to determine that they or the signatures thereon are genuine, enforceable, or
appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been
recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or
(B) to determine whether any Contract File should include any assumption
agreement, modification agreement or waiver agreement.
If the Servicer discovers any discrepancy between any Contract and the
Contract Schedule, or that any required Contract Document is defective or
missing from the related Contract File, in either case in a manner that is
materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, it shall
immediately provide written notice to the Seller (unless the Seller is the
Servicer) and the Trustee of such discrepancy, incompleteness or defect. If
the Seller does not cure such discrepancy or such incomplete or defective
Contract File within 90 days after discovery or its receipt of written notice
of such discrepancy, incompleteness or defect, the Servicer shall take all
steps within its power to enforce the Trustee's right to require the Seller to
repurchase the affected Contract (or in the alternative to substitute for such
Contract, if the substitution will take place within two years after the
Closing Date) pursuant to the applicable Sales Agreement or, in the alternative
(if the discrepancy consists of an overstatement in the Contract Schedule of
the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of a Contract), to deposit cash into the
related Certificate Account in the amount of such overstatement of the Cut-off
Date Principal Balance of a Contract in the Contract Schedule (as described in
the applicable Sales Agreement).
(c) Security Interests in the Contracts, Manufactured Homes and
Real Property.
-32-
38
(1) Perfection of Trustee's Security Interest in
Contracts. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall cause
to be filed in all appropriate UCC filing offices, UCC-1 financing
statements describing the Trust Estate (including the Contracts and
payments due thereon after the Cut-off Date) and proceeds thereof as
"collateral" and (1) naming the Seller as "Debtor," the Company as
"Secured Party," and the Trustee on behalf of the Trust as "Assignee,"
and (2) naming the Company as "Debtor" and the Trustee on behalf of
the Trust as "Secured Party." Each financing statement shall bear a
statement on the face thereof indicating that the parties intend the
financing statement to evidence a true sale of chattel paper, but that
if the transaction is recharacterized as a loan from the Trust to the
Seller or as involving a loan from the Trust to the Company or from
the Company to the Seller, the financing statement is to perfect the
Trust's security interest in the chattel paper. The Servicer shall
cause to be filed all necessary continuation statements for each of
the aforementioned UCC-1 financing statements. Within one week after
the Closing Date, the Servicer will stamp the face of each Contract
with the following legend (with the name of the Trustee filled into
each blank): "This Contract has been assigned
to________________________________, as Trustee on behalf of the Trust,
as defined in and pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement among
Bombardier Capital Mortgage Securitization Corporation, Bombardier
Capital Inc. and____________________________________ ______."
(2) Perfection of Trustee's Security Interest in
Manufactured Homes. So long as the Contract Documents for each
Contract contain evidence of perfection of either the Seller's, the
Company's or the Trustee's security interest in the related
Manufactured Home, neither the Seller nor the Company shall be
required to cause notations to be made on any certificate or other
document of title relating to such Manufactured Home or to execute any
transfer instrument (including, without limitation, any UCC-3
assignments) relating to such Manufactured Home, except under the
limited circumstances described in Section 2.06(b) below. Subject to
the limitation described in the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall
take all steps necessary, at its own expense, to maintain perfection
of the Trustee's lien on each Manufactured Home to the extent the
Servicer receives notice of relocation, re-registration or sale
thereof.
(3) Real Estate Assignments. The Contract Documents for
each Land Secured Contract are required to contain evidence that the
Seller has record title to the Real Property underlying such Land
Secured Contract. Neither the Seller nor the Company will be required
to prepare, deliver or record any assignments to the Company or the
Trustee in recordable form for the Mortgages related to such Land
Secured Contracts. However, on or before the Closing Date, the Seller
shall deliver to the Trustee an executed power of attorney
substantially in the form of Exhibit 9 hereto, authorizing the Trustee
to execute and record assignments of Mortgages securing Land Secured
Contracts from the Seller to the Trustee in the event that recordation
of such assignments becomes necessary for foreclosure on the related
Real Property by or on behalf of the Trustee. Pursuant to such power
of attorney, at the Servicer's instruction, the Trustee shall execute
any such assignments as are provided to the Trustee by the Servicer.
After execution of any such assignments, the Trustee shall
-33-
39
redeliver such assignments to the Servicer at the Servicer's expense.
Any expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with the foregoing
or in connection with its recordation of assignments in preparation
for a foreclosure on a Land Secured Contract shall constitute
Liquidation Expenses.
SECTION 2.03. THE MORTGAGE LOANS.
(a) Custody of Trustee Mortgage Loan Files. In connection with
the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans from the Company to the
Trustee, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee or
its Custodian on or before the Closing Date, a Trustee Mortgage Loan File
containing each of the documents listed in the definition thereof. If any
Mortgage or an Assignment of a Mortgage to the Trustee or any prior Assignment
is in the process of being recorded on the Closing Date, the Company shall
cause each such original recorded document or certified copy thereof, to be
delivered to the Trustee or its Custodian promptly following its recordation.
The Company shall also cause to be delivered to the Trustee any other original
Mortgage Loan Document to be included in the Trustee Mortgage Loan File if a
copy thereof initially was delivered.
In lieu of recording an Assignment of any Mortgage for any Mortgage
Loan, the Company may deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trust or its
Custodian the Assignment of the Mortgage from the Seller to the Trustee in a
form suitable for recordation, together with an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that recording is not required to protect the Trustee's right, title and
interest in and to the related Mortgage Loan or, in case a court should
recharacterize the sale of the Mortgage Loans as a financing, to perfect a
first priority security interest in favor of the Trust in the related Mortgage
Loan. In the event that the Servicer receives notice that recording is
required to protect the right, title and interest of the Trust in and to any
such Mortgage Loan for which recordation of an Assignment has not previously
been required, the Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Trustee
shall within five Business Days of its receipt of such notice deliver, or cause
to be delivered, each previously unrecorded Assignment to the Servicer for
recordation.
By its execution of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for a Series,
the Trustee acknowledges and declares that it or the Custodian holds and will
hold or has agreed to hold all documents delivered to it from time to time with
respect to a Mortgage Loan underlying such Series and all other assets
delivered to it or its Custodian and that are included in the definition of
"Trust Estate" in the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement in trust for the
exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
(b) Custody of Servicer Mortgage Loan Files. The Servicer has in
its possession a Servicer Mortgage Loan File for each Mortgage Loan containing
each of the documents listed in the definition thereof. All such documents
shall be held by the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf
of the Certificateholders.
-34-
40
(c) Review of Trustee Mortgage Loan Files.
(1) Initial Certification. The Trustee shall, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders for any Series, review each related
Trustee Mortgage Loan File prior to the related Closing Date to
ascertain that all documents required to be included in the Trustee
Mortgage Loan File are included therein, and shall deliver to the
Company and the Servicer on such Closing Date an Initial Certification
with respect to each underlying Mortgage Loan (except any Mortgage
Loan that has been liquidated or purchased from the related Trust
prior to such Closing Date) to the effect that, except as specifically
noted on a schedule of exceptions thereto, (A) all documents required
to be contained in the Trustee Mortgage Loan File are in its
possession, (B) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear
regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan, and (C) based
on its examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the
information set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately
reflects information set forth in the Trustee Mortgage Loan File.
It is understood that before making the Initial Certification
for any Series, the Trustee shall examine the related Mortgage Loan
Documents to confirm that:
(A) each Mortgage Note and Mortgage bears an
original signature or signatures purporting to be that of the
Person or Persons named as the maker and mortgagor/trustor or,
if photocopies are permitted, that such copies bear a
reproduction of such signature or signatures;
(B) except for the endorsement to the Trustee,
neither the Mortgage nor any Assignment, on the face or the
reverse side(s) thereof, contain evidence of any unsatisfied
claims, liens, security interests, encumbrances or
restrictions on transfer;
(C) the principal amount of the indebtedness
secured by the related Mortgage is identical to the original
principal amount of the related Mortgage Note;
(D) the Assignment of the related Mortgage from
the Seller to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust is in the
form required pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of
Mortgage Loan Documents, and bears an original signature of
the Seller and any other necessary party (or signatures
purporting to be that of the Seller and any such other party)
or, if photocopies are permitted, that such copies bear a
reproduction of such signature or signatures;
(E) if intervening Assignments are included in
the Trustee Mortgage Loan File, each such intervening
Assignment bears an original signature of the related
mortgagee and/or the assignee (and any other necessary party)
(or signatures purporting to be that of the Seller and any
such other party) or, if photocopies are permitted, that such
copies bear a reproduction of such signature or signatures;
-35-
41
(F) if either a Title Insurance Policy, a
preliminary title report or a written commitment to issue a
Title Insurance Policy is delivered, the address of the real
property set forth in such policy, report or written
commitment is identical to the real property address contained
in the related Mortgage; and
(G) if any of a Title Insurance Policy,
certificate of title insurance or a written commitment to
issue a Title Insurance Policy is delivered, such policy,
certificate or written commitment is for an amount not less
than the original principal amount of the related Mortgage
Note and such Title Insurance Policy insures that the related
Mortgage creates a first lien, senior in priority to all other
deeds of trust, mortgages, deeds to secure debt, financing
statements and security agreements and to any mechanics'
liens, judgment liens or writs of attachment (or if the Title
Insurance Policy or certificate of title insurance has not
been issued, the written commitment for such insurance
obligates the insurer to issue such policy for an amount not
less than the original principal amount of the related
Mortgage Note).
(2) Final Certification. Prior to the first anniversary
date of the Closing Date for a Series, the Trustee shall deliver to
the Company and the Servicer a Final Certification evidencing the
completeness of the Trustee Mortgage Loan File for each Mortgage Loan,
with any applicable exceptions noted on such Final Certification.
(3) Certifications Generally. In giving each of the
Initial Certification and the Final Certification with respect to a
Series, the Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation (A) to
inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, securities
or other papers to determine that they or the signatures thereon are
genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or
that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what
they purport to be on their face or (B) to determine whether any
Trustee Mortgage Loan File should include any assumption agreement,
modification agreement, written assurance or substitution agreement.
(4) Recordation Report. No later than the fifth Business
Day of each third month, commencing the fourth month following the
month in which the Closing Date for a Series occurs, the Trustee shall
deliver to the Servicer a Recordation Report for such Series, dated as
of the first day of such month, identifying those Mortgage Loans
underlying such Series for which it has not yet received (A) an
original recorded Mortgage or a copy thereof certified to be true and
correct by the public recording office in possession of such Mortgage
or (B) an original recorded Assignment of the Mortgage to the Trustee
and any required intervening Assignments or a copy thereof certified
to be a true and correct copy by the public recording office in
possession of such Assignment; provided, however, that the Trustee
shall not be required to provide a Recordation Report with respect to
the recordation of an Assignment for any Mortgage Loan for which there
has been delivered an Assignment in recordable form pursuant to
Section 2.03(a) hereof unless the Trustee has delivered such
Assignment to the Servicer for recordation, in which case, the Trustee
shall deliver a
-36-
42
Recordation Report as to the status of such Assignment in accordance
with this paragraph commencing in the fourth month following the
delivery of such Assignment to the Servicer for recordation.
(5) Custodians. In lieu of taking possession of the
Trustee Mortgage Loan Files and reviewing such files itself, the
Trustee may, in accordance with Section 8.11 hereof, appoint one or
more Custodians on behalf of the Trust to hold the Trustee Mortgage
Loan Files for a Series on its behalf and to review them as provided
in this Section 2.03. The Company shall, upon notice of the
appointment of a Custodian, deliver or cause to be delivered all
documents to the Custodian that would otherwise be deliverable to the
Trustee. In such event, the Trustee shall obtain from each such
Custodian, within the specified times, the Initial and Final
Certifications and the Recordation Reports with respect to those
Mortgage Loans held and reviewed by such Custodian and may deliver
such Certifications and Reports to the Company and the Servicer in
satisfaction of the Trustee's obligation to prepare such Certification
and Reports. The Trustee shall notify the Custodian of any notices
delivered to the Trustee with respect to those Trustee Mortgage Loan
Files.
(6) Recordation with Respect to Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding any provisions in these Standard Terms to the
contrary, the Company shall cause Assignments of Mortgages to the
Trustee to be prepared and recorded with respect to all Mortgages not
later than one-hundred twenty (120) calendar days following the
Closing Date, which recordation shall be an expense of the Company.
For each Mortgage for which an Assignment of Mortgage is not duly and
timely recorded as provided above, the Company shall repurchase such
Mortgage pursuant to the provisions of 2.06 hereof. As evidence of
recordation, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon, among other
things (i) a certification from a title insurance company, (ii) an
Opinion of Counsel, (iii) a recorded Assignment or (iv) a clerk's
receipt as to the recordation of any or all of the Assignments.
SECTION 2.04. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE TRUSTEE.
As of the Closing Date, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, represents
and warrants that (1) it acquired the Assets on behalf of the Trust from the
Company in good faith, for value, and without notice or knowledge of any
adverse claim, lien, charge, encumbrance or security interest (including,
without limitation, federal tax liens or liens arising under ERISA), (2) except
as permitted in the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement and these Standard
Terms, it has not and will not, in its capacity as Trustee hereunder, assert
any claim or interest in the Assets, and (3) it has not knowingly encumbered or
transferred its right, title or interest in the Assets. The representations
and warranties made hereunder are made by the Trustee without any independent
investigation and without recourse, representation or warranty, except that the
Trustee believes such representations and warranties to be true.
-37-
43
SECTION 2.05. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AS TO ASSETS.
The Company represents and warrants to the Trustee and the related
Trust, effective as of the Closing Date, that the following information is true
and correct in all material respects:
(a) The information pertaining to each Asset set forth in the
Asset Schedule was true and correct at the date or dates respecting which such
information was furnished.
(b) The Company is the owner of, or holder of a perfected first
priority security interest in, each Asset.
(c) The Company acquired its ownership of, or security interest
in, each such Asset in good faith without notice of any adverse claim.
(d) Except for the sale to the Trust the Company has not assigned
any interest or participation in each such Asset (or, if any such interest or
participation has been assigned, it has been released).
(e) The Company has full right to sell the Trust Estate to the
Trust.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in this Section 2.05 shall survive delivery of the respective
Contract Files to the Servicer as custodian for the Trustee and of the
respective Trustee Mortgage Loan Files to the Trustee or its Custodian and
shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee notwithstanding any restrictive or
qualified endorsement or assignment. Upon the discovery by the Company, the
Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and
warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
to the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. It is understood
and agreed that the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 2.06 to
cure, substitute for or repurchase a Contract constitute the sole remedies
available to the Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf
respecting a breach of the representations and warranties contained in this
Section 2.05. It is further understood and agreed that the Company shall be
deemed not to have made the representations and warranties in this Section 2.05
with respect to, and to the extent of, representations and warranties made, as
to the matters covered in this Section 2.05, by the Seller in the related Sales
Agreement assigned to the Trustee.
SECTION 2.06. PURCHASE OR SUBSTITUTION OF CERTAIN ASSETS.
(a) Breaches of Representations and Warranties and Incomplete or
Defective Asset Files.
(1) Seller Breach. Upon discovery or receipt of notice
of any defective document in an Asset File, or of any breach by the
Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder or under
the Sales Agreement, which defect or breach materially and adversely
affects the value of any Asset or the interest of the Trust therein
(it being
-38-
44
understood that any such defect or breach shall be deemed to have
materially and adversely affected the value of the related Asset or
the interest of the Trust therein if the Trust incurs a loss as a
result of such defect or breach), the Trustee shall promptly notify
the Servicer of such defect or breach and direct the Servicer to
request the Seller of such Asset to cure such defect or breach. The
Seller must cure such defect or breach, or purchase such Asset from
the Trustee on behalf of the related Trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, within 90 days after the date on which the Seller
was notified of such defect or breach. In lieu of purchasing any such
Asset as provided above, if so provided in the related Sales
Agreement, the Seller may cause such Asset to be removed from the
Trust (in which case it shall become a Replaced Asset) and substitute
one or more Qualified Substitute Assets in the manner and subject to
the limitations set forth in Section 2.06(g) below. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, however, if such breach is a Qualification Defect and
one or more REMIC elections have been made with respect to the related
Trust, such cure, purchase or substitution must take place within 75
days of the Defect Discovery Date. It is understood and agreed that
enforcement of the obligation of the Seller to cure or to purchase (or
to substitute for) any Asset as to which a material defect in a
constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred
and is continuing, shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such
defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. The Servicer shall use its best efforts to
enforce the Seller's obligations under its Sales Agreement to
repurchase or substitute for Assets affected by breaches of the
Seller's representations and warranties contained in its Sales
Agreement.
(2) Servicer Breach. In addition to taking any action
required pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof, upon discovery or notice of
any breach by the Servicer of any representation, warranty or covenant
hereunder not covered by Section 2.06(a)(1) above which materially and
adversely affects the value of any Asset or the interest of the Trust
therein (it being understood that any such defect or breach shall be
deemed to have materially and adversely affected the value of the
related Asset or the interest of the Trust therein if the Trust incurs
a loss as a result of such defect or breach), the Trustee promptly
shall notify the Servicer of such breach. Upon receipt of such
notification, the Servicer shall cure such breach or shall purchase
such Asset from the Trustee on behalf of the related Trust within 90
days after the date on which the Servicer was notified of such breach.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if such breach is a
Qualification Defect and one or more REMIC elections have been made
with respect to the related Trust, such cure or purchase must take
place within 75 days of the Defect Discovery Date.
(3) The Company Breach. Within 90 days after the earlier
of discovery or receipt of notice by the Company of the breach of any
of its representations or warranties set forth in Section 2.05 above
with respect to any Asset, which breach materially and adversely
affects the value of the Asset or the interest of the Trust therein
(it being understood that any such breach shall be deemed to have
materially and adversely affected the value of the related Asset or
the interest of the Trust therein if the Trust incurs a loss as a
result of such defect or breach), the Company shall (i) cure such
breach in all material respects, (ii)
-39-
45
purchase the Asset from the Trustee on behalf of the related Trust, or
(iii) remove such Asset from the Trust (in which case it shall become
a Replaced Asset) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute
Assets in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 2.06(g) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if
such breach is a Qualification Defect and one or more REMIC elections
have been made with respect to the related Trust, such cure, purchase
or substitution must take place within 75 days of the Defect Discovery
Date.
(b) Failure to Retitle Manufactured Homes. Upon the occurrence of
either of the following events:
(1) the rendering of judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction that the Trustee on behalf of the Trust does not have a
perfected first-priority security interest in a particular
Manufactured Home because the Seller has not caused notations to be
made on any certificate or other document of title relating to such
Manufactured Home or has not executed any transfer instrument
(including any UCC financing statement or UCC-3 assignment) relating
to such Manufactured Home, or
(2) the Servicer's receipt of written advice of counsel
selected by the Servicer from among the counsel used by the Servicer
in the ordinary course of its business to the effect that a court of
competent jurisdiction sitting in a jurisdiction in which some of the
Manufactured Homes underlying the Contracts are located has held that,
solely because of the failure of a pledgor or assignor of manufactured
housing contracts (whose pledgee or assignee has perfected its
security interest in such contracts) to cause notations to be made on
any certificate or other document of title relating to a manufactured
home underlying the pledged contracts or to execute any transfer
instrument (including any UCC financing statement or UCC-3 assignment)
relating to any such manufactured home, a perfected first-priority
security interest was not created in a manufactured home underlying
such contracts located in such jurisdiction in favor of the pledgee or
assignee,
then the Servicer, at the expense of the Seller, must complete all appropriate
remedial action with respect to the affected Manufactured Home(s) within 180
days after the Servicer's receipt of written notice of such judgment or of such
written advice and provide notice to the Trustee of such remedial action. If
the Servicer fails to complete all such remedial action with respect to any
affected Manufactured Home within such 180-day period, the Seller must
repurchase each related Contract at the Repurchase Price therefor on or before
the last Business Day of the Prepayment Period ending on or immediately after
the expiration of such 180-day period in accordance with Section 2.06(f) below.
In connection with the foregoing obligation, the Servicer shall have
no obligation on an ongoing basis to seek any advice of counsel with respect to
the matters described in clause (2) of the preceding paragraph. However, the
Servicer shall seek advice with respect to such matters whenever
-40-
46
information comes to the attention of any of its executive officers which
causes such executive officer to determine that a holding of the type described
in such clause (2) might exist.
(c) Assignment Failure. If an Assignment to the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust of the Seller's interest in a Mortgage securing a Mortgage Loan
has not been recorded within one year after the Closing Date for the related
Series of Certificates (or in the case of Mortgage Loans for which recordation
of an Assignment was initially waived but subsequently required pursuant to
Section 2.03(a) hereof, within one year after the Trustee's delivery of the
Assignment to the Servicer for recordation), (1) the Seller shall purchase the
related Mortgage Loan from the Trustee or (2) if there have been no defaults in
the Monthly Payments on such Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall deposit an amount
equal to the Repurchase Price therefor into an escrow account maintained by the
Trustee (which account shall not be an asset of the Trust or any REMIC), or
shall enforce the related Seller's obligation under its Sales Agreement to make
such purchase or deposit. Any such amounts deposited to an escrow account,
plus any earnings thereon, shall (A) be released to the Seller, as the case may
be, upon receipt by the Trustee of satisfactory evidence that the Assignment
has been recorded in the name of the Trustee or (B) be applied to purchase the
related Mortgage Loan in the event that the Servicer notifies the Trustee that
there has been a default thereon. Any amounts in the escrow account may be
invested in Eligible Investments at the written direction of the Seller.
(d) Optional Purchase by Servicer of Defaulted Contracts. At any
time after a Contract has become and remains a Defaulted Contract, the Servicer
may, at its option, purchase such Defaulted Contract from the Trust at the
Repurchase Price therefor in accordance with Section 2.06(e) below.
(e) Manner of Repurchase. Any Asset purchased pursuant to Section
2.06(a), (b), (c) or (d) hereof shall be purchased at the Repurchase Price for
such Asset. The Seller, the Company or the Servicer, as appropriate (any of
the foregoing, a "Repurchaser"), shall deposit into the Certificate Account, on
the date of purchase, the Repurchase Price for each Asset to be purchased.
Upon such deposit and upon being provided by the Repurchaser with appropriate
instruments of transfer or assignment, the Trustee shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse,
representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in the Repurchaser
any Asset purchased hereunder, and the Trustee shall deliver to the Repurchaser
any Asset Documents relating to the repurchased Asset that are in the Trustee's
possession, whereupon the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with
regard to such Asset. If a Repurchaser shall, in accordance with the
foregoing, purchase any Asset required by it to be purchased, neither the
Trustee nor any Certificateholder shall have any other remedy against such
Repurchaser based on any misrepresentation or breach of covenant or warranty of
such Repurchaser with respect to or resulting from any such Asset.
The Servicer will be responsible for determining the Repurchase Price
for any Asset (and the related Basis Limit Amount for any Converted Loan) to be
repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.06 and shall certify such amounts to the
Trustee at the time of any such purchase. If, for whatever reason, the
Servicer shall certify to the Trustee that there is a miscalculation of the
amount to be paid
-41-
47
to the Trust, the Trustee shall from monies in the Distribution Account return
any overpayment that the Trust received as a result of such miscalculation to
the applicable Repurchaser upon the discovery of such overpayment, and the
Servicer shall collect from the applicable Repurchaser for payment to the
Trustee any underpayment that resulted from such miscalculation upon the
discovery of such underpayment. Recovery may be made either directly or by
set-off of all or any part of such underpayment against amounts owed by the
Trust to such Repurchaser.
(f) Manner of Substitution. Unless otherwise provided in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the right to substitute a Qualified Substitute
Asset for any Replaced Asset that is an asset of the Trust shall be limited to
