the authenticity of any signature on any of the documents received or examined
by it in connection with this Agreement or the authority or capacity of any
person to execute or issue any such document.
(d) By its execution of this Agreement and in acknowledging receipt of
the PWRES Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(a), the Trustee confirms, as of
the Closing Date, that it is in possession of a Mortgage File for each PWRES
Mortgage Loan listed on the Schedule of Mortgage Loans; all documents required
to be in the Mortgage File are in its possession; such documents have been
reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and relate to such PWRES
Mortgage Loan; and based on its examination and only as to the foregoing
documents, the Schedule of Mortgage Loans accurately reflects information set
forth in the Mortgage File. It is understood that in making the foregoing
confirmation, the Trustee shall examine the Mortgage File to confirm solely
that:
-31-
(i) the Mortgage Note and Mortgage each appear to bear an
original signature or signatures purporting to be the signature or
signatures of the Person or Persons named as the Mortgagor or in the
case of copies, that such copies bear a reproduction of such signature
or signatures;
(ii) except for the endorsement to the Trustee or Custodian,
neither the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage nor the assignment of the
Mortgage contain any notations on their face which evidence any
unsatisfied claims, liens, security interests, encumbrances or
restrictions on transfer;
(iii) the principal amount of the indebtedness secured by the
Mortgage is not less than the outstanding principal amount of the
Mortgage Note as set forth on the Schedule of Mortgage Loans;
(iv) the Mortgage Note appears to bear original endorsements
which complete the chain of ownership from the named holder or payee
endorsing the Mortgage Note to the order of "Texas Commerce Bank
National Association, as Trustee or Custodian for the CMC Securities
Corporation II REMIC Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1996-C, without
recourse;"
(v) each original of the assignment of Mortgage and any
intervening assignments of the Mortgage, if applicable, appear to bear
the original signature of the named mortgagee or beneficiary including
any subsequent assignors, as applicable, or in the case of copies
permitted, that such copies appear to bear a reproduction of such
signature or signatures (but as to each assignment of the Mortgage
without verification of the accuracy of the recording information of
the related Mortgage contained within the body of such assignment);
(vi) the description of the real property set forth in either the
title insurance policy or the written commitment for the issuance of
the title insurance policy is substantially identical to the real
property description contained in the Mortgage; and
(vii) the title insurance policy is not less than the
outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Note as set forth on the
Schedule of Mortgage Loans (but no confirmation of the amount so
insured in comparison to the outstanding principal amount of the
Mortgage Note shall be made with respect to the written commitment to
issue the title insurance policy).
In giving each of the certifications required above, the Trustee shall be under
no duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such documents,
instruments, securities or other papers to determine that they or the signatures
thereon are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose,
(ii) to verify, other than by examination of the Mortgage File, that any such
documents, instruments, securities or other papers have actually been recorded
or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (iii) to
determine whether any Mortgage File should include any assumption agreement or
modification agreement specified in Section 2.2(b)(v) or any document specified
in Section 2.2(b)(viii). If the Trustee has determined that the Mortgage Files
so
-32-
received satisfy the requirements of this Section 2.3(d), the Trustee shall
authenticate the Certificates upon the order of the Company.
Section 2.4 Repurchase of Mortgage Loans. In the event that either the
----------------------------
Company, the Administrator, the Trustee or the Certificate Insurer discovers a
material breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by
any Originator or PWRES with respect to a PWRES Mortgage Loan pursuant to the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, any material defect or inaccuracy of any
Mortgage or other documents constituting a part of the Mortgage File, or in any
other certificate relating hereto, and, which breach or defect is such that,
unless cured as provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as applicable,
the related Originator or PWRES would be required to repurchase such PWRES
Mortgage Loan (each, a "Defective Mortgage Loan") under the terms of such
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the party discovering such breach or defect
shall give prompt written notice to the other parties hereto and to the
applicable Originator or to PWRES, and the Trustee shall pursue its remedies
under Sections 7 and/or 8 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (as
applicable) in respect thereof. The Repurchase Price payable under the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement for any Defective Mortgage Loan shall be remitted when
received to the Certificate Account for the benefit of the Certificateholders
and the Certificate Insurer and, upon receipt by the Trustee of the items set
forth in Section 7.10(b) with respect thereto, the Trustee shall deliver the
related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer
or assignment as provided in Section 7.10(b). It is understood and agreed that
the obligation of the applicable Originator or PWRES to repurchase any Defective
Mortgage Loan and (if applicable) the indemnity obligations of PWRES under
Section 14(a) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall constitute the sole
remedy available to Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer (or the
Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer) with
respect to a breach of a representation and/or warranty with respect to a PWRES
Mortgage Loan under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the repurchase of an ARM Mortgage Loan shall be required in the event
of a breach of a representation under the related Servicing Agreement regarding
compliance with the provisions of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, as
amended, and Regulation Z promulgated thereunder, only in the event that the
----
Mortgagor under such loan contests an interest rate adjustment made in
accordance with the provisions of such ARM Mortgage Loan.
Section 2.5 Execution of Certificates. The Trustee has caused to be
-------------------------
executed, countersigned and delivered to or upon the order of the Company, in
exchange for the Mortgage Assets received by the Trustee pursuant to Section
2.2(a) and (b), the Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the
entire ownership of the Trust Fund.
ARTICLE III.
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 3.1 The Certificates.
----------------
(a) The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms of the
Certificates set forth in Exhibits X-0, X-0 and A-3 hereto, as applicable, and
-------------------------
shall, on original issue, be executed by the
-33-
Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Trustee, and countersigned
and delivered by the Trustee to or upon the order of the Company as provided in
Article II.
(b) The Certificates shall be issued in an aggregate Initial Class
Certificate Principal Balance as set forth in the definition of the term
"Certificate" in Article I.
(c) The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only and
shall be issued in minimum denominations as set forth in the definition of the
term Certificates in Article I.
(d) The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile
signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer under its seal
imprinted thereon. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized
to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that
such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the
signature and delivery of such Certificates 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 such Certificate shall
have been manually countersigned by the Trustee, and such countersignature upon
any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates
issued on the Closing Date shall be dated the Closing Date; all Certificates
issued thereafter shall be dated the date of their countersignature.
(e) The Class X Certificates shall remain outstanding hereunder until
the Class X Notional Principal Balance has been reduced to zero, regardless of
whether the Class Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to
zero.
Section 3.2 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates;
------------------------------------------------------
Transfer Restrictions.
---------------------
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at an office or agency in the
city in which the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located or in the
City of New York, New York a Certificate Register in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the
registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as
herein provided. The Trustee shall initially serve as Certificate Registrar for
the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided.
Subject to Sections 3.2(b) and 3.2(c), upon surrender for registration
of transfer of any Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office, the Trustee shall
execute, countersign and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations of a like Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like Class and Percentage
Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office
or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange the Trustee
shall execute, countersign and deliver the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
accompanied by a written instrument
-34-
of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange
shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee and a certificate of
destruction shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Company.
(b) No legal or beneficial interest in all or any portion of the
Residual Certificates may be transferred directly or indirectly to (i) a
Disqualified Organization or an agent of a Disqualified Organization (including
a broker, nominee, or middleman), (ii) an entity that holds REMIC residual
securities as nominee to facilitate the clearance and settlement of such
securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of participating
organizations (a "Book-Entry Nominee"), or (iii) an individual, corporation,
partnership or other person unless such transferee (A) is not a Non-U.S. Person
or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with
the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and has furnished
the transferor and the Trustee with an effective Internal Revenue Service Form
4224 or (C) is a Non-U.S. Person that has delivered to both the transferor and
the Trustee an opinion of a nationally recognized tax counsel (which shall not
be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Company) to the effect that
the transfer of a Residual Certificate to it is in accordance with the
requirements of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder and that
such transfer of a Residual Certificate will not be disregarded for federal
income tax purposes (any such person who is not covered by clause (A), (B) or
(C) above being referred to herein as a "Non-permitted Foreign Holder"), and any
such purported transfer shall be void and have no effect.
The Trustee shall not execute, and shall not countersign and deliver, a
Residual Certificate in connection with any transfer thereof unless the
transferor shall have provided to the Trustee an affidavit, substantially in the
form attached as Exhibit F to this Agreement, signed by the transferee, to the
---------
effect that the transferee is not a Disqualified Organization, an agent
(including a broker, nominee, or middleman) for any entity as to which the
transferee has not received a substantially similar affidavit, a Book-Entry
Nominee or a Non-permitted Foreign Holder, which affidavit shall contain the
consent of the transferee to any amendments of this Agreement as may be required
to effectuate further the foregoing restrictions on transfer of the Residual
Certificates to Disqualified Organizations, Book-Entry Nominees or Non-permitted
Foreign Holders, and an agreement by the transferee that it will not transfer a
Residual Certificate without providing to the Trustee an affidavit substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit F to this Agreement and a letter substantially
---------
in the form attached as Exhibit G to this Agreement. Such affidavit shall also
---------
contain the statement of the transferee that (i) it does not have the intention
to impede the assessment or collection of any federal, state or local taxes
legally required to be paid with respect to the Residual Certificates being
transferred and (ii) it understands that it may incur tax liabilities in excess
of any cash flows generated by the Residual Certificates being transferred, that
it has historically paid its debts as they come due and that it intends to pay
taxes associated with holding the Residual Certificate as such taxes become due.
-35-
The affidavit described in the preceding paragraph, if not executed in
connection with the initial issuance of the Residual Certificates, shall be
accompanied by a written statement in the form attached as Exhibit G to this
---------
Agreement, signed by the transferor, to the effect that as of the time of the
transfer, the transferor has (i) no actual knowledge that the transferee is a
Disqualified Organization, Book-Entry Nominee or Non-permitted Foreign Holder,
(ii) no reason to believe that the transferee has the intention to impede the
assessment or collection of any federal, state or local taxes legally required
to be paid with respect to a Residual Certificate, and (iii) conducted a
reasonable investigation and found that the transferee has historically paid its
debts as they fell due and found no significant evidence to indicate that the
transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they fall due. The Residual
Certificates shall bear a legend referring to the foregoing restrictions
contained in this paragraph and the preceding two paragraphs.
Upon notice to the Trustee that any legal or beneficial interest in any
portion of the Residual Certificates has been transferred, directly or
indirectly, to a Disqualified Organization or agent thereof (including a broker,
nominee, or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, (i) such
transferee shall be deemed to hold such Residual Certificate in constructive
trust for the last transferor who was not a Disqualified Organization or agent
thereof, and such transferor shall be restored as the owner of such Residual
Certificate as completely as if such transfer had never occurred, provided that
the Trustee may, but is not required to, recover any distributions made to such
transferee with respect to such Residual Certificate and return such recovery to
the transferor, and (ii) the Trustee agrees to furnish to the Internal Revenue
Service and to any transferor of the Residual Certificate or such agent (within
60 days of the request therefor by the transferor or agent) such information
necessary to the application of section 860E(e) of the Code as may be required
by the Code, including but not limited to the present value of the total
anticipated excess inclusions with respect to the Residual Certificate (or
portion thereof) for periods after such transfer. At the election of the
Trustee, the cost to the Trustee of computing and furnishing such information
may be charged to the transferor or such agent referred to above; however, the
Trustee shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.
The restrictions on transfers of the Residual Certificates set forth in the
preceding four paragraphs shall cease to apply to transfers (and the applicable
portions of the legend on the Residual Certificates may be deleted) after
delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
elimination of such restrictions will not cause a REMIC Loss, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Company.
Subject to Section 7.1(e)(i) hereof, the Trustee may conclusively rely
upon any certificate, affidavit or opinion delivered pursuant to Section 3.2(b).
(c) Except as to any additional Certificate of any Class of Book-Entry
Certificates held in physical certificated form pursuant to Section 3.2(f), the
Book-Entry Certificates shall, subject to this Section 3.2(e), at all times
remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times:
(i) registration thereof may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another
Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect
to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such
Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of the Certificates
issued in book-entry form on the books of the Depository shall be governed by
applicable rules established by the Depository and the rights of Certificate
Owners with
-36-
respect to Book-Entry Certificates shall be governed by applicable law and
agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository; (iv) the
Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from
its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the Depository as
authorized representative of the Certificate Owners of the Certificates issued
in book-entry form for all purposes including the making of payments due on the
Book-Entry Certificates and exercising the rights of Holders under this
Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representatives
shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully
protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect
to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with
respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such
indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners; (vii)
Certificate Owners shall not be entitled to certificates for the Book-Entry
Certificates and (viii) the Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in
connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders
and give notice to the Depository of such record date.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be
made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant
or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository
Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it
represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with
the Depository's normal procedures.
(d) If (i) (x) the Company or the Depository advises the Trustee in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing, qualified or able to discharge
properly its responsibilities as Depository, and (y) the Trustee or the Company
is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Company at its option
advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system
through the Depository or (iii) Certificate Owners representing not less than
51% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Book-Entry
Certificates together advise the Trustee and the Depository through the
Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system
through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate
Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository,
of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully
registered Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners
requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of such Certificates by the
Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for
registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the
Company nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references
herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be
deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable
with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize
the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
(e) On or prior to the Closing Date, there shall be delivered to the
Depository one or more certificates for each Class of Book-Entry Certificates
registered in the name of the Depository's nominee, Cede & Co. The face amount
of such Certificates shall represent 100% of the Initial Class Certificate
Principal Balance of the related Class, except for such amount that does not
constitute an acceptable denomination to the Depository. An additional
Certificate of each Class of Book-
-37-
Entry Certificates may be issued evidencing such remainder and, if so issued,
will be held in physical certificated form by the Holder thereof. Each
Certificate issued in book-entry form shall bear the following legend:
"UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE
OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION ("DTC"), TO ISSUER
OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE, OR PAYMENT, AND ANY
CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER
NAME AS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT
IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN
AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF
FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE
REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN."
(f) No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be made to
any Person unless the Trustee has received (A) a certificate (substantially in
the form of Exhibit H-1 or H-2) to this Agreement from such transferee to the
------------------
effect that such transferee is not a Plan or a Person that is using the assets
of a Plan to acquire such ERISA Restricted Certificate or (B) an opinion of
counsel, which counsel shall be satisfactory to the Trustee, Administrator and
the Company to the effect that the purchase and holding of such ERISA Restricted
Certificate will not constitute or result in the assets of the Trust Fund being
deemed to be "plan assets" subject to the prohibited transactions provisions of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee,
Administrator or the Company to any obligation in addition to those undertaken
in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee will not require such
-------- -------
certificate or opinion if, as a result of a change of law or otherwise, counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee has rendered an opinion to the effect that the
purchase and holding of an ERISA Restricted Certificate by a Plan or a Person
that is purchasing or holding such ERISA Restricted Certificate with the assets
of a Plan will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code. The preparation and delivery of the certificate
and opinions referred to above shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the
Trustee, the Administrator or the Company. Each ERISA Restricted Certificate
shall bear the following legend:
"NEITHER THIS CERTIFICATE NOR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN MAY BE
TRANSFERRED UNLESS THE TRUSTEE HAS RECEIVED EITHER (A) A CERTIFICATE FROM
SUCH TRANSFEREE (I) TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH TRANSFEREE IS NOT AN EMPLOYEE

RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED ("ERISA"), OR SUBJECT TO
SECTION 4975 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE "CODE"),
OR A GOVERNMENTAL PLAN DEFINED IN SECTION 3(32) OF ERISA SUBJECT TO ANY
FEDERAL STATE OR LOCAL LAW WHICH IS, TO MATERIAL EXTENT, SIMILAR TO THE
FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF ERISA OR THE CODE ("SIMILAR LAW") (EACH, A "BENEFIT
PLAN") AND IS NOT AN ENTITY INCLUDING AN
-38-
INSURANCE COMPANY SEPARATE ACCOUNT OR AN INSURANCE COMPANY GENERAL ACCOUNT
IF THE ASSETS IN ANY SUCH ACCOUNTS CONSTITUTE "PLAN ASSETS" FOR PURPOSES OF
ERISA, WHOSE UNDERLING ASSETS INCLUDE BENEFIT PLAN ASSETS BY REASON OF A
BENEFIT PLAN'S INVESTMENT IN THE ENTITY (SUCH BENEFIT PLAN OR ENTITY, A
"BENEFIT PLAN INVESTOR") OR (II) IN SUCH OTHER FORM AND SUBSTANCE AS SHALL
BE SATISFACTORY TO THE TRUSTEE AND THE ISSUER, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
SATISFACTORY TO THE TRUSTEE AND THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT THE PURCHASE
OR HOLDING OF SUCH CERTIFICATE WILL NOT CONSTITUTE OR RESULT IN THE ASSETS
OF THE TRUST ESTATE BEING DEEMED TO BE "PLAN ASSETS" SUBJECT TO THE
FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY PROVISIONS OF ERISA OR PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS
PROVISIONS OF SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE OR SIMILAR LAW, WILL NOT CONSTITUTE
OR RESULT IN A PROHIBITED TRANSACTION WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 406 OR

(g) No transfer of a Restricted Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and
any applicable state securities laws, or is made in accordance with the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. As a condition
precedent to the transfer of a Restricted Certificate, the Trustee shall require
(i) a written opinion of counsel, which counsel shall be acceptable to the
Trustee, that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws (which opinion shall not
be at the expense of the Trustee) or (ii) the transferee to execute an
investment letter in the form substantially as set forth in Exhibit I to this
---------
Agreement or in such other form as may be acceptable to the Trustee, certifying
as to the facts surrounding such transfer. The holder of any Restricted
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer thereof shall, and hereby agrees to,
indemnify the Trustee and the Company against any liability that may result if
the transfer thereof is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such
federal and state laws. Such agreement to so indemnify the Trustee and the
Company shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Each Restricted
Certificate shall bear the following legend:
"THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND
MAY NOT BE RESOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS IT IS REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SUCH
ACT OR LAWS OR IS SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN TRANSACTIONS WHICH ARE EXEMPT FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE LAW AND IS
TRANSFERRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 3.2 OF THE POOLING
AND ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN."

upon any certificate, affidavit or opinion delivered pursuant to Section 3.2(f)
or (g).
Section 3.3 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a)
------------------------------------ ------------
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the
Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Company, the
Certificate Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice
to the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee that such Certificate has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, countersign and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor, Class and Percentage
Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section 3.3, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and
any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence
of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the
lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 3.4 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a
---------------------
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Insurer and any agent of the Company,
the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Insurer may treat the
person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.2
and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Insurer or any agent of the Company, the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Insurer shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary.

---------------------------------------------------------
If three or more Certificateholders (hereinafter referred to as "applicants")
apply in writing to the Trustee, and such application states that the applicants
desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights
under this Agreement or under the Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of
the communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee
shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford
such applicants access during normal business hours to the most recent list of
Certificateholders held by the Trustee. If such list is as of a date more than
90 days prior to the date of receipt of such applicants' request, the Trustee
shall promptly request from the Certificate Registrar a current list as provided
above, and shall afford such applicants access to such list promptly upon
receipt. Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate,
agrees with the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee that neither the
Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the
disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the
Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.
Section 3.6 Deemed Representation for Class A Certificates. Any Plan
----------------------------------------------
which acquires a beneficial ownership interest in the Class A Certificates shall
be deemed, by virtue of the acceptance or acquisition of such ownership
interest, to have represented to the Company and the
-40-
Trustee that such Plan is an "accredited investor" for purposes of Rule
501(a)(1) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
ARTICLE IV
ACCOUNTS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 4.1 The Certificate Account; Collections on the Asset
-------------------------------------------------
Certificates.
-------------
(a) The Trustee shall establish and maintain in its corporate trust
department a separate trust account in its own name and designated "Certificate
Account/CMC Securities Corporation II REMIC Pass-Through Certificates, Series
1996-C", which account shall be maintained at all times as an Eligible Account.
All amounts received in respect of the Mortgage Assets by the Trustee shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account immediately upon receipt, together with any
Permitted Instruments in which such amounts shall be invested during the term of
this Agreement (as the Company shall direct in writing from time to time), and
any income or other gain realized from any such investment. Except as provided
below, all fixed term investments in Permitted Instruments must mature before
the Distribution Date next following the date of investment in such instruments,
provided that Permitted Instruments issued by and constituting the direct and
-------- ----
unconditional fixed-term payment obligations of the Trustee (including, but not
limited to, pooled or common trust funds of the Trustee) may mature on the
Distribution Date next following the date of investment in the same. No
Permitted Instrument shall be sold before the maturity thereof if the sale
thereof would result in the realization of gain prior to maturity unless the
Company has obtained an Opinion of Counsel that such sale or disposition will
not cause the Trust Fund to be subject to the tax on prohibited transactions
under section 860F of the Code, or otherwise subject the Trust Fund to tax or
cause the Series 1996-C REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC. If at any time the
Company shall have failed to direct the investment of such monies, the Trustee
shall invest such monies in Permitted Instruments. The Certificate Account
shall be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer as part of the Trust Fund. Amounts in the Certificate
Account on any Distribution Date in respect of the Mortgage Assets shall be
disbursed as provided in Section 4.2. Subject to Section 7.1, the Trustee shall
not be held liable by reason of its inability to make any required disbursements
from the Certificate Account because of any insufficiency in the Certificate
Account, including, but not limited to, any insufficiency resulting from any
loss of investment in Permitted Instruments, except for losses attributable to
the Trustee's failure to make payments on Permitted Instruments of the Trustee,
as principal obligor, in accordance with their terms and any losses attributable
to the failure by the Trustee to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The
Company shall deposit into the Certificate Account an amount equal to any loss
realized on any Permitted Instrument as soon as such loss is realized.
(b) Monies in respect of the Asset Certificates shall be remitted by
wire transfer or other method agreed to between the Trustee and each Asset
Certificate Trustee by such Asset Certificate Trustee to the Trustee on or
before each Remittance Date. The Trustee shall be required to reconcile, on a
monthly basis, the monies actually received in respect of the Asset Certificates
from the related Asset Certificate Trustee on each Remittance Date with the

