ARTICLE V
---------
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
----------------------------------------------
Section 5.1 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clause; Assumption
----------- ---------------------------------------------
The Servicer is required to enforce any due-on-sale clause in the Note or
Security Instrument to the extent permitted by applicable law upon the transfer
of title to the Mortgaged Property unless (i) the Mortgage Loan Documents,
including riders or addenda permit such a transfer or (ii) enforcement of the
due-on-sale clause will jeopardize the Mortgage Insurance coverage, if any, on
such Mortgage Loan. In all circumstances of unapproved transfer initiated by
the Borrower, the Servicer is required to promptly notify the Mortgage Insurer,
if any, of such transfer, and obtain written approval from the Mortgage Insurer
(if required under the applicable Mortgage Insurance Policy) before initiating
enforcement proceedings.
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, Owner authorizes Servicer, to
waive in the sole discretion of Servicer, the enforcement of a due-on-sale
clause on any Mortgage Loan and permit the assumption of such Mortgage Loan,
subject to the following conditions:
(a) No material term of the Note, including, but not limited to, the rate
of interest on the Note and the remaining term to maturity, may be changed in
connection with such assumption, provided however, such limitation shall not
apply to interest rate, payment or amortization changes otherwise provided for
under the terms of the Note, such as in the case of an adjustable rate mortgage;
(b) The Servicer has performed a credit review of the new borrower and
determined that the new borrower is a prudent credit risk in the sole opinion of
the Servicer. The credit review shall include prior mortgage payment history
and delinquency review. Owner hereby authorizes Servicer to apply more liberal
credit standards and underwriting in connection with a request for an assumption
of a Mortgage Loan than Servicer would apply for comparable new loans which
Servicer is then originating for its own account, if Servicer in its sole
discretion,
18
reasonably believes there is a risk of foreclosure on the Mortgage Loan in the
event the assumption is denied;
(c) The Mortgage Insurer has approved in writing the assumption of the
Mortgage Loan by the new borrower and such Mortgage Loan will continue to be
insured by such Mortgage Insurer;
(d) The new borrower executes documents assuming all the obligations of the
Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Documents;
(e) The Mortgage Loan will continue to be secured, and insured with a Title
Insurance Policy, if any, by a valid security interest upon the Mortgaged
Property of the same lien priority as existed immediately prior to such
assumption; provided however, if Servicer has not been delivered a Title
Insurance Policy on the Transfer Date for any such Mortgage Loan, Servicer shall
have no obligation to inquire into or obtain any title insurance in connection
with any assumption of such a Mortgage Loan; and
(f) The Servicer has determined that the estimated net realizable value of
the Mortgaged Property, in the sole judgment of the Servicer, is less than the
then unpaid principal balance of the related Note, plus accrued interest to the
estimated date of the closing of the sale of Mortgaged Property to the new
borrower.
(g) The Servicer shall provide the Owner the original assumption agreement
following execution thereof.
Subject to the terms of the Note and Security Instrument, and applicable
law or regulation, the Servicer may charge a reasonable and customary assumption
fee, and the Servicer may retain such fee as Additional Servicing Compensation.
Section 5.2 Maintenance of Insurance
----------- ------------------------
(a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect to each Mortgage
Loan a Hazard Insurance Policy with a generally acceptable carrier rated A:VI or
better in the current Best's Key Rating Guide ("Best's") that provides for fire
and extended coverage, and for a recovery of any insurance proceeds relating to
such Mortgage Loan by the Servicer on behalf of the Owner in an amount which is
at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the
improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the sum of the outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and the outstanding principal balance of
the First Lien;
(b) If the Mortgage Loan relates to a Mortgaged Property identified at
origination in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
as having a special flood hazard, the Servicer will cause to be maintained with
respect thereto a Flood Insurance Policy with a generally acceptable carrier
rated A:VI or better in the current Best's Key Rating Guide
19
("Best's") which provides for a recovery of any insurance proceeds relating to
such Mortgage Loan by the Servicer on behalf of the Owner and in an amount
representing coverage equal to the lesser of (i) the minimum amount required,
under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage or loss on a
replacement cost basis (or the unpaid balance of the mortgage if replacement
cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured) and (ii) the
maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended;
(c) With respect to each Mortgage Loan that provides for the collection of
escrow funds for the payment of fire and hazard insurance or flood insurance,
the Servicer shall effect the payment thereof prior to the applicable policy
termination date employing for such purpose deposits in the Escrow Account which
shall have been estimated and accumulated by the Servicer in the amounts
sufficient for such purposes. To the extent a Mortgage Loan does not provide
for escrow payments and the Borrower fails to maintain any required insurance
coverage, the Servicer shall by a Servicing Advance make the payment required to
effect the applicable in-force policy for the related Mortgaged Property;
(d) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs, the Servicer at its option
may obtain and maintain, with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgage
Loans a blanket insurance policy with extended coverage insuring against fire,
hazard and flood, as applicable. The Servicer shall be deemed conclusively to
have satisfied its obligations with respect to Hazard Insurance and Flood
Insurance coverage under this Section if such blanket policy names the Servicer
as "Loss Payee" and provides coverage in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid
principal balance of the Mortgage Loans without coinsurance.
