related assets subject to this Agreement as a REMIC (as defined herein) for
federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be
designated as "REMIC I". The Class R-I Certificates will be the sole class of

Purchase Agreement, and in the case of a substitution effected by the Depositor,
all applicable representations and warranties thereof set forth in Section 2.04,
in each case as of the date of substitution.
For any month in which the Depositor, the Originator, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇
Gate or the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the
amount (the "Substitution Shortfall Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate
Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as
to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance
thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month's interest on
such Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable Mortgage Loan Remittance
Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Depositor, the Originator, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇
Gate or the Seller, as the case may be, will
-60-
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer for deposit in the
Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any,
and the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or Loans and certification by the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release
to the Depositor, the Originator, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate or the Seller, as the case may
be, the related Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the
Depositor, the Originator, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate or the Seller, as the case may be,
shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted
Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the Depositor, the Originator, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate or
the Seller, as the case may be, shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not
cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on either REMIC I or REMIC II, including
without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under
Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after the startup date"
under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) either REMIC I or REMIC II to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
(e) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Originator, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇
Gate, the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does
not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)
of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give
written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the
Originator, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate, the Seller or the Depositor shall repurchase or,
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 60
days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such
affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made by (i) the
Originator, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate or the Seller, as the case may be, if the affected
Mortgage Loan's status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach
of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Originator, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇
Gate or the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or (ii) the
Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan's status as a non-qualified mortgage is
a breach of any representation or warranty of the Depositor set forth in Section
2.04 or if the status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of no
representation or warranty. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in
the same manner as set forth in Sections 2.03(a), if made by the Originator,
▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate or the Seller, or 2.03(b), if made by the Depositor. The Trustee
shall reconvey to the Depositor, the Originator, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate or the Seller, as
the case may be, 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.

a breach of any term or provision of the charter or by-laws of
the Master Servicer or (B) conflict with, result in a breach,
violation or acceleration of, or result in a default under,
the terms of any other material agreement or instrument to

assets of the Master Servicer taken as a whole;

Closing Date; and
(vii) The Master Servicer's computer and other systems
used in servicing the Mortgage Loans will be modified and
maintained to operate in a manner such that at all times,
including on and after January 1, 2000, (a) the Master
Servicer
-65-

the Agreement and (b) the Master Servicer can operate its

It is understood and agreed that the representations,

notice (but in no event later than two Business Days following such discovery)
to the Trustee. Subject to Section 7.01, the obligation of the Master Servicer
set forth in Section 2.03(c) to cure breaches shall constitute the sole remedies
against the Master Servicer available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor
or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders respecting a breach of the
representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Section 2.05. The
preceding sentence shall not, however, limit any remedies available to the
Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement signed by
the Master Servicer in its capacity as Originator, respecting a breach of the
representations, warranties and covenants of the Master Servicer in its capacity
as Originator contained in such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

