PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
In order to facilitate the servicing of certain Mortgage Loans by the
Servicer, the Representative, the Servicer, the Originators and the Claims
Administrator are entering into this Agreement with the Trustee. The Originators
are selling the Mortgage Loans and amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account

classes of Certificates are being issued, denominated on the face thereof as The
Money Store Asset Backed Certificates, 1996-D, Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0,
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, Class A-13, Class A-14, Class A-15, Class A-16, Class X,
Class R-1 and Class R-2, respectively, representing in the aggregate a 100%
undivided ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and amounts on deposit in the
Pre-Funding Account. The Initial Pool I, Initial Pool II, Initial Pool III and
Initial Pool IV Mortgage Loans have an aggregate outstanding principal balance
of $375,015,823.36, $273,227,217.80, $120,052,426.54 and $9,995,200.25,
respectively (and an aggregate outstanding Principal Balance of $778,290,667.95,
which gives effect to the discounts on the Low Interest Mortgage Loans of $0),
as of November 30, 1996, except for those Initial Mortgage Loans originated

which the aggregate outstanding principal balance shall be as of the date of the
related Mortgage Note (the "Cut-Off Date"), after application of payments
received by the Originators on or before such date, and the original Pre-Funded

herein. As provided herein, two separate real estate mortgage investment conduit
("REMIC") elections will be made in connection with the assets constituting each
of REMIC I and REMIC II for federal income tax purposes. On the Startup Day, all
the Classes of REMIC II Regular Certificates will be designated "regular
interests" in REMIC II and the Class R-2 Certifi xxxxx will be designated the
single class of "residual interests" in such REMIC for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions (as defined herein). On the Startup Day, all the Classes of
Certificates except for the Class R-1 and Class R-2 Certificates will be
designated "regular interests" in REMIC I and the Class R-1 Certificates will be
designated the single class of "residual interests" in such REMIC for purposes
of the REMIC Provisions.

Section 2.05 ACCEPTANCE BY TRUSTEE AND CUSTODIAN OF THE TRUST FUND;
CERTAIN SUBSTITUTIONS; CERTIFICATION BY TRUSTEE AND CUSTODIAN.
(a) The Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the
Custodian, as agent for the Co-Trustee) agrees to execute and deliver on the
Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans, and on each Subsequent
Transfer Date with respect to the related Subsequent Mortgage Loans, an
acknowledgment of receipt of, for each Mortgage Loan, an Assignment of Mortgage
or certified copy thereof, and a Mortgage Note, in the form attached as Exhibit
F hereto, and declares that it will hold such documents and any amendments,
replacements or supplements thereto, as well as any other assets included in the
definition of the Trust Fund and delivered to the Trustee, as Trustee in trust
upon (or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, to the Custodian, as
agent for the Co-Trustee) and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the
benefit of the Certificateholders. The Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III
Mortgage Loans, the Custodian) agrees, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to review each Trustee's Mortgage File relating to the
Initial Mortgage Loans delivered to it within 60 days after the Closing Date and
each Trustee's Mortgage File relating to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans delivered
to it within 60 days after the related Subsequent Transfer Date (or, with
respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, within 45 days after the
assignment thereof) and, on each such date, to deliver to the Representative,
the Servicer and the Certificate Insurer a certification in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit F-1 to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any
Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such certification as not covered by
such certification), with such exceptions, if any, as identified therein (i) all
documents required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are in its
possession (other than items listed in Section 2.04(d)(ii)), (ii) such documents
(other than items listed in Section 2.04(d)(ii)) have been reviewed by it and
have not been mutilated, damaged, torn or otherwise physically altered and
relate to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on its examination and only as to the
foregoing documents, the information set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule
accurately reflects the information set forth in the Trustee's Mortgage File,
and (iv) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as provided in Section 2.04 of
this Agreement. Further, for each Mortgage Loan (other than the Pool III
Mortgage Loans) with an original principal balance in excess of $15,000 for
which the documents in the possession of the Trustee indicate that the related
Originator conducted a drive-by appraisal pursuant to FHLMC Form 704 or
alternative FNMA Form in connection with originating such Mortgage Loan, the
Trustee shall verify whether the Trustee's Mortgage File shows that such
Mortgage Loan, (A) had an original principal balance not in excess of $35,000,
and (B) has a Loan-to Value Ratio less than 50% (based solely on the LTV
included on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) and/or an appraisal on FNMA/FHLMC Form
1004 was performed by the related Originator within one year prior to the
origination of such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee and the Custodian 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. Within 375 days after the Closing
Date, the Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the
Custodian) shall deliver to the Servicer, the Representative, the Certificate
Insurer and any Certificateholder who requests a copy from the Trustee (or, with
respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Custodian) a final certification in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit G evidencing, if such be the case, the
completeness of the Trustee's Mortgage Files (other than items listed in Section
2.04(d)(ii)).
(b) If the Certificate Insurer or the Trustee (or, with respect to the
Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Custodian) during the process of reviewing the
Trustee's Mortgage Files finds any document constituting a part of a Trustee's
Mortgage File which is not properly executed, has not been received, is
unrelated to a Mortgage Loan identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or does
not conform in a material respect to the requirements of Section 2.04 or the
description thereof as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Certificate
Insurer or the Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the
Custodian) shall promptly so notify the Servicer, the Representative and the
Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Custodian) or the
Certificate Insurer, respectively. In performing any such review, the Trustee
and the Custodian may conclusively rely on the related Originator as to the
purported genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. It is
understood that the scope of the Trustee's (or, with respect to the Pool III
Mortgage Loans, the Custodian's) review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely
to confirming that the documents listed in Section 2.04 (other than the items
listed in Section 2.04(d)(ii)) appear on their face to have been executed and
received and to relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, and to verify that each Mortgaged Property appears from the
information contained in the Trustee's Mortgage File to be a Residential
Dwelling (or, with respect to the Multifamily Loans, a Multifamily Property).
The Representative agrees to use reasonable efforts to remedy a material defect
in a document constituting part of a Mortgage File of which it is so notified by
the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee or the Custodian. If, however, within 60
days after the Trustee's or the Custodian's notice to it respecting such defect
the Representative has not remedied the defect and the defect materially and
adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage
Loan or the interests of the Certificate Insurer, the Representative will (i)
substitute in lieu of such Mortgage Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan in
the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.03 or (ii)
purchase such Mortgage Loan at a purchase price equal to the Principal Balance
of the Mortgage Loan as of the date of purchase, before the occurrence of
Realized Losses, if any, plus 30 days' interest (or, in the case of a Pool II
Mortgage Loan, the actual number of days during the related interest period for
the Pool II Certificates) on such Principal Balance, computed at the weighted
average Class Adjusted Mortgage Loan Remittance Rates for the Pool I
Certificates with respect to a Pool I Mortgage Loan, the weighted average Class
Adjusted Mortgage Loan Remittance Rates for the Pool II Certificates, with
respect to a Pool II Mortgage Loan, the weighted average Class Adjusted Mortgage
Loan Remittance Rates for the Pool III Certificates, with respect to a Pool III
Mortgage Loan or the Class Adjusted Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate for the Pool
IV Certificates with respect to a Pool IV Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, as
of the next succeeding Determination Date, plus any accrued unpaid Servicing
Fees, Contingency Fees, Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances reimbursable to
the Servicer, plus the interest portion of any unreimbursed Insured Payments
made by the Certificate Insurer related to such Mortgage Loan, which purchase
price shall be deposited in the applicable Principal and Interest Account on the
next succeeding Determination Date except for the amount described above
relating to unreimbursed Insured Payments, which shall be paid directly by the
Representative to the Certificate Insurer.
(c) Upon receipt by the Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III
Mortgage Loans, the Custodian) of a certification of a Servicing Officer of the
Servicer of such substitution or purchase and the deposit of the amounts
described above in the applicable Principal and Interest Account (which
certification shall be in the form of Exhibit J hereto), the Trustee (or, with
respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Custodian) shall release to the
Servicer for release to the Representative the related Trustee's Mortgage File
and the Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the
Co-Trustee) shall execute, without recourse, and deliver such instruments of
transfer necessary to transfer such Mortgage Loan to the Representative
including, without limitation, for each FHA Loan, an FHA Transfer of Note Report
to be filed with the FHA. All costs of any such transfer shall be borne by the
Servicer.
If requested by either the Representative, the Servicer or the
Certificate Insurer, on the Remittance Date in June of each year, commencing
1997, the Trustee (and, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the
Custodian) shall deliver to the Representative, the Servicer and the Certificate
Insurer a certification detailing all transactions with respect to the Mortgage
Loans for which the Trustee or the Custodian holds a Trustee's Mortgage File
pursuant to this Agreement during the prior calendar year. Such certification
shall list all Trustee's Mortgage Files which were released by or returned to
the Trustee or the Custodian during the prior calendar year, the date of such
release or return, the reason for such release or return, and the person to whom
the Trustee's Mortgage File was released or the person who returned the
Trustee's Mortgage File.

concerning the individual Initial Pool I Mortgage Loans, Initial Pool II
Mortgage Loans, Initial Pool III Mortgage Loans or Initial Pool IV Mortgage
Loans, as the case may be (including, if such Subsequent Pool III Mortgage Loan
is an FHA Loan, the representations and warranties concerning the FHA Loans),
set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 (except that any reference therein to the
Cut-Off Date shall be deemed a reference to the applicable Subsequent Cut-Off
Date) and that the inclusion of all Subsequent Pool I Mortgage Loans, Subsequent
Pool II Mortgage Loans, Subsequent Pool III Mortgage Loans or Subsequent Pool IV
Mortgage Loans, as the case may be, being transferred to the Trust Fund on such
Subsequent Transfer Date will not change, in any material respect, the
characteristics of the Initial Pool I Mortgage Loans, Initial Pool II Mortgage
Loans, Initial Pool III Mortgage Loans or Initial Pool IV Mortgage Loans, as the
case may be, in the aggregate, set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 or in the
Prospectus Supplement dated December 26, 1996 forming a part of the Registration

(d) In connection with the transfer and assignment of the Subsequent
Mortgage Loans, the Representative agrees to satisfy the conditions set forth in

(e) In connection with each Subsequent Transfer Date, on the
Remittance Dates in January, February and March 1997 and the Special Remittance
Date, the Representative shall determine, and the Trustee shall cooperate with
the Representative in determining (i) the amount and correct dispositions of the
Capitalized Interest Requirement for each Pool, the Overfunded Interest Amounts
for each Pool, the Pool Pre-Funding Earnings for each Pool, the amounts of Pre-
Funding Account moneys allocated to each Pool and (ii) any other necessary
matters in connection with the administration of the Pre-Funding Account and of
the Capitalized Interest Account. If any amounts are incorrectly released to the
Holders of the Class R Certificates from the Pre-Funding Account or from the
Capitalized Interest Account, such Holders or the Representative shall
immediately repay such amounts to the Trustee.
(f) In connection with the transfer of any Subsequent Mortgage Loans
to the Trust Fund, the Representative, the Servicer and the Trustee may, with
the prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer, amend the definition of
"Specified Subordinated Amount" (or any component of the definition thereof)
with respect to the related Pool for the purpose of changing the related
Specified Subordinated Amount (or any component of the definition thereof).
Based upon the results of any additional due diligence procedures performed by
the Certificate Insurer after the Closing Date to determine compliance with the
Underwriting Guidelines dated August 10, 1995, the Certificate Insurer may
require the Representative, the Servicer and the Trustee to amend the definition
of "Specified Subordinated Amount" (or any component of the definition thereof)
with respect to the Pool for the purpose of changing the related Specified
Subordinated Amount (or any component of the definition thereof). Provided,
however, that any amendment of the definition of "Specified Subordinated Amount"
with respect to the related Pool, other than an amendment increasing the Pool I,
Pool II, Pool III or Pool IV Initial Specified Subordinated Amount (or any
component of the definition thereof), as the case may be, and accompanied by a
cash deposit into the Spread Account pursuant to Section 6.05, must comply with
the provisions of Section 13.02 hereof.
(g) Each Subsequent Mortgage Loan shall have been originated and
identified by the applicable Originator on or prior to the Closing Date;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if a mortgage loan that was identified as a Subsequent
Mortgage Loan does not satisfy the representations and warranties referenced in
Subsection (c) above, the applicable Originator may substitute for such loan
another Loan that satisfies the representations and warranties referenced in
Subsection (c) above.

Loan. The Mortgage Note does not permit or obligate the Servicer to make future
advances to the Mortgagor at the option of the Mortgagor;
(xx) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the
security, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of

Interest Rate without extension of the original maturity date which maturity
date is not more than 360 months after the original Due Date therefor;

Section 3.03 PURCHASE AND SUBSTITUTION.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive delivery of the Certificates
to the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by the Representative, the Servicer,
any Subservicer, any Custodian, the Trustee, the Co- Trustee or the Certificate
Insurer of a breach of any of such representations and warranties (or, in the
case of any Subsequent Mortgage Loan, any additional representation or warranty
set forth in Section 2.01(d) of the Insurance Agreement) which materially and
adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the
Certificateholders, or which materially and adversely affects the interests of
the Certificate Insurer, or the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan
in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage
Loan (notwithstanding that such representation and warranty was made to the
Representative's or Originators' best knowledge), the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the others. Within 60 days of the
earlier of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any breach of a
representation or warranty, the Representative shall (a) promptly cure such
breach in all material respects, (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan by depositing
in the applicable Principal and Interest Account, on the next succeeding
Determination Date, an amount in the manner specified in Section 2.05(b), or (c)
remove such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a
Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans, provided such substitution is effected not later than the date which is
two years after the Startup Day or at such later date, if the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer receive an Opinion of Counsel that such substitution would
not constitute a Prohibited Transaction or cause the Trust Fund to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time any Certificates are outstanding.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Representative
substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Servicer shall
effect such substitution by delivering to the Trustee (or, with respect to the
Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Co-Trustee) a certification in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit J, executed by a Servicing Officer and the documents
constituting the Trustee's Mortgage File for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans.
The Servicer shall deposit in the applicable Principal and Interest
Account all payments received in connection with such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans after the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments
received with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans on or before the
date of substitution will be retained by the Representative on behalf of the
related Originator. The Trust Fund will own all payments received on the Deleted
Mortgage Loan on or before the date of substitution, and the Representative on
behalf of the Originators shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts
subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Servicer
shall give written notice to the Trustee, the Representative and the Certificate
Insurer that such substitution has taken place and shall amend the applicable
Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from
the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects,
including Sections 2.04 and 2.05, and the Representative and the Originator
shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the covenants, representations
and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02. On the date of such
substitution, the Representative will remit to the Servicer, and the Servicer
will deposit into the applicable Principal and Interest Account an amount equal
to the Substitution Adjustment.
In addition to the cure, purchase and substitution obligation in
Section 2.05 and this Section 3.03, the Representative shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Co-Trustee, the Custodian, the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer against any loss, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs,
judgments and other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense
or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the
Representative's or any Originator's representations and warranties contained in
this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the
Representative or any Originator set forth in Sections 2.05 and 3.03 to cure,
purchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan and to indemnify the
Certificateholders, the Trustee, the Co-Trustee, the Custodian, and the
Certificate Insurer as provided in Sections 2.05 and 3.03 constitute the sole
remedies of the Trustee, the Co-Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Insurer
and the Certificateholders respecting a breach of the foregoing representations
and warranties.
Any cause of action against any Originator, the Servicer or the
Representative relating to or arising out of the breach of any representations
and warranties made in Sections 2.05, 3.01 or 3.02 shall accrue as to any
Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by any party and notice thereof
to the Representative or notice thereof by the Representative to the Trustee
(and, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Co-Trustee), (ii) failure
by the Representative to cure such breach or purchase or substitute such
Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon the Representative by
the Trustee (and, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Co- Trustee)
for all amounts payable in respect of such Mortgage Loan.
For as long as the Trust Fund shall exist, the Servicer, the Trustee
and the Co-Trustee shall act in accordance herewith to assure continuing
treatment of each of REMIC I and REMIC II as a REMIC. In particular, the Trustee
and the Co-Trustee shall not (a) sell or permit the sale of all or any portion
of the Mortgage Loans or of any Permitted Instrument unless such sale is as a
result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the
Trustee (or, with respect to a Pool III Mortgage Loan, the Trustee and the
Co-Trustee) has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale (i)
is in accordance with a qualified liquidation as defined in Section 860F(a)(4)
of the Code and as described in Section 11.01 hereof, or (ii) would not be
treated as a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2) of
the Code; and (b) except for the cash deposits into the Spread Account pursuant
to Section 6.05, accept any contribution to the Trust Fund after the Startup Day
without an Opinion of Counsel that such contribution is included within the
exceptions provided in Section 860G(d)(2) of the Code and therefore will not be
subject to the tax imposed by Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code.

(a) The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms annexed
hereto as Exhibits X- 0, X-0, X-0 and B-4 and shall, upon original issue, be
executed and delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee for authentication and
redelivery to or upon the order of the Representative, on behalf of the

2.04. All Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Servicer by its
President, one of its Executive Vice Presidents or Vice Presidents, or by its
Treasurer, in the denominations specified in the definition of Percentage
Interest, and shall be authenticated on behalf of the Trustee by one of its
authorized signatories. Certificates bearing the signatures of individuals who
were at the time of the execution or authentication of the Certificates the
proper officers of the Servicer or an authorized signatory of the Trustee, as
the case may be, shall bind the Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices
at the date of such Certificates. All Certificates issued hereunder shall be
dated the date of their authentication.
(b) REMIC II will be evidenced by (x) the REMIC II Regular
Certificates, which will be uncertificated and non-transferable and are hereby
designated as the "regular interests" in REMIC II and (y) the Class R-2
Certificates, which are hereby designated as the single "residual interest" in
REMIC II. Except as discussed below, principal and interest shall be paid on the
REMIC II Regular Certificates in the same order and priority as payments are to
be made on the Corresponding Classes of Certificates (disregarding the Class X
Certificates). The REMIC II Regular Certificates and the Class R-2 Certificates
will have the following designations and pass- through rates, and distributions
of principal and interest thereon shall be allocated to the Corresponding Class
of Certificates in the following manner:
REMIC II will be evidenced by (x) the Class II-A-1, Class II-A-1',
Class II-A-1", Class II-A-2', Class II- A-2", Class II-A-3', Class II-A-3",
Class II-A-4', Class II-A-4", Class II-A-5', Class II-A-5", Class II-A-6', Class
II-A-6", Class II-A-7', Class II-A-7", Class II-A-8', Class II-A-8", Class

II-A-11", Class II-A-12', Class II-A-12", Class II-A-13', Class II-A-13", Class
II-A-14', Class II-A-14", Class II-A-15', Class II-A-15", Class II-A-16' and
Class II- A-16" Certificates (the "REMIC II Regular Certificates"), which will
be uncertificated and non- transferable and are hereby designated as the
"regular interests" in REMIC II and (y) the Class R-2 Certificates, which are
hereby designated as the single "residual interest" in REMIC II. Except as
discussed below, principal and interest shall be paid on the REMIC II Regular
Certificates in the same order and priority as payments are to be made on the
Corresponding Classes of Certificates as set forth in the chart below
(disregarding the payments on the Class X Certificates). However, a payment of
Net Monthly Excess Cashflow that would otherwise be paid to a Single Prime Class
will be payable to a Double Prime Class in the same manner in which the Net
Monthly Excess Cashflow is paid to the Corresponding Class (and will be accrued
and added to principal on the corresponding Single Prime Class). Principal
payments in an amount equal to the principal payments to be made on the
Corresponding Class will be allocated between Class II-A-1 Certificates and any
Single Prime and Double Prime Classes corresponding to a Corresponding Class in
the ratio that 98% of the principal balance the Corresponding Class bears to the
aggregate principal balance of such Single Prime and Double Prime Classes.

1) Except as otherwise indicated, the amount of principal and
interest allocable from a REMIC II Certificate to its
Corresponding Class of Certificates on any Remittance Date
shall be 100%.
(2) The Remittance Rate on these REMIC II Certificates for any Remittance
Date shall equal the weighted average Mortgage Interest Rate of the
Mortgage Loans, based upon the then current Principal Balances of the
Mortgage Loans.
(3) Payments received with respect to principal on the II-A-1 Certificates
will be allocated to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-3, Class A-4,

Single Prime and Double Prime Classes, where each Double
Prime Class is first subject to a cap and floor equal to the

Single Prime Class is subject to a cap equal to 0%,
multiplied by the principal balance of the II-A-I, will be
allocated to the Class X Certificates.
(5) Interest in excess of the Class Remittance Rate of the Corresponding
Class will be allocated to the Class X Certificates.

