This Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated and effective as of
November 1, 1995, among DLJ Mortgage Acceptance Corp., as depositor (the
"Depositor"), Imperial Credit Industries, Inc., as master servicer (the "Master
Servicer"), and Bankers Trust Company, as trustee (the "Trustee").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
The Depositor intends to sell mortgage pass-through certificates
(collectively, the "Certificates"), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes,
which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in
the Mortgage Loans (as defined herein). As provided herein, the Trustee will
cause an election to be made to treat the entire segregated pool of assets
described in the definition of REMIC I (as defined herein) and subject to this
Agreement (including the Mortgage Loans) as a real estate mortgage investment
conduit (a "REMIC") for federal income tax purposes and such segregated pool of
assets will be designated as the "REMIC I". The Uncertificated REMIC I Regular
Interests (as defined herein) will be "regular interests" in REMIC I and the
Class R-I Certificates will represent ownership of the sole class of "residual
interests" in REMIC I, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein)
under federal income tax law. A segregated pool of assets consisting of
Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interests will be designated as "REMIC II", and
the Trustee will make a separate REMIC election with respect thereto. The Senior
Certificates (as defined herein) will represent ownership of the "regular
interests" in REMIC II, and the Class R-II Certificates will represent ownership
of the sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC II.
The following table sets forth the designation, Pass-Through Rate,
aggregate initial Certificate Principal Balance, and the initial percentage for
each Class of Certificates comprising the certificated interests in the Trust
Fund created hereunder.

Solely for purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury
regulations, the Distribution Date immediately following the maturity date for
the Mortgage Loan with the latest maturity date in the Mortgage Pool has been
designated as the "latest possible maturity date" for the Certificates.
-2-
As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans have an aggregate Stated
Principal Balance equal to $98,274,561.
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee agree as follows:

previously made with respect to a Mortgage Loan or REO Property which remained

Bankruptcy Losses or Extraordinary Losses not allocated solely to Net Monthly
Excess Cash Flow or another Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04, and
(iv) any other interest shortfalls not allocated to Net Monthly Excess Cash Flow
or another Class of Certificates, including interest that is not collectible
from the Mortgagor pursuant to the Relief Act or similar legislation or
regulations as in effect from time to time. In addition to that portion of the
reductions described in the preceding sentence that are allocated to any Class
A-3 Certificates, Accrued Certificate Interest

entitled to rely upon a certification of the Depositor or the Master Servicer in

interest in any and all of the Seller's right (including the power to convey
title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in
and to the property described in the foregoing clauses (1)(A) through (D)
granted by the Seller to the Depositor pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement; (c) the possession by the Trustee or its agent of Mortgage Notes and
such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable
documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured
party" or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such secured
party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the New York
Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable
jurisdiction (including, without limitation, Sections 9-305, 8-313 or 8-321
thereof); and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The
Depositor and the Trustee shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement,
take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were
deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the
Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interests, 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.
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of the Trust Fund by the Trustee.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt (subject to any exceptions noted in
the Initial Certification described below), of the documents referred to in
Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in REMIC I and declares that it
holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it
constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will hold such other
assets included in REMIC I (to the extent delivered or assigned to the Trustee),
in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to
review or cause to be reviewed on its behalf, each Mortgage File on or before
the Closing Date to ascertain that all documents required to be delivered to it
are in its possession, and the Trustee agrees to execute and deliver, or cause
to be executed and delivered, to the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and the
Master Servicer on the Closing Date, an Initial Certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit C to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed
in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any
Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such certification as not covered by
such certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant
to this Agreement with respect to such Mortgage Loan are in its possession, (ii)
such documents have been reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and
relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to
the foregoing documents, the information set forth in items (i) - (v) and (ix)
of the definition of the "Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately reflects
information set forth in the Mortgage File. Neither the
-36-
Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall be under any duty to determine whether any
Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in clause (vi) or
(vii) of Section 2.01. Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall be
under any 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, or they are in recordable form or that they are
other than what they purport to be on their face.
Within 90 days of the Closing Date the Trustee shall deliver to the
Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and the Master Servicer a Final Certification
in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit D evidencing the completeness of the
Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and preparing the
certifications referred to above the Trustee finds any document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any
material respect, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller, the Certificate
Insurer, the Master Servicer and the Depositor. The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Seller of such defect and request that the Seller cure any such
defect within 60 days from the date on which the Seller was notified of such
defect, and if the Seller does not cure such defect in all material respects
during such period, request on behalf of the Certificateholders that the Seller
purchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price within 90 days
after the date on which the Seller was notified of such defect. It is understood
and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure a material defect in, or
purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect in a constituent
document exists shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect
available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders
(except for the Certificate Insurer's rights under Section 3.03(b) of the
Insurance Agreement). The Purchase Price for the purchased Mortgage Loan shall
be deposited or caused to be deposited upon receipt by the Master Servicer in
the Custodial Account and, upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification
of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall release or
cause to be released to the Seller the related Mortgage File and shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Seller shall require as necessary to vest in the Seller
ownership of any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and at such time the
Trustee shall have no further responsibility with respect to the related
Mortgage File.
SECTION 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Master
Servicer and the Depositor.
(a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to and
covenants with the Depositor and the Trustee for the benefit of
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer that:

compliance with the laws of each state in which any Mortgaged Property is
located to the extent necessary to perform its obligations under this
Agreement, and the Master Servicer is, and shall remain, approved to sell
mortgage loans to and service mortgage loans for FNMA and FHLMC;
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Master
Servicer, and the performance and compliance with the terms of this

articles of incorporation or bylaws or constitute a default (or an event
which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default)
under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other
instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable to it or any of
its assets;
(iii) The Master Servicer has the full power and authority to enter
into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has
duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement,
and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement;

delivery by the Depositor and the Trustee, constitutes a valid, legal and
binding obligation of the Master Servicer, enforceable against the Master
Servicer in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles
of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law;
(v) The Master Servicer is not in violation of, and its execution and
delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the
terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any
order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand
of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority, which
violation is likely to affect materially and adversely either the ability
of the Master Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or
the financial condition of the Master Servicer;
(vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Master Servicer's
knowledge, threatened against the Master Servicer which would prohibit its
entering into this Agreement or performing its obligations under this
Agreement or is likely to affect materially and adversely either the
ability of the Master Servicer to perform its obligations under this
Agreement or the financial condition of the Master Servicer;
-38-
(vii) The Master Servicer will comply in all material respects in the
performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of
each insurer under each Insurance Policy;
(viii) The execution of this Agreement and the performance of the
Master Servicer's obligations hereunder do not require any license, consent
or approval of any state or federal court, agency, regulatory authority or
other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer, other