(1) in the case of substitutions pursuant to Section 2.06(a) or 2.06(c), the
two-year period beginning on the Closing Date and (2) in the case of any other
substitution, the three-month period beginning on the Closing Date.
As to any Replaced Asset for which the Company or the Seller
substitutes a Qualified Substitute Asset or Assets, the Company or the Seller,
as the case may be, shall effect such substitution by delivering to the Trustee
for such Qualified Substitute Asset or Assets a complete Contract File or
Trustee Mortgage Loan File, as appropriate, together with an Officer's
Certificate of the Company or the Seller, as the case may be, to the effect
that each such Qualified Substitute Asset complies with the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Monthly Payments due with respect to
Qualified Substitute Assets in the month of substitution are not part of the
Trust and will be retained by the Company or the Seller, as the case may be.
For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect
the Monthly Payment due on such Replaced Asset during the month in which the
substitution occurs, and the Company or the Seller, as the case may be, shall
thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect
of such Replaced Asset. The Servicer shall amend the Asset Schedule to reflect
the removal of such Replaced Asset from the terms of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Asset or Assets.
Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Asset or Assets shall be
subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in all respects,
including, in the case of a substitution effected by the Seller, the
representations and warranties included in the related Sales Agreement, and in
the case of a substitution effected by the Company, the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 2.05 above, in each case as of the date of
substitution. The Trustee shall, within five Business Days of its receipt of
the documents referred to above, effect the reconveyance of such Replaced Asset
to the Company or the Seller, as the case may be, in accordance with the
procedures specified above.
For any month in which the Company or the Seller substitutes one or
more Qualified Substitute Assets for one or more Replaced Assets, the Servicer
will determine and notify the Trustee with respect to the amount (if any) by
which the aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance of all such Qualified Substitute
Assets as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Unpaid
Principal Balance of all such Replaced Assets (after application of Monthly
Payments due in the month of substitution) (the "Substitution Shortfall"). On
the date of such substitution, the Company or the Seller, as the case may be,
will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for deposit from its own
funds into the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Substitution
Shortfall.
-42-
48
(g) Qualification Defect. If any Person required to cure,
purchase, or substitute under Section 2.06(a) above for an Asset affected by a
Qualification Defect fails to perform within the time limit set forth in those
subsections, the Trustee shall dispose of such an Asset in such manner and for
such price as the Servicer advises the Trustee are appropriate, provided that
the removal of such Asset occurs no later than the 90th day from the Defect
Discovery Date. It is the express intent of the parties that an Asset affected
by a Qualification Defect be removed from the Trust before the 90th day from
the Defect Discovery Date so that the related REMIC or Pooling REMIC will
continue to qualify as a REMIC. Accordingly, the Trustee is not required to
sell an affected Asset for its fair market value nor shall the Trustee be
required to make up any shortfall resulting from the sale of such Asset. The
person failing to perform under Section 2.06(a) above shall be liable to the
Trust for (1) any difference between (A) the Unpaid Principal Balance plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Asset Rate to the date of
disposition and (B) the net amount received by the Trustee from the disposition
(after the payment of related expenses), (2) interest on such difference at the
Asset Rate from the date of disposition to the date of payment and (3) any
legal and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Trust in seeking such
payments. Except where the Servicer is the person failing to perform, the
Servicer shall pursue the legal remedies of the Trust on the Trust's behalf and
the Trust shall reimburse the Servicer for any legal or other expenses of the
Servicer related to such pursuit not recovered from such person. If the
Servicer is the person failing to perform, the Trustee shall pursue the Trust's
legal remedies against the Servicer and the Trust shall reimburse the Trustee
for its related legal or other expenses.
(h) Notices. The Company or Seller, as the case may be, upon
becoming aware of such breach, will promptly notify the Trustee of any breach
referred to in this Section 2.06. Any person required under this Section 2.06
to give notice or to make a request of another person to give notice shall give
such notice or make such request promptly.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION OF TRUSTS AND SERVICING OF THE ASSETS
SECTION 3.01. THE SERVICER.
(a) The Servicer agrees to service the Assets for and on behalf of
the Trust and its successors and assigns, and otherwise to perform and carry
out the duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be performed and
carried out by the Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The
Servicer shall service the Contracts in accordance with the customary and usual
procedures of responsible financial institutions that service manufactured
housing retail installment sales contracts and installment loan agreements for
manufactured housing units located in the jurisdictions in which the
Manufactured Homes are located, except as otherwise expressly provided by the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not
release or waive its right to collect the unpaid principal balance of any
Contract. The Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans (a) generally in
compliance with FNMA standards and (b) in a manner that is
-43-
49
consistent with prudent residential mortgage loan servicing standards generally
accepted within the residential mortgage loan servicing industry. The manner
in which the Servicer services the Assets shall be consistent with the manner
in which the Servicer services all manufactured housing retail installment
sales contracts and residential mortgage loans in its servicing portfolio,
except for any differences specifically required by the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The Servicer shall have full power and authority consistent with
the aforementioned standards, acting alone and/or through agents and designees
as permitted by Section 6.07 hereof, to do any and all things it may deem
necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration;
provided, however, that to the extent the Servicer is prohibited by any
applicable rule, regulation, judicial or administrative determination or other
order applicable to it from carrying out any of its obligations or duties
provided for herein or in any document contemplated herein, such failure shall
not constitute a breach of this Agreement.
(b) The Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements with
subservicers for the servicing and administration of all or part of the Assets.
References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in
servicing the Assets include actions taken or to be taken by a subservicer on
behalf of the Servicer. Each subservicing agreement will be upon such terms
and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Servicer
and the subservicer have agreed. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee in
writing promptly upon the appointment of any subservicer. For purposes of this
Agreement, the receipt by the subservicer of any amount with respect to a
Mortgage Loan or Contract (other than amounts representing servicing
compensation or reimbursement for an advance) shall be treated as the receipt
by the Servicer of such amount.
As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the
obligations of each subservicer under the related subservicing agreement. Such
enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims,
termination of subservicing agreements as appropriate, and the pursuit of other
remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such
time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were
it the owner of the related Assets. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such
enforcement at its own expense but shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a
general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent, if any,
that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Assets or
(ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the
party against whom such enforcement is directed.
The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any subservicing agreement
that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such subservicing
agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement and shall
provide the Trustee with prompt written notice of such termination.
Notwithstanding any subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of
this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and
a subservicer or reference to actions taken through a subservicer or otherwise,
the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trust, the Trustee and
Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Assets in
accordance
-44-
50
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 Assets. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any
agreement with a subservicer for indemnification of the Servicer and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
Any subservicing agreement that may be entered into and any other
transactions or services relating to the Assets 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. The Servicer shall be
solely liable for any fees payable to a subservicer.
If the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer
hereunder, the Servicer shall thereupon terminate each subservicing agreement
that may have been entered into and the Trustee, its designee or the successor
servicer shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the Servicer's interest
therein or to have replaced the Servicer as a party to any such subservicing
agreement.
SECTION 3.02. MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS; INSPECTION OF ASSET FILES.
(a) The Servicer shall retain all data relating directly to or
maintained in connection with the servicing of the Assets for any Series at the
address of the Servicer set forth in Section 11.04 hereof or at such other
place where the servicing offices of the Servicer are located.
The Servicer shall permit the Trustee or any authorized agent of the
Trustee reasonable access, upon reasonable prior written notice to the
Servicer, during the Servicer's normal business hours, to the Asset Files, the
Servicer Files, and the Servicer's other records, if any, relating to the
Assets for any related Series. Any such examination of such files or records
will be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the
Servicer's normal operations or customer or employee relations. Without
otherwise limiting the scope of the examination the Trustee may make, the
Trustee or its authorized agents, using generally accepted audit procedures,
may in their discretion verify the status of each Asset and review the records
relating thereto for conformity to Remittance Reports prepared pursuant to
Article IV hereof and compliance with the standards represented to exist as to
each Asset in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(b) At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall keep
available a copy of the Asset Schedule at its principal executive office for
inspection by Certificateholders.
(c) On or before the date of the Servicer's delivery of the
Remittance Report to the Trustee in any month, the Servicer will, upon the
written request of the Trustee, provide to the Trustee a list of outstanding
Assets, setting forth the Scheduled Principal Balance of each such Asset as of
the preceding Distribution Date.
-45-
51
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.02, the
Trustee shall at no time have any duty or obligation to examine any records of
the Servicer or to recalculate or otherwise verify the accuracy of any
certificate or report prepared by the Servicer, and no implied duty to do so
shall be asserted against the Trustee.
(e) On or before the Closing Date for a Series, the Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee a list of Officers of the Servicer (each a "Servicing
Officer") involved in, or responsible for, the administration and servicing of
the Assets underlying such Series, which list shall be amended from time to
time as necessary by the Servicer by delivery of an amended list of Servicing
Officers to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.03. COLLECTION OF PAYMENTS ON ASSETS; SERVICING DELINQUENT
ACCOUNTS.
Continuously from the Cut-off Date until the earliest to occur of the
following with respect to each Asset sold to the Trust in connection with the
issuance of the Certificates: (i) the principal and interest on such Asset
are paid in full, (ii) such Asset is foreclosed and the related Manufactured
Home or Mortgaged Property is liquidated pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof, (iii)
all of the proceeds of a liquidating claim under the Standard Hazard Insurance
Policy relating to such Asset have been deposited to the Certificate Account,
or (iv) the Liquidation Proceeds relating to such Asset have been deposited to
the Certificate Account, the Servicer will proceed diligently and in a manner
consistent with its standards for servicing Assets described in Section 3.01
above, to collect all payments due under each Asset when such payments become
due and payable and to apply such payments in accordance with Sections 3.05,
3.06 and 3.07 hereof.
SECTION 3.04. ADVANCES.
(a) Servicing Advances. If any Obligor is in default in the
payment of premiums on its Standard Hazard Insurance Policy or Policies, the
Servicer may pay such premiums or taxes out of its own funds. If any Obligor
is in default in the payment of premiums on its Standard Hazard Insurance
Policy or Policies and coverage is not provided in respect of the related Asset
under a blanket policy maintained by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.16(a)
below, or if any Obligor is in default in the payment of personal property
taxes or real estate taxes due in respect of its Manufactured Home or Mortgaged
Property, the Servicer shall pay such premiums or taxes out of its own funds in
a timely manner, as Servicing Advances, unless the Servicer, in its reasonable
judgment, determines that any such Servicing Advance would be a Non-
Recoverable Advance. In addition, the Servicer shall pay in a timely manner,
as Servicing Advances, any and all personal property taxes and real estate
taxes due in respect of any Repo Property or REO Property it holds on behalf of
the Trust and all premiums for any Standard Hazard Insurance Policy maintained
for such Repo Property or REO Property (except as similar coverage may be
provided under a blanket policy maintained by the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.16 below) unless the Servicer, in its reasonable judgment, determines that
any such Servicing Advance would be a Xxx-Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx.
-00-
00
(x) X&X Advances. If any Obligor fails to make a Monthly Payment
by the related Remittance Date, the Servicer shall deposit such amount in the
Distribution Account on or before such Remittance Date, as a "P&I Advance,"
unless the Servicer, in its reasonable judgment, determines that any such P&I
Advance would be a Non-Recoverable Advance, or such Monthly Payment can be
offset by Early Payments, as provided in Section 3.07(c) hereof. In addition,
if the Certificate Account is maintained with the Trustee, the Servicer may
instruct the Trustee to use any investment earnings on such account to defray
its P&I Advance obligation, and the Trustee shall honor any such instructions
(including standing instructions).
(c) Recovery of Advances. The Servicer shall be entitled to
reimbursement for any Advances made by it in respect of any Asset out of late
collections from the related Obligor or from Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or a Repurchase Price recovered by it in respect of such Asset
("Related Proceeds") and shall be entitled to reimburse itself for unreimbursed
Advances made that have become Non-Recoverable Advances in accordance with
Section 3.07(a)(1) below.
(d) Non-Recoverable Advances. If the Servicer does not make an
Advance on the grounds that it is a Non-Recoverable Advance, or if an Advance
previously made by the Servicer is determined by the Servicer to have become a
Non-Recoverable Advance, then the Servicer shall provide the Trustee with an
Officer's Certificate stating this fact and stating the basis upon which the
Servicer determined that such Advance would be or was a Non-Recoverable
Advance. The Trustee shall not be responsible for determining whether any such
determination was reasonable.
SECTION 3.05. [RESERVED]
SECTION 3.06. CERTIFICATE ACCOUNT.
(a) On or before the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish a
collection account or accounts (the "Certificate Account"), which must be an
Eligible Account. The Certificate Account is to be held by or for the benefit
of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, and shall be either in the
Trustee's name or designated in a manner that reflects the custodial nature of
the account and that all funds in such account are held for the benefit of the
Trustee. The Trustee shall use a segregated Certificate Account for each
Series of Certificates, and the Servicer shall cause separate accounting and
records to be maintained with respect to each separate Series.
(b) The Servicer shall deposit into the appropriate Certificate
Account on a daily basis, and in no event later than two Business Days
following receipt thereof, all payments and collections received by it on each
Outstanding Asset on or after the effective date of the related Pooling and
Servicing Agreement (including: (1) all Obligor payments in respect of
principal, including principal prepayments, on the Contracts and Mortgage
Loans; (2) all Obligor payments in respect of interest on the Contracts and
Mortgage Loans, together with moneys transferred from any Buy-Down Fund or GPM
Fund; (3) all Net Liquidation Proceeds received and retained in connection with
the
-47-
53
liquidation or disposition of defaulted Contracts, Mortgage Loans or property
acquired in respect thereof through repossession, foreclosure or otherwise; (4)
all proceeds received under any title, hazard or other insurance policy
covering any Contract or Mortgage Loan, other than proceeds received as part of
Liquidation Proceeds or such proceeds that are to be applied to the restoration
or repair of the related Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property or released to
the Obligor; (5) any condemnation awards or settlements which are not released
to Obligors in accordance with normal servicing procedures; (6) all amounts
received from credit enhancement provided with respect to a Series of
Certificates; (7) all proceeds of any Contract or Mortgage Loan (or property
acquired in respect thereof) that is repurchased by the related Seller or by a
terminating party; and (8) all amounts, if any, required to be transferred to
the Certificate Account from a Reserve Fund pursuant to the Agreement, but
excluding any prepayment fees, assumption fees or any fees imposed in
connection with the replacement by such Obligors or the related standard Hazard
Insurance Policy), except amounts collected in respect of Monthly Payments due
prior to the Cut-off Date. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall
deposit into the Certificate Account all installments of principal and interest
due on the Assets on or after the Cut-off Date and received by the Servicer
prior to the Closing Date, plus each Principal Prepayment of any Asset
(including any related payment of interest) received by the Servicer on or
after the Cut-off Date but prior to the Closing Date.
(c) Amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account shall be
invested at the written direction of the Servicer in Eligible Investments, and
earnings on amounts deposited in such account shall be credited to the account
of the Servicer as servicing compensation in addition to the Servicing Fee and
shall offset P&I Advances due from the Servicer in respect of the Distribution
Date next succeeding the date on which such earnings were made or, in the
alternative at the Servicer's option, may be released to the Servicer on such
Distribution Date. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such
investments shall be deposited in the Certificate Account by the Servicer out
of its own funds immediately upon realization of any such losses.
SECTION 3.07. WITHDRAWALS FROM CERTIFICATE ACCOUNT; REMITTANCE AMOUNTS.
(a) Withdrawals from Certificate Account. The Servicer may direct
the Trustee in writing (by delivering each Remittance Report) to withdraw
funds on deposit in the Certificate Account for the following purposes:
(1) to reimburse itself for any Advances previously made
by the Servicer, which Advances remain unreimbursed to the Servicer,
out of Related Proceeds or, if such Advances have been determined by
the Servicer to have become Non-Recoverable Advances, out of any funds
on deposit in the Certificate Account;
(2) to pay any Servicing Fees and other servicing
compensation provided for herein due to the Servicer; provided,
however, that if BCI is the Servicer and a Servicing Fee Event is not
in effect, it shall only be entitled to withdraw its Servicing Fee in
respect of any Distribution Date from the Certificate Account in
accordance with this clause to the extent
-48-
54
the amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account and attributable to
the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date exceed
the sum of all amounts to be distributed on the Certificates of the
related Series on such Distribution Date prior to the distribution to
BCI of its Servicing Fees as described in the related Pooling and
Servicing Agreement in the Section thereof entitled "Distributions";
and
(3) to enable the Servicer to remit the Remittance Amount
to the Trustee on each Remittance Date, as described in Section
3.07(b) below.
(b) Remittance Dates. On or prior to the Remittance Date for any
Distribution Date, the Servicer shall remit the Remittance Amount for such
Distribution Date to the Trustee, from and to the extent of the funds in the
Certificate Account, plus all required P&I Advances, by wire transfer or
otherwise, in immediately available funds, for deposit into the Distribution
Account. If the Certificate Account is maintained by the Trustee, on each
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee as to the amount of the
related Remittance Amount and the amount of all required P&I Advances to be
covered by investment earnings on the Certificate Account, and the Trustee
shall transfer such amount from the Certificate Account to the Distribution
Account on the related Distribution Date. In such event, the Servicer shall
still remit any P&I Advances not covered by investment earnings on the
Certificate Account to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account on
the Remittance Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Terminating Purchase is to be made
on such Distribution Date, and the Servicer shall have received the Termination
Price or shall be the Terminator, the Servicer shall remit the Termination
Price rather than the Remittance Amount to the Trustee for deposit into the
Distribution Account.
(c) Treatment of Early Payments. Early Payments received by the
Servicer shall be retained in the Certificate Account and transferred to the
Distribution Account when and as if such Early Payments had otherwise been
received by the Servicer as scheduled payments under the Assets. However,
Early Payments on any Assets for a Series on deposit in the Certificate Account
that are not yet due to be passed through to Certificateholders on any
Distribution Date may be remitted to the Distribution Account to offset
delinquencies on other Assets for the same Series. If Early Payments on any
Asset are used to offset delinquencies on other Assets, subsequent late
recoveries of such delinquent amounts on such other Assets shall be treated by
the Servicer as a restoration of the Early Payments used to offset such
delinquent amounts and shall be deposited into the Certificate Account in
accordance with Section 3.06(a) hereof. The Servicer shall maintain records
with respect to its application of Early Payments.
SECTION 3.08. REALIZATION UPON DEFAULTED ASSETS.
(a) The Servicer shall repossess, foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of any Manufactured Home and any related Real
Property and any Mortgaged Property securing an Asset that comes into and
continues in default and as to which no satisfactory
-49-
55
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to
Section 3.03 hereof. In connection with such repossession, foreclosure or
other conversion, the Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it
shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual for
responsible holders of retail installment sales contracts and installment loan
agreements for manufactured housing (in the case of defaulted Contracts) and
for responsible holders of residential, one- to four-family mortgage loans (in
the case of defaulted Mortgage Loans) and as shall be in compliance with all
applicable laws; provided, that such practices and procedures shall be, in all
circumstances, undertaken with a view toward maximizing the amount of principal
and interest recovered on the Assets.
(b) The Servicer may commence and prosecute any Proceedings in
respect of any Asset in default in its own name on behalf of the Trust or, if
the Servicer deems it necessary, in the name of the Trust. If the Servicer
elects to commence a Proceeding to enforce an Asset, the act of commencement
shall be deemed to entail an automatic assignment of the Asset to the Servicer
for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal
proceeding in which the Servicer seeks to collect payments due on any Asset, it
is held that the Servicer lacks standing to enforce an Asset (or otherwise is
not permitted to enforce an Asset) on the grounds that it is not a real party
in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Asset, the Trustee, on behalf
of the Trust, shall take such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce
the Asset, including bringing suit in its name or in the names of the Trust.
Any such action by the Trustee shall be taken at the Servicer's expense, but
such expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) shall be deemed
Liquidation Expenses which the Servicer shall have no obligation to incur to
the extent it makes a good faith determination that such Liquidation Expenses
will not be recoverable out of Liquidation Proceeds of the related Asset.
(c) In seeking to enforce the Assets, the Servicer may exercise
any rights of recourse against guarantors or sureties of any Obligor's
obligations (or against any other third parties against whom any rights of
recourse exist in connection with any Asset).
(d) The Servicer's obligations under this Section are subject to
the proviso that, in the case of damage to a Manufactured Home or a Real
Property or a Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall not be required to expend
its own funds in making Liquidation Expenses to restore such property unless it
shall determine, in its reasonable judgment, (1) that such restoration will
increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Asset, after reimbursement
to the Servicer for such expenses, and (2) that such Liquidation Expenses, if
made, will be recoverable out of Liquidation Proceeds of such Asset. If the
Servicer recovers any Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds in respect of
any Asset, the Servicer may deduct the amount of any Insured Expenses and
unreimbursed Liquidation Expenses incurred by it in respect of such Asset from
such gross Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, respectively, prior to
deposit of such proceeds into the Certificate Account.
(e) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Servicer shall not
repossess, foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of any
Manufactured Home, Real Property or
-50-
56
Mortgaged Property securing an Asset in cases where the Servicer has actual
knowledge that the Manufactured Home, Real Property or Mortgaged Property is
situated on a toxic waste site as determined by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency or other comparable federal or state agency and where, in the
good faith judgment of the Servicer, the liabilities that would be imposed upon
the Trust with respect to such toxic waste site would exceed the Net Liquidation
Proceeds that could be realized upon liquidation of the related Asset. The
Servicer shall have no affirmative duty or obligation to determine whether any
Manufactured Home, Real Property or Mortgaged Property is situated on a toxic
waste site. The Servicer shall not be liable to the holders of any Certificates
if the Servicer forecloses on a Mortgaged Property or Real Property and takes
title to a Mortgaged Property or Real Property that is so contaminated or
effected.
SECTION 3.09. TITLE, CONSERVATION, AND DISPOSITION OF REPO PROPERTY AND REO
PROPERTY.
(a) The Servicer shall maintain, protect, and insure any Repo
Property or REO Property acquired pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof, on behalf
of the Trust, in accordance with standard industry practice solely for the
purpose of its prompt disposition and sale and with a view toward maximizing
the amount of principal and interest recovered on the Assets. During any
period in which the Trust holds a Repo Property or REO Property, the Servicer
shall not (1) lease the Repo Property or REO Property, (2) authorize or permit
any construction on the Repo Property or REO Property, other than the
completion of a building or improvement thereon, and then only if more than 10%
of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before
default on the related Asset became imminent, all within the meaning of section
856(e)(4)(B) of the Code, or (3) allow the Repo Property or REO Property to be
used in any trade or business conducted by the Trust. If one or more REMIC
elections are made with respect to the assets of the Trust, the Servicer shall
use its best efforts to dispose of such Repo Property or REO Property for its
fair market value within 22 months after its acquisition by the Trust pursuant
to the Servicer's ordinary commercial practices. If the Servicer is unable to
sell such Repo Property or REO Property in the course of its ordinary
commercial practices within that 22-month period, the Servicer shall (i)
purchase such Repo Property or REO Property at a price equal to such Repo