Section 4.02 REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at its office, or at the office
of its designated agent, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall provide for the
registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as
herein provided. The Certificate Register shall contain the name, remittance
instructions, Class and Percentage Interest of each Certificateholder. The Bank
of New York is initially appointed Certificate Registrar for the purpose of
registering Certificates and transfer and exchanges of Certificates as herein
provided (the "Certificate Registrar").
(b) It is intended that the Class A Certificates be registered so as
to participate in a global book-entry system with the Depository, as set forth
herein. Each Class of Class A Certificates shall initially be issued in the form
of a single fully registered Certificate of such Class. The Class A Certificates
shall have an aggregate denomination equal to the following:
CLASS DENOMINATION
----- ------------
Class A-1 $ 66,305,000
Class A-2 $ 86,383,000
Class A-3 $ 96,468,000
Class A-4 $ 53,850,000
Class A-5 $ 47,916,000
Class A-6 $ 36,443,000
Class A-7 $ 44,807,000
Class A-8 $ 27,828,000
Class A-9 $ 40,000,000
Class A-10 $ 350,000,000
Class A-11 $ 77,391,000
Class A-12 $ 34,590,000
Class A-13 $ 27,684,000
Class A-14 $ 15,909,000
Class A-15 $ 19,426,000
Class A-16 $ 10,000,000
Upon initial issuance, the ownership of such Class A Certificates shall be
registered in the Register in the name of Cede & Co., or any successor thereto,
as nominee for the Depository.
The Representative and the Trustee are hereby authorized to execute
and deliver the Representation Letter with the Depository.
(c) With respect to Class A Certificates registered in the Register in
the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository, the Representative and the
Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to Direct or Indirect
Participants or beneficial owners for which the Depository holds Class A
Certificates from time to time as a Depository. Without limiting the immediately
preceding sentence, the Representative and the Trustee shall have no
responsibility or obligation with respect to (a) the accuracy of the records of
the Depository, Cede & Co., or any Direct or Indirect Participant with respect
to the ownership interest in the Class A Certificates, (b) the delivery to any
Direct or Indirect Participant or any other Person, other than a registered
Holder of a Class A Certificate or (c) the payment to any Direct or Indirect
Participant or any other Person, other than a registered Holder of a Class A
Certificate as shown in the Register, of any amount with respect to any
distribution of principal or interest on the Class A Certificates. No Person
other than a registered Holder of a Class A Certificate as shown in the Register
shall receive a certificate evidencing such Class A Certificate.
(d) 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 distributions by the mailing of checks or drafts to the registered
Holders of Class A Certificates appearing as registered Owners in the
Certificate Register on a Record Date, the name "Cede & Co." in this Agreement
shall refer to such new nominee of the Depository.
(e) In the event that (i) the Depository or the Representative 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 Class A Certificates and the Representative is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) the Representative at its sole option elects to
terminate the book-entry system through the Depository, the Class A 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 Representative may determine that the Class A 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 Representative, or such
depository's agent or designee but, if the Representative does not select such
alternative global book-entry system, then the Class A Certificates may be
registered in whatever name or names registered Holders of Class A Certificates
transferring Class A Certificates shall designate, in accordance with the
provisions hereof.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, so long as any Class A Certificates are registered in the name of Cede
& Co., as nominee of the Depository, all distributions of principal and interest
on such Class A Certificates and all notices with respect to such Class A
Certificates shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in
the Representation Letter.
(g) The Class R Certificates and Class X Certificates have not been
registered or qualified under the 1933 Act, or any state securities law. No
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Class R or Class X
Certificate shall be made unless such disposition is made pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the 1933 Act and effective registration
or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a
transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. In the
event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the 1933
Act, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require, in order to assure
compliance with the 1933 Act, that the Class R or Class X Certificateholder
desiring to effect such disposition and such Class R or Class X
Certificateholder's prospective transferee each certify to the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar in writing the facts surrounding such disposition. Unless
the Trustee requests otherwise, such certification shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit D hereto. In the event that such certification of facts does not
on its face establish the availability of an exemption under Rule 144A of the
1933 Act or under Section 4(2) or a comparable provision of the 1933 Act, the
Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such
transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the 1933 Act, which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or of the Trust Fund. The
Representative is not obligated under this Agreement to register the Class R
Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of
Class R or Class X Certificates without such registration or qualification.
(h) Each Person who has or who acquires any Percentage Interest in a
Class R or Class X Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition
of such Percentage Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following
provisions and to have irrevocably appointed the Representative or its designee
as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under
clause (v) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other
things necessary in connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person
acquiring any Percentage Interest in a Class R or Class X Certificate are
expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Percentage
Interest in a Class R or Class X Certificate shall be a
Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the
Representative of any change or impending change in its status
as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Percentage Interest in a Class R or Class X
Certificate may be transferred (including the sale to the
initial holder) and the Trustee shall not register the
transfer of a Class R or Class X Certificate unless the
Trustee and the Representative shall have been furnished with
(A) an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the proposed
transferee in the form attached as Exhibit K (and if required
by the Transfer Affidavit, the opinion of counsel, as therein
referenced) and (B) a certificate (a "Transfer Certificate")
of the transferor to the effect that such transferor has no
actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a
Permitted Transferee.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Percentage
Interest in a Class R or Class X Certificate shall agree (A)
to require a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom
such Person attempts to transfer its Percentage Interest in a
Class R Certificate, (B) to require a Transfer Affidavit from
any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee
or agent in connection with any transfer of a Class R or Class
X Certificate, (C) to deliver a Transfer Certificate to the
Trustee and the Representative in connection with any such
attempted transfer and (D) not to transfer its Percentage
Interest in a Class R or Class X Certificate or to cause the
transfer of a Percentage Interest in a Class R or Class X
Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge
that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(iv) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Percentage
Interest in a Class R or Class X Certificate in violation of
the provisions of this Section 4.02 shall be absolutely null
and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.
If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R
or Class X Certificate in violation of the provisions of this
Section 4.02, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee
shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive
to the date of registration of transfer of such Class R or
Class X Certificate. The Trustee shall notify the
Representative upon knowledge of a Responsible Officer that
the registration of transfer of a Class R or Class X
Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 4.02.
The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of transfer of a Class R or Class X Certificate
that is in fact not permitted by this Section 4.02 or for
making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder
thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer
was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit
and Transfer Certificate. The Trustee shall be entitled but
not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Class R or
Class X Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted
Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such
subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted
Transferee, all payments made on such Class R or Class X
Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments
so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the
Trustee to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate.
(v) If any purported transferee shall become a Holder
of a Class R or Class X Certificate in violation of the
restrictions in this Section 4.02, then the Representative or
its designee shall, without notice to the Holder or any prior
Holder of such Class R or Class X Certificate, as the case may
be, sell such Class R or Class X Certificate to a purchaser
selected by the Representative or its designee on such
reasonable terms as the Representative or its designee may
choose. Such purchaser may be the Representative itself or any
affiliate of the Representative. The proceeds of such sale,
net of commissions, expenses and taxes due, if any, will be
remitted by the Representative to the last preceding purported
transferee of such Class R or Class X Certificate, except that
in the event that the Representative determines that the
Holder or any prior Holder of such Class R or Class X
Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this
Section 4.02 or any other provision of this Agreement, the
Representative may withhold a corresponding amount from such
remittance as security for such claim. The terms and
conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be
determined in the sole discretion of the Representative or its
designee, and it shall not be liable to any Person having a
Percentage Interest in a Class R or Class X Certificate, as
applicable, as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
No Class R or Class X Certificate or Certificates or any interest
therein shall be acquired by or on behalf of a "benefit plan investor" described
in or subject to the plan asset regulations set forth at 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101,
unless an Opinion of Counsel is provided to the Representative and the Trustee
which establishes to their satisfaction that the transfer and/or the holding of
such Class R or Class X Certificates, as applicable, will not result in the
assets of the Trust Fund being deemed to be "plan assets" within the meaning of
Department of Labor Regulations ' 2510.3-101; subject the Trustee, the
Representative or the underwriter of the Class A Certificates, or any of their
affiliates, to the prohibited transaction rules under ERISA or excise taxes
under Section 4975 of the Code; or cause the fiduciary investment standards of
ERISA to apply to the assets of the Trust Fund.
Subject to the preceding paragraphs, upon surrender for registration
of transfer of any Certificate at such office, the Representative shall execute
in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, a new Certificate of
the same Class and Percentage Interest and dated the date of authentication by
the Trustee. The Certificate Registrar shall notify the Representative and the
Trustee of any such transfer.
At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations of a like
aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at such office. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for
exchange, the Servicer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate, the
Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.
(i) No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of
Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates. All Certificates
surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be marked canceled by the Trustee.
Section 4.03 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii)
there is delivered to the Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
such security or indemnity (which may include a letter of indemnity delivered by
an insurance company) as may be required by each of them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Servicer, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Servicer shall execute and deliver, and the Trustee shall
authenticate, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage
Interest, but bearing a number not contem poraneously outstanding. Upon the
issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 4.03, the Servicer and the
Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this
Section 4.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in
the applicable Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 4.04 PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.
Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of
transfer, the Servicer, the Representative, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer
and the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate
is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
remittances pursuant to Section 6.07 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and
the Representative, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the
Certificate Registrar shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.
ARTICLE V
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 5.01 DUTIES OF THE SERVICER.
(a) It is intended that each of REMIC I and REMIC II hereunder shall
constitute, and that the affairs of each of REMIC I and REMIC II shall be
conducted so as to qualify as a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as
defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such
intention, the Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the
Servicer is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of REMIC I and REMIC II
and as Tax Matters Person on behalf of REMIC I and REMIC II, and that in such
capacities it shall: (i) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in
a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax
Return (Form 1066) and any other Tax Return required to be filed by REMIC I and
REMIC II using a calendar year as the taxable year for each of REMIC I and REMIC
II and using the accrual method of accounting, 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 of the Certificates; (ii) make, or cause to be made, an election, on
behalf of each of REMIC I and REMIC II, to be treated as a REMIC on the federal
tax return of each of REMIC I and REMIC II for their first taxable year; (iii)
prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Trustee, the
Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and any other relevant
governmental taxing authority all information returns or reports as and when
required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions and any
other provision of federal, state or local income tax laws; (iv) to the extent
that the affairs of REMIC I or REMIC II are within its control, conduct such
affairs at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the
status of each of REMIC I and REMIC II as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and
any other applicable federal, state and local laws; (v) not knowingly or
intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the
termination of the REMIC status of either REMIC I or REMIC II or that would
cause the imposition of a prohibited transaction tax or a tax on contributions
to REMIC I or REMIC II; (vi) pay the amount of any and all federal, state, and
local taxes, including, without limitation, prohibited transaction taxes as
defined in Section 860F of the Code imposed on each of REMIC I and REMIC II when
and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent
the Servicer or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in
appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Servicer from withholding
payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such
proceedings); (vii) ensure that any such returns or reports filed on behalf of
REMIC I and REMIC II are properly executed by the appropriate person; (viii)
represent REMIC I and REMIC II in any administrative or judicial proceedings
relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority,
request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of REMIC I and REMIC
II, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend
any statute of limitations relating to any item of REMIC I or REMIC II and
otherwise act on behalf of REMIC I and REMIC II in relation to any tax matter
involving either REMIC I and REMIC II; (ix) as provided in Section 5.11 hereof,
make available information necessary for the computation of any tax imposed (1)
on transferors of residual interests to transferees that are not Permitted
Transferees or (2) on pass-through entities, any interest in which is held by an
entity which is not a Permitted Transferee; and (x) in connection with any FHA
Loan, timely pay to the FHA the FHA Insurance Premium required to be paid for
each FHA Loan. The Trustee will cooperate with the Servicer in the foregoing
matters and will sign, as Trustee, any and all Tax Returns required to be filed
by the REMIC I and REMIC II. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at such time as the
Trustee becomes the successor Servicer, the Representative shall serve as Tax
Matters Person and as such shall perform the duties described in this Section
5.01(a) until such time as an entity is appointed to succeed the Trustee as
Servicer. The Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and REMIC I or REMIC II, as
applicable, for any liability it may incur in connection with this Section
5.01(a) including reimbursement to the Certificate Insurer for any Insured
Payments made by the Certificate Insurer in connection with such liability, if
any, which indemnification shall survive the termination of REMIC I and REMIC
II; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not indemnify the Trustee for its
negligence or wilful misconduct.
With respect to any Mortgage Note (other than a Mortgage Note relating
to a Pool III Mortgage Loan) released by the Trustee to the Servicer or to any
Subservicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, other than a release
or satisfaction pursuant to Section 7.02, prior to such release, the Trustee
shall (a) complete all endorsements in blank so that the endorsement reads "Pay
to the order of The Bank of New York, as Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement dated as of November 30, 1996, 1996-D" and (b) complete a restrictive
endorsement that reads "The Bank of New York is the holder of the mortgage note
for the benefit of the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement dated as of November 30, 1996, 1996-D" with respect to those Mortgage
Notes (other than a Mortgage Note relating to a Pool III Mortgage Loan)
currently endorsed "Pay to the order of holder."
With respect to any Mortgage Note relating to a Pool III Mortgage Loan
released by the Co-Trustee to the Servicer or any Subservicer in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, other than a release or satisfaction pursuant to
Section 7.02 or a release to the Claims Administrator pursuant to Section
5.15(b), prior to such release, the Co-Trustee shall (a) complete all
endorsements in blank so that the endorsement reads "Pay to the order of First
Bank (N.A.), as Co- Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as
of November 30, 1996, 1996-D" and (b) complete a restrictive endorsement that
reads "First Bank (N.A.) is the holder of the mortgage note for the benefit of
the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of
November 30, 1996, 1996-D" with respect to those Mortgage Notes relating to Pool
III Mortgage Loans currently endorsed "Pay to the order of Holder."
(b) The Servicer, as independent contract servicer, shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, acting
alone, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration which the Servicer may deem necessary or desirable and consistent
with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer may enter into Subservicing
Agreements for any servicing and administration of Mortgage Loans with any
institution which is in compliance with the laws of each state necessary to
enable it to perform its obligations under such Subservicing Agreement and (x)
has (i) been designated an approved Seller- Servicer by FHLMC or FNMA for first
and second mortgage loans and (ii) has a net worth of at least $5,000,000 or (y)
is an Originator or another affiliate of the Servicer. The Servicer shall give
notice to the Certificate Insurer of the appointment of any Subservicer. Any
such Subservicing Agreement shall be consistent with and not violate the
provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any
Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
Subservicing Agreement and to either itself directly service the related
Mortgage Loans or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor
subservicer which qualifies hereunder.
(c) Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions
of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer
and Subservicer or reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or
otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the
Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer for the servicing
and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of
such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification
from the Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and
conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the
Mortgage Loans. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to
have received payments on Mortgage Loans when any Subservicer has received such
payments. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a
Subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Subservicer, and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
(d) Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer
in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between
the Subservicer and the Servicer alone, and the Trustee and Certificateholders
shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights,
obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer except as set
forth in Section 5.01(e).
(e) In the event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Servicer (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee or its
designee shall, subject to Section 10.02 hereof, thereupon assume all of the
rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement that
the Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee is then permitted and
elects to terminate any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with its terms. The
Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee shall be deemed
to have assumed all of the Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the
Servicer as a party to each Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if the
Subservicing Agreements had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the
Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the
Subservicing Agreements. The Servicer at its expense and without right of
reimbursement therefor, shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the
assuming party all documents and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement
and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts
collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the
orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the assuming
party.
(f) Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may
waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the
postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer's determination such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the
interests of the Class A Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer,
provided, however, that (unless (x) the Mortgagor is in default with respect to
the Mortgage Loan, or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, imminent
and the Servicer obtains written consent of the Certificate Insurer and (y) the
Servicer determines that any modification would not be considered a new mortgage
loan for federal income tax purposes) the Servicer may not permit any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage
Interest Rate, defer (subject to Section 5.12), or forgive the payment of any
principal or interest (unless in connection with the liquidation of the related
Mortgage Loan), or extend the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. No
costs incurred by the Servicer or any Subservicer in respect of Servicing
Advances shall for the purposes of distributions to Certificateholders be added
to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, and subject to the consent of the Certificate
Insurer, the Servicer shall continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to
execute and deliver on behalf of the Trustee and each Certificateholder, all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release,
discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably required by
the Servicer, the Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney
and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out
its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.
The Servicer, in servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, shall
employ or cause to be employed procedures (including collection, foreclosure and
REO Property management procedures) and exercise the same care that it
customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering mortgage loans
for its own account, in accordance with accepted second mortgage servicing
practices (or, in the case of FHA Loans, in accordance with accepted Title I
servicing practices or, in the case of Multifamily Loans, in accordance with
accepted multifamily loan servicing practices) of prudent lending institutions
and giving due consideration to the Certificate Insurer's and the
Certificateholders' reliance on the Servicer.
(g) On and after such time as the Trustee and the Co-Trustee receive
the resignation of, or notice of the removal of, the Servicer from its rights
and obligations under this Agreement, and with respect to resignation pursuant
to Section 9.04, after receipt of the Opinion of Counsel required pursuant to
Section 9.04, the Trustee or its designee (or, with respect to the Pool III
Mortgage Loans, the Co-Trustee or its designee) shall assume all of the rights
and obligations of the Servicer, subject to Section 10.02 hereof. The Servicer
shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of the Servicer, deliver
to the Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Custodian)
all documents and records (including computer tapes and diskettes) relating to
the Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the
Servicer and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of servicing rights and obligations to the assuming party.
(h) In the event that any tax is imposed on REMIC I or REMIC II, such
tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of
the Class R-1 or Class R-2 Certificates, respectively. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, the Servicer is hereby authorized to retain
from the Pool Remaining Amount Available for the respective Pool sufficient
funds to reimburse the Servicer for the payment of such tax (to the extent that
the Servicer has paid any such tax and has not been previously reimbursed or
indemnified therefor). The Servicer agrees to first seek indemnification for any
such tax payment from any indemnifying parties before reimbursing itself from
amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Class R- 1 or Class R-2
Certificates.
(i) After the Closing Date, the Servicer shall confirm, or cause to be
confirmed, whether all on-site or off-site improvements on the Mortgaged
Properties relating to FHA Loans have been completed and, if such improvements
have not been completed, to submit the appropriate filings to the FHA.
Section 5.02 LIQUIDATION OF MORTGAGE LOANS.
In the event that any payment due under any Mortgage Loan and not
postponed pursuant to Section 5.01 is not paid when the same becomes due and
payable, or in the event the Mortgagor fails to perform any other covenant or
obligation under the Mortgage Loan and such failure continues beyond any
applicable grace period, the Servicer shall take such action as it shall deem to
be in the best interests of the Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholders,
as the case may be. The Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably
effect the ownership in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, as the case may be, of Mortgaged Properties relating to
defaulted Mortgage Loans as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made
for collection of delinquent payments in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5.10 and, in the case of FHA Loans, for which a Claim is not required to
be submitted to the FHA pursuant to Section 5.15. In connection with such
foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall exercise collection and