(ix) No information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished in
writing or report delivered to the Depositor, any affiliate of the
Depositor or the Trustee by the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master
Servicer, and not in its capacity as a Seller hereunder, will, to the
knowledge of the Master Servicer, contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make the information,
certificate, statement or report not misleading.
It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and
covenants set forth in this Section 2.03(a) shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, and shall inure to the benefit of the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. Upon discovery by
the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Certificate Insurer of a
breach of any of the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants that
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Depositor or the Trustee,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other
parties.
(b) The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Master
Servicer, the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders and the Certificate
Insurer that as of the Closing Date (or, if otherwise specified below, as of the
date so specified):
(i) Assuming that representation (v) of the Seller set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement is true and correct, then immediately
prior to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, the Depositor
had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and
clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest (other than
rights to servicing and related compensation) and such assignment validly
transfers ownership of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee free and clear of
any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest; and
(ii) The representations and warranties of the Seller with respect to
the Mortgage Loans and the remedies therefor that are contained in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement are as set forth in Exhibit I hereto.
-39-
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
this Section 2.03(b) shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to
the Trustee.
Upon discovery by either the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Certificate Insurer of a breach of any representation or warranty
set forth in this Section 2.03 which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering
such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Seller.
The Depositor hereby assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of
Certificateholders its interest in respect of the representations and warranties
made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the exhibits
thereto. Insofar as the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement relates to such
representations and warranties and any remedies provided thereunder for any
breach of such representations and warranties, such right, title and interest
may be enforced by the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. Upon the
discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate
Insurer of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in such
Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties (including the Certificate Insurer). The Trustee
shall promptly notify the Seller of such breach and request that the Seller
shall, within 90 days from the date that the Seller was notified or otherwise
obtained knowledge of such breach, either (i) cure such breach in all material
respects or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price
and in the manner set forth in Section 2.02; provided that in the case of a
breach under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, subject to the approval of
the Depositor the Seller shall have the option to substitute a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for such Mortgage Loan if such substitution
occurs within two years following the Closing Date, except that if the breach
would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined
in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such substitution must occur within 90
days from the date the Seller was notified of the breach if such 90 day period
expires before two years following the Closing Date. In the event that the
Seller elects to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for a
Deleted Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Seller shall deliver to
the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the original Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, an Assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form, and such other
documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note
endorsed as required by Section 2.01. No substitution will be made in any
calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Monthly Payments due
with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution
shall not be part of REMIC I and will be retained by the Master Servicer and
remitted by the Master Servicer to the Seller on the next succeeding
Distribution Date. For the month of
-40-
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Monthly
Payment due on a Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the Seller
shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage
Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate
Insurer to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the
substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the
Depositor shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon
such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be
subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, the Seller shall be
deemed to have made the representations and warranties with respect to the
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan contained in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement as of the date of substitution, and the Depositor shall be deemed to
have made with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of
the date of substitution, the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 2.03 hereof.
In connection with the substitution of one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal
balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of
substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such
Deleted Mortgage Loans (in each case after application of the principal portion
of the Monthly Payments due in the month of substitution that are to be
distributed to Certificateholders in the month of substitution). The Seller
shall provide the Master Servicer on the day of substitution for immediate
deposit into the Custodial Account the amount of such shortfall, without any
reimbursement therefor. The Seller shall give notice in writing to the Trustee
of such event, which notice shall be accompanied by an Officers' Certificate as
to the calculation of such shortfall and by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on
either REMIC I or REMIC II, including without limitation, any federal tax
imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
"contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code or
(b) any portion of REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificate is outstanding. The costs of any substitution as described
above, including any related assignments, opinions or other documentation in
connection therewith shall be borne by the Seller.
Except as expressly set forth herein neither the Trustee nor the
Master Servicer is under any obligation to discover any breach of the above
mentioned representations and warranties. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Seller to cure such breach, purchase or to substitute for such
Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to
Certificateholders (other than the Certificate Insurer) or the Trustee on behalf
of Certificateholders (other than the Certificate Insurer).
-41-
SECTION 2.05. Issuance of Certificates Evidencing Interests in REMIC
I.
The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans
and the delivery of the Mortgage Files to it together with the assignment to it
of all other assets included in the definition of "REMIC I", receipt of which is
xxxxxx acknowledged. Concurrently with such delivery and in exchange therefor,
the Trustee, pursuant to the written request of the Depositor executed by an
officer of the Depositor has executed and caused to be authenticated and
delivered to, or upon the order of, the Depositor the Class R-I Certificates in
authorized denominations which, together with the Uncertificated REMIC I Regular
Interests, evidence ownership of all of REMIC I. The rights of the Class R-I
Certificateholders and REMIC II to receive distributions from the proceeds of
REMIC I in respect of the Class R-I Certificates and the Uncertificated REMIC I
Regular Interests, and all ownership interests of the Class R-I
Certificateholders and REMIC II in such distributions, shall be as set forth in
this Agreement.
SECTION 2.06. Conveyance of Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interests;
Acceptance by the Trustee.
The Depositor, as of the Closing Date, and concurrently with the
execution and delivery hereof, does hereby assign without recourse all the
right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Uncertificated REMIC I
Regular Interests to the Trustee for the benefit of the Class S, Class A-1,
Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class R-II Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges
receipt of the Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interests and declares that it
holds and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Class S, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class R-II
Certificateholders. The rights of the Class S, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3
and Class R-II Certificateholders to receive distributions from the proceeds of
REMIC II in respect of the Class S, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class
R-II Certificates, and all ownership interests of the Class S, Class A-1, Class
A-2, Class A-3 and Class R-II Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be
as set forth in this Agreement.
SECTION 2.07. Issuance of Certificates Evidencing Interest in REMIC
II.
The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Uncertificated
REMIC I Regular Interests and, concurrently therewith and in exchange therefor,
pursuant to the written request of the Depositor executed by an officer of the
Depositor, the Trustee has executed and caused to be authenticated and delivered
to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Class S, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class
A-3 and Class R-II Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing ownership
of all of XXXXX XX.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE TRUST FUND
SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with this Agreement and the customary and usual standards of practice
of prudent mortgage lenders in the respective states in which the Mortgaged
Properties are located, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone
and/or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be
done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration
that it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer
is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Master Servicer
believes it appropriate in its best judgment, to (i) execute and deliver, on
behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or
discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and the Mortgaged Properties, (ii) institute foreclosure proceedings or
obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such
properties, and (iii) hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on
behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall service
and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and
federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be
provided to them thereby. Subject to Section 3.16, the Trustee shall furnish to
the Master Servicer and any Sub-Servicer any limited or special powers of
attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master
Servicer and any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative
duties hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by the
Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to the application of such limited
or special powers of attorney.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the
Master 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 3.09, and further as
provided in Section 3.11. No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or by
Sub-Servicers in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties shall, for the purpose of calculating distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage
Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master
Servicer shall not (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the
Mortgage Loan or such default
-43-
is, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) make or
permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan
that would both (i) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under
Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations
promulgated thereunder) and (ii) cause REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as
a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions"
or "contributions" after the startup date under the REMIC Provisions.
The relationship of the Master Servicer (and of any successor to the
Master Servicer under this Agreement) to the Trustee under this Agreement is
intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of
a joint venturer, partner or agent.
SECTION 3.02. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Master Servicer and
Sub-Servicers.
(a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with
SubServicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and for
the performance of any and all other activities of the Master Servicer
hereunder. Each Sub-Servicer shall be either (i) an institution the accounts of
which are insured by the FDIC or (ii) another entity that engages in the
business of originating or servicing mortgage loans, and in either case shall be
authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related
Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent
required by applicable law to enable the SubServicer to perform its obligations
hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and in either case shall be a
FHLMC or FNMA approved mortgage servicer. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered
into by the Master Servicer shall include the provision that such Agreement may
be immediately terminated without cause and without any termination fee by any
successor Master Servicer hereunder. In addition, each Sub-Servicing Agreement
must impose on the SubServicer requirements conforming to the provisions set
forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent
with the terms of this Agreement. With the consent of the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the
Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements
and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different
forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments
or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of
this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall be made or
entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the
interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master
Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall
enforce the obligations of each SubServicer under the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in
respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement,
-44-
or to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of defective documentation or on
account of a breach of a representation or warranty, as described in Section
2.02. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of
claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other
appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent
and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment,
would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master
Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, but shall
be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such
enforcement only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts
due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of
costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the party against whom such
enforcement is directed.
SECTION 3.03. Successor Sub-Servicers.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any
Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such
Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all
servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by
the Master Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or
the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer either shall service directly the
related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a
successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer shall
include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated without
cause and without any termination fee by any successor Master Servicer
hereunder.
SECTION 3.04. Liability of the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of
this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master
Servicer and a SubServicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer
or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to
the Trustee and Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without
diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing
Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer
and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master
Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. For purposes
of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments
on Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer has received such payments. The Master
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-
-45-
Servicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
SECTION 3.05. No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and
Trustee or Certificateholders.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer
in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between
the Sub-Servicer and the Master Servicer alone, and the Trustee and
Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer
except as set forth in Section 3.06.
SECTION 3.06. Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by
Trustee.
In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
master servicer (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee or its
designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Master Servicer may have
entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement
in accordance with its terms and in accordance with Section 3.02(a). Subject to
Section 3.03, in the event of such an assumption, the Trustee, its designee or
the successor servicer for the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of
the Master Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer
as a party to each SubServicing Agreement to the same extent as if the
Sub-Servicing Agreements had been assigned to the assuming party, except that
the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or
obligations under the Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the Master Servicer shall
continue to be entitled to any rights or benefits which arose prior to its
termination as master servicer.
The Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee,
deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each
Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an
accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing
Agreements to the assuming party.
SECTION 3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and
the terms and provisions of any related
-46-
Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it would follow with
respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own
account. The Master Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in
litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage,
Mortgage Note, Primary Hazard Insurance Policy or otherwise or against any
public or governmental authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it
reasonably believes that it is prohibited by applicable law from enforcing the
provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is
required. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for preparing and
distributing all information statements relating to payments on the Mortgage
Loans, in accordance with all applicable federal and state tax laws and
regulations.
SECTION 3.08. Sub-Servicing Accounts.
In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to
establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing
Account"). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall
otherwise be acceptable to the Master Servicer. All amounts held in a
Sub-Servicing Account shall be held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholders. The Sub-Servicer will be required to deposit into the
Sub-Servicing Account no later than the first Business Day after receipt all
proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer, less its servicing
compensation and any unreimbursed expenses and advances, to the extent permitted
by the Sub-Servicing Agreement. On each Sub-Servicer Remittance Date the
Sub-Servicer will be required to remit to the Master Servicer for deposit in the
Custodial Account all funds held in the Sub-Servicing Account with respect to
any Mortgage Loan as of the Sub-Servicer Remittance Date, after deducting from
such remittance an amount equal to the servicing compensation and unreimbursed
expenses and advances to which it is then entitled pursuant to the related
Sub-Servicing Agreement, to the extent not previously paid to or retained by it.
In addition, on each Sub-Servicer Remittance Date the Sub-Servicer will be
required to remit to the Master Servicer any amounts required to be advanced
pursuant to the related SubServicing Agreement. The Sub-Servicer will also be
required to remit to the Master Servicer, within one Business Day of receipt,
the proceeds of any Principal Prepayment made by the Mortgagor and any Insurance
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds.
SECTION 3.09. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Servicing Accounts.
The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers shall establish and maintain
one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"), and shall deposit and retain
therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from
Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, Primary Hazard Insurance
Policy premiums, and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors, to the
extent that the Master Servicer customarily escrows for such amounts.
-47-
Withdrawals of amounts so collected from a Servicing Account may be made only to
(i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, Primary Hazard Insurance Policy
premiums and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Master Servicer (or a
Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out
of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.01 (with
respect to taxes and assessments), and 3.13 (with respect to Primary Hazard
Insurance Policies); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to
be overages; or (iv) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01. As part of its servicing
duties, the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall, if and to the extent
required by law, pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts
from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.
SECTION 3.10. Custodial Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
accounts (collectively, the "Custodial Account") in which the Master Servicer
shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis, or as and when received
from the Sub-Servicers, the following payments and collections received or made
by or on behalf of it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to
the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto (other than in
respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the
Cut-off Date):
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans,
exclusive of any portion thereof representing interest in excess of the
related Net Mortgage Rate;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds, other than proceeds that represent
reimbursement of costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in
connection with presenting claims under the related Insurance Policies,
Liquidation Proceeds and REO Proceeds;
(iv) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property repurchased or
purchased in accordance with Sections 2.02, 2.04, 3.22 or 9.01; and all
amounts required to be deposited in connection with the substitution of a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.04; and
(v) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12,
Section 3.13 or Section 3.25(b); and
-48-
The Master Servicer shall also deposit into the Custodial Account the
amount described in Section 2.01 relating to the Mortgage Loan that does not
have a Monthly Payment due on December 1, 1995.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall
be exclusive. In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial
Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may withdraw such
amount from the Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Custodial Account shall be maintained as a segregated
account, separate and apart from trust funds created for mortgage pass-through
certificates of other series, and the other accounts of the Master Servicer.
(b) Funds in the Custodial Account may be invested in Permitted
Instruments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The
Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Depositor of the
location of the Custodial Account after any change thereof.
SECTION 3.11. Permitted Withdrawals From the Custodial Account.
The Master Servicer may, from time to time as provided herein, make
withdrawals from the Custodial Account of amounts on deposit therein pursuant to
Section 3.10 that are attributable to the Mortgage Loans for the following
purposes:
(i) to make deposits into the Certificate Account in the amounts
and in the manner provided for in Section 3.13 and 4.01;
(ii) to pay to itself, the Depositor, the Seller or any other
appropriate person, as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage Loan
that has previously been purchased or repurchased pursuant to Sections
2.02, 2.04 or 9.01 all amounts received thereon and not yet distributed as
of the date of purchase or repurchase;
(iii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for Advances not
previously reimbursed, the Master Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right to
reimbursement pursuant to this clause (iii) being limited to amounts
received which represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing
Fees) of Monthly Payments on Mortgage Loans with respect to which such
Advances were made and as further provided in Section 3.15;
(iv) to reimburse or pay itself, the Trustee or the Depositor for
expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Master Servicer, the Trustee or
the Depositor pursuant to Sections 3.22, 6.03, 8.05, 10.01(c) or 10.01(g),
except as otherwise provided in such Sections;
-49-
(v) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for costs and
expenses incurred by or reimbursable to it relating to the prosecution of
any claims pursuant to Section 3.13 that are in excess of the amounts so
recovered;
(vi) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for unpaid Servicing
Fees and unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Master Servicer's or any
Sub-Servicer's right to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (vi) with
respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to late recoveries of the
payments for which such advances were made pursuant to Section 3.01 or
Section 3.09 and any other related Late Collections;
(vii) to pay itself as servicing compensation (in addition to the
Servicing Fee), on or after each Distribution Date, any interest or
investment income earned on funds deposited in the Custodial Account for
the period ending on such Distribution Date, subject to Section 8.05;
(viii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for any Advance
previously made which the Master Servicer has determined to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance; and
(ix) to clear and terminate the Custodial Account at the
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting
records on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying
any withdrawal from the Custodial Account pursuant to such subclauses (ii),
(iii), (iv), (vi), (vii) and (viii).
SECTION 3.12. Permitted Instruments.
Any institution maintaining the Custodial Account shall at the
direction of the Master Servicer invest the funds in such account in Permitted
Instruments, each of which shall mature not later than (i) the Business Day
immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee
is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are
required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the
Trustee is the obligor thereon and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its
maturity. All income and gain realized from any such investment as well as any
interest earned on deposits in the Custodial Account shall be for the benefit of
the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Custodial Account
an amount equal to the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such
investment immediately upon realization of such loss without right of
reimbursement.
-50-
SECTION 3.13. Maintenance of Primary Hazard Insurance.
(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage
Loan primary hazard insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged
Property in an amount equal to the lesser of 100% the replacement value of the
improvements, as determined by the insurance company, on such Mortgaged Property
or the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall
also cause to be maintained on property acquired upon foreclosure, or deed in
lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan, fire insurance with extended coverage
in an amount equal to the replacement value of the improvements thereon.
Pursuant to Section 3.10, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any
such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of
the related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to
the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer's normal servicing
procedures) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in
maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the
Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. 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 Loan other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as
shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.
If at the origination of the Mortgage or at any time during the term
of the Mortgage Loan the Master Servicer determines or determined, as
applicable, that the Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified on a
Flood Hazard Boundary Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Flood
Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance
has been made available, the Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained a
flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the
Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier,
in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (i) the
outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the maximum amount
of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968,
the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform
Act of 1994, as amended.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a
blanket fire insurance policy with extended coverage 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 two sentences of this
Section 3.13, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that
there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy
complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.13 and there shall have
been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the
Certificate Account the amount not otherwise payable under the
-51-
blanket policy because of such deductible clause. Any such deposit by the Master
Servicer shall be made on the Certificate Account Deposit Date next preceding
the Distribution Date which occurs in the month following the month in which
payments under any such policy would have been deposited in the Custodial
Account. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the
Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.
SECTION 3.14. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
The Master Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any
conveyance or prospective conveyance by any Mortgagor of the Mortgaged Property
(whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the
Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage), exercise or cause to be exercised its rights to accelerate the
maturity of such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause applicable
thereto; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such
rights if it reasonably believes that it is prohibited by law from doing so. If
the Master Servicer is unable to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause (as provided
in the previous sentence) or if no "due-on-sale" clause is applicable, the
Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicer will use its best efforts to enter into an
assumption and modification agreement with the Person to whom such property has
been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person
becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by
applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer shall not enter into any assumption and modification
agreement if the coverage provided under the Primary Insurance Policy, if any,
would be impaired by doing so. The Master Servicer is also authorized 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 the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Any fee collected
by or on behalf of the Master Servicer for entering into an assumption or
substitution of liability agreement will be retained by or on behalf of the
Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any
such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not
limited to the Mortgage Rate, the amount of the Monthly Payment and any other
term affecting the amount or timing of payment on the Mortgage Loan) may be
changed. The Master Servicer shall not enter into any substitution or assumption
if such substitution or assumption shall (i) both constitute a "significant
modification" effecting an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under
the Code (or final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated
thereunder) and cause REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC under
the REMIC Provisions or (ii) cause the imposition of any tax on "prohibited
transactions" or "contributions" after the Startup Day under the REMIC
Provisions. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such
substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the
Trustee the original copy of such substitution or assumption agreement, which
copy shall be
-52-
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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or
any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of
a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption that the Master Servicer
may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever. For
purposes of this Section 3.14, the term "assumption" is deemed to also include a
sale of a Mortgaged Property that is not accompanied by an assumption or
substitution of liability agreement.
SECTION 3.15. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The Master Servicer shall exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with
the procedures that the Master Servicer would use in servicing loans for its own
account, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an
REO Acquisition) 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 pursuant to
Section 3.07, and which are not released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any
other provision hereof. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to
realize upon such defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will maximize the
receipt of principal and interest by Certificateholders, taking into account,
among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings. The foregoing is
subject to the provisions that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall
have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer shall not be
required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless
it shall determine in its sole discretion (i) that such restoration will
increase the net proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to
Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii)
that such expenses will be recoverable by the Master Servicer through Insurance
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as
contemplated in Section 3.11. The Master 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 related
property, as contemplated in Section 3.11.
The proceeds of any Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition, as well as
any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds or any income from an REO Property, will be applied in the
following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances, pursuant to
Section 3.11(vi) or 3.22; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage
Loan or REO Imputed Interest, at the Mortgage Rate, to the date of the Cash
Liquidation or REO Disposition, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution
Date on which such
-53-
amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Cash Liquidation or
REO Disposition; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If
the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than a full recovery
thereof, that amount will be allocated as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing
Fees; and second, to interest at the Net Mortgage Rate. The portion of the
recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Master
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(vi). The portions of the
recovery so allocated to interest at the Net Mortgage Rate and to principal of
the Mortgage Loan shall be applied as follows: first, to reimburse the Master
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Advances in accordance
with Section 3.11(iii) or 3.22, and second, for distribution in accordance with
the provisions of Section 4.01(c), subject to Section 3.22 with respect to
certain recoveries from an REO Disposition constituting Excess Proceeds.
SECTION 3.16. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately notify
the Trustee by a certification (which certification shall include a statement to
the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such
payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to
Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall
request delivery to it of the Mortgage File in the form of the Request for
Release attached hereto as Exhibit F-2. Upon receipt of such certification and
request, the Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the
Master Servicer. Subject to the receipt by the Master Servicer of the proceeds
of such payment in full and the payment of all related fees and expenses, the
Master Servicer shall arrange for the release to the Mortgagor of the original
cancelled Mortgage Note. All other documents in the Mortgage File shall be
retained by the Master Servicer to the extent required by applicable law. The
Master Servicer shall provide for preparation of the appropriate instrument of
satisfaction covering any Mortgage Loan which pays in full and the Trustee shall
cooperate in the execution and return of such instrument to provide for its
delivery or recording as may be required. No expenses incurred in connection
with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable
to the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account.
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure
of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any
insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall, upon request
of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, release the related Mortgage File to
the Master Servicer, and the Trustee shall execute such documents as the Master
Servicer shall prepare and request as being necessary to the prosecution of any
such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the Master Servicer to
return each document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee
when the need therefor
-54-
by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been
liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been
deposited in the Custodial Account or the Mortgage File or such document has
been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official
as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other
proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or
non-judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered to the Trustee a
certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the
Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the
purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a Request for Release
stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or
to be received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be
deposited into the Custodial Account have been or will be so deposited, or that
such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release
shall be released by the Trustee to the Master Servicer.
Upon written request of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute
and deliver to the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee's
sale or other documents prepared by the Master Servicer that are necessary to
the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any
legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other
remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise
available at law or in equity. Each such request that such pleadings or
documents be executed by the Trustee shall include a certification as to the
reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and
delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien
of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of
the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
SECTION 3.17. Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to retain, from deposits to the Custodial Account of amounts
representing payments or recoveries of interest, the Servicing Fees with respect
to each Mortgage Loan (less any portion of such amounts retained by any
Sub-Servicer). In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover
unpaid Servicing Fees out of related Late Collections to the extent permitted in
Section 3.11.
The Master Servicer also shall be entitled pursuant to Section 3.11 to
receive from the Custodial Account and the Certificate Account as additional
servicing compensation interest or other income earned on deposits therein,
subject to Section 3.23, as well as any prepayment charges, assumption fees,
late payment charges and reconveyance fees. The Master Servicer shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder (including payment of the premiums for any blanket policy
insuring against hazard
-55-
losses pursuant to Section 3.13, servicing compensation of the Sub-Servicer to
the extent not retained by it and the fees and expenses of the Trustee), and
shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided
in Section 3.11. The Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part
except in connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.18. Maintenance of Certain Servicing Policies.
During the term of its service as Master Servicer, the Master Servicer
shall maintain in force (i) a policy or policies of insurance covering errors
and omissions in the performance of its obligations as servicer hereunder and
(ii) a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees or 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 such corporation. The Master Servicer shall prepare and
present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under
any such errors and omissions policy or policies or fidelity bond in a timely
fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy or bond, and upon the filing
of any claim on any policy or bond described in this Section, the Master
Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any such claims and the Trustee
shall notify each Rating Agency of such claim.
SECTION 3.19. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Master Servicer will deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Certificate Insurer on or before June 30 of each year, beginning with June 30,
1996, an Officers' Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a
review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar
year and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such
officers' supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based
on such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all of 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
officers and the nature and status thereof.
SECTION 3.20. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Statement.
On or before April 15 of each year, beginning with April 15, 1996, the
Master Servicer at its expense shall furnish to the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Seller and the Certificate Insurer (i) an opinion by a firm of independent
certified public accountants on the financial position of the Master Servicer at
the end of its fiscal year and the results of operations and changes in
financial position of the Master Servicer for such year then ended on the basis
of an examination conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, and (ii) if the Master Servicer is then servicing any Mortgage Loans,
a statement from such independent
-56-
certified public accountants to the effect that based on an examination of
certain specified documents and records relating to the servicing of the Master
Servicer's mortgage loan portfolio conducted substantially in compliance with
the audit program for mortgages serviced for FNMA and FHLMC, the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development Mortgage Audit Standards, or the
Uniform Single Audit Program for Mortgage Bankers (the "Applicable Accounting
Standards"), such firm is of the opinion that such servicing has been conducted
in compliance with the Applicable Accounting Standards except for (a) such
exceptions as such firm shall believe to be immaterial and (b) such other
exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement. In rendering such statement,
such firm may rely, as to matters relating to direct servicing of mortgage loans
by Sub-Servicers, upon comparable statements for examinations conducted
substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Audit Program for Mortgage
Bankers or the audit program for mortgages serviced for FHLMC (rendered within
one year of such statement) of independent public accountants with respect to
the related Sub-Servicer. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the
Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at the Master Servicer's expense,
provided such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.21. Access to Certain Documentation.
(a) The Master Servicer shall provide to the OTS, the FDIC and other
federal banking regulatory agencies, and their respective examiners, access to
the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable
regulations of the OTS, the FDIC and such other agencies. Such access shall be
afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request and
during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by
it. Nothing in this Section shall derogate from the obligation of the Master
Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information
regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Master Servicer to provide
access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not
constitute a breach of this section.
(b) The Master Servicer shall afford the Depositor and the Trustee,
upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all records
maintained by the Master Servicer in respect of its rights and obligations
hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer responsible for such
obligations. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall furnish the Depositor and
the Trustee with its most recent financial statements and such other information
as the Master Servicer possesses regarding its business, affairs, property and
condition, financial or otherwise to the extent related to the servicing of the
Mortgage Loans. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the
obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to,
perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master
Servicer hereunder or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer hereunder;
provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its
obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its
designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility
-57-
or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and is not
obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement or otherwise.
SECTION 3.22. Title, Conservation and Disposition of REO Property.
This Section shall apply only to REO Properties acquired for the
account of the Trust Fund and shall not apply to any REO Property relating to a
Mortgage Loan which was purchased or repurchased from the Trust Fund pursuant to
any provision hereof. In the event that title to any such REO Property is
acquired, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to
its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer, on behalf
of the Trust Fund, shall either sell any REO Property within two years after the
Trust Fund acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section
860G(a)(8) of the Code or, at the expense of the Trust Fund, request, more than
60 days before the day on which the two-year grace period would otherwise expire
an extension of the two-year grace period, unless the Master Servicer has
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the
Master Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO
Property subsequent to two years after its acquisition will not result in the
imposition on REMIC I or REMIC II of taxes on "prohibited transactions" thereof,
as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to
qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or comparable provisions of the
laws of the State of California at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding. The Master Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate
each REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its
prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property
to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(8) or result in the receipt by REMIC I or REMIC II of any "income from
non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or
any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under
the REMIC Provisions. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the
Master Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Master
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 Master Servicer
deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders for the period prior
to the sale of such REO Property.
Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the
REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other
consideration).
The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart
from its own funds and general assets. The Master Servicer shall deposit, or
cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in the Custodial Account all revenues
received with respect to the REO Properties, net of any
-58-
directly related expenses incurred or withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the
proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property.
If as of the date of acquisition of title to any REO Property there
remain outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to such REO
Property or any outstanding Advances allocated thereto the Master Servicer, upon
an REO Disposition, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unreimbursed related Advances as well as
any unpaid Servicing Fees from proceeds received in connection with the REO
Disposition, as further provided in Section 3.15.
The REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at
such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Master Servicer shall
determine.
The Master Servicer shall deposit the proceeds from the REO
Disposition, net of any payment to the Master Servicer as provided above, in the
Custodial Account upon receipt thereof for distribution in accordance with
Section 4.01; provided, that any such net proceeds received by the Master
Servicer which are in excess of the applicable Stated Principal Balance plus all
unpaid REO Imputed Interest thereon through the last day of the month in which
the REO Disposition occurred ("Excess Proceeds") shall be retained by the Master
Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.22, with
respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer has received notice
of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance
on the Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall promptly request the
Trustee and the Depositor to provide directions and instructions with respect to
such Mortgage Loan and shall act in accordance with any such directions and
instructions jointly provided by the Trustee and the Depositor. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence of this Section 3.22, with respect to any Mortgage Loan
described by such sentence, the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the
Trustee, either (i) obtain title to the related Mortgaged Property as a result
of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession
of, the related Mortgaged Property, unless (i) the Depositor and the Trustee
jointly direct the Master Servicer to take such action and (ii) either (A) the
Master Servicer has, at least 30 days prior to taking such action, obtained and
delivered to the Depositor an environmental audit report prepared by a Person
who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards
or (B) the Depositor has directed the Master Servicer not to obtain an
environmental audit report. If the Trustee and the Depositor have not jointly
provided directions and instructions to the Master Servicer in connection with
any such Mortgage Loan within 30 days of a request by the Master Servicer for
such directions and instructions, then the Master Servicer shall take such
action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund (other
than proceeding against the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized at such
time as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of
the related
-59-
Mortgage. The Master Servicer hereby agrees that it shall not require the Seller
to repurchase any Mortgage Loan under the provisions of any applicable
agreement, if the Depositor has directed the Master Servicer to take any action
as described in the second preceding sentence in connection with the related
Mortgaged Property and if the Master Servicer at the time of such direction had
notice of the presence of such toxic or hazardous substance, unless the Seller
was notified of such toxic or hazardous substance and consented to the action so
directed by the Master Servicer.
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this
Section 3.22 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as an expense of the Trust
Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be reimbursed therefor from the Custodial
Account as provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior
to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Custodial
Account.
If the Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in
the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property in compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance,
containment, clean-up or remediation shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as
an expense of the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor from the Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.11, any
such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders
to receive any amount in the Custodial Account.
SECTION 3.23. Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer.
On each Certificate Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account from its own funds
and without any right of reimbursement therefor, a total amount equal to the
aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for such Distribution Date;
provided that the Master Servicer's obligations under this subsection on any
Distribution Date shall not be more than the total amount of its servicing
compensation payable in such month (exclusive of any portion thereof which is
payable to the Trustee).
The Master Servicer shall apply all partial Principal Prepayments
received as of the first day of the month following the month of receipt, with
no resulting reduction in interest payable for the month in which any such
partial Principal Prepayment is received.
SECTION 3.24. Additional Obligations of the Depositor.
-60-
The Depositor agrees that on or prior to the tenth day after the
Closing Date, the Depositor shall provide the Trustee with a written
notification, substantially in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto, relating
to each Class of Certificates, setting forth (i) in the case of each Class of
such Certificates, (a) if less than 10% of the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance of such Class of Certificates has been sold to the public as of such
date, the value calculated pursuant to clause (b)(iii) of Exhibit J hereto, or,
(b) if 10% or more of such Class of Certificates has been sold to the public as
of such date but no single price is paid for at least 10% of the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates, then the weighted
average price at which the Certificates of such Class were sold and the
aggregate percentage of Certificates of such Class sold, or (c) the first single
price at which at least 10% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of
such class of Certificates was sold to the public, (ii) the prepayment
assumption used in pricing the Certificates, and (iii) such other information as
to matters of fact as the Trustee may reasonably request to enable it to comply
with it reporting requirements with respect to each Class of such Certificates
to the extent such information can in the good faith judgment of the Depositor
be determined by it.
SECTION 3.25. Administration of Buydown Funds.
(a) With respect to any Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Sub-servicer has
deposited Buydown Funds in an account that satisfies the requirements for a
Sub-servicing Account, except that if such account qualifies as an Eligible
Account solely by virtue of the fact that the institution in which such account
is maintained meets the requirements of clause (i) of the definition of Eligible
Account, then the institution in which such account is maintained must also be
one the long-term unsecured obligations of which are rated A2 or higher by
Xxxxx'x and A1 or higher by Standard & Poor's (the "Buydown Account"). The
Master Servicer shall cause the Sub-servicing Agreement to require that upon
receipt from the Mortgagor of the amount due on a Due Date for each Buydown
Mortgage Loan, the Sub-servicer will withdraw from the Buydown Account the
predetermined amount that, when added to the amount due on such date from the
Mortgagor, equals the full Monthly Payment and transmit that amount in
accordance with the terms of the Sub-servicing Agreement to the Master Servicer
together with the related payment made by the Mortgagor or advanced by the
Sub-servicer.
(b) If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan prepays such loan in
its entirety during the period (the "Buydown Period") when Buydown Funds are
required to be applied to such Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Sub-servicer shall be
required to withdraw from the Buydown Account and remit any Buydown Funds
remaining in the Buydown Account in accordance with the related buydown
agreement. The amount of Buydown Funds which may be remitted in accordance with
the related buydown agreement may reduce the amount required to be paid by the
Mortgagor to fully prepay the related Mortgage Loan. If the Mortgagor on a
Buydown Mortgage Loan defaults on such Mortgage Loan during the Buydown Period
and the property securing such Buydown Mortgage Loan is sold in the liquidation
thereof (either by the
-61-
Master Servicer or the insurer under any related Primary Insurance Policy), the
Sub-servicer shall be required to withdraw from the Buydown Account the Buydown
Funds for such Buydown Mortgage Loan still held in the Buydown Account and remit
the same to the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of the
Sub-servicing Agreement for deposit in the Custodial Account or, if instructed
by the Master Servicer, pay to the insurer under any related Primary Insurance
Policy if the Mortgaged Property is transferred to such insurer and such insurer
pays all of the loss incurred in respect of such default. Any amount so remitted
pursuant to the preceding sentence will be deemed to reduce the amount owed on
the Mortgage Loan.
-62-

