ITEM 5. Other Events
On November 26, 1997, Norwest Asset Securities Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Registrant"), sold Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
1997-20, Class A-1, Class A-R, Class M, Class B-1 and Class B-2 (the "Offered
Certificates"), having an aggregate original principal balance of $168,603,205.
The Offered Certificates were issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of November 26, 1997, among the Registrant, Norwest Bank
Minnesota, National Association, as master servicer (the "Master Servicer" or
"Norwest Bank"), United States Trust Company of New York, as trustee, and First
Union National Bank, as trust administrator (the "Agreement"), a copy of which
is filed as an exhibit hereto. Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
1997-20, Class A-PO Certificates (having an initial principal balance of
$446,794.38), Class A-WIO Certificates (having no principal balance), and Class
B-3, Class B-4 and Class B-5 Certificates, having an aggregate initial principal
balance of $1,553,010.85 (the "Private Class B Certificates" and, together with
the Class A-PO and Class A-WIO Certificates and the Offered Certificates, the
"Certificates"), were also issued pursuant to the Agreement.
As of the date of initial issuance, the Offered Certificates evidenced an
approximate 99.09% undivided interest in a trust fund (the "Trust Estate"),
consisting principally of a pool of fixed interest rate, conventional, monthly
pay, fully-amortizing, one-to four-family residential first mortgage loans which
may include loans secured by shares issued by cooperative housing corporations.
The remaining undivided interests in the Trust Estate are evidenced by the
Private Class B Certificates, distributions on which are subordinated to
distributions on the Offered Certificates, and the Class A-PO and Class A-WIO
Certificates.
Interest on the Offered Certificates (other than the Class A-PO
Certificates) will be distributed on each Distribution Date (as defined in the
Agreement). Monthly distributions in reduction of the principal balance of the
Offered Certificates will be allocated to the Offered Certificates in accordance
with the priorities set forth in the Agreement. Distributions of interest and in
reduction of principal balance on any Distribution Date will be made to the
extent that the Pool Distribution Amount is sufficient therefor.
An election will be made to treat the Trust Estate a REMIC for federal
income tax purposes (the "REMIC"). The Class A-1, Class A-WIO, Class A-PO, Class
M, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4 and Class B-5 Certificates will be
treated as "regular interests" in the REMIC and the Class A-R Certificate will
be treated as the "residual interest" in the REMIC.

Date. The foregoing is subject to the following: (i) if the aggregate
distribution to Holders of Class A Certificates on any Distribution Date of the
Class A Prepayment Percentage provided above of (a) Unscheduled Principal
Receipts distributable on such Distribution Date would reduce the Class A Non-PO
Principal Balance below zero, the Class A Prepayment Percentage for such
Distribution Date shall be the percentage necessary to bring the Class A Non-PO
Principal Balance to zero and thereafter the Class A Prepayment Percentage shall
be zero and (ii) if the Class A Percentage as of any Distribution Date is
greater than the Original Class A Percentage, the Class A Prepayment Percentage
for such Distribution Date shall be 100%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with
respect to any Distribution Date on which the following criteria are not met,
the reduction of the Class A Prepayment Percentage described in the second
through sixth sentences of this definition of Class A Prepayment Percentage
shall not be applicable with respect to such Distribution Date. In such event,
the Class A Prepayment Percentage for such Distribution Date will be determined
in accordance with the applicable provision, as set forth in the first through
fifth sentences above, which was actually used to determine the Class A
Prepayment Percentage for the Distribution Date occurring in the November
preceding such Distribution Date (it being understood that for the purposes of
the determination of the Class A Prepayment Percentage for the current
Distribution Date, the current Class A Percentage and Subordinated Percentage
shall be utilized). In order for the reduction referred to in the second through
sixth sentences to be applicable, with respect to any Distribution Date (a) the
average outstanding principal balance on such Distribution Date and for the
preceding five Distribution Dates on the Mortgage Loans that were delinquent 60
days or more (including for this purpose any payments due with respect to
Mortgage Loans in foreclosure and REO Mortgage Loans) must be less than 50% of
the current Class M Principal Balance and the current Class B Principal Balance
and (b) cumulative Realized Losses shall not exceed (1) 30% of the Original
Subordinated Principal Balance if such Distribution Date occurs between and
including December 2002 and November 2003, (2) 35% of the Original Subordinated
Principal Balance if such Distribution Date occurs between and including
December 2003 and November 2004, (3) 40% of the Original Subordinated Principal
Balance if such Distribution Date occurs between and including December 2004 and
November 2005, (4) 45% of the Original Subordinated Principal Balance if such
Distribution Date occurs between and including December 2005 and November 2006,
and (5) 50% of the Original Subordinated Principal Balance if such Distribution
Date occurs during or after December 2006. With respect to any Distribution Date
on which the Class A Prepayment Percentage is reduced below the Class A
Prepayment Percentage for the prior Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall
certify to the Trust Administrator, based upon information provided by each
Servicer as to the Mortgage Loans serviced by it that the criteria set forth in
the preceding sentence are met.
Class A Principal Balance: As of any date, an amount equal to the sum of
the Class A Subclass Principal Balances for the Class A-1 Certificates, Class
A-PO Certificates and Class A-R Certificate.

ARTICLE II
CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THE CERTIFICATES
Section 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
The Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does
hereby assign to the Trustee, without recourse all the right, title and interest
of the Seller in and to (a) the Trust Estate, including all interest and
principal received by the Seller on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans after
the Cut-Off Date (and including scheduled payments of principal and interest due
after the Cut-Off Date but received by the Seller on or before the Cut-Off Date
and Unscheduled Principal Receipts received or applied on the Cut-Off Date, but
not including payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or
before the Cut-Off Date), (b) the Insurance Policies, (c) the obligations of the
Servicers under the Servicing Agreements with respect to the Mortgage Loans and
(d) proceeds of all the foregoing.
In connection with such assignment, the Seller shall, with respect to each
Mortgage Loan, deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trust Administrator, as
initial custodian, on or before the Closing Date, an Owner Mortgage Loan File.
If any Mortgage or an assignment of a Mortgage to the Trust Administrator or any
prior assignment is in the process of being recorded on the Closing Date, the
Seller shall deliver a copy thereof, certified by Norwest Mortgage or the
applicable Norwest Mortgage Correspondent to be a true and complete copy of the
document sent for recording, and the Seller shall use its best efforts to cause
each such original recorded document or certified copy thereof to be delivered
to the Trust Administrator promptly following its recordation, but in no event
later than one (1) year following the Closing Date. The Seller shall also cause
to be delivered to the Trust Administrator any other original mortgage loan
document to be included in the Owner Mortgage Loan File if a copy thereof has
been delivered. The Seller shall pay from its own funds, without any right of
reimbursement therefor, the amount of any costs, liabilities and expenses
incurred by the Trust Estate by reason of the failure of the Seller to cause to
be delivered to the Trust Administrator within one (1) year following the
Closing Date any original Mortgage or assignment of a Mortgage not delivered to
the Trust Administrator on the Closing Date.
In lieu of recording an assignment of any Mortgage the Seller may, to the
extent set forth in any Servicing Agreement, deliver or cause to be delivered to
the Trust Administrator the assignment of the Mortgage Loan from the Seller to
the Trust Administrator in a form suitable for recordation, together with an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that recording is not required to protect the
Trustee's right, title and interest in and to the related Mortgage Loan or, in
case a court should recharacterize the sale of the Mortgage Loans as a
financing, to perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Trustee
in the related Mortgage Loan. In the event that the Master Servicer receives
notice that recording is required to protect the right, title and interest of
the Trustee in and to any such Mortgage Loan for which recordation of an
assignment has not previously been required, the Master Servicer shall promptly
notify the Trust Administrator and the Trust Administrator shall within five
Business Days (or such other reasonable period of time mutually agreed upon by
the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator) of its receipt of such notice
deliver each previously unrecorded assignment to the related Servicer for
recordation.
Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trust Administrator.
The Trust Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, acknowledges receipt of
the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, the assignments and other documents required
to be delivered on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 2.01 above and declares
that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents constituting
a part of the Owner Mortgage Loan Files delivered to it in trust, upon the
trusts herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The Trust Administrator agrees, for the benefit of
Certificateholders, to review each Owner Mortgage Loan File within 45 days after
execution of this Agreement in order to ascertain that all required documents
set forth in Section 2.01 have been executed and received and appear regular on
their face, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in
the Mortgage Loan Schedule, and in so doing the Trust Administrator may rely on
the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the
purported genuineness of any signature thereon. If within such 45 day period the
Trust Administrator finds any document constituting a part of an Owner Mortgage
Loan File not to have been executed or received or to be unrelated to the
Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or not to appear regular
on its face, the Trust Administrator shall promptly (and in no event more than
30 days after the discovery of such defect) notify the Seller, which shall have
a period of 60 days after the date of such notice within which to correct or
cure any such defect. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees that, if any
material defect is not so corrected or cured, the Seller will, not later than 60
days after the Trust Administrator's notice to it referred to above respecting
such defect, either (i) repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or any property
acquired in respect thereof from the Trust Estate at a price equal to (a) 100%
of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan plus (b) accrued interest
at the Mortgage Interest Rate through the last day of the month in which such
repurchase takes place or (ii) if within two years of the Startup Day, or such
other period permitted by the REMIC Provisions, substitute for any Mortgage Loan
to which such material defect relates, a new mortgage loan (a "Substitute
Mortgage Loan") having such characteristics so that the representations and
warranties of the Seller set forth in Section 2.03(b) hereof (other than Section
2.03(b)(i)) would not have been incorrect had such Substitute Mortgage Loan
originally been a Mortgage Loan. In no event shall any Substitute Mortgage Loan
have an unpaid principal balance, as of the date of substitution, greater than
the Scheduled Principal Balance (reduced by the scheduled payment of principal
due on the Due Date in the month of substitution) of the Mortgage Loan for which
it is substituted. In addition, such Substitute Mortgage Loan shall have a
Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or equal to and a Mortgage Interest Rate equal to
that of the Mortgage Loan for which it is substituted.
In the case of a repurchased Mortgage Loan or property, the purchase price
shall be deposited by the Seller in the Certificate Account maintained by the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01. In the case of a Substitute Mortgage
Loan, the Owner Mortgage Loan File relating thereto shall be delivered to the
Trust Administrator and the Substitution Principal Amount, together with (i)
interest on such Substitution Principal Amount at the applicable Net Mortgage
Interest Rate to the following Due Date of such Mortgage Loan which is being
substituted for and (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of unreimbursed
Periodic Advances in respect of interest previously made by the Servicer, Master
Servicer or Trust Administrator with respect to such Mortgage Loan, shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account. The Monthly Payment on the Substitute
Mortgage Loan for the Due Date in the month of substitution shall not be part of
the Trust Estate. Upon receipt by the Trust Administrator of written
notification of any such deposit signed by an officer of the Seller, or the new
Owner Mortgage Loan File, as the case may be, the Trust Administrator shall
release to the Seller the related Owner Mortgage Loan File and shall execute and
deliver such instrument of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller legal and beneficial
ownership of such substituted or repurchased Mortgage Loan or property. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to substitute a new
Mortgage Loan for or repurchase any Mortgage Loan or property as to which such a
material defect in a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such defect available to the Certificateholders, the Trust
Administrator on behalf of the Trustee and the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. The failure of the Trust Administrator to give any notice
contemplated herein within forty-five (45) days after the execution of this
Agreement shall not affect or relieve the Seller's obligation to repurchase any
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02.
The Trust Administrator may, concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof or at any time thereafter, enter into a Custodial Agreement substantially
in the form of Exhibit E hereto pursuant to which the Trust Administrator
appoints a Custodian to hold the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, the assignments
and other documents related to the Mortgage Loans received by the Trust
Administrator, as agent for the Trustee in trust for the benefit of all present
and future Certificateholders, which may provide, among other things, that the
Custodian shall conduct the review of such documents required under the first
paragraph of this Section 2.02.
Section 2.03. Representations and Warranties of the Master Servicer and the
Seller.