Loans and the delivery to it of the Mortgage Files, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.01 and Section 2.02, together with the assignment to it of all other
assets included in REMIC I delivered on the date hereof, receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged. Concurrently with such assignment and delivery of such
assets delivered on the date hereof and in exchange therefor, the Trustee,
pursuant to the written request of the Depositor executed by an officer of the
Depositor, has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the
Depositor, the Class R-I Certificates in authorized denominations. The interests
evidenced by the Class R-I Certificates, together with the REMIC I Regular
Interests, constitute the entire beneficial ownership interest in REMIC I.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on
behalf of the Trustee and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (as determined by the Master Servicer in its reasonable
judgment) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective
Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner
in which it services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own
portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice
of prudent mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage
loans but without regard to:
(i) any relationship that the Master Servicer, any
Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) the ownership of any Certificate by the Master
Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer;
(iii) the Master Servicer's obligation to make P&I
Advances or Servicing Advances; or
(iv) the Master Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right
to receive compensation for its services hereunder or with
respect to any particular transaction.
To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall also seek
to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the
Mortgage Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the
terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through
Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all
things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem
necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby
authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Master Servicer believes it
appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with the servicing standards set
forth above, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the
Trustee, and upon notice to the Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction
or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged
Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or
cause to be held title
-68-
to such properties, on behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Master
Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
applicable state and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports
required to be provided to them thereby. The Master Servicer shall also comply
in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements
of each insurer under each Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and any standard
hazard insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute, at
the written request of the Master Servicer, and furnish to the Master Servicer
and any Sub-Servicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable
the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and
administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee hereby grants to the Master
Servicer a power of attorney to carry out such duties. The Trustee shall not be
liable for the actions of the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such
powers of attorney.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph,
the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for
the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the
Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable in
the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to
Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the
Master Servicer or by Sub-Servicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose of calculating
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan
so permit.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Master Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage
Loan (except as provided in Section 4.03) and the Master Servicer shall not (i)
permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the
Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions
resulting from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date
on such Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in
default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of
the Master Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) permit any modification,
waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect
an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code
(or final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder)
and (B) cause either REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the
Code or the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions
after the startup date" under the REMIC Provisions.
The Master Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under
this Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the
Master Servicer from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this
Agreement.
SECTION 3.02. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master
Servicer and Sub-Servicers.
-69-
(a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing
Agreements (provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a
downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates)
with Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans.
Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business
in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to
service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable
the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the
Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan
originator by the Federal Housing Administration or an institution the deposit
accounts of which are insured by the FDIC and (iii) a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae
approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the
Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08
and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of
this Agreement. The Master Servicer will examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement
and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing
Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement.
The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into and make amendments to
the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Sub- Servicing
Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or different forms shall
be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no
such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be
reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the
Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled
to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any variation without the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the
provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority
requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the
Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the Sub-
Servicers to the Master Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent
with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Master Servicer shall deliver
to the Trustee copies of all Sub- Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or
modifications thereof, promptly upon the Master Servicer's execution and
delivery of such instruments.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master
Servicer (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph),
for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the
obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub- Servicing Agreement and
of the Originator and the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,
including, without limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of
delinquent payments as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement, or to purchase a
Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation or on account of
a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, as described in Section
2.03(a). Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution
of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other
appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent
and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment,
would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master
Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall
be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such
enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due
in respect of the
-70-
related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or
attorneys' fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.
Enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement against the Originator shall
be effected by the Master Servicer to the extent it is not the Originator, and
otherwise by the Trustee, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph.
SECTION 3.03. Successor Sub-Servicers.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any
Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer
pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms and
conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of termination of any
Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed
simultaneously by the Master Servicer without any act or deed on the part of
such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer either shall
service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing
Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that
such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trustee without fee, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Master
Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Master Servicer (including
termination due to a Master Servicer Event of Default).
SECTION 3.04. Liability of the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the
Master Servicer and a Sub- Servicer or reference to actions taken through a
Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and
primarily liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and
administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section
3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such
Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from
the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions
as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage
Loans. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a
Sub-Servicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
SECTION 3.05. No Contractual Relationship Between
Sub-Servicers and Trustee or Certificateholders.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer
in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the
Master Servicer alone, and the Trustee and Certificateholders shall not be
deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or
liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section
3.06. The
-71-
Master Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any
Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Master Servicer's compensation
pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such
fees.
SECTION 3.06. Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing
Agreements by Trustee.
In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no
longer be the master servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Master
Servicer Event of Default), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume
all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each
Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Master Servicer may have entered into, unless
the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with
its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trustee, its
designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant to Section
7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the Master
Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party
to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing
Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Master
Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any
Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) none of the Trustee, its designee or any
successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or
obligation of the Master Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Master
Servicer.
The Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the
Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to
each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an
accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise
use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-
Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.
SECTION 3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect
all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans,
and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement
and the terms and provisions of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy
and any other applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures
as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage
Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master
Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if
applicable, penalty interest, only upon determining that the coverage of such
Mortgage Loan by the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, will not
be affected, or (ii) extend the due dates for Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage
Note for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided that any extension
pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any
Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided
below. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the
Master Servicer shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such
extension pursuant to Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization
schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such
arrangements.
-72-
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default
or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably
foreseeable, the Master Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in
Section 3.01, may also, waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan
(including modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the
payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such
Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than
the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan (such
payment, a "Short Pay-off") or consent to the postponement of strict compliance
with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor.
SECTION 3.08. Sub-Servicing Accounts.
In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to
establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing
Account"). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall
comply with all requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection
Account. The Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account
must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and
collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing
activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after
the Sub-Servicer's receipt thereof, all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by
the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the
Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the
Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit
of such funds into the clearing account. The Sub-Servicer shall thereafter
deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the
Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two
Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account.
For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have
received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such
payments.
SECTION 3.09. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar
Items; Servicing Accounts.
The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"), into which all collections from the
Mortgagors (or related advances from Sub-Servicers) for the payment of ground
rents, taxes, assessments, fire and hazard insurance premiums, Primary Mortgage
Insurance Premiums, water charges, sewer rents and comparable items for the
account of the Mortgagors ("Escrow Payments") shall be deposited and retained.
Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Master Servicer shall deposit
in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it
customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than one Business Day after the Master Servicer's receipt thereof, all
Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter
deposit such Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in no event more than
two Business Days after the deposit of such funds in the clearing account, for
the purpose of effecting the
-73-
payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement.
Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect
payment of Escrow Payments; (ii) reimburse the Master Servicer (or a
Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub- Servicing Agreement) out
of related collections for any advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with
respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to hazard
insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be
overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors
on balances in the Servicing Account; (v) clear and terminate the Servicing
Account at the termination of the Master Servicer's obligations and
responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in
accordance with Article IX; or (vi) recover amounts deposited in error. As part
of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall pay to the
Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by
law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts
is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any
reimbursement therefor. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for
Escrow Payments, the Master Servicer shall determine whether any such payments
are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of the
Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure of a tax lien. The
Master Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills
and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's
faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments
and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
SECTION 3.10. Collection Account and Distribution Account.
(a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall
establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the
"Collection Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall
deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be
an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections
on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a
daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Master
Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection
Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds
into the clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required
hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by it
subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest
on the related Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date), or payments
(other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off
Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including
Principal Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the
related Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;
-74-
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds
(other than proceeds collected in respect of any particular
REO Property and amounts paid by the Master Servicer in
connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties pursuant to Section 9.01);
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to
Section 3.12 in connection with any losses realized on
Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the
Collection Account;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master
Servicer pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.14(a)
in respect of any blanket policy deductibles;
(vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or
purchased in accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 9.01;
(vii) all amounts required to be deposited in
connection with shortfalls in principal amount of Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.03; and
(viii) any amounts required to be transferred from any
Buydown Account pursuant to Section 3.25.
For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Cut-off Date with
respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the date
of substitution.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection
Accounts shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment
charges or assumption fees need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the
Collection Account. In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit 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.
(b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish
and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the "Distribution
Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. On behalf of
the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee in immediately
available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account on or before 3:00 p.m.
New York time (i) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the
Available Distribution Amount for each Sub-Pool (calculated without regard to
the references in clause (2) of the definition thereof to amounts that may be
withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then
on deposit in the Collection Account, and (ii) on each Business Day as of the
commencement of which the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds
$75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the next succeeding sentence, the
amount of such excess, but only if the Collection Account constitutes an
Eligible Account solely
-75-
pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible Account." If the balance
on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of
business on any Business Day and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible
Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible Account,"
the Master Servicer shall, on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on such Business
Day, withdraw from the Collection Account any and all amounts payable or
reimbursable to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Originator,
the Seller or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay such
amounts to the Persons entitled thereto.
(c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution
Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Master Servicer shall give notice to
the Trustee and the Depositor of the location of the Collection Account
maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Trustee
shall give notice to the Master Servicer and the Depositor of the location of
the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof.
(d) Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be
delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee for deposit in an account (which
may be the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the
Distribution Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all
purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection
Account; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have the sole authority to
withdraw any funds held pursuant to this subsection (d). In the event the Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account
any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time request that
the Trustee withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it
any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In
addition, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee from time to time for
deposit, and upon written notification from the Master Servicer, the Trustee
shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:
(i) any P&I Advances, as required pursuant to Section
4.03;
(ii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to
Section 3.23(d) or (f) in connection with any REO Property;
(iii) any amounts to be paid by the Master Servicer in
connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties pursuant to Section 9.01;
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to
Section 3.24 in connection with any Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls; and
(v) any Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the
federal bankruptcy court having jurisdiction in such matters.
(e) Promptly upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from
the Master Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy, or federal bankruptcy court or
other source, the Trustee shall
-76-
deposit such funds in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal thereof
pursuant to Section 7.02(b) or as otherwise permitted hereunder.
(f) The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection
Account any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12(b) in
connection with losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds
held in the Collection Account.
SECTION 3.11. Withdrawals from the Collection Account and
Distribution Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall, from time to time, make
withdrawals from the Collection Account for any of the following purposes or as
described in Section 4.03:
(i) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account the amounts required to be so remitted
pursuant to Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted
pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.10(d);
(ii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Master
Servicer for P&I Advances, but only to the extent of amounts
received which represent Late Collections (net of the related
Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments on Mortgage Loans with
respect to which such P&I Advances were made in accordance
with the provisions of Section 4.03;
(iii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Master
Servicer or any Sub- Servicer any unpaid Servicing Fees and
reimburse any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to
each Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any Liquidation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or other amounts as may be
collected by the Master Servicer from a Mortgagor, or
otherwise received with respect to such Mortgage Loan;
(iv) to pay to the Master Servicer as servicing
compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee) on the Master
Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment income
earned on funds deposited in the Collection Account;
(v) to pay to the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the
Originator, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate or the Seller, as the case may be,
with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been
purchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section
3.16(c) all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of
purchase or substitution, as the case may be;
(vi) to reimburse the Master Servicer for any P&I
Advance previously made which the Master Servicer has
determined to be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance in accordance
with the provisions of Section 4.03;
-77-
(vii) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Depositor
for expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Master
Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, pursuant to
Section 6.03;
(viii) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
the case may be, for expenses reasonably incurred in respect
of the breach or defect giving rise to the purchase obligation
under Section 2.03 or Section 2.04 of this Agreement that were
included in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan, including
any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase
obligation;
(ix) to pay, or to reimburse the Master Servicer for
advances in respect of, expenses incurred in connection with
any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(b); and
(x) to clear and terminate the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 9.01.
The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate
accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of
justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or
on behalf of it, pursuant to subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) and
(ix) above. The Master Servicer shall provide written notification to the
Trustee, on or prior to the next succeeding Master Servicer Remittance Date,
upon making any withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclause
(vii) above.
(b) The Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals
from the Distribution Account, for any of the following purposes, without
priority:
(i) to make distributions to Certificateholders in
accordance with Section 4.01;
(ii) to pay to itself amounts to which it is entitled
pursuant to Section 8.05;
(iii) to pay itself any interest income earned on funds
deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section
3.12(c);
(iv) to reimburse itself pursuant to Section 7.02;
(v) to pay any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to
10.01(g)(iii); and
(vi) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account
pursuant to Section 9.01.
-78-
SECTION 3.12. Investment of Funds in the Collection Account
and the Distribution Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution
maintaining the Collection Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, an
"Investment Account"), and the Trustee, in its individual capacity, may direct
any depository institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of
this Section 3.12, also an "Investment Account"), to invest the funds in such
Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold
at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the
Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to
be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other
than the Trustee is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on
which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this
Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments
shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in
an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity
as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be
entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment direction of
funds held in the Collection Account and any income and gain realized thereon)
over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing
any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent,
together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such
investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an
Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on
demand, the Trustee shall:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given
thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on
the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise
mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of
(1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the
amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly
upon determination by a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee that such Permitted Investment would not
constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds
thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.
(b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer,
shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its
withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.11. The Master Servicer shall deposit in
the Collection Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect
of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately
upon realization of such loss.
(c) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Distribution Account held by or on behalf of the Trustee, shall
be for the benefit of the Trustee and shall be subject to its withdrawal at any
time. The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution
-79-
Account, the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such
Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon
realization of such loss.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted
Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any
Permitted Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section
8.02(a)(v), upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing more
than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take
such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance,
including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
SECTION 3.13. Maintenance of the Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies; Collections Thereunder.
The Master Servicer will maintain or cause the related
Sub-Servicer, if any, to maintain in full force and effect, if required under
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and to the extent available, a Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy conforming in all respects to the description set
forth in Section 6(xxxiii) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect
to each Mortgage Loan so insured as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, on the date of substitution). Such coverage
will be maintained with respect to each such Mortgage Loan for so long as it is
outstanding, subject to any applicable laws or until the related Loan-to-Value
Ratio is reduced to less than or equal to 80% based on Mortgagor payments. The
Master Servicer shall cause the premium for each Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy to be paid on a timely basis and shall pay such premium out of its own
funds if it is not otherwise paid. The Master Servicer or the related
Sub-Servicer, if any, will not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date (or, in the case of a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, on the date of substitution) that is
required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is obtained
from and maintained with an insurer that satisfies the standards set forth in
Section 6 (xxxiii) of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Sub-Servicer
to take, any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the
Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master
Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable
rules and requirements of each insurer under each Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy. In connection with any assumption and modification agreement or
substitution of liability agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant
to Section 3.15, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the
related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption in
accordance with the terms of such policies and shall take all actions which may
be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under
the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If any such Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption, the Master Servicer or the
related Sub-Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy as provided above.
-80-
In connection with its activities as administrator and
servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and
present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to
the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in
accordance with the terms of such policies and, in this regard, to take such
action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Any amounts collected by
the Master Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be
deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.11; and any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy in respect of any REO Property shall be deposited in
the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23. In those
cases in which a Mortgage Loan is serviced by a Sub-Servicer, the Sub-Servicer,
on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Certificateholders, will present
claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and all
collections thereunder shall be deposited initially in the Sub-Servicing
Account.
SECTION 3.14. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and
Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.
(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged
Property in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the current
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to fully
compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such
property on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value of
the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in an
amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any
coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Master
Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire insurance with extended coverage
on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i)
the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such
property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan
at the time it became an REO Property, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage
Rate and related Servicing Advances. The Master Servicer will comply in the
performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each
insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the
Master Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts
to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the
Master Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account,
subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note)
shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO
Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such
insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
It is understood and agreed 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. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property
-81-
is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the Master Servicer
will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such
flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of
such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national
flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property
is located is participating in such program).
In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and
maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of A:X
or better in Best's Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to
such rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it
shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in
the first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed
that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master
Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the
related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two
sentences of this Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses
which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account
from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy
because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as
administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to
prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders,
claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the
terms of such policy.
(b) The Master Servicer shall keep in force during the term of
this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions
for failure in the performance of the Master Servicer's obligations under this
Agreement, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would
meet the requirements of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac if it were the purchaser of
the Mortgage Loans, unless the Master Servicer has obtained a waiver of such
requirements from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac. The Master Servicer shall also
maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements
of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac, unless the Master Servicer has obtained a waiver
of such requirements from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac. The Master Servicer shall
provide the Trustee (upon the Trustee's reasonable request) with copies of any
such insurance policies and fidelity bond. The Master Servicer shall be deemed
to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the Master Servicer has
such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such
insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to
the Master Servicer. Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond
shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days' prior written notice
to the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall also cause each Sub-Servicer to
maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond
which would meet such requirements.
-82-
SECTION 3.15. Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
The Master Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of
any conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any
Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or
not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or
the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage
Loan under the "due-on-sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided,
however, that the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if
prohibited by law from doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair
or threaten to impair any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy, if any. If the Master Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under
applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, or if any of the other
conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Master
Servicer will enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with
the person to whom such property has been conveyed or is proposed to be
conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note
and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains
liable thereon. The Master Servicer is also authorized to enter into a
substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the
original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is substituted as
the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, provided that no such
substitution shall be effective unless such person satisfies the underwriting
criteria of the Master Servicer and has a credit risk rating at least equal to
that of the original Mortgagor. In connection with any assumption or
substitution, the Master Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and
follow such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general
mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned
solely by it. The Master Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption
and modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued
effectiveness of any applicable Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or hazard
insurance policy, or a new policy meeting the requirements of this Section is
obtained. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer in respect of an assumption
or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer
as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no
material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related
Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified,
except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof. The Master Servicer
shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has
been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the executed original of such
substitution or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the
related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such
Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision
of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default,
breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any
assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the
Mortgage Note or any assumption which the Master Servicer may be restricted by
law from preventing, for any reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.15,
the term
-83-
"assumption" is deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property)
subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution
of liability agreement.
SECTION 3.16. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall, consistent with the servicing
standard set forth in Section 3.01, 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 3.07. The Master
Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any
such proceedings; provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be
recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Master Servicer as contemplated in
Section 3.11 and Section 3.23. The foregoing is subject to the provision that,
in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an
Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own
funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its
discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of
the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
3.16 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan
as to which the Master Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual
knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related
Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee,
either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any
other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any
such action, the Trustee, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders would be
considered to hold title to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an
"owner" or "operator" of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Master Servicer has
also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report
prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary
industry standards, that:
(1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with
applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in
the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such
actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into
compliance therewith; and
(2) there are no circumstances present at such
Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal
of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation,
testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation
could be required under any federal, state or local law or
regulation, or that if any such materials are present for
which such action could be required, that it would be in the
best
-84-
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with
respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by
this Section 3.23 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the
Master Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as
provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the
rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account
received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
If the Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it
is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Master Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance,
containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Master Servicer,
subject to the Master Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the
Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right of
reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to receive any
amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage
Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
(c) The Master Servicer may at its option purchase from REMIC
I any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more delinquent, which the Master
Servicer determines in good faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure
proceedings (evidence of such determination to be delivered in writing to the
Trustee prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase
Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the
Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from
the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to
the Master Servicer the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the
Master Servicer shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the Master
Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
(d) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery
Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of
Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan,
will be applied in the following order of priority: FIRST, to reimburse the
Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing
Advances and P&I Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii); SECOND,
to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final
Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on
which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final
Recovery Determination; and THIRD, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage
Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the
full amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount
of such recovery will be allocated by the Master Servicer as follows: FIRST, to
unpaid Servicing Fees; and SECOND, to the balance of the interest then due and
owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid
-85-
Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii).
SECTION 3.17. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the
receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be
escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will
immediately notify the Trustee by a certification in the form of Exhibit E-2
(which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts
received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to
be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or
will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of
the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee
shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer. No
expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of
reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution
Account.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or any other insurance policy relating to
the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and
delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E-l,
release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Trustee shall,
at the direction of the Master Servicer, 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 each and every document previously
requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee when the need therefor by the
Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated
and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited
in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been
delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as
required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other
proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or
non-judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered to the Trustee a
certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the
Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the
purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a
Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that are
required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or
that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for
Release shall be released by the Trustee to the Master Servicer.
(c) Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer any court pleadings,
requests for trustee's sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the
foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal
action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law
or in equity. Each such
-86-
certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be
executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or
pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except
for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or
trustee's sale.
SECTION 3.18. Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with
respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest and
Buydown Funds in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In
addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees
out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by
Section 3.11(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of
an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. The right to receive
the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in
connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer's responsibilities
and obligations under this Agreement.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees, late payment charges and other similar fees and charges shall be retained
by the Master Servicer (subject to Section 3.24) only to the extent such fees or
charges are received by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall also be
entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection
Account, and pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as
additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits
therein, subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Master Servicer shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder (including premiums due under the Primary Insurance
Policies, if any, premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14, to the
extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a
Sub-Servicer, servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer, and to the extent
provided herein in Section 8.05, the fees and expenses of the Trustee) and shall
not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided
herein.
SECTION 3.19. Reports to the Trustee; Collection Account
Statements.
Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the
Master Servicer shall forward to the Trustee and the Depositor a statement
prepared by the Master Servicer setting forth the status of the Collection
Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date and showing, for
the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and
withdrawals from the Collection Account of each category of deposit specified in
Section 3.10(a) and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.11. Such
statement may be in the form of the then current ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ Monthly Accounting
Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass- Through Program with appropriate
additions and changes, and shall also include information as to the aggregate of
the outstanding principal balances of all of the Mortgage Loans as of the last
day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution Date. Copies
of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and
to any Person identified
-87-
to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the
expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the
Master Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.20. Statement as to Compliance.
The Master Servicer will deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor
and each Rating Agency on or before April 15 of each calendar year commencing in
2000, an Officers' Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a
review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding year and of
performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision
and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the
Master Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement
throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any
such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the
nature and status thereof. Copies of any such statement shall be provided by the
Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as
a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon the request and at the expense
of the requesting party, provided that such statement is delivered by the Master
Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.21. Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Report.
Not later than April 15 of each calendar year commencing in
2000, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized
firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Master
Servicer a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation
regarding certain matters from the management of the Master Servicer which
includes an assertion that the Master Servicer has complied with certain minimum
residential mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers
Association of America, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage
loans during the most recently completed fiscal year and (ii) on the basis of an
examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation is
fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other
qualifications that may be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may
rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage
loans by Sub-Servicers, upon comparable reports of firms of independent
certified public accountants rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in
accordance with the same standards (rendered within one year of such report)
with respect to those Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report,
the Master Servicer shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee and each
Rating Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder upon request at the Master Servicer's expense, provided that
such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee. In the event
such firm of independent certified public accountants requires the Trustee to
agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the Master Servicer shall direct
the Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the
Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the
direction of the Master Servicer, and the Trustee has not made any independent
inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in
respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures.
-88-
SECTION 3.22. Access to Certain Documentation.
The Master Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder,
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable
laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only
upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the
Master Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans will be provided to any Certificateholder, the
Trustee and to any Person identified to the Master Servicer as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, upon reasonable request during normal business
hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it at the expense of
the Person requesting such access.
SECTION 3.23. Title, Management and Disposition of REO
Property.
(a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall
be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall
either sell any REO Property within three years after the Trust Fund acquires
ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the day
on which the three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of the
three-year grace period, unless the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the
Trustee and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and
the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO
Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition will not result in the
imposition on REMIC I or REMIC II of taxes on "prohibited transactions" thereof,
as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to
qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding. The Master Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate
each REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its
prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property
to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by REMIC I or REMIC II of any
"income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B)
of the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to
taxation under the REMIC Provisions.
(b) The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property
separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and
maintain with respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the "REO Account"), which shall be an
Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection
Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO
Property. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any
interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account.
-89-
(c) The Master Servicer shall have full power and authority,
subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to
do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with
the manner in which the Master Servicer manages and operates similar property
owned by the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for
such period as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interests of
Certificateholders. In connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall deposit,
or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an
Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on
mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a
daily basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Master
Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in
no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the
clearing account, all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property
and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of such REO Property including, without limitation:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of
such REO Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of
such REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien
thereon; and
(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such
REO Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO
Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through
(iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall advance
from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only
if, the Master Servicer would make such advances if the Master Servicer owned
the REO Property and if in the Master Servicer's judgment, the payment of such
amounts will be recoverable from the rental or sale of the REO Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor
the Trustee shall:
(i) authorize the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or
extend any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the
New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does
not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) authorize any amount to be received or accrued
under any New Lease other than amounts that will constitute
Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize any construction on any REO Property,
other than the completion of a building or other improvement
thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the
construction of such building or other improvement was
completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan became
imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of
the Code; or
-90-
(iv) authorize any Person to Directly Operate any REO
Property on any date more than 90 days after its date of
acquisition by the Trust Fund;
unless, in any such case, the Master Servicer has obtained an Opinion of
Counsel, provided to the Trustee, to the effect that such action will not cause
such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held by the
Trust Fund, in which case the Master Servicer may take such actions as are
specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
The Master Servicer may contract with any Independent
Contractor for the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall
not be inconsistent herewith;
(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be
administered to require, that the Independent Contractor pay
all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
operation and management of such REO Property, including those
listed above and remit all related revenues (net of such costs
and expenses) to the Master Servicer as soon as practicable,
but in no event later than thirty days following the receipt
thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.23(c)
relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any
such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the
Master Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders with respect to
the operation and management of any such REO Property; and
(iv) the Master Servicer shall be obligated with respect
thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all
duties and obligations in connection with the operation and
management of such REO Property.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any
Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and
obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such
Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or modify such indemnification. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable for
all fees owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether
the Master Servicer's compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay
such fees.
(d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section
3.23(c), the Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO
Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid
Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse
itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I Advances
made in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the
-91-
Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from each
REO Account maintained by it and deposit into the Distribution Account in
accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii), for distribution on the related
Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01, the income from the related
REO Property received during the prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals
made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this Section 3.23(d).
(e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section
3.23(a), and further subject to obtaining the approval of the insurer under any
related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy (if and to the extent that such
approvals are necessary to make claims under such policies in respect of the
affected REO Property), each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Master
Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Master Servicer
shall deem necessary or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general
servicing activities for similar properties.
(f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount
required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan
and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account
in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date in
the month following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related
Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01. 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).
(g) The Master Servicer shall file information returns with
respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business,
reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and
cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as
required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such
reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting
requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
SECTION 3.24. Obligations of the Master Servicer in Respect of
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit
into the Distribution Account on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Master
Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution
Date resulting from full or partial Principal Prepayments during the related
Prepayment Period and (ii) the portion of its aggregate Servicing Fee which
accrued at a Servicing Fee Rate of 0.20% per annum for the most recently ended
calendar month.
-92-
SECTION 3.25. Administration of Buydown Funds.
The Buydown Account established and maintained by the Master
Servicer with respect to each Buydown Mortgage Loan shall be a non-interest
bearing Eligible Account. Upon receipt from the Mortgagor of the amount due on a
Due Date for each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will withdraw from
the related Buydown Account the predetermined amount that, when added to the
amount due on such date from the Mortgagor, equals the Monthly Payment and will
deposit that amount together with the related payment made by the Mortgagor in
the Collection Account.
If any Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan prepays such
Mortgage Loan in its entirety during the Buydown Period, the Master Servicer
will withdraw from the related Buydown Account and remit to such Mortgagor in
accordance with the related Buydown Agreement any Buydown Funds remaining in the
Buydown Account. If a Principal Prepayment by a Mortgagor during the Buydown
Period, together with any Buydown Funds in the related Buydown Account, will
result in a Principal Prepayment in full, the Master Servicer will withdraw from
the related Buydown Account for deposit in the Collection Account the Buydown
Funds, which together with such Principal Prepayment, will result in a Principal
Prepayment in full. If a Mortgagor defaults during the Buydown Period with
respect to a Buydown Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property is sold at
foreclosure or title thereto is acquired on behalf of the Certificateholders,
the Master Servicer will withdraw from the Buydown Account the Buydown Funds
(which shall thereupon constitute "Liquidation Proceeds" for purposes of this
Agreement) for deposit in the Collection Account.
SECTION 3.26. Obligations of the Master Servicer in Respect of
Mortgage Rates and Monthly Payments.
In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or
liability with respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to
Stated Principal Balances that were made by the Master Servicer in a manner not
consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the
Master Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall
deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account from its own
funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and any successor master servicer in
respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or
discharge of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV
PAYMENTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
SECTION 4.01. Distributions.
(a)(i) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw
from the Distribution Account an amount equal to the sum of the Available
Distribution Amount for Sub-Pool 1 and the Available Distribution Amount for
Sub-Pool 2 and distribute to the Certificateholders in the related Sub-Pool from
the related Available Distribution Amount (and, in the case of the Class IO
Certificates and the Class PO Certificates, from the Available Distribution
Amount for each Sub- Pool) the following amounts, in the following order of
priority:
FIRST, to distributions of interest in respect of the Class A
Certificates, the Class IO Certificates and the Class R-II
Certificates, (in the case of the Class R-II Certificates
from the Available Distribution Amount for Sub-Pool 1), in an
amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amount in respect
of each such Class of Certificates for such Distribution
Date;
SECOND, to the extent of the Class PO Principal Distribution
Amount, to distributions of principal to the Class PO
Certificates (applied to reduce the Certificate Principal
Balances of such Certificates);
THIRD, to the extent of the related Class A Principal
Distribution Amount, to distributions of principal to the
related Class A Certificates and in the case of amounts
available from the Available Distribution Amount for Sub-Pool
1, the Class R-II Certificates (applied to reduce the
Certificate Principal Balances of such Certificates) in the
priorities and amounts set forth in Section 4.01(b)(i);
FOURTH, to distributions of interest in respect of the
Subordinate Certificates, other than the Class of Subordinate
Certificates with the highest numerical designation then
outstanding, in an amount (allocable among such Certificates
PRO RATA in accordance with the respective amounts payable as
to each pursuant to this clause FOURTH, in the order of
priority from the Class of Subordinate Certificates with the
lowest numerical designation to the Class of Subordinate
Certificates with the highest numerical designation entitled
to a distribution of interest pursuant to this clause FOURTH)
equal to the aggregate of the Interest Distribution Amounts in
respect of such Certificates for such Distribution Date;
FIFTH, to distributions of principal to the Class PO
Certificates (applied to reduce the Certificate Principal
Balance of such Certificates) in an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of the Class PO Percentage of the Stated
Principal Balance of each Class PO Mortgage Loan as to which a
Final Liquidation has occurred, over the amount distributed in
respect of such Class PO Mortgage Loan to the Class PO
Certificates pursuant to clause SECOND above;
-94-
SIXTH, to distributions in respect of the Class of Subordinate
Certificates with the highest numerical designation then
outstanding, in an amount equal to the Interest Distribution
Amount in respect of such Certificates for such Distribution
Date;
SEVENTH, to the Holders of the Classes of the Subordinate
Certificates, on the related Components thereof in each
Sub-Pool, an aggregate amount equal to the related Subordinate
Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date
(applied to reduce the Component Balances of such Components),
allocable among the related Components PRO RATA in accordance
with the respective amounts payable as to each such Component
pursuant to the priorities and amounts set forth in Section
4.01(b)(ii); and
EIGHTH, to the Holders of the Class R-II Certificates, any
remaining amounts from either Available Distribution Amount.
(ii) All references above to the Certificate Principal Balance
of any Class of Certificates or to the Component Balance of any
Component shall be to the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class
or the Component Balance of such Component, respectively, immediately
prior to the relevant Distribution Date, reduced (to not less than
zero) by any Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses and Realized Losses, in
each case allocated to such Class of Certificates or such Component, on
such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.04.
(b)(i)(a) On each Distribution Date, the aggregate
distributions of principal made on such date in respect of the Group 1
Class A Certificates and the Class R-II Certificates pursuant to
Section 4.01(a)(i) THIRD above shall be applied among the various
Classes thereof in the following order of priority, in each case to the
extent of remaining available funds from the Group 1 Class A Principal
Distribution Amount:
FIRST, to the holders of the Class R-II Certificates on the
Distribution Date in March 1999, an amount equal to the entire
Certificate Principal Balance thereof; and
SECOND, concurrently, the holders of the Lockout Certificates
and the Senior Support Lockout Certificates, the related
Lockout Distribution Percentage of the remaining Group 1 Class
A Principal Distribution Amount, until the related Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
THIRD, concurrently, until the Certificate Principal Balance
of the Class A1-1 Certificates has been reduced to zero,
59.4555585603% to the holders of the Class A1-1 Certificates
and 40.5444414397% to the holders of the Super Senior
Certificates;
FOURTH, concurrently, until the Certificate Principal Balance
of the Super Senior Certificates has been reduced to zero,
23.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇% to the holders of the Class
-95-
A1-2 Certificates, 23.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇% to the holders of the Class
A1-3 Certificates and 52.1296131746% to the holders of the
Super Senior Certificates;
FIFTH, concurrently, on a PRO RATA basis, to the holders of
the Class A1-2 Certificates and the holders of the Class A1-3

