37
With respect to any Non-MERS Mortgage Loans which are not Co-op Loans,
and as to which the related Mortgaged Property is located in Florida, the
related Servicer shall cause to be recorded in the appropriate public recording
office for real property records each Assignment of Mortgage referred to in this
Section 2.01 as soon as practicable. With respect to any Non-MERS Mortgage Loans
which are not Co-op Loans as to which the related Mortgaged Property is located
outside of Florida, the related Servicer shall not be obligated to cause to be
recorded the Assignment of Mortgage referred to in this Section 2.01. With
respect to Co-op Loans as to which the related dwelling unit is located in
Florida, the related Servicer shall cause to be filed in the appropriate filing
office the Form UCC-3 referred to in this Section 2.01 as soon as practicable.
With respect to any Co-op Loans as to which the related dwelling unit is located
outside Florida, the related Servicer shall not be obligated to cause to be
filed the Form UCC-3 referred to in this Section 2.01. While each such
Assignment of Mortgage or Form UCC-3 is being recorded or filed, as applicable,
the related Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a photocopy of such document.
If any such Assignment of Mortgage or Form UCC-3 is returned unrecorded or
unfiled to the related Servicer because of any defect therein, the related
Servicer shall cause such defect to be cured and such document to be recorded or
filed in accordance with this paragraph. The Depositor shall deliver or cause to
be delivered each such original recorded or filed Assignment of Mortgage and
intermediate assignment or Form UCC-3 to the Trustee within 270 days of the
Closing Date or shall deliver to the Trustee on or before such date an Officer's
Certificate stating that such document has been delivered to the appropriate
public recording or filing office for recording or filing, but has not been
returned solely because of a delay caused by such recording or filing office. In
any event, the Depositor shall use all reasonable efforts to cause each such
document with evidence of recording or filing thereon to be delivered to the
Trustee within 300 days of the Closing Date.
With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Trustee, at the expense of
the Depositor and at the direction and with the cooperation of the Servicer,
shall cause to be taken such actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee to be
clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the records of
MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership
of mortgages maintained by MERS.
The ownership of each Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the contents of
the related Mortgage File is vested in the Trustee. None of the Depositor nor
the Servicers shall take any action inconsistent with such ownership and shall
not claim any ownership interest therein. The Depositor and each Servicer shall
respond to any third party inquiries with respect to ownership of the Mortgage
Loans by stating that such ownership is held by the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. Mortgage documents relating to the Mortgage Loans not
delivered to the Trustee are and shall be held in trust by the related Servicer
or any Sub-Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee as the owner thereof, and
the related Servicer's or such Sub-Servicer's possession of the contents of each
Mortgage File so retained is for the sole purpose of servicing the related
Mortgage Loan, and such retention and possession by the related Servicer or such
Sub-Servicer is in a custodial capacity only. The Depositor agrees to take no
action inconsistent with the Trustee's ownership of the Mortgage Loans, to
promptly indicate to all inquiring parties that the Mortgage Loans have been
sold and to claim no ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans. Each Mortgage
File and the mortgage documents relating to the Mortgage Loans contain
proprietary business information of the related Servicer and its customers. The
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor agree that they will not use such
information for business purposes without the express written consent of the
related Servicer and that all such information shall be kept strictly
confidential.
38
It is the intention of this Agreement that the conveyance of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Trust Fund pursuant to this
Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. If a conveyance
of Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Depositor is characterized as a pledge
and not a sale, then the Depositor shall be deemed to have transferred to the
Trustee all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under the
obligations of the Seller deemed to be secured by said pledge; and it is the
intention of this Agreement that the Depositor shall also be deemed to have
granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title, and interest in, to and under the obligations of the
Seller to the Depositor deemed to be secured by said pledge and that the Trustee
shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the
security interest granted to the Depositor. If the conveyance of the Mortgage
Loans from the Depositor to the Trustee is characterized as a pledge, it is the
intention of this Agreement that this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law, and that the Depositor shall be deemed to have
granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, all
payments of principal of or interest on such Mortgage Loans, all other rights
relating to and payments made in respect of the Trust Fund, and all proceeds of
any thereof. If the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the
satisfaction of the claims of any Person in any Certificates, the security
interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee
shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person.
In addition to the conveyance made in the first paragraph of this
Section 2.01, the Depositor does hereby convey, assign and set over to the
Trustee all of its right, title and interest in that portion of the Trust Fund
described in items (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the definition thereof and
further assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders those
representations and warranties of the Seller contained in the Sale Agreement and
described in Section 3.01 hereof and the benefit of the repurchase obligations
of the Seller described in Sections 2.02 and 3.01 hereof and the obligations of
the Seller contained in the Sale Agreement to take, at the request of the
Depositor or the Trustee, all action on its part which is reasonably necessary
to ensure the enforceability of a Mortgage Loan.
Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee. Except as set forth in the
Exception Report delivered contemporaneously herewith (the "Exception Report"),
the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan and
delivery of a Mortgage File (but does not acknowledge receipt of all documents
required to be included in such Mortgage File) with respect to each Mortgage
Loan and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and any other
documents constituting a part of the Mortgage Files delivered to it in trust for
the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Depositor
will cause the Seller to repurchase any Mortgage Loans to which an exception was
taken in the Exception Report unless such exception is cured to the satisfaction
of the Trustee within 45 Business Days of the Closing Date.
39
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review
each Mortgage File delivered to it within 270 days after the Closing Date to
ascertain that all documents required by Section 2.01 have been executed and
received, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in
Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 that have been conveyed to it. If the Trustee finds
any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing
or defective (that is, mutilated, damaged, defaced or unexecuted) in any
material respect, the Trustee shall promptly (and in any event within no more
than five Business Days) after such finding so notify the related Servicer, the
Seller and the Depositor. In addition, the Trustee shall also notify the related
Servicer, the Seller and the Depositor, if (a) in examining the Mortgage Files,
the documentation shows on its face (i) any adverse claim, lien or encumbrance,
(ii) that any Mortgage Note was overdue or had been dishonored, (iii) any
evidence on the face of any Mortgage Note or Mortgage of any security interest
or other right or interest therein, or (iv) any defense against or claim to the
Mortgage Note by any party or (b) the original Mortgage with evidence of
recording thereon with respect to a Mortgage Loan is not received within 270
days of the Closing Date; provided, however, that if the Depositor cannot
deliver the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon because of a
delay caused by the public recording office where such Mortgage has been
delivered for recordation, the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Trustee written notice stating that such Mortgage has been delivered to
the appropriate public recording officer for recordation and thereafter the
Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Mortgage with evidence of
recording thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording office. The
Trustee shall request that the Seller correct or cure such omission, defect or
other irregularity, or substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the provisions of
Section 3.03, within 60 days from the date the Seller was notified of such
omission or defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such omission or
defect within such period, that the Seller purchase such Mortgage Loan from the
Trustee within 90 days from the date the Trustee notified the Seller of such
omission, defect or other irregularity at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage
Loan. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased pursuant to this
Section 2.02 shall be paid to the related Servicer and deposited by the related
Servicer in the related Collection Account promptly upon receipt, and, upon
receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a
Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall promptly release to the related Seller the
related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments
of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in
the Seller or its designee, as the case may be, any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with
regard to such Mortgage Loan. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of
the Seller to purchase, cure or substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which a
material defect in or omission of a constituent document exists shall constitute
the sole remedy respecting such defect or omission available to the Trustee on
behalf of Certificateholders. The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation
to inspect, review and examine such documents, instruments, certificates or
other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable or appropriate to
the represented purpose, or that they have actually been recorded, or that they
are other than what they purport to be on their face. The Trustee shall keep
confidential the name of each Mortgagor and shall not solicit any such Mortgagor
for the purpose of refinancing the related Mortgage Loan.
Within 280 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the
Depositor and each Servicer the Trustee's Certification, substantially in the
form of Exhibit G attached hereto, setting forth the status of the Mortgage
Files as of such date.
Section 2.03. Trust Fund; Authentication of Certificates.
The Trustee acknowledges and accepts the assignment to it of the Trust
Fund created pursuant to this Agreement in trust for the use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges the assignment
to it for the benefit of the Trust Fund of the Mortgage Loans and has caused to
be authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, in
exchange for the Mortgage Loans, Certificates duly authenticated by the Trustee
or, if an Authenticating Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 4.06, the
Authenticating Agent in authorized denominations evidencing ownership of the
entire Trust Fund.
40

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE DEPOSITOR AND
THE SERVICERS; REPURCHASE OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders that on the Closing Date it has entered into
the Sale Agreement with CMMC as Seller, that the Seller has made the following
representations and warranties with respect to each Mortgage Loan in such Sale
Agreement as of the Closing Date, which representations and warranties run to
and are for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, and as to which the Depositor has assigned to the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the
right to cause the Seller to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as to which there has
occurred an uncured breach of representations and warranties in accordance with
the provisions of the Sale Agreement.
(a) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is
complete, true and correct in all material respects;
(b) With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, the
Mortgage creates a first lien or a first priority ownership interest in an
estate in fee simple in real property securing the related Mortgage Note. With
respect to a Co-op Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid, enforceable and
subsisting first security interest on the related cooperative shares securing
the related Mortgage Note, subject only to (a) liens of the related residential
cooperative housing corporation for unpaid assessments representing the
Mortgagor's pro rata share of the related residential cooperative housing
corporation's payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real
property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments to
which like collateral is commonly subject and (b) other matters to which like
collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the
benefits of the security intended to be provided by the related security
agreement. There are no liens against or security interest in the cooperative
shares relating to each Co-op Loan (except for unpaid maintenance, assessments
and other amounts owed to the related cooperative which individually or in the
aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on such Co-op Loan), which
have priority over the Trustee's security interest in such cooperative shares;
(c) All payments due prior to the Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan
have been made as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan is not delinquent in
payment more than 30 days and has not been dishonored; to the best of the
Seller's knowledge, there are no material defaults under the terms of the
Mortgage Loan; the Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or
knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the
Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage (or, with respect to a Co-op Loan,
the related Mortgagor), directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount
required by the Mortgage Loan; there has been no more than one delinquency in
excess of 30 days during the preceding twelve-month period;
(d) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, all taxes, governmental
assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold
payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid,
or escrow funds have been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every
such escrowed item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not
yet due and payable;
46
(e) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been
impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written
instruments. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms
thereof except in connection with an assumption agreement and which assumption
agreement is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in
the Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(f) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the
defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury,
and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been
asserted with respect thereto, and the Mortgagor was not a debtor in any state
or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the Mortgage Loan was
originated;
(g) With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, all
buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property
are insured by an insurer acceptable under the FNMA Guides against loss by fire,
hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the
FNMA Guides or by FHLMC. All such standard hazard policies are in full force and
effect and on the date of origination contained a standard mortgagee clause
naming the Seller and its successors in interest and assigns as loss payee and
such clause is still in effect and all premiums due thereon have been paid. If
required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Mortgaged
Property is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration which policy conforms
to FNMA and FHLMC requirements. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder
to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the
Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain
such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement
therefor from the Mortgagor;
(h) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law
including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement
procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure
laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with in all material
respects;
(i) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled or subordinated, in
whole or in part, or rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released
from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part nor has any instrument been
executed that would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or
rescission;
(j) With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, the
Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first lien on the
Mortgaged Property, including, all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all
installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning
systems affixed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and
replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing securing the
Mortgage Note's original principal balance. The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note
do not contain any evidence of any security interest or other interest or right
thereto. Such lien is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and
encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to
(1) the lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments not
yet due and payable, (2) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording
which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and either (A)
which are referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the
originator of the Mortgage Loan, or (B) which do not adversely affect the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property as set forth in such appraisal, and
(3) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not
materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided
by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related
Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent
document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan
establishes and creates a valid, subsisting, enforceable and perfected first
lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein, and
the Depositor has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders;
47
(k) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are original and genuine
and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof,
enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency and other laws of general application affecting the rights of
creditors and the Depositor has taken all action necessary to transfer such
rights of enforceability to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had the
legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been
duly and property executed by such parties. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan
have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances
thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or
off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have
been complied with;
(l) The Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage
Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note, except for the
Assignments of Mortgage which have been sent for recording, and upon recordation
the Seller will be the owner of record of the Mortgage and the indebtedness
evidenced by the Mortgage Note, and upon the sale of the Mortgage Loan to the
Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Seller will retain the
Mortgage File or any part thereof with respect thereto not delivered to the
Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders or its designee in trust only
for the purpose of servicing and supervising the servicing of the Mortgage Loan.
Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment to the Trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage, were not subject to an assignment or pledge, and the Depositor had
good and marketable title to and was the sole owner thereof and had full right
to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge,
charge, claim or security interest and has the full right and authority subject
to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell
and assign the Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement and following the sale
of the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders will
own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation
interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest;
(m) With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, the
Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other
generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC,
issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and qualified to do
business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring
(subject to the exceptions contained in (j) (1), (2) and (3) above) the Seller,
its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. Such lender's title insurance
policy insures ingress and egress by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any
interest therein. Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has
been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title
insurance. The Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such
lender's title insurance policy, such title insurance policy has been duly and
validly endorsed to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders or the
assignment to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders of the
Seller's interest therein does not require the consent of or notification to the
insurer and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect and
will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's
title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including
the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the
coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;
48
(n) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
existent, under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which,
with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure
period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting
acceleration; and neither the Seller nor any prior mortgagee has waived any
default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration;
(o) There are no mechanics', or similar liens or claims which have been
filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law
could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property (or the
related residential dwelling unit in the Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the
case of a Co-op Loan) which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of
the related Mortgage;
(p) With respect to a Mortgage Loan which is not a Co-op Loan, all
improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and
building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property (and wholly within the
project with respect to a condominium unit) and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured
against by the title insurance policy referred to in clause (m) above and all
improvements on the property comply with all applicable zoning and subdivision
laws and ordinances; the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under
applicable law;
(q) The Mortgage Loan complies in all material respects with all the
terms, conditions and requirements of the Seller's underwriting standards in
effect at the time of origination of such Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Notes and
Mortgages (exclusive of any riders) are on forms generally acceptable to FNMA or
FHLMC. Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first
day of each month. The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable provisions of
the originator at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment of
the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged
Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder;
(r) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, the Mortgaged Property (or
Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), is not subject to
any material damage by waste, fire, earthquake, windstorm, flood or other
casualty. To the best of the Seller's knowledge, at origination of the Mortgage
Loan there was, and there currently is, no proceeding pending for the total or
partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged
Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan);
(s) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security
provided thereby, including, (l) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed
of trust, by trustee's sale, and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is
no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere
with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right
to foreclose the Mortgage;
(t) If the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized
and duly qualified if required under applicable law to act as such, has been
properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no
fees or expenses, except as may be required by local law, are or will become
payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in
connection with a trustee's sale or attempted sale after default by the
Mortgagor;
49
(u) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal or a recertification
document (in the case of a Mortgage Loan originated under Seller's Streamlined
Refinance Program) of the related Mortgaged Property (or the related residential
dwelling unit in the Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op
Loan), signed prior to the final approval of the mortgage loan application by an
appraiser approved by the Seller who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the
Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op
Loan), or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is
not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. The appraisal
is in a form acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC;
(v) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as
mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which
they held and disposed of such interest, were) (A) in substantial compliance
with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state
wherein the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of
a Co-op Loan), is located, and (B) (1) organized under the laws of such state,
or (2) qualified to do business in such state, or (3) federal savings and loan
associations or national banks or a Federal Home Loan Bank or savings bank
having principal offices in such state, or (4) not doing business in such state;
(w) The related Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any
collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security
interest of any applicable security interest of any applicable agreement or
chattel mortgage referred to above and such collateral does not serve as
security for any other obligation;
(x) The Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by
applicable law with respect to the making of such mortgage loans;
(y) The Mortgage Loan does not contain "graduated payment" features;
(z) The Mortgagor is not in bankruptcy and, to the best of the Seller's
knowledge, the Mortgagor is not insolvent;
(aa) The Mortgage Loans are fixed rate mortgage loans. Each Mortgage
Loan has an original term to maturity of not more than thirty (30) years, with
interest payable in arrears on the first day of each month. Each Mortgage Note
is payable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest which are
sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date. No
Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result in negative
amortization;
(bb) Each Mortgage Note, each Mortgage, each Assignment of Mortgage and
any other documents required pursuant to this Agreement to be delivered to the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders or its designee, or its assignee for
each Mortgage Loan, have been, on or before the Closing Date, delivered to the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders or its designee, or its assignee;
(cc) All escrow payments have been collected in full compliance with
state and federal law and the provisions of the related Mortgage Note and
Mortgage. As to any Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an escrow, escrow of
funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every escrowed item that remains unpaid and has been
assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow deposits or other charges or
payments due under the Mortgage Note have been capitalized under any Mortgage or
the related Mortgage Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state,
federal and local law has been properly paid and credited;
(dd) [Reserved];
50
(ee) In the event that at origination the Mortgage Loan has a
Loan-to-Value Ratio greater than 80%, the excess of the principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan over 75% of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, with
respect to a refinanced Mortgage Loan, or the lesser of the Appraised Value or
the purchase price of the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property,
in the case of a Co-op Loan), with respect to a purchase money Mortgage Loan, is
and will be insured as to payment defaults by a Primary Insurance Policy issued
by a Qualified Insurer, except where the primary mortgage insurance was (i)
impermissible under origination at applicable law, in which case such Mortgage
Loan was originated in accordance with applicable law, (ii) cancelled at the
request of the Mortgagor pursuant to the cancellation requirements of FNMA,
FHLMC, state law or, as applicable, the Home Owner and Equity Protection Act of
1994, as amended, or (iii) automatically terminated in accordance with the
termination requirements of FNMA, FHLMC, state law or, as applicable, the Home
Owner and Equity Protection Act of 1994, as amended. All provisions of such
Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is
in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No
action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists that has,
or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any
Mortgage Loan subject to a Primary Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain the Primary Insurance Policy and to pay all premiums and
charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set
forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium;
(ff) The Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable
for recording (or, in the case of a Co-op Loan, is in a form acceptable for
filing) under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property (or
underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) is located;
(gg) As to Mortgage Loans that are not secured by an interest in a
leasehold estate, the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in
the case of a Co-op Loan), is located in the state identified in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached
single family residence erected thereon, or a two-to four-family dwelling, or an
individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or a dwelling unit in a
residential cooperative housing corporation or an individual unit in an attached
planned unit development or a detached planned unit development, provided,
however, that no residence or dwelling is a single parcel of real property with
a mobile home thereon. As of the date of origination, no portion of the
Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op
Loan), was used for commercial purposes, and since the date of origination, to
the best of the Seller's knowledge, no portion of the Mortgaged Property (or
Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), is used for
commercial purposes;
(hh) If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a planned unit
development (other than a de minimis planned unit development), as of the date
of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, such condominium or planned unit
development project met the Seller's eligibility requirements, as set forth in
the Seller's underwriting guidelines as of such date; in the case of each Co-op
Loan, the related residential cooperative housing corporation complied in all
material respects with the Seller's requirements as set forth in the Seller's
underwriting guidelines as of such date;
(ii) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there is no pending action
or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged
Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan), in which compliance with any
environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue;
(jj) As of the Cut-off Date, the Seller has not granted any interest
rate relief to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act
of 1940, as amended.
(kk) No Mortgage Loan was made in connection with the construction or
rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the
case of a Co-op Loan), or facilitating the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged
Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan);
(ll) No action has been taken or failed to be taken by Depositor, on or
prior to the Closing Date, which has resulted or will result in an exclusion
from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any Primary Insurance Policy
(including, without limitation, any exclusions, denials or defenses which would
limit or reduce the availability of the timely payment of the full amount of the
loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured) whether arising out of actions,
representations, errors, omissions, negligence, or fraud of the Depositor, or
for any other reason under such coverage;
51
(mm) The Mortgage Loan was originated by a mortgagee approved by the
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of
the National Housing Act, as amended, a savings and loan association, a savings
bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar institution
which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority;
(nn) Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than
sixty (60) days after funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan.
The Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in equal monthly
installments of principal and interest, with interest calculated and payable in
arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity
date, over an original term of not more than thirty years from commencement of
amortization;
(oo) The Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (without regard to Treasury Regulations "
1.860G-2(f) or any similar rule that provides that a defective obligation is a
qualified mortgage for a temporary period); and
(pp) With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Co-op Loan, the stock
that is pledged as security for the Mortgage Loan is held by a person as a
tenant-stockholder (as defined in Section 216 of the Code) in a cooperative
housing corporation (as defined in Section 216 of the Code).
Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, either Servicer or the Trustee
of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which
materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the interest of
the Certificateholders (or which materially and adversely affects the interests
of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a
representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties
and to the Seller, which notice shall specify the date of discovery. Pursuant to
the Sale Agreement, the Seller shall within 90 days from the earlier of (i) the
date specified in the notice as the date of discovery of such breach or (ii) the
date the Seller otherwise discovers such breach, cure such breach, substitute a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.03 or, if the breach
relates to a particular Mortgage Loan, purchase such Mortgage Loan from the
Trustee at the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for the purchased Mortgage
Loan shall be paid to related Servicer and shall be deposited by such Servicer
in the related Collection Account promptly upon receipt, and, upon receipt by
the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing
Officer, the Trustee shall promptly release to the Seller the related Mortgage
File, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment as may be provided to it by the related Servicer, without recourse,
as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee, as the case may be,
any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall have no
further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage Loan. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure, substitute or purchase any
Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such breach available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on
behalf of Certificateholders.
Section 3.02. Representations and Warranties of Each Servicer. Each
Servicer represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders that as of the Closing Date:
(a) Such Servicer is a corporation duly chartered and validly existing
(or duly organized in the case of Countrywide) in good standing under the laws
of the state of its incorporation, and such Servicer is duly qualified or
registered as a foreign corporation in good standing in such jurisdiction in
which the ownership or lease or its properties or the conduct of its business
requires such qualification;
52
(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Servicer and
its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not violate
such Servicer's corporate charter or by-laws or constitute a default (or an
event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default)
under, or result in the breach of, any material contract, agreement or other
instrument to which such Servicer is a party or which may be applicable to such
Servicer or any of its assets;
(c) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery
by the Trustee, the other Servicer and the Depositor, constitutes a valid, legal
and binding obligation of such Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance
with the terms hereof subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and to general principles of equity, regardless of
whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;
(d) Such Servicer is not in default with respect to any order or decree
of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal
or governmental agency, which default might have consequences that would
materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or operations
of such Servicer or its properties or might have consequences that would affect
its performance hereunder; and
(e) No litigation is pending or, to the best of such Servicer's
knowledge, threatened against such Servicer which would prohibit its entering
into this Agreement or performing its obligations under this Agreement.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 3.02 shall survive the issuance and delivery of the
Certificates and shall be continuing as long as any Certificate shall be
outstanding or this Agreement has been terminated.
Section 3.03. Option to Substitute. If the Seller is required to
repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 3.01, the Seller may,
at its option, within two years from the Closing Date, remove such defective
Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and substitute another mortgage
loan for such defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of repurchasing such defective
Mortgage Loan. Any substitute Mortgage Loan shall (a) have a Principal Balance
at the time of substitution not in excess of the Principal Balance of the
removed Mortgage Loan (the amount of any difference, plus one month's interest
thereon at the Mortgage Rate borne by the removed Mortgage Loan, being paid by
the Seller and deemed to be a Principal Prepayment to be deposited by the
related Servicer in the related Collection Account), (b) have a Mortgage Rate
not less than, and not more than one percentage point greater than, the Mortgage
Rate of the removed Mortgage Loan (provided, however, that if the Mortgage Rate
on the substitute Mortgage Loan exceeds the Mortgage Rate on the removed
Mortgage Loan, the amount of that excess interest (the "Substitute Excess
Interest") shall be payable to the Subsidiary Residual Interest), (c) have a
remaining term to stated maturity not later than, and not more than one year
less than, the remaining term to stated maturity of the removed Mortgage Loan,
(d) be, in the reasonable determination of the related Servicer, of the same
type, quality and character (including location of the Mortgaged Property (or
Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan)) as the removed
Mortgage Loan as if the breach had not occurred, (e) have a Loan-to-Value Ratio
at origination no greater than that of the removed Mortgage Loan and (f) be, in
the reasonable determination of the Seller, in material compliance with the
representations and warranties contained in the Sale Agreement and described in
Section 3.01, as of the date of substitution.
53
The Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the
withdrawal of the removed Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution
of such substitute Mortgage Loan therefor and shall send a copy of such amended
Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. The Sale Agreement provides that upon
such amendment the Seller shall be deemed to have made as to such substitute
Mortgage Loan the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01 as of
the date of such substitution, which shall be continuing as long as any
Certificate shall be outstanding or this Agreement has not been terminated, and
the remedies for breach of any such representation or warranty shall be as set
forth in Section 3.01. Upon such amendment, the Trustee shall review the
Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage Loan, within
the time and in the manner and with the remedies specified in Section 2.02,
except that for purposes of this Section 3.03 (other than the two-year period
specified in the first sentence of this Section), such time shall be measured
from the date of the applicable substitution. In the event of such a
substitution, accrued interest on the substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in
which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during
such month shall be the property of the Trust Fund, and accrued interest for
such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any
Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of
the Seller. The principal payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due
Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Seller, and the
principal payment on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on
such date shall be the property of the Trust Fund.