of, any material contract, agreement or other instrument to which the
Master Servicer is a party or which may be applicable to the Servicer or
any of its assets;

considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

or might have consequences that would affect its performance hereunder; and

earth movement other than earthquake, windstorm, flood, tornado or similar

are initiated; and
(xxvi) If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a long-term residential
lease, (1) the lessor under the lease holds a fee simple interest in the
land; (2) the terms of such lease expressly permit the mortgaging of the
leasehold estate, the assignment of the lease without the lessor's consent

Mortgaged Property; any casualty resulting from the presence or effect of
hazardous wastes or hazardous substances on, near or emanating from any
Mortgaged Property; the impact on Certificateholders of any environmental
condition or presence of any hazardous substance on or near any Mortgaged
Property; or the compliance of any Mortgaged Property with any environmental
laws, nor is any agent, person or entity otherwise affiliated with the Seller
authorized or able to make any such representation, warranty or assumption of
liability relative to any Mortgaged Property. In addition, no representations or
warranties are made by the Seller with respect to the absence or effect of fraud
in the origination of any Mortgage Loan.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.03(b) shall survive delivery of the respective Owner
Mortgage Loan Files to the Trust Administrator and shall inure to the benefit of
the Trust Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee notwithstanding any
restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.
(c) Upon discovery by either the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator or the Custodian that any of the representations and
warranties made in subsection (b) above is not accurate (referred to herein as a
"breach") and that such breach materially and adversely affects the interests of
the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties (any Custodian
being so obligated under a Custodial Agreement). Within 60 days of the earlier
of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any such breach, the Seller shall
cure such breach in all material respects or shall either (i) repurchase the
Mortgage Loan or any property acquired in respect thereof from the Trust Estate
at a price equal to (A) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage
Loan plus (B) accrued interest at the Net Mortgage Interest Rate for such
Mortgage Loan through the last day of the month in which such repurchase took
place or (ii) if within two years of the Startup Day, or such other period
permitted by the REMIC Provisions, substitute for such Mortgage Loan in the
manner described in Section 2.02. The purchase price of any repurchase described
in this paragraph and the Substitution Principal Amount, if any, plus accrued
interest thereon and the other amounts referred to in Section 2.02, shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Seller to repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan or
property as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to
Certificateholders, the Trust Administrator on behalf of the Trustee or the
Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders, and such obligation shall survive until
termination of the Trust Estate hereunder.
Section 2.04. Execution and Delivery of Certificates.
The Trust Administrator acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage
Loans and the delivery of the Owner Mortgage Loan Files to it, and, concurrently
with such delivery, has executed and delivered to or upon the order of the
Seller, in exchange for the Mortgage Loans together with all other assets
included in the definition of "Trust Estate", receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, Certificates in authorized denominations which evidence ownership
of the entire Trust Estate.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST ESTATE: SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01. Certificate Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Certificate Account
for the deposit of funds received by the Master Servicer with respect to the
Mortgage Loans serviced by each Servicer pursuant to each of the Servicing
Agreements. Such account shall be maintained as an Eligible Account. The Master
Servicer shall give notice to each Servicer and the Seller of the location of
the Certificate Account and of any change in the location thereof.
(b) The Master Servicer shall deposit into the Certificate Account on the
day of receipt thereof all amounts received by it from any Servicer pursuant to
any of the Servicing Agreements, and shall, in addition, deposit into the
Certificate Account the following amounts, in the case of amounts specified in
clause (i), not later than the Distribution Date on which such amounts are
required to be distributed to Certificateholders and, in the case of the amounts
specified in clause (ii), not later than the Business Day next following the day
of receipt and posting by the Master Servicer:
(i) Periodic Advances pursuant to Section 3.03(a) made by the Master
Servicer or the Trust Administrator, if any and any amounts deemed received
by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01(d); and
(ii) in the case of any Mortgage Loan that is repurchased by the
Seller pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or that is auctioned by the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.08 or purchased by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.08 or 9.01, the purchase price therefor or, where
applicable, any Substitution Principal Amount and any amounts received in
respect of the interest portion of unreimbursed Periodic Advances.
(c) The Master Servicer shall cause the funds in the Certificate Account to
be invested in Eligible Investments. No such Eligible Investments will be sold
or disposed of at a gain prior to maturity unless the Master Servicer has
received an Opinion of Counsel or other evidence satisfactory to it that such
sale or disposition will not cause the Trust Estate to be subject to Prohibited
Transactions Tax, otherwise subject the Trust Estate to tax, or cause the Trust
Estate to fail to qualify as a REMIC while any Certificates are outstanding. Any
amounts deposited in the Certificate Account prior to the Distribution Date
shall be invested for the account of the Master Servicer and any investment
income thereon shall be additional compensation to the Master Servicer for
services rendered under this Agreement. The amount of any losses incurred in
respect of any such investments shall be deposited in the Certificate Account by
the Master Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized.
(d) For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer will be deemed to
have received from a Servicer on the applicable Remittance Date for such funds
all amounts deposited by such Servicer into the Custodial Account for P&I
maintained in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, if such
Custodial Account for P&I is not an Eligible Account as defined in this
Agreement, to the extent such amounts are not actually received by the Master
Servicer on such Remittance Date as a result of the bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or other financial distress of the depository institution in which
such Custodial Account for P&I is being held. To the extent that amounts so
deemed to have been received by the Master Servicer are subsequently remitted to
the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain such
amounts.
Section 3.02. Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the
Certificate Account for the following purposes (limited, in the case of Servicer
reimbursements, to cases where funds in the respective Custodial P&I Account are
not sufficient therefor):
(i) to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or any
Servicer for Periodic Advances made by the Master Servicer or the Trust
Administrator pursuant to Section 3.03(a) or any Servicer pursuant to any
Servicing Agreement with respect to previous Distribution Dates, such right
to reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (i) being limited to amounts
received on or in respect of particular Mortgage Loans (including, for this
purpose, Liquidation Proceeds, REO Proceeds and proceeds from the purchase,
sale, repurchase or substitution of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Sections
2.02, 2.03, 3.08 or 9.01) respecting which any such Periodic Advance was
made;
(ii) to reimburse any Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trust
Administrator for any Periodic Advances determined in good faith to have
become Nonrecoverable Advances;
(iii) to reimburse the Master Servicer or any Servicer from
Liquidation Proceeds for Liquidation Expenses and for amounts expended by
the Master Servicer or any Servicer pursuant hereto or to any Servicing
Agreement, respectively, in good faith in connection with the restoration
of damaged property or for foreclosure expenses;
(iv) from any Mortgagor payment on account of interest or other
recovery (including Net REO Proceeds) with respect to a particular Mortgage
Loan, to pay the Master Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan to
the Master Servicer;
(v) to reimburse the Master Servicer, any Servicer or the Trust
Administrator (or, in certain cases, the Seller) for expenses incurred by
it (including taxes paid on behalf of the Trust Estate) and recoverable by
or reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 3.03(c), 3.03(d) or 6.03 or the
second sentence of Section 8.14(a) or pursuant to such Servicer's Servicing
Agreement, provided such expenses are "unanticipated" within the meaning of
the REMIC Provisions;
(vi) to pay to the Seller or other purchaser with respect to each
Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that has been
repurchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or auctioned
pursuant to Section 3.08 or to pay to the Master Servicer with respect to
each Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect thereof that has been
purchased pursuant to Section 3.08 or 9.01, all amounts received thereon
and not required to be distributed as of the date on which the related
repurchase or purchase price or Scheduled Principal Balance was determined;
(vii) to remit funds to the Paying Agent in the amounts and in the
manner provided for herein;
(viii) to pay to the Master Servicer any interest earned on or
investment income with respect to funds in the Certificate Account;
(ix) to pay to the Master Servicer or any Servicer out of Net
Liquidation Proceeds allocable to interest the amount of any unpaid Master
Servicing Fee or Servicing Fee (as adjusted pursuant to such Servicer's
Servicing Agreement) and any unpaid assumption fees, late payment charges
or other Mortgagor charges on the related Mortgage Loan;
(x) to withdraw from the Certificate Account any amount deposited in
the Certificate Account that was not required to be deposited therein; and
(xi) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 9.01.
(b) The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any payment
to and withdrawal from the Certificate Account.
Section 3.03. Advances by Master Servicer and Trust Administrator.
(a) In the event an Other Servicer fails to make any required Periodic
Advances of principal and interest on a Mortgage Loan as required by the related
Other Servicing Agreement prior to the Distribution Date occurring in the month
during which such Periodic Advance is due, the Master Servicer shall make
Periodic Advances to the extent provided hereby. In the event Norwest Mortgage
fails to make any required Periodic Advances of principal and interest on a
Mortgage Loan as required by the Norwest Servicing Agreement prior to the
Distribution Date occurring in the month during which such Periodic Advance is
due, the Trust Administrator shall, to the extent required by Section 8.15, make
such Periodic Advance to the extent provided hereby, provided that the Trust
Administrator has previously received the certificate of the Master Servicer
described in the following sentence. The Master Servicer shall certify to the
Trust Administrator with respect to any such Distribution Date (i) the amount of
Periodic Advances required of Norwest Mortgage or such Other Servicer, as the
case may be, (ii) the amount actually advanced, (iii) the amount that the Trust
Administrator or Master Servicer is required to advance hereunder and (iv)
whether the Master Servicer has determined that it reasonably believes that such
Periodic Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. Amounts advanced by the Trust
Administrator or Master Servicer shall be deposited in the Certificate Account
on the related Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the
Master Servicer nor the Trust Administrator will be obligated to make a Periodic
Advance that it reasonably believes to be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trust
Administrator may conclusively rely for any determination to be made by it
hereunder upon the determination of the Master Servicer as set forth in its
certificate.
(b) To the extent an Other Servicer fails to make an advance on account of
the taxes or insurance premiums with respect to a Mortgage Loan required
pursuant to the related Other Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall, if
the Master Servicer knows of such failure of the Servicer, advance such funds
and take such steps as are necessary to pay such taxes or insurance premiums. To
the extent Norwest Mortgage fails to make an advance on account of the taxes or
insurance premiums with respect to a Mortgage Loan required pursuant to the
Norwest Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall, if the Master Servicer
knows of such failure of Norwest Mortgage, certify to the Trust Administrator
that such failure has occurred. Upon receipt of such certification, the Trust
Administrator shall advance such funds and take such steps as are necessary to
pay such taxes or insurance premiums.
(c) The Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator shall each be entitled
to be reimbursed from the Certificate Account for any Periodic Advance made by
it under Section 3.03(a) to the extent described in Section 3.02(a)(i) and
(a)(ii). The Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to be
reimbursed pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(v) for any advance by it pursuant to
Section 3.03(b). The Master Servicer shall diligently pursue restoration of such
amount to the Certificate Account from the related Servicer. The Master Servicer
shall, to the extent it has not already done so, upon the request of the Trust
Administrator, withdraw from the Certificate Account and remit to the Trust
Administrator any amounts to which the Trust Administrator is entitled as
reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.02 (a)(i), (ii) and (v).
(d) Except as provided in Section 3.03(a) and (b), neither the Master
Servicer nor the Trust Administrator shall be required to pay or advance any
amount which any Servicer was required, but failed, to deposit in the
Certificate Account.
Section 3.04. Trust Administrator to Cooperate; Release of Owner Mortgage Loan
Files.
Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of a Request for Release in
connection with the deposit by a Servicer into the Certificate Account of the
proceeds from a Liquidated Loan or of a Prepayment in Full, the Master Servicer
shall confirm to the Trust Administrator that all amounts required to be
remitted to the Certificate Account in connection with such Mortgage Loan have
been so deposited, and shall deliver such Request for Release to the Trust
Administrator. The Trust Administrator shall, within five Business Days of its
receipt of such a Request for Release, release the related Owner Mortgage Loan
File to the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as requested by the Master
Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction
or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Certificate Account.
From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of
any Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, collection under any insurance
policies, or to effect a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien
of the Mortgage, the Servicer of such Mortgage Loan shall deliver to the Master
Servicer a Request for Release. Upon the Master Servicer's receipt of any such
Request for Release, the Master Servicer shall promptly forward such request to
the Trust Administrator and the Trust Administrator shall, within five Business
Days, release the related Owner Mortgage Loan File to the Master Servicer or
such Servicer, as requested by the Master Servicer. Any such Request for Release
shall obligate the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as the case may be, to
return each and every document previously requested from the Owner Mortgage Loan
File to the Trust Administrator by the twenty-first day following the release
thereof, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation
Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Certificate
Account or (ii) the Owner Mortgage Loan File or such document has been delivered
to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by
law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings
for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or
non-judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered to the Trust Administrator
a certificate of the Master Servicer or such Servicer certifying as to the name
and address of the Person to which such Owner Mortgage Loan File or such
document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon
receipt of an Officer's Certificate of the Master Servicer or such Servicer
stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or
to be received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be
deposited into the Certificate Account have been so deposited, or that such
Mortgage Loan has become an REO Mortgage Loan, the Request for Release shall be
released by the Trust Administrator to the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as
appropriate.
Upon written certification of the Master Servicer or the Servicer of such
Mortgage Loan, the Trust Administrator shall execute and deliver to the Master
Servicer or such Servicer, as directed by the Master Servicer, court pleadings,
requests for trustee's sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or
trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought
to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to
obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights
provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in
equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or
documents be executed by the Trust Administrator and a statement as to the
reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and
delivery thereof by the Trust Administrator will not invalidate or otherwise
affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon
completion of the foreclosure proceeding or trustee's sale.
Section 3.05. Reports to the Trustee and Trust Administrator; Annual Compliance
Statements.
(a) Not later than 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator a statement
setting forth the status of the Certificate Account as of the close of business
on such Distribution Date stating that all distributions required to be made by
the Master Servicer under this Agreement have been made (or, if any required
distribution has not been made by the Master Servicer, specifying the nature and
status thereof) and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the
aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from such account for each
category of deposit and withdrawal specified in Sections 3.01 and 3.02. Such
statement may be in the form of the then current FNMA monthly accounting report
for its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program with appropriate additions and
changes, and shall also include information as to the aggregate unpaid principal
balance of all of the Mortgage Loans as of the close of business as of the last