Section 5.3 Cancellation of Mortgage Insurance
----------- ----------------------------------
If a Borrower requests cancellation of the Mortgage Insurance Policy, the
Servicer shall ensure that the FNMA guidelines governing cancellation are
followed in connection with any cancellation.

as by a deed in lieu of foreclosure) for any Mortgage Loan which is in default
and as to which no satisfactory arrangements, in the sole reasonable opinion of
Servicer, can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In connection with
such foreclosure or other transfer of title, the Servicer shall exercise the
rights and powers vested in it hereunder, and use the same degree of care and
skill in such exercise or use, as prudent servicers would exercise or use under
similar circumstances in the conduct of their own affairs, including, but not
limited to, making Servicing
20
Advances for the payment of taxes, amounts due with respect" to senior liens,
and insurance premiums.
Prior to commencing foreclosure proceedings, the Servicer shall notify the
Owner and the mortgagee under the First Lien in writing of the Servicer's
intention to do so, and the Servicer shall not commence foreclosure proceedings
if the Owner objects to such action within three (3) Business Days of receiving
such notice.
(b) In determining whether or not to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably
transfer title to such Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall take into account
the existence of any condition upon or impacting the Mortgaged Property in the
nature of hazardous substances, hazardous wastes, infectious waste, toxic
substance, solid wastes and so forth, as such terms now or in the future are
defined or listed in, or otherwise classified pursuant to, or regulated by, any
applicable environmental laws, including but not limited to all present and
future federal, state or local laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, decisions
and other requirements of governmental authorities relating to the environment
or to any hazardous substance.
Section 5.6 Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure
----------- ---------------------------
If the Owner and, if applicable, the Mortgage Insurer have approved the
liquidation of a Mortgage Loan by accepting a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the
Servicer may accept such deed provided that:
(a) Marketable title, as evidenced by a Title Insurance Policy, can be
conveyed to and acquired by the Owner or its designee;
(b) The transaction complies with all requirements of each Mortgage
Insurer, if any, and does not and will not violate or contravene any restriction
or prohibition of any Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, or otherwise result in
any loss of or reduction in the coverage of benefits under such policies;
(c) No cash consideration is paid to the Borrower;
(d) The Mortgaged Property is vacant at the time of the Borrower's
conveyance thereof unless occupancy has been approved by each Mortgage Insurer,
if any; and
(e) The Servicer has obtained from the Borrower a written acknowledgment
that the deed is being accepted as an accommodation to the Borrower and on the
condition that the Mortgaged Property will be transferred to the Owner that owns
such Mortgage Loan free and clear of all claims, liens, encumbrances,
attachments, reservations or restrictions except for those to which the
Mortgaged Property were subject at the time the Mortgaged Property became
subject to the lien of the Security Instrument.
21
Upon acquisition of any such Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall
promptly advise the Owner and each Mortgage Insurer by letter, indicating the
details of the transaction and reasons for the conveyance and providing such
other information as is required by each Mortgage Insurer. Title shall be
conveyed directly from the Borrower to the Owner, or to such other Person
designated by the Owner.
Section 5.7 Real Estate Owned
----------- -----------------
Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property. In the event that
-------------------------------------------------
title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the
Owner or its designee. The Owner agrees to cooperate with Servicer and take
such actions as shall be necessary for the Servicer to take title to the
Mortgaged Property in the name of the Owner or its designee.
Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing provisions, the Servicer
shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Owner
solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. 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, but shall not be obligated to, incident to its
conservation and protection of the interests of the Owner, rent the same, or any
part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interests of the Owner for
the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Servicer shall attempt
to sell the same on such terms and conditions as the Servicer deems to be in the
best interest of the Owner, provided that the Servicer shall not sell an REO
Property for less than 90% of the Book Value of such REO Property without the
consent of the Owner.
The Servicer shall cause to be deposited within two (2) Business Days of
receipt in the Collection Account all revenues received with respect to the
conservation and disposition of each REO Property and shall be permitted to
retain from such revenues funds necessary for the proper operation, management
and maintenance of the REO Property, including reimbursement for its Servicing
Advances and fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Servicer.

hereunder, the Servicer may take possession of all or a portion of the documents
relating to the Mortgage Loans as may be held by the Owner or the Custodian.
Such documents shall be held in trust by the Servicer for the benefit of the
