required by the Master Servicer or any person (including the Trustee) acting as
successor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.04 in order to carry out the
duties of Master Servicer hereunder, then the Master Servicer (or such
successor) shall be entitled to request that the Depositor deliver (or that the
Depositor cause the related Originator to deliver) such documents or instruments
and shall be entitled to retain such documents or instruments for as long as
necessary for servicing purposes. Any such documents or instruments shall be
returned to the Depositor or, if applicable, the related Originator (unless
returned to the related Mortgagor in connection with the payment in full of the
related __________ Loan) when possession thereof is no longer required.
The right of the Depositor (or of any Originator acting on behalf of
the Depositor) to maintain possession of the documents enumerated above shall
continue so long as (x) the Depositor (or such Originator) remains an affiliate
of Beneficial Corporation and the long-term unsecured debt of Beneficial
Corporation is assigned ratings of at least A- by Standard & Poor's and Fitch
and A3 by Xxxxx'x or (y) the Depositor has not been removed as Master Servicer
following the occurrence of an Event of Default. The Master Servicer shall
notify in writing each Originator and the Trustee if the long-term unsecured
debt of Beneficial Corporation does not satisfy either of such ratings. At such
time, as promptly as practicable but in no event more than ___ days in the case
of clause (i) below and ___ days in the case of clause (ii) below following the
occurrence of such event, the Depositor at its own expense shall (or shall cause
the related Originator to) (i) either (x) submit for recording an assignment of
Mortgage in favor of the Trustee (which may be a blanket assignment, if
permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel delivered to the Trustee) with respect to each of the related ____
__________ Loan the appropriate real property or other records or (y) deliver to
the Trustee the fully executed and prepared assignment of mortgage in favor of
the Trustee in form for recordation, together with an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that neither the recording of an assignment nor the taking of any other
action is required to protect the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to
the related Mortgage and the related __________ Loan or, if a court were to
recharacterize the sale of the __________ Loans as a financing, to perfect a
first priority security interest in favor of the Trustee in such Mortgage and
__________ Loan and (ii) deliver the related Mortgage Files to the Trustee to
be held by the Trustee in trust,
- 21 -
upon the terms herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and
future Certificateholders, and the Trustee shall retain possession thereof
except to the extent the Master Servicer or Subservicers require any Mortgage
Files for normal servicing as contemplated by Section 3.07.
The Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to review any Mortgage
File until such Mortgage File is delivered to the Trustee pursuant to clause
(ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph. Within ___ days following the first
delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee pursuant to clause (ii) of the
immediately preceding paragraph, the Trustee will review each Mortgage File
delivered to it to ascertain that all required documents set forth in this
Section 2.01 have been executed and received, and that such documents relate to
the __________ Loans identified on the __________ Loan Schedule. In so doing
the Trustee may conclusively rely on the purported due execution and genuineness
of any signature thereon. If within such __-day period the Trustee finds any
document constituting a part of a Mortgage File not to have been executed or
received or to be unrelated to the ____________ Loans identified in such ____
______ Loan Schedule, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Depositor, which
shall have a period of ___ days after receipt of such notice within which to
correct or cure, or to cause the related Originator to correct or cure, any such
defect. Each original recorded assignment of Mortgage shall be delivered to the
Trustee within ___ Business Days following the date on which it is returned to
the Depositor or the related Originator by the office with which such assignment
was filed for recording and within ___ days following receipt by the Trustee of
the recorded assignment or the assignment in recordable form, as the case may
be, the Trustee shall review such assignment to confirm the information
specified above with respect to the documents constituting the Mortgage File.
Upon receipt by the Trustee of the recorded assignment or the assignment in
recordable form, as the case may be, such recorded assignment or assignment in
recordable form shall become part of the Mortgage File. The Trustee shall notify
the Depositor of any defect in such assignment based on such review. The
Depositor shall have a period of ___ days following receipt of such notice to
correct or cure, or to cause the related Originator to correct or cure, such
defect. In the event that the Depositor fails to record, or to cause the related
Originator to record, an assignment of a __________ Loan as herein provided
within such 30-day period, the Trustee shall, upon written instructions from the
Depositor, prepare and, if required hereunder, file such assignment for
recordation in the appropriate real property or other records and the Depositor
shall deliver within ___ Business Days of the Closing Date a power of attorney
of each Originator, which shall appoint the Trustee as its attorney-in-fact with
full power and authority to act in its stead for the purpose of such
preparation, execution and filing. Any expense incurred by the Trustee not
otherwise paid for by the Depositor or the related Originator as required
hereunder in connection with the preparation and filing of such assignments
shall be reimbursed to the Trustee from amounts that would otherwise be
distributable to holders of the Class (_) Certificates.
The Trustee shall have no responsibility for reviewing any Mortgage
File except as expressly provided in this Section 2.01. In reviewing any
Mortgage File pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall have no responsibility
for determining whether any document is valid and binding, whether the text of
any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form (except, if
applicable, to determine if the Trustee is the assignee or endorsee), whether
any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any
applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any
applicable jurisdiction, but shall only be required to determine whether a
document appears to have been executed, that it appears to be what it purports
to be and, where applicable, that it purports to be recorded, but shall not be
required to determine whether any Person executing any document was authorized
to do so or whether any signature thereon is genuine.