have been reduced to zero; and
SIXTH, concurrently, on a PRO RATA basis, to the holders of
the Lockout Certificates and the holders of the Super Senior
Lockout Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balances
thereof have been reduced to zero.
Notwithstanding the foregoing priorities, upon the reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balances of the Subordinate Certificates to zero but prior
to the reduction of the Senior Support Lockout Certificates to zero, the
sequential nature of distributions of principal among the Group 1 Class A
Certificates will be disregarded and distributions allocable to principal will
be paid on each succeeding Distribution Date to holders of the Group 1 Class A
Certificates on a PRO RATA basis, based on the Certificate Principal Balances
thereof; provided, however that the aggregate amount distributable to the Super
Senior Certificates and the Senior Support Lockout Certificates will be
distributed among such Certificates in the following priority: FIRST, to the
Super Senior Certificates, up to an amount equal to the Interest Distribution
Amount thereon; SECOND, to the Super Senior Certificates, up to an amount equal
to the Super Senior Optimal Principal Distribution Amount, in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof; THIRD; to the Senior Support Lockout
Certificates, up to an amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amount thereon;
and FOURTH, to the Senior Support Lockout Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.
Notwithstanding the foregoing priorities, upon the reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balances of the Subordinate Certificates and the Senior
Support Lockout Certificates to zero, the sequential nature of distributions of
principal among the Group 1 Class A Certificates will be disregarded and
distributions allocable to principal will be paid on each succeeding
Distribution Date to holders of the Group 1 Class A Certificates on a PRO RATA
basis, based on the Certificate Principal Balances thereof.
(b) On each Distribution Date, the aggregate
distributions of principal made on such date in respect of the Class A2
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(i) THIRD above shall be distributed to
the Class A2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero to the extent of remaining available funds from the Group 2
Class A Principal Distribution Amount.
(ii) With respect to Sub-Pool 1 and Sub-Pool 2, on each
Distribution Date, the aggregate distributions of principal made on
such date in respect of the related Components of the Subordinate
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(i) SEVENTH above shall be
applied among such Components, in the order of priority from the
Component with the lowest numerical designation to the Component with
the highest numerical designation (i.e. from
-96-
B-1 to B-6), in each case to the extent of the remaining related
Available Distribution Amount up to the amount allocable to such
Component for such Distribution Date and in each case until the
Component Balance of each such Component is reduced to zero, in an
amount with respect to each such Component equal to the sum of (X) the
related Class B Percentage of the amounts described in clauses (i)
through (v) of clause (a) of the definition of the related Subordinate
Principal Distribution Amount, (Y) the portion of the amounts described
in clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of the related Subordinate
Principal Distribution Amount allocable to such Component pursuant to
Section 4.01(b)(iii) below and (Z) the excess, if any, of the amount
required to be distributed to such Component pursuant to this Section
4.01(b)(ii) for the immediately preceding Distribution Date, over the
aggregate distributions of principal made in respect of such Component
on such immediately preceding Distribution Date pursuant to Section
4.01 to the extent that any such excess is not attributable to Realized
Losses which were allocated to a related or unrelated Component of the
Subordinate Certificates bearing a lower priority pursuant to Section
4.04.
(iii) On any Distribution Date and with respect to each
Sub-Pool, the portion of (a) all net Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance
Proceeds with respect to any Mortgage Loans in such Sub-Pool that were
the subject of a Final Recovery Determination in the related Prepayment
Period and (b) all Principal Prepayments received in respect of the
Mortgage Loans in such Sub-Pool in the related Prepayment Period,
allocable to principal and not included in the related Class A
Principal Distribution Amount and the Class PO Principal Distribution
Amount, will be allocated on a PRO RATA basis among the following
Components of related Subordinate Certificates (each, an "Eligible
Component") in proportion to the respective outstanding Component
Balances thereof: (a) in the case of the related Components in Sub-Pool
1 (i) Component B-1-1, (ii) Component B-2-1, if on such Distribution
Date the aggregate percentage interest in the Trust Fund evidenced by
the Class B-2 Certificates, the Class B-3 Certificates, the Class B-4
Certificates, the Class B-5 Certificates and the Class B-6PO
Certificates equal or exceeds 2.00% before giving effect to
distributions on such Distribution Date, (iii) Component B-3-1, if on
such Distribution Date the aggregate percentage interest in the Trust
Fund evidenced by the Class B-3 Certificates, the Class B-4
Certificates, the Class B-5 Certificates and the Class B-6PO
Certificates equals or exceeds 1.10% before giving effect to
distributions on such Distribution Date; (iv) Component B-4-1, if on
such Distribution Date the percentage interest in the Trust Fund
evidenced by the Class B-4 Certificates, the Class B-5 Certificates and
the Class B-6PO Certificates equals or exceeds 0.75% before giving
effect to distributions on such Distribution Date; (v) Component B-5-1,
if on such Distribution Date the percentage interest in the Trust Fund
evidenced by the Class B-5 Certificates and the Class B-6PO
Certificates equals or exceeds 0.40% before giving effect to
distributions on such Distribution Date; and (vi) Component B-6PO-1, if
on such Distribution Date the percentage interest in the Trust Fund
evidenced by the Class B-6PO Certificates equals or exceeds 0.25%
before giving effect to distributions on such Distribution Date and (b)
in the case of the related Components in Sub-Pool 2 (i) Component
B-1-2, (ii) Component B- 2-2, if on such Distribution Date the
aggregate percentage interest in the Trust Fund
-97-
evidenced by the Class B-2 Certificates, the Class B-3 Certificates,
the Class B-4 Certificates, the Class B-5 Certificates and the Class
B-6PO Certificates equal or exceeds 2.00% before giving effect to
distributions on such Distribution Date, (iii) Component B-3- 2, if on
such Distribution Date the aggregate percentage interest in the Trust
Fund evidenced by the Class B-3 Certificates, the Class B-4
Certificates, the Class B-5 Certificates and the Class B-6PO
Certificates equals or exceeds 1.10% before giving effect to
distributions on such Distribution Date; (iv) Component B-4-2, if on
such Distribution Date the percentage interest in the Trust Fund
evidenced by the Class B-4 Certificates, the Class B-5 Certificates and
the Class B-6PO Certificates equals or exceeds 0.75% before giving
effect to distributions on such Distribution Date; (v) Component B-5-2,
if on such Distribution Date the percentage interest in the Trust Fund
evidenced by the Class B-5 Certificates and the Class B-6PO
Certificates equals or exceeds 0.40% before giving effect to
distributions on such Distribution Date; and (vi) Component B-6PO-2, if
on such Distribution Date the percentage interest in the Trust Fund
evidenced by the Class B-6PO Certificates equals or exceeds 0.25%
before giving effect to distributions on such Distribution Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the application of the foregoing on
any Distribution Date as provided in Section 4.01 would result in a
distribution in respect of principal to any Component or Components of
Subordinate Certificates in a related Sub- Pool in an amount greater
than the remaining Component Balance thereof (any such Component, a
"Maturing Component") then: (a) the amount to be allocated to each
Maturing Component shall be reduced to a level that, when applied as
described above, would exactly reduce the Component Balance of such
Component to zero and (b) the total amount of the reductions pursuant
to clause (a) above in the amount to be allocated to the Maturing
Component or Components shall be allocated among the remaining Eligible
Components in such Sub-Pool on a PRO RATA basis in proportion to the
respective outstanding Component Balances thereof prior to the
allocation thereto of any of the amounts described in the preceding
sentence.
(c)(i) If on any Distribution Date (x) clause (a) or clause
(b) of the definition of "Class A Prepayment Percentage" is in effect and (y)
the allocation to the related Class A Certificates of full and partial principal
prepayments and other amounts at the Class A Prepayment Percentage would reduce
the aggregate outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Class A
Certificates to zero, any amounts (a "Prepayment Diversion Amount") in excess of
the Certificate Principal Balances of such Class A Certificates shall be
diverted to pay the non-related Class A Certificates in the other Sub-Pool until
the Certificate Principal of the non-related Class A Certificates are reduced to
zero.
(ii) Notwithstanding the allocations described in Section
4.01(b)(iii) above, if for any Distribution Date with respect to either Sub-Pool
the amounts distributable pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(iii) would reduce the most
subordinate Eligible Component in such Sub-Pool to zero, any amount (a
"Prepayment Diversion Amount") in excess of the Component Balances of such
Eligible Components shall be diverted to pay the Components in the other
Sub-Pool relating to the same Certificates (the "Related Eligible Components")
in the same manner as the Eligible
-98-
Components are paid in Section 4.01(b)(iii) until the Component Balances thereof
shall be reduced to zero prior to paying any Components of more Subordinate
Certificates.
(d) All distributions made with respect to each Class of
Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated PRO RATA among the
outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage
Interests. Payments in respect of each Class of Certificates on each
Distribution Date will be made to the Holders of the respective Class of record
on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(f) or
Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the
aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates, and
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of
any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least
five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such
Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Certificates having an initial
aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount that is in excess of
the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) two-thirds of the initial Certificate
Principal Balance or Notional Amount of such Class of Certificates, or otherwise
by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such Holder appearing in
the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be
made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate
at the Corporate Trust Office or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate
shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be
responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its
Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall have any
responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or
applicable law.
(e) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive
distributions in respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the
Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this
Agreement. Neither the Holders of any Class of Certificates nor the Trustee nor
the Master Servicer shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of
any other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously
distributed on the Certificates.
(f) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the
Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of
Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no
later than five days after the related Determination Date, mail on such date to
each Holder of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:
(i) the Trustee expects that the final distribution
with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on
such Distribution Date, but only upon
-99-
presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office
of the Trustee therein specified, and
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from
and after the end of the related Interest Accrual Period.
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class
on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to
tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by
the Trustee and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder
or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to
this Section 4.01(f) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with
respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee
shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates and
shall continue to hold any remaining funds for the benefit of non-tendering
Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and
of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining
in such trust fund. If within one year after the final notice any such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall
pay to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Inc. all such amounts, and all rights of
non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No
interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held
in trust by the Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to
surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this
Section 4.01(f).
SECTION 4.02. Statements to Certificateholders.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall prepare and

Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each
calendar year, the Trustee shall furnish to each Person who at any time during
the calendar year was a Holder of a Regular Certificate a statement containing
the information set forth in subclauses (i) through (iii) above, aggregated for

Report with respect to the related Distribution Date. Such Remittance Report
will include (i) the amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer in
respect of the related Distribution Date, the aggregate amount of P&I Advances
outstanding after giving effect to such P&I Advances, and the aggregate amount
of Nonrecoverable P&I Advances in respect of such Distribution Date and (ii)
such other
-103-

in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, over the net income from such REO
Property transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.23 for
distribution on such Distribution Date.
On or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer
Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds

aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its
own funds or (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held
therein for future distribution (in which case, it will cause to be made an
appropriate entry in the records of Collection Account that amounts held for
future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the
Master Servicer in discharge of any such P&I Advance) or (iii) in the form of
any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to
be made by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be
appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer's records and replaced by the
Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future
Master Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Distribution
Amount for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to P&I
Advances to be made on the Master Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than
the total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for
future distributions had not been so used to make P&I Advances. The Trustee will
provide notice to the Master Servicer by telecopy by the close of business on
the Business Day following any Master Servicer Remittance Date in the event that
the amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee on such Master
Servicer Remittance Date is less than the P&I Advances required to be made by
the Master Servicer for the related Distribution Date.
(c) The obligation of the Master Servicer to make such P&I
Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but
subject to (d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property,
shall continue until a Final Recovery
-104-
Determination in connection therewith or the removal thereof from REMIC I
pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except as otherwise
provided in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I
Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Master Servicer if such
P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. The
determination by the Master Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I
Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate of
the Master Servicer delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee.
SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses
and Realized Losses.
(a) Prior to each Determination Date, the Master Servicer
shall determine as to each Mortgage Loan and REO Property: (i) the total amount
of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Final Recovery
Determinations made during the related Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the
extent to which such Realized Losses constituted Fraud Losses or Special Hazard
Losses; and (iii) the respective portions of such Realized Losses allocable to
interest and allocable to principal. Prior to each Determination Date, the
Master Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (A) the total
amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient
Valuations made during the related Prepayment Period; and (B) the total amount
of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions
in respect of Monthly Payments due during the related Due Period. The
information described in the two preceding sentences that is to be supplied by
the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to
the Trustee by the Master Servicer prior to the Determination Date immediately
following the end of (x) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest,
the Due Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred, and (y) in the
case of all other Realized Losses, the Prepayment Period during which any such
Realized Loss was incurred.
(b) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans (other than
Excess Losses) in Sub-Pool 1 shall be allocated by the Trustee on each
Distribution Date as follows: first, to Component B-6PO-1; second, to Component
B-6PO-2; third, to Component B-5-1; fourth, to Component B-5-2; fifth, to
Component B-4-1; sixth, to Component B-4-2; seventh, to Component B-3-1; eighth,
to Component B-3-2; ninth, to Component B-2-1; tenth, to Component B-2-2;
eleventh, to Component B-1-1; and twelfth, to Component B-1-2, in each case
until the Component Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. All Realized
Losses on the Mortgage Loans (other than Excess Losses) in Sub-Pool 2 shall be
allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date as follows: first, to
Component B-6PO-2; second, to Component B-6PO-1; third, to Component B-5-2;
fourth, to Component B-5-1; fifth, to Component B-4-2; sixth, to Component
B-4-1; seventh, to Component B-3-2; eighth, to Component B-3-1; ninth, to
Component B-2-2; tenth, to Component B-2-1; eleventh, to Component B-1-2; and
twelfth, to Component B-1-1, in each case until the Component Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero. Thereafter, upon the reduction of the Certificate
Principal Balances of the Subordinate Certificates to zero, all Realized
-105-
Losses shall be allocated among the Senior Certificates as follows: the related
Class PO Percentage of such Realized Losses shall be allocated to the Class PO
Certificates and the related Non-Class PO Percentage of such Realized Losses
shall be allocated to the related Class A Certificates in the related Sub-Pool;
provided, however, that all such Realized Losses otherwise allocable to the
Super Senior Certificates will be allocated to the Senior Support Lockout
Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of Senior Support Lockout
Certificates is reduced to zero.
Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses shall be allocated by the Trustee on
each Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Class B-6PO Certificates;
second, to the Class B-5 Certificates; third, to the Class B-4 Certificates;
fourth, to the Class B-3 Certificates; fifth, to the Class B-2 Certificates; and
sixth, to the Class B-1 Certificates, in each case until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. Thereafter, upon the
reduction of the Certificate Principal Balances of the Subordinate Certificates
to zero, such Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses shall be allocated among the
Senior Certificates (other than the Class IO Certificates) on a PRO RATA basis;
provided, however, that all such Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses otherwise
allocable to the Super Senior Certificates will be allocated to the Senior
Support Lockout Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of Senior
Support Lockout Certificates is reduced to zero.
Any Excess Losses attributable to any Mortgage Loan shall be allocated
among all the Certificates (other than the Class IO Certificates) as follows:
the related Class PO Percentage of such Realized Losses shall be allocated to
the Class PO Certificates and the related Non-Class PO Percentage of such
Realized Losses in a Sub-Pool shall be allocated among the related Class A
Certificates and the related Components on a PRO RATA basis. Any allocation of a
Realized Loss to a Certificate or Component will be made by reducing the
Certificate Principal Balance or Component Balance thereof by the amount so
allocated as of the Distribution Date in the month following the calendar month
in which such Realized Loss was incurred.
As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss or
Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense on a "PRO RATA basis" among two or more
specified Classes of Certificates or Components means an allocation on a PRO
RATA basis, among the various Classes or Component so specified, to each such
Class of Certificates or Component on the basis of their then outstanding
Certificate Principal Balances or Component Balances, as applicable, prior to
giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date. All
Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates
hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion
to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no
event shall the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class A Certificate be
reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount both (i) allocable to
such Certificate in respect of Realized Losses or Extraordinary Trust Fund
Expenses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (ii) payable to the Holder of such
Certificate pursuant to Section 4.01(a) as a portion of the related Class A
Principal Distribution Amount.
SECTION 4.05. Compliance with Withholding Requirements.
-106-
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting
payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the
Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the
Trustee does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount
payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate the amount withheld to such
Certificateholders.
SECTION 4.06. Distributions on the REMIC I Regular Interests.
(a) On the first Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to the
holders of the Class R-I Certificates an amount equal to the Interest
Distribution Amount thereof and the entire Certificate Principal Balance thereof
from cash amounts deposited by the Depositor with the Trustee on the Closing
Date.
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be deemed to
distribute to itself, as the holder of the REMIC I Regular Interests, the
Uncertificated Interest and the Uncertificated Principal Distribution Amount in
the following order of priority to the extent of the Available Distribution
Amount;
(i) Uncertificated Interest on the REMIC I Regular Interests for
such Distribution Date, plus any Uncertificated Interest thereon
remaining unpaid from any previous Distribution Date; and
(ii) the Uncertificated Principal Distribution Amount for such
Distribution Date.
(b) Realized Losses allocated to the Certificates (other than the Class
PO and the Class B-6PO Certificates) under Section 4.04 shall be deemed
allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest LT1. Realized Losses allocated to the
Class B-6PO Certificates under Section 4.04 shall be deemed allocated to REMIC I
Regular Interest LT2. Realized Losses allocated to the Class PO under Section
4.04 shall be deemed allocated to REMIC I Regular Interest LTPO.
(c) Notwithstanding the deemed distributions on the REMIC I Regular
Interests described in this Section 4.06, distributions of funds from the
Collection Account shall be made only in accordance with Section 4.01.
SECTION 4.07. Commission Reporting.
Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall
file with the Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System,
a Form 8-K with a copy of the statement to Certificateholders for such
Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to January 30, 2000, the Trustee
shall file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust Fund, if
applicable. Prior to March 30, 2000, the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in
-107-
substance conforming to industry standards, with respect to the Trust Fund. The
Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of attorney to execute
and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor. Such power of attorney
shall continue until the earlier of (i) receipt by the Trustee from the
Depositor of written termination of such power of attorney and (ii) the
termination of the Trust Fund. At least three Business Days prior to filing any
Form 8-K or Form 10-K pursuant to this Section 4.07, the Trustee shall deliver a
copy of such Form 8-K or Form 10- K, as the case may be, to the Depositor. The
Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Trustee, from time to time upon
request, such further information, reports and financial statements within its
control related to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee
reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the
Commission.

ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the
entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets
included in REMIC I. At the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance of the Certificates will equal the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans.
The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed
hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-18. The Certificates of each Class will be
issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage
Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share
ratably in all rights of the related Class.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed and
delivered by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall cause the Certificates to be
authenticated by the Certificate Registrar to or upon the order of the
Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or
facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized signatory.
Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were
at any time the proper officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not
hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be
entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless
there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially
in the form provided herein executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual
signature, and such certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their
authentication.
(b) The Class A Certificates, the Class B-1 Certificates, the
Class B-2 Certificates and the Class B-3 Certificates shall initially be issued
as one or more Certificates held by the Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to
hold such Certificates as provided below, the Depository and registered in the
name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below,
registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except
to another Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective
Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners
shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates
through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided
below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates
("Definitive Certificates") in respect of such Ownership Interests. All
transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the
Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures
established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such
-109-
Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership
Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or
of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the
Depository's normal procedures. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the
Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and
in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing it
to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and if it is no longer qualified
to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument
delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee (if the Trustee is
not the Book-Entry Custodian) and any other transfer agent (including the
Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under
such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or
any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry
Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by
reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository. If the Trustee
resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor trustee
or, if it so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its
predecessor's duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right
to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry
Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor may for all
purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates)
deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of
exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the
Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate
Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as
Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter
shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different
Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in
connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders
and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.
If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that
the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee in
writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository
or (iii) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, Certificate
Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Ownership
Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trustee through the
Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a book-entry system through the
Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the
Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates
to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the
Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as
applicable, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for
registration of transfer, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates.
Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $10,000,
except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry
Certificate in an amount less than $10,000 immediately prior to the
-110-
issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination
equal to the amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in
the delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by
the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive
Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
SECTION 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices
or agencies to be appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for
the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates
as herein provided. The Trustee will initially serve as Certificate Registrar
for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as herein provided. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a
written instrument delivered to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, any other
bank or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar under such conditions as
the predecessor Certificate Registrar may prescribe, provided that the
predecessor Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or
responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment. If the Trustee shall
at any time not be the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee shall have and
maintain the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain a copy
thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a certificate of
the Certificate Registrar as to the information set forth in the Certificate
Register.
(b) No transfer of any Class B-4 Certificate, Class B-5
Certificate or Class B-6 Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective registration or
qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a
transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the
event that such a transfer of a Class B-4 Certificate, Class B-5 Certificate or
Class B-6 Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification (other
than in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the
Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor), the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar shall each require, receipt of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly
being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications
from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and from such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee, substantially in the forms attached
hereto as Exhibit F- 1; and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to it 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, the Master Servicer, in its capacity as such, or the
Trust Fund), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is
based, if any. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee
is obligated to register or qualify the Class B-4 Certificates, Class B-5
Certificates or Class B-6
-111-
Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities laws or to take any
action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of
such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder
desiring to effect the transfer of a Class B-4 Certificate, Class B-5
Certificate or Class B-6 Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify
the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar 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.
(c) No transfer of a Senior Support Lockout Certificate, a
Subordinate Certificate or a Residual Certificate or any interest therein shall
be made to any Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person
acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person
acquiring such Certificates with "Plan Assets" of a Plan within the meaning of
the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101
("Plan Assets") unless the Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer are
provided with an Opinion of Counsel which establishes to the satisfaction of the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Master Servicer that the purchase of such
Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result
in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will
not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund to
any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund. In lieu of such Opinion of Counsel, any
prospective Transferee of such Certificates may provide a certification (which
in the case of the Senior Support Lockout Certificates, the Class B-1
Certificates, the Class B-2 Certificates and the Class B-3 Certificates, the
Transferee will be deemed to have represented such certification) in the form of
Exhibit G to this Agreement (or other form acceptable to the Depositor, the
Trustee and the Master Servicer), which the Trustee may rely upon without
further inquiry or investigation. An Opinion of Counsel, any certification or a
deemed representation will not be required in connection with the initial
transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any affiliate thereof shall have
deemed to have represented that such affiliate is not a Plan or a Person
investing Plan Assets) and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely
upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a
written representation) from the Depositor of the status of such transferee as
an affiliate of the Depositor.
(d) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or
acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the
following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee or its
designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than
such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause
(iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other
things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject
to the following provisions:
-112-
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be
a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the
Trustee of any change or impending change in its
status as a Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer
of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate,
the Trustee shall require delivery to it and shall
not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate
until its receipt of an affidavit and agreement (a
"Transfer Affidavit and Agreement"), in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F-2, 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 Residual Certificate that is the
subject of the proposed Transfer 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 Residual Certificate, it
will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and
that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section
5.02(d) and agrees to be bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a
Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed
Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee who is assigned to this
transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer
of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to
such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Residual 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
Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer its
Ownership Interest unless it provides a transferor
affidavit (a "Transferor Affidavit"), in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F-2, to the Trustee
stating that, among other things, it has no actual
knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, by
purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate,
agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is
a "pass-through interest holder" within the meaning
of temporary Treasury regulation Section
1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it
is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate on behalf of, a "pass-through interest
holder."
-113-
(ii) The Trustee will register the Transfer of any
Residual 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 Residual 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 a Permitted Transferee.
(iii) (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a
Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the
provisions of this Section 5.02(d), then the last preceding
Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent
permitted by law, to all rights as holder thereof retroactive
to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Residual
Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any
Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
5.02(d) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to
the holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect
to such holder under the provisions of this Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become
a holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the
restrictions in this Section 5.02(d) and to the extent that
the retroactive restoration of the rights of the holder of
such Residual Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A)
above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the
Trustee shall have the right, without notice to the holder or
any prior holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such
Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor
on such terms as the Depositor may choose. Such purported
Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual
Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the
Trustee. Such purchaser may be the Trustee itself or any
Affiliate of the Trustee. The proceeds of such sale, net of
the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the
Trustee or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any,
will be remitted by the Trustee to such purported Transferee.
The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause
(iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the
Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be liable to any Person
having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a
result of its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The Trustee shall make available to the Internal
Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC
Provisions all information necessary to compute any tax
imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a
Disqualified Organization, including the information described
in Treasury regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and
1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the "excess inclusions" of such
Residual Certificate 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
-114-
Residual Certificate having as among its record holders at any
time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization.
Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be
accepted by the Trustee.
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth
prior to this subsection (v) may be modified, added to or
eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to
the Trustee at the expense of the party seeking to modify, add
to or eliminate any such provision the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating
Agency to the effect that the modification, addition
to or elimination of such provisions will not cause
such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current
ratings of any Class of Certificates; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect
that such modification of, addition to or elimination
of such provisions will not cause either REMIC I or
REMIC II to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not
cause (x) either REMIC I or REMIC II, as the case may
be, to be subject to an entity-level tax caused by
the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee or (y) a Person
other than the prospective transferee to be subject
to a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual
Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the
Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trustee shall
execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates
of the same Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.
(f) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may
be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized
denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such
Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained
for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange the Trustee shall execute and cause the Certificate
Registrar to authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate
presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the
Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(g) No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made
for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
-115-
tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer
or exchange of Certificates.
(h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange
shall be canceled and destroyed by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with
its customary procedures.
(i) The Trustee will cause the Certificate Registrar (unless
the Trustee is acting as Certificate Registrar) to provide notice to the Trustee
of each transfer of a Certificate and to provide the Trustee with an updated
copy of the Certificate Register on the first Business Day in
January and June of each year, commencing June 1999.
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee
or the Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of
the same Class and of like denomination and Percentage Interest. Upon the
issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees
and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as
if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.
SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose
name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the
purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other
purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar or any agent of any of them shall be affected
by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05. Certain Available Information.
On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Class B-4
Certificate, Class B-5 Certificate or Class B-6 Certificate to an Independent
third party, the Depositor shall provide to the Trustee ten copies of any
private placement memorandum or other disclosure document used by the Depositor
in connection with the offer and sale of the Class B-4 Certificates, Class B-5
Certificates or Class B-6 Certificates. In addition, if any such private
placement memorandum or disclosure document is revised, amended or supplemented
at any time following the delivery
-116-
thereof to the Trustee, the Depositor promptly shall inform the Trustee of such
event and shall deliver to the Trustee ten copies of the private placement
memorandum or disclosure document, as revised, amended or supplemented. The
Trustee shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office and shall make available
free of charge during normal business hours for review by any Holder of a
Certificate or any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee
of a Certificate, originals or copies of the following items: (i) in the case of
a Holder or prospective transferee of a Class B-4 Certificate, Class B-5
Certificate or Class B-6 Certificate, the private placement memorandum or other
disclosure document relating to such Certificates in the form most recently
provided to the Trustee; and (ii) in all cases, (A) this Agreement and any
amendments hereof entered into pursuant to Section 11.01, (B) all monthly

