PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
The Depositor intends to sell residential mortgage-backed certificates
(collectively, the "Certificates"), to be issued hereunder in three classes
(each, a "Class"), which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust Fund (as defined herein), consisting primarily

provided herein, the Trustee will make an election to treat the Trust Fund
(other than the Reserve Fund) as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a
"REMIC") for federal income tax purposes. The Class A and Class B Certificates
(as defined herein) will represent ownership of "regular interests" in the
REMIC, and the Class R Certificates will constitute the sole Class of "residual
interest" in the REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein)
under federal income tax law.
The following table sets forth the designation, type, aggregate
Original Security Balance (as defined herein), maturity date, initial ratings
and certain features for each Class of Certificates comprising the interests in

Certificates, are subject and subordinate to the preferential rights of the
Class A Certificateholders to receive payments in respect of the Class A
Certificates and to the Certificate Insurer's rights to be reimbursed for
Insured Payments together with interest thereon at the rate specified herein or
in the Insurance Agreement. In accordance with the foregoing, the ownership
interest of the Class B and Class R Certificateholders in amounts deposited in
the Certificate Account from time to time shall not vest unless and until such
amounts are distributed in respect of the Class B and Class R Certificates in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) It is intended that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the
Depositor to the Trustee as provided in this Section be, and be construed as, a
sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholders. It is, further, not intended that such conveyance be
deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure
a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that the
Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, or if for any reason
this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage
Loans, then it is intended that, (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a
security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable
jurisdiction; (b) the conveyance provided for in this Section shall be deemed to
be (1) a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of
the Depositor's right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and
interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the Mortgage
Loans, including the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related insurance
policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage Files, (B) all amounts
payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms
thereof and (C) all
-25-
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Certificate Account or the
Collection Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or
other property and (2) an assignment by the Depositor to the Trustee of any
security interest in any and all of the Originator'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 (C) granted by the Originator to the Depositor pursuant to the 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, at the Depositor's direction, the Originator and the Trustee
shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable
actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to
create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, 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 POSSESSION OF MORTGAGE FILES; ACCESS TO MORTGAGE FILES.
(a) Upon the issuance of the Certificates, the ownership of each Mortgage Note,
the Mortgage and the contents of the Mortgage File related to each Mortgage Loan
is vested in the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer.
(b) Pursuant to Section ____ of the Purchase Agreement, the Depositor
has delivered or caused to be delivered the Mortgage File related to each
Mortgage Loan to the Trustee.
(c) The Trustee may enter into a custodial agreement pursuant to which
the Trustee will appoint a custodian (a "Custodian") to hold the Mortgage Files
in trust for the benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer; provided, however, that the custodian so appointed shall in
no event be the Depositor or the Master Servicer or any Person known to a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee to be an Affiliate of the Depositor or the
Master Servicer. The Trustee hereby appoints ___________________ as the initial
Custodian.
(d) The Custodian shall afford the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer
and the Master Servicer reasonable access to all records and documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans relating to this Agreement, such access being
afforded at customary charges, upon reasonable request and during normal
business hours at the offices of the Custodian.
Section 2.03 DELIVERY OF MORTGAGE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND CERTIFICATE
INSURANCE POLICY. (a) In connection with each conveyance pursuant to Section
2.01 hereof, the Depositor has delivered or does hereby agree to deliver or
cause to be
-26-
delivered to the Trustee on or before the Closing Date, the Certificate
Insurance Policy, the Mortgage Loan Schedule and each of the following documents
for each Mortgage Loan sold by the Originator to the Depositor and sold by the
Depositor to the Trust Fund:
(i) The original Mortgage Note bearing all intervening endorsements
showing a complete chain of endorsements from the originator of such
Mortgage Loan to the Originator, endorsed by the Originator without
recourse in the following form: "Pay to the order of, without recourse"
and signed in the name of the Originator by an authorized officer;
(ii) The original Mortgage with evidence of recording indicated
thereon;
(iii) An original assignment of the original Mortgage, in suitable
form for recordation in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged
Property is located, such assignment to be in blank and signed in the name

issued with respect to such Mortgage Loan;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that as to certain Mortgages or assignments thereof
which have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices for
recording and have not been returned to the Originator in time to permit their
delivery hereunder at the time of such transfer, in lieu of delivering such
original documents, the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee a true copy
thereof with a certification by the Originator on the face of such copy
substantially as follows: "certified true and correct copy of original which
has been transmitted for recordation". The Originator will deliver such original
documents, together with any related policy of title insurance not previously
delivered, on behalf of the Depositor to the Trustee promptly after they are
received, but in any event no later than 120 days after the Closing Date. The
Depositor agrees, at its own expense, to record (or to provide the Trustee with
evidence of recordation thereof) each assignment referred to in clause (iii)
above promptly after the Closing Date in the appropriate public office for real
property records, provided that such assignments are redelivered by the Trustee
to the Originator upon the Originator's written request and at the Originator's
expense, unless the Originator (at its expense) furnishes to the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer and the Rating Agencies an unqualified Opinion of Counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that recordation of such
assignment is not necessary under applicable state law to preserve the Trustee's
interest in the related Mortgage Loan against the
-27-
claim of any subsequent transferee of such Mortgage Loan or any successor to, or
creditor of, the Originator.
Within a period of 14 days from the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
complete the endorsement of each Mortgage Note such that the final endorsement
appears in the following form:
"Pay to the order of ___________ as Trustee under that certain
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of ________, 199_,

also complete the endorsement of each Assignment of Mortgage and Assignment of
Leases, if any, such that the final Assignment of Mortgage appears in the
following form:
__________________, as Trustee under that certain Pooling and
Servicing Agreement dated as of _______, 199__, for
_______________, JV Capital Trust, Residential Mortgage-Backed
Certificates, Series 199_-_."
(b) In the event that any such original document is required pursuant
to the terms of this Section 2.03 to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document
shall be delivered promptly by the Depositor to the Trustee. In acting as
custodian of any such original document, the Master Servicer agrees further that
it does not and will not have or assert any beneficial ownership interest in the
Mortgage Loans or the Mortgage Files.

supplements thereto, as well as any other assets included in the definition of
Trust Fund and delivered to the Trustee, as Trustee in trust upon and subject to
the conditions set forth herein for the benefit of the Certificateholders and
the Certificate Insurer. The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, to review (or cause to be
reviewed) each Mortgage File within 45 Business Days after the Closing Date
(with respect to the Mortgage Loans), and to deliver to the Originator, the
Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Certificate Insurer a certification in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit F to the effect that, as to each Mortgage
Loan listed in the related 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 Section 2.03 are in its possession, (ii) each such
document has been reviewed by it and has not been mutilated, damaged, torn or
otherwise physically altered (handwritten additions, changes or corrections
shall not constitute physical alteration if initialed by the
-28-
Mortgagor), appears regular on its face and relates to such Mortgage Loan, and
(iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the
information set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as to the information set
forth in (i), (ii), (v), (vi), (x), (xi), (xiii), (xiv), (xv), (xx) and (xxii)
of the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" set forth herein accurately
reflects the information set forth in the Mortgage File delivered on such date.
The Trustee makes no representations as to and shall not be responsible to
verify (i) the validity, legality, enforceability, sufficiency, due
authorization, recordability or genuineness of any of the documents contained in
each Mortgage File or of any of the Mortgage Loans or (ii) the collectability,
insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any such Mortgage Loan.
By _________, 199_, the Trustee shall deliver (or cause to be
delivered) to the Master Servicer, the Originator, the Depositor and the
Certificate Insurer a final certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
G 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
Section 2.03 are in its possession, (ii) each such document has been reviewed by
it and has not been mutilated, damaged, torn or otherwise physically altered
(handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute physical
alteration if initialed by the Mortgagor), appears regular on its face and
relates to such Mortgage Loan, and (iii) based on its examination and only as to
the foregoing documents, the information set forth in (i), (ii), (v), (vi), (x),
(xi), (xiii), (xiv), (xv), (xx) and (xxii) of the definition of "Mortgage Loan
Schedule" set forth herein accurately reflects the information set forth in the
Mortgage File delivered on such date.
(b) If the Certificate Insurer or the Trustee during the process of
reviewing the Mortgage Files finds any document constituting a part of a
Mortgage File which is not executed, has not been received, is unrelated to the
Mortgage Loan identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, or does not
conform to the requirements of Section 2.03 or the description thereof as set
forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Trustee or the Certificate
Insurer, as applicable, shall promptly so notify the Master Servicer, the
Originator, the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee. In performing any such
review, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the Originator as to the purported
genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. It is understood
that the scope of the Trustee's review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely
to confirming that the documents listed in Section 2.03 have been executed and
received and relate to the Mortgage Files identified in the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule and such documents conform to the standard set forth in clause
(ii) of the paragraph directly above. The Trustee shall request that the
Originator cure any such defect within 60 days from the date on which the
Originator was notified of such defect, and if the Originator does not cure such
defect in all material respects during such period, request that the Originator
(i) substitute in lieu of such Mortgage Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.03 or
(ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan on the next succeeding Remittance Date (but not
later than 90 days after the discovery of such defect) at a purchase price equal
to the actual stated principal balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the date of
purchase, plus all accrued and unpaid interest on such principal balance
computed at the Mortgage Interest Rate, plus the amount of any unpaid Master
Servicing Fees, unreimbursed Periodic Advances and unreimbursed Servicing
Advances made by the Master Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan, which
purchase price shall be deposited in the Collection
-29-
Account on the same Business Day, after deducting therefrom any amounts received
in respect of such repurchased Mortgage Loan or Loans and being held in the
Collection Account for future distribution to the extent such amounts have not
yet been applied to principal or interest on such Mortgage Loan (the "Loan
Repurchase Price"). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the
Originator to so cure or purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a material
defect in or omission of a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such defect or omission available to Certificateholders or the
Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. In addition, it is understood and
agreed that the Depositor has assigned to the Trustee all of its rights under
the Purchase Agreement and the right to enforce any remedy against the
Originator as provided in Section 2.05 of the Purchase Agreement. For purposes
of calculating the amount the Master Servicer is required to remit on the
Remittance Date following such repurchase or substitution, any Loan Repurchase
Price or Substitution Adjustment that is paid and deposited in the related
Collection Account as provided above shall be deemed to have been deposited in
the related Collection Account in the Due Period preceding such Remittance Date.
(c) Upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification of a Servicing
Officer of such substitution or purchase and, in the case of a substitution,
upon receipt of the related Mortgage File, and the deposit of the amounts
described above in the Collection Account (which certification shall be in the
form of Exhibit H hereto), the Trustee shall release to the Master Servicer for
release to the Originator the related Mortgage File and shall execute, without
recourse, and deliver such instruments of transfer furnished by the Originator
as may be necessary to transfer such Mortgage Loan to the Originator. The
Trustee shall notify the Certificate Insurer if the Originator fails to
repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan in accordance with the foregoing.
Section 2.05 EXECUTION OF CERTIFICATES. The Trustee acknowledges the
assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans and the delivery of the Mortgage Files
relating thereto to it and, concurrently with such delivery, has executed,
authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange
for the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Files and the other assets included in the
definition of Trust Fund, Certificates duly authenticated by the Trustee in
Authorized Denominations evidencing the entire ownership of the Trust Fund.
Section 2.06 FURTHER ACTION EVIDENCING ASSIGNMENTS. (a) The
Depositor agrees that, from time to time, at the Originator's expense, the
Depositor shall cause the Originator promptly to execute and deliver all further
instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or
appropriate, or that the Master Servicer or the Trustee may reasonably request,
in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the transfer of ownership of
the Trust Fund or to enable the Trustee to exercise or enforce any of its rights
hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor will,
upon the request of the Master Servicer or of the Trustee execute and file (or
cause to be executed and filed) such real estate filings, financing or
continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such
other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate.
(b) The Depositor hereby grants to the Master Servicer and the Trustee
powers of attorney to execute all documents on its behalf under this Agreement
and the Purchase Agreement as may be necessary or desirable to effectuate the
foregoing.

and shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the

Section 3.03 PURCHASE AND SUBSTITUTION. (a) It is understood and
agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections ____ and
____ of the Purchase Agreement shall survive delivery of the Certificates to the
Certificateholders. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, with respect to any
representation or warranty contained in Sections ____ and ____ of the Purchase
Agreement that is made to the best of the Depositor's knowledge, if it is
discovered by the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer or any
Certificateholder that the substance of such representation and warranty was
inaccurate as of the Closing Date and such inaccuracy materially and adversely
affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, then notwithstanding the
Depositor's lack of knowledge with respect to the inaccuracy at the time the

Trustee and the
-33-

in this Section. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, any such substitution shall
be accompanied by payment by the Depositor of the Substitution Adjustment, if
any, to be deposited in the Collection Account.
(b) As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Depositor
substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Depositor shall

Insurer that such substitution has taken place and shall amend the Mortgage Loan

be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.

set forth in Sections ____ and ____ of the Purchase Agreement to cure, purchase
or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan as provided in Sections ____ and

of the Originator set forth in Sections ____ and ____ of the Purchase Agreement.

Agreement. The Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Certificate
Insurer and the Rating Agencies of any repurchase or substitution made pursuant
to this Section 3.03 or Section 2.04(b).
(e) Upon discovery by the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer or any Certificateholder that any Mortgage Loan does not
constitute a Qualified Mortgage, the party discovering such fact shall promptly
(and in any event within five days of the discovery) give written notice thereof
to the other parties. In connection therewith, pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, the Depositor shall be required to repurchase or substitute a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days
of the earlier of such discovery by any of the foregoing parties, or the
Trustee's or the Depositor's receipt of notice, in the same manner as it would a
Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or warranty contained in Section
____ or ____ of the Purchase Agreement. The Trustee shall reconvey to the
Depositor the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner,
and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased
for breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section ____ or ____ of
the Purchase Agreement.

herein. Each Class of Class A Certificates shall, except as otherwise provided
in the next paragraph, be initially issued in the form of a single fully
registered Class A Certificate of such Class with a denomination equal to the
Original Security Balance of such Class. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of
each such Class A Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register in
the name of Cede & Co., or any successor thereto, as nominee for the Depository.
The Depositor and the Trustee are hereby authorized to execute and deliver the
Representation Letter with the Depository. With respect to
-35-
Class A Certificates registered in the Certificate Register in the name of Cede
& Co., as nominee of the Depository, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee and the Certificate Insurer shall have no responsibility or obligation
to Direct or Indirect Participants or beneficial owners for which the Depository
holds Class A Certificates from time to time as a Depository. Without limiting
the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee and the Certificate Insurer shall have no responsibility or obligation
with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, Cede & Co.,
or any Direct or Indirect Participant with respect to any Ownership Interest,
(ii) the delivery to any Direct or Indirect Participant or any other Person,
other than a Certificateholder, of any notice with respect to the Class A
Certificates or (iii) the payment to any Direct or Indirect Participant or any
other Person, other than a Certificateholder, of any amount with respect to any
distribution of principal or interest on the Class A Certificates. No Person
other than a Certificateholder shall receive a certificate evidencing such Class
A Certificate. Upon delivery by the Depository to the Trustee of written notice
to the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new nominee in
place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions hereof with respect to the
payment of interest by the mailing of checks or drafts to the Certificateholders
appearing as Certificateholders at the close of business on a Record Date, the
name "Cede & Co." in this Agreement shall refer to such new nominee of the
Depository.
(f) In the event that (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the
Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge
properly its responsibilities as nominee and depository with respect to the
Class A Certificates and the Depositor or the Depository is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) the Depositor at its sole option elects to terminate
the book-entry system through the Depository, the Class A Certificates shall no
longer be restricted to being registered in the Certificate Register in the name
of Cede & Co. (or a successor nominee) as nominee of the Depository. At that
time, the Depositor may determine that the Class A Certificates shall be
registered in the name of and deposited with a successor depository operating a
global book-entry system, as may be acceptable to the Depositor, or such
depository's agent or designee but, if the Depositor does not select such
alternative global book-entry system, then the Class A Certificates may be
registered in whatever name or names Certificateholders transferring Class A
Certificates shall designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof;
provided, however, that any such reregistration shall be at the expense of the
Depositor.
(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, so long as any Class A Certificate is registered in the name of Cede &
Co., as nominee of the Depository, all distributions of principal or interest on
such Class A Certificates as the case may be and all notices with respect to
such Class A Certificates as the case may be shall be made and given,
respectively, in the manner provided in the Representation Letter.
(h) Except as provided in Section 4.02(i), no transfer, sale, pledge
or other disposition of a Class B or Class R Certificate 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 B or Class R Certificate is to be
made under this Section 4.02(h), (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
-36-
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 O hereto, and the Trustee shall
require the transferor to execute a representation letter, substantially in the
form of Exhibit P 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 that such representation letter will not be required in connection with
any transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to 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.
(i) Transfers of Certificates may be made in accordance with this
Section 4.02(i) if the prospective transferee of a Certificate provides the
Trustee and the Depositor with an investment letter substantially in the form of
Exhibit Q 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 4.02(h) hereof; provided, however,
that no Transfer of any of the Certificates may be made pursuant to this Section
4.02(i) 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.
(j) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Class R 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 appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (8) below and to
execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in
connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the
following provisions:
(1) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class
R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the
Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(2) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Class R Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery to it, and
shall not register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate until its
receipt of, an affidavit and agreement (a "Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement") attached hereto as Exhibit I from the proposed Transferee, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, representing and
warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted
Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class R
Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer
-37-
as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has
reviewed provisions of this Section 4.02(j) and agrees to be bound by them.
(3) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement
by a proposed Transferee under clause (2) above, if the Trustee has actual
knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed
Transferee shall be effected.
(4) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class
R 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 Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless
it provides a certificate (attached hereto as Exhibit J) to the Trustee stating
that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such other Person is
not a Permitted Transferee.
(5) The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate
only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement and all of
such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trustee as a
condition to such registration. In addition, no Transfer of a Class R
Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received a
representation letter from the Transferee of such Certificate to the effect that
such Transferee is not a Disqualified Non-United States Person and is not a
Disqualified Organization. Transfers of the Class R Certificates to Disqualified
Non-United States Persons and Disqualified Organizations are prohibited.
(6) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 4.02 shall be
absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.
If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in
violation of the provisions of this Section 4.02, then the last preceding
Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Class R Certificate.
The Trustee shall notify the Depositor upon receipt of written notice or
discovery by a Responsible Officer that the registration of transfer of a Class
R Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 4.02. Knowledge shall
not be imputed to the Trustee with respect to an impermissible transfer in the
absence of such a written notice or discovery by a Responsible Officer. The
Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of
transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
4.02 or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or
taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this
Agreement so long as the transfer was registered after receipt of the related
Transfer Affidavit and Transfer Certificate. The Trustee shall be entitled, but
not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Class R Certificate that was in
fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such
subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments
made on such Class R Certificate at and after either such time. Any such
payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee
to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate.
-38-
(k) 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 Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified
Organization, including the information regarding "excess inclusions" of such
Class R 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 Class R 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.
(l) No transfer of a Class R Certificate or any interest therein shall
be made to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement, including
individual retirement accounts and annuities, Xxxxx plans and collective
investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or
arrangements are invested, that is subject to the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or the Code (each, a "Plan"), unless
the prospective transferee of such Class R Certificate provides the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with a certification of facts and, at the prospective
transferee's expense, an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the satisfaction
of the Master Servicer and the Trustee that such transfer will not result in a
violation of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or cause the
Master Servicer or the Trustee to be deemed a fiduciary of such Plan or result
in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code. In the
absence of their having received the certification of facts or Opinion of
Counsel contemplated by the preceding sentence, the Trustee and the Master
Servicer shall require the prospective transferee of any Class R Certificate to
certify in the form of Exhibit O or Exhibit Q that (A) it is neither (i) a Plan
nor (ii) a Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing a Class R Certificate
on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets, of a Plan
and (B) all funds used by such transferee to purchase such Certificates will be
funds held by it in its general account which it reasonably believes do not
constitute "plan assets" of any Plan.
(m) Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement, upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office or
agency of the Trustee located in New York, New York, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate and deliver in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, a new Certificate of the same Class and Percentage Interest and
dated the date of authentication by the Trustee. At the option of the
Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of
Authorized Denominations of a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender
of the Certificates to be exchanged at such office. 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. No service charge shall be made 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. All Certificates
surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled by the Trustee.
-39-
Section 4.03 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES. If (a)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may reasonably be required by each of them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate
has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and
Percentage Interest, but bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 4.03, the Trustee
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and their fees and
expenses connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this
Section 4.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in
the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 4.04 PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer and subject to the provisions of
Section 4.02 and Article X, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate
Insurer and the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is
registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
remittances pursuant to Section 6.05 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and
the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee
shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.