foreclosure procedures with the same degree of care and skill in its exercise or
use as it would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its
own affairs. 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 Mortgaged Property in determining whether to
foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of a Mortgaged
Property. Any amounts advanced in connection with such foreclosure or other
action shall constitute "Servicing Advances."
After a Mortgage Loan has become a Liquidated Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer shall promptly prepare and forward to the Trustee, the Certificate
Insurer and, upon request, any Certificateholder, a Liquidation Report, in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit N, detailing the Liquidation Proceeds received
from the Liquidated Mortgage Loan, expenses incurred with respect thereto, and
any Realized Loss incurred in connection therewith.
Section 5.03 ESTABLISHMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ACCOUNTS;
DEPOSITS IN PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ACCOUNTS.
(a) The Servicer shall cause to be established and maintained one or
more Principal and Interest Accounts for the Trust Fund, in one or more
Designated Depository Institutions, in the form of time deposit or demand
accounts, which may be interest-bearing or such accounts may be trust accounts
wherein the moneys therein are invested in Permitted Instruments, titled "The
Money Store Inc., in trust for the registered holders of The Money Store Asset
Backed Certificates, 1996-D, Class A, Class X, Class R and various Mortgagors."
Each such Principal and Interest Account shall be insured by the BIF or SAIF
administered by the FDIC to the maximum extent provided by law. The creation of
any Principal and Interest Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in
the form of Exhibit C hereto.
A copy of such letter agreement shall be furnished to the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer and, upon request, any Certificateholder.
(b) The Servicer and each Subservicer shall deposit without
duplication (within 24 hours of receipt thereof) in the applicable Principal and
Interest Account and retain therein:
(i) all payments received after the Cut-Off Date on account
of principal on the Pool I, Pool II, Pool III or Pool IV
Mortgage Loans, as the case may be, including all Excess
Payments, Principal Prepayments and Curtailments received
after the Cut-Off Date and all payments in respect of the
applicable FHA Insurance Premium;
(ii) all payments received after the Cut-Off Date on account
of interest on the Pool I, Pool II, Pool III or Pool IV
Mortgage Loans, as the case may be;
(iii) all Net Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to
the Pool I, Pool II, Pool III or Pool IV Mortgage Loans, as
the case may be;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds received with respect to the
Pool I, Pool II, Pool III or Pool IV Mortgage Loans, as the
case may be (other than amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, or to
be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with customary
second mortgage servicing procedures);
(v) all Released Mortgaged Property Proceeds received with
respect to the Pool I, Pool II, Pool III or Pool IV Mortgage
Loans, as the case may be;
(vi) any amounts paid in connection with the purchase of any
Pool I, Pool II, Pool III or Pool IV Mortgage Loan, as the
case may be, and the amount of any Substitution Adjustment
received with respect to the Pool I, Pool II, Pool III or Pool
IV Mortgage Loans, as the case may be, paid pursuant to
Sections 2.05 and 3.03;
(vii) any amount required to be deposited in the applicable
Principal and Interest Account pursuant to Section 5.04, 5.08,
5.10 or 5.15(c); and
(viii) the amount of any credit life insurance premium refund
which is not due to the related Mortgagor.
Also, for each Mortgage Loan delivered to the Trustee or Co-Trustee on
the Closing Date that was originated on or after December 1, 1996, the Servicer
shall deposit in the applicable Principal and Interest Account 30 days' interest
on the original principal balance of each such Mortgage Loan calculated at the
applicable Mortgage Interest Rate.
(c) The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Principal and
Interest Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicing Fee and the
Contingency Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and payments in the nature
of prepayment penalties or premiums, late payment charges and assumption fees,
to the extent received and permitted by Sections 7.01 and 7.03, together with
the difference between any Liquidation Proceeds and the related Net Liquidation
Proceeds, need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Principal and Interest
Account.
(d) Any interest earnings on funds held in the Principal and Interest
Account paid by a Designated Depository Institution shall be for the account of
the Servicer and may only be withdrawn from the applicable Principal and
Interest Account by the Servicer immediately following its monthly remittance of
the Pool Available Remittance Amounts for the related Pool to the Trustee. Any
reference herein to amounts on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account
shall refer to amounts net of such investment earnings.
Section 5.04 PERMITTED WITHDRAWALS FROM THE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
ACCOUNTS.
The Servicer shall withdraw funds from the Principal and Interest
Accounts for the following purposes:
(a) to effect the remittance to the Trustee on each Determination Date
as follows: the portion of the Excess Spread relating to the Mortgage Loans of
the related Pool and the portion of the Pool Available Remittance Amounts of the
related Pool, that are net of Compensating Interest and Monthly Advances for the
related Remittance Date to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account.
For the purposes of this Section 5.04(a), the calculation of the Pool Available
Remittance Amounts shall be made without reference to the actual deposit of
funds in the respective Certificate Accounts;
(b) to reimburse itself for any accrued unpaid Servicing Fees, unpaid
Contingency Fees, unreimbursed Monthly Advances and for unreimbursed Servicing
Advances to the extent that funds relating to such amount have been deposited in
the applicable Principal and Interest Account (and not netted from Monthly
Payments received). The Servicer's right to reimbursement for unpaid Servicing
Fees, unpaid Contingency Fees and, except as provided in the following sentence,
Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances shall be limited to Liquidation
Proceeds, Released Mortgaged Property Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such
other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from the Mortgagor or
otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan in respect of which such unreimbursed
amounts are owed. The Servicer's right to reimbursement for Servicing Advances
and Monthly Advances in excess of such amounts shall be limited to any late
collections of interest received on the related Pool of Mortgage Loans,
generally, including Liquidation Proceeds, Released Mortgaged Property Proceeds
and Insurance Proceeds and any other amounts which would otherwise be
distributed to the Class X or Class R Certificateholders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the Servicer's right to such reimbursement pursuant hereto shall be
subordinate to the rights of the applicable Class A Certificateholders and the
right of the Certificate Insurer to receive the Pool Carry-Forward Amount of the
related Pool;
(c) to withdraw any amount received from a Mortgagor that is
recoverable and sought to be recovered as a voidable preference by a trustee in
bankruptcy pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code in accordance with a
final, nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction;
(d) (i) to make investments in Permitted Instruments and (ii) to pay
to itself, as permitted by Section 5.03(d), interest paid in respect of
Permitted Instruments or by a Designated Depository Institution on funds
deposited in the applicable Principal and Interest Account;
(e) to withdraw any funds deposited in the applicable Principal and
Interest Account that were not required to be deposited therein or were
deposited therein in error;
(f) (i) to pay itself servicing compensation pursuant to Section 7.03
hereof or interest as permitted under the definition of Excess Proceeds or (ii)
to pay the Remainder Excess Spread Amount with respect to any Remittance Date to
itself and/or the Representative for any Reimbursable Amounts and the remainder
to the Trustee for remittance to the Class X Certificate holders, as the case
may be;
(g) to withdraw amounts required to be deposited into the Servicing
Account pursuant to Section 6.15(b).
(h) to clear and terminate each Principal and Interest Account upon
the termination of the related Trust Fund.
So long as no default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, and consistent with any requirements of the Code, the Principal and
Interest Account shall either be maintained as an interest-bearing accounts
meeting the requirements set forth in Section 5.03(a), or the funds held therein
may be invested by the Servicer (to the extent practicable) in Permitted
Instruments. In either case, funds in the Principal and Interest Account must be
available for withdrawal without penalty, and any Permitted Instruments must
mature not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Determination
Date next following the date of such investment (except that if such Permitted
Instrument is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account, then
such Permitted Instrument shall mature not later than such Determination Date)
and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All Permitted
Instruments must be held by or registered in the name of "The Money Store Inc.
in trust for the registered holders of The Money Store Asset Backed
Certificates, Series 1996-D." All interest or other earnings from funds on
deposit in the Principal and Interest Account (or any Permitted Instruments
thereof) shall be the exclusive property of the Servicer, and may be withdrawn
from either Principal and Interest Account pursuant to clause (d)(ii) above. The
amount of any losses incurred in connection with the investment of funds in the
applicable Principal and Interest Account in Permitted Instruments shall be
deposited in the applicable Principal and Interest Account by the Servicer from
its own funds immediately as realized without reimbursement therefor.
Section 5.05 PAYMENT OF TAXES, INSURANCE AND OTHER CHARGES.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain
accurate records reflecting fire and hazard insurance coverage.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is a first Mortgage Loan, or
as to which the Servicer has advanced the outstanding principal balance of any
Prior Lien pursuant to Section 5.14 or as to which the Servicer maintains escrow
accounts, the Servicer shall maintain accurate records reflecting the status of
ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other charges which are or may
become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the status of primary mortgage
guaranty insurance premiums, if any, and fire and hazard insurance coverage and
shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such charges
(including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof prior to the
applicable penalty or termination date and at a time appropriate for securing
maximum discounts allowable, employing for such purpose deposits of the
Mortgagor in any escrow account which shall have been estimated and accumulated
by the Servicer in amounts sufficient for such purposes, as allowed under the
terms of the Mortgage (provided, however, that to the extent the Servicer
advances its own funds, such advances shall constitute "Servicing Advances"). To
the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for escrow payments, the Servicer
shall determine that any such payments are made by the Mortgagor at the time
they first become due. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the Servicer may choose not to make the payments described above on a
timely basis, provided that collections on the related Mortgage Loan that are
required to be remitted to the Trust Fund would not be reduced, as a result of
such failure to timely pay, from the amount that would otherwise be remitted to
the Trust Fund; provided further, however, that this provision shall not have
the effect of permitting the Servicer to take, or fail to take, any action in
respect of the payments described herein that would adversely affect the
interest of the Trust Fund in any Mortgaged Property.
Section 5.06 TRANSFER OF ACCOUNTS.
The Servicer may, upon written prior notice to the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer, transfer the Principal and Interest Account to a different
Designated Depository Institution.
Section 5.07 MAINTENANCE OF HAZARD INSURANCE.
The Servicer shall cause to be maintained, subject to the provisions
of Section 5.08 hereof, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage
customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount
which is at least equal to the least of (a) the outstanding principal balance
owing on the Mortgage Loan and any Prior Lien, (b) the full insurable value of
the premises securing the Mortgage Loan and (c) the minimum amount required to
compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis. If the Mortgaged
Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Flood Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has
been made available) the Servicer will cause to be purchased a flood insurance
policy with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing
coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan and any Prior Lien, (ii) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged
Property, or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Servicer shall also maintain, to
the extent such insurance is available, on REO Property, fire and hazard
insurance in the amounts described above, liability insurance and, to the extent
required and available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as
amended, flood insurance in an amount equal to that required above. Any amounts
collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be
applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property, or to be
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with customary second mortgage servicing
procedures) shall be deposited in the applicable Principal and Interest Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 5.04. It is understood and agreed that
no earthquake or other additional insurance need be required by the Servicer of
any Mortgagor or maintained on REO Property, other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance. All policies required hereunder shall be
endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with losses payable to the Servicer.
Section 5.08 MAINTENANCE OF MORTGAGE IMPAIRMENT INSURANCE POLICY.
In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket
policy insuring against fire and hazards of extended coverage on all of the
Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy names the Trustee or the
Co-Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders as loss payee and provides
coverage in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal balance on the
Mortgage Loans without co-insurance, and otherwise complies with the
requirements of Section 5.07, the Servicer shall be deemed conclusively to have
satisfied its obligations with respect to fire and hazard insurance coverage
under Section 5.07, it being understood and agreed that such blanket policy may
contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that
there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy
complying with Section 5.07, and there shall have been a loss which would have
been covered by such policy, deposit in the applicable Principal and Interest
Account from the Servicer's own funds the difference, if any, between the amount
that would have been payable under a policy complying with Section 5.07 and the
amount paid under such blanket policy. Upon the request of the Certificate
Insurer, the Trustee, the Co-Trustee or any Certificateholder, the Servicer
shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee, the Co-Trustee or such
Certificateholder, as the case may be, a certified true copy of such policy. The
current issuer of such policy is Lloyds of London.
Section 5.09 FIDELITY BOND.
The Servicer shall maintain with a responsible company, and at its own
expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy,
in a minimum amount equal to $1,500,000, and a maximum deductible of $100,000,
if commercially available, with coverage on all employees acting in any capacity
requiring them to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the
Mortgage Loans ("Servicer Employees"). The fidelity bond shall insure the
Trustee, the Co-Trustee and their respective officers, and employees, against
losses resulting from forgery, theft, embezzlement or fraud, by such Servicer
Employees. The errors and omissions policy shall insure against losses resulting
from the errors, omissions and negligent acts of such Servicer Employees. No
provision of this Section 5.09 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and
omissions insurance shall relieve the Servicer from its duties as set forth in
this Agreement. Upon the request of the Trustee, the Co-Trustee, the Certificate
Insurer or any Certificateholder, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to
the Trustee, the Co-Trustee, the Certificate Insurer or such Certificateholder a
certified true copy of such fidelity bond and insurance policy. The current
issuer of such fidelity bond and insurance policy is National Union Fire
Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Section 5.10 TITLE, MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSITION OF REO PROPERTY.
In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure (an "REO Property"), the deed or
certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee (or, with respect
to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Co-Trustee) for the benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders.
The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO
Property for the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer solely for the
purpose of its prudent and prompt disposition and sale. The Servicer shall,
either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, manage, conserve,
protect and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages,
conserves, protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account,
and in the same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO
Property is managed. The Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may
temporarily rent the same) on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to
be in the best interest of the Certificate Insurer and the Pool I, Pool II, Pool
III or Pool IV Certificateholders, as the case may be.
The Servicer shall cause to be deposited in the applicable Principal
and Interest Account, no later than five Business Days after the receipt
thereof, all revenues received with respect to the conservation and disposition
of the related REO Property net of funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of the REO Property and the fees of any managing
agent acting on behalf of the Servicer.
The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer
at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the Servicer deems to be
in the best interest of the Pool I, Pool II, Pool III or Pool IV
Certificateholders, as the case may be and the Certificate Insurer. The proceeds
of sale of the REO Property shall be promptly deposited in the Principal and
Interest Account as received from time to time and, as soon as practicable
thereafter, the expenses of such sale shall be paid, the Servicer shall, subject
to Section 5.04, reimburse itself for any related unreimbursed Servicing
Advances, unpaid Servicing Fees, unpaid Contingency Fees and unreimbursed
Monthly Advances, and the Servicer shall deposit in the Principal and Interest
Account the net cash proceeds of such sale to be distributed to the Pool I, Pool
II, Pool III or Pool IV Certificateholders, as the case may be, in accordance
with Section 6.08 hereof.
In the event any Mortgaged Property is acquired as aforesaid or
otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan,
the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property within two years after its
acquisition unless the Servicer shall have received an Opinion of Counsel also
addressed to the Certificate Insurer to the effect that the holding of such
Mortgaged Property subsequent to two years after its acquisition will not result
in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in section
860F of the Code or cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Class A Certificates are outstanding. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Servicer
pursuant to this Section shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented)
or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust
Fund, and no construction shall take place on such Mortgaged Property, in such a
manner or pursuant to any terms that would cause such Mortgaged Property to fail
to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code or result in the receipt by the Trust Fund of any "income from
non-permitted assets" which is subject to taxation within the meaning of
Sections 860G(c) and 857(b)(4)(B) of the Code. If a period greater than two
years is permitted under this Agreement and is necessary to sell any REO
Property, the Servicer shall give appropriate notice to the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer (and, with respect to a Pool III Mortgage Loan, the Co-
Trustee) and shall report monthly to the Trustee (and, with respect to a Pool
III Mortgage Loan, the Co-Trustee) as to the progress being made in selling such
REO Property.
Section 5.11 CERTAIN TAX INFORMATION.
The Servicer shall furnish (a) any information which may be required
under the Code including the computation of the present value of the "excess
inclusions" (as defined in Section 860E of the Code) with respect to any
transfer of a Class R Certificate, and, upon request, shall provide such
information to any Holder of a Class R Certificate and to the Internal Revenue
Service within 60 days of such request for a reasonable fee and (b) the
information required to be furnished pursuant to Sections 1.860F-4 and 1.6049-7
of the Regulations.
Section 5.12 COLLECTION OF CERTAIN MORTGAGE LOAN PAYMENTS.
The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments
called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to
the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, comply with
the terms and provisions of any applicable hazard insurance policy. 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 Mortgage Loan or any other fee
or charge which the Servicer would be entitled to retain hereunder as servicing
compensation and extend the due date for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a
period (with respect to each payment as to which the due date is extended) not
greater than 125 days after the initially scheduled due date for such payment
provided that the Servicer determines such extension would not be considered a
new mortgage loan for federal income tax purposes. In the event the Servicer
shall consent to the deferment of the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage
Note, the Servicer shall nonetheless make payment of any required Monthly
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 5.04(b) hereof.
Section 5.13 ACCESS TO CERTAIN DOCUMENTATION AND INFORMATION REGARDING
THE MORTGAGE LOANS.
The Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Co-Trustee, the
Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer, the FDIC, the Office of Thrift
Supervision and the supervisory agents and examiners of each of the foregoing
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable
local, state and federal regulations, 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 5.14 SUPERIOR LIENS.
The Servicer shall file of record a request for notice of any action
by a superior lienholder under a Prior Lien for the protection of the Trustee's
interest (or, with respect to a Pool III Mortgage Loan, the Co-Trustee), where
permitted by local law and whenever applicable state law does not require that a
junior lienholder be named as a party defendant in foreclosure proceedings in
order to foreclose such junior lienholder's equity of redemption. The Servicer
must also notify any superior lienholder in writing of the existence of the
Mortgage Loan and request notification of any action (as described below) to be
taken against the Mortgagor or the Mortgaged Property by the superior
lienholder.
If the Servicer is notified that any superior lienholder has
accelerated or intends to accelerate the obligations secured by any Prior Lien,
or has declared or intends to declare a default under the mortgage or the
promissory note secured thereby, or has filed or intends to file an election to
have the Mortgaged Property sold or foreclosed, the Servicer shall take, on
behalf of the Trust Fund, whatever actions are necessary to protect the
interests of the related Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, and/or
to preserve the security of the related Mortgage Loan, subject to the
application of the REMIC Provisions. The Servicer shall immediately notify the
Trustee and the Certificate Insurer (and, with respect to a Pool III Mortgage
Loan, the Co-Trustee) of any such action or circumstances. The Servicer will
advance the necessary funds to cure the default or reinstate the superior lien,
if such advance is in the best interests of the Certificate Insurer and the
related Certificateholders. The Servicer shall thereafter take such action as is
necessary to recover the amount so advanced.
Section 5.15 DUTIES OF THE CLAIMS ADMINISTRATOR.
(a) In connection with each FHA Loan, the Representative, the
Servicer, the Claims Administrator and the Originators will comply at all times
with the provisions of Title I and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder in servicing each FHA Loan and making claims for reimbursement with
respect to each FHA Loan, and will at all times hold a valid Contract of
Insurance from the FHA for such purposes (unless such Contract of Insurance is
terminated so as not to affect the obligation of FHA to provide insurance
coverage with respect to the FHA Loans).
(b) If any FHA Loan becomes a 90 Day Delinquent Pool III Loan, and if
sufficient coverage is available in the Reserve Amount to make an FHA Payment
with respect to such FHA Loan, the Claims Administrator may, in its sole
discretion, during any subsequent Due Period, determine to file a Claim with the
FHA with respect to such 90 Day Delinquent Pool III Loan. If the Claims
Administrator determines to file such a Claim, the Claims Administrator will
notify the Co-Trustee and the Custodian no later than the Determination Date
following such determination by an Officer's Certificate in the form of Exhibit
J-1 hereto and shall request delivery of the related Trustee's Mortgage File.
Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Custodian shall, no later
than the related Remittance Date, release to the Claims Administrator the
related Trustee's Mortgage File and the Co-Trustee and the Custodian shall
execute and deliver such instruments necessary to enable the Claims
Administrator to file a Claim with the FHA on behalf of the Co-Trustee. Within
120 days of its receipt of the related Trustee's Mortgage File, the Claims
Administrator shall, in its sole discretion, either file a Claim with the FHA
for an FHA Payment with respect to such 90 Day Delinquent Pool III Loan or, if
the Claims Administrator determines not to file such a Claim, return to the
Custodian on behalf of the Co-Trustee the related Trustee's Mortgage File.
(c) With respect to any 90 Day Delinquent Pool III Loan transferred to
the Claims Administrator pursuant to clause (b) above, the Claims Administrator
shall deposit (or, if the Claims Administrator is not also the Servicer, the
Claims Administrator shall instruct the Servicer to deposit) in the Principal
and Interest Account within 24 hours of receipt the following amounts (such
amounts to be net of any amounts that would be reimbursable to the Servicer
under Section 5.04(b) with respect to amounts in the Principal and Interest
Account): (i) any FHA Payments; (ii) the amount, if any, by which the FHA
Payment was reduced in accordance with FHA Regulations due to the Claims
Administrator enforcing a lien on the Mortgaged Property prior to the lien of
the related 90 Day Delinquent Pool III Loan; and (iii) any principal and
interest payments received with respect to a 90 Day Delinquent Pool III Loan
after the Due Period in which the FHA Loan is transferred to the Claims
Administrator and before either the related FHA Payment is paid or the related
Trustee's Mortgage File is returned to the Co-Trustee on behalf of the Trustee,
as the case may be (the amounts referred to in (ii) and (iii) above are
referenced to herein as "Related Payments").
(d) If an FHA Loan becomes a 90 Day Delinquent Pool III Loan when
there is insufficient coverage in the Reserve Amount, or if the Claims
Administrator determines not to file a Claim with the FHA with respect to such
90 Day Delinquent Pool III Loan, the Co-Trustee will not transfer such FHA Loan
to the Claims Administrator, no Claim will be made to the FHA and the Servicer
may take other action, including the commencement of foreclosure proceedings, on
the related Mortgaged Property.
(e) If a Claim is rejected by the FHA and if the Claims Administrator
is no longer The Money Store Inc., the Claims Administrator shall promptly
notify the Servicer and the Representative of such rejection. Further, if a
Claim is rejected by the FHA, other than as a result of depletion of the Reserve
Amount, the related Originator shall be deemed to have breached its
representation and warranty contained in Section 3.02 (nnn) and the
Representative shall be required to repurchase the related 90 Day Delinquent
Pool III Loan by depositing in the Principal and Interest Account, on the next
succeeding Determination Date, an amount and in the manner specified in Section
2.05(b).
Section 5.16 CO-TRUSTEE NOT TO HOLD OTHER FHA INSURED TITLE I LOANS.