Certificates delivered to the Trustee by the Master Servicer since the Closing
Date pursuant to Section 4.04(a). Copies and mailing of any and all of the
foregoing items will be available from the Trustee upon request at the expense
of the person requesting the same.

ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 6.01. Liability of the Depositor and the Master
Servicer.
The Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
by this Agreement and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Master
Servicer herein.
SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the
Master Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in
full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph,
the Master Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation and its qualification as an approved conventional seller/servicer
for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac in good standing. The Depositor and the Master
Servicer each will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall
be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the
Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties
under this Agreement.
The Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or
consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of
its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or
any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer,
shall be the successor of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may
be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to
the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac; and provided further that the Rating Agencies'
ratings of the Senior Certificates in effect immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof
(as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies).
SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and Others.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Master Servicer
shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however,
-118-
that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any
such person against any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made
herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Master Servicer
pursuant hereto, or 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 which, PRIMA FACIE, is 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 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 any
loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor the
Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under
this Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor and the Master Servicer
may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or
desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such
event, unless the Depositor or the Master Servicer acts without the consent of
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights (which
consent shall not be necessary in the case of litigation or other legal action
by either to enforce their respective rights or defend themselves hereunder),
the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or
by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be
expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor (subject to
the limitations set forth above) and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and to the extent provided in
Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account.
SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of the Master
Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that its duties
hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the
written consent of the Trustee, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld,
and written confirmation from each Rating Agency (which confirmation shall be
furnished to the Depositor and the Trustee) that such resignation will not cause
such Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating of the Class A
Certificates. Any such determination pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding
sentence permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by
an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Master
Servicer and delivered to the Trustee. No resignation of the Master Servicer
shall
-119-
become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed
the Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those
liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations
under this Agreement.
Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall
not assign nor transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to
any other Person, nor delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint
any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by the Master Servicer hereunder. If, pursuant to any provision
hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master
servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable
to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such
successor master servicer.
SECTION 6.05. Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Master
Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing
Agreement shall provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor and
the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all
records maintained by the Master Servicer (and any such
Sub-
Servicer) in respect of the Master Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder
and access to officers of the Master Servicer (and those of any such
Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Master
Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor and the Trustee its (and any such
Sub-Servicer's) most recent financial statements and such other information
relating to the Master Servicer's capacity to perform its obligations under this
Agreement that it possesses. To the extent such information is not otherwise
available to the public, the Depositor and the Trustee shall not disseminate any
information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences without the Master
Servicer's written consent, except as required pursuant to this Agreement or to
the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) in working with legal counsel,
auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, rating agencies or
reinsurers or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ,
injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction
over the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in either case, the
Depositor or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall use its best efforts to
assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. The
Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or
cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its
obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor
or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability
for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and is not obligated to
supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or
otherwise.

DEFAULT
SECTION 7.01. Master Servicer Events of Default.
"Master Servicer Event of Default," wherever used herein,
means any one of the following events:
(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the
Trustee for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment
(other than a P&I Advance required to be made from its own
funds on any Master Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to
Section 4.03) required to be made under the terms of the
Certificates and this Agreement which continues unremedied for
a period of one Business Day after the date upon which written
notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied,
shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor
or the Trustee (in which case notice shall be provided by
telecopy), or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the
Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
25% of the Voting Rights; or
(ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly
to observe or perform in any material respect any of the
covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer
contained in the Certificates or in this Agreement (or, if the
Master Servicer is an Originator, the failure of the
Originator to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as to which a breach
has been established that requires a repurchase pursuant to
the terms of Section 7 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement) which continues unremedied for a period of 45 days
after the earlier of (i) the date on which written notice of
such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the
Trustee, or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the
Trustee by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
25% of the Voting Rights and (ii) actual knowledge of such
failure by a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or
supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in
an involuntary case under any present or future federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment
of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or liquidation of
its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master
Servicer and if such proceeding is being contested by the
Master Servicer in good faith such decree or order shall have
remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60
days or results in the entry of an order for relief or any
such adjudication or appointment; or
-121-
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the
appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the
Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all
of its property; or
(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file
a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or
reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of
its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its
obligations; or
(vi) any failure of the Master Servicer to make any P&I
Advance on any Master Servicer Remittance Date required to be
made from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.03 which
continues unremedied until 3:00 p.m. New York time on the
second Business Day immediately following the Master Servicer
Remittance Date.
If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (v) of
this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such
Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or
the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the Trustee or
to the Trustee if given by the Depositor), terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as a Master Servicer under
this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans
and the proceeds thereof. If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in
clause (vi) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the
Master Servicer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations
of the Master Servicer in its capacity as a Master Servicer under this Agreement
and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the
receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power
of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans
or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under
this Section and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and
empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver on behalf of
and at the expense of the Master Servicer, any and all documents and other
instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees, at its sole cost
and expense, promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days
subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and records
requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer's functions under
this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination
of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the transfer within one Business Day to the
Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time shall be
or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account
held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer, the Distribution Account or any REO
Account or Servicing Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or
thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO
-122-
Property serviced by the Master Servicer (provided, however, that the Master
Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing
to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether
in respect of P&I Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to
the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect
to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section
7.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer
Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and
working in the Trustee's Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or
unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer Event
of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the
Certificates, REMIC I or this Agreement.
SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a
notice of termination, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the
Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall not have the right to withdraw any funds from the
Collection Account without the consent of the Trustee and the transactions set
forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the
Master Servicer (except for any representations or warranties of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
contained in Section 2.03(c) and its obligation to deposit amounts in respect of
losses pursuant to Section 3.12) by the terms and provisions hereof including,
without limitation, the Master Servicer's obligations to make P&I Advances
pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however, that if the Trustee is prohibited
by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances regarding
delinquent mortgage loans, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to make P&I
Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; and provided further, that any failure to
perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's failure
to provide information required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a
default by the Trustee as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder. As
compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Servicing Fees and
all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Master Servicer would have
been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder (other than amounts which
were due or would become due to the Master Servicer prior to its termination or
resignation). Notwithstanding the above and subject to the next paragraph, the
Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so
act or if it is prohibited by law from making advances regarding delinquent
mortgage loans, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of
the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint or
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage
loan servicing institution acceptable to each Rating Agency and having a net
worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer under
this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities,
duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer under this Agreement. No
appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement shall be
effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection with such
appointment and assumption described herein, 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,
-123-
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the
Master Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor
shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as
hereinabove provided.
Upon removal or resignation of the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, with the cooperation of the Depositor, (x) shall solicit bids for a
successor Master Servicer as described below and (y) pending the appointment of
a successor Master Servicer as a result of soliciting such bids, shall serve as
Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans serviced by such predecessor 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 (including the Trustee or any affiliate
thereof). Such public announcement shall specify that the successor Master
Servicer shall be entitled to the servicing compensation agreed upon between the
Trustee, the successor Master Servicer and the Depositor; provided, however,
that no such fee shall exceed the related Servicing Fee. Within thirty days
after any such public announcement, the Trustee, with the cooperation of the
Depositor, shall negotiate in good faith and effect the sale, transfer and
assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder to the
qualified party submitting the highest satisfactory bid as to the price they
will pay to obtain such servicing. The Trustee upon receipt of the purchase
price shall pay such purchase price to the Master Servicer being so removed,
after deducting 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 reasonably incurred hereunder. After
such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Trustee to the
Master Servicer at the time of such sale.
(b) If the Master Servicer fails to remit to the Trustee for
distribution to the Certificateholders any payment required to be made under the
terms of the Certificates and this Agreement (for purposes of this Section
7.02(b), a "Remittance") because the Master Servicer is the subject of a
proceeding under the federal Bankruptcy Code and the making of such Remittance
is prohibited by Section 362 of the federal Bankruptcy Code, the Trustee shall
upon notice of such prohibition, regardless of whether it has received a notice
of termination under Section 7.01, advance the amount of such Remittance by
depositing such amount in the Distribution Account on the related Distribution
Date. The Trustee shall be obligated to make such advance only if (i) such
advance, in the good faith judgment of the Trustee, can reasonably be expected
to be ultimately recoverable from Stayed Funds and (ii) the Trustee is not
prohibited by law from making such advance or obligating itself to do so. Upon
remittance of the Stayed Funds to the Trustee or the deposit thereof in the
Distribution Account by the Master Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy or a
federal bankruptcy court, the Trustee may recover the amount so advanced, with
interest, if such interest is allowed as an Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense, at
the then prevailing Federal Funds Rate, by withdrawing such amount from the
Distribution Account; however, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
affect the Trustee's rights to recover from the Master Servicer's own funds
interest on the amount of any such advance. If the Trustee at any time makes an
advance under this Subsection which it later determines in its good faith
judgment will not be
-124-
ultimately recoverable from the Stayed Funds with respect to which such advance
was made, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimburse itself for such advance,
without interest, by withdrawing from the Distribution Account, out of amounts
on deposit therein, an amount equal to the portion
of such advance attributable to the Stayed Funds.
SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.01 above or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02 above, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses
appearing in the Certificate Register.
(b) Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence
of any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute a Master Servicer Event of Default or five days after a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an
event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice
of each such occurrence, unless such default or Master Servicer Event of Default
shall have been cured or waived.
SECTION 7.04. Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default.
Subject to Section 11.09(d), the Holders representing at least
66% of the Voting Rights evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected by
any default or Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder may waive such default
or Master Servicer Event of Default; provided, however, that a default or Master
Servicer Event of Default under clause (i) or (vi) of Section 7.01 may be waived
only by all of the Holders of the Regular Certificates. Upon any such waiver of
a default or Master Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master Servicer
Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied
for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other default or Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
-125-
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer
Event of Default and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of Default
which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties
as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. During a Master Servicer Event
of Default, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of such person's own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee
enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found
not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the
Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument
corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee's satisfaction,
the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve
the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event
of Default, and after the curing of all such Master Servicer
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 that conform to the requirements of
this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any
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;
-126-
(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
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting
Rights relating to the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee,
under this Agreement; and
(iv) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or
be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written
notice thereof or a Responsible Officer shall have actual
knowledge thereof. In the absence of receipt of such notice or
actual knowledge, the Trustee may conclusively assume there is
no default.
SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or
any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other
paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties;
(ii) 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 with
such Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this
Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation
hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or
direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders
shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity 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 a Master Servicer Event of Default (which
has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights
and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of such person's own affairs;
-127-
(iv) 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;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event
of Default hereunder and after the curing of all Master
Servicer 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 Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights;
provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities
likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by such Certificateholders,
the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such
cost, expense, or liability from such Certificateholders as a
condition to taking any such action;
(vi) 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;
(vii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any
loss resulting from the investment of funds held in the
Collection Account at the direction of the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.12; and
(viii) Any request or direction of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or the Certificateholders mentioned herein
shall be sufficiently evidenced in writing.
(b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of
the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by it without the
possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or
other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all
the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage
Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other
than the signature of the Trustee, the authentication of the Certificate
Registrar on the Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained in
Article II and the representations and warranties of the Trustee in Section
8.12) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor 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 (other than as
specifically set forth in Section 8.12) or of the Certificates (other than the
signature of the Trustee and authentication of the Certificate Registrar on the
Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document. The Trustee shall not
be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the
Certificates or of the
-128-
proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid
to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or
deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Master Servicer,
other than any funds held by or on behalf of the
Trustee in accordance with Section 3.10.
SECTION 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual capacity or any other capacity
may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee.
SECTION 8.05. Trustee's Expenses.
(a) The Trustee, any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Trustee, shall be indemnified by REMIC I and held harmless against any loss,
liability or expense (not including expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee, including the compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee's
performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the
Trustee in connection with any claim or legal action or any pending or
threatened claim or legal action arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of its obligations and duties under this Agreement,
other than any loss, liability or expense (i) resulting from the Master
Servicer's actions or omissions in connection with this Agreement and the
Mortgage Loans, (ii) that constitutes a specific liability of the Trustee
pursuant to Section 10.01(c) or (iii) any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of

