transfer to the assignee thereof, under the Mortgage to which
the assignment relates); provided that, if the related
Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable public
recording office, such assignment of the Mortgage may exclude
the information to be provided by the recording office;
(iv) the original or copies of each assumption,
modification, written assurance or substitution agreement, if
any;
(v) except as provided below, the original or
duplicate original lender's title policy and all riders

or (c) the lender's title policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying
the requirements of clause (ii), (iii) or (v) above, respectively, concurrently

to either the Servicer or the Depositor by the applicable title insurer in the
case of clause (v) above, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Trustee,
in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, such original Mortgage or such
interim assignment, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated

the case of clause (v) above, no later than 120 days following the Closing Date;
provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver by such date
each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by reason of the fact that any

in the case of each such interim assignment, because the related Mortgage has
not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Depositor shall
deliver such documents to the Trustee as promptly as possible upon receipt

related Mortgage Loan and the public recording office requires the presentation
of a "lost instruments affidavit and indemnity" or any equivalent document,
because only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of
satisfaction or reconveyance, the Servicer shall execute and deliver or cause to
be executed and delivered such a document to the public recording office. In the
case where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or
in the case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording
office, the Originator shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of such Mortgage
certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original recorded Mortgage.

assignee thereof, (ii) cause such assignment to be in proper form for recording
in the appropriate public office for real property records and (iii) cause to be
delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for real property
records the assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with

the information required to prepare such assignment in recordable form, the
Servicer's obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording shall
be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in any event
within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof and that the Servicer need not
cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan (a) the
Mortgaged Property and Mortgage File relating to which are located in California
or (b) in any other jurisdiction under the laws of which in the opinion of
counsel the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the
Trustee's and the Certificateholders' interest in the related Mortgage Loan.
In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the
Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the
Trustee, will deposit in the Collection Account the portion of such payment that
is required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.08
hereof.