Property's or REO Property's fair market value or (ii) auction such Repo
Property or REO Property to the highest bidder in an auction reasonably
designed to produce a fair price (an "Auction") that takes place within one
month after the end of the 22-month period. If the Servicer and the Trustee
either (1) receive an Opinion of Counsel indicating that, under then-current
law, the REMIC may hold Repo Property or REO Property associated with a REMIC
Asset for a period longer than two years without threatening the REMIC status
of any related REMIC or causing the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC or
(2) the Servicer applies for and is granted an extension of such 22-month
period pursuant to Code sections 860G(a)(8) and 856(e)(3) (the applicable
period provided pursuant to such Opinion of Counsel or such Code section being
referred to herein as an "Extended Holding Period"), upon the direction of the
Company or the Trustee, the Servicer shall continue to attempt to sell such
Repo Property or REO Property pursuant to its ordinary commercial practices
until the date two months prior to the expiration of the Extended Holding
Period. If no REMIC election has been made or is to be made with respect to
the assets of the Trust, the 22-month period for disposing of any Repo Property
or REO Property as described in the preceding two sentences shall be an
eleven-month
-51-
57
period. The Servicer shall either sell any Repo Property or REO Property
remaining after such date in an Auction or purchase such Repo Property or REO
Property (at the price set forth in this paragraph) before the end of the
Extended Holding Period. In the event of any such sale of a Repo Property or
REO Property, the Trustee shall, at the written request of the Servicer and
upon being supplied with appropriate forms therefor, within five Business Days
after its receipt of the proceeds of such sale or auction, instruct the
Servicer to release to the purchaser the related Contract File and Servicer
Contract File (in the case of a Repo Property), and the Trustee shall release
to the purchaser the related Trustee Mortgage Loan File and shall instruct the
Servicer to release to the purchaser the related Servicer Mortgage Loan File
(in the case of a Mortgage Loan), and in any event the Trustee shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment provided to it, in each
case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to
vest in the auction purchaser title to the Repo Property or REO Property, and
shall deliver to such purchaser any Asset Documents relating to such Contract
that are in the Trustee's possession, whereupon the Trustee shall have no
further responsibility with regard to any related Asset File or Servicer File.
Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust, shall
provide financing from such Trust to any purchaser of a Repo Property or REO
Property.
(b) In the event that title to any Repo Property or REO Property
is acquired, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee on
behalf of the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Servicer
shall, in accordance with Section 3.09(a), use its reasonable efforts to sell
any Repo Property or REO Property as expeditiously as possible, but in all
events within the time period, and subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 3.09(a) hereof. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such Repo Property or
REO Property, the Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by
the Servicer protect and conserve such Repo Property or REO Property in the
same manner and to such extent as it customarily does in connection with its
own repossessed manufactured homes or mortgaged properties (as applicable),
incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the
Certificateholders.
(c) The Servicer shall deposit all net funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of any Repo Property or REO Property
in the applicable Certificate Account no later than the second Business Day
following receipt of such funds.
(d) The Servicer, upon the final disposition of any Repo Property
or REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement of any related unreimbursed
Advances related to the Asset for such Repo Property or REO Property as well as
any unpaid Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with
the final disposition of such Repo Property or REO Property, the latter in
accordance with the Sections of the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement
that are entitled "Distributions" and "Limited Right of Servicer to Retain
Servicing Fees from Collections."
(e) The final disposition of any Repo Property or REO Property
shall be carried out by the Servicer at the Repo Property's or REO Property's
fair market value under the circumstances existing at the time of disposition
and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer shall deem
-52-
58
necessary or advisable, and as are in accordance with accepted servicing
practices and in accordance with Section 3.09(a) above.
(f) The Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of any
Repo Property or REO Property shall be deposited into the Certificate Account
promptly following receipt of such Liquidation Proceeds and, subject to such
withdrawals as may be permitted by Section 3.07(a) above, shall be transferred
to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.07(b) above.
(g) The Servicer shall prepare and file reports of foreclosure and
abandonment in accordance with section 6050J of the Code.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall not rent, lease, or
otherwise earn income or take any action on behalf of the Trust with respect to
any REO Property that might (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
(ii) result in the receipt by any related REMIC of any "income from
non-permitted assets" within the meaning of section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or
any "net income from foreclosure property" within the meaning of section
860G(c)(2) of the Code, both of which types of income are subject to tax under
the REMIC Provisions, unless the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel at
the Trust's expense (the costs of which shall be recoverable out of the
applicable Certificate Account), to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions
and any relevant proposed legislation, any income generated for any related
REMIC by the REO Property would not result in the imposition of a tax upon such
REMIC.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall
not:
(i) enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with
respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give
rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) permit any amount to be received or accrued under any
New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real
Property;
(iii) authorize or permit any construction on any REO
Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement
thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the construction of
such building or other improvement was completed before default on the
related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of
section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(iv) Directly Operate, or allow any other Person (other
than an Independent Contractor) to Directly Operate, any REO Property
on any date more than 90 days after its acquisition date;
-53-
59
unless, in any such case, the Servicer has requested and received the Opinion
of Counsel described in the preceding sentence, in which case the Servicer may
take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
(i) The Servicer shall not acquire any personal property relating
to any Asset (other than the related Manufactured Home in connection with a
Contract) pursuant to this Section 3.09 unless either:
(1) such personal property is incident to real property
(or to the related Manufactured Home, in the case of a Contract)
(within the meaning of section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by
the Servicer; or
(2) the Servicer shall have requested and received an
Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Trust (recoverable out of
the Certificate Account), to the effect that the holding of such
personal property by the related REMIC will not cause the imposition
of a tax under the REMIC Provisions on any REMIC related to the Trust
or cause any such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificate is outstanding.
SECTION 3.10. FULL PREPAYMENTS AND LIQUIDATIONS; TRUSTEE TO COOPERATE;
RELEASE OF MORTGAGE FILES.
(a) Contracts. The Servicer shall determine when a Contract has
been paid in full. Upon the liquidation of any Contract, the Servicer shall
remit the proceeds thereof to the related Certificate Account in accordance
with Sections 3.05 and 3.06 above.
The Servicer is authorized to execute an instrument in satisfaction of
any Contract that is the subject of a Principal Prepayment in full, final
liquidation or other payment in full (as well as an instrument in satisfaction
of any related Mortgage) and do such other acts and execute such other
documents as the Servicer deems necessary to discharge the Obligor thereunder
and eliminate the security interest in the Manufactured Home and any Real
Property related thereto. Upon the Servicer's request, the Trustee shall, at
the expense of the Servicer, perform such other acts as are reasonably
requested by the Servicer (including, without limitation, the execution of
documents) and otherwise cooperate with the Servicer in enforcement of rights
and remedies with respect to Contracts. No expenses incurred in connection
with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable
to a Certificate Account or Distribution Account.
(b) Mortgage Loans. Upon the liquidation of any Mortgage Loan,
the Servicer shall remit the proceeds thereof to the related Certificate
Account in accordance with Sections 3.05 and 3.06 above and shall deliver to
the Trustee a Request for Release requesting that the Trustee execute such
instrument of release or satisfaction as is necessary to release the related
Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage. The Trustee shall,
within five Business Days of its receipt of such a Request for Release,
release, or cause the Custodian to release, the related Trustee Mortgage
-54-
60
Loan File to the Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to a
Certificate Account or Distribution Account.
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure
of any Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, collection under any Title
Insurance Policy, Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, flood insurance policy or
Standard Hazard Insurance Policy or to effect a partial release of any
Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, the Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee a Request for Release. The Trustee shall, within five
Business Days after its receipt of such Request for Release, release, or cause
the Custodian to release, the related Trustee Mortgage Loan File to the
Servicer. Any such Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return
each and every document previously requested from the Trustee Mortgage Loan
File to the Trustee by the twenty-first day following the release thereof,
unless (a) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds
relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the related Certificate
Account or Distribution Account or the Trustee Mortgage Loan 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 a certificate of the Servicer certifying as to the name and address of
the Person to which such Trustee Mortgage Loan File or such document was
delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of an
Officer's certificate of the Servicer stating that such Mortgage Loan was
liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with
such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the applicable
Certificate Account or the Distribution Account have been so deposited, or that
such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, the Request for Release shall be
released by the Trustee to the Servicer.
(c) Trustee's Execution of Documents in Connection with
Foreclosures. Upon written certification of the Servicer, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver to the Servicer 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 Real Property or to any legal action brought
to obtain judgment against any Obligor on a Mortgage Note, Land Secured
Contract or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any
other remedies or rights provided by such Mortgage Note, Land Secured Contract
or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such
certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be
executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or
pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the related
Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the
foreclosure proceeding or trustee's sale.
SECTION 3.11. MAINTENANCE OF SECURITY INTERESTS AND OTHER LIENS IN
MANUFACTURED HOMES.
At its own expense, the Servicer shall take such steps as are
necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest in the Seller, the
Company or the Trust and the validity of any other lien created by each
Contract in the related Manufactured Home to the extent it receives notice of
sale or reregistration of such Manufactured Home. The Trustee hereby
authorizes the Servicer to take
-55-
61
such steps as are necessary to reperfect such security interest in the event of
the relocation of a Manufactured Home or for any other reason; provided, that
nothing in this Section 3.11 shall be construed to limit the Servicer's
obligations under Section 3.12 below.
SECTION 3.12. DUE-ON-SALE CLAUSES AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENTS.
Upon learning of any conveyance or prospective conveyance of a
Manufactured Home or Real Property securing any Contract or of a Mortgaged
Property securing any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer may exercise its rights,
subject to state law, under any "due-on-sale" clause of the Contract, Mortgage
Note or Mortgage relating to such Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property to
demand immediate payment in full of all amounts due under such Contract or
Mortgage Loan. With respect to Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will exercise such
rights to the extent, under the circumstances, and in the manner in which the
Servicer enforces such clauses with respect to other Mortgage Loans held in its
portfolio, but will not exercise such rights if prohibited by law from doing
so.
If the Servicer determines not to enforce a "due-on-sale" clause with
respect to an Asset, the Servicer will enter into an assumption and/or
modification agreement with the person to whom the Manufactured Home or
Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed in a form
that is customary or appropriate in the Servicer's reasonable business judgment
pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Asset and pursuant to
which, to the extent permitted by applicable law and deemed appropriate by the
Servicer in its reasonable judgment, the original Obligor remains liable on
such Asset; provided, that (a) the Servicer reasonably determines that
permitting such assumption by such person will not increase materially the risk
of nonpayment of amounts due under the related Asset, (b) such action is not
prohibited by law and will not affect adversely or jeopardize any coverage
under any Insurance Policy required to be maintained with respect to such Asset
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (c) neither the Unpaid
Principal Balance nor the Asset Rate of the related Asset may be reduced and
(d) if one or more REMIC elections have been made with respect to the assets of
the Trust, no other material term of the related Asset (including, without
limitation, the amortization schedule or any other term affecting the amount or
timing of payments on such Asset) may be modified without an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that such modification will not be treated, under the REMIC
Provisions, as an acquisition of the modified Asset by the REMIC in exchange
for the unmodified Asset on the date the modification occurs. The Servicer
shall follow its customary underwriting procedures prior to entering into any
such assumption agreement, including, without limitation, a satisfactory credit
review of any Person assuming such Asset.
SECTION 3.13. ANNUAL ACCOUNTANTS' CERTIFICATE; ANNUAL STATEMENT AS TO
COMPLIANCE.
(a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, on or before April
30 of each year, with respect to each Pooling and Servicing Agreement that
the Servicer entered into on or before the preceding December 31, an Officer's
Certificate signed by the President or any Vice President of the Servicer,
dated as of December 31 of the preceding year, stating that (1) a review of the
activities of the Servicer during the preceding 12-month period (or since the
Cut-off Date in the case of the
-56-
62
first such Officer's Certificate relating to any Trust) and of its performance
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has been made under such Officer's
supervision, (2) to the best of such Officer's knowledge, based on such review,
the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the
fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such
Officer and the nature and status thereof and (3) to the best of such Officer's
knowledge, each subservicer has fulfilled its obligations under its
subservicing agreement in all material respects, or if there has been a
material default in the fulfillment of such obligations, specifying such
default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. A copy of
such certificate may be obtained by any other Holder who makes a request in
writing to the Trustee addressed to the Corporate Trust Office.
(b) In addition, on or before April 30 of each year, the Servicer,
at its expense, shall cause a firm of Independent public accountants which is a
member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a
statement, which shall be accompanied with the Officer's Certificate referred
to in subsection (a) above, to each applicable Rating Agency with a copy to the
Trustee to the effect that (1) such firm has audited the financial statements
of the Servicer for the Servicer's most recently ended fiscal year and issued
its report thereon; (2) such audit included tests of the records and documents
relating to manufactured housing installment sale contracts and mortgage loans
serviced by the Servicer for others in accordance with the requirements of the
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, or any successor
program promulgated by the accounting profession ("USAP"); and (3) such other
statements as are contemplated under USAP, including, if called for under USAP,
a statement as to whether the Servicer's management's written assertion to such
firm (which shall be attached to the statement of such firm) that its servicing
during the applicable fiscal year complied with USAP's minimum servicing
standards in all material respects is fairly stated in all material respects.
The audit tests referred to in clause (2) of the preceding sentence shall be
applied to manufactured housing installment sale contracts and mortgage loans
serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or, in the sole
discretion of such firm, manufactured housing installment sale contracts and
mortgage loans serviced under pooling and servicing agreements, trust
agreements or indentures substantially similar to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "Pooling Agreements"). For purposes of
such statement, such firm may assume conclusively that all Pooling Agreements
under which the Servicer is the servicer of manufactured housing installment
sale contracts and mortgage loans for a trustee relating to certificates
evidencing an interest in manufactured housing installment sale contracts and
mortgage loans are substantially similar to one another except for any such
Pooling Agreement which by its terms specifically states otherwise.
SECTION 3.14. SERVICING FEES.
As compensation for the services provided for a Series (including
servicing of the related Assets and administration of the related Trust) and
ordinary expenses incurred by the Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, on each Distribution Date the Servicer shall be entitled to receive
the Servicing Fee. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall perform all of the obligations to be
performed by it under the Pooling
-57-
63
and Servicing Agreement at its expense and without cost or charge to the
Trustee. The Servicer also shall be entitled to additional servicing
compensation as specified in Sections 3.06(c) and 3.15 hereof. Unless
otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for a Series, the
Servicer may retain its Servicing Fee and any other servicing compensation
provided for in such Pooling and Servicing Agreement from gross interest
collections on the related Assets prior to depositing such collections into the
related Certificate Account.
SECTION 3.15. LATE CHARGES; PREPAYMENT FEES OR OTHER CHARGES.
To the extent permitted by law, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and the terms of any Asset, the Servicer may collect and retain as additional
compensation any late charges, extension fees or similar fees provided for in
the Asset.
To the extent reasonable and permitted by the terms of any Asset and
by law, the Servicer may collect from the Obligors, and retain as additional
compensation, prepayment fees, assumption fees or any fees imposed in
connection with the replacement by such Obligor of the related Standard Hazard
Insurance Policy.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Servicer shall not charge or impose upon any Obligor, nor seek
to charge or impose upon any Obligor, or assert a right to receive from any
Obligor, any fee, charge, premium or penalty that, if charged or collected,
would violate or contravene any law, including usury laws, or the terms of the
related Asset.
SECTION 3.16. MAINTENANCE OF STANDARD HAZARD INSURANCE, PRIMARY MORTGAGE
INSURANCE, AND ERRORS AND OMISSIONS COVERAGE.
(a) Standard Hazard Insurance. Except as otherwise provided in
this Section 3.16(a), the Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect to
each Contract and Mortgage Loan and each Repo Property and REO Property one or
more Standard Hazard Insurance Policies that provide, at a minimum, the same
coverage as that provided by a standard form fire and extended coverage
insurance policy that is customary for manufactured housing or residential real
property (as applicable) and which shall include flood insurance coverage
issued by a Qualified Insurer, providing coverage in an amount at least equal
to the lesser of (1) 100% of the replacement value of the related Manufactured
Home or Mortgaged Property and (2) the Unpaid Principal Balance of such
Contract or Mortgage Loan, provided, that with respect to each Repo Property
and REO Property, the amount shall at least equal the lesser of (1) the maximum
insurable value of the related Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property or (2)
the Unpaid Principal Balance under such Contract or Mortgage Loan; provided,
however, that in any event the amount of coverage provided by each Standard
Hazard Insurance Policy must be sufficient to avoid the application of any
co-insurance clause contained therein. As part of its collection
responsibilities, the Servicer shall proceed to collect the premiums due on the
Standard Hazard Insurance Policies from the Obligors in accordance with the
degree of skill and care that is customarily used for such purpose in the
manufactured home
-58-
64
loan servicing industry (in the case of Contracts) and the residential mortgage
loan servicing industry (in the case of Mortgage Loans). Each Standard Hazard
Insurance Policy caused to be maintained by the Servicer shall contain a
standard loss payee clause in favor of the Servicer and its successors and
assigns. Any amounts received under any such policies (other than amounts
applied to restoration or repair or released to the Obligors) shall be
deposited initially into the related Certificate Account and then deposited
into the related Distribution Account pursuant to Sections 3.06 and 3.07
hereof, within the respective time frames specified in such Sections.
In lieu of causing individual Standard Hazard Insurance Policies to be
maintained with respect to each Manufactured Home and Mortgaged Property
pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 3.16, the Servicer may maintain one
or more blanket insurance policies, each issued by a Qualified Insurer,
covering losses on the Obligors' interests in the Assets relating to such
Manufactured Homes and Mortgaged Properties resulting from the absence or
insufficiency of such individual Standard Hazard Insurance Policies. The
Servicer shall pay the premium for any such policy on the basis described
therein and shall pay any deductible amount with respect to claims under such
policy relating to the Assets covered thereby. All amounts collected by the
Servicer under any such blanket policy and any payments by the Servicer of
deductible amounts thereunder, in each case relating to an Asset covered
thereby, shall be deposited initially into the Certificate Account pursuant to
Sections 3.05 and 3.06 hereof (within the respective time frames specified in
such Sections), after payment to (or retention by) the Servicer of all Insured
Expenses and Liquidation Expenses incurred by it with respect to the
Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property to which such recovery relates, as well
as the amount of any Advances made by the Servicer with respect to the related
Asset that have not been reimbursed to the Servicer.
(b) Primary Mortgage Insurance. The Servicer must maintain a
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in full force and effect on each Mortgage
Loan, if any, which is identified in the related Sales Agreement as being
covered by a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. Any such Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy must insure the portion of the Unpaid Principal Balance of the
related Mortgage Loan that exceeds 75% of the value of the related Mortgaged
Property (as set forth in the appraisal obtained in connection with origination
of the Mortgage Loan) (the Mortgaged Property's "Initial Value") unless such
Primary Mortgage Insurance coverage has been waived in writing by the Company
at the time it purchases the Mortgage Loan or such Primary Mortgage Insurance
is canceled under the circumstances described below. If a covered Mortgage
Loan provides for negative amortization or the potential for negative
amortization, the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy must also insure any
increase in the Unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan from the original
principal balance of the related Mortgage Note. In the event that the rating
assigned by any Rating Agency for any of the related Certificates to the
claims-paying ability of any related Mortgage Insurer is reduced subsequent to
the issuance of the related Certificates, the Servicer will use its best
efforts to replace each Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued by the
downgraded Mortgage Insurer with a new Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy issued
by an insurer whose claims- paying ability is acceptable to the Company. The
premium for any replacement policy shall not exceed the premium for any
replaced policy.
-59-
65
The Servicer may cancel the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy
maintained with respect to any Mortgage Loan at the related Mortgagor's request
if the following conditions are met:
(1) The current Mortgage Loan-to-Value Ratio of the
Mortgage Loan must be 80% or less. The current Mortgage Loan-to-Value
Ratio must be calculated by dividing the Unpaid Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loan by the Initial Value of the related Mortgaged
Property; or
(2) After the policy has been in effect for more than two
years, if the Mortgage Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is
75% or less based upon the current fair market value of the related
Mortgaged Property.
The Servicer must take all steps necessary to ensure the payment by
each Mortgage Insurer of the maximum benefits available under the terms of the
related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. The Servicer must work diligently
with the Mortgage Insurer to determine whether such insurer will settle a claim
under a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy by taking title to the related
Mortgaged Property or in some other manner. Upon receipt of any proceeds of a
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Servicer must deposit such proceeds into
the applicable Certificate Account in accordance with Sections 3.05 and 3.06
above.
(c) Errors and Omissions Coverage; Fidelity Bond. The Servicer
shall keep in force throughout the term of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
a policy or policies of insurance issued by a Qualified Insurer covering errors
and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder,
including failure to maintain insurance as required by the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, and a fidelity bond covering the Servicer's performance
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Such policy or policies and bond
shall be in such form and amount as is generally customary among Persons that
service a portfolio of manufactured housing installment sales contracts and
installment loans having an aggregate principal amount of $100 million or more
and which Persons are generally regarded as servicers acceptable to
institutional investors.
SECTION 3.17. ESCROW ACCOUNTS.
The Servicer, either directly or through subservicers, to the extent
permitted by law, may establish and maintain an escrow account (the "Escrow
Account") in which mortgagors under Mortgage Loans may be required to deposit
amounts sufficient to pay taxes, assessments, mortgage insurance premiums and
standard hazard insurance premiums and other comparable items and in which
Obligors under Contracts will be required to deposit amounts sufficient to pay
standard hazard insurance premiums and other comparable items. Withdrawals
from the Escrow Account maintained for mortgagors may be made to effect timely
payment of taxes, assessments, mortgage insurance and hazard insurance, to
refund to mortgagors amounts determined to be overages, to pay interest to
mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account to the extent required by law, to
repair or otherwise protect the related Mortgaged Properties and to clear and
terminate the Escrow Account. The Servicer will be responsible for the
administration of the Escrow Account and will be obligated to
-60-
66
make advances to such account when a deficiency exists therein, so long as it
determines that such advances will be recoverable from the related Obligors or
from Liquidation Proceeds collected with respect to the related Assets. The
Servicer may decline to establish Escrow Accounts with respect to any Contracts
or Mortgage Loans in its discretion.
ARTICLE IV
REMITTANCE AND REPORTING TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS

and of any P&I Advances that will not be made because they are
Non-Recoverable Advances;
(6) the aggregate deposits into the Certificate Account
relating to such Distribution Date and the aggregate withdrawals from
the Certificate Account for each category of withdrawal specified in
Section 3.07(a) hereof relating to such Distribution Date; and

Certificates specified in the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Trustee shall maintain a telephone number which investors may call
to ascertain, on each Distribution Date, the Certificate Principal Balance of
each Class of Certificates and the then-current Pass-Through Rate applicable to
each such Class. Such number for any Series shall initially be as specified in
the Prospectus Supplement for such Series and may only be changed after the
Trustee notes the change in such number in writing on the Remittance Report it
sends to Certificateholders.
Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar
year, the Trustee shall prepare and furnish a statement, from information
provided by the Servicer, containing the information concerning the amount of
distributions of interest and principal on the Regular Certificates and the
amount of distributions on the Residual Certificates, as well as any other
information as may be required by the Code or Regulations and that customarily
would be provided by a Trustee to Certificateholders in order to enable such
Certificateholders to prepare their federal income tax returns, to each Person
who at any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder that
constituted a retail investor or other Certificateholder that requests such
statement, aggregated
-62-
68
for such calendar year or portion thereof during which such Person was a
Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to have been
satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be
provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time
to time are in force.
SECTION 4.02. DISTRIBUTION ACCOUNT.
The Trustee shall establish and maintain a Distribution Account for
the benefit of the Certificateholders and shall deposit therein funds received
with respect to the Remittance Amount for each Distribution Date immediately
upon receipt thereof from the Servicer in accordance with Section 3.07(b)
hereof. The Distribution Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall be
either held in the Trustee's name or designated in a manner that reflects the
custodial nature of the account and that all funds in such account are held in
trust for the benefit of the Trustee.
The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on an
Asset-by-Asset basis, for the purpose of justifying any payment to and from the
Distribution Account.
SECTION 4.03. ALLOCATION OF AVAILABLE DISTRIBUTION AMOUNT.
On each Distribution Date for a Series, the Trustee shall withdraw all
monies on deposit in the related Distribution Account in accordance with the
related Remittance Report and shall distribute such amounts in the following
order of priority:
(1) if BCI is not the Servicer or BCI is the Servicer and
a Servicing Fee Event has occurred, to pay the Servicer its monthly
Servicing Fee, to the extent not previously retained or withdrawn from
the Certificate Account by such Servicer or, if BCI is the Servicer
and a Servicing Fee Event is not in effect, to pay BCI its monthly
Servicing Fee in respect of a Distribution Date, but only to the
extent that the amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account and
attributable to the Available Distribution Amount for such
Distribution Date exceed the sum of all amounts to be distributed on
the Certificates of the related Series on such Distribution Date prior
to the distribution to BCI of its Servicing Fee, as described in the
related Pooling and Servicing Agreement in the Section thereof
entitled "Distributions";
(2) to reimburse the Servicer from any amounts on deposit
in the Distribution Account for any Advance previously made which has
become a Non-Recoverable Advance, or to reimburse the Servicer for any
other Advance out of Related Proceeds on deposit in the Distribution
Account, in either case to the extent not previously retained or
withdrawn from the Certificate Account by the Servicer;
(3) to reimburse the Company or the Servicer for expenses
incurred by or reimbursable to them pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof;
-63-
69
(4) to refund any overpayment of a Repurchase Price for
an Asset pursuant to Section 2.06(f) hereof; and
(5) to distribute to the Certificateholders (or, if more
than one REMIC election has been made with respect to the Trust, to
distribute to the holders of the Regular Interests and the Residual
Interest in the Pooling REMIC), the amount of the Available
Distribution Amount in accordance with the applicable Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 4.04. COMPLIANCE WITH WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTS.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements
respecting payments of interest or principal to the extent of accrued original
issue discount on Certificates to each Holder of such Certificates who (a) is
not a "United States person," within the meaning of Code section 7701(a)(30),
(b) fails to furnish its TIN to the Trustee, (c) furnishes the Trustee an
incorrect TIN, (d) fails to report properly interest and dividends, or (e)
under certain circumstances, fails to provide the Trustee or the
Certificateholder's securities broker with a certified statement, signed under
penalties of perjury, that the TIN provided by such Certificateholder to the
Trustee or such broker is correct and that the Certificateholder is not subject
to backup withholding. The consent of such a Certificateholder shall not be
required for such withholding. In the event the Trustee does withhold the
amount of any otherwise required distribution from interest payments on the
Assets (including principal payments to the extent of accrued original issue
discount) or P&I Advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate with any payment to such
Certificateholders the amount withheld. In addition, if any United States
federal income tax is due at the time a Non-U.S. Person transfers a Residual
Certificate, the Trustee or other Withholding Agent may (1) withhold an amount
equal to the taxes due upon disposition of such Residual Certificate from
future distributions made with respect to such Residual Certificate to the
transferee thereof (after giving effect to the withholding of taxes imposed on
such transferee), and (2) pay the withheld amount to the Internal Revenue
Service unless satisfactory written evidence of payment by the transferor of
the taxes due has been provided to the Trustee or such Withholding Agent.
Moreover, the Trustee or other Withholding Agent may (1) hold distributions on
a Residual Certificate, without interest, pending determination of amounts to
be withheld, (2) withhold other amounts, if any, required to be withheld
pursuant to United States federal income tax law from distributions that
otherwise would be made to such transferee on each Residual Certificate that it
holds, and (3) pay to the Internal Revenue Service all such amounts withheld.
SECTION 4.05. REPORTS OF CERTIFICATE PRINCIPAL BALANCES TO THE CLEARING
AGENCY.
If and for so long as any Certificate is held by the Clearing Agency,
on the second Business Day before each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall
give oral notice to the Clearing Agency (and shall promptly thereafter confirm
in writing) the following: (a) the amount of interest and principal to be
distributed on the Certificates of such Class on the upcoming Distribution
Date, as reported in the related Remittance Report, (b) the Record Date for
such distribution, (c) the Distribution Date
-64-
70
for such distribution and (d) the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of
each Class of Certificates reported pursuant to clause (10) of Section 4.01
hereof in such month.
SECTION 4.06. PREPARATION OF REGULATORY REPORTS.
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) of this
Section 4.06, the Servicer shall prepare or cause to be prepared, on behalf
of the Trust, such supplementary and periodic information, documents and
reports (such information, documents or reports are referred to hereinafter as
"Periodic Reports") as may be required pursuant to Section 12(g) or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
by the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder or as a condition to
approval of any application for relief ("Application for Relief") hereinafter
referred to and, in connection therewith, shall prepare such applications and
requests for exemption and other relief from such provisions as it may deem
appropriate. The Servicer shall be deemed to certify as to each Periodic
Report that it conforms in all material respects to applicable reporting
requirements imposed by the Exchange Act or is otherwise in form and content
appropriate for filing with the Commission. The Servicer is hereby authorized
to and shall execute all such Periodic Reports or Applications for Relief on
the Trustee's behalf and file the same with the Commission and other required
filing offices, if any, on behalf of the Trust.
(b) Within 30 days after the beginning of the first fiscal year of
any Trust during which its obligation to file Periodic Reports pursuant to the
Exchange Act shall have been suspended, the Servicer shall prepare, or cause to
be prepared, a notice on Commission Form 15 ("Form 15") and is hereby
authorized to and shall execute such Form 15 on the related Trustee's behalf;
provided, however, that the Servicer shall be under no obligation to prepare
such notice if the number of Certificateholders exceeds 300. The Servicer
shall file any notice on Form 15 with the Commission in accordance with the
provisions of Rule 15d-6 under the Exchange Act.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Trustee has not assumed, and shall not by its
performance hereunder be deemed to have assumed, any of the duties or
obligations of the Company or any other Person with respect to (1) the
registration of the Certificates pursuant to the Securities Act, (2) the
issuance or sale of the Certificates, or (3) compliance with the provisions of
the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any applicable federal or state
securities or other laws including, without limitation, any requirement to
update the registration statement or prospectus relating to the Certificates in
order to render the same not materially misleading to investors.
(d) In connection with the Servicer's preparation of any Form 15
or of any Periodic Report, the Trustee shall provide it with information which
it may reasonably request concerning the number and identity of the Holders
appearing on the Certificate Register maintained by the Certificate Registrar,
but the Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to provide information which
does not appear on the Certificate Register, including any information
concerning the ownership of Persons for whom a nominee is the Holder of record.

