this Section 3.03, that such Paying Agent will:
(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts

any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to

thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for
payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer),
and all liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture
Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
shall at the expense and direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in
an Authorized Newspaper published in the English language, notice that such
money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall
not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. The Indenture
Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense and direction of the Issuer,

limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders whose Notes have been
called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or
interest in monies due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the
records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent, at the last address of
record for each such Holder).
Section 3.04. EXISTENCE. The Issuer will keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a business trust under the laws of the State
of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes,
organized under the laws of any other state or of the United States of America,
in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and
preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such

enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Mortgage Loans and each other
instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.

Indenture Trustee shall pay to the Noteholders, the Certificate Paying Agent, on
behalf of the Certificateholders, and to other Persons the amounts to which they

which the Funding Period ends, to the Noteholders as principal on the
Notes the applicable Security Percentage of the amount deposited from
the Funding Account in respect of Security Principal Collections;
(iii) to the Noteholders, as principal on the Notes, from
the amount remaining on deposit in the Payment Account, up to the

(x) to reimburse the Administrator for expenditures
made on behalf of the Issuer with respect to the performance of its
duties under the Indenture; and
(xi) any remaining amount, to the Certificate Paying
Agent, on behalf of the Certificates.
7
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in the event that on a Payment Date a Credit Enhancer Default
shall have occurred and be continuing then the priorities of distributions
described above will be adjusted such that payments of the Certificate
Distribution Amount and all other amounts to be paid to the Certificate Paying
Agent will not be paid until the full amount of interest and principal in
accordance with clauses (i), (x) and (ii) through (iv) above that are due on the
Notes on such Payment Date have been paid and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that on the
Final Scheduled Payment Date or other final Payment Date, the amount to be paid
pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be equal to the Security Balances of the
Securities immediately prior to such Payment Date.
On each Payment Date, the Certificate Paying Agent shall deposit in the
Certificate Distribution Account all amounts it received pursuant to this
Section 3.05 for the purpose of distributing such funds to the
Certificateholders.
The amounts paid to Noteholders shall be paid to each Class in
accordance with the Class Percentage as set forth in paragraph (b) below.
Interest will accrue on the Notes during an Interest Period on the basis of the
actual number of days in such Interest Period and a year assumed to consist of
360 days.
[Any installment of interest or principal, if any, payable on any Note
or Certificate that is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Issuer on the
applicable Payment Date shall, if such Holder holds Notes or Certificates of an
aggregate initial Principal Balance of at least $1,000,000, be paid to each
Holder of record on the preceding Record Date, by wire transfer to an account
specified in writing by such Holder reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee as of the preceding Record Date or in all other cases or if no such
instructions have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee, by check to such
Noteholder mailed to such Holder's address as it appears in the Note Register
the amount required to be distributed to such Holder on such Payment Date
pursuant to such Holder's Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Indenture
Trustee shall not pay to such Holders any amount required to be withheld from a
payment to such Holder by the Code.]
(b) The principal of each Note shall be due and payable in full on the
Final Scheduled Payment Date for such Note as provided in the form of Note set
forth in Exhibit A. All principal payments on each Class of Notes shall be made
to the Noteholders of such Class entitled thereto in accordance with the
Percentage Interests represented by such Notes. Upon notice to the Indenture
Trustee by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose
name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding
the Final Scheduled Payment Date or other final Payment Date. Such notice shall
be mailed no later than five Business Days prior to such Final Scheduled Payment
Date or other final Payment Date and shall specify that payment of the principal
amount and any interest due with respect to such Note at the Final Scheduled
Payment Date or other final Payment Date will be payable only upon presentation
and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such Note may be
presented and surrendered for such final payment.