The Depositor further confirms to the Trustee that the Depositor and
each Originator have caused the portions of their Electronic Ledgers relating to
the __________ Loans to be clearly and unambiguously marked to indicate that
the Trust Balance of each ____________ Loan transferred and assigned by such
Originator to the Depositor, and thereafter by the Depositor to the Trustee
hereunder, has been sold to the Trustee and constitutes part of the Trust Fund
in accordance with the terms of the trust created hereunder.
Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee; Repurchase Obligations;
Substitution of Eligible Substitute ___________ Loans. (a) The Trustee
acknowledges the assignment and sale of the Trust Balance of each ___________
Loan to it, and declares that the Trustee holds and will hold the Trust Fund in
trust, upon the terms herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present
and future Certificateholders. If the time to cure any defect of which the
Trustee has notified the Master Servicer following the Trustee's review of the
Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.01 has expired or if any loss is suffered
by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, in respect of any ____
______ Loan as a result of (i) a material defect in any document constituting a
part of a Mortgage File or (ii) the related Originator's retention of such
Mortgage File or an assignment of a __________ Loan not having been recorded,
the Master Servicer shall, on the Business Day preceding the Distribution Date
in the month following the Collection Period in which the time to cure such
defect expired or such loss occurred, either (i) repurchase the Trust Balance of
the related __________ Loan (including any property acquired in respect thereof
and any insurance policy or insurance proceeds with respect thereto) from the
Trust Fund at a price equal to the Purchase Price, which shall be accomplished
by deposit by the Master Servicer in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section
4.02 on such preceding Business Day, or (ii) so long as such Distribution Date
occurs within two years following the Closing Date, substitute for the Trust
Balance of such ____________ Loan one or more Eligible Substitute ___________
Loans and remit any Substitution Adjustment Amount in respect thereof to the
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.02 on such preceding Business Day. The
Master Servicer may first request of the related Originator that it effect the
repurchase or substitution of any Eligible Substitute __________ Loan described
in the preceding sentence, but in the event any such Originator shall not have
effected such repurchase or substitution in the time provided therefor, the
Master Servicer shall be obligated to deposit the related Purchase Price into
the Certificate Account in immediately available funds not later than such
Distribution Date and thereby be deemed to have purchased the Trust Balance of
such __________ Loan in lieu of such Originator. Such purchase by the Master
Servicer shall not relieve the related Originator of any liability to the Master
Servicer with respect to the Trust Balance of the __________ Loan so purchased,
and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to require the related Originator to
pay to the Master Servicer the related Purchase Price and thereby purchase the
Trust Balance of such __________ Loan from the Master Servicer. Upon receipt by
the Trustee of (i) in the case of a repurchase, written notification signed by a
Servicing Officer to the effect that the Purchase Price for any such Defective
__________ Loan has been so deposited in the Certificate Account or (ii) in the
case of a substitution, written notification signed by a Servicing Officer to
the effect that the Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, has been so
deposited in the Certificate Account and, if required at such time, that the
related Mortgage File has been delivered to the Trustee and the assignment
referred to in Section 2.01 has been recorded, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver such instrument of transfer or assignment presented to it by the Master
Servicer, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be
necessary to vest in the Master Servicer or the related Originator, as the case
may be, legal and beneficial ownership of such purchased Defective ___________
Loan (including any property acquired in respect thereof and proceeds of any
insurance
- 23 -
policy with respect thereto). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of
the Master Servicer to repurchase or substitute for any __________ Loan as to
which a material defect in a Mortgage File or any constituent document thereof
continues to exist following the cure period as described in the preceding
paragraph shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders against the
Master Servicer, and such obligation on the part of the Master Servicer shall
survive any resignation or termination of the Master Servicer hereunder. It is
further understood and agreed that any such repurchase obligation shall be
solely that of the original Master Servicer and shall survive any resignation or
termination of such Master Servicer hereunder, and the Trustee shall in no event
be obligated to repurchase any __________ Loan hereunder.
[Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any repurchase or
substitution that would result in the realization of a gain by the Trust Fund,
the Master Servicer shall not be required to so repurchase or replace any ____
______ Loan unless it is a Defective __________ Loan and the Trustee shall have
received (i) in the case of a repurchase, either an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such repurchase shall not be subject to tax as a result of being
deemed a "prohibited transaction" under section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or an
Officer's Certificate to the effect that such repurchase shall not give rise to
net income taxable under section 860F(a)(1) of the Code and (ii) in either case,
an Opinion of Counsel that such repurchase or substitution will not be deemed a
contribution to the REMIC after the "start-up day" that would give rise to the
tax specified under section 860G(d)(1) of the Code. Any such opinion or
certificate shall be provided solely at the expense of the Master Servicer. In
the absence of such opinion or certificate, the Master Servicer shall not be
required to repurchase or replace any __________ Loan unless it is a Defective
__________ Loan and there is an actual or imminent default with respect thereto
or unless such breach adversely affects the enforceability of such ___________
Loan.]
(b) As to any Eligible Substitute __________ Loan, the Master Servicer
shall deliver, or cause the related Originator to deliver, to the Trustee an
acknowledgment that the Depositor (or the related Originator on behalf of the
Depositor) is holding as custodian for the Trustee such documents and
agreements, if any, as are permitted to be held by the Depositor (or the related
Originator) in accordance with Section 2.01. An assignment of Mortgage in favor
of the Trustee with respect to any such Eligible Substitute __________ Loan
shall be required to be recorded in the appropriate real property or other
records or delivered to the Trustee with the Opinion of Counsel referred to in
Section 2.01 under the same circumstances that all other assignments of Mortgage
are required to be recorded hereunder. For any Collection Period during which
the Master Servicer substitutes one or more Eligible Substitute ___________
Loans for one or more Defective __________ Loans, the Master Servicer shall
determine the amount, if any, by which the sum of the aggregate Trust Balances
of all such Eligible Substitute __________ Loans at the end of such Collection
Period is less than the aggregate Trust Balances at the end of such Collection
Period of the related __________ Loans being removed from the Trust Fund. The
amount of any such shortfall for a Collection Period computed by the Master
Servicer, together with any accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Balance of
the ___________ Loan being replaced at the related Net Loan Rate (the
"Substitution Adjustment Amount"), shall be deposited by the Master Servicer in
the Certificate Account on the Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date
in the month following the Collection Period in which the circumstances giving
rise to such substitution occur. All amounts received in respect of any Eligible
Substitute ___________ Loans during the Collection Period in which the
circumstances giving rise to a substitution occur shall not be a part of the
Trust Fund and
- 24 -
shall not be credited to the __________ Loan Payment Record or deposited by the
Master Servicer in the Certificate Account. All amounts received by the Master
Servicer during the Collection Period in which the circumstances giving rise to
such substitution occur in respect of the Trust Balance of any __________ Loan
so removed from the Trust Fund shall be deposited by the Master Servicer in the
Certificate Account. The Master Servicer shall amend the ___________ Loan
Schedule to reflect the removal of the Trust Balances of any ____________ Loans
from the Trust Fund and the substitution of the Trust Balances of any Eligible
Substitute __________ Loans. Upon such substitution, the Trust Balance of any
Eligible Substitute __________ Loan shall constitute a portion of the Trust
Fund and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and
the Depositor shall be deemed to have made with respect to any such Eligible
Substitute __________ Loan, as of the date of substitution, the covenants,
representations, warranties and obligations set forth in Section 2.04. The
Trustee shall upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.02(a)
promptly effect the reconveyance of any __________ Loan so removed from the
Trust Fund to the Master Servicer (or, if so instructed by the Master Servicer,
to the related Originator), in the manner set forth in Section 2.02(a). The
procedures applied by the Master Servicer in selecting each Eligible Substitute
____________ Loan shall not be adverse to the interests of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders and shall be comparable to the selection procedures
applicable to the __________ Loans originally conveyed hereunder.
(c) As of the Closing Date, the Trustee certifies that (i) it acquired
the Trust Balances of the ___________ Loans in good faith, for value, and
without notice or knowledge or any adverse claim, lien, change, encumbrance or
security interest (including without limitation, federal tax liens or liens
arising under ERISA), (ii) except as permitted herein, it has not and will not,
in any capacity, assert any claim or interest in the __________ Loans and (iii)
it has not encumbered or transferred its right, title or interest in the ____
______ Loans. The representation and warranty made in clause (i) above is made
by the Trustee without any independent investigation and without recourse or
warranty, except that the Trustee believes such representation to be true.
Section 2.03. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Master
Servicer. The Master Servicer represents and warrants to the Trustee and the
Certificateholders as of the Closing Date that:

State of Delaware and has the corporate power to own its assets and to

the consent of any other party or any consent, license, approval or
authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any
governmental authority, bureau or agency in connection with the

Agreement by the Master Servicer will not violate any provision of any

material breach of any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement
to which the Master Servicer is a party or by which the Master Servicer
may be bound; and

transaction penalty taxes, imposed on the Trust Fund when and as the same shall
be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Master Servicer or
any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate
proceedings and shall not prevent the Master Servicer from withholding payment
of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings).] If
the Master Servicer is not permitted, by applicable law, to fulfill any of its
duties described in this Section 3.01 (as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to
such effect delivered to the Trustee), the Trustee shall, at the expense of the
Master Servicer, carry out such duties pursuant to the written instructions of

Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.
In connection with the servicing and administration of the ___________
Loans, the Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit any Subservicer to,
consent to an increase in the Credit Limit specified in any Loan Agreement
unless (i) the Master Servicer or such Subservicer and such Mortgagor execute a
new Loan Agreement providing for such increase and (ii) the Master Servicer, not
later than (x) the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date
applicable to the Collection Period during which a new Loan Agreement was
executed or (y) in the event the Master Servicer is not entitled to retain and
commingle with its own funds amounts referred to in Section 3.02(c), not later

or decrease or slow (other than as permitted by clause (ii) of Section 3.02(a))
the timing of receipt of any payments required thereunder, (ii) such
modification will not cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC under

Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and
not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
[In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" (as
defined in section 860F(a)(2) of the Code) of the Trust Fund, such tax shall be
charged against amounts otherwise distributable to Holders of the Class (_)
Certificates to the extent hereinafter provided. In the event

Servicer shall pay such tax from its own funds. In such event, the Master
Servicer is hereby authorized to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to
Holders of the Class (_) Certificates on any subsequent Distribution Date
sufficient funds to reimburse the Master Servicer for the payment of such tax
(to the extent that the Master Servicer has not been previously reimbursed or
indemnified therefor). The obligation of the Master Servicer to pay any such tax
from its own funds in the event amounts otherwise distributable to Holders of
the Class (_) Certificates are not sufficient shall be solely that of the Master
Servicer and shall survive any resignation or termination of the Master Servicer
hereunder; provided, however, that such obligation shall be solely that of the
original Master Servicer in the case of "prohibited transactions" caused by, or
stemming from any act or omission of, such original Master Servicer, including,
but not limited to, the repurchase of a Defective __________ Loan, and in such
case shall survive any such resignation or termination of the original Master
Servicer hereunder.]

credited by the Master Servicer to the __________ Loan Payment Record shall be
held by the Master Servicer in trust for the Certificateholders until such

Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) either (x) the
Master Servicer remains an affiliate of Beneficial Corporation and the
short-term debt obligations of Beneficial Corporation are rated at least A-1 by

such organization may otherwise agree to in writing) or (y) the Master Servicer
arranges for and maintains a Servicer LOC acceptable in form and substance to
each Rating Agency (which acceptability shall be confirmed in writing);
provided, however, that amounts permitted to be retained and commingled pursuant

event the Master Servicer is entitled to retain and commingle the amounts
referred to in the preceding sentence, it shall be entitled to retain for its
own account any investment income thereon, and any such investment income shall
not be subject to any claim of the Trustee or Certificateholders. Any amounts
retained and commingled by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.02(c)

the Trust Fund. In the event that the Master Servicer is not permitted to retain
and commingle such amounts with its own funds, it shall, any provisions herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, deposit such amounts not later than the second
Business Day following receipt in the Certificate Account created and maintained
pursuant to Section 4.02, subject to withdrawal to the same extent as debits to
the __________ Loan Payment Record are permitted pursuant to Section 3.03.
(d) The __________ Loan Payment Record shall be made available for
inspection during normal business hours of the Master Servicer upon request of
the Trustee, any Servicer LOC Issuer or the firm of independent accountants
acting pursuant to Section 3.10.

In addition, if the Master Servicer deposits in the Certificate Account or
credits to the ____________ Loan Payment Record any amount not required to be
deposited therein or credited thereto or any amount in respect of payments by