(1) The Class A-2 and Class A-X Certificates have no Principal Balance, but
accrue interest on the Class A-2 Notional Amount and Class A-X Notional
Amount, respectively (initially, $33,647,272 and $568,014,679.30,
respectively).
(2) The Class A-22 and Class A-P Certificates are principal only certificates
and are not entitled to payments of interest.
(3) The Class A-R Certificate represents the Master Residual Interest and the
Subsidiary Residual Interest.
56
The Certificates shall be signed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of the Depositor by an officer of the Depositor. Certificates bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at the time of signature
officers of the Depositor shall bind the Depositor, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to be an officer prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Certificate or did not hold such offices at
the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such
Certificate a manual authentication by an officer of the Trustee (or, if an
Authenticating Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 4.06, the
Authenticating Agent) and such authentication upon any Certificate shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date
of their authentication.
Section 4.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed hereunder
pursuant to Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, shall cause to be kept 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.
(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at
any office or agency of the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed
under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, maintained for such purpose, the Depositor
shall execute and the Trustee (or, if an Authenticating Agent is appointed under
Section 4.06, the Authenticating Agent) shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, a Certificate of a like Class
and aggregate Percentage Interest and dated the date of authentication.
(c) No transfer of a Class A-X, Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5
Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective
registration statement or otherwise in accordance with the requirements under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If such a transfer is to be made in
reliance upon an exemption from said Act, (i) the Depositor may require (except
with respect to the initial transfer of a Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5
Certificate from Countrywide Securities Corporation and except if the transferee
executes a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto) a written
opinion of independent counsel acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an
exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said
Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which opinion of
counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor or
either Servicer, and (ii) the Depositor shall require the transferee to execute
a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit H or Exhibit I.
(d) No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate or the Class A-R
Certificate shall be made unless the Depositor shall have received either (i) a
representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit M, from the
transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Depositor, to the effect that (A) such transferee is not an
employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code or materially similar provisions of applicable federal, state or local law
("Similar Law"), or a person acting on behalf of any such plan or using the
assets of such plan, or alternatively, (B) in the case of an ERISA Restricted
Certificate only, such transferee is an insurance company and the source of
funds for the purchase of such Certificate is an "insurance company general
account" within the meaning of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60
("PTCE 95-60"), 60 Fed. Reg. 35925 (July 12, 1995), and the acquisition and
holding of such Certificate is exempt under PTCE 95-60, which representation
letter shall not be an expense of the Master Servicer, Trustee, the Depositor or
either Servicer, or (ii) in the case of an ERISA Restricted Certificate
presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law (or comparable provisions of
any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other Person
who is using the assets of any such plan to effect such acquisition, an Opinion
of Counsel or such other representation as required by and satisfactory to the
Depositor to the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA Restricted
Certificate will not result in the assets of the Trust Fund being deemed to be
"plan assets" pursuant to the Department of Labor Plan Asset Regulations set
forth in 29 C.F.R. "2510.3-101 or to be subject to the fiduciary responsibility
provisions of ERISA or the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or the
Code or Similar Law, will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction
within the meaning of Section 406 or Section 407 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code or Similar Law, and will not subject the Trustee, the Depositor or either
Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement,
which opinion of counsel or other representation shall not be an expense of the
Master Servicer Trustee, the Depositor or either Servicer.
57
(e) At the option of a Certificateholder, a Certificate may be
exchanged for another Certificate or Certificates of authorized denominations of
a like Class, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at any office or
agency of the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section
4.05, the Paying Agent, maintained for such purpose. Whenever the Certificate is
so surrendered for exchange, the Depositor shall execute and the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Certificate 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
Authenticating Agent) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Authenticating Agent duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(f) No service charge shall be made to the Holder for any transfer or
exchange of a Certificate, but the Trustee may require payment by the
Certificateholders of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of such
Certificate.
(g) All Certificates surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be
destroyed by the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section
4.05, the Paying Agent, in accordance with the Trustee's or, if a Paying Agent
has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent's, standard procedures.
(h) At the option of the Holder of the Class A-R Certificate, the
Subsidiary Residual Interest and the Master Residual Interest may be severed and
represented by separate certificates; provided, however, that such separate
certification may not occur until the Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that separate certification in the form and manner proposed would not
result in the imposition of federal tax upon either REMIC Pool or cause either
REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC; and provided further, that the
provisions of this Section 4.02 and 7.02(b) will apply to each such separate
certificate as if the separate certificate were a Class A-R Certificate. If, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, it is necessary to preserve the REMIC status
of either REMIC Pool, the Subsidiary Residual Interest and the Master Residual
Interest shall be severed and represented by separate Certificates.
(i) A Disqualified Organization is prohibited from acquiring beneficial
ownership of a Class A-R Certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, (i) unless and until the Master Servicer shall have received
an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to it in form and substance, to the effect
that the absence of the conditions contained in this Section 4.02(i) would not
result in the imposition of federal tax upon either REMIC Pool or cause either
REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC, no transfer, sale or other disposition
of the Class A-R Certificate (including for purposes of this section any
beneficial interest therein) may be made without the express written consent of
the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the
Trustee, which consent is to be granted by the Certificate Registrar or, if no
Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee only upon compliance with the
requirements of this Section and (ii) no transfer, sale or other disposition of
the Class A-R Certificate (or any beneficial interest therein) may be made to a
Person who is not a U.S. Person unless such Person furnishes the transferor and
the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the
Trustee, with a duly completed and effective Form W-8ECI (or any successor
thereto) or an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the transfer will not be
disregarded for federal income tax purposes. As a condition to granting its
consent to a transfer of a Class A-R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar or,
if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee, shall require the
proposed transferee of such Certificate (including, in the case of the initial
issuance of the Class A-R Certificate, the initial Holder thereof) to execute a
letter and affidavit substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K. In
the absence of a contrary instruction from the transferor of such Certificate,
declaration (11) in such affidavit may be left blank. If the transferor requests
by written notice to the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar
is appointed, the Trustee, prior to the date of the proposed transfer that one
of the two other forms of declaration (11) of such affidavit be used, then the
Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee,
shall require that such form of declaration (11) be included in such affidavit.
58
As a condition to the granting of the consent referred to in this
Section 4.02(i), prior to the transfer, sale, pledge, hypothecation or other
disposition of the Class A-R Certificate or any interest therein, the
Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee
shall require that (1) the proposed transferee deliver to the Trustee its
taxpayer identification number and state, under penalties of perjury that such
number is the social security or employer identification number, as the case may
be, of the transferee or provide an affidavit under penalties of perjury stating
that as of the date of such transfer such transferee is not and has no intention
of becoming a Disqualified Organization; (2) the proposed transferee deliver to
the Trustee an affidavit stating (i) that such transferee is not acquiring such
Class A-R Certificate as an agent, broker, nominee, or middleman for a
Disqualified Organization, (ii) if the Class A-R Certificate is a "non-economic
residual interest" within the meaning of Treas. Reg. "1.860E-1(c)(2), (X) that
no purpose of the acquisition of the Class A-R Certificate is to avoid or impede
the assessment or collection of tax, (Y) that such transferee has historically
paid its debts as they came due and will continue to pay its debts as they come
due, and (Z) that such transferee represents that it understands that, as the
holder of the non-economic residual interest, the transferee may incur tax
liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the interest and that the
transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the residual interest,
and (iii) unless the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is
appointed, the Trustee consents to the transfer of the Class A-R Certificate to
a Person who is not a U.S. Person and who has furnished either a duly completed
and effective Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto) or an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that the transfer will not be disregarded for federal income tax
purposes, that it is a U.S. Person; (3) if so requested by the transferor in
written notice provided to the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate
Registrar is appointed, the Trustee, prior to the date of the proposed transfer,
the proposed transferee deliver to the Trustee an affidavit that includes a
declaration made in the form of declaration (11) in the affidavit set forth in
Exhibit K requested by the transferor; and (4) the transferor deliver to the
Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee
a written certification that as of the date of such transfer it has no knowledge
and no reason to know that the affirmations described in clauses (1), (2) and
(3) were false. The Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is
appointed, the Trustee shall not grant the consent referred to in this Section
4.02(i) if it has actual knowledge that any statement made in the affidavit
issued pursuant to the preceding sentence is not true. Notwithstanding any
purported transfer, sale or other disposition of the Class A-R Certificate to a
Disqualified Organization, such transfer, sale or other disposition shall be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified
Organization shall not be deemed to be a Class A-R Certificateholder for any
purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions
on such Class A-R Certificate. If any purported transfer shall be in violation
of the provisions of this Section 4.02(i) then the prior holder of the Class A-R
Certificate shall, upon discovery that the transfer of such Class A-R
Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 4.02(i), be restored to
all rights and obligations as a Holder thereof retroactive to the date of the
purported transfer of such Class A-R Certificate. The Trustee and the Master
Servicer shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration or
transfer of a Class A-R Certificate that is not permitted by this Section
4.02(i) or for making payments due on such Class A-R Certificate to the
purported Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such
purported Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer
was not registered under the written certification of the Certificate Registrar
or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee as described in this
Section 4.02(i). The prior Holder shall be entitled to recover from any
purported Holder of a Class A-R Certificate that was in fact not a permitted
purported transferee under this Section 4.02(i) at the time it became a
purported Holder all payments made to such purported Holder on such Class A-R
Certificate; provided that the Servicer shall not be responsible for such
recovery. Each Class A-R Certificateholder, by the acceptance of the Class A-R
Certificate, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the
provisions of this Section 4.02(i) and to any amendment to this Agreement deemed
necessary by counsel of the Trustee or the Servicer to ensure that the Class A-R
Certificate is not transferred to a Disqualified Organization and that any
transfer of such Class A-R Certificate will not cause the imposition of a tax
upon either REMIC Pool or cause either REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
The restrictions on transfer of the Class A-R Certificate will cease to apply
and be void upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate
Registrar is appointed, the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
such restrictions on transfer are no longer necessary to avoid the risk of
material federal taxation to either REMIC Pool or prevent either REMIC Pool from
qualifying as a REMIC.
59
(j) The Master Servicer shall make available upon written request to
each Holder and each proposed transferee of a Class A-X, Class B-3, Class B-4 or
Class B-5 Certificate such information as may be required to permit the proposed
transfer to be effected pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.
Section 4.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent
has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, or the Trustee or, if a
Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has
been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, such security or indemnity
as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of notice to
the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the
Paying Agent, that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the
Paying Agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any
such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
tenor and Class. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section,
the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the
Paying Agent, may require of the Certificateholder the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. Any replacement
Certificate of any Class issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute
complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership of the Percentage Interest in
the distributions to which the Certificateholders of such Class are entitled, as
if originally issued, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate shall be found at any time, and such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate shall be of no force or effect under this Agreement, to the
extent permitted by law.
Section 4.04. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate of any Class for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Paying Agent and the Trustee may treat the person in whose name
any Certificate is registered on the Record Date as the owner of such
Certificate and the Percentage Interest in the distributions to which the
Certificateholders of such Class are entitled on the relevant date as the Holder
of such Certificate and the Percentage Interest represented by such Certificate
for the purpose of receiving remittances pursuant to Section 6.01 and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Servicers nor the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 4.05. Appointment of Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar;
Certificate Account. The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent and a Certificate
Registrar hereunder, but such Paying Agent and such Certificate Registrar shall
not be the Depositor, the Seller, or an Affiliate of the Depositor or the Seller
unless such Paying Agent or such Certificate Registrar is the Corporate Trust
Department of Chase. In the event of an appointment of such Paying Agent, no
later than two Business Days prior to each Distribution Date, each Servicer
shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent from funds on
deposit in the related Collection Account a sum up to the portion of the
Available Distribution Amount relating to the Mortgage Loans serviced by such
Servicer, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of Certificateholders in
a segregated account (the "Certificate Account") which shall be an Eligible
Account in the name of "Citibank, N.A., as Trustee, in trust for and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders of Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Chase Mortgage Finance Corporation, Series 2002-S4 Certificate
Account". The Master Servicer shall cause the Paying Agent to perform each of
the obligations of the Paying Agent set forth herein and shall be liable to the
Trustee and the Certificateholders for failure of the Paying Agent to perform
such obligations. If the Paying Agent is a party other than the Trustee, the
Trustee shall have no liability in connection with the performance or failure of
performance of the Paying Agent. The Trustee designates the Corporate Trust
Department of Chase as the initial Paying Agent and initial Certificate
Registrar. Only the Trustee may remove the Paying Agent and the Certificate
Registrar, and may do so at will.
60
If, on any Distribution Date, the Paying Agent fails to distribute to
Certificateholders the amounts then on deposit in the Certificate Account for
the purposes specified herein, the Trustee shall be obligated promptly upon its
knowledge thereof to distribute such amounts to Certificateholders in the manner
and in such amounts based upon information provided by the Servicers; provided
that in no event shall the Trustee be obligated for purposes of this paragraph
to distribute to Certificateholders any amounts other than those on deposit in
the Certificate Account or expend any funds not reimbursable pursuant to Section
10.05 hereof, except as otherwise provided herein. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall be liable to the Servicers and
the Certificateholders only for its negligence in connection with the withdrawal
of funds from the Certificate Account by the Trustee and the distribution of
such funds by the Trustee to Certificateholders pursuant to this paragraph.
The Master Servicer shall cause each Paying Agent other than the
Trustee to execute and deliver to the Master Servicer and the Trustee on the
Closing Date or, if subsequently appointed, on the date of appointment, a
written instrument executed by an officer of the Paying Agent in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Master Servicer and the Trustee that such
Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to Certificateholders
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such
sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders.
Section 4.06. Authenticating Agents. (a) The Trustee may appoint one or
more Authenticating Agents (each, an "Authenticating Agent") which shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating the Certificates.
Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of
Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such
reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by
an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf
of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent must be an
entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. If the
Authenticating Agent is a party other than the Trustee, the Trustee shall have
no liability in connection with the performance or failure of performance of the
Authenticating Agent. The Trustee hereby appoints Chase as the initial
Authenticating Agent.
(b) Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any
Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee
or the Authenticating Agent.
61
(c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least
30 days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Depositor.
The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the
Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or
in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance within the provisions of this Section 4.06, the Trustee may appoint a
successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to
the Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of
Certificates. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties
and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent
shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 4.06. No
Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken
by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Any Authenticating Agent shall be
entitled to reasonable compensation for its services and any such compensation
shall be payable solely by the Trustee, without any right of reimbursement from
the Depositor, the Servicers or the Trust Fund.