ARTICLE IV
The Notes; Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture
Section 4.01. THE NOTES. The Notes shall be registered in the name of a
nominee designated by the Depository. Beneficial Owners will hold interests in
the Notes through the book-entry facilities of the Depository in minimum initial
Principal Balances of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Indenture Trustee may for all purposes (including the making of
payments due on the Notes) deal with the Depository as the authorized
representative of the Beneficial Owners with respect to the Notes for the
purposes of exercising the rights of Holders of Notes hereunder. Except as
provided in the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 4.01, the rights of
Beneficial Owners with respect to the Notes shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the
Depository and Depository Participants. Except as provided in Section 4.08,
Beneficial Owners shall not be entitled to definitive certificates for the Notes
as to which they are the Beneficial Owners. Requests and directions from, and
votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Notes shall not be deemed inconsistent
if they are made with respect to different Beneficial Owners. The Indenture
Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations
of consents from or voting by Noteholders and give notice to the Depository of
such record date. Without the consent of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee,
no Note may be transferred by the Depository except to a successor Depository
that agrees to hold such Note for the account of the Beneficial Owners.
In the event the Depository Trust Company resigns or is removed as
Depository, the Indenture Trustee with the approval of the Issuer may appoint a
successor Depository. If no successor Depository has been appointed within 30
days of the effective date of the Depository's resignation or removal, each
Beneficial Owner shall be entitled to certificates representing the Notes it
beneficially owns in the manner prescribed in Section 4.08.
The Notes shall, on original issue, be executed on behalf of the Issuer
by the Owner Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner
Trustee, authenticated by the Note Registrar and delivered by the Indenture
Trustee to or upon the order of the Issuer.
Section 4.02. REGISTRATION OF AND LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE
OF NOTES; APPOINTMENT OF CERTIFICATE REGISTRAR. The Issuer shall cause to be
kept at its Corporate Trust Office a Note Register in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall provide for
the registration of Notes and of transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein
provided.
Subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth below, upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the Corporate Trust
Office, the Indenture Trustee shall execute and the Note Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Notes in authorized initial Security Balances
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interests.
17
Subject to the foregoing, at the option of the Noteholders, Notes may
be exchanged for other Notes of like tenor or, in each case in authorized
initial Principal Balances evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interests
upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Note Registrar. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the
Indenture Trustee shall execute and the Note Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. Each Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall (if so required by the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed by a commercial bank or
trust company located or having a correspondent located in the city of New York.
Notes delivered upon any such transfer or exchange will evidence the same
obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the
Notes surrendered.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Notes, but the Note Registrar shall require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes.
All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall
be cancelled by the Note Registrar and delivered to the Indenture Trustee for
subsequent destruction without liability on the part of either.
The Issuer hereby appoints __________________________________ as
Certificate Registrar to keep at its Corporate Trust Office a Certificate
Register pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Trust Agreement in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges
thereof pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Trust Agreement.
__________________________________ hereby accepts such appointment.
Section 4.03. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN NOTES. If (i) any
mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or
indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note Registrar or
the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, the
Issuer shall execute, and upon its request the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of the same Class; provided,
however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated
Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, instead
of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen
Note when so due or payable without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of
such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to
the proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original
Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such
original
18
Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such
replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or
any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such
replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona
fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity
provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by
the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.
Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 4.03, the
Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.
Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 4.03 in
replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 4.03 are exclusive and shall preclude
(to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
Section 4.04. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any

any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such
Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any,
on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be

time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the
Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for
any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 4.05, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes may be held or disposed of by
the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal
policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer
Request that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided however, that such
Issuer Request is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by
the Indenture Trustee.
Section 4.06. BOOK-ENTRY NOTES. The Notes, upon original issuance, will
be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to
be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial Depository, by, or on
behalf of, the Issuer. Such Notes shall initially be registered on the Note
Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the
19
initial Depository, and no Beneficial Owner will receive a Definitive Note
representing such Beneficial Owner's interest in such Note, except as provided
in Section 4.08. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the

4.08:
(i) the provisions of this Section 4.06 shall be in
full force and effect;
(ii) the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall
be entitled to deal with the Depository for all purposes of this
Indenture (including the payment of principal of and interest on the

