This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated as of December 1, 2000
(the "Agreement"), among GREENWICH CAPITAL ACCEPTANCE, INC., as depositor (the
"Depositor"), GREENWICH CAPITAL FINANCIAL PRODUCTS, INC., as seller (the
"Seller") and BANKERS TRUST COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA, N.A., as trustee (the
"Trustee").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates
(collectively, the "Certificates"), to be issued hereunder in multiple
classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Trust Fund created hereunder. The Certificates will consist of
twelve classes of certificates, designated as (i) the Class A-1 Certificates,
(ii) the Class A-2 Certificates, (iii) the Class A-3 Certificates, (iv) the
Class X-1 Certificates, (v) the Class X-2 Certificates (vi) the Class A-R
Certificate, (vii) the Class B-1 Certificates, (viii) the Class B-2
Certificates, (ix) the Class B-3 Certificates, (x) the Class B-4 Certificates,
(xi) the Class B-5 Certificates and (xii) the Class B-6 Certificates.
For federal income tax purposes, the Trust Fund (exclusive of the
Additional Collateral, the Call Options and the rights associated therewith)
will consist of two REMICs, the Lower Tier REMIC and the Upper Tier REMIC. The
Lower Tier REMIC will consist of all of the assets constituting the Trust Fund
(exclusive of the Additional Collateral, the Call Options and the rights
associated therewith) and will be evidenced by the Lower Tier REMIC Regular
Interests (which will be uncertificated and will represent the "regular
interests" in the Lower Tier REMIC) and the R-1 Interest as the single
"residual interest" in the Lower Tier REMIC. The Trustee will hold the Lower
Tier REMIC Regular Interests. On each Distribution Date, following the
allocation of Realized Losses and payments of principal, each Lower Tier REMIC
Interest will have a principal balance equal to that of its Master REMIC
Corresponding Class. All interests created hereby will be retired on or before
the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
The Upper Tier REMIC will consist of the Lower Tier REMIC Regular
Interests and will be evidenced by the Regular Certificates (which will
represent the "regular interests" in the Upper Tier REMIC) and the R-2
Interest as the single "residual interest" in the Upper Tier REMIC. The Class
A-R Certificate will represent beneficial ownership of the R-1 Interest and
the R-2 Interest. All REMIC regular and residual interests created hereby will
be retired on or before the Latest Possible Maturity Date. In addition to
evidencing a REMIC Regular Interest, each of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class
A-3 and Class B-1 Certificates will represent the related Call Option and the
rights and obligations associated therewith, which shall constitute neither
rights nor obligations of any REMIC created hereunder.
The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the
Uncertificated Lower Tier REMIC Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated
Balance, the Master REMIC Corresponding Class and the allocation of principal
and interest for each of the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests. None of the
Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests will be certificated.

original recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was
executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of
recording thereon or, if such Mortgage or power of attorney has

applicable public recording office, has been lost or is not
otherwise available, a copy of such Mortgage or power of
attorney, as the case may be, certified to be a true and
complete copy of the original submitted for recording;
(iii) in the case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage

In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage
Loan, the Seller agrees that it will cause, at the Seller's expense, the
MERS(R) System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the
Seller to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of the
Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans
that are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files
the information required by the MERS(R) System to identify the series of the
Certificates issued in connection with the transfer of such Mortgage Loans of
the HarborView Mortgage Loan Trust 2000-2.
The Seller shall deliver the required documents to the Trustee prior
to the Closing Date. In the case of the documents referred to in Section
2.01(iii), however, the Seller has delivered a copy of each Assignment of
Mortgage certified by the Seller to be a true and complete copy of the
original and, within two Business Days after the Closing Date, the Seller will
deliver each original Assignment of Mortgage to the applicable public
recording office for recordation.
The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver to the Depositor on or
prior to the Closing Date an acknowledgment of receipt of the original
Mortgage Note (with any exceptions noted), substantially in the form attached
as Exhibit G-3 hereto.
If, as of the Closing Date, any of the documents referred to in
Section 2.01(ii) or (iv) above has been submitted for recording but either (x)
has not been returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has
been lost or such public recording office has retained the original of such
document, the obligations of the Seller to deliver such documents shall be
deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Trustee, no later than the
Closing Date, of a copy of each such document certified by the Seller in the
case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office in the case of (y)
above to be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for
recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Seller, delivery to the
Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof, of either the original or a copy of
such document certified by the applicable public recording office to be a true
and complete copy of the original. If the original lender's title insurance
policy, or a certified copy thereof, was not delivered pursuant to Section
2.01(v) above, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee the original or a copy of a written commitment or interim binder or
preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company,