ARTICLE V
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 5.01. Servicers to Service Mortgage Loans. Each of CMMC and
Countrywide shall service and administer the CMMC Serviced Mortgage Loans and
the Countrywide Serviced Mortgage Loans, respectively, and each shall have full
power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in
Section 5.02, to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable
in connection with such servicing and administration, all in accordance with
Accepted Servicing Practices. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer shall, pursuant
to a power of attorney granted hereby by the Trustee for such purposes, when
such Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate
in its best judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and all
other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans serviced by
such Servicer and with respect to the related Mortgaged Properties; provided,
however, that subject to the provisions of this paragraph, each Servicer may
allow a modification with respect to a Mortgage Loan serviced by such Servicer
if such Servicer would take such action in the ordinary course of its business
if it were the owner of the Mortgage Loan. Either Servicer may agree to a
modification of any Mortgage Loan serviced by such Servicer (the "Relevant
Mortgage Loan") upon the request of the related Mortgagor, provided that (i) the
modification is in lieu of a refinancing and the Mortgage Rate on the Relevant
Mortgage Loan, as modified, is approximately a prevailing market rate of
newly-originated mortgage loans having similar terms, (ii) the aggregate of the
adjusted bases of all Modified Mortgage Loans (including the Relevant Mortgage
Loans) plus the aggregate adjusted bases of any assets that are not qualified
mortgages or permitted investments under Section 860G(a) of the Code that are
assets of the Trust Fund established hereunder at all times on any day is less
than one percent of the aggregate of the adjusted bases of all assets of the
Trust Fund (including such Modified Mortgage Loans) on such day, and (iii) such
Servicer purchases the Relevant Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund as described
below. Effective immediately after such modification, and, in any event, on the
same Business Day on which the modification occurs, all right, title and
interest of the Trustee in and to the Modified Mortgage Loan shall automatically
be deemed transferred and assigned to the related Servicer and all benefits and
burdens of ownership thereof, including without limitation the right to accrued
interest thereon from and including the date of modification and the risk of
default thereon, shall pass to such Servicer. To confirm such transfer and
assignment, the related Servicer, as a servicer hereunder, as soon as
practicable shall execute an instrument of assignment of the Modified Mortgage
Loan without recourse in customary form to such Servicer in its individual
capacity. The related Servicer shall deposit the Purchase Price for any Modified
Mortgage Loan in the related Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.08. Upon
receipt by the Trustee of written notification of any such deposit signed by a
Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall release to the applicable Servicer the
related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer
or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary more fully
to vest in such Servicer any Modified Mortgage Loan previously transferred and
assigned pursuant thereto.
62
Each Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee for execution and redelivery
to such Servicer or, at the request of such Servicer, a Sub-Servicer, such
documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Servicer to service and
administer the Mortgage Loans and the Trustee shall not be responsible for such
Servicer's application thereof. Each Servicer agrees to remain eligible as
either a FNMA or FHLMC seller/servicer, or both, for so long as it is a
Servicer.
All Servicing Advances made by the Servicers in effecting the timely
payment of taxes, insurance and assessments on the properties subject to the
Mortgage Loans shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions
to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage
Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit, and such
Servicing Advances shall be recoverable by the applicable Servicer to the extent
permitted by Sections 5.09 and 5.23.
Section 5.02. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Servicers and
Sub-Servicers; Enforcement of Sub-Servicer's Obligations.
(a) Each Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with
Sub-Servicers for the servicing and administration of all or part of the
Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicer. References in this Agreement to
actions taken or to be taken by either Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans
serviced by such Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer
on behalf of such Servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement will be upon such terms
and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the applicable
Servicer and the Sub-Servicer have agreed. Each Servicer hereby agrees to notify
the Trustee in writing promptly upon the appointment of any Sub-Servicer. For
purposes of this Agreement, the receipt by a Sub-Servicer of any amount with
respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than amounts representing servicing
compensation or reimbursement for an advance) shall be treated as the receipt by
the related Servicer of such amount. Any Sub-Servicer shall deposit all such
funds in an Eligible Account.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, each Servicer, for
the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the
obligations of each Sub-Servicer appointed by such Servicer under the related
Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the
legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing 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 applicable Servicer, in
its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related
Mortgage Loans. The applicable 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 Mortgage Loans or
(ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the
party against whom such enforcement is directed.
63
Section 5.03. Successor Sub-Servicers. Each Servicer shall be entitled
to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may exist in accordance with the
terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement and without any limitation
by virtue of this Agreement.
Section 5.04. Liability of the Servicers. Notwithstanding any
Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between either Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or
reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the applicable
Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and Certificateholders
for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability
by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same
terms and conditions as if such Servicer alone were servicing and administering
the Mortgage Loans. Each Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with a Sub-Servicer for indemnification of such Servicer and nothing contained
in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
Section 5.05. No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicer and
Trustee or Certificateholders. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered
into and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans
involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall
be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the applicable Servicer alone, and
the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the other Servicer and Certificateholders
shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights,
obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer.
Section 5.06. Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreement. If either
Servicer shall for any reason no longer be a Servicer hereunder (including by
reason of any Event of Default), such Servicer shall thereupon terminate each
Sub-Servicing Agreement that may have been entered into, and the Trustee, its
designee or the successor servicer and the Trustee shall not be deemed to have
assumed any of such Servicer's interest therein or to have replaced such
Servicer as a party to any such Sub-Servicing Agreement.
Section 5.07. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. Continuously from
the date hereof until the principal and interest on all Mortgage Loans are paid
in full, each Servicer will proceed diligently to collect all payments due under
each of the related Mortgage Loans when the same shall become due and payable;
provided, however, that each Servicer may elect, to the extent consistent with
Accepted Servicing Practices, to waive any late payment charge and shall, to the
extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement, follow such
collection procedures as it follows with respect to conventional mortgage loans
held in its own portfolio. Any such arrangements shall not diminish or otherwise
affect either Servicer's obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 6.03.
Section 5.08. Establishment of Collection Accounts; Deposit in
Collection Account. With respect to all of the Mortgage Loans, each Servicer
shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage
Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall
establish and maintain one or more Collection Accounts for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (each, a "Collection Account" and collectively, the
"Collection Accounts") which are Eligible Accounts, in the form of a trust
account, in the name of "Citibank, N.A., as Trustee, in trust for and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders of Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Chase Manhattan Mortgage Corporation as Servicer, Chase Mortgage
Finance Corporation, Series 2002-S4 - Collection Account." Such Collection
Accounts shall be established with a commercial bank, a savings bank or a
savings and loan association. Each Servicer may invest, or cause the institution
maintaining the applicable Collection Account to invest moneys in such
Collection Account in Eligible Investments, which shall mature not later than
the second Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date next following the
date of such investment and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its
maturity. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the
benefit of the related Servicer as additional compensation and shall be subject
to its withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred
in respect of any such investments (to the extent not offset by income from
other such investments) shall be deposited in the applicable Collection Account
by the related Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized; provided,
however, that if the Trustee becomes a Servicer, the Trustee shall not be
required to deposit the amount of any loss incurred prior to it becoming a
Servicer.
64
Each Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in applicable
Collection Account on a daily basis (and not later than the second Business Day
following receipt), and retain therein:
(a) All payments which were received after the Cut-off Date on
account of principal of the Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicer (other than
the principal portion of Monthly Payments due on or before the Cut-off Date),
and all Principal Prepayments collected on or after the Cut-off Date;
(b) All payments which were received after the Cut-off Date on
account of interest on the Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicer (net of the
Servicing Fee)(other than the interest portion of Monthly Payments due on or
before the Cut-off Date);
(c) Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the Mortgage Loans
serviced by such Servicer;
(d) All Insurance Proceeds with respect to the Mortgage Loans
serviced by such Servicer received by such Servicer under any title, hazard or
other insurance policy, including amounts required to be deposited pursuant to
Sections 5.16 and 5.20, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow Account or
applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property (or Underlying
Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) or released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with such Servicer's normal servicing procedures or otherwise applied
or held as required by applicable law;
(e) All awards or settlements in respect of condemnation
proceedings affecting any Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property,
in the case of a Co-op Loan), with respect to any Mortgage Loan serviced by such
Servicer which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the
Servicer's normal servicing procedures;
(f) All Repurchase Proceeds with respect to the Mortgage Loans
serviced by such Servicer;
(g) All Advances made by such Servicer pursuant to Section
6.03;
(h) All amounts representing revenues under the insurance
maintained by such Servicer provided pursuant to Section 5.19 to the extent of
any losses borne by any Certificateholder;
(i) All revenues from any Mortgaged Property with respect to
any Mortgage Loan serviced by such Servicer acquired by such Servicer by
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure net of any Servicing Advances with
respect to such Mortgaged Property; and
(j) Any other amounts required to be deposited therein pursuant
to this Agreement.
65
Each Servicer shall maintain accounting records on a Mortgage Loan by
Mortgage Loan basis with respect to the applicable Collection Account. Each
Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor
and each Rating Agency of any change in the location of its Collection Account,
prior to the use thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no
Monthly Payment or any portion thereof shall be permitted to remain in either
Collection Account for more than 12 months. Any Monthly Payment or any portion
thereof that has remained in either Collection Account for 12 months shall be
deemed a Principal Prepayment and distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement on the Distribution Date immediately following
the end of such 12 month period.
Section 5.09. Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Accounts. Each
Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw funds from the applicable Collection
Account for the following purposes:
(a) to reimburse itself for Advances made pursuant to Section
6.03 (including amounts to reimburse the related Sub-Servicer for advances made
pursuant to the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement), such Servicer's and the
related Sub-Servicer's right to receive reimbursement pursuant to this subclause
(i) being limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loans serviced by
such Servicer which represent Late Collections (net of applicable Servicing
Fees) with respect to those particular Mortgage Loans;
(b) to pay itself the Servicing Fee relating to the Mortgage
Loans serviced by such Servicer;
(c) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, or
to pay the related Sub-Servicer any unreimbursed Servicing Advances, such
Servicer's right to receive reimbursement or make payments to the Sub-Servicer
pursuant to this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan serviced by
such Servicer being limited to related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds,
and condemnation awards;
(d) to reimburse itself (or the related Sub-Servicer) or the
Depositor for expenses incurred by and recoverable by or reimbursable to it
pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.16;
(e) to reimburse itself (or the related Sub-Servicer) for any
Nonrecoverable Advances;
(f) to pay to itself (or the related Sub-Servicer) income
earned on the investment of funds deposited in such Collection Account;
(g) to make deposits into the Certificate Account in the
amounts and in the manner provided for herein;
(h) to make payments to itself or others pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, and to clear and terminate such Collection Account
upon the termination of this Agreement; and
(i) to withdraw amounts deposited in error.
66
Section 5.10. Establishment of Escrow Account; Deposits in Escrow
Account. With respect to those Mortgage Loans on which either Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer collects Escrow Payments, if any, such Servicer shall, and shall
cause any Sub-Servicer to, segregate and hold all funds collected and received
pursuant to each such Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate
and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and
maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of trust accounts. Such Escrow
Accounts shall be established with a commercial bank, a mutual savings bank or a
savings and loan association the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC in a
manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder, and which may
be drawn on by the applicable Servicer. Each Servicer shall give notice to the
Trustee of the location of any Escrow Account, and of any change thereof, prior
to the use thereof. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to require either
Servicer to collect Escrow Payments in the absence of a provision in the related
Mortgage requiring such collection.
Each Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in any Escrow
Account or Accounts on a daily basis, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow
Payments collected on account of any Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicer,
for the purpose of effecting timely payment of any such items as required under
the terms of this Agreement and (ii) all amounts representing proceeds of any
hazard insurance policy which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of
any related Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of
a Co-op Loan). Each Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect
such payments as are required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes
as are set forth in Section 5.11. Each Servicer shall be entitled to retain any
interest paid on funds deposited in any Escrow Account by the depository
institution other than interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to
the related Mortgagor and, to the extent required by law, the applicable
Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed funds to the related Mortgagor
notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is non-interest-bearing or that interest
paid thereon is insufficient for such purposes.
Section 5.11. Permitted Withdrawals from Escrow Account. Withdrawals
from any Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by a Servicer only (i) to effect
timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates, Standard
Hazard Policy premiums, or other items constituting Escrow Payments for the
related Mortgage, (ii) to reimburse such Servicer for any Servicing Advance made
by such Servicer, with respect to a related Mortgage Loan but only from amounts
received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late payments or
collections of Escrow Payments thereunder, (iii) to refund to any Mortgagor any
funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the terms of the
related Mortgage Loan or under applicable law, (iv) for application to
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage, (v) to
pay to such Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any
interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, (vi) to clear and
terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement or (vii) to
withdraw amounts deposited in error.
Section 5.12. Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges. With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, each Servicer shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained, accurate records reflecting any delinquencies or nonpayments with
regard to taxes, assessments and Standard Hazard Policy premiums. Each Servicer
assumes full responsibility for ensuring the payment of all such bills and shall
effect payments of all such bills irrespective of each Mortgagor's faithful
performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and
shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
Section 5.13. Transfer of Accounts. Each Servicer may transfer the
Collection Accounts or Escrow Accounts to an Eligible Account maintained with a
different depository institution from time to time.
Section 5.14. [Reserved].
67
Section 5.15. Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies. Neither
Servicer shall take, or permit any related Sub-Servicer to take, any action
which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy
of any loss which, but for the actions of such Servicer or Sub-Servicer, would
have been covered thereunder. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, to
the extent coverage is available and until the Loan-to-Value Ratio of the
related Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%, each Servicer shall keep or cause to be
kept in full force and effect each such Primary Insurance Policy in an amount
equal to the amount by which the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan exceeds 75% of the value (as described in the definition of
Loan-to-Value Ratio) of the related Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged
Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan). Neither Servicer shall cancel or refuse
to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy or consent to any related
Sub-Servicer canceling or refusing to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy
applicable to a Mortgage Loan subserviced by it, that is in effect at the date
of the initial issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force
hereunder unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or
non-renewed policy is maintained with an insurer whose claims-paying ability is
rated at least as high as the original insurer or is acceptable to each Rating
Agency as confirmed in writing by each such Rating Agency, unless otherwise
required by law.
Section 5.16. Maintenance of Standard Hazard Policies.
(a) Each Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan
(other than a Co-op Loan) serviced by such Servicer a Standard Hazard Policy
with extended coverage as is prudent in the area where the Mortgaged Property is
located in an amount which is equal to the greater of (i) the lesser of (A) 100%
of the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan
or (B) the principal balance owing on such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) such amount
required to prevent the Mortgagor or mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If
the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified at the time of origination in
the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) the
applicable Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting
the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount
representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the full insurable value or (iii) the maximum
amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, as amended. Each Servicer shall also maintain on property acquired upon
foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan serviced by
it, fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is not
less than the lesser of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan or (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of
such property, liability insurance, and, to the extent available, flood
insurance in an amount as provided above. Any amounts collected by a Servicer
under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or
repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or property acquired in
liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or released to the Mortgagor in accordance
with such Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited, subject to
applicable law, in the applicable Collection Account. It is understood and
agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need be required by
either Servicer of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect
of a Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations
as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.
All such Standard Hazard Policies and other policies shall be endorsed with
standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the related Servicer or its
designee. Any such Standard Hazard Policies or other policies may be in the form
of blanket policies; provided, however, that in the event of any claim arising
in connection with a hazard loss such Servicer shall be obligated, in the case
of blanket insurance policies, to deposit in the applicable Collection Account
any amount not payable under such blanket policy because of a deductible clause
in such policy and not otherwise payable under an individual policy. Neither
Servicer shall interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting
either his insurance carrier or agent; provided, however, that neither Servicer
shall accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such
companies are acceptable insurers in the discretion of the related Servicer.
(b) Any cost incurred by either Servicer in maintaining any of the
foregoing insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the
related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the related Mortgage
Loan so permit. Such costs (other than the costs of maintaining a blanket hazard
insurance policy not attributable to a specific Mortgaged Property) shall be
recoverable by the applicable Servicer from the Mortgagor or out of Insurance
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds or to the extent permitted by Section 5.09.
68
Section 5.17. [Reserved].
Section 5.18. [Reserved].
Section 5.19. Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance. Each
Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond and an
errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with responsible
companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting on behalf of such
Servicer in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans serviced by such
Servicer to handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to such Mortgage
Loans. Any such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall protect
and insure such Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement,
fraud, errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons and shall be
maintained at a level acceptable to FNMA. No provision of this Section 5.19
requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish
or relieve either Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this
Agreement. Upon request of the Trustee, each Servicer shall cause to be
delivered to the Trustee a certification evidencing coverage under such fidelity
bond and insurance policy. Promptly upon receipt by either Servicer of any
notice from the surety or the insurer that such fidelity bond or insurance
policy has been terminated or modified in a materially adverse manner, such
Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency of
any such termination or modification.
Section 5.20. Collections under Insurance Policies; Enforcement of
Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
(a) In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of
the Mortgage Loans, each Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the
Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Standard
Hazard Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be
necessary to permit recovery under any insurance policies. Pursuant to Section
5.08, each Servicer shall deposit Insurance Proceeds in the applicable
Collection Account.
(b) When any Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit,
in the case of a Co-op Loan) is conveyed by the Mortgagor, the related Servicer
shall enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage,
to the extent permitted by such Mortgage Note or Mortgage, applicable law and
governmental regulations. Subject to the foregoing, each Servicer is authorized
to take or enter into an assumption or substitution agreement from or with the
Person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed. In connection
with such assumption or substitution, the applicable Servicer shall apply such
underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be
normal and usual and as it applies to mortgage loans owned solely by it.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this
Agreement, neither Servicer shall be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any conveyance by the
Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in
the case of a Co-op Loan) or any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of
law which the applicable Servicer in good faith determines it may be restricted
by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
(c) Subject to each Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause
to the effect set forth in Section 5.20(b), in any case in which a Mortgaged
Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) is
to be conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into an
assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage, the applicable Servicer shall so notify the Trustee by
forwarding to the Trustee the original copy of such assumption or substitution
agreement, which copy shall be added by the Trustee to the related Mortgage File
and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the
same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
In connection with any such assumption, modification agreement or substitution
agreement, the interest rate of the related Mortgage Note shall not be changed,
the principal amount of the Mortgage Note shall not be increased or decreased
and the maturity of the Mortgage Note shall not be extended, nor shall it be
shortened by more than one year. Any fee collected by either Servicer for
entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement with respect
to such Mortgage Loan shall be retained by such Servicer as additional servicing