ARTICLE V
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 5.01 APPOINTMENT OF THE MASTER SERVICER. (a) ________ agrees
to act as the Master Servicer and to perform all servicing duties under this
Agreement subject to the terms hereof.
(b) The Master Servicer shall master service and administer the
Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trustee and shall have full power and authority,
acting alone or through one or more Subservicers, to do any and all things in
connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or
desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer
may, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to, execute and
deliver, on behalf of itself, 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, the insurance policies and accounts related thereto and the
properties subject to the Mortgages. Upon the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, and from time to time as may be required thereafter, the Trustee
shall execute for the Master Servicer any powers of attorney and such other
documents as may be necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to
carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.
In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer
shall employ procedures consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and in a
manner consistent with recovery under any insurance policy required to be
maintained by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.
Costs incurred by the Master Servicer in effectuating the timely
payment of taxes and assessments on the property securing a Mortgage Note and
foreclosure costs may be added by the Master Servicer to the amount owing under
such Mortgage Note where the terms of such Mortgage Note so permit; provided,
however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for
purposes of calculating the principal amount of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage
Loan, the Monthly Payments on the Mortgage Note and Mortgage Loan or
distributions to be made to Certificateholders. Such costs shall be recoverable
by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 5.04.
(c) Subject to Section 5.12, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized
and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trustee and each
Certificateholder, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If
reasonably required by the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall execute any powers
of attorney furnished to the Trustee by the Master Servicer and other documents
necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.
(d) On and after such time as the Trustee receives the resignation of,
or notice of the removal of, the Master Servicer from its rights and obligations
under this Agreement, and
-41-
with respect to resignation pursuant to Section 5.24, after receipt by the
Trustee and the Certificate Insurer of the Opinion of Counsel required pursuant
to Section 5.24, the Trustee or its designee approved by the Certificate Insurer
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) shall assume all of the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer, subject to Section 7.02 hereof.
The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of the
Master Servicer, deliver to the Trustee all documents and records relating to
the Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the Master
Servicer and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of servicing rights and obligations to the assuming party.
(e) If the Mortgage relating to a Mortgage Loan did not have a lien
senior on the related Mortgaged Property as of the Cut-Off Date, then the Master
Servicer, in such capacity, may not consent to the placing of a lien senior to
that of the Mortgage on the related Mortgaged Property. If the Mortgage relating
to a Mortgage Loan had a lien senior to the Mortgage Loan on the related
Mortgaged Property as of the Cut-Off Date, then the Master Servicer, in such
capacity, may consent to the refinancing of such senior lien; provided that (i)
the resulting Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is no higher
than the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio prior to such refinancing and (ii) the
interest rate for the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien on the date of
such refinancing is no higher than the interest rate on the loan evidencing the
existing senior lien immediately prior to the date of such refinancing.
(f) The Master Servicer shall deliver a list of Servicing Officers to
the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer by the Closing Date.
Section 5.02 [Reserved]
Section 5.03 COLLECTION OF CERTAIN MORTGAGE LOAN PAYMENTS; COLLECTION
ACCOUNT. (a) 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
any applicable primary mortgage insurance policy, follow such collection
procedures as shall constitute Accepted Servicing Practices. Consistent with the
foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any prepayment
charge, assumption fee, late payment charge or other charge in connection with a
Mortgage Loan, and (ii) arrange a schedule, running for no more than 180 days
after the Due Date for payment of any installment on any Mortgage Note, for the
liquidation of delinquent items. Any provision of this agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Master Servicer shall not agree to the modification or
waiver of any provision of a Mortgage Loan at a time when such Mortgage Loan is
not in default or such default is not reasonably foreseeable, if such
modification or waiver would be treated as a taxable exchange under Section 1001
of the Code, unless such exchange would not be considered a "prohibited
transaction" under the REMIC Provisions.
The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain in the name of the
Trustee the Collection Account, in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. The Collection Account shall be
established and maintained as an Eligible Account.
-42-
The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account (i) any
amounts representing Monthly Payments on the Mortgage Loans due or to be applied
as of a date after the Cut-off Date, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, (ii)
any amounts representing Monthly Payments on the Mortgage Loans due or to be
applied as of a date on or before the Cut-off Date (except for any interest
accrued prior to the Cut-off Date and except for any principal received by the
Depositor prior to the Cut-off Date the receipt of which is reflected on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule) and (iii) thereafter, on a daily basis within two
Business Days of receipt (except as otherwise permitted herein), the following
payments and collections received or made by it (other than any amounts in
respect of principal of or interest on the Mortgage Loans which, under clauses
(i) and (ii) above, are not required to be deposited in the Collection Account):
(i) all payments received after the Cut-off Date on account of
principal on the Mortgage Loans and all Principal Prepayments in Full,
Curtailments and all Net REO Proceeds collected after the Cut-off Date;
(ii) all payments received after the Cut-off Date on account of
interest on the Mortgage Loans (other than payments of interest that
accrued on each Mortgage Loan up to and including the Cut-off Date;
(iii) all Net Liquidation Proceeds;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds;
(v) all Released Mortgaged Property Proceeds;
(vi) any amounts payable in connection with the repurchase of any
Mortgage Loan and the amount of any Substitution Adjustment pursuant to
Sections 2.04 and 3.03; and
(vii) any amount expressly required to be deposited in the Collection
Account in accordance with certain provisions of this Agreement, including,
without limitation Sections 2.04(b), 2.04(c), 3.03(a), 3.03(c), 5.06, 5.07
and 5.18 of this Agreement;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall be entitled, at its election,
either (a) to withhold and to pay to itself the applicable Master Servicing Fee
from any payment on account of interest or other recovery (including Net REO
Proceeds) as received and prior to deposit of such payments in the Collection
Account or (b) to withdraw the applicable Master Servicing Fee from the
Collection Account after the entire payment or recovery has been deposited
therein; provided, further, that with respect to any payment of interest
received by the Master Servicer in respect of a Mortgage Loan (whether paid by
the Mortgagor or received as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or
otherwise) which is less than the full amount of interest then due with respect
to such Mortgage Loan, only that portion of such payment that bears the same
relationship to the total amount of such payment of interest as the rate used to
determine the Master Servicing Fee bears to the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by
such Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to the Master Servicing Fee with respect
to such Mortgage Loan. All other amounts shall be deposited in the Collection
Account not later than the second Business Day following the day of receipt and
posting by the Master Servicer.
-43-
The Master Servicer may invest the funds in the Collection Account
only in Permitted Investments. No Permitted Investment shall be sold or disposed
of at a gain prior to maturity unless the Master Servicer has obtained an
Opinion of Counsel (at the Master Servicer's expense) that such sale or
disposition will not cause the Trust Fund to be subject to the tax on income
from prohibited transactions imposed by Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code,
otherwise subject the Trust Fund to tax or cause the Trust Fund to fail to
qualify as a REMIC. All income (other than any gain from a sale or disposition
of the type referred to in the preceding sentence) realized from any such
Permitted Investment shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as
additional servicing compensation. The amount of any losses incurred in respect
of any such investments shall be deposited in the Collection Account by the
Master Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall
be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of those described in the
last paragraph of Section 5.14 and payments in the nature of prepayment charges,
late payment charges or assumption fees need not be deposited by the Master
Servicer in the Collection Account. If the Master Servicer deposits in the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at
any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding. All funds deposited by the Master Servicer in
the Collection Account shall be held in the Collection Account for the account
of the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance
with Section 6.01 or withdrawn in accordance with Section 5.04.
(b) Prior to the time of their required deposit in the Collection
Account, all amounts required to be deposited therein may be deposited in an
account in the name of Master Servicer, provided that such account is an
Eligible Account. All such funds shall be held by the Master Servicer in trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer pursuant
to the terms hereof.
(c) The Collection Account may, upon written notice by the Trustee to
the Certificate Insurer, be transferred to a different depository so long as
such transfer is to an Eligible Account.
Section 5.04 PERMITTED WITHDRAWALS FROM THE COLLECTION ACCOUNT. The
Master Servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection
Account for the following purposes:
(a) to reimburse itself for any accrued unpaid Master Servicing Fees
and for unreimbursed Periodic Advances and Servicing Advances. The Master
Servicer's right to reimbursement for unpaid Master Servicing Fees and
unreimbursed Servicing Advances shall be limited to late collections on the
related Mortgage Loan, including Liquidation Proceeds, Released Mortgaged
Property Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be
collected by the Master Servicer from the related Mortgagor or otherwise
relating to the Mortgage Loan in respect of which such unreimbursed amounts
are owed. The Master Servicer's right to reimbursement for unreimbursed
Periodic Advances shall be limited to late collections of interest on any
Mortgage Loan and to Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds on related
Mortgage Loans;
-44-
(b) to reimburse itself for any Periodic Advances or Servicing
Advances determined in good faith to have become Nonrecoverable Advances,
such reimbursement to be made from any funds in the Collection Account;
(c) to withdraw any amount received from a Mortgagor that is
recoverable and sought to be recovered as a voidable preference by a
trustee in bankruptcy pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code in
accordance with a final, nonappealable order of a court having competent
jurisdiction;
(d) to withdraw any funds deposited in the Collection Account
that were not required to be deposited therein;
(e) to pay itself Servicing Compensation pursuant to Section 5.14
hereof to the extent not retained or paid pursuant to Section 5.03, 5.04 or
5.14;
(f) to pay to the Depositor with respect to each Mortgage Loan or
property acquired in respect thereof that has been repurchased or replaced
pursuant to Section 2.04 or 3.03 or to pay to itself with respect to each
Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that has been
purchased pursuant to Section 8.01 all amounts received thereon and not
required to be distributed as of the date on which the related repurchase
or purchase price or Principal Balance, as the case may be, was determined;
(g) to pay to the Depositor with respect to each Mortgage Loan
the amount of interest accrued and unpaid on such Mortgage Loan on the Cut-
off Date;
(h) to make deposits to the Distribution Accounts (which shall
include the Trustee Fee) in the amounts and in the manner provided for
herein;
(i) to pay itself any interest earned on or investment income
earned with respect to funds in the Collection Account;
(j) to reimburse itself or the Depositor pursuant to Section
11.01; and
(k) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the
termination of this Agreement.
The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain a separate accounting
for each Mortgage Loan for the purpose of accounting for withdrawals from the
Collection Account pursuant to subclause (a).
Section 5.05 PAYMENT OF TAXES, INSURANCE AND OTHER CHARGES. With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall maintain accurate
records reflecting casualty insurance coverage.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which the Master
Servicer maintains escrow accounts, the Master Servicer shall maintain accurate
records reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates
and other charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and
the status of primary mortgage guaranty insurance premiums,
-45-
if any, and casualty insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all
bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall
effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and
at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for
such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in any escrow account which shall have
been estimated and accumulated by the Master Servicer in amounts sufficient for
such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. To the extent that a
Mortgage does not provide for escrow payments, the Master Servicer shall, if it
has received notice of a default or deficiency, monitor such payments to
determine if they are made by the Mortgagor.
Section 5.06 MAINTENANCE OF CASUALTY INSURANCE. The Master Servicer
shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan (at the expense of the
borrower or, if required by the terms of the Mortgage Loan and not paid for by
the borrower, at the expense of the Trust Fund) a casualty insurance policy with
extended coverage issued by a generally acceptable insurer in an amount which is
not less than the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property securing such
Mortgage Loan or the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, whichever
is less; provided, however, that such insurance may not be less than the minimum
amount required to fully compensate for any loss or damage on a replacement cost
basis. If, upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the improvements on the
Mortgaged Property were in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such
flood insurance has been made available) the Master Servicer will cause to be
maintained (at the expense of the borrower or, if required by the terms of the
Mortgage Loan and not paid for by the borrower, at the expense of the Trust
Fund) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable
insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of
(i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the full insurable
value and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which was available under the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Master Servicer shall also
maintain similar fire insurance coverage and, if applicable, flood insurance on
property acquired upon foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any
Mortgage Loan in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the full
insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii)
the principal balance owing on such Mortgage Loan at the time of such
foreclosure or grant of deed in lieu of foreclosure; provided, however, that
such insurance may not be less than the minimum amount required to fully
compensate for any loss or damage on a replacement cost basis. It is understood
and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers approved by the Master
Servicer and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required
of any Mortgagor, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as
shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.
Pursuant to Section 5.03, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any
insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 5.06 (other than amounts
to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices) shall
be deposited into the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 5.04 unless such insurance was not required by the terms of the Mortgage
Loan. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance
shall be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of
the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such
cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the principal
amount of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage Loan, the Monthly
-46-
Payments on the Mortgage Note or the distributions to be made to the
Certificateholders. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 5.04. In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and
maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer that is acceptable to FNMA or
FHLMC, insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation as set forth in the
first sentence of this Section 5.06, 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
or acquired property an insurance policy complying with the first sentence of
this Section 5.06 and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered
by such a policy had it been maintained, be required to deposit from its own
funds into the Collection Account the amount not otherwise payable under the
blanket policy because of such deductible clause.
Section 5.07 MAINTENANCE OF MORTGAGE IMPAIRMENT INSURANCE POLICY. In the
event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy (the
"Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy") with an insurer either (i) having a
General Policy rating of A:VIII or better in Best's Key Rating Guide or (ii)
approved in writing by the Certificate Insurer, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, insuring against fire and hazards of extended coverage on
all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy names the Master
Servicer as loss payee and provides coverage in an amount equal to the aggregate
unpaid principal balance on the Mortgage Loans without co-insurance, and
otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 5.06, the Master Servicer
shall be deemed conclusively to have satisfied its obligations with respect to
fire and hazard insurance coverage under Section 5.06, it being understood and
agreed that such blanket 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 Section
5.06, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such
policy, deposit in the Collection Account the difference, if any, between the
amount that would have been payable under a policy complying with Section 5.06
and the amount paid under such blanket policy. Upon the request of the
Certificate Insurer, the Trustee or any Certificateholder, the Master Servicer
shall cause to be delivered to the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee or such
Certificateholder, as the case may be, a certified true copy of such policy. The
Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee,
the Certificate Insurer and Certificateholders, claims under any such policy in
a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.
Section 5.08 FIDELITY BOND; ERRORS AND OMISSIONS POLICY. (a) The Master
Servicer shall maintain with a responsible company, and at its own expense, a
blanket fidelity bond (a "Fidelity Bond") and an errors and omissions insurance
policy (an "Errors and Omissions Policy"), in a minimum amount acceptable to
FNMA or FHLMC or, if _______ is the Master Servicer or if the Trustee is the
successor Master Servicer, in an amount generally maintained by prudent mortgage
loan servicers having servicing portfolios of a similar size.
(b) The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this
provision if one of its respective Affiliates has such a Fidelity Bond and
Errors and Omissions Policy and, by the terms of such fidelity bond and errors
and omission policy, the coverage afforded thereunder
-47-
extends to the Master Servicer. Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions
Policy shall not be cancelled or modified in a materially adverse manner without
10 days prior written notice to the Certificate Insurer.
Section 5.09 COLLECTION OF TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND OTHER ITEMS; SERVICING
ACCOUNT. In addition to the Collection Account, the Master Servicer shall
establish and maintain a Servicing Account, which shall be an Eligible Account,
and shall deposit therein all payments by Mortgagors for taxes, assessments,
primary mortgage or hazard insurance premiums or comparable items. Withdrawals
from the Servicing Account may be made to effect payment of taxes, assessments,
primary mortgage or hazard insurance premiums or comparable items, to reimburse
the Master Servicer out of related collections for any advances made in the
nature of any of the foregoing, to refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined
to be overages, or to pay any interest owed to Mortgagors on such account to the
extent required by law or to clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the
termination of this Agreement upon the termination of the Trust Fund. The Master
Servicer shall advance the payments referred to in the first sentence of this
Section 5.09 that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when the
tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but the
Master Servicer shall be required to so advance only to the extent that such
advances, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be recoverable
by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 5.04 out of Liquidation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds or otherwise.
Section 5.10 PERIODIC FILINGS WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION; ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. The Trustee shall prepare or cause to be
prepared for filing with the Commission any and all reports, statements and
information respecting the Trust Fund and/or the Certificates required to be
filed, and shall solicit any and all proxies of the Certificateholders whenever
such proxies are required to be solicited, pursuant to the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. The Depositor shall promptly file, and exercise its
reasonable best efforts to obtain a favorable response to, no-action requests
with, or other appropriate exemptive relief from, the Commission seeking the
usual and customary exemption from such reporting requirements granted to
issuers of securities similar to the Certificates. Fees and expenses incurred by
the Trustee in connection with the foregoing shall be reimbursed pursuant to
Section 9.05 and shall not be paid by the Trust Fund.
The Master Servicer and the Depositor each agree to promptly furnish to the
Trustee, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports and
financial statements within their control related to this Agreement and the
Mortgage Loans as the Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file
all necessary reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Section 5.11 ENFORCEMENT OF DUE-ON-SALE CLAUSES; ASSUMPTION AGREEMENTS.
In any case in which a Mortgaged Property is about to be conveyed by the
Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or
not the Mortgagor remains liable thereon) and the Master Servicer has knowledge
of such prospective conveyance, the Master Servicer shall effect assumptions in
accordance with the terms of any due-on-sale provision contained in the related
Mortgage Note or Mortgage. The Master Servicer shall enforce any due-on-sale
provision contained in such Mortgage Note or Mortgage to the extent the
requirements thereunder for an assumption of the Mortgage Loan
-48-
have not been satisfied to the extent permitted under the terms of the related
Mortgage Note, unless such provision is not exercisable under applicable law and
governmental regulations or in the Master Servicer's judgment, such exercise is
reasonably likely to result in legal action by the Mortgagor, or such conveyance
is in connection with a permitted assumption of the related Mortgage Loan.
Subject to the foregoing, the Master Servicer is authorized to take or enter
into an assumption agreement from or with the Person to whom such property is
about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the
related Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the
Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Master Servicer is also authorized, to
release the original Mortgagor from liability upon the Mortgage Loan and
substitute the new Mortgagor as obligor thereon. In connection with such
assumption or substitution, the Master Servicer shall apply such underwriting
standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual
for mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans and as it applies to mortgage
loans owned solely by it. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any
such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to
the Trustee the original copy of such assumption or substitution agreement,
which copy shall be added by the Trustee to the related Mortgage File and shall,
for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent
as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. In
connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement, the Mortgage
Interest Rate of the related Mortgage Note, the payment terms and other material
terms shall not be changed. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer for
entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be
retained by the Master Servicer as servicing compensation.
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 conveyance by
the Mortgagor of the property subject to the Mortgage or any assumption of a
Mortgage Loan by operation of law which the Master Servicer in good faith
determines it may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever, or if the exercise of such right would impair or threaten to impair
any recovery under any applicable insurance policy or, in the Master Servicer's
judgment, be reasonably likely to result in legal action by the Mortgagor.
Section 5.12 REALIZATION UPON DEFAULTED MORTGAGE LOANS. (a) Except as
provided in the last two paragraphs of this Section 5.12(a), the Master Servicer
shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties
securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as
to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments pursuant to Section 5.03. In connection with such foreclosure or other
conversion, the Master Servicer shall follow Accepted Servicing Practices. The
foregoing is subject to the proviso that the Master Servicer shall not be
required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or to
restore any damaged property unless it shall determine that (i) such foreclosure
and/or restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage
Loan to Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and
(ii) such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds
(respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawal from the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.04) or otherwise. The Master Servicer
shall be entitled to reimbursement of the Master Servicing Fee and other amounts
due it, if any, to the extent, but only to the extent,
-49-
that withdrawals from the Collection Account with respect thereto are permitted
under Section 5.04.
The Master Servicer may foreclose against the Mortgaged Property securing a
defaulted Mortgage Loan either by foreclosure, by sale or by strict foreclosure,
and in the event a deficiency judgment is available against the Mortgagor or any
other person, may proceed for the deficiency.
In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure (an "REO Property"), the deed or
certificate of sale shall be issued to the Master Servicer on behalf of the
Trustee in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. The
Master Servicer shall administer the REO Property so that it qualifies at all
times as "foreclosure property," within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the
Code, and shall not permit any income to be earned with respect thereto that is
"net income from foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(d) of
the Code or "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section
860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and
cancellation of the related Mortgage Loan, such Mortgage Loan shall be
considered to be a Mortgage Loan held in the Trust Fund until such time as the
related Mortgaged Property shall be sold and such Mortgage Loan becomes a
Liquidated Mortgage Loan. Consistent with the foregoing, for purposes of all
calculations hereunder, so long as such Mortgage Loan shall be considered to be
an Outstanding Mortgage Loan:
(i) It shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the indebtedness
evidenced by the related Mortgage Note shall have been discharged, such
Mortgage Note and the related amortization schedule in effect at the time of
any such acquisition of title (after giving effect to any previous
Curtailments and before any adjustment thereto by reason of any bankruptcy or
similar proceeding or any moratorium or similar waiver or grace period)
remain in effect, except that such schedule shall be adjusted to reflect the
application of Net REO Proceeds received in any month pursuant to the
succeeding clause.
(ii) Net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be deemed to have
been received first in payment of the accrued interest that remained unpaid
on the date that such Mortgage Loan became an REO Mortgage Loan, with the
excess thereof, if any, being deemed to have been received in respect of the
delinquent principal installments that remained unpaid on such date.
Thereafter, Net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be applied to the
payment of installments of principal and accrued interest on such Mortgage
Loan deemed to be due and payable in accordance with the terms of such
Mortgage Note and such amortization schedule. If such Net REO Proceeds exceed
the then Unpaid REO Amortization, the excess shall be treated as a
Curtailment received in respect of such Mortgage Loan.
(iii) Only that portion of Net REO Proceeds allocable to interest that
bears the same relationship to the total amount of Net REO Proceeds allocable
to interest as the rate of the Master Servicing Fee bears to the Mortgage
Interest Rate borne by such Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to the Master
Servicing Fee with respect thereto.
-50-
In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or reasonably foreseeable
default on a Mortgage Loan, such Mortgaged Property shall be disposed of by or
on behalf of the Trust Fund within three years after its acquisition by the
Trust Fund unless (a) the Master Servicer shall have provided to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that the
holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to three years
after its acquisition (and specifying the period beyond such three-year period
for which the Mortgaged Property may be held) will not cause the Trust Fund to
be subject to the tax on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 860F(a)(1)
of the Code, otherwise subject the Trust Fund to tax or cause the Trust Fund to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, or
(b) the Master Servicer (at the Trust Fund's expense) shall have applied for, at
least 60 days prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an extension of
such three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the
Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended by the applicable
period. The Master Servicer shall further ensure that the Mortgaged Property is
administered so that it constitutes "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at all times, that the sale of such property does
not result in the receipt by the Trust Fund of any income from non-permitted
assets as described in Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, and that the Trust
Fund does not derive any "net income from foreclosure property" within the
meaning of Section 860G(c)(2) of the Code with respect to such 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).
In lieu of foreclosing upon any defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer may, in its discretion, permit the assumption of such Mortgage Loan if,
in the Master Servicer's judgment, such default is unlikely to be cured and if
the assuming borrower satisfies the Master Servicer's underwriting guidelines
with respect to mortgage loans owned by the Master Servicer. In connection with
any such assumption, the Mortgage Interest Rate of the related Mortgage Note and
the payment terms shall not be changed. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer
for entering into an assumption agreement will be retained by the Master
Servicer as servicing compensation. Alternatively, the Master Servicer may
encourage the refinancing of any defaulted Mortgage Loan by the Mortgagor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to instituting foreclosure
proceedings or accepting a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to any
Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall make, or cause to be made,
inspection of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the Accepted Servicing
Practices and, with respect to environmental hazards, such procedures are as
required by the provisions of the FNMA's selling and servicing guide applicable
to single-family homes and in effect on the date hereof. The Master Servicer
shall be entitled to rely upon the results of any such inspection made by
others. In cases where the inspection reveals that such Mortgaged Property is
potentially contaminated with or affected by hazardous wastes or hazardous
substances, the Master Servicer shall promptly give written notice of such fact
to the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee and each Class A Certificateholder. The
Master Servicer shall not commence foreclosure proceedings or accept a deed-in-
lieu of foreclosure for Mortgaged Property with respect to this paragraph
without obtaining the written consent of the Certificate Insurer.
-51-
(b) Promptly after the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall, with
respect to each Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgage provides a second lien on
the related Mortgaged Property, cause to be recorded in the appropriate public
office for real property records, where permitted by applicable law and where
applicable law does not require that a second mortgagee be named as a party
defendant in foreclosure or comparable proceedings in order to foreclose or
otherwise preempt such mortgagee's equity of redemption, a request for notice of
any action by or on behalf of any mortgagee under a Senior Mortgage Loan. The
Master Servicer also shall promptly provide written notice to each mortgagee
under a Senior Mortgage Loan of the existence of the related Mortgage Loan and
request notification of any action taken or to be taken against the related
Mortgagor or Mortgaged Property by or on behalf of such mortgagee in respect of
such Senior Mortgage Loan.
(c) Upon becoming aware that a Senior Mortgage Loan has come into default
or of any action that the related mortgagee has taken or may take in respect
thereof, the Master Servicer shall, consistent with the REMIC Provisions, take
such actions as it shall deem necessary or advisable, as shall be normal and
usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as shall be required or
permitted by Accepted Servicing Practices. The Master Servicer, however, shall
not be required to expend its own funds in connection therewith unless it shall
determine that such expense will be recoverable to it. All such expenses shall
be included as Liquidation Expenses pursuant to the definition thereof, and
shall be reimbursable from the related Liquidation Proceeds in accordance with
Section 5.04.
Section 5.13 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 will be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee in the
form of a Request for Release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (which
request shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in
connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.03 have been or shall be so deposited)
of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File.
Upon receipt of such Request for Release, the Trustee, or the Custodian on its
behalf, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer.
Upon any such payment in full, the Master Servicer is authorized to give, as
agent for the Trustee and the mortgagee under the Mortgage which secured the
Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without
recourse) regarding the property subject to such Mortgage, which instrument of
satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person
or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being
understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such
instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be
chargeable to the Collection Account. In connection therewith, the Trustee shall
execute and return to the Master Servicer any required power of attorney
provided to the Trustee by the Master Servicer and other required documentation
in accordance with Section 5.01(c). From time to time and as appropriate for the
servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices, the Trustee shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and
delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer,
release, or cause the Custodian to release, the related Mortgage File to the
Master Servicer and shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to the
prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the
Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee when the
-52-
need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan
shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing
Officer similar to the Request for Release hereinabove specified, the Mortgage
File shall be delivered by the to the Master Servicer.
Section 5.14 MASTER SERVICING FEE; MASTER SERVICING COMPENSATION. The
Master Servicer shall be entitled, at its election, either (a) to pay itself the
Master Servicing Fee out of any Mortgagor payment on account of interest or Net
REO Proceeds prior to the deposit of such payment in the Collection Account or
(b) to withdraw from the Collection Account such Master Servicing Fee pursuant
to Section 5.04. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled, at its election,
either (a) to pay itself the Master Servicing Fee in respect of each delinquent
Mortgage Loan out of Liquidation Proceeds in respect of such Mortgage Loan or
other recoveries with respect thereto to the extent permitted in Section 5.03(a)
to withdraw from the Collection Account the Master Servicing Fee in respect of
each such Mortgage Loan to the extent of such Liquidation Proceeds or other
recoveries, to the extent permitted by Section 5.04(a).
Master Servicing compensation in the form of Net Foreclosure Profits,
prepayment penalties, assumption fees, late payment charges, tax service fees,
fees for statement of account or payoff of the Mortgage Loan (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) or otherwise shall be retained by the Master
Servicer and are not required to be deposited in the Collection Account. The
aggregate Master Servicing Fee is reserved for the administration of the Trust
Fund and, in the event of replacement of the Master Servicer as master servicer
of the Mortgage Loans, for the payment of other expenses related to such
replacement. The aggregate Master Servicing Fee shall be offset as provided in
Section 5.20. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred
by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including
maintenance of the hazard insurance required by Section 5.05) and shall not be
entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.
Section 5.15 REPORTS TO THE TRUSTEE AND THE DEPOSITOR; COLLECTION ACCOUNT
STATEMENTS. Not later than 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer shall provide to the Trustee and the Depositor a statement, certified
by a Servicing Officer, setting forth the status of the Collection Account as of
the close of business on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar
month, stating that all distributions required by this Agreement to be made by
the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee have been made (or if any required
distribution has not been made by the Master Servicer, specifying the nature and
status thereof) and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the
aggregate of deposits into and withdrawals from the Collection Account for each
category of deposit specified in Section 5.03 and each category of withdrawal
specified in Section 5.04 and the aggregate of deposits into the Certificate
Accounts as specified in Section 6.01(c). Such statement shall also state the
aggregate unpaid principal balance of all the Mortgage Loans as of the close of
business on the last day of the month preceding the month in which such
Distribution Date occurs. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the
Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request.
Section 5.16 ANNUAL STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE. The Master Servicer will
deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the Rating Agencies on or
before
-53-
________ each year, beginning with _____, 199_, an Officers' Certificate stating
as to each signer 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 officer's supervision, and (ii) to the best
of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has
fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or if
there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying
each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Such
Officers' Certificate shall be accompanied by the statement described in Section
5.17 of this Agreement. Copies of such statement shall, upon request, be
provided to any Certificateholder by the Master Servicer, or by the Trustee at
the Master Servicer's expense if the Master Servicer shall fail to provide such
copies.
Section 5.17 ANNUAL INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS' SERVICING REPORT. On
or before _________ of every year, beginning with _______, 199_, the Master
Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a firm of nationally recognized
independent public accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer and the Rating Agencies to the effect that, on the basis of
an examination of certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the
mortgage loans being serviced by the Master Servicer under pooling and servicing
agreements similar to this Agreement, conducted substantially in compliance with
the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm is of the
opinion that such servicing has been conducted in compliance with this
Agreement. Copies of such statement shall, upon request, be provided to
Certificateholders by the Master Servicer, or by the Trustee at the Master
Servicer's expense if the Master Servicer shall fail to provide such copies. For
purposes of such statement, such firm may conclusively presume that any pooling
and servicing agreement which governs mortgage pass-through certificates offered
by the Depositor (or any predecessor or successor thereto) in a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is similar to this
Agreement, unless such other pooling and servicing agreement expressly states
otherwise.
Section 5.18 OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF DEFAULTED MORTGAGE LOANS. The
Depositor, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to elect (by written
notice sent to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer), but shall not be
obligated, to purchase for its own account from the Trust Fund (i) any defaulted
Mortgage Loan or any Mortgage Loan as to which default is reasonably foreseeable
and (ii) any Mortgage Loan as to which the Originator has breached a
representation or warranty to JVMC regarding the characteristics of such
Mortgage Loan. Any such purchase shall be in the manner and at the price
specified in Section 2.04(b); provided, however, that the aggregate Principal
Balances of the Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-Off Date repurchased pursuant to
this provision shall not exceed [____]% of the Pool Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. The purchase price for any Mortgage Loan
purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account and the
Trustee, upon receipt of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to
the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the purchaser
of such Mortgage Loan, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to
vest in the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto and the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the
Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and all
security and documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment
outright and not for security. The purchaser of such
-54-
Mortgage Loan shall thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all security and
documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the
Certificateholders with respect thereto.
Section 5.19 REPORTS TO BE PROVIDED BY THE MASTER SERVICER. The Master
Servicer agrees to make available on a reasonable basis to the Certificate
Insurer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of
answering reasonable questions respecting recent developments affecting the
Master Servicer or the financial statements of the Master Servicer and to permit
the Certificate Insurer to inspect the Master Servicer's servicing facilities
during normal business hours for the purpose of satisfying the Certificate
Insurer that the Master Servicer has the ability to service the Mortgage Loans
in accordance with this Agreement.
Section 5.20 ADJUSTMENT OF MASTER SERVICING COMPENSATION IN RESPECT OF
PREPAID MORTGAGE LOANS. The aggregate amount of the Master Servicing Fees that
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive with respect to all of the
Mortgage Loans and each Distribution Date shall be offset on such Distribution
Date by an amount equal to the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall with
respect to all Mortgage Loans which were subjects of Principal Prepayments in
Full or Curtailments during the month preceding the month of such Distribution
Date. The amount of any offset against the aggregate Master Servicing Fee with
respect to any Distribution Date under this Section 5.20 shall be limited to the
aggregate amount of the Master Servicing Fees otherwise payable to the Master
Servicer (without adjustment on account of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls) with
respect to (i) scheduled payments having the Due Date occurring in the month of
such Distribution Date received by the Master Servicer prior to the Remittance
Date, and (ii) Principal Prepayments in Full, Curtailments and Liquidation
Proceeds received in the month preceding the month in which such Distribution
Date occurs, and the rights of the Certificateholders to the offset of the
aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls shall not be cumulative.
Section 5.21 PERIODIC ADVANCES. If, on any Remittance Date, the Master
Servicer determines that any Monthly Payments due on the Due Date immediately
preceding such Remittance Date have not been received as of the close of
business on the Business Day preceding such Remittance Date, the Master Servicer
shall determine the amount of any Periodic Advance required to be made with
respect to the related Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall, on the
Remittance Date, deliver in a computer-readable form (including electronic
transmission) to the Trustee indicating the payment status of each Mortgage Loan
as of the Business Day prior to such Remittance Date. The Master Servicer shall
include in the amount to be deposited in the related Certificate Account on such
Remittance Date an amount equal to the Periodic Advance, if any, which deposit
may be made in whole or in part from funds in the Collection Account being held
for future distribution or withdrawal on or in connection with Distribution
Dates in subsequent months. Any funds being held for future distribution to
Certificateholders and so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer from its
own funds by deposit in the related Certificate Account on or before the
Business Day preceding any such future Remittance Date to the extent that funds
in the related Certificate Account on such Remittance Date shall be less than
payments to Certificateholders required to be made on such date.
-55-
The Master Servicer shall designate on its records the specific Mortgage
Loans and related installments (or portions thereof) as to which such Periodic
Advance shall be deemed to have been made, such determination being conclusive
for purposes of withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to Section
5.04.
Section 5.22 THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. The Trustee shall reimburse the
Depositor from amounts otherwise distributable on the Class R Certificates for
all amounts advanced by the Depositor pursuant to the second sentence of Section
4.03(a)(ii) of the Purchase Agreement except when the relevant claim relates