or agent of the Trustee, in respect of the indemnification provided by this
paragraph (a), or pursuant to any other right of reimbursement from the Trust
Fund that the Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Trustee, may have hereunder in its capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the
Trustee from the Distribution Account at any time.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee from,
and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense resulting from a
breach of the Master Servicer's obligations and duties under this Agreement.
Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement and
the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Any payment hereunder made by the
Master Servicer to the Trustee shall be from the Master Servicer's own funds,
without reimbursement from the Trust Fund therefor.
(c) The indemnity provisions of this Section 8.05 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
-129-
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or
an association (other than the Depositor, the Originator, the Seller, the Master
Servicer or any Affiliate of the foregoing) organized and doing business under
the laws of any state or the United States of America, authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or
state authority. If such corporation or association publishes reports of
conditions 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 or association
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of conditions so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 8.07.
SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the
trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee 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 and the Master Servicer by the Depositor. If
no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor, 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, then the
Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee 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 and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee
by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered to the Depositor, 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 and the Master Servicer by the
Depositor.
-130-
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not
become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.
SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor
trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and
such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee
herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all
Mortgage Files and related documents and statements, as well as all moneys, held
by it hereunder and the Depositor and the predecessor trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required
for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all
such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in
this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such
successor trustee shall not result in a downgrading of any Class of Certificates
by either Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as
provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of
such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as
shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice
within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the
successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Depositor.
SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or
association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation or association shall be eligible under the provisions
of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of REMIC I or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly
-131-
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 REMIC I, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity,
such title to REMIC I, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions
of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the
Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after
the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in case a Master Servicer Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the
power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the
appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under
Section 8.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate
trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (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
REMIC I 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. No co-trustee (other than the Trustee) shall be held personally liable
by reason of any act or omission of any other co-trustee hereunder.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trust conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions
of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement
relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection
to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time,
constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee
or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.
-132-
SECTION 8.11. [intentionally omitted]
SECTION 8.12. Appointment of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will appoint an office or agency in the City of
New York where the Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange, and presented for final distribution, and where notices and demands
to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates
and this Agreement may be served.
SECTION 8.13. Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.
The Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Master
Servicer and the Depositor, as of the Closing Date, that:
(i) The Trustee is a New York banking corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of New York.
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Trustee, and the performance and compliance with the terms of this
Agreement by the Trustee, will not violate the Trustee's charter or
bylaws or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse
of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the
breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a
party or which is applicable to it or any of its assets.
(iii) The Trustee has the full power and authority to enter
into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.
(iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by the Master Servicer and the Depositor, constitutes a valid,
legal and binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable against the
Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium and
other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally,
and (B) general principles of equity, regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(v) The Trustee is not in violation of, and its execution and
delivery of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the
terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law,
any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation
or demand of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory
authority, which violation, in the Trustee's good faith and reasonable
judgment, is likely to affect materially and adversely either the
ability of the Trustee to perform its obligations under this Agreement
or the financial condition of the Trustee.
-133-
(vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Trustee's
knowledge, threatened against the Trustee which would prohibit the
Trustee from entering into this Agreement or, in the Trustee's good
faith reasonable judgment, is likely to materially and adversely affect
either the ability of the Trustee to perform its obligations under this
Agreement or the financial condition of the Trustee.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01 Termination Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of the
REMIC I Regular Interests.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the Trustee with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than the obligations of
the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.05 and of the Master
Servicer to provide for and the Trustee to make payments to the Holders of the
related Class(es) of REMIC II Certificates and Class R-I Certificates as
hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders
and the deposit of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required
hereunder to be so paid or deposited on the Distribution Date coinciding with or
following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by the Master Servicer of all
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final
payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I; provided, however, that in
no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21
years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. ▇▇▇▇▇,
living on the date hereof. The purchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a price (the
"Termination Price") equal to the greater of (A) the aggregate Purchase Price of
all the Mortgage Loans included in REMIC I, plus the appraised value of each REO
Property, if any, included in REMIC I, such appraisal to be conducted by an
appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Trustee in their
reasonable discretion and (B) the aggregate fair market value of all of the
assets in REMIC I (as determined by the Master Servicer, with the consent of the
Trustee, as of the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding
the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to
Certificateholders pursuant to the third paragraph of this Section 9.01).
(b) The Master Servicer shall have the right to purchase all
of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to
clause (i) of the preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in
the month immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates
will be retired; provided, however, that the Master Servicer, as provided above,
may elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining
in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) above only if the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund
at the time of such election is reduced to less than 10% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. For federal income
tax purposes, the purchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and all
REO Properties underlying the REMIC I Regular Interests is intended to
facilitate a redemption of such REMIC I Regular Interests pursuant to a "cleanup
call" within the meaning of Treasury regulation section 1.860G-2(j). The Master
Servicer must give notice to the Trustee no later than the Determination Date in
the month next preceding the
-135-
month of the purchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining in REMIC I.
(c) Notice of the liquidation of the REMIC I Regular Interests
shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed
(a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the Master
Servicer, not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the
month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates or
(b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the
Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution
Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate and final payment of the REMIC II
Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of the REMIC II
Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of
any such final payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of the
REMIC II Certificates from and after the Interest Accrual Period relating to the
final Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only
upon presentation and surrender of the REMIC II Certificates at the office of
the Trustee. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at
the time such notice is given to REMIC II Certificateholders. In the event such
notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and
each REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the Master Servicer, the Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account
not later than the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month in
which such distribution will be made an amount in immediately available funds
equal to the Termination Price. Upon certification to the Trustee by a Servicing
Officer of the making of such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release
or cause to be released to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files for the
remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments,
endorsements and other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer.
(d) Upon presentation of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute
to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the
amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with
Section 4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered. Any
funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates being retired on
such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to
tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by
the Trustee and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder
or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to
this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with
respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee
shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to remaining related
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The
costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such
Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in the trust funds.
If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the
-136-
Trustee shall pay to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Inc. all such amounts, and all rights
of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease.
No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount
held in trust by the Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to
surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this
Section 9.01.
Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder
in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests, the Trust Fund shall terminate.
SECTION 9.02 Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event that the Master Servicer purchases all the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property or the final payment on or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I
pursuant to Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with
the following additional requirements:
(i) The Trustee shall specify the first day in the
90-day liquidation period in a statement attached to REMIC I's
and REMIC II's final Tax Return pursuant to Treasury
regulation Section 1.860F-1, and such termination shall
satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under
Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel obtained at the expense of
the Master Servicer;
(ii) During such 90-day liquidation period, and at or
prior to the time of making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of
REMIC I to the Master Servicer 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
applicable Class of Residual Certificates all cash on hand in
each or REMIC I and REMIC II (other than cash retained to meet
claims), and the Trust Fund shall terminate at that time.
(b) At the expense of the Master Servicer (or in the event of
termination under Section 9.01(a)(ii), at the expense of the Trustee), the
Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared the documentation required in
connection with the adoption of a plan of liquidation of
each of REMIC I and REMIC II pursuant to this Section 9.02.
(c) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof
hereby agree to authorize the Trustee to specify the 90-day liquidation period
for each of REMIC I and REMIC II, which authorization shall be binding upon all
successor Certificateholders.

ARTICLE X
REMIC PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01. REMIC Administration.
(a) The Trustee shall elect to treat each of REMIC I and REMIC
II as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. Each
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
the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of REMIC I, REMIC I Regular
Interests shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC I and the Class
R-I Certificates shall be designated as the Residual Interests in REMIC I. Each
of the Classes and Components listed in the Preliminary Statement hereto shall
be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC II and the Class R-II
Certificates shall be designated as the Residual Interests in REMIC II. The
Trustee shall not permit the creation of any "interests" in REMIC I or REMIC II
(within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) other than the REMIC I Regular
Interests and the interests represented by the Certificates.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day"
of REMIC I and REMIC II within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The Trustee shall pay out of its own funds, without any
right of reimbursement, any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of the
Trust Fund (including, but not limited to, any professional fees or any
administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to either REMIC I or REMIC
II that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities), other
than the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of Counsel or any
litigation expenses except as specified herein. The Trustee, as agent for both
of REMIC I's and REMIC II's tax matters person, shall (i) act on behalf of the
Trust Fund in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving either REMIC I
or REMIC II 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 of
each Class of Residual Certificates shall be designated, in the manner provided
under Treasury regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations section
301.6231(a)(7)-I, as the tax matters person of the related REMIC created
hereunder. By their acceptance thereof, the holder of the largest Percentage
Interest of the Residual Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the
Trustee or an Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the duties of the tax
matters person for the Trust Fund.
(d) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file all of the Tax
Returns in respect of each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing
and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of
reimbursement therefor. The Master Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to
the Trustee or its designee such information with respect to the assets of the
Trust Fund as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to
enable it to perform its obligations under this Article.
-138-
(e) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of each of REMIC I and
REMIC II all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the
responsibility of the REMIC under the Code, the 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 Residual Certificate such information as is necessary for
the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to
any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Certificateholders
such information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions
including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market
discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption as required) and (iii) to
the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone number of
the person who will serve as the representative of REMIC I and REMIC II. The
Master Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to the Trustee such information
with respect to the assets of the Trust Fund, including, without limitation, the
Mortgage Loans, as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee
to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection. In addition, the
Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee, within ten (10)
days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Trustee reasonably
determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices
of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment
assumption and projected cash flow of the Certificates.
(f) The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause each
REMIC 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 REMIC I or REMIC II 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"); provided that the Trustee shall be fully
protected in taking or not taking action if it has received an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to take
such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that
the contemplated action will not, with respect to either REMIC I or REMIC II,
endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall the
Master Servicer 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 to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could
occur with respect to such action. In addition, prior to taking any action with
respect to REMIC I or REMIC II or the respective assets of each, or causing
REMIC I or REMIC II to take any action, which is not contemplated 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 either REMIC I or REMIC II, and the
Master Servicer shall not take any such action or cause either REMIC I or REMIC
II to take any such action as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing
that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee may consult with counsel to
make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be
-139-
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 both REMIC I and REMIC II will consist of "qualified mortgages" as
defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted investments" as defined
in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited
transactions" of either REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2)
of the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of such REMIC as
defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to either such
REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or
any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or
local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant to Section
10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee
of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a
breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or
this Article X, or otherwise (iii) against amounts on deposit in the
Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.
(h) On or before April 15 of each calendar year, commencing
April 15, 2000, 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 Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books and records with respect to each of REMIC I and REMIC II on a
calendar year and on an accrual basis.
(j) Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept
any contributions of assets to either REMIC I or REMIC II other than in
connection with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance
with Section 2.03 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause the
related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding or subject such REMIC 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 REMIC I or REMIC II will receive a fee or other
compensation for services nor permit either such REMIC to receive any income
from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the
Code.

None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or 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 REMIC I, (iii) the termination of
REMIC I pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant
to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Article II or III of this Agreement), nor acquire any assets for either REMIC I
or REMIC II (other than REO Property acquired in respect of a defaulted Mortgage
Loan), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the
Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to either REMIC I or
REMIC II after the Closing Date (other than a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
delivered in accordance with Section 2.03), unless it has received an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to cause
such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution but in no
event at the expense of the Trustee) that such sale, disposition, substitution,
acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of either
REMIC I or REMIC II as a REMIC or (b) cause either REMIC I or REMIC II 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 (collectively, "Losses") 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; provided,
however, the Trustee shall not have to so indemnify if the breach of the
Trustee's covenants were attributable to the action or inaction of the Master
Servicer, the Depositor or the Holders of the Residual Certificates, as
applicable, nor if such breach of the Trustee's covenants resulted from
misinformation provided by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Holder of
the Residual Certificates on which the Trustee has relied. The foregoing shall
not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Trust Fund,
the Depositor and the Master Servicer now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Trustee
have any liability (i) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance
with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly
permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (ii) for any Losses other than
arising out of a negligent performance by the Trustee of its covenants set forth
in this Article X and (3) for any special or consequential damages.
(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 Article III or this Article X.

interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto, and no
Opinion of Counsel shall be required to address the effect of any such amendment
on any such consenting Certificateholder.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the

respect to matters affecting such Certificates.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment will
not result in the imposition of any tax on either REMIC I or REMIC II pursuant
to the REMIC Provisions or cause either REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee
shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder.
-142-
It shall not be necessary for the consent of
Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of

expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation

understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with
every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the

SECTION 11.08. Article and Section References.