Section 4.3 Calculation of One-Month LIBOR.
------------------------------
(a) On each Interest Determination Date, One-Month LIBOR for the related
Due Period will be calculated by the Trustee. If such rate does not appear on
Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m.
-46-
(London time) on such Interest Determination Date, One-Month LIBOR for such date
will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars
are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on
such date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period equal to
the relevant Interest Accrual Period (commencing on the first day of such
Interest Accrual Period). In connection with the foregoing, the Trustee will
request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a
quotation of its rate and:
(i) if on such Interest Determination Date two or more Reference
Banks provide such offered quotations, One-Month LIBOR for the related
Interest Accrual Period shall be the arithmetic mean of such offered
quotations (rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of
0.0625%); or
(ii) if on such Interest Determination Date fewer than two
Reference Banks provide such offered quotations, One-Month LIBOR for the
related Interest Accrual Period shall be equal to the Reserve Interest Rate
with respect to such Interest Determination Date.
(b) The establishment of One-Month LIBOR on each Interest Determination
Date by the Trustee and the Trustee's calculation of the Certificate Interest
Rate for the second following Distribution Date shall (in the absence of
manifest error) be final and binding.
Section 4.4 Method of Distribution.
----------------------
(a) All distributions with respect to each Class of Certificates on each
Distribution Date shall be made pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of
such Class, based on the Percentage Interest in such Class represented by each
Certificate. Payments to the Certificateholders on each Distribution Date will
be made to the Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date (other
than as provided in Section 10.1 respecting the final distribution), and shall
be made by check or money order mailed to the address of such Certificateholder
appearing in the Certificate Register, or upon written request by the
Certificateholder to the Trustee made not later than the applicable Record Date,
by wire transfer to a U.S. depository institution acceptable to the Trustee, or
by such other means of payment as such Certificateholder and the Trustee shall
agree.
(b) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be
paid to the Depository, which shall credit the amount of such distribution to
the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal
procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such
distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect
participating brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating
firm") for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for
disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. All such credits
and disbursements with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate are to be made by the
Depository and the Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions of
the applicable Certificates. Neither the Trustee nor the Company shall have any
responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by applicable law.
(c) The Trustee shall withhold or cause to be withheld such amounts as
may be required by the Code (giving full effect to any exemptions from
withholding and related certifications required to be furnished by
Certificateholders and any reductions to withholding by virtue of any bilateral
tax
-47-
treaties and any applicable certification required to be furnished by
Certificateholders with respect thereto) from distributions to be made to Non-
U.S. Persons. If the Trustee reasonably determines that a more accurate
determination of the amount required to be withheld from a distribution can be
made within a reasonable period after the scheduled date for distribution, it
may hold such distribution in trust for a Holder of the Residual Certificate
until such determination can be made.

pursuant to the instructions of the Certificate Insurer, by the end of such
Business Day.
(c) The Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of any Insured
Payment Amounts paid in respect of any Class A Certificate from moneys received
under the Certificate Insurance Policy. The Certificate Insurer shall have the
right to inspect such records at reasonable times during normal business hours
upon one Business Day's prior notice to the Trustee.
(d) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Certificate Insurer and Fiscal
Agent of any proceeding or the institution of any action, of which a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, seeking the avoidance as a
preferential transfer under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or
similar law (a "Preference Claim") of any distribution made with respect to the
Certificates. Each Certificateholder, by its purchase of the Certificates, and
the Trustee hereby agree that the Certificate Insurer (so long as no Certificate
Insurer Default exists) may at any time during the continuation of any
proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such
Preference Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal
of any order relating to such Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any
surety, supersedeas or performance bond
-53-
pending any such appeal. In addition and without limitation of the foregoing,
the Certificate Insurer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Trustee and
each Certificateholder in the conduct of any such Preference Claim, including,
without limitation, all rights of any party to an adversary proceeding action
with respect to any court order issued in connection with any such Preference
Claim. The Trustee shall apply any funds received by it from the Certificate
Insurer in connection with a Preference Claim in accordance with the terms of
the Certificate Insurance Policy.