that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage
Loan. The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or
examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine
that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented
purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or
that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to
the Depositor, the Servicer and the Originator a Final Certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit G, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If, in the course of such review, the Trustee finds any document
constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of
Section 2.01, the Trustee shall list such as an exception in the Final
Certification; provided, however that the Trustee shall not make any
determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all
right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee
thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable
form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee
thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The Originator shall
promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so
notified of such defect and, if the Originator does not correct or cure such
defect within such period, the Originator shall either (a) substitute for the
related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be
accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section
2.03, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from
the date the Originator was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase
Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such
substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date, except
that if the substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this
provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the
appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between either the Servicer
or the Originator and the Trustee over the location or status of the recorded
document, then such substitution or purchase shall occur within 720 days from
the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to each Rating Agency
within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage Loan (a) which
has not been returned by the appropriate recording office or (b) as to which
there is a dispute as to location or status of such Mortgage Loan. Such notice
shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is
returned to the Trustee. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase
pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee
of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit M. No substitution
is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for
such month. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by
the Originator in the Collection Account on or prior to the Distribution Account
Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month of
repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit and certification with respect
thereto in the form of Exhibit M hereto, the Trustee shall release the related
Mortgage File to the Originator and shall execute and deliver at the
Originator's request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the
Originator, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the
Originator, or a designee, the Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto.
The Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in
accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The
Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, upon the execution or receipt
thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments constituting the
Mortgage File as come into the possession of the Servicer from time to time.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Originator to
substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01 above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting
such defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder
against the Originator.
Section 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Originator.
(a) The Originator hereby makes the representations and warranties set
forth in Schedule II hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the
Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein,
as of the Cut-off Date.
(b) The Originator hereby makes the representations and warranties set
forth in Schedule III hereto with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and by this
reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the
Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date.
(c) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) that materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other
parties. The Originator hereby covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of
its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a breach of any
representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan,
it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if such breach is not so
cured, shall, (i) if such 90- day period expires prior to the second anniversary
of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") from
the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the
manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii)
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the
Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided, however, that any such
substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery
to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit M
and the Mortgage File for any such Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Originator
shall promptly reimburse the Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses
reasonably incurred by the Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the
remedies for such breach. With respect to the representations and warranties
described in this Section which are made to the best of the Originator's
knowledge, if it is discovered by either the Depositor, the Originator or the
Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and
such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related
Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein,
notwithstanding the Originator's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance
of such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of
the applicable representation or warranty.
With respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Originator shall
deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such other
documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note
endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01. No substitution
is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for
such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in
the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be
retained by the Originator on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the
month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the
monthly payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter
the Originator shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule
for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and
the Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee.
Upon such substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject
to-the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Originator shall be
deemed to have made with respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as
of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to
Section 2.03(b) with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution
and the deposit to the Collection Account of the amount required to be deposited
therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following
paragraph, the Trustee shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of
the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Originator
and shall execute and deliver at the Originator's direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by the Originator, in each case without
recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in the Originator, or its
designee, the Trustee's interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for
pursuant to this Section 2.03.
For any month in which the Originator substitutes one or more Substitute
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will
determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all
such Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after
application of the scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments due in
the month of substitution). The amount of such shortage (the "Substitution
Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed
Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the
Collection Account by the Originator on or before the Distribution Account
Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar
month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or
replaced hereunder.
In the event that the Originator shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan,
the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.05 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for
the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the
Originator became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage
Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price and receipt of a Request for
Release in the form of Exhibit M hereto, the Trustee shall release the related
Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person, and
the Trustee shall execute and deliver at such Person's direction such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. It
is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of any Person
to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has
occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against such Persons
respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the
Trustee on their behalf.
The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall
survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee for the benefit
of the Certificateholders.
Section 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the
Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to
each Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof or such other date set forth herein
that as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to
it by PWRES, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage
Notes were subject to no offsets, defenses or counterclaims.
The Depositor hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the Trustee all of
its rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans including, without limitation, the
representations and warranties of the Originator made pursuant to Section
2.03(b) hereof, together with all rights of the Depositor to require the
Originator to cure any breach thereof or to substitute or repurchase for any
affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the
Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach of any of
the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04
(referred to herein as a "breach"), which breach materially and adversely
affects the interest of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and to each Rating Agency.
Section 2.05. Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
Substitutions.
Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Originator, the Servicer, or the
Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact
shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of discovery)
give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the
Trustee shall require the Originator, at the Originator's option, to either (i)
substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03(c) with respect to substitutions
are satisfied, a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan, or
(ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such discovery in
the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or
warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03. The Trustee shall reconvey to the
Originator the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner,
and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased
for breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 2.03.
Section 2.06. Execution and Delivery of Certificates.
The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust
Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has executed and
delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized
denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the
Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the rights
referred to above for the benefit of all present and future Holders of the
Certificates and to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement to the best
of its ability, to the end that the interests of the Holders of the Certificates
may be adequately and effectively protected.
Section 2.07. REMIC Matters.
The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations as "regular
interests" or "residual interests" and "latest possible maturity date" for
federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby. The "Startup Day"
for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing Date. Each REMIC's
fiscal year shall be the calendar year.
Section 2.08. Covenants of the Servicer.
The Servicer hereby covenants to the Depositor and the Trustee as follows:
(a) the Servicer shall comply in the performance of its obligations under
this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of the insurer under
each Required Insurance Policy; and
(b) no written information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished
in writing or written report delivered to the Depositor, any affiliate of the
Depositor or the Trustee and prepared by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement
will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact necessary to make such information, certificate, statement or report not
misleading.
Section 2.09. Representations and Warranties of the Servicer.
The Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor and the
Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified herein, as of the Cut-off
Date:
(a) The Servicer is duly organized as a limited partnership and is validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California and is
duly authorized and qualified to transact any and all business contemplated by
this Agreement to be conducted by the Servicer in any state in which a Mortgaged
Property is located or is otherwise not required under applicable law to effect
such qualification and, in any event, is in compliance with the doing business
laws of any such state, to the extent necessary to ensure its ability to enforce
each Mortgage Loan, to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement and to perform any of its other obligations under this
Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.
(b) The Servicer has the full power and authority to service each Mortgage
Loan, and to execute, deliver and perform, and to enter into and consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has duly authorized by all
necessary action on the part of the Servicer the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement; and this Agreement, assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto,
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer, enforceable
against the Servicer in accordance with its terms, except that (a) the
enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally and
(b) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of
equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of
the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.
(c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Servicer, and the
servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Servicer under this Agreement, the
consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms thereof are in the ordinary
course of business of the Servicer and will not (A) result in a material breach
of any term or provision of the limited partnership agreement of the Servicer or
(B) materially conflict with, result in a material breach, violation or
acceleration of, or result in a material default under, the terms of any other
material agreement or instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which it
may be bound, or (C) constitute a material violation of any statute, order or
regulation applicable to the Servicer of any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the
Servicer; and the Servicer is not in breach or violation of any material
indenture or other material agreement or instrument, or in violation of any
statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative
agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it which breach or
violation may materially impair the Servicer's ability to perform or meet any of
its obligations under this Agreement.
(d) The Servicer is an approved servicer of conventional mortgage loans for
FNMA or FHLMC and is a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development pursuant to sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act.
(e) No litigation is pending or threatened against the Servicer that would
materially and adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of
this Agreement or the ability of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans or
to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement in accordance with
the terms thereof.
(f) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
performance by the Servicer of, or compliance by the Servicer with, this
Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, or if
any such consent, approval, authorization or order is required, the Servicer has
obtained the same.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01. Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.
For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and
customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan servicers. In
connection with such servicing and administration, the Servicer shall have full
power and authority, acting alone and/or through Subservicers as provided in
Section 3.02 hereof, to do or cause to be done any and all things that it may
deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and
administration, including but not limited to, the power and authority, subject
to the terms hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other
instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged
Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only
in the manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance
Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or
other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any
Mortgage Loan; provided that the Servicer shall not take any action that is
inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The
Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same
manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio
in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, and shall not
make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any Mortgage Loan which
would cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the
imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of the Code.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer, in its own name
or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and
empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the Servicer believes it
appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or
discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. The Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor
and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery by either or
both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service
and administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent that the Servicer is not
permitted to execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding
sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall
execute such documents and deliver them to the Servicer.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer
shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of
effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties,
which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related
collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further as
provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Servicer, if any, in
effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of
calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the
Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that
the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
Section 3.02. Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of Servicers.
(a) The Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by a
Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided, however, that such
subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related subservicing agreement
must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent
with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Unless the context
otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken
by the Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be
taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions
of any subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating
to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Subservicer or
reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer
shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the
same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone
were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. All actions of each
Subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be
performed as an agent of the Servicer with the same force and effect as if
performed directly by the Servicer.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have
received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage
Loans that are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such payments are
remitted by the Subservicer to the Servicer.
(c) If the Servicer shall for any reason no longer act in such capacity
hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of an Event of Default), the
Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to
the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of the
Servicer under any subservicing agreements.
Section 3.03. Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the
Servicer.
The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the
Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a
designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Servicer hereunder and in
connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the related rights of
the Servicer hereunder; provided that the Servicer shall not be relieved of any
of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or
its designee. Neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall have any
responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer nor
shall the Trustee or the Depositor be obligated to supervise the performance of
the Servicer hereunder or otherwise.
Section 3.04. Trustee to Act as Servicer.
In the event that the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee or
its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i)
liable for losses of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof or any acts or
omissions of the predecessor Servicer hereunder), (ii) obligated to make
Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to
effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including,
but not limited to, repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof, (iv) responsible for expenses of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 2.03 or (v) deemed to have made any representations and
warranties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.09 hereunder). Any such
assumption shall be subject to Section 7.02 hereof. If the Servicer shall for
any reason no longer be the Servicer (including by reason of any Event of
Default), the Trustee or its successor shall succeed to any rights and
obligations of the Servicer under each subservicing agreement.
The Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the
Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to
each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing agreement and the
Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts
collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly
and efficient transfer of the substitute subservicing agreement to the assuming
party.
Section 3.05. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Collection Account;
Distribution Account.
(a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with the
customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers to
collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage
Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and
the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent
with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late
payment charge or any prepayment charge or penalty interest in connection with
the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) extend the due dates for payments due
on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180 days; provided, however,
that the Servicer cannot extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan past the
date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as
of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any such arrangement, the Servicer shall
make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.01 during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization
schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such
arrangements. The Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in
litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage,
Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with
respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing
the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment
is required is prohibited by applicable law.
(b) The Servicer shall establish and maintain a Collection Account into
which the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis
within one Business Day of receipt, except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, the following payments and collections remitted by Subservicers or
received by it in respect of Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date
(other than in respect of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or
before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited
hereunder:
(i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans,
including Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net of
the related Servicing Fee;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, other than
proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged
Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's
normal servicing procedures;
(iv) any amount required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.05(e) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.09(b), 3.09(d), and in respect of net monthly rental income from
REO Property pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof;
(vi) all Substitution Adjustment Amounts;
(vii) all Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01; and
(viii) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.
In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a buydown
agreement, on each Due Date for such Mortgage Loan, in addition to the monthly
payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall cause funds to be
deposited into the Collection Account in an amount required to cause an amount
of interest to be paid with respect to such Mortgage Loan equal to the amount of
interest that has accrued on such Mortgage Loan from the preceding Due Date at
the Mortgage Rate net of the related Servicing Fee on such date.
The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Servicer shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of prepayment penalties, late payment
charges or assumption fees, if collected, need not be remitted by the Servicer.
In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be
remitted, it may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the
Collection Account to withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any
provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction
may be accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the Trustee or such
other institution maintaining the Collection Account which describes the amounts
deposited in error in the Collection Account. The Servicer shall maintain
adequate records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section.
All funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be held in trust for the
Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08.
(c) (Reserved)
(d) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Distribution Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon
receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the following:
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(ix);
(ii) any amount deposited by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(e)
in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be
deposited in the Distribution Account.
In the event that the Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be
remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw such amount from the
Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such
direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer's Certificate to the
Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Distribution
Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be held by the
Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with
this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08. In no event shall
the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Distribution Account at the
direction of the Servicer.
(e) Each institution at which the Collection Account or the Distribution
Account is maintained shall invest the funds therein as directed in writing by
the Servicer in Permitted Investments, which shall mature not later than (i) in
the case of the Collection Account, the second Business Day next preceding the
related Distribution Account Deposit Date (except that if such Permitted
Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account, then
such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business Day next
preceding such Distribution Account Deposit Date) and (ii) in the case of the
Distribution Account, the Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date
(except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution
that maintains such fund or account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature
not later than such Distribution Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold or
disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made
in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All
income and gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on
deposit in the Collection Account or the Distribution Account shall be for the
benefit of the Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it
monthly as provided herein. The amount of any realized losses in the Collection
Account or the Distribution Account incurred in any such account in respect of
any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Servicer in the
Collection Account or paid to the Trustee by wire transfer of immediately
available funds for deposit into the Distribution Account, as applicable. The
Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall not be liable for the amount of any loss
incurred in respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds held in the
Collection Account or the Distribution Account and made in accordance with this
Section 3.05. In the absence of written instructions by the Servicer to invest
funds held in the Collection Account or the Distribution Account, all funds on
deposit thereon shall remain uninvested.
(f) The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Originator, each
Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the
Collection Account prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to
the Servicer, the Originator, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any
proposed change of the location of the Distribution Account prior to any change
thereof.
Section 3.06. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow
Accounts.
(a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative
of current law, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
(each, an "Escrow Account") and deposit and retain therein all collections from
the Mortgagors (or advances by the Servicer) for the payment of taxes,
assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the account of
the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the Servicer to compel a Mortgagor
to establish an Escrow Account in violation of applicable law.
(b) Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be
made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance
premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse
the Servicer out of related collections for any payments made pursuant to
Sections 3.01 hereof (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance
premiums) and 3.09 hereof (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any
Mortgagors any sums determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by
law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on
balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at
the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01 hereof. The
Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Fund.
(c) The Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in Section 3.06(a)
that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when the tax, premium or
other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but the Servicer shall be
