Effective as of the date hereof, the Owner Trustee shall have all the rights,
powers and duties set forth herein and in the Business Trust Statute with
respect to accomplishing the purposes of the Trust. For purposes of this
Declaration of Business Trust, "Business Trust Statute" means [applicable law]
as the same may be amended from time to time.
SECTION 2.2 Transfer of Trust Estate to Owner Trustee.
(a) Effective as of the date hereof, the Depositor does hereby contribute,
sell, grant, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to, and deposit
with, the Owner Trustee, and its successors, for the benefit of the Trust, until
this Deposit Trust Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 8.1, the entire

Mortgage Loan:
(i) the Mortgage Loan Documents;

Depositor as debtor in favor of the Trust as secured party and the

(iii) all other items relating to the foregoing as may be reasonably
requested by or on behalf of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture
Trustee.
(b) The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans, the related rights and property
and all other assets constituting the Trust Estate by the Depositor as
contemplated hereby is absolute and is intended by the parties to constitute an
absolute contribution and transfer of the Mortgage Loans, such other related
rights and all other assets constituting the Trust Estate by the Depositor to
the Trust. It is, further, not intended that such conveyance be deemed to
constitute a pledge of security for a loan. If, however, such conveyance is
deemed to constitute a pledge of security for a loan, the Depositor intends that
the rights and obligations of the parties to such loan shall be established
pursuant to, and be governed by, the terms of this Deposit Trust Agreement. The
Depositor also intends and agrees that, in such event, (i) this Deposit Trust
Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, (ii) the
Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the

purchaser or Person designated by such secured party for the purpose of
perfecting such security interest under applicable law, and (iv) notifications
to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such
property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts

to the extent consistent with this Deposit Trust Agreement, take or cause to be
taken such reasonable actions, including the filing, as a precautionary filing,
UCC Financing Statements on Form UCC-1 in all appropriate locations in the State
of _____________ promptly following the issuance of the Bonds, such that, if
this Deposit Trust Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the
Mortgage Loans and the other assets of the Trust Estate, such security interest
would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law
and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Deposit Trust
Agreement.
(c) The Owner Trustee, by its execution and delivery of this Deposit Trust
Agreement, acknowledges the receipt by it of all assets delivered to it and
included in the Trust Estate, in good faith and without notice of any adverse
claim (except to the extent of the Lien thereon contemplated by the Indenture),
and declares that it holds and will hold such assets, and all other assets
hereafter delivered to it that constitute portions of the Trust Estate, in trust
for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.

sell, dispose of or transfer any interest in (or permit or cause the assignment,
sale, disposition or transfer of any interest in), nor may the Depositor or any
Certificateholder withdraw from the Trust, any Mortgage Loan or other asset
constituting the Trust Estate. Except as contemplated by the Indenture, the
Owner Trustee shall not permit the Mortgage Loans or any other asset
constituting the Trust Estate to be subjected to any lien, claim or encumbrance
arising by, through or under the Owner Trustee or any Person claiming by,
through or under the Owner Trustee.

Depositor hereby authorizes and directs the Owner Trustee or (in the case of tax
administration matters, its agent) (i) to execute and deliver, as trustee for
and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Operative Agreements to which the
Trust is a party and all other agreements, documents, instruments and
certificates contemplated to be executed and delivered by the Trust pursuant to

Trust Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the entire beneficial
ownership of the Trust. The Owner Trust Certificates will consist of [three]
Classes designated as the "Class [P] Certificates", the "Class [XS]
Certificates" and the "Class [R] Certificates". The rights of the respective
Classes of Certificateholders to receive distributions from the proceeds of the

of the respective Classes of Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be
as set forth in this Deposit Trust Agreement.
(b) The Owner Trust Certificates will be substantially in the respective
forms attached hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-3; provided that any of the
Owner Trust Certificates may be issued with appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and variations, and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced
thereon such legend or legends, not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Deposit Trust Agreement, as may be required to comply with any law or with rules
or regulations pursuant thereto, or with the rules of any securities market in
which the Owner Trust Certificates are admitted to trading, or to conform to
general usage. The Owner Trust Certificates will be issuable in registered form
only, in minimum denominations representing not less than a ____% Percentage
Interest in the relevant Class.
(c) Each Owner Trust Certificate may be printed or in typewritten or
similar form, and each Owner Trust Certificate shall, upon original issue, be

delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor. All Owner Trust Certificates
shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trust by an
authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, not individually, but solely as Owner
Trustee hereunder. Owner Trust Certificates bearing the signatures of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Owner Trustee shall
bind the Owner Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them
have ceased to hold such offices prior to the delivery of such Owner Trust
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Owner Trust
Certificates. No Owner Trust Certificates shall be entitled to any benefit under
this Deposit Trust Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears
on such Owner Trust Certificate a certificate of authentication in the form set
forth on the signature page of the form of Owner Trust Certificates attached as
Exhibit A-1 through Exhibit A-3, executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual
signature, and such certificate of authentication upon any Owner Trust
Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Owner
Trust Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Owner
Trust Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

hereto that the Trust shall not engage in any business or activities other than

(iv) Each of the Depositor and the Trust will provide for its own operating
expenses and liabilities from its own funds. General overhead and

of ____________________.
(ix) The Trust and the Depositor shall keep separate their respective funds
and other assets and shall not commingle such funds and other assets
with those of any other Affiliates thereof.

and any other Affiliates (although the Trust's financial statements
may be presented as part of the consolidated financial statements of

terms other than would be obtained in an arm's-length transaction with
a non-Affiliate.

FROM THE TRUST ESTATE
SECTION 4.1 Distribution of Payments.
(a) In the event that, following the [Cut-off Date] and prior to the Lien
on the Trust Estate under the Indenture having been discharged and released, any
payments on account of the Mortgage Loans are received directly (rather than
through the Indenture Trustee) by the Owner Trustee, the Depositor or a
Certificateholder (other than payments described in clause (2) of Section 3.1),
the Person so receiving such payment shall, promptly upon receipt, deliver such
payment over to the Indenture Trustee without deduction, set-off or adjustment
of any kind.
(b) The parties hereto acknowledge that pursuant to the terms of the
Indenture, after payment by the Indenture Trustee of all required payments on
the Bonds on each Payment Date, the remaining Available Funds in the Bond
Account are required to be remitted by the Indenture Trustee to the Trust. The
Owner Trustee may direct the Indenture Trustee to distribute such remaining
Available Funds on any such Payment Date in a manner consistent with Sections
3.2 and 4.2 (as if such remaining Available Funds were on deposit in the
Certificate Account); and, in connection therewith, such remaining Available
Funds shall be deemed to have been deposited in the Certificate Account and
subsequently withdrawn to make such distributions.
SECTION 4.2 Payments.
(a) On each Payment Date (or, if the payments from the Indenture Trustee on
such Payment Date contemplated by Section 4.1(b) shall have been received after
__________ _.m., New York City time on such Payment Date, as soon as practically
possible, but in no event more than one Business Day, following receipt), the

Agent) shall pay such Certificateholder Funds to the respective Classes of
Certificateholders for the following purposes and in the following order, in
each case to the extent of remaining available funds:
(i) to the Holders of the Class [P] Certificates and the Holders of the

entitlement, up to an amount equal to all Accrued Certificate Interest
in respect of each such Class of Owner Trust Certificates for the
related Payment Date and, to the extent not previously paid, for all
prior Payment Dates;
(ii) if all the Bonds have been retired, to the Holders of the Class [P]
Certificates in respect of principal, up to an amount equal to the
Aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of the Class [P] Certificates
immediately prior to such Payment Date; and
(iii) to the Holders of the Class [R] Certificates, in an amount equal to
the remaining portion, if any, of the Certificateholder Funds for such
Payment Date.
Payments made after the Payment Date on which they were scheduled to be made as

shall be deemed to have been made on such Payment Date.
(b) All payments made with respect to any Class of Owner Trust Certificates
on any Payment Date shall be allocated pro rata among the Certificates of such