any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 3.04. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Property Protection
Expenses. The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgaged
Property hazard insurance with an appropriate endorsement in favor of the Master
Servicer or the related Subservicer and extended coverage in an amount that is
at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the
improvements securing the related __________ Loan from time to time or (ii) the
sum of the Loan Balance of such __________ Loan and the outstanding principal
balance of any mortgage loan senior to such __________ Loan from time to time,
but in no event shall such amount be less than is necessary to prevent the
Mortgagor from becoming a coinsurer thereunder. The Master Servicer shall also
maintain on property acquired upon foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure, hazard insurance with an appropriate endorsement in favor of the
Master Servicer or the related Subservicer with extended coverage in an amount
which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value from
time to time of the improvements that are a part of such property or (ii) the
sum of the Loan Balance of such __________ Loan and the outstanding principal
balance of any mortgage loan senior to such __________ Loan at the time of such
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure plus accrued interest and the
good-faith estimate of the Master Servicer of related Liquidation Expenses to be
incurred in connection therewith. Amounts collected by the Master Servicer under
any such policies shall be credited to the __________ Loan Payment Record and
deposited in the Certificate Account in accordance with Section 3.02(b) to the
extent that they constitute Trust Liquidation Proceeds or Trust Insurance
Proceeds.
In cases in which any Mortgaged Property is located in a federally
designated flood area, the hazard insurance to be maintained for such Mortgaged
Property shall include flood insurance (to the extent available). All such flood
insurance shall be in such amounts as are required under applicable guidelines
of the Federal National Mortgage Association. The Master Servicer shall be under
no obligation to require that any Mortgagor maintain earthquake or other
additional insurance and shall be under no obligation itself to maintain any
such additional insurance on property acquired in respect of a __________ Loan,
other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time
be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Master
Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy issued by an insurer
acceptable to the Rating Agencies insuring against hazard losses on all of the
___________ Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its
obligations as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.04, it being
understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which
case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been
maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the first
sentence of this Section 3.04, and there shall have been a loss which would have
been covered by such policy, credit to the __________ Loan Payment Record and
deposit in the Certificate Account the applicable Trust Percentage of the amount
not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. The Trust Percentage of any amounts paid
- 34 -
under any such policy shall be credited to the __________ Loan Payment Record
and deposited in the Certificate Account in accordance with Section 3.02(b).
Section 3.05. Assumption and Modification Agreements. In any case in
which a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor,
the Master Servicer and each Subservicer shall exercise its right to accelerate
the maturity of the related __________ Loan and require that the Loan Balance
thereof be paid in full on or prior to such conveyance by the Mortgagor under
any "due-on-sale" clause applicable thereto. If such "due-on-sale" clause, by
its terms, is not operable or the Master Servicer is prevented, as provided in
the following paragraph of this Section 3.05, from enforcing any such clause,
the Master Servicer is authorized to take or enter into an assumption and
modification agreement from or with the Person to whom such property has been or
is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the
Loan Agreement and the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. In connection with any
such agreement, the provisions for the adjustment of the Loan Rate thereon shall
not be modified to increase or decrease the Loan Rate. Any such agreement shall,
for all purposes, be considered part of the related Mortgage File. Any fee
collected by the Master Servicer for entering into any such agreement will be
retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph of this Section 3.05 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 __________ Loan, or transfer of any Mortgaged Property
without the assumption thereof, by operation of law or any assumption or
transfer which the Master Servicer reasonably believes it may be restricted by
law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
Section 3.06. Realization upon Defaulted __________ Loans. The Master
Servicer shall, or shall cause the applicable Subservicer to, foreclose upon or
otherwise comparably convert to ownership Mortgaged Properties securing such of
the __________ Loans as come into and continue in default when, in the opinion
of the Master Servicer, no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection
of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.02. In connection with such
foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer or such Subservicer shall
follow such practices (including, in the case of any default on a related prior
deed of trust, the advancing of funds to correct such default) and procedures as
it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual from time
to time in its general mortgage servicing activities. In determining whether to
foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of a Mortgaged
Property, the Master Servicer and each Subservicer shall take into account (and
shall not be required to foreclose or otherwise convert the ownership of such
Mortgaged Property in the case of) the existence of any hazardous substances,
hazardous wastes or solid wastes, as such terms are defined in the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act of 1976, or other federal, state or local environmental
legislation, on such Mortgaged Property. The foregoing is subject to the proviso
that neither the Master Servicer nor any Subservicer shall be required to expend
its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or other conversion or towards
the correction of any default on a related prior mortgage loan or restoration of
any property unless it shall determine that such foreclosure, correction or
restoration will increase Trust Liquidation Proceeds.

In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property by
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, such Mortgaged Property shall be
disposed of by or on behalf of the Trust Fund within two years after its
acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged
Property subsequent to two years after its acquisition will not result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" (as defined in section 860F of
the Code) of the Trust Fund or cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.

of satisfaction shall be recorded by the Master Servicer if required by
applicable law and be delivered to the Person entitled thereto, it being
understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such

observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the
Mortgagors and the failure of the Master Servicer or the Trustee to provide
access as provided in this Section 3.11 as a result of such obligation shall not
constitute a breach of this Section 3.11.

such form as the Trustee shall reasonably request, to the Paying Agent and the
Trustee, on or before the start of the third Business Day preceding the related
Distribution Date, as is required in the Trustee's reasonable judgment to enable

shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B, the Class (_)
Certificates shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C, and the
Class (_) Certificates shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit

Trustee to or upon the written order of the Depositor concurrently with the sale
and assignment to the Trustee of the Trust Fund. So long as the Class (_), Class
(_) and Class (_) Certificates are Book-Entry Certificates, such Certificates
shall be evidenced by (i) in the case of the Class (_) Certificates, five
Certificates each representing $___________ principal amount and a single
Certificate representing $__________ principal amount, (ii) in the case of the