promptly upon receipt thereof. The Seller shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee, promptly upon receipt thereof, any other documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage
Loan sold to the Depositor by the Seller, including, but not limited to, any
original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage
Loan.
Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective
document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Seller
shall have 90 days to cure such defect or deliver such missing document to the
Trustee. If the Seller does not cure such defect or deliver such missing
document within such time period, the Seller shall either repurchase or
substitute for such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof. The
Seller shall cause the Assignments of Mortgage referred to in Section
2.01(iii) hereof and, to the extent necessary, in Section 2.01(iv) hereof to
be recorded; provided, however, that the Seller need not cause to be recorded
any Assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan in any jurisdiction under the
laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Seller
to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, the recordation of such Assignment is
not necessary to protect the Trustee's interest in the related Mortgage Loan.
The Seller shall be required to deliver such Assignments for recording within
30 days of the Closing Date. The Seller shall furnish the Trustee, or its
designated agent, with a copy of each Assignment of Mortgage submitted for
recording. In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned
unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Seller shall promptly have a
substitute Assignment prepared or have such defect cured, as the case may be,
and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.
The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee an executed copy of
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee.
The Trustee acknowledges the receipt, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.01 and subject to the review described below and any exceptions
noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph below, of the
documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in
the definition of "Trust Fund" and declares that it holds and will hold such
documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage
File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets
included in the definition of "Trust Fund" in trust for the exclusive use and
benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The Trustee further agrees, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to review each Mortgage File delivered to it and to
certify and deliver to the Depositor, each Servicer and each Rating Agency in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-1, within 45 days after
the Closing Date (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup
Day, within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute
Mortgage, within 45 days after the assignment thereof) that, as to each
Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage
Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the
exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification),
(i) all documents required to be delivered to it pursuant Section 2.01 of this
Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it
and have not been mutilated, damaged or torn and relate to such Mortgage Loan
and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items
(i), (ii), (iii), (xiii), (xiv) and (xviii) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule
accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein
acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee is under no duty or
obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable,
or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been
recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall deliver to the Depositor and each Servicer a final certification in the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-2 evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage
Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If, in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or
preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the
Trustee finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File
to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its
review the Trustee shall so notify the Seller, the Depositor and the related
Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Seller or the Depositor (or
upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such breach) of a
breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan that
materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the
related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to this
Agreement.
The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer
herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related
Mortgage Notes and the related documents, conveying good title thereto free
and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee and
that such property not be part of the Depositor's estate or property of the
Depositor in the event of any insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that
such conveyance is deemed to be, or to be made as security for, a loan, the
parties intend that the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted and does
hereby grant to the Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in
all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans,
the related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, and that this Agreement
shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
SECTION 2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the
Seller.
(a) Upon discovery or receipt of written notice of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or
of the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or in Section 2.04 or Section 2.08 hereof
in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value
of that Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the
Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller of such defect, missing document or
breach and request that the Seller deliver such missing document or cure such
defect or breach within 90 days from the date that the Seller was notified of
such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Seller does not deliver
such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects
during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller's obligation under
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and cause the Seller to repurchase that
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or prior to the
Determination Date following the expiration of such 90 day period (subject to
Section 2.03(e) below); provided, however, that, in connection with any such
breach that could not reasonably have been cured within such 90 day period, if
the Seller shall have commenced to cure such breach within such 90 day period,
the Seller shall be permitted to proceed thereafter diligently and
expeditiously to cure the same within the additional period provided under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; and, provided further, that, in the case of
the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Seller in
Section 3.01 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall be
obligated to cure such breach or purchase the affected Mortgage Loans. The
Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the
applicable Collection Account and the Seller shall, upon the making of such
deposit, cause the related Servicer to provide a written certification of
receipt of such deposit to the Trustee. The Trustee, upon receipt of such
written certification, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File
and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in
each case without recourse, as the Seller shall furnish to it and as shall be
necessary to vest in the Seller any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and
the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage
File (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for
determining the sufficiency of such assignment for its intended purpose). In
lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Seller may
cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it
shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 2.03(d) below. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any
Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material defect in a
constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has occurred and is
continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such
omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders.
The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Seller under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement including, without limitation, any obligation
of the Seller to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective
documentation or on account of a breach of a representation, warranty or
covenant as described in this Section 2.03(a).
(b) If pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03(a), the Seller
repurchases or otherwise removes from the Trust Fund a Mortgage Loan that is a
MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall either (i) cause MERS to execute and
deliver an Assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage
from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from
registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance with MERS' rules and
regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS(R) System the Seller
or its designee as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for
Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) above must be effected
prior to the last Business Day that is within two years after the Closing
Date. As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be
effected by the Seller delivering to the Trustee, for such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all
necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01 hereof,
together with an Officers' Certificate stating that each such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the
Substitution Adjustment (as described below), if any, in connection with such
substitution; provided, however, that, in the case of any Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall provide such
documents and take such other action with respect to such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans as are required pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof. The Trustee
shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
and, within 45 days thereafter, shall review such documents as specified in
Section 2.02 hereof and deliver to the related Servicer, with respect to such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-1, with any exceptions noted thereon.
Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver to the
related Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2
hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with
any exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the
Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution,
distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the collections and
recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the Due Period
preceding the month of substitution and the Depositor or the Seller, as the
case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller shall give or
cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders that such
substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to
reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this
Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the
Trustee. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be subject in all
respects to the terms of this Agreement and, in the case of a substitution
effected by the Seller, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, in
the case of a substitution effected by the Seller all representations and
warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and all
representations and warranties thereof set forth in Section 2.04 hereof, in
each case as of the date of substitution.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans that are
serviced by a given Servicer, the Seller shall cause such Servicer to
determine, and provide written certification to the Trustee and the Seller as
to, the amount (each, a "Substitution Adjustment"), if any, by which the
aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the
aggregate, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the
principal balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one
month's interest on such principal balance at the applicable Net Loan Rate. On
the date of such substitution, the Seller will deliver or cause to be
delivered to such Servicer for deposit in the related Collection Account an
amount equal to the related Substitution Adjustment, if any, and the Trustee,
upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and
certification by such Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Seller
the related Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the
Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any
Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver
to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution
(either specifically or as a class of transactions) will not cause (a) any
federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any
federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(l) of
the Code or on "contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(l)
of the Code, or (b) the Upper Tier REMIC or Lower Tier REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. If such
Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such substitution may only be
effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be given.
(e) Upon discovery by the Seller or the Trustee that any Mortgage
Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two
Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection
therewith, the Seller shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of
discovery or receipt of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage
Loan. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as
set forth in Section 2.03(a) above, if made by the Seller. The Trustee shall
reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the
same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan
repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.
SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Seller with
Respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders that, as of the Closing Date or as of such
other date specifically provided herein, the representations and warranties
made by the Seller pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement are hereby being made to the Trustee and are true and correct as of
the Closing Date.
With respect to the representations and warranties incorporated in
this Section 2.04 that are made to the best of the Seller's knowledge or as to
which the Seller has no knowledge, if it is discovered by the Depositor, the
Seller or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty
is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value
of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders
then, notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the
substance of such representation and warranty being inaccurate at the time the
representation or warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach
of the applicable representation or warranty.
Within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such
missing or materially defective documentation or any such breach of a
representation or warranty, the Seller shall promptly deliver such missing
document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects or, in the
event such defect or breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan or cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the
Trust Fund and substitute for it one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans, in either case, in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
incorporated in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files
to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders
notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment. Upon
discovery by any of the Depositor, the Seller or the Trustee of a breach of
any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and
adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests therein of
the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt
written notice to the other parties, and in no event later than two Business
Days from the date of such discovery. It is understood and agreed that the
obligations of the Seller set forth in Section 2.03(a) hereof to cure,
substitute for or repurchase a related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement constitute the sole remedies available to the
Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf respecting a breach of
the representations and warranties incorporated in this Section 2.04.

and the delivery to it of the Mortgage Files, subject to the provisions of
Sections 2.01 and 2.02 hereof, together with the assignment to it of all other

Concurrently with such assignment and delivery and in exchange therefor, the
Trustee, pursuant to the written request of the Depositor executed by an
officer of the Depositor, has executed, authenticated and delivered to or upon
the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations. The
interests evidenced by the Certificates constitute the entire beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust Fund.

adversely affect the Seller's financial condition (financial or
otherwise) or operations, or materially and adversely affect the
performance of any of its duties hereunder.
(ix) There are no actions or proceedings against the Seller, or
pending or, to its knowledge, threatened, before any court,