day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution Date. Copies
of such statement shall be provided by the Trust Administrator to any
Certificateholder upon written request, provided such statement is delivered, or
caused to be delivered, by the Master Servicer to the Trust Administrator.
(b) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator on or before April 30 of each year, a certificate signed by an
officer of the Master Servicer, certifying that (i) such officer has reviewed
the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year or
portion thereof and its performance under this agreement and (ii) to the best of
such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has
performed and fulfilled its duties, responsibilities and obligations under this
agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a
default in the fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or obligations,
specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof, and, (iii) (A) the Master Servicer has received from each Servicer any
financial statements, officer's certificates, accountant's statements or other
information required to be provided to the Master Servicer pursuant to the
related Servicing Agreement and (B) to the best of such officer's knowledge,
based on a review of the information provided to the Master Servicer by each
Servicer as described in (iii)(A) above, each Servicer has performed and
fulfilled its duties, responsibilities and obligations under the related
Servicing Agreement in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there
has been a default in the fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or
obligations, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature
and status thereof. Copies of such officers' certificate shall be provided by
the Trust Administrator to any Certificateholder upon written request provided
such certificate is delivered, or caused to be delivered, by the Master Servicer
to the Trust Administrator.
Section 3.06. Title, Management and Disposition of Any REO Mortgage Loan.
The Master Servicer shall ensure that each REO Mortgage Loan is
administered by the related Servicer at all times so that it qualifies as
"foreclosure property" under the REMIC Provisions and that it does not earn any
"net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to tax under the REMIC
Provisions. In the event that a Servicer is unable to dispose of any REO
Mortgage Loan within the period mandated by each of the Servicing Agreements,
the Master Servicer shall monitor such Servicer to verify that such REO Mortgage
Loan is auctioned to the highest bidder within the period so specified. In the
event of any such sale of REO Mortgage Loan, the Trust Administrator shall, at
the written request of the Master Servicer and upon being supported with
appropriate forms therefor, within five Business Days of the deposit by the
Master Servicer of the proceeds of such sale or auction into the Certificate
Account, release or cause to be released to the entity identified by the Master
Servicer the related Owner Mortgage Loan File and Servicer Mortgage Loan File
and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in
each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the auction
purchaser title to the REO Mortgage Loan and the Trust Administrator shall have
no further responsibility with regard to such Owner Mortgage Loan File or
Servicer Mortgage Loan File. Neither the Trust Administrator, the Master
Servicer nor any Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust Estate, shall provide
financing from the Trust Estate to any purchaser of an REO Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.07. Amendments to Servicing Agreements, Modification of Standard
Provisions.
(a) Subject to the prior written consent of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator pursuant to Section 3.07(b), the Master Servicer from time to time
may, to the extent permitted by the applicable Servicing Agreement, make such
modifications and amendments to such Servicing Agreement as the Master Servicer
deems necessary or appropriate to confirm or carry out more fully the intent and
purpose of such Servicing Agreement and the duties, responsibilities and
obligations to be performed by the Servicer thereunder. Such modifications may
only be made if they are consistent with the REMIC Provisions, as evidenced by
an Opinion of Counsel. Prior to the issuance of any modification or amendment,
the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator
such Opinion of Counsel and an Officer's Certificate setting forth (i) the
provision that is to be modified or amended, (ii) the modification or amendment
that the Master Servicer desires to issue and (iii) the reason or reasons for
such proposed amendment or modification.
(b) The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall consent to any amendment
or supplement to a Servicing Agreement proposed by the Master Servicer pursuant
to Section 3.07(a), which consent and amendment shall not require the consent of
any Certificateholder if it is (i) for the purpose of curing any mistake or
ambiguity or to further effect or protect the rights of the Certificateholders
or (ii) for any other purpose, provided such amendment or supplement for such
other purpose cannot reasonably be expected to adversely affect
Certificateholders. The lack of reasonable expectation of an adverse effect on
Certificateholders may be established through the delivery to the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator of (i) an Opinion of Counsel to such effect or (ii)
written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that such amendment
or supplement will not result in reduction of the current rating assigned by
that Rating Agency to the Certificates. Notwithstanding the two immediately
preceding sentences, either the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may, in its
discretion, decline to enter into or consent to any such supplement or amendment
if its own rights, duties or immunities shall be adversely affected.
(c)(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.07, the
Master Servicer from time to time may, without the consent of any
Certificateholder, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, enter into an
amendment (A) to an Other Servicing Agreement for the purpose of (i) eliminating
or reducing Month End Interest and (ii) providing for the remittance of Full
Unscheduled Principal Receipts by the applicable Servicer to the Master Servicer
not later than the 24th day of each month (or if such day is not a Business Day,
on the previous Business Day) or (B) to the Norwest Servicing Agreement for the
purpose of changing the applicable Remittance Date to the 18th day of each month
(or if such day is not a Business Day, on the previous Business Day).
(ii) The Master Servicer may direct Norwest Mortgage to enter into an
amendment to the Norwest Servicing Agreement for the purposes described in
Sections 3.07(c)(i)(B) and 10.01(b)(iii).
Section 3.08. Oversight of Servicing.
The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the servicing of
the Mortgage Loans by each Servicer and the performance by each Servicer of all
services, duties, responsibilities and obligations that are to be observed or
performed by the Servicer under its respective Servicing Agreement. In
performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner
consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices and with the Trustee's, the
Trust Administrator's and the Certificateholders' reliance on the Master
Servicer, and in a manner consistent with the terms and provisions of any
insurance policy required to be maintained by the Master Servicer or any
Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. The Master
Servicer acknowledges that prior to taking certain actions required to service
the Mortgage Loans, each Servicing Agreement provides that the Servicer
thereunder must notify, consult with, obtain the consent of or otherwise follow
the instructions of the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer is also given
authority to waive compliance by a Servicer with certain provisions of its
Servicing Agreement. In each such instance, the Master Servicer shall promptly
instruct such Servicer or otherwise respond to such Servicer's request. In no
event will the Master Servicer instruct such Servicer to take any action, give
any consent to action by such Servicer or waive compliance by such Servicer with
any provision of such Servicer's Servicing Agreement if any resulting action or
failure to act would be inconsistent with the requirements of the Rating
Agencies that rated the Certificates or would otherwise have an adverse effect
on the Certificateholders. Any such action or failure to act shall be deemed to
have an adverse effect on the Certificateholders if such action or failure to
act either results in (i) the downgrading of the rating assigned by any Rating
Agency to the Certificates, (ii) the loss by the Trust Estate of REMIC status
for federal income tax purposes or (iii) the imposition of any Prohibited
Transaction Tax or any federal taxes on the REMIC or the Trust Estate. The
Master Servicer shall have full power and authority in its sole discretion to
take any action with respect to the Trust Estate as may be necessary or
advisable to avoid the circumstances specified including clause (ii) or (iii) of
the preceding sentence.
For the purposes of determining whether any modification of a Mortgage Loan
shall be permitted by the Trust Administrator or the Master Servicer, such
modification shall be construed as a substitution of the modified Mortgage Loan
for the Mortgage Loan originally deposited in the Trust Estate if it would be a
"significant modification" within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the
regulations of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. No modification shall be
approved unless (i) the modified Mortgage Loan would qualify as a Substitute
Mortgage Loan under Section 2.02 and (ii) with respect to any modification that
occurs more than three months after the Closing Date and is not the result of a
default or a reasonably foreseeable default under the Mortgage Loan, there is
delivered to the Trust Administrator an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of
the party seeking to modify the Mortgage Loan) to the effect that such
modification would not be treated as giving rise to a new debt instrument for
federal income tax purposes as described in the preceding sentence.
During the term of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall consult fully
with each Servicer as may be necessary from time to time to perform and carry
out the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder and otherwise exercise
reasonable efforts to encourage such Servicer to perform and observe the
covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by it under
its Servicing Agreement.
The relationship of the Master Servicer to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an
independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
The Master Servicer shall administer the Trust Estate on behalf of the
Trustee and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or (subject to
Section 6.06) through one or more subcontractors, to do any and all things in
connection with such administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.
Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and from time to time as may
be required thereafter, the Trust Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall
furnish the Master Servicer or its subcontractors with any powers of attorney
and such other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to enable the Master
Servicer to carry out its administrative duties hereunder.
The Seller shall be entitled, at its option, to repurchase any defaulted
Mortgage Loan or any Mortgage Loan as to which default is reasonably foreseeable
from the Trust Estate if, in the Seller's judgment, the default is not likely to
be cured by the Mortgagor; provided, however, that the Cut-Off Date Principal
Balances of the Mortgage Loans repurchased pursuant to this provision shall not
exceed 2.5% of the Cut-Off Date Aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans. The purchase price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be 100% of the unpaid
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan plus accrued interest thereon at the
Mortgage Interest Rate through the last day of the month in which such
repurchase occurs. Upon the receipt of such purchase price, the Master Servicer
shall provide to the Trust Administrator the certification required by Section
3.04 and the Trust Administrator and the Custodian, if any, shall promptly
release to the Seller the Owner Mortgage Loan File relating to the Mortgage Loan
being repurchased.
In the event that (i) the Master Servicer determines at any time that,
notwithstanding the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.03(b),
any Mortgage Loan is not a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section
860G of the Code and (ii) the Master Servicer is unable to enforce the
obligation of the Seller to purchase such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02
within two months of such determination, the Master Servicer shall cause such
Mortgage Loan to be auctioned to the highest bidder and sold out of the Trust
Estate no later than the date 90 days after such determination. In the event of
any such sale of a Mortgage Loan, the Trust Administrator shall, at the written
request of the Master Servicer and upon being supported with appropriate forms
therefor, within five Business Days of the deposit by the Master Servicer of the
proceeds of such auction into the Certificate Account, release or cause to be
released to the entity identified by the Master Servicer the related Owner
Mortgage Loan File and Servicer Mortgage Loan File and shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as
shall be necessary to vest in the auction purchaser title to the Mortgage Loan
and the Trust Administrator shall have no further responsibility with regard to
such Owner Mortgage Loan File or Servicer Mortgage Loan File. Neither the Trust
Administrator, the Master Servicer nor any Servicer, acting on behalf of the
Trust Administrator, shall provide financing from the Trust Estate to any
purchaser of a Mortgage Loan.
The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Administrator, shall, pursuant
to the Servicing Agreements, object to the foreclosure upon, or other related
conversion of the ownership of, any Mortgaged Property by the related Servicer
if (i) the Master Servicer believes such Mortgaged Property may be contaminated
with or affected by hazardous wastes or hazardous substances or (ii) such
Servicer does not agree to administer such Mortgaged Property, once the related
Mortgage Loan becomes an REO Mortgage Loan, in a manner which would not result
in a federal tax being imposed upon the Trust Estate or the REMIC.
The Master Servicer may enter into a special servicing agreement with an
unaffiliated holder of 100% Percentage Interest of a Class B Subclass or a
holder of a class of securities representing interests in the Class B
Certificates and/or other subordinated mortgage pass-through certificates, such
agreement to be substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto or subject to each
Rating Agency's acknowledgment that the ratings of the Certificates in effect
immediately prior to the entering into of such agreement would not be qualified,
downgraded or withdrawn and the Certificates would not be placed on credit
review status (except for possible upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any
such agreement may contain provisions whereby such holder may instruct the
Master Servicer to instruct a Servicer to the extent provided in the applicable
Servicing Agreement to commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with respect to
delinquent Mortgage Loans and will contain provisions for the deposit of cash by
the holder that would be available for distribution to Certificateholders if
Liquidation Proceeds are less than they otherwise may have been had the Servicer
acted in accordance with its normal procedures.
Section 3.09. Termination and Substitution of Servicing Agreements.
Upon the occurrence of any event for which a Servicer may be terminated
pursuant to its Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver
to the Seller, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee an Officer's Certificate
certifying that an event has occurred which may justify termination of such
Servicing Agreement, describing the circumstances surrounding such event and
recommending what action should be taken by the Trustee with respect to such
Servicer. If the Master Servicer recommends that such Servicing Agreement be
terminated, the Master Servicer's certification must state that the breach is
material and not merely technical in nature. Upon written direction of the
Master Servicer, based upon such certification, the Trustee shall promptly
terminate such Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that (i) Norwest Mortgage fails to make any advance, as a consequence of which
the Trust Administrator is obligated to make an advance pursuant to Section 3.03
and (ii) the Trust Administrator provides Norwest Mortgage written notice of the
failure to make such advance and such failure shall continue unremedied for a
period of 15 days after receipt of such notice, the Trust Administrator shall
recommend to the Trustee the termination of the Norwest Servicing Agreement
without the recommendation of the Master Servicer and upon such recommendation
the Trustee shall terminate the Norwest Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer
shall indemnify the Trustee and the Trust Administrator and hold each harmless
from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of, or assessed
against the Trustee or the Trust Administrator in connection with termination of
a Servicing Agreement at the direction of the Master Servicer. In addition, the
Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and hold it harmless from and
against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of, or assessed against the
Trustee in connection with the termination of the Norwest Servicing Agreement as
provided in the second preceding sentence. If the Trustee terminates such
Servicing Agreement, the Trustee may enter into a substitute Servicing Agreement
with the Master Servicer or, at the Master Servicer's nomination, with another
mortgage loan service company acceptable to the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency under which the Master
Servicer or such substitute servicer, as the case may be, shall assume, satisfy,
perform and carry out all liabilities, duties, responsibilities and obligations
that are to be, or otherwise were to have been, satisfied, performed and carried
out by such Servicer under such terminated Servicing Agreement. Until such time
as the Trustee enters into a substitute servicing agreement with respect to the
Mortgage Loans previously serviced by such Servicer, the Master Servicer shall
assume, satisfy, perform and carry out all obligations which otherwise were to
have been satisfied, performed and carried out by such Servicer under its
terminated Servicing Agreement. However, in no event shall the Master Servicer
be deemed to have assumed the obligations of a Servicer to advance payments of
principal and interest on a delinquent Mortgage Loan in excess of the Master
Servicer's independent Periodic Advance obligation under Section 3.03 of this
Agreement. As compensation for the Master Servicer of any servicing obligations
fulfilled or assumed by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to any servicing compensation to which a Servicer would have been
entitled if the Servicing Agreement with such Servicer had not been terminated.
Section 3.10. 1934 Act Reports.
The Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the Seller, make all filings
required to be made by the Seller with respect to the Class A Certificates
(other than the Class A-PO and Class A-WIO), the Class M Certificates and the
Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.