Agreement, the Co- Trustee shall not own, whether as a result of its origination
or by purchase, in its own name or in any trust capacity, any other loans
insured by the FHA under the Title I program other than the FHA Loans; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Co-Trustee may own other loans insured by the FHA under the
Title I program if such loans (i) were originated or purchased by the
Originators or their affiliates, (ii) are part of a pool formed for the purpose
of issuing certificates and (iii) such certificates are insured by the
Certificate Insurer and receive from each Rating Agency the same rating assigned
to the Certificates.

Section 6.02 ESTABLISHMENT OF PRE-FUNDING ACCOUNT AND CAPITALIZED
INTEREST ACCOUNT; DEPOSITS IN PRE-FUNDING ACCOUNT AND CAPITALIZED INTEREST
ACCOUNT; PERMITTED WITHDRAWALS FROM PRE-FUNDING ACCOUNT AND CAPITALIZED INTEREST
ACCOUNT.
(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Representative shall establish
and maintain with the Trustee in its trust department a trust account, which
shall not be interest-bearing, titled "TMS Pre-Funding Account 1996-D" (the
"Pre-Funding Account"). The Pre-Funding Account shall constitute part of the
Trust Fund but not be asset of the REMIC I or REMIC II. It is an outside reserve
fund, the owners of which are the Class R-1 Certificateholders and for Federal
tax purposes, amounts, if any, transferred by REMIC I to the Pre-Funding Account
are treated as distributed by REMIC I to the Class R-1 Certificateholders. The
Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit into the Pre-Funding Account and
retain therein the Original Pre-Funded Amount in an amount equal to the sum of
(i) $124,984,176.64 from the proceeds of the sale of the Pool I Certificates,
(ii) $76,772,782.20 from the proceeds of the sale of the Pool II Certificates,
(iii) $54,947,573.46 from the proceeds of the sale of the Pool III Certificates
and (iv) $4,799.75 from the proceeds of the sale of the Pool IV Certificates.
(b) On each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Representative shall
instruct the Trustee to withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account an amount equal to
100% of the aggregate Principal Balances of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans (or,
with respect to the Low Interest Mortgage Loans, an amount equal to the product
of the percentage set forth on Exhibit T attached hereto determined by referring
to the columns entitled "Coupon" and "Remaining Term" and the aggregate
Principal Balances of such Subsequent Mortgage Loans) sold to the Trust Fund on
such Subsequent Transfer Date and pay such amount to or upon the order of the
Representative with respect to such transfer; in connection with such
instruction, the Representative shall additionally inform the Trustee whether
such Subsequent Mortgage Loans are being transferred in respect of Pool I, Pool
II, Pool III or Pool IV. In no event shall the Representative be permitted to
instruct the Trustee to release from the Pre-Funding Account with respect to
subsequent Mortgage Loans to be transferred to Pool I, Pool II, Pool III or Pool
IV an amount in excess of $124,984,176.64, $76,772,782.20, $54,947,573.46 and
$4,799.75, respectively.
(c) If at the end of the Funding Period amounts still remain in the
Pre-Funding Account, the Servicer shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw from
the Pre-Funding Account on the immediately following Remittance Date and deposit
in the appropriate Certificate Account any Pre- Funded Amount relating to the
Pool I, Pool II, Pool III and Pool IV Mortgage Loans, as the case may be, then
remaining in the Pre-Funding Account. However, if at the close of business on
March 27, 1997, amounts still remain in the Pre-Funding Account, the Servicer
shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account on the
Special Remittance Date and deposit in the applicable Certificate Account any
Pre-Funded Amount then remaining in the Pre-Funding Account.
(d) On the Remittance Dates occurring in January, February and March
1997, the Trustee shall transfer from the Pre-Funding Account to the appropriate
Certificate Account the Pool Pre-Funding Earnings for the related Pool, if any,
applicable to each such Remittance Date.
(e) No later than the Closing Date, the Representative shall establish
and maintain with the Trustee in its trust department a trust account, which
shall not be interest-bearing, titled "TMS Capitalized Interest Account 1996-D"
(the "Capitalized Interest Account"). The Capitalized Interest Account shall
constitute part of the Trust Fund but not a part of REMIC I or REMIC II. It is
an outside reserve fund, the owners of which are the Class R-1
Certificateholders and for Federal tax purposes amounts, if any, transferred by
REMIC I to the Capitalized Interest Account are treated as distributed by REMIC
I to the Class R Certificateholders. The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt,
deposit into the Capitalized Interest Account $2,285,069.45. If prior to the end
of the Funding Period the funds on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account are
invested in a guaranteed investment contract, repurchase agreement or other
arrangement acceptable to the Certificate Insurer, that constitutes a Permitted
Instrument, the Trustee shall, within one Business Day of its receipt of written
notification from the Certificate Insurer, withdraw from the Capitalized
Interest Account and pay to the Owners of the Class R-1 Certificates the amount
set forth in such written notification.
(f) On each Subsequent Transfer Date the Representative may instruct
the Trustee to withdraw from the Capitalized Interest Account and pay on such
Subsequent Transfer Date to the Owners of the Class R-1 Certificates the
Overfunded Interest Amount for such Subsequent Transfer Date, as calculated by
the Representative pursuant to Section 2.09(h) hereof.
(g) On the Remittance Dates occurring in January, February and March
1997, the Trustee shall transfer from the Capitalized Interest Account to the
appropriate Certificate Account the Pool Capitalized Interest Requirement for
the related Pool, if any, for such Remittance Dates.
(h) On the Special Remittance Date, the Trustee shall transfer from
the Capitalized Interest Account to the Certificate Account the Capitalized
Interest Requirement, if any, for such Special Remittance Date. Any amounts
remaining in the Capitalized Interest Account after taking into account such
transfer shall be paid on such Special Remittance Date to the Holders of the
Class R-1 Certificates, and the Capitalized Interest Account shall be closed.
Section 6.03 ESTABLISHMENT OF EXPENSE ACCOUNTS; DEPOSITS IN EXPENSE
ACCOUNTS; PERMITTED WITHDRAWALS FROM EXPENSE ACCOUNTS.
(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee will establish with
itself in its trust department four separate trust accounts, which shall not be
interest-bearing, titled "TMS Expense Account 1996-D-I," "TMS Expense Account
1996-D-II," "TMS Expense Account 1996-D-III" and "TMS Expense Account 1996-D-IV"
(each, an "Expense Account" and together the "Expense Accounts"). The Trustee
shall deposit into the applicable Expense Account:
(i) on each Remittance Date from the amounts on
deposit in the applicable Certificate Account an amount equal
to one-twelfth of that portion of the Annual Expense Escrow
Amount relating to the Pool I, Pool II, Pool III or Pool IV
Mortgage Loans, as the case may be, subject to the provisions
of Section 6.08(d); and
(ii) upon receipt, amounts required to be paid by the
Servicer pursuant to Section 6.07(e) in connection with losses
on investments of amounts in the applicable Expense Account.
If, at any time the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Expense Accounts
shall be insufficient to pay in full the fees and expenses of the Trustee and
the Co-Trustee then due with respect to the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall make
demand on the Servicer to advance the amount of such insufficiency, and the
Servicer shall promptly advance such amount to the Trustee for deposit in the
Expense Accounts, pro rata in accordance with the amounts then on deposit in
each such Expense Account. Thereafter, the Servicer shall be entitled to
reimbursement from the applicable Expense Account for the amount of any such
advance from any excess funds available pursuant to subclause (c)(ii) below.
Without limiting the obligation of the Servicer to advance such insufficiency,
in the event the Servicer does not advance the full amount of such insufficiency
by the Business Day immediately preceding the Determination Date, the amount of
such insufficiency shall be deposited into the applicable Expense Account for
payment to the Trustee or the Co-Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to
Section 6.08(d)(ii), to the extent of available funds in the applicable
Certificate Account.
(b) The Trustee may invest amounts on deposit in each Expense Account
in Permitted Instruments pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, and the Trustee shall
withdraw amounts on deposit in the applicable Expense Account to:
(i) pay the Trustee's and Co-Trustee's fees and
expenses with respect to the Trust Fund as described in
Section 2.08 hereof (amounts shall be withdrawn from each
Expense Account pro rata in accordance with the then aggregate
Principal Balances of the Pool I, Pool II, Pool III and Pool
IV Mortgage Loans);
(ii) pay on a monthly basis to the Servicer as
additional servicing compensation interest paid and
earnings realized on Permitted Instruments;
(iii) to withdraw any amounts not required to be
deposited in the applicable Expense Account or
deposited therein in error; and
(iv) to clear and terminate the applicable Expense Account
upon the termination of the Trust Fund in accordance with
Section 11.01 hereof.
(c) On the twelfth Remittance Date following the Closing Date, and on
each twelfth Remittance Date thereafter, the Trustee shall determine that all
payments required to be made during the prior twelve month period pursuant to
subclauses (b)(i), (b)(ii) and (b)(iii) above, have been made, and, if all such
payments have been made, from the amounts remaining in the applicable Expense
Account, the Trustee shall (in the following order of priority):
(i) reimburse the Servicer and/or the
Representative, for reimbursable advances made pursuant to
Section 9.01;
(ii) reimburse the Servicer for advances made by it
pursuant to the last paragraph of subclause (a) above;
and
(iii) remit to the Servicer as additional servicing
compensation any amounts remaining in either Expense Account
after payments made pursuant to subclauses (b)(i), (b)(ii),
(b)(iii), (c)(i) and (c)(ii), above.
Section 6.04 ESTABLISHMENT OF INSURANCE ACCOUNTS; DEPOSITS IN
INSURANCE ACCOUNTS; PERMITTED WITHDRAWALS FROM INSURANCE ACCOUNTS.
(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee will establish with
itself in its trust department four separate trust accounts for the benefit of
the Certificate Insurer, titled "TMS MBIA Insurance Account 1996-D-I," "TMS MBIA
Insurance Account 1996-D-II," "TMS MBIA Insurance Account 1996-D-III" and "TMS
MBIA Insurance Account 1996-D-IV" (each an "Insurance Account, and together, the
"Insurance Accounts"). The Trustee shall deposit into the applicable Insurance
Account:
(i) on each Remittance Date, prior to making the
remittances required pursuant to Section 6.08(d), from the
applicable Certificate Account an amount equal to the Premium
Deposit Amount relating to the Pool I, Pool II, Pool III or
Pool IV Certificates, as the case may be; and
(ii) upon receipt, amounts required to be paid by the
Servicer pursuant to Section 6.07(e) in connection with losses
on investments of amounts in the applicable Insurance Account.
If at any time that a Monthly Premium is due, the aggregate amount then on
deposit in the Insurance Accounts is insufficient to pay in full the Monthly
Premium then due with respect to the Pool I, Pool II, Pool III and Pool IV
Certificates pursuant to the terms of the Insurance Agreement, the Certificate
Insurer shall make demand on the Servicer to advance the amount of such
insufficiency, and the Servicer shall promptly advance such amount to the
Trustee for deposit in the Insurance Accounts, pro rata in accordance with the
amounts then on deposit in each such Insurance Account. Thereafter, the Servicer
shall be entitled to reimbursement from the applicable Insurance Account for the
amount of any such advance from moneys on deposit therein not related to the
Premium Deposit Amount necessary to make timely payment of the next Monthly
Premium.
(b) The Trustee may invest amounts on deposit in each Insurance
Account in Permitted Instruments pursuant to Section 6.07, and the Trustee shall
withdraw amounts on deposit in the applicable Insurance Account to:
(i) remit on a monthly basis sufficient funds to the
Insurance Paying Agent to pay the Certificate Insurer the
Monthly Premium with respect to the Pool I, Pool II, Pool III
or Pool IV Certificates, as the case may be, on each
Remittance Date commencing in January 1997 as required by the
Insurance Agreement;
(ii) pay on a monthly basis to the Servicer as
additional servicing compensation interest paid and
earnings realized on Permitted Instruments;
(iii) withdraw amounts not required to be deposited
in the applicable Insurance Account or deposited
therein in error; and
(iv) reimburse the Servicer for advances made by it
pursuant to the last paragraph of subclause (a) above to the
extent such funds are not needed to pay the Monthly Premium.
If sufficient funds are available in the Insurance Account to timely
pay the Monthly Premium, the Trustee has received from the Servicer any
information necessary to determine the amount of the Monthly Premium and the
Trustee and the Insurance Paying Agent (if the Insurance Paying Agent and the
Trustee are the same party) fail to timely remit the Monthly Premium to the
Certificate Insurer from funds on deposit in the Insurance Account in accordance
with subsections (a) and (b) above, the Trustee shall, contemporaneous with the
payment of the Monthly Premium, pay to the Certificate Insurer from its own
funds, for which reimbursement shall not be available, interest on the Monthly
Premium at the Prime Rate published in the most recent Wall Street Journal plus
3.0% for each day that the Monthly Premium is not paid to the Certificate
Insurer.
Section 6.05 ESTABLISHMENT OF SPREAD ACCOUNT; DEPOSITS IN SPREAD
ACCOUNT; PERMITTED WITHDRAWALS FROM SPREAD ACCOUNT.
(a) The Representative shall, no later than the Closing Date,
establish and maintain with the Trustee in its trust department a trust account,
which shall not be interest-bearing, titled "TMS Spread Account 1996-D" (the
"Spread Account"). If during or after the Funding Period the Certificate Insurer
determines to increase the Pool I, Pool II, Pool III or Pool IV Initial
Specified Subordinated Amount pursuant to the terms of the Insurance Agreement,
the Representative shall give the Trustee written notice thereof, which notice
shall include the new Pool I, Pool II, Pool III or Pool IV Initial Specified
Subordinated Amount for the related Pool. The Trustee shall, promptly upon
receipt, deposit into the Spread Account:
(i) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to
$14,600,000 ($0 of which will be allocated to Pool I,
$14,000,000 of which will be allocated to Pool III and
$600,000 of which will be allocated to Pool IV);
(ii) up to the difference, if any, between the revised
Pool I, Pool II, Pool III or Pool IV Initial Specified
Subordinated Amount and the original Pool I, Pool II, Pool III
or Pool IV Initial Specified Subordinated Amount, as the case
may be;
(iii) amounts, if any, received pursuant to the last
paragraph of Section 6.14(b) upon the occurrence of a
Pool III Delinquency Period;
(iv) amounts, if any, received pursuant to Section 6.05(d);
(v) amounts, if any, received pursuant to Section
2.09(b)(ix); and
(vi) amounts, if any, received pursuant to Section
6.14(b)(iii).
(b) The Trustee may invest amounts on deposit in the Spread Account in
Permitted Instruments pursuant to Section 6.07, and the Trustee shall withdraw
amounts on deposit in the Spread Account to:
(i) deposit in the FHA Premium Account the lesser of
(a) the amount on deposit in the Spread Account and (b) the
amount of any insufficiency in the FHA Premium Account which
the Servicer failed to advance pursuant to Section 6.06(a);
(ii) deposit in the applicable Certificate Account on any
Remittance Date an amount equal to (x) the amount of any
Insured Payment otherwise required with respect to such
Remittance Date and (y) the lesser of the Reallocated Pool III
Spread Account Portion for such Remittance Date and the
aggregate Subordinated Deficiency Amounts for Pool I, Pool II
and Pool IV for such Remittance Date (to be allocated pro rata
based upon such amounts);
(iii) on any Remittance Date for which the Pool
Subordinated Amount for each Pool exceeds its respective
Specified Subordinated Amount, including any increases thereto
during or after the Funding Period, and the amount deposited
into the Spread Account pursuant to Section 6.14(b)(iii)
equals the full amount required to be deposited pursuant
thereto, distribute the excess, if any, of the aggregate Pool
Subordinated Amounts for each Pool for such Remittance Date
over the aggregate Pool I, Pool II, Pool III and Pool IV
Specified Subordinated Amounts, including any increases
thereto after the Funding Period, for such Remittance Date, to
the Holders of the Class X Certificates, the remainder of such
excess (provided, however, that any such excess attributable
to a Pool II Mortgage Loan shall be applied first to the
payment of any Certificateholders' Interest Carryover, pro
rata based upon the amount of Certificateholders' Interest
Carryover allocable to each Class of Pool II Certificates);
(iv) distribute to the Holders of the Class X Certificates
such amounts then on deposit in the Spread Account as the
Certificate Insurer may consent to in writing;
(v) withdraw any amounts not required to be
deposited in the Spread Account or deposited therein in
error; and
(vi) subject to subsection (c) below, distribute to the
Holders of the Class X Certificates any amounts remaining in
the Spread Account upon the termination of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 11.01 hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any Pool III Delinquency Period
amounts may be released from the Spread Account pursuant to clause (iii) above
only if, after giving effect to such release, the amount on deposit in the
Spread Account (less the amount deposited therein pursuant to Section 6.05(a)(i)
and (ii)), is at least equal to the then current Pool Principal Balance for Pool
III.
(c) If Claims filed by the Claims Administrator with respect to the
FHA Loans exceed 10% of the aggregate Principal Balances of the FHA Loans
measured as of the Cut-Off Date or related Subsequent Cut-Off Date, as the case
may be, at the termination of the Trust, the Trustee shall withdraw from the
Spread Account the lesser of (x) the Excess Claim Amount and (y) the amount
remaining in the Spread Account and deposit such amount on behalf of the Class X
Certificateholders as directed by the Certificate Insurer into the spread
account(s) for the remaining outstanding TMS Title I transactions which are
insured by the Certificate Insurer. The "Excess Claim Amount" will equal 90% of
the excess of (x) the total Claims filed with respect to the FHA Loans over (y)
10% of the aggregate Principal Balances of the FHA Loans measured as of the Cut-
Off Date or related Subsequent Cut-Off Date, as the case may be.
(d) At the direction of the Class X Certificateholders, the Trustee
shall immediately deposit into the Spread Account any Excess Claim Amounts
received from any other TMS Title I transaction which is insured by the
Certificate Insurer, provided that the Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel at
the expense of the Class X Certificateholders that such deposit will not
adversely affect the REMIC status of REMIC I or REMIC II.
(e) The Class X Certificateholders hereby consent to funds being
withdrawn from or deposited in the Spread Account at the direction of the
Certificate Insurer pursuant to subsections (c) and (d) above.
(f) The Class X Certificateholders are deemed to have directed the
Trustee to withdraw funds from the Spread Account pursuant to subsection (c)
above and to deposit such funds into the Spread Account pursuant to subsection
(d) above.
Section 6.06 ESTABLISHMENT OF FHA PREMIUM ACCOUNT; DEPOSITS IN FHA
PREMIUM ACCOUNT; PERMITTED WITHDRAWALS FROM FHA PREMIUM ACCOUNT.
(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee will establish with
itself in its trust department a trust account, which shall not be interest

If the Servicer fails to pay the FHA Insurance Premium with respect to an FHA
Loan in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, the Trustee shall, upon written
instructions from the Servicer or the Certificate Insurer, withdraw an amount
from the FHA Premium Account sufficient to pay in full the FHA Insurance Premium
then due. If the amount on deposit in the FHA Premium Account is insufficient to
pay the FHA Insurance Premium then due, the Trustee shall transfer an amount
from the Spread Account to the FHA Premium Account sufficient to pay in full the
FHA Insurance Premium then due. In the event that there are insufficient funds
in the Spread Account, the Trustee shall immediately notify the Certificate
Insurer of the amount of the remaining insufficiency. The Certificate Insurer
shall have the option to advance such insufficiency to the Trustee for payment
of the FHA Insurance Premium then due.
(b) The Trustee may invest amounts on deposit in the FHA Premium
Account in Permitted Instruments pursuant to Section 6.07, and the Trustee shall
withdraw amounts on deposit in the FHA Premium Account to:
(i) remit, upon certification of payment made to the
FHA, funds requested by the Servicer (including any successor
to the Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 10.02) or the

the case may be, or remit to the
FHA amounts payable in respect of FHA Insurance Premiums
pursuant to the last paragraph of subclause (a) above;
(ii) pay on a monthly basis to the Servicer as
additional servicing compensation interest paid and
earnings realized on Permitted Instruments;

of Section 11.01 hereof.
Section 6.07 INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNTS.
(a) So long as no default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, and consistent with any requirements of the Code, all or a
portion of any Account held by the Trustee shall be invested and reinvested by
the Trustee as directed in writing by the Servicer, in one or more Permitted
Instruments bearing interest or sold at a discount. No such investment in the
Certificate Accounts shall mature later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the next Remittance Date and no such investment in the Insurance
Accounts, Expense Accounts, Pre- Funding Account, Capitalized Interest Account,
FHA Premium Account or Spread Account shall mature later than the Business Day

or be transferred to the applicable Certificate Account, as the case may be;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Trustee or any affiliate thereof may be the obligor on
any investment which otherwise qualifies as a Permitted Instrument and any
investment on which the Trustee is the obligor may mature on such Remittance
Date or date when needed, as the case may be.
(b) If any amounts are needed for disbursement from any Account held
by the Trustee and sufficient uninvested funds are not available to make such
disbursement, the Trustee shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash
a sufficient amount of the investments in such Account. The Trustee shall not be
liable for any investment loss or other charge resulting there from.
(c) Subject to Section 12.01 hereof, the Trustee shall not in any way
be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Account held by the Trustee
resulting from any investment loss on any Permitted Instrument included therein
(except to the extent that the Trustee is the obligor thereon).
(d) The Trustee shall invest and reinvest funds in the Accounts held
by the Trustee to the fullest extent practicable, in such manner as the Servicer
shall from time to time direct in writing, but only in one or more Permitted
Instruments.
(e) All income or other gain from investments in any Account held by
the Trustee shall be deposited in such Account, immediately on receipt, and the
Trustee shall notify the Servicer of any loss resulting from such investments.
The Servicer shall remit the amount of any such loss from its own funds, without
reimbursement therefor, to the Trustee for deposit in the Account from which the
related funds were withdrawn for investment by the next Determination Date
following receipt by the Servicer of such notice.
Section 6.08 PRIORITY AND SUBORDINATION OF DISTRIBUTIONS.
(a) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions from
the proceeds of the Trust Fund, and all ownership interests of the

