such plan,
so that the liquidation or distribution of the Trust Estate, the distribution
of any proceeds of the liquidation and the termination of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement occur no later than the close of the 90th day after the
date of adoption of the plan of liquidation and such liquidation qualifies as
a Qualified Liquidation.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement additionally provides
that (i) the Owners of the Class R-I Certificates may, at their option,
purchase from the Trust all remaining Home Equity Loans and other property
then constituting the Trust Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the
Certificates, on any Monthly Remittance Date after the Clean-Up Call Date and
(ii) under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of any REMIC
established by the Trust as a REMIC under the Code the Home Equity Loans may
be sold, thereby effecting the early retirement of the Certificates.
The Trustee shall give written notice of termination of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth therein.
The Owners of the majority of the Percentage Interests
represented by the Offered Certificates have the right to exercise any trust
or power set forth in Section 6.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth and referred to on the face
hereof, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office
designated as the location of the Register duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly
executed by, the Owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the like Class, tenor and a like
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of
rights and obligations of the parties provided therein by the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Sellers and the Servicer at any time and from time to time, and
without the consent of the Owners; provided, that in certain circumstances
provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such consent of the
Owners will be required prior to amendments. Any such consent by the Owner at
the time of the giving thereof, of this Certificate shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Owner and upon all future Owners of the Certificate and of
any Certificate issued upon the registration of Transfer hereof or in exchange
hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Certificate.
The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on
each Payment Date to the Owner of this Certificate, as more fully described in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Class A-16 Internal Certificates are issuable only as
registered Certificates in minimum denominations of $1,000 original
Certificate Principal Balance. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Class A-16
Internal Certificates are exchangeable for new Class A-16 Internal
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
principal amount.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Registrar or 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 or any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary, except as may otherwise be specifically provided in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

distribution of the Trust Estate, the distribution of any proceeds of the

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth and referred to on the face
hereof, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office
designated as the location of the Register duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly
executed by, the Owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the like Class, tenor
3
and a like aggregate fractional undivided interest in the REMIC will be issued
to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of
rights and obligations of the parties provided therein by the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Sellers and the Servicer at any time and from time to time, and
without the Consent of the Owners; provided that in certain other
circumstances provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such
consent of the Owners will be required prior to amendments. Any such consent
by the Owner at the time of the giving thereof, of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Owner and upon all future Owners of the
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the registration of Transfer
hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Certificate.
The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on
each Payment Date to the Owner of this Certificate, as more fully described in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Class R Certificates are issuable only as registered
Certificates. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject

Interest as the Class R Certificates exchanged.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Registrar or 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 or any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary, except as may otherwise be specifically provided in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Terms capitalized herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Home Equity Loans will be serviced by the Servicer
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Pooling and Servicing
Agreement permits the Servicer to enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with
certain institutions eligible for appointment as Sub-Servicers for the
servicing and administration of certain Home Equity Loans. No appointment of
any Sub-Servicer shall release the Servicer from any of its obligations under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate does not represent a deposit or other
obligation of, or an interest in, nor are the underlying Home Equity Loans
insured or guaranteed by, ContiSecurities Asset Funding Corp., ContiWest
Corporation or ContiMortgage Corporation or any of their affiliates. This
Certificate is limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries relating to the Home Equity Loans, all as more specifically set
forth hereinabove and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
No Owner shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or
for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement except in compliance with the terms
thereof.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Owner of any Certificate shall have the right which
is absolute and unconditional to receive distributions to the extent provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to such Certificate or to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such distribution, and such right
shall not be impaired without the consent of such Owner.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the
obligations created thereby will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the payment
to the Owners of all Certificates from amounts other than those available
under the Certificate Insurance Policy of all amounts held by the Trustee and
required to be paid to such Owners pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement upon the later to occur of (a) the final payment or other
liquidation (or any advance made with respect thereto) of the last Home Equity
Loan or (b) the disposition of all property acquired in respect of any Home
Equity Loan remaining in the Trust Estate or (c) at any time when a Qualified
Liquidation of the Trust Estate is effected as described below. To effect a
termination of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to clause (c)
above, the Owners of all Certificates then Outstanding shall unanimously
direct the Trustee on behalf of the Trust to adopt a plan of complete
liquidation, as contemplated by Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code and the Trustee
shall either sell the Home Equity Loans and distribute the proceeds of the
liquidation of the Trust, or shall distribute equitably in kind all of the
assets of the Trust Estate to the remaining Owners of the Certificates, each
in accordance with such plan, so that the liquidation or distribution of the
Trust Estate, the distribution of any proceeds of the liquidation and the
termination of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement occur no later than the
close of the 90th day after the date of adoption of the plan of liquidation
and such liquidation qualifies as a Qualified Liquidation.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement additionally provides
that (i) the Owners of the Class R-I Certificates may at their option,
purchase from the Trust all remaining Home Equity Loans and other property
then constituting the Trust Estate, and thereby effect early retirement of the
Certificates, on any Monthly Remittance Date after the Clean-Up Call Date and
(ii) under certain circumstances relating to the qualification of the any
REMIC established by the Trust as a REMIC under the Code, the Home Equity
Loans may be sold, thereby effecting the early retirement of the Certificates.
The Trustee shall give written notice of termination of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth therein.
The Owners of a majority of the Percentage Interests
represented by the Offered Certificates, or if there are no longer any Offered
Certificates then outstanding, the Owners of a majority of the Percentage
Interests represented by the Class R-I Certificates then outstanding, have the
right to exercise any trust or power set forth in Section 6.11 of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth and referred to on the face
hereof, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Register upon
surrender of
3
this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office designated as the
location of the Register duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by,
the Owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Certificates of the like Class, tenor and a like aggregate
fractional undivided interest in the REMIC will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of
rights and obligations of the parties provided therein by the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Sellers and the Servicer at any time and from time to time, and
without the consent of the Owners; provided, that in certain other
circumstances provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such
consent of the Owners will be required prior to amendments. Any such consent
by the Owner at the time of the giving thereof, of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Owner and upon all future Owners of the
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the registration of Transfer
hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Certificate.
The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on
each Payment Date to the Owner of this Certificate, as more fully described in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Class R-II Certificates are issuable only as registered
Certificates. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject
to certain limitations therein set forth, these Class R-II Certificates are
exchangeable for new Class R-II Certificates evidencing the same Percentage
Interest as the Class R-II Certificates exchanged.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Registrar or 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 or any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary, except as may otherwise be specifically provided in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