deposit upon receipt any amount paid under the Certificate Insurance Policy in
the Certificate Insurance Payments Account and distribute such amount only for

Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee
shall promptly notify the Certificate Insurer and the Rating Agencies of the
occurrence of an Event of Default.
Section 7.02 TRUSTEE TO ACT; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR. (a) On and
after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to
Section 7.01, or the Trustee receives the resignation of the Master Servicer
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 5.24, or the Master
Servicer is removed as Master Servicer pursuant to Article VII, in which event
the Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies, except as otherwise
provided in Section 7.01, the Trustee 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 to all
the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the
Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof arising on or after the date
of succession; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be liable for any
actions or the representations and warranties of any master servicer prior to it
and including, without limitation, the obligations of the Master Servicer set
forth in Sections 2.04 and 3.03. The Trustee, as successor master servicer, or
any other successor master servicer shall be obligated to pay Compensating
Interest pursuant to Section 6.09 in any event and to make advances pursuant to
Section 5.21 unless, and only to the extent the Trustee as successor master
servicer determines reasonably and in good faith that such advances would not be
recoverable pursuant to Sections 5.04(b), 5.04(g) or 5.04(j), such determination
to be evidenced by a certification of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, as
successor master servicer delivered to the Certificate Insurer.
-68-
(b) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be
unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if the Majority
Certificateholders with the consent of the Certificate Insurer or the
Certificate Insurer so requests in writing to the Trustee, appoint, pursuant to
the provisions set forth in paragraph (c) below, or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing
institution acceptable to the Certificate Insurer that has a net worth of not
less than $15,000,000 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.
(c) In the event the Trustee is the successor master servicer, it
shall be entitled to Master Servicing Compensation (including the Master
Servicing Fee as adjusted pursuant to the definition thereof) and other funds
pursuant to Section 5.14 hereof as the Master Servicer. In the event the Trustee
is unable or unwilling to act as successor master servicer, the Trustee shall
solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing and home finance
institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the
qualifications set forth above. Such public announcement shall specify that the
successor master servicer shall be entitled to the full amount of the aggregate
Master Servicing Fees hereunder as servicing compensation, together with the
other Master Servicing Compensation. Within thirty days after any such public
announcement, the Trustee shall negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and
assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder to the
qualified party submitting the highest qualifying bid. The Trustee shall deduct
from any sum received by the Trustee from the successor to the Master Servicer
in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any
public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing
rights and responsibilities hereunder and the amount of any unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and Periodic Advances owed to the Trustee. After such
deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Trustee to the Master
Servicer at the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to the Master
Servicer's successor.
(d) The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and any successor
master servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's servicing
responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide the Trustee or
such successor master servicer, as applicable, at the Master Servicer's cost and
expense, all documents and records reasonably requested by it to enable it to
assume the Master Servicer's functions hereunder and shall promptly also
transfer to the Trustee or such successor master servicer, as applicable, all
amounts that then have been or should have been deposited in the Collection
Account by the Master Servicer or that are thereafter received with respect to
the Mortgage Loans. Any collections received by the Master Servicer after such
removal or resignation shall be endorsed by it to the Trustee and remitted
directly to the Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, to the successor
master servicer. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer
shall be held liable by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making,
any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of
the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or
records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over the Master Servicer hereunder. No appointment of a successor
to the Master Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer shall have consented in writing thereto, and written notice
of such proposed appointment shall have been provided by the Trustee to the
Certificate Insurer and to
-69-
each Certificateholder. The Trustee shall not resign as master servicer until a
successor master servicer reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Insurer has
been appointed.
(e) 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 pursuant
to Section 5.14, together with other Master Servicing Compensation. The Master
Servicer, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with
this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
Section 7.03 WAIVER OF DEFAULTS. The Majority Certificateholders
may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, and subject to the consent of the
Certificate Insurer, waive any events permitting removal of the Master Servicer
as master servicer pursuant to this Article VII; provided, however, that the
Majority Certificateholders may not waive a default in making a required
distribution on a Certificate without the consent of the holder of such
Certificate. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the
extent expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the
Trustee to the Rating Agencies.
Section 7.04 MORTGAGE LOANS, TRUST FUND AND ACCOUNTS HELD FOR
BENEFIT OF THE CERTIFICATE INSURER. (a) The Trustee shall hold the Trust Fund
and the Mortgage Files for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer and all references in this Agreement and in the Certificates
to the benefit of Holders of the Certificates shall be deemed to include the
Certificate Insurer. The Trustee shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with
any reasonable request by the Certificate Insurer for action to preserve or
enforce the Certificate Insurer's rights or interests under this Agreement and
the Certificates unless, as stated in an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the
Trustee and the Certificate Insurer, such action is adverse to the interests of
the Certificateholders or diminishes the rights of the Certificateholders or
imposes additional burdens or restrictions on the Certificateholders.
(b) The Master Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall
service the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Certificateholders and for the
benefit of the Certificate Insurer, and all references in this Agreement to the
benefit of or actions on behalf of the Certificateholders shall be deemed to
include the Certificate Insurer.

ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION
Section 8.01 TERMINATION. (a) Subject to Section 8.02, this
Agreement shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee of either: (i) the
disposition of all funds with respect to the last Mortgage Loan and the
remittance of all funds due hereunder and the payment of all amounts due and
payable to the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee or (ii) mutual consent of the
Master Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and all Certificateholders in writing;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust Fund established by this
Agreement terminate later than twenty-one years after the death of the last
surviving lineal descendant of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, late Ambassador of the United
States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, alive as of the date hereof.
(b) In addition, subject to Section 8.02, the Master Servicer may, at
its option and at its sole cost and expense, terminate this Agreement on any
date on which the related Pool Principal Balance is less than 10% of the sum of
(x) the aggregate of the Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans on the Cut-off
Date plus (y) the aggregate of the Principal Balances of the Subsequent Mortgage
Loans on their respective Subsequent Cut-off Dates, by purchasing, on the next
succeeding Distribution Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties at a price (the "Termination Price") equal to the sum of (i) 100% of
the Principal Balance of each such outstanding Mortgage Loan and each REO
Property, (ii) the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest on such
Mortgage Loans through the related due period and 30 days' interest on such
Mortgage Loans at a rate equal to the related Mortgage Interest Rate (net of the
Master Servicing Fee) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) any unreimbursed
amounts due to the Certificate Insurer under this Agreement or the Insurance
Agreement, (iv) the amount of any unreimbursed Servicing Advances made by the
Master Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loans and (v) any excess of
the actual stated principal balance of each such Mortgage Loan and REO Property
over the Principal Balance thereof, the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid
interest on such excess through the related due period and 30 days' interest on
such excess at a rate equal to the related Mortgage Interest Rate with respect
to each related Mortgage Loan. Any such purchase shall be accomplished by
deposit into the Certificate Account of the Termination Price. From the
Termination Price so deposited, the Trustee shall reimburse the Master Servicer
for the amount of any unpaid Master Servicing Fees, unreimbursed Periodic
Advances and unreimbursed Servicing Advances made by the Master Servicer with
respect to the related Mortgage Loans. No such termination is permitted without
the prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer (i) if it would result in a
draw on the Certificate Insurance Policy or (ii) unless the Master Servicer
shall have delivered to the Certificate Insurer an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Certificate Insurer stating that no amounts paid hereunder
are subject to recapture as preferential transfers under the United States
Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. xx.xx. 101 et seq., as amended.
(c) If on any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer determines that
there are no outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the
Trust Fund other than funds in the related Distribution Account, the Master
Servicer shall send a final distribution notice promptly to the related
Certificateholders in accordance with paragraph (d) below.
-71-
(d) Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon
which the Trust Fund will terminate and that the Certificateholders shall
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 Certificateholders mailed during the month of such final
distribution before the Distribution Date in such month, specifying (i) the
Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee
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 Trustee therein specified. The Master Servicer shall give such
notice to the Trustee therein specified. The Master Servicer shall give such
notice to the Trustee at the time such notice is given to the
Certificateholders. The obligations of the Certificate Insurer hereunder shall
terminate upon the deposit by the Master Servicer with the Trustee of a sum
sufficient to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties in the Trust
Fund as set forth above and when the aggregate Security Balance of the
Certificates has been reduced to zero.
(e) In the event that all Certificateholders do not surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within six months after the time specified in the
above-mentioned written notice, the Master Servicer shall give a second written
notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
six months after the second notice, all of the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may
appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain subject
hereto. If within nine months after the second notice all the Certificates shall
not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholders shall
be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto
and the Trustee upon transfer of such funds shall be discharged of any
responsibility for such funds and the Certificateholders shall look only to such
Class R Certificateholders for payment. Such funds shall remain uninvested.
Section 8.02 ADDITIONAL TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS. (a) In the event
that the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option with respect to the Trust
Fund as provided in Section 8.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in
accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has
been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the
Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 8.02 will not (i)
result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust Fund
as defined in Section 860F of the Code or (ii) cause the Trust Fund to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Class A 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;
-72-
(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 of the Class R Certificates all
cash on hand in the Trust Fund (other than cash retained to meet claims),
and the REMIC shall terminate at that time.
(b) By their acceptance of the Class R Certificates, the Holders
thereof hereby agree to authorize the Trustee to specify the 90-day liquidation
period for the Trust Fund, which authorization shall be binding upon all
successor Class R Certificateholders.
Section 8.03 ACCOUNTING UPON TERMINATION OF MASTER SERVICER. Upon
termination of the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall, at its expense:
(a) deliver to its successor or, if none shall yet have been
appointed, to the Trustee, the funds in any Account;

appointed, to the Trustee all of the Mortgage Files and related documents
and statements held by it hereunder and a Mortgage Loan portfolio computer
tape;
(c) deliver to its successor or, if none shall yet have been
appointed, to the Trustee and, upon request, to the Certificateholders a
full accounting of all funds, including a statement showing the Monthly
Payments collected by it and a statement of monies held in trust by it for
the payments or charges with respect to the Mortgage Loans; and
(d) execute and deliver such instruments and perform all acts
reasonably requested in order to effect the orderly and efficient transfer
of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to its successor and to more fully and
definitively vest in such successor all rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the "Master Servicer"
under this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 9.01 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 its
exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of such person's 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 on their face to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however,
that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any
resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other
instrument furnished by the Master Servicer or the Originator hereunder. If any
such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in
a material manner, the Trustee shall take action as it deems appropriate to have
the instrument corrected and will provide notice thereof to 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 willful 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 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;
-74-
(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;
(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 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 9.02 CERTAIN MATTERS AFFECTING THE TRUSTEE. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 9.01:
(a) The Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers'
Certificate, Opinion of Counsel, certificate of auditors or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties;
(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 or the Certificate Insurer,
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such
Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer, as the case may be, shall
have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the
obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been
cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as
a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of such person's 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 by at least a 25% Percentage Interest of any Class of Class A
Certificates; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities
-75-
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 such
Certificateholders, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against
such expense, or liability from such Certificateholders as a condition to
taking any such action;
(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;
(g) The right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act
enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the
Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful
misconduct in the performance of such act; and
(h) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in
respect of the execution of the Trust created hereby or the powers granted
hereunder.
Section 9.03 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 Depositor in respect of the Mortgage Loans
or deposited in or withdrawn from the Custodial Account or the Certificate
Accounts 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 6.01.
Section 9.04 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 9.05 PAYMENT OF TRUSTEE'S FEES. The Master Servicer
covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive, reasonable compensation (which shall not be
limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an
express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts
hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and
duties hereunder of the Trustee and the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse
the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred or made by it in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ)
except any such expense, disbursement, or advance as may arise from its
negligence or bad faith.
The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee and
any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee against any losses,
liabilities, damages, claims
-76-
or expenses (including reasonable legal fees and such related expenses) that may
be sustained by the Trustee in connection with this Agreement related to the
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the Master
Servicer's duties hereunder.
Section 9.06 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 the
Rating Agencies rating the Certificates. If such corporation publishes reports
of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section 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 9.07.
The corporation or national banking association serving as Trustee may have
normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor 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 9.07 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 Certificate Insurer, the Master
Servicer 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 written consent of the
Certificate Insurer, promptly appoint a successor trustee who meets the
eligibility requirements of Section 9.06 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 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 the 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 9.06 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Master Servicer or the Certificate Insurer, 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 the Rating Agencies in respect of mortgage pass-through
certificates having a rating equal to the then current rating on the
Certificates, then the Master Servicer, with the written consent of the
Certificate Insurer, may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee who
meets the eligibility requirements of
-77-
Section 9.06 by written 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 Depositor by the Master Servicer.
The Majority Certificateholders, with the written consent of the
Certificate Insurer, 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 9.08.
Section 9.08 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. Any successor trustee appointed as
provided in Section 9.07 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 of the 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 9.06.
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 all Holders of Certificates at
their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register provided that the Master
Servicer has received such 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.
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 written
consent of the Certificate Insurer.
Section 9.09 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
-78-
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 9.06, 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 9.10 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
9.10, 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 9.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of
Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be
required under Section 9.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 9.10 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.
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 IX. 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,
-79-
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.

ARTICLE X
REMIC PROVISIONS
Section 10.01 REMIC ADMINISTRATION. (a) The Trustee shall make an
--------------------
election to treat the Trust Fund 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. For purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the
Trust Fund, (i) the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates shall be
designated as the "regular interests" and the Class R Certificates shall be
designated as the sole Class of "residual interest" in the REMIC. The Trustee
shall not permit the creation of any "interests" in the Trust Fund (within the
meaning of Section 860G of the Code) other than the REMIC regular interests and
the interests represented by the Certificates.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the Startup Day of the
Trust Fund 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 the Trust Fund
(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, as agent for the tax matters person, shall (i)
act on behalf of the Trust Fund in relation to any tax matter or controversy
involving the Trust Fund and (ii) represent the Trust Fund in any administrative
or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental
taxing authority with respect thereto. The Holder of the largest Percentage
Interest in the Class R Certificates from time to time is hereby designated as
Tax Matters Person with respect to the Trust Fund and hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Trustee to act its agent to perform the duties of
the Tax Matters Person with respect to the Trust Fund. To the extent authorized
under the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, each Holder of a
Class R 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 the Trust Fund.
(d) The Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared, sign and file
all of the Tax Returns in respect of the Trust Fund created hereunder, other
than Tax Returns required to be filed by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
5.25. 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 the Trust Fund all
reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of the
Trust Fund 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
-81-
Certificate and to the Internal Revenue Service such information as is necessary
for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate
to any Person who is not a Disqualified Organization, (ii) to 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 and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title,
address and telephone number of the person who will serve as the representative
of the Trust Fund. 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 the Trust Fund
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 the Trust Fund 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 the Trust Fund as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax
upon the Trust Fund (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 the Trust Fund created
hereunder, endanger such status or result in the imposition of 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 the Trust Fund or its assets, or causing the Trust Fund 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 the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall not take any such
action or cause the Trust Fund 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 the Trust Fund 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
-82-
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 V or this Article X, or
otherwise (iii) against amounts on deposit in the related Certificate Account
and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.
(h) On or before April 15 of each calendar year, commencing April 15, 1997,
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) 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 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 the Trust Fund 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 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the
Treasury Regulations, the "latest possible maturity date" of the Class A
Certificates is ___________ 25, 20__.
(m) Upon filing with the Internal Revenue Service, the Trustee shall
furnish to the Holders of the Class R Certificates the Form 1066 and each Form
1066Q.
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 VIII 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 Distribution Accounts 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
-83-
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 of the Trustee's covenants set forth in
this Article X.
(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 V 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
pursuant to Section 5.25 that contain errors or omissions.

ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 11.01 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER
SERVICER. 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 Certificate Insurer, 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 or the Depositor pursuant to
any other Section hereof; and provided further that this provision shall not
protect the 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 this Agreement, or any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance
of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder. 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 the event the Depositor or the Master Servicer
take any action as described in the preceding sentence, the legal expenses and
costs of such action, if previously approved in writing by the Certificate
Insurer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and any liability
resulting therefrom will be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund,
and the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, will be entitled
to be reimbursed therefor out of funds in the Collection Account.
Section 11.02 ACTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS. (a) Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, whenever Certificateholder action, consent or
approval is required under this Agreement, such action, consent or approval
shall be deemed to have been taken or given on behalf of, and shall be binding
upon, all Certificateholders if the Majority
-85-
Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer agrees to take such action or give
such consent or approval.
(b) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate
to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heir to claim an accounting or to
take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the
Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto or any of them.
(c) No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation
and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor
shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates,
be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under
any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties
to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
Section 11.03 AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee without the consent
of any of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to
correct, modify or supplement any provisions herein which may be inconsistent
with any other provisions herein, (iii) to obtain, maintain or improve the
rating of any Class of Certificates; provided, however, that after obtaining the
initial ratings set forth herein none of the Depositor, Master Servicer or
Trustee is obligated to obtain, maintain or improve the rating of any Class,
(iv) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising
under this Agreement which are not materially inconsistent with the provisions
hereof amend this Agreement in any respect subject to the provisions below or
(v) if such amendment, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the
Person requesting such amendment) delivered to the Trustee, is reasonably
necessary to comply with any requirements imposed by the Code or any successor
or amendatory statute or any temporary or final regulation, revenue ruling,
revenue procedure or other written official announcement or interpretation
relating to federal income tax laws or any proposed such action which, if made
effective, would apply retroactively to the Trust Fund at least from the
effective date of such amendment; provided that in the case of clause (iv) such
action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder (other than Certificateholders who shall consent to such
amendment) or the Certificate Insurer, as evidenced either by an Opinion of
Counsel (provided by the Person requesting such amendment) or written
notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that such amendment will not
cause such Rating Agency to lower or withdraw the then current ratings on the
Certificates, delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Certificate Insurer
and the Majority Certificateholders of each Class affected by such amendment for
the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights
of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate
-86-
without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the
aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Holders of which are required to
consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Certificate Insurer
and the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of
consents pursuant to this Section 11.03, Certificates registered in the name of
the Depositor or the Master Servicer or any affiliate thereof shall be entitled
to voting rights with respect to matters described in (i), (ii) and (iii) of
this paragraph.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first
received an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the Person requesting such
amendment) to the effect that such amendment will not result in the imposition
of any tax on the Trust Fund pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause the Trust
Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any of the Certificates are
outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall
furnish a statement describing the amendment to each Certificateholder, the
Certificate Insurer, and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section 11.03 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to enter into any
amendment pursuant to this Section that affects its rights, duties and
immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section 11.04 RECORDATION OF AGREEMENT. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, this Agreement, or a memorandum thereof if permitted under
applicable law, is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for
real property records in all of the counties or other comparable jurisdictions
in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
issued in __________ Classes designated as Residential Mortgage-Backed
Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the

specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In the event that Master
Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is
reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement,

been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account

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 Certificate Insurer and the

shall be conclusive and binding on such holder and upon all future holders of

made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in
certain circumstances without the consent of the holders of any of the

therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the

surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or

distributions with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of
conventional one- to four-family fixed rate first lien and second lien

Agreement dated as specified above (the "Agreement") among the Depositor,
___________________________, as master servicer (the "Master Servicer") and
_____________________________, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of 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.
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund
and does not represent an obligation of or interest in the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates. Neither this
Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any

the Trustee or any of their affiliates. None of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to
any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the
Certificates.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing as
described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is

preceding the month of such Distribution Date (the "Record Date"), from the
Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest
and principal, if any) required to be distributed to Holders of Class [R]

in violation of such restrictions, then the Depositor will have the right, in
its sole discretion and without notice to the Holder of this Certificate, to
sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor, which purchaser
may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor, on such terms and
conditions as the Depositor may choose.

No transfer of any Class R 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

without such registration or qualification, (a) the Trustee and the Depositor
shall require the transferee to execute an investment letter, which investment
letter shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the
Trustee and (b) in the event that such a transfer is not made pursuant to Rule
144A under the Act, the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory
to the Trustee and the Depositor 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]
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.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon
presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed
by the Trustee for that purpose. The Percentage Interest this Certificate is set
forth above. Notwithstanding the fact this Certificate has no Certificate
Principal Balance, this Certificate will remain outstanding under the Agreement
and the Holder hereof may have additional obligations with respect to this
Certificate, including tax liabilities, and may be entitled to certain
additional distributions hereon, in accordance with the terms and provisions of
the Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
issued in ____ Classes designated as Residential Mortgage-Backed Certificates of
the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the "Certificates").
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. In the event that Master
Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is
reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement,
from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have
been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account
and/or the Certificate Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may
be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes other than
distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation
reimbursement to the Depositor and the Master Servicer of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment of the Agreement 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
-4-
by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the
Certificate Insurer and the Majority Certificateholders. 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 herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of
the Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances,
without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of 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 offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee in the City and
State of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such
Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided
in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations
evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar 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.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the
Certificates and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the payment
to 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 maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto
or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer
from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans, thereby effecting early
retirement of the Class R Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not
require, such Class R Certificateholder, the Master Servicer or the Certificate
Insurer, as applicable, to purchase at a price determined as provided in the
-5-
Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans; provided, that any such option may only
be exercised if the Pool Principal Balance as of the Distribution Date upon
which the proceeds of any such purchase are distributed is less than 10% of the
Original Pool Principal Balance.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

FORM OF TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT
State of ___________ )
) ss.:
County of __________ )
[NAME OF OFFICER], being first duly sworn, deposes and says:
1. That he is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Owner] (record or
beneficial owner of the Residential Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 199__-
__, Class R (the "Owner")), a [savings institution] [corporation] duly organized
and existing under the laws of [the State of __________________] [the United
States], on behalf of which he makes this affidavit and agreement.
2. That the Owner (i) is not and will not be a "disqualified
organization" as of [date of transfer] within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), (ii) will
endeavor to remain other than a disqualified organization for so long as it
retains its ownership interest in the Class R Certificates, and (iii) is
acquiring the Class R Certificates for its own account or for the account of
another Owner from which it has received an affidavit and agreement in
substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. (For this purpose,
a "disqualified organization" means the United States, any state or political
subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing
(other than an instrumentality all of the activities of which are subject to tax
and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose
board of directors is not selected by any such governmental entity) or any
foreign government, international organization or any agency or instrumentality
of such foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone
cooperative, or any organization (other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that
is generally exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject
to the tax on unrelated business taxable income).
3. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
transfers of Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Code,
that applies to all transfers of Class R Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii)
that such tax would be on the transferor, or, if such transfer is through an
agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a disqualified
organization, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax
shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such
person an affidavit that the transferee is not a disqualified organization and,
at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the
affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Class [R] Certificates may be "noneconomic
residual interests" within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual
interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
4. That the Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the
transfer of any Class R Certificates unless the transferee, or the transferee's
agent, delivers to it an affidavit and
agreement, among other things, in substantially the same form as this affidavit
and agreement. The Owner expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such
transfer if it knows or believes that any of the representations contained in
such affidavit and agreement are false.
5. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the
face of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 4.02(i) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued
(in particular, clause (g) and (h) of Section 4.02(i) which authorize the
Trustee to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner in the event the
Owner holds such Certificates in violation of Section 4.02(i)). The Owner
expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and
provisions.
6. That the Owner consents to any additional restrictions or
arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be
owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is not a disqualified
organization.
7. The Owner's Taxpayer Identification Number is ___________.
8. This affidavit and agreement relates only to the Class R
Certificates held by the Owner and not to any other holder of the Class R
Certificates. The Owner understands that the liabilities described herein relate
only to the Class R Certificates.
9. That no purpose of the Owner relating to the transfer of any of
the Class R Certificates by the Owner is or will be to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax.
10. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the
Certificates remain outstanding. In this regard, the Owner hereby represents to
and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificate
that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R
Certificate as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax
liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificate.
11. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any
of the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.
12. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate
whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its
source, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise
primary jurisdiction over the administration of such trust and one or more
persons described in this Paragraph 12 controls all substantial decisions of
such trust.

Re: RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE-BACKED CERTIFICATES, SERIES 199__-__
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by
_______________________________ (the "Seller") to ____________________________
(the "Purchaser") of a ____% Percentage Interests of Residential Mortgage
Backed Certificates, Series 199__-__, Class R Certificates (the "Certificates"),

used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller hereby certifies, represents and
warrants to, and covenants with, the Depositor and the Trustee that:
1. No purpose of the Seller relating to the transfer of the
Certificates by the Seller to the Purchaser is or will be to impede the
assessment or collection of any tax.
2. The Seller understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the
Trustee and the Master Servicer a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form
attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit I. The Seller does
not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.
3. The Seller has at the time of the transfer conducted a reasonable
investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that
investigation, the Seller has determined that the Purchaser has historically
paid its debts as they become due and has found no significant evidence to
indicate that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as they become
due in the future. The Seller understands that the transfer of a Class R
Certificate may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the
Seller may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated
therewith) unless the Seller has conducted such an investigation.
4. The Seller has no actual knowledge that the proposed Purchaser is
not both a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee.

[Trustee]
Re: JV Capital Trust Residential Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series
199_-_
Ladies and Gentlemen:
_______________________(the "Purchaser") intends to purchase from
____________________ (the "Seller"), a ____% Percentage Interest of Residential
Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 199_-_, Class _____ (the "Certificates"),
issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement"), dated as of ____________, 199_ among JV Capital Trust, as
depositor (the "Depositor"), ______________________________, as master servicer,
and _________________________, 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 Depositor 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
Depositor 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, 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 copy of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
such other
information concerning the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and the
Depositor as has been requested by the Purchaser from the Depositor 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 Depositor 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 Depositor, the Purchaser
acknowledges that such Memorandum was provided to it by the Seller,
that the Memorandum was prepared by the Depositor solely for use in
connection with the Original Sale and the Depositor 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 Depositor 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 the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, (the "Code"), nor a Person
acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such plan, and
understands that registration of transfer of any Certificate to any
such employee benefit plan, or to any person acting on behalf of such
plan, will not be made unless such employee benefit plan delivers an
opinion of its counsel, addressed and satisfactory to the Trustee, the
Depositor and the Master Servicer, to the effect that the purchase and
holding of a Certificate by or on behalf of such employee benefit 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
-2-
result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, and would not subject the Depositor, 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. The Purchaser understands that under current law
such an opinion cannot be rendered.