book-entry transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and
transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to such
Depository Participants; and
(v) whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions
to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes
evidencing a specified percentage of the Security Balances of the
Notes, the Depository shall be deemed to represent such percentage only
to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from
Beneficial Owners and/or Depository Participants owning or
representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial
interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the
Indenture Trustee.
Section 4.07. NOTICES TO DEPOSITORY. Whenever a notice or other
communication to the Note Holders is required under this Indenture, unless and
until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to
Section 4.08, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and
communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Notes to the
Depository, and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners.
Section 4.08. DEFINITIVE NOTES. If (i) the Administrator advises the
Indenture Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Notes and the
Administrator is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Administrator
at its option advises the Indenture 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, Owners of Notes representing beneficial
interests aggregating at least a majority of the Security Balances of the Notes
advise the Depository in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system
through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Beneficial
Owners, then the Depository shall notify all Beneficial Owners and the Indenture
Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
Definitive Notes to Beneficial Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Notes
20
representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Depository, accompanied by registration
instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the
Depository. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture 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 Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.
Section 4.09. TAX TREATMENT. The Issuer has entered into this
Indenture, and the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for federal,
state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes
will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer. The Issuer, by entering into this
Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of its Note (and each
Beneficial Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Book-Entry
Note), agree to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income, single
business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

6.07 and the obligations of the Indenture Trustee under Section 4.11) and (vi)
the rights of Noteholders as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property
so deposited with the Indenture Trustee payable to all or any of them, and the
Indenture Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
with respect to the Notes, when
(A) either
(1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other
than (i) Notes that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that have
been replaced or paid as provided in Section 4.03 and (ii) Notes for
whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or
segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the

Trustee for cancellation
a. have become due and payable,
b. will become due and payable at the Final
Scheduled Payment Date within one year, or
c. have been called for early redemption
pursuant to Section 5.02.
21
and the Issuer, in the case of a. or b. above, has irrevocably
deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Indenture
Trustee cash or direct obligations of or obligations guaranteed by the
United States of America (which will mature prior to the date such

sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes
and Certificates then outstanding not theretofore delivered to the
Indenture Trustee for cancellation when due on the Final Scheduled
Payment Date;
(B) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums
payable hereunder and under the Insurance Agreement by the Issuer; and

Credit Enhancer an Officer's Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel and
each meeting the applicable requirements of Section 10.01 each stating
that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with
and, if the Opinion of Counsel relates to a deposit made in connection
with Section 4.10(A)(2)b. above, such opinion shall further be to the
effect that such deposit will not have any material adverse tax
consequences to the Issuer, any Noteholders or any Certificateholders.
Section 4.11. APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY. All monies deposited with the
Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof shall be held in trust and
applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent or
Certificate Paying Agent, as the Indenture Trustee may determine, to the Holders
of Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and
interest; but such monies need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required herein or required by law.
Section 4.12. SUBROGATION AND COOPERATION. (a) The Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee acknowledge that (i) to the extent the Credit Enhancer makes
payments under the Credit Enhancement Instrument on account of principal of or
interest on the Notes, the Credit Enhancer will be fully subrogated to the
rights of such Holders to receive such principal and interest from the Issuer,
and (ii) the Credit Enhancer shall be paid such principal and interest but only
from the sources and in the manner provided herein and in the Insurance
Agreement for the payment of such principal and interest.
The Indenture Trustee shall cooperate in all respects with any
reasonable request by the Credit Enhancer for action to preserve or enforce the
Credit Enhancer's rights or interest under this Indenture or the Insurance
Agreement without limiting the rights of the Noteholders as otherwise set forth
in the Indenture, including, without limitation, upon the occurrence and
continuance of a default under the Insurance Agreement, a request to take any
one or more of the following actions:
(i) institute Proceedings for the collection of all
amounts then payable on the Notes, or under this Indenture in respect
to the Notes and all amounts payable under the Insurance Agreement
enforce any judgment obtained and collect from the Issuer monies
adjudged due;
22
(ii) sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or
rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private Sales
called and conducted in any manner permitted by law;

protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Credit Enhancer
hereunder.
Section 4.13. REPAYMENT OF MONIES HELD BY PAYING AGENT. In connection
with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes,
all monies then held by any Administrator other than the Indenture Trustee under
the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such Notes shall, upon demand
of the Issuer, be paid to the Indenture Trustee to be held and applied according
to Section 3.05 and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all
further liability with respect to such monies.
Section 4.14. TEMPORARY NOTES. Pending the preparation of any
Definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute and upon its written direction, the
Indenture Trustee may authenticate and make available for delivery, temporary
Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, photocopied or otherwise
produced, in any denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive
Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such
Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.
If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes
to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of the
Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes
upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Indenture
Trustee, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any
one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee
shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange therefor,
Definitive Notes of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate
principal amount. Until so exchanged, such temporary Notes shall in all respects
be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.
23
ARTICLE V
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 5.01. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. "Event of Default," wherever used
herein, shall have the meaning provided in Article I; provided, however, that no
Event of Default will occur under clause (i) or clause (ii) of the definition of
"Event of Default" if the Issuer fails to make payments of principal of and
interest on the Notes so long as the Credit Enhancer makes payments sufficient
therefore under the Credit Enhancement Instrument.
The Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Credit
Enhancer, within five days after learning of the occurrence of an Event of
Default, written notice in the form of an Officer's Certificate of any event
which with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an Event of
Default under clause (iii) of the definition of "Event of Default", its status
and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
Section 5.02. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT. If an
Event of Default should occur and be continuing or if the Master Servicer shall
purchase all of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 8.08 of the Servicing
Agreement, then and in every such case the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of
Notes representing not less than a majority of the Security Balances of all
Notes may declare the Notes to be immediately due and payable, by a notice in
writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by Noteholders),
and upon any such declaration the unpaid principal amount of such Class of
Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of
acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable. Unless the prior written
consent of the Credit Enhancer shall have been obtained by the Indenture
Trustee, the Payment Date upon which such accelerated payment is due and payable
shall not be a Payment Date under the Credit Enhancement Instrument and the
Indenture Trustee shall not be authorized under Section 3.29 to make a draw
therefor.
At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity with
respect to an Event of Default has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as
hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Holders of Notes representing a
majority of the Security Balances of all Notes, by written notice to the Issuer
and the Indenture Trustee, may waive the related Event of Default and rescind
and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
(i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture
Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:
(A) all payments of principal of and interest on the
Notes and all other amounts that would then be due hereunder
or upon the Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such
acceleration had not occurred; and
(B) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture
Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its
agents and counsel; and
24
(ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of
the principal of the Notes that has become due solely by such
acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.12.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any
right consequent thereto.
Section 5.03. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY
INDENTURE TRUSTEE. (a) The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in the
payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and
such default continues for a period of five days, or (ii) default is made in the
payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Note when
the same becomes due and payable, the Issue shall, upon demand of the Indenture
Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of Notes and of the Credit
Enhancer, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and
interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and in addition thereto such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.
(b) In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon
such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, subject to the provisions of Section 10.17 hereof may institute a
Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute
such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against
the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes and collect in the manner provided by
law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor the Notes, wherever
situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.
(c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture
Trustee subject to the provisions of Section 10.17 hereof may, as more
particularly provided in Section 5.04, in its discretion, proceed to protect and
enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders and the Credit Enhancer, by
such appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective
to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any
power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or
equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.
(d) In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other
obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest in
the Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any
other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law,
or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization,
liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or
taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person,
or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer
or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer
or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the
principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall
have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:
25
(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole
amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the
Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee
(including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture
Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective
agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses
and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture
Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of
negligence or bad faith) and of the Noteholders allowed in such
Proceedings;
(ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and
regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of Notes in any election
of a trustee, a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions
in any such Proceedings;
(iii) to collect and receive any monies or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts
received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the
Indenture Trustee on their behalf; and
(iv) to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes allowed in any
judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its
property;
and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official in
any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders to make
payments to the Indenture Trustee, and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee
shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to
the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable
compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and
their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and
liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each
predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith.
(e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture
Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of
any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to
authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election
of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.
(f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture,
or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the
possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other
Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by
the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express
trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses,
disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor
Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.
26
(g) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any
Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to
which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be
held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to
make any Noteholder a party to any such Proceedings.
Section 5.04. REMEDIES; PRIORITIES. (a) If an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee subject to the provisions
of Section 10.17 hereof may do one or more of the following (subject to Section
5.05):
(i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then
payable on the Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto,
whether by declaration or otherwise, and all amounts payable under the
Insurance Agreement, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from
the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes monies adjudged due;
(ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the
complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the
Trust Estate;
(iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the
UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the
rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee, the Holders of the Notes
and the Credit Enhancer; and
(iv) sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or
rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales
called and conducted in any manner permitted by law;
provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise
liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default, unless (A) the
Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Holders of 100% of the aggregate
Principal Balances of the Notes and the Credit Enhancer, which consent will not
be unreasonably withheld, (B) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation
distributable to Holders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then
due and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest and to reimburse the
Credit Enhancer for any amounts drawn under the Credit Enhancement Instrument
and any other amounts due the Credit Enhancer under the Insurance Agreement or
(C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Mortgage Loans will not continue
to provide sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the
Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not been declared due and
payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Credit Enhancer,
which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, and of the Holders of a
majority of the aggregate Principal Balances of the Notes. In determining such
sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C), the Indenture
Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent
investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the
feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Trust
Estate for such purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as an Event of
Servicer Termination has not occurred, any Sale of the Trust Estate shall be
made subject to the continued Servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Master
Servicer as provided in the Servicing Agreement.
27
(b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to
this Article V, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:
FIRST: to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under Section
6.07;
SECOND: to each Class of Noteholders for amounts due and
unpaid on the related Class Notes for interest and to each
Noteholder of such Class in each case, ratably, without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts
due and payable on such Class of Notes for interest from
amounts available in the Trust Estate for such Noteholders;
THIRD: to Holders of each Class of Notes for amounts due and
unpaid on the related Class of Notes for principal, from
amounts available in the Trust Estate for such Noteholders,
and to each Noteholder of such Class in each case ratably,
without preference or priority of any kind, according to the
amounts due and payable on such Class of Notes for principal,
until the Security Balances of each Class of Notes is reduced
to zero;
FOURTH: to the Issuer for amounts required to be distributed
to the Certificateholders in respect of interest and
principal pursuant to the Trust Agreement;
FIFTH: To the payment of all amounts due and owing to the
Credit Enhancer under the Insurance Agreement;
SIXTH: to the Issuer for amounts due under Article VIII of
the Trust Agreement; and
SEVENTH: to the payment of the remainder, if any to the
Issuer or any other person legally entitled thereto.
The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any
payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.04. At least 15 days before
such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder a notice
that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.
Section 5.05. OPTIONAL PRESERVATION OF THE TRUST ESTATE. If the Notes
have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event
of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to take and maintain
possession of the Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the
Noteholders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Notes and other obligations of the Issuer
including payment to the Credit Enhancer, and the Indenture Trustee shall take
such desire into account when determining whether or not to take and maintain
possession of the Trust Estate. In determining whether to take and maintain
possession of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain
and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm
28
of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to
the sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.
Section 5.06. LIMITATION OF SUITS. No Holder of any Note shall have any
right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless and subject to the provisions of Section 10.17 hereof:
(i) such Holder has previously given written notice to
the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
(ii) the Holders of not less than 25% of the Security
Balances of the Notes have made written request to the Indenture
Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of
Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;
(iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture
Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;
(iv) the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt
of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute
such Proceedings; and
(v) no direction inconsistent with such written request
has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by
the Holders of a majority of the Security Balances of the Notes.
It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have
any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision
of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other
Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over
any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided.
In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or
inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes,
each representing less than a majority of the Security Balances of the Notes,
the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any,
shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.
Section 5.07. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHTS OF NOTEHOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL
AND INTEREST. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder
of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or
after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this
Indenture and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and
such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
Section 5.08. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If the Indenture
Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason or has been determined
29
adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such
case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any
determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to
their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such
Proceeding had been instituted.
Section 5.09. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 5.10. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT A WAIVER. No delay or omission of
the Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture
Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders, as
the case may be.
Section 5.11. CONTROL BY NOTEHOLDERS. The Holders of a majority of the
Security Balances of Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture
Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Indenture Trustee; provided that:
(i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any
rule of law or with this Indenture;
(ii) subject to the express terms of Section 5.04, any
direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust
Estate shall be by Holders of Notes representing not less than 100% of
the Security Balances of Notes;
(iii) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have
been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Trust
Estate pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture
Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the Security
Balances of Notes to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no
force and effect; and
(iv) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action
deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with
such direction.
Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section, subject to
Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines
might involve it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of
any Noteholders not consenting to such action.
30
Section 5.12. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. Prior to the declaration of the
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02, the
Holders of Notes of not less than a majority of the Security Balances of the
Notes may waive any past Event of Default and its consequences except an Event
of Default (a) with respect to payment of principal of or interest on any of the
Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note or (c) the
waiver of which would materially and adversely affect the interests of the
Credit Enhancer or modify its obligation under the Credit Enhancement
Instrument. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee
and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and
rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Upon any such waiver, any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this
Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 5.13. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. All parties to this Indenture
agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Xxxxxx's acceptance thereof shall be
deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit
for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit
against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as
Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by
the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of
Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Security
Balances of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the
enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or after
the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture.
Section 5.14. WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS. The Issuer covenants
(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist
upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such
power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 5.15. SALE OF TRUST ESTATE. (a) The power to effect any sale or
other disposition (a "Sale") of any portion of the Trust Estate pursuant to
Section 5.04 is expressly subject to the provisions of Section 5.05 and this
Section 5.15. The power to effect any such Sale shall not be exhausted by any
one or more Sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but

all amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture and under the

entire amount which would be payable to the Noteholders under the Notes and the
Credit Enhancer in respect of amounts drawn under the Credit Enhancement
Instrument and any other amounts due the Credit Enhancer under the Insurance
Agreement, in full payment thereof in accordance with Section 5.02, on the
Payment Date next succeeding the date of such Sale, or
(3) The Indenture Trustee determines, in its sole discretion,
that the conditions for retention of the Trust Estate set forth in Section 5.05
cannot be satisfied (in making any such determination, the Indenture Trustee may
rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm obtained and
delivered as provided in Section 5.05), and the Credit Enhancer consents to such
Sale, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld and the Holders
representing at least 66-2/3% of the Security Balances of the Notes consent to
such Sale.
The purchase by the Indenture Trustee of all or any portion of the Trust Estate
at a private Sale shall not be deemed a Sale or other disposition thereof for
purposes of this Section 5.15(b).
(c) Unless the Holders and the Credit Enhancer have otherwise consented
or directed the Indenture Trustee, at any public Sale of all or any portion of
the Trust Estate at which a minimum bid equal to or greater than the amount
described in paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of this Section 5.15 has not been
established by the Indenture Trustee and no Person bids an amount equal to or
greater than such amount, the Indenture Trustee shall bid an amount at least
$1.00 more than the highest other bid.
(d) In connection with a Sale of all or any portion of the Trust
Estate
(1) any Holder or Holders of Notes may bid for and with the
consent of the Credit Enhancer purchase the property offered for sale, and upon
compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of
such property, without further accountability, and may, in paying the purchase
money therefor, deliver any Notes or claims for interest thereon in lieu of cash
up to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such
sale, be payable thereon, and such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon
shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Holders
thereof after being appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;
(2) the Indenture Trustee may bid for and acquire the property
offered for Sale in connection with any Sale thereof, and, subject to any
requirements of, and to the extent permitted by, applicable law in connection
therewith, may purchase all or any portion of the Trust Estate in a private
sale, and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the
32
purchase price by crediting the gross Sale price against the sum of (A) the
amount which would be distributable to the Holders of the Notes and Holders of
Certificates and amounts owing to the Credit Enhancer as a result of such Sale
in accordance with Section 5.04(b) on the Payment Date next succeeding the date
of such Sale and (B) the expenses of the Sale and of any Proceedings in
connection therewith which are reimbursable to it, without being required to
produce the Notes in order to complete any such Sale or in order for the net
Sale price to be credited against such Notes, and any property so acquired by
the Indenture Trustee shall be held and dealt with by it in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture;
(3) the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an
appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of
the Trust Estate in connection with a Sale thereof;
(4) the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the
agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in
any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take
all action necessary to effect such Sale; and
(5) no purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound
to ascertain the Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of
any conditions precedent or see to the application of any monies.
Section 5.16. ACTION ON NOTES. The Indenture Trustee's right to seek
and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected
by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with
respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or
remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the
recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the
levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate
or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the
Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b).