knowledge, are there any investigations (i) that, if determined

discovery thereof, and the Seller will defend the right, title and interest of
the Trust, as assignee of the Depositor, in, to and under the Mortgage Loans,
against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.09 shall prevent or be
deemed to prohibit the Seller from suffering to exist upon any of the Mortgage
Loans any liens for municipal or other local taxes and other governmental
charges if such taxes or governmental charges shall not at the time be due and
payable or if the Seller shall currently be contesting the validity thereof in
good faith by appropriate proceedings and shall have set aside on its books
adequate reserves with respect thereto.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Power and Authority of the Servicers.
Subject only to the terms of the related Servicing Contract and of
this Agreement, each Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting
alone or through Sub-Servicers, to do or cause to be done any and all things
in connection with the servicing and administration of the related Mortgage
Loans which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Servicer in its own name or in the name of a
Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, and upon notice
to the Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments,
with respect to the related Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged
Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu
of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold
or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the Trustee and
Certificateholders. The Trustee shall execute, if so requested in writing by a
Servicer pursuant to the applicable provisions of the related Servicing
Contract, and furnish to such Servicer and any related Sub-Servicer any
special or limited powers of attorney and other documents prepared by such
Servicer and necessary or appropriate to enable such Servicer or any related
Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties under the
related Servicing Contract. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of
any Servicer or any Sub-Servicer under such powers of attorney. It is
expressly agreed and understood, if there is a conflict between a provision or
provisions of any Servicing Contract and this Agreement as it relates to the
Trustee, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that Servicing Advances made
by a Servicer shall be reimbursable in accordance with the related Servicing
Contract. Any cost incurred by a Servicer or by related Sub-Servicers pursuant
to the related Servicing Contract in effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose of calculating
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Principal Balance
of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage
Loan so permit.
SECTION 3.02. No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and
the Trustee or Certificateholders.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to any Mortgage Loans involving a
Sub-Servicer in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the
Sub-Servicer and the related Servicer alone, and the Trustee and the
Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no
claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the
Sub-Servicer.
SECTION 3.03. Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements
by Trustee.
In the event that a Servicer shall for any reason no longer be a
Servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Termination), the Trustee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of such Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement into which
such Servicer may have entered, unless the Trustee exercises any rights that
it may have to terminate any such Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with
its terms. Upon such assumption, the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed
all of such departing Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced such
departing Servicer as a party to each related Sub-Servicing Agreement to the
same extent as if each such Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the
assuming party, except that (i) such departing Servicer shall not thereby be
relieved of any liability or obligations under any related Sub-Servicing
Agreement that arose before it ceased to be a Servicer and (ii) neither the
Trustee nor any successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any
liability or obligation of such departing Servicer that arose before it ceased
to be a Servicer.
SECTION 3.04. Distribution Account.
(a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish and
maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the "Distribution
Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders.
(b) Any funds held in a Collection Account which may be delivered by
the related Servicer to the Trustee for deposit in an account (which may be
the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution
Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of such Collection Account; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds
held in the Distribution Account pursuant to this subsection (b). If a
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account
any amount not required to be deposited therein, the Trustee shall, upon the
request of such Servicer, withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account
and remit to such Servicer any such amount, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 3.05. Withdrawals from the Collection Accounts and
Distribution Account.
(a) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that each Servicer may,
pursuant to the related Servicing Contract, from time to time make withdrawals
from its Collection Account for any of the purposes set forth in such
Servicing Contract.
(b) The Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the
Distribution Account, for any of the following purposes, without priority:
(i) to make distributions in accordance with Sections 4.01 and
8.05 hereof;
(ii) to pay any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to Section
9.01(g) hereof; and
(iii) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant
to Section 10.01 hereof.
SECTION 3.06. Investment of Funds.
(a) Funds in the Distribution Account may be held uninvested or, at
the option of the Trustee, invested in Permitted Investments.
(b) All benefit derived from funds deposited in the Distribution
Account shall be for the benefit of the Trustee.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment,
or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted
Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section
8.02(a)(v), upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing more
than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall
take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance,
including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
SECTION 3.07. Collection Account Statements.
Copies of any bank statements forwarded by any Servicer to the
Trustee in respect of the related Collection Account shall be provided by the
Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee
as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of
the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by such Servicer to
the Trustee.
SECTION 3.08. Filing of Reports by Trustee.
(a) Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall,
in accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission, via the
Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (XXXXX), a Form 8-K with a copy
of the statement to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an
exhibit thereto. Prior to January 30, 2001, the Trustee shall, in accordance
with industry standards, file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect
to the Trust Fund, if applicable. Prior to March 30, 2001, the Trustee shall
file a Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry standards, with respect
to the Trust Fund. The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power
of attorney to execute and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor.
Such power of attorney shall continue until either the earlier of (i) receipt
by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such power of
attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund. The Depositor agrees to
furnish to the Trustee promptly, from time to time upon request, such further
information, reports, and financial statements within its control related to
this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee reasonably deems
appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The
Trustee shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those
specified in this section.

The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual

behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trust, 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 authenticated by the Trustee
substantially in the form provided for herein, and such authentication 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 authentication. Subject to
Section 5.02(c), the Senior Certificates (other than the Class A-R
Certificate) and the Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class B-3 Certificates shall be

SECTION 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose
pursuant to the foregoing paragraph (or the deemed surrender of a Certificate
pursuant to Section 8.17(e) and, in the case of a Private Certificate or Class
A-R Certificate, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates
of the same aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates in authorized denominations and the same
aggregate Percentage Interests, 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 on behalf of the Trust and
authenticate and deliver the Certificates which 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 his
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 such
Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar 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 Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of
registration of such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be

Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from
its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall for all purposes deal with
the Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners of the Certificates
for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and
requests and directions for and votes of such representative shall not be
deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different
Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar 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; and (vii) the direct participants of the
Depository shall have no rights under this Agreement under or with respect to
any of the Certificates held on their behalf by the Depository, and the
Depository may be treated by the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and their
respective agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of
the Certificates for all purposes whatsoever.
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 that it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts
as agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. The parties
hereto are hereby authorized to execute a Letter of Representations with the
Depository or take such other action as may be necessary or desirable to
register a Book-Entry Certificate to the Depository. In the event of any
conflict between the terms of any such Letter of Representation and this
Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(c) If (i)(x) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly
its responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Trustee or the Depositor is
unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) the Depositor, at its sole
option, with the consent of the Trustee, elects to terminate the book-entry
system through the Depository, upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of
the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall, at the
Depositor's expense, in the case of (ii) above, or the Seller's expense, in
the case of (i) and (iii) above, execute on behalf of the Trust and
authenticate definitive, fully registered certificates (the "Definitive
Certificates"). Neither the Depositor 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, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and the
Depositor shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.
(d) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Private
Certificate shall be made unless such disposition is exempt from the
registration requirements of the 1933 Act, and any applicable state securities
laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and laws. In the event of any
such transfer, (i) unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A (as
evidenced by the investment letter delivered to the Trustee, in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit I under the 1933 Act and, if so required
by the Trustee and the Depositor, a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be
in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor is delivered to the Trustee and
Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing
the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being
made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trustee or the Depositor) or (ii) the Trustee shall require the
transferor to execute a transferor certificate (in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit J) and the transferee to execute an investment
letter (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit I) acceptable to
and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the
Trustee certifying to the Depositor and the Trustee the facts surrounding such
transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or
the Depositor. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Seller
and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not
so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is also a
Physical Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall have received
either (i) a representation from the transferee of such Certificate,
acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Depositor (such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a
representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit
I hereto), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section
4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such plan or
arrangement nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect
such transfer or (ii) if the purchaser is an insurance company, a
representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing
such Certificates with funds contained in an "insurance company general
account" (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60") and that the purchase and holding of such
Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall
not be an expense of either the Trustee or the Trust, addressed to the
Trustee, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such ERISA-Restricted
Certificate that is also a Physical Certificate will not result in the assets
of the Trust being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited
transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Trustee
or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken
in this Agreement or to any liability. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary herein, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate
that is also a Physical Certificate to an employee benefit plan subject to
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code without the delivery to the Trustee of an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be
void and of no effect.
In the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is also a
Book-Entry Certificate, for purposes of clauses (i) or (ii) of the first
sentence of the preceding paragraph, such representations shall be deemed to
have been made to the Trustee by the transferee's acceptance of such
ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is also a Book-Entry Certificate (or the
acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in such
Certificate).
No transfer of a Certificate that is subject to a Call Option and
that is also a Physical Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall
have received a representation from the transferee of such Certificate,
acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Depositor, to the effect that such transferee is neither an employee benefit
plan or other plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or to
Section 4975 of the Code that is sponsored by the Call Option Holder with
respect to that Certificate or by an affiliate of that Call Option Holder, nor
a person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or using the assets
of any such plan or arrangement to effect the transfer. In the case of a
Certificate that is subject to a Call Option and that is also a Book-Entry
Certificate such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the
Trustee by the transferee's acceptance of such Certificate that is subject to
a Call Option and that is also a Book-Entry Certificate.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not
limited to, ERISA), neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall
have any liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any
ERISA-Restricted Certificate or Certificate that is subject to a Call Option
that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) or for making any
payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so
long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar in accordance with the foregoing requirements. In addition, neither
the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall be required to monitor,
determine or inquire as to compliance with the transfer restrictions with
respect to any ERISA-Restricted Certificate or Certificate subject to a Call
Option, in each case in the form of a Book-Entry Certificate, and neither the
Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any liability for transfers
of Book-Entry Certificates or any interests therein made in violation of the
restrictions on transfer described in the Prospectus Supplement and this
Agreement.
(e) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in the
Class A-R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and
to have irrevocably appointed the Depositor or its designee as its
attorney-in-fact to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v)
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 the Class A-R Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest
in the Class A-R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and
shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change
in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in the Class A-R Certificate may
be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the
Trustee shall not register the Transfer of the Class A-R Certificate
unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered
under subsection (b) above, the Trustee shall have been furnished
with an affidavit ("Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner or
proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L.
(iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any
Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate, the Trustee shall as
a condition to registration of the transfer, require delivery to it,
in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each of the following:
A. a Transferor Certificate in the form of Exhibit K
hereto from the proposed transferee to the effect that such
transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that it is not
acquiring an Ownership Interest in the Class A-R Certificate
that is the subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee,
trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted
Transferee; and
B. a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect
that the proposed transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide
by the transfer restrictions applicable to the Class A-R
Certificate.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in the Class A-R Certificate in violation of the provisions
of this Section shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no
rights in the purported transferee. If any purported transferee
shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section, become a
Holder of the Class A-R Certificate, then the prior Holder of the
Class A-R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon
discovery that the registration of Transfer of the Class A-R
Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section, be restored
to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of transfer of the Class A-R Certificate. Neither the
Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any liability to
any Person for any registration of Transfer of the Class A-R
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section or for
making any distributions due on the Class A-R Certificate to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such
Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Trustee
received the documents specified in clause (iii). The Trustee shall
be entitled to recover from any Holder of the Class A-R Certificate
that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such
distributions were made all distributions made on the Class A-R
Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Trustee
shall be distributed and delivered by the Trustee to the last Holder
of the Class A-R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.
(v) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires
any Ownership Interest in the Class A-R Certificate in violation of
the restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee shall have the
right but not the obligation, without notice to the Holder of the
Class A-R Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership
Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of
the Class A-R Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of
commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Depositor
or its affiliates in connection with such sale), expenses and taxes
due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to the previous Holder
of the Class A-R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except
that in the event that the Trustee determines that the Holder of the
Class A-R Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this
Section or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee may
withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance as security for
such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause
(v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trustee and it
shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in
the Class A-R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such
discretion.
(vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires
any Ownership Interest in the Class A-R Certificate in violation of
the restrictions in this Section, then the Trustee upon receipt of
reasonable compensation will provide to the Internal Revenue
Service, and to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6)
of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under
Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to
disqualified organizations.
The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers
occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the
Trustee and the Servicer, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee,
(i) written notification from the Rating Agencies that the removal of the
restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating
Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause either REMIC hereunder
to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
(e) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer
or exchange of Certificates of any Class, but the Certificate Registrar may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of
Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be cancelled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant to
its standard procedures.
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is
delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor 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 notice to the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust, authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the
issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar 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) in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section, shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying
Agent and any agent of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying
Agent or the Trustee may treat the Person, including a Depository, in whose
name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the
purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar, the Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05. Appointment of Paying Agent.
(a) The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders
from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof and shall report
the amounts of such distributions to the Trustee. The duties of the Paying
Agent may include the obligation (i) to withdraw funds from the Collection
Accounts pursuant to Section 3.05(a) hereof and for the purpose of making the
distributions referred to above and (ii) to distribute statements and provide
information to Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent
hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly incorporated and validly
existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent
shall initially be the Trustee. The Trustee may appoint a successor to act as
Paying Agent, which appointment shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Depositor.
(b) The Trustee shall cause the Paying Agent (if other than the
Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent shall hold
all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust
for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums
shall be paid to such Certificateholders and shall agree that it shall comply
with all requirements of the Code regarding the withholding of payments in
respect of federal income taxes due from Certificate Owners and otherwise
comply with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it.

notwithstanding.
SECTION 6.03. [Reserved].
SECTION 6.04. Resignation of Servicers.
In addition to any requirements imposed by the Servicing Contracts
with regard to the resignation of Servicers and appointment of successor
Servicers, the Trustee shall not accept the resignation of any Servicer unless