Section 5.21. Income and Realization from Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
Each Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties (or stock allocated to
a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) securing such of the Mortgage
Loans serviced by such Servicer as come into and continue in default and as to
which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments pursuant to Section 5.07, shall manage, conserve, protect and operate
such Mortgaged Properties (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of
a Co-op Loan) for the purposes of their prompt disposition and sale, and shall
dispose of such Mortgaged Properties (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in
the case of a Co-op Loan) on such terms and conditions as it deems in the best
interests of the Certificateholders. Each Servicer shall sell such property
prior to the close of the third calendar year beginning after the year in which
such foreclosure or conversion occurs or such longer period as would not prevent
such Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a
Co-op Loan) from constituting "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code. In connection with such activities, each
Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary
or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities, including its management of foreclosed properties for a temporary
period as contemplated herein. The foregoing is subject to the provisions of
Section 5.28 of this Agreement and to the proviso that neither Servicer shall be
required to expend its own funds in connection with any management, foreclosure
or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine that such
management, restoration or foreclosure will increase the Liquidation Proceeds of
the Mortgage Loan to Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such
expenses (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals
from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.09). The applicable Servicer
shall be permitted to earn income with respect to any Mortgaged Properties (or
stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan), provided such
income does not constitute "net income from foreclosure property" within the
meaning of Section 860G(c) of the Code. The income earned from the management of
such Mortgaged Properties (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of
a Co-op Loan), net of reimbursement to such Servicer for expenses (including any
taxes) incurred in connection with such management, shall be applied to the
payment of principal of and interest on the related defaulted Mortgage Loans
(with interest accruing and principal amortizing as though such Mortgage Loans
were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in
this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the
related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the applicable Collection
Account. To the extent the income received is in excess of the amount
attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the Net Mortgage
Rate on the related Mortgage Loan, such excess shall be deposited in such
Collection Account.
Each Servicer shall take into account the existence of any hazardous
substances, hazardous wastes or solid wastes, as such terms are defined in the
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the
Resources Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, or other federal,
state or local environmental legislation, on a Mortgaged Property (or Underlying
Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) relating to a Mortgage Loan
Serviced by such Servicer in determining whether to foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of such property. To the extent that the
applicable Servicer has actual knowledge of any such substance or waste, it
shall consult with the Trustee regarding the appropriate course of action.
Neither Servicer shall institute foreclosure actions with respect to a property
containing substance or waste as described above if it reasonably believes that
such action would not be consistent with its servicing standards, and in no
event shall such Servicer manage, operate or take any other action with respect
thereto which such Servicer in good faith believes will result in "clean-up" or
other liability under applicable law. The net income from the rental or sale of
a REO Property shall be deposited in the applicable Collection Account within
two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof by such Servicer.
70
Each Servicer may enter into a special servicing agreement with an
unaffiliated holder of 100% Percentage Interest of the Class of Class B
Certificates then outstanding having the highest numerical class designation or
a holder of a class of securities representing interests in such Class B
Certificate and/or other subordinate mortgage pass through certificates, such
agreement to be (i) substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto or (ii)
subject to each Rating Agency's acknowledgement that the ratings of the
Certificates in effect immediately prior to the entering into of such agreement
would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the Certificates would not
be placed on credit review status (except for possible upgrading) as a result of
such agreement. Any such agreement may contain provisions whereby such holder
may instruct such Servicer to commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with
respect to delinquent Mortgage Loans and will contain provisions for the deposit
of cash by the holder that would be available for distribution to
Certificateholders if Liquidation Proceeds are less than they would otherwise
may have been had such Servicer acted in accordance with its normal procedures.
Section 5.22. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan
serviced by such Servicer, or upon the receipt of a notification that payment in
full will be made in a manner customary for such purposes, a Servicer shall
immediately notify the Trustee (if the Trustee holds the related Mortgage File)
by a certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect
that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment
which are required to be deposited in the applicable Collection Account pursuant
to Section 5.08 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and
shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, within five Business Days the Trustee shall release
the related Mortgage File to the applicable Servicer and execute and deliver to
such Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or
satisfaction of mortgage or such other instruments releasing the lien of the
Mortgage as have been provided by such Servicer to the Trustee, together with
the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation thereon, and the Trustee
shall have no further responsibility with respect to said Mortgage File. Upon
any such payment in full, or the receipt of such notification, the applicable
Servicer is authorized to procure from the Trustee under the deed of trust which
secured the Mortgage Note, if any, a deed of full reconveyance covering the
property encumbered by such deed of trust, which assignment of deed of trust,
except as otherwise provided by any applicable law, shall be recorded by such
Servicer in the appropriate land records in the jurisdiction in which the
assignment of deed of trust is recorded, or, as the case may be, to procure from
the Trustee an instrument of satisfaction or, if the Mortgagor so requests, an
assignment without recourse, which deed of reconveyance, instrument of
satisfaction or assignment shall be delivered by such Servicer to the Person or
Persons entitled thereto. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument
of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection
Account or to the Trustee.
(b) From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan serviced by such Servicer, the related Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting
that possession of the Mortgage File be released to such Servicer and certifying
as to the reason for such release and that such release will not invalidate any
insurance coverage provided in respect of the Mortgage Loan under any of the
insurance policies required by this Agreement. With such certificate, such
Servicer shall require that the Trustee release the Mortgage File, and, within
five (5) Business Days, the Trustee shall deliver the Mortgage File or any
document therein to such Servicer. Such Servicer shall cause each Mortgage File
so released to be returned to the Trustee when the need therefor by such
Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and
the Net Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited
71
in the Collection Account or (ii) the Mortgage File 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 (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in
the case of a Co-op Loan) either judicially or non-judicially, and such Servicer
has delivered to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer in the form of
Exhibit L hereto certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which
such Mortgage File was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.
(c) Upon written request of either Servicer, the Trustee shall execute
and deliver to such Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or
other documents prepared by and delivered by such Servicer to the Trustee
necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged
Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) or
to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any
other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise
available at law or in equity. Together with such documents or pleadings, such
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer
requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and
certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that
the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate any
insurance coverage under the insurance policies required under this Agreement or
invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the
termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
Section 5.23. Servicing and Other Compensation. Each Servicer, as
compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be entitled to receive, on or
prior to each Distribution Date, the amounts provided for as the Servicing Fee
with respect to Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicer and as reimbursement
for Nonrecoverable Advances, Servicing Advances and reimbursement for Advances
with respect to Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicer, all as specified by
Section 5.09. The amount of compensation or reimbursement provided for shall be
accounted for on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees,
prepayment fees and late payment charges shall be retained by each Servicer with
respect to Mortgage Loans serviced by it, to the extent permitted by applicable
law. Each Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in
connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including the fees and
expenses of the Trustee and any Sub-Servicer) and shall not be entitled to
reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in Sections 5.09 and
5.21.
Section 5.24. 1934 Act Reports.
(a) The Paying Agent shall, on behalf of the Trust, make all filings
("Periodic Reports") required to be made by the Depositor or the Trust (other
than the filings relating to the closing of this transaction) with respect to
the Class A Certificates, the Class M Certificates, the Class B-1 Certificates
and the Class B-2 Certificates pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") thereunder.
(b) Within thirty (30) days after the beginning of the first fiscal
year during which the Trust's obligation to file Periodic Reports pursuant to
the Exchange Act shall have been suspended, the Depositor may 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 Trust's behalf; provided,
however, that the Depositor shall be under no obligation to prepare such notice
if the number of Certificateholders exceeds 300. The Master Servicer shall file
any notice on Form 15 with the Commission in accordance with the provisions of
Rule 15d-6 under the Exchange Act.
72
Section 5.25. Annual Statement as to Compliance. Each Servicer will
deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee on or before April 30 of each year,
beginning with April 30 in the year which begins not less than three (3) months
after the Closing Date, an Officers' Certificate stating, as to each signer
thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of such Servicer during the
preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made
under such officer's supervision, (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge,
based on such review, such Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this
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 (iii) to the best of such
officer's knowledge, each Sub-Servicer has fulfilled its obligations under its
Sub-Servicing 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 officers and the nature and status thereof. Copies of such
statement shall be provided to the Master Servicer and to each Rating Agency by
such Servicer. Copies of such statement shall also be provided by such Servicer
to any Certificateholder upon request. If such Servicer shall fail to provide
such copies and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee is aware that such Servicer
has not so provided copies, the Trustee shall provide such copies at such
Servicer's expense if the Trustee has received such statement.
Section 5.26. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
On or before April 30 of each year, beginning with April 30 in the year which
begins not less than three (3) months after the Closing Date, each 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 to the Depositor and the Trustee to the effect that, such firm has
examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the related
Mortgage Loans and that, on the basis of such examination conducted
substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Audit Program for Mortgage
Bankers, such servicing has been conducted in compliance with the manner of
servicing set forth in pooling and servicing agreements substantially similar to
this Agreement, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be
immaterial and (ii) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such
statement. Copies of such statement shall be provided to the Master Servicer and
to each Rating Agency, and, upon request, to the Certificateholders, by such
Servicer, or by the Trustee at such Servicer's expense if the Trustee has
received such statement and such Servicer shall fail to provide such copies and
the Trustee is aware that such Servicer has not so provided copies.
Section 5.27. Access to Certain Documentation; Rights of the Depositor
in Respect of the Servicers. Each Servicer shall provide access to the Trustee,
the Master Servicer, Certificateholders which are savings and loan associations,
banks or insurance companies or examiners of any federal or state banking or
insurance regulatory authority to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
if so required by applicable regulations of any regulatory authority, such
access to be afforded subject to reimbursement for expenses without charge but
only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of
any Servicer designated by it. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to,
enforce the obligations of each Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is
not obligated to, appoint and cause a designee to perform, any defaulted
obligations of any Servicer hereunder or exercise the rights of such Servicer
hereunder; provided that such Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its
obligations hereunder by virtue of the appointment of a designee by the
Depositor of its designee. The Depositor shall not assume any responsibility or
liability for any action or failure to take action by either Servicer and is not
obligated to supervise the performance of either Servicer under this Agreement
or otherwise.
Section 5.28. REMIC-Related Covenants. For as long as the Trust Fund
shall exist, the Servicers, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall act in
accordance herewith to assure continuing treatment of each REMIC Pool as a
REMIC. In particular:
73
(a) Neither the Master Servicer nor either Servicer shall create, or
permit the creation of, any "interests" in either REMIC Pool within the meaning
of Section 860G(a) of the Code other than the "regular interests" in each REMIC
Pool designated as such in Section 2.04(a), the Subsidiary Residual Interest and
the Master Residual Interest;
(b) As of all times as may be required by the Code, each Servicer and
the Master Servicer will ensure that substantially all of the assets of each
REMIC Pool will consist of "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code. The Master Servicer and the Trustee, upon the direction
of the Master Servicer, also will maintain records that are sufficient to
indicate each REMIC Pool's compliance with applicable requirements of the Code
(and applicable Proposed, Temporary or final Treasury Regulations) relating to
the assets held by such REMIC Pool. Further, neither Servicer shall permit and
the Trustee shall not accept the transfer or substitution of any Mortgage Loan
other than pursuant to Section 3.03, 5.01 or 5.21 of this Agreement, and neither
Servicer shall, in any case, permit substitution later than two (2) years from
the Closing Date unless such Servicer and the Trustee have received an Opinion
of Counsel, which will not be an expense of the Trust Fund, that such transfer
or substitution would not adversely affect the REMIC status of either REMIC Pool
or would not otherwise be prohibited by this Agreement;
(c) Each Servicer and the Master Servicer shall ensure that neither
REMIC Pool receives a fee or other compensation for services and that neither
REMIC Pool receives any income from assets other than "qualified mortgages"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code, and shall take whatever
action it deems necessary to avoid any material tax imposed by the Code on
either REMIC Pool;
(d) The Trustee shall not sell or permit the sale of all or any portion
of the Mortgage Loans or of any Eligible Investment unless such sale is as a
result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the
Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel, which will not be an expense of the
Trust Fund or the Trustee, to the effect that such sale (i) is pursuant to a
"qualified liquidation" as defined in Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code and as
described in Section 11.01 hereof, or (ii) would not be treated as a "prohibited
transaction" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code that results
in the realization of a material amount of gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes;
(e) The Trustee shall not accept any contribution to either REMIC Pool
after the Startup Day without an Opinion of Counsel (which shall not be an
expense of the Trustee) that such contribution is included within the exceptions
provided in Section 860G(d)(2) of the Code and, therefore, will not be subject
to the tax imposed by Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code; and
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee, at the direction of the Master Servicer, shall
take any other action or refuse to take any action otherwise required (including
adjusting the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan) where the Master Servicer
deems such action or inaction reasonably necessary to ensure the REMIC status of
either REMIC Pool under the Code and applicable regulations or to avoid the
imposition of any material tax liability on either REMIC Pool that will affect
amounts distributable to the Certificateholders.
(g) In the event that any applicable federal, state or local tax,
including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to
tax, is imposed on either REMIC Pool, such tax shall be treated in the same
manner as a Realized Loss and shall be charged against amounts otherwise
distributable to the Holders of the Certificates, except as provided in the last
sentence of this Section 5.28 (g). The Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent shall withdraw from the
Collection Account sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to
actually pay, such tax as is estimated to be legally owed by (but such
authorization shall not prevent the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent from contesting, at the expense
of the Trust Fund (other than as a consequence of a breach of its obligations
under this Agreement), any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding
payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such
proceedings). The Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section
4.05, the Paying Agent is hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into a
74
separate non-interest bearing account, the net income from any "prohibited
transaction" under Code Section 860F(a), the amount of any taxable contribution
to the Trust Fund after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Code
Section 860G(d), and 35% of any estimated "net income from foreclosure property"
under Section 860G(c) and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to
pay such tax. To the extent that any such tax is paid to the Internal Revenue
Service or applicable state or local tax authorities, the Trustee or a Paying
Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent shall retain an
equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the
Class A-R Certificate and shall distribute such retained amounts to the Holders
of the other Classes of Certificates, to the extent they remain outstanding,
until they are fully reimbursed for any amount of such taxes previously charged
to the then Holder of the Class R Certificate. Neither the Trustee, the Master
Servicer nor either Servicer shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on
either REMIC Pool except to the extent such taxes arise as a consequence of a
breach of their respective obligations under this Agreement.
Section 5.29. Maintenance of the Rounding Account; Collections
Thereunder. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall establish
the Rounding Account, which shall be non-interest bearing, and Countrywide
Securities Corporation shall deposit $1,999.98 therein. The Master Servicer
shall maintain such account to provide, if needed, the applicable Rounding
Amount on any Distribution Date. On the first Distribution Date with respect to
which the Master Servicer determines that amounts are available out of the
Available Distribution Amount for distributions of principal on the Class A-14
Certificates or Class A-16 Certificates, and the aggregate amount allocable to
such distributions of principal is not an amount equal to an integral multiple
of $1,000.00, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Rounding Account the
applicable Rounding Amount. On each succeeding Distribution Date, prior to the
Credit Support Depletion Date, with respect to which the Master Servicer
determines that amounts are available out of the Available Distribution Amount
for distributions of principal on the Class A-14 Certificates or Class A-16
Certificates, the aggregate amount allocable to such Class A-14 and Class A-16
Certificate, respectively, will be applied first to replenish any funds
withdrawn from the Rounding Account on prior Distribution Dates which have not
been repaid. If the remainder of the aggregate amount allocable to distributions
of principal on each such Class is not an amount equal to an integral multiple
of $1,000.00, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Rounding Account, to
the extent funds are available therein, the applicable Rounding Amount.
Any amounts withdrawn by the Master Servicer from the Rounding Account
shall be deposited in the Certificate Account for distribution to the Holders of
Class A-14 Certificates and Class A-16 Certificates, as applicable, as described
in the immediately preceding paragraph. Funds held in the Certificate Account
shall be invested as described in Section 4.05.
On or promptly after the Credit Support Depletion Date, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw and pay to itself as additional
compensation any remaining amounts on deposit in the Rounding Account.

Credit Support (before giving effect to any distribution of principal and any
Realized Losses allocable on such Distribution Date) greater than or equal to
the Original Credit Support for such Class; (2) the Class having the lowest

Certificates having a lower numerical class designation than such Class fails to
meet the criteria in (1) above. For purposes of this paragraph, the Class M
Certificates shall be deemed to have a lower numerical class designation than
each Class of Class B Certificates.
(f) Based upon the information received from the Servicers as provided
in Section 6.02, the Master Servicer shall make all calculations necessary to
make the distributions described in this Section 6.01. All distributions made to
Certificateholders of any Class on each Distribution Date will be made to the
Certificateholders of the respective Class of record on the next preceding
Record Date, except that the final distribution with respect to each Class shall
be made as provided in the forms of Certificates. All distributions made to
Certificateholders shall be based on the Percentage Interest of the Class
represented by their respective Certificates, and shall be made either by
transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Holder at a bank
or other financial or depository institution having appropriate facilities
79
therefor, if such Holder has so notified the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has
been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, in writing at least 10
Business Days prior to the first Distribution Date for which distribution by
wire transfer is to be made and such Holder's Certificates of such Class in the
aggregate evidence an original denomination of not less than $5,000,000 or such
Holder holds a 100% Percentage Interest of such Class or, if not, by check
mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears on the
Certificate Register, except that the final distribution in retirement of the
Certificates will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office specified in the final Distribution Notice. If on any
Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that there are no Mortgage
Loans outstanding and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the
funds in the Certificate Account, the Trustee or if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent shall promptly send the final
distribution notice to each Certificateholder specifying the manner in which the
final distribution will be made.
Section 6.02. Statements to the Certificateholders.