Class R Certificateholders in and to such distributions, shall be subject and
subordinate to the preferential rights of the Class A Certificateholders, to
receive dis tributions in respect of the Class A Certificates, and the ownership
interests of the Class A Certificateholders in such distributions, as described
herein. In accordance with the foregoing, the ownership interests of the Class X
and Class R Certificateholders in amounts deposited in the applicable Principal
and Interest Account or in any Accounts from time to time shall not vest unless
and until such amounts are distributed in respect of the Class X and Class R
Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Class X and Class R
Certificateholders shall not be required to refund any amount properly

notice in the form set forth as Exhibit L (the "Notice") hereto, which will be
based upon the information set forth in the Servicer's Certificate, in the event
that an Event of Nonpayment will occur with respect to such Remittance Date. The
Notice shall specify the total amount of the Insured Payment to be paid on the
applicable Remittance Date, stated separately for each Class of Class A
Certificates, and shall constitute a claim for an Insured Payment pursuant to
the applicable Certificate Insurance Policy. The Certificate Insurer shall remit
or cause to be remitted to the Insurance Paying Agent the amount of the Insured
Payment. Upon receipt of such Insured Payment by the Insurance Paying Agent on
behalf of the Holders of the respective Class of Class A Certificates under the
applicable Certificate Insurance Policy, it shall remit such amounts to the
Trustee who shall deposit such Insured Payment in the applicable Certificate
Account and shall distribute such Insured Payment in accordance with Sections
6.08(d) and (e) hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Nonpayment will occur
with respect to a Remittance Date and funds are on deposit in the Spread
Account, the amount of the Insured Payment shall be reduced up to the amount
then on deposit in the Spread Account. Pursuant to Section 6.05(b)(ii), the
Trustee shall, on such Remittance Date, transfer such amount to the applicable
Certificate Account from the Spread Account.
The Trustee shall serve as Insurance Paying Agent hereunder for so
long as a Certificate Insurance Policy shall remain in effect; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Insurance Paying Agent may be located in another jurisdiction
with the written consent of the Certificate Insurer. The Insurance Paying Agent
shall act as the agent of the Trustee and shall (i) pay amounts required by
Section 6.04(b)(i) hereof to the Certificate Insurer, (ii) pay Insured Payments
received from the Certificate Insurer as the Trustee shall direct and (iii) take
such other actions with respect to the Certificate Insurer and the Certificate
Insurance Policies as the Trustee shall direct. The Trustee shall act initially
as the Insurance Paying Agent.
The Trustee shall receive through the Insurance Paying Agent, as
attorney-in-fact of each Holder of Class A Certificates, any Insured Payment
from the Certificate Insurer and disburse the same to each Holder of Class A
Certificates in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.08. Insured
Payments disbursed by the Trustee from proceeds of the Certificate Insurance
Policies shall not be considered payment by the Trust Fund nor shall such
payments discharge the obligation of the Trust Fund with respect to such Class A
Certificates, and the Certificate Insurer shall become the owner of such unpaid
amounts due from the Trust Fund in respect of Class A Certificates. The Trustee
hereby agrees on behalf of each Holder of Class A Certificates for the benefit
of the Certificate Insurer that it recognizes that to the extent the Certificate
Insurer makes Insured Payments, either directly or indirectly (as by paying
through the Insurance Paying Agent), to the Class A Certificateholders, the
Certificate Insurer will be subrogated to the rights of the Class A
Certificateholders with respect to such Insured Payment, shall be deemed to the
extent of the payments so made to be a registered Certificateholder of the
related Class, and shall receive the Pool Carry-Forward Amounts of the related
Pools in accordance with Sections 6.08(d) below until all such Insured Payments
by the Certificate Insurer have been fully reimbursed. To evidence such
subrogation, the Trustee shall, or shall cause the Certificate Registrar to,
note the Certificate Insurer's rights as subrogee on the registration books
maintained by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar upon receipt from the
Certificate Insurer of proof of payment of any Insured Payment.
Each Class A Certificateholder shall promptly (i) notify the Trustee
in writing upon the receipt of a court order to the effect that any amounts
described in Clause (iv) of the definition of Pool Remittance Amount constitute
a voidable preference pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code and (ii)
shall enclose a certified copy of such order with such notice to the Trustee.
(d) On each Remittance Date, and after making the allocations set
forth in Section 6.14, the Trustee shall withdraw from the applicable
Certificate Account the sum of (i) the Pool Available Amount for each Pool and
(ii) the Remainder Excess Spread Amount for each Pool, net of reimbursements to
the Servicer or the Representative for Reimbursable Advances pursuant to Section
5.04(f), and make distributions thereof in the following order of priority:
(i) to the Certificateholders of each Pool, the
lesser of the Pool Available Amount for the related Pool and
the Pool Remittance Amount for the related Pool;
(ii) then to each Expense Account, an amount equal to
one-twelfth of the Annual Expense Escrow Amount with respect
to the Mortgage Loans of the related Pool, plus any amount
required to be paid to the Trustee or the Co-Trustee pursuant
to Section 6.03(a) resulting from insufficiencies in the
applicable Expense Account;
(iii) then to the Servicer and/or the Representative, an
amount, if any, equal to the Reimbursable Amounts with respect
to the applicable Pool to the extent the Servicer has not
previously netted such amounts from Monthly Payments;
(iv) then to the Pool II Certificateholders, any
Certificateholders' Interest Carryover (but only with respect
to distributions relating to Pool II Mortgage Loans),
allocated pro rata among each Class of Pool II Certificates
based upon the amount of Certificateholders' Interest
Carryover allocated to each such Class;
(v) then to the Class X Certificateholders, an
amount equal to the Class X Remittance Amount; and
(vi) then to the Class R Certificateholders, any
remainder.
On each Remittance Date, the amount to be distributed to the Pool I
Certificates pursuant to clause (i) above will be allocated in the following
order of priority:
(A) first, concurrently to the Certificateholders of each Class of
Pool I Certificates, the applicable Class Current Interest Requirements for such
Remittance Date, pro rata in accordance with such amounts;
(B) second, to the Class A-9 Certificateholders, an amount equal to
the Class A-9 Principal Distribution Amount for such Remittance Date; and
(C) third, to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class
A-5, Class X- 0, Class A-7, Class A-8 and Class A-9 Certificateholders,
sequentially in that order, the excess, if any, of the amount to be distributed
to the Pool I Certificates on such Remittance Date over the amount distributed
pursuant to (A) and (B) above, until the Class Principal Balance of each such
Class (in ascending order of numerical designation) is reduced to zero and such
Certificateholders have received an amount equal to the amount described in
clause (iv) of the definition of Pool Remittance Amount that is recovered from
such Certificateholders.
On each Remittance Date, the amount to be distributed to the Pool II
Certificates pursuant to clause (i) above will be allocated in the following
order of priority:
(A) first, to the Class A-10 Certificateholders, the applicable Class
Current Interest Requirement for such Remittance Date; and
(B) second, to the Class A-10 Certificateholders, the excess, if any,
of the amount to be distributed to the Pool II Certificates on such Remittance
Date over the amount distributed pursuant to (A) above, until the Class
Principal Balance of such Class is reduced to zero and such Certificateholders
have recovered an amount equal to the amount described in clause (iv) of the
definition of Pool Remittance Amount that is recovered from such
Certificateholders.
On each Remittance Date, the amount to be distributed to the Pool III
Certificates pursuant to clause (i) above will be allocated in the following
order of priority:
(A) first, concurrently to the Certificateholders of each Class of
Pool III Certificates, the applicable Class Current Interest Requirement for
such Remittance Date; and
(B) second, to the Class A-11 through Class A-15 Certificateholders,
sequentially in that order, the excess, if any, of the amount to be distributed
to the Pool III Certificates on such Remittance Date over the amount distributed
pursuant to (A) above, until the Class Principal Balance of each such Class (in
ascending order of numerical designation) is reduced to zero and such
Certificateholders have received an amount equal to the amount described in
clause (iv) of the definition of Pool Remittance Amount that is recovered from
such Certificateholders.
On each Remittance Date, the amount to be distributed to the Pool IV
Certificates pursuant to clause (i) above will be allocated in the following
order of priority:
(A) first, to the Class A-16 Certificateholders, the applicable Class
Current Interest Requirement for such Remittance Date; and
(B) second, to the Class A-16 Certificateholders, the excess, if any,
of the amount to be distributed to the Pool IV Certificates on such Remittance
Date over the amount distributed pursuant to (A) above, until the Class
Principal Balance of such Class is reduced to zero and such Certificateholders
have received an amount equal to the amount described in clause (iv) of the
definition of Pool Remittance Amount that is recovered from such
Certificateholders.
Additionally, on the Special Remittance Date, the Trustee shall
withdraw from the Certificate Account the amount, if any, deposited therein
pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(v) and make distributions thereof as follows: (i)
from amounts transferred from the Pre-Funding Account, distributions of
principal to the Classes of Class A Certificates then entitled to receive
distributions of principal in the priority and proportions set forth in this
Section 6.08(d) and (ii) from amounts transferred from the Capitalized Interest
Account, distributions of interest to such Classes of Class A Certificates equal
to the applicable Capitalized Interest Requirement.
(e) All distributions made to the Certificateholders on each
Remittance Date and the Special Remittance Date will be made on a pro rata basis
among the Certificateholders of the respective Class of record on the next
preceding Record Date based on the Percentage Interest repre sented by their
respective Certificates, and shall, except for the final payment on such
Certificates, be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of such Certificateholder as shall appear on the Certificate Register
without the presentation or surrender of the Certificate or the making of any
notation thereon, at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, at the expense of each such Certificateholder unless such
Certificateholder shall own of record Certificates which have original principal
amounts aggregating (i) at least $5,000,000 or (ii) one of the two highest
outstanding amounts less than $5,000,000.
Section 6.09 ALLOCATION OF REALIZED LOSSES.
Prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the
total amount of Realized Losses, if any, that occurred in the related Due
Period. The amount of each Realized Loss shall be evidenced by an Officers'
Certificate, stated separately for each Pool of Mortgage Loans, and, to the
extent paid by the Certificate Insurer as an Insured Payment, shall constitute a
Pool Carry-Forward Amount for the related Pool. Any Realized Losses relating to
the Mortgage Loans of a Pool shall be allocated to each outstanding Class of
Certificates of such Pool pro rata in accordance with the respective Class
Principal Balances of each such Class, but only if and to the extent that the
Certificateholders of such Pool did not receive Insured Payments in connection
with the related Unrecovered Pool Portions on the Remittance Date on which a
Subordination Deficit occurs. Further, any allocation of Realized Losses among a
Class of Certificates shall be made on a pro rata basis among the
Certificateholders of record of such Class on the next preceding Record Date
based on the Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates by
reducing their respective Principal Balances by the amount so allocated, which
allocation shall be deemed to have occurred on the related Remittance Date.

sum of (x) the Monthly Excess Spread with respect to each such Pool and
Remittance Date plus (y) any Subordination Reduction Amount with respect to each
such Pool and Remittance Date plus (z) any Pool Available Remittance Amount
Surplus with respect to each such Pool (such sum being the "Total Monthly Excess
Cashflow" with respect to such Pool and Remittance Date), in the following order
of priority:
(i) FIRST, to the related Pool in an amount up to
the Pool Available Remittance Amount Shortfall for such
Pool;
(ii) SECOND, to the other Pools, any Pool Available
Remittance Amount Shortfall remaining after the application
described in clause (i), allocated among Pools pro rata, based
upon the applicable Pool Available Remittance Amount Shortfall
remaining after the application described in clause (i) above;
(iii) THIRD, to the Certificate Insurer in respect of
amounts owed on account of any Insured Payments theretofore
made with respect to the related Pool of Mortgage Loans (any

"Insurer Reimbursable Amount" with respect to the related Pool
of Mortgage Loans); and
(iv) FOURTH, to the Certificate Insurer in respect of any
Insurer Reimbursable Amount with respect to any other Pool,
allocated among Pools, pro rata, based upon the applicable
Insurer Reimbursable Amount remaining after the applications
described in clauses (i), (ii)
and (iii) above.
Total Monthly Excess Cashflow allocable pursuant to clauses (ii) and
(iv) above shall be allocated first from Pool I, Pool III and Pool IV, pro rata
based upon the Total Monthly Excess Cashflow available from each such Pool, and
second from Pool II.
(b) The amount, if any, of the Total Monthly Excess Cashflow with
respect to a Pool of Mortgage Loans on a Remittance Date remaining after the
allocations described in (a) above is the "Net Monthly Excess Cashflow" with
respect to such Pool for such Remittance Date; such amount is required to be
applied in the following order of priority:
(i) FIRST, to the related Pool, in an amount up to
the Subordinated Deficiency Amount for such Pool as of
such Remittance Date;
(ii) SECOND, to the other Pools, in an amount up to any
Subordinated Deficiency Amounts with respect to such other
Pool remaining after the allocation described in (i) above,
allocated among Pools, pro rata, based upon the applicable
Subordinated Deficiency Amount after giving effect to all
other distributions to be made on such Remittance Date;
(iii) THIRD, to the Spread Account until the sum of the
amount deposited therein pursuant to this Section 6.14(b)(iii)
equals $1,500,000, or such lesser amount as may be consented

such Net Monthly Excess Cashflow is attributable to Pool II
Mortgage Loans); and
(vi) SIXTH, any excess to the Holders of the
Class X Certificates.
Net Monthly Excess Cashflow allocable pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii)
and (iv) above shall be allocated first from Pool I, Pool III and Pool IV, pro
rata based upon the Net Monthly Excess Cashflow available from each such Pool,
and second from Pool II.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any period commencing on a
Remittance Date for which the sum of (i) the three-month moving average of 75%
of the Principal Balance of all 90 Day Delinquent Pool III Loans and (ii) the
amount of all Claims filed in the Due Period immediately preceding the then
current Remittance Date is greater than the current Excess Spread for the Pool
III Loans for such Remittance Date, and ending on the first Remittance Date
thereafter for which the six-month moving average of the sum of (a) 75% of the
Principal Balance of all 90 Day Delinquent Pool III Loans and (b) the amount of
all Claims filed in the Due Period immediately preceding the then current
Remittance Date is less than the Excess Spread for the Pool III Mortgage Loans
for three consecutive Remittance Dates (such period, the "Pool III Delinquency
Period"), all Total Monthly Excess Cashflow with respect to the Pool III
Mortgage Loans for each Remittance Date remaining after the application
described in clause (i) above shall be deposited into the Spread Account
pursuant to Section 6.05(a)(iii) until the amount on deposit in the Spread
Account (less the amounts deposited therein with respect to Pools I, II and IV
and Section 6.05(a)(vi)) equals the then current Pool Principal Balance for Pool
III.

(b) The deposits in the Servicing Accounts shall be held in a
Designated Depository Institution in an account designated as a "Mortgage Loan
Servicing Account," held in trust by the Servicer or a Subservicer acting on its
own behalf and as agent for holders of various pass-through securities and other
interests in mortgage loans sold by it. The amount at any time credited to a
Servicing Account must be fully insured by FDIC, or, to the extent that such
deposits exceed the limits of such insurance, such excess must be (i)
transferred to another fully insured account in another Designated Depository
Institution or (ii) if permitted by applicable law, invested in Permitted
Investments held in trust by the Servicer or a Subservicer. Withdrawals of
amounts from the Servicing Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of
taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or comparable items, to reimburse the

ARTICLE VII
GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURE
Section 7.01 ASSUMPTION AGREEMENTS.
When a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the
Mortgagor, the Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance
or prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the
related Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause contained in the related
Mortgage or Mortgage Note; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not
exercise any such right if the "due-on-sale" clause, in the reasonable belief of
the Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law or if such enforcement
would materially increase the risk of default or delinquency on, or materially
decrease the security for, such Mortgage Loan. 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 Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law
or the Mortgage, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is also
authorized with the prior approval of the Certificate Insurer to enter into a
substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the
original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is substituted as
Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. The Servicer shall notify
the Trustee (and, with respect to Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Co-Trustee and
the Custodian) and the Certificate Insurer that any such substitution or
assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee (and, with
respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Custodian) the original of such
substitution or assumption agreement and a duplicate thereof to the Certificate
Insurer, which original shall be added by the Trustee (and, with respect to the
Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Custodian) to the related Trustee's Mortgage File
and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Trustee's Mortgage
File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a
part thereof. In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement
entered into pursuant to this Section 7.01, the Servicer shall not change the
Mortgage Interest Rate or the Monthly Payment, defer or forgive the payment of
principal or interest, reduce the outstanding principal amount or extend the
final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. Any fee collected by the Servicer for
consenting to any such conveyance or entering into an assumption or substitution
agreement shall be retained by or paid to the Servicer as additional servicing
compensation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this
Agreement, (i) the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a
Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Servicer may be
restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever; and (ii) the
Servicer shall not take any action which would adversely affect the coverage of
an FHA Loan for insurance by the FHA under Title I.
Section 7.02 SATISFACTION OF MORTGAGES AND RELEASE OF MORTGAGE FILES.
The Servicer shall not grant a satisfaction or release of a Mortgage
without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the
Mortgage or otherwise prejudice any right the Certificateholders may have under
the mortgage instruments, subject to Section 5.01 hereof. The Servicer shall
maintain the Fidelity Bond as provided for in Section 5.09 insuring the Servicer
against any loss it may sustain with respect to any Mortgage Loan not satisfied
in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, 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 will immediately notify the Trustee
(and, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Custodian), by an
Officers' Certificate in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received
or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be
deposited in the applicable Principal and Interest Account pursuant to Section
5.03 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request
delivery to it of the Trustee's Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, the Trustee (and, with respect to the Pool III
Mortgage Loans, the Custodian) shall promptly release the related Trustee's
Mortgage File to the Servicer. Expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be payable only from
and to the extent of servicing compensation and shall not be chargeable to the
Principal and Interest Account or the Certificate Accounts.
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure
of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any primary
mortgage guaranty insurance policy, the Trustee (and, with respect to the Pool
III Mortgage Loans, the Custodian) shall, upon request of the Servicer and
delivery to the Trustee (and, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the
Custodian) of a certification in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto signed by
a Servicing Officer, release the related Trustee's Mortgage File to the
Servicer, and the Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the
Custodian and the Co-Trustee) shall execute such documents as shall be necessary
to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such servicing receipt shall
obligate the Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee (or, with
respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Custodian) when the need therefor by
the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and
the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in
the applicable Principal and Interest Account and remitted to the Trustee for
deposit in the applicable Certificate Account or the Mortgage File or such
document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other
public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal
action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either
judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered to the Trustee
(and, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Custodian) a certificate
of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to
which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or
purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer
stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated, the servicing receipt shall be
released by the Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the
Custodian) to the Servicer.
The Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the
Co-Trustee) shall execute and deliver to the Servicer any court pleadings,
requests for trustee's sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or
trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought
to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to
obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights
provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in
equity. Together with such documents or pleadings, the Servicer shall deliver to
the Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Co-Trustee) a
certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents
be executed by the Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the
Co- Trustee) and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are
required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee (or, with
respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Co-Trustee) will not invalidate or
otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a
lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale. The Trustee (or, with
respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Co-Trustee) shall, upon receipt of a
written request from a Servicing Officer, execute any document provided to the
Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Co-Trustee) by the
Servicer or take any other action requested in such request, that is, in the
opinion of the Servicer as evidenced by such request, required by any state or
other jurisdiction to discharge the lien of a Mortgage upon the satisfaction
thereof and the Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the
Co-Trustee) will sign and post, but will not guarantee receipt of, any such
documents to the Servicer, or such other party as the Servicer may direct,
within five Business Days of the Trustee's (or, with respect to the Pool III
Mortgage Loans, the Co-Trustee's) receipt of such certificate or documents. Such
certificate or documents shall establish to the Trustee's (or, with respect to
the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Co-Trustee's) satisfaction that the related
Mortgage Loan has been paid in full by or on behalf of the Mortgagor and that
such payment has been deposited in the applicable Principal and Interest
Account.
Section 7.03 SERVICING COMPENSATION AND CONTINGENCY FEE.
(a) As compensation for its services hereunder, the Servicer shall be
entitled to withdraw from the applicable Principal and Interest Account or to
retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans the Servicer's Servicing
Fee. Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption and other
administrative fees, prepayment penalties and premiums, interest paid on funds
on deposit in the Principal and Interest Account, interest paid and earnings
realized on Permitted Instruments, amounts remitted pursuant to Sections
6.03(c)(iii) and 6.04(b)(ii) and late payment charges shall be retained by or
remitted to the Servicer to the extent not required to be remitted to the
Trustee for deposit in the applicable Certificate Account. The Servicer shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except
as specifically provided for herein.
(b) The Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the applicable
Principal and Interest Account or to retain from interest payments on the
Mortgage Loans the Contingency Fee. In the event that The Money Store Inc. is
terminated as Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, any duly appointed successor
to the Servicer shall also be entitled to withdraw from the applicable Principal
and Interest Account or to retain from interest payments on the Mortgage Loans
the successor Servicer's Contingency Fee.