DEFAULT
SECTION 7.01. Servicer Events of Termination.
If a Servicer Event of Termination shall occur and be continuing with
respect to any Servicer, then, and in each and every such case, for so long as
such Servicer Event of Termination shall not have been remedied within the
applicable grace period set forth in the related Servicing Contract, the
Trustee may, and at the direction of the Holders of each Class of Regular
Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51%
shall, exercise all of its rights under the related Servicing Contract to
terminate all of the rights and obligations of such Servicer as the servicer
under such Servicing Contract in accordance with the terms thereof. Any notice
given by the Trustee to the Servicer with respect to the foregoing shall also
be given by the Trustee to the Rating Agencies, the Depositor and the Seller.
In connection with the termination of a Servicer, the Trustee will be
entitled to be reimbursed by the Trust Fund (in the event that such Servicer
does not timely reimburse the Trustee) for all of the reasonable costs
associated with the termination of such Servicer, appointment of any successor
Servicer and the transfer of the related servicing to a successor Servicer,
including without limitation all reasonable costs and expenses associated with
the completion, correction or manipulation of servicing data as may be
required to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or
otherwise to enable the Trustee or the successor Servicer to service the
related Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.
SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act.
(a) Within not more than 90 days from the date a Servicer receives a
notice of termination pursuant to the applicable provisions of the related
Servicing Contract, the Trustee shall, subject to the applicable provisions of
the related Servicing Contract, be the successor in all respects to such
terminated Servicer in its capacity as a servicer under such Servicing
Contract and the transactions set forth or provided for in such Servicing
Contract and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto placed on such Servicer by the terms and
provisions of such Servicing Contract arising on and after its succession. As
compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as
such Servicer would have been entitled to under such Servicing Contract if no
such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if
the Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Servicer or (ii) if the Trustee
is legally unable so to act, the Trustee shall appoint or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance
institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having a
net worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the successor to such terminated
Servicer under such Servicing Contract in the assumption of all or any part of
the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of such terminated Servicer under
such Servicing Contract; provided, however, that the appointment of any such
successor Servicer shall not result in the qualification, reduction or
withdrawal of the ratings that are in effect on the Certificates by the Rating
Agencies as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies.
Pending appointment of a successor to a Servicer under the related Servicing
Contract, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee
shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. Notwithstanding anything
else herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be personally
liable for any servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the
servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any successor
Servicer to act as successor Servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein.
(b) The Trustee as successor to a Servicer shall, during the term of
its service as a Servicer, continue to service and administer the related
Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders, and maintain in force a
policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the
performance of its obligations as a Servicer under the related Servicing
Contract and a Fidelity Bond in respect of its officers, employees and agents
to the same extent as each Servicer is so required pursuant to the applicable
provisions of such Servicing Contract.
SECTION 7.03. Waiver of Servicer Events of Termination.
The Majority Certificateholders may, on behalf of all
Certificateholders, by notice in writing to the Trustee, direct the Trustee to
waive any events permitting removal of any Servicer as a servicer pursuant to
the related Servicing Contract, provided, however, that the Majority
Certificateholders may not waive an event that results in a failure to make
any required distribution on a Certificate without the consent of the Holder
of such Certificate. Upon any waiver of a Servicer Event of Termination, such
event shall cease to exist and any Servicer Event of Termination 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 event or
impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent expressly so waived.
Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Trustee to the Rating
Agencies.
SECTION 7.04. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to any
Servicer pursuant to the related Servicing Contract, the Trustee shall give
prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Rating Agencies.
(b) No later than 60 days after the occurrence of any event which
constitutes or which, with notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute
a Servicer Event of Termination of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall transmit
by mail to all Certificateholders notice of such occurrence unless such
Servicer Event of Termination shall have been waived or cured.
ARTICLE VIII
THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Termination and after the curing or waiver of all Servicer Events of
Termination which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and
only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If a
Servicer Event of Termination has occurred (which has not been cured or
waived) of which a Responsible Officer has knowledge, 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
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine
whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement; provided, however,
that the Trustee will not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any
such resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents or
other instruments. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the
requirements of this Agreement in a material manner the Trustee shall take
such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected.
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 a Servicer Event of
Termination, and after the curing of all such Servicer Events of
Termination which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of
the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of
this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the
performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall
be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence
of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates
or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Agreement;
(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 or
investigating the facts related thereto;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect
to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in accordance with the consent or at the direction of Holders
of Certificates as provided herein relating to the time, method and
place of conducting any remedy pursuant to this Agreement, or
exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon
the Trustee, under this Agreement; and
(iv) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any
Servicer Event of Termination 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 Servicer
Event of Termination from the related Servicer or the Majority
Certificateholders.
The Trustee acknowledges that, in respect of each of the Servicers
and the related Mortgage Loans:
(A) the Bank of America Loans are being serviced by Bank of
America in accordance with the provisions of the Bank of America
Servicing Contract and the Trustee agrees to enforce its rights
against Bank of America as servicer thereunder;
(B) the Cendant Loans are being serviced by Cendant in
accordance with the provisions of the MLCC Servicing Contract and
the Trustee agrees to enforce its rights (other than any rights
contained in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 thereof) against Cendant
as servicer thereunder;
(C) the MLCC Loans are being serviced by MLCC in accordance
with the provisions of the MLCC Servicing Contract and the Trustee
agrees to enforce its rights (other than any rights contained in
Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 thereof) against MLCC as servicer
thereunder; and
(D) the WAMU Loans are being serviced by WMBFA in accordance
with the provisions of the WMBFA Servicing Contract and the Trustee
agrees to enforce its rights against WMBFA as servicer thereunder.
Further, the Trustee agrees:
(I) as assignee of the Bank of America Servicing Contract and
the Bank of America Loans, to be bound by all the terms, covenants
and conditions of the Bank of America Servicing Contract as if the
Trustee were the "Purchaser" thereunder;
(II) as assignee of the MLCC Servicing Contract, the Cendant
Loans and the MLCC Loans, to be bound by all the terms, covenants
and conditions of the MLCC Servicing Contract (other than the
provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 thereof) as if the
Trustee were the "Owner" thereunder; and
(III) as assignee of the WMBFA Servicing Contract and the WAMU
Loans, to be bound by all the terms, covenants and conditions of the
WMBFA Servicing Contract as if the Trustee were the "Purchaser"
thereunder.
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 indemnity
satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not 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 a Servicer under the related Servicing Contract,
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, such Servicer in
accordance with the terms of such Servicing Contract.
SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01 hereof:
(i) the Trustee may request and rely upon, and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution,
Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties, and the manner of
obtaining consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such
reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any written
advice of its counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken
or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in
accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to
institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation
hereto, at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; the right of
the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this
Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall
not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful
misconduct in the performance of any such act;
(iv) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed
by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers
conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Termination and after the curing or waiver of all Servicer Events of
Termination 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 the Majority
Certificateholder; 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. If any Servicer
fails to reimburse the Trustee in respect of the reasonable expense
of every such examination relating to such Servicer, the Trustee
shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund);
(vi) the Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no
liability and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions
hereunder of any Servicer until such time as the Trustee may be
required to act as the Servicer pursuant to the related Servicing
Contract and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee
as a successor Servicer;
(vii) 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, but shall not be
responsible for any willful misconduct or negligence on the part of
any agent, attorney or custodian appointed by the Trustee in good
faith; and
(viii) the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary
act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty,
and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its
negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act.
SECTION 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates, Mortgage Loans or
Additional Collateral.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the
statements of the Seller, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the
correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the
validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than
the signature and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any
Mortgage Loan or related document or of MERS or the MERS System. The Trustee
shall not be accountable for the use or application by any Servicer, or for
the use or application of any funds paid to any Servicer in respect of related
Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the applicable Collection
Account by such 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 Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any
Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or
with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust 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 a Servicer
pursuant the applicable provisions of the related Servicing Contract); the
validity of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any
intervening assignment; the completeness of any Mortgage Loan; the performance
or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume
the duties of a Servicer pursuant to the applicable provisions of the related
Servicing Contract); the compliance by the Depositor or the Seller 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 a
Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom, it being understood that the Trustee
shall remain responsible for any Trust property that it may hold in its
individual capacity; the acts or omissions of any Servicer (other than if the
Trustee shall assume the duties of a Servicer pursuant to the applicable
provisions of the related Servicing Contract, and then only for the acts or
omissions of the Trustee as a successor Servicer), any Sub-Servicer or any
Mortgagor; any action of any Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume
the duties of a Servicer pursuant the applicable provisions of the related
Servicing Contract), or any Sub-Servicer taken in the name of the Trustee; the
failure of any Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to act or perform any duties
required of it as agent of the Trustee under the related Servicing Contract;
or any action by the Trustee taken at the instruction of any Servicer (other
than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of a Servicer pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the related Servicing Contract, and then only for the
actions of the Trustee as a successor Servicer); provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligation to perform its
duties under this Agreement or under each Servicing Contract, including,
without limitation, the Trustee's duty to review the Mortgage Files, if so
required pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement. The Trustee shall have no
responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any
public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection
of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee
shall have become a successor Servicer).
SECTION 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Certificates and may transact any banking and trust
business with the Seller, any Servicer, the Depositor or their Affiliates with
the same rights as it would have if it were not Trustee.
SECTION 8.05. Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
The Trustee, as compensation for all services rendered by the Trustee
in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder,
shall be entitled to withdraw from the Distribution Account on each
Distribution Date an amount equal to the Trustee Fee for such Distribution
Date. The Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Trustee upon request on any
Distribution Date for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of
this Agreement during the related Due Period (including but not limited to
Section 7.01 and Section 8.02(v) hereof and including the reasonable
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all
persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or
advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith or which is the
responsibility of Certificateholders or the Trustee hereunder. On each such
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw from the
Distribution Account the amount of such payment or reimbursement for such
Distribution Date. In addition, the Trust Fund shall indemnify the Trustee and
its officers, directors, employees and agents from, and hold it harmless
against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses incurred
by reason of its participation in the transactions contemplated hereby or in
connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement, the Trust Fund or
the Certificates, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys' and
consultants' fees, expenses and court costs, other than any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of
the Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of the
Trustee's reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. This section
shall survive termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of
the Trustee hereunder.
SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly organized
and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any
state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers,
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and a minimum
long-term debt rating of BBB by S&P and Fitch and a short-term rating of at
least F-1 by Fitch, if rated by Fitch, and in one of S&P's two highest
short-term rating categories, and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority. If such entity publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section
8.06, the combined capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be
its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. The principal office of the Trustee (other than the
initial Trustee) shall be in a state with respect to which an Opinion of
Counsel has been delivered to such Trustee at the time such Trustee is
appointed Trustee to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable entity
under the laws of such state. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified
in Section 8.07 hereof.
SECTION 8.07. Resignation or Removal of Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Seller
and the Rating Agencies. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the
Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall
have been so appointed and having accepted appointment within 30 days after
the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof 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
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then
the Depositor may remove the Trustee. If the Depositor removes the Trustee
under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one
copy to the successor trustee.
The Majority Certificateholders may at any time remove the Trustee by
written instrument or instruments delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee;
the Depositor shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a successor
trustee in accordance with this Section.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall
not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee
as provided in Section 8.08 hereof.
SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee.
Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 hereof
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and the Seller and to
its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder,
and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall
become effective, and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as Trustee. The Depositor, the Seller and the predecessor 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.
No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and the
appointment of such successor Trustee shall not result in a downgrading of the
Senior Certificates by either Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from
each Rating Agency.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in
this Section 8.08, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of the appointment
of a successor Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their
addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.
SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
entity succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of
the Trustee hereunder, provided such entity shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 8.06 and 8.08 hereof, without the execution or filing of
any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Trust or any Mortgaged Property may at the time be located,
each Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power, and the
Trustee shall, and shall instruct such Servicer to, execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons, with the consent of the Depositor,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, 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, and to vest in
such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject
to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicers and the Trustee may consider
necessary or desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be
subject to the written approval of each Servicer. If a Servicer Event of
Termination shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to one or more
Servicers, the remaining Servicers--or, if a Servicer Event of Termination
shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to all of the Servicers,
the Trustee alone--shall have the power to make such appointment. No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms
of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereof, and no notice
to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.
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 a
Servicer under the related Servicing Contract), 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 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) each Servicer and the Trustee, acting jointly may at any
time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or
co-trustee except that if a Servicer Event of Termination shall have
occurred and be continuing with respect to one or more Servicers,
the remaining Servicers--or, if a Servicer Event of Termination
shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to all of the
Servicers, the Trustee alone--may accept the resignation or remove
any separate trustee or co-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 VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee,
upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates
or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with
the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this
Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the
Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Depositor and each 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 8.11. Limitation of Liability.
The Certificates are executed by the Trustee, not in its individual
capacity but solely as Trustee of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and
authority conferred and vested in it by this Agreement. Each of the
undertakings and agreements made on the part of the Trustee in the
Certificates is made and intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement
by the Trustee but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the
Trust.
SECTION 8.12. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Certificates.
(a) All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the
Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto, and such proceeding instituted by the Trustee
shall be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee for the benefit
of all Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this
Agreement. Any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursement and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit or the
Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
(b) The Trustee shall afford the Seller, the Depositor and each
Certificateholder upon reasonable notice during normal business hours at its
Corporate Trust Office or other office designated by the Trustee, access to
all records maintained by the Trustee in respect of its duties hereunder and
access to officers of the Trustee responsible for performing such duties. Upon
request, the Trustee shall furnish the Depositor and any requesting
Certificateholder with its most recent audited financial statements. The
Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Seller, the Depositor and such
Certificateholder and shall, subject to the first sentence of this Section
8.12(b), make available to the Seller, the Depositor and such
Certificateholder for review and copying such books, documents or records as
may be requested with respect to the Trustee's duties hereunder. The Seller,
the Depositor and the Certificateholders shall not have any responsibility or
liability for any action or failure to act by the Trustee and are not
obligated to supervise the performance of the Trustee under this Agreement or
otherwise.
SECTION 8.13. Suits for Enforcement.
In case a Servicer Event of Termination by any Servicer under the
related Servicing Contract or other default by the Depositor hereunder shall
occur and be continuing, the Trustee may proceed to protect and enforce its
rights and the rights of the Certificateholders under such Servicing Contract
or under this Agreement, as the case may be, by a suit, action or proceeding
in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific performance of any
covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the execution
of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement of any other
legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel,
and subject to the foregoing, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce
any of the rights of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.
SECTION 8.14. Waiver of Bond Requirement.
The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby
waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part
thereof, may be located that the Trustee post a bond or other surety with any
court, agency or body whatsoever.
SECTION 8.15. Waiver of Inventory, Accounting and Appraisal
Requirement.
The Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby
waives, any requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part
thereof, may be located that the Trustee file any inventory, accounting or
appraisal of the Trust with any court, agency or body at any time or in any
manner whatsoever.
SECTION 8.16. Appointment of Custodians.
The Trustee may appoint one or more custodians to hold all or a
portion of the related Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering
into a Custodial Agreement. The custodian may at any time be terminated and a
substitute custodian appointed therefor by the Trustee. Subject to this
Article VIII, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial
Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the
custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders having an interest in any
Mortgage File held by such custodian. Each custodian shall be a depository
institution or trust company subject to supervision by federal or state
authority, shall have combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000 and
shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any
Mortgage File. Pursuant to the applicable provisions of each Servicing
Contract, the applicable Servicer shall pay from its own funds, without any
right to reimbursement, the fees, costs and expenses of each custodian
(including the costs of custodian's counsel).
SECTION 8.17. Call Options.
(a) During the Call Option Period, the Senior Call Option Holder may
exercise its Senior Call Option with respect to each Class A-1, Class A-2 and
Class A-3 Certificate, and the Class B-1 Call Option Holder may exercise its
Class B-1 Call Option with respect to each Class B-1 Certificate, in each case
by providing written notice to the Trustee; provided, however, that with
respect to each such Class of Certificates, the related Call Option Holder may
only exercise its Call Options with respect to all, but no fewer than all, of
the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
(b) At the end of the Call Option Period, the Trustee shall notify
each Holder of a Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificate for which the
related Senior Call Option was exercised, and each Holder of a Class B-1
Certificate for which the related Class B-1 Call Option was exercised, in each
case consistent with the notification requirements of Section 10.01(b).
(c) Pursuant to Section 5 of each of the Senior Call Option Agreement
and the Class B-1 Call Option Agreement, the Call Option Holders have each
agreed to deposit into the Distribution Account (by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the Trustee), no later than one (1) Business
Day prior to the Call Option Date, the Call Option Purchase Price for each
Certificate for which such Call Option Holder has exercised its Call Option.
(d) On the Call Option Date, with respect to each Class A-1, Class
A-2, Class A-3 and Class B-1 Certificate for which the related Call Option was
exercised, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account the
applicable Call Option Purchase Price and distribute it to the related
Certificateholder by wire transfer in immediately available funds for the
account of such Certificateholder, or by any other means of payment as
specified by such Certificateholder and at the address of such Holder
appearing in the Certificate Register, provided that such payment shall only
be made after presentation and surrender of the Certificate if the
Certificates are no longer held in book-entry form.
(e) With respect to each Book-Entry Certificate for which the related
Call Option Holder has exercised the related Call Option and deposited the
aggregate applicable Call Option Purchase Price into the Distribution Account
on the Call Option Date, the transfer of the Ownership Interest in such
Book-Entry Certificate to the related Call Option Holder, as Certificate
Owner, shall be effected by the applicable Depository Participant (or the
applicable indirect participant in the Depository, as the case may be) upon
notice by the Trustee. Upon such transfer, the Certificate Owner of such
Book-Entry Certificate prior to such exercise of such Call Option shall cease
to have any Ownership Interest in such Book-Entry Certificate on or after the
Call Option Date. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, with
respect to each Definitive Certificate for which the related Call Option
Holder has exercised the related Call Option and deposited the aggregate
applicable Call Option Purchase Price into the Distribution Account on the
Call Option Date, the Holder of such Definitive Certificate prior to such
exercise of such Call Option shall be deemed to have surrendered such
Definitive Certificate to the Certificate Registrar for transfer to such Call
Option Holder. On the Call Option Date, the Trustee shall cause the
Certificate Registrar to note in the Certificate Register the registration of
the transfer of such Definitive Certificate to the related Call Option Holder,
and such Call Option Holder shall be recognized as the Record Holder of such
Definitive Certificate. Each Holder of a Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 or
Class B-1 Certificate is deemed, by acceptance of any such Certificate, to
acknowledge and accept the provisions of this Section 8.17(e).
The Trustee shall treat each Call Option as a contractual right
combined with a regular interest within the meaning of Treasury regulation ss.
1.860G-2(i) and will account for such Call Option separately from the
corresponding Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 or Class B-1 Certificate.
ARTICLE IX
REMIC ADMINISTRATION
SECTION 9.01. REMIC Administration.
(a) As set forth in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement, two
REMIC elections shall be made by the Trustee on Form 1066 or other appropriate
federal tax or information return for the taxable year ending on the last day
of the calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. The regular
interests in each REMIC and the related residual interest shall be as
designated in the Preliminary Statement. Following the Closing Date, the
Trustee shall apply to the IRS for an employer identification number for each
REMIC created hereunder by means of a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day" of
each REMIC created hereunder within the meaning of section 86OG(a)(9) of the
Code.
(c) Except as provided in subsection (d) of this Section 9.01, the
Seller shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes) of
each REMIC created hereunder, including but not limited to any professional
fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial
proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue
Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such
expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine
audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii)
such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable
to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Seller in fulfilling its duties
hereunder (including its duties as tax return preparer). The Seller shall be
entitled to reimbursement of expenses referred to in clause (i) above from the
Distribution Account.
(d) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file, all of the federal and
state tax and information returns of each REMIC created hereunder as the
direct representative. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall
be borne by the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall have
no obligation to prepare, file or otherwise deal with partnership tax
information or returns. In the event that partnership tax information or
returns are required by the Internal Revenue Service, the Seller, at its own
cost and expense, will prepare and file all necessary returns.
(e) The Holder of the Class A-R Certificate at any time holding the
largest Percentage Interest thereof shall be the "tax matters person" as
defined in the REMIC Provisions (the "Tax Matters Person") with respect to
each REMIC created hereunder and shall act as Tax Matters Person for each such
REMIC. The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall perform on
behalf of each REMIC created hereunder all reporting and other tax compliance
duties that are the responsibility of each such REMIC under the Code, the
REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue
Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if
required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other such guidance, the
Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall provide (i) to the
Treasury or other governmental authority such information as is necessary for
the application of any tax relating to the Transfer of the Class A-R
Certificate to any disqualified person or organization and (ii) to the
Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or
REMIC Provisions.
(f) The Trustee (to the extent that the affairs of the REMICs are
within its control and the scope of its specific responsibilities under the
Agreement) and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action or cause any
REMIC created hereunder to take any action necessary to create or maintain the
status of each REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions
and shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status.
Neither the Trustee nor the Holder of the Class A-R Certificate shall take any
action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take
(or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if
taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any
REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax
upon any REMIC created hereunder (including but not limited to the tax on
prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on
prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either
such event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee has received an
Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action)
to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or
result in the imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any
action with respect to any REMIC created hereunder or the assets therein, or
causing any such REMIC to take any action which is not expressly permitted
under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of the Class A-R Certificate
will consult with the Trustee or its designees, in writing, with respect to
whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect
to any such REMIC, and no such Person shall take any such action or cause any
REMIC created hereunder to take any such action as to which the Trustee has
advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. Should the
Trustee choose to consult tax counsel as permitted under Section 8.02(a)(ii)
in advising any Holder of the Class A-R Certificate that a proposed action may
result in an Adverse REMIC Event, fees and expenses related to such
consultation with tax counsel shall be paid from the Distribution Account.
(g) Each Holder of the Class A-R Certificate shall pay when due any
and all taxes imposed on each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state
governmental authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by
the Class A-R Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC
taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder
of the Class A-R Certificate or, if no such amounts are available, out of
other amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts
otherwise payable to holders of regular interests in each such REMIC, as the
case may be.
(h) The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall, for
federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each
REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.
(i) No additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC
created hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect
to eligible substitute mortgage loans.
(j) The Trustee shall not enter into any arrangement by which any
REMIC created hereunder will receive a fee or other compensation for services.
(k) For federal income tax purposes, the Trustee will treat the
Holders of the Class X-2 Certificates as having a Class Certificate Notional
Balance equal to the Pool Balance and a Pass-Through Rate equal to the excess
of the Net WAC over the weighted average of the Pass-Through Rates of the
Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests, with each such interest subject to a cap
equal to the Pass-Through Rate in respect of its Master REMIC Corresponding
Class, and as subject to a separate obligation under a notional principal
contract to make the required payments to the Holders of the Class X-1
Certificateholders at the Class X-1 Pass-Through Rate.
SECTION 9.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or
substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to
(i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund,
(iii) the termination of any REMIC created hereunder pursuant to Article X of
this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement
or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this
Agreement, nor acquire any assets for any REMIC created hereunder, nor sell or
dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept
any contributions to any REMIC created hereunder after the Closing Date,
unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party
causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that such disposition,
acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the
status of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC or of the interests therein
other than the Class A-R Certificate as the "residual interest" therein, (b)
affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates, (c)
result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust
Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (d) cause any
REMIC created hereunder to be subject to a tax on prohibited transactions or
prohibited contributions pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
ARTICLE X
TERMINATION
SECTION 10.01. Termination.
(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller,
the Depositor and the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the
Trustee to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final
Distribution Date) shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the
earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Class Certificate Principal
Balance of each Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, (ii) the final
payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan, (iii) the optional
purchase by the Holder of the Class A-R Certificate of the Mortgage Loans as
described below and (iv) the Latest Possible Maturity Date. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the
expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants
of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of
St. James's, living on the date hereof.
The Holder of the Class A-R Certificate may, at its option, terminate
this Agreement on any date on which the aggregate of the Principal Balances of
the Mortgage Loans on such date is 10% or less of the aggregate of the Cut-Off
Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, by purchasing, on the next
succeeding Distribution Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties at a price equal to the sum of (i) the outstanding Stated Principal
Balances of the Mortgage Loans (other than in respect of REO Properties), (ii)
the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by the
higher of two appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by
the Depositor at the expense of the Depositor and (y) the Stated Principal
Balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property and (iii) in all
cases, accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted average of the
Adjusted Loan Rates through the end of the Due Period preceding the final
Distribution Date, plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances and any unpaid
Servicing Fees allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, plus all
amounts, if any, then due and owing to the Trustee under this Agreement (the
"Termination Price").
In connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, the Trustee shall direct each Servicer to deposit in the
Distribution Account all amounts then on deposit in each related Collection
Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately preceding
such purchase.
(b) Notice of any termination pursuant to the second paragraph of
Section 10.01(a), 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 the
Trustee receiving notice of such date from the Holder of the Class A-R
Certificate, by letter to the Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the
10th day and not later than the 19th day of the month immediately preceding
the month of such final distribution specifying (1) the Distribution Date upon
which final distribution of the Certificates will be made upon presentation
and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee
therein designated, (2) the amount of any such final distribution and (3) 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.
(c) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Certificates on the
Distribution Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage
Interests of their respective Class and to the extent that funds are available
for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to
such Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 hereof for such
Distribution Date.
(d) In the event that all Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before such final
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall promptly following such date cause all
funds in the Distribution 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 account for the
benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Trustee 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 nine months after the second notice all the Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class A-R
Certificateholder 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 Class A-R Certificateholder for payment.
SECTION 10.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event that the Class A-R Certificateholder exercises its
purchase option as provided in Section 10.01, the Trust shall be terminated in
accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee
shall have been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section will not
(i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the
Trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code or (ii) cause the REMIC
constituting the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding:
(i) within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall adopt and sign a plan of complete liquidation of the
REMIC meeting the requirements of a "Qualified Liquidation" under
Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder;
(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 to the Class
A-R Certificateholder for cash pursuant to the terms of the plan of
complete liquidation; and
(iii) at the time of the making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
distributed or credited to the Holders of each Class of the
Certificates, the related Class Certificate Principal Balance of the
Class, plus one month's interest thereon at the applicable
Pass-Through Rate, and the Trust shall terminate at such time.
(b) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby
agree to appoint the Trustee as their attorney in fact to: (i) adopt such a
plan of complete liquidation (and the Certificateholders hereby appoint the
Trustee as their attorney in fact to sign such plan) as appropriate and (ii)
to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably
required to carry out such plan of complete liquidation all in accordance with
the terms hereof.

ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 12.01. Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by Seller, the
Depositor and the Trustee; and without the consent of the Certificateholders,
(i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein
which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or
(iii) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions
arising under this Agreement, which shall not be inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that any such action listed
in clause (i) through (iii) above shall be deemed not to adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, if evidenced by
(i) written notice to the Depositor, the Seller and the Trustee from the
Rating Agencies that such action will not result in the reduction or
withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of Certificates with respect
to which it is a Rating Agency or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the
Trustee.
In addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by
Seller, the Depositor and the Trustee with the consent of the Majority
Certificateholders for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided,
however, that no such amendment or waiver shall (x) reduce in any manner the
amount of, or delay the timing of, payments on the Certificates that are
required to be made on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of
such Certificate, (y) adversely affect in any material respect the interests
of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as
described in clause (x) above, without the consent of the Holders of
Certificates of such Class evidencing at least a 66% Percentage Interest in
such Class, or (z) reduce the percentage of Voting Rights required by clause
(y) above without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class
then outstanding. Upon approval of an amendment, a copy of such amendment
shall be sent to the Rating Agencies.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel, delivered by and at the expense of
the Person seeking such Amendment (unless such Person is the Trustee, in which
case the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such expenses by the
Trust pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof), to the effect that such amendment will
not result in the imposition of a tax on any REMIC created hereunder pursuant
to the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding and that
the amendment is being made in accordance with the terms hereof.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall
furnish, at the expense of the Person that requested the amendment if such
Person is the Seller (but in no event at the expense of the Trustee),
otherwise at the expense of the Trust, a copy of such amendment and the
Opinion of Counsel referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph to the
Rating Agencies.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section 12.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment;
instead it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance
thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject
to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any
amendment pursuant to this 12.01 Section that affects its rights, duties and
immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.
SECTION 12.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject
to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in
all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the
Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public
recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Trustee
at the expense of the Trust, but only upon direction of Certificateholders
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation
materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute
but one and the same instrument.
SECTION 12.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (i)
operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, (ii) entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or
to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of
the Trust or (iii) otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of
the parties hereto or any of them.
Except as expressly provided for herein, no Certificateholder shall
have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall
anything herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be
construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be
under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the
parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision
of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at
law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder
previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of
the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders
of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have made
written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding
in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee
such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 15 days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is
understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder
with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more
Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue
of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights
of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to
obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, which priority or
preference is not otherwise provided for herein, or to enforce any right under
this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal,
ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section 12.03, each and every
Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be
given either at law or in equity.
SECTION 12.04. Governing Law; Jurisdiction.
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties
hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws. With respect to
any claim arising out of this Agreement, each party irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United
States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New
York, and each party irrevocably waives any objection which it may have at any
time to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of
or relating hereto brought in any such courts, irrevocably waives any claim