Date, each Servicer shall send to the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent and the
Trustee the relevant information for purposes of this Section 6.02. Not later

The Paying Agent's responsibility for sending the above information to
the Certificateholders is limited to the availability, timeliness and accuracy
of the information derived from the Servicer.
Upon reasonable advance notice in writing if required by federal
regulation, the Master Servicer or either Servicer will provide to each
Certificateholder which is a savings and loan association, bank or insurance
company certain reports and access during business hours to information and
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans sufficient to permit such
Certificateholder to comply with applicable regulations of regulatory
authorities with respect to investment in the Certificates; provided, that the
Master Servicer or either Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each
such Certificateholder for the Master Servicer's or such Servicer's actual
expenses incurred in providing such reports and access.
(b) The Master Servicer shall cause to be prepared, and the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as required by applicable law, shall file, any and all
tax returns, information statements or other filings required to be delivered to
Certificateholders and any governmental taxing authority pursuant to any
applicable law with respect to the Trust Fund and the transactions contemplated
hereby (the Master Servicer or the Trustee may, at its option but with the
consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, appoint
an organization which regularly engages in the preparation and filing of such
documents on a continuous basis for profit and which represents itself to be
expert in such matters) and the Master Servicer shall maintain a record of the
information necessary for the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code and
shall make such information available as required by Section 860D(a)(6) of the
Code; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee of
the Trustee's obligation to make any such filings and that any fees of the
organization appointed as provided above shall be paid by the Master Servicer;
and provided further that if an organization is employed, as described above, to
prepare and file any such filings, neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer
shall be liable for any errors by such organization.
81
Section 6.03. Advances by the Servicers. If, on any Determination Date,
either Servicer determines that any Monthly Payments with respect to any
Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicer due on the immediately preceding Due
Date have not been received, such Servicer shall, unless it determines in its
sole discretion that such amounts will not be recoverable from Late Collections,
Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise, make an Advance on or before the Business Day
prior to the related Distribution Date in an amount equal to the amount of such
delinquent Monthly Payments, after adjustment of any delinquent interest payment
for such Servicer's Servicing Fee. For purposes of this Section 6.03, the
delinquent Monthly Payments referred to in the preceding sentence shall be
deemed to include an amount equal to the Monthly Payments that would have been
due on Mortgage Loans which have been foreclosed or otherwise terminated and in
connection with which such Servicer acquired and continues to own the Mortgaged
Properties on behalf of the Certificateholders. If such Servicer makes an
Advance, it shall on or prior to the Servicer Remittance Date for such
Distribution Date either (i) deposit in the applicable Collection Account an
amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry in the
records of the applicable Collection Account that funds in such account being
held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this
Section 6.03, used by such Servicer to make such Advance or (iii) make Advances
in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of
such Advance. Any funds being held in a Collection Account for future
distribution to Certificateholders and so used pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii)
above shall be replaced by the related Servicer from its own funds by deposit
into the Collection Account on or before any subsequent Distribution Date to the
extent that funds in such Collection Account on such Distribution Date shall be
less than the amount of payments required to be made to Certificateholders on
such Distribution Date. Any such Advance shall be included with the distribution
to the Certificateholders on the related Distribution Date. If such Servicer
determines not to make a Nonrecoverable Advance, it shall on the related
Determination Date furnish to the Trustee, any co-trustee, the Master Servicer
and each Rating Agency notice of such determination. Each Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed from its Collection Account for all Advances and
Nonrecoverable Advances as provided in Section 5.09.
Section 6.04. Allocation of Realized Losses. (a) Prior to each
Determination Date, each Servicer shall determine with respect to the Mortgage
Loans it services (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred
during the related Principal Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and to what extent
such Realized Losses constitute Excess Losses; and (iii) the respective portions
of such Realized Losses allocable to interest and to principal.
(b) The principal portion of any Realized Losses other than Excess
Losses shall be allocated as follows: first, to the Class B-5 Certificates until
the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-5 Certificates has
been reduced to zero; second, to the Class B-4 Certificates until the
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-4 Certificates has been
reduced to zero; third, to Class B-3 Certificates until the Outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-3 Certificates has been reduced to
zero; fourth, to the Class B-2 Certificates until the Outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class B-2 Certificates has been reduced to zero; fifth,
to the Class B-1 Certificates until the Outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class B-1 Certificates has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the
Class M Certificates until the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the
Class M Certificates has been reduced to zero; and seventh, to the Non-PO Class
A Certificates on a pro rata basis until the Outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of the Non-PO Class A Certificates has been reduced to zero; provided,
however, that if a Realized Loss occurs with respect to a Discount Mortgage Loan
(A) the amount of such Realized Loss equal to the product of (i) the amount of
such Realized Loss and (ii) the PO Percentage with respect to such Discount
Mortgage Loan will be allocated to Class A-P Certificates and (B) the remainder
of such Realized Loss will be allocated as described above; and provided
further, however, that any portion of any Realized Loss that would otherwise be
allocated to the Class A-5 Certificates in accordance with this Section 6.04(b)
will instead be allocated to the Class A-21 Certificates until the Outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-5 Certificates has been reduced to
zero. The principal portion of any Excess Losses shall be allocated among all
Classes of Certificates on a pro rata basis; provided, however, that the
applicable PO Percentage of any Excess Losses on the Discount Mortgage Loans
shall be allocated to Class A-P Certificates; and provided further, however,
that any portion of any Excess Loss that would otherwise be allocated to the
Class A-5 Certificates in accordance with this Section 6.04(b) will instead be
allocated to the Class A-21 Certificates until the Outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class A-21 Certificates has been reduced to zero.
82
(c) As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a "pro rata
basis" among two or more specified Classes means an allocation on a pro rata
basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class on the basis
of their Outstanding Certificate Principal Balances (or, in the case of the
Class A-15 Certificates, the lesser of (i) the Original Certificate Principal
Balance of such Certificate and (ii) the Outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of such Certificate) prior to giving effect to distributions to be made
on such Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to
a Class of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of
such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
(d) In the event that a recovery is made with respect to any Realized
Loss, the amount of such recovery shall be distributed on the next Distribution
Date first to the Class A Certificateholders, up to the amount to which such
Realized Loss was allocated to the Class A Certificateholders; second to the
Class M Certificateholders, up to the amount to which such Realized Loss was
allocated to the Class M Certificateholders; third to the Class B-1
Certificateholders, up to the amount to which such Realized Loss was allocated
to the Class B-1 Certificateholders; fourth to the Class B-2 Certificateholders,
up to the amount to which such Realized Loss was allocated to the Class B-2
Certificateholders; fifth to the Class B-3 Certificateholders, up to the amount
to which such Realized Loss was allocated to the Class B-3 Certificateholders;
sixth to the Class B-4 Certificateholders, up to the amount to which such
Realized Loss was allocated to the Class B-4 Certificateholders; and seventh to
the Class B-5 Certificateholders, up to the amount to which such Realized Loss
was allocated to the Class B-5 Certificateholders.
Section 6.05. Compensating Interest; Allocation of Certain Interest
Shortfalls.
(a) Upon a Principal Prepayment of a Mortgage Loan, CMMC or
Countrywide, as applicable, shall deposit into the related Collection Account
from its own funds, as a reduction of its servicing compensation hereunder, an
amount, if any, by which the amount of the interest that would otherwise accrue
with respect to such Mortgage Loan from the date of prepayment to the Due Date
in the related Due Period at the Net Mortgage Rate exceeds the amount of the
interest (adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate) collected from the Mortgagor with
respect to such period (such amount, "Compensating Interest"); provided,
however, that with respect to any Distribution Date, each Servicer's obligation
to deposit any such amount is limited to an amount equal to the product of (i)
one-twelfth of 0.125% and (ii) in the case of CMMC, the aggregate Scheduled
Principal Balance of the CMMC Serviced Mortgage Loans and in the case of
Countrywide, the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Countrywide
Serviced Mortgage Loans with respect to such Distribution Date.
(b) On any Distribution Date, the excess, if any, of (X) Compensating
Interest with respect to such Distribution Date over (Y) the amount deposited in
the Collection Account pursuant to (a) above for such Distribution Date shall
equal the "Compensating Interest Shortfall" with respect to such Distribution
Date. On any Distribution Date, the Compensating Interest Shortfall shall be
allocated pro rata among the outstanding Classes of Class A, Class M and Class B
Certificates based on the amount of interest to which each such Class would
otherwise be paid on such Distribution Date had there been no such Compensating
Interest Shortfall.
(c) On any Distribution Date, the interest portion of any Realized
Losses ("Realized Loss Interest Shortfall") other than the interest portion of
Excess Losses shall be allocated to the Class of Subordinated Certificates then
outstanding having the highest numerical class designation (for this purpose,
the Class M Certificates shall be deemed to have a lower numerical class
designation than each Class of Class B Certificates) or, if no Class of
Subordinated Certificates is then outstanding, to the Non-PO Class A
Certificates pro rata among the outstanding Classes of Non-PO Class A
Certificates based on the amount of interest to which each such Class would
83
otherwise be paid (or in the case of the Class A-15 Certificates, added to the
principal balance of such Class, prior to the Class A-15 Accretion Termination
Date) on such Distribution Date had there been no such Realized Loss Interest
Shortfall. On any Distribution Date, the interest portion of any Excess Losses
shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Classes of Certificates based
upon the amount of interest to which each such Class would otherwise be paid (or
in the case of the Class A-15 Certificates, added to the principal balance of
such Class, prior to the Class A-15 Accretion Termination Date) on such
Distribution Date had there been no such Excess Losses allocable to interest.
Section 6.06. Subordination. The rights of the Class B
Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Class B
Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be subordinated to the rights of the
Class A and Class M Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of
the Class A and Class M Certificates. The rights of the Class M
Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Class M
Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be subordinated to the rights of the
Class A Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the Class A
Certificates. The rights of the Class B-1 Certificateholders to receive
distributions in respect of the Class B-1 Certificates on any Distribution Date
shall be subordinate to the rights of the Class A and Class M Certificateholders
to receive distributions in respect of such Class A and Class M Certificates.
Each Class of Class B Certificates (other than the Class B-1 Certificates) is
subordinated to the Class A Certificates, the Class M Certificates and each
Class of Class B Certificates having a lower numerical class designation than
such Class of Class B Certificates. The rights of each Servicer, as servicer, to
receive funds from the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 5.09, on account
of the applicable Servicing Fee (except as provided in Section 6.05) in respect
of each Mortgage Loan, assumption fees, late payment charges and other mortgagor
charges, reimbursement of Advances and expenses or otherwise and the rights of
the Master Servicer to receive the Master Servicer Fee, shall not be
subordinated to the rights of the Class A, Class M or Class B
Certificateholders. Amounts held by the Servicers, the Master Servicer or the
Trustee for future distribution to the Class M or Class B Certificateholders,
including, without limitation, in the Collection Accounts, shall not be
distributed in respect of the Class M or Class B Certificates except in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Class B Certificateholders are
deemed to have granted a security interest in such amounts to the Class A and
Class M Certificateholders to secure the rights of the Class A and Class M
Certificateholders to receive distributions in priority over the Class B
Certificateholders. The Class M Certificateholders are deemed to have granted a
security interest in such amounts to the Class A Certificateholders to secure
the rights of the Class A Certificateholders to receive distributions in
priority over the Class A Certificateholders.
Section 6.07. Determination of LIBOR. LIBOR applicable to the
calculation of the Certificate Rates on the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-19 and
Class A-20 Certificates for any Interest Accrual Period (other than the initial
Interest Accrual Period) will be determined by the Master Servicer on each Rate
Adjustment Date as follows:
For any Interest Accrual Period other than the first Interest Accrual
Period, the rate for United States dollar deposits for one month which appears
on the Telerate Screen Page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M., London, England time, on the
second LIBOR Business Day prior to the first day of such Interest Accrual
Period. For the first Interest Accrual Period, LIBOR shall equal 1.83% with
respect to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-19 and Class A-20 Certificates. If
such rate does not appear on such page (or such other page as may replace that
page on that service, or if such service is no longer offered, such other
service for displaying LIBOR or comparable rates as may be reasonably selected
by the Master Servicer), the rate will be the Reference Bank Rate. If no such
quotations can be obtained and no Reference Bank Rate is available, LIBOR will
be LIBOR applicable to the preceding Distribution Date.
84
The establishment of LIBOR by the Master Servicer on any Rate
Adjustment Date and the Master Servicer's subsequent calculation of the
Certificate Rates applicable to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-19 and Class
A-20 Certificates for the relevant Interest Accrual Period, in the absence of
manifest error, will be final and binding.
Section 6.08. Principal Distributions on the Class A-14 and Class A-16
Certificates. (a) Prior to the Credit Support Depletion Date, distributions in
reduction of the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-14 and
Class A-16 Certificates will be made in integral multiples of $1,000.00 at the
request of the appropriate representatives of Deceased Holders of Certificates
of such Classes and at the request of Living Holders of Certificates of such
Classes or by mandatory distributions, pursuant to Section 6.08(b) and Section
6.08(e). On and after the Credit Support Depletion Date, distributions in
reduction of the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A-14
and Class A-16 Certificates will each be made on a pro rata basis pursuant to
Section 6.08(f).
(b) On each Distribution Date on which principal distributions to the
Class A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates are made pursuant to Section
6.01(b)(ii)(A), such distributions shall be distributed to the Beneficial
Holders of each such Certificates by the Depository pursuant to the Depository
Agreement in the following priority:
(i) first, to requesting Deceased Holders, in the order in
which such requests are received by the Depository, but not exceeding
an aggregate amount of $25,000.00 for each requesting Deceased Holder;
and
(ii) second, to requesting Living Holders, in the order in
which such requests are received by the Depository, but not exceeding
an aggregate amount of $10,000.00 for each requesting Living Holder.
Thereafter, the Depository shall make distributions with respect to the Class
A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above up to
a second $25,000.00 and $10,000.00, respectively. This sequence of priorities
shall be repeated for each Class until the Depository has honored all requests
for principal distributions by Deceased Holders and Living Holders of the
applicable Class to the extent of amounts available for principal distributions
to such Class.
All requests for principal distributions to the Class A-14 and Class
A-16 Certificates will be accepted in accordance with the provisions set forth
in Section 6.08(d). Requests for principal distributions that are received by
the Master Servicer after the related Record Date and requests for principal
distributions received in a timely manner but not accepted with respect to any
Distribution Date, will be treated as requests for principal distributions by
the Beneficial Holder(s) making such requests on the next succeeding
Distribution Date, and each succeeding Distribution Date thereafter, until each
such request is accepted or is withdrawn as provided in Section 6.08(d). Such
requests as are not so withdrawn shall retain their order of priority without
the need for any further action on the part of the appropriate Beneficial Holder
of the Class A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates, as applicable, all in accordance
with the procedures of the Depository and the Master Servicer. Upon the transfer
of beneficial ownership of the Class A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates, any
distribution request previously submitted with respect to each such Class A-14
and Class A-16 Certificates, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been
withdrawn only upon the receipt by the Master Servicer, on or before the Record
Date for any applicable Distribution Date of notification of such withdrawal in
the manner set forth in Section 6.08(d) using a form required by the Depository.
85
Distributions in reduction of the Outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates shall be applied by the
Master Servicer in an amount equal to the portion of the Non-PO Class A Optimal
Principal Amount allocable to such Class A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates, as
applicable, pursuant to Section 6.01, plus any amounts available for
distribution from the Rounding Account established as provided in Section 5.29,
provided that the aggregate distribution of principal to each such Class on any
Distribution Date shall be made in an integral multiple of $1,000.00.
To the extent that the portion of the Non-PO Class A Optimal Principal
Amount allocable to the Class A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates on any
Distribution Date exceeds the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the
Class A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates, respectively, with respect to which
principal distribution requests, as set forth above, have been received,
principal distributions in reduction of the Outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of such Class will be made by mandatory distribution pursuant to Section
6.08(e).
(c) The Class A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates shall be deemed to be
held by a Deceased Holder for purposes of this Section 6.08 if the death of the
Beneficial Holder thereof is deemed to have occurred by the Master Servicer.
Class A-14 or Class A-16 Certificates beneficially owned by tenants by the
entirety, joint tenants or tenants in common shall be considered to be
beneficially owned by a single owner. The death of a tenant by the entirety,
joint tenant or tenant in common shall be deemed to be the death of the
Beneficial Holder, and the Class A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates, as the case
may be, so beneficially owned shall be eligible for priority with respect to
principal distributions, subject to the limitations stated above. The Class A-14
or Class A-16 Certificates, as applicable, beneficially owned by a trust shall
be considered to be beneficially owned by each beneficiary of the trust to the
extent of such beneficiary's beneficial interest therein, but in no event will a
trust's beneficiaries collectively be deemed to be Beneficial Holders of a
number of Class A-14 or Class A-16 Certificates, as the case may be, greater
than the number of Class A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates, respectively, of
which such trust is the owner. The death of a beneficiary of a trust shall be
deemed to be the death of a Beneficial Holder of Class A-14 or Class A-16
Certificates, as applicable, beneficially owned by the trust to the extent of
such beneficiary's beneficial interest in such trust. The death of an individual
who was a tenant by the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common in a tenancy
which is the beneficiary of a trust shall be deemed to be the death of the
beneficiary of such trust. The death of a person who, during his or her
lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial ownership
interests in Class A-14 or Class A-16 Certificates shall be deemed to be the
death of the Holder of such Class A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates,
respectively, regardless of the registration of ownership, if such beneficial
ownership interest can be established to the satisfaction of the Master
Servicer. Such beneficial interest shall be deemed to exist in typical cases of
street name or nominee ownership, ownership by a trustee, ownership under the
Uniform Gifts to Minors Act and community property or other joint ownership
arrangements between a husband and wife. Beneficial interest shall include the
power to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Class A-14 and Class A-16
Certificates and the right to receive the proceeds therefrom, as well as
interest and principal distributions, as applicable, payable with respect
thereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be under any duty to
determine independently the occurrence of the death of any Deceased Holder. The
Master Servicer may rely entirely upon documentation delivered to it pursuant to
Section 6.08(d) in establishing the eligibility of any Holder to receive the
priority accorded Deceased Holders in Section 6.08(b).
86
(d) Requests for principal distributions to Class A-14 or Class A-16
Certificates shall be made by delivering a written request therefor to the
Depository Participant or Indirect Participant that maintains the account
evidencing such Beneficial Holder's interest in such Class A-14 or Class A-16
Certificate, respectively. In the case of a request on behalf of a Deceased
Holder, appropriate evidence of death and any tax waivers are required to be
forwarded to the Master Servicer, under separate cover. The Depository
Participant shall in turn make the request of the Depository (or, in the case of
an Indirect Participant, such Indirect Participant shall notify the related
Depository Participant of such request, which Depository Participant should make
the request of the Depository) on a form required by the Depository and provided
to the Depository Participant. Upon receipt of such request, the Depository will
date and time stamp such request and forward such request to the Master
Servicer. The Depository may establish such procedures as it deems fair and
equitable to establish the order of receipt of requests for such distributions
received by it on the same day. None of the Depositor, either Servicer, the
Paying Agent or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of
requests for distributions or withdrawals of such requests by the Depository, a
Depository Participant or any Indirect Participant.
The Master Servicer shall maintain a list of those Depository
Participants representing the appropriate Holders of Class A-14 and Class A-16
Certificates that have submitted requests for principal distributions, together
with the order of receipt and the amounts of such requests. The Servicer shall
notify the Depository as to which requests should be honored on each
Distribution Date at least two Business Days prior to such Distribution Date and
shall notify the Depository as to the portion of the Non-PO Class A Optimal
Principal Amount (together with any amounts available for distribution from the
Rounding Account) to be distributed to Class A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates,
as applicable, by mandatory distribution pursuant to Section 6.08(e). Requests
shall be honored by the Depository in accordance with the procedures, and
subject to the priorities and limitations, described in this Section 6.08. The
exact procedures to be followed by the Master Servicer and the Depository for
purposes of determining such priorities and limitations will be those
established from time to time by the Master Servicer or the Depository, as the
case may be. The decisions of the Master Servicer and the Depository concerning
such matters will be final and binding on all affected persons.
Class A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates that have been accepted for a
distribution shall receive distributions, as applicable, on the applicable
Distribution Date. Such Class A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates, as applicable,
shall cease to bear interest on the amount of principal to be distributed on any
Distribution Date after the last calendar day of the month preceding the month
in which such Distribution Date occurs.
Any Beneficial Holder of a Class A-14 or Class A-16 Certificate that
has requested a principal distribution may withdraw its request by so notifying
in writing the Depository Participant or Indirect Participant that maintains
such Beneficial Holder's account. In the event that such account is maintained
by an Indirect Participant, such Indirect Participant must notify the related
Depository Participant which in turn must forward the withdrawal of such
request, on a form required by the Depository, to the Depository to be forwarded
to the Servicer. If such notice of withdrawal of a request for distribution has
not been received by the Depository and forwarded to the Master Servicer on or
before the Record Date for the next Distribution Date, the previously made
request for a principal distribution shall be irrevocable with respect to the
making of principal distributions on such Distribution Date.
In the event any requests for principal distributions are rejected by
the Master Servicer for failure to comply with the requirements of this Section
6.08, the Master Servicer shall return such request to the appropriate
Depository Participant with a copy to the Depository with an explanation as to
the reason for such rejection.
87
(e) To the extent, if any, that principal distributions to be made to
the applicable Class A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates on a Distribution Date
exceed the aggregate amount of principal distribution requests for such Class
A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates, as applicable, which have been received on or
before the applicable Record Date, as provided in Section 6.08(b) above,
additional Certificates of such applicable Class will be selected to receive
mandatory principal distributions in lots equal to $1,000.00 in accordance with
the then-applicable Random Lot procedures of the Depository, and the
then-applicable procedures of the Depository Participants and Indirect
Participants representing the Beneficial Holders (which procedures may or may
not be by random lot). The Master Servicer shall notify the Depository of the
aggregate amount of the mandatory principal distribution to be made on the next
Distribution Date. The Depository shall then allocate such aggregate amount
among the Depository Participants on a Random Lot basis. Each Participant and,
in turn, each Indirect Participant shall then select, in accordance with its own
procedures, the applicable Class A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates from among
those held in its accounts to receive mandatory principal distributions, such
that the total amount of principal distributed to the Class A-14 and Class A-16
Certificates, respectively, so selected is equal to the aggregate amount of such
mandatory distributions allocated to such Participant by the Depository and to
such Indirect Participant by its related Participant, as the case may be.
Depository Participants and Indirect Participants that hold Class A-14 and Class
A-16 Certificates, as applicable, selected for mandatory principal distributions
are required to provide notice of such mandatory distributions to the affected
Beneficial Holders.
(f) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, on each
Distribution Date on and after the Credit Support Depletion Date, distributions
in reduction of the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of Class A-14 or
Class A-16 Certificates will be made pro rata (based upon their respective
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balances) among the Beneficial Holders of the
Certificates of such Class A-14 and Class A-16, respectively, and shall not be
made in integral multiples of $1,000.00 nor pursuant to requests for
distribution as permitted by Section 6.08(a) or by mandatory distributions as
provided for by Section 6.08(e).
In the event that Definitive Certificates representing Class A-14 or
Class A-16 Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 4.01, an amendment to
this Agreement, which may be approved without the consent of any
Certificateholders, shall establish procedures relating to the manner in which
distributions in reduction of the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of
Class A-14 and Class A-16 Certificates, as applicable, are to be made.