ARTICLE V
THE POOLING INTERESTS AND THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01. POOLING REMIC INTERESTS.
If an election has been made to treat certain assets of the Trust as a
Pooling REMIC, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will set forth the terms of
the Regular Interests and Residual Interest of the Pooling REMIC. Unless
otherwise specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (a) the Pooling
REMIC Regular Interests will be "regular interests" for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions but will not constitute securities or certificates of interest in
the Trust; and (b) the Trustee will be the owner of any such Regular Interests,
which may not be transferred to any person other than a successor trustee
appointed pursuant to Section 8.08 hereof unless the party desiring the
transfer obtains a Special Tax Opinion.
SECTION 5.02. THE CERTIFICATES.
The Certificates shall be designated in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire
beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Estate (or in the Issuing REMIC, if
any). On the Closing Date, unless otherwise specified in the related Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the
Certificates will not be less than the aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance of
the underlying Assets as of the Cut-off Date, after application of principal
payments due on or before such date, whether or not received. The Certificates
will be substantially in the forms annexed to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
the Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered form. Each
Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the related Class.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed and delivered
by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust and the Trustee shall authenticate the
Certificates upon the order of the Company upon receipt by the Trustee of the
Servicer Custodial Certification required by Section 2.02 hereof. The
Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of
the Trust by an authorized Officer of the Trustee. Certificates bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper
Officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices
at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall represent entitlement
to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any
purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement (in the forms of Certificates attached thereto as Exhibits) executed
by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication
shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has
been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates
-66-
72
shall be dated the date of their authentication, except that those Certificates
delivered on the Closing Date may be dated the Accrual Date.
The Trust in issuing the Certificates may use "CUSIP" or "private
placement" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall
indicate the "CUSIP" or "private placement" numbers of the Certificates in
notices of redemption and related materials as a convenience to
Certificateholders; provided that any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed
on the Certificates or as contained in any notice of redemption and related
materials.
SECTION 5.03. BOOK-ENTRY CERTIFICATES.
(a) The Book-Entry Certificates will be represented initially by
one or more certificates registered in the name of CEDE & Co., as nominee of
the Clearing Agency. The Company, the Servicer and the Trustee and its
officers, directors, employees and agents may for all intents and purposes
(including the making of payments on the Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the
Clearing Agency as the authorized representative of the Beneficial Owners of
the Book-Entry Certificates for as long as those Certificates are registered in
the name of the Clearing Agency. The rights of Beneficial Owners of the
Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and
agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Clearing Agency and Clearing
Agency Participants. The Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates
shall not be entitled to certificates for the Book-Entry Certificates as to
which they are the Beneficial Owners, except as provided in subsection (c)
below. Requests and directions from, and votes of, the Clearing Agency, as
Holder, shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Beneficial Owners. Without the consent of the Company, the Servicer
and the Trustee, a Book-Entry Certificate may not be transferred by the
Clearing Agency except to another Clearing Agency that agrees to hold the
Book-Entry Certificate for the account of the respective Clearing Agency
Participants and Beneficial Owners.
(b) Neither the Company, the Servicer nor the Trustee will have
any liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payment made on
account of Beneficial Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates held by the
Clearing Agency, for monitoring or restricting any transfer of beneficial
ownership in a Book-Entry Certificate or for maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to such Beneficial Owners.
(c) The Book-Entry Certificates will be issued in
fully-registered, certificated form to Beneficial Owners of Book-Entry
Certificates or their nominees, rather than to the Clearing Agency or its
nominee, only if (1) the Company advises the Trustee in writing that the
Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities as depository with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates and
the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor within 30 days or (2) the
Company, at its option, elects to terminate the book-entry system operating
through the Clearing Agency. Upon the occurrence of either such event, the
Trustee shall notify the Clearing Agency, which in turn will notify all
Beneficial Owners of Book-Entry Certificates through Clearing
-67-
73
Agency Participants, of the availability of certificated Certificates. Upon
surrender by the Clearing Agency of the certificates representing the
Book-Entry Certificates and receipt of instructions for re-registration, the
Trustee will reissue the Book-Entry Certificates as certificated Certificates
to the Beneficial Owners identified in writing by the Clearing Agency. Such
certificated Certificates shall not constitute Book-Entry Certificates. All
reasonable costs associated with the preparation and delivery of certificated
Certificates shall be borne by the Company.
SECTION 5.04. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES.
The Trustee shall cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust Office a
Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and
of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee
will initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering
Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
If a Person other than the Trustee is appointed by the Trustee as
Certificate Registrar, such Person will give the Trustee prompt written notice
of the location, and any change in the location, of the Certificate Register,
and the Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Certificate Register at all
reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Trustee shall have the
right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Certificate
Registrar by an Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of
the Certificates and the principal amounts and numbers of such Certificates.
Subject to Section 5.05 below, upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at
any other office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose, the
Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of the Certificateholders, each Certificate may be
exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with the same and authorized
denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such
Certificate to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute on
behalf of the Trust and shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates which
the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every
Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so
required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed
by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
-68-
74
All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
destroyed by the Trustee.
The Trustee will (or will cause the Certificate Registrar to) provide
notice to the Trustee of each transfer of a Certificate, and will provide the
Trustee and Servicer with an updated copy of the Certificate Register on
January 1 and July 1 of each year (or at such other time as the Servicer may
request).
SECTION 5.05. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.
(a) Securities Law Compliance. No transfer of any Private
Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act and effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is
made in a transaction that does not require such registration or
qualification. Any Holder of a Private Certificate shall, and, by acceptance
of such Certificate, does agree to, indemnify the Company, the Trustee and the
Servicer against any liability that may result if any transfer of such
Certificates by such Holder is not exempt from registration under the
Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws. Neither the Company, the Trustee
nor the Servicer is obligated to register or qualify any Private Certificate
under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not
otherwise required under these Standard Terms or the related Pooling and
Servicing Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without such
registration or qualification. The Trustee shall not register any transfer of
a Private Certificate (other than a Residual Certificate) unless and until the
prospective transferee provides the Trustee with a Transferee Agreement or, if
the Certificate to be transferred is a Rule 144A Certificate, a Rule 144A
Agreement certifying to facts which, if true, would mean that the proposed
transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and unless and until the
transfer otherwise complies with the provisions of this Section 5.05. If a
proposed transfer does not involve a Rule 144A Certificate or the transferee's
Rule 144A Agreement does not certify to facts which, if true, would mean that
the transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, (i) the Servicer and the
Trustee shall require that the transferor and transferee certify as to the
factual basis for the registration exemption(s) relied upon and (ii) if such
transfer is made within three years after the acquisition thereof by a
non-Affiliate of the Company from the Company or an Affiliate of the Company,
the Servicer or the Trustee may also require an Opinion of Counsel that such
transfer may be made without registration or qualification under the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be
obtained at the expense of the Company, the Trustee or the Servicer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Rule 144A Agreement, Transferee Agreement or
Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the initial transfer of
the Private Certificates and no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in
connection with the transfer of the Private Certificates by a broker or dealer,
if such broker or dealer was the initial transferee.
The Company shall provide to any transferee Holder of a Rule 144A
Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by such Holder
information regarding the related Certificates and the related Assets and such
other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility
set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without
registration
-69-
75
thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption
provided by Rule 144A, upon the request for such information by such Holder.
(b) ERISA Compliance.
(1) Book-Entry Certificates. No transfer of all or any
portion of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates that are ERISA
Restricted Certificates shall be made to a transferee that is a Plan
Investor, and each Beneficial Owner of such a Certificate shall be
deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition of such a
Certificate, that it is not a Plan Investor.
(2) Certificated Certificates. No transfer of all or any
portion of any Class of Certificates that (A) are not Book- Entry
Certificates and (B) are ERISA Restricted Certificates shall be made
unless and until the prospective transferee provides the Trustee and
the Servicer with a properly completed and executed Benefit Plan
Affidavit, together with a Benefit Plan Opinion if required in order
to comply with such Affidavit. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary herein, any purported transfer of such a Certificate to or on
behalf of a Plan Investor without delivery of a Benefit Plan Opinion
shall be null and void.
(c) Residual Certificates. The Trustee shall not register any
transfer of a Residual Certificate (including any beneficial interest therein)
unless it shall have received the written consent of the Servicer. No Residual
Certificate may be transferred to a Disqualified Organization. The Servicer
will not consent to any proposed transfer or sale of a Residual Certificate (1)
to any investor that it knows is a Disqualified Organization or (2) if the
transfer involves less than an entire interest in a Residual Certificate,
unless (A) the interest transferred is an undivided interest or (B) the
transferor or the transferee provides the Servicer with an Opinion of Counsel
obtained at its own expense to the effect that the transfer will not jeopardize
the REMIC status of any REMIC consisting of assets of the Trust. The
Servicer's consent to any transfer is further conditioned upon the Servicer's
receipt from the proposed transferee of (x) a Residual Transferee Agreement,
(y) a Benefit Plan Affidavit, and (z) either (A) if the transferee is a
Non-U.S. Person, an affidavit of the proposed transferee in substantially the
form attached as Exhibit 8-A to Exhibit 8 hereto and a certificate of the
transferor stating whether the Residual Certificate has "tax avoidance
potential" as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-3(a)(2), or (B) if
the transferee is a U.S. Person, an affidavit in substantially the form
attached as Exhibit 8-B to Exhibit 8 hereto. In addition, if a proposed
transfer involves a Private Certificate, the transfer shall be subject to the
additional restrictions set forth in Section 5.05(a) above. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the
initial transfer of the Residual Certificates or their transfer by a broker or
dealer, if such broker or dealer was the initial transferee. Notwithstanding
the fulfillment of the prerequisites described above, the Servicer may withhold
its consent to, or the Trustee may refuse to recognize, a transfer of a
Residual Certificate, but only to the extent necessary to avoid a risk of
disqualification as a REMIC of a REMIC consisting of Trust assets or the
imposition of a tax
-70-
76
upon a REMIC. Any attempted transfer in violation of the foregoing
restrictions shall be null and void and shall not be recognized by the Trustee.
If a tax or a reporting cost is borne by a REMIC consisting of Trust
assets as a result of the transfer of a Residual Certificate or any beneficial
interest therein in violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section,
the transferor shall pay such tax or cost and, if such tax or cost is not so
paid, the Trustee, upon notification from the Servicer, shall pay such tax or
cost or may pay such tax or reporting cost with amounts that otherwise would
have been paid to the transferee of the Residual Certificate (or beneficial
interest therein). In that event, neither the transferee nor the transferor
shall have any right to seek repayment of such amounts from the Company, the
Trustee, the REMIC, the Servicer, or the other Holders of any of the
Certificates, and none of such parties shall have any liability for payment of
any such tax or reporting cost. In the event that a Residual Certificate is
transferred to a Disqualified Organization, the Servicer shall make, or cause
to be made, available the information necessary for the computation of the
excise tax imposed under section 860E(e) of the Code.
SECTION 5.06. ACCRUAL OF INTEREST ON THE CERTIFICATES.
Certificates entitled to receive interest in accordance with the
related Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall accrue interest at the applicable
Pass-Through Rates on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months and on the assumption that each Interest Accrual Period consists of 30
days.
SECTION 5.07. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar receive
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them harmless (the unsecured agreement of an Institutional Holder being
sufficient for such purpose), then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or in
lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of the same Class, tenor and denomination or Percentage Interest.
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar) connected therewith. Every new Certificate issued pursuant to this
Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the
Trust, as if originally issued on the Closing Date, regardless of whether any
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate in lieu of which such new Certificate was
issued shall be found at any time.
-71-
77
SECTION 5.08. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any
Certificate, the Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Servicer or of the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered on the
Certificate Register as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of
receiving distributions on such Certificate and for all other purposes
whatsoever (whether or not such Certificate is overdue), and neither the
Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Servicer or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.09. APPOINTMENT OF PAYING AGENT.
The Trustee, at its own expense, may appoint a Paying Agent approved
by the Company for the purpose of making distributions to Certificateholders.
The Trustee shall cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee
an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such
Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to
Certificateholders in an Eligible Account in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such
Certificateholders. All funds remitted by the Trustee to any such Paying Agent
for the purpose of making distributions shall be paid to Certificateholders on
each Distribution Date and any amounts not so paid shall be returned on such
Distribution Date to the Trustee.