Servicer and the Claims Administrator, as applicable, to cure such default.
Section 7.05 ANNUAL INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS' SERVICING REPORT.
On or before March 31 of each year beginning March 31, 1997, the

reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer to furnish a
letter or letters to the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee, the Co- Trustee and
the Rating Agencies to the effect that such firm has with respect to the
Servicer's overall servicing operations examined such operations in accordance
with the requirements of the Uniform Single Audit Program for Mortgage Bankers,
and stating such firm's conclusions relating thereto.
Section 7.06 TRUSTEE'S, CO-TRUSTEE'S AND CERTIFICATE INSURER'S RIGHT
TO EXAMINE SERVICER RECORDS AND AUDIT OPERATIONS.
The Trustee, the Co-Trustee and the Certificate Insurer shall have the
right upon reasonable prior notice, during normal business hours and as often as
reasonably required, to examine and audit any and all of the books, records or
other information of the Servicer and the Claims Administrator, whether held by

this Agreement. The Certificate Insurer shall have the right upon reasonable
prior notice, during normal business hours and as often as reasonably required
to perform ongoing diligence of the Servicer's operations through loans reviews,
re-appraisals or other reasonable review of Servicer operations. No amounts
payable in respect of the foregoing shall be paid from the Trust Fund.

for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect

Co-Trustee or its designee) and the Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III
Mortgage Loans, the Co-Trustee) is hereby authorized and empowered to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer and the Claims Administrator, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and
do or cause to be done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to
effect the purposes of such notice of termination, including, but not limited

without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee or its designee for

Section 10.02 TRUSTEE AND CO-TRUSTEE TO ACT; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.
On and after the time the Servicer or the Claims Administrator
receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 10.01 or the Trustee
receives the resignation of the Servicer and the Claims Administrator evidenced
by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 9.04 or the Servicer and the Claims
Administrator are removed as servicer and claims administrator pursuant to this
Article X, the Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the
Co-Trustee) shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its
capacity as servicer and the Claims Administrator in its capacity as claims
administrator under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided
for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer and the Claims Administrator
by the terms and provisions hereof, provided, however, that the Trustee and the
Co-Trustee shall not be liable for any actions of any servicer or claims
administrator prior to it, and that the Trustee and the Co-Trustee shall not be
obligated to make advances or payments pursuant to Sections 6.03, 6.04, 6.11,
6.12, 5.05, 5.10 or 5.14 but only to the extent the Trustee or the Co-Trustee,
as the case may be, determines reasonably and in good faith that such advances
would not be recoverable, such determination to be evidenced with respect to
each such advance by a certification of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or
the Co-Trustee, as the case may be. As compensation therefor, the Trustee (or,
with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Co-Trustee) shall be entitled
to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which the Servicer and Claims
Administrator would have been entitled to receive from the Principal and
Interest Account pursuant to Section 5.04 if the Servicer had continued to act
as servicer and claims administrator hereunder, together with other servicing
compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges, the
Contingency Fee or otherwise as provided in Sections 7.01 and 7.03.
Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee or the Co-Trustee may, if it
shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if the
Majority Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer so request in writing to
the Trustee or the Co-Trustee, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution
acceptable to the Certificate Insurer, which acceptance shall not be
unreasonably withheld, that has a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and
which is approved as a servicer by FNMA and FHLMC (and, in the case of FHA
Loans, is a Title I approved lender pursuant to FHA Regulations) as the
successor to the Servicer and the Claims Administrator hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Servicer and the Claims Administrator hereunder. Any collections received by
the Servicer and the Claims Administrator after removal or resignation shall be
endorsed by it to the Trustee and remitted directly to the Trustee or, at the
direction of the Trustee, to the successor servicer. The compensation of any
successor servicer and claims administrator (including, without limitation, the
Trustee and Co-Trustee) so appointed shall be the aggregate Servicing Fees,
together with the Contingency Fee and other servicing compensation in the form
of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise. In the event the Trustee
or Co- Trustee is required to solicit bids as provided herein, the Trustee or
Co-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 and claims administrator shall be entitled to, with respect
to the Mortgage Loans each would be servicing, the full amount of the aggregate
Servicing Fees and Contingency Fee relating to such Mortgage Loans as servicing
compensation, together with the other servicing compensation in the form of
assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise. Within thirty days after any
such public announcement, the Trustee or Co-Trustee shall negotiate and effect
the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities
hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest qualifying bid. The
Trustee or Co-Trustee shall deduct from any sum received by the Trustee or
Co-Trustee from the successor to the Servicer and Claims Administrator in
respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any
public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing
rights and responsibilities hereunder and the amount of any unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances. After such deductions, the remainder of
such sum shall be paid by the Trustee or Co-Trustee to the Servicer and Claims
Administrator at the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to the
Servicer's and Claims Administrator's successor. The Trustee or Co-Trustee and
such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall
be necessary to effectuate any such succession. The Servicer and Claims
Administrator agree to cooperate with the Trustee or Co-Trustee and any
successor servicer and claims administrator in effecting the termination of the
Servicer's and Claims Administrator's servicing responsibilities and rights
hereunder and shall promptly provide the Trustee or Co-Trustee or such successor
servicer, as applicable, all documents and records reasonably requested by it to
enable it to assume the Servicer's and Claims Administrator's functions
hereunder and shall promptly also transfer to the Trustee or Co-Trustee or such
successor servicer and claims administrator, as applicable, all amounts which
then have been or should have been deposited in the Principal and Interest
Account or Spread Account by the Servicer and Claims Administrator or which are
thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee, the
Co-Trustee nor any other successor servicer or claims administrator 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 and Claims Administrator to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash,
documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory
authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer and Claims Administrator
hereunder. No appointment of a successor to the Servicer and Claims
Administrator hereunder shall be effective until written notice of such proposed
appointment shall have been provided by the Trustee to each Certificateholder
and the Certificate Insurer, and the Trustee shall have consented thereto.
Neither the Trustee nor the Co- Trustee shall resign as servicer until a
successor servicer reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Insurer has been
appointed.
Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer and the Claims
Administrator hereunder, the Trustee and the Co-Trustee shall act in such
capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the Trustee and the Co-Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such
successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in
excess of that permitted the Servicer and Claims Administrator pursuant to
Section 7.03 or otherwise as provided in this Agreement. The Servicer, the
Claims Administrator, the Trustee, the Co-Trustee, any Custodian and such
successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be
necessary to effectuate any such succession.
Section 10.03 WAIVER OF DEFAULTS.
The Certificate Insurer or the Majority Certificateholders may, on
behalf of all Certificateholders, and subject to the consent of the Certificate
Insurer, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, waive any events
permitting removal of the Servicer and the Claims Administrator as servicer
pursuant to this Article X, provided, however, that the Majority
Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer may not waive a default in making
a required distribution on a Certificate without the consent of the holder of
such Certificate. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the
extent expressly so waived.
Section 10.04 TRANSFER OF TAX MATTERS PERSON RESIDUAL INTEREST.
Upon any termination of, or appointment of any successor to, the
Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall promptly upon the request of the Trustee
transfer all of the Tax Matters Person Residual Interest to the Representative,
for such time as the Trustee shall serve as successor Servicer and thereafter
the Representative shall transfer such Tax Matters Person Residual Interest to
the entity that is appointed to succeed the Trustee as Servicer.
Section 10.05. CONTROL BY MAJORITY CERTIFICATEHOLDERS.
The Certificate Insurer or the Majority Certificateholders with the
consent of the Certificate Insurer, which consent may not be unreasonably
withheld, may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
relating to the Trust Fund or the Certificates or for any remedy available to
the Trustee or the Co-Trustee with respect to the Certificates or exercising any
trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Co-Trustee with respect to the
Certificates or the Trust Fund PROVIDED THAT:
(i) such direction shall not be in conflict with
any rule of law or with this Agreement;
(ii) the Trustee or the Co-Trustee, as the case may
be, shall have been provided with indemnity
satisfactory to it; and
(iii) the Trustee and the Co-Trustee may take any other
action deemed proper by the Trustee and the Co-Trustee which
is not inconsistent with such direction; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the Trustee and the Co-Trustee need not take any action
which it determines might involve it in liability or may be
unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not so directing.
ARTICLE XI
TERMINATION
Section 11.01 TERMINATION.
Subject to Section 11.03, this Agreement shall terminate upon notice
to the Trustee of either: (a) the latter of the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of all property
acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan
and the remittance of all funds due thereunder, or (b) mutual consent of the
Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and all Certificateholders in writing;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust established by this
Agreement terminate later than twenty-one years after the death of the last
surviving lineal descendant of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, late Ambassador of the United
States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, alive as of the date hereof.
Subject to Section 11.03, the Servicer may, at its option, and in the
absence of the exercise thereof by the Servicer, the Certificate Insurer may, at
its option, on any date on which the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans is less than ten percent of the sum of (i) the aggregate Principal Balance
of the Initial Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date and (ii) the Original
Pre-Funded Amount (such date, the "Optional Servicer Termination Date"),
purchase on the next succeeding Remittance Date, all of the Mortgage Loans and
any related REO Properties at a price equal to the sum of (x) 100% of the
Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans before the occurrence of Realized
Losses, and any related REO Property, and including the portion of the principal
balance of each 90 Day Delinquent FHA Loan for which the Certificateholders have
not received payment and for which a Claim was submitted to the FHA (y) 30 days'
interest thereon (or, with respect to the Pool II Mortgage Loans, interest for
the actual number of days since the last Remittance Date to but not including
the upcoming Remittance Date) at the weighted average Class A-1, Class A-2,
Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-6, Class A-7, Class A-8 and Class A-9
Remittance Rates in the case of the Pool I Mortgage Loans, the Class A-10
Remittance Rate in the case of the Pool II Mortgage Loans, the weighted average
Class A-11, Class A-11, Class A-12, Class A-13, Class A-14 and Class A-15
Remittance Rates in the case of the Pool III Mortgage Loans and the Class A-16
Remittance Rate in the case of the Pool IV Mortgage Loans, and (z) the interest
portion of any unreimbursed Insured Payments made by the Certificate Insurer
(the "Termination Price").
On any Remittance Date on or after the Cross-Over Date when Mortgage
Loans with aggregate original Principal Balances that equal or exceed 25% of the
sum of (i) the aggregate Principal Balance of the Initial Mortgage Loans as of
the Cut-Off Date and (ii) the Original Pre- Funded Amount have become Liquidated
Mortgage Loans, the Certificate Insurer may determine to purchase and may cause
the purchase from the Trust Fund of all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a
price equal to the sum of the Termination Price with respect to the Trust Fund
and the outstanding and unpaid fees and expenses of the Trustee and the
Servicer. In connection with such purchase, the Servicer shall remit to the
Trustee all amounts then on deposit in the applicable Principal and Interest
Account for deposit to the applicable Certificate Account, which deposit shall
be deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such purchase.
In connection with any purchase pursuant to this Section 11.01, the
Certificate Insurer shall provide to the Trustee and the Co-Trustee an opinion
of counsel experienced in federal income tax matters in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Co-Trustee to the effect that such purchase
constitutes a "Qualified Liquidation," as such term is defined in the REMIC
Provisions.
Notice of any termination, specifying the Remittance Date upon which
the Trust Fund will terminate and the Certificateholders shall surrender their
Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final distribution and
cancellation shall be given promptly by the Servicer or the Certificate Insurer
by letter to the Certificateholders mailed during the month of such final
distribution before the Determination Date in such month, specifying (i) the
Remittance Date upon which final payment of the Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Trustee
therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii) that the
Record Date otherwise applicable to such Remittance Date is not applicable,
payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at
the office of the Trustee therein specified. The Servicer shall give such notice
to the Trustee therein specified. The Servicer shall give such notice to the
Trustee at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. The obligations
of the Certificate Insurer hereunder with respect to the Trust Fund shall
terminate upon the deposit by the Servicer or the Certificate Insurer with the
Trustee of the Termination Price with respect to the Trust Fund. Any obligation
of the Servicer to pay amounts due to the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee
shall survive the termination of the Trust Fund.
In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the time specified
in the above-mentioned written notice, the Servicer shall give a second written
notice to such remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto and shall
at the expense of the Trust Fund cause to be published once, in the eastern
edition of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL notice that such money remains unclaimed. If
within six months after the second notice all of such Certificates shall not
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps,
or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain subject
hereto. If within the period then specified in the escheat laws of the State of
New York after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholders shall be entitled
to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto and the
Trustee upon transfer of such funds subject hereto and the Trustee upon transfer
of such funds shall be discharged of any responsibility for such funds and the
Certificateholders shall look to the Class R Certificateholders for payment.
Section 11.02. TERMINATION UPON LOSS OF REMIC STATUS.
(a) Following a final determination by the Internal Revenue 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 either of REMIC I or REMIC II 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 Majority Certificateholders may
direct the Trustee and the Co-Trustee on behalf of REMIC I and REMIC II to adopt
a "plan of complete liquidation" (within the meaning of 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 REMIC II all Mortgage Loans
and all property theretofore acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of
foreclosure, or otherwise in respect of any Mortgage Loan then remaining in
REMIC II at a price equal to the Termination Price for the REMIC II. Upon
receipt of such direction by the Majority Certificateholders or of such notice
from the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee shall notify the Class R
Certificateholders of such election to liquidate or such determination to
purchase, as the case may be (the "Termination Notice"). The Holders of a
majority of the Percentage Interest of the Class R 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 REMIC II all Mortgage
Loans and all property theretofore acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of
foreclosure, or otherwise in respect of any Mortgage Loan then remaining in
REMIC II at a purchase price equal to the Termination Price for REMIC II.
(b) If, during the Purchase Option Period, the Class R
Certificateholders have not exercised the option described in the immediately
preceding paragraph, then upon the expiration of the Purchase Option Period (i)
in the event that the Majority Certificateholders have given the Trustee and the
Co-Trustee the direction described in clause (a)(i) above, the Trustee (or, with
respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Co-Trustee) shall sell the Mortgage
Loans and distribute the proceeds of the liquidation of REMIC II in accordance
with the plan of complete liquidation, such that, if so directed, the
liquidation of REMIC II, 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 Class A Certificateholders 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 from REMIC II the assets
described in clause (a)(ii) preceding, the Certificate Insurer shall so purchase
such assets from REMIC II within 60 days after the expiration of the Purchase
Option Period. 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.
(c) Following a Final Determination, the Holders of a majority of the
Percentage Interest of the Class R Certificates then outstanding may, at their
option and upon delivery to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer of an
opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel selected by the Holders of the
Class R Certificates which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Majority Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer to the
effect that the effect of the Final Determination is to increase substantially
the probability that the gross income of REMIC II will be subject to federal
taxation, purchase from REMIC II all Mortgage Loans and all property theretofore
acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise in respect of
any Mortgage Loan then remaining in REMIC II at a purchase price equal to the
Termination Price for REMIC II. 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 applicable Certificate Account, which
deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such purchase.
The foregoing opinion shall be deemed satisfactory unless the Majority
Certificateholders give the Holders of a majority of the Percentage Interest of
the Class R Certificates notice that such opinion is not satisfactory within
thirty days after receipt of such opinion.
Section 11.03 ADDITIONAL TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS.
(a) In the event the Servicer or the Certificate Insurer exercises its
purchase option as provided in Section 11.01 or 11.02, each of REMIC I and REMIC
II shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements,
unless the Trustee has been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this
Section 11.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" on REMIC I or REMIC II as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or
(ii) cause REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Class A Certificates are outstanding:
(i) Within 90 days prior to the final Remittance
Date, the holders of the Class R-1 and Class R-2 Certificates
shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation of REMIC I and
REMIC II, respectively, meeting the requirements of a
"Qualified Liquidation" under Section 860F of the Code and any
regulations thereunder;
(ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of
complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Remittance
Date, the Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage
Loans the Co-Trustee) shall sell for cash all of the assets of
REMIC I and REMIC II to the Servicer, the Certificate Insurer
or the Certificate Insurer's designee; and
(iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trustee shall (x) deposit into and withdraw
from the Certificate Accounts the amount of such final payment
and shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or
credited, to the Certificateholders of each Class, the related
Class Principal Balance, plus 30 days' interest thereon (or,
with respect to the Adjustable Rate Certificates, interest on
the actual number of days since the last Remittance Date up to
but not including the upcoming Remittance Date) at the related
Class Remittance Rate, and (y) to the Class R-1
Certificateholders, distribute all cash on hand after such
payment to the respective Class A Certificateholders and REMIC
I and REMIC II shall terminate at such time.
(b) By their acceptance of the Class R Certificates the holders
thereof hereby (i) agree to adopt such a plan of complete liquidation upon the
written request of the Servicer or Certificate Insurer and to take such other
action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Servicer
and (ii) appoint the Servicer as their attorney-in-fact, with full power of
substitution, for purposes of adopting such a plan of complete liquidation.