REPORTS TO BE PREPARED BY THE SERVICER
Section 7.01. Master Servicer and Servicers Shall Provide Information
as Reasonably Required. The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall furnish to
the Trustee, during the term of this Agreement, such periodic, special, or other
reports or information, whether or not provided for herein, as shall be
necessary, reasonable, or appropriate in respect to the Trustee, or otherwise in
respect to the purposes of this Agreement, all such reports or information to be
as provided by and in accordance with such applicable instructions and
directions as the Trustee may reasonably require.
Section 7.02. Federal Information Returns and Reports to
Certificateholders. For federal income tax purposes, the taxable year of each
REMIC Pool shall be a calendar year and the Master Servicer shall maintain or
cause the maintenance of the books of each REMIC Pool on the accrual method of
accounting.
88
(a) The Master Servicer shall prepare and file or cause to be filed
with the Internal Revenue Service federal tax or information returns with
respect to each REMIC Pool and the Certificates containing such information and
at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or applicable
Treasury regulations, and shall furnish to each Certificateholder at any time
during the calendar year for which such returns or reports are made such
statements or information at the times and in the manner as may be required
thereby. Without limitation on any other requirement of this Section 7.02, the
Master Servicer shall make available the information necessary for the
application of Section 860E(e) of the Code within 60 days of such request. With
respect to the Class A-R Certificate, the Master Servicer shall provide such
information or cause such information to be provided to (i) the Internal Revenue
Service, (ii) the transferor of a Class A-R Certificate to a Disqualified
Organization and (iii) a Pass-Thru Entity that holds a Class A-R Certificate
with one or more record holders that are Disqualified Organizations. The Master
Servicer also shall provide or cause to be provided promptly the above described
computation and information relating to the tax on transfers to Disqualified
Organizations within 60 days after becoming aware of the transfer to a
Disqualified Organization. In addition, except as may be provided in Treasury
regulations, any Person holding an interest in a Pass-Thru Entity as a nominee
for another will, with respect to such interest, be treated as a Pass-Thru
Entity. In connection with the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall provide the
name, address and telephone number of the person who can be contacted to obtain
information required to be reported to the holders of regular interests in
either REMIC Pool (the "REMIC Reporting Agent") as required by IRS Form 8811.
The Master Servicer shall provide the name, address and telephone number of the
REMIC Reporting Agent to the Trustee on the Closing Date, and the Trustee shall
designate such person to act as the REMIC Reporting Agent as required by IRS
Form 8811. The Master Servicer shall indicate the election to treat each REMIC
Pool as a REMIC (which election shall apply to the taxable period ending
December 31, 2002 and each calendar year thereafter) in such manner as the Code
or applicable Treasury regulations may prescribe. The Trustee shall sign all tax
and information returns filed pursuant to this Section 7.02 and any other
returns as may be required by the Code, and in doing so shall rely entirely
upon, and shall have no liability for information provided by, or calculations
provided by, each Servicer. The Master Servicer is hereby designated as the
agent of the Holder of the Class A-R Certificate who shall be the "tax matters
person" (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. "1.860F-4(d)) for each REMIC Pool.
Any Holder of a Class A-R Certificate will by acceptance thereof so appoint the
Servicer as agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of acting as tax matters
person. In the event that the Code or applicable Treasury regulations prohibit
the Trustee from signing tax or information returns or other statements, or the
Master Servicer from acting as tax matters person (as an agent or otherwise),
the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, shall take whatever
action that in its sole good faith judgment is necessary for the proper filing
of such information returns or for the provision of a tax matters person,
including designation of the Holder of a Class A-R Certificate to sign such
returns or act as tax matters person. Each Holder of a Class A-R Certificate
shall be bound by this Section 7.02 by virtue of its acceptance of a Class A-R
Certificate.

ARTICLE VIII
THE DEPOSITOR, THE SERVICERs and the Master Servicer
Section 8.01. Indemnification; Third Party Claims. Each Servicer agrees
to indemnify the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the other Servicer and the
Trustee and hold the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, their
officers, directors, employees and agents harmless against any and all claims,
losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments,
and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the other Servicer or the Trustee may sustain in any way related to failure of
such Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance
with the terms of this Agreement; provided that no such indemnification shall be
required with respect to acts of a predecessor of such Servicer. Each Servicer
shall immediately notify the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the other Servicer
and the Trustee if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this
Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the consent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the other Servicer and the Trustee) the defense of any such
claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and
promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered
against it, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the other Servicer or the
Trustee in respect of such claim. This right to indemnification shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.
89
Section 8.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor, the Servicers
or the Master Servicer. The Depositor, each Servicer and the Master Servicer
will each keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
corporation, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall
be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the
Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this
Agreement. Neither Servicer will sell all or substantially all of its assets
without the prior written consent of the Depositor and the Trustee which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Any Person into which the Depositor, either Servicer or the Master
Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or to whom the Depositor, either
Servicer or the Master Servicer has sold substantially all of its assets, or any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Depositor, either Servicer or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any
Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, either Servicer or the
Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor, either Servicer or the
Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving
Person to either Servicer or the Master Servicer shall satisfy the requirements
of Section 8.05 with respect to the qualifications of a successor to the Master
Servicer.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 8.02 and Section 8.04 to
the contrary, either Servicer and the Master Servicer may assign its rights and
delegate its duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided that the
Person accepting such assignment or delegation shall be a Person which is
qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of FNMA or FHLMC, is approved in
advance in writing by the Trustee and the Depositor, is willing to service the
Mortgage Loans and executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an
agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and
the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual
performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or
observed by either Servicer or the Master Servicer under this Agreement;
provided further that each Rating Agency's rating of any of the Classes of
Certificates that have been rated in effect immediately prior to such assignment
and delegation will not be qualified or reduced or withdrawn as a result of such
assignment and delegation. In the case of any such assignment and delegation,
the applicable Servicer and the Master Servicer shall be released from its
obligations as Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable under this Agreement,
except that each Servicer and the Master Servicer shall remain liable for all
liabilities and obligations incurred by it as Servicer or Master Servicer, as
applicable hereunder prior to the satisfaction of the conditions to such
assignment and delegation set forth in the next preceding sentence.
Section 8.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Master Servicer the Trustee and Others. Neither the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of
the Depositor, the Servicers or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability
to the Trustee or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining
from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for
errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Depositor, the Servicers or the Master Servicer against any breach of warranties
or representations made herein, or failure to perform its obligations in strict
compliance with this Agreement, or any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee may rely
in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and
submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. Neither the
Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be under any obligation to
appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its
respective duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this
90
Agreement and which in its opinion may cause it to incur any expenses or
liability; provided, however, that the Depositor, either Servicer, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee may in its discretion (and, in the case of the
Depositor, the Servicers or the Master Servicer, with the consent of the
Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) undertake any such
action which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement
and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the legal
expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be
expenses, costs and liabilities payable from the applicable Collection Account
and the Depositor, the applicable Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee
shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the applicable Collection
Account as provided by Section 4.06; provided that no such right of
reimbursement shall exist with respect to the applicable Servicer when such
claim relates to the failure of the applicable Servicer to service the Mortgage
Loans in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement or to a breach of a
representation or warranty made by the applicable Servicer hereunder.
Section 8.04. Depositor, Servicers and Master Servicer Not to Resign.
Except as described in Section 8.02, neither the Depositor, either Servicer nor
the Master Servicer shall assign this Agreement or resign from the obligations
and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Depositor, each
Servicer, the Master Servicer and all of the Certificateholders unless the
determination is made that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Depositor, either
Servicer or the Master Servicer. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Depositor, either Servicer or the Master Servicer shall be
evidenced by an opinion of independent counsel to such effect delivered to the
Trustee which opinion of counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to
the Trustee. Upon any such assignment or resignation, the Depositor, either
Servicer or the Master Servicer, as appropriate, shall send notice to all
Certificateholders of the effect of such assignment or resignation upon the then
current rating of the Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency whose rating
on such Class is then in effect. No such resignation shall become effective
until a successor shall have assumed the Depositor's the applicable Servicer's
or the Master Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in the
manner provided in Section 8.05. Any purported assignment or resignation which
does not comply with the requirements of this Section shall be of no effect.
Section 8.05. Successor to the Servicers. In connection with the
termination of either Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this
Agreement pursuant to Section 8.04 or 9.01, the Trustee shall (i) succeed to and
assume all of such Servicer's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations
as a Servicer (but not in any other capacity) under this Agreement (except that
the Trustee shall not be obligated to make Advances if prohibited by applicable
law nor to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Section 2.02 and except that the Trustee makes no representations and warranties
pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.02). Prior to the termination of such Servicer's
responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement, the Trustee may
appoint a successor having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and which is
a FNMA or FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing and which shall
succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities of such Servicer under this Agreement, except as aforesaid, if the
Trustee receives a letter from each Rating Agency that such appointment would
not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the current rating of any Class of
Certificates that is rated by a Rating Agency. Any co-trustee appointed pursuant
to Section 10.10 for purposes of this Section 8.05 shall have an obligation to
make Advances pursuant to Section 6.03 during such time as the Trustee is a
Servicer, which obligation shall be joint and several with that of the Trustee
as Servicer. If the Trustee has become the successor to a Servicer in accordance
with this Section or Section 9.03, then notwithstanding the above, the Trustee
may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act,
appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established housing and home finance institution having a net worth of not less
than $15,000,000 and which is a FNMA or FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good
91
standing as the successor to a Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all of
the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a Servicer hereunder. In
connection with any such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage
Loans as it and such successor shall agree or such court shall determine;
provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that
permitted under this Agreement without the consent of all of the
Certificateholders. If either Servicer's duties, responsibilities and
liabilities under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant to Section 8.02,
8.04 or 9.01, such Servicer shall discharge such duties and responsibilities
during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination until
the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence and prudence which
it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall take no action
whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or financial condition of
its successor or the Trust Fund. The resignation or removal of a Servicer
pursuant to Section 8.02, 8.04 or 9.01 shall not become effective until a
successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section and shall in no event
relieve such Servicer of liability for breach of the representations and
warranties made pursuant to Section 3.03.
Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Servicer such successor is succeeding and to the Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become
fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations
and liabilities of such Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a
party to this Agreement and the Certificates. Any termination or resignation of
either Servicer or this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.02, 8.04, 9.01 or 11.01
shall not affect any claims that the Trustee may have against such Servicer for
events or actions taken or not taken by such Servicer arising prior to any such
termination or resignation.
A Servicer succeeded hereunder shall timely deliver to the successor
the funds that were, or were required to be, in its Collection Account and the
Escrow Account, if any, and all Mortgage Files and related documents, statements
and recordkeeping held by it hereunder and such Servicer shall account for all
funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as
may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the
successor all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and
liabilities of such Servicer.
Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the succeeded
Servicer shall notify, in writing, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the
Certificateholders and each Rating Agency of such appointment.
Section 8.06. Maintenance of Ratings. The Servicers shall cooperate
with the Depositor and the Master Servicer and take any action that may be
reasonably necessary to maintain the current rating or ratings on the
Certificates.
Section 8.07. Compensation of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer
shall be entitled to receive the Master Servicer Fee as compensation for
services rendered by the Master Servicer under this Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall pay itself such Master Servicer Fee on each Remittance Date from
amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account.
Section 8.08. Certain Matters Affecting the Master Servicer. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 8.03:
(a) The Master Servicer may rely upon and shall be protected in acting
or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate,
certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper
or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties;
92
(b) The Master Servicer may consult with counsel, and any advice or
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 advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(c) Neither the Master Servicer nor any of its directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it in good faith and believed by it or any of them to be authorized
or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon the Master Servicer
by this Agreement;
(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Master
Servicer to expend its own funds; and
(e) The Master Servicer undertakes to, and is empowered to, perform
such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement.
[END OF ARTICLE VIII]
ARTICLE IX
DEFAULT
Section 9.01. Events of Default. If one or more of the following Events
of Default shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:
(a) any failure by either Servicer to remit any payment required to be
made or distributed under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied
for a period of three (3) Business Days after the date upon which written notice
of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to
such Servicer by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Depositor or to such
Servicer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor by the Holders of
Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests
aggregating not less than 25%; or
(b) a breach by either Servicer in a material respect of any
representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.02, or failure on the part of
such Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of
the covenants or agreements on the part of such Servicer set forth in this
Agreement, which continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on
which written notice of such breach or failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to such Servicer by the Trustee, the Master
Servicer or the Depositor or to such Servicer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer
and the Depositor by the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, as to
such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25%; or
(c) either Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing that it is
unable to make an Advance required to be made in accordance with Section 6.03;
or;
(d) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its
affairs, shall have been entered against either Servicer and such decree or
order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60
days; or
93
(e) either Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator
or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling
of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to such Servicer
or of or relating to all or substantially all of such Servicer's property; or
(f) either Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any
applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.
then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not
have been remedied, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders, the Master
Servicer and each Rating Agency of such Event of Default. The Trustee may, and
at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage
Interests aggregating more than 50%, shall, by notice in writing to the
defaulting Servicer, terminate all the rights and obligations of such Servicer
under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.
On or after the receipt by either Servicer of such written notice, all authority
and power of such Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor
appointed pursuant to Section 8.05. Upon written request from the Trustee, such
Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all documents and other
instruments, place in such successor's possession all Mortgage Files, and 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 Mortgage Loans and related documents, or
otherwise, at such Servicer's sole expense. Each Servicer agrees to cooperate
with the Trustee and any co-trustee in effecting the termination of such
Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation,
the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash amounts
which shall at the time be credited or should have been credited by such
Servicer to the Collection Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with
respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee will have no obligation to take any
action or institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement at
the request, order or direction of any of the Holders of Certificates unless
such Certificateholders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which the Trustee may
incur.
Section 9.02. Waiver of Defaults. The Trustee may waive any default by
either Servicer in the performance of such Servicer's obligations hereunder and
its consequences, except that a default in the making of any required
distribution on any of the Certificates may only be waived by the holders of a
majority of the Percentage Interests of the affected Certificateholders. Upon
any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any
Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for
every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent
expressly so waived.
Section 9.03. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after
the time either Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section
9.01, the Trustee or its appointed agent shall be the successor in all respects
to either Servicer to the extent provided in Section 8.05.
Section 9.04. Notification to Certificateholders and the Rating
Agencies.
(a) Upon any such termination pursuant to Section 9.01, the Trustee
shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their
respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to each Rating
Agency.
94
(b) Within sixty (60) days of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
having received written notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each
such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived.
[END OF ARTICLE IX]
ARTICLE X
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 10.01. Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after
the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to, and
is empowered to, perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically
set forth in this Agreement. Any permissive right of the Trustee as enumerated
in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty; provided that in case an
Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured), the Trustee shall
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use
the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such man's own
affairs.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct, and, if the Trustee is acting as the
successor Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05 or 9.03, its own willful misconduct
with respect to its servicing obligations; provided, however, that:
(a) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the
curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and
obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions
of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of
such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the
Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to
the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(b) The Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in
good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee,
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts; and
(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 Certificateholders of any Class holding Certificates which
evidence, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25%
as to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Trustee, under this Agreement.
Section 10.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 10.01:
(a) The Trustee may rely upon and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate, certificate
of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties;
95
(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and any advice or 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 advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or
defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or
direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall,
however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default (which has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of such man's own affairs;
(d) Neither the Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees
or agents shall be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted
by it in good faith and believed by it or any of them to be authorized or within
the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon the Trustee by this Agreement;
(e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after
the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall
not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing to do so by Holders of Certificates of any Class
evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25%
(in the case of conflicting requests by two or more 25% or greater Percentage
Interests, the Trustee shall act in accordance with the first such request);
provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee
of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making
of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured
to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement,
the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability
as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such
examination shall be paid by the Servicers, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and is continuing, and otherwise by the Certificateholder requesting
the investigation;
(f) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents,
subcontractors or attorneys; and
(g) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Trustee
(acting in its capacity as Trustee) to expend its own funds.
Section 10.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
authentication of the Certificates by an authorized signatory of the Trustee)
shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or the Servicers, as the case
may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The
Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency
of this Agreement or of the Certificates (except that (except as set forth
herein) the Certificates shall be duly and validly executed and authenticated by
it) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document. The Trustee shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or
the Servicers of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such
Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor,
the Master Servicer or the Servicers in respect of the Mortgage Loans or
deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or the Servicer. The Trustee, in its capacity as trustee
hereunder, shall have no responsibility for the timeliness or the amount of
payments made by the Paying Agent to the Certificateholders.
96
Section 10.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were
not Trustee.
Section 10.05. Fees and Expenses.
The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from
time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation
(which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it
in the execution of the trust hereby created and in the exercise and performance
of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and the Master
Servicer will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in
accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of
all persons not regularly in its employ, and the expenses incurred by the
Trustee in connection with the appointment of an office or agency pursuant to
Section 10.11) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise
from its negligence or bad faith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be an entity having its
principal office in a state and city acceptable to the Depositor and organized
and doing business under the laws of such state or the United States of America,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority. The Trustee shall not be an Affiliate
of the Seller, the Master Servicer, either Servicer or the Depositor. If such
entity 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 shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 10.07.
Section 10.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee. The Trustee, and
any co-trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Servicers and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation,
the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or co-trustee by
written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee;
provided that such appointment does not result in a reduction or withdrawal of
the rating of any of the Classes of Certificates that have been rated. If no
successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor trustee.
If at any time, the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 10.06 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver
of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for
the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor
may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed and one copy to the successor trustee.
97
The Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate more than 50%
of Percentage Interest may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by
such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of
which instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the
Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or any resignation of any
co-trustee and appointment of a successor trustee or co-trustee pursuant to any
of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 10.08, or upon
acceptance of appointment by a co-trustee, as applicable, unless with respect to
a co-trustee, the Trustee receives written notice from each Rating Agency that
the failure to appoint a successor co-trustee would not result in a withdrawal
or reduction of the rating of any of the Classes of Certificates that have been
rated, in which case the resignation of any co-trustee shall be effective upon
receipt of such written notice. Any co-trustee may not be removed unless the
Depositor and the Trustee each receive written notice from each Rating Agency
that such removal would not result in a withdrawal or reduction of the rating of
any of the Classes of Certificates that have been rated, in which case the
removal of any co-trustee shall be effective upon receipt of such written
notice.
Section 10.08. Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as
provided in Section 10.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Depositor and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee shall become effective, and such successor trustee shall
become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor
trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it
hereunder, and the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers and the
predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other
things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and
confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 10.06. Prior to the appointment of any
successor trustee becoming effective, the Depositor shall have received from
each Rating Agency written confirmation that such appointment would not result
in a reduction of the rating of the Class A or Class M Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section, the Master Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in
the Certificate Register, to the Servicers, any Sub-Servicer and to each Rating
Agency. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall
cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.
Section 10.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any entity into
which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to
the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
10.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
98
Section 10.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. At any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time
be located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power
and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the
Trustee, of any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons,
in such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee may consider
necessary or desirable. If the Depositor shall not have joined in such
appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in
case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee
alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate
trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor trustee under Section 10.06, hereunder, and no notice to Holders of
Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be
required under Section 10.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 10.10, 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 and severally, except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to either of the Servicers hereunder), the
Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in
which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding
of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction)
shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the
direction of the Trustee.
Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall
refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article X. Each separate
trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be
vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment,
either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein,
subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every
provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability
of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be
filed with the Trustee.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name.
Section 10.11. Appointment of Office or Agency. The Trustee may appoint
an office or agency in The City of New York where Certificates may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee will maintain
an office at the address stated in Section 12.07 hereof where notices and
demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates may be served.