will not result in the withdrawal or reduction of the then-current rating of the
Certificates by the Rating Agencies (determined without regard to the
Certificate Insurance Policy) and the Certificate Insurer consents thereto, the
Company shall not be so obligated to prevent the occurrence of any such event.
ARTICLE VI.
THE ADMINISTRATOR
Section 6.1 General. The Administrator shall have general
-------
responsibility for monitoring the servicing of the PWRES Mortgage Loans and
performance of other duties in accordance with the express provisions of this
Agreement. The Administrator shall have full power and authority to do and
perform any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable to carry out
its duties and responsibilities hereunder, unless contrary to the express
provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Administrator shall be, and is hereby, irrevocably authorized and empowered
to execute and deliver, with respect to the PWRES Mortgage Loans, the properties
encumbered by the Mortgages, and any acts to be performed by the Administrator
under this Agreement, any and all instruments, documents and writings necessary
or desirable to
-57-
fulfill its duties and responsibilities hereunder as the Administrator. In
addition, in the event the index with respect to an ARM Mortgage Loan is not
published or is otherwise unavailable, the Administrator shall select an
alternative index based on comparable information. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that, subject to Section 7.1, the Trustee shall have no
liability or responsibility to the Mortgagor, the Certificateholders, the
Certificate Insurer or any other Person for calculation of interest charged on
any ARM Mortgage Loan or for calculation of amounts escrowed or to be escrowed
or of notifications thereof or of servicing transfers. The Administrator will
furnish to the Trustee semi-annually, on or before 120 days after each June 30th
and December 31st, commencing December 31, 1996, an Officer's Certificate
stating that (i) a review of the fulfillment by the Administrator during such
six-month period of its obligations under this Agreement has been made by an
appropriate officer or officers of the Administrator; and (ii) to the best of
such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Administrator has fulfilled
all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such six-month period 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. Subject to Section 7.1(e) hereof, the Trustee may rely upon such
Officer's Certificate with regard to the Administrator's compliance with the
terms of this Agreement.
Section 6.2 Accounting For Mortgage Loan Payments. On or before three
-------------------------------------
(3) Business Days before the Remittance Date, the Administrator shall provide to
the Trustee and the Company a Loan Summary and Remittance Report which shall be
based upon the Servicers' Remittance Reconciliations which were received by the
Administrator on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day of such month. The
Administrator shall indicate in such Loan Summary and Remittance Report the
total servicing fees retained by the applicable Servicers, the administrative
fee to be paid pursuant to Section 6.4, and the nature of the collections
remitted by the Servicers and deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to
this Agreement on or before the Remittance Date of the current month and the
other information required to be reported in Section 4.5 with respect to the
Certificates.
Section 6.3 Monitoring of Servicers' Performance. The Administrator
------------------------------------
shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee and the Company the compliance
by each Servicer with its duties under the related Servicing Agreement. In the
review of each Servicer's activities, the Administrator may rely upon an
Officer's Certificate of the Servicer with regard to such Servicer's compliance
with the terms of such Servicing Agreement. The Administrator will furnish to
the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the Company on or before each
Remittance Date during the term of this Agreement an Evaluation Report of
Servicers and will notify any Servicer whenever, according to the Evaluation
Report of Servicers, the performance of such Servicer, in the Administrator's
opinion, consistently fails to comply with such Servicing Agreement or to meet
the minimum responsibilities for dealing with delinquencies as set forth
therein, except that the Administrator shall not notify the Servicer, if, in the
Administrator's opinion, the procedures being employed by such Servicer are
adequate and efficient in dealing promptly with delinquencies. In the event that
the Administrator, in its judgment, determines, or the Certificate Insurer
directs the Administrator, that a Servicer should be terminated in accordance
with the related Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant
to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that,
unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Administrator
shall notify the Company and the Trustee thereof and, absent instructions to the
contrary from the Company or the Trustee within five days of the delivery of
such notice, the
-58-
Administrator shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems
appropriate. No termination of a Servicer shall be effective without the written
consent of the Certificate Insurer. Upon request, the Administrator shall make
available to the Company, the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee all reports
submitted by the Servicers to the Administrator, concerning delivery of the
Mortgage Files and the Servicers' foreclosure recommendations. Without
limitation to any other rights or remedies available to the Company or the
Trustee, either the Company or the Trustee may require the foreclosure of any
PWRES Mortgage Loan with respect to which any monthly installment of principal
and interest is more than 90 days past due.
Section 6.4 Fees of Administrator. As compensation for its activities
---------------------
and obligations hereunder, on each Distribution Date, the Administrator shall be
entitled (in addition to its fee payable pursuant to Sections 4.02(c) and 6.04
(or Sections 4.2(c) and 6.4, as applicable) of the applicable Asset Issuance
Agreements) to its fee hereunder in an amount equal to the Administrator's Fee,
payable by Trustee pursuant to Section 4.2(c). To the extent that there are
insufficient funds to pay such fee from the Certificate Account in accordance
with Section 4.2(c) hereof, then the Administrator shall receive payment from
the Company directly.
Section 6.5 Administrator's Insurance Policies. The Administrator
----------------------------------
hereby agrees to obtain and maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity
bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy in full force and effect
throughout the term of this Agreement covering the Administrator's officers and
employees and other persons acting on behalf of the Administrator in its
capacity as the Administrator under this Agreement. With respect to the
Administrator, such coverage shall be in an amount, and issued by issuers, that
would be acceptable to FNMA, if the Administrator were servicing the PWRES
Mortgage Loans for FNMA. In the event that any such bond or policy shall cease
to be in effect, the Administrator shall exercise its best reasonable efforts to
obtain, from an issuer or insurer licensed in the State and acceptable to the
Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the Company, a comparable replacement bond
or policy, as the case may be. Any amounts collected by the Administrator under
any such bond or policy relating to the PWRES Mortgage Loans shall be remitted
to the Certificate Account and applied pursuant to this Agreement. No provision
of this Section 6.5 shall operate to diminish, restrict or otherwise limit the
Administrator's responsibilities and obligations as set forth in this Agreement.
In addition to the foregoing obligations, the Administrator shall diligently
enforce for the benefit of the Certificate Owners and the Certificate Insurer
the rights and remedies of the "Owner" under each of the Servicing Agreements,
including such rights and remedies as are available in the event of a Servicer
default, and shall take such specific action thereunder as may be requested by
the Certificate Insurer. The Trustee hereby grants to the Administrator the
authority to enforce such rights and remedies as if the Administrator were the
"Owner" under each Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that without the
consent of the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer, the Administrator shall not
be authorized to consent to any action on behalf of the "Owner" under any
Servicing Agreement to the extent such Servicing Agreement requires the consent
or agreement of "Owner" to such action.
Section 6.6 Liability of Administrator for Expenses. The Administrator
---------------------------------------
shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its
administration activities hereunder (including the cost of the insurance
policies and bonds required by Section 6.5) and shall not be entitled to
reimbursement therefor, except as specifically provided herein. If the
Administrator fails to respond to preliminary requests made by the Trustee for
information, the Administrator agrees
-59-
to pay (i) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer or the Company in investigating the Administrator's
activities hereunder when, in the opinion of the Trustee, the Certificate
Insurer or the Company, such investigation is warranted on the basis of adverse
information about the Administrator and (ii) all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer or the Company in replacing the
Administrator in the event of a default by the Administrator in the performance
of its duties under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Section 6.7 Annual Independent Certified Public Accountants' Reports for
------------------------------------------------------------
Administrator.
----------------
(a) On or before 120 days after the end of the Administrator's fiscal
year, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996 and on or before
120 days after the end of each fiscal year thereafter, the Administrator, at its
expense, will furnish to the Certificateholders, the Company, the Trustee, and,
for so long as the Certificate Insurance Policy remains in effect, the
Certificate Insurer: (i) an opinion by a firm of independent certified public
accountants on the financial position of the Administrator at the end of its
fiscal year and the results of operations and changes in financial position of
the Administrator for such year then ended on the basis of an examination
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and (ii) if
the Administrator is then servicing any PWRES Mortgage Loans, a statement from
such independent certified public accountants to the effect that based on an
examination of certain specified documents and records relating to the servicing
of the Administrator's mortgage loan portfolio conducted substantially in
compliance with the audit program for mortgages serviced for FNMA or FHLMC, the
United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Mortgage Audit
Standards, or the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (the
"Applicable Accounting Standards"), such firm is of the opinion that such
servicing has been conducted in compliance with the Applicable Accounting
Standards except for (a) such exceptions as such firm shall believe to be
immaterial and (b) such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such
statement.
(b) The Administrator will agree to perform, or have performed, such other
procedures as the Company may reasonably request and as the Administrator and
the Company may mutually agree in writing.
Section 6.8 Standby Servicing Obligation. The Administrator may accept
----------------------------
the assignment of any Servicer's servicing rights and obligations under its
Servicing Agreement and shall immediately assume the servicing rights and
obligations of any Servicer whose servicing obligations are terminated pursuant
to the Servicing Agreement, in which event the duties and obligations to service
the PWRES Mortgage Loans previously serviced by such Servicer shall thereafter
be applicable to and carried out by the Administrator as provided under the
Servicing Agreement, under the same terms and conditions applicable to any other
Servicer. The Administrator shall be entitled to the same servicing fee that
otherwise would have been retained by a Servicer pursuant to the Servicing
Agreement with respect to the servicing obligations of such Servicer assumed by
the Administrator and shall be enti tled to the same reimbursement of Monthly
Advances or Expense Advances as such Servicer would have been entitled to
pursuant to Section 4.7.
Section 6.9 Administrator's Obligation to Make Monthly Advances and
-------------------------------------------------------
Expense Advances.
----------------
-60-
(a) In the event that the Trustee determines that any Servicer has not
made any scheduled Monthly Advance, the Administrator shall, on or before 11:00
a.m. (Dallas, Texas time) two (2) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date
of the month in which such Monthly Advance was scheduled to be made, make an
advance equal to such unpaid Monthly Advance. In the event that any Servicer
does not make an Expense Advance when due pursuant to the related Servicing
Agreement, the Administrator shall, within forty-eight hours of receipt of
notice (either in writing or verbally but if verbally, as confirmed in writing)
from the Trustee, pursuant to Section 4.1(c) hereof, of its failure to receive
an Expense Advance from a Servicer, make an advance equal to such unpaid Expense
Advance; provided, however, that in no event shall the Administrator be required
to make Nonrecoverable Advances with respect to any Monthly Advance or Expense
Advance. Advances by the Administrator pursuant to this Section 6.9 may be made
either by (i) depositing in the Certificate Account the amount equal to such
advance, or (ii) causing to be made appropriate entries in the records of the
Certificate Account (which records are those maintained by the Administrator and
not the account records of the Trustee) that funds in such account being held
for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section
6.9, used by the Administrator in discharge of any such advance, or (iii) make
advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii), aggregating the amount
of such advance. Any funds being held for future distribution to
Certificateholders and so used shall be replaced by the Administrator by deposit
in the respective account for such Series on any future date to the extent that
funds in such account on such date shall be less than payments to persons other
than the Company required to be made on such date.
(b) The Administrator shall be reimbursed for all advances made pursuant
to this Section 6.9 as provided in Sections 4.2(c) and 4.4(b). Should the
Administrator be required to make any advances hereunder on behalf of a
Servicer, the Administrator may immediately terminate, and upon the direction of
the Certificate Insurer, shall immediately terminate such Servicer's rights
under the related Servicing Agreement and shall assume such Servicer's servicing
rights and obligations as standby servicer pursuant to Section 6.8.
Section 6.10 Resignation of Administrator. The Administrator may not
----------------------------
resign from its obligations as Administrator hereunder or as a Servicer,
including any servicing rights and obligations assumed by Administrator from
another Servicer pursuant to Section 6.8, unless a successor shall have accepted
an appointment from the Trustee and unless satisfactory evidence shall have been
furnished from the Rating Agencies to the Trustee, the Company and the
Certificate Insurer that such resignation and succession shall not adversely
affect the then current rating of the Certificates (determined without regard to
the Certificate Insurance Policy). For so long as the Certificate Insurance
Policy remains in effect, no such resignation or succession shall be effective
without the consent of the Certificate Insurer..
Section 6.11 Amendment of Servicing Agreements. The Company, in
---------------------------------
conjunction with the Administrator, may from time to time make such
modifications and amendments to the Servicing Agreements (including any guides
incorporated by reference therein) and approve assignments of the Servicing
Agreements to any Person, in each case as the Administrator deems necessary or
appropriate to confirm or carry out more fully the intent and purpose of the
Servicing Agreements and the duties, responsibilities and obligations of the
Servicers thereunder; provided, however, that no such amendment or modification
has a materially adverse impact on the Certificateholders or the
-61-
Certificate Insurer. The consent of the Trustee shall not be required for any
action taken or proposed to be taken by the Company or the Administrator
pursuant to this Section 6.11.
ARTICLE VIA
REMIC Administration Provisions
Section 6A.1. Realization Upon Defaulted PWRES Mortgage Loans. In
-----------------------------------------------
connection with the realization upon any defaulted PWRES Mortgage Loan, the
Administrator shall ensure that the related Servicer shall not acquire for the
benefit of the Trust Fund any personal property pursuant to the related
Servicing Agreement unless either:
(a) such personal property is incident to real property (within the
meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by such Servicer for
the benefit of the Trust Fund; or
(b) the Administrator shall have requested and received an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that the
holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund will not cause the
imposition of a tax on the Trust Fund under the REMIC Provisions or cause
the Trust Fund, or any portion thereof, to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
Section 6A.2. Title and Management of REO Property.
------------------------------------
(a) The Administrator shall ensure that the applicable Servicer, on behalf
of the Trust Fund, shall dispose of any REO Property within two years after the
Trustee acquires ownership of such REO Property, unless (i) the Administrator on
behalf of the Trust Fund, and as an expense of the Trust Fund, has applied for
an extension of such two-year period, at least 61 days before the expiration of
such two-year period, pursuant to Code Sections 856(e)(3) and 860G(a)(8)(A), in
which case the Administrator shall ensure that such Servicer sells such REO
Property within the applicable extension period or (ii) the Administrator seeks
and subsequently receives, at the expense of the Trust Fund, an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the REMIC Trustee, the Trustee and the Administrator, to
the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to
two years after its acquisition will not result in the imposition of taxes on
"prohibited transactions" of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F of the
Code or cause the Trust Fund, or any portion thereof, to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Adminis trator
shall ensure that the applicable Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and
operate such REO Property for the related Certificateholders solely for the
purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such
REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the exception
applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) or result in the receipt
by the Trust Fund of any "income from nonpermitted assets" within the meaning of
Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any "net income from foreclosure property"
which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.
-62-
(b) The Administrator shall ensure that each Servicer does not:
(i) permit the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New
Lease, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does
not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New
Lease, other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property, other
than the repair or maintenance thereof or the completion of a building or
other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the
construction of such building or other improvement was completed before
default on the related PWRES Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the
meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) or the Code; or
(iv) allow any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any
date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund,
unless such Person is an Independent Contractor;
unless, in any such case, the Administrator has requested and received an
Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the Trust Fund to the effect that such
action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure
property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined
without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D of the
Code) at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the
Administrator may allow the applicable Servicer to take such actions as are
specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
Section 6A.3. Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.
-----------------------------------------------
(a) The Administrator shall ensure that no Servicer agrees to any
modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any PWRES Mortgage Loan unless
the Administrator has first obtained an Opinion of Counsel, which shall be
obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund and may be applicable to more than one
transaction or generally to a class or classes of transactions described
therein, to the effect that the proposed modification, waiver or amendment will
not cause a REMIC Loss, provided however that no such Opinion of Counsel shall
be required for a modification, waiver or amendment made pursuant to subsection
(b) below except as required under clause (ii) thereof. Should a modification to
any PWRES Mortgage Loan occur without the Administrator's knowledge which may
result in a disqualification of the Trust Fund or any portion thereof as a
REMIC, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrator for
any loss or liability.
(b) If a Servicer determines with respect to any PWRES Mortgage Loan
serviced by it that a material default has occurred or a payment default is
reasonably foreseeable or has occurred with respect thereto and that
modification, waiver or amendment of the terms of such PWRES Mortgage Loan is
reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than
liquidation of such PWRES Mortgage Loan, the Administrator may permit such
Servicer, subject to the servicing standard set forth in the related Servicing
Agreement, to agree to a modification,
-63-
waiver or amendment of such PWRES Mortgage Loan, without the consent of the
Trustee or any Certificateholders, in accordance with the following:
(i) subject to the provisions in the following clause (ii) and the
paragraph following clause (ii) below, the Servicer may from time to time
reduce the monthly payments on any such PWRES Mortgage Loan (including
allowing a monthly payment to be less than that required to pay interest at
the related mortgage interest rate and adding the difference to the unpaid
principal balance of such PWRES Mortgage Loan) for a period of up to six
months but any such change shall not reduce any required Monthly Advance at
the original Mortgage Rate;
(ii) the Servicer may permit the Mortgagor to substitute collateral
for all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property, pledge additional
collateral for the PWRES Mortgage Loan or release part of the Mortgaged
Property, provided, however, that the Administrator shall have requested
and received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the
Administrator (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect
that such substitution or addition is permitted hereby and such
substitution, additional pledge or release of collateral will not cause the
imposition of a tax on the Trust Fund, or any portion thereof, under the
REMIC Provisions or cause the Trust Fund, or any portion thereof, to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall not permit the Servicer
to agree to any modification which changes the interest rate or term of such
PWRES Mortgage Loan or changes the outstanding principal balance of such PWRES
Mortgage Loan (except with respect to actual payments of principal received with
respect thereto or changes set forth in clause (i) above).
Section 6A.4. Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged
-----------------------------------------------------
Property. The Trustee shall make the reports of foreclosures and abandonments
--------
of any Mortgaged Property as required by Section 6050J of the Code. In order to
facilitate this reporting process, the Admin istrator, on or before January 20th
of each year, shall provide to the Trustee reports relating to each instance
occurring during the previous calendar year in which the Administrator or a
Servicer (i) on behalf of the Trustee acquires an interest in a Mortgaged
Property through foreclosure or other comparable conversion in full or partial
satisfaction of a PWRES Mortgage Loan, or (ii) knows or has reason to know that
a Mortgaged Property has been abandoned. Reports from the Administrator shall be
in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by
Section 6050J of the Code. The Trustee and the Administrator shall not be
required to prepare any reports under this section if the Administrator obtains
and provides to the Trustee certifications from each Servicer that such
Servicers have prepared and filed with the applicable authorities the required
reports.