Seller and the Master Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to
the Issuer under or in connection with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and
the Servicing Agreement, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers
and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the

Seller or the Master Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or
administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the

the Credit Enhancer under the Servicing Agreement may, and at the direction
(which direction shall be in writing or by telephone
33
(confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the Holders of 66-2/3% of the

privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller or the Master Servicer
under or in connection with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the
Servicing Agreement, including the right or power to take any action to compel
or secure performance or observance by the Seller or the Master Servicer, as the
case may be, of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give
any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the

has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights

(f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee
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 it shall have reasonable grounds
35
to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(g) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Indenture Trustee
shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the
TIA.

presented by the proper person. The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any
fact or matter stated in the document.

(e) The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or
opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and

in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good
faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.
Section 6.03. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE. The Indenture
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same
rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Administrator, Note
Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights.
However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12.
Section 6.04. INDENTURE TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER. The Indenture Trustee
shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or

36
Section 6.05. NOTICE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs
and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Credit Enhancer.
The Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Event of Default within
90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of an Event of Default in payment of
principal of or interest on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold the
notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.
Section 6.06. REPORTS BY INDENTURE TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS. The Indenture
Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be required to
enable such holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. In
addition, upon the Issuer's written request, the Indenture Trustee shall
promptly furnish information reasonably requested by the Issuer that is
reasonably available to the Indenture Trustee to enable the Issuer to perform
its federal and state income tax reporting obligations.
Section 6.07. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY. The Issuer shall or shall
cause the Administrator to pay to the Indenture Trustee on each Payment Date
reasonable compensation for its services. The Indenture Trustee's compensation
shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express
trust. The Issuer shall or shall cause the Administrator to reimburse the
Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by
it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its
services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee's agents, counsel,
accountants and experts. The Issuer shall or shall cause the Administrator to
indemnify the Indenture Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration
of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The Indenture Trustee
shall notify the Issuer and the Administrator promptly of any claim for which it
may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and

obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall or shall cause the Administrator to
defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel and
the Issuer shall or shall cause the Administrator to pay the fees and expenses
of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Administrator need reimburse any
expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the
Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee's own willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith.
The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Section 6.07 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the
Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default
specified in Section 5.01(iv) or (v) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses
are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the
United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law.
Section 6.08. REPLACEMENT OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE. No resignation or
removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture

may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer and the Credit Enhancer. The
Holders of a majority of Security Balances of the Notes may remove the
37
Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and the Credit Enhancer
and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the
Indenture Trustee if:
(i)the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11;
(ii)the Indenture Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent;
(iii)a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the
Indenture Trustee or its property; or
(iv)the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.
If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists
in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such
event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer
shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.
A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall become effective,
and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties
of the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Indenture Trustee
shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders. The retiring Indenture
Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Indenture Trustee to
the successor Indenture Trustee.
If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days
after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority of Security Balances
of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.
If the Indenture Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any
Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of
the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.
Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Section, the Issuer's and the Administrator's obligations under Section
6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.
Section 6.09. SUCCESSOR INDENTURE TRUSTEE BY MERGER. If the Indenture
Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation
or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation
without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, that
such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under Section 6.11. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating
Agencies prior written notice of any such transaction.
38
In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion
or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by
this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered,
any such successor to the Indenture Trustee may adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so
authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been
authenticated, any successor to the Indenture Trustee may authenticate such
Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor to the Indenture Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates
shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture
provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.
Section 6.10. APPOINTMENT OF CO-INDENTURE TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE INDENTURE
TRUSTEE. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture
Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate
trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in
such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders,
such title to the Trust Estate, or any part hereof, and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts
as the Indenture Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or
separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as
a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no notice to Noteholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 6.08 hereof.
(b) 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 Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed
upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture 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 Indenture 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 the Indenture 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 Estate 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 Indenture
Trustee;
(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) the Indenture Trustee may at any time accept the

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 VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
39
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Indenture Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with
the Indenture Trustee.
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the
Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.

on a parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of

any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 9.02, the Indenture Trustee
shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental
indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such