Agreement, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, that any
such successor to the Servicer must agree in writing to be bound by each of the
Servicer's obligations hereunder and that each applicable Rating Agency must
deliver to the Trustee a letter to the effect that such successorship shall not
result in a downgrading of the rating initially assigned by the Rating Agency
to any Class of Certificates as to which the Company has requested a rating
from such Rating Agency.
SECTION 6.05. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY, THE SERVICER AND
OTHERS.
Neither the Company, the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers,
employees or agents of any of the Company or the Servicer shall be under any
liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders and all such Persons shall be
held harmless for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action in good faith pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or for
errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect
any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein
or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Company,
the Servicer and any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of either
the Company or the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind
which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting
any matters arising hereunder. Neither the Company nor the Servicer shall be
under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless
such action is related to its respective duties under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and such action in its opinion does not involve it in any expense or
liability, except as provided in Section 10.01(b) hereof; provided, however,
that the Company or the Servicer may each in its discretion undertake any such
action that it deems necessary or desirable with respect to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties thereto and the
interests of the Certificateholders thereunder if the Certificateholders offer
to the Company or the Servicer, as the case may be, reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred
therein or thereby.

SECTION 6.06. SERVICER RESIGNATION.
The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties imposed
on it under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, except (a) upon appointment of
a successor servicer and receipt by the Trustee of a letter from each
applicable Rating Agency that such a resignation and appointment will not, in
and of itself, result in a downgrading of any rated Certificates or (b) upon
determination by the Servicer's Board of Directors that the performance of its
duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is no longer permissible under
applicable law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the
Servicer shall be evidenced by a resolution of its Board of Directors and an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such
resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer
shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in
accordance with Section 7.02 hereof.
SECTION 6.07. ASSIGNMENT OR DELEGATION OF DUTIES BY THE SERVICER AND THE
COMPANY.
(a) The Servicer may at any time without notice or consent
delegate certain computational, data processing, collection and foreclosure
duties hereunder to any entity. No such delegation shall relieve the Servicer
in any respect of its responsibility with respect to such duties.
(b) Neither the Servicer nor the Company may assign the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or any of its rights, power, duties or obligations
hereunder (except as provided in Section 6.07(a) above), provided that the
Servicer and the Company may assign the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in
connection with a consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease made in
compliance with Section 6.04 hereof.
(c) Except as provided in Sections 6.04 and 6.06 hereof, the
duties and obligations of the Servicer and the Company under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement shall continue until the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
shall have been terminated as provided in Section 9.01 hereof, and shall
survive the exercise by the Trustee of any right or remedy under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, or the enforcement by the Trustee of any provisions of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 6.08. THE COMPANY AND SERVICER MAY OWN CERTIFICATES.
The Company, the Servicer and any Affiliate of the foregoing may in
its individual or any other capacity become the owner or pledgee of
Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Company,
the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Company or the Servicer.
SECTION 6.09. PROTECTION OF TRUST ESTATE.
Except as limited by Section 2.02(c)(2), Section 2.02(c)(3) or Section
2.03(a) above, the Company will execute and deliver from time to time all
amendments to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and all financing statements,
continuation statements, instruments of further assurance
-77-
83
and other instruments necessary or advisable in order to, and will take such
other action as the Trustee deems necessary or advisable in order to:
(a) grant to the Trustee more effectively all or any portion of
the Trust Estate;
(b) preserve and defend the Trust's title to the Trust Estate and
the rights therein of the Trustee and the Holders of Certificates against the
claims of all persons and parties;
(c) maintain or preserve the lien (and the priority thereof)
created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to carry out more effectively
the purposes hereof (including the filing of continuation statements under the
UCC as necessary);
(d) perfect, publish notice of, or protect the validity of any
grant made or to be made pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; or
(e) enforce any of the related Asset Documents.
The Company and the Servicer each hereby designates the Trustee its agent and
attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or
other instrument required pursuant to this Section 6.09; provided, that the
Trustee shall have no duty to determine whether the filing of any financing
statement shall be necessary or to file such statements except upon written
request of the Company or the Servicer. After execution of any continuation
statement or other instrument pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall
deliver such instrument to the Servicer for filing. Promptly after filing any
such instrument or causing any such instrument to be filed, the Servicer shall
deliver an Officer's Certificate, signed by an Officer of the Servicer, to the
Trustee stating that such continuation statement or other instrument has been
filed.
The Company shall pay or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Trust, any
taxes levied on the account of the ownership by the Trust of the related
Assets.
SECTION 6.10. PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS.
The Servicer shall not take any action, and will use its best efforts
not to permit any action to be taken by others, that would release any Person
from any of such Person's covenants or obligations under any of the related
Asset Documents or under any instrument included in the Trust Estate, or that
would result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or
discharge of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any of the related
Asset Documents or any such instrument, except as expressly provided in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement or such Asset Documents or other instrument or
unless such action will not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of
the Certificates.