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as HarborView Mortgage Loan Trust 2000-2, Mortgage Loan
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2000-2 (herein collectively called the
"Certificates"), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust
created by the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that
it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for
payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders
for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as
expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
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 thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the first Business Day after the Servicer Remittance Date (the "Distribution
Date"), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face
hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the
close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the
product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the
amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to
which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the
Agreement.
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made, (i) in the case of a
Physical Certificate, by check or money order mailed to the address of the
person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register or, upon the
request of a Certificateholder, by wire transfer as set forth in the Agreement
and (ii) in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, to the Depository, which
shall credit the amounts of such distributions to the accounts of its
Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. The final
distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office or agency of the
Trustee specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any
time, by the Depositor, the Seller the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite
percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected
by such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the
Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and
upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon
the transfer hereof or in exchange 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
transfer at the office or agency maintained by the Trustee accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
Subject to the terms of the Agreement, each Class of Book-Entry
Certificates will be registered as being held by the Depository or its nominee
and beneficial interests will be held by Certificate Owners through the
book-entry facilities of the Depository or its nominee in minimum
denominations of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Seller and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor
or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
On any Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining
aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust is less than or
equal to 10% of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of
the Cut-Off Date, the Class A-R Certificateholder may purchase, in whole, from
the Trust the Mortgage Loans, at a purchase price determined as provided in
the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the
obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon
notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution Date on which
the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates has been
reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the last
Mortgage Loan in the Trust and (iii) the Distribution Date in December 2034.
In no event, however, will the trust created by the Agreement continue beyond
the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the
descendants living at the date of the Agreement of a certain person named in
the Agreement.
Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall
be deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of -----------------, the proposed
Transferee of a 100% Ownership Interest in the Class A-R Certificate (the
"Certificate") issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
(the "Agreement"), dated as of December 1, 2000, relating to the
above-referenced Certificates, among Greenwich Capital Acceptance, Inc.,
as Depositor, Greenwich Capital Financial Products, as Seller, and
Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., as Trustee. Capitalized terms
used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has
authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the
Transferee.
2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of
the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its
Ownership Interest for its own account.
3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will
be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not
Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor,
or, if such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker,
nominee or middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on
the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be
relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished
to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent Transferee is a
Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does not
have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false. The Transferee has
provided financial statements or other financial information requested by
the Transferor in connection with the transfer of the Certificate to
permit the Transferor to assess the financial capability of the
Transferee to pay such taxes.
4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be
imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any time
during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity.
The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any
period with respect to which the record holder furnishes to the
pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted
Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge
that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a "pass-through entity"
includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust
or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain
cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for
another Person.)
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the
Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by
reference) and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of
an Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation,
the restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding
voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees
to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the
Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The
Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of the
representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the
Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to
whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee
will not Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest
to be Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a
Permitted Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the
Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate
substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit L to the Agreement (a
"Transferor Certificate") to the effect that such Transferee has no
actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is
not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
Certificate.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is ------------
9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section 7701(a)(30).
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a "noneconomic
residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to
the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of
the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
11. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to ERISA
or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor are we acting
on behalf of or investing plan assets of such a plan.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed
on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its duly
authorized officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly
attested, this _______ day of ___________________ , 20 .