distributions of principal thereon and the Available Distribution Amount will be
paid solely to the holders of the Class R-I Certificates.
-64-
(e) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall
be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be
responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its
Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, the Company or the Master Servicer shall have any
responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or
applicable law.
(f) The Trustee shall, upon written request from the Master Servicer,
invest or cause the institution maintaining the Certificate Account to invest
the funds in the Certificate Account in Permitted Instruments designated in the
name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, which shall
mature not later than the Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date next
following the date of such investment (except that (i) any investment in
obligations of the institution with which the Certificate Account is maintained
may mature on such Distribution Date and (ii) any other investment may mature on
such Distribution Date if the Trustee shall agree to advance funds on such
Distribution Date to the Certificate Account in the amount payable on such
investment on such Distribution Date, pending receipt thereof to the extent
necessary to make distributions on the Certificates) and shall not be sold or
disposed of prior to maturity. All income and gain realized from any such
investment shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject
to its withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred
in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the Certificate Account
by the Master Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized without
right of reimbursement.
(g) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trustee
expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates
will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no later than
five days after the Determination Date, mail to each Holder on such date of such
Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:
(i) the Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to
such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date but only
upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the
Trustee therein specified, and
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the
end of the related Interest Accrual Period.
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of
such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or
Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held
in trust and credited to the account of the
-65-
appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which
notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(g) shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such
notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to
receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall take reasonable steps as directed by the
Depositor, or appoint an agent to take reasonable steps, to contact the
remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of
contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in
the Trust Fund after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Class R-I Certificateholders shall be entitled
to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto. No interest
shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust
as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s)
for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(g).