and the Claims Administrator under this Agreement.
ARTICLE XII
THE TRUSTEE
Section 12.01 DUTIES OF TRUSTEE.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after
the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. If an Event of Default has occurred and has not been cured or waived,
the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement, provided, however that the
Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument
furnished by the Servicer, the Representative, the Claims Administrator or any
Originator hereunder. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the
requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take
action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the
instrument is not corrected to the Trustee's satisfaction, the Trustee will
provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default,
and after the curing of all such Events of Default which may
have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall
be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the
performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically
set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the
Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of
the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an
error of judgment made in good faith by officers of the
Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with
respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken
by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
Certificate Insurer or the Class A Certificateholders,
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee,
under this Agreement;
(iv) In the absence of actual knowledge of an Event of
Default other than an Event of Nonpayment, the Trustee shall
not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or
knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless the
Trustee shall be specifically notified in writing by the
Servicer or the Certificate Insurer or any of the Class A
Certificateholders. In the absence of actual knowledge or
receipt of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume
that there is no default or Event of Default; and
(v) The Trustee shall not be required to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability for
the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise
of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground
for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.
Section 12.02 CERTAIN MATTERS AFFECTING THE TRUSTEE.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.01:
(i) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or
document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any opinion
of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or
omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with
such opinion of counsel;
(iii) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or
to institute, conduct or defend by litigation hereunder or in
relation hereto at the request, order or direction of the
Certificate Insurer or any of the Certificateholders, pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such
Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer, as applicable,
shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which
may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein
shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been
cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and
skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's
own affairs;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and
believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder and after the curing of all Events of Default which
may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or
other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so
by the Certificate Insurer, Holders of Class A Certificates
evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25%
of each Class of Class A Certificates; provided, however, that
if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the
costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in
the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the
Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security
afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may
require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability
as a condition to taking any such action. The reasonable
expense of every such examination shall be paid by the
Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the
Servicer upon demand from the Servicer's own funds;
(vi) The right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary
act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a
duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than
its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of
such act;
(vii) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or
surety in respect of the execution of the trust created hereby
or the powers granted hereunder; and
(viii) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or
by or through agents or attorneys.
(b) Following the Startup Day, except for deposits into the Spread
Account pursuant to Section 6.05, the Trustee shall not knowingly accept any
contribution of assets to the Trust Fund, unless the Trustee shall have received
an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the
Trust Fund will not cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject the Trust Fund to any tax
under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, New York
State or New York City law or ordinances.
Section 12.03 TRUSTEE NOT LIABLE FOR CERTIFICATES OR MORTGAGE LOANS.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
certificate of authentication on the Certificates) shall be taken as the
statements of the Servicer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their
correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or
related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Servicer of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of
such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the
Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the
Principal and Interest Account by the Servicer. The Trustee shall not be
responsible for the legality or validity of the Agreement or the validity,
priority, perfection or sufficiency of the security for the Certificates issued
or intended to be issued hereunder.
Section 12.04 TRUSTEE MAY OWN CERTIFICATES.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were
not Trustee, and may otherwise deal with the parties hereto.
Section 12.05 SERVICER TO PAY TRUSTEE'S FEES AND EXPENSES.
The Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to
time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall
not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a
trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of
the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the
powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and the Servicer will pay or
reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with
any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation
and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not
regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may
arise from its negligence or bad faith, provided that the Trustee shall have no
lien on the Trust Fund, other than the Expense Accounts, for the payment of its
fees and expenses. To the extent that actual fees and expenses of the Trustee
exceed the amount available for payment thereof on deposit in the Expense
Accounts as of the date such fees and expenses are due and payable, the Servicer
shall reimburse the Trustee for such shortfall out of its own funds without
reimbursement therefor, except as provided in Section 6.03. The Trustee and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the
Servicer and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (i) incurred
in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the
Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder, and (ii) resulting from any error in any tax or information return
prepared by the Servicer. The obligations of the Servicer under this Section
12.05 shall survive payment of the Certificates, and shall extend to any
co-trustee appointed pursuant to this Article XII.
Section 12.06 ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR TRUSTEE.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a banking association
organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the United States of
America, (i) authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, (ii)
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $30,000,000, (iii) except in
the case of The Bank of New York, whose unsecured and unguaranteed long-term
debt obligations shall be rated at least "A" by S&P, or such other rating as is
acceptable to the Certificate Insurer, (iv) subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority, and (v) is reasonably acceptable to
the Certificate Insurer. If such banking association publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section its combined capital and surplus shall be deemed to be as set forth in
its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section, the Trustee shall resign, upon the request of the Certificate Insurer
or the Majority Certificateholders, in the manner and with the effect specified
in Section 12.07.
Section 12.07 RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE TRUSTEE.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Servicer, the Certificate
Insurer and to all Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Servicer shall with the consent of the Certificate Insurer
promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to the successor
trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders
by the Servicer. Unless a successor trustee shall have been so appointed and
have accepted appointment within 60 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appoint ment of a successor trustee. If the resigning
Trustee fails to petition an appropriate court, the Certificate Insurer may,
after such 60 day period, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 12.06 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver
of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for
the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Servicer
may remove the Trustee and appoint, subject to the approval of the Certificate
Insurer, a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, which
instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the successor
trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders
by the Servicer.
The Majority Certificateholders with the consent of the Certificate
Insurer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, or the Certificate
Insurer may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered to the Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed
and one complete set to the successor Trustee so appointed.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in
Section 12.08.
Section 12.08 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 12.07 shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer and to its predecessor trustee
an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and
such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee
herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all
Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder, and
the Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 12.06.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section, the Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to all Holders of Certifi xxxxx at their addresses as shown in the
Certificate Register. If the Servicer fails to mail such notice within 10 days
after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee
shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer.
Section 12.09 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF TRUSTEE.
Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated or any corporation or national banking association
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee
shall be a party, or any corporation or national banking association succeeding
to the business of the trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation or national banking association shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 12.06, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 12.10 APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Fund or property securing the same 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 the Certificate Insurer pursuant to the procedure set forth below,
to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate
trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest
in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or
any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 12.10,
such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the
Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have
joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request
so to do, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee
or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility
as a successor trustee under Section 12.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of
Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be
required under Section 12.08 hereof. Any co-trustee with respect to the FHA
Loans must at all times have a valid FHA Contract of Insurance. The Trustee
shall notify the Certificate Insurer prior to the appointment of any
co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) and the Certificate Insurer shall have four
Business Days from its receipt of such notice to notify the Trustee whether it,
in its reasonable judgment, disapproves of such co-trustee(s) or separate
trustee(s). If the Certificate Insurer does not notify the Trustee within such
time frame, it will be deemed to have approved such co-trustee(s) or separate
trustee(s). If the Certificate Insurer notifies the Trustee within such time
frame that it, in its reasonable judgment, disapproves of such co-trustee(s) or
separate trustee(s) (which notice shall be accompanied by the name(s) of the
Certificate Insurer's alternative proposed co-trustee(s) or separate
trustee(s)), such appointments shall not be effective.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 12.10, 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 except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as
successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers,
duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any
portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by
such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article XII. 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.
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. The Trustee shall not be responsible
for any action or inaction of any such separate trustee or co-trustee. 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 Bank (N.A.) as
Co-Trustee with respect to all Pool III Mortgage Loans that constitute, or may
in the future constitute, part of the Trust Fund. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, whenever action, consent, approval or delivery to
or from the Trustee is required under this Agreement in connection with a Pool
III Mortgage Loan, such action, consent, approval or delivery to or from shall
be taken or made by the Co-Trustee. Also, any obligations of or benefits,
protection and indemnities provided to, the Trustee with respect to the Mortgage
Loans shall be obligations of, and benefits, protection and indemnities provided
to, the Co-Trustee with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained herein, the
Co-Trustee shall be responsible hereunder solely for the express duties and
functions specified for it herein with respect to the acceptance, ownership,
servicing compliance oversight, FHA Title I insurance coverage, substitution,
sale, release and discharge of Pool III Mortgage Loans, and shall not be
responsible for, and shall incur no liability in connection with, the actions,
duties and functions of the Trustee, including without limitation the payment of
Certificates or the oversight of servicing compliance for Mortgage Loans not
constituting Pool III Mortgage Loans.
Section 12.11 AUTHENTICATING AGENT.
Upon the request of the Servicer, the Trustee shall appoint an
Authenticating Agent, with power to act on the Trustee's behalf and subject to
its direction in the authentication and delivery of the Certificates in
connection with transfers and exchanges under Section 4.02, as fully to all
intents and purposes as though the Authenticating Agent had been expressly
authorized by that Section to authenticate and deliver Certificates. For all
purposes of this Agreement, the authentication and delivery of Certificates by
the Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be the
authentication and delivery of Certificates by the Trustee. Such Authenticating
Agent shall at all times be a Person meeting the requirements for the Trustee
set forth in Section 12.06, other than Section 12.06(iv).
Any corporation or national banking association into which any
Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation or national banking association resulting from
any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall
be a party, or any corporation or national banking association succeeding to the
corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of
the Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation or national
banking association is otherwise eligible under this Section, without the
execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the
Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.
Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving notice of
resignation to the Trustee and the Servicer. The Trustee may at any time
terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of
termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Servicer. Upon receiving such a
notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee
shall promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written
notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders as their names and
addresses appear on the Certificate Register. The Servicer agrees to pay to the
Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services.
The provisions of Sections 4.04 and 12.03 shall be applicable to any
Authenticating Agent.
Section 12.12 TAX RETURNS AND REPORTS.
The Trustee, upon request, will furnish the Servicer with all such
information as may be reasonably required in connection with the Servicer's
preparation of all Tax Returns of REMIC I and REMIC II and, upon request within
five (5) Business Days after its receipt thereof, shall (i) sign on behalf of
REMIC I and REMIC II any Tax Return that the Trustee is required to sign
pursuant to applicable federal, state or local tax laws, and (ii) cause such Tax
Return to have been returned to the Servicer for filing.
For Federal income tax purposes, the taxable year of the Trust Fund
shall be a calendar year and the Servicer shall maintain or cause the
maintenance of the books of REMIC I and REMIC II on the accrual method of
accounting.
The Servicer shall prepare and file or cause to be filed with the
Internal Revenue Service Federal tax information returns with respect to REMIC I
and REMIC II and the Certificates containing such information and at the times
and in the manner as may be required by the Code or applicable Treasury
regulations, and shall furnish to each Holder of Certificates at any time during
the calendar year for which such returns or reports are made such statements or
information at the times and in the manner as may be required thereby. In
connection with the foregoing, the Servicer shall provide the name, address and
telephone number of the person who can be contacted to obtain information
required to be reported to the holders of regular interests in REMIC I and REMIC
II (the "REMIC Reporting Agent") as required by IRS Form 8811. The Servicer
shall indicate the election to treat each of REMIC I and REMIC II as a REMIC
(which election shall apply to the taxable period ending December 31, 1996 and
each calendar year thereafter) in such manner as the Code or applicable Treasury
regulations may prescribe. The Trustee shall sign all tax information returns
filed pursuant to this Section and any other returns as may be required by the
Code, and in doing so shall rely entirely upon, and shall have no liability for
information provided by, or calculations provided by, the Servicer. The
Representative is hereby designated as the Tax Matters Person (within the
meaning of Section 1.860F-4(d) of the Regulations) for each of REMIC I and REMIC
II. Any Holder of a Class R Certificate will by acceptance thereof so appoint
the Representative as agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of acting as
Tax Matters Person for the related REMIC. In the event that the Code or
applicable Treasury Regulations prohibit the Trustee from signing tax or
information returns or other statements, or the Representative from acting as
Tax Matters Person (as an agent or otherwise), the Trustee or the Representative
shall take whatever action that in its sole good faith judgment is necessary for
the proper filing of such information returns or for the provision of a tax
matters person, including designation of the Holder of a Class R Certificate to
sign such returns or act as tax matters person. Each Holder of a Class R
Certificate shall be bound by this Section.
The Trustee shall provide upon request such information as required in
Section 860D(a)(6)(B) of the Code to the Internal Revenue Service and any Person
purporting to transfer a Class R Certificate.
Section 12.13 APPOINTMENT OF CUSTODIANS.
The Trustee may (or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the
Co-Trustee may), with the consent of the Servicer, appoint one or more
Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Trustee's Mortgage Files as agent for
the Trustee (or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Co-Trustee),
by entering into a Custodial Agreement. Subject to this Article XII, the Trustee
(or, with respect to the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Co-Trustee) agrees to
comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and
provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. The Trustee (or, with respect to
the Pool III Mortgage Loans, the Co-Trustee) shall be liable for the fees of any
Custodian appointed hereunder. Each Custodian (other than First Trust National
Association) shall be a depository institution subject to supervision by federal
or state authority, shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in
which it holds any Mortgage File.
The Co-Trustee and the Servicer hereby appoint First Trust National
Association as Custodian with respect to the Trustee's Mortgage Files relating
to all Pool III Mortgage Loans that constitute, or may in the future constitute,
part of the Trust Fund. The Custodian shall be responsible hereunder solely for
the express duties and functions specified for it herein with respect to the
custody, review and confirmation, safekeeping, substitution and release of the
Trustee's Mortgage Files relating to the Pool III Mortgage Loans.
Section 12.14. PROTECTION OF TRUST FUND.
(a) The Trustee will hold the Trust Fund in trust for the benefit of
the Holders and the Certificate Insurer and, upon request of the Certificate
Insurer, or, with the consent of the Certificate Insurer, at the request of the
Representative, will from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements
and amendments hereto pursuant to Section 13.02 hereof and all instruments of
further assurance and other instruments, and will take such other action upon
such request as it deems reasonably necessary or advisable, to:
(i) more effectively hold in trust all or any
portion of the Trust Fund;
(ii) perfect, publish notice of, or protect the
validity of any grant made or to be made by this
Agreement;
(iii) enforce any of the Mortgage Loans; or
(iv) preserve and defend title to the Trust Fund and the
rights of the Trustee, and the ownership interests of the
Owners represented thereby, in the Trust Fund against the
claims of all Persons and parties.
The Trustee shall send copies of any request received from the
Certificate Insurer or the Representative to take any action pursuant to this
Section 12.14 to the others.
(b) Subject to Article X hereof, the Trustee shall have the power to
enforce, and shall enforce the obligations of the other parties to this
Agreement and of the Certificate Insurer, by action, suit or proceeding at law
or equity, and shall also have the power to enjoin, by action or suit in equity,
any acts or occurrences which may be unlawful or in violation of the rights of
the Holders; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 12.14 shall require
any action by the Trustee unless the Trustee shall first (i) have been furnished
indemnity satisfactory to it and (ii) when required by this Agreement, have been
requested to take such action by the Majority Certificateholders, the
Certificate Insurer or the Representative in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(c) The Trustee shall execute any instrument required pursuant to this
Section so long as such instrument does not conflict with this Agreement or with
the Trustee's fiduciary duties.
Section 12.15. CALCULATION OF LIBOR.
(a) On each Interest Determination Date, the Trustee will determine
LIBOR based on the rate for one-month U.S. dollar deposits (the "One Month Index
Maturity") which appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on
such date in determining the Class A-10 and Class A-11 Remittance Rates for the
Remittance Date in the following month. If such LIBOR rate does not appear on
Telerate Page 3750, the LIBOR rate for that day will be determined on the basis
of the rates at which deposits in United States dollars, having the One-Month
Index Maturity and in a principal amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000, are
offered at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in
the London interbank market by the Reference Banks. The Trustee will request the
principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of
its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that day
will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are
provided, the rate for that day will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted
by major banks in New York City, selected by the Trustee, at approximately 11:00
a.m., New York City time, on that day for loans in United States dollars to
leading European banks having a One-Month Index Maturity and in a principal
amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000; provided that if the
banks selected as aforesaid are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR
in effect for the applicable Interest Period will be LIBOR in effect for the
previous Interest Period.
Neither the Representative, Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any
liability or responsibility to any Person for the selection of any Reference
Bank for the purpose of determining LIBOR. In determining LIBOR and the Class
A-10 and Class A-11 Remittance Rates, the Trustee may conclusively rely and
shall be protected in relying upon the rates appearing on Telerate Page 3750 or
the offered quotations (whether written, oral or on Telerate Page 3750) from
Reference Banks, as appropriate, in effect from time to time. Neither of the
Representative, the Servicer, the Certificate Insurer nor the Trustee shall have
liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the Trustee's selection of
Reference Banks for purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) the Trustee's or the
Servicer's inability, as applicable, following a good-faith reasonable effort,
to obtain such quotations from Reference Banks or such New York City banks or to
determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this Section 12.15.
The establishment of LIBOR and the Class A-10 and Class A-11
Remittance Rates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be
final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate, the
Representative, the Servicer and the Certificate Insurer.
The Trustee is not responsible for determining (or for the failure of
the Servicer to determine) the Net Funds Cap.

Registered Holder
The registered Holder named above is the registered Holder of a fractional
interest in a trust fund (the "Trust Fund"), the trust estate of which consists
primarily of four sub-trusts, including two pools ("Pool I" and "Pool II") of
one- to four-family ("single family") residential first and second mortgage
loans, having fixed rates, in the case of Pool I, and adjustable rates, in the
case of Pool II (the "Pool I Home Equity Loans" and "Pool II Home Equity
Loans"), one pool ("Pool III") of fixed rate single family residential first,
second and more junior home improvement mortgage loans (the "Pool III Home
Improvement Loans") and one pool ("Pool IV") of fixed rate five or more unit
residential or mixed-use residential and commercial ("multifamily") first
mortgage loans ("Pool IV Multifamily Loans") and certain related assets. The
Certificates are issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as

Store Inc. (the "Representative," "Servicer" and "Claims Administrator"),
certain subsidiaries of the Representative (the "Originators") and The Bank of
New York, as trustee (the "Trustee").
The Original Principal Amount set forth above is equal to the product of

30, 1996 (the "Startup Day"), which aggregate amount on December 30, 1996 was

Remittance Date, as hereinafter described, which will fully amortize such
Original Principal Amount over the period from the date of initial delivery
hereof to the final Remittance Date of the Class A-_ Certificates. Therefore,
the actual outstanding principal amount of this Certificate may, on any date
subsequent to the Remittance Date in July 1996 (the first Remittance Date) be
less than the Original Principal Amount set forth above.
THIS CERTIFICATE IS A PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE ONLY AND, NOTWITHSTANDING

designated as The Money Store Trust 1996-D, Asset Backed Certificates, Class A-_
(the "Class A-_ Certificates"), and issued under and subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which

close of business on the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding
the calendar month in which such Remittance Date occurs (the "Record Date") will
be entitled to receive that portion of the Pool [I][III][IV] Remittance Amount
relating to such Remittance Date as described in the Agreement. Except for the
final distribution, distributions will be made in immediately available funds to
Holders of the Class A-_ Certificates, by wire transfer or otherwise, to the
account of a Holder at a domestic bank or other entity having appropriate
facilities therefor, if such Holder has so notified the Trustee, or by check
mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the
Register.

receive such Holder's Percentage Interest in the amounts due on such Remittance
Date to the Holders of the Class A-_ Certificates. The Percentage Interest of
each Class A-_ Certificate as of any date of determination will be equal to the
percentage obtained by dividing the Original Principal Amount set forth on such

amount equal to the sum of (i) the Pool [I][III][IV] Current Interest
Requirement, (ii) the Pool [I][III][IV] Principal Distribution Amount, (iii) the
Pool [I][III][IV] Carry-Forward Amount and (iv) any amount received by the
Trustee from the Servicer or an Originator and paid to the Holders of the Pool
[I][II][IV] Certificates that constitutes a Monthly Advance and that is
recoverable and sought to be recovered as a voidable preference by a trustee in
bankruptcy pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time
to time (11 U.S.C.), in accordance with a final, nonappealable order of a court
having competent jurisdiction.
In the event that any amounts referenced in subclause (iv) above constitute
Insured Payments or any portion thereof, payment of such amounts shall be
disbursed to the trustee in bankruptcy named in the final order of the court
exercising jurisdiction and not directly to any Pool [I][III][IV]
Certificateholder unless such Pool [I][III][IV] Certificateholder has returned
principal or interest paid on the Pool [I][III][IV] Certificates to such trustee
in bankruptcy, in which case payment shall be disbursed to such Class A
Certificateholder.
The Mortgage Loans will be serviced by The Money Store Inc. (the
"Servicer") pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Pooling and
Servicing Agreement permits the Servicer to enter into Subservicing Agreements
with certain institutions eligible for appointment as Subservicers for the
servicing and administration of certain Mortgage Loans. No appointment of any
Subservicer 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 Mortgage Loans insured or guaranteed by, The
Money Store Inc. or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and, other than the
FHA Loans included in Pool III, are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Government National Mortgage Association, or
any other governmental agency. This Certificate is limited in right of payment
to certain collections and recoveries relating to the Mortgage Loans and amounts
on deposit in the Certificate Account, and payments received by the Trustee
pursuant to the related MBIA Policy, all as more specifically set forth
hereinabove and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
No Holder 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 Holder 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 Holder.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the obligations created
thereby will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the distribution to the
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them thereunder
and (ii) at any time when a Qualified Liquidation of the Trust is effected;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the
expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor of the last lineal
descendant of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the
Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the Startup Date.
Written notice of the final distribution to be made with respect to the
Class A-_ Certificates shall be given by the Trustee to the Class A-_
Certificateholders after the Trustee determines that a final distribution is
required to be made, specifying (i) the final Remittance Date upon which final
distribution on the Class A-_ Certificates will be made upon presentation and
surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein designated,
(ii) the amount of any such final distribution and (iii) that the Record Date
otherwise applicable to such Remittance Date is not applicable.

Certificates, upon compliance with the requirements set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, have the right to exercise any trust or power set forth in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Certificates or the
Trust Fund.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, 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 the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of like Class, tenor and a
like aggregate fractional undivided interest in the Trust Fund will be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees.
The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on each Remittance
Date to the Holder of this Certificate, as more fully described in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.
The Class A-_ Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates in
the minimum Percentage Interest corresponding to a minimum denomination of
$1,000 original principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000. As provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Class A-_ Certificates are exchangeable
for new Class A-_ Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Certificate 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.

Registered Holder
The registered Holder named above is the registered Holder of a fractional
interest in a trust fund (the "Trust Fund"), the trust estate of which consists
primarily of four sub-trusts, including two pools ("Pool I" and "Pool II") of
one- to four-family ("single family") residential first and second mortgage
loans, having fixed rates, in the case of Pool I, and adjustable rates, in the
case of Pool II (the "Pool I Home Equity Loans" and "Pool II Home Equity
Loans"), one pool ("Pool III") of fixed rate single family residential first,
second and more junior home improvement mortgage loans (the "Pool III Home
Improvement Loans") and one pool ("Pool IV") of fixed rate five or more unit
residential or mixed-use residential and commercial ("multifamily") first
mortgage loans ("Pool IV Multifamily Loans") and certain related assets. The
Certificates are issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as
of November 30, 1996 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among The Money
Store Inc. (the "Representative," "Servicer" and "Claims Administrator"),
certain subsidiaries of the Representative (the "Originators") and The Bank of
New York, as trustee (the "Trustee").
The Original Principal Amount set forth above is equal to the product of
(i) the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate and (ii) the
aggregate original principal amount of the Class A-_ Certificates on December
30, 1996 (the "Startup Day"), which aggregate amount on December 30, 1996 was
$_____________. The Holder hereof is entitled to principal payments on each
Remittance Date, as hereinafter described, which will fully amortize such
Original Principal Amount over the period from the date of initial delivery
hereof to the final Remittance Date of the Class A-_ Certificates. Therefore,
the actual outstanding principal amount of this Certificate may, on any date
subsequent to the Remittance Date in October 1996 (the first Remittance Date),
be less than the Original Principal Amount set forth above.
THIS CERTIFICATE IS A PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE ONLY AND, NOTWITHSTANDING
REFERENCES HEREIN TO PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST, NO DEBT OF ANY PERSON IS
REPRESENTED HEREBY.