and Section 2.2, the Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect,

represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their
face.
(c) The Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as
are specifically set forth in this Agreement.
(d) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement but shall be under no duty or
obligation to determine that they are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for
the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on
their face; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be under no duty to
recalculate, verify or recompute any information provided to it and previously
calculated or computed by the Company, any REMIC Administrator, any
Administrator or any Asset Certificate Trustee.
(e) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
-------- -------
(i) 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

holding Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 25%, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust
or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement; provided,
however, that if the Trustee shall receive conflicting directions from two
or more groups of Certificateholders of a Class holding Certificates that
evidence Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% at the time,
then the Trustee shall act pursuant to this Section 7.1(e)(iii) only at the
direction of Certificateholders of such Class holding Certificates that
evidence Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 50%; and provided,
however, that if the Trustee shall receive conflicting directions from
Certificateholders having the requisite Percentage Interests of two or more
Classes, then the Trustee shall act pursuant to this Section 7.1(e)(iii)
only at the direction of Certificateholders affected thereby holding
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 50% at the time, with such
Percentage Interest recomputed as though all affected Classes constituted
one Class; and, further, that no action by the Trustee hereunder shall be
effective without the consent of the Certificate Insurer.
(f) The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility to any
Person for the acts or omissions to act by the Company. No provision of
this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall

adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured
to it.

refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate,

paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Certificate
Insurer or holders of Certificates of each Class affected thereby
evidencing, as to each such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not
less than 25%; 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 assured to the Trustee to its reasonable satisfaction by
the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may
require from the Certificate Insurer or the Certificateholders of each
Class affected thereby indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such
expense or liability as a condition to the making of such investigation;
and
(f) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or

-----------------------------------------------------
statements contained in this Agreement and in the Certificates (other than the
signature and countersignature of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be
taken as the statements of the Company and the Trustee assumes no responsibility