ARTICLE VII
EVENT OF DEFAULT; TERMINATION OF SERVICING ARRANGEMENTS
SECTION 7.01. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
Any of the following acts or occurrences shall constitute an Event of
Default by the Servicer:
(a) any failure by the Servicer to remit funds in the Certificate
Account to the Distribution Account or to make a required P&I Advance that is
not deemed by the Servicer to be a Non-Recoverable Advance, in either case as
required by Section 3.07(b) hereof, and the continuance of such failure
unremedied for a period of five days after the date upon which such deposit,
payment or remittance was due;
(b) any failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or
perform in any material respect any of the covenants or agreements on the part
of the Servicer (other than covenants referred to in clause (a) above)
contained in the Certificates or in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which
failure continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which
written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Servicer by the Trustee, or to the Servicer and the Trustee
by the Holders of Certificates of a Series entitled to at least 25% of the
related Voting Rights;
(c) the issuance of a decree or order of a court or agency or
supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary
case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar law or appointing a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs,
against the Servicer, and the remaining of such decree or order in force
undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days;
(d) the Servicer's consent to the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of
assets and liabilities, or similar proceedings of, or relating to, the Servicer
or of, or relating to, all or substantially all of the property of the
Servicer; or
(e) the Servicer's (1) admission in writing of its inability to
pay its debts generally as they become due, (2) filing of a petition to take
advantage of, or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency or
reorganization statute, (3) making of an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors, or (4) voluntarily suspending payment of its obligations.
If an Event of Default concerning the Servicer shall occur hereunder,
then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall
not have been remedied or waived, the Trustee may, and at the direction of the
Holders of Certificates evidencing greater than 50% of the Voting Rights,
shall, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer, terminate all of the
rights and
-79-
85
obligations of the Servicer as servicer. On and after the receipt by the
Servicer of any such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer
hereunder, whether with respect to the Certificates (except its rights as a
Holder thereof) or the Contracts or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in
the Trustee or successor servicer pursuant to and under this Section 7.01
(provided, however, that the Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive
all amounts accrued and owing to it as Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement on or prior to the occurrence of a Event of Default specified in
Section 7.01(a) above or, in the case of any other Event of Default, on or
prior to the date of such termination); and, without limitation, the Trustee
hereby is authorized and empowered on behalf of the Servicer, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver any and all documents and
other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary
or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Contracts and
related documents or otherwise.
The Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the
termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder,
including, without limitation, (1) transferring to the Trustee for
administration by it of all cash amounts that shall be held at the time by the
Servicer for deposit, shall have been deposited by the Servicer into the
Servicing Account, the Certificate Account or the Distribution Account, or
shall be received thereafter with respect to a Contract, and (2) the prompt
provision to the Trustee (in no event later than ten Business Days subsequent
to its receipt of such notice of termination) of all documents and records,
electronic and otherwise, reasonably requested by the Trustee or its designee
in order for the Trustee or its designee to assume and carry out the duties and
obligations that otherwise were to have been performed and carried out by the
Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement but for the termination of
the Servicer.
Upon any termination of the Servicer pursuant to this Section, the
Trustee or its designee shall pay over to the Servicer that portion of any
future proceeds of the related Assets that, if it were acting hereunder at such
future time, it would be permitted to retain or withdraw from the Certificate
Account or Distribution Account in consideration of, or in reimbursement for,
previous services performed, or advances made, by it or for other matters for
which it is entitled to reimbursement pursuant hereto or to the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Prior to appointment of any successor
Servicer, the Trustee must notify the Rating Agency in writing of the identity
of such prospective successor.
SECTION 7.02. TRUSTEE TO ACT; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.
On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof or resigns pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof, the
Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity
as servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and in connection with
the transactions provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities placed on the Servicer by the terms
and provisions hereof. As compensation therefor, the Trustee, except as
provided in Section 7.01 hereof, shall be entitled to such compensation
(whether payable out of the Distribution Account or otherwise) as the Servicer
would
-80-
86
have been entitled to receive hereunder if no such notice of termination had
been given, as well as all protections and indemnification afforded the
Servicer pursuant to Section 6.05 above. Notwithstanding the above, the
Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally
unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, any established housing finance institution having a net worth of not
less than $40,000,000 and the regular business of which shall have included,
for at least one year prior to such appointment, the servicing of a portfolio
of manufactured housing receivables of not less than $100,000,000, as the
successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. No
appointment of a successor to the Servicer shall be effective until the
assumption by the successor of all future responsibilities, duties and
liabilities of the Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Pending
appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee is
prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee
shall act as Servicer hereunder as provided above. Notwithstanding any of the
foregoing, the successor Servicer shall not be required to purchase any Assets
from the Trust pursuant to these Standard Terms except (i) under Section
2.06(a)(2) hereof to the extent the obligation to repurchase arose out of a
breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by the successor Servicer and
(ii) under Section 2.06(b) hereof to the extent the Servicer's obligation to
effect remedial action as described in such Section arose after the successor
Servicer began serving as Servicer. It is understood that any predecessor
Servicer shall remain liable for any breaches of representations, warranties
and covenants that it committed while it was the Servicer, and shall remain
responsible for effecting remedial actions described in Section 2.06(b) hereof
(and for repurchasing Assets pursuant to such Section 2.06(b)) to the extent
the obligation to undertake such remedial action arose while such predecessor
Servicer was the Servicer hereunder.
In connection with the appointment of a successor Servicer, the
Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor
servicer out of payments on the related Assets as it and such successor shall
agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that
permitted the Servicer under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Trustee and such successor servicer shall take such action, consistent with
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such succession.
Any successor to the Servicer shall maintain in force during the term
of its service as Servicer the policy or policies that the Servicer is required
to maintain pursuant to Section 3.16(c) hereof.
Upon any Event of Default described hereunder, the Trustee, in
addition to the rights specified in this Section, shall have the right, in its
own name and as "Trustee," to take all actions now or hereafter existing at
law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect
the interests of the Certificateholders, and enforce the rights and remedies of
the Certificateholders (including the institution and prosecution of all
judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of
claim and debt in connection therewith). No remedy provided for by the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and
every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no
delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right
or remedy or shall be deemed
-81-
87
to be a waiver of any Event of Default. Amounts payable to the Trustee to
reimburse it for any expenses it incurs in connection with any actions taken by
it pursuant to this paragraph are intended to constitute administrative
expenses. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Certificateholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Certificates or the rights of any Holder thereof, or
to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Certificateholder in any such Proceeding.
For the purposes of this Section 7.02 and Section 7.03 hereof, the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default or an Event of
Default hereunder unless an Officer of the Trustee having direct responsibility
for the administration of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any Event of Default is received
by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates or the Trust.
SECTION 7.03. NOTIFICATIONS TO SERVICER AND TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS.
(a) Upon obtaining actual knowledge of any Default, the Trustee
shall promptly notify the Servicer and each Certificateholder (at their
respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register) thereof.
(b) Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the
Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall give prompt written
notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses
appearing in the Certificate Register.
(c) As soon as practicable after the Trustee's obtaining knowledge
of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit by
certified mail to all Holders of the Certificates (at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register) notice of such Event of
Default or occurrence known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall
have been cured or waived.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 8.01. DUTIES OF TRUSTEE.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee
shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of his own affairs. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default or
after all Events of Default which may have occurred have been cured or waived,
the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and shall
-82-
88
use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a corporate trustee
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the administration of a
corporate trust agreement.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall examine them to
determine whether they conform to the requirements of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be under no duty to
recalculate, verify or recompute the information provided to it hereunder by
the Company or the Servicer. If any such instrument is found not to conform to
the requirements of the Pooling and Servicing 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 related
Certificateholders.
No provision of the Pooling and Servicing 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:
(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to
the Servicer of which the Trustee has notice or knowledge, and after the curing
or waiver of any such Event of Default, the duties and obligations of the
Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance
of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the
Pooling and Servicing 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 that conform to the
requirements of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
(b) the Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity for
any error of judgment made in good faith by an Officer of the Trustee, unless
it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
facts;
(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
the direction of the Holders of Certificates of a Series entitled to at least
25% of the related Voting Rights 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 the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement;
(d) Any determination of negligence or bad faith of the Trustee
shall be made only upon a finding that there is clear and convincing evidence
(and not upon the mere preponderance of evidence) thereof in a proceeding
before a court of competent jurisdiction in which the Trustee has had an
opportunity to defend; and
-83-
89
(e) in no event shall the Trustee be held liable for the actions
or omissions of the Servicer or the Company (excepting the Trustee's own
actions as Servicer), and in connection with any action or claim or recovery
sought against the Trustee based upon facts involving the acts or omissions of
the Servicer or the Company, or involving any allegation or claim of liability
or recovery against the Trustee by the Servicer or by the Company, the Trustee
shall not be held to a greater standard of care than the Servicer or the
Company would be held in such situation.
Except as specifically required herein, the Trustee shall not be
required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
SECTION 8.02. CERTAIN MATTERS AFFECTING THE TRUSTEE.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01 hereof:
(1) In the absence of bad faith, the Trustee may rely,
and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance
upon, any resolution, 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. Further, the Trustee may accept a copy of the vote
of the Board of Directors of any party certified by its clerk or
assistant clerk or secretary or assistant secretary as conclusive
evidence of the authority of any person to act in accordance with such
vote, and such vote may be considered as in full force and effect
until receipt by the Trustee of written notice to the contrary.
(2) The Trustee may rely, in the absence of bad faith on
its part, upon a certificate of an Officer of the appropriate Person
whenever in the administration of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or
established (unless other evidence be prescribed herein specifically)
prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder.
(3) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written
advice of such counsel or 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 written advice or Opinion of Counsel.
(4) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the trusts or powers vested in it by the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder
or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, unless
-84-
90
such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that
may be incurred therein or thereby.
(5) 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 Holders of Certificates of a
Series entitled to at least 25% of the related Voting Rights;
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, in the opinion of the Trustee,
is not assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the
terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee may require
indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to taking
any such action. The 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.
(6) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys,
custodians or nominees and the Trustee shall not be responsible for
any misconduct or negligence on the part of or for supervision of, any
agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care and in
good faith by it under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(7) Whenever the Trustee is authorized herein to require
acts or documents in addition to those required to be provided it in
respect of any matter, it shall be under no obligation to make any
determination as to whether such additional acts or documents should
be required unless obligated to do so under Section 8.01 hereof.
(8) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or
knowledge of any matter, including, without limitation, any Event of
Default, unless one of its Officers having direct responsibility for
the administration of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has actual
knowledge or record thereof or unless written notice thereof is
received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office and such notice
references the Certificates generally, the Company, the Trust or the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(9) 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 the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(10) The permissive right or authority of the Trustee to
take any action enumerated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
shall not be construed as a duty or obligation.
(11) In the event that the Trustee is also acting as
Custodian, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent or Certificate Registrar
hereunder, the rights and protections afforded to the
-85-
91
Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII shall also be afforded to the
Custodian, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Certificate Registrar.
(12) In no event shall the Trustee be liable for the
selection of Eligible Investments or for investment losses incurred
thereon. The Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses
incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment
prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Servicer to provide
timely written investment direction. The Trustee shall have no
obligation to invest or reinvest any amounts held hereunder in the
absence of written investment direction.
(13) The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the
performance of the Company or the Servicer, nor shall it have any
liability in connection with the malfeasance or nonfeasance by the
Company or the Servicer. The Trustee shall have no liability in
connection with compliance by the Company or the Servicer with
statutory or regulatory requirements related to the Contracts or the
Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall not make or be deemed to have made
any representations or warranties with respect to the Assets or the
validity or sufficiency of any assignment of the Assets to the Trust
or the Trustee.
Certificateholders shall have rights to institute suits, actions or
proceedings in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement only under the circumstances described in the third
paragraph of Section 11.03 hereof.
(b) All rights of action under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
or under any of the Certificates enforceable by the Trustee may be enforced by
it without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof
at the trial or other Proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or
Proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the
benefit of all the Holders of the Certificates, subject to the provisions of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 8.03. TRUSTEE NOT LIABLE FOR CERTIFICATES OR ASSETS.
The recitals contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and in
the Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Trustee
on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Company or the
Servicer and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The
Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the validity or
sufficiency of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of the Certificates
(other than the signature and countersignature of the Trustee on the
Certificates) or of any underlying Asset or related document. The Trustee
shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company 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 underlying
Assets or deposited in or withdrawn from the Servicing Account, the Certificate
Account or the Distribution Account other than any funds held by or on behalf
of the Trustee in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 8.04. TRUSTEE MAY OWN CERTIFICATES.
-86-
92
The Trustee, in its individual capacity or any other capacity, may
become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have
if it were not Trustee.
SECTION 8.05. TRUSTEE'S FEES AND EXPENSES.
The Servicer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time, pursuant to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or a separate fee agreement, 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 created under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties
hereunder of the Trustee, and shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances (other than any expenses incurred by the
Trustee in connection with its assumption of the obligations of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof) incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance
with any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including
but not limited to 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. 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, including reasonable attorney's fees
and expenses, incurred as a result of or in connection with the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or the Certificates, including, but not limited to, any
such loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with any legal action
against the Trust or the Trustee or any director, officer, employee or agent
thereof, or the performance of any of the Trustee's duties under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of
duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Any payment hereunder made by the Servicer to the Trustee shall be from the
Servicer's own funds without any right to reimbursement therefor. The
obligations of the Servicer under this Section 8.05 shall survive the
termination of the Trust and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.
SECTION 8.06. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR TRUSTEE.
The Trustee shall at all times be a corporation or national banking
association that is not an Affiliate of the Company or the Servicer, organized
and doing business under the laws of any state or the United States of America,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 (or qualifying as a
Qualified Bank) and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
regulatory authorities. If such corporation or association publishes reports
of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of conditions 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 immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section
-87-
93
8.07 hereof. The Servicer and the Company may maintain normal banking
relations with the Trustee if the Trustee is a depository.
SECTION 8.07. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE TRUSTEE.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by giving written
notice of such resignation to the Company, the Servicer and to all related
Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company
shall 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 and to the Servicer by the Company. If no successor Trustee
shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after
the resigning Trustee's giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Company, 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 thereof,
then the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint 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 and to the Servicer by the
Company.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may remove the Trustee at any time 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 Company, one complete set to the Trustee so removed
and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument
shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and to the Servicer by the
Company. If the Holders remove the Trustee otherwise than for reasonable cause
based upon the Trustee's failure to continue to meet the eligibility
requirements set forth in Section 8.06 above or the Trustee's failure to
perform its duties as described herein, then the Holders so removing the
Trustee shall bear any and all costs and expenses arising from such removal and
substitution.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not
become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as
provided in Section 8.08 hereof.
-88-
94
SECTION 8.08. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE.
Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 hereof
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company, the Servicer and to its
predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement 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 related Asset Documents and related
documents and statements held by it under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and the Company, the Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments and do such other things as reasonably may 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 8.06 hereof.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in
this Section, the Company shall mail notice of the succession of such Trustee
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to all Holders of the Certificates at
their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Company fails to
mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed
at the expense of the Company.
SECTION 8.09. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF TRUSTEE.
Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or
association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement provided such corporation or association shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, 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. Prior to any such
merger, conversion or consolidation, the Trustee shall notify each applicable
Rating Agency in writing of the pendency of such merger, conversion or
consolidation.
SECTION 8.10. APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE.
For the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction
in which any part of the Trust Estate or property securing the same may be
located at any time, the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee, acting jointly,
shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments necessary to
appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-Trustee or co-
-89-
95
Trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate Trustee or Trustees, of all or
any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity, such title to the Trust Estate or any part thereof, and, subject to
the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations,
rights and trusts as the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee may consider
necessary or desirable. If the Company or the Servicer shall not have joined
in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to
do, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No
co-Trustee or separate Trustee(s) hereunder shall be required to meet the terms
of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 8.06 hereof and no notice
to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-Trustee(s) or separate
Trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-Trustee or separate Trustee
pursuant to this Section 8.10, 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 under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement or as successor to the Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.02 hereof), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or any portion
thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed 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 the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate
Trustee and co-Trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be
vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment,
either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein,
subject to all the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
specifically including every provision of the Pooling and Servicing 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 the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate
Trustee or co-Trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be
removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest
in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor Trustee.
SECTION 8.11. APPOINTMENT OF CUSTODIANS.
The Trustee may on behalf of the Trust, with the consent of the
Servicer, appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the
Trustee Mortgage Loan Files as agent for the Trustee,
-90-
96
by entering into a custodial agreement. The appointment of any Custodian may
at any time be terminated and a substitute Custodian may be appointed. The
Trustee shall terminate the appointment of any Custodian and appoint a
substitute custodian upon the request of the Servicer to the Trustee. Subject
to this Article VIII, the 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. Each Custodian shall be a
depository institution or trust company subject to supervision by federal or
state authority, shall have combined capital and surplus of at least
$10,000,000 and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which
it holds any Trustee Mortgage Loan File. Any such Custodian may not be an
affiliate of the Company or any Seller with respect to the applicable Trust.
SECTION 8.12. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF
CERTIFICATES.
All rights of action and claims under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement or the Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee
without the possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in
any proceeding relating thereto and any such proceeding instituted by the
Trustee shall be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee. Any
recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of
which such judgment has been recovered.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01. TERMINATION UPON REPURCHASE OR LIQUIDATION OF ALL
CONTRACTS.
(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the
Company, the Servicer and the Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement (other than the obligations of the Trustee to make distributions to
Certificateholders, to reimburse the Servicer for outstanding Advances, to pay
the Servicer accrued and previously unpaid Servicing Fees or to provide tax
information as provided in Section 4.01(a) hereof and other than the
obligations of the Servicer under Article X hereof) shall terminate upon
distribution to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of
the Trustee and required hereunder to be so distributed on the Distribution
Date coinciding with or following the earlier to occur of (1) a Terminating
Purchase for an amount equal to the Termination Price and (2) the final payment
or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Asset
remaining in the Trust or the disposition of the last Repo Property or REO
Property remaining in the Trust; provided, however, that in no event shall the
Trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years after the death
of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late
ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date
hereof.
-91-
97
(b) Unless otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Servicer or the Holders of the majority of the Percentage
Interest in the Residual Certificates of a REMIC (or, in the case of a double
REMIC Series, the Pooling REMIC) (the "Residual Majority") may, at their
respective options, make, or cause a Person to make, a Terminating Purchase on
any Distribution Date on or after the earlier to occur of (1) the Servicer's
determination, based upon an Opinion of Counsel, that the REMIC status of any
REMIC related to the Trust has been lost or that a substantial risk exists that
such REMIC status will be lost for the then-current taxable year, or (2) the
Distribution Date on which, after taking into account distributions of
principal to be made on such Distribution Date, the sum of the Certificate
Principal Balances of the Certificates is less than 10% of the sum of the
original Certificate Principal Balances of the Certificates.
(c) The Servicer or the Residual Majority shall notify the Trustee
and the Certificate Registrar in writing of its election to make or to cause a
Terminating Purchase no later than the Distribution Date preceding the
Distribution Date on which the Certificates will be retired as a result of such
Terminating Purchase. The Servicer shall advise the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar of the final payment or other liquidation of the last
Asset remaining in the Trust or the disposition of the last Repo Property or
REO Property remaining in the Trust at least two Business Days prior to the
Remittance Date in the month in which the Trust will terminate as a result
thereof.
Notice of any termination of the Trust shall be given promptly by the
Trustee by letter sent to the Certificateholders by certified mail (1) in the
event such notice is given in connection with a Terminating Purchase, not
earlier than the fifth day of the month preceding the month of such termination
and not later than the first day of the month of such termination or (2)
otherwise not later than the Remittance Date preceding the final Distribution
Date, in each case specifying (A) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust
will terminate and that final payment of the Certificates will be made on such
Distribution Date and (B) the amount of any such final distribution. The
Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such
notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given in
connection with a Terminating Purchase, the Terminator shall deliver to the
Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Terminating Purchase
is to take place an amount in next day funds equal to the Termination Price.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Terminator is the Servicer, the
Terminator, upon notice to the Trustee, shall be entitled to remit the
Termination Price net of amounts owed to the Terminator in respect of
unreimbursed outstanding Advances made by such Terminator or amounts required
to be reimbursed or paid to such Terminator hereunder.
(d) On the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute
to the Certificateholders as of the related Record Date the amount otherwise
distributable on the Certificates on such Distribution Date (if such final
Distribution Date is not the result of a Terminating Purchase).
Upon any termination of the Trust as the result of a Terminating
Purchase, the Trustee shall distribute the Termination Price as though it were
the amount on deposit in the Distribution Account
-92-
98
in accordance with Section 4.03(a) hereof and in accordance with the related
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Following such final distribution, the Servicer and the Trustee shall
promptly release to the Terminator the related Asset Files or portions thereof
in their respective possessions for the remaining Assets, Repo Properties and
REO Properties, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and
other instruments provided to it necessary to effectuate transfer of such Asset
Files to such Terminator, whereupon the Trust shall terminate.
(e) In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not
surrender their Certificates within six months after the date specified in the
above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice
to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates and receive
the final distribution with respect thereto, net of the cost of such second
notice. If within one year after the second notice all the Certificates shall
not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate
steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the
remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and
the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts otherwise payable on such
Certificates. Any funds payable to Certificateholders that are not distributed
on the final Distribution Date shall be deposited in a Termination Account, as
the case may be, each of which shall be an Eligible Account, to be held for the
benefit of Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their
Certificates in the aforesaid manner, and shall be disposed of in accordance
with this Section.
SECTION 9.02. ADDITIONAL TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS.
(a) In the event of a Terminating Purchase as provided in Section
9.01 hereof, the Trust shall be terminated in accordance with the following
additional requirements, unless the Servicer, the Company, and the Trustee
receive (1) a Special Tax Opinion and (2) a Special Tax Consent from each of
the Holders of the Residual Certificates (unless the Special Tax Opinion
specifically provides that no REMIC-level tax will result from such Terminating
Purchase).
(1) Within 90 days prior to the time of the making of the
final payment on the Certificates, the Company on behalf of each
related REMIC shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation meeting the
requirements set forth in the REMIC Provisions for a qualified
liquidation (which plan may be adopted by the Trustee's attachment of
a statement specifying the first day of the 90-day liquidation period
to the REMIC's final federal income tax return) and the REMIC will
sell all of its assets (other than cash).
(2) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
Regular Certificates or the deposit to the Termination Account, the
Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or
credited, pro rata, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates, all
remaining cash on hand relating to the REMIC after such final payment
(other than cash retained to meet claims against the Trust) and the
REMIC shall terminate at that time.
-93-
99
(3) In no event may the final payment on the Regular
Certificates or the final distribution or credit to the Holders of the
Residual Certificates be made after the 90th day after the date on
which the plan of complete liquidation relating thereto is adopted. A
payment into the Termination Account with respect to any Certificate
pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof shall be deemed a final payment on, or
final distribution with respect to, such Certificate for the purposes
of this Section 9.02(a)(3).
(b) By their acceptance of Residual Certificates, the Holders
thereof agree (1) to authorize such action as may be necessary to adopt a plan
of complete liquidation of any related REMIC and (2) to take such action as may
be necessary to adopt a plan of complete liquidation of any related REMIC upon
the written request of the Servicer, which authorization shall be binding upon
all successor Holders of such Residual Certificates.
ARTICLE X
REMIC TAX PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01. REMIC ADMINISTRATION.
Unless otherwise specified in the related Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, an election will be made to treat the Assets and the Distribution
Account underlying a Series as one or more REMICs under the Code. Each Holder
of a Residual Certificate in each REMIC shall, in its Residual Transferee
Agreement, designate the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer, as its
agent, to act as the Tax Matters Person for such REMIC. The Servicer agrees
that it or one of its Affiliates will serve as such Tax Matters Person for each
REMIC, and also will perform various tax administration functions for each
REMIC, as its agent, as set forth in this Section 10.01.
(a) The Trustee shall elect (on behalf of each REMIC to be
created) to have the Trust (or designated assets thereof) treated as a REMIC on
Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the
taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued as well as on any corresponding state tax or
information return necessary to have such assets treated as a REMIC under
relevant state law.
(b) The Servicer shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not
including taxes) of the Trust and each related REMIC, including but not limited
to any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or
judicial proceedings with respect to each such REMIC that involve the Internal
Revenue Service or state tax authorities or related to the adoption of a plan
of complete liquidation.
(c) The Trustee shall prepare any necessary forms for election as
well as all of the Trust's and each related REMIC's federal and state tax and
information returns. The Trustee shall sign and
-94-
100
file such returns on behalf of each such REMIC. The expenses of preparing and
filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee.
(d) The Trustee shall perform all reporting and other tax
compliance duties that are the responsibility of the Trust and the REMIC under
the REMIC Provisions or state or local tax law. Among its other duties, if
required by the REMIC Provisions, the Trustee, acting as agent of the REMIC,
shall provide to the Treasury or to other governmental authorities such
information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the
transfer of a Residual Certificate to any Disqualified Organization.
(e) The Company, the Servicer, the Trustee (to the extent the
Trustee has been instructed by the Company or the Servicer), and the Holders of
Residual Certificates shall take any action or cause each related REMIC to take
any action necessary to create or maintain the status of each such REMIC as a
REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other as necessary to
create or maintain such status.
(f) The Company, the Servicer, the Trustee (to the extent the
Trustee has been instructed by the Company or the Servicer), and the Holders of
the Residual Certificates shall not take any action or fail to take any action,
or cause each related REMIC to take any action or fail to take any action that,
if taken or not taken, could endanger the status of each such REMIC as a REMIC
unless the Trustee and the Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the
expense of the party seeking to take or to omit to take such action) to the
effect that the contemplated action or failure to act will not endanger such
status.
(g) Any taxes that are imposed upon the Trust or any related REMIC
by federal or state (including local) governmental authorities (other than
taxes paid by a party pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof or as provided in the
following sentence) shall be allocated to the Certificates (including, for this
purpose, the regular interests in any Pooling REMIC) in the same manner as
Writedown Amounts are so allocated; provided, however, that if the related
Pooling and Servicing Agreement does not provide for the allocation of
Writedown Amounts, such taxes shall be payable out of the Available
Distribution Amount before any distributions are made on the related
Certificates on the related Distribution Date. Any state or local taxes
imposed upon the Trust, any related REMIC or any related Certificateholder that
would not have been imposed on the Trust, such REMIC or such Certificateholder
in the absence of any legal or business connection between the Trustee and the
state or locality imposing such taxes (including any federal, state or local
taxes imposed on such Trust, such REMIC or such Certificateholder as a result
of such Trust, such REMIC or such Certificateholder being deemed to have
received income as a result of the Trustee's payment of state or local taxes)
shall be paid by the Trustee, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
these Standard Terms, such taxes shall be deemed to be part of the Trustee's
cost of doing business and shall not be reimbursable to the Trustee.
(h) If the Servicer (or an Affiliate thereof) is unable for any
reason to fulfill its duties as Tax Matters Person, then the holder of the
largest Percentage Interest of the Residual Certificates,
-95-
101
without compensation, shall become the successor Tax Matters Person for each
related REMIC; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trustee be
required to act as Tax Matters Person (regardless of whether the Trustee is
acting as successor Servicer).
SECTION 10.02. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES.
Except as otherwise provided elsewhere in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, neither the Company, the Servicer, the Holders of Residual
Certificates, nor the Trustee shall engage in, nor shall the Trustee permit,
any of the following transactions or activities unless it has received (1) a
Special Tax Opinion and (2) a Special Tax Consent from each of the Holders of
the Residual Certificates (unless the Special Tax Opinion specially provides
that no REMIC-level tax will result from the transaction or activity in
question):
(a) the sale or other disposition of, or substitution for, any of
the underlying Assets except pursuant to (1) a foreclosure or default with
respect to such an Asset, (2) a purchase or repurchase pursuant to Section 2.06
hereof, (3) the bankruptcy or insolvency of any related REMIC, or (4) the
termination of any related REMIC pursuant to Article IX hereof;
(b) the acquisition of any Assets for the Trust after the related
Closing Date except (1) during the three-month period beginning on the Closing
Date pursuant to a fixed-price contract in effect on the Closing Date that has
been reviewed and approved by tax counsel acceptable to the Servicer or (2) a
substitution in accordance with Section 2.06 hereof;
(c) the sale or other disposition of any investment in the
Distribution Account at a gain;
(d) the acceptance of any contribution to the Trust except the
following cash contributions: (1) a cash contribution received during the

facilitate a Terminating Purchase that is made within the 90-day period
beginning on the date on which a plan of complete liquidation is adopted
pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(1) hereof; (3) a contribution to a Reserve Fund
owned by a related REMIC that is made pro rata by the Holders of the Residual
Certificates; or (4) any other contribution approved by the Servicer after
consultation with tax counsel;
(e) except in the case of an Asset that is in default, or as to
which, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, default is reasonably
foreseeable, neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall permit any modification
of any material term of an Asset (including, but not limited to, the interest
rate, the principal balance, the amortization schedule (except as provided in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the remaining term to maturity, or any
other term affecting the amount or timing of payments on the Asset) unless the
Trustee and Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the
party seeking to modify the Asset) to the effect that such modification would
not be treated as giving rise to a new debt instrument for REMIC purposes;
-96-
102
(f) engage (in the case of the Company, the Servicer or the
holders of the Residual Certificates) or knowingly engage (in the case of the
Trustee) in any other transaction or activity that is inconsistent with the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
(g) the sale or other disposition of any asset held in a Reserve
Fund for a period of less than three months (a "Short-Term Reserve Fund
Investment") if such sale or disposition would cause 30% or more of a related
REMIC's income from all of its Reserve Funds for the taxable year to consist of
gain from the sale or disposition of Short-Term Reserve Fund Investments; or
(h) the withdrawal of any amounts from any Reserve Fund except (A)
for the distribution pro rata to the Holders of the Residual Certificates or
(B) to provide for the payment of Trust expenses or amounts payable on the
Certificates in the event of defaults or late payments on the related Assets or
lower than expected returns on funds held in the Distribution Account, as
provided under section 860G(a)(7) of the Code.
Any party causing the Trust to engage in any of the activities prohibited in
this Section shall be liable for the payment of any tax imposed on the Trust
pursuant to Code section 860F(a)(1) or 860G(d) as a result of the Trust
engaging in such activities.
ARTICLE XI