required so to advance only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith
judgment of the Servicer, will be recoverable by the Servicer out of Insurance
Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise.
Section 3.07. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the
Mortgage Loans.
The Servicer shall afford the Depositor and the Trustee reasonable access
to all records and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans and all accounts,
insurance information and other matters relating to this Agreement, such access
being afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during
normal business hours at the office designated by the Servicer.
Upon reasonable advance notice in writing, the Servicer will provide to
each Certificateholder which is a savings and loan association, bank or
insurance company certain reports and reasonable access to information and
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans sufficient to permit such
Certificateholder to comply with applicable regulations of the OTS or other
regulatory authorities with respect to investment in the Certificates; provided
that the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such
Certificateholder for actual expenses incurred by the Servicer in providing such
reports and access.
Section 3.08. Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Account and
Distribution Account.
(a) The Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the Collection
Account for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to the Servicer (to the extent not previously retained by
the Servicer) the servicing compensation to which it is entitled pursuant
to Section 3.14, and to pay to the Servicer, as additional servicing
compensation, earnings on or investment income with respect to funds in or
credited to the Collection Account;
(ii) to reimburse the Servicer for unreimbursed Advances made by it,
such right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited
to amounts received on the Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which any such
Advance was made;
(iii) to reimburse the Servicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance
previously made;
(iv) to reimburse the Servicer for Insured Expenses from the
related Insurance Proceeds;
(v) to reimburse the Servicer for (a) unreimbursed Servicing Advances,
the Servicer's right to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (a) with
respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to amounts received on such
Mortgage Loan(s) which represent late recoveries of the payments for which
such advances were made pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.06 and (b)
for unpaid Servicing Fees as provided in Section 3.11 hereof;
(vi) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or
property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased pursuant to
Section 2.02, 2.03 or 3.11, all amounts received thereon after the date of
such purchase;
(vii) to reimburse the Originator, the Servicer or the Depositor for
expenses incurred by any of them and reimbursable pursuant to Section 6.03
hereof;
(viii) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Collection Account and
not required to be deposited therein;
(ix) on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date, to withdraw
an amount equal to the related Available Funds and the Trustee Fee for such
Distribution Date and remit by wire transfer of immediately available funds
such amount to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account; and
(x) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon termination of
this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.
The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage
Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from
the Collection Account pursuant to such subclauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and
(vi). Prior to making any withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to
subclause (iii), the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's
Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any previous Advance
determined by the Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the
related Mortgage Loans(s), and their respective portions of such Nonrecoverable
Advance.
(b) The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Distribution Account for
distributions to Certificateholders, in the manner specified in this Agreement
(and to withhold from the amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that it
is authorized to withhold pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 8.11). In
addition, the Trustee may from time to time make withdrawals from the
Distribution Account for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to itself the Trustee Fee for the related Distribution
Date;
(ii) to pay to the Servicer as additional servicing compensation
earnings on or investment income with respect to funds in the Distribution
Account;
(iii) to withdraw and return to the Servicer any amount deposited in
the Distribution Account and not required to be deposited therein; and
(iv) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account upon termination
of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.
Section 3.09. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of Primary
Insurance Policies.
(a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained, as and to the extent
required by each Mortgage Loan, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an
amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value
of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (y) the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (z) an amount such that
the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or
the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. Each such policy of standard hazard
insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a
standard mortgagee clause. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such
policies shall be held in an escrow account (until applied to the restoration or
repair of the related Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures) until applied to
payment on the Mortgage Loan and deposited in the Collection Account. Any cost
incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the
purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or
remittances to the Trustee for their benefit, be added to the principal balance
of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so
permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Servicer out of late payments by
the related Mortgagor or out of Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by
Section 3.08 hereof. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on
property acquired in respect of a Mortgage other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is located at the
time of origination of the Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood
hazard area and such area is participating in the national flood insurance
program, the Servicer shall cause flood insurance to be maintained with respect
to such Mortgage Loan. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the
least of (i) the original principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii)
the replacement value of the improvements which are part of such Mortgaged
Property, and (iii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the
related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program.
(b) In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket
policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the
first sentence of this Section, it being understood and agreed that such policy
may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to those
commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers. If such policy
contains a deductible clause, the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall
not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying
with the first sentence of this Section, and there shall have been a loss on the
Mortgage Loan that would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the
Collection Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy
because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as Servicer
of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the
Depositor, and the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, claims
under any such blanket policy.
(c) The Servicer shall not take any action which would result in
non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which,
but for the actions of the Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The
Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy
that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Certificates and is
required to be kept in force hereunder unless the replacement Primary Insurance
Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is maintained with a Qualified
Insurer.
The Servicer shall not be required to maintain any Primary Insurance Policy
(i) with respect to any Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or
equal to 80% as of any date of determination or, based on a new appraisal, the
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan represents 80% or less of the new
appraised value or (ii) if maintaining such Primary Insurance Policy is
prohibited by applicable law.
The Servicer agrees to effect the timely payment of the premiums on each
Primary Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise recoverable shall be
recoverable by the Servicer from the related liquidation proceeds.
(d) In connection with its activities as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans,
the Servicer agrees to present on behalf of itself, the Trustee and
Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policies
and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to
permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies respecting defaulted
Mortgage Loans. Any amounts collected by the Servicer under any Primary
Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Collection Account.
Section 3.10. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, when any property subject
to a Mortgage has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall to the
extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance, enforce any due-on-sale or
due-on encumbrance clauses contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the
extent permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to
the extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize
coverage under any Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Servicer is not required to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan
if the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed,
encumbered or is proposed to be conveyed or encumbered satisfies the terms and
conditions contained in the Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto and the
consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise
so required under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage as a condition to such
transfer. In the event that the Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any
such due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance clauses, or if coverage under any
Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected, or if nonenforcement is
otherwise permitted hereunder, the Servicer is authorized, subject to Section
3.10(b), to take or enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or
with the person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed or
encumbered, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note
and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable
thereon, provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if-so
covered before the Servicer enters such agreement) by the applicable Required
Insurance Policies. The Servicer, subject to Section 3.10(b), is also authorized
with the prior approval of the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies to
enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to
which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is
substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default
under this Section by reason of any transfer or assumption which the Servicer
reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever.
(b) Subject to the Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale and
due-on-encumbrance clauses to the extent set forth in Section 3.10(a) hereof, in
any case in which a Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or encumbered to a
Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into an assumption agreement
or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that
requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by
the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage
Loan, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and
delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee
to execute the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged
Property is to be conveyed or encumbered and such modification agreement or
supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as are
reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage
or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the
transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. In connection with any such
assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. In addition,
the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the
Servicer in accordance with its underwriting standards as then in effect.
Together with each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or
instrument delivered to the Trustee for execution by it, the Servicer shall
deliver an Officer's Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the
requirements of this subsection have been met in connection therewith. The
Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Custodian, if any, that any such
substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the
Trustee the original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the
case of the original shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for
all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as
all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee
collected by the Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing
compensation.
Section 3.11. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of
Certain Mortgage Loans.
The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage
Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In connection
with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow such
practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be
normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and meet the
requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided,
however, that the Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in
connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any property
unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure will
increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to
itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it
through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for
purposes of withdrawals from the Collection Account). The Servicer shall be
responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such
proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement
thereof from the liquidation proceeds with respect to the related Mortgaged
Property, as provided in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If the Servicer
has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Servicer is contemplating
acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is located within a 1
mile radius of any site listed in the Expenditure Plan for the Hazardous
Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984 or other site with environmental or
hazardous waste risks known to the Servicer, the Servicer will, prior to
acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and only take action in
accordance with its established environmental review procedures.
With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be
taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or
its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee's name shall be
placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not
in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO
Property references the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trustee's
capacity thereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the
Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer
protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as
is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may,
incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the
Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to
be in the best interest of the Certificateholders for the period prior to the
sale of such REO Property. The Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the
Trustee a statement with respect to each REO Property that has been rented
showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in
connection with the management and maintenance of such REO Property at such
times as is necessary to enable the Trustee to comply with the reporting
requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any,
from such REO Property shall be deposited in the Collection Account no later
than the close of business on each Determination Date. The Servicer shall
perform the tax reporting and withholding required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of
the Code with respect to foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting
required by Section 6050H of the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage
interest from individuals and any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the
Code with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial
entities, by preparing such tax and information returns as may be required, in
the form required, and delivering the same to the Trustee for filing.
In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to
the close of the third calendar year after the year in which the Trust Fund
acquires such Mortgaged Property unless the Trustee shall have applied for and
received an extension of such period from the Internal Revenue Service, in which
case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property for the period
of such extension. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no
Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to
continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on
behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would
(i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property"
within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC
hereunder to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the
income earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or
otherwise, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the
Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligor
is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in respect of such Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto) necessary to assure that no
withholding tax obligation arises with respect to the proceeds of such
foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure are
required to be remitted to the obligors on such Mortgage Loan.
The decision of the Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan
shall be subject to a determination by the Servicer that the proceeds of such
foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a proceeding.
The income earned from the management of any REO Properties, net of
reimbursement to the Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or
other taxes) in connection with such management and net of unreimbursed
Servicing Fees, Advances and Servicing Advances, shall be applied to the payment
of principal of and interest on the related defaulted Mortgage Loans (with
interest accruing as though such Mortgage Loans were still current) and all such
income shall be deemed, for all purposes in this Agreement, to be payments on
account of principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be
deposited into the Collection Account. To the extent the net income received
during any calendar month is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing
principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related
Mortgage Loan for such calendar month, such excess shall be considered to be a
partial prepayment of principal of the related Mortgage Loan.
The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any income
from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first,
to reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and
Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances;
third, to reimburse the Collection Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or
portions thereof) that were previously withdrawn by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.08(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued and
unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount or any
such Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property,
at the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate to the Due Date occurring in the month in
which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fifth, as a recovery of
principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess Proceeds, if any, from the liquidation of
a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be distributed to the holders of the Class A-R
Certificates.
The Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to purchase for
its own account from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan which is 91 days or more
delinquent at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any
Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account
and the Trustee, upon receipt of a certificate from the Servicer in the form of
Exhibit M hereto, shall release or cause to be released to the purchaser of such
Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the purchaser of such Mortgage
Loan, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the
purchaser of such Mortgage Loan any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and
the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the Trustee's right,
title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and all security and documents
related thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for
security. The purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall thereupon own such Mortgage
Loan, and all security and documents, free of any further obligation to the
Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto.
Section 3.12. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee by
delivering, or causing to be delivered a "Request for Release" substantially in
the form of Exhibit M. Upon receipt of such request, the Trustee shall promptly
release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Trustee shall at the
Servicer's direction execute and deliver to the Servicer the request for
reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or
such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by the
Servicer, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation
thereon. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or
deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related Mortgagor. From time to
time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose, collection under any policy of flood
insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or omissions policy, or for the purposes
of effecting a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the
Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage
or any of the other documents included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee shall,
upon delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit L
signed by a Servicing Officer, release the Mortgage File to the Servicer.
Subject to the further limitations set forth below, the Servicer shall cause the
Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned to the Trustee when the
need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is
liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the Collection Account, in
which case the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a Request for Release in
the form of Exhibit M, signed by a Servicing Officer.
If the Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding in
respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement, the Servicer
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for signature, as
appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other documents
necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain
a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity.
Section 3.13. Documents Records and Funds in Possession of Servicer to be
Held for the Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Servicer shall
transmit to the Trustee as required by this Agreement all documents and
instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the possession of the
Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds
received by the Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the Servicer as
Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All
Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the
Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of
principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but not
limited to, any funds on deposit in the Collection Account, shall be held by the
Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and
exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this
Agreement. The Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject
any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Collection Account,
Distribution Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or
may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ
of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any
claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or
in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Servicer shall be
entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are
properly due and payable to the Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 3.14. Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be
entitled to retain or withdraw from the Collection Account an amount equal to
the Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan, provided that the aggregate Servicing
Fee with respect to any Distribution Date shall be reduced (i) by an amount
equal to the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, if any, with
respect to such Distribution Date, but not below an amount equal to one-half of
the aggregate Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date before reduction thereof
in respect of such Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, and (ii) with respect to the
first Distribution Date, an amount equal to any amount to be deposited into the
Distribution Account by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and not so
deposited.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of Prepayment Interest
Excess, prepayment penalties, assumption fees, late payment charges and all
income and gain net of any losses realized from Permitted Investments shall be
retained by the Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof. The Servicer shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder (including payment of any premiums for hazard insurance and
any Primary Insurance Policy and maintenance of the other forms of insurance
coverage required by this Agreement) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as specifically provided in this Agreement.
Section 3.15. Access to Certain Documentation.
The Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to comparable
regulatory authorities supervising Holders of Subordinated Certificates and the
examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such other
authorities, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required
by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such access shall be afforded
without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request and during
normal business hours at the offices designated by the Servicer. Nothing in this
Section shall limit the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law
prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure
of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of
such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.
Section 3.16. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee on or before
120 days after the end of the Servicer's fiscal year, commencing with its 1998
fiscal year, an Officer's Certificate, signed by 2 officers of the Servicer,
stating, as to the signers thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the
Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of the performance of the
Servicer under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision and
(ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer
has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or,
if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation,
specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof. The Trustee shall forward a copy of each such statement to each Rating
Agency.
Section 3.17. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Statement;
Financial Statements.
On or before 120 days after the end of the Servicer's fiscal year,
commencing with its 1998 fiscal year, the Servicer at its expense shall cause a
nationally or regionally recognized firm of independent public accountants (who
may also render other services to the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or
any affiliate thereof) which is a member of the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee and the Depositor to
the effect that-such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to
the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement or of mortgage loans
under pooling and servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement
(such statement to have attached thereto a schedule setting forth the pooling
and servicing agreements covered thereby) and that, on the basis of such
examination, conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages
serviced for FNMA and FHLMC, such servicing has been conducted in compliance
with such pooling and servicing agreements except for such significant
exceptions or errors in records that, in the opinion of such firm, the Uniform
Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for
Mortgages serviced for FNMA and FHLMC requires it to report. In rendering such
statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating to direct servicing of
mortgage loans by Subservicers, upon comparable statements for examinations
conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for
FNMA and FHLMC (rendered within one year of such statement) of independent
public accountants with respect to the related Subservicer. Copies of such
statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request
at the Servicer's expense, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer
to the Trustee.
Section 3.18. Errors and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity Bonds.
The Servicer shall for so long as it acts as servicer under this Agreement,
obtain and maintain in force (a) a policy or policies of insurance covering
errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder
and (b) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents. Each
such policy or policies and bond shall, together, comply with the requirements
from time to time of FNMA or FHLMC for persons performing servicing for mortgage
loans purchased by FNMA or FHLMC. In the event that any such policy or bond
ceases to be in effect, the Servicer shall obtain a comparable replacement
policy or bond from an insurer or issuer, meeting the requirements set forth
above as of the date of such replacement.
ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTIONS AND ADVANCES BY THE SERVICER
Section 4.01. Advances.
The Servicer shall determine on or before each Servicer Advance Date
whether it is required to make an Advance pursuant to the definition thereof. If
the Servicer determines it is required to make an Advance, it shall, on or
before the Servicer Advance Date, either (i) deposit into the Collection Account
an amount equal to the Advance or (ii) make an appropriate entry in its records
relating to the Collection Account that any Amount Held for Future Distribution
has been used by the Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any such
Advance. Any funds so applied shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in
the Collection Account no later than the close of business on the next Servicer
Advance Date. The Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the
Collection Account for all Advances of its own funds made pursuant to this
Section as provided in Section 3.08. The obligation to make Advances with
respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue if such Mortgage Loan has been
foreclosed or otherwise terminated and the related Mortgaged Property has not
been liquidated.
The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee on the related Servicer Advance
Date an Officer's Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of
any proposed Advance determined by the Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance
and detailing the reasons for such determination.
Section 4.02. Priorities of Distribution.
(a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw the Available
Funds from the Distribution Account and apply such funds to distributions on the
Certificates in the following order and priority and, in each case, to the
extent of Available Funds remaining:
(i) (Reserved);
(ii) to each interest-bearing Class of Senior Certificates, an