SECTION 4.03. Remittance Reports; Advances by the Master Servicer.
(a) On the Business Day following each Determination Date, the Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer a report,
prepared as of the close of business on the Determination Date (the
"Determination Date Report"), in the form of an electromagnetic tape or disk.
The Determination Date Report and any written information supplemental thereto
shall include such information with respect to the Mortgage Loans that is
reasonably available to the Master Servicer and that is required by the Trustee
for purposes of making the calculations referred to in the following paragraph,
as set forth in written specifications or guidelines issued by the Trustee from
time to time. Not later than 11:00 A.M. California time on each Certificate
Account Deposit Date, the Trustee shall furnish by telecopy to the Master
Servicer and the Certificate Insurer a statement (the information in such
statement to be made available to Certificateholders or the Depositor by the
Master Servicer on request) setting forth (i) the Available Distribution Amount,
(ii) the amounts required to be withdrawn from the Custodial Account and
deposited into the Certificate Account on the immediately succeeding Certificate
Account Deposit Date pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 4.01(a), (iii) the
Certificate Insurer Premium, if any, (iv) if the Trustee determines that the
Deficiency Amount for such Distribution Date is greater than zero, the amount
necessary to complete clauses (ii)-(vi) of the notice in the form of Exhibit A
to the Policy (the "Notice") and (v) Cumulative Insurance Payments after giving
effect to the distributions to be made on such Distribution Date. The Trustee
shall have no obligation to recompute, recalculate or verify any information
provided to it by the Master Servicer. The determination by the Trustee of such
amounts shall, in the absence of obvious error, be presumptively deemed to be
correct for all purposes hereunder.
(b) Not later than 2:00 P.M. New York time on each Certificate Account
Deposit Date, the Trustee shall notify the Master Servicer of the aggregate
amount of Advances required to be made for the related Distribution Date, which
shall be in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate amount of Monthly
Payments (with each interest portion thereof adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate
plus the Certificate Insurer Premium Rate), less the amount of any related Debt
Service Reductions or reductions in the amount of interest collectable from the
Mortgagor pursuant to the Relief Act, on the Outstanding Mortgage Loans as of
the related Due Date, which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of
business as of the related Determination Date; provided, however, that no
Advance shall be made if it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. On or before 4:00
P.M. New York time on each Certificate Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer
shall either (i) deposit in the Certificate Account from its own funds, or funds
received therefor from the Sub-Servicers, an amount equal to the Advances to be
made by the Master Servicer in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii)
withdraw from amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and deposit in the
Certificate Account all or a
-69-
portion of the amounts held for future distribution in discharge of any such
Advance, or (iii) make advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii)
aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any portion of the amounts held for
future distribution so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit
in the Certificate Account on or before 1:00 P.M. New York time on any future
Certificate Account Deposit Date to the extent that funds attributable to the
Mortgage Loans that are available in the Custodial Account for deposit in the
Certificate Account on such Certificate Account Deposit Date shall be less than
payments to Certificateholders required to be made on the following Distribution
Date. The amount of any reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.11 in respect of
outstanding Advances on any Distribution Date shall be allocated to specific
Monthly Payments due but delinquent for previous Due Periods, which allocation
shall be made, to the extent practicable, to Monthly Payments which have been
delinquent for the longest period of time. Such allocations shall be conclusive
for purposes of reimbursement to the Master Servicer from recoveries on related
Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.11. The determination by the Master
Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance,
if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by a
certificate of a Servicing Officer delivered to the Seller and the Trustee. The
Trustee shall deposit all funds it receives pursuant to this Section 4.03 into
the Certificate Account.
(c) In the event that the Master Servicer determines as of any
Certificate Account Deposit Date that it will be unable to deposit in the
Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance required to be made for the
immediately succeeding Distribution Date in the amount determined by the Trustee
pursuant to paragraph (b) above, it shall give notice to the Trustee of its
inability to advance (such notice may be given by telecopy), not later than 4:00
P.M., New York time, on such date, specifying the portion of such amount that it
will be unable to deposit. Not later than 4:00 P.M., New York time, on the
earlier of (x) two Business Days following such Certificate Account Deposit Date
or (y) the Business Day preceding the related Distribution Date, unless by such
time the Master Servicer shall have directly or indirectly deposited in the
Certificate Account the entire amount of the Advances required to be made for
the related Distribution Date, pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall (a)
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01 and (b) assume the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to
deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance for the
immediately succeeding Distribution Date.
SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.
Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine
the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, that resulted from any Cash
Liquidation, Debt Service Reduction, Deficient Valuation or REO Disposition that
occurred during the related Prepayment Period. The amount of each Realized Loss
shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate by the
-70-
Master Servicer. Realized Losses shall be allocated among the various Classes of
Certificates as determined by the Trustee in accordance with the following
provisions. All Realized Losses, other than Excess Losses, shall be allocated,
first, to the Net Monthly Excess Cash Flow for such Distribution Date; second,
to the Class R-I Certificates; third, to the Class A-3 Certificates; and fourth,
to the Super Senior Certificates on a pro rata basis. All Excess Losses shall be
allocated to the Net Monthly Excess Cash Flow and then among all the
Certificates on a pro rata basis.
Unless a Certificate Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing,
all Realized Losses (including Excess Losses) allocated to the Senior
Certificates will be Deficiency Amounts and will be recovered under the Policy
by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.07 and paid to the Holders of the Senior
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.07 and Section 4.01.
An allocation of a Realized Loss (including an Excess Loss) on a "pro
rata basis" among two or more Classes of Certificates means an allocation to
each such Class of Certificates on the basis of its then outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such
Distribution Date in the case of an allocation of the principal portion of a
Realized Loss or based on the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon in the case
of an allocation of the interest portion of a Realized Loss. Except as provided
in the following sentence, any allocation of the principal portion of Realized
Losses (other than Debt Service Reductions) to a Class of Certificates shall be
made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof, by the amount so
allocated, which allocation shall be deemed to have occurred on such
Distribution Date. Any allocation of the principal portion of Realized Losses
(other than Debt Service Reductions) to the Certificates shall be made by
operation of the definition of "Certificate Principal Balance" and by the
provisions of Section 4.01(c). Allocations of the interest portions of Realized
Losses shall be made by operation of the definition of "Accrued Certificate
Interest" and by operation of the provisions of Section 4.01(c). Allocations of
the principal portion of Debt Service Reductions shall be made by operation of
the provisions of Section 4.01(c). All Realized Losses and all other losses
allocated to a Class of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the
Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced
thereby. For purposes of the foregoing, the Trustee shall maintain records
relating to the Bankruptcy Amount, the Fraud Loss Amount and the Special Hazard
Amount as in effect from time to time.
SECTION 4.05. Information Reports to Be Filed by the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicers shall file information
reports with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or
business, foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and the
information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect
to any Mortgaged Property required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the
Code, respectively, and deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
-71-
stating that such reports have been filed. Such reports shall be in form and
substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections
6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
SECTION 4.06. Compliance with Withholding Requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to
Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount on the Mortgage Loans,
and payments of interest or discount on amounts invested by the Trustee as agent
for Certificateholders pursuant to an election made under Section 4.01 hereof,
that the Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent
of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event
the Trustee withholds any amount from interest or original issue discount
payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, the Trustee shall, together with its monthly report to
such Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, indicate such amount
withheld.
SECTION 4.07. The Policy.
(a) If pursuant to Section 4.03(a)(iv), the Trustee determines that
the Deficiency Amount for such Distribution Date is greater than zero, the
Trustee shall complete the Notice in the form of Exhibit A to the Policy and
submit such Notice in accordance with the Policy to the Certificate Insurer and
the fiscal agent, if any, named in the Policy no later than 12:00 noon, New York
City time, on the Business Day two Business Days preceding each Distribution
Date, as a claim for an Insured Payment in an amount equal to such Deficiency
Amount.
(b) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Insurance Account on
behalf of the Holders of the Senior Certificates. Upon receipt of an Insured
Payment from the Certificate Insurer on behalf of the Senior Certificateholders,
the Trustee shall deposit such Insured Payment in the Insurance Account. All
amounts on deposit in the Insurance Account shall remain uninvested. On each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall transfer any Insured Payment then on
deposit in the Insurance Account to the Certificate Account. The Trustee shall
distribute on each Distribution Date the Deficiency Amount for such Distribution
Date from the Certificate Account together with and in the manner provided for
the distributions due to the Senior Certificateholders on such Distribution Date
pursuant to Section 4.01.
(c) The Trustee shall (i) receive as attorney-in-fact of each Senior
Certificateholder any Insured Payment from the Certificate Insurer and (ii)
distribute such Insured Payment to such Senior Certificateholders as set forth
in Subsection (b) above. Insured Payments disbursed by the Trustee from proceeds
of the Policy shall not be considered payment
-72-
by the Trust Fund with respect to the Senior Certificates, nor shall such
disbursement of such Insured Payments discharge the obligations of the Trust
Fund with respect to the amounts thereof, and the Certificate Insurer shall
become owner of such amounts to the extent covered by such Insured Payments as
the deemed assignee of such Senior Certificateholders. The Trustee hereby agrees
on behalf of each Senior Certificateholder (and each Senior Certificateholder,
by its acceptance of its Senior Certificates, hereby agrees) for the benefit of
the Certificate Insurer that the Trustee shall recognize that to the extent the
Certificate Insurer makes Insured Payments, either directly or indirectly (as by
paying through the Trustee), to the Senior Certificateholders, the Certificate
Insurer will be entitled to be subrogated to the rights of the Senior
Certificateholders to the extent of such payments.
SECTION 4.08. Distributions on the Uncertificated REMIC I Regular
Interests.
(a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be deemed to
distribute to itself, as holder of the Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interests,
the Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interest Distribution Amounts in the
following order of priority, to the extent of the Available Distribution Amount:
(i) Uncertificated Accrued Interest on the Uncertificated REMIC I
Regular Interests for such Distribution Date, plus any Uncertificated
Accrued Interest thereon remaining unpaid from any previous Distribution
Date; and
(ii) In accordance with the priority set forth in Section 4.08(b), an
amount equal to the sum of the amounts distributable in respect of
principal on the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates under
Section 4.01(c).
(b) The amounts distributable in respect of principal on the Class A-1
Certificates shall be deemed distributed to Uncertificated REMIC I Regular
Interest X. The amounts distributable in respect of principal on the Class
A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates shall be deemed distributed to
Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interest Z.
(c) In determining from time to time the Uncertificated REMIC I
Regular Interest Distribution Amounts, (i) Realized Losses allocated to the
Class S and Class A-1 Certificates under Section 4.04 shall be deemed allocated
to Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interest X and (ii) Realized Losses allocated to
the Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates shall be deemed allocated to the
Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interest Z corresponding to the related Mortgage
Loans.
-73-
(d) Notwithstanding the deemed distributions on the Uncertificated
REMIC I Regular Interests described in this Section 4.08, distributions of funds
from the Certificate Account shall be made only in accordance with Section 4.01.

THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates will be substantially in the respective forms
annexed hereto as Exhibits A and B. The Certificates will be issuable in
registered form only. Except as provided in Section 5.01(b) below, the Class A-1
and Class A-2 Certificates will be issuable in denominations evidencing initial
Certificate Principal Balances of not less than $25,000 and integral multiples
of $1.00 in excess thereof. The Class A-3 Certificates will be issuable in
denominations evidencing initial Certificate Principal Balances of not less than
$25,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Class S
Certificates will be issuable in denominations evidencing an initial Notional
Amount of not less than $25,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess
thereof. The Class R-I and the Class R-II Certificates will each be issuable in
denominations of any Percentage Interest representing 5.00% and multiples of
0.01% in excess thereof; provided, however, that one Class R-I and one Class
R-II Certificate may be issued to the "tax matters person", pursuant to Article
X, in a minimum denomination representing a Percentage Interest of not less than
0.01%.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall, upon the written request
of the Depositor executed by an officer of the Depositor, be executed and
delivered by the Trustee, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered to or upon
the order of the Depositor upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents
specified in Section 2.01. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or
facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee in its capacity as trustee
hereunder by a Responsible Officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the
Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of
them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery
of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate
a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any
Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates issued on the Closing Date shall be dated the Closing Date and any
Certificates delivered thereafter shall be dated the date of their
authentication.
(b) The Class S, Class A-1 and Class A-2 Certificates shall initially
be issued as one or more Certificates registered in the name of the Depository
or its nominee and, except as provided below, registration of such Certificates
may not be transferred by the Trustee except
-75-
to another Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective
Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners
shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to each of the Class A
Certificates (except for such remainders) through the book-entry facilities of
the Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to
Definitive Certificates in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by
Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the 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 transfer the Ownership Interests only in the
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.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor may for all
purposes (including the making of payments due on the respective Classes of
Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized
representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the respective Classes
of Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of
Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to
the respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the
Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate
Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as
Holder of any Class of Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular
matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date
in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by
Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.
If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the
Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee in
writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the
Depository, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the
Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of
transfer, the Trustee shall, at the expense of the Depositor, issue the
Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the
Trustee shall be liable for any actions taken by the Depository or its nominee,
including, without limitation, any delay in delivery of such instructions and
may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates the Trustee and the
Master Servicer shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.
-76-
SECTION 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall maintain a Certificate Register in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided.
(b) Except as provided in Section 5.02(c), no transfer, sale, pledge
or other disposition of a Class R-I or Class R-II shall be made unless such
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and any
applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and
laws. In the event that a transfer of a Class R-I or Class R-II Certificate is
to be made under this Section 5.02(b), (i) the Depositor may direct the Trustee
to require an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer shall be made
pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis
therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Depositor
or the Master Servicer, provided that such Opinion of Counsel will not be
required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the
Depositor or any affiliate thereof, to a non-affiliate of the Depositor and (ii)
the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute a representation letter,
substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 hereto, and the Trustee shall require
the transferor to execute a representation letter, substantially in the form of
Exhibit G-2 hereto, each acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to
the Depositor and the Trustee certifying to the Depositor and the Trustee the
facts surrounding such transfer, which representation letters shall not be an
expense of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer; provided however
that such representation letters will not be required in connection with any
transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a
representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a written
representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an
affiliate of the Depositor. Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor
and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is
not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such applicable federal and
state laws.
(c) Transfers of Class R-I or Class R-II Certificates may be made in
accordance with this Section 5.02(c) if the prospective transferee of a
Certificate provides the Trustee and the Depositor with an investment letter
substantially in the form of Exhibit G-3 attached hereto, which investment
letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master
Servicer, and which investment letter states that, among other things, such
transferee is a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined under Rule 144A. Such
transfers shall be deemed to have complied with the requirements of Section
5.02(b) hereof; provided, however, that no Transfer of any of the Class R-I or
Class R-II Certificates may be made
-77-
pursuant to this Section 5.02(c) by the Depositor. Any such Certificateholder
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer against any liability that may
result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such
applicable federal and state laws.
(d) The Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel from a prospective
transferee prior to the transfer of any Class A-3, Class R-I or Class R-II
Certificate to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement,
including individual retirement accounts and Xxxxx plans, that is subject to
Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA") or Section 4975 of the Code (any of the foregoing, a "Plan"), to a
trustee or other Person acting on behalf of any Plan, or to any other person who
is using "plan assets" of any Plan to effect such acquisition (including any
insurance company using funds in its general or separate accounts that may
constitute "plan assets"). Such Opinion of Counsel must establish to the
satisfaction of the Depositor and the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that
such disposition will not violate the prohibited transaction provisions of
Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. Neither the Depositor, the
Master Servicer nor the Trustee will be required to obtain such Opinion of
Counsel on behalf of any prospective transferee. In the case of any transfer of
the foregoing Certificates to an insurance company, in lieu of such Opinion of
Counsel, the Trustee shall require a certification in the form of Exhibit G-6
(or in a form substantially similar to such Exhibit G-6 as shall be mutually
agreed upon by the Depositor and the Trustee) substantially to the effect that
the source of the funds used to purchase such Certificates is an "insurance
company general account" (as such term is defined in the Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60") issued by the United States Department of
Labor) and that there is no Plan with respect to which the amount of such
general account's reserves and liabilities for contracts held by or on behalf of
such Plan and all other Plans maintained by the same employer (or any
"affiliate" thereof (as defined in PTCE 95-60), or by the same employee
organization, exceed 10% of the total of all reserves and liabilities of such
general account (as determined under PTCE 95-60) as of the date of acquisition
of such Certificates; provided however that such certification will not be
required in connection with any transfer of any such Certificate by the
Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor and the Trustee shall be entitled to
conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee,
shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such
transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor. The permission of any transfer in
violation of the restriction on transfer set forth in this paragraph shall not
constitute a default or an Event of Default.
(e) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in
a Class R-I or Class R-II Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or
acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the
following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee or its
designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than
such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause
-78-
(iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other
things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R-I or Class R-II Certificate are
expressly subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class
R-I or Class R-II 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.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Class R-I or Class R-II Certificate, the Trustee shall require
delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Residual
Certificate until its receipt of (I) an affidavit and agreement (a
"Transfer Affidavit and Agreement" in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
G-5) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Master Servicer and the Trustee representing and warranting, among
other things, that it is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring
its Ownership Interest in the Class R-I or Class R-II Certificate that is
the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any
Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains
its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to
remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of
this Section 5.02 and agrees to be bound by them, and (II) a certificate,
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-4, from the Holder wishing to
transfer the Class R-I or Class R-II Certificate, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Master Servicer and the Trustee representing and
warranting, among other things, that no purpose of the proposed Transfer is
to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement
by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the
proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an
Ownership Interest in a Class R-I or Class R-II Certificate to such
proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class
R-I or Class R-II Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer
Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts
to transfer its Ownership Interest in a Class R-I or Class R-II Certificate
and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a
certificate to the Trustee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-4.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class
R-I or Class R-II Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such
Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a
"pass-through interest holder" within the meaning of Temporary Treasury
Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately
-79-
upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R-I or Class R-II
Certificate, if it is "a pass-through interest holder", or is holding an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf of a "pass-through
interest holder."
(ii) The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Class R-I or Class
R-II Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-5, a certificate of the
Holder requesting such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-4 and
all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the
Trustee as a condition to such registration. Transfers of the Residual
Certificates to Non-United States Persons and Disqualified Organizations are
prohibited.
(iii) (A) If any Disqualified Organization shall become a Holder of a
Class R-I or Class R-II Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted
Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and
obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such
Transfer of such Class R-I or Class R-II Certificate. If a Non-United States
Person shall become a Holder of a Class R-I or Class R-II Certificate, then the
last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted
by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date
of registration of such Transfer of such Class R-I or Class R-II Certificate. If
a transfer of a Residual Certificate is disregarded pursuant to the provisions
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3, then the last
preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by
law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be
under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class R-I
or Class R-II Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02 or
for making any payments due on such Certificate to the holder thereof or for
taking any other action with respect to such holder under the provisions of this
Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class
R-I or Class R-II Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section
5.02 and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the
Holder of such Class R-I or Class R-II Certificate as described in clause
(iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Trustee
shall have the right, without notice to the holder or any prior holder of such
Residual Certificate, to sell such Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected
by the Trustee on such terms as the Trustee may choose. Such purported
Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in
accordance with the instructions of the Trustee. Such purchaser may be the
Trustee itself. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may
include commissions payable to the Trustee), expenses and taxes due, if any,
will be remitted by the Trustee to such purported Transferee. The terms and
conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the
sole discretion of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be liable to any
Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its
exercise of such discretion.
-80-
(iv) The Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service
and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions, all information necessary
to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the transfer of an ownership
interest in a Class R-I or Class R-II Certificate to any Person who is a
Disqualified Organization, including the information regarding "excess
inclusions" of such Class R-I or Class R-II Certificates required to be provided
to the Internal Revenue Service and certain Persons as described in Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5), and (B) as a result of
any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust
fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of
the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as
among its record holders at any time any Person who is a Disqualified
Organization. The Trustee may charge and shall be entitled to reasonable
compensation for providing such information as may be required from those
Persons which may have had a tax imposed upon them as specified in clauses (A)
and (B) of this paragraph for providing such information.
(f) Subject to the preceding paragraphs, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office of the Trustee
maintained for such purpose, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
Class of a like aggregate initial Certificate Principal Balance, in the case of
the Class A Certificates, or Percentage Interest, in the case of the Class S,
Class R-I or Class R-II Certificates. Every Certificate surrendered for transfer
shall be accompanied by notification of the account of the designated transferee
or transferees for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section
4.01 by wire transfer, if any such transferee desires and is eligible for
distribution by wire transfer.
(g) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of the same Class
of a like aggregate initial Certificate Principal Balance, in the case of the
Class A Certificates, or Percentage Interest, in the case of the Class S, Class
R-I or Class R-II Certificates, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the office of the Certificate Registrar. 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 transfer or
exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) be
duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the
form satisfactory to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar duly executed by,
the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(h) No service charge shall be made to the Certificateholders for any
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
-81-
(i) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
canceled and retained by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee's standard
procedures.
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee and the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by it to save it 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, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for
or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of the same Class and initial Certificate Principal Balance. Upon
the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, 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 shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued,
whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any
time.
SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate
Insurer and any agent of any of them may treat the person in whose name any
Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of
receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 6.01. Liability of the Depositor and the Master Servicer.
The Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
upon and undertaken by the Depositor and the Master Servicer herein.
SECTION 6.02. Merger, Consolidation or Conversion of the Depositor or
the Master Servicer.
The Depositor and the Master Servicer each will keep in full effect
its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the
state of its incorporation, and each will obtain and preserve its qualification
to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Depositor or the Master Servicer may be
merged, consolidated or converted, or any corporation resulting from any merger
or consolidation to which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party,
or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master
Servicer, shall be the successor of the Depositor or the Master 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 Master Servicer shall be qualified to sell mortgage loans to and
service mortgage loans for FNMA or FHLMC.
SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and Others.
Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor any of the directors,
officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be
under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action
taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to
this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect the Depositor or the Master Servicer (but this
provision shall protect the above described persons) against any breach of
warranties or representations made herein, or against any specific liability
imposed on the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01 or any other Section
hereof; and provided further that this provision shall not protect the
-83-
Depositor, the Master Servicer or any such person, against any liability which
would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Master 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 Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with
any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any
loss, liability or expense related to Master Servicer's servicing obligations
with respect to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such
loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this
Agreement) or related to the Master Servicer's obligations under Section 3.01,
or any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor
nor the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or
defend any legal action which is not incidental to its respective duties under
this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that the Depositor or the Master Servicer may in
its sole discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or
desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such
event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom (except any action or liability related to the Master Servicer's
obligations under Section 3.01) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund, and the Depositor and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor from the Certificate Account as provided in Section 3.11,
any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders
to receive any amount in the Certificate Account.
SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor servicer
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee upon receipt by the Trustee of a letter
from each Rating Agency that such a resignation and appointment will not, in and
of itself, result in a downgrading of the Certificates or (b) upon determination
that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any
such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the resigning Master
Servicer) to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall
become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer reasonably acceptable
to the Certificate Insurer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's
responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.