Depositor to the Trustee as provided in this Section be, and be construed as, a
sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholders. It is, further, not intended that such conveyance be
deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure
a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that the
Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, or if for any reason
this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage
Loans, then it is intended that, (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a
security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable
jurisdiction; (b) the conveyance provided for in this Section shall be deemed to
be (1) a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of
the Depositor's right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and
interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (A) the Mortgage
Loans, including the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, any related insurance

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 (C) granted by the Originator to the Depositor pursuant to the 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, at the Depositor's direction, the Originator and the Trustee
shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable
actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to
create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, 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.

Responsible Officer of the Trustee to be an Affiliate of the Depositor or the
Master Servicer. The Trustee hereby appoints ___________________ as the initial
Custodian.

showing a complete chain of endorsements from the originator of such

recourse in the following form: "Pay to the order of, without recourse"
and signed in the name of the Originator by an authorized officer;
(ii) The original Mortgage with evidence of recording indicated

original documents, the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee a true copy
thereof with a certification by the Originator on the face of such copy

Depositor agrees, at its own expense, to record (or to provide the Trustee with
evidence of recordation thereof) each assignment referred to in clause (iii)
above promptly after the Closing Date in the appropriate public office for real
property records, provided that such assignments are redelivered by the Trustee
to the Originator upon the Originator's written request and at the Originator's
expense, unless the Originator (at its expense) furnishes to the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer and the Rating Agencies an unqualified Opinion of Counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that recordation of such
assignment is not necessary under applicable state law to preserve the Trustee's
interest in the related Mortgage Loan against the
-28-

creditor of, the Originator.
Within a period of 14 days from the Closing Date, the Trustee shall

(with respect to the Mortgage Loans), and to deliver to the Originator, the
Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Certificate Insurer a certification in

as not covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be
delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.03 are in its possession, (ii) each such
document has been reviewed by it and has not been mutilated, damaged, torn or
otherwise physically altered (handwritten additions, changes or corrections
shall not constitute physical alteration if initialed by the
-29-
Mortgagor), appears regular on its face and relates to such Mortgage Loan, and
(iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the
information set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as to the information set
forth in (i), (ii), (v), (vi), (x), (xi), (xiii), (xiv), (xv), (xx) and (xxii)

insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any such Mortgage Loan.

the foregoing documents, the information set forth in (i), (ii), (v), (vi), (x),
(xi), (xiii), (xiv), (xv), (xx) and (xxii) of the definition of "Mortgage Loan
Schedule" set forth herein accurately reflects the information set forth in the

(b) If the Certificate Insurer or the Trustee during the process of
reviewing the Mortgage Files finds any document constituting a part of a
Mortgage File which is not executed, has not been received, is unrelated to the
Mortgage Loan identified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, or does not
conform to the requirements of Section 2.03 or the description thereof as set
forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Trustee or the Certificate
Insurer, as applicable, shall promptly so notify the Master Servicer, the
Originator, the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee. In performing any such
review, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the Originator as to the purported
genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. It is understood
that the scope of the Trustee's review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely
to confirming that the documents listed in Section 2.03 have been executed and
received and relate to the Mortgage Files identified in the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule and such documents conform to the standard set forth in clause
(ii) of the paragraph directly above. The Trustee shall request that the
Originator cure any such defect within 60 days from the date on which the
Originator was notified of such defect, and if the Originator does not cure such
defect in all material respects during such period, request that the Originator
(i) substitute in lieu of such Mortgage Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.03 or
(ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan on the next succeeding Remittance Date (but not
later than 90 days after the discovery of such defect) at a purchase price equal
to the actual stated principal balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the date of
purchase, plus all accrued and unpaid interest on such principal balance
computed at the Mortgage Interest Rate, plus the amount of any unpaid Master
Servicing Fees, unreimbursed Periodic Advances and unreimbursed Servicing
Advances made by the Master Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan, which
purchase price shall be deposited in the Collection
-30-
Account on the same Business Day, after deducting therefrom any amounts received
in respect of such repurchased Mortgage Loan or Loans and being held in the
Collection Account for future distribution to the extent such amounts have not
yet been applied to principal or interest on such Mortgage Loan (the "Loan
Repurchase Price"). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the
Originator to so cure or purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a material
defect in or omission of a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such defect or omission available to Certificateholders or the
Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. In addition, it is understood and
agreed that the Depositor has assigned to the Trustee all of its rights under
the Purchase Agreement and the right to enforce any remedy against the
Originator as provided in Section 2.05 of the Purchase Agreement. For purposes
of calculating the amount the Master Servicer is required to remit on the
Remittance Date following such repurchase or substitution, any Loan Repurchase
Price or Substitution Adjustment that is paid and deposited in the related
Collection Account as provided above shall be deemed to have been deposited in
the related Collection Account in the Due Period preceding such Remittance Date.
(c) Upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification of a Servicing
Officer of such substitution or purchase and, in the case of a substitution,
upon receipt of the related Mortgage File, and the deposit of the amounts
described above in the Collection Account (which certification shall be in the
form of Exhibit H hereto), the Trustee shall release to the Master Servicer for
release to the Originator the related Mortgage File and shall execute, without
recourse, and deliver such instruments of transfer furnished by the Originator
as may be necessary to transfer such Mortgage Loan to the Originator. The
Trustee shall notify the Certificate Insurer if the Originator fails to
repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan in accordance with the foregoing.
Section 2.05 EXECUTION OF CERTIFICATES. The Trustee acknowledges
the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans and the delivery of the Mortgage
Files relating thereto to it and, concurrently with such delivery, has executed,
authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange
for the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Files and the other assets included in the
definition of Trust Fund, Certificates duly authenticated by the Trustee in
Authorized Denominations evidencing the entire ownership of the Trust Fund.
Section 2.06 FURTHER ACTION EVIDENCING ASSIGNMENTS. (a) The
Depositor agrees that, from time to time, at the Originator's expense, the
Depositor shall cause the Originator promptly to execute and deliver all further
instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or
appropriate, or that the Master Servicer or the Trustee may reasonably request,
in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the transfer of ownership of
the Trust Fund or to enable the Trustee to exercise or enforce any of its rights
hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor will,
upon the request of the Master Servicer or of the Trustee execute and file (or
cause to be executed and filed) such real estate filings, financing or
continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such
other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate.

(f) The Depositor is not in default with respect to any order or
decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal,
state, municipal or governmental agency that would materially and adversely
affect its performance hereunder.
It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and
covenants set forth in this Section 3.02 shall survive delivery of the
respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee or to a custodian, as the case may be,
and shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer.
Section 3.03 PURCHASE AND SUBSTITUTION. (a) It is understood and
agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections ____ and
____ of the Purchase Agreement shall survive delivery of the Certificates to the
Certificateholders. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, with respect to any
representation or warranty contained in Sections ____ and ____ of the Purchase
Agreement that is made to the best of the Depositor's knowledge, if it is
discovered by the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer or any
Certificateholder that the substance of such representation and warranty was
inaccurate as of the Closing Date and such inaccuracy materially and adversely
affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, then notwithstanding the
Depositor's lack of knowledge with respect to the inaccuracy at the time the
representation or warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of
the applicable representation or warranty. Upon discovery by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Insurer of a breach of any of
such representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the
value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Certificateholders or the
Certificate Insurer, or which materially and adversely affects the interests of
the Certificate Insurer or the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan
in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage
Loan (notwithstanding that such representation and warranty was made to the
Originator's best knowledge), the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the others. Subject to the last paragraph of this
Section 3.03, within 60 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of
notice of any breach of a representation or warranty, pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, the Depositor shall be required to (a) promptly cure such breach in
all material respects, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan on the next succeeding
Remittance Date, in the manner and at the price specified in Section 2.04(b), or
(c) remove such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become
a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans; provided, that, such substitution is effected not later than the
date which is two years after the Startup Day or at such later date, if the
Trustee and the
-34-
Certificate Insurer receive an Opinion of Counsel to the effect set forth below
in this Section. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, any such substitution shall
be accompanied by payment by the Depositor of the Substitution Adjustment, if
any, to be deposited in the Collection Account.
(b) As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Depositor
substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Depositor shall
be required pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to effect such substitution by
delivering to the Trustee a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
H, executed by a Servicing Officer and the documents described in Sections
2.03(a)(i)-(vi) for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans.
(c) The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account all
payments received in connection with such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans after the date of such substitution. Monthly Payments received with
respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans on or before the date of
substitution will be retained by the Depositor. The Trust Fund will own all
payments received on the Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the date of
substitution, and the Depositor shall thereafter be entitled to retain all
amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The
Master Servicer shall give written notice to the Trustee and the Certificate
Insurer that such substitution has taken place and shall amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of
this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan.
Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall
be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.
(d) It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Originator
set forth in Sections ____ and ____ of the Purchase Agreement to cure, purchase
or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan as provided in Sections ____ and
____ constitute the sole remedies of the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and
the Certificateholders respecting a breach of the representations and warranties
of the Originator set forth in Sections ____ and ____ of the Purchase Agreement.
In addition, it is understood and agreed that the Depositor has assigned to the
Trustee all of its rights under the Purchase Agreement and the right to enforce
any remedy against the Originator as provided in Section 3.04 of the Purchase
Agreement. The Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Certificate
Insurer and the Rating Agencies of any repurchase or substitution made pursuant
to this Section 3.03 or Section 2.04(b).
(e) Upon discovery by the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer or any Certificateholder that any Mortgage Loan does not
constitute a Qualified Mortgage, the party discovering such fact shall promptly
(and in any event within five days of the discovery) give written notice thereof
to the other parties. In connection therewith, pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, the Depositor shall be required to repurchase or substitute a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days
of the earlier of such discovery by any of the foregoing parties, or the
Trustee's or the Depositor's receipt of notice, in the same manner as it would a
Mortgage Loan for a breach of representation or warranty contained in Section
____ or ____ of the Purchase Agreement. The Trustee shall reconvey to the
Depositor the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner,
and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased
for breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section ____ or ____ of
the Purchase Agreement.

ARTICLE IV
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 4.01 THE CERTIFICATES. The Certificates shall be
substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits B-1 and B-2. The
Certificates shall be issued in Authorized Denominations only. All Certificates
shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by
an authorized officer and authenticated by the manual or facsimile signature of
an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the signatures of individuals who
were at the time of the execution of the Certificates the authorized 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 delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. All
Certificates issued hereunder shall be dated the date of their authentication.
Section 4.02 REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES.
(a) The Trustee, as registrar, shall cause to be kept a register (the
"Certificate Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it
may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates
and the registration of transfer of Certificates. The Trustee is hereby
appointed registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers of
Certificates as herein provided. The Certificate Insurer shall be entitled to
inspect and verify the Certificate Register and the records of the Trustee
relating to the Certificates during normal business hours upon reasonable
notice.
(b) All Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of Certificates shall be valid evidence of the same ownership interests
in the Trust Fund and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the
Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(c) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(d) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration
of transfer or exchange of Certificates, 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 registration of transfer or exchange of
Certificates; any other expenses in connection with such transfer or exchange
shall be an expense of the Trust Fund.
(e) It is intended that the Class A Certificates be registered so as
to participate in a global book-entry system with the Depository, as set forth
herein. Each Class of Class A Certificates shall, except as otherwise provided
in the next paragraph, be initially issued in the form of a single fully
registered Class A Certificate of such Class with a denomination equal to the
Original Security Balance of such Class. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of
each such Class A Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register in
the name of Cede & Co., or any successor thereto, as nominee for the Depository.
The Depositor and the Trustee are hereby authorized to execute and deliver the
Representation Letter with the Depository. With respect to
-36-
Class A Certificates registered in the Certificate Register in the name of Cede
& Co., as nominee of the Depository, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee and the Certificate Insurer shall have no responsibility or obligation
to Direct or Indirect Participants or beneficial owners for which the Depository
holds Class A Certificates from time to time as a Depository. Without limiting
the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee and the Certificate Insurer shall have no responsibility or obligation
with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, Cede & Co.,
or any Direct or Indirect Participant with respect to any Ownership Interest,
(ii) the delivery to any Direct or Indirect Participant or any other Person,
other than a Certificateholder, of any notice with respect to the Class A
Certificates or (iii) the payment to any Direct or Indirect Participant or any
other Person, other than a Certificateholder, of any amount with respect to any
distribution of principal or interest on the Class A Certificates. No Person
other than a Certificateholder shall receive a certificate evidencing such Class
A Certificate. Upon delivery by the Depository to the Trustee of written notice
to the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new nominee in
place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions hereof with respect to the
payment of interest by the mailing of checks or drafts to the Certificateholders
appearing as Certificateholders at the close of business on a Record Date, the
name "Cede & Co." in this Agreement shall refer to such new nominee of the
Depository.
(f) In the event that (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the
Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge
properly its responsibilities as nominee and depository with respect to the
Class A Certificates and the Depositor or the Depository is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) the Depositor at its sole option elects to terminate
the book-entry system through the Depository, the Class A Certificates shall no
longer be restricted to being registered in the Certificate Register in the name
of Cede & Co. (or a successor nominee) as nominee of the Depository. At that
time, the Depositor may determine that the Class A Certificates shall be
registered in the name of and deposited with a successor depository operating a
global book-entry system, as may be acceptable to the Depositor, or such
depository's agent or designee but, if the Depositor does not select such
alternative global book-entry system, then the Class A Certificates may be
registered in whatever name or names Certificateholders transferring Class A
Certificates shall designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof;
provided, however, that any such reregistration shall be at the expense of the
Depositor.
(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, so long as any Class A Certificate is registered in the name of Cede &
Co., as nominee of the Depository, all distributions of principal or interest on
such Class A Certificates as the case may be and all notices with respect to
such Class A Certificates as the case may be shall be made and given,
respectively, in the manner provided in the Representation Letter.
(h) Except as provided in Section 4.02(i), no transfer, sale, pledge
or other disposition of a Class B or Class R Certificate 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 B or Class R Certificate is to be
made under this Section 4.02(h), (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
-37-
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 O hereto, and the Trustee shall
require the transferor to execute a representation letter, substantially in the
form of Exhibit P 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 that such representation letter will not be required in connection with
any transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to 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.
(i) Transfers of Certificates may be made in accordance with this
Section 4.02(i) if the prospective transferee of a Certificate provides the
Trustee and the Depositor with an investment letter substantially in the form of
Exhibit Q 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 4.02(h) hereof; provided, however,
that no Transfer of any of the Certificates may be made pursuant to this Section
4.02(i) 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.
(j) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Class R 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 appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (8) below and to
execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in
connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the
following provisions:
(1) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class
R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the
Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(2) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Class R Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery to it, and
shall not register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate until its
receipt of, an affidavit and agreement (a "Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement") attached hereto as Exhibit I from the proposed Transferee, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, representing and
warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted
Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class R
Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer
-38-
as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and
that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 4.02(j) and agrees to
be bound by them.
(3) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement
by a proposed Transferee under clause (2) above, if the Trustee has actual
knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed
Transferee shall be effected.
(4) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class
R 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 Certificate and (y) not to transfer its
Ownership Interest unless it provides a certificate (attached hereto as
Exhibit J) to the Trustee stating that, among other things, it has no
actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(5) The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate
only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement and all
of such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the
Trustee as a condition to such registration. In addition, no Transfer of a
Class R Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received a
representation letter from the Transferee of such Certificate to the effect
that such Transferee is not a Disqualified Non-United States Person and is
not a Disqualified Organization. Transfers of the Class R Certificates to
Disqualified Non-United States Persons and Disqualified Organizations are
prohibited.
(6) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 4.02
shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported
transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 4.02, then the
last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such
Class R Certificate. The Trustee shall notify the Depositor upon receipt of
written notice or discovery by a Responsible Officer that the registration
of transfer of a Class R Certificate was not in fact permitted by this
Section 4.02. Knowledge shall not be imputed to the Trustee with respect to
an impermissible transfer in the absence of such a written notice or
discovery by a Responsible Officer. The Trustee shall be under no liability
to any Person for any registration of transfer of a Class R Certificate
that is in fact not permitted by this Section 4.02 or for making any
payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement
so long as the transfer was registered after receipt of the related
Transfer Affidavit and Transfer Certificate. The Trustee shall be entitled,
but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Class R Certificate that
was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or,
at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all
payments made on such Class R Certificate at and after either such time.
Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered
by the Trustee to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate.
-39-
(k) 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 Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified
Organization, including the information regarding "excess inclusions" of such
Class R 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 Class R 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.
(l) No transfer of a Class R Certificate or any interest therein shall
be made to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement, including
individual retirement accounts and annuities, Xxxxx plans and collective
investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts or
arrangements are invested, that is subject to the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or the Code (each, a "Plan"), unless
the prospective transferee of such Class R Certificate provides the Master
Servicer and the Trustee with a certification of facts and, at the prospective
transferee's expense, an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the satisfaction
of the Master Servicer and the Trustee that such transfer will not result in a
violation of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or cause the
Master Servicer or the Trustee to be deemed a fiduciary of such Plan or result
in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code. In the
absence of their having received the certification of facts or Opinion of
Counsel contemplated by the preceding sentence, the Trustee and the Master
Servicer shall require the prospective transferee of any Class R Certificate to
certify in the form of Exhibit O or Exhibit Q that (A) it is neither (i) a Plan
nor (ii) a Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing a Class R Certificate
on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets, of a Plan
and (B) all funds used by such transferee to purchase such Certificates will be
funds held by it in its general account which it reasonably believes do not
constitute "plan assets" of any Plan.
(m) Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement, upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office or
agency of the Trustee located in New York, New York, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate and deliver in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, a new Certificate of the same Class and Percentage Interest and
dated the date of authentication by the Trustee. At the option of the
Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of
Authorized Denominations of a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender
of the Certificates to be exchanged at such office. 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. No service charge shall be made 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. All Certificates
surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled by the Trustee.
-40-
Section 4.03 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES. If
(a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or
indemnity as may reasonably be required by each of them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate
has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and
Percentage Interest, but bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 4.03, the Trustee
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and their fees and
expenses connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this
Section 4.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in
the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 4.04 PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer and subject to the provisions of
Section 4.02 and Article X, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate
Insurer and the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is
registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
remittances pursuant to Section 6.05 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and
the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee
shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.