Certificateholders on each Payment Date will be made to the Certificateholders

the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have so
notified the Owner Trustee in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to
the related Record Date and if such Certificateholder is the registered owner of
Owner Trust Certificates representing at least a ____% Percentage Interest in
any Class thereof, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the
address of such Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register. Final
payment on each Owner Trust Certificate will be made in like manner, but only
upon presentment and surrender of such Owner Trust Certificate at the Corporate
Trust Office or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final payment.
(c) Whenever the Owner Trustee expects that the final payment with respect
to the Certificates will be made on the next Payment Date, whether in connection
with the final payment or other liquidation of the last remaining Mortgage Loan
or REO Property or upon a termination of the Trust at the direction of the
Certificateholders in accordance with Section 8.1, the Owner Trustee (or its
Agent) shall mail to each Holder on such date of the Owner Trust Certificates a
notice to the effect that:
(i) the Owner Trustee expects that the final payment with respect to the
Owner Trust Certificates will be made on such Payment Date but only
upon presentation and surrender of the Owner Trust Certificates at the
office of the Owner Trustee therein specified, and
(ii) no interest shall accrue on the Owner Trust Certificates from and
after such Payment Date.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Owner Trust Certificates by the
Certificateholders on the final Payment Date in respect of the Owner Trust
Certificates, the Owner Trustee shall distribute to the Certificateholders the
amounts otherwise distributable on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 4.2(a).
Any funds not distributed on such Payment Date because of the failure of any
Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in
trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders. If
any Owner Trust Certificate, as to which notice has been given pursuant to this
Section 4.2(c) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6)
months after the time specified in such notice, the Owner Trustee shall mail a
second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown
in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Owner Trust Certificates for
cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final payment with
respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Owner Trust
Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Owner Trustee
shall directly or through an agent, take reasonable steps to contact the
remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The
costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting
Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within
two years after the second notice any Owner Trust Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Owner Trustee shall segregate all amounts
distributable to the Holders thereof and shall thereafter hold such amounts
uninvested for the benefit of such Holders. No interest shall accrue or be
payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Owner Trust Certificates for final
payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.2(c).
SECTION 4.3 Statements to Certificateholders. On each Payment Date, the
Owner Trustee (or its Agent) shall prepare, and shall forward by mail, a
statement to each Certificateholder, to the Depositor and to the Rating Agencies
setting forth:

(ii) the aggregate amounts of interest and principal paid to the Holders of
the Class [P] Certificates and to the Holders of the Class [XS]
Certificates on such Payment Date;
(iii) the aggregate amount of any distributions to the Holders of the Class
[R] Certificates on such Payment Date;
(iv) the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class [P]
Certificates after giving effect to payments of principal and other
reductions in respect of the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance
of such Owner Trust Certificates (all in accordance with the
definition of "Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance") on such
Payment Date; and
(v) the amount of the Owner Trustee Fees received by the Owner Trustee
following the preceding Payment Date and any unpaid Owner Trustee Fees
then due and owing to the Owner Trustee.
In addition, the Owner Trustee promptly (and, in any event, within five (5)
Business Days of receipt) will furnish to Certificateholders and the Depositor
copies of any notices, statements, reports or other communications received by
the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust as issuer of the Bonds or as owner of
the Mortgage Loans, including, without limitation, any such notices, statements,
reports or other communications relating to the Bonds, the Indenture, the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicing Agreement or the other assets of the Trust Estate.
On or before March 31st of each calendar year, beginning with calendar year
199_, the Owner Trustee (or its Agent) shall prepare, or cause to be prepared,
and deliver, or cause to be delivered, by first class mail to each Person who at
any time during the previous calendar year was a Certificateholder of record a
statement containing the information required to be contained in the regular
monthly report to Certificateholders, as set forth in clause (ii) or clause
(iii), as applicable, above aggregated for such calendar year or the applicable
portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such
obligation of the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the
extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Owner
Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code and regulations thereunder as
from time to time are in force.
SECTION 4.4 Access to Certain Documentation and Information. The Owner
Trustee shall provide to the Certificateholders access to [all] reports,
documents and records maintained by the Owner Trustee in respect of its duties
hereunder, such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable
written request and during normal business hours at offices designated by the
Owner Trustee.
SECTION 4.5 Compliance with Withholding Requirements. In the event that the
Owner Trustee is required (whether on liquidation of the Trust or otherwise) to
make payments to the Depositor or the Certificateholders, notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Deposit Trust Agreement, the Owner Trustee (or its
Agent) shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to
payments to the Depositor or the Certificateholders that the Owner Trustee
reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of the Depositor
or the Certificateholders, as the case may be, shall not be required for any
such withholding. The parties hereto understand and agree that the Owner Trustee
shall not be required to increase the amount of any such payments to adjust or
compensate for the amount of such withholding (or any other amounts).