Securities Act or any other securities laws or to take any action not otherwise
required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of any Class (_)
Certificate without registration or qualification.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of the Trust Fund by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee under the seal
of the Trustee imprinted thereon. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were
affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trust Fund,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so
authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did
not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be
entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose,
unless such Certificate shall have been manually countersigned by the Trustee
substantially in the form provided for herein, and such countersignature upon
any Certificate 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 countersignature.
Section 6.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a
Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of
transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall
initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering
Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any
office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to the
foregoing paragraph and upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the
Trustee shall execute, countersign and deliver, in the name of the
- 43 -
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates representing
the applicable aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of a like Class in authorized denominations (in the case
of the Class (_), Class (_) and Class (_) Certificates) or aggregate Percentage
Interests (in the case of the Class (_) Certificates), upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
countersign and deliver the Certificates that the Certificateholder making the
exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized
in writing.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) below, the Book-Entry
Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository
or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of the Book-Entry Certificates
may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the
Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate
Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry
Certificates; (iii) registration of ownership and transfers of the Book-Entry
Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable
rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual
and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v)
the Trustee shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect
participating firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the
Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under
this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such
representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall
be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with
respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository
Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on
the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate
Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be
made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant
or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository
Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it
represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with
the Depository's normal procedures.
(c) If (i)(A) the Master Servicer advises the Trustee in writing that
the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository and (B) the Master Servicer is unable to locate a
qualified successor, (ii) the Master Servicer 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 an Event of Default, Certificate
Owners representing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the
aggregate Percentage Interests of each outstanding Class of Book-Entry
Certificates advise the Trustee and the Depository through the Depository
Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the
Depository is no longer desired by the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall
notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any
such event and of the availability of definitive, fully registered
- 44 -
Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners requesting
the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the
Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for
registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the
Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of
such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates the
Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum by the
Holders of such Certificates sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange
shall be destroyed by the Trustee.
(d) So long as Definitive Certificates have not been issued, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall not have any liability for
any aspect of the records relating to or payment on account of Certificate
Owners, for monitoring or restricting any transfer of beneficial ownership in a
Book-Entry Certificate or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records
relating to Certificate Owners.
Section 6.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the Trustee receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer 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 written notice to the
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by
a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, countersign and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the
issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 6.03, the Trustee may require
the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the
fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) connected
therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as
if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.
Section 6.04. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is
registered in the Certificate Register as the owner of such Certificate for the
purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 5.01 and for all other
purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.
Section 6.05. Appointment of Paying Agent. The Trustee is empowered
to appoint a Paying Agent meeting the eligibility requirements set forth under
Section 9.06 for the purpose of
- 45 -
making distributions to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.01; provided
that prior to any such appointment (other than the appointment of the Trustee as
Paying Agent) the Trustee shall first have received a letter from each Rating
Agency to the effect that the appointment of such Paying Agent will not result
in the reduction, suspension or withdrawal of the rating given the Class (_),
Class (_) or Class (_) Certificates by such Rating Agency. The Trustee hereby
initially appoints itself as Paying Agent. In the event of any appointment by
the Trustee of a Person other than itself as Paying Agent, on or prior to the
Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date, the Master Servicer, as
agent of the Trustee, shall, to the extent received by the Master Servicer,
deposit or cause to be deposited with such Paying Agent a sum sufficient to make
the payments to Certificateholders in the amounts and in the manner provided for
in Section 5.01, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of
Certificateholders.
The Trustee shall cause any Paying Agent other than itself to execute
and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree
with the Trustee that such Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the
payment to Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders
entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders or
withheld pursuant to the Code.
Section 6.06. Restrictions on Transfer of Class (_) and Class (_)
Certificates. (a) The Class (_) and Class (_) Certificates shall be assigned or
transferred only in accordance with this Section 6.06. Each Person who has or
who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class (_) or Class (_) Certificate that
is a Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of
such Ownership Interest to have made the representation set forth in clause (b)
below and otherwise to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Section
6.06. Any assignment and Transfer shall be made directly to the Person that is
the principal in the transaction and not to a nominee or agent for such
principal.
(b) Each of Class (_) and Class (_) Certificates that is a Definitive
Certificate shall state that the Transferee thereof is deemed by the acceptance
or acquisition of such Certificate to represent that such Transferee is not an
employee benefit plan or a collective investment fund or insurance company
account which is treated as holding "plan assets" subject to ERISA, or section
4975 of the Code, or a trustee or any other Person acting on behalf of any such
plan.
(c) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a
Class (_) or Class (_) Certificate in violation of the provisions of this
Section 6.06 shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported Transferee. If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a
Class (_) or Class (_) Certificate in violation of the provisions of this
Section 6.06, then, upon discovery by or due notification of the Trustee that
the registration of Transfer of such Ownership Interest in a Class (_) or Class
(_) Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 6.06, the last
preceding Holder that is a permitted Holder shall be restored to all rights as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such
Ownership Interest in the related Class (_) or Class (_) Certificate. Absent
negligence or willful misconduct, the Trustee shall be under no liability to any
Person for any registration of Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class (_)
or Class (_) Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.06 or
for making any distributions in respect of such Class (_) or Class (_)
Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to
such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement.
- 46 -
Section 6.07. Restrictions on Transfer of Class (_) Certificates. (a)
The Class (_) Certificates shall be assigned or transferred only in accordance
with this Section 6.07. Such assignment and Transfer shall be made directly to
the Person that is the principal in the transaction and not to a nominee or
agent for such principal.
(b) No registration of Transfer of a Class (_) Certificate shall be
made unless such Transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance
with the Securities Act and such laws. In the event registration of such a
Transfer is to be made within three years from the date of the initial issuance
of Certificates pursuant hereto, (i) the Trustee or the Master Servicer may
require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Master Servicer that such Transfer may be made pursuant to
an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from
the Securities Act and state securities laws or is being made pursuant to the
Securities Act and such laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Trustee or the Master Servicer, and (ii) the Trustee shall require the
Transferee to execute an investment letter acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer certifying to the Trustee and the
Master Servicer the facts surrounding such Transfer, which investment letter
shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Master Servicer. The Holder of a
Class (_) Certificate desiring to effect such registration of Transfer shall,
and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee 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 registration of Transfer of a Class (_) Certificate shall be
made unless the Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation letter
from the Transferee of such Class (_) Certificate, acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer, to the effect that such
Transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or section 4975 of
the Code, or a trustee or any other Person acting on behalf of any such plan,
which representation letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Master
Servicer, or (ii) in the case of any such Class (_) Certificate presented for
registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or section
4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a
trustee or any other Person acting on behalf of any such plan, an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to the Master Servicer to the effect that the purchase or
holding of such Class (_) Certificate will not result in the assets of the Trust
Fund being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction
provisions as well as the fiduciary provisions of ERISA and the Code and will
not subject the Trustee or the Master Servicer to any obligation in addition to
those undertaken in this Agreement, which representation letter or Opinion of
Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Master Servicer.
(d) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Class (_) Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably appointed the Master Servicer or its designee as its
attorney-in-fact to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (vi)
below and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other things
necessary in connection with any such sale, and the rights of each Person
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class (_) Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
- 47 -
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Class (_) Certificate shall not be a Disqualified
Organization and shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the
Trustee of any change or impending change in its status.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Class (_)
Certificate may be transferred without the express written consent of
the Trustee. In connection with any proposed registration of Transfer
of any Ownership Interest in a Class (_) Certificate, the Trustee
shall, as a condition to such consent, require delivery to it, in form
and substance satisfactory to it, each of the following:
A. an affidavit from the proposed Transferee to
the effect that such Transferee is not a Disqualified
Organization and that it is not acquiring its Ownership
Interest in a Class (_) Certificate that is the subject of
the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for
any Person who is a Disqualified Organization; and
B. a covenant of the proposed Transferee to the
effect that the proposed Transferee agrees to be bound
and to abide by the Transfer restrictions applicable
to a Class (_) Certificate.
(iii) Notwithstanding the delivery of the items
described in clause (ii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is a Disqualified
Organization, no registration of Transfer of any Ownership Interest in
a Class (_) Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected;
provided that the Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether
any proposed Transferee is a Disqualified Organization.
(iv) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Class (_) Certificate shall agree (A) to require delivery
of the items described in clause (ii) above from any other Person to
whom such Person attempts to transfer any Ownership Interest in a Class
(_) Certificate and (B) not to transfer any Ownership Interest in a
Class (_) Certificate or to cause the Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Class (_) Certificate to any other Person if it has
actual knowledge that such Person is a Disqualified Organization.
(v) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any
Ownership Interest in a Class (_) Certificate in violation of the
provisions of this Section 6.07 shall be absolutely null and void and
shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported
Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class (_) Certificate in
violation of the provisions of this Section 6.07, then, upon discovery
by or due notification of the Trustee that the registration of Transfer
of such Ownership Interest in a Class (_) Certificate was not in fact
permitted by this Section 6.07, the last preceding Holder that is not a
Disqualified Organization shall be restored to all rights as Holder
thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such
Ownership Interest in the related Class (_) Certificate. The Trustee
shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class (_) Certificate that is in
fact not permitted by this Section 6.07 or for making any distributions
in respect of such Class (_) Certificate to the Holder thereof or
taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the
provisions of this Agreement absent negligence or willful misconduct.
The
- 48 -
Trustee shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Class (_)
Certificate that was in fact a Disqualified Organization at the time it
became Holder all distributions made in respect of such Class (_)
Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Trustee shall
be distributed and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding
Holder of such Class (_) Certificate that is not a Disqualified
Organization.
(vi) If any Disqualified Organization acquires any
Ownership Interest in a Class (_) Certificate in violation of the
restrictions in this Section 6.07, then the Master Servicer shall have
the right, without notice to the Holder of such Class (_) Certificate
or any other Person having an Ownership Interest therein, to sell such
Class (_) Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Master Servicer on
such terms as the Master Servicer may choose. Such purchaser may be the
Master Servicer itself or any affiliate of the Master Servicer that is
not a Disqualified Organization. The proceeds of such sale, net of
commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Master
Servicer or its affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be
remitted by the Trustee to the last preceding Holder of such Class (_)
Certificate that is not a Disqualified Organization, except that in the
event that the Trustee determines that the Holder of such Class (_)
Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section 6.07 or
any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer may
withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for
such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (vi)
shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Master Servicer, and
it shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in
such Class (_) Certificate as a result of its exercise of such
discretion.
Section 6.08. Actions of Certificateholders. (a) Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by
this Agreement to be given or taken by Certificateholders may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
such Certificateholders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and
except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and,
when required, to the Depositor or the Master Servicer. Proof of execution of
any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be
sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the
Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer, if made in the manner provided
in this Section.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Certificateholder of any
such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner that the
Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other act by a Certificateholder shall bind every Holder of every
Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, or omitted to be done,
by the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer in reliance thereon,
whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.
(d) The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter
referred to in this Section 6.08 as it shall deem necessary.

Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Master Servicer or any such Person against any liability
which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
gross negligence in the performance of duties of the Master Servicer or by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties of the Master Servicer
hereunder. The Master Servicer and any director or officer or employee or agent
of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima

the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action which
it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement, and the rights
and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection
with any such action shall be losses, liabilities and expenses of the Trust Fund
and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor only from
amounts otherwise distributable to Holders of the Class (_) Certificates on any
subsequent Distribution Date (to the extent the Master Servicer has not
previously been reimbursed or indemnified therefor). The Master Servicer's right
to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section 7.03 shall survive any

arising prior to such resignation or termination (or arising from events that
occurred prior to such resignation or termination).
Section 7.04. Master Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions
of Section 7.02, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance

the Trustee in writing and such proposed successor servicer is reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee; (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered a letter
to the Trustee stating that the appointment of such proposed successor master
servicer as Master Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction or
withdrawal of the then-current rating of any rated Class of Certificates; and
such proposed successor master servicer has agreed in writing to assume the
obligations of Master Servicer hereunder and the Master Servicer has delivered
to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that all conditions precedent
to the resignation of the Master Servicer and the appointment of and acceptance
by the proposed successor master servicer have been satisfied; provided,
however, that in the case of clause (i) above no such resignation shall become
effective until the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer shall have assumed
the Master Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in accordance
with Section 8.02. Any such resignation shall not relieve the Master Servicer of
responsibility for any of the obligations specified in Sections 8.01 and 8.02 as

be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee.

accordance with standards comparable to those with which the Master Servicer
complies pursuant to Section 3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve the Master
Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties and
shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 7.04. The
Master Servicer shall provide each Rating Agency and the Trustee with written
notice prior to the delegation of any of its duties to any Person other than any
of the Master Servicer's Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns.

Trust Percentage of the __________ Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be
vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section 8.01; and, without
limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any

or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Trust

all necessary
- 52 -
documentation and all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Master
Servicer and credited by it to the __________ Loan Payment Record, or that have
been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Certificate Account or thereafter

presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses.
Section 8.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) On and
after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to

and duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 2.04 shall not
terminate; provided, further, that any liability of the Trustee in its capacity
as successor master servicer shall be limited to the extent such liability
results from an inability to fulfill its responsibilities and duties as
successor master servicer due to any failure on the part of the original Master
Servicer to deliver the documentation and cash amounts referred to in Section
8.01 or otherwise fulfill its obligations hereunder. As compensation therefor,
the Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the Master Servicer would
have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given,
including, without limitation, any investment earnings on any Permitted
Investments hereunder to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled.

shall agree). The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
The appointment of a successor Master Servicer, including the Trustee, shall not
affect any liability of a predecessor Master Servicer that may have arisen under
this Agreement prior to its termination as Master Servicer (including, without
limitation, any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant to Section 3.04),
nor shall any successor Master Servicer, including the Trustee, be liable for
any acts or omissions of any predecessor Master Servicer or for any breach by
such predecessor Master Servicer or the Depositor of any of their
representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document or
agreement.
(b) Any successor to the Master Servicer as master servicer, including
the Trustee, shall, during the term of its service as master servicer (i)
continue to service and administer the ___________ Loans for the benefit of
Certificateholders, and, retain any amounts representing prepayment
- 53 -
premiums, fees or late charge penalties or for application towards taxes,
insurance premiums, assessments and similar items, and payments representing

may, on behalf of all Holders of Certificates, waive any default by the Master
Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences,
except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from the
Certificate Account in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a
past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of
this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default
or impair any right consequent thereon.
ARTICLE IX
THE TRUSTEE
Section 9.01. Duties of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence
of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may
have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Default has occurred
(which has not been cured) and is actually known to a Responsible Officer, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
own affairs.
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 to the Trustee pursuant
to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual
knowledge, and after the curing of all such Events of Default which may
have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not be liable
- 54 -
except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and,
in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this Agreement;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee,
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to
any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith
in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Certificates of any
Class affected thereby, evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 51% 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 charged with knowledge
of any failure by the Master Servicer to comply with the obligations of
the Master Servicer referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 8.01
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust
Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives
written notice of such failure from the Master Servicer or the Holders
of Certificates of any Class affected thereby, evidencing, as to such
Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51%.
The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and
none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require
the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any
of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, except during
such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with
the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 9.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 9.01:
(i) the Trustee may request and conclusively rely
upon, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon,
any resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or any
other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties;
(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 reliance thereon;
(iii) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement
(except its obligation to act as successor Master
- 55 -
Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02), 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; the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act
enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the
Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or bad
faith in the performance of any such act; nothing contained herein
shall, however, relieve the Trustee of its obligations, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been cured), to
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement,
and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of his own affairs;
(iv) the Trustee shall not be 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 an Event of Default
and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred,
the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts
or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
bond or other paper or documents, unless requested in writing to do so
by Holders of Certificates of any Class affected thereby, evidencing,
as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51%;
provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the
Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by
it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the
Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded
to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a
condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such
examination shall be paid by the Master Servicer or, if paid by the
Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Master Servicer upon demand.
Nothing in this clause (v) shall derogate from the obligation of the
Master Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of
information regarding the Mortgagors;
(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 or a custodian; and
(vii) for purposes of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of any event or fact
until such time as a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge of such event or fact or the Trustee receives written notice
of such event or fact from the Master Servicer or the Holders of
Certificates of any Class affected thereby, evidencing, as to such
Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51%.
Section 9.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or __________ Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature

Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Master
Servicer or any Originator in respect of the __________ Loans or deposited in
or withdrawn from the Certificate Account by the Master Servicer. The Trustee
shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the
legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any __________ Loan,
or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such
perfection or priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust
Fund or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to
Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the
existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and
enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall
assume the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02); the
existence and content of any __________ Loan on any computer or other record
thereof (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02); the validity of the assignment of any ____

of any __________ Loan; the performance or enforcement of any __________ Loan

Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any
related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to
the Trustee's receipt of notice or other discovery of any non-compliance
therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies by or at the direction
of the Master Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom, it being understood that
the Trustee shall remain responsible for any Trust Fund property that it may
hold in its individual capacity; the acts or omissions of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master

of the Master Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the
master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02), any Subservicer, or any custodian of
the Mortgage Files taken in the name of the Trustee; the failure of the Master
Servicer, any Subservicer, or any custodian of the Mortgage Files to act or
perform any duties required of it as agent of the Trustee hereunder; or any
action by the Trustee taken at the instruction of the Master Servicer (other
than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 8.02); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the
Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this Agreement or from any
liability for its failure to so perform. The Trustee shall not be liable or
accountable for the acts, omissions, misconduct or negligence of any Originator
acting in its capacity as custodian of any Mortgage Files hereunder. The Trustee
shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement
in any public office at any time or otherwise to perfect or maintain the

any Securities and Exchange Commission filing for the Trust Fund or to record
this Agreement.
Section 9.04. Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates
and transact banking and trust business with the Master Servicer, the

Section 9.05. Master Servicer to Pay Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The
Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time,
and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not
be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of

harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses,
including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or

Section 9.07. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at any

If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 9.06 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee shall be
legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a 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

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.07 shall
not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as

Section 9.08. Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed as
provided in Section 9.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Master
Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee an
- 58 -
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 like effect as if originally named as Trustee. The Master
Servicer, the predecessor Trustee and the successor Trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required
for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations.
Each successor Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Master
Servicer reasonable compensation for services rendered, and payment and
reimbursement for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances, as more
specifically set forth in Section 9.05 hereof and according to the same standard

this Section 9.08, the Master Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of
such Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as

of Section 9.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 9.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Fund or any Mortgaged Property may at the time be located, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by
the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and
to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may
consider necessary or desirable. The Master Servicer shall not unreasonably
refrain from joining with the Trustee in executing and delivering such
instruments, and if the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such
appointment within ___ days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in
case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee
alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate
trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor trustee under Section 9.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 9.08. The Trustee shall notify Xxxxx'x of any appointment of a
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder. The Trustee shall remain liable
hereunder for any actions delegated
- 59 -
to a co-trustee or separate trustee despite such delegation. The Master Servicer
shall be responsible for the fees of any co-trustee or separate trustee
appointed hereunder.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) 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 (it being understood that such separate
trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the
Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law
of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be
performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master
Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties
and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or
any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at
the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be held personally
liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder;
and
(iii) the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting
jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any
separate trustee or co-trustee, except that following the occurrence of
an Event of Default that has not been cured, the Trustee acting alone
may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate
trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article IX. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of
the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in
its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as
may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Master Servicer.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
Section 9.11. Tax Returns. The Trustee, upon request, will furnish the

TERMINATION
Section 10.01. Termination Upon Purchase by the Master Servicer or
Liquidation of All ___________ Loans. (a) Subject to Section 10.02, the
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer and the
Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain

obligations of the Master Servicer under Section 9.05 and to send certain
notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon the last action required

the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the
death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late
ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date
hereof.
(b) The Master Servicer (i) may at its option purchase all ___________
Loans pursuant to clause (i) of Section 10.01(a) on any Distribution Date upon
which the Pool Balance immediately prior to such Distribution Date shall be
equal to or less than _____ percent (___%) of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance and
(ii) should the Trust Balances of any __________ Loans remain outstanding on
the Distribution Date in _____ 20__ shall purchase all such Trust Balances on
such Distribution Date, in each case at a price equal to the greatest of (x) the
aggregate of the Loan Balances of the __________ Loans as of the first day of
the Collection Period applicable to such final Distribution Date, plus one
month's interest at the applicable Net Loan Rate on the Loan Balance of each
__________ Loan (including any Foreclosed __________ Loans), (y) the aggregate
fair market value (as determined by the Master Servicer 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 clause (c)
of this Section 10.01) of all of the assets of the Trust Fund, and (z) the sum
of (1) the Class (_) Certificate Balance together with any Class (_) Unpaid
Interest Shortfall and
- 61 -
interest accrued during the related Accrual Period thereon at the Class (_)
Pass-Through Rate, (2) the Class (_) Certificate Balance together with any Class
(_) Unpaid Interest Shortfall and interest accrued during the related Accrual
Period thereon at the Class (_) Pass-Through Rate and (3) the Class (_)
Certificate Balance together with any Class (_) Unpaid Interest Shortfall and
interest accrued during the related Accrual Period thereon at the Class (_)
Pass-Through Rate (the greatest of (x), (y) and (z) being referred to herein as
the "Pool Purchase Price"). In connection with such purchase, the Master
Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the certification required by Section 3.07
and the Trustee shall, promptly following payment of the Pool Purchase Price,
execute proper instruments acknowledging termination and discharge of this
Agreement. Any obligation of the Master Servicer to so purchase each ___________
Loan as provided herein shall be solely that of the original Master Servicer and
shall survive any resignation or termination of the original Master Servicer
hereunder.
If for any reason the Master Servicer fails to make the purchase
required by clause (ii) of Section 10.01(b), then in accordance with such
procedures as the Trustee in its sole judgment shall deem appropriate, the
Trustee shall conduct an auction (the "Final Auction") of the assets of the
Trust Fund (other than amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account) in order
to effect a termination of the Trust Fund promptly thereafter. The Master
Servicer or any Affiliate thereof may bid at such Final Auction but shall not be
required to do so. The Trustee shall sell and transfer the assets of the Trust
Fund, without recourse, to the highest bidder therefor at the Final Auction and
shall deposit the purchase price therefor, less all expenses of the Final
Auction, including all reasonable fees and expenses of any third parties engaged
by the Trustee to assist in the Final Auction process, in the Certificate
Account.
(c) Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date (which
shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment
of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the
Trustee (upon receipt of written directions from the Master Servicer, if the
Master Servicer is purchasing the assets of the Trust Fund, which direction
shall be received not later than the first day of the month preceding the month
of such final distribution date) by letter to Certificateholders mailed not
earlier than the 15th day and not later than the ___th day of the month next
preceding the month of such final distribution specifying (i) the Distribution
Date upon which final distribution of the Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the
Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final distribution and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. In the
event written directions are delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee as
described in the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the
Certificate Account on or before the Distribution Date for such final
distribution in immediately available funds an amount which, when added to the
amount on deposit in the Certificate Account, will be equal to the purchase
price for the assets of the Trust Fund computed as above provided. Such deposit
shall be in lieu of the deposit otherwise required to be made in respect of such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.02.
(d) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall, to the extent of funds available in the Certificate Account cause to be
distributed to Certificateholders on the Distribution Date for such final
distribution in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests
- 62 -