SECTION 7.01. Events of Default.
"Event of Default", wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events:
(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Trustee for
distribution to the Certificateholders any payment (other than an Advance)
required to be made under the terms of the Certificates or this Agreement
which continues unremedied for the earlier of (a) two (2) Business Days or
(b) the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date; or
(ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or
perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on
the part of the Master Servicer contained in the Certificates or in this
Agreement (including any breach of the Master Servicer's representations
and warranties pursuant to Section 2.03(a) which materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Certificateholders) which continues unremedied
for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such
failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Master Servicer by the Depositor (with a copy to the Trustee), the
Certificate Insurer or the Trustee, or to the Master Servicer, the
Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 25% of the Voting Rights; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction in an involuntary case under any present or future
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment
of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment
of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or
for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered
against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in
force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of
debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or
relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially
all of its property; or
(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage
of or otherwise voluntarily commence a case or proceeding under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
-85-
reorganization or other similar statute, make an assignment for the benefit
of its credi- tors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(vi) the Master Servicer shall fail to deposit in the Certificate
Account on any Certificate Account Deposit Date an amount equal to any
required Advance which continues unremedied for the earlier of (a) a period
of two (2) Business Days or (b) the Business Day immediately preceding the
Distribution Date.
If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) - (v) 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 Depositor or the Trustee shall, unless a
Certificate Insurer Default is continuing, at the direction of the Certificate
Insurer, or at the direction of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
51% of the Voting Rights with the consent of the Certificate Insurer, unless a
Certificate Insurer Default is continuing by notice to the Master Servicer (and
to the Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the
Depositor) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement and in and to the Trust Fund, other than its rights as a
Certificateholder hereunder; provided, however, that unless a Certificate
Insurer Default is continuing the successor to the Master Servicer appointed
pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be acceptable to the Certificate Insurer and
shall have accepted the duties of Master Servicer effective upon the resignation
or termination of the Master Servicer. If an Event of Default described in
clause (vi) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice to the Master
Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights
and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the
Trust Fund, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder; provided,
however, that (i) if the Trustee determines (in its sole discretion) that the
failure by the Master Servicer to make any required Advance was due to
circumstances beyond its control, and the required Advance was otherwise made,
the Trustee shall not terminate the Master Servicer and (ii) if the Certificate
Insurer makes such required Advance the Trustee shall not terminate the Master
Servicer without the consent of the Certificate Insurer. On or after the receipt
by the Master Servicer of such notice, all authority and power of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other
than as a holder thereof) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and
be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without
limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Master 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 at the expense of the
Master Servicer. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate (and pay any related
costs and expenses) with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation,
the transfer to the Trustee or its appointed agent for administration by it of
all cash amounts which shall at the time be deposited by the Master Servicer or
should have been
-86-
deposited to the Custodial or the Certificate Account or thereafter be received
with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have
breached any obligation hereunder as a result of a failure to make or delay in
making any distribution as and when required hereunder caused by the failure of
the Master Servicer to remit any amounts received on it or to deliver any
documents held by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans. For purposes of this
Section 7.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of
Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in
the Trustee's Corporate Trust Division has actual knowledge thereof or unless
notice of any event which is in fact such an Event of Default is received by the
Trustee and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this
Agreement.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of Imperial Credit
Industries, Inc. ("Imperial") in its capacity as Master Servicer hereunder,
Imperial shall be entitled to receive, out of any Late Collection of a Monthly
Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating
Imperial's rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and received
after such notice, that portion to which Imperial would have been entitled
pursuant to Sections 3.11(ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (viii) and Section
4.01(c)(iv) as well as its Servicing Fee in respect thereof, and any other
amounts payable to Imperial 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 Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01 (i)-(v), the Certificate Insurer may
appoint a successor Master Servicer and if the Certificate Insurer fails to do
so, on and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 7.01(vi) the Trustee or its appointed agent shall be the
successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master
Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein and shall be subject thereafter to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer including the
obligation to make Advances which have been or will be required to be made
(except for the responsibilities, duties and liabilities contained in Section
2.03 and its obligations to deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to
Section 3.12 and 4.01(f)) by the terms and provisions hereof; and provided
further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by
the Master Servicer's failure to provide information required by Section 4.03
shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage
Loans which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the
Custodial Account and the Certificate Account if the Master Servicer had
continued to act hereunder. If the Trustee has become the successor to the
Master Servicer in accordance with Section 6.04 or Section 7.02, then
notwithstanding the above, if the Trustee shall be unwilling or unable to so act
the Certificate Insurer may appoint a successor Master Servicer and if the
Certificate Insurer fails to do so, the
-87-
Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so
act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction or appoint, any
established housing and home finance institution, which is also a FNMA- or
FHLMC-approved mortgage servicing institution, having a net worth of not less
than $10,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Master Servicer hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master
Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall 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 that permitted the Master Servicer
hereunder. Each the Seller, the Trustee and such successor shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such succession.
Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Master Servicer shall
maintain in force during its term as master servicer hereunder policies and
fidelity bonds to the same extent as the Master Servicer is so required pursuant
to Section 3.18.
SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any such termination or appointment of a successor to the
Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt notice thereof to
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each
such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived.
SECTION 7.04. Waiver of Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights of
Certificates affected by a default or Event of Default hereunder, may waive such
default or Event of Default with the consent of the Certificate Insurer, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (other than an Event of Default set
forth in Section 7.01 (vi)); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (a) a default or Event of
Default under clause (i) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the
Holders of Certificates affected by such default or Event of Default and (b) no
waiver pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall affect the Holders of Certificates in
the manner set forth in the third paragraph of Section 11.01 or materially
adversely affect any non-consenting Certificateholder. Upon any such waiver of a
default or Event of Default by the Certificate Insurer or the Holders
representing the requisite percentage of Voting Rights of Certificates affected
by such default or Event of Default with the consent of the Certificate Insurer
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), such default or Event of
Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed
-88-
to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
-89-
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 which may have occurred, undertakes to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use
the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. Any
permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this Agreement shall not be
construed as a duty.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found
not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the
Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument
corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee's satisfaction,
the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer.
The Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust Fund any tax return that
the Trustee is required to sign pursuant to applicable federal, state or local
tax laws.
The Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall perform its obligations
hereunder in a manner so as to maintain the status of the Trust Fund as a REMIC
under the REMIC Provisions and to prevent the imposition of any federal, state
or local income, prohibited transaction, contribution or other tax on the Trust
Fund to the extent that maintaining such status and avoiding such taxes are
reasonably within the control of the Trustee and are reasonably within the scope
of its duties under this Agreement.
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 misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the
curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the
duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by
the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be
liable except for the performance of such
-90-
duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the
part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee
and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee
was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to
any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith
in accordance with the direction of the Certificate Insurer or Holders
of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights 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.
SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(a) 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 reasonably believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel 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 therewith;
(c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to make any
investigation of matters arising hereunder or to institute, conduct or
defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order
or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions
of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the
Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained
herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not
-91-
been cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise
as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of his own affairs;
(d) 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;
(e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after
the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee
shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or
document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Certificate Insurer
or Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights;
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 taking any such action.
The reasonable expense of every such reasonable examination shall be paid
by the Master Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the
Master Servicer upon demand; and
(f) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys.
SECTION 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
signature of the Trustee on the Certificates and the Certificate of
Authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or the Master
Servicer, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for
their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the
validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any
Mortgage Loan or related document (other than the signature of the Trustee on
the Certificates and the Certificate of Authentication). The Trustee shall not
be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or the Master
Servicer of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or
for the use or application of any funds paid to the Seller in respect of the
Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Custodial Account or the
Certificate Account or any other account by or on behalf of the Depositor or the
Master Servicer, other than any funds held by or on behalf of the Trustee in
accordance with Section 3.10.
-92-
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 it would have if it were
not Trustee.
SECTION 8.05. Trustee's Fees.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw
from the Certificate Account as compensation hereunder the Trustee Fees. Such
compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to
the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) shall be paid for all
services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the
exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder or of the
Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Trustee and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the Trust Fund against any claim, loss, liability or expense
incurred in connection with any Event of Default, any breach of this Agreement
or any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal
action) relating to the acceptance or administration of its trusts hereunder or
the Certificates, other than any claim, loss, liability or expense (i) sustained
in connection with this Agreement related to the willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence of the Master Servicer in the performance of its duties hereunder
or (ii) incurred in connection with a breach constituting willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence of the Trustee in the performance of its duties
hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties
hereunder.
The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Trustee against any such claim or legal action
(including any pending or threatened claim or legal action), loss, liability or
expense that may be sustained in connection with this Agreement related to the
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the Master
Xxxxxxxx's duties hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement.
SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or a
national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of any
state or the United States of America or the District of Columbia, authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority. In addition, the Trustee shall at all times be
acceptable to each Rating Agency rating the Certificates and reasonably
acceptable to the Certificate Insurer. If such corporation publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant
-93-
to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and
surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect specified in Section 8.07. The corporation or national
banking association serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust
relationships with the Seller and their affiliates or the Master Servicer and
its affiliates; provided, however, that such corporation cannot be an affiliate
of the Master Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the
Master Servicer.
SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Certificate Insurer and to all Certificateholders; provided, that such
resignation shall not be effective until a successor trustee is appointed and
accepts appointment in accordance with the following provisions. Upon receiving
such notice of resignation, the Master Servicer shall, with the consent of the
Certificate Insurer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, promptly
appoint a successor trustee who meets the eligibility requirements of Section
8.06 by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to
the resigning Trustee and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument
shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer and the
Master Servicer by the Depositor. If no successor trustee shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the Certificate Insurer may appoint a successor Trustee
and if the Certificate Insurer fails to do so, the resigning Trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee; provided, however, that the resigning Trustee shall not resign and be
discharged from the trusts hereby created until such time as each Rating Agency
rating the Certificates approves the successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Certificate Insurer or the Master Servicer with the
consent of the Certificate Insurer, which consent shall not be reasonably
withheld, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or
shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, or if the rating of the long-term debt obligations
of the Trustee is not acceptable to each Rating Agency in respect of mortgage
pass-through certificates having a rating equal to the then current rating on
the Certificates, then the Certificate Insurer or the Master Servicer with the
consent of the Certificate Insurer, which consent shall not be reasonably
withheld, may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee who meets the
eligibility requirements of Section 8.06 by written
-94-
instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be
delivered to the Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer and the Master
Servicer by the Depositor.
The Certificate Insurer or Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 51% of the Voting Rights, with the consent of the Certificate Insurer
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), may at any time remove the
Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in
triplicate, signed by the Certificate Insurer or such Holders or their
attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall
be delivered to the Master Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed
and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument
shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer and the
Depositor by the Master Servicer.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not
become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.
SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Insurer
and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee
shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor
trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it
hereunder, and the Master 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 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section, the Master Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to the Certificate Insurer and to all Holders of Certificates
at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Master Servicer
fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at
the expense of the Master Servicer.
-95-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as
no Certificate Insurer Default exists, the appointment of any successor trustee
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement will be subject to the prior consent
of the Certificate Insurer.
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 such corporation shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute
and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the
Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and
to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust
Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section
8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor and
the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Depositor shall not have
joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request
so to do, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee
or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility
as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of
Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be
required under Section 8.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, 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 Master 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 Trust Fund or any
portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by
such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
-96-
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article 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.
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.
-97-
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01. Termination Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of All
Mortgage Loans.
Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created
hereby (other than the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 8.05 and of the Master Servicer to provide for and the
Trustee to make payments to Certificateholders as hereafter set forth) shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on
behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them hereunder following the
earlier to occur of (i) the repurchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property in respect thereof remaining in REMIC I at a price
equal to (a) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan (other
than one as to which a REO Property was acquired) on the day of repurchase
together with accrued interest on such unpaid principal balance at the Net
Mortgage Rate to the first day of the month in which the proceeds of such
repurchase are to be distributed, plus (b) the appraised value of any REO
Property (but not more than the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage
Loan, together with accrued interest on that balance at the Net Mortgage Rate to
the first day of the month such repurchase price is distributed), less the good
faith estimate of the Master Servicer of liquidation expenses to be incurred in
connection with its disposal thereof, such appraisal to be conducted by an
appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Trustee at the
expense of the Master Servicer, plus (c) any amounts due to the Certificate
Insurer under the Insurance Agreement, and (ii) the final payment or other
liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund (or the disposition of all REO Property in respect
thereof); provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby
continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor
of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United
States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof. In the case of any
repurchase by the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (i), the Master Servicer
shall include in such repurchase price the amount of any Advances that will be
reimbursed to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(iii) and the Master
Servicer shall exercise reasonable efforts to cooperate fully with the Trustee
in effecting such repurchase and the transfer of the Mortgage Loans and related
Mortgage Files and related records to the Master Servicer. To the extent that
the Class A Certificates are outstanding, if the Master Servicer fails to
exercise its right of repurchase the Certificate Insurer may exercise the rights
of the Master Servicer to purchase the remaining Mortgage Loans as provided
herein.
The right of the Master Servicer to repurchase all Mortgage Loans
pursuant to (i) above shall be conditioned upon the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of such Mortgage
-98-
Loans at the time of any such repurchase aggregating an amount equal to or less
than 5% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the
Cut-off Date. If such right is exercised, the Master Servicer upon such
repurchase shall provide to the Trustee, the certification required by Section
3.16.
Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon which
the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for
payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by
the Master Servicer by letter to the Trustee and the Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection
with the Master Servicer's election to repurchase, not earlier than the 15th day
and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such
final distribution or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution
on or before the Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i)
the Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates will be made
upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Certificate
Registrar therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar therein specified. In
the event such notice is given in connection with the Master Servicer's election
to repurchase, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in
the Certificate Account on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Distribution Date specified in such notice an amount equal to the
above-described repurchase price payable out of its own funds. Upon presentation
and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall
distribute to the Certificateholders and to the Certificate Insurer (i) the
amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date, if not in connection
with the Master Servicer's election to repurchase, or (ii) if the Master
Servicer elected to so repurchase, an amount determined as follows: with respect
to each Class A Certificate, the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance
thereof, plus one month's interest thereon at the related Pass-Through Rate and
any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest; with respect to each Class S
Certificate, one month's interest on the Notional Amount thereof at the related
Pass-Through Rate and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest; and
with respect to the Class R-I Certificates, the Percentage Interest evidenced
thereby multiplied by the difference, if any, between the above described
repurchase price and the aggregate amount to be distributed to the Holders of
the Senior Certificates. Upon certification to the Trustee by a Servicing
Officer, following such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release the
Mortgage Files as directed by the Master Servicer for the remaining Mortgage
Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other
instruments required by the Master Servicer as being necessary to effectuate
such transfer.
In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the time specified
in the above-mentioned notice, the Trustee shall give a second notice to the
remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
-99-
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within six months after the second notice all of the Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take
reasonable steps as directed by the Depositor, or appoint an agent to take
reasonable steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the
funds and other assets which remain subject hereto. If within nine months after
the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Residual Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed
funds and other assets which remain subject hereto.
SECTION 9.02. Termination of REMIC II.
REMIC II shall be terminated on the earlier of the final distribution
in respect of the Certificates and to the Certificate Insurer made pursuant to
Section 9.01 and the date on which it is deemed to receive the last deemed
distributions on the Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interests and the last
distribution due on the Class S, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class R-I
Certificates is made.
SECTION 9.03. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event the Master Servicer repurchases the Mortgage Loans as
provided in Section 9.01, REMIC I or REMIC II shall be terminated in accordance
with the following additional requirements, unless the Master Servicer, at its
own expense, obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section
9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on the net income derived
from "prohibited transactions" of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F of
the Code or (ii) cause REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding:
(i) The Trustee shall establish a 90-day liquidation period for the
Trust Fund and specify the first day of such period in a statement attached
to the Trust Fund's final Tax Return pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.860F-1. The Trustee shall satisfy all the requirements of a
qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations
thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel obtained at the expense
of the Master Servicer;
(ii) During such 90-day liquidation period, and at or prior to the
time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee shall
sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund for cash; and
(iii) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
distributed or credited, to the Holders
-100-
of the Class R-I and the Class R-II Certificates all cash on hand (other
than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund shall terminate at
that time.
(b) By their acceptance of the Class R-I or the Class R-II
Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to authorize the Trustee to
specify the 90-day liquidation period for the Trust Fund, respectively, which
authorization shall be binding upon all successor Class R-I and Class R-II
Certificateholders.