---------------------------
services hereunder, on each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be entitled (in
addition to its fee payable pursuant to Sections 4.02(d) and 7.05 (or Sections
4.2(d) and 7.5, as applicable) of the applicable Asset Issuance Agreements) to
its fee hereunder, which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard
to compensation of a trustee of an express trust, in an amount equal to the
Trustee's Fee, payable pursuant to Section 4.2(d) of this Agreement. The Trustee
shall also receive reimbursement for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
hereunder in the manner, and from the sources, provided by each Asset Issuance
Agreement. The Company hereby indemnifies and holds the Trustee harmless against
any loss, claim, liability or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
incurred, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the
Certificates, including but not limited to any such loss, claim, liability or
expense incurred in connection with any legal action against the Trust Fund or
the Trustee or any director, officer, employee or agent thereof, or the
performance of any of the Trustee's duties under this agreement, including,
without limitation, any action taken by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.14
hereof (other than any loss, claim, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misconduct or negligence on the part of the Trustee). Any payment to the
Trustee pursuant to the foregoing indemnity shall be from the Company's own
funds, without reimbursement therefor. The obligation to reimburse unpaid fees
and expenses and the indemnity by the Company contemplated by this Section 7.5
shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Section 7.6 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
------------------------------------
(a) The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a commercial bank or trust
company organized and doing business under the laws of a state or of 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. If such
corporation 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 7.6, 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.
(b) The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be the same entity serving as
Asset Certificate Trustee under the 1992GA Asset Issuance Agreement and the
1994UA Asset Issuance Agreement. The Trustee agrees that if it resigns or is
removed as Asset Certificate Trustee under either the 1992GA Asset Issuance
Agreement or the 1994UA Asset Issuance Agreement, it shall concurrently resign
as Trustee hereunder, with the consent of the Certificate Insurer.
(c) In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.6, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.7.
Section 7.7 Resignation or Removal of the Trustee.
-------------------------------------
-68-
(a) The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Company, provided,
--------
however, that if the Trustee resigns hereunder it agrees that it shall
-------
concurrently resign as Asset Certificate Trustee under the Asset Issuance
Agreement. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Majority
Certificateholders may, upon the recommendation of the Administrator and with
the written consent of the Certificate Insurer during the term of the
Certificate Insurance Policy, the Certificate Insurer may, appoint a successor
trustee by written instrument copies of which shall be delivered to the
resigning Trustee and the successor trustee. 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. The Trustee
shall remain as Trustee hereunder until a successor trustee is appointed in
accordance herewith.
(b) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 7.6, or if at any time the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or the subject
of an order for relief entered in a bankruptcy proceeding, 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 Majority
Certificateholders may, with the prior written consent of the Certificate
Insurer during the term of the Certificate Insurance Policy, and the Certificate
Insurer may, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee acceptable to
the Certificate Insurer by written instrument, copies of which shall be
delivered to the Trustee so removed and the successor trustee; provided,
--------
however, that in such event the Administrator shall also take appropriate action
-------
to cause the removal of the Asset Certificate Trustee (if the same entity as the
Trustee to be removed) under the Asset Issuance Agreements.
(c) The Majority Certificateholders (with the written consent of the
Certificate Insurer so long as no Certificate Insurer Monetary Default exists
and is continuing) may at any time remove the Trustee for cause or, so long as
the compensation to be charged by the proposed successor trustee does not exceed
an amount equal to 100% of the compensation contemplated hereunder in respect of
the Trustee being removed, remove the Trustee without cause and either (i)
appoint a successor trustee acceptable to the Certificate Insurer by written
instrument or instruments, copies of which shall be delivered to the
Administrator, the Trustee so removed and to the successor trustee so appointed
or (ii) petition a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that in
-------- -------
each such event the Administrator shall also take action to cause the removal of
the Asset Certificate Trustee (if the same entity as the Trustee to be removed)
under the Asset Issuance Agreements.
(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in
Section 7.8.
Section 7.8 Successor Trustee.
-----------------
(a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.7 shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company, the Administrator and to its
predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become
effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed
-69-
or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor
trustee all Mortgage Assets and related documents and statements held by it
hereunder, and the Company, the Administrator and the predecessor trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in the successor
trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. The successor trustee
shall execute and deliver to the predecessor trustee receipts and releases for
the Mortgage Assets and related documents and the Company and the Administrator
shall execute and deliver such releases to the predecessor trustee, subject to
Section 7.1, as the predecessor trustee may reasonably require. Any Trustee
ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain its rights hereunder with respect to
any amounts due it hereunder.
(b) 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 7.6.
(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section, the Administrator shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Certificateholders at their addresses as shown in the
Certificate Register. If the Administrator 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
Administrator.
Section 7.9 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any corporation into
----------------------------------
which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
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 7.6, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 7.10 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
-----------------------------------------------
(a) Upon the payment in full of any PWRES Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by
the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such pur poses, the Servicer may notify the Administrator by a
certification (which certification shall include statements to the effect that
(i) all amounts constituting Net Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds
received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to
be cred ited to the Advance Account pursuant to Section 4.4, have been or will
be so credited and (ii) all other amounts have been credited to the Certificate
Account) of an officer of Servicer and request delivery to it of the related
Mortgage File. Additionally, in the event of any repurchase of a PWRES Mortgage
Loan pursuant to Section 2.4 or in the event of the exercise of a conversion
option resulting in the repurchase of a PWRES Mortgage Loan, and upon direction
by a Servicer or the Company, as applicable, to the Administrator regarding
delivery of the related Mortgage File, the Administrator will deliver written
notice of such repurchase of such PWRES Mortgage Loan and instructions for
delivery of the related Mortgage File to the Trustee.
-70-
(b) Upon receipt of (1) a copy of such certification and request, in the
case of a payment in full of a PWRES Mortgage Loan and (2) upon written notice
from the Administrator, in the case of either a payment in full or a repurchase
of a PWRES Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall promptly release the related
Mortgage File to the Servicer or entity to whom the Mortgage File is to be
delivered pursuant to the direction received in Section 7.10(a) above. Upon any
such payment in full, or the receipt of such notification, the Servicer is
authorized to prepare a release of lien or deed of reconveyance, without
recourse, representation or warranty, covering the property encumbered by such
deed of trust, to be executed by the Trustee, which release of lien shall after
recording thereof be delivered by the Servicer to the person or persons entitled
thereto, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection
with such release of lien or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the
Certificate Account. If any Mortgage File is released in reliance upon such a
certification and the related PWRES Mortgage Loan is subsequently discovered to
have in fact not been paid in full, the Trustee shall promptly notify the
Administrator and the Administrator shall demand that the applicable Servicer
return the Mortgage File to the Trustee.
(c) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure
of any PWRES Mortgage Loan the Trustee shall, upon the written request of the
Administrator and delivery to the Trustee of a trust receipt, substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, signed by an officer of the Servicer,
---------
release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Trustee shall execute
such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings.
Such trust receipt shall obligate the Servicer to return the Mortgage File to
the Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists unless the
PWRES Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case upon receipt of a notice
from the Administrator, accompanied by an Officer's Certificate similar to that
hereinabove specified, the trust receipt shall be released by the Trustee to the
Servicer.
Section 7.11 Trustee Not Acting in Individual Capacity. Except as
-----------------------------------------
provided in this Article VII, in accepting the trusts hereby created, the
Trustee acts solely as Trustee hereunder and not in an individual capacity, and
all persons having a claim against the Trustee by reason of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement will look only to the Trust Fund for payment or
satisfaction thereof.
Section 7.12 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
---------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of
meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the
Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
Administrator and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by
the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer to act as co-trustee or co-trustees,
jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or
any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the
other provisions of this Agreement, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and
trusts as the Administrator and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.
If the Administrator shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days
after the receipt by it of a request to do so, 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 7.8 and no notice to holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-
trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required. All fees and expenses, if
any,
-71-
incurred by the Trustee and arising out of the appointment of a co-trustee or
separate trustee pursuant to this Section 7.11 shall be considered reimbursable
fees and expenses of the Trustee for purposes of Section 7.5. All fees and
expenses, if any, incurred by the Administrator and arising out of the
appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 7.11
shall be considered reimbursable fees and expenses pursuant to Section 4.2.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant
to this Section 7.11 all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee
or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, 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-trustees only at
the direction of the Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed
to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as
effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article VII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trust 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-trustees may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
Section 7.13 Insurer Rights of Subrogation. etc. If any issuer of any
-----------------------------------
insurance policy requests subrogation or conveyance by a special warranty deed,
the Trustee shall promptly notify the Administrator. Upon receipt of instruments
prepared by the Administrator together with an Officer's Certificate and request
for execution from the Administrator, the Trustee shall promptly execute such
instruments and return same to the Administrator for further handling. In any
case in which a Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor
and the Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or other equivalent
agreement or agreements which require the signature of the Trustee, the
Administrator shall obtain from the Servicer such agreement or agreements and
such other appropriate documents and deliver them to the Trustee for signature
together with an Officer's Certificate explaining the nature of such documents
and the reason or reasons why the Trustee's signature is required. Upon receipt
of such documents and an Officer's Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and
return such documents to the Administrator for further handling. In any case in
which any Mortgagor requests a partial release of the Mortgaged Property from
the lien of the Mortgage or requests a subordination of the lien of the Mortgage
for easements
-72-
(whether conservation or otherwise), for environmental reasons or for any other
reason to be created subsequent to the date of origination of the Mortgage, the
Administrator shall first determine whether to recommend to the Trustee that
consent should be given on behalf of the Trust Fund to such request and, if so,
should obtain from the Servicer such releases or such subordination agreements
and deliver them to the Trustee for signature together with an Officer's
Certificate explaining the nature of such documents and the reason or reasons
why the Trustee's signature is required. The Officer's Certificate shall in
addition contain: (i) the written consent of the Administrator; (ii) information
indicating that the loan-to-value ratio of the Mortgage Loan following the
creation of such easement or other subordination will not exceed the loan-to-
value ratio at the time of origination; (iii) a certification that the creation
of such easement or other subordination will not materially and adversely affect
the marketability of title to the Mortgaged Property nor the effectiveness of
any of the insurance policies, or if such effectiveness would be impaired, the
Officer's Certificate shall be accompanied by the written consent of the
applicable issuer of such insurance policy, or if such marketability is
materially and adversely affected, the Officer's Certificate shall be
accompanied by the written consent of the Certificate Insurer. In addition, the
Administrator shall furnish an endorsement to the related title policy to the
effect that, under the laws of the state in which the related Mortgaged Property
is located, the Mortgage held will continue to represent a first lien on the
Mortgaged Property, notwithstanding the execution of the agreement subordinating
such Mortgage to the easement or other subordination. Upon receipt of such
documents and an Officer's Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and return
such documents to the Administrator for further handling. The Trustee shall have
no liability or responsibility to any Person for any act or omission to act
taken by the Trustee in compliance with and in reliance upon the procedures set
out in this Section. Any act or omission to act by the Trustee pursuant to this
Section shall not require the consent of any Certificateholder. The
Administrator will not be liable to any party for any release or subordination
agreement furnished pursuant to this Section 7.13, provided that the
Administrator has, in good faith, prepared and delivered the required Officer's
Certificate and delivered any required Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee.
Section 7.14 Direction to the Trustee. The Company hereby directs and
------------------------
authorizes the Trustee to execute, in its capacity as Trustee hereunder, the
Assignment and Assumption Agreements. The Trustee shall execute the Assignments
and Assumption Agreements pursuant to this Section 7.14 and by its execution
thereof the Trustee does not (neither in its capacity as Trustee nor in its
individual capacity) assume any obligations thereunder or make any
representations therein.
ARTICLE VIII.
AMENDMENT OF ASSET ISSUANCE AGREEMENTS; REGULATORY REPORTS
Section 8.1 Amendment of Asset Issuance Agreements; Regulatory Reports.
----------------------------------------------------------
With the consent of the Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholders
representing not less than 66% of the Voting Rights of all Certificates, the
Trustee may take any action which by the terms of the applicable Asset Issuance
Agreement requires the consent of the holders of the related Asset Certificates,
including but not limited to: (1) entering into any amendments to such Asset
Issuance Agreement; and (2) removing or consenting to the removal of, and
appointing or consenting to the
-73-
appointment of, the Person acting as Asset Certificate Trustee under such Asset
Issuance Agreement; provided, however, that no such action shall, without the
consent of the Holder of each Certificate affected thereby:
(a) reduce the amount, or delay the timing, of payments received on
the related trust fund which are required to be distributed on any Asset
Certificate, change the coin or currency in which any Asset Certificate or
any interest thereon is payable, impair the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of the payment of any installment of interest or principal due
on any Asset Certificate or adversely affect the tax consequences to any
holder of any Asset Certificate;
(b) change the requirement of the consent of the holders of the Asset
Certificates for any such action pursuant to such Asset Issuance Agreement;
(c) modify any of the provisions of this Section, except to increase
any percentage specified herein; or
(d) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to, or on a parity
with, the trusts created by such Asset Issuance Agreement with respect to
the related Asset Certificates or terminate the trusts created by such
Asset Issuance Agreement with respect to the related Asset Certificates on
any property at any time subject thereto or deprive the Holder of any
Certificate of the security afforded by the related Asset Certificates;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this

Section, the Trustee may, without the consent of any Holder of any Certificates
but with the consent of the Certificate Insurer, consent to the release from or
termination of the trusts created by such Asset Issuance Agreement with respect
to any Certificated Mortgage Loan when such action by the Trustee is
specifically authorized by any other provision of such Asset Issuance Agreement.
The Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any Certificates
would be affected by any proposed action and any such determination shall be
conclusive upon the Holders of all Certificates, whether theretofore or
thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Trustee shall not be
liable for any such determination made in good faith.
It shall not be necessary for any act of Certificateholders under this
Section to approve the particular form of any written instrument proposed to
effect such action, but it shall be sufficient if such act shall approve the
substance thereof.
Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any written
instrument proposed to effect such action pursuant to this Section, the Company
shall mail to the Holders of the Certificates a notice setting forth in general
terms the substance of such action. Any failure of the Company to mail such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect
the validity of any such action.