behalf of the Trust hereunder or under any of the other Operative Agreements.
SECTION 5.3 Action Required Only if Owner Trustee is Indemnified. The Owner
Trustee shall not be required to take any action under Section 5.1(b) if the

the Owner Trustee has not been and will not be adequately indemnified or is
contrary to the terms hereof or of any Operative Agreement or is otherwise
contrary to applicable law.

expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any Liens on
the Trust Estate arising by, through or under the Owner Trustee (or such
successor trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be) either (i) when acting in
its individual capacity or (ii) when acting improperly in its capacity as Owner
Trustee.

as otherwise explicitly provided in this Deposit Trust Agreement or in any other
Operative Agreement to which it is a party, neither the Owner Trustee nor the
[Bank] shall have any duty to (i) file or record any Operative Agreement or any
other document, or to maintain or continue any such filing or recording or to
refile or rerecord any such document, (ii) pay or discharge any tax or any Lien
owing with respect to or assessed or levied against any part of the Trust

notice to the Certificateholders, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the
Administrator, such resignation to be effective on the acceptance of appointment
by a successor Owner Trustee under Section 9.1(b) hereof. The Depositor shall
remove the Owner Trustee by written notice, a copy of which shall be
concurrently delivered by the Depositor to the Certificateholders, the Indenture
Trustee and the Administrator, if the Owner Trustee ceases to be an Eligible
Trustee and fails to resign immediately. The Owner Trustee otherwise may be
removed with or without cause at any time by the Certificateholders with 60
days' prior written notice, a copy of which shall be concurrently delivered by
the Certificateholders to the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the

appointment by a successor Owner Trustee under Section 9.1(b) hereof. In the
event of the resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholders
may appoint a successor Owner Trustee by an instrument signed by the
Certificateholders. If a successor Owner Trustee shall not have been appointed
within 60 days after the giving of written notice of such resignation or the
delivery of the written instrument with respect to such removal, the Owner
Trustee, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Administrator or the
Certificateholders may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a
successor Owner Trustee to act until such time, if any, as a successor shall
have been appointed and shall have accepted its appointment as above provided.
Any successor Owner Trustee so appointed by such court shall immediately and
without further act be superseded by any successor Owner Trustee appointed as
above provided within one year from the date of the appointment by such court.
(b) Any successor Owner Trustee, however appointed, shall execute and
deliver to the predecessor Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment and shall furnish a photocopy of such instrument to
the Certificateholders, and thereupon such successor Owner Trustee, without
further act, shall become vested with all the estates, properties, rights,
powers, duties and trusts of the predecessor Owner Trustee herein; but
nevertheless, upon the written request of such successor Owner Trustee such
predecessor Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring
to such successor Owner Trustee, upon the trusts herein expressed, all the
estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and trusts of such predecessor Owner
Trustee and such predecessor Owner Trustee shall duly assign, transfer, deliver
and pay over to such successor Owner Trustee all moneys or other property then
held by such predecessor Owner Trustee upon the trusts herein expressed.
(c) Any successor Owner Trustee shall be an Eligible Trustee, willing, able
and legally qualified to perform the duties of the Owner Trustee hereunder.
(d) Any corporation into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a party,
or any corporation to which substantially all the corporate trust business of
the Owner Trustee may be transferred, shall, subject to the terms of Section
9.1(c) hereof, be the Owner Trustee under this Deposit Trust Agreement without
any further act.
SECTION 9.2 Co-Trustees and Separate Trustees. Whenever the Owner Trustee
or the Indenture Trustee shall deem it necessary or prudent in order to conform
to any law of any jurisdiction in which all or any part of the Trust Estate
shall be situated or to make any claim or be a party to any suit with respect to
the Trust Estate, the Owner Trust Certificates, the Bonds or any Operative
Agreement, or the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee shall be advised in
writing by counsel reasonably satisfactory to each of them that it is so
necessary or prudent, the Owner Trustee and the Certificateholders shall execute
and deliver an agreement supplemental hereto and all other instruments and
agreements, and shall take all other action, necessary or proper to constitute
one or more Persons, who need not meet the requirements of Section 9.1(c)
hereof (and the Owner Trustee may appoint one or more of its officers), either
as co-trustees or co-trustees jointly with the Owner Trustee of all or any part
of the Trust Estate, or as separate trustee or separate trustees of all or any
part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Persons, in such capacity, such
title to the Trust Estate or any part thereof and such rights or duties as may
be necessary or desirable, all for such period and under such terms and
conditions as are reasonably satisfactory to the Owner Trustee and the
Certificateholders. In case any co-trustee or separate trustee shall die, become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, the title to the Trust Estate and all
rights and duties of such co-trustee or separate trustee shall, so far as
permitted by law, vest in and be exercised by the Owner Trustee, without the
appointment of a successor to such co-trustee or separate trustee.
SECTION 9.3 Notice. At all times that a successor Owner Trustee is
appointed under Section 9.1 hereof, an Owner Trustee resigns pursuant to such
Section 9.1 or a co-trustee or separate trustee is appointed pursuant to Section
9.2 hereof, the Certificateholders promptly shall give notice of such fact to
the Rating Agencies, if the Indenture has not been discharged.