ARTICLE X
REMIC PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01. REMIC Administration.
(a) The Trustee will make an election to treat REMIC I and REMIC II as
a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. Such
election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or
information return or any appropriate state return for the taxable year ending
on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued.
Neither the Policy, the Insurance Account nor any payment under the Policy shall
be a part of the Trust Fund. For purposes of the REMIC II election in respect of
the Trust Fund, the Class S Certificates, Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 and
Class A-3 Certificates shall be designated as the "regular interests" and the
Class R-II Certificates shall be designated as the sole Class of "residual
interest" in REMIC II. For purposes of the REMIC Election of REMIC I,
Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interest X and Uncertificated REMIC I Regular
Interests Z shall be designated the "regular interests" and the Class R-I
Certificates shall be designated as the sole class of "residual interests" in
REMIC I. The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall not permit the creation of
any "interests" in REMIC II (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code)
other than the REMIC I Regular Interests.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day" of
REMIC I and REMIC II within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The Trustee shall pay out of its own funds, without any right of
reimbursement, any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of both REMIC I
and REMIC II (including, but not limited to, any professional fees or any
administrative or judicial proceedings with respect thereto that involved the
Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities), other than the expense of
obtaining any tax related Opinion of Counsel not obtained in connection with
such an audit and other than taxes, in either case except as specified herein;
provided, however, that if such audit resulted from the negligence of the Master
Servicer or the Depositor, then the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as the
case may be, shall pay such expenses. The Trustee shall hold a Class R-I and a
Class R-II Certificate, representing a 0.01% Percentage Interest of all Class
R-I and Class R-II Certificates and shall be designated as the tax matters
person with respect to both REMIC I and REMIC II in the manner provided under
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) and Temporary Treasury Regulations
Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1T. The Trustee, as tax matters person, shall (i) act on
behalf of both REMIC I and REMIC II in relation to any tax matter or controversy
involving either REMIC I or REMIC II and (ii) represent both REMIC I or REMIC II
in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit
by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. To the extent
authorized under the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, each
Holder of a Class R-I or a
-102-
Class R-II Certificate, hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Trustee
to be its attorney-in-fact for purposes of signing any Tax Returns required to
be filed on behalf of either REMIC I or REMIC II.
(d) The Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared, sign and file
all of the Tax Returns of either REMIC I or REMIC II, other than Tax Returns
required to be filed by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.05. The
expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee
without any right of reimbursement therefor.
(e) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of each of REMIC I or REMIC II
all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of
each of REMIC I or REMIC II under the Code, REMIC Provisions or other compliance
guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing
authority. Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions
or other such compliance guidance, the Trustee shall provide (i) to any
Transferor of a Class R-I or a Class R-II Certificate such information as is
necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Class R-I
or a Class R-II Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee,
(ii) Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code
or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue
discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption) and
(iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone
number of the person who will serve as the representative of each of REMIC I and
REMIC II. In addition, 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 reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes as
to the valuations and issue prices of the Certificates, including, without
limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flow of
the Certificates.
(f) The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause each of REMIC I
and XXXXX XX created hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to
create or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (and
the Master Servicer shall assist it, to the extent reasonably requested by it).
The Trustee shall not take any action, cause each of REMIC I and REMIC II to
take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that,
under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i)
endanger the status of each of REMIC I and REMIC II as a REMIC or (ii) result in
the imposition of a tax upon each of REMIC I and REMIC II (including but not
limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2)
of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d)
of the Code) (either such event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee
received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such
action but in no event shall such Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the
Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to
REMIC I and XXXXX XX created hereunder, endanger such status or result in the
imposition of
-103-
such a tax. The Master Servicer shall not take or fail to take any action
(whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has advised it in
writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel (which such Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee) to the effect that an Adverse
REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. In addition, prior to
taking any action with respect to REMIC I and REMIC II or its assets, or causing
REMIC I or REMIC II to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under
the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer will consult with the Trustee
or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an
Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to REMIC I or REMIC II, and the Master
Servicer shall not take any such action or cause REMIC I or REMIC II to take any
such action as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that an Adverse
REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee may consult with counsel to make such
written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take
the action not permitted by this Agreement (but in no event shall such cost be
an expense of the Trustee). At all times as may be required by the Code, the
Trustee will ensure that substantially all of the assets of REMIC I or REMIC II
will consist of "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code and "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions"
of the Trust Fund created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the
Code, on "net income from foreclosure property" of the Trust Fund as defined in
Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to the Trust Fund after the
Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax
is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws,
such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof,
if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its
obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the
Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Article X,
or otherwise (iii) against amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account and
shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.
(h) On or before April 15 of each calendar year, commencing April 15,
1996, the Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency a
Certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Trustee stating the Trustee's
compliance with this Article X.
(i) The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall, for federal income tax
purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the Trust Fund on a
calendar year and on an accrual basis.
(j) Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept any
contributions of assets to the Trust Fund unless it shall have received an
Opinion of Counsel (which such Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trustee) to the effect that the inclusion of
-104-
such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject the
Trust Fund to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions
of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(k) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any
arrangement by which the Trust Fund will receive a fee or other compensation for
services nor permit either such REMIC to receive any income from assets other
than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or
"permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(l) Solely for purposes of satisfying Section 1.860-G1(a)(4)(iii) of
the Treasury Regulations, the "latest possible maturity date" by which the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of each Uncertificated REMIC I Regular Interest
would be reduced to zero is September 25, 2024, which is the Distribution Date
immediately following the latest scheduled maturity of any Mortgage Loan. Solely
for purposes of satisfying Section 1.860-G1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury
Regulations, the "latest possible maturity date" for the Uncertificated REMIC I
Regular Interests is designated as the "latest possible maturity date" of the
Class S, Class A-1, Class A--2 and Class A-3 Certificates.
SECTION 10.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
Neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall sell,
dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in connection
with (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the
acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of
foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of the
Trust Fund pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement or (iv) a purchase of
Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or III of this Agreement, nor acquire any
assets for the Trust Fund, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the
Custodial Account or the Certificate Account for gain, nor accept any
contributions to the Trust Fund after the Closing Date unless it has received an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such sale,
disposition, substitution or acquisition but in no event shall such Opinion of
Counsel be an expense of the Trustee) that such sale, disposition, substitution
or acquisition will not (a) affect adversely the status of the Trust Fund as a
REMIC or (b) cause the Trust Fund to be subject to a tax on "prohibited
transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
SECTION 10.03. Master Servicer and Trustee Indemnification.
(a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor and
the Master Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any
reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the
Depositor or the Master Servicer, as a result of a breach by the Trustee with
respect to the Trustee's covenants set forth in this Article X.
-105-
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the
Depositor and the Trustee for any taxes and costs (including, without
limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees) imposed on or incurred by the Trust
Fund, the Depositor or the Trustee, as a result of a breach of the Master
Servicer's covenants set forth in this Article X or in Article III with respect
to compliance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, any
penalties arising from the Trustee's execution of Tax Returns prepared by the
Master Servicer that contain errors or omissions.