SECTION 11.09. Grant of Security Interest.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be
construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of
the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to secure a debt or other obligation of the
Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent
of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor,
then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties 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 and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be
deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York;
(2) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a
grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all
amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of

without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to
time held or invested in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account,
whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the
obligations secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the

provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the

property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding
such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable)
of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law. Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a
security interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in
clause (2) of the preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the
-146-
Trustee the performance by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause
(3) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto
intend the conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and
unconditional sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund
by the Depositor to the Trustee.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions and conditions
provided therein, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights
of the Holders of the Certificates under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders

transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As

4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any
such Plan or any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be
made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the
Trustee (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other
than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or
middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that
acknowledges that (A) the Class R-I Certificates have been designated as a
residual interest in a REMIC, (B) it will include in its income a PRO RATA share
of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an "excess
inclusion," as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those
relating to holding the Class R-I Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof,
shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the
Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of
the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person
other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust
Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the
REMIC. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, 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 none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar
nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the
Holders of the Certificates of
-6-
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 final payment (or any
advance with respect thereto) on or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in
the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust
Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such
Mortgage Loans remaining therein. The Agreement permits, but does not require,
the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all the
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan
remaining therein at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The
exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates;
however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the
aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to

Preliminary Statement
---------------------
The Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter
defined) to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in this Agreement. Certain of the Mortgage Loans, identified on Part A of the
Closing Schedule (as hereinafter defined) (the "Originator Mortgage Loans"),
were purchased by the Seller from the Originator pursuant to a certain Mortgage
Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, dated as of January 1, 1999 (the "Cendant
Purchase and Servicing Agreement"), between the Seller, as initial purchaser and
the Originator, as seller and servicer. Certain of the Mortgage Loans,
identified on Part B of the Closing Schedule (the "▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate's Mortgage
Loans"), were purchased by the Seller from ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate pursuant to a certain
Mortgage Loan Purchase and Servicing Agreement, dated as of January 1, 1999 (the

Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the "Purchase and Servicing Agreements"),
among the Seller as initial purchaser, the Originator as servicer, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇
Gate as seller. The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans into a
mortgage pool comprising the trust fund. The trust fund will be evidenced by a

(the "Certificates"). The Certificates will consist of eighteen classes of
certificates. The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 1999 (the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement"), among the Purchaser as depositor, The Chase Manhattan Bank as
trustee (the "Trustee") and the Originator as master servicer (in such capacity,
the "Master Servicer"). Capi talized terms used but not defined herein shall
have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE. The Seller agrees to sell,
and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, on or before February 25, 1999 (the
"Closing Date"), certain fixed-rate conventional residential mortgage loans (the

business on February 1, 1999 (the "Cut-off Date") of approximately

SECTION 2. MORTGAGE LOAN SCHEDULE. The Purchaser and the
Seller have agreed upon which of the mortgage loans owned by the Seller are to
be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the Seller will
prepare or cause to be prepared on or prior to the Closing Date a final schedule
(the "Closing Schedule") that together shall describe such Mortgage Loans and
set forth all of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this Agreement. The
Closing Schedule will conform to the requirements set forth in this Agreement
and to the definition of "Mortgage Loan

that all required documents have been executed and received and that such
documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
(d) TRANSFER OF INTEREST IN AGREEMENTS. The Purchaser
has the right to assign its interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part,
to the Trustee, as may be required to effect the purposes of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, without the consent of the Seller, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate or the
Originator, and the assignee shall succeed to the rights and obligations
hereunder of the Purchaser. Any expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf of

Purchaser for examination. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or the
Trustee, and their respective designees, upon reasonable notice to the Seller
during normal business hours before the Closing Date and within 60 days after
the Closing Date. If any such person makes such examination prior to the Closing
Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans that do not conform to the requirements
of the Purchaser as described in this Agreement, such Mortgage Loans shall be
deleted from the Closing Schedule. The Purchaser may, at its option and without
notice to the Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without
conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that the Purchaser or
any person has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete
examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser
or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser to demand repurchase or
other relief as provided herein or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

5.875% and 9.000% and the weighted average Mortgage Rate as of the Closing Date
for the Mortgage Loans is 7.001%;
(iii) All payments required to be made up to the close of
business on the Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the
Mortgage Note have been made; the Originator has not advanced funds, or induced,
solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the
owner of the related Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment
of any amount required by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; and there has been no
delinquency, exclusive of any period of grace, in any payment by the Mortgagor

been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written
instruments, recorded in the applicable public recording office if necessary to
maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have been delivered to the
Seller or its designee; the substance of any such waiver, alteration or
modification has been approved by the insurer under the Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required by the
related policy, and is reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No instrument of
waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and no Mortgagor has been
released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement
approved by the insurer under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, and
the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption
agreement has been delivered to the Purchaser or its designee and the terms of
which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(vi) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage
unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with
respect thereto;
-13-
(vii) All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an
insurer acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac against loss by fire, hazards of
extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the
Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the
requirements of Subsection 11.10 of the Cendant Purchase and Servicing
Agreement. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause
naming the Originator, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums
thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a
Flood Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has
been made available), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect, which
policy conforms to the requirements of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac. The Mortgage
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the
Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor's
cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;

(ix) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated
or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been
released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any
instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation,
subordination, rescission or release;
(x) The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first lien
on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property
subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments not
yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording
being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically
referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator
of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the Value of the
Mortgaged Property, and (c) other matters to which like properties are commonly
subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security
intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the
Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable first
lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein and
the Originator had full right to sell and assign the same to the Seller or its
designee, in the case of an Originator Mortgage Loan, or to ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate or its
designee in the case of a ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate Mortgage Loan. Substantially all of the
Mortgaged Properties were not, as of the date of origination of the related
Mortgage Loans, subject to mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt or
other security instruments creating liens subordinate to the liens of the
related Mortgages;

trust, the Mortgagor is a natural person;
(xiii) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed
to or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the
Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all requirements as
to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to disbursements of
any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses
incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the
Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any
amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(xiv) [intentionally omitted];
(xv) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage
Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the
period in which they held and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance
with any and all applicable "doing business" and licensing requirements of the
laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located;
(xvi) The Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title

qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is
located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (x)(a) and (b) above)
the Originator, its successors and assigns as to the first priority lien of the
Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. Additionally,
such lender's title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to
and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments by or upon the
Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Originator is the sole insured
of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance
policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect upon the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have
been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the
related Mortgage, including the Originator, has done, by act or omission,
anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance
policy;
(xvii) There is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace
or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration, and the Originator has not waived any default, breach, violation
or event of acceleration;
-15-
(xviii) There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which
have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that
under law could give rise to such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property
which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the
related Mortgage;
(xix) All improvements which were considered in determining the
Value of the related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and

than sixty (60) days after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The
Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Rate. With respect to each Mortgage
Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in Monthly
Payments which will fully amortize the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loan over its remaining term at the Mortgage Rate. The Mortgage Note does not
permit negative amortization;
(xxii) The origination and collection practices used by the
Originator with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all
respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage origination and
servicing industry. The Mortgage Loan has been serviced by the Originator and
any predecessor servicer in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Note. With
respect to escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in
the possession of, or under the control of, the Originator and there exist no
deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for
repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or
other charges or payments due the Originator have been capitalized under any
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note;
(xxiii) The Mortgaged Property is free of damage and waste and there
is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation thereof;
(xxiv) The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and
enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder
thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a
Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (b) otherwise by
judicial foreclosure. The Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any
bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed
for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other
exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to
sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the
Mortgage.

Mortgaged Property made and signed, prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan

the security thereof, whose compensation is not affected by the approval or
disapproval of the Mortgage Loan and who met the minimum qualifications of
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac;
(xxviii) In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a
trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly
designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or
expenses are or will become payable by the Seller or its designee to the trustee

in excess of 80% is and will be subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy,
issued by a Qualified Insurer, which insures as to payment defaults that portion

Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full
force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Except with
respect to any Mortgage Loan listed on Exhibit 6 attached hereto, any Mortgage

(i) A letter from Deloitte & Touche L.L.P.,

captions "The Mortgage Pool--Underwriting
Standards" and "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement--The Master Servicer", or for
inclusion in other offering material such
publicly available information regarding the
Originator, its financial condition and its
mortgage loan delinquency, foreclosure and
loss experience, underwriting standards,
lending activities and loan sales,
production, and servicing and collection
practices, and any similar nonpublic,
unaudited financial information;
(k) A letter from Deloitte & Touche L.L.P.,
certified public accountants, dated the date
hereof and to the effect that they have
performed certain specified procedures as a
result of which they determined that certain
information of an accounting, financial or
statistical nature set forth in the
Purchaser's Prospectus Supplement, dated
February 22, 1999 under the captions "Yield
on the Certificates" and "Description of the
Certificates" agrees with the records of the
Seller; and
(l) Such further information, certificates,
opinions and documents as the Purchaser or
the Underwriter may reasonably request.
SECTION 10. COSTS. The Originator shall pay (or shall
reimburse the Purchaser or any other Person to the extent that the Purchaser or
such other Person shall pay) all costs and
-24-
expenses incurred in connection with the transfer and delivery of the Mortgage
Loans, including without limitation, recording fees, fees for title policy
endorsements and continuations and the fees for recording Assignments of
Mortgage, the fees and expenses of the Originator's and/or ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate's
in-house accountants and in-house attorneys, the costs and expenses incurred in
connection with producing the Originator's loan loss, foreclosure and
delinquency experience, and the costs and expenses incurred in connection with
obtaining the documents referred to in Sections 9(d) through (g), (i) and (k).
The Seller shall pay (or shall reimburse the Purchaser or any other Person to
the extent that the Purchaser or such other Person shall pay) the costs and
expenses of printing (or otherwise reproducing) and delivering this Agreement,
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates, the prospectus,
prospectus supplement, and private placement memorandum relating to the
Certificates and other related documents, the initial fees, costs and expenses
of the Trustee, the fees and expenses of the Seller's counsel in connection with
the preparation of all documents relating to the securitization of the Mortgage
Loans, the filing fee charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission for
registration of the Certificates and the fees charged by any rating agency to
rate the Certificates. All other costs and expenses in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereunder shall be borne by the party incurring such
expense.
SECTION 11. SERVICING. The Seller has represented to the
Purchaser that the Mortgage Loans are being serviced under the related Purchase
and Servicing Agreement with the Originator, and it is understood and agreed by
and among the Seller, the Originator, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate and the Purchaser that the
interim servicing arrangements under the Purchase and Servicing Agreements with
the Originator will be superseded by the servicing arrangements set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 12. MANDATORY DELIVERY; GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.
The sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and agreed that each
Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of
money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses
and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Seller's failure to
deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date. The Seller hereby
grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in the
Seller's interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument
evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller of
its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage
Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser's (i) right, prior
to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted by this
Agreement, and (ii) obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the
consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Any Mortgage
Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be released from
the security interest created hereby. The Seller agrees that, upon acceptance of
the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser or its designee and delivery of payment to
the Seller, that its security interest in the Mortgage Loans shall be released.
All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from,
and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or
afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised
concurrently, independently or successively.
-25-
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of
the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof shall have been satisfied and the
Purchaser shall not have paid or caused to be paid the Purchase Price, or any
such condition shall not have been waived or satisfied and the Purchaser
determines not to pay or cause to be paid the Purchase Price, the Purchaser
shall immediately effect the redelivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to
the Purchaser has occurred and the security interest created by this Section 12
shall be deemed to have been released.
SECTION 13. NOTICES. All demands, notices and communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
personally delivered to or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, or
transmitted by telex or telegraph and confirmed by a similar mailed writing, if
to the Purchaser, addressed to the Purchaser at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Mortgage Finance Group, or such other address