Unpaid Interest Shortfall;
nineteenth, to the Class B-4 Certificates in an amount up to the Class B-4
Optimal Principal Amount; provided, however, that the amount distributable to
the Class B-4 Certificates pursuant to this Paragraph nineteenth will be reduced
by the amount, if any, that would have been distributable to the Class B-4
Certificates hereunder used to pay the Class A-PO Deferred Amount as provided in
Paragraph fourth above;

reduced by the amount, if any, that would have been distributable to the Class
B-5 Certificates hereunder used to pay the Class A-PO Deferred Amount as
provided in Paragraph fourth above; and
twenty-third, to the Holder of the Class A-R Certificate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Principal Balance or notional
amount of any Class or Subclass (other than the Class A-R Certificate) has been
reduced to zero, such Class or Subclass will be entitled to no further
distributions of principal or interest (including, without limitation, any
Unpaid Interest Shortfalls).
In addition, Net Foreclosure Profits, if any, with respect to such
Distribution Date minus any portion thereof payable to a Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.02(ix) hereof shall be distributed to the Holder of the Class A-R
Certificate.
With respect to any Distribution Date, the amount of the Principal
Adjustment, if any, attributable to any Class B Subclass will be allocated pro
rata based on principal balance among the Class A Certificates (other than the
Class A-WIO and Class A-PO Certificates), the Class M Certificates and any Class
B Subclass with a lower numerical designation and the amount of the Principal
Adjustment, if any, attributable to the Class M Certificates will be allocated
to the Subclasses of Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-WIO and Class
A-PO Certificates) pro rata based on the Class A Subclass Principal Balances.
(b) The Class A-WIO Certificates are interest-only Certificates and are not
entitled to distributions in respect of principal.
On each Distribution Date occurring prior to the Cross-Over Date, the Class
A Non-PO Principal Distribution Amount will be allocated among and distributed
in reduction of the Class A Subclass Principal Balances of the Subclasses of
Class A Certificates (other than the Class A Subclass Principal Balance of the
Class A-PO Certificates) concurrently, as follows:
first, to the Class A-R Certificate until the Class A Subclass Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and
second, to the Class A-1 Certificates until the Class A Subclass Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Distribution Date occurring on
or subsequent to the Cross-Over Date, the Class A Non-PO Principal Distribution
Amount shall be distributed among the Subclasses of Class A Certificates (other
than the Class A-PO Certificates) pro rata in accordance with their outstanding
Class A Subclass Principal Balances without regard to either the proportions or
the priorities set forth in Section 4.01(b).
(d) (i) For purposes of determining whether the Subclasses of Class B
Certificates are eligible to receive distributions of principal with respect to
any Distribution Date, the following tests shall apply:
(A) if the Current Class M Fractional Interest is less than the
Original Class M Fractional Interest and the Class M Principal Balance is
greater than zero, the Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4 and Class
B-5 Certificates shall not be eligible to receive distributions of
principal; or
(B) if the Current Class B-1 Fractional Interest is less than the
Original Class B-1 Fractional Interest and the Class B-1 Principal Balance
is greater than zero, the Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4 and Class B-5
Certificates shall not be eligible to receive distributions of principal;
or
(C) if the Current Class B-2 Fractional Interest is less than the
Original Class B-2 Fractional Interest and the Class B-2 Principal Balance
is greater than zero, the Class B-3, Class B-4 and Class B-5 Certificates
shall not be eligible to receive distributions of principal; or
(D) if the Current Class B-3 Fractional Interest is less than the
Original Class B-3 Fractional Interest and the Class B-3 Principal Balance
is greater than zero, the Class B-4 and Class B-5 Certificates shall not be
eligible to receive distributions of principal; or
(E) if the Current Class B-4 Fractional Interest is less than the
Original Class B-4 Fractional Interest and the Class B-4 Principal Balance
is greater than zero, the Class B-5 Certificates shall not be eligible to
receive distributions of principal.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on any Distribution Date the
aggregate distributions to Holders of the Class M Certificates and/or the
Subclasses of Class B Certificates entitled to receive distributions of
principal would reduce the Class M Principal Balance and/or the Class B Subclass
Principal Balances of the Class M Certificates and/or the Subclasses of Class B
Certificates entitled to receive distributions of principal below zero, first
the Class M Prepayment Percentage and/or the Class B Subclass Prepayment
Percentage of any affected Class B Subclass for such Distribution Date beginning
with the affected Subclass with the lowest numerical Subclass designation and
then, if necessary, the Class M Percentage and/or the Class B Subclass
Percentage of such Subclass of the Class B Certificates for such Distribution
Date shall be reduced to the respective percentages necessary to bring the Class
M Principal Balance and/or the Class B Subclass Principal Balance of such Class
B Subclass to zero. The Class B Subclass Prepayment Percentages and the Class B
Subclass Percentages of the remaining Class B Subclasses will be recomputed
substituting for the Subordinated Prepayment Percentage and Subordinated
Percentage in such computations the difference between (A) the Subordinated
Prepayment Percentage or Subordinated Percentage, as the case may be, and (B)
the percentages determined in accordance with the preceding sentence necessary
to bring the Class M Principal Balance and/or the Class B Subclass Principal
Balances of the affected Class B Subclasses to zero; provided, however, that if
the Class B Subclass Principal Balances of all the Class B Subclasses eligible
to receive distributions of principal shall be reduced to zero on such
Distribution Date, the Class B Subclass Prepayment Percentage and the Class B
Subclass Percentage of the Class B Subclass with the lowest numerical Subclass
designation which would otherwise be ineligible to receive distributions of
principal in accordance with this Section shall equal the remainder of the
Subordinated Prepayment Percentage for such Distribution Date minus the sum of
the Class M Prepayment Percentage and the Class B Subclass Prepayment
Percentages of the Class B Subclasses having lower numerical Subclass
designations, if any, and the remainder of the Subordinated Percentage for such
Distribution Date minus the sum of the Class M Percentage and the Class B
Subclass Percentages of the Class B Subclasses having lower numerical Subclass
designations, if any, respectively. Any entitlement of any Class B Subclass to
principal payments solely pursuant to this clause (ii) shall not cause such
Subclass to be regarded as being eligible to receive principal distributions for
the purpose of applying the definition of its Class B Subclass Percentage or
Class B Subclass Prepayment Percentage.
(e) On each Distribution Date other than the Final Distribution Date (if
such Final Distribution Date is in connection with a purchase of the assets of
the Trust Estate by the Seller), the Paying Agent shall, on behalf of the Master
Servicer, from funds remitted to it by the Master Servicer, distribute to each
Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date (other than as provided
in Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution to Certificateholders or in
the last paragraph of this Section 4.01(e) respecting the final distribution in
respect of any Class or Subclass) either in immediately available funds by wire
transfer to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity
having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder holds
Certificates having a Denomination at least equal to that specified in Section
11.24, and has so notified the Master Servicer or, if applicable, the Paying
Agent at least seven Business Days prior to the Distribution Date or, if such
Holder holds Certificates having, in the aggregate, a Denomination less than the
requisite minimum Denomination or if such Holder holds the Class A-R Certificate
or has not so notified the Paying Agent, by check mailed to such Holder at the
address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register, such Holder's
share (based on, with respect to each Class or Subclass, the aggregate of the
Percentage Interests represented by Certificates of the applicable Class or
Subclass of Certificates held by such Holder) of the Class A Subclass
Distribution Amount with respect to each Subclass of Class A Certificates, the
Class M Distribution Amount with respect to the Class M Certificates and the
Class B Subclass Distribution Amount with respect to each such Subclass of Class
B Certificates.
In the event that, on any Distribution Date prior to the Final Distribution
Date, the Class A Subclass Principal Balance of any Subclass of Class A
Certificates (other than the Class A-R Certificate), the Class M Principal
Balance of the Class M Certificates or the Class B Subclass Principal Balance of
any Subclass of Class B Certificates or the notional amount of the Class A-WIO
Certificates would be reduced to zero, the Master Servicer shall, as soon as
practicable after the Determination Date relating to such Distribution Date,
send a notice to the Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator will then send
a notice to each Certificateholder of such Class or Subclass with a copy to the
Certificate Registrar, specifying that the final distribution with respect to
such Class or Subclass will be made on such Distribution Date only upon the
presentation and surrender of such Certificateholder's Certificates at the
office or agency of the Trust Administrator therein specified; provided,
however, that the failure to give such notice will not entitle a
Certificateholder to any interest beyond the interest payable with respect to
such Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01(a).
(f) The Paying Agent (or if no Paying Agent is appointed by the Master
Servicer, the Master Servicer) shall withhold or cause to be withheld such
amounts as may be required by the Code (giving full effect to any exemptions
from withholding and related certifications required to be furnished by
Certificateholders and any reductions to withholding by virtue of any bilateral
tax treaties and any applicable certification required to be furnished by
Certificateholders with respect thereto) from distributions to be made to
Persons other than U.S. Persons ("Non-U.S. Persons"). Amounts withheld pursuant
to this Section 4.01(f) shall be treated as having been distributed to the
related Certificateholder for all purposes of this Agreement. For the purposes
of this paragraph, a "U.S. Person" is a citizen or resident of the United
States, a corporation, partnership (except to the extent provided in applicable
Treasury regulations) or other entity created or organized in or under the laws
of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, an estate that is
subject to United States federal income tax regardless of the source of its
income or a trust if (i) for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1996 (or
for taxable years ending after August 20, 1996, if the trustee has made an