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall
furnish a statement describing the amendment to each Certificateholder.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under

proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust Fund, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund
consisting primarily of a pool of fixed rate residential

DLJ MORTGAGE ACCEPTANCE CORP.
This certifies that ______________________________ is the registered
owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Trust Fund
established under a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above
(the "Agreement"), among DLJ Mortgage Acceptance Corp. (hereinafter called the
"Depositor", which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement),
Imperial Credit Industries, Inc. (the "Master Servicer"), and Bankers Trust
Company (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of
which is set forth hereafter. The Certificates of the Series specified above
(collectively, the "Certificates") evidence in the aggregate the entire
beneficial ownership interest in a segregated pool of assets created pursuant to
the Agreement (the "Trust Fund") comprised of conventional one- to four-family
residential first mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), or interests therein,
and certain other assets as described herein. To the extent not defined herein,
the capitalized terms used
-3-
herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued
under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement,
to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
The Trustee shall distribute or cause to be distributed on the 25th
day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following (each, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on the First
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month
immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record Date"), from
the Available Distribution Amount an amount equal to the product of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be
distributed to the Holders of Class [S] [A-_] Certificates on such Distribution
Date pursuant to the Agreement. [The Notional Amount of the Class [S]]
Certificates as of any date of determination will be determined pursuant to the
Agreement. The Class [S] Certificates have no Certificate Principal Balance.]
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate and the
Agreement set forth herein, which further provisions shall for all purposes have
the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates of
the series and class specified on the face hereof (herein called the
"Certificates"). The Certificates in the aggregate represent the entire
beneficial interest in: (i) the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of payments of
principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date) as from time to time
are subject to the Agreement and all payments under and proceeds of the Mortgage
Loans, together with all documents included in the related Mortgage File; (ii)
such funds or assets as from time to time are deposited in the Certificate
Account or the Custodial Account; (iii) any REO Property; and (iv) the Primary
Hazard Insurance Policies, if any, and all other insurance policies with respect
to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Agreement; and
(v) the Depositor's interest in respect of the representations and warranties
made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (all of the foregoing
being hereinafter collectively called the "Trust Fund").
MBIA Insurance Corporation (the "Certificate Insurer") has issued a
certificate insurance policy (the "Certificate Insurance Policy") with respect
to the Senior Certificates, a copy of which is attached to the Agreement.
All distributions will be made or caused to be made by the Trustee
either in immediately available funds (i) by check mailed to the address of the
Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the
Certificate Register, (ii) by wire transfer to the account of such Person at the
request of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the
Trustee in writing by 5 Business Days prior to the applicable Record Date and
such Certificateholder is the registered holder of Certificates the aggregate
Initial Certificate Principal Balance of which is not less than $2,500,000, (or,
with respect to the Class S Certificates is the registered holder of an initial
Certificate Notional Amount of not less than $10,000,000 of such Class), or
(iii) in such other manner as shall be agreed by the Trustee and such Person
entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this
Certificate will be made after
-4-
due notice by the Master Servicer of the pendency of such distribution and only
upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office of the
Trustee. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent
of distributions allocable to principal and any Realized Losses allocable
hereto.
The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any Sub-Servicer and are not
insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by any
other person or entity. The Certificates are limited in right of payment to
certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans and the
Certificate Insurance Policy, all as more specifically set forth herein and in
the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial
Account or Certificate Account may be made by the Master Servicer from time to
time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement to the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain
expenses incurred, by it, or by the Depositor, by the Trustee or by any
Sub-Servicer.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor and the Master Servicer and the rights of the Certificateholders under
the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, and the Trustee
with the consent of the Certificate Insurer and the Holders of Certificates and
Insurer entitled to at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by
the Holder of 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 hereof 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 upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an
assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Xxxxxx's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
initial Certificate Principal Balance will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.
[No transfer of any Class A-3 Certificate shall be made to any
employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement including individual
retirement accounts and Xxxxx plans, that is subject to Section 406 of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") (any of
foregoing, a "Plan"), to any Person acting on behalf of a Plan, or to any other
person who is using "plan assets" to effect such acquisition (including any
insurance company using funds in its general or separate accounts that may
constitute "plan assets"), unless the prospective transferee of a
Certificateholder desiring to transfer its Certificates provides an Opinion of
Counsel (or, in the limited circumstances described in the Agreement, a
certification of facts) which establishes to the satisfaction of the Depositor
and the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such disposition will not
violate the prohibited transaction provisions of Section
-5-
406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. In the case of any transfer of the
foregoing Certificates to an insurance company, in lieu of such Opinion of
Counsel, the Trustee shall require a certification in the form of Exhibit G-5 to
the Agreement.]
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only and in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate initial Certificate Principal Balance, 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 that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to
the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the repurchase by the Master Servicer
of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property in respect thereof, or (ii) the
final payment on, or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of,
the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund (or the disposition of all
REO Property in respect thereof). The Agreement permits, but does not require,
the Master Servicer (or the Certificate Insurer, if the Senior Certificates are
outstanding and if there is an Event of Default by the Master Servicer under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement) to repurchase from the Trust Fund all Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price
determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect
early retirement of the Certificates; however, the Master Servicer's right to
repurchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans at the time of repurchase being less than or equal to 5% of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor or the Master Servicer as the case may be.

certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to
the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions 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 (a "Distribution Date"), commencing on the
First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this

Date"), from the Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product
of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required
to be distributed to the Holders of Class [R-I] [R-II] Certificates on such
Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All distributions under the Agreement on the Class [R-I] [R-II]
Certificates will be made or caused to be made by the Trustee by check mailed to
the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall
appear on the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final
distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Master
Servicer of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and
surrender of this Certificate at the office of the Trustee.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the series specified on the
face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing the Percentage
Interest specified on the face hereof in the Class [R-I] [R-II] Certificates.
The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any Sub-Servicer and are not
insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by any
other person or entity. The Certificates are limited in right of payment to
certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account or Certificate Account may be
made by the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes other than
distributions to Certificateholders, such
-4-
purposes including reimbursement to the Master Servicer of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred by it, by the Depositor, by the Trustee or by any
Sub-Servicer.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the
Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the
Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and

the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor 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

transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an
assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Xxxxxx's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No transfer of any Class [R-I] [R-II] Certificate shall be made unless
that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
1933 Act and effective registration or qualification under applicable state
securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such
registration or qualification. In the event that a transfer is to be made within
three years from the initial issuance of the Certificates pursuant to the
Agreement and without registration or qualification, (a) the Trustee shall
require that the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee each certify to the Trustee in
writing the facts surrounding the transfer and (b) the Depositor may direct the
Trustee to require an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Depositor and the
Trustee that such transfer may be made without such registration or
qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Depositor, the Trustee or the Master Servicer. Neither the Depositor nor the
Trustee is obligated to register or qualify any of the Class [R-I] [R-II]
Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any
action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any such Certificateholder
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trustee, the Depositor and the Master 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 any Class [R-I] [R-II] Certificate shall be made to any
employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement, including individual
retirement accounts and Xxxxx plans, that is subject to the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") (any of foregoing, a "Plan"),
to any Person acting on behalf of a Plan, or to any other person who is using
"plan assets" to effect such acquisition (including any insurance company using
funds in its general or separate accounts that may constitute "plan assets"),
unless
-5-
the prospective transferee of a Certificateholder desiring to transfer its
Certificates provides to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar an Opinion of
Counsel (or, in the limited circumstances described in the Agreement, a
certification of facts) which establishes to the satisfaction of the Depositor
and the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such disposition will not
violate the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA and
Section 4975 of the Code. In the case of any transfer of the foregoing
Certificates to an insurance company, in lieu of such Opinion of Counsel, the
Trustee shall require a certification in the form of Exhibit G-5 to the
Agreement.
The Class [R-I] [R-II] Certificates are issuable in fully registered
form without coupons, in minimum denominations evidencing a 5% Percentage
Interest (except as provided in the Agreement). As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth (including limitations on the

The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created

purchase being less than or equal to 5% of the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date.

Re: Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,

Ladies and Gentlemen:
_________________________ (the "Purchaser") intends to purchase from
(the "Seller") $ Initial Certificate Principal Balance of Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1995-5, Class (the "Certificates"), issued pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), dated
as of November 1, 1995 among DLJ Mortgage Acceptance Corp., as seller (the
"Company"), Imperial Credit Industries, Inc., as master servicer, and Bankers
Trust Company, as trustee (the "Trustee"). All terms used herein and not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The Purchaser hereby certifies, represents and warrants to, and
covenants with, the Company and the Trustee that:
1. The Purchaser understands that (a) the Certificates have not
been and will not be registered or qualified under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act") or any state securities law, (b) the
Company is not required to so register or qualify the Certificates,
(c) the Certificates may be resold only if registered and qualified
pursuant to the provisions of the Act or any state securities law, or
if an exemption from such registration and qualification is available,
(d) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement contains restrictions
regarding the transfer of the Certificates and (e) the Certificates
will bear a legend to the foregoing effect.
2. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates for its own
account for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in
connection with any distribution thereof in any manner that would
violate the Act or any applicable state securities laws.
3. The Purchaser is (a) a substantial, sophisticated
institutional investor having such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters,
-2-
and, in particular, in such matters related to securities similar to
the Certificates, such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of investment in the Certificates, (b) able to bear the economic
risks of such an investment and (c) an "accredited investor" within
the meaning of Rule 501(a) promulgated pursuant to the Act.
4. The Purchaser has been furnished with, and has had an
opportunity to review (a) [a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum,
dated , 19 , relating to the Certificates (b)] a copy of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement and [b] [c] such other information concerning
the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and the Company as has been
requested by the Purchaser from the Company or the Seller and is
relevant to the Purchaser's decision to purchase the Certificates. The
Purchaser has had any questions arising from such review answered by
the Company or the Seller to the satisfaction of the Purchaser. If the
Purchaser did not purchase the Certificates from the Seller in
connection with the initial distribution of the Certificates and was
provided with a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum (the
"Memorandum") relating to the original sale (the "Original Sale") of
the Certificates by the Company, the Purchaser acknowledges that such
Memorandum was provided to it by the Seller, that the Memorandum was
prepared by the Company solely for use in connection with the Original
Sale and the Company did not participate in or facilitate in any way
the purchase of the Certificates by the Purchaser from the Seller, and
the Purchaser agrees that it will look solely to the Seller and not to
the Company with respect to any damage, liability, claim or expense
arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (a) error or
omission, or alleged error or omission, contained in the Memorandum,
or (b) any information, development or event arising after the date of
the Memorandum.
5. The Purchaser has not and will not nor has it authorized or
will it authorize any person to (a) offer, pledge, sell, dispose of or
otherwise transfer any Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or
any other similar security to any person in any manner, (b) solicit
any offer to buy or to accept a pledge, disposition of other transfer
of any Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any other
similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approach
or negotiate with respect to any Certificate, any interest in any
Certificate or any other similar security with any person in any
manner, (d) make any general solicitation by means of general
advertising or in any other manner or (e) take any other action, that
(as to any of (a) through (e) above) would constitute a distribution
of any Certificate under the Act, that would render the disposition of
any Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Act or any state
securities law, or that would require registration or qualification
pursuant thereto. The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer
any of the Certificates, except in compliance with the provisions of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
6. The Purchaser is not any employee benefit plan subject to the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"),
or
-3-
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), nor a
Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such plan, or
who is using "plan assets" of any such plan to acquire such
Certificates (including any insurance company using funds in its
general or separate accounts that may constitute "plan assets") (each
of the foregoing, a "Plan") and understands that registration of
transfer of any Certificate to any Plan will not be made unless such
Plan delivers an opinion of its counsel, addressed and satisfactory to
the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer, to the effect that
the purchase and holding of a Certificate by or on behalf of such Plan
would not result in the assets of the Trust Estate being deemed to be
"plan assets" and subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions
of ERISA or the prohibited transaction provisions of the Code (or
comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), would not
constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and would not subject the Company,
the Master Servicer or the Trustee to any obligation or liability
(including liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in
addition to those undertaken in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or
any other liability. In the case of any transfer of the foregoing
Certificate to an insurance company, in lieu of such opinion of
counsel the Trustee shall require a certification from the Purchaser
in the form of Exhibit G-5 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The
Purchaser understands that under current law such an opinion cannot be
rendered.

in the Rule 144A Securities or any other similar security with, any person in