ARTICLE XI
TERMINATION
Section 11.01. Termination. The respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, the Servicers, the Master Servicer (except
the duty to pay the Trustee's fees and expenses and indemnification hereunder)
and the Trustee shall terminate upon (i) the later of the final payment or other
liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or
the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the remittance of all funds due hereunder;
or (ii) at the option of Countrywide (or any successor thereto under this
Agreement), on any Distribution Date which occurs in the month next following a
Due Date on which the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of all Outstanding
Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans on the Cut-off Date, so long as Countrywide (or any such
successor) deposits or causes to be deposited in the Collection Account during
the Principal Prepayment Period related to such Distribution Date (and provides
notice to the Trustee and the Master Servicer of its intention to so deposit on
or before 20th day of such Principal Prepayment Period) an amount equal to the
greater of (A) the Purchase Price for each Outstanding Mortgage Loan, less any
unreimbursed Advances made with respect to any Mortgage Loan (which amount shall
offset completely any unreimbursed Advances for which either Servicer is
otherwise entitled to reimbursement), and, with respect to all property acquired
in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, an amount equal to
the fair market value of such property, as determined by an appraisal to be
conducted by an appraiser selected by the Trustee, less unreimbursed Advances
made with respect to any Mortgage Loan with respect to which property has been
acquired and (B) the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Class A,
Class M, Class B-1, and Class B-2 Certificates plus any accrued and unpaid
interest therein at the Remittance Rate; provided, however, that prior to taking
such action under this Section 11.01, Countrywide shall provide notice of its
intention to repurchase the Mortgage Loans to CMMC and CMMC will have the
option, but not the obligation to repurchase the CMMC Serviced Mortgage Loans,
as described above; provided, further, that in no event shall the trust created
hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last
survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the
United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination may be effected by the making of
such optional repurchases only if the termination of each REMIC Pool satisfies
the requirement for a "qualified liquidation" of each REMIC Pool within the
meaning of Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code and that the purchases of the
Outstanding Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 11.01 will not constitute
"prohibited transactions" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code.
Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon which
all Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee or, if a
Paying Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 4.05, the Paying Agent for
payment and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee or, if a Paying
Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, (upon direction
by the Depositor ten (10) days prior to the date such notice is to be mailed) by
signed letter to Certificateholders and each Rating Agency mailed no later than
the 25th day of the month preceding the month of such final distribution
specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which final payment on the
Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the
office or agency of the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under
Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, therein designated and (ii) that the Record Date
otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being
made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or
agency of the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section
4.05, the Paying Agent, therein specified. The Servicers shall indicate the date
of adoption of the plan of qualified liquidation in a statement attached to the
final federal income tax return of each REMIC Pool. After giving such notice,
the Trustee or if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the
Paying Agent shall not register the transfer or exchange of any Certificates. If
such notice is given in connection with Countrywide's election to purchase the
Outstanding Mortgage Loans, Countrywide shall deposit in the applicable
Collection Account after adoption of the plan during the applicable Principal
Prepayment Period an amount equal to the purchase price as determined as
provided in clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph and on the Distribution Date
on which such termination is to occur, Certificateholders will be entitled to
the amount of such purchase price but not amounts in excess thereof, all as
provided herein. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Master
Servicer shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders an amount equal to
(a) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date, if not in
connection with a purchase; or (b) if Countrywide elected to so purchase, the
purchase price determined as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph.
Following such final deposit the Trustee shall promptly release to the
applicable Servicer the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the
Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments
necessary to effectuate such transfer and shall have no further responsibility
with regard to said Mortgage Files.
100
If all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates
for cancellation within 3 months after the time specified in the above-mentioned
written notice, at the close of the 90 day period beginning after the written
notice is given, each remaining Certificateholder will be credited with an
amount that would have been otherwise distributed to such Certificateholder, and
the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the
Paying Agent, shall give a second written notice to the remaining
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within three (3) months after
the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section
4.05, the Paying Agent, shall appoint an agent to take appropriate and
reasonable steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the
funds and other assets which remain in the Trust Fund hereunder.

covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any

provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.
Section 12.02. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or
incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal
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 Fund, nor
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 herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management
of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything
herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so
as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members
of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any
third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of
this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law
upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously
shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the
continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and the Holders of Certificates
of any Class evidencing in the aggregate not less than 25% of the Percentage
Interests of such Class shall have made written request upon the Trustee to
institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder
(in the case of conflicting requests by two or more 25% or greater Percentage
Interests, the Trustee shall act in accordance with the first such request) 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 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer
of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit
or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted
by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee,
that no one or more Holders of Certificates of any Class shall have any right in
any manner whatever by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates
of such Class or any other Class, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over
or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this
Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of
Certificateholders of such Class or all Classes, as the case may be. 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.
101
Section 12.03. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers and the Trustee,
without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to
correct or supplement any provisions herein which may be inconsistent with any
other provisions herein, to ensure continuing treatment of each REMIC Pool as a
REMIC, to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on either REMIC
Pool pursuant to the Code, or to make any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be materially
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, provided that such actions
shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder of a Class having an
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of greater than zero or cause either
REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Servicers and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the
Percentage Interest of each Class of Certificates having an Outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance greater than zero and affected thereby for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of
the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any class the Holders of which are
required to consent to any such amendment or (iii) change the percentage
specified in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 11.01, without the
consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this
Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, Master Servicer,
the Servicers and the Trustee with the consent of Certificateholders evidencing
not less than 66-2/3% of the interests held by parties other than the Depositor,
its Affiliates or its agents, for the purposes of significantly changing the
Permitted Activities of the Trust.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall
furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each
Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section 12.03 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.
Section 12.04. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.

existence and effect until terminated as herein provided.

REVERSE OF CERTIFICATE
MULTI-CLASS MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
SERIES 2002-S4
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates,
designated as Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2002-S4,
issued in one or more Classes of Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates. The
Class A Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class A Percentage of
distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on the Mortgage
Loans. The Class M Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class M Percentage
of distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on the
Mortgage Loans. The Class B Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class B
Percentage of distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on
the Mortgage Loans.
Following the initial issuance of the Certificates, the Principal
Balance of this Certificate will be different from the Original Denomination
shown above. Anyone acquiring this Certificate may ascertain its current
Principal Balance by inquiry of the Trustee.
The Holder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund and certain amounts resulting from credit
enhancements for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the
Holders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or,
except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under
the Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
The Trustee will cause to be kept at its Agency & Trust Office in New
York, New York, or at the office of any Paying Agent appointed under the
Agreement, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee (or any Paying Agent, as the case
may be) will provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has
been appointed under Section 4.05 of the Agreement, the Paying Agent, maintained
for such purpose, the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under
Section 4.05 of the Agreement, the Paying Agent, will, subject to the
limitations set forth in the Agreement, authenticate and deliver, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees, a Certificate of a like Class and
dated the date of authentication by the Authenticating Agent.
No service charge will be made to the Holder for any transfer or
exchange of the Certificate, but the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05 of the Agreement, the Paying Agent, 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 the Certificate. Prior to
due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Servicers and the Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate and the
Percentage Interest in the Trust Fund evidenced thereby for the purpose of
receiving distributions pursuant to the Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the
Paying Agent nor the Trustee will be affected by notice to the contrary.
C-5
The Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Servicers and the Trustee, without the consent of any of
the Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions therein which may be inconsistent with the other provisions therein,
to ensure continuing treatment of each REMIC (as hereinafter defined) included
in the Trust Fund as a REMIC, or to make any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising under the Agreement which are not materially
inconsistent with the provisions of the Agreement, provided that such action
does not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or cause either of the
REMICs included in the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
The Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Servicers and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of the Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of
the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such
amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are
required to consent to any such amendment or (iii) change the percentage
specified in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 11.01 of the
Agreement, without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class
then outstanding.
The Depositor intends to cause an election to be made to treat the
segregated pool comprising the assets of the Trust Fund (the "Subsidiary REMIC")
as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a "REMIC") for federal income tax
purposes. The Depositor intends to cause an election to be made to treat the
pool of assets represented by the "regular interests" in the Subsidiary REMIC as
a separate REMIC (the "Master REMIC"). The Class A Certificates (other than the
Class A-R Certificate), the Class M Certificates and the Class B Certificates
will constitute "regular interests" in the Master REMIC. The Class A-R
Certificate will represent the sole class of "residual interest" in each of the
Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Servicers (except the duty to pay the Trustee's fees and
expenses and indemnification hereunder) and the Trustee shall terminate upon (i)
the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of all property acquired
upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the
remittance of all funds due hereunder; or (ii) at the option of Countrywide
Servicing, on any Distribution Date which occurs in the month next following a
Due Date on which the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of all Outstanding
Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans on the Cut-off Date, so long as Countrywide Servicing deposits or
causes to be deposited in the applicable Collection Account during the Principal
Prepayment Period related to such Distribution Date (and provides notice to the
Trustee of its intention to so deposit on or before the 20th day of such
Principal Prepayment Period) an amount equal to the greater of (A) the Purchase
C-6
Price for each Outstanding Mortgage Loan, less any unreimbursed Advances made
with respect to any Mortgage Loan (which amount shall offset completely any
unreimbursed Advances for which the Servicers are otherwise entitled to
reimbursement), and, with respect to all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, an amount equal to the fair market
value of such property, as determined by an appraisal to be conducted by an
appraiser selected by the Trustee, less unreimbursed Advances made with respect
to any Mortgage Loan with respect to which property has been acquired and (B)
the aggregate Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A, Class M,
Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates, plus any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon at the Remittance Rate; provided, however, that in no event shall the
trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death
of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late
ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date

Class A Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class A Percentage of
distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on the Mortgage
Loans. The Class M Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class M Percentage
of distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on the
Mortgage Loans. The Class B Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class B

Following the initial issuance of the Certificates, the Principal
Balance of this Certificate will be different from the Original Denomination

The Holder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund and certain amounts resulting from credit
enhancements for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the
Holders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or,
except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under
the Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
The Trustee will cause to be kept at its Agency & Trust Office in New
York, New York, or at the office of any Paying Agent appointed under the

regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee (or any Paying Agent, as the case
may be) will provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has
been appointed under Section 4.05 of the Agreement, the Paying Agent, maintained
for such purpose, the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under
Section 4.05 of the Agreement, the Paying Agent, will, subject to the

the designated transferee or transferees, a Certificate of a like Class and
dated the date of authentication by the Authenticating Agent.
No service charge will be made to the Holder for any transfer or
exchange of the Certificate, but the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05 of the Agreement, the Paying Agent, 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 the Certificate. Prior to
due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Servicers and the Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate and the
Percentage Interest in the Trust Fund evidenced thereby for the purpose of
receiving distributions pursuant to the Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the
Paying Agent nor the Trustee will be affected by notice to the contrary.
D-6
The Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Servicers and the Trustee, without the consent of any of
the Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions therein which may be inconsistent with the other provisions therein,
to ensure continuing treatment of each REMIC (as hereinafter defined) included
in the Trust Fund as a REMIC, or to make any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising under the Agreement which are not materially
inconsistent with the provisions of the Agreement, provided that such action
does not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or cause either of the
REMICs included in the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
The Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Servicers and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of the Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of
the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such
amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are
required to consent to any such amendment or (iii) change the percentage
specified in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 11.01 of the
Agreement, without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class
then outstanding.
The Depositor intends to cause an election to be made to treat the
segregated pool comprising the assets of the Trust Fund (the "Subsidiary REMIC")
as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a "REMIC") for federal income tax
purposes. The Depositor intends to cause an election to be made to treat the
pool of assets represented by the "regular interests" in the Subsidiary REMIC as
a separate REMIC (the "Master REMIC"). The Class A Certificates (other than the
Class A-R Certificate), the Class M Certificates and the Class B Certificates
will constitute "regular interests" in the Master REMIC. The Class A-R
Certificate will represent the sole class of "residual interest" in each of the
Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Servicers (except the duty to pay the Trustee's fees and
expenses and indemnification hereunder) and the Trustee shall terminate upon (i)
the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of all property acquired
upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the
remittance of all funds due hereunder; or (ii) at the option of Countrywide
Servicing, on any Distribution Date which occurs in the month next following a
Due Date on which the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of all Outstanding
Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans on the Cut-off Date, so long as Countrywide Servicing deposits or
causes to be deposited in the applicable Collection Account during the Principal
Prepayment Period related to such Distribution Date (and provides notice to the
Trustee of its intention to so deposit on or before the 20th day of such
D-7
Principal Prepayment Period) an amount equal to the greater of (A) the Purchase
Price for each Outstanding Mortgage Loan, less any unreimbursed Advances made
with respect to any Mortgage Loan (which amount shall offset completely any
unreimbursed Advances for which the Servicers are otherwise entitled to
reimbursement), and, with respect to all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, an amount equal to the fair market
value of such property, as determined by an appraisal to be conducted by an
appraiser selected by the Trustee, less unreimbursed Advances made with respect
to any Mortgage Loan with respect to which property has been acquired and (B)

Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates, plus any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon at the Remittance Rate; provided, however, that in no event shall the