Class (_) Certificate Balance together with any Class (_) Unpaid Interest
Shortfall plus interest accrued during the related Accrual Period at the Class
(_) Pass-Through Rate on such amounts, (ii) in the case of the Class (_)
Certificates, the Class (_) Certificate Balance together with any Class (_)
Unpaid Interest Shortfall plus interest accrued during the related Accrual
Period at the Class (_) Pass-Through Rate on such amounts and (iii) in the case
of Holders of the Class (_) Certificates, the Class (_) Certificate Balance
together with any Class (_) Unpaid Interest Shortfall plus interest accrued
during the related Accrual Period at the Class (_) Pass-Through Rate on such
amounts. Upon such termination, any amounts remaining on deposit in the
Certificate Account (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after
application pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be distributed to Holders
of the Class (_) Certificates in proportion to their respective Percentage
Interests therein. The distribution on such final Distribution Date shall be in
lieu of the distribution otherwise required to be made on such Distribution Date
in respect of each Class of Certificates.
(e) In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before such final
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in the
Certificate Account not distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders
to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Certificateholders by
depositing such funds in a separate escrow account (which shall be an Eligible
Account) for the benefit of such Certificateholders and the Master Servicer (if
the Master Servicer has exercised its right to repurchase the assets of the
Trust Fund), or the Trustee (in any other case) and shall give a second written
notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If, within
the period then specified in the escheat laws of the State of New York after
such notice, such amount remains unclaimed, the Holders of the Class (_)
Certificates shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets which
remain subject hereto and the Trustee upon transfer of such funds shall be
discharged of any responsibility for such funds, and the Certificateholders
shall look to the Holder of the Class (_) Certificates for payment.
Section 10.02. Additional Termination Requirements. (a) In the event of
a purchase by the Master Servicer or sale of the ____________ Loans as provided
in Section 10.01(b), the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the
following additional requirements, [unless the Trustee has received an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the
requirements of this Section 10.02 will not (i) result in the imposition of
taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust Fund as defined in section 860F
of the Code, or (ii) cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding:]
(i) within ___ days prior to the final Distribution
Date, Holders of the Class (_) Certificates shall adopt a plan of
complete liquidation of the Trust Fund; and
(ii) at or after the time of adoption of such a plan
of complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date,
the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the
Master Servicer for cash in an amount equal to the Pool Purchase Price;
provided, however, that in the event that a calendar quarter ends after
the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation but prior
to such final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall not sell any of the
assets of the Trust Fund prior to the close of that calendar quarter.
- 63 -
(b) By its acceptance of a Class (_) Certificate, a Holder thereof
hereby agrees to adopt such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written
request of the Master Servicer and to take such other action in connection
therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Master Servicer.

necessary or appropriate to maintain such qualification or avoid any such tax or
minimize the risk of its imposition, or (ii) prevent the Trust Fund from
entering into any "prohibited transaction" as defined in section 860F of the

consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance
thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to
such reasonable requirements as the Trustee may prescribe. The Master Servicer

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement, and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement, at
any time by the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of (x) any
Servicer LOC Issuer if its rights are materially and adversely affected and (y)
Holders of Certificates of each Class affected thereby, evidencing, as to such
Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51%. Any such consent by
the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder
and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of

of New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized denominations,
if applicable, and evidencing the same aggregate fractional undivided interest
in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of a like Class in authorized denominations
(in the case of the Certificates) and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment by the Holder of this Certificate
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection therewith.
The Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any
agent of 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the
Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the
Certificateholders, or provision therefor, in accordance with the Agreement upon
(i) the purchase by the Master Servicer or the sale by the Trustee of the Trust

Master Servicer, and (ii) the Trustee shall require the Transferee to execute an
investment letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Master Servicer certifying the facts surrounding such Transfer, which investment
letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Master Servicer. The Holder
hereof desiring to effect such Transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee and the Master Servicer and any Paying Agent acting on
behalf of the Trustee 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.
D-4
No Transfer of a Class (_) Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee
shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the Transferee of
such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Master Servicer, to the effect that such Transferee is not an
employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or section 4975 of the Code, nor a trustee or any
other Person acting on behalf of any such plan, which representation letter
shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Master Servicer, or (ii) in the
case of such Certificate being presented for registration in the name of an
employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or section 4975 of the Code (or
comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee or any other
Person acting on behalf of any such plan, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to
the Trustee and the Master Servicer to the effect that the purchase or holding
of such Certificate will not result in the assets of the Trust Fund being deemed
to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions as well
as the fiduciary provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the
Trustee or the Master Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken
in the Agreement, which representation letter or Opinion of Counsel shall not be
an expense of the Trustee or the Master Servicer.
Any purported Transfer of a Class (_) Certificate in violation of the
restriction on Transfer will be null and void and vest no rights in the
purported Transferee.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of Transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any
agent of 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 Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement and the
Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the
Certificateholders, or provision therefor, in accordance with the Agreement upon
(i) the purchase by the Master Servicer or the sale by the Trustee of the Trust
Balance of each ___________ Loan and all property acquired in respect of any
__________ Loan remaining in the Trust Fund at a price determined as provided
in the Agreement or (ii) the later of the final payment or other liquidation of
the Loan Balance of the last __________ Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the
disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure of any __________ Loan. The Master Servicer (i) may, at its option,
purchase the Trust Balance of each __________ Loan and property in respect of
any __________ Loan on any Distribution Date of which the Pool Balance is equal
to or less than _____ percent (___%) of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance and (ii)
should the Trust Balances of any ____________ Loans remain outstanding on the
Distribution Date in _______________, ____, shall purchase all such Trust
Balances pursuant to the Agreement, which purchase will result in retirement of
the Certificates. If the Master Servicer fails for any reason to purchase the
Trust Balances of the ___________ Loans on the ______________________, ____
Distribution Date, then the Trustee shall conduct an auction of the assets of
the Trust Fund (other than amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account) in
order to effect a termination of the Trust promptly thereafter.