ARTICLE V
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 5.01 APPOINTMENT OF THE MASTER SERVICER. (a) ________
agrees to act as the Master Servicer and to perform all servicing duties under
this Agreement subject to the terms hereof.
(b) The Master Servicer shall master service and administer the
Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trustee and shall have full power and authority,
acting alone or through one or more Subservicers, to do any and all things in
connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or
desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer
may, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to, execute and
deliver, on behalf of itself, 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, the insurance policies and accounts related thereto and the
properties subject to the Mortgages. Upon the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, and from time to time as may be required thereafter, the Trustee
shall execute for the Master Servicer any powers of attorney and such other
documents as may be necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to
carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.
In servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer
shall employ procedures consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and in a
manner consistent with recovery under any insurance policy required to be
maintained by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.
Costs incurred by the Master Servicer in effectuating the timely
payment of taxes and assessments on the property securing a Mortgage Note and
foreclosure costs may be added by the Master Servicer to the amount owing under
such Mortgage Note where the terms of such Mortgage Note so permit; provided,
however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for
purposes of calculating the principal amount of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage
Loan, the Monthly Payments on the Mortgage Note and Mortgage Loan or
distributions to be made to Certificateholders. Such costs shall be recoverable
by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 5.04.
(c) Subject to Section 5.12, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized
and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trustee and each
Certificateholder, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If
reasonably required by the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall execute any powers
of attorney furnished to the Trustee by the Master Servicer and other documents
necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.
(d) On and after such time as the Trustee receives the resignation of,
or notice of the removal of, the Master Servicer from its rights and obligations
under this Agreement, and
-42-
with respect to resignation pursuant to Section 5.24, after receipt by the
Trustee and the Certificate Insurer of the Opinion of Counsel required pursuant
to Section 5.24, the Trustee or its designee approved by the Certificate Insurer
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) shall assume all of the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer, subject to Section 7.02 hereof.
The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of the
Master Servicer, deliver to the Trustee all documents and records relating to
the Mortgage Loans and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the Master
Servicer and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of servicing rights and obligations to the assuming party.
(e) If the Mortgage relating to a Mortgage Loan did not have a lien
senior on the related Mortgaged Property as of the Cut-Off Date, then the Master
Servicer, in such capacity, may not consent to the placing of a lien senior to
that of the Mortgage on the related Mortgaged Property. If the Mortgage relating
to a Mortgage Loan had a lien senior to the Mortgage Loan on the related
Mortgaged Property as of the Cut-Off Date, then the Master Servicer, in such
capacity, may consent to the refinancing of such senior lien; provided that (i)
the resulting Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is no higher
than the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio prior to such refinancing and (ii) the
interest rate for the loan evidencing the refinanced senior lien on the date of
such refinancing is no higher than the interest rate on the loan evidencing the
existing senior lien immediately prior to the date of such refinancing.
(f) The Master Servicer shall deliver a list of Servicing Officers to
the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer by the Closing Date.
Section 5.02 [Reserved]
Section 5.03 COLLECTION OF CERTAIN MORTGAGE LOAN PAYMENTS;
COLLECTION ACCOUNT. (a) 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 any applicable primary mortgage insurance policy, follow such
collection procedures as shall constitute Accepted Servicing Practices.
Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i)
waive any prepayment charge, assumption fee, late payment charge or other charge
in connection with a Mortgage Loan, and (ii) arrange a schedule, running for no
more than 180 days after the Due Date for payment of any installment on any
Mortgage Note, for the liquidation of delinquent items. Any provision of this
agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Master Servicer shall not agree
to the modification or waiver of any provision of a Mortgage Loan at a time when
such Mortgage Loan is not in default or such default is not reasonably
foreseeable, if such modification or waiver would be treated as a taxable
exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, unless such exchange would not be
considered a "prohibited transaction" under the REMIC Provisions.
The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain in the name of the
Trustee the Collection Account, in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. The Collection Account shall be
established and maintained as an Eligible Account.
-43-
The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account (i) any
amounts representing Monthly Payments on the Mortgage Loans due or to be applied
as of a date after the Cut-off Date, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, (ii)
any amounts representing Monthly Payments on the Mortgage Loans due or to be
applied as of a date on or before the Cut-off Date (except for any interest
accrued prior to the Cut-off Date and except for any principal received by the
Depositor prior to the Cut-off Date the receipt of which is reflected on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule) and (iii) thereafter, on a daily basis within two
Business Days of receipt (except as otherwise permitted herein), the following
payments and collections received or made by it (other than any amounts in
respect of principal of or interest on the Mortgage Loans which, under clauses
(i) and (ii) above, are not required to be deposited in the Collection Account):
(i) all payments received after the Cut-off Date on account of
principal on the Mortgage Loans and all Principal Prepayments in Full,
Curtailments and all Net REO Proceeds collected after the Cut-off Date;
(ii) all payments received after the Cut-off Date on account of
interest on the Mortgage Loans (other than payments of interest that
accrued on each Mortgage Loan up to and including the Cut-off Date;
(iii) all Net Liquidation Proceeds;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds;
(v) all Released Mortgaged Property Proceeds;
(vi) any amounts payable in connection with the repurchase of any
Mortgage Loan and the amount of any Substitution Adjustment pursuant to
Sections 2.04 and 3.03; and
(vii) any amount expressly required to be deposited in the Collection
Account in accordance with certain provisions of this Agreement, including,
without limitation Sections 2.04(b), 2.04(c), 3.03(a), 3.03(c), 5.06, 5.07
and 5.18 of this Agreement;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall be entitled, at its election,
either (a) to withhold and to pay to itself the applicable Master Servicing Fee
from any payment on account of interest or other recovery (including Net REO
Proceeds) as received and prior to deposit of such payments in the Collection
Account or (b) to withdraw the applicable Master Servicing Fee from the
Collection Account after the entire payment or recovery has been deposited
therein; provided, further, that with respect to any payment of interest
received by the Master Servicer in respect of a Mortgage Loan (whether paid by
the Mortgagor or received as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or
otherwise) which is less than the full amount of interest then due with respect
to such Mortgage Loan, only that portion of such payment that bears the same
relationship to the total amount of such payment of interest as the rate used to
determine the Master Servicing Fee bears to the Mortgage Interest Rate borne by
such Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to the Master Servicing Fee with respect
to such Mortgage Loan. All other amounts shall be deposited in the Collection
Account not later than the second Business Day following the day of receipt and
posting by the Master Servicer.
-44-
The Master Servicer may invest the funds in the Collection Account
only in Permitted Investments. No Permitted Investment shall be sold or disposed
of at a gain prior to maturity unless the Master Servicer has obtained an
Opinion of Counsel (at the Master Servicer's expense) that such sale or
disposition will not cause the Trust Fund to be subject to the tax on income
from prohibited transactions imposed by Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code,
otherwise subject the Trust Fund to tax or cause the Trust Fund to fail to
qualify as a REMIC. All income (other than any gain from a sale or disposition
of the type referred to in the preceding sentence) realized from any such
Permitted Investment shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as
additional servicing compensation. The amount of any losses incurred in respect
of any such investments shall be deposited in the Collection Account by the
Master Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall
be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of those described in the
last paragraph of Section 5.14 and payments in the nature of prepayment charges,
late payment charges or assumption fees need not be deposited by the Master
Servicer in the Collection Account. If the Master Servicer deposits in the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at
any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding. All funds deposited by the Master Servicer in
the Collection Account shall be held in the Collection Account for the account
of the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance
with Section 6.01 or withdrawn in accordance with Section 5.04.
(b) Prior to the time of their required deposit in the Collection
Account, all amounts required to be deposited therein may be deposited in an
account in the name of Master Servicer, provided that such account is an
Eligible Account. All such funds shall be held by the Master Servicer in trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer pursuant
to the terms hereof.
(c) The Collection Account may, upon written notice by the Trustee to
the Certificate Insurer, be transferred to a different depository so long as
such transfer is to an Eligible Account.
Section 5.04 PERMITTED WITHDRAWALS FROM THE COLLECTION ACCOUNT. The
Master Servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection
Account for the following purposes:
(a) to reimburse itself for any accrued unpaid Master Servicing Fees
and for unreimbursed Periodic Advances and Servicing Advances. The Master
Servicer's right to reimbursement for unpaid Master Servicing Fees and
unreimbursed Servicing Advances shall be limited to late collections on the
related Mortgage Loan, including Liquidation Proceeds, Released Mortgaged
Property Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be
collected by the Master Servicer from the related Mortgagor or otherwise
relating to the Mortgage Loan in respect of which such unreimbursed amounts
are owed. The Master Servicer's right to reimbursement for unreimbursed
Periodic Advances shall be limited to late collections of interest on any
Mortgage Loan and to Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds on related
Mortgage Loans;
-45-
(b) to reimburse itself for any Periodic Advances or Servicing
Advances determined in good faith to have become Nonrecoverable Advances,
such reimbursement to be made from any funds in the Collection Account;
(c) to withdraw any amount received from a Mortgagor that is
recoverable and sought to be recovered as a voidable preference by a
trustee in bankruptcy pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code in
accordance with a final, nonappealable order of a court having competent
jurisdiction;
(d) to withdraw any funds deposited in the Collection Account that
were not required to be deposited therein;
(e) to pay itself Servicing Compensation pursuant to Section 5.14
hereof to the extent not retained or paid pursuant to Section 5.03, 5.04 or
5.14;
(f) to pay to the Depositor with respect to each Mortgage Loan or
property acquired in respect thereof that has been repurchased or replaced
pursuant to Section 2.04 or 3.03 or to pay to itself with respect to each
Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that has been
purchased pursuant to Section 8.01 all amounts received thereon and not
required to be distributed as of the date on which the related repurchase
or purchase price or Principal Balance, as the case may be, was determined;
(g) to pay to the Depositor with respect to each Mortgage Loan the
amount of interest accrued and unpaid on such Mortgage Loan on the Cut-off
Date;
(h) to make deposits to the Distribution Accounts (which shall include
the Trustee Fee) in the amounts and in the manner provided for herein;
(i) to pay itself any interest earned on or investment income earned
with respect to funds in the Collection Account;
(j) to reimburse itself or the Depositor pursuant to Section 11.01;
and
(k) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the termination
of this Agreement.
The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain a separate accounting for
each Mortgage Loan for the purpose of accounting for withdrawals from the
Collection Account pursuant to subclause (a).
Section 5.05 PAYMENT OF TAXES, INSURANCE AND OTHER CHARGES. With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall maintain accurate
records reflecting casualty insurance coverage.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer
maintains escrow accounts, the Master Servicer shall maintain accurate records
reflecting the status of ground rents, taxes, assessments, water rates and other
charges which are or may become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property and the
status of primary mortgage guaranty insurance premiums,
-46-
if any, and casualty insurance coverage and shall obtain, from time to time, all
bills for the payment of such charges (including renewal premiums) and shall
effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and
at a time appropriate for securing maximum discounts allowable, employing for
such purpose deposits of the Mortgagor in any escrow account which shall have
been estimated and accumulated by the Master Servicer in amounts sufficient for
such purposes, as allowed under the terms of the Mortgage. To the extent that a
Mortgage does not provide for escrow payments, the Master Servicer shall, if it
has received notice of a default or deficiency, monitor such payments to
determine if they are made by the Mortgagor.
Section 5.06 MAINTENANCE OF CASUALTY INSURANCE. The Master Servicer
shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan (at the expense of the
borrower or, if required by the terms of the Mortgage Loan and not paid for by
the borrower, at the expense of the Trust Fund) a casualty insurance policy with
extended coverage issued by a generally acceptable insurer in an amount which is
not less than the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property securing such
Mortgage Loan or the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, whichever
is less; provided, however, that such insurance may not be less than the minimum
amount required to fully compensate for any loss or damage on a replacement cost
basis. If, upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the improvements on the
Mortgaged Property were in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such
flood insurance has been made available) the Master Servicer will cause to be
maintained (at the expense of the borrower or, if required by the terms of the
Mortgage Loan and not paid for by the borrower, at the expense of the Trust
Fund) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable
insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of
(i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the full insurable
value and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which was available under the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The Master Servicer shall also
maintain similar fire insurance coverage and, if applicable, flood insurance on
property acquired upon foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any
Mortgage Loan in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the full
insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii)
the principal balance owing on such Mortgage Loan at the time of such
foreclosure or grant of deed in lieu of foreclosure; provided, however, that
such insurance may not be less than the minimum amount required to fully
compensate for any loss or damage on a replacement cost basis. It is understood
and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers approved by the Master
Servicer and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required
of any Mortgagor, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as
shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.
Pursuant to Section 5.03, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any
insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 5.06 (other than amounts
to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices) shall
be deposited into the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 5.04 unless such insurance was not required by the terms of the Mortgage
Loan. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance
shall be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of
the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such
cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the principal
amount of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage Loan, the Monthly
-47-
Payments on the Mortgage Note or the distributions to be made to the
Certificateholders. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 5.04. In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and
maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer that is acceptable to FNMA or
FHLMC, insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation as set forth in the
first sentence of this Section 5.06, 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
or acquired property an insurance policy complying with the first sentence of
this Section 5.06 and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered
by such a policy had it been maintained, be required to deposit from its own
funds into the Collection Account the amount not otherwise payable under the
blanket policy because of such deductible clause.
Section 5.07 MAINTENANCE OF MORTGAGE IMPAIRMENT INSURANCE POLICY.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy
(the "Mortgage Impairment Insurance Policy") with an insurer either (i) having a
General Policy rating of A:VIII or better in Best's Key Rating Guide or (ii)
approved in writing by the Certificate Insurer, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld, insuring against fire and hazards of extended coverage on
all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy names the Master
Servicer as loss payee and provides coverage in an amount equal to the aggregate
unpaid principal balance on the Mortgage Loans without co-insurance, and
otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 5.06, the Master Servicer
shall be deemed conclusively to have satisfied its obligations with respect to
fire and hazard insurance coverage under Section 5.06, it being understood and
agreed that such blanket 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 Section
5.06, and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such
policy, deposit in the Collection Account the difference, if any, between the
amount that would have been payable under a policy complying with Section 5.06
and the amount paid under such blanket policy. Upon the request of the
Certificate Insurer, the Trustee or any Certificateholder, the Master Servicer
shall cause to be delivered to the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee or such
Certificateholder, as the case may be, a certified true copy of such policy. The
Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee,
the Certificate Insurer and Certificateholders, claims under any such policy in
a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.
Section 5.08 FIDELITY BOND; ERRORS AND OMISSIONS POLICY. (a)The
Master Servicer shall maintain with a responsible company, and at its own
expense, a blanket fidelity bond (a "Fidelity Bond") and an errors and omissions
insurance policy (an "Errors and Omissions Policy"), in a minimum amount
acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC or, if _______ is the Master Servicer or if the
Trustee is the successor Master Servicer, in an amount generally maintained by
prudent mortgage loan servicers having servicing portfolios of a similar size.
(b) The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this
provision if one of its respective Affiliates has such a Fidelity Bond and
Errors and Omissions Policy and, by the terms of such fidelity bond and errors
and omission policy, the coverage afforded thereunder
-48-
extends to the Master Servicer. Any such Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions
Policy shall not be cancelled or modified in a materially adverse manner without
10 days prior written notice to the Certificate Insurer.
Section 5.09 COLLECTION OF TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND OTHER ITEMS;
SERVICING ACCOUNT. In addition to the Collection Account, the Master Servicer
shall establish and maintain a Servicing Account, which shall be an Eligible
Account, and shall deposit therein all payments by Mortgagors for taxes,
assessments, primary mortgage or hazard insurance premiums or comparable items.
Withdrawals from the Servicing Account may be made to effect payment of taxes,
assessments, primary mortgage or hazard insurance premiums or comparable items,
to reimburse the Master Servicer out of related collections for any advances
made in the nature of any of the foregoing, to refund to any Mortgagors any sums
determined to be overages, or to pay any interest owed to Mortgagors on such
account to the extent required by law or to clear and terminate the Servicing
Account at the termination of this Agreement upon the termination of the Trust
Fund. The Master Servicer shall advance the payments referred to in the first
sentence of this Section 5.09 that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the
date when the tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is
due, but the Master Servicer shall be required to so advance only to the extent
that such advances, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be
recoverable by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 5.04 out of Liquidation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or otherwise.
Section 5.10 PERIODIC FILINGS WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION; ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. The Trustee shall prepare or cause to be
prepared for filing with the Commission any and all reports, statements and
information respecting the Trust Fund and/or the Certificates required to be
filed, and shall solicit any and all proxies of the Certificateholders whenever
such proxies are required to be solicited, pursuant to the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. The Depositor shall promptly file, and exercise its
reasonable best efforts to obtain a favorable response to, no-action requests
with, or other appropriate exemptive relief from, the Commission seeking the
usual and customary exemption from such reporting requirements granted to
issuers of securities similar to the Certificates. Fees and expenses incurred by
the Trustee in connection with the foregoing shall be reimbursed pursuant to
Section 9.05 and shall not be paid by the Trust Fund.
The Master Servicer and the Depositor each agree to promptly furnish
to the Trustee, from time to time upon request, such further information,
reports and financial statements within their control related to this Agreement
and the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to prepare
and file all necessary reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Section 5.11 ENFORCEMENT OF DUE-ON-SALE CLAUSES; ASSUMPTION
AGREEMENTS. In any case in which a Mortgaged Property is about to be conveyed by
the Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and
whether or not the Mortgagor remains liable thereon) and the Master Servicer has
knowledge of such prospective conveyance, the Master Servicer shall effect
assumptions in accordance with the terms of any due-on-sale provision contained
in the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage. The Master Servicer shall enforce any
due-on-sale provision contained in such Mortgage Note or Mortgage to the extent
the requirements thereunder for an assumption of the Mortgage Loan
-49-
have not been satisfied to the extent permitted under the terms of the related
Mortgage Note, unless such provision is not exercisable under applicable law and
governmental regulations or in the Master Servicer's judgment, such exercise is
reasonably likely to result in legal action by the Mortgagor, or such conveyance
is in connection with a permitted assumption of the related Mortgage Loan.
Subject to the foregoing, the Master Servicer is authorized to take or enter
into an assumption agreement from or with the Person to whom such property is
about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the
related Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the
Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Master Servicer is also authorized, to
release the original Mortgagor from liability upon the Mortgage Loan and
substitute the new Mortgagor as obligor thereon. In connection with such
assumption or substitution, the Master Servicer shall apply such underwriting
standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual
for mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans and as it applies to mortgage
loans owned solely by it. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any
such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to
the Trustee the original copy of such assumption or substitution agreement,
which copy shall be added by the Trustee to the related Mortgage File and shall,
for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent
as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. In
connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement, the Mortgage
Interest Rate of the related Mortgage Note, the payment terms and other material
terms shall not be changed. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer for
entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be
retained by the Master Servicer as servicing compensation.
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 conveyance by
the Mortgagor of the property subject to the Mortgage or any assumption of a
Mortgage Loan by operation of law which the Master Servicer in good faith
determines it may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever, or if the exercise of such right would impair or threaten to impair
any recovery under any applicable insurance policy or, in the Master Servicer's
judgment, be reasonably likely to result in legal action by the Mortgagor.
Section 5.12 REALIZATION UPON DEFAULTED MORTGAGE LOANS. (a) Except
as provided in the last two paragraphs of this Section 5.12(a), the Master
Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of
properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in
default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection
of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 5.03. In connection with such
foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer shall follow Accepted
Servicing Practices. The foregoing is subject to the proviso that the Master
Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection with any
foreclosure or to restore any damaged property unless it shall determine that
(i) such foreclosure and/or restoration will increase the proceeds of
liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Certificateholders after reimbursement to
itself for such expenses and (ii) such expenses will be recoverable to it
through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for
purposes of withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.04) or
otherwise. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of the Master
Servicing Fee and other amounts due it, if any, to the extent, but only to the
extent,
-50-
that withdrawals from the Collection Account with respect thereto are permitted
under Section 5.04.
The Master Servicer may foreclose against the Mortgaged Property
securing a defaulted Mortgage Loan either by foreclosure, by sale or by strict
foreclosure, and in the event a deficiency judgment is available against the
Mortgagor or any other person, may proceed for the deficiency.
In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure (an "REO Property"), the deed or
certificate of sale shall be issued to the Master Servicer on behalf of the
Trustee in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. The
Master Servicer shall administer the REO Property so that it qualifies at all
times as "foreclosure property," within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the
Code, and shall not permit any income to be earned with respect thereto that is
"net income from foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(d) of
the Code or "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section
860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and
cancellation of the related Mortgage Loan, such Mortgage Loan shall be
considered to be a Mortgage Loan held in the Trust Fund until such time as the
related Mortgaged Property shall be sold and such Mortgage Loan becomes a
Liquidated Mortgage Loan. Consistent with the foregoing, for purposes of all
calculations hereunder, so long as such Mortgage Loan shall be considered to be
an Outstanding Mortgage Loan:
(i) It shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the indebtedness
evidenced by the related Mortgage Note shall have been discharged, such
Mortgage Note and the related amortization schedule in effect at the time
of any such acquisition of title (after giving effect to any previous
Curtailments and before any adjustment thereto by reason of any bankruptcy
or similar proceeding or any moratorium or similar waiver or grace period)
remain in effect, except that such schedule shall be adjusted to reflect
the application of Net REO Proceeds received in any month pursuant to the
succeeding clause.
(ii) Net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be deemed to have
been received first in payment of the accrued interest that remained unpaid
on the date that such Mortgage Loan became an REO Mortgage Loan, with the
excess thereof, if any, being deemed to have been received in respect of
the delinquent principal installments that remained unpaid on such date.
Thereafter, Net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be applied to the
payment of installments of principal and accrued interest on such Mortgage
Loan deemed to be due and payable in accordance with the terms of such
Mortgage Note and such amortization schedule. If such Net REO Proceeds
exceed the then Unpaid REO Amortization, the excess shall be treated as a
Curtailment received in respect of such Mortgage Loan.
(iii) Only that portion of Net REO Proceeds allocable to interest
that bears the same relationship to the total amount of Net REO Proceeds
allocable to interest as the rate of the Master Servicing Fee bears to the
Mortgage Interest Rate borne by such Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to
the Master Servicing Fee with respect thereto.
-51-
In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or reasonably foreseeable
default on a Mortgage Loan, such Mortgaged Property shall be disposed of by or
on behalf of the Trust Fund within three years after its acquisition by the
Trust Fund unless (a) the Master Servicer shall have provided to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that the
holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to three years
after its acquisition (and specifying the period beyond such three-year period
for which the Mortgaged Property may be held) will not cause the Trust Fund to
be subject to the tax on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 860F(a)(1)
of the Code, otherwise subject the Trust Fund to tax or cause the Trust Fund to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, or
(b) the Master Servicer (at the Trust Fund's expense) shall have applied for, at
least 60 days prior to the expiration of such three-year period, an extension of
such three-year period in the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the
Code, in which case the three-year period shall be extended by the applicable
period. The Master Servicer shall further ensure that the Mortgaged Property is
administered so that it constitutes "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at all times, that the sale of such property does
not result in the receipt by the Trust Fund of any income from non-permitted
assets as described in Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, and that the Trust
Fund does not derive any "net income from foreclosure property" within the
meaning of Section 860G(c)(2) of the Code with respect to such 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).
In lieu of foreclosing upon any defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer may, in its discretion, permit the assumption of such Mortgage Loan if,
in the Master Servicer's judgment, such default is unlikely to be cured and if
the assuming borrower satisfies the Master Servicer's underwriting guidelines
with respect to mortgage loans owned by the Master Servicer. In connection with
any such assumption, the Mortgage Interest Rate of the related Mortgage Note and
the payment terms shall not be changed. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer
for entering into an assumption agreement will be retained by the Master
Servicer as servicing compensation. Alternatively, the Master Servicer may
encourage the refinancing of any defaulted Mortgage Loan by the Mortgagor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to instituting foreclosure
proceedings or accepting a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to any
Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall make, or cause to be made,
inspection of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the Accepted Servicing
Practices and, with respect to environmental hazards, such procedures are as
required by the provisions of the FNMA's selling and servicing guide applicable
to single-family homes and in effect on the date hereof. The Master Servicer
shall be entitled to rely upon the results of any such inspection made by
others. In cases where the inspection reveals that such Mortgaged Property is
potentially contaminated with or affected by hazardous wastes or hazardous
substances, the Master Servicer shall promptly give written notice of such fact
to the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee and each Class A Certificateholder. The
Master Servicer shall not commence foreclosure proceedings or accept a deed-in-
lieu of foreclosure for Mortgaged Property with respect to this paragraph
without obtaining the written consent of the Certificate Insurer.
-52-
(b) Promptly after the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall, with
respect to each Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgage provides a second lien on
the related Mortgaged Property, cause to be recorded in the appropriate public
office for real property records, where permitted by applicable law and where
applicable law does not require that a second mortgagee be named as a party
defendant in foreclosure or comparable proceedings in order to foreclose or
otherwise preempt such mortgagee's equity of redemption, a request for notice of
any action by or on behalf of any mortgagee under a Senior Mortgage Loan. The
Master Servicer also shall promptly provide written notice to each mortgagee
under a Senior Mortgage Loan of the existence of the related Mortgage Loan and
request notification of any action taken or to be taken against the related
Mortgagor or Mortgaged Property by or on behalf of such mortgagee in respect of
such Senior Mortgage Loan.
(c) Upon becoming aware that a Senior Mortgage Loan has come into
default or of any action that the related mortgagee has taken or may take in
respect thereof, the Master Servicer shall, consistent with the REMIC
Provisions, take such actions as it shall deem necessary or advisable, as shall
be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as shall be
required or permitted by Accepted Servicing Practices. The Master Servicer,
however, shall not be required to expend its own funds in connection therewith
unless it shall determine that such expense will be recoverable to it. All such
expenses shall be included as Liquidation Expenses pursuant to the definition
thereof, and shall be reimbursable from the related Liquidation Proceeds in
accordance with Section 5.04.
Section 5.13 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 will be escrowed in a manner customary
for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee in
the form of a Request for Release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H
(which request shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received
in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.03 have been or shall be so deposited)
of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File.
Upon receipt of such Request for Release, the Trustee, or the Custodian on its
behalf, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer.
Upon any such payment in full, the Master Servicer is authorized to give, as
agent for the Trustee and the mortgagee under the Mortgage which secured the
Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without
recourse) regarding the property subject to such Mortgage, which instrument of
satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person
or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being
understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such
instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be
chargeable to the Collection Account. In connection therewith, the Trustee shall
execute and return to the Master Servicer any required power of attorney
provided to the Trustee by the Master Servicer and other required documentation
in accordance with Section 5.01(c). From time to time and as appropriate for the
servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices, the Trustee shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and
delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer,
release, or cause the Custodian to release, the related Mortgage File to the
Master Servicer and shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to the
prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the
Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee when the
-53-
need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan
shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing
Officer similar to the Request for Release hereinabove specified, the Mortgage
File shall be delivered by the to the Master Servicer.
Section 5.14 MASTER SERVICING FEE; MASTER SERVICING COMPENSATION. The
Master Servicer shall be entitled, at its election, either (a) to pay itself the
Master Servicing Fee out of any Mortgagor payment on account of interest or Net
REO Proceeds prior to the deposit of such payment in the Collection Account or
(b) to withdraw from the Collection Account such Master Servicing Fee pursuant
to Section 5.04. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled, at its election,
either (a) to pay itself the Master Servicing Fee in respect of each delinquent
Mortgage Loan out of Liquidation Proceeds in respect of such Mortgage Loan or
other recoveries with respect thereto to the extent permitted in Section 5.03(a)
to withdraw from the Collection Account the Master Servicing Fee in respect of
each such Mortgage Loan to the extent of such Liquidation Proceeds or other
recoveries, to the extent permitted by Section 5.04(a).
Master Servicing compensation in the form of Net Foreclosure Profits,
prepayment penalties, assumption fees, late payment charges, tax service fees,
fees for statement of account or payoff of the Mortgage Loan (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) or otherwise shall be retained by the Master
Servicer and are not required to be deposited in the Collection Account. The
aggregate Master Servicing Fee is reserved for the administration of the Trust
Fund and, in the event of replacement of the Master Servicer as master servicer
of the Mortgage Loans, for the payment of other expenses related to such
replacement. The aggregate Master Servicing Fee shall be offset as provided in
Section 5.20. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred
by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including
maintenance of the hazard insurance required by Section 5.05) and shall not be
entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.
Section 5.15 REPORTS TO THE TRUSTEE AND THE DEPOSITOR; COLLECTION ACCOUNT
STATEMENTS. Not later than 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer shall provide to the Trustee and the Depositor a statement, certified
by a Servicing Officer, setting forth the status of the Collection Account as of
the close of business on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar
month, stating that all distributions required by this Agreement to be made by
the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee have been made (or if any required
distribution has not been made by the Master Servicer, specifying the nature and
status thereof) and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the
aggregate of deposits into and withdrawals from the Collection Account for each
category of deposit specified in Section 5.03 and each category of withdrawal
specified in Section 5.04 and the aggregate of deposits into the Certificate
Accounts as specified in Section 6.01(c). Such statement shall also state the
aggregate unpaid principal balance of all the Mortgage Loans as of the close of
business on the last day of the month preceding the month in which such