Class Principal Balance thereof is reduced to zero;
(D) concurrently, 50.0000000000% to the
Class A-2 Certificates and 50.0000000000% to the Class A-3

clause (A) of the definition of the Subordinated Principal Distribution
Amount actually received or advanced for such Distribution Date (with
such amount to be allocated first from amounts calculated pursuant to
(A)(i) and (ii) then (iii) and (iv) of the definition of Subordinated
Principal Distribution Amount);
(vi) to each Class of Subordinated Certificates, subject to
paragraph (e) below, in the following order of priority:
(A) to the Class M Certificates, an amount allocable

Amount for such Distribution Date;
(B) to the Class M Certificates, an amount allocable
to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such Distribution
Date until the Class Principal Balance thereof is reduced to
zero;
(C) to the Class B-1 Certificates, an amount
allocable to interest equal to the Class Optimal Interest
Distribution Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date;

allocable to interest equal to the Class Optimal Interest
Distribution Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date;
and
(L) to the Class B-5 Certificates, an amount
allocable to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such
Distribution Date until the Class Principal Balance thereof is
reduced to zero.
(vii) to the Class A-R Certificates, any remaining funds in
the Trust Fund.
On any Distribution Date, amounts distributed in respect of Class PO Deferred
Amounts will not reduce the Class Principal Balance of the Class PO
Certificates.
On any Distribution Date, to the extent the Amount Available for Senior
Principal is insufficient to make the full distribution required to be made
pursuant to clause (iv)(x) above, (A) the amount distributable on the Class PO
Certificates in respect of principal shall be equal to the product of (1) the
Amount Available for Senior Principal and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which
is the PO Formula Principal Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of
the PO Formula Principal Amount and the Senior Principal Distribution Amount and
(B) the amount distributable on the Senior Certificates, other than the Class PO
Certificates, in respect of principal shall be equal to the product of (1) the
Amount Available for Senior Principal and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which
is the Senior Principal Distribution Amount and the denominator of which is the
sum of the Senior Principal Distribution Amount and the PO Formula Principal
Amount.
(b) (Reserved)
(c) On each Distribution Date on or after the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, notwithstanding the allocation and priority set forth in Section
4.02(a)(iv)(y), the portion of Available Funds available to be distributed as
principal of the Senior Certificates (other than the Class PO Certificates)
shall be distributed concurrently, as principal, on such Classes, pro rata, on
the basis of their respective Class Principal Balances, until the Class
Principal Balances thereof are reduced to zero.
(d) On each Distribution Date, the amount referred to in clause (i) of the
definition of Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for each Class of
Certificates for such Distribution Date shall be reduced by (i) the related
Class' pro rata share of Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls based on such Class'
Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date without
taking into account such Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and (ii) the related
Class' Allocable Share of (A) after the Special Hazard Coverage Termination
Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that became a Special Hazard Mortgage
Loan during the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date,
the excess of one month's interest at the related Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate on
the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in such
month over the amount of Liquidation Proceeds applied as interest on such
Mortgage Loan with respect to such month, (B) after the Bankruptcy Coverage
Termination Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that became subject to a
Bankruptcy Loss during the calendar month preceding the month of such
Distribution Date, the interest portion of the related Debt Service Reduction or
Deficient Valuation, (C) each Relief Act Reduction incurred during the calendar
month preceding the month of such Distribution Date and (D) after the Fraud
Coverage Termination Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan that became a
Fraud Loan during the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution
Date, the excess of one month's interest at the related Adjusted Net Mortgage
Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in
such month over the amount of Liquidation Proceeds applied as interest on such
Mortgage Loan with respect to such month.
(e) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation contained in Section
4.02(a)(vi), if with respect to any Class of Subordinated Certificates on any
Distribution Date the sum of the related Class Subordination Percentages of such
Class and of all Classes of Subordinated Certificates which have a higher
numerical Class designation than such Class (the "Applicable Credit Support
Percentage") is less than the Original Applicable Credit Support Percentage for
such Class, no distribution of Principal Prepayments will be made to any such
Classes (the "Restricted Classes") and the amount of such Principal Prepayments
otherwise distributable to the Restricted Classes shall be distributed to any
Classes of Subordinated Certificates having lower numerical Class designations
than such Class, pro rata, based on their respective Class Principal Balances
immediately prior to such Distribution Date and shall be distributed in the
sequential order provided in Section 4.02(a)(vi).
Section 4.03. (Reserved).
Section 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) On or prior to each Determination Date, the Trustee shall determine the
total amount of Realized Losses, including Excess Losses, with respect to the
related Distribution Date. For purposes of allocating losses to the Subordinated
Certificates, the Class M Certificates will be deemed to have a lower numerical
class designation, and to be of a higher relative payment priority, than each
other Class of Subordinated Certificates.
Realized Losses with respect to any Distribution Date shall be allocated as
follows:
(i) the applicable PO Percentage of any Realized Loss,
including any Excess Loss, shall be allocated to the Class PO
Certificates until the Class Principal Balance thereof is reduced to
zero; and
(ii) (1) the applicable Non-PO Percentage of any Realized Loss
(other than an Excess Loss) shall be allocated first to the
Subordinated Certificates in reverse order of their respective
numerical Class designations (beginning with the Class of Subordinated
Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class
designation) until the respective Class Principal Balance of each such
Class is reduced to zero, and second to the Senior Certificates (other
than the Notional Amount Certificates and the Class PO Certificates),
pro rata on the basis of their respective Class Principal Balances or,
in the case of each Class of Accrual Certificates, on the basis of the
lesser of their Class Principal Balance and their initial Class
Principal Balance, in each case immediately prior to the related
Distribution Date until the respective Class Principal Balance of each
such Class has been reduced to zero; and
(2) the applicable Non-PO Percentage of any Excess Losses
shall be allocated to the Senior Certificates (other than the Notional
Amount Certificates and the Class PO Certificates) and the Subordinated
Certificates then outstanding, pro rata, on the basis of their
respective Class Principal Balances or, in the case of each Class of
Accrual Certificates, on the basis of the lesser of their respective
Class Principal Balances and their respective initial Class Principal
Balances, in each case immediately prior to the related Distribution
Date.
(b) The Class Principal Balance of the Class of Subordinated Certificates
then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation shall be reduced
on each Distribution Date by the sum of (i) the amount of any payments on the
Class PO Certificates in respect of Class PO Deferred Amounts and (ii) the
amount, if any, by which the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of all
outstanding Classes of Certificates (after giving effect to the distribution of
principal and the allocation of Realized Losses and payments of the Class PO
Deferred Amounts on such Distribution Date) exceeds the Pool Principal Balance
for the following Distribution Date.
(c) Any Realized Loss allocated to a Class of Certificates or any reduction
in the Class Principal Balance of a Class of Certificates pursuant to Section
4.04(a) above shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in
proportion to their respective Certificate Principal Balances.
(d) Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or to any Component
or any reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of a Certificate, pursuant
to Section 4.04(a) above shall be accomplished by reducing the Certificate
Principal Balance or Component Balance thereof, as applicable, immediately
following the distributions made on the related Distribution Date in accordance
with the definition of "Certificate Principal Balance" or "Component Balance,"
as the case may be.
Section 4.05. (Reserved).
Section 4.06. Monthly Statements to Certificateholders.
(a) Not later than each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall prepare and
cause to be forwarded by first class mail to each Certificateholder, the
Servicer and the Depositor a statement setting forth the following information
with respect to the related distribution (in the case of information furnished
pursuant to (i), (ii) and (vii) below, the amounts shall be expressed as a
dollar amount per minimum denomination Certificate, such minimum denominations
being as set forth in the Preliminary Statement):
(i) the amount thereof allocable to principal, separately identifying
the aggregate amount of any Principal Prepayments and Liquidation Proceeds
included therein;
(ii) the amount thereof allocable to interest, any Class Unpaid
Interest Shortfall included in such distribution and any remaining Class
Unpaid Interest Shortfall after giving effect to such distribution;
(iii) if the distribution to the Holders of such Class of Certificates
is less than the full amount that would be distributable to such Holders if
there were sufficient funds available therefor, the amount of the shortfall
and the allocation thereof as between principal and interest;
(iv) the Certificate Principal Balance as a dollar amount per minimum
denomination Certificate and the Class Principal Balance of each Class of
Certificates, after giving effect to the distribution of principal on such
Distribution Date;
(v) the Pool Principal Balance on such Distribution Date, the Pool
Principal Balance minus the principal portion of all monthly payments due
but unpaid as of the Date of Determination on such Distribution Date and
the Pool Principal Balance for the following Distribution Date;
(vi) the Senior Percentage and Subordinated Percentage for the
following Distribution Date;
(vii) the amount of the Trustee Fees and Servicing Fees paid to or
retained by the Trustee or Servicer, as applicable, with respect to such
Distribution Date;
(viii) the Pass-Through Rate for each such Class of Certificates with
respect to such Distribution Date;
(ix) the amount of Advances included in the distribution on such
Distribution Date and the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding as of
the close of business on such Distribution Date;
(x) the number and aggregate principal amounts of Mortgage Loans (A)