applicable election), a court within the United States is able to exercise
primary supervision over the administration of such trust, and one or more such
U.S. Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such
trust or (ii) for all other taxable years, such trust is subject to United
States federal income tax regardless of the source of its income (or, to the
extent provided in applicable Treasury regulations, certain trusts in existence
on August 20, 1996 which are eligible to elect to be treated as U.S. Persons).
Section 4.02. Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) With respect to any Distribution Date, the principal portion of
Realized Losses (other than Debt Service Reductions, Excess Special Hazard
Losses, Excess Fraud Losses and Excess Bankruptcy Losses) will be allocated as
follows:
first, to the Class B-5 Certificates until the Class B-5 Principal Balance
has been reduced to zero;
second, to the Class B-4 Certificates until the Class B-4 Principal Balance
has been reduced to zero;
third, to the Class B-3 Certificates until the Class B-3 Principal Balance
has been reduced to zero;
fourth, to the Class B-2 Certificates until the Class B-2 Principal Balance
has been reduced to zero;
fifth, to the Class B-1 Certificates until the Class B-1 Principal Balance
has been reduced to zero;
sixth, to the Class M Certificates until the Class M Principal Balance has
been reduced to zero; and
seventh, concurrently, to the Class A Certificates (other than the Class
A-PO Certificates) and Class A-PO Certificates, pro rata, based on the Non-PO
Fraction and the PO Fraction, respectively.
This allocation of Realized Losses will be effected through the reduction
of the applicable Class's or Subclass's Principal Balance.
(b) With respect to any Distribution Date, the principal portion of Excess
Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses and Excess Bankruptcy Losses
occurring with respect to any Mortgage Loan allocable to the Class A-PO
Certificates will equal the product of the amount of any such principal loss and
the PO Fraction for such Mortgage Loan. The principal portion of any Excess
Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses and Excess Bankruptcy Losses
remaining after allocation to the Class A-PO Certificates in accordance with the
preceding sentence shall be allocated pro rata among the Class A Certificates
(other than the Class A-PO Certificates), Class M Certificates and Class B
Certificates based on the Class A Non-PO Principal Balance, Class M Principal
Balance and the Class B Principal Balance, respectively. Any such loss allocated
to the Class A Certificates shall be allocated on the subsequent Determination
Date among the outstanding Subclasses of Class A Certificates (other than the
Class A-PO Certificates) in accordance with the Class A Subclass Loss
Percentages as of such Determination Date. Any such loss allocated to the Class
B Certificates shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Subclasses of
Class B Certificates based on their Class B Subclass Principal Balances.
(c) Any Realized Losses allocated to a Subclass of Class A Certificates or
Class B Certificates or to the Class M Certificates pursuant to Section 4.02(a)
or Section 4.02(b) shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Subclass or
Class based on their Percentage Interests.
(d) In the event that there is a Recovery of an amount in respect of
principal of a Mortgage Loan which had previously been allocated as a Realized
Loss to any Subclasses of Class A Certificates, the Class M Certificates or any
Subclasses of Class B Certificates, each outstanding Class or Subclass to which
such Realized Loss had previously been allocated shall be entitled to its share
(with respect to the Class A-PO Certificates, based on the PO Fraction of such
Mortgage Loan and, with respect to the Class A Certificates (other than the
Class A-PO Certificates), Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates, based
on their pro rata share of the Non-PO Fraction of such Mortgage Loan) of such
Recovery up to the amount of such Realized Loss previously allocated to such
Class or Subclass on the Distribution Date in the month following the month in
which such recovery is received. When the Principal Balance of a Class or
Subclass of Certificates has been reduced to zero, such Class or Subclass shall
not be entitled to any share of such Recovery. In the event that the amount of
such Recovery exceeds the amount of such Recovery allocated to each outstanding
Class or Subclass in accordance with the preceding provisions, each outstanding
Class or Subclass shall be entitled to its pro rata share (determined as
described above) of such excess up to the amount of any unrecovered Realized
Loss previously allocated to such Class or Subclass. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions, but subject to the following proviso, if such Recovery
occurs within two years of the realization of such loss and (i) is the result of
an event that would have given rise to the repurchase of the related Mortgage
Loan by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03, or (ii) represents in whole
or part funds which the applicable Servicer had received in respect of a
Liquidated Loan but failed to remit to the Certificate Account on or prior to
the Business Day preceding the Distribution Date following the Applicable
Unscheduled Principal Receipt Period in which the Mortgage Loan became a
Liquidated Loan, such Recovery may, at the sole discretion of the Master
Servicer, be treated as a repurchase or an Unscheduled Principal Receipt with
respect to such Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, the Realized Loss previously
recognized may be reversed and treated for all subsequent purposes as if it had
never occurred and the Master Servicer may make such adjustments to interest or
principal distributions on the Certificates and to the principal balances of the
Certificates as the Master Servicer in its good faith judgment and sole
discretion deems necessary or desirable to effectuate the reversal of the
Realized Loss and the treatment of such amount as a repurchase or as an
Unscheduled Principal Receipt, as the case may be; provided that such actions do
not result in the aggregate distributions made in respect of each Class and
Subclass of Certificates whose principal balances were previously reduced as a
result of such Realized Loss being less than such Class or Subclass would have
received if such Recovery had been deposited in the Certificate Account on or
prior to the Business Day preceding the Distribution Date following the
Applicable Unscheduled Principal Receipt Period in which the Mortgage Loan
became a Liquidated Loan.
(e) The interest portion of Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud
Losses and Excess Bankruptcy Losses shall be allocated among the Class A
Certificates, Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates, pro rata based on
the Class A Interest Accrual Amount, the Class M Interest Accrual Amount and the
Class B Interest Accrual Amount for the related Distribution Date, without
regard to any reduction pursuant to this sentence. Any such loss allocated to
the Class A Certificates shall be allocated among the outstanding Subclasses of
Class A Certificates based on their Class A Subclass Interest Percentages. Any
such loss allocated to the Class B Certificates will be allocated among the
outstanding Subclasses of Class B Certificates based on their Class B Subclass
Interest Percentages. In addition, after the Class M Principal Balance and the
Class B Principal Balance have been reduced to zero, the interest portion of
Realized Losses (other than Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses
and Excess Bankruptcy Losses) will be allocated among the outstanding Subclasses
of Class A Certificates based on their Class A Subclass Interest Percentages.
(f) Realized Losses allocated in accordance with this Section 4.02 will be
allocated on the Determination Date in the second month following the month in
which such loss was incurred with respect to the preceding Distribution Date.
Section 4.03. Paying Agent.
(a) The Master Servicer hereby appoints the Trust Administrator as initial
Paying Agent to make distributions to Certificateholders and to forward to
Certificateholders the periodic statements and the annual statements required by
Section 4.04 as agent of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer may, at any time, remove or replace the Paying Agent.
The Master Servicer shall cause any Paying Agent that is not the Trust
Administrator to execute and deliver to the Trust Administrator an instrument in
which such Paying Agent agrees with the Trust Administrator that such Paying
Agent shall:
(i) hold all amounts remitted to it by the Master Servicer for
distribution to Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of
Certificateholders until such amounts are distributed to Certificateholders
or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;
(ii) give the Trust Administrator notice of any default by the Master
Servicer in remitting any required amount; and
(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the
written request of the Trust Administrator, forthwith pay to the Trust
Administrator all amounts held in trust by such Paying Agent.
(b) The Paying Agent shall establish and maintain a Payment Account, which
shall be a separate trust account and an Eligible Account, in which the Master
Servicer shall cause to be deposited from funds in the Certificate Account or,

a.m., New York time, on the Business Day preceding each Distribution Date, by
wire transfer of immediately available funds, any Periodic Advance for such

New York time, on the Business Day preceding each Distribution Date, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds, (a) an amount equal to the Pool
Distribution Amount, (b) Net Foreclosure Profits, if any, with respect to such
Distribution Date and (c) the amount of any recovery in respect of a Realized
Loss. The Master Servicer may cause the Paying Agent to invest the funds in the
Payment Account. Any such investment shall be in Eligible Investments, which
shall mature not later than the Business Day preceding the related Distribution
Date (unless the Eligible Investments are obligations of the Trust
Administrator, in which case such Eligible Investments shall mature not later
than the Distribution Date), and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to
maturity. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the
benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order
from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such
investments shall be deposited in the Payment Account by the Master Servicer out
of its own funds immediately as realized. The Paying Agent may withdraw from the
Payment Account any amount deposited in the Payment Account that was not
required to be deposited therein and may clear and terminate the Payment Account
pursuant to Section 9.01.
Section 4.04. Statements to Certificateholders; Report to the Trust
Administrator and the Seller.
Concurrently with each distribution pursuant to Section 4.01(e), the Master

upon the same without any independent check or verification.
In addition to the reports required pursuant to this Section 4.04, the
Master Servicer shall make available upon request to each Holder and each

Actions of Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer will compute the amount of all distributions to be made

event that the Master Servicer concludes that any ambiguity or uncertainty
exists in any provisions of this Agreement relating to distributions to be made

in good faith to implement such interpretation shall be binding upon
Certificateholders.

THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates shall be issued only in
minimum Denominations of a Single Certificate and, except for the Class A-R
Certificate, integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof or 1% Percentage
Interest in the case of the Class A-WIO Certificates (except, if necessary, for
one Certificate of each Class or Subclass (other than the Class A-WIO and Class
A-R Certificates) that evidences one Single Certificate plus such additional
principal portion as is required in order for all Certificates of such Class or
Subclass to equal the aggregate Original Class A Subclass Principal Balance,
Original Class M Principal Balance or the aggregate Original Class B Subclass
Principal Balance of such Class or Subclass, as the case may be), and shall be
substantially in the respective forms set forth as Exhibits A-1, A-PO, A-WIO,
A-R, B-1, B-2, B-3, B-4, B-5, C, and D (reverse side of Certificates) hereto. On
original issue the Certificates shall be executed and delivered by the Trust
Administrator to or upon the order of the Seller upon receipt by the Trust
Administrator or the Custodian of the documents specified in Section 2.01. The
aggregate principal portion evidenced by the Class A, Class M and Class B
Certificates shall be the sum of the amounts specifically set forth in the
respective Certificates. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or
facsimile signature on behalf of the Trust Administrator by any Responsible
Officer thereof. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Trust Administrator
shall bind the Trust Administrator notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless manually countersigned by a
Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator, or unless there appears on such
Certificate a certificate of authentication executed by the Authenticating Agent
by manual signature, and such countersignature or certificate upon a 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.
Until such time as Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section
5.07, each Book-Entry Certificate shall bear the following legend:
"Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of
[the Clearing Agency] to the Trust Administrator or its agent for registration
of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in
the name of [the Clearing Agency] or such other name as requested by an
authorized representative of [the Clearing Agency] and any payment is made to
[the Clearing Agency], any transfer, pledge or other use hereof for value or
otherwise by or to any person is wrongful since the registered owner hereof,
[the Clearing Agency], has an interest herein."
(b) Upon original issuance, the Book-Entry Certificates shall be issued in
the form of one or more typewritten certificates, to be delivered to The
Depository Trust Company, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the
Seller. Such Certificates shall initially be registered in the Certificate
Register in the name of the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no
Beneficial Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such
Beneficial Owner's interest in the Book-Entry Certificates, except as provided
in Section 5.07. Unless and until definitive, fully registered certificates
("Definitive Certificates") have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to
Section 5.07:
(i) the provisions of this Section 5.01(b) shall be in full force and
effect;
(ii) the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar and
the Trust Administrator may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes
(including the making of distributions on the Book-Entry Certificates and
the taking of actions by the Holders of Book-Entry Certificates) as the
authorized representative of the Beneficial Owners;
(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.01(b)
conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of
this Section 5.01(b) shall control;
(iv) the rights of Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only through
the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law, the
rules, regulations and procedures of the Clearing Agency and agreements
between such Beneficial Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing
Agency Participants, and all references in this Agreement to actions by
Certificateholders shall, with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates,
refer to actions taken by the Clearing Agency upon instructions from the
Clearing Agency Participants, and all references in this Agreement to
distributions, notices, reports and statements to Certificateholders shall,
with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, refer to distributions,
notices, reports and statements to the Clearing Agency or its nominee, as
registered holder of the Book-Entry Certificates, as the case may be, for
distribution to Beneficial Owners in accordance with the procedures of the
Clearing Agency; and
(v) the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among
the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of
principal and interest on the Certificates to the Clearing Agency
Participants, for distribution by such Clearing Agency Participants to the
Beneficial Owners or their nominees.
For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting
actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Holders of Book-Entry
Certificates evidencing specified Voting Interests, such direction or consent
shall be given by Beneficial Owners having the requisite Voting Interests,
acting through the Clearing Agency.
Unless and until Definitive Certificates have been issued to Beneficial
Owners pursuant to Section 5.07, copies of the reports or statements referred to
in Section 4.04 shall be available to Beneficial Owners upon written request to
the Trust Administrator at the Corporate Trust Office.
Section 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trust Administrator shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or
agencies to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06 a
Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Trust Administrator shall provide for the registration of
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
The Trust Administrator shall act as, or shall appoint, a 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 maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 5.06 (and
subject to the provisions of this Section 5.02) the Trust Administrator shall
execute, and shall date, authenticate (or cause the Authenticating Agent to
authenticate) and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates of a like aggregate principal portion
or Percentage Interest and of the same Class or Subclass.
At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of authorized Denominations of a like aggregate principal
portion or Percentage Interest and of the same Class or Subclass upon surrender
of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trust Administrator shall
execute, and shall date, authenticate (or cause the Authenticating Agent to
authenticate) and deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered
for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Certificate Registrar or
the Trust Administrator) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, duly
executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of
Certificates, but the Trust Administrator or 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 transfer and exchange shall be canceled by
the Certificate Registrar, the Trust Administrator or the Authenticating Agent
in accordance with their standard procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Class A-PO, Class A-WIO, Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class
B-5 Certificate shall be made (other than the transfer of the Class A-PO and
Class A-WIO Certificates to an affiliate of the Seller on the Closing Date)
unless the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and any applicable State securities laws are complied with, or such transfer is
exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and laws. In the event
that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from said Act or
laws, (i) unless such transfer is made in reliance on Rule 144A, the Trust
Administrator or the Seller may, if such transfer is to be made within three
years after the later of (i) the date of the initial sale of Certificates or
(ii) the last date on which the Seller or any affiliate thereof was a Holder of
the Certificates proposed to be transferred, require a Class A-PO, Class A-WIO,
Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5 Certificateholder to deliver a written Opinion
of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trust
Administrator and the Seller, to the effect that such transfer may be made
pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis
therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Administrator, the
Trustee, the Seller or the Master Servicer, and (ii) the Trust Administrator
shall require the transferee (other than of a Class A-PO and Class A-WIO
Certificate where such transferee is an affiliate of the Seller and such
transfer is made on the Closing Date) to execute an investment letter in the
form of Exhibit J hereto certifying to the Seller and the Trust Administrator
the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an
expense of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the Seller or the Master
Servicer. The Holder of a Class A-PO, Class A-WIO, Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class
B-5 Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree
to, indemnify the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the Seller, the Master
Servicer and any Paying Agent acting on behalf of the Trustee against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws. Neither the Seller nor the Trust
Administrator is under an obligation to register the Class A-PO, Class A-WIO,
Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5 Certificates under said Act or any other
securities law.
(c) No transfer of a Class A-PO, Class A-WIO Certificate, or a Class M or
Class B Certificate shall be made (other than the transfer of the Class A-PO and
Class A-WIO Certificates to an affiliate of the Seller on the Closing Date)
unless the Trust Administrator shall have received (i) a representation letter
from the transferee in the form of Exhibit J hereto, in the case of a Class
A-PO, Class A-WIO, Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5 Certificate, or in the form
of Exhibit K hereto, in the case of a Class M, Class B-1 or Class B-2
Certificate, to the effect that either (a) such transferee is not an employee
benefit plan or other retirement arrangement subject to Title I of ERISA or Code
Section 4975, or a governmental plan, as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA,
subject to any federal, state or local law ("Similar Law") which is to a
material extent similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code
(collectively, a "Plan"), and is not a person acting on behalf of or using the
assets of any such Plan, which representation letter shall not be an expense of
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the Seller or the Master Servicer or (b)
(other than with respect to a Class A-PO or Class A-WIO Certificate) if such
transferee is an insurance company, the source of funds used to purchase the
Class M or Class B Certificate is an "insurance company general account" (as
such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption
95-60 ("PTE 95-60"), 60 Fed. Reg. 35925 (July 12, 1995)) and there is no Plan
with respect to which the amount of such general account's reserves and
liabilities for the contract(s) held by or on behalf of such Plan and all other
Plans maintained by the same employer (or affiliate thereof as defined in
Section V(a)(1) of PTE 95-60) or by the same employee organization exceeds 10%
of the total of all reserves and liabilities of such general account (as such
amounts are determined under Section I(a) of PTE 95-60) at the date of
acquisition or (ii) in the case of any such Class A-PO, Class A-WIO, Class M or
Class B Certificate presented for registration in the name of a Plan, or a
trustee of any such Plan, (A) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trust
Administrator and the Seller to the effect that the purchase or holding of such
Class A-PO, Class A-WIO, Class M or Class B Certificate will not result in the
assets of the Trust Estate being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code or Similar Law and will not
subject the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the Seller or the Master Servicer
to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Administrator, the
Trustee, the Seller or the Master Servicer and (B) such other opinions of
counsel, officer's certificates and agreements as the Seller or the Master
Servicer may require in connection with such transfer, which opinions of
counsel, officers' certificates and agreements shall not be an expense of the
Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the Seller or the Master Servicer. The Class
A-PO, Class A-WIO, Class M and Class B Certificates shall bear a legend
referring to the foregoing restrictions contained in this paragraph.
(d) No legal or beneficial interest in all or any portion of the Class A-R
Certificate may be transferred directly or indirectly to a "disqualified
organization" within the meaning of Code Section 860E(e)(5) or an agent of a
disqualified organization (including a broker, nominee, or middleman), to a Plan
or a Person acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Plan (such Plan or
Person, an "ERISA Prohibited Holder") or to an individual, corporation,
partnership or other person unless such transferee (i) is not a Non-U.S. Person
or (ii) is a Non-U.S. Person that holds the Class A-R Certificate in connection
with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and has
furnished the transferor and the Trust Administrator with an effective Internal
Revenue Service Form 4224 or (iii) is a Non-U.S. Person that has delivered to
both the transferor and the Trust Administrator an opinion of a nationally
recognized tax counsel to the effect that the transfer of the Class A-R
Certificate to it is in accordance with the requirements of the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder and that such transfer of the Class A-R
Certificate will not be disregarded for federal income tax purposes (any such
person who is not covered by clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above being referred to
herein as a "Non-permitted Foreign Holder"), and any such purported transfer
shall be void and have no effect. The Trust Administrator shall not execute, and
shall not authenticate (or cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate) and
deliver, a new Class A-R Certificate in connection with any such transfer to a
disqualified organization or agent thereof (including a broker, nominee or
middleman), an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Non-permitted Foreign Holder, and
neither the Certificate Registrar nor the Trust Administrator shall accept a
surrender for transfer or registration of transfer, or register the transfer of,
the Class A-R Certificate, unless the transferor shall have provided to the
Trust Administrator an affidavit, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit
H hereto, signed by the transferee, to the effect that the transferee is not
such a disqualified organization, an agent (including a broker, nominee, or
middleman) for any entity as to which the transferee has not received a
substantially similar affidavit, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Non-permitted
Foreign Holder, which affidavit shall contain the consent of the transferee to
any such amendments of this Agreement as may be required to further effectuate
the foregoing restrictions on transfer of the Class A-R Certificate to
disqualified organizations, ERISA Prohibited Holders or Non-permitted Foreign
Holders. Such affidavit shall also contain the statement of the transferee that
(i) the transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due and
intends to do so in the future, (ii) the transferee understands that it may
incur liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest,
(iii) the transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the residual
interest as they become due and (iv) the transferee will not transfer the Class
A-R Certificate to any Person who does not provide an affidavit substantially in
the form attached as Exhibit H hereto.
The affidavit described in the preceding paragraph, if not executed in
connection with the initial issuance of the Class A-R Certificate, shall be
accompanied by a written statement in the form attached as Exhibit I hereto,
signed by the transferor, to the effect that as of the time of the transfer, the
transferor has no actual knowledge that the transferee is a disqualified
organization, ERISA Prohibited Holder or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, and has
no knowledge or reason to know that the statements made by the transferee with
respect to clauses (i) and (iii) of the last sentence of the preceding paragraph
are not true. The Class A-R Certificate shall bear a legend referring to the
foregoing restrictions contained in this paragraph and the preceding paragraph.
Upon notice to the Master Servicer that any legal or beneficial interest in
any portion of the Class A-R Certificate has been transferred, directly or
indirectly, to a disqualified organization or agent thereof (including a broker,
nominee, or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, (i) such
transferee shall be deemed to hold the Class A-R Certificate in constructive
trust for the last transferor who was not a disqualified organization or agent
thereof, and such transferor shall be restored as the owner of such Class A-R
Certificate as completely as if such transfer had never occurred, provided that
the Master Servicer may, but is not required to, recover any distributions made
to such transferee with respect to Class A-R Certificate, and (ii) the Master
Servicer agrees to furnish to the Internal Revenue Service and to any transferor
of the Class A-R Certificate or such agent (within 60 days of the request
therefor by the transferor or agent) such information necessary to the
application of Code Section 860E(e) as may be required by the Code, including
but not limited to the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions
with respect to the Class A-R Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after
such transfer. At the election of the Master Servicer, the cost to the Master
Servicer of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the
transferor or such agent referred to above; however, the Master Servicer shall
in no event be excused from furnishing such information.
Section 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trust Administrator
or the Authenticating Agent, or the Trust Administrator or the Authenticating
Agent receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trust Administrator or the
Authenticating Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
hold each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trust
Administrator or the Authenticating Agent that such Certificate has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trust Administrator shall execute and
authenticate (or cause the Authenticating Agent to 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 principal portion or Percentage
Interest and of the same Class or Subclass. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section, the Trust Administrator 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
expense (including the fees and expenses of the Trust Administrator or the
Authenticating Agent) in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of
ownership in the Trust Estate, 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.
Prior to the due presentation of a Certificate for registration of
transfer, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the
Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01,
and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Seller, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate Registrar nor
any agent of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
Section 5.05. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.
(a) If the Trust Administrator is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the
Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trust
Administrator, within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a
request by the Trust Administrator in writing, a list, in such form as the Trust
Administrator may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the
Certificateholders of each Class or Subclass as of the most recent Record Date.
(b) If five or more Certificateholders (hereinafter referred to as
"applicants") apply in writing to the Trust Administrator, and such application
states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders
with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and
is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such applicants propose to
transmit, then the Trust Administrator shall, within five Business Days
following the receipt of such application, afford such applicants access during
normal business hours to the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the
Trust Administrator. If such a list is as of the date more than 90 days prior to
the date of receipt of such applicants' request and the Trust Administrator is
not the Certificate Registrar, the Trust Administrator shall promptly request
from the Certificate Registrar a current list as provided in paragraph (a)
hereof, and shall afford such applicants access to such list promptly upon
receipt.
(c) Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees
with the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Registrar, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee that neither the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Certificate Registrar, the Trust Administrator nor the Trustee shall be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names,
addresses and Percentage Interests of the Certificateholders hereunder,
regardless of the source from which such information was delivered.
Section 5.06. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Trust Administrator will maintain, at its expense, an office or agency
where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
and where notices and demands to or upon the Certificate Registrar in respect of
the Certificates and this Agreement may be served. The Trust Administrator
initially designates the Corporate Trust Office and the principal corporate
trust office of the Authenticating Agent, if any, as its offices and agencies
for said purposes.
Section 5.07. Definitive Certificates.
If (i)(A) the Master Servicer advises the Trust Administrator in writing
that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able properly to discharge its
responsibilities as depository with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates, and
(B) the Master Servicer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the
Master Servicer, at its option, advises the Trust Administrator in writing that
it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or
(iii) after the occurrence of dismissal or resignation of the Master Servicer,
Beneficial Owners representing aggregate Voting Interests of not less than 51%
of the aggregate Voting Interests of each outstanding Subclass of Book-Entry
Certificates advise the Trust Administrator through the Clearing Agency and
Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry
system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the
Beneficial Owners, the Trust Administrator shall notify the Beneficial Owners,
through the Clearing Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of Definitive Certificates to Beneficial Owners requesting the
same. Upon surrender to the Trust Administrator by the Clearing Agency of the
Certificates held of record by its nominee, accompanied by reregistration
instructions and directions to execute and authenticate new Certificates from
the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator shall execute and authenticate
Definitive Certificates for delivery at its Corporate Trust Office. The Master
Servicer shall arrange for, and will bear all costs of, the printing and
issuance of such Definitive Certificates. Neither the Seller, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be liable for any delay
in delivery of such instructions by the Clearing Agency and may conclusively
rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
Section 5.08. Notices to Clearing Agency.
Whenever notice or other communication to the Holders of Book-Entry
Certificates is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive
Certificates shall have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section
5.07, the Trust Administrator shall give all such notices and communications
specified herein to be given to Holders of Book-Entry Certificates to the
Clearing Agency.