Nothing contained herein shall require the consent of any holder of an
Asset Certificate to any amendment or supplement to the applicable Asset
Issuance Agreement if the consent of such holder is not otherwise required by
the terms of such Asset Issuance Agreement.
Section 8.2 Preparation of Regulatory Reports.
---------------------------------
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below, the
Company shall prepare or cause to be prepared, on behalf of the Trust Fund, and
delivered in a timely manner to the Trustee for its review and execution, such
supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports (such information,
documents or reports are referred to hereinafter as the "Periodic Report") as
may be required pursuant to Section 12(g) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), by the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") thereunder or
as a condition to approval of any application for relief ("Application for
Relief") and, in connection therewith, shall prepare such applications and
requests for exemption and other relief from such provisions as it may deem
appropriate. The Company shall be deemed to certify as to each Periodic Report
delivered to the Trustee for its review and execution that it conforms in all
material respects to applicable reporting requirements imposed by the Exchange
Act or is otherwise in form and content appropriate for filing with the SEC. The
Trustee (i) shall execute all such Periodic Reports and Applications for Relief
delivered as provided above and shall return the same to the Administrator for
filing with the SEC and other required filing offices, if any, on behalf of the
Trust Fund or (ii) shall authorize the Company to execute any such Periodic
Report or Application for Relief on the Trustee's behalf. The Company shall be
deemed to be authorized by the Trustee to execute such Periodic Report or
Application for Relief on the Trustee's behalf unless otherwise notified in
writing by the Trustee.
(b) Within 30 days after the beginning of the first fiscal year of the
Trust Fund during which the obligation to file Periodic Reports pursuant to the
Exchange Act shall have been suspended, the Company shall prepare, or cause to
be prepared, a notice on SEC Form 15 ("Form 15") and shall forward such notice
to the Trustee for execution, whereupon the Trustee shall return the executed
Form 15 to the Company or shall authorize the Company to execute such Form 15 on
the Trustee's behalf; provided, however, that the Company shall be under no
obligation to prepare such notice if the number of Certificateholders exceeds
300. Upon receipt of a written request from the Company, the Trustee shall
notify the Company as to the number of Certificateholders shown on the
Certificate Register. The Company shall file any notice on Form 15 with the SEC
in accordance with the provisions of Rule 15d-6 under the Exchange Act.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee has
not assumed, and shall not by its performance hereunder be deemed to have
assumed, any of the duties or obligations of the Company or any other Person
with respect to (1) the registration of the Certificates pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), (2) the issuance or
sale of the Certificates, or (3) compliance with the provisions of the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any applicable federal or state securities
or other laws including, without limitation, any requirements to update the
registration statement or prospectus relating to the Certificates in order to
render the same not materially misleading to investors.
-75-
(d) In connection with the Company's preparation of any Form 15 or of any
Periodic Report, the Trustee shall provide it with information which it may
reasonably request concerning the number and identity of the Holders appearing
on the Certificate Register maintained by the Certificate Registrar, but, other
than in respect of Depository Participants, the Trustee shall have no duty or
obligation to provide information which does not appear on the Certificate
Register, including any information concerning the ownership of Persons for whom
a nominee is the Holder of record.
ARTICLE IX
DEFAULT
Section 9.1 Events of Default. In case one or more of the following
-----------------
Events of Default by the Administrator shall occur and be continuing:
(i) a failure on the part of the Administrator duly to observe or
perform in any material respect any of the covenants or agreements on the
part of the Administrator in the Certificates or in this Agreement herein
contained which continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date
on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied,
shall have been given to the Administrator by the Trustee, the Certificate
Insurer or the Company, or to the Administrator and the Trustee by the
holders of Certificates of each Class affected thereby evidencing, as to
each such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25%;
provided, however, if the failure stated in the notice cannot be corrected
within the applicable period, the Trustee may consent to a reasonable
extension of time if corrective action is instituted by the Administrator
within the applicable period and diligently pursued until fully corrected;
or
(ii) a failure by the Administrator to make a Monthly Advance or
Expense Advance as required by Section 6.11 within three (3) Business Days
after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been
given to the Administrator by the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, or the
Company; or
(iii) a failure by the Administrator to cause the Servicers to remit
monies to the Certificate Account on or prior to each Remittance Date
pursuant to Section 4.1(c) within one (1)Business Day after the date on
which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the
Administrator by the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, or the Company; or
(iv) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling
of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the
Administrator and such decree or order shall have remained in force
undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
-76-
(v) the Administrator shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of
debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or
relating to the Administrator or of or relating to all or substantially all
of its property; or
(vi) the Administrator 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, either the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer (so long as no
Certificate Insurer Monetary Default exists or is continuing) or the holders of
Certificates of each Class affected thereby evidencing, as to each such Class,
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25%, by notice in writing to the
Administrator (and to the Trustee if given by the Certificateholders as provided
above) may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Administrator
under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Assets and the proceeds thereof;
provided, however, that the rights and obligations of the Administrator under
this Agreement may not be terminated by a party other than the Certificate
Insurer for so long as no Certificate Insurer Monetary Default exists and is
continuing, without first obtaining the written consent of the Certificate
Insurer. Such notice shall specify, to the extent possible, the timing and the
method of transition to a new administrator. On or after the receipt by the
Administrator of such written notice and upon the effective date of the transfer
to the new administrator, all authority and power of the Administrator under
this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Assets
or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee, or the new
administrator if one shall have been appointed, pursuant to and under this
Section 9.1; and, without limitation, the Trustee, or the new administrator if
one shall have been appointed, is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Administrator, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any
and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts
or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of
the Mortgage Assets and related documents, or otherwise. The Administrator
agrees to cooperate with the Trustee, or the new administrator if one shall have
been appointed, in effecting the termination of the Administrator's
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to the Trustee, or the new administrator if one shall have been
appointed, for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time
be credited by the Administrator to the Certificate Account or thereafter
received with respect to the Mortgage Assets.
Section 9.2 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On or after the
----------------------------------------
time the Administrator receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 9.1
or the Trustee receives notice of resignation of the Administrator, as permitted
by Section 6.10, the Company shall direct the Trustee to appoint any established
housing and home finance institution having a net worth of not less than
$10,000,000 which is acceptable to the Rating Agencies and, for so long as no
Certificate Insurer Monetary Default Exists, the Certificate Insurer, as
evidenced by a letter from each of the Rating Agencies and the Certificate
Insurer to such effect, as the successor to the Administrator hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Administrator hereunder. If no such successor shall have been appointed
within 30 days after such
-77-
termination or resignation, then either the Company or the Trustee may petition
a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
administrator. Pending appointment of a successor to the Administrator
hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided,
except to the extent prohibited by applicable law. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Trustee and the Company may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage
Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such
compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Administrator hereunder.
The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
If the Trustee shall succeed to the Administrator's duties as administrator
as provided herein, it shall do so in its individual capacity and not in its
capacity as trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VII shall be
inapplicable to the Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Administrator
hereunder. If the Trustee shall act as administrator hereunder, then in addition
to its Trustee's fees, it shall be entitled to the same fees as the
Administrator (as provided for in Section 6.4 above) for such period of time as
it acts as administrator. In the event that the Trustee shall not seek to
appoint a successor servicer within three months of its succession to the
Administrator's duties as servicer, it shall resign as Trustee pursuant to
Section 7.7 and shall appoint, or petition a court to appoint, a successor
trustee pursuant to such Section 7.7.
Section 9.3 Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any such
----------------------------------
termination or appointment of a successor to the Administrator, the Trustee
shall give prompt written notice thereof to all of the Certificateholders at
their respective addresses as they appear in the Certificate Register and, for
so long as the Certificate Insurance Policy remains in effect, to the
Certificate Insurer.
Section 9.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency
--------------------------------
of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the
Administrator or the property of the Administrator or its creditors, the Trustee
(irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand to terminate the
rights of the Administrator hereunder) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to
(i) file and prove a claim for the whole amount due, owing and
unpaid in respect of the Certificates issued hereunder and to file such
other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have
the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel) and of the Certificateholders allowed in such
proceeding, and
(ii) collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same,
and any receiver, assignee, trustees, liquidator, or sequestrator (or other
similar official) in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Certificateholder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that
the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Certificate holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel.
-78-
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Certificateholder or
the Certificate Insurer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or
composition affecting any of the Certificates or the rights of any holder
thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Certificate holder or the Certificate Insurer in any such proceeding.
Section 9.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
-------------------------------------------------
Certificate. All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or any of the
-----------
Certificates may be prosecuted to judgment or final decree, enforced and
collected by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Certificates or
the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such
proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee
of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable
benefit of the holders of the Certificates in respect of which such judgment has
been recovered. Any surplus shall be available for the payment of the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel.
Section 9.6 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. The Trustee may in its
------------------------------
discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of
Certificateholders by all available and appropriate proceedings, at law or in
equity, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in
this Agreement or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to
enforce any other proper remedy. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Trustee or to the Certif icateholders is intended to be
exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent asser tion or employment of any
other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 9.7 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the
----------------------------
Trustee or of any holder of any Certificate to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon any Event of Default or otherwise shall impair any such right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by the law to the
Trustee or to the Certificateholders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Certificateholders,
as the case may be.