during the preceding calendar month, the loan number and Stated Principal
Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the close of business on the
Determination Date preceding such Distribution Date and the date of
acquisition thereof;
(xii) the total number and principal balance of any REO Properties
(and market value, if available) as of the close of business on the
Determination Date preceding such Distribution Date;
(xiii) the Senior Prepayment Percentage for the following Distribution
Date;
(xiv) the aggregate amount of Realized Losses incurred during the
preceding calendar month;
(xv) the Special Hazard Loss Coverage Amount, the Fraud Loss Coverage
Amount and the Bankruptcy Loss Coverage Amount, in each case as of the
related Determination Date and the Subordinated Percentage as of such
Distribution Date; and
(b) The Trustee's responsibility for disbursing the above information to
the Certificateholders is limited to the availability, timeliness and accuracy
of the information provided by the Servicer. The Trustee will send a copy of
each statement provided pursuant to this Section 4.06 to each Rating Agency.
(c) On or before the fifth Business Day following the end of each
Prepayment Period (but in no event later than the fifth Business Day prior to
the related Distribution Date), the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee (which
delivery may be by electronic data transmission) a report in substantially the
form set forth as Schedule IV hereto.
(d) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year,
the Trustee shall cause to be furnished to each Person who at any time during
the calendar year was a Certificateholder, a statement containing the
information set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) and (a)(vii) of this Section
4.06 aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during
which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall
be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable
information shall be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the
Code as from time to time in effect.
Section 4.07. Determination of Pass-Through Rates for COFI Certificates.
The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of COFI Certificates for each Interest
Accrual Period after the initial Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by
the Trustee as provided below on the basis of the Index and the applicable
formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the COFI Certificates in the
table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement.
Except as provided below, with respect to each Interest Accrual Period
following the initial Interest Accrual Period, the Trustee shall not later than
two Business Days following the publication of the applicable Index determine
the Pass-Through Rate at which interest shall accrue in respect of the COFI
Certificates during the related Interest Accrual Period.
Except as provided below, the Index to be used in determining the
respective Pass-Through Rates for the COFI Certificates for a particular
Interest Accrual Period shall be COFI for the second calendar month preceding
such Interest Accrual Period. If at the Outside Reference Date for any Interest
Accrual Period, COFI for the second calendar month preceding such Interest
Accrual Period has not been published, the Trustee shall use COFI for the third
calendar month preceding such Interest Accrual Period. If COFI for neither the
second nor third calendar months preceding any Interest Accrual Period has been
published on or before the related Outside Reference Date, the Index for such
Interest Accrual Period and for all subsequent Interest Accrual Periods shall be
the National Cost of Funds Index for the third calendar month preceding such
Interest Accrual Period (or the fourth preceding calendar month if such National
Cost of Funds Index for the third preceding calendar month has not been
published by such Outside Reference Date). In the event that the National Cost
of Funds Index for neither the third nor fourth calendar months preceding an
Interest Accrual Period has been published on or before the related Outside
Reference Date, then for such Interest Accrual Period and for each succeeding
Interest Accrual Period, the Index shall be LIBOR, determined in the manner set
forth below.
On each Interest Determination Date so long as the COFI Certificates are
outstanding and the applicable Index therefor is LIBOR, the Trustee shall either
(i) request each Reference Bank to inform the Trustee of the quotation offered
by its principal London office for making one-month United States dollar
deposits in leading banks in the London interbank market, as of 11:00 a.m.
(London time) on such Interest Determination Date or (ii) in lieu of making any
such request, rely on such Reference Bank quotations that appear at such time on
the Reuters Screen LIBO Page (as defined in the International Swap Dealers
Association Inc. Code of Standard Wording, Assumptions and Provisions for Swaps,
1986 Edition), to the extent available.
With respect to any Interest Accrual Period for which the applicable Index
is LIBOR, LIBOR for such Interest Accrual Period will be established by the
Trustee on the related Interest Determination Date as follows:
(a) If on any Interest Determination Date two or more
Reference Banks provide such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next
Interest Accrual Period shall be the arithmetic mean of such offered
quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean upwards if necessary to the
nearest whole multiple of 1/32%).
(b) If on any Interest Determination Date only one or none of
the Reference Banks provides such offered quotations, LIBOR for the
next Interest Accrual Period shall be whichever is the higher of (i)
LIBOR as determined on the previous Interest Determination Date or (ii)
the Reserve Interest Rate. The "Reserve Interest Rate" shall be the
rate per annum which the Trustee determines to be either (i) the
arithmetic mean (rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole
multiple of 1/32%) of the one-month United States dollar lending rates
that New York City banks selected by the Trustee are quoting, on the
relevant Interest Determination Date, to the principal London offices
of at least two of the Reference Banks to which such quotations are, in
the opinion of the Trustee, being so made, or (ii) in the event that
the Trustee can determine no such arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month
United States dollar lending rate which New York City banks selected by
the Trustee are quoting on such Interest Determination Date to leading
European banks.
From such time as the applicable Index becomes LIBOR until all of the COFI
Certificates are paid in full, the Trustee will at all times retain at least
four Reference Banks for the purposes of determining LIBOR with respect to each
Interest Determination Date. The Servicer initially shall designate the
Reference Banks. Each "Reference Bank" shall be a leading bank engaged in
transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurocurrency market,
shall not control, be controlled by, or be under common control with, the
Trustee and shall have an established place of business in London. If any such
Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable to act as such or if the Servicer
should terminate its appointment as Reference Bank, the Trustee shall promptly
appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference Bank. The Trustee shall have
no liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any
Reference Bank for purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain
at least four Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its
reasonable control.
In determining LIBOR and any Pass-Through Rate for the COFI Certificates or
any Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be
protected in relying upon the offered quotations (whether written, oral or on
the Reuters Screen) from the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to
LIBOR or the Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in effect from time to time.
The Trustee shall not have any liability or responsibility to any Person for (i)
the Trustee's selection of New York City banks for purposes of determining any
Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its inability, following a good-faith reasonable
effort, to obtain such quotations from the Reference Banks or the New York City
banks or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this Section
4.07.
The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the COFI
Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final,
conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.
Section 4.08. LIBOR Determination.
The Trustee shall determine LIBOR for each Distribution Date in accordance
with the definition of "LIBOR" in Article I hereof.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01. The Certificates.
The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as
exhibits. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the minimum
denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one Certificate
in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in excess of the
applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per Class set forth
in the Preliminary Statement.
Subject to Section 9.02 hereof respecting the final distribution on the
Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to
each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such holder at a bank
or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder has
so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the
related Record Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) a Notional Amount
Certificate, (B) 100% of the Class Principal Balance of any Class of
Certificates or (C) Certificates of any Class with aggregate principal
Denominations of not less than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed by first class
mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the
Certificate Register.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. 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 countersignature and delivery of such Certificates
or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate
shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any
purpose, unless countersigned by the Trustee by manual signature, 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 shall be dated the date of their countersignature. On the
Closing Date, the Trustee shall countersign the Certificates to be issued at the
direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.
The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee on a
continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate transfers.
Section 5.02. Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange
of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.06 hereof, a Certificate Register for the Trust
Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and 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. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing
the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are
so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate, 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 of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but 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 may be required.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall
be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the
Trustee's customary procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer
is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration
requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. In the event that a
transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and
such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws,
the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee in
writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set forth
in Exhibit I (the "Transferor Certificate") and (i) deliver a letter in
substantially the form of either Exhibit J (the "Investment Letter") or Exhibit
K (the "Rule 144A Letter") or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee at
the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be
made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act. The Depositor shall
provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee
designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates
and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to
satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer
of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act
pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and
the Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A
information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the
Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and
other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request
to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor, the Originator and the Servicer against
any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the
Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of
such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee (in the event such Certificate is a Private Certificate, such
requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a representation
letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit J or Exhibit K),
to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or
arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to
Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such plan or
arrangement, nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such
transfer, (ii) if the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that
the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with
funds contained in an "insurance company general account" (as such term is
defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE
95-60")) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered
under PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate
presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to
ERISA, or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or
comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such
plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, or
using such plan's or arrangement's assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to
the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of either the
Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the
purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in the
assets of the Trust Fund being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the
Trustee to any obligation in addition to those expressly under- taken in this
Agreement or to any liability. For purposes of the preceding sentence, with
respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Private Certificate, in
the event the representation letter referred to in the preceding sentence is not
so furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the
Trustee by the transferee's (including an initial acquirer's) acceptance of the
ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary
herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on
behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or to the Code without the
delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as
described above shall be void and of no effect.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited
to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not
permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on such
Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to
such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was
registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its
status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be
registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the
Trustee shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate
unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the
Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been
furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial
owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
H.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer
Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to
Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to
obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is
acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer of
a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual
knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of
this Section 5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest
no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee
shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the
provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted
Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual
Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for
any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact
not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making
any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking
any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of
this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of
the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and either the
Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The Trustee shall be
entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual
Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it
became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a
Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at
and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the
Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last
preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make
available, upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, all
information necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e)
of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee
described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the definition thereof.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this
Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend
on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring
after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Seller, the
Originator or the Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such
restrictions will not cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of
any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person
holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby
consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of
Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the
record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is
not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual
Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a
Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred
to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the
expense of the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all
times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all
times: (i) registration of the Certificates 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 Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and
transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the
Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by 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, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as
representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for
purposes of 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; and
(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.
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.
If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing
that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable
to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor at its option advises the
Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book- entry system through
the Depository or (z) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate
Owners representing at least 51% of the 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 (the "Definitive Certificates") to
Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the
related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions
from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive
Certificates. Neither the Servicer, the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be
liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively
rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Servicer
shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of certificates to
facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. 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; provided that the
Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become liable
to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.
Section 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Servicer 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 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 Class, tenor
and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate
under this Section 5.03, 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)
connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Servicer or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of
such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this
Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Servicer, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.
Section 5.05. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.
If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing
from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate
with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement
or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication which
such Certificateholders propose to transmit, or if the Depositor or Servicer
shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee
shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the
Depositor, the Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients' expense
the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such Trust Fund held by the
Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and
holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by
reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the
Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.
Section 5.06. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an
office or offices or agency or agencies in New York City where Certificates may
be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee initially
designates its Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The Trustee will give
prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in such location
of any such office or agency.
ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICER
Section 6.01. Respective Liabilities of the Depositor and the Servicer.
The Depositor and the Servicer shall each be liable in accordance herewith
only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively imposed upon
and undertaken by them herein.
Section 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Servicer.
The Depositor and the Servicer will each keep in full effect its existence,
rights and franchises as a corporation or limited partnership, as the case may
be, under the laws of the United States or under the laws of one of the states
thereof and will each obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a
foreign corporation or legal entity, as the case may be, in each jurisdiction in
which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its respective duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Depositor or the Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which
the Depositor or the Servicer shall be a party, or any person succeeding to the
business of the Depositor or the Servicer, shall be the successor of the
Depositor or the Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that
the successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall be qualified to sell
mortgage loans to, and to service mortgage loans on behalf of, FNMA or FHLMC.
Section 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Seller, the
Originator, the Servicer and Others.
None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Originator, the Servicer or any of
the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller, the
Originator or the Servicer shall be under any liability to the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the
Seller, the Originator, the Servicer or any such Person against any breach of
representations or warranties made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the
Seller, the Originator, the Servicer or any such Person from any liability which
would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller, the Originator, the
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the
Seller, the Originator or the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of
any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting
any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Seller, the Originator, the
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the
Seller, the Originator or the Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund
and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection
with any audit, controversy or judicial proceeding relating to a governmental
taxing authority or any legal action relating to this Agreement or the
Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense
shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the
Seller, the Originator or the Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear
in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its
respective duties hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any
expense or liability; provided, however, that any of the Depositor, the Seller,
the Originator or the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action
that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the
rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of
such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and
liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Seller, the Originator and
the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection
Account.
Section 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of Servicer.
The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor servicer and receipt by
the Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a resignation and
appointment will not result in a downgrading of the rating of any of the
Certificates, without regard to the guaranty provided by the Policies, or (b)
upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law. Any such determination under clause (b) permitting the
resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective
until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Servicer's
responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.
Section 6.05. Servicer Obligation to Appoint Subservicer.
The Servicer shall either be approved by each Rating Agency as an "approved
servicer" within 30 days of the Closing Date or the Servicer shall contract with
an "approved servicer" to subservice the Mortgage Loans pursuant to a
Subservicing Agreement conforming to the requirements of Section 3.02 hereof.
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
Section 7.01. Events of Default.
"Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the following
events:
(i) any failure by the Servicer to deposit in the Collection
Account or remit to the Trustee any payment required to be made under
the terms of this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied
for five days after the date upon which written notice of such failure
shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor
or to the Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates
having not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the
Certificates; or
(ii) any failure by the Servicer to observe or perform in any
material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part
of the Servicer contained in this Agreement which failure continues
unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written
notice of such failure shall have been given to the Servicer by the
Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Servicer and the Trustee by the
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting
Rights evidenced by the Certificates (or immediately upon such failure
in the case of the covenant in Section 6.05); provided, that the
failure to observe or perform the obligations of the Servicer pursuant
to Section 6.05 hereof shall not be considered an Event of Default
unless (1) any Class of Certificates has been put on a credit watch by
any Rating Agency, (2) any Rating Agency indicates an intention to
downgrade, qualify or withdraw the ratings of any Class of
Certificates, or (3) any Class of Certificates has been subject to a
downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of a rating, in each case, as
the result of the failure of the Servicer to comply with Section 6.05
hereof; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for
the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered
against the Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in
force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(iv) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or
relating to the Servicer or all or substantially all of the property of
the Servicer; or
(v) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
advantage of, or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable
insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its
obligations.