of this Deposit Trust Agreement, at the written request of the
Certificateholders, this Deposit Trust Agreement shall be amended by a written
instrument signed by the Owner Trustee and the Certificateholders (and, if its
rights hereunder are adversely affected, the Depositor), but if in the opinion
of the Owner Trustee any instrument required to be so executed materially and
adversely affects any right, duty or liability of, or immunity or indemnity in
favor of the [Bank] or the Owner Trustee under this Deposit Trust Agreement or
any of the other Operative Agreements to which the Owner Trustee is a party, or
would cause or result in any conflict with or breach of any terms, conditions or
provisions of, or default under, the [Bank's] charter documents or bylaws or any
document contemplated hereby to which the Owner Trustee is a party, the Owner
Trustee may in its sole discretion decline to execute such instrument, unless it
shall have been provided an indemnity satisfactory to it by the
Certificateholders.
In the event that there is more than one Holder of Owner Trust Certificates
(as set forth in the Certificate Register), the consent to an amendment by
Certificateholders entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights shall be
sufficient to bind all of such Holders; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall: (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments required to be made on any Owner Trust Certificate without the consent
of the affected Holder; or (ii) amend this Section 10.1, without the consent of
the Holders of all Owner Trust Certificates then outstanding.
SECTION 10.2 Limitation on Amendments. Notwithstanding Section 10.1 or
Section 10.3 hereof, the Owner Trustee shall not, without the consent of the
Indenture Trustee, amend Section 8.1 of this Deposit Trust Agreement, or execute
any amendment that might result in the Trust being terminated prior to the
satisfaction and discharge of the Lien of the Indenture on the Trust Estate or
otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Bondholders prior to the payment
in full of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. Furthermore,
notwithstanding Section 10.1 or Section 10.3 hereof, the Owner Trustee shall not
execute any amendment without obtaining written confirmation from each Rating
Agency that such amendment will not result in the qualification, downgrade or
withdrawal of any then-current rating on the Bonds.
SECTION 10.3 Additional Amendment Provisions.
(a) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Certificateholders
under this Article X 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 shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Owner
Trustee may prescribe.
(b) The Owner Trustee, at any time from time to time, without the consent
of the Certificateholders, may amend this Deposit Trust Agreement to modify,
eliminate or add to any of its provisions, to such extent as shall be necessary
to prevent or reduce the imposition on the Trust of any material federal, state
or local taxes, at all times prior to the liquidation of the Trust; provided,
however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to
the Owner Trustee is necessary or helpful to prevent the imposition on the Trust
of any such taxes.
(c) Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Deposit Trust
Agreement, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an
Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment (or,
if such amendment is requested by the Owner Trustee, then at the expense of the

duly executed by, the Certificateholder thereof or such Person's attorney duly
authorized in writing.

Business Days after the receipt of such application, furnish or cause to be
furnished to such Applicant a list of the names and addresses of the
Certificateholders as set forth in the Certificate Register.

its identity and status as a Certificateholder and agrees with the Owner Trustee
that the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall not be held
accountable in any way by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the
names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the

Trustee, in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made