Section 5.16 ANNUAL STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE. The Master Servicer will
deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the Rating Agencies on or
before
-54-
________ each year, beginning with _____, 199_, an Officers' Certificate stating
as to each signer 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 officer's supervision, and (ii) to the best
of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has
fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or if
there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying
each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Such
Officers' Certificate shall be accompanied by the statement described in Section
5.17 of this Agreement. Copies of such statement shall, upon request, be
provided to any Certificateholder by the Master Servicer, or by the Trustee at
the Master Servicer's expense if the Master Servicer shall fail to provide such
copies.
Section 5.17 ANNUAL INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS' SERVICING REPORT. On
or before _________ of every year, beginning with _______, 199_, the Master
Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a firm of nationally recognized
independent public accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer and the Rating Agencies to the effect that, on the basis of
an examination of certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the
mortgage loans being serviced by the Master Servicer under pooling and servicing
agreements similar to this Agreement, conducted substantially in compliance with
the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such firm is of the
opinion that such servicing has been conducted in compliance with this
Agreement. Copies of such statement shall, upon request, be provided to
Certificateholders by the Master Servicer, or by the Trustee at the Master
Servicer's expense if the Master Servicer shall fail to provide such copies. For
purposes of such statement, such firm may conclusively presume that any pooling

by the Depositor (or any predecessor or successor thereto) in a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is similar to this
Agreement, unless such other pooling and servicing agreement expressly states
otherwise.
Section 5.18 OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF DEFAULTED MORTGAGE LOANS. The
Depositor, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to elect (by written
notice sent to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer), but shall not be
obligated, to purchase for its own account from the Trust Fund (i) any defaulted
Mortgage Loan or any Mortgage Loan as to which default is reasonably foreseeable
and (ii) any Mortgage Loan as to which the Originator has breached a
representation or warranty to JVMC regarding the characteristics of such
Mortgage Loan. Any such purchase shall be in the manner and at the price
specified in Section 2.04(b); provided, however, that the aggregate Principal
Balances of the Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-Off Date repurchased pursuant to
this provision shall not exceed [____]% of the Pool Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. The purchase price for any Mortgage Loan
purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account and the
Trustee, upon receipt of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to
the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the purchaser
of such Mortgage Loan, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to
vest in the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto and the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the
Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and all
security and documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment
outright and not for security. The purchaser of such
-55-
Mortgage Loan shall thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all security and
documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the
Certificateholders with respect thereto.
Section 5.19 REPORTS TO BE PROVIDED BY THE MASTER SERVICER. The Master
Servicer agrees to make available on a reasonable basis to the Certificate

PREPAID MORTGAGE LOANS. The aggregate amount of the Master Servicing Fees that
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive with respect to all of the
Mortgage Loans and each Distribution Date shall be offset on such Distribution
Date by an amount equal to the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall with
respect to all Mortgage Loans which were subjects of Principal Prepayments in
Full or Curtailments during the month preceding the month of such Distribution
Date. The amount of any offset against the aggregate Master Servicing Fee with
respect to any Distribution Date under this Section 5.20 shall be limited to the
aggregate amount of the Master Servicing Fees otherwise payable to the Master
Servicer (without adjustment on account of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls) with
respect to (i) scheduled payments having the Due Date occurring in the month of
such Distribution Date received by the Master Servicer prior to the Remittance
Date, and (ii) Principal Prepayments in Full, Curtailments and Liquidation
Proceeds received in the month preceding the month in which such Distribution
Date occurs, and the rights of the Certificateholders to the offset of the
aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls shall not be cumulative.
Section 5.21 PERIODIC ADVANCES. If, on any Remittance Date, the Master
Servicer determines that any Monthly Payments due on the Due Date immediately
preceding such Remittance Date have not been received as of the close of
business on the Business Day preceding such Remittance Date, the Master Servicer
shall determine the amount of any Periodic Advance required to be made with
respect to the related Distribution Date. The Master Servicer shall, on the
Remittance Date, deliver in a computer-readable form (including electronic
transmission) to the Trustee indicating the payment status of each Mortgage Loan
as of the Business Day prior to such Remittance Date. The Master Servicer shall
include in the amount to be deposited in the related Certificate Account on such
Remittance Date an amount equal to the Periodic Advance, if any, which deposit
may be made in whole or in part from funds in the Collection Account being held
for future distribution or withdrawal on or in connection with Distribution
Dates in subsequent months. Any funds being held for future distribution to
Certificateholders and so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer from its
own funds by deposit in the related Certificate Account on or before the
Business Day preceding any such future Remittance Date to the extent that funds
in the related Certificate Account on such Remittance Date shall be less than
payments to Certificateholders required to be made on such date.
-56-
The Master Servicer shall designate on its records the specific Mortgage
Loans and related installments (or portions thereof) as to which such Periodic
Advance shall be deemed to have been made, such determination being conclusive
for purposes of withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to Section
5.04.
Section 5.22 THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. The Trustee shall reimburse the
Depositor from amounts otherwise distributable on the Class R Certificates for
all amounts advanced by the Depositor pursuant to the second sentence of Section
4.03(a)(ii) of the Purchase Agreement except when the relevant claim relates
directly to the failure of the Depositor to perform its duties in compliance
with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
Section 5.23 MAINTENANCE OF CORPORATE EXISTENCE AND LICENSES; MERGER OR
CONSOLIDATION OF THE MASTER SERVICER. (a) The Master Servicer will keep in
full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation, will obtain
and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each
jurisdiction necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this
Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its duties under this
Agreement and will otherwise operate its business so as to cause the
representations and warranties under Section 3.01 to be true and correct at all
times under this Agreement.
(b) Any Person into which the Master Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer, shall be an established
mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to the Certificate Insurer that
has a net worth of at least $15,000,000, and in all events shall be the
successor of the Master Servicer 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. The Master Servicer shall send notice of any such
merger or consolidation to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer.
Section 5.24 ASSIGNMENT OF AGREEMENT BY MASTER SERVICER; MASTER SERVICER
NOT TO RESIGN. The Master Servicer shall not assign this Agreement or resign
from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of
the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee or upon the determination that the
Master Servicer's duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable
law and that such incapacity cannot be cured by the Master Servicer without
incurring, in the reasonable judgment of the Certificate Insurer, unreasonable
expense. Any such determination that the Master Servicer's duties hereunder are
no longer permissible under applicable law permitting the resignation of the
Master Servicer shall be evidenced by a written Opinion of Counsel (who may be
counsel for the Master Servicer) to such effect delivered to the Trustee, the
Depositor and the Certificate Insurer. No such resignation shall become
effective until the Trustee or a successor appointed in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement has assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities and
obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 7.02. The Master Servicer shall
provide the Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the Certificate Insurer with 30
days prior written notice of its intention to resign pursuant to this Section
5.24.

tax or cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC. All income (other
than any gain from a sale or disposition of the type referred to in the

benefit of the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation. The amount
of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be deposited in

herein as the "Certificate Insurance Payments Account" over which the Trustee
shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal. The Trustee shall
deposit upon receipt any amount paid under the Certificate Insurance Policy in
the Certificate Insurance Payments Account and distribute such amount only for
purposes of payment to Certificateholders of the Insured Distribution Amount for
which a claim was made and such amount may not be applied to satisfy any costs,

or in part as a preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Trustee
shall so notify the Certificate Insurer, shall comply with the provisions of the
Certificate Insurance Policy to obtain payment by the Certificate Insurer of
such voided Insured Payment, and shall, at the time it provides notice to the
Certificate Insurer, notify, by mail to Certificateholders of the affected
Certificates that, in the event any Certificateholder's Insured Payment is so
recovered, such Certificateholder will be entitled to payment pursuant to the
Certificate Insurance Policy, a copy of which shall be made available through
the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer or the Certificate Insurer's fiscal agent,
if any, and the Trustee shall furnish to the Certificate Insurer or its fiscal
agent, if any, its records evidencing the payments which have been made by the
Trustee and subsequently recovered from Certificateholders, and dates on which
such payments were made.

proceeding or the institution of any action, of which a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee has actual knowledge, seeking the avoidance as a preferential
transfer under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law (a

Certificate Insurer or the Majority Certificateholders and with the prior
written consent of the Certificate Insurer, by notice in writing to the Master
Servicer and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, and in addition to whatever
rights such Certificateholders may have at law or equity to damages, including
injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the

or its designee approved by the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee is hereby

Servicer, any and all documents and other instruments and do or cause to be done
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, including, but not limited to, the transfer and
endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents. 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 designee for administration by it of all amounts
which shall at the time be credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection
Account or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee
shall promptly notify the Certificate Insurer and the Rating Agencies of the
occurrence of an Event of Default.
Section 7.02 TRUSTEE TO ACT; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR. (a) On and
after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to
Section 7.01, or the Trustee receives the resignation of the Master Servicer
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 5.24, or the Master
Servicer is removed as Master Servicer pursuant to Article VII, in which event
the Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies, except as otherwise
provided in Section 7.01, the Trustee 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 to all
the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the
Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof arising on or after the date
of succession; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be liable for any
actions or the representations and warranties of any master servicer prior to it
and including, without limitation, the obligations of the Master Servicer set
forth in Sections 2.04 and 3.03. The Trustee, as successor master servicer, or
any other successor master servicer shall be obligated to pay Compensating
Interest pursuant to Section 6.09 in any event and to make advances pursuant to
Section 5.21 unless, and only to the extent the Trustee as successor master
servicer determines reasonably and in good faith that such advances would not be
recoverable pursuant to Sections 5.04(b), 5.04(g) or 5.04(j), such determination
to be evidenced by a certification of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, as
successor master servicer delivered to the Certificate Insurer.
-69-
(b) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be
unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if the Majority
Certificateholders with the consent of the Certificate Insurer or the
Certificate Insurer so requests in writing to the Trustee, appoint, pursuant to
the provisions set forth in paragraph (c) below, or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing
institution acceptable to the Certificate Insurer that has a net worth of not
less than $15,000,000 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.
(c) In the event the Trustee is the successor master servicer, it
shall be entitled to Master Servicing Compensation (including the Master
Servicing Fee as adjusted pursuant to the definition thereof) and other funds
pursuant to Section 5.14 hereof as the Master Servicer. In the event the Trustee
is unable or unwilling to act as successor master servicer, the Trustee shall
solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing and home finance
institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the
qualifications set forth above. Such public announcement shall specify that the
successor master servicer shall be entitled to the full amount of the aggregate
Master Servicing Fees hereunder as servicing compensation, together with the
other Master Servicing Compensation. Within thirty days after any such public
announcement, the Trustee shall negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and
assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder to the
qualified party submitting the highest qualifying bid. The Trustee shall deduct
from any sum received by the Trustee from the successor to the Master Servicer
in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any
public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing
rights and responsibilities hereunder and the amount of any unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and Periodic Advances owed to the Trustee. After such
deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Trustee to the Master
Servicer at the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to the Master
Servicer's successor.
(d) The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and any successor
master servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's servicing
responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide the Trustee or
such successor master servicer, as applicable, at the Master Servicer's cost and
expense, all documents and records reasonably requested by it to enable it to
assume the Master Servicer's functions hereunder and shall promptly also
transfer to the Trustee or such successor master servicer, as applicable, all
amounts that then have been or should have been deposited in the Collection
Account by the Master Servicer or that are thereafter received with respect to
the Mortgage Loans. Any collections received by the Master Servicer after such
removal or resignation shall be endorsed by it to the Trustee and remitted
directly to the Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, to the successor
master servicer. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer
shall be held liable by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making,
any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of
the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or
records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over the Master Servicer hereunder. No appointment of a successor
to the Master Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer shall have consented in writing thereto, and written notice
of such proposed appointment shall have been provided by the Trustee to the
Certificate Insurer and to
-70-
each Certificateholder. The Trustee shall not resign as master servicer until a
successor master servicer reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Insurer has
been appointed.
(e) 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 pursuant
to Section 5.14, together with other Master Servicing Compensation. The Master
Servicer, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with
this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
Section 7.03 WAIVER OF DEFAULTS. The Majority Certificateholders
may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, and subject to the consent of the
Certificate Insurer, waive any events permitting removal of the Master Servicer
as master servicer pursuant to this Article VII; provided, however, that the
Majority Certificateholders may not waive a default in making a required
distribution on a Certificate without the consent of the holder of such
Certificate. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the
extent expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the
Trustee to the Rating Agencies.
Section 7.04 MORTGAGE LOANS, TRUST FUND AND ACCOUNTS HELD FOR
BENEFIT OF THE CERTIFICATE INSURER. (a) The Trustee shall hold the Trust Fund
and the Mortgage Files for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer and all references in this Agreement and in the Certificates
to the benefit of Holders of the Certificates shall be deemed to include the
Certificate Insurer. The Trustee shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with
any reasonable request by the Certificate Insurer for action to preserve or
enforce the Certificate Insurer's rights or interests under this Agreement and
the Certificates unless, as stated in an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the
Trustee and the Certificate Insurer, such action is adverse to the interests of
the Certificateholders or diminishes the rights of the Certificateholders or
imposes additional burdens or restrictions on the Certificateholders.
(b) The Master Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall
service the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Certificateholders and for the
benefit of the Certificate Insurer, and all references in this Agreement to the
benefit of or actions on behalf of the Certificateholders shall be deemed to
include the Certificate Insurer.

remittance of all funds due hereunder and the payment of all amounts due and
payable to the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee or (ii) mutual consent of the
Master Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and all Certificateholders in writing;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust Fund established by this

States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, alive as of the date hereof.
(b) In addition, subject to Section 8.02, the Master Servicer may, at
its option and at its sole cost and expense, terminate this Agreement on any
date on which the related Pool Principal Balance is less than 10% of the sum of
(x) the aggregate of the Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans on the Cut-off
Date plus (y) the aggregate of the Principal Balances of the Subsequent Mortgage
Loans on their respective Subsequent Cut-off Dates, by purchasing, on the next
succeeding Distribution Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties at a price (the "Termination Price") equal to the sum of (i) 100% of
the Principal Balance of each such outstanding Mortgage Loan and each REO
Property, (ii) the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest on such
Mortgage Loans through the related due period and 30 days' interest on such

for the amount of any unpaid Master Servicing Fees, unreimbursed Periodic
Advances and unreimbursed Servicing Advances made by the Master Servicer with
respect to the related Mortgage Loans. No such termination is permitted without
the prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer (i) if it would result in a
draw on the Certificate Insurance Policy or (ii) unless the Master Servicer
shall have delivered to the Certificate Insurer an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Certificate Insurer stating that no amounts paid hereunder
are subject to recapture as preferential transfers under the United States
Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. xx.xx. 101 et seq., as amended.
(c) If on any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer determines that
there are no outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the
Trust Fund other than funds in the related Distribution Account, the Master
Servicer shall send a final distribution notice promptly to the related
Certificateholders in accordance with paragraph (d) below.

Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable,
payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at
the office of the Trustee therein specified. The Master Servicer shall give such

notice to the Trustee at the time such notice is given to the
Certificateholders. The obligations of the Certificate Insurer hereunder shall
terminate upon the deposit by the Master Servicer with the Trustee of a sum
sufficient to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties in the Trust
Fund as set forth above and when the aggregate Security Balance of the
Certificates has been reduced to zero.
(e) In the event that all Certificateholders do not surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within six months after the time specified in the
above-mentioned written notice, the Master Servicer shall give a second written
notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
six months after the second notice, all of the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may
appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain subject
hereto. If within nine months after the second notice all the Certificates shall
not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholders shall
be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto
and the Trustee upon transfer of such funds shall be discharged of any
responsibility for such funds and the Certificateholders shall look only to such
Class R Certificateholders for payment. Such funds shall remain uninvested.

that the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option with respect to the Trust
Fund as provided in Section 8.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in
accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has
been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the
Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 8.02 will not (i)
result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust Fund
as defined in Section 860F of the Code or (ii) cause the Trust Fund to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Class A 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

Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates all
cash on hand in the Trust Fund (other than cash retained to meet claims),
and the REMIC shall terminate at that time.
(b) By their acceptance of the Class R Certificates, the Holders
thereof hereby agree to authorize the Trustee to specify the 90-day liquidation
period for the Trust Fund, which authorization shall be binding upon all
successor Class R Certificateholders.

(d) execute and deliver such instruments and perform all acts
reasonably requested in order to effect the orderly and efficient transfer
of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to its successor and to more fully and
definitively vest in such successor all rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the "Master Servicer"
under this Agreement.

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 its exercise
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of such person's 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 on their face to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however,
that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any
resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other

a material manner, the Trustee shall take action as it deems appropriate to have
the instrument corrected and will provide notice thereof to 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 willful 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 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;
-75-

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;

any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of the Certificate Insurer 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 9.02 CERTAIN MATTERS AFFECTING THE TRUSTEE. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 9.01:
(a) The Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers'
Certificate, Opinion of Counsel, certificate of auditors or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties;
(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;

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 or the Certificate Insurer,
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such
Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer, as the case may be, shall
have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the
obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been
cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as
a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of such person's own affairs;

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

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 by at least a 25% Percentage Interest of any Class of Class A
Certificates; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities
-76-
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 such
Certificateholders, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against
such expense, or liability from such Certificateholders as a condition to
taking any such action;
(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;
(g) The right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act
enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the
Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful
misconduct in the performance of such act; and
(h) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in
respect of the execution of the Trust created hereby or the powers granted
hereunder.

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

covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive, reasonable compensation (which shall not be
limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an
express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts
hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and
duties hereunder of the Trustee and the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse
the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred or made by it in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ)
except any such expense, disbursement, or advance as may arise from its
negligence or bad faith.
The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee and
any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee against any losses,
liabilities, damages, claims
-77-
or expenses (including reasonable legal fees and such related expenses) that may
be sustained by the Trustee in connection with this Agreement related to the
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the Master
Servicer's duties hereunder.
Section 9.06 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 the
Rating Agencies rating the Certificates. If such corporation publishes reports
of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section 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 9.07.
The corporation or national banking association serving as Trustee may have
normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor 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 9.07 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 Certificate Insurer, the Master Servicer
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 written consent of the
Certificate Insurer, promptly appoint a successor trustee who meets the
eligibility requirements of Section 9.06 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 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 the 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 9.06 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Master Servicer or the Certificate Insurer, 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 the Rating Agencies in respect of mortgage pass-through
certificates having a rating equal to the then current rating on the
Certificates, then the Master Servicer, with the written consent of the
Certificate Insurer, may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee who
meets the eligibility requirements of
-78-
Section 9.06 by written 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 Depositor by the Master Servicer.
The Majority Certificateholders, with the written consent of the
Certificate Insurer, 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 9.08.
Section 9.08 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. Any successor trustee appointed as
provided in Section 9.07 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 of the 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 9.06.
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 all Holders of Certificates at
their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register provided that the Master
Servicer has received such 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.
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 written
consent of the Certificate Insurer.
Section 9.09 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
-79-
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 9.06, 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 9.10 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
9.10, 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 9.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of
Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be
required under Section 9.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 9.10 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.
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 IX. 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,
-80-
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.

ARTICLE X
REMIC PROVISIONS
Section 10.01 REMIC ADMINISTRATION. (a) The Trustee shall make an
--------------------
election to treat the Trust Fund 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. For purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the
Trust Fund, (i) the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates shall be
designated as the "regular interests" and the Class R Certificates shall be
designated as the sole Class of "residual interest" in the REMIC. The Trustee
shall not permit the creation of any "interests" in the Trust Fund (within the
meaning of Section 860G of the Code) other than the REMIC regular interests and
the interests represented by the Certificates.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the Startup Day of the
Trust Fund 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 the Trust Fund
(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, as agent for the tax matters person, shall (i)
act on behalf of the Trust Fund in relation to any tax matter or controversy
involving the Trust Fund and (ii) represent the Trust Fund in any administrative
or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental
taxing authority with respect thereto. The Holder of the largest Percentage
Interest in the Class R Certificates from time to time is hereby designated as
Tax Matters Person with respect to the Trust Fund and hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Trustee to act its agent to perform the duties of
the Tax Matters Person with respect to the Trust Fund. To the extent authorized
under the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, each Holder of a
Class R 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 the Trust Fund.
(d) The Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared, sign and file
all of the Tax Returns in respect of the Trust Fund created hereunder, other
than Tax Returns required to be filed by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
5.25. 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 the Trust Fund all
reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of the
Trust Fund 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
-82-
Certificate and to the Internal Revenue Service such information as is necessary
for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate
to any Person who is not a Disqualified Organization, (ii) to 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 and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title,
address and telephone number of the person who will serve as the representative
of the Trust Fund. 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 the Trust Fund
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 the Trust Fund 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 the Trust Fund as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax
upon the Trust Fund (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 the Trust Fund created
hereunder, endanger such status or result in the imposition of 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 the Trust Fund or its assets, or causing the Trust Fund 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 the Trust Fund, and the Master Servicer shall not take any such
action or cause the Trust Fund 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 the Trust Fund 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
-83-
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 V or this Article X, or
otherwise (iii) against amounts on deposit in the related Certificate Account
and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.
(h) On or before April 15 of each calendar year, commencing April 15,
1997, 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) 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 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 the Trust Fund 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 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of
the Treasury Regulations, the "latest possible maturity date" of the Class A
Certificates is ___________ 25, 20__.
(m) Upon filing with the Internal Revenue Service, the Trustee shall
furnish to the Holders of the Class R Certificates the Form 1066 and each Form
1066Q.
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 VIII 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 Distribution Accounts 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
-84-
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 of the Trustee's covenants set forth in
this Article X.
(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 V 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 pursuant to Section 5.25 that contain errors or omissions.

ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 11.01 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER
SERVICER. 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 Certificate Insurer, 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 or the Depositor pursuant to
any other Section hereof; and provided further that this provision shall not
protect the 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 this Agreement, or any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance
of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder. 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 the event the Depositor or the Master Servicer
take any action as described in the preceding sentence, the legal expenses and
costs of such action, if previously approved in writing by the Certificate
Insurer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and any liability
resulting therefrom will be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund,
and the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, will be entitled
to be reimbursed therefor out of funds in the Collection Account.
Section 11.02 ACTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS. (a) Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, whenever Certificateholder action, consent or
approval is required under this Agreement, such action, consent or approval
shall be deemed to have been taken or given on behalf of, and shall be binding
upon, all Certificateholders if the Majority
-86-
Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer agrees to take such action or give
such consent or approval.
(b) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate
to terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heir to claim an accounting or to
take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the
Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto or any of them.
(c) No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation
and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor
shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates,
be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under
any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties
to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
Section 11.03 AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended from time to
time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee without the consent
of any of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to
correct, modify or supplement any provisions herein which may be inconsistent
with any other provisions herein, (iii) to obtain, maintain or improve the
rating of any Class of Certificates; provided, however, that after obtaining the
initial ratings set forth herein none of the Depositor, Master Servicer or
Trustee is obligated to obtain, maintain or improve the rating of any Class,
(iv) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising
under this Agreement which are not materially inconsistent with the provisions
hereof amend this Agreement in any respect subject to the provisions below or
(v) if such amendment, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the
Person requesting such amendment) delivered to the Trustee, is reasonably
necessary to comply with any requirements imposed by the Code or any successor
or amendatory statute or any temporary or final regulation, revenue ruling,
revenue procedure or other written official announcement or interpretation
relating to federal income tax laws or any proposed such action which, if made
effective, would apply retroactively to the Trust Fund at least from the
effective date of such amendment; provided that in the case of clause (iv) such
action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder (other than Certificateholders who shall consent to such
amendment) or the Certificate Insurer, as evidenced either by an Opinion of
Counsel (provided by the Person requesting such amendment) or written
notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that such amendment will not
cause such Rating Agency to lower or withdraw the then current ratings on the
Certificates, delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Certificate Insurer
and the Majority Certificateholders of each Class affected by such amendment for
the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights
of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate
-87-
without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate or (ii) reduce the
aforesaid percentage of Certificates the Holders of which are required to
consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Certificate Insurer
and the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of
consents pursuant to this Section 11.03, Certificates registered in the name of
the Depositor or the Master Servicer or any affiliate thereof shall be entitled
to voting rights with respect to matters described in (i), (ii) and (iii) of
this paragraph.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first
received an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the Person requesting such
amendment) to the effect that such amendment will not result in the imposition
of any tax on the Trust Fund pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause the Trust
Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any of the Certificates are
outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall
furnish a statement describing the amendment to each Certificateholder, the
Certificate Insurer, and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section 11.03 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to enter into any
amendment pursuant to this Section that affects its rights, duties and
immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section 11.04 RECORDATION OF AGREEMENT. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, this Agreement, or a memorandum thereof if permitted under
applicable law, is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for

Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate in certain distributions with
respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to

"Master Servicer"), and _________________, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary
of 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.
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund
and the Certificate Insurance Policy (as defined below) and does not represent
an obligation of or interest in the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee
referred to below or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the

of their affiliates. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, or any of their
affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other
obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
____________________ (the "Certificate Insurer") has issued a
certificate insurance policy (the "Certificate Insurance Policy") with respect
to the Class A Certificates, a copy of which is attached to the Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing as
described in the Agreement, 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 Date (the "Record Date"),

the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount of interest
and principal, if any, required to be distributed to holders of Class A
Certificates on such Distribution Date.
All distributions on this Certificate will be made or caused to be
made by the Trustee in immediately available funds either (i) by check mailed to
the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall
appear on the Certificate Register or (ii) by wire transfer to the account of
any Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee
and such Certificateholder is the registered holder of Class A Certificates the
aggregate Certificate Balance of which is not less than $5,000,000.

Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon
presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed
by the Trustee for that purpose. The initial Certificate Balance of this
Certificate is set forth above. The Certificate Balance hereof will be reduced
by this Certificate's Percentage Interest of distributions of the Class A
Formula Principal Distribution Amount.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
issued in __________ Classes designated as Residential Mortgage-Backed
Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the
"Certificates").
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. In the event that Master
Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is
reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement,
from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have
been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account
and/or the Distribution Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders
may be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes other than
distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation
reimbursement to the Depositor and the Master Servicer of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment of the Agreement 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 Certificate Insurer and the
Majority Certificateholders. 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 herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in
certain circumstances without the consent of the holders of any of the
Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances, without the consent of
the holders of certain Classes of 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 offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee in the City and
State of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such
holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates in
Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the
same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the holder
surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar 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.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the
Certificates and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the payment
to 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 maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto
or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer
from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans, thereby effecting early
retirement of the Class A Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not
require, the Master Servicer to purchase at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans; provided, that any such option may
only be exercised if the Pool Principal Balance as of the Distribution Date upon
which the proceeds of any such purchase are distributed is less than 10% of the
Original Pool Principal Balance.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

evidencing a percentage interest in any distributions allocable to the
Class R Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool
of conventional one- to
four-family fixed rate first lien and second lien residential mortgage loans
sold by JV Capital Trust.
This certifies that ____________________________ is the registered
owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate in certain
distributions with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of
conventional one- to four-family fixed rate first lien and second lien
residential mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), sold by JV Capital Trust (the
"Depositor"). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement dated as specified above (the "Agreement") among the Depositor,
___________________________, as master servicer (the "Master Servicer") and
_____________________________, as trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of 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.
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund
and does not represent an obligation of or interest in the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates. Neither this
Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any
governmental agency or instrumentality or by the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee or any of their affiliates. None of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, or any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to
any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable from payments on the
Certificates.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the 25th day of each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing as
described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered at the close of business on the last Business Day immediately
preceding the month of such Distribution Date (the "Record Date"), from the
Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest
and principal, if any) required to be distributed to Holders of Class [R]
Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be
bound by the restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each
person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a
United States Person and a Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any
Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be conditioned upon the delivery to
the Trustee of, among other things, an affidavit to the effect that it is a
United States Person and Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported
transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such
restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the
purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a United States Person
and a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate
in violation of such restrictions, then the Depositor will have the right, in
its sole discretion and without notice to the Holder of this Certificate, to
sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor, which purchaser
may be the Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor, on such terms and
conditions as the Depositor may choose.
-3-
No transfer of any Class R 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
without such registration or qualification, (a) the Trustee and the Depositor
shall require the transferee to execute an investment letter, which investment
letter shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the
Trustee and (b) in the event that such a transfer is not made pursuant to Rule
144A under the Act, the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory
to the Trustee and the Depositor 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]
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.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon
presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed
by the Trustee for that purpose. The Percentage Interest this Certificate is set
forth above. Notwithstanding the fact this Certificate has no Certificate
Principal Balance, this Certificate will remain outstanding under the Agreement
and the Holder hereof may have additional obligations with respect to this
Certificate, including tax liabilities, and may be entitled to certain
additional distributions hereon, in accordance with the terms and provisions of
the Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
issued in ____ Classes designated as Residential Mortgage-Backed Certificates of
the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the "Certificates").
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. In the event that Master
Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is
reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement,
from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have
been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account
and/or the Certificate Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may
be made by the Master Servicer from time to time for purposes other than
distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including without limitation
reimbursement to the Depositor and the Master Servicer of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment of the Agreement 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
-4-
by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the
Certificate Insurer and the Majority Certificateholders. 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 herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of
the Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional circumstances,
without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of 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 offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee in the City and
State of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such
Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided
in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations
evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar 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.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the
Certificates and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the payment
to 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 maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto
or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer
from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans, thereby effecting early
retirement of the Class R Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not
require, such Class R Certificateholder, the Master Servicer or the Certificate
Insurer, as applicable, to purchase at a price determined as provided in the
-5-
Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans; provided, that any such option may only
be exercised if the Pool Principal Balance as of the Distribution Date upon
which the proceeds of any such purchase are distributed is less than 10% of the
Original Pool Principal Balance.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

State of ___________ )
) ss.:
County of __________ )
[NAME OF OFFICER], being first duly sworn, deposes and says:
1. That he is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Owner] (record or
beneficial owner of the Residential Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series 199__-
__, Class R (the "Owner")), a [savings institution] [corporation] duly organized
and existing under the laws of [the State of __________________] [the United
States], on behalf of which he makes this affidavit and agreement.
2. That the Owner (i) is not and will not be a "disqualified
organization" as of [date of transfer] within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), (ii) will
endeavor to remain other than a disqualified organization for so long as it
retains its ownership interest in the Class R Certificates, and (iii) is
acquiring the Class R Certificates for its own account or for the account of
another Owner from which it has received an affidavit and agreement in
substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. (For this purpose,
a "disqualified organization" means the United States, any state or political
subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing
(other than an instrumentality all of the activities of which are subject to tax
and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose
board of directors is not selected by any such governmental entity) or any
foreign government, international organization or any agency or instrumentality
of such foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone
cooperative, or any organization (other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that
is generally exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject
to the tax on unrelated business taxable income).
3. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
transfers of Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Code,
that applies to all transfers of Class R Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii)
that such tax would be on the transferor, or, if such transfer is through an
agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a disqualified
organization, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax
shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such
person an affidavit that the transferee is not a disqualified organization and,
at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the
affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Class [R] Certificates may be "noneconomic
residual interests" within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual
interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
4. That the Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the
transfer of any Class R Certificates unless the transferee, or the transferee's
agent, delivers to it an affidavit and
agreement, among other things, in substantially the same form as this affidavit
and agreement. The Owner expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such
transfer if it knows or believes that any of the representations contained in
such affidavit and agreement are false.
5. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face
of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 4.02(i) of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued (in
particular, clause (g) and (h) of Section 4.02(i) which authorize the Trustee to
deliver payments to a person other than the Owner in the event the Owner holds
such Certificates in violation of Section 4.02(i)). The Owner expressly agrees
to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.
6. That the Owner consents to any additional restrictions or
arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be
owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is not a disqualified
organization.
7. The Owner's Taxpayer Identification Number is ___________.
8. This affidavit and agreement relates only to the Class R
Certificates held by the Owner and not to any other holder of the Class R
Certificates. The Owner understands that the liabilities described herein relate
only to the Class R Certificates.
9. That no purpose of the Owner relating to the transfer of any of the
Class R Certificates by the Owner is or will be to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax.
10. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the
Certificates remain outstanding. In this regard, the Owner hereby represents to
and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificate
that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R
Certificate as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax
liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificate.
11. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any
of the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.
12. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate
whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its
source, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise
primary jurisdiction over the administration of such trust and one or more
persons described in this Paragraph 12 controls all substantial decisions of
such trust.

Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that
investigation, the Seller has determined that the Purchaser has historically
paid its debts as they become due and has found no significant evidence to
indicate that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as they become
due in the future. The Seller understands that the transfer of a Class R
Certificate may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the
Seller may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated
therewith) unless the Seller has conducted such an investigation.
4. The Seller has no actual knowledge that the proposed Purchaser is
not both a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee.

Re: JV Capital Trust Residential Mortgage-Backed Certificates, Series
199__-__
Ladies and Gentlemen:
_______________________(the "Purchaser") intends to purchase from
____________________ (the "Seller"), a ____% Percentage Interest of Residential
Mortgage- Backed Certificates, Series 199__-__, Class _____ (the
"Certificates"), issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the
"Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), dated as of ____________, 199__ among JV
Capital Trust, as depositor (the "Depositor"), ______________________________,
as master servicer, and _________________________, 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 Depositor 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 Depositor 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,
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 copy of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and such other
information concerning the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and the Depositor as
has been requested by the Purchaser from the Depositor 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 Depositor 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 Depositor, the Purchaser acknowledges that
such Memorandum was provided to it by the Seller, that the Memorandum was
prepared by the Depositor solely for use in connection with the Original Sale
and the Depositor 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 Depositor 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 the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, (the "Code"), nor a Person acting, directly or indirectly,
on behalf of any such plan, and understands that registration of transfer of any
Certificate to any such employee benefit plan, or to any person acting on behalf
of such plan, will not be made unless such employee benefit plan delivers an
opinion of its counsel, addressed and satisfactory to the Trustee, the Depositor
and the Master Servicer, to the effect that the purchase and holding of a
Certificate by or on behalf of such employee benefit 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
-2-
result in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code, and would not subject the Depositor, 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. The Purchaser understands that under
current law such an opinion cannot be rendered.