If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) to (vi) of this Section
shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, or at the direction of
the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights
evidenced by the Certificates, the Trustee shall by notice in writing to the
Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder
hereunder. On and after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all
authority and power of the Servicer hereunder, whether with respect to the
Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee. The
Trustee shall thereupon make any Advance which the Servicer failed to make
subject to Section 3.04 hereof. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered
to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, 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 Loans and related documents, or otherwise. Unless
expressly provided in such written notice, no such termination shall affect any
obligation of the Servicer to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII. The
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of
the Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without
limitation, the transfer to the Trustee of all cash amounts which shall at the
time be credited to the Collection Account, or thereafter be received with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Servicer
hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection
of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice
terminating such Servicer's rights and obligations as Servicer hereunder and
received after such notice, that portion thereof to which such Servicer would
have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.08(a)(i) through (viii),and any other
amounts payable to such Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior
to the termination of its activities hereunder.
Section 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent
provided in Section 3.04, be the successor to the Servicer in its capacity as
servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and
applicable law including the obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section
4.01. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds
relating to the Mortgage Loans that the Servicer would have been entitled to
charge to the Collection Account or Distribution Account if the Servicer had
continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has
become the successor to the Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01 hereof, the
Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited
by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof or if it
is otherwise unable to so act, or if it has been requested in writing by Holders
of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by
the Certificates to do so, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the
appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the
Certificates by each Rating Agency as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in
the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities
of the Servicer hereunder. Any successor to the Servicer shall be an institution
which is a FNMA and FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing, which has a
net worth of at least $15,000,000, and which is willing to service the Mortgage
Loans and executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement
accepting such delegation and assignment, which contains an assumption by such
Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and
liabilities of the Servicer (other than liabilities of the Servicer under
Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to termination of the Servicer under Section
7.01), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; and
provided further that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the
Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will
not be qualified or reduced, without regard to the guaranty provided by the
Policies, as a result of such assignment and delegation. Pending appointment of
a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is
prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.04 hereof, act in
such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such
successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall
agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the
Servicing Fee permitted the Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor
shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor
servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to
make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof
or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or
responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Servicer
to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash,
information, documents or records to it.
Any successor to the Servicer as servicer shall give notice to the
Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service
as servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that the Servicer is
required to maintain pursuant to Section 6.05.
Section 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the Servicer,
the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and
to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of each such
Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default
shall have been cured or waived.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision
of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form
required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be
responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate,
statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument.
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) unless an Event of Default the Trustee has actual
knowledge of shall have occurred and be continuing, 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 the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be genuine and to
have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any
matters arising hereunder;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of
the Trustee, unless it shall be finally proven that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not
less than 25% of the Voting Rights of Certificates 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; and
(iv) Subject to Section 7.02, the Trustee shall not be
accountable, shall have no liability and makes no representation as to
any acts or omissions hereunder of the Servicer until such time as the
Trustee may be required to act as Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 and
thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor
Servicer; and
Section 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to
ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any signature of any such party
or parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers
or accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial advisers
or accountants and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered
or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by
it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers
conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(iv) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in
writing so to do by Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than
25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates;
provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the
Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by
it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the
Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded
to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition
to so proceeding.;
(v) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents, accountants or attorneys;
(vi) the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its
own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers
hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not assured to it;
(vii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any
investment of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of
the investment security);
(viii) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an
Event of Default until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
received written notice thereof; and
(ix) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any
of the trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to
institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation
hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against
the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or
thereby.
Section 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the
statements of the Depositor or the Originator, as the case may be, and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document other than with respect
to the Trustee's execution and counter-signature of the Certificates. The
Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or
the Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Servicer in respect of
the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by
the Depositor or the Servicer.
Section 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not the
Trustee.
Section 8.05. Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
The Trustee, as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be
entitled to withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date an
amount equal to the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date. The Trustee and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the
Servicer and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including
reasonable attorney's fees) (i) incurred in connection with any claim or legal
action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the Certificates or (c) in connection
with the performance of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder, other than any
loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder or
incurred by reason of any action of the Trustee taken at the direction of the
Certificateholders and (ii) resulting from any error in any tax or information
return prepared by the Servicer. Such indemnity shall survive the termination of
this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee hereunder. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Servicer covenants and agrees, except as otherwise
agreed upon in writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee's negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct, to pay or reimburse the Trustee, for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in
accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to: (A) the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel not
associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates, (B) the
reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of any accountant, engineer
or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the Trustee, to the extent that
the Trustee must engage such persons to perform acts or services hereunder and
(C) printing and engraving expenses in connection with preparing any Definitive
Certificates. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall not be
entitled to payment or reimbursement for any routine ongoing expenses incurred
by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee, Registrar or
Paying Agent hereunder or for any other expenses.
Section 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association
organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of
America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating which would
not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce their respective then current
ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such security from time to time
as is sufficient to avoid such reduction). If such corporation or association
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07 hereof. The entity serving
as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor
and its affiliates or the Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however, that
such entity cannot be an affiliate of the Servicer other than the Trustee in its
role as successor to the Servicer.
Section 8.07. Resignation and Removal of Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor and the
Servicer and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified
in such notice when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to take
effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.08
meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no successor trustee
meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or resignation, the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after written
request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax
is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or
the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the
appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor or the Servicer may
remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee, one
copy of which shall be delivered to the Servicer and one copy to the successor
trustee.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights
may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their
attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall
be delivered by the successor Trustee to the Servicer, one complete set to the
Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. Notice of
any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating Agency by the Successor
Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in
Section 8.08 hereof.
Section 8.08. Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 hereof shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee
and the Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become
effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor trustee
shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may
reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in
the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and its appointment shall
not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such
notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee,
the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Depositor.
Section 8.09. 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 that such corporation shall be eligible under
the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof without the execution or filing of any
paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, 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 any Mortgage Note may at the time be
located, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and
shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons
approved by the Trustee 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 and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part
thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Servicer
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it
of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such
appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no
notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this
Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee
under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Servicer, shall
be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee
and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood
that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act
separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the
extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as
successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent
or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights,
powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the
applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction)
shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or
co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such
appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such
separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;
(iii) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; and
(iv) The Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for
the payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and
indemnification to any such separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed
to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and 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 VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of 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 and a copy thereof given to the
Servicer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee
its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
Section 8.11. Tax Matters.
It is intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election is
to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and
that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify
such assets as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the
Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Trustee is
hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of any such REMIC and that in such
capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a
timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return
(Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and
prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue
Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information
returns for each taxable year with respect to any such REMIC, containing such
information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or
state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be
furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such
times and in such manner as may be required thereby, including without
limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment
Assumption; (b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be
required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the
person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information
relating thereto, together with such additional information as may be required
by such Form, and update such information at the time or times in the manner
required by the Code; (c) make or cause to be made elections that such assets be
treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if
necessary, under applicable state law); (d) provide information necessary for
the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a
Person that is not a Permitted Transferee described in clauses (i)-(iv) of the
definition thereof, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman)
of a non-Permitted Transferee (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing
such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (e) to the
extent that they are under its control, conduct matters relating to such assets
at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status
as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (f) not knowingly or intentionally take
any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the
REMIC status; (g) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this
Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited
transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any such REMIC prior to its
termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation
shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting
any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from
withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of
such proceedings); (h) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or
information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may
be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations
or rules; and (i) maintain records relating to any such REMIC, including but not
limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the fair
market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as
may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing
returns, schedules, statements or information. The Holder of the largest
Percentage Interest of the Class A-R Certificates shall act as "tax matters
person" for the REMIC within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.860F-4(d), and the Trustee is hereby designated as agent of such Class A-R
Certificateholder for such purpose (or if the Trustee is not so permitted, such
Holder shall be the tax matters person in accordance with the REMIC Provisions).
In such capacity, the Trustee shall, as and when necessary and appropriate,
represent the REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an
examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an
administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of the REMIC, enter into
settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of
limitations relating to any tax item of the REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf
of the REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.
In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein,
the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee within ten
(10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee
requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the
valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without
limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of
the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide
to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional
information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request
in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein. The
Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses, liabilities, damages,
claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations of
the Trustee that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to
cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Trustee on a timely
basis.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of the
REMIC as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from
foreclosure property" of the REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on
any contribution to the REMIC after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d)
of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without limitation, any
minimum tax imposed upon the REMIC pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the
California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for
herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises
out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under
this Agreement, (ii) the Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, or if
such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Servicer or Originator of
any of their obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the Originator, if any such
tax arises out of or results from the Originator's obligation to repurchase a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in
the event that the Trustee, the Servicer or the Originator fails to honor its
obligations under the preceding clauses (i),(ii) or (iii), any such tax will be
paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as
provided in Section 3.08(b).
Section 8.12. Periodic Filings.
The Trustee shall file with the Commission, in respect of the Trust Fund
and the Certificates, copies of the information, documents and other reports (or
copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time
to time by rules and regulations prescribe) required to be filed with the
Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (including
Monthly Statements to Certifcateholders issued pursuant to Section 4.06(a) by
means of a Current Report on Form 8-K and an Annual Report on Form 10-K). In
connection with the preparation and filing of such periodic reports, the
Servicer shall timely provide to the Trustee all material information available
to it which is required to be included in such reports and not known to it to be
in the possession of the Trustee and such other information as the Trustee
reasonably may request from the Servicer and otherwise reasonably shall
cooperate with the Trustee.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
Section 9.01. Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of all Mortgage
Loans.
Subject to Section 9.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust
Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase by the Servicer of all
Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) remaining in the Trust Fund at the price
equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage
Loan (other than Mortgage Loans for which the related Mortgaged Property has
become REO Property) plus one month's accrued interest thereon at the applicable
Adjusted Mortgage Rate and (ii) the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO
Property as determined by the higher of two appraisals completed by two
independent appraisers selected by the Servicer at the expense of the Servicer
and (y) the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO
Property plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Adjusted
Mortgage Rate and (b) the later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation (or any
Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust
Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and (ii) the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to
this Agreement. In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the
earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor of the
descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to
the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof and (ii) the Latest Possible
Maturity Date. The right to purchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
pursuant to clause (a) above shall be conditioned upon the Pool Principal
Balance, at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating less than ten percent
of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Section 9.02. Final Distribution on the Certificates.
If on any Determination Date, the Servicer determines that there are no
Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other
than the funds in the Collection Account, the Servicer shall direct the Trustee
promptly to send a final distribution notice to each Certificateholder. If the
Servicer elects to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section
9.01, at least 20 days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the affected
Certificateholders, the Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee of
the date the Servicer intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable
repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution
Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates 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 no
later than the 10th day of the month next preceding the month of such final
distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which
final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and
surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of
such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such
presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made
only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein
specified. The Servicer will give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time
such notice is given to Certificateholders.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall
cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in the order
set forth in Section 4.02 hereof, on the final Distribution Date, in proportion
to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to Certificateholders of
the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class of Regular Certificates,
the Certificate Principal Balance thereof plus (a) accrued interest thereon (or
on their Notional Amount, if applicable) in the case of an interest bearing
Certificate and (b) any Class PO Deferred Amounts in the case of the Class PO
Certificates, and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if any,
which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the amounts
retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (i) above.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender
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
six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps,
or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain a part of
the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class A-R
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of
the Trust Fund which remain subject hereto.
Section 9.03. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event the Servicer exercises its purchase option as provided in
Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the
following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with an
Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Servicer, to the effect that the
failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.03 will not (i) result
in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" on any REMIC as defined
in section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
(i) The notice given by the Servicer under Section 9.02 shall
provide that such notice constitutes the adoption of a plan of complete
liquidation of the REMIC as of the date of such notice (or, if earlier,
the date on which the first such notice is mailed to
Certificateholders). The Trustee shall also specify such date in a
statement attached to the final tax return of the REMIC; and
(ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of
complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date,
the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Estate to the
Seller for cash at the purchase price specified in Section 9.01 and
shall distribute such cash within 90 days of such adoption in the
manner specified in Section 9.01.
ARTICLE X