MULTI-CLASS MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
SERIES 2002-S4
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates,
designated as Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2002-S4,
issued in one or more Classes of Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates. The
Class A Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class A Percentage of
distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on the Mortgage
Loans. The Class M Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class M Percentage
of distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on the
Mortgage Loans. The Class B Certificates evidence in the aggregate the Class B
Percentage of distributions relating to repayments of principal and interest on
the Mortgage Loans.
Following the initial issuance of the Certificates, the Principal
Balance of this Certificate will be different from the Original Denomination
shown above. Anyone acquiring this Certificate may ascertain its current
Principal Balance by inquiry of the Trustee.
The Holder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will
look solely to the Trust Fund and certain amounts resulting from credit
enhancements for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the
Holders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or,
except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under
the Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
The Trustee will cause to be kept at its Agency & Trust Office in New
York, New York, or at the office of any Paying Agent appointed under the
Agreement, a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee (or any Paying Agent, as the case
may be) will provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has
been appointed under Section 4.05 of the Agreement, the Paying Agent, maintained
for such purpose, the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under
Section 4.05 of the Agreement, the Paying Agent, will, subject to the
limitations set forth in the Agreement, authenticate and deliver, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees, a Certificate of a like Class and
dated the date of authentication by the Authenticating Agent.
No service charge will be made to the Holder for any transfer or
exchange of the Certificate, but the Trustee, or, if a Paying Agent has been
appointed under Section 4.05 of the Agreement, the Paying Agent, 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 the Certificate. Prior to
due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Servicers and the Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate and the
Percentage Interest in the Trust Fund evidenced thereby for the purpose of
receiving distributions pursuant to the Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the
Paying Agent nor the Trustee will be affected by notice to the contrary.
F-6
The Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Servicers and the Trustee, without the consent of any of
the Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions therein which may be inconsistent with the other provisions therein,
to ensure continuing treatment of each REMIC (as hereinafter defined) included
in the Trust Fund as a REMIC, or to make any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising under the Agreement which are not materially
inconsistent with the provisions of the Agreement, provided that such action
does not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or cause either of the
REMICs included in the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
The Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Servicers and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66-2/3% of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of the Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of
the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such
amendment may (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) reduce
the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are
required to consent to any such amendment or (iii) change the percentage
specified in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 11.01 of the
Agreement, without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class
then outstanding.
The Depositor intends to cause an election to be made to treat the
segregated pool comprising the assets of the Trust Fund (the "Subsidiary REMIC")
as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a "REMIC") for federal income tax
purposes. The Depositor intends to cause an election to be made to treat the
pool of assets represented by the "regular interests" in the Subsidiary REMIC as
a separate REMIC (the "Master REMIC"). The Class A Certificates (other than the
Class A-R Certificate), the Class M Certificates and the Class B Certificates
will constitute "regular interests" in the Master REMIC. The Class A-R
Certificate will represent the sole class of "residual interest" in each of the
Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Servicers (except the duty to pay the Trustee's fees and
expenses and indemnification hereunder) and the Trustee shall terminate upon (i)
the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or the disposition of all property acquired
upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and the
remittance of all funds due hereunder; or (ii) at the option of Countrywide
Servicing, on any Distribution Date which occurs in the month next following a
Due Date on which the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of all Outstanding
Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the aggregate unpaid Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans on the Cut-off Date, so long as Countrywide Servicing deposits or
causes to be deposited in the applicable Collection Account during the Principal
Prepayment Period related to such Distribution Date (and provides notice to the
Trustee of its intention to so deposit on or before the 20th day of such
F-7
Principal Prepayment Period) an amount equal to the greater of (A) the Purchase
Price for each Outstanding Mortgage Loan, less any unreimbursed Advances made
with respect to any Mortgage Loan (which amount shall offset completely any
unreimbursed Advances for which the Servicers are otherwise entitled to
reimbursement), and, with respect to all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, an amount equal to the fair market
value of such property, as determined by an appraisal to be conducted by an
appraiser selected by the Trustee, less unreimbursed Advances made with respect
to any Mortgage Loan with respect to which property has been acquired and (B)
the aggregate Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A, Class M,
Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates, plus any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon at the Remittance Rate; provided, however, that in no event shall the
trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death
of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late
ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date

1. In connection with the performance of its duties under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement relating to the realization upon defaulted Mortgage
Loans, the Company, as Servicer, shall provide to the Purchaser the following
notices and reports:
(a) Within five Business Days after each Distribution Date (or
included in or with the monthly statement to Certificateholders pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Company shall provide to the Purchaser a
report indicating for the Trust the number of Mortgage Loans that are (A) thirty
days, (B) sixty days, (C) ninety days or more delinquent or (D) in foreclosure,
and indicating for each such Mortgage Loan the outstanding principal balance.
(b) Prior to the Commencement of Foreclosure in connection
with any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with a notice
(sent by telecopier) of such proposed and imminent foreclosure, stating the loan
number and the aggregate amount owing under the Mortgage Loan.
2. If requested by the Purchaser, the Company shall make its servicing
personnel available (during their normal business hours) to respond to
reasonable inquiries by the Purchaser in connection with any Mortgage Loan
identified in a report under subsection (a)(i)(B), (a)(i)(C), (a)(i)(D) or
(a)(ii) which has been given to the Purchaser; provided, that (1) the Company
shall only be required to provide information that is readily accessible to its
servicing personnel and is non-confidential and (2) the Company shall not be
required to provide any written information under this subsection.
3. In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall provide to the
Purchaser such information as the Purchaser may reasonably request concerning
each Mortgage Loan that is at least sixty days delinquent and each Mortgage Loan
which has become real estate owned, through the final liquidation thereof;
provided that the Company shall only be required to provide information that is
readily accessible to its servicing personnel and is non-confidential.
(a) With respect to all Mortgage Loans which are serviced at
any time by the Company through a Subservicer, the Company shall be entitled to
rely for all purposes hereunder, including for purposes of fulfilling its
reporting obligations under this Section 2.01 on the accuracy and completeness
of any information provided to it by the applicable Subservicer.
Section 2.02 Purchaser's Election to Delay Foreclosure Proceedings.
The Purchaser directs the Company that in the event that the Company
does not receive written notice of the Purchaser's election pursuant to
subsection (b) below within 24 hours (exclusive of any intervening non-Business
Days) of transmission of the notice provided by the Company under Section
2.01(a)(ii), subject to extension as set forth in Section 2.02(b), the Company
shall proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure in respect of such Mortgage
Loan in accordance with its normal foreclosure policies without further notice
to the Purchaser. Any foreclosure that has been initiated may be discontinued
(i) without notice to the Purchaser, if the Mortgage Loan has been brought
current or if a refinancing or prepayment occurs with respect to the Mortgage
Loan (including by means of a short payoff approved by the Company) (ii) with
notice to the Purchaser if the Company has reached the terms of a forbearance
agreement with the borrower. In such latter case the Company may complete such
forbearance agreement unless instructed otherwise by the Purchaser within one
Business Day of notification.
J-3
2. In connection with any Mortgage Loan with respect to which a notice
under Section 2.01(a)(ii) has been given to the Purchaser, the Purchaser may
elect, for reasonable cause as determined by the Purchaser, to instruct the
Company to delay the Commencement of Foreclosure until such term as the
Purchaser determines that the Company may proceed with the Commencement of
Foreclosure. Such election must be evidenced by written notice received within
24 hours (exclusive of any intervening non-Business Days) of transmission of the
notice provided by the Company under Section 2.01(a)(ii). Such 24 hour period
shall be extended for no longer than an additional four Business Days after the
receipt of the information if the Purchaser requests additional information
related to such foreclosure; provided, however that the Purchaser will have at
least one Business Day to respond to any requested additional information. Any
such additional information shall (i) not be confidential in nature and (ii) be
obtainable by the Company from existing reports, certificates or statements or
otherwise be readily accessible to its servicing personnel. The Purchaser agrees
that it has no right to deal with the Mortgagor. If the Company's normal
foreclosure policy includes acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or short
payoff, the Purchaser will be notified and given one Business Day to respond.
3. With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made
an Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Purchaser shall obtain a Current Appraisal
as soon as practicable, and shall provide the Company with a copy of such
Current Appraisal.
4. Within two Business Days of making any Election to Delay
Foreclosure, the Purchaser shall remit by wire transfer to the Company, for
deposit in the Collateral Fund, an amount, as calculated by the Company, equal
to the sum of (i) 125% of the greater of the outstanding Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loan and the value shown in the Current Appraisal referred to in
subsection (c) above (or, if such Current Appraisal has not yet been obtained,
the Company's estimate thereof, in which case the required deposit under this
subsection shall be adjusted upon obtaining of such Current Appraisal), and (ii)
three months' interest on the Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Rate. If
any Election to Delay Foreclosure extends for a period in excess of three months
(such excess period being referred to herein as the "Excess Period"), the
Purchaser shall remit by wire transfer in advance to the Company for deposit in
the Collateral Fund the amount, as calculated by the Company, equal to interest
on the Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Rate for the Excess Period. The
terms of this Agreement shall no longer apply to the servicing of any Mortgage
Loan upon the failure of the Purchaser to deposit the above amounts relating to
the Mortgage Loan within two Business Days of the Election to Delay Foreclosure.
5. With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made
an Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Company may withdraw from the Collateral
Fund from time to time amounts necessary to reimburse the Company for all
Advances and Liquidation Expenses thereafter made by the Company as Servicer in
accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent that the
amount of any such Liquidation Expense is determined by the Company based on
estimated costs, and the actual costs are subsequently determined to be higher,
the Company may withdraw the additional amount from the Collateral Fund. In the
event that the Mortgage Loan is brought current by the Mortgagor and the
foreclosure action is discontinued, the amounts so withdrawn from the Collateral
Fund shall be redeposited therein as and to the extent that reimbursement
therefor from amounts paid by the Mortgagor is not prohibited pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Except as provided in the preceding sentence,
amounts withdrawn from the Collateral Fund to cover Advances and Liquidation
Expenses shall not be redeposited therein or otherwise reimbursed to the
Purchaser. If and when any such Mortgage Loan is brought current by the
Mortgagor, all amounts remaining in the Collateral Fund in respect of such
Mortgage Loan (after adjustment for all withdrawals and deposits pursuant to
this subsection) shall be released to the Purchaser.
J-4
6. With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made
an Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Company shall continue to service the
Mortgage Loan in accordance with its customary procedures (other than the delay
in Commencement of Foreclosure as provided herein). If and when the Purchaser
shall notify the Company that it believes that it is appropriate to do so, the
Company shall proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure. In any event, if the
Mortgage Loan is not brought current by the Mortgagor by the time the loan
becomes 6 months delinquent, the Purchaser's election shall no longer be
effective and at the Purchaser's option, either (i) the Purchaser shall purchase
the Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at a purchase price equal to the fair
market value as shown on the Current Appraisal, to be paid by (x) applying any
balance in the Collateral Fund to such purchase price, and (y) to the extent of
any deficiency, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company
or Trustee; or (ii) the Company shall proceed with the Commencement of
Foreclosure.
7. Upon the occurrence of a liquidation with respect to any Mortgage
Loan as to which the Purchaser made an Election to Delay Foreclosure and as to
which the Company proceeded with the Commencement of Foreclosure in accordance
with subsection (f) above, the Company shall calculate the amount, if any, by
which the value shown on the Current Appraisal obtained under subsection (c)
exceeds the actual sales price obtained for the related Mortgaged Property (or
stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case of a Co-op Loan) (net of
Liquidation Expenses and accrued interest related to the extended foreclosure
period), and the Company shall withdraw the amount of such excess from the
Collateral Fund, shall remit the same to the Trust Fund and in its capacity as
Servicer shall apply such amount as additional Liquidation Proceeds pursuant to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. After making such withdrawal, all amounts
remaining in the Collateral Fund in respect of such Mortgage Loan (after
adjustment for all withdrawals and deposits pursuant to subsection (e)) shall be
released to the Purchaser.
Section 2.03 Purchaser's Election to Commence Foreclosure Proceedings.
In connection with any Mortgage Loan identified in a report under Section
2.01(a)(i)(B), the Purchaser may elect, for reasonable cause as determined by
the Purchaser, to instruct the Company to proceed with the Commencement of
Foreclosure as soon as practicable. Such election must be evidenced by written
notice received by the Company by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third
Business Day following the delivery of such report under Section 2.01(a)(i).
Within two Business Days of making any Election to Foreclose, the Purchaser
shall remit to the Company, for deposit in the Collateral Fund, an amount, as
calculated by the Company, equal to 125% of the current Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loan and three months' interest on the Mortgage Loan at the applicable
Mortgage Rate. If and when any such Mortgage Loan is brought current by the
Mortgagor, all amounts in the Collateral Fund in respect of such Mortgage Loan
shall be released to the Purchaser. The terms of this Agreement shall no longer
apply to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan upon the failure of the Purchaser to
deposit the above amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans within two Business
Days at the Election to Foreclose.
J-5
With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an Election
to Foreclose, the Company shall continue to service the Mortgage Loan in
accordance with its customary procedures (other than to proceed with the
Commencement of Foreclosure as provided herein). In connection therewith, the
Company shall have the same rights to make withdrawals for Advances and
Liquidation Expenses from the Collateral Fund as are provided under Section
2.02(e), and the Company shall make reimbursements thereto to the limited extent
provided under such subsection. The Company shall not be required to proceed
with the Commencement of Foreclosure if (i) the same is stayed as a result of
the Mortgagor's bankruptcy or is otherwise barred by applicable law, or to the
extent that all legal conditions precedent thereto have not yet been complied
with or (ii) the Company believes there is a breach of representation or
warranties by the Company, which may result in a repurchase or substitution of
such Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the Company reasonably believes the Mortgaged
Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) may be
contaminated with or affected by hazardous wastes or hazardous substances (and
the Company supplies the Purchaser with information supporting such belief). The
Company will repurchase or substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the preceding
clause (ii) within the time period specified in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Any foreclosure that has been initiated may be discontinued (i)
without notice to the Purchaser if the Mortgage Loan has been brought current or
if a refinancing or prepayment occurs with respect to the Mortgage Loan
(including by means of a short payoff approved by the Company), or (ii) with
notice to the Purchaser if the Company has reached the terms of a forbearance
agreement unless instructed otherwise by the Purchaser within two Business Days
of notification.
Upon the occurrence of a liquidation with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to
which the Purchaser made an Election to Foreclose and as to which the Company
proceeded with the Commencement of Foreclosure in accordance with subsection (c)
above, the Company shall calculate the amount, if any, by which the Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loan at the time of liquidation (plus all unreimbursed
Advances and Liquidation Expenses in connection therewith other than those paid
from the Collateral Fund) exceeds the actual sales price obtained for the
related Mortgaged Property (or stock allocated to a dwelling unit, in the case
of a Co-op Loan), and the Company shall withdraw the amount of such excess from
the Collateral Fund, shall remit the same to the Trust Fund and in its capacity
as Servicer shall apply such amount as additional Liquidation Proceeds pursuant
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. After making such withdrawal, all
amounts remaining in the Collateral Fund (after adjustment for all withdrawals
and deposits pursuant to subsection (c)) in respect of such Mortgage Loan shall
be released to the Purchaser.
Section 2.04 Termination.
With respect to all Mortgage Loans included in the Trust Fund, the Purchaser's
rights to make any Election to Delay Foreclosure or any Election to Foreclose
and the Company's obligations under Section 2.01 shall terminate (i) at such
time as the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-5 Certificates has been
reduced to zero, (ii) if the greater of (x) __% (or such lower or higher
percentages that represents the Company's actual historical loss experience with
respect to the Mortgage Loans in the related pool) of the aggregate principal
balance of all Mortgage Loans that are in foreclosure or are more than 90 days
delinquent on a contractual basis and REO properties or if the aggregate amount
that the Company estimates will be required to be withdrawn from the Collateral
Fund with respect to Mortgage Loans as to which the Purchaser has made an
Election to Delay Foreclosure or an Election to Foreclose exceeds (z) the
Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B-5 Certificates, or
(iii) upon any transfer by the Purchaser of any interest (other than the
minority interest therein, but only if the transferee provides written
acknowledgment to the Company of the Purchaser's right hereunder and that such
transferee will have no rights hereunder) in the Class B-5 Certificates (whether
or not such transfer is registered under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement),
including any such transfer in connection with a termination of the Trust Fund.
Except as set forth above, this Agreement and the respective rights, obligations
and responsibilities of the Purchaser and the Company hereunder shall terminate

Neither the Servicer nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents
shall be under any liability for any action taken or for refraining from the
taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in
judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer
or any such Person 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 Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent thereof may

Company to fail to take any action necessary to maintain the status of any such
REMIC as a REMIC.

Investments in which such amounts are invested (and the distributions and

thereof (all of the foregoing collectively, the "Collateral").
The Purchaser acknowledges the lien on and security interest in the Collateral

requested by the Company or the Trustee as may be reasonably necessary to
perfect the security interest created under this Agreement in the Collateral and
cause it to be prior to all other security interests and liens, including the

statements in accordance with applicable law. The Company shall file appropriate
continuation statements, or appoint an agent on its behalf to file such
statements, in accordance with applicable law.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We propose to purchase Chase Mortgage Finance Corporation's Multi-Class
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2002-S4, Class A-R, described in the
Prospectus Supplement, dated February 22, 2002 and Prospectus, dated January 24,
2002.
We certify that (a) we are not a disqualified organization and (b) we
are not purchasing such Class A-R Certificate on behalf of a disqualified
organization; for this purpose the term "disqualified organization" means the
United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any foreign
government, any international organization, any agency or instrumentality of any
of the foregoing (except any entity treated as other than an instrumentality of
the foregoing for purposes of Section 168(h)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code")), any organization (other than a cooperative
described in Section 521 of the Code) that is exempt from taxation under the
Code (unless such organization is subject to tax on excess inclusions) and any
organization that is described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code. We
understand that any breach by us of this certification may cause us to be liable
for an excise tax imposed upon transfers to disqualified organizations.
We certify that we are not an employee benefit plan subject to Section
406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")
or Section 4975 of the Code or materially similar provisions or applicable
federal, state or local law, nor a person acting directly or indirectly on
behalf of, as investment manager of, or named fiduciary of, or trustee of any
such plan or using the assets of such plan.
We certify that (a) we have historically paid our debts as they became
due, (b) we intend, and believe that we will be able, to continue to pay our
debts as they become due in the future, (c) we understand that, as beneficial
owner of the Class A-R Certificate, we may incur tax liabilities in excess of

We acknowledge that we will be the beneficial owner of the Class A-R

our nominee, ____________________, which is not a

Unless Chase Mortgage Finance Corporation ("CMFC") has consented to the
transfer to us by executing the form of Consent affixed hereto as Appendix B, we
certify that we are a U.S. person; for this purpose the term "U.S. Person" means
a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation or partnership
(unless, in the case of a partnership, Treasury regulations are adopted that
provide otherwise) created or organized in or under the laws of the United
States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, including an entity
treated as a corporation or partnership for federal income tax purposes, an
estate whose income is subject to Unites States federal income tax regardless of
its source, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise
primary supervision over the administration of such trust, and one or more such
U.S. Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such
trust, (or, to the extent provided in applicable Treasury regulations, certain
trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 which are eligible to elect to be treated
as U.S. Persons). We agree that any breach by us of this certification shall
render the transfer of any interest in the Class A-R Certificate to us
absolutely null and void and shall cause no rights in the Class A-R Certificate
to vest in us.
We agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to transfer
any interest in the Class A-R Certificate, we will transfer such interest in the
Class A-R Certificate only (a) to a transferee that (i) is not a disqualified
organization and is not purchasing such interest in the Class A-R Certificate on
behalf of a disqualified organization, (ii) is a U.S. person and (iii) has
delivered to CMFC a letter in the form of this letter (including the affidavit
appended hereto) and, if requested by CMFC, an opinion of counsel (in a form
acceptable to CMFC) that the proposed transfer will not cause the interest in
the Class A-R Certificate to be held by a disqualified organization or a person
who is not a U.S. person or (b) with the written consent of CMFC.
We hereby designate Chase Manhattan Mortgage Corporation as our
fiduciary to act as the tax matters person for each REMIC included in the Trust
Fund created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of
February 1, 2002 with respect to the Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through