writing to the Purchaser, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate and the Seller; if to ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate,
addressed to ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate at c/o Cendant Mortgage Corporation ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Attention: ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, or to such other
address as ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate may designate in writing to the Purchaser, the
Originator and the Seller.
SECTION 14. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Any part, provision,
representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is
held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which
is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.
SECTION 15. AGREEMENT OF PARTIES. The Originator, the Seller,
▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such
instruments and take such actions as either of the others may, from time to
time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the
terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 16. SURVIVAL. (a) The Seller agrees that the
representations, warranties and agreements made by it herein and in any
certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be
relied upon by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or
hereafter made by the Purchaser or on its behalf, and that the representations,
warranties and agreements made by the Seller herein or in any such certificate
or other instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage
Loans and shall continue in full force and effect,
-26-
notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes
and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement, the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.
(b) The Originator agrees that the representations, warranties
and agreements made by it herein and in any certificate or other instrument
delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Seller and
the Purchaser notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by
the Seller or the Purchaser or on the behalf of either of them, and that the
representations, warranties and agreements made by the Originator herein or in
any such certificate shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding
subsequent termination of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or
the Trust Fund.
(c) ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate agrees that the representations, warranties
and agreements made by it herein and in any certificate or other instrument
delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Seller and
the Purchaser notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by
the Seller or the Purchaser or on the behalf of either of them, and that the
representations, warranties and agreements made by ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate herein or in
any such certificate shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding
subsequent termination of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or
the Trust Fund.
SECTION 17. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) The Originator will indemnify
and hold harmless each of (i) the Seller, (ii) the Purchaser and (iii) each
person, if any, who controls the Seller or the Purchaser within the meaning of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") (i) through (iii)
collectively, the "Indemnified Party"), against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under the 1933
Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
Prospectus Supplement dated February 22, 1999 (the "Prospectus Supplement"), as
amended or supplemented, relating to the public offering of the Certificates,
representing interests in the Mortgage Loans, or in any other offering document
(the "Private Placement Memorandum") relating to the offering by the Purchaser
or an affiliate thereof, of the Class B-4, Class B-5, Class B-6IO and Class
B-6PO Certificates or in any revision or amendment thereof or supplement
thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in
each case to the extent and only to the extent that such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission relates to information
furnished by the Originator specifically for use in the Prospectus Supplement,
under the captions "Summary--The Mortgage Loans", "Risk Factors", "The Mortgage
Pool" and "Pooling and Servicing Agreement--The Originator and Master Servicer"
(and substantially identical information approved by the Originator set forth in
the Private Placement Memorandum relating to the Class B-4, Class B-5, Class
B-6IO and Class B-6PO Certificates), (b) any representation, warranty or
covenant made by the Originator in this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and (c) any updated collateral information provided by the Underwriter
to a Purchaser of the certificates derived from the data provided by the
Originator or in the Remittance Report or a current collateral tape obtained
from the
-27-
Originator or an affiliate of the Originator, including the current loan
balances of the Mortgage Loans to the extent such information was inaccurate
((a) through (c) collectively, the "Originator Information") and will reimburse
each such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by such Purchaser and each such controlling person in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.
The Originator's liability under this Section 17 shall be in addition to any
other liability the Originator may otherwise have.
(b) The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Originator, its officers and its directors, and each person who controls the
Originator within the meaning of the 1933 Act against any and all losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become
subject under the 1933 Act, or other federal or state statutory law or
regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based in
whole or in part upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or Private
Placement Memorandum, or in any revision or amendment thereof or supplement
thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were
made, not misleading, as of the date thereof and as of the Closing Date, except
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made therein in
reliance upon and in conformity with the Originator Information and will
reimburse the Originator and each such controlling person for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such Originator and each such controlling person
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action. The Purchaser's liability under this Section 17 shall be in
addition to any other liability the Purchaser may otherwise have.
(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental
investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to either Section 17(a) or 17(b) above, such
person (the "indemnified party") shall promptly notify the person against whom
such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing and the
indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and
shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such
proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right
to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of
such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood
that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or
related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees
and expenses of more than one separate firm for all such indemnified parties.
Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Purchaser, in the case of
parties indemnified pursuant to clause 17(a) and by the Originator, in the case
of parties indemnified pursuant to clause 17(b). The indemnifying party may, at
its option, at any time upon written notice
-28-
to the indemnified party, assume the defense of any proceeding and may designate
counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party in connection therewith provided
that the counsel so designated would have no actual or potential conflict of
interest in connection with such representation. Unless it shall assume the
defense of any proceeding, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if
settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the
indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against
any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. If the
indemnifying party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled
to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party or, if such
settlement provides for release of the indemnified party in connection with all
matters relating to the proceeding which have been asserted against the
indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement,
without the consent of the indemnified party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 17 is
unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 17(a) or 17(b) hereof or
insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred
to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnified and indemnifying parties in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
indemnified and indemnifying parties shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by such parties and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.
(e) The Purchaser and the Originator agree that it would not
be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 17 were determined by
pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take
account of the considerations referred to in Section 17(d) above. The amount
paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages and liabilities referred to in this Section 17 shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
or defending any such action or claim, except where the indemnified party is
required to bear such expenses pursuant to this Section 17, which expenses the
indemnifying party shall pay as and when incurred, at the request of the
indemnified party, to the extent that the indemnifying party will be ultimately
obligated to pay such expenses. In the event that any expenses so paid by the
indemnifying party are subsequently determined to not be required to be borne by
the indemnifying party hereunder, the party which received such payment shall
promptly refund the amount so paid to the party which made such payment. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in
this Section 17 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless
of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii)
-29-
any investigation made by the Seller, the Purchaser or any person controlling
the Purchaser or by or on behalf of the Originator and their respective
directors or officers or any person controlling the Originator, and (iii)
acceptance of and payment for any of the Certificates.
SECTION 18. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS,
DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS (INCLUDING THE CHOICE OF LAW
PROVISIONS) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND
THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW
SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION 19. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement may be executed in
two or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject
matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or
termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in
Section 4 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the
Seller to the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller
to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in
the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the
Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then, (a) it is the
express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the
Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Seller and (b) (1) 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; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof
shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security
interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage
Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the con version, voluntary or
involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other
property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment
earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account whether
in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the
possession by the Purchaser or its agent of Mortgage Notes, the related
Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute instruments, money,
negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the
secured party" for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to
Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (4) notifications to
persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries,
bailees or agents (as
-30-
applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security
interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of the Purchaser
pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any
security interest created hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the
extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to
ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the
Mortgage Loans, 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 this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Purchaser, the Seller, the Originator
and ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate have caused their names to be signed by their respective
officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
Series 1999-2
CERTIFICATE OF
SALOMON BROTHERS REALTY CORP.
Reference is made to the sale of mortgage loans (the "Mortgage
Loans") by Salomon Brothers Realty Corp. ("SBRC") to Salomon Brothers Mortgage
Securities VII, Inc. (the "Depositor") pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, dated February 22, 1999, among SBRC, Cendant Mortgage Corporation,
▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate Residential Mortgage Trust and the Depositor (the "Purchase
Agreement"), and the simultaneous issuance of Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1999-2 (the "Certificates"), pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 1999 (the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement") among the Depositor as depositor, Cendant Mortgage Corporation as
master servicer (the "Master Servicer") and The Chase Manhattan Bank as trustee
(the "Trustee"). In consideration for its purchase of the Mortgage Loans, the
Depositor will deliver to SBRC immediately available funds. The Depositor will
sell the Certificates to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Inc. (the "Underwriter") for offer
and sale pursuant to the terms of an Underwriting Agreement, dated February 22,
1999 (the "Underwriting Agreement"), between the Depositor and the Underwriter.
The Purchase Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Underwriting
Agreement together, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Agreements". Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth in the Agreements.
The undersigned is a duly appointed Authorized Agent of SBRC
and hereby certifies after reasonable investigation that:
1. The price to be paid to SBRC for the Mortgage Loans will
have been paid in full at the closing of the sale pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, and no agreement or arrangement exists or will exist that permits the
modification of the consideration for the Mortgage Loans subsequent to that
sale. SBRC will not have any right or obligation to repurchase any Mortgage
Loan, except as provided in the Purchase Agreement.
2. Each Mortgage Note and each related Mortgage has been
appropriately prepared and duly executed and delivered by the related Mortgagor,
and each Mortgage has been appropriately recorded in the applicable jurisdiction
and any intervening endorsement of any Mortgage Note, and any intervening
assignment of any Mortgage, which was required in order to transfer to SBRC
ownership of the Mortgage Loans, was obtained and completed.
3. Each Mortgage Note has been endorsed or assigned in a
manner that satisfies any requirement necessary to transfer to the Trustee all
right, title and interest of the party so
-2-
endorsing or assigning, as noteholder or transferee thereof, in and to that
Mortgage Note, as provided in the Purchase Agreement and the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. Each Assignment to the Trustee is in recordable form and is
sufficient to effect the assignment and transfer to the Depositor of the
benefits of the assignor, as original mortgagee or assignee thereof, under each
Mortgage to which that Assignment relates, as provided in the Purchase Agreement
and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Each Assignment to the Trustee has been
or will be appropriately recorded to the extent required under applicable law,
as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
4. Each original Mortgage Note, each original recorded
Mortgage, each original recorded intervening Assignment and each Assignment to
the Trustee has been delivered to the Trustee at the direction of the Depositor,

indirect control of SBRC.

SBRC to the Depositor, SBRC was the sole owner of each Mortgage Loan, free and
clear of any and all prior liens, mortgages, security interests, pledges,
participation interests, adverse claims, charges or other equities or
encumbrances of any nature, and had full right and authority to sell, assign and
transfer the Mortgage Loans.
6. No Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other document constituting
part of the Mortgage File reflects or will reflect on its face any interest that
is inconsistent with the ownership interest of SBRC in and to the Mortgage Loans
or the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by SBRC to the Depositor.
7. The transfer of the Mortgage Loans by SBRC to the Depositor
as provided in the Purchase Agreement is intended by SBRC to be, and is in fact,
a contemporaneous exchange in which SBRC receives new value.
8. SBRC was solvent at all relevant times prior to, and will
not be rendered insolvent by, the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the
Depositor.
9. SBRC did not transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor
with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of SBRC's creditors.
10. None of SBRC, the Depositor, the Master Servicers or the
Trustee, or any agent acting on behalf of any of them, has been or will become a
party to any fraud or illegality affecting any Mortgage Loan or Certificate.
11. No breach of the Agreements by any party,
misrepresentation or failure by any party to perform all acts required to be
performed prior to the Closing Date, or fraud or mistake on

the part of any party to the Agreements in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Agreements, has occurred or will occur.
12. No party to the Agreements has taken or will take any
action that is unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious, or that is not taken in
good faith or in a commercially reasonable manner, affecting the Mortgage Loans
in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreements.
13. There is not and will not be any other agreement among the
parties to the Agreements that modifies or otherwise supplements the agreement
of the parties as expressed in the Agreements.
14. SBRC does not have and will not have any right to modify
or alter the terms of the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by SBRC to the
Depositor, or to substitute or add any mortgage loan thereafter, except as
provided in the Agreements.
15. SBRC will not take any action that is inconsistent with
the ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans evidenced by the Certificates. SBRC
will promptly indicate to other persons or entities, when a response is
appropriate, that the Mortgage Loans were transferred by SBRC to the Depositor.
SBRC will not claim any ownership interest directly in the Mortgage Loans other
than that represented by Certificates in which it may have an ownership interest
from time to time.
16. Under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
and for federal income tax purposes, SBRC will report the transfer of the
Mortgage Loans to the Depositor, as provided in the respective Purchase
Agreements as a sale of all of its interest in the Mortgage Loans. SBRC has been
advised by or has confirmed with its independent public accountants for similar
transactions that the sale will be so classified under GAAP in accordance with
Statement No. 125 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

Re: Salomon Brothers Mortgage Securities VII, Inc.
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1999-2
-------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Salomon Brothers Realty Corp. (the
"Seller") in connection with the sale of mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans")
by the Seller to Salomon Brothers Mortgage Securities VII, Inc. (the
"Depositor") pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated February 22,
1999, among the Seller, Cendant Mortgage Corporation, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Gate Residential
Mortgage Trust and the Depositor (the "Agreement"). This opinion is being
delivered to you pursuant to Section 9(c) of the Agreement. Capitalized terms
used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Agreement or in
agreements referred to therein.
In rendering this opinion letter, we do not express any
opinion concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York and the
federal law of the United States, and we do not express any opinion concerning
the application of the "doing business" laws or the securities laws of any
jurisdiction other than the federal securities laws of the United States. In
addition, we do not express any opinion on any issue not expressly addressed
below.
In rendering this opinion letter, we have examined the
Agreement, the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Seller and such
records and other documents as we have deemed necessary. As to matters of fact,
we have examined and relied upon representations of the Seller contained in the
Agreement, and where we have deemed appropriate, representations or
certifications of officers of the Seller, the Depositor or public officials. We
have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the
genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the
conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have
assumed, except as to the Seller, that all parties had the corporate power and
authority to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and, as to such
parties, we also have assumed the due authorization by all requisite corporate
action, the due execution and delivery and the validity and binding effect and
enforceability of such documents. We have further assumed that there is not and
Salomon Brothers Mortgage Securities VII, Inc.
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Inc.
February __, 1999 Page 2.
will not be any other agreement that materially supplements or otherwise
modifies the agreements expressed in the Agreements. We have further assumed the
conformity of the Mortgage Loans and related documents to the requirements of
the Agreement.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Seller is a corporation duly organized and validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
New York and has the requisite corporate power to own its
properties, to conduct its business as presently conducted by
it, to own the Mortgage Loans, to transfer and convey the
Mortgage Loans to the Depositor and to enter into and perform
its obligations under the Agreement.
2. The Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by the Seller and, upon due authorization, execution and
delivery by the other parties thereto, it will constitute a
valid, legal and binding agreement of the Seller, enforceable
against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency,
liquidation, receivership, moratorium, reorganization or other
similar laws affecting the rights of creditors and (b) general
principles of equity, whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding in equity or at law.
3. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any State of
New York or federal court or governmental agency or body is
required for the consummation by the Seller of the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement except for those
consents, approvals, authorizations or orders that previously
have been obtained.
4. Neither the transfer of the Mortgage Loans as provided in the
Agreement, nor the fulfillment of the terms of or the
consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated by
the Agreement, will result in a breach of any term or
provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of
the Seller or, to the best of our knowledge, will conflict
with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of or
constitute a default under, the terms of any indenture or
other agreement or instrument to which the Seller is a party
or by which it is bound, or any State of New York or federal
statute applicable to the Seller, or any order or regulation
of any State of New York or federal court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction
over the Seller.
5. To the best of our knowledge, there are no actions,
proceedings or investigations pending or threatened against
the Seller before any court, administrative agency or other
tribunal (a) asserting the invalidity of the Agreement, (b)
seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated in the Agreement or (c) that
Salomon Brothers Mortgage Securities VII, Inc.
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Inc.

might materially and adversely affect the performance by the
Seller of its obligations under, or the validity or
enforceability of, the Agreement.
This opinion letter is rendered for the sole benefit of each
addressee hereof, and no other person is entitled to rely hereon. Copies of this
letter may not be furnished to any other person, nor may any portion of this
letter be quoted, circulated or referred to in any other document, without our
prior written consent.

securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such
subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and if the
investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the Transferee's direction.
However, such securities were not included if the Transferee is a
majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of another enterprise and the Transferee
is not itself a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
5. The Transferee acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule
144A and understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the
Certificates are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein
because one or more sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule 144A.
___ ___ Will the Transferee be purchasing the Certificates
Yes No only for the Transferee's own account?
6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no", the
Transferee agrees that, in connection with any purchase of securities sold to
the Transferee for the account of a third party (including any separate account)
in reliance on Rule 144A, the Transferee will only purchase for the account of a
third party that at the time is a "qualified institutional buyer" within the
meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that the Transferee
will not purchase securities for a third party unless the Transferee has
obtained a current representation letter from such third party or taken other
appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party
independently meets the definition of "qualified institutional buyer" set forth
in Rule 144A.
7. The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which
this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions
herein. Until such notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the
Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the
date of such purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and
loan as provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such
parties updated annual financial statements promptly after they become
available.

FORM OF TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT
STATE OF NEW YORK )
: ss.:
COUNTY OF NEW YORK )
___________________________________, being duly sworn,
deposes, represents and warrants as follows:
1. I am a ______________________ of __________________________
(the "Owner") a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of
______________, the record owner of Salomon Brothers Mortgage Securities VII,
Inc., Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1999-2, [Class R-I] [and Class
R-II] (the "Class R Certificates"), on behalf of whom I make this affidavit and
agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective
meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to
which the Class R Certificates were issued.
2. The Owner (i) is and will be a "Permitted Transferee" as of
____________________, 199___ and (ii) is acquiring the Class R Certificates for
its own account or for the account of another Owner from which it has received
an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. A "Permitted
Transferee" is any person other than a "disqualified organization" or a
possession of the United States. 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. The Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
transfers of the Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that applies to all transfers of the 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 non-Permitted Transferee, 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 a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such person does not
have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that each of the
Class R Certificates may be a "noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning
of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under 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
is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
4. The Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through
entity" holding the Class R Certificates if, at any time during the taxable year
of the pass-through entity, a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of
an interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes
a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust
fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
5. The Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the
transfer of any Class R Certificate unless the transferee, or the transferee's
agent, delivers to the Trustee, among other things, an affidavit in
substantially the same form as this affidavit. 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.
6. 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 a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Owner's taxpayer identification number is
___________________.
8. The Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the
face of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued
(in particular, clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(d) which authorize
the Trustee to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a
mandatory sale by the Trustee in the event that the Owner holds such Certificate
in violation of Section 5.02(d)); and that the Owner expressly agrees to be
bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.
9. The Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the Class
R Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
10. The Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds
the Class R Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the
holder of such Class R Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the
benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificates that the
Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R Certificates as
they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess
of any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificates.
11. The Owner has no present knowledge that it may become
insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the
Class R Certificates.
12. 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.
13. The Owner is not acquiring the Class R Certificates with
the intent to transfer the Class R Certificates to any person or entity that
will not have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such
Class R Certificates, or that may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy
proceeding, for so long as the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.
14. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it
makes of the Class R Certificates, obtain from its transferee the
representations required by Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement under which the Class R Certificate were issued and will not
consummate any such transfer if it knows, or knows facts that should lead it to
believe, that any such representations are false.
15. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it
makes of the Class R Certificates, deliver to the Trustee an affidavit, which
represents and warrants that it is not transferring the Class R Certificates to
impede the assessment or collection of any tax and that it has no actual
knowledge that the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient assets to pay any
taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the Class R Certificates; (ii) may
become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Class
R Certificates remains outstanding; and (iii) is not a "Permitted Transferee".
16. 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 or
trust whose income from sources without the United States may be included in
gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its
connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner has caused this instrument to be
executed on its behalf, pursuant to the authority of its Board of Directors, by
its [Vice] President, attested by its [Assistant] Secretary, this ____ day of

2. The Owner is not transferring the [Class R-I][and Class

3. The Owner has no actual knowledge that the Person that is

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

historically paid its debts as they became 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 Owner understands that the transfer of a
Residual Certificate may not be respected for United States income tax purposes

associated therewith) unless the Owner has conducted such an investigation.