TERMINATION
Section 11.1 Termination upon Repurchase by the Company or Liquidation of
------------------------------------------------------------
All Asset Certificates and All PWRES Mortgage Loans. Subject to Section 10.2,
---------------------------------------------------
the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company and the Trustee
created hereby (other than the rights, privileges and immunities of the Trustee
under Article VII, the obligations of the Company under Section 7.5 and the
obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments to Certificateholders after
the final Distribution Date and the obligation of the Trustee to send certain
notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon the last action required
to be taken by the Trustee on the final Distribution Date pursuant to this
Article XI following the earlier of (a) the repurchase by the Company of all
Asset Certificates and all PWRES Mortgage Loans remaining in the Trust Fund at a
price (the
-82-
"Termination Price") equal to 100% of the Pool Principal Balance, plus accrued
and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of
the Mortgage Loans to the date of such repurchase; and (b) the later of the
final payment or other liquidation of the last Asset Certificate and/or PWRES
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund; provided, however, that in no event
-------- -------
shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the date which is the
earlier of (i) the Latest Possible Maturity Date and (ii) 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 of America to the Court of St.
Xxxxx, living on the date of this Agreement. The right of the Company to
repurchase all of the Asset Certificates and the PWRES Mortgage Loans (other
than the 40-year Loan) pursuant to clause (a) above shall be conditioned upon
(x) the Pool Principal Balance as of the date of such repurchase being equal to
or less than 10% of the Pool Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, and (y)
if termination pursuant to such clause (a) would result in a claim being made
under the Certificate Insurance Policy or would result, after application of all
amounts payable to the Certificate Insurer in any outstanding Cumulative
Certificate Insurance Payments the consent of the Certificate Insurer.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the
principal balance of the PWRES Mortgage Loan identified as "Loan Id 345828" on
the Schedule of Mortgage Loans (the "40-Year Loan") has not been reduced to zero
on or before the Distribution Date occuring in October 2026, and any Class of
Certificates remains outstanding on such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall
cause PWRES to repurchase such 40-Year Loan on such Distribution Date pursuant
to Section 8(g) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement at a price equal to 100%
of the Scheduled Principal Balance of such 40-Year Loan as of such Distribution
Date, plus accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate to the date of such
repurchase.
Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment
of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the
Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th day and
not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final
distribution specifying (A) the Distribution Date upon which final payment of
the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at
the office of the Trustee therein designated, (B) the estimated amount of any
such final payment and (C) 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 of the Trustee therein
specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at
the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. If such notice is given in
connection with the exercise by the Company of its right of repurchase of the
Asset Certificates, the Company shall deposit in the Certificate Account not
later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day preceding the final Distribution Date
in next day funds an amount equal to the price described above, it being
understood that the Trust Fund shall be entitled to any distribution in respect
of the Mortgage Assets due and payable on the Remittance Date preceding the date
of repurchase. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders the amounts specified in
Section 10.3, any such distribution being in lieu of the distribution otherwise
required to be made on the Distribution Date upon which the repurchase is
effected. Upon certification to the Trustee following such final deposit, the
Trustee shall promptly release to the Company the Mortgage Assets and related
documentation.
-83-
On the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute amounts as
specified in Section 10.3. Distributions on each Certificate shall be made on
the final Distribution Date in the manner specified in Section 4.3 but only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates.
If all of the Certificateholders do not surrender their Certificates for
cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above-mentioned
written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second
notice all the Certificates have not been surrendered for cancellation, the
Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate
steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other
assets which remain subject hereto. In addition, the Trustee shall reimburse the
Certificate Insurer from amounts available in the Certificate Account to the
extent of any Cumulative Certificate Insurance Payments, but only after all
distributions have been made pursuant to Section 4.2 and after all Reinvestment
Income has been paid to the Administrator; provided, however, that the Trustee
shall retain sufficient funds in the Certificate Account to make final payment
to all non-tendering Certificateholders. In addition, the Trustee shall continue
to hold any remaining funds in the Policy Payments Account for the benefit of
the non-tendering Certificateholders, and such Certificateholders shall
thereafter look solely to the Trustee for payment thereof, and all liability of
the Certificate Insurer with respect to such funds shall thereupon cease.
Regardless of the date upon which the Certificateholders shall surrender
their Certificates for cancellation, no interest shall accrue to such
Certificateholders after the Distribution Date specified in the first above
mentioned written notice.
Section 11.2 Additional Termination Requirements.
-----------------------------------
(a) If the Company exercises its purchase option as provided in Section
11.1, the Trust Fund and the Series 1996-C REMIC shall be terminated upon
satisfaction of the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has
been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure to
comply with the requirements of this Section 11.2 will not (1) result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Series 1996-C REMIC as
defined in Section 860F of the Code, or (2) cause the Series 1996-C REMIC
established hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding:

ARTICLE XIII.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 13.1 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time
---------
by the Company and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions herein or therein which may be defective or inconsistent with any
other provisions herein, or to add any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under this Agreement, provided that subject to the next
-------- ----
sentence, in each case such action will not adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder. Any amendment described above
shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
the Certificateholders if either (i) an Opinion of Counsel is obtained to such
effect, or (ii) the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each
Rating Agency confirming that the amendment, if made, would not result in the
downgrading or withdrawal of the rating then assigned by such Rating Agency to
the Certificates (determined without regard to the Certificate Insurance
Policy). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee and the Company may at any
time and from time to time amend this Agreement, without the consent of the
Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer, to modify, eliminate or add to
any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to
maintain the qualification of the Series 1996-C REMIC as a REMIC under the Code
or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund
pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against the Trustee at any time prior
to the final redemption of the Certificates, provided that the Trustee has
obtained an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion also shall be addressed to the
Company) to the effect that such action is necessary or appropriate to maintain
such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a
tax.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Company and the
Trustee with the consent of the Certificateholders evidencing not less than 66%
of the Voting Rights of the Certificates, 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; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (a) reduce in any
-------- -------
manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, collections of payments on the
Mortgage Assets or distributions which are required to be made on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (b) adversely
affect in any material respects the interests of the Holders of any Class of
Certificates in any manner other than as described in (a), without the consent
of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not
less than 66% of such Class, or (c) reduce the aforesaid percentages of
Certificates of any Class required to consent to any such amendment, without the
consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall
not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment will not cause
a REMIC Loss at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. In addition,
notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, this Agreement may not
be amended in any manner which would adversely affect the Certificate Insurer or
the Certificateholders without the prior written consent of the Certificate
Insurer.
-87-
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent the Trustee
shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each
Certificateholder.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Certificateholders under
this Section 11.1 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 of Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.
Section 13.2 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts. To the extent
--------------------------------------
permitted by applicable law, a memorandum describing this Agreement is subject
to recordation in all appropriate public offices, such recordation to be
effected by the Company and at the Company's expense and direction, but only
upon direction of the Company accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein
provided and for other purposes, 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.
Section 13.3 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or
------------------------------------------
incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor shall it 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.
Except as expressly provided herein, no Certificateholder shall have any
right to vote 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; nor, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, 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 or by availing of any
provisions 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 unless also the
Holders of Certificates, with the written consent of the Certificate Insurer, of
each Class affected thereby evidencing not less than 50% of the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Certificates shall have made written request upon the
Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee
hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it 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 Certifi-
-88-
cateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall
have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provisions
of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of
any other of such Certificates or the Certificate Insurer, 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
equal, ratable and common benefit of all of the Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of
this Section 13.3, each and every Certificateholder, the Certificate Insurer and
the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.
Section 13.4 Limitation on Liability of Parties. Each party to this
----------------------------------
Agreement shall be liable under this Agreement only to the extent that
obligations are imposed upon the party against whom enforcement is sought.
Section 13.5 Limitation on Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees

or for refraining to take any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement.

which a notice or other communication to the Certificate Insurer relates to an
Event of Default or a Notice of Claim under the Certificate Insurance Policy or

shall be deemed to constitute consent
-89-
or acceptance, then a copy of such notice or other communication should also be
sent to the attention of the General Counsel and Head-Financial Guaranty Group
of the Certificate Insurer and shall be marked to indicate "URGENT MATERIAL
ENCLOSED". Unless otherwise specified herein, any notice required or permitted

prepaid, at the address of such Holder as shown in the Certificate Register. Any
notice so mailed within the time prescribed in this Agreement shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the
Certificateholder receives such notice. The parties to this Agreement agree that
when the Trustee takes an action or agrees to take an action upon receipt of a
telex, telecopy or facsimile transmission, such telex, telecopy or facsimile
transmission shall be deemed to be an original document for all purposes
(including court proceedings).
Section 13.8 Notices to the Rating Agencies. The Company shall deliver
------------------------------
written notice of the following events to the Rating Agencies and the
Certificate Insurer promptly following the occurrence thereof: material
amendment to this Agreement or to the Asset Issuance Agreements; any event of
default; change in or termination of the Trustee; and final payment to
Certificateholders. In addition, the Company shall deliver copies of the
Distribution Date Statements to the Rating Agencies and the Certificate Insurer
at the time such documents are required to be delivered pursuant to this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to deliver such notices or
copies shall not constitute an event of default under this Agreement.
Section 13.9 Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the
--------------------------
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or
terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Certificates
or the rights of the Holders thereof.
Section 13.10 Restrictions on Sale of Assets. The Trustee is prohibited
------------------------------
from selling or otherwise disposing of any assets of the Trust Fund, except as
specifically set forth herein, without the consent of all of the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer unless the Trustee shall have
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such disposition will not
cause a REMIC Loss.
Section 13.11 Intention of Parties.
--------------------
(a) Each of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the
transfers of the Mortgage Assets by the Depositor contemplated and effected
under this Agreement are absolute sales and not pledges or assignments of only a
security interest and shall be given effect as such for all purposes. The
limited rights of recourse hereunder against the Company are intended to provide
to the Trustee a remedy for breach of representations and warranties by the
Company relating to the condition of the property sold, rather than to the
collectibility of underlying indebtedness, and therefore are consistent with
warranties ordinarily given by a seller of goods under Article 2 of the Uniform
Commercial Code.
(b) It is the intention of the Trustee that Certificateholders shall
not be personally liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the beneficial
ownership interests represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for
any losses or expenses of the Trust Fund or for any reason
-90-
whatsoever, and that Certificates upon execution, countersignature and delivery
thereof by the Trustee are and shall be deemed fully paid. However, in the event
that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage
Assets and the other assets constituting the Trust Fund are held to be property
of the Company, then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such
conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Assets and all other assets
constituting the Trust Fund by the Company to the Trustee to secure a debt or
other obligation of the Company and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed
to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the
conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by
the Company to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Company's right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Assets and all amounts payable to the
holders of the Mortgage Assets in accordance with the terms thereof and all
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, from time to time held or invested in any account maintained
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, whether in the form of cash,
instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by such
security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Company's obligations under
this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the Certificateholders
the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage Assets and the Trust
Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
Accordingly, the Company hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in the
Mortgage Assets and all other property described in clause (2) of the preceding
sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance by the
Company of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding sentence.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the conveyance pursuant
to Section 2.1 hereof to be a true, absolute and unconditional sale of the
Mortgage Assets and all other assets constituting the Trust Fund by the Company
to the Trustee. The Company and the Trustee, at the Administrator's direction
and expense, shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such
actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to
create a security interest in the Mortgage Assets and all other assets
constituting the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be
maintained as such for so long as the Mortgage Assets remain outstanding and are
held by the Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Trustee, at the direction and expense of the Administrator, shall file, or shall
cause to be filed, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any
original filings necessary under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any
jurisdiction to perfect the Trustee's security interest in or lien on the
Mortgage Assets.
Section 13.12 Class X Voting Rights.
----------------------
The 1% of Voting Rights allocated to the Class X Certificates shall be exercised
by the consent of Class X Certificateholders evidencing aggregate interests in
excess of 50% in the Class X Certificates.