Class X and the Class R 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 "Remittance Date"),
commencing October 1996, the Holders of the Class A-__ Certificates as of the
close of business on the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding
the calendar month in which such Remittance Date occurs (the "Record Date") will
be entitled to receive that portion of the Pool [I][II][III] Remittance Amount
relating to such Remittance Date as described in the Agreement. Except for the
final distribution, distributions will be made in immediately available funds to
Holders of the Class A-__ Certificates, by wire transfer or otherwise, to the
account of a Holder at a domestic bank or other entity having appropriate
facilities therefor, if such Holder has so notified the Trustee, or by check
mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the
Register.
Each Holder of record of a Class A-__ Certificate will be entitled to
receive such Holder's Percentage Interest in the amounts due on such Remittance
Date to the Holders of the Class A-__ Certificates. The Percentage Interest of
each Class A-__ Certificate as of any date of determination will be equal to the
percentage obtained by dividing the Original Principal Amount set forth on such
Class A-__ Certificate by $-------------.
The Pool [I][II][III] Remittance Amount for any Remittance Date will be an
amount equal to the sum of (i) the Pool [I][II][III] Current Interest
Requirement, (ii) the Pool [I][II][III] Principal Distribution Amount, (iii) the
Pool [I][II][III] Carry-Forward Amount and (iv) any amount received by the
Trustee from the Servicer or an Originator and paid to the Holders of the Pool
[I][II][III] Certificates that constitutes a Monthly Advance and that is
recoverable and sought to be recovered as a voidable preference by a trustee in
bankruptcy pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended from time
to time (11 U.S.C.), in accordance with a final, nonappealable order of a court
having competent jurisdiction.
With respect to the Remittance Date occurring in October 1996, the Class
A-__ Remittance Rate will be ______% per annum. For each Remittance Date
thereafter, the Class A-__ Remittance Rate will equal, subject to a maximum rate
equal to the Net Funds Cap, a per annum rate equal to [the sum of the London
interbank offered rate for one-month U.S. dollar deposits ("LIBOR"), determined
as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and ____% (or ____% for each
Remittance Date occurring after the Optional Servicer Termination Date).][the
annual rate of interest determined according to the Auction Procedures.] [In no
event will the Class A-__ Remittance Rate exceed _____%.]
If on any Remittance Date, the Class A-__ Remittance Rate is based upon the
Net Funds Cap, the excess of (i) the amount of interest Class A-__ would be
entitled to receive on such Remittance Date at a rate equal to [LIBOR plus the
applicable margin][the rate determined according to the Auction Procedures] (but
in no event greater than ____%) over (ii) the amount of interest Class A-__ will
receive on such Remittance Date at the Net Funds Cap, together with the unpaid
portion of any such excess from prior Remittance Dates (and interest accrued
thereon at the then applicable Class A-__ Remittance Rate without giving effect
to the Net Funds Cap, but in no event exceeding _____% per annum) is referred to
herein as the "Certificateholders' Interest Carryover." Any Certificateholders'
Interest Carryover will be paid on future Remittance Dates as set forth in the
Agreement. No Certificateholders' Interest Carryover will be paid to the Class
A-__ Certificates after the related principal balance is reduced to zero. The
ratings of the Class A-__ Certificates do not address the likelihood of the
payment of the amount of any Certificateholders' Interest Carryover and the
policy issued by the Certificate Insurer does not guaranty payment of any such
amounts.
In the event that any amounts referenced in subclause (iv) above constitute
Insured Payments or any portion thereof, payment of such amounts shall be
disbursed to the trustee in bankruptcy named in the final order of the court
exercising jurisdiction and not directly to any Pool [I][II][III]
Certificateholder unless such Pool [I][II][III] Certificateholder has returned
principal or interest paid on the Pool [I][II][III] Certificates to such trustee
in bankruptcy, in which case payment shall be disbursed to such Class A
Certificateholder.
The Mortgage Loans will be serviced by The Money Store Inc. (the
"Servicer") pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Pooling and
Servicing Agreement permits the Servicer to enter into Subservicing Agreements
with certain institutions eligible for appointment as Subservicers for the
servicing and administration of certain Mortgage Loans. No appointment of any
Subservicer 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 Mortgage Loans insured or guaranteed by, The
Money Store Inc. or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and, other than the
FHA Loans included in Pool III, are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Government National Mortgage Association, or
any other governmental agency. This Certificate is limited in right of payment
to certain collections and recoveries relating to the Mortgage Loans and amounts
on deposit in the Certificate Account, and payments received by the Trustee
pursuant to the related MBIA Policy, all as more specifically set forth
hereinabove and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
No Holder 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 Holder 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 Holder.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the obligations created
thereby will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the distribution to the
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them thereunder
and (ii) at any time when a Qualified Liquidation of the Trust is effected;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the
expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor of the last lineal
descendant of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the
Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the Startup Date.
Written notice of the final distribution to be made with respect to the
Class A-__ Certificates shall be given by the Trustee to the Class A-__
Certificateholders after the Trustee determines that a final distribution is
required to be made, specifying (i) the final Remittance Date upon which final
distribution on the Class A-__ Certificates will be made upon presentation and
surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein designated,
(ii) the amount of any such final distribution and (iii) that the Record Date
otherwise applicable to such Remittance Date is not applicable.
The final distribution on any Certificate shall only be made upon
presentation of such Certificate to the Trustee.
The Holders of a majority of the Percentage Interests represented by the
Class X- 0, 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, Class A-13, Class
A-14, Class A-15 and Class A-16 Certificates, upon compliance with the
requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, have the right to
exercise any trust or power set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
with respect to the Certificates or the Trust Fund.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, 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 the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of like Class, tenor and a
like aggregate fractional undivided interest in the Trust Fund will be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees.
The Trustee is required to furnish certain information on each Remittance
Date to the Holder of this Certificate, as more fully described in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.
The Class A-__ Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates in
the minimum Percentage Interest corresponding to a minimum denomination of
$1,000 original principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000. As provided
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Class A-__ Certificates are exchangeable
for new Class A-__ Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Certificate 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.

AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). ANY RESALE OR TRANSFER OF THIS CERTIFICATE WITHOUT
REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER THE ACT MAY BE MADE ONLY IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM
THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS
OF SECTION 4.02 OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN.

THAT HAS A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION AS A RECORD HOLDER IN ANY TAXABLE YEAR

REGULATED INVESTMENT COMPANIES, REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS, COMMON TRUST
FUNDS, PARTNERSHIPS, TRUSTS, ESTATES, COOPERATIVES TO WHICH PART I OF SUBCHAPTER

INTRODUCED ON JUNE 26, 1991, PROVIDES THAT EACH PARTNER IN A "LARGE PARTNERSHIP"
HOLDING A RESIDUAL INTEREST IN A REMIC SHALL BE TREATED AS A DISQUALIFIED
ORGANIZATION FOR PURPOSES OF THE TAX IMPOSED ON PASS-THRU ENTITIES UNDER SECTION
860E(e)(6) OF THE CODE. IF ENACTED, THIS DEFINITION WOULD BE EFFECTIVE FOR A

COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The undersigned is a of
, the proposed transferee (the "Transferee") of a
Percentage Interest in a Class R Certificate (the "Certificate") issued pursuant
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, The Money Store Asset Backed
Certificates, Series 1996-D, Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-4, Class
A-5, Class A-6, Class A-7, Class X- 0, Class A-9, Class A-10, Class A-11, Class
A-12, Class A-13, Class A-14, Class A-15, Class A-16, Class X and Class R, dated
as of November 30, 1996, (the "Agreement") among The Money Store Inc., as
Representative, servicer (the "Servicer") and claims administrator ("Claims
Administrator"), the Originators and The Bank of New York, as Trustee.
Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to
make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee.
2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as
of the date of the transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring
its Percentage Interest in the Certificate either (i) for its own account or
(ii) as nominee, trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an
affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The
Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that
(i) a tax will be imposed on transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are
not Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or,
if such transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and
(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for
the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that
such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of
transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a
tax will be imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any
time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee is a record holder of an interest in such entity. The
Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an
affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through
entity does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership trust or estate, and
certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 4.02
of the Agreement (incorporated herein by reference) and understands the legal
consequences of the acquisition of a Percentage Interest in the Certificate
including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the
provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee
expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 4.02
of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The
Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations
included herein shall render the transfer to the
Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from
any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to transfer its Percentage Interest
in the Certificate, and in connection with any transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
transfer its Percentage Interest or cause any Percentage Interest to be
transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate (a "Transfer
Certificate") to the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that
the Person to which the transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.

SUB-SERVICING AGREEMENT
THIS SUB-SERVICING AGREEMENT is made effective as of the ____ day of
December 1996, by and between The Money Store Inc., a New Jersey corporation
(the "Servicer") whose principal business address is 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx,
Xxx Xxxxxx 00000, and each of the entities listed on Schedule A hereto (each an
"Originator", and collectively the "Originators").
RECITALS
1. Each Originator is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Servicer.
2. The Servicer, the Originators and The Bank of New York, as trustee
(the "Trustee"), are parties to that certain Pooling and Servicing Agreement
dated and effective as of November 30, 1996 (the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement").
3. Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each
Originator has transferred those certain Mortgage Loans (as defined in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement) listed next to each Originator's name on
Schedule B hereto to the Trustee or (in the case of the Pool III Loans
Co-Trustee), for the benefit of Certificateholders (as defined in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement).
4. The Originators desire to convey to the Servicer the right to
service the Mortgage Loans. As authorized by the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Servicer desires to enter into a subservicing agreement with each
Originator so that each Originator will perform subservicing functions for the
Mortgage Loans transferred by it to the Trustee or (in the case of the Pool III
Loans Co-Trustee), such subservicing functions to be rendered in compliance with
the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
5. Each Originator desires to undertake such subservicing and
supervision of the Mortgage Loans on the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements of the parties
herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which each party hereby acknowledges, and in order in part to induce the Trustee
to enter into the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and perform its obligations
thereunder, the parties agree as follows:
1. ASSIGNMENT OF SERVICING; SUBSERVICING AGREEMENT. Each Originator
hereby assigns, transfers, conveys and sets over to the Servicer, its successors
and assigns, all of such Originator's right, title and interest to service the
Mortgage Loans listed next to such Originator's name on the schedule furnished
by each Originator to the Servicer and dated the date hereof, to have and to
hold such rights hereby assigned, conveyed and transferred to the Servicer, for
its own use and benefit, and that of its successors and assigns, forever. In
consideration of the foregoing assignment, the Servicer hereby appoints each
Originator as subservicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans conveyed by each
such Originator to the Trustee (or, in the case of the Pool III Loans, to the
Co-Trustee), each such Originator to service and supervise such Mortgage Loans
as provided for herein, such subservicing to commence on the effective date of
this Agreement and to terminate as provided for herein. As compensation for such
subservicing and supervision, each Originator shall be entitled to an annual fee
for each Mortgage Loan serviced, such fee to be computed and paid as set forth
on Schedule B hereto. Each Originator, as contract subservicer, shall service
and administer the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority,
acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration which the Originator may deem necessary or desirable; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that each Originator shall conduct its servicing activities (i) in
compliance with and pursuant to the servicing requirements set out in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as such requirements relate to subservicing
rendered thereunder, and (ii) to the extent not inconsistent with such
Originator's obligations as an authorized subservicer under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, (x) in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 hereof
and (y) otherwise in accordance with the standards and requirements set forth on
Schedule C hereto and subject to applicable Federal, state and local laws and
regulations. On or after the date hereof, each Originator shall deliver such
appropriately executed and authenticated instruments of sale, assignment,
transfer and conveyance to the Servicer, if any, including limited powers of
attorney, as the Servicer or its counsel determine to be reasonable in order to
accomplish the transfer to the Servicer of such Originator's rights with respect
to the servicing.
2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Originator represents and
warrants as follows:
2.1 Such Originator is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation. Originator is
and at all relevant times has been properly licensed and qualified to transact
business in all appropriate jurisdictions, to conduct all activities performed
with respect to origination and servicing of the Mortgage Loans and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be in such good standing
would have a material, adverse effect on the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby.
2.2 Originator has all requisite corporate power, authority and
capacity to enter into this Agreement and to perform the obligations required of
it hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Originator,
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, have each been
duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action. This Agreement
constitutes the valid and legally binding agreement of Originator enforceable in
accordance with its terms, and no offset, counterclaim or defense exists to the
full performance of this Agreement, subject to laws respecting bankruptcy,
receivership, insolvency and other laws affecting creditors' rights generally.
2.3 The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by
Originator, its compliance with the terms hereof and consummation of the
transactions contemplated will not violate, conflict with, result in a breach
of, constitute a default under, be prohibited by or require any additional
approval under its certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or any instrument or
agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound or which affects the
servicing conveyed hereunder.
2.4 Such Originator is the lawful owner of the servicing, has the sole
right and authority to transfer the servicing as contemplated hereby, and is not
contractually obligated to sell the servicing to any other party. The transfer,
assignment and delivery of the servicing in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall vest in the Servicer all rights as servicer
free and clear of any and all claims, charges, defenses, offsets and
encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever, including but not limited to
those of Originator.
2.5 With respect to each individual Mortgage Loan for which servicing
rights are assigned hereunder, such Originator makes to the Servicer those
representations and warranties that are contained in Section 3.02 of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.
3. ORIGINATOR'S DUTIES. Until the principal, interest and any other
amounts due on each Mortgage Loan are paid in full, each Originator shall:
A. Proceed diligently to collect all payments due
under the terms of each Mortgage Loan as they become due.
B. Keep a complete and accurate account of and properly apply
all sums collected by it from the mortgagor on account of each such
Mortgage Loan for principal and interest, and upon request, furnish
evidence acceptable to the Servicer of all expenditures for taxes,
assessments and other public charges and hazard insurance premiums. In
the event any Mortgagor fails to make a payment to an Originator
required to be made under the terms of any such Mortgage Loan, such
Originator will notify the Servicer of such fact within 20 days after
the same shall have become due and payable.
C. Deposit all funds received in respect of each Mortgage Loan
in an account in an institution the accounts of which are insured by an
agency of the United States government. Unless directed otherwise by
the Servicer such account shall be held by a Originator, which shall
maintain or shall cause to be maintained detailed records to show the
respective interest of each individual mortgagor in the account.
D. Pay into the related Principal and Interest Accounts
(as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) all amounts
of principal and interest collected under the Mortgage Loans.
E. Submit to the Servicer at least annually an
accounting of the balances in each such account, if any.
F. Perform such other customary duties, furnish such other
reports and execute such other documents in connection with its duties
hereunder as the Servicer from time to time reasonably may require.
4. ADVANCES BY ORIGINATOR. In the event an Originator, on behalf of
the Servicer, makes any advance of principal and/or interest to the holder of a
mortgage serviced hereunder before such Originator has received the applicable
mortgage payment from any mortgagor, or makes any other advance to protect the
security of a mortgage or otherwise (including but not limited to property
taxes, special assessments, and hazard insurance premiums), EXCEPT advances
related to foreclosure or real estate owned losses (which are covered by Section
8), then the Servicer, promptly upon being billed therefore, shall, at its
option, either (i) reimburse such Originator the full amount of all such
advances, (ii) credit such amount as a set-off against amounts such Originator
may then owe to the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) use a combination
of such reimbursement and crediting to fully discharge such amount or (iv)
forego such reimbursement or crediting with respect to all or a portion of such
amount, in which case the amount not reimbursed or offset shall be deemed
currently due and payable and, until paid to such Originator, shall bear
interest on the average monthly balance thereof at the underlying Mortgage Loan
Rate.
5. ORIGINATOR'S RECORDS; MONITORING OF PROPERTY. Each Originator will
during regular business hours make all of its records and files relating to
Mortgage Loans covered by this Agreement available for inspection by the
Servicer and its authorized agents. In addition, an Originator will use ordinary
diligence to ascertain, and will forthwith notify the Servicer of any of the
following which might come to the attention of such Originator:
A. The vacating of or any change in the occupancy of any
premises securing a mortgage.
B. The sale or transfer of any such premises.
C. The death, bankruptcy, insolvency or other disability of a
mortgagor which might impair ability to repay the Mortgage Loan.
D. Any loss or damage in excess of $10,000 to any such
premises, in which event, in addition to notifying the Servicer, an
Originator shall see to it that the insurance companies concerned are
promptly notified. For losses or damages of $10,000 or less, the
Servicer hereby authorizes an Originator to endorse insurance checks
or drafts on behalf of the Servicer. For losses or damages in excess
of $10,000, an Originator shall make a report to the Servicer and the
Servicer retains the right to endorse any insurance drafts related to
such loss or damage.
E. Any lack of repair or any other deterioration or waste
suffered or committed in respect to the premises covered by any
mortgage.
It is understood and agreed, however, that no notice need be given to the
Servicer of any facts other than those of which an Originator has actual notice,
or those of which an Originator would, except for its negligence, have had
actual notice.
6. NO WAIVER, RELEASE OR CONSENT BY ORIGINATOR. An Originator will not
waive, modify, release or consent to postponement on the part of the mortgagor
of any term or provision of any Mortgage Loan without the consent of the
Servicer.
7. HAZARD INSURANCE. An Originator shall cause to be maintained such
fire and hazard insurance as shall be requested by the Servicer pursuant to
Sections 5.07 and 5.08 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
8. FORECLOSURE AND REAL ESTATE OWNED. An Originator will assist in the
foreclosure or other acquisition of the property securing any Mortgage Loan and
the transfer of such property, pursuant to instruction of the Servicer given
under Section 5.10 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
9. TERM; TERMINATION. This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof
and shall, subject to earlier termination pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 9, terminate upon the termination of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. This Agreement may be canceled and terminated (i) at any time
hereunder by the Servicer on 10 days notice to an Originator, or (ii) by the
Trustee or the Co-Trustee on notice to an Originator, at any time after the
Trustee or the Co- Trustee, as the case may be, shall have become the successor
servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans or Pool III Loans, as the case may
be, pursuant to Sections 10.01 and 10.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
In addition, this Agreement may be canceled and terminated by the Servicer, by
notice to an Originator, if:
A. An Originator fails in a material respect to perform its
obligations hereunder and (i) does not cure or rectify such failure
within 45 days or, (ii) if the character of such cure or rectification
is such that it cannot reasonably be effected within 45 days, does not
commence such cure or rectification within 45 days and complete the
same within a commercially reasonable time thereafter, given the
circumstances.
B. An Originator becomes insolvent or bankrupt or is placed
under conservatorship or receivership.
C. An Originator assigns or attempts to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder, without written consent of the Servicer,
provided that any assignment, transfer or other conveyance of an
Originator's rights and obligations hereunder that occurs as a result
of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, name change or acquisition
of or involving an Originator shall not be construed as an assignment
(or attempted assignment) under the provisions of this Section 9.C.
Upon termination of this Agreement, an Originator will account for and turn over
to the Servicer all funds collected under each Mortgage Loan for which said
termination is effective, less only the compensation, fees and reimbursements
then due an Originator, and will deliver to the Servicer or its designee all
records and documents relating to each such mortgage.
10. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS. Each Originator will
comply with, and will use all reasonable efforts to cause each Mortgagor to
comply with, all applicable state and federal rules and regulations or
requirements including those requiring the giving of notices.
11. FIDELITY, ERRORS AND OMISSIONS INSURANCE, ETC. Each Originator
agrees to be responsible, at no expense to the Servicer, for seeing to it that
at all times, while this Agreement is in force, policies of fidelity, fire, and
extended coverage, theft, forgery, and errors and omissions insurance are
maintained in conformity with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Each
Originator will, without demand therefore, provide the Servicer annually, on a
date agreeable to the Servicer, a certificate or binder of insurance delineating
the various types of insurance carried by such Originator.
12. MISCELLANEOUS. This document contains the entire agreement between
the parties hereto and cannot be modified in any respect except by an amendment
in writing signed by each party. The invalidity of any portion of this Agreement
shall in no way affect the balance thereof. Any notice permitted or required
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when hand delivered to
an officer or authorized agent of, or when mailed, registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, to Servicer or an Originator at the address of the Servicer set
forth above. The captions and headings used in this Agreement are for
convenience only, and do not define or limit the terms and provisions of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary,
nothing contained herein shall be deemed an attempt to assign or an assignment
of any servicing rights by an Originator to the Servicer if an attempted
assignment of the same without the consent of any agency or instrumentality of
the United States or a state thereof (a "Regulatory Authority") with
jurisdiction over such assignment would constitute a breach of an applicable
regulatory requirement or agreement between an Originator and such Regulatory
Authority unless and until such consent shall have been obtained. In the event
the consent of any Regulatory Authority is required to authorize the conveyance
of any or all of the servicing to be conveyed hereunder and such consent shall
not have been granted prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under
Section 10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default, each Originator shall enter into an agreement with the
Trustee (or, in the case of the Pool III Loans, the Co-Trustee), which agreement
shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee (or, in the case of
the Pool III Loans, the Co- Trustee) and its counsel, which recognizes the
Trustee (or, in the case of the Pool III Loans, the Co-Trustee) as the successor
servicer of the Mortgage Loans as provided for by such Section 10.01, and shall
continue to subservice the Mortgage Loans or shall convey such subservicing at
the election and upon the direction of the Trustee (or, in the case of the Pool
III Loans, the Co- Trustee).
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each party has caused this instrument to be signed
in its corporate name on its behalf by its proper officials duly authorized as
of the day and year first above written.