SECTION 11.01. AMENDMENTS.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended or supplemented
from time to time by the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee without the
consent of any of the Certificateholders (a) to cure any ambiguity herein, (b)
to correct or supplement any provisions herein that may be inconsistent with
any other provisions herein, (c) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its
provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain the
qualification of any related REMIC as a REMIC and to avoid the imposition of
certain taxes on a REMIC under the Code at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding or (d) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or matters arising
with respect to the Trust that are not covered by the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement; provided, that such action shall not affect adversely the interests
of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel independent
from the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee or a letter from each Rating
Agency from whom the Company requested a rating of any of the related
Certificates stating that such action will not result in a downgrading of the
rating of any of the related Certificates rated by such Rating Agency at the
request of the Company. Promptly after the execution of any such amendment,
the Trustee shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Holder of
Certificates.
-97-
103
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also may be amended from time to
time by the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders entitled to at least a majority of the Voting Rights of each Class of
Certificates that would be affected by such amendment for the purpose of adding
any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner
the rights of the Holders of the Certificates; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall (a) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Contracts or Mortgage Loans that are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, (b) affect adversely in any material respect the interests of the
Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than described in clause
(a) of this paragraph, or (c) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the
consent of such Holders of all Certificates then outstanding.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment,
but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.
The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of
the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
In executing and delivering any amendment or modification to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreeement, the Trustee shall be entitled to an opinion
of counsel (which may be from in-house counsel) stating that: (i) such
amendment is authorized pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
complies therewith; and (ii) all conditions precedent to the execution,
delivery and performance of such amendment shall have been satisfied in full.
The Trustee may but shall have no obligation to execute and deliver any
amendment or modification which would affect its duties, powers, rights,
immunities or indemnities hereunder.
SECTION 11.02. RECORDATION OF AGREEMENT; COUNTERPARTS.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real
property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which
any or all of the Real Property or Mortgaged Properties included in the Trust
Estate and subject to the related Mortgages are situated, and in any other
appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be
effected by the Servicer and at its expense, if such recordation is necessary
to protect the interests of the Certificateholders. The Trustee shall not be

SECTION 11.03. LIMITATION ON RIGHTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust, nor will such death
or incapacity entitle such Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs
to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a
partition or winding up of the Trust, nor shall it otherwise affect the rights,
obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly
provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall
anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be
construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under
any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the
Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as
hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates entitled to
at least 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to the Certificates shall have made
written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding
in its own name as Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and shall
have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against
the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the
Trustee, for 15 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit
or proceeding. It is understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each
Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no
one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever
by virtue of any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such
Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any
other such Holder, or to enforce any right under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and
common benefit of all Holders of Certificates. For the protection and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder
and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law
or in equity.
SECTION 11.04. NOTICES.
All demands, instructions, directions, consents, waivers and notices
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered at or mailed by first
class mail, postage prepaid, or by express delivery service, to (a) in the case
of the Company, Bombardier Capital Mortgage Securitization Corporation, 0000
Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, Attention: President, telecopy

party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in writing by the Trustee. Any
notice required or permitted to be mailed to a Certificateholder shall be given
by registered mail, postage prepaid, or by express delivery service, at the
address of such Holder as shown in the Certificate Register. Any notice so
mailed within the time prescribed in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall

Certificateholder receives such notice. A copy of any notice required to be
telecopied hereunder also shall be mailed to the appropriate party in the
manner set forth above. A copy of any notice given hereunder to any other
party shall be delivered to the Trustee.
SECTION 11.05. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS.
If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be held invalid for any reason
whatsoever, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be
deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity
or enforceability of the other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.
SECTION 11.06. SALE OF CONTRACTS.
It is the express intent of the Company and the Trustee that the
conveyance of the Assets underlying a Series by the Company to the Trustee
pursuant to the related Pooling and Servicing Agreement be construed as a sale
of such Assets by the Company to the Trustee. It is, further, not the
intention of the Company or the Trustee that such conveyance be deemed a pledge
of such Assets by the Company to the Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Company. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the
intent of the parties, such Assets are held to continue to be property of the
Company, then (a) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement also shall be deemed to
be a security agreement within the meaning of Article 9 of the applicable UCC;
(b) the conveyance by the Company provided for in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by the Company to the Trustee of a
security interest in all of the Company's right, title and interest in and to
the Assets and all amounts payable to the holders of the Assets in accordance
with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or
involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other
property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment
earnings, from time to time held or invested in the related Certificate Account
or Distribution Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities
or other property, and including without limitation all amounts from time to
time held or invested in any related Reserve
-100-
106
Fund; (c) the possession by the Trustee or its agent (including the Servicer
pursuant to Section 2.02(a) hereof) of items of property that constitute
instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be
"possession by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the applicable UCC; and (d) notifications
to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications
to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial
intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the
purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Company
and the Trustee (to the extent the Trustee has been instructed by the Company
or the Servicer) shall take, to the extent consistent with the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in
the related Assets, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected
security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained
as such throughout the term of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 11.07. NOTICE TO RATING AGENCY.
(a) The Trustee shall use its best efforts promptly to provide
notice to each applicable Rating Agency and each Certificateholder with respect
to each of the following of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge,
except that no notice specified below need be sent to any such
Certificateholder or each applicable Rating Agency if already sent pursuant to
other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement:
(1) any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
or any agreement assigned to the Trust;
(2) the occurrence of any Event of Default involving the
Servicer that has not been cured or waived;
(3) the resignation, termination or merger of the
Company, the Servicer or the Trustee;
(4) the purchase or repurchase or substitution of
Contracts pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof;
(5) the final payment to the Certificateholders;
(6) any change in the location of the related Certificate
Account or the Distribution Account;
(7) any event that would result in the inability of the
Servicer to make Advances regarding the related Assets;
-101-
107
(8) any change in applicable law that would require an
assignment of a Mortgage, not previously recorded, to be recorded in
order to protect the right, title and interest of the Trustee in and
to the related Real Property or Mortgaged Property or, in case a court
should recharacterize the sale of the related Asset as a financing, to
perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Trustee in
the related Asset or the occurrence of either of the circumstances
described in clause (1) or (2) of Section 2.06(b) hereof relating to
the retitling of Manufactured Homes; or
(9) any change in the Company's or the Servicer's name or
place of business or the relocation of the Contract Files or Servicer
Contract Files or the Servicer Mortgage Loan Files to a location
outside the State of Florida or the relocation of the Trustee Mortgage
Loan Files to a location outside of the state where they are
originally held by the Trustee or its Custodian.
(b) The Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any of the
events listed in Section 11.07(a) hereof of which it has actual knowledge. In
addition, the Trustee shall furnish promptly to each Rating Agency, at its
address set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, copies of the
following:
(i) Each Remittance Report; and
(ii) Each Officer's Certificate supplied by the Servicer
to the Trustee and the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.13
hereof.
(c) Any notice pursuant to this Section 11.07 shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered or mailed
by first class mail, postage prepaid or by express delivery service to each
Rating Agency at its address specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

In connection with the purchase on the date hereof of the captioned
securities (the "Purchased Certificates"), the undersigned (the "Transferee")
hereby certifies and covenants to the transferor, Bombardier Capital Mortgage
Securitization Corporation (the "Company"), the Servicer, the Trustee and the
Trust as follows:
1. The Transferee is a "qualified institutional buyer" as that
term is defined in Rule 144A ("Rule 144A") promulgated under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and has completed the form of
certification to that effect attached hereto as Annex A1 (if the Transferee is
not a registered investment company) or Annex A2 (if the Transferee is a
registered investment company). The Transferee is aware that the sale to it is
being made in reliance on Rule 144A.
2. The Transferee understands that the Purchased Certificates
have not been registered under the 1933 Act or registered or qualified under
any state securities laws and that no transfer may be made unless the Purchased
Certificates are registered under the 1933 Act and under applicable state law
or unless an exemption from such registration is available. The Transferee
further understands that neither the Company, the Servicer, the Trustee nor the
Trust is under any obligation to register the Purchased Certificates or make an
exemption from such registration available.
3. The Transferee is acquiring the Purchased Certificates for its
own account or for the account of a "qualified institutional buyer" (as defined
in Rule 144A, a "QIB"), and understands that
Exhibit 5 - Page 1
117
such Purchased Certificates may be resold, pledged or transferred only (a) to a
person reasonably believed to be such a QIB that purchases for its own account
or for the account of a QIB to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or
transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, or (b) pursuant to another
exemption from registration under the 1933 Act and under applicable state
securities laws. IN ADDITION, SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL
RESTRICTIONS, AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.05 OF THE STANDARD TERMS TO THE POOLING
AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (THE "STANDARD TERMS") REFERRED TO BELOW. By its
execution of this agreement, the Transferee agrees that it will not resell,
pledge or transfer any of the Purchased Certificates to anyone otherwise than
in strict compliance with Rule 144A, or pursuant to another exemption from
registration under the 1933 Act and all applicable state securities laws, and
in strict compliance with the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 5.05
of the Standard Terms. The Transferee will not attempt to transfer any or all
of the Purchased Certificates pursuant to Rule 144A unless the Transferee
offers and sells such Certificates only to QIBs or to offerees or purchasers
that the Transferee and any person acting on behalf of the Transferee
reasonably believe (as described in paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 144A) is a QIB.
4. The Transferee has been furnished with all information that it
requested regarding (a) the Purchased Certificates and distributions thereon
and (b) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement referred to below.
5. If applicable, the Transferee has complied, will comply in all
material respects with applicable regulatory guidelines relating to the
ownership of mortgage derivative products.
All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the
respective meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
dated as of ____________________________1, 19___, which incorporates by
reference the Standard Terms thereto (January 1998 Edition), among the Company,

the Company, BCI, the Servicer or the Trustee) that such transfer is not
required to be registered under the Act or state securities laws.

does hereby agree to, indemnify the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee

Certificates other than with respect to amounts that may be properly

(c) If applicable, the Transferee will comply with
respect to the Residual Certificates in all material respects with

deem necessary to ensure that any such transfer will not result in the
imposition of any tax on the Trust.
(e) The Transferee hereby agrees that the Servicer or an
affiliate thereof will (i) supervise or engage in any action necessary
or advisable to preserve the status of the REMIC as a REMIC, (ii) be,

or result in the imposition of tax on any such REMIC unless counsel
for, or acceptable to, the TMP has provided an opinion that such
action will not result in the loss of such REMIC status or the
imposition of such tax, as applicable.
SECTION 4. ADDITIONAL TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.
(a) No transfer of the Residual Certificates shall be made unless
the Servicer has consented in writing to such transfer. No Residual
Certificate may be transferred to a Disqualified Organization. The Servicer
will not consent to any proposed transfer (i) to any investor that it knows is
a Disqualified Organization or (ii) if the transfer involves less than an
entire interest in a Residual Certificate unless (A) the interest transferred
is an undivided interest or (B) the transferor or the transferee provides the
Servicer with an Opinion of Counsel obtained at its own expense to the effect
Exhibit 8 - Page 3
134
that the transfer will not jeopardize the REMIC status of any related REMIC.
The Servicer's consent to any transfer is further conditioned the Servicer's
receipt from the proposed transferee of (x) a Residual Transferee Agreement,
(y) a Benefit Plan Affidavit, and (z) either (A) if the transferee is a
Non-U.S. Person, an affidavit of the proposed transferee in substantially the
form attached as Exhibit 8-A to Exhibit 8 to the Standard Terms and a
certificate of the transferor stating whether the Class R Certificate has "tax
avoidance potential" as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-3(a)(2),
or (B) if the transferee is a U.S. Person, an affidavit in substantially the
form attached as Exhibit 8-B to Exhibit 8 to the Standard Terms. In addition,
if a proposed transfer involves a Private Certificate, (1) the Servicer or the
Trustee shall require that the transferor and transferee certify as to the
factual basis for the registration or qualification exemption(s) relied upon to
exempt the transfer from registration under the Act and all applicable state
securities or "blue sky" laws, and (2) if the transfer is to be made within
three years after the acquisition thereof by a non-Affiliate of the Company
from the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, the Servicer or the Trustee
also may require an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made without
registration or qualification under the Act and applicable state securities
laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the
Company, the Trustee or the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the initial transfer of
the Residual Certificates or their transfer by a broker or dealer, if such
broker or dealer was the initial transferee. Notwithstanding the fulfillment
of the prerequisites described above, the Servicer may withhold its consent to,
or the Trustee may refuse to recognize, a transfer of a Residual Certificate,
but only to the extent necessary to avoid a risk of disqualification of a
related REMIC as a REMIC or the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC. Any
attempted transfer in violation of the foregoing restrictions shall be null and
void and shall not be recognized by the Trustee.
(b) If a tax or a reporting cost is borne by a related REMIC as a
result of the transfer of the Residual Certificates or any beneficial interest
therein, in violation of the restrictions referenced herein, the Transferor
shall pay such tax or cost and, if such tax or costs are not so paid, the
Trustee, upon notification from the Servicer, shall pay such tax or reporting
cost with amounts that otherwise would have been paid to the transferee of such
Residual Certificates. In that event, neither the Transferee nor the
transferor shall have any right to seek repayment of such amounts from the
Company, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust, the REMIC or the holders of any
other Certificates, and none of such parties shall have any liability for
payment of any such tax or reporting cost. In the event that a Residual
Certificate is transferred to a Disqualified Organization, the Servicer shall
make, or cause to be made, available the information necessary for the
computation of the excise tax imposed under section 860E(e) of the Code.
SECTION 5. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
(a) The Transferee acknowledges that, if the Residual Certificates
are Private Certificates, the Residual Certificates have not been registered
under the Act or registered or qualified under any state securities laws and
that no transfer may be made unless the Purchased Certificates are registered
under the Act and under applicable state law or unless an exemption from such
registration is available. The Transferee further understands that neither the
Company, the Servicer nor the Trust
Exhibit 8 - Page 4
135
is under any obligation to register the Certificate or make an exemption from
such registration available.
(b) The Transferee acknowledges that if any United States federal
income tax is due at the time a Non-U.S. Person transfers a Residual
Certificate, the Trustee or its designated Paying Agent or other person who is
liable to withhold federal income tax from a distribution on a Residual
Certificate under sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code and the regulations
thereunder (the "Withholding Agent") may (i) withhold an amount equal to the
taxes due upon disposition of the Certificate from future distributions made
with respect to the Certificate to the transferee (after giving effect to the
withholding of taxes imposed on such transferee), and (ii) pay the withheld
amount to the Internal Revenue Service unless satisfactory written evidence of
payment of the taxes due by the transferor has been provided to the Withholding
Agent. Moreover, the Withholding Agent may (x) hold distributions on a
Certificate, without interest, pending determination of amounts to be withheld,
(y) withhold other amounts required to be withheld pursuant to United States
federal income tax law, if any, from distributions that otherwise would be made
to such transferee on each Certificate it holds, and (z) pay to the Internal
Revenue Service all such amounts withheld.
(c) The Transferee acknowledges that the transfer of all or part
of the Residual Certificates that have "tax avoidance potential" (as defined in
Treasury Regulations section 1.860G-3(a)(2) or any successor provision) to a
Non-U.S. Person will be disregarded for all federal income tax purposes.
(d) The Transferee acknowledges that the transfer of the Residual
Certificates to a U.S. Person will be disregarded for all federal income tax
purposes if a significant purpose of the transfer is to impede the assessment
or collection of the taxes and expenses associated with the security within the
meaning of Treasury regulation section 1.860E-1(c)(1).
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement be validly executed by its duly authorized representative
as of the day and year first above written.

Person").

4. The Transferee agrees that it will not hold the Residual
Certificates in connection with a trade or business in the United States, and
the Transferee understands that it will be subject to United States federal
income tax under sections 871 and 881 of the Code in accordance with section
860G of the Code and any Treasury regulations issued thereunder on "excess
inclusions" that accrue with respect to the Residual Certificates during the
period the Transferee holds the Residual Certificates.
5. The Transferee understands that the federal income tax on
excess inclusions with respect to the Residual Certificates may be withheld in
accordance with section 860G(b) of the Code from distributions that otherwise
would be made to the Transferee on the Residual Certificates and, to the extent
that such tax has not been imposed previously, that such tax may be imposed at
the time of disposition of any such Residual Certificate pursuant to section
860G(b) of the Code.
6. The Transferee agrees (i) to file a timely United States
federal income tax return for the year in which disposition of a Residual
Certificate it holds occurs (or earlier if required by law) and will pay any
United States federal income tax due at that time and (ii) if any tax is due at
that time, to provide satisfactory written evidence of payment to the Trustee
or its designated paying agent or other person who is liable to withhold
federal income tax from a distribution on the Residual Certificates under
sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code and the regulations thereunder (the
"Withholding Agent").
7. The Transferee understands that, until such written notice is
provided, the Withholding Agent may (i) withhold an amount equal to the taxes
due upon disposition of a Residual Certificates from future distributions made
with respect to the Residual Certificate to subsequent transferees (after
giving effect to the withholding of taxes imposed on such subsequent
transferees), and (ii) pay the withheld amount to the Internal Revenue Service.
8. The Transferee understands that (i) the Withholding Agent may
withhold other amounts required to be withheld pursuant to United States
federal income tax law, if any, from distributions that otherwise would be made
to such transferee on each Residual Certificates it holds and (ii) the
Withholding Agent may pay to the Internal Revenue Service amounts withheld on
behalf of any and all former holders of each Residual Certificate held by the
Transferee.
9. The Transferee understands that if it transfers a Residual
Certificate (or any interest therein) to a United States Person (including a
foreign person who is subject to net United States federal income taxation with
respect to such Residual Certificate), the Withholding Agent may disregard the
transfer for federal income tax purposes if the transfer would have the effect
of allowing the Transferee to avoid tax on accrued excess inclusions and may
continue to withhold tax from future distributions as though the Residual
Certificate were still held by the Transferee.
10. The Transferee understands that a transfer of a Residual
Certificate (or any interest therein) to a Non-U.S. Person (i.e., a foreign
person who is not subject to net United States federal income tax with respect
to such Residual Certificate) will not be recognized unless the Withholding
Exhibit 8-A - Page 2
138
Agent has received from the transferee an affidavit in substantially the same
form as this affidavit containing these same agreements and representations.
11. The Transferee understands that distributions on a Residual
Certificate may be delayed, without interest, pending determination of amounts
to be withheld.
12. The Transferee is not a "Disqualified Organization" (as
defined below), and the Transferee is not acquiring a Residual Certificate for
the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of
direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership to, a Disqualified
Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of
the following: (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision

other entity so designated by Treasury rulings or regulations promulgated or

its board of directors is not selected by such governmental unit.
13. The Transferee agrees to consent to any amendment of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement that shall be deemed necessary by the Company
(upon the advice of counsel to the Company) to constitute a reasonable
arrangement to ensure that no interest in a Residual Certificate will be owned
directly or indirectly by a Disqualified Organization.
14. The Transferee acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code
would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances,
on an agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in