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any of the Certificateholders
(i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct any defective provision
herein or to supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any
other provision herein, (iii) to add to the duties of the Depositor, the Seller,
the Originator or the Servicer, (iv) to add any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising hereunder or (v) to modify, alter, amend, add to or

that any action pursuant to clauses (iv) or (v) above shall not, as evidenced by
an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trustee or the Trust Fund), adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder; provided, however, that the amendment shall
not be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Certificate holders if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from
each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the
downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the
Certificates; it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and of
itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such
amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues
affecting any such rating. The Trustee, the Depositor and the Servicer also may
at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement without the consent of
the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to
such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the qualification
of any REMIC as a REMIC under the Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the
imposition of any tax on any REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at
any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with
any other requirements of the Code, provided that the Trustee has been provided
an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting
such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust
Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable,
(i) maintain such qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the
imposition of such a tax or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a Majority in
Interest of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to
be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in (i),
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing, as
to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 66% or (iii) reduce the
aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are required to
consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all such
Certificates 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, which opinion shall not be an expense of the
Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment will not cause the
imposition of any tax on any REMIC or the Certificateholders or cause any REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring
the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each
Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this
Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall
be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of
obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as
the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an
amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an
expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, satisfactory to the Trustee that (i)
such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all
requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and (ii)
either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the
immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this
Section 10.01.

Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein
provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously

SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO
BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

Section 10.04. Intention of Parties.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the
Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, an absolute
sale thereof to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the parties
that such conveyance be deemed a pledge thereof by the Depositor to the Trustee.

assets are held to be the property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason

meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the
conveyance provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment
and a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the assets that constitute
the Trust Fund, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.
The Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders 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
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
throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for filing any
Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security
interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholder.

Section 10.06. 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as
provided in Section 6.02, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Servicer
without the prior written consent of the Trustee and Depositor.
Section 10.08. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate this Agreement or the trust created hereby, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or
winding up of the trust created hereby, or otherwise affect the rights,
obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided
herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the
Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein
set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so as to
constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an
association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third
party 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 itself
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 an Event
of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and unless the
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights
evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to the
Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee
hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it
may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein
or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any
such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or
themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek
to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any
right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the
common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of
the provisions of this Section 10.08, each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.
Section 10.09. Inspection and Audit Rights.
The Servicer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit and
will cause each Subservicer to permit any representative of the Depositor or the
Trustee during the Servicer's normal business hours, to examine all the books of
account, records, reports and other papers of the Servicer relating to the
Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be
audited by independent certified public accountants selected by the Depositor or
the Trustee and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts relating to the
Mortgage Loans with its officers, employees and independent public accountants
(and by this provision the Servicer hereby authorizes said accountants to
discuss with such representative such affairs, finances and accounts), all at
such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Any
out-of-pocket expense incident to the exercise by the Depositor or the Trustee
of any right under this Section 10.09 shall be borne by the party requesting
such inspection; all other such expenses shall be borne by the Servicer or the
related Subservicer.
Section 10.10. Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid.
It is the intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall not be
personally liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests in the
Trust Fund represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any reason
whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by the
Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed fully paid.