Certificate of the Issuer stating that all the dispositions of Collateral
described in clauses (A) or (B) above that occurred during the preceding six
calendar months were in the ordinary course of the Issuer's business and that
the proceeds thereof were applied in accordance with the Basic Documents].
Section 10.02. FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO INDENTURE TRUSTEE. In any
case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an
opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be
certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they
be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify
or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such
Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion
as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may
be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion
of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the
exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate
52
or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his
certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an
Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to
factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an
officer or officers of the Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, stating that
the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the
Seller, the Issuer or the Administrator, unless such counsel knows, or in the
exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.
Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or
certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer
shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application,
or as evidence of the Issuer's compliance with any term hereof, it is intended
that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or
at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the
facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions
precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the
sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be
construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and
accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided
in Article VI.
Section 10.03. ACTS OF NOTEHOLDERS. (a) Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by
this Indenture to be given or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
such Noteholders in person or by agents 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 Indenture Trustee, and, where it
is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and
the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred
to as the "Act" of the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof
of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent
shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section
6.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in
the manner provided in this Section 10.03.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee
deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Registrar.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind the Holder of every
Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu
thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the
Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of
such action is made upon such Note.
53
Section 10.04. NOTICES, ETC., TO INDENTURE TRUSTEE, ISSUER, CREDIT
ENHANCER AND RATING AGENCIES. Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or
permitted by this Indenture shall be in writing and if such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or act of Noteholders is to be
made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:
(i) the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the
Issuer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given,
furnished or filed in writing to or with the Indenture Trustee at the
Corporate Trust Office. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly transmit
any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Issuer, or
(ii) the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any
Noteholder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in
writing and mailed first-class, postage prepaid to the Issuer addressed
to: PaineWebber Mortgage Acceptance Corporation IV Trust Series 199_ -

__________, ______________, Attention of
_________________________________________ with a copy to the
Administrator at ________________ Attention: __________
__________________________, or at any other address previously
furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer or the
Administrator. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received
by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee, or
(iii) the Credit Enhancer by the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee or by any Noteholders shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder to in writing and mailed, first-class postage pre-paid, or
personally delivered or telecopied to: [Name of Credit Enhancer],
________________, ________, _______________, Attention:
_________________, ___________________________, Telephone
______________. Telecopier ______________. The Credit Enhancer shall
promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders to the Issuer or Indenture
Trustee, as the case may be.
Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered
or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to (i) in the case of
[Moody's], at the following address: [Xxxxx'x Investors Service, Inc., ABS
Monitoring Department, 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000] and (ii) in
the case of [Standard & Poor's], at the following address: [Standard & Poor's

Asset Backed Surveillance Department]; or as to each of the foregoing, at such
other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties.
Section 10.05. NOTICES TO NOTEHOLDERS; WAIVER. Where this Indenture
provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such
event, at such Person's as it appears on the Note Register, not later than the
latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving
of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed
to any particular Noteholder shall affect the
54
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice
that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to
have been duly given regardless of whether such notice is in fact actually
received.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may
be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either
before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such
notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Indenture
Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of
any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a
result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical
to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be
given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving
such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to
be a sufficient giving of such notice.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies,
failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations
created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute an Event of
Default.
Section 10.06. ALTERNATE PAYMENT AND NOTICE PROVISIONS. Notwithstanding
any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer
may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of
payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee or any Administrator to such Holder,
that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such
payments or notices. The Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of
each such agreement and the Indenture Trustee shall cause payments to be made
and notices to be given in accordance with such agreements.
Section 10.07. CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. If any provision
hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is
required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.
The provisions of TIA xx.xx. 310 through 317 that impose duties on any
Person (including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless
expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture,
whether or not physically contained herein.
Section 10.08. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Article and Section headings
herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
Section 10.09. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants and agreements in
this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in
this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and agents.
Section 10.10. SEPARABILITY. In case any provision in this Indenture or
in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality,
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.
55
Section 10.11. BENEFITS OF INDENTURE. The Credit Enhancer and its
successors and assigns shall be a third-party beneficiary to the provisions of
this Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied,
shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors
hereunder, and the Noteholders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any
other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any
benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.
Section 10.12. LEGAL HOLIDAYS. In any case where the date on which any
payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other

obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner,
owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable
law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or
failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of

agree that they will not at any time institute against the Depositor or the
Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the Issuer of, any

to cause such books to be audited by Independent certified public accountants,
and to discuss the Issuer's affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer's
officers, employees, and Independent certified public accountants, all at such
reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The Indenture
Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such