SCHEDULE III
PaineWebber Mortgage Acceptance Corporation IV
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
Series 1998-1
Representations and Warranties as to the Mortgage Loans
Provident Funding Associates, L.P. (the "Originator") hereby makes the
representations and warranties set forth in this Schedule III to the Depositor
and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified herein, as of the
Cut-off Date. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Schedule
III shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement") relating to the
above-referenced Series, among the Originator, as Originator and as servicer,
PaineWebber Mortgage Acceptance Corporation IV, as depositor, and The Chase
Manhattan Bank, as trustee
(i) The information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is
complete, true and correct;
(ii) The Mortgage Loan is in compliance with all requirements set forth in
the related Confirmation (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement),
and the characteristics of the related Mortgage Loan Package (as defined in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) as set forth in the related Confirmation are
true and correct;
(iii) All payments required to be made up to the close of business on the
Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have
been made; the Originator has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or
knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the
related Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any
amount required by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; and there has been no
delinquency, exclusive of any period of grace, in any payment by the Mortgagor
thereunder during the last twelve months;
(iv) There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer
rents, assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including
assessments payable in future installments or other outstanding charges
affecting the related Mortgaged Property;
(v) The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired,
waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments,
recorded in the applicable public recording office if necessary to maintain the
lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have been delivered to the Trustee; the
substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by
the insurer under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any, the title insurer, to
the extent required by the related policy, and is reflected on the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule. No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has
been executed, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except
in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the
Primary Insurance Policy, if any, the title insurer, to the extent required by
the policy, and which assumption agreement has been delivered to the Trustee and
the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(vi) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury,
nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage
unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury and no such
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with
respect thereto;
(vii) All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally
acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such
other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is
located, pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of the
Servicing Addendum. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee
clause naming the Originator, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all
premiums thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area
identified on a Flood Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such
flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration
is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of FNMA and FHLMC. The
Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at
the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor's
cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;
(viii) Any and all requirements of any federal, state or local law
including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement
procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure
laws applicable to the origination and servicing of Mortgage Loan have been
complied with;
(ix) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or
rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released
from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been
executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination,
rescission or release;
(x) The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first lien on the
Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property subject
only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due
and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording
being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically
referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator
of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of
the Mortgaged Property, and (c) other matters to which like properties are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the
Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable first
lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and
the Originator has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser. The
Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan,
subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secured debt or other security
instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage;
(xi) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in
accordance with its terms;
(xii) All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity
to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and
the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly
executed by such parties;
(xiii) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or
for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to
advance additional funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to
completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any
escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses
incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the
Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any
amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(xiv) As of the date of the Sale of the Mortgage Loan to PWRES, the
Originator is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage
Note and the Mortgage and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan
to the PWRES free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge,
claim or security interest;
(xv) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether
as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in
which they held and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and
all applicable "doing business" and licensing requirements of the laws of the
state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located;
(xvi) The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance
policy (which, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan has an adjustable
rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1) acceptable to FNMA or
FHLMC, issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC and qualified to
do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located,
insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (x)(a) and (b) above) the
Originator, its successors and assigns as to the first priority lien of the
Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. Additionally,
such lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to
and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the
Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Originator is the sole insured
of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance
policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have
been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the
related Mortgage, including the Originator, has done, by act or omission,
anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance
policy;
(xvii) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the
passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period,
would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and the
Originator has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration;
(xviii) There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been
filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law
could give rise to such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are
or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related
Mortgage;
(xix) All improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised
Value of the related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and
building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on
adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property;
(xx) The Mortgage Loan was originated by the Originator or by a savings and
loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank or similar banking
institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or
by a mortgagee approved as such by the Secretary of HUD.
(xxi) Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty
days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan
bears interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage
Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in Monthly
Payments, which, in the case of a Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans, are sufficient to
fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof and
to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and, in the case of an
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, are changed on each Adjustment Date, and in any
case, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the
original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate.
The Index for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan is as defined in the related
Confirmation. The Mortgage Note does not permit negative amortization. No
Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage Loan;
(xxii) The origination and collection practices used by the Originator with
respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all respects legal,
proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage origination and servicing
industry. The Mortgage Loan has been serviced by the Originator and any
predecessor servicer in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note. With
respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in
the possession of, or under the control of, the Originator and there exist no
deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for
repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or
other charges or payments due the Originator have been capitalized under any
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note;
(xxiii) The Mortgaged Property is free of damage and waste and there is no
proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation thereof;
(xxiv) The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder
thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a
Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (b) otherwise by
judicial foreclosure. The Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any
bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed
for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other
exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to
sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the
Mortgage. The Mortgagor has not notified the Originator and the Originator has
no knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the
Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act of 1940;
(xxv) the Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the
underwriting standards of the Originator in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan
was originated; and the Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to
FNMA and FHLMC;
(xxvi) The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral
except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property and the
security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage
referred to in (ix) above;
(xxvii) The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged
Property made and signed, prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan
application, by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the Originator, who had
no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on
the security thereof, whose compensation is not affected by the approval or
disapproval of the Mortgage Loan and who met the minimum qualifications of FNMA
and FHLMC. Each appraisal of the Mortgage Loan was made in accordance with the
relevant provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and
Enforcement Act of 1989;
(xxviii) In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee,
duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly
designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or
expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the
deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the
Mortgagor;
(xxix) No Mortgage Loan contains provisions pursuant to which Monthly
Payments are (a) paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate
account established by the Originator, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the
Mortgagor, (b) paid by any source other than the Mortgagor or (c) contains any
other similar provisions which may constitute a "buydown" provision. The
Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan
does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature;
(xxx) The Mortgagor has executed a statement to the effect that the
Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by applicable law with
respect to the making of fixed rate mortgage loans in the case of Fixed Rate
Mortgage Loans, and adjustable rate mortgage loans in the case of Adjustable
Rate Mortgage Loans and rescission materials with respect to Refinanced Mortgage
Loans, and such statement is and will remain in the Mortgage File;
(xxxi) No Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (a) the construction or
rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or (b) facilitating the trade-in or
exchange of a Mortgaged Property;
(xxxii) The Originator has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition
with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the
Mortgagor's credit standing that can reasonably be expected to cause the
Mortgage Loan to be an unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to
become delinquent, or adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loan;
(xxxiii) Each Mortgage Loan with an LTV at origination in excess of 80% is
and will be subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, issued by a

75% of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property. All provisions of such
Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is
in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any
Mortgage subject to any such Primary Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in
connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan does not
include any such insurance premium;
(xxxiv) Each Mortgage Loan constitutes a "qualified mortgage" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but without regard to the rule in
Treasury Regulations 1.860 G-2(f)(2) that treats a defective obligation as a
qualified mortgage, or any substantially similar successor provision);
(xxxv) The Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law;
all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with

similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part
of any person, including without limitation the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any

Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such
Mortgage Loan;
(xxxviii) The Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is
acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Property is located;
(xxxviiii) Any principal advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the
Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount
secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated,
bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage
securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first
lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring
the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to
FNMA and FHLMC. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;
(xxxix) No Mortgage Loan has a balloon payment feature; and
(xl) If the Residential Dwelling on the Mortgaged Property is a condominium
unit or a unit in a planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned
unit development) such condominium or planned unit development project meets the
eligibility requirements of FNMA and FHLMC.

[No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under said Act and such laws. In the event that a
transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and
such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws,
the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee in
writing the facts surrounding the transfer. In the event that such a transfer is
to be made within three years from the date of the initial issuance of
Certificates pursuant hereto, there shall also be delivered (except in the case
of a transfer pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act) to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from
the Securities Act and such state securities laws, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee, the Servicer, or the
Depositor. The Holder hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability
that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.]
No transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless the Trustee
shall have received either (i) a representation (letter) from the transferee of
such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting
on behalf of any such plan, which representation letter shall not be an expense
of the Trustee or the Servicer, (ii) if the purchaser is an insurance company, a
representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing
such Certificates with funds contained in an "insurance company general account"
(as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95- 60")) and that the purchase and holding of such
Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or (iii) in the
case of any such Certificate presented for registration in the name of an
employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or
comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such
plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan, an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the Servicer to the effect that the
purchase or holding of such Certificate will not result in the assets of the
Trust Fund being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited
transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Trustee to
any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement, which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Servicer. (Such
representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the
Transferee's acceptance of a Certificate of this Class and by a beneficial
owner's acceptance of its interest in a Certificate of this Class.)
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of
a Certificate of this Class to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject
to ERISA or to the Code without the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set

payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders
for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as
expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference
is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights,
benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Trustee.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the
25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date
in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this

Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of
any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the Office of the Trustee or the office or agency maintained by the
Trustee in New York, New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed
by the holder hereof or such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust
Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Servicer, and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor
or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee,
nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the Pool Principal Balance is less than
10% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans, the
Servicer will have the option to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all
remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of the Mortgage
Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event
that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities
created by the Agreement will terminate upon the later of the maturity or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property in respect
thereof and the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be
distributed pursuant to the Agreement. In no event, however, will the trust
created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the
death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the
Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement.
Any term used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the
meaning assigned in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed
inconsistent with that meaning.

Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
Series 1998-1
STATE OF )
) ss.:
COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of _______, the proposed Transferee of an
Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate (the "Certificate") issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (the "Agreement"), relating to
the above-referenced Series, by and among PaineWebber Mortgage Acceptance
Corporation IV, as depositor (the "Depositor"), Provident Funding Associates,
L.P., as originator and servicer, and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee.
Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has
authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee.
2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of
the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership
Interest in the Certificate either (i) for its own account or (ii) as nominee,
trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an affidavit from
such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Transferee has
no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will
be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted
Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such
Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for
a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person
otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the
subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent
Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person
does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false.
4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be
imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any time during
the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee
understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to
which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that
such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does
not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false; provided, that a
pass-through entity which is an "electing large partnership" under the Code will
be subject to tax in all events. (For this purpose, a "pass-through entity"
includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or
common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and,
except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in
pass-through entities as a nominee for another Person.) The Transferee further
understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to the holding of the
Certificate in excess of cash flows generated thereby.
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the
Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference)
and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership
Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on
subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and
mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by
the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on
the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any
breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the Transfer
to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to
whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth as Exhibit I to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate") to the
effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the
Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
Certificate. The Transferee historically has paid its debts as they have become
due and intends to do so in the future.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is __________.
9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section 7701(a)(30).
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a "noneconomic
residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the
income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer
was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
11. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to ERISA
or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not
acting on behalf of such a plan.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be
executed on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its
duly authorized officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly

"Ownership Interest": As to any Certificate, any ownership interest in such
Certificate, including any interest in such Certificate as the Holder thereof
and any other interest therein, whether direct or indirect, legal or beneficial.
"Permitted Transferee": Any person other than (i) the United States, any
State or political subdivision thereof, or any agency or instrumentality of any
of the foregoing, (ii) a foreign government, International Organization or any
agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, (iii) an organization
(except certain farmers' cooperatives described in section 521 of the Code)
which is exempt from tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax
imposed by section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income) on any
excess inclusions (as defined in section 860E(c)(l) of the Code) with respect to
any Residual Certificate, (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives
described in section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, (v) a Person that is not a
citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership (except as
provided in applicable Treasury Regulations), or other entity created or
organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision
thereof, an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax
purposes regardless of its source or a trust if a court within the United States
is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and
one or more persons described in this clause (v) have the authority to control
all substantial decisions of the trust (or, to the extent provided in applicable
Treasury Regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 which are
eligible to elect to be treated as United States persons) unless such Person has
furnished the transferor and the Trustee with a duly completed Internal Revenue
Service Form 4224 or any applicable successor form, and (vi) any other Person so

Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class

Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class A-R
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class A-R
Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the
Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(ii)No Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate may be registered on
the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register
the Transfer of any Class A-R Certificate unless, in addition to the
certificates required to be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b)
above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer
Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit H.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class

Interest in a Class A- R Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership

(iv)Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a
Class A-R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c)
shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported

last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder
thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Class A-R
Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of Transfer of a Class A-R Certificate that is in fact not
permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments
due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the
Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit,
Transferor Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter.
The Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a
Class A-R Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it
became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted
Transferee, all payments made on such Class A-R Certificate at and after either
such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and
delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such
Certificate.
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon
receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to
compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate to any Holder who
is not a Permitted Transferee described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the
definition thereof.