THE SELLER AND THE MASTER SERVICER
Section 6.01. Liability of the Seller and the Master Servicer.
The Seller and the Master Servicer shall each be liable in accordance
herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this
Agreement and undertaken hereunder by the Seller and the Master Servicer.
Section 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Seller or the Master Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Seller and the Master Servicer each
will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and will obtain and
preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each
jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the
validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the
Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
The Seller or the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or
into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any
Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Seller or Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding
to the business of the Seller or Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the
Seller or Master Servicer hereunder, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that, in the case of
the Master Servicer, any such successor or resulting Person shall be qualified
to service mortgage loans for FNMA or FHLMC.
Section 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Seller, the Master Servicer and
Others.
Neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer nor any subcontractor nor any of
the partners, directors, officers, employees or agents of any of them shall be
under any liability to the Trust Estate or the Certificateholders and all such
Persons shall be held harmless for any action taken or for refraining from the
taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in
judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect any such
Person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Seller,
the Master Servicer, any subcontractor, and any partner, director, officer,
employee or agent of any of them shall be entitled to indemnification by the
Trust Estate and will be held harmless against any loss, liability or expense
incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the
Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of his or
its duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of his or its
obligations and duties hereunder. The Seller, the Master Servicer and any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of either may rely in good faith on any
document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by
any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. Neither the Seller nor the
Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under
this Agreement and which in its opinion does not involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that the Seller or the Master Servicer may in its
discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable
with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto
and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder if the Certificateholders
offer to the Seller or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such
action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and
liabilities of the Trust Estate, and the Seller or the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Certificate Account, and such
amounts shall, on the following Distribution Date or Distribution Dates, be
allocated in reduction of distributions on the Class A, Class M and Class B
Certificates in the same manner as Realized Losses are allocated pursuant to
Section 4.02(a).
Section 6.04. Resignation of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of
applicable law with any other activities carried on by it. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator. No such resignation shall become effective until the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator or a successor servicer shall have assumed the
Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations
hereunder.
Section 6.05. Compensation to the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive a monthly fee equal to the
Master Servicing Fee, as compensation for services rendered by the Master
Servicer under this Agreement. The Master Servicer also will be entitled to any
late reporting fees paid by a Servicer pursuant to its Servicing Agreement and
any investment income on funds on deposit in the Certificate Account as
additional compensation.
Section 6.06. Assignment or Delegation of Duties by Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall not assign or transfer any of its rights,
benefits or privileges under this Agreement to any other Person, or delegate to
or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of
the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Master Servicer
without the prior written consent of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator,
and any agreement, instrument or act purporting to effect any such assignment,
transfer, delegation or appointment shall be void. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Master Servicer shall have the right without the prior written
consent of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator (i) to assign its rights and
delegate its duties and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that (a) the
purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment or delegation is qualified to
service mortgage loans for FNMA or FHLMC, is satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, and executes
and delivers to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator an agreement, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator, which contains an assumption by such purchaser or transferee of
the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition
to be performed or observed by the Master Servicer hereunder from and after the
date of such agreement; and (b) each applicable Rating Agency's rating of any
Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale or transfer is
not reasonably likely to be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn as a result of
such assignment, sale or transfer and the Certificates are not reasonably likely
to be placed on credit review status by any such Rating Agency; and (ii) to
delegate to, subcontract with, authorize, or appoint an affiliate of the Master
Servicer to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed and carried out by the Master Servicer under this Agreement and hereby
agrees so to delegate, subcontract, authorize or appoint to an affiliate of the
Master Servicer any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried
out by the Master Servicer to the extent that such duties, covenants or
obligations are to be performed in any state or states in which the Master
Servicer is not authorized to do business as a foreign corporation but in which
the affiliate is so authorized. In no case, however, shall any permitted
assignment and delegation relieve the Master Servicer of any liability to the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Seller under this Agreement, incurred by
it prior to the time that the conditions contained in clause (i) above are met.
Section 6.07. Indemnification of Trustee, Trust Administrator and Seller by
Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator and the Seller and any director, officer or agent thereof
against any loss, liability or expense, including reasonable attorney's fees,
arising out of, in connection with or incurred by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and
duties under this Agreement. Any payment pursuant to this Section made by the
Master Servicer to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Seller shall be
from such entity's own funds, without reimbursement therefor. The provisions of
this Section 6.07 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
Section 7.01. Events of Default.
In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Master
Servicer shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:
(i) any failure by the Master Servicer (a) to remit any funds to the
Paying Agent as required by Section 4.03 or (b) to distribute or cause to
be distributed to Certificateholders any payment required to be made by the
Master Servicer under the terms of this Agreement which, in either case,
continues unremedied for a period of three business days after the date
upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or to
the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting
Interest represented by all Certificates; or
(ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or
perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on
the part of the Master Servicer in the Certificates or in this Agreement
which continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which
written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall
have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee, or to the Master
Servicer and the Trustee by the holders of Certificates evidencing in the
aggregate not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Interest represented by
all Certificates; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee,
conservator, receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar
proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall
have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order
shall have remained in force undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60
days; or
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator or liquidating committee in
any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and
liabilities, voluntary liquidation or similar proceedings of or relating to
the Master Servicer, or of or relating to all or substantially all of its
property; or
(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage
of any applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization statute, make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment
of its obligations;
(vi) the Master Servicer shall be dissolved, or shall dispose of all
or substantially all of its assets; or consolidate with or merge into
another entity or shall permit another entity to consolidate or merge into
it, such that the resulting entity does not meet the criteria for a
successor servicer, as specified in Section 6.02 hereof; or
(vii) the Master Servicer and any subservicer appointed by it becomes
ineligible to service for both FNMA and FHMLC, which ineligibility
continues unremedied for a period of 90 days.
then, and in each and every such case, subject to applicable law, so long as an
Event of Default shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee or the holders
of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66 2/3% of the
aggregate Voting Interest represented by all Certificates, by notice in writing
to the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator (and to the Trustee if given
by the Certificateholders) may terminate all of the rights and obligations of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans, but
without prejudice to any rights which the Master Servicer may have to the
aggregate Master Servicing Fees due prior to the date of transfer of the Master
Servicer's responsibilities hereunder, reimbursement of expenses to the extent
permitted by this Agreement, Periodic Advances and other advances of its own
funds. Upon receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority
and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to
the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested
in the Trust Administrator on behalf of the Trustee pursuant to and under this
Section, subject to the provisions of Section 7.05; and, without limitation, the
Trust Administrator on behalf of the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered
to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or
assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents or otherwise. The Master
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trust Administrator and the Trustee in
effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights
hereunder and shall promptly provide the Trustee all documents and records
reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer's
functions hereunder and shall promptly also transfer to the Trust Administrator
on behalf of the Trustee all amounts which then have been or should have been
deposited in the Certificate Account by the Master Servicer or which are
thereafter received by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Section 7.02. Other Remedies of Trustee.
During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights
specified in Section 7.01, shall have the right, in its own name as trustee of
an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in
equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the
interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders
(including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and
other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy
provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each
and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no
delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or
remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.
Section 7.03. Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee During
Event of Default.
During the continuance of any Event of Default, Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Interest
represented by all Certificates may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such
remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this
agreement (including, without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any
administrative action or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the
terminating of the Master Servicer from its rights and duties as servicer
hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the cost, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby and, provided further, that, subject to the
provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to
follow any such direction if the Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of
Counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully
be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or
proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly
prejudicial to the nonassenting Certificateholders.
Section 7.04. Action upon Certain Failures of the Master Servicer and upon Event
of Default.
In the event that the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall have
knowledge of any failure of the Master Servicer specified in Section 7.01(i) or
(ii) which would become an Event of Default upon the Master Servicer's failure
to remedy the same after notice, the Trustee or Trust Administrator may, but
need not if the Trustee or Trust Administrator, as the case may be, deems it not
in the Certificateholders' best interest, give notice thereof to the Master
Servicer. For all purposes of this Agreement, in the absence of actual knowledge
by a corporate trust officer of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, shall not be deemed to
have knowledge of any failure of the Master Servicer as specified in Section
7.01(i) and (ii) or any Event of Default unless notified thereof in writing by
the Master Servicer or by a Certificateholder.
Section 7.05. Trust Administrator to Act; Appointment of Successor.
When the Master Servicer receives notice of termination pursuant to Section
7.01 or the Trustee or the Trust Administrator receives the resignation of the
Master Servicer evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 6.04, the
Trust Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall be the successor in all
respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as master servicer under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have
the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and
provisions hereof and in its capacity as such successor shall have the same
limitation of liability herein granted to the Master Servicer. In the event that
the Trust Administrator is succeeding to the Master Servicer as the Master
Servicer, as compensation therefor, the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to
receive monthly such portion of the Master Servicing Fee, together with such
other servicing compensation as is agreed to at such time by the Trust
Administrator and the Master Servicer, but in no event more than 25% thereof
until the date of final cessation of the Master Servicer's servicing activities
hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trust Administrator may, if it shall
be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or to obtain a
qualifying bid as described below, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any housing and home finance institution, bank or
mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000
and meeting such other standards for a successor servicer as are set forth
herein, as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of
all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master
Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that until such a successor master
servicer is appointed and has assumed the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trust Administrator shall
continue as the successor to the Master Servicer as provided above. The
compensation of any successor master servicer so appointed shall not exceed the
compensation specified in Section 6.05 hereof. In the event the Trust
Administrator is required to solicit bids as provided above, the Trust
Administrator shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing and home
finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the
qualifications set forth in the preceding sentence for the purchase of the
master servicing functions. Such public announcement shall specify that the
successor master servicer shall be entitled to the full amount of the Master
Servicing Fee as compensation together with the other servicing compensation in
the form of late reporting fees or otherwise as provided in Section 6.05. Within
30 days after any such public announcement, the Trust Administrator shall
negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the master servicing
rights and responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party submitting the
highest qualifying bid. The Trust Administrator shall deduct all costs and
expenses of any public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of
the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder from any sum received by the
Trust Administrator from the successor to the Master Servicer in respect of such
sale, transfer and assignment. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum
shall be paid by the Trust Administrator to the Master Servicer at the time of
such sale, transfer and assignment to the Master Servicer's successor. The Trust
Administrator and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. The Master
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trust Administrator and any successor
servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's servicing
responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly provide the Trust
Administrator or such successor master servicer, as applicable, all documents
and records reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Master
Servicer's function hereunder and shall promptly also transfer to the Trust
Administrator or such successor master servicer, as applicable, all amounts
which then have been or should have been deposited in the Certificate Account by
the Master Servicer or which are thereafter received by the Master Servicer with
respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trust Administrator nor any other
successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason
of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or
any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver,
or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, or (ii)
restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the
Master Servicer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section
7.01 above or this Section 7.05, the Master Servicer shall retain all of its
rights and responsibilities hereunder, and no successor (including the Trust
Administrator) shall succeed thereto, if the assumption thereof by such
successor would cause the rating assigned to any Certificates to be revoked,
downgraded or placed on credit review status (other than for possible upgrading)
by either Rating Agency and the retention thereof by the Master Servicer would
avert such revocation, downgrading or review.
Section 7.06. Notification to Certificateholders.
Upon any termination of the Master Servicer or appointment of a successor
master servicer, in each case as provided herein, the Trust Administrator shall
give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register. The Trust Administrator shall
also, within 45 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default known to the
Trust Administrator, give written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their
respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, unless such Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived within said 45 day period.

ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR
Section 8.01. Duties of Trustee and Trust Administrator.
The Trustee and the Trust Administrator, prior to the occurrence of an
Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have
occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default has
occurred (which has not been cured), the Trustee and the Trust Administrator,
subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.03, 7.04 and 7.05, shall exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same
degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent investor would exercise or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of such investor's own affairs.
The Trustee and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, which are
specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required
by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any
certificate, statement, instrument, report, notice or other document furnished
by the Master Servicer or the Servicers pursuant to Articles III, IV and IX.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties
and obligations of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator 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 the Trust Administrator and, in the
absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator 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 the Trust Administrator, and conforming to the requirements of
this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall not be personally
liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by
it in good faith in accordance with the direction of holders of
Certificates which evidence in the aggregate not less than 25% of the
Voting Interest represented by all Certificates relating to the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, under this
Agreement; and
(iii) The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall not be liable for
any error of judgment made in good faith by any of their respective
Responsible Officers, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator or such Responsible Officer, as the case may be, was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur personal 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 repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
Section 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and Fthe Trust
Administrator.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator may rely 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 believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator may consult with
counsel, and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or
omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion
of Counsel;
(iii) Neither of the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall 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; and
(iv) Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator may execute any
of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either
directly or by or through agents or attorneys.
Section 8.03. Neither Trustee nor Trust Administrator Required to Make
Investigation.
Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the
curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, neither the Trustee nor
the Trust Administrator shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts
or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond, Mortgage,
Mortgage Note or other paper or document (provided the same appears regular on
its face), unless requested in writing to do so by holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Voting Interest represented
by all Certificates; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator 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 or the Trust Administrator, not reasonably assured
to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator by the security afforded to it by the
terms of this Agreement, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may require
reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to so
proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such investigation shall be paid by
the Master Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, shall
be repaid by the Master Servicer upon demand.
Section 8.04. Neither Trustee nor Trust Administrator Liable for Certificates or
Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
certificate of authentication on the Certificates) shall be taken as the
statements of the Seller, and neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator
assumes responsibility as to the correctness of the same. Neither the Trustee
nor the Trust Administrator makes any representation for the correctness of the
same. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator makes any representation
as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of
any Mortgage Loan or related document. Subject to Section 2.04, neither the
Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be accountable for the use or
application by the Seller of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such
Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Master
Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans deposited into the Certificate Account
by the Master Servicer or, in its capacity as trustee, for investment of any
such amounts.
Section 8.05. Trustee and Trust Administrator May Own Certificates.
Each of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and any agent thereof, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Trust
Administrator or such agent.
Section 8.06. The Master Servicer to Pay Fees and Expenses.
The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to each of the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator from time to time, and each of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator shall be entitled to receive, reasonable compensation (which shall
not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a
trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of
the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the
powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the
case may be, and the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as the case may be, upon its request for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it in accordance with
any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation
and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not
regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement, or advance as
may arise from its negligence or bad faith.
Section 8.07. Eligibility Requirements.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator hereunder shall at all
times (i) be a corporation or association having its principal office in a state
and city acceptable to the Seller, organized and doing business under the laws
of such state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000, or shall be a member of a bank holding system, the aggregate
combined capital and surplus of which is at least $50,000,000, provided that its
separate capital and surplus shall at all times be at least the amount specified
in Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, (ii) be subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authority and (iii) have a credit
rating or be otherwise acceptable to the Rating Agencies such that neither of
the Rating Agencies would reduce their respective then current ratings of the
Certificates (or have provided such security from time to time as is sufficient
to avoid such reduction) as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency. If such
corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and
surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. In case at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such
entity shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 8.08.
Section 8.08. Resignation and Removal.
Either of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may at any time resign and
be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice of
resignation to the Master Servicer, such resignation to be effective upon the
appointment of a successor trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation,
the Master Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
resigning entity and one copy to its successor. If no successor trustee shall
have been appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the
giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as the case may be, may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or trust administrator.
If at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.07 and shall fail to
resign after written request for its resignation by the Master Servicer, or if
at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall become incapable of
acting, or an order for relief shall have been entered in any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding with respect to such entity, or a receiver of such entity
or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge
or control of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of the property or
affairs of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conversion or liquidation, or the Master Servicer shall deem it
necessary in order to change the situs of the Trust Estate for state tax
reasons, then the Master Servicer shall remove the Trustee and/or the Trust
Administrator, as the case may be, and appoint a successor trustee and/or
successor trust administrator by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or Trust Administrator so
removed and one copy to the successor trustee or successor trust administrator,
as the case may be.
The Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51%
of the Voting Interests represented by all Certificates (except that any
Certificate registered in the name of the Seller, the Master Servicer or any
affiliate thereof will not be taken into account in determining whether the
requisite Voting Interests has been obtained) may at any time remove the Trustee
and/or the Trust Administrator and appoint a successor by written instrument or
instruments, in triplicate, signed by such holders or their attorneys-in-fact
duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the
Master Servicer, one complete set of which shall be delivered to the entity or
entities so removed and one complete set of which shall be delivered to the
successor so appointed.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and
appointment of a successor pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section
shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor as
provided in Section 8.09.
Section 8.09. Successor.
Any successor trustee or successor trust administrator appointed as
provided in Section 8.08 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Master
Servicer and to its predecessor trustee or trust administrator, as the case may
be, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or trust administrator shall
become effective, and such successor, without any further act, deed or
reconveyance, 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 or trust administrator, as the case may be, herein. The
predecessor trustee or trust administrator shall deliver to its successor all
Owner Mortgage Loan Files and related documents and statements held by it
hereunder (other than any Owner Mortgage Loan Files at the time held by a
Custodian, which Custodian shall become the agent of any successor trustee
hereunder), and the Seller, the Master Servicer and the predecessor entity shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
trustee or successor trust administrator, as the case may be, all such rights,
powers, duties and obligations. No successor shall accept appointment as
provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.07
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor as provided in this Section,
the Master Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee or trust
administrator hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as
shown in the Certificate Register. If the Master Servicer fails to mail such
notice within ten days after acceptance of the successor trustee or trust
administrator, as the case may be, the successor trustee or trust administrator
shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Master Servicer.
Section 8.10. Merger or Consolidation.
Any Person into which either the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, to which it may sell
or transfer its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially
as a whole or any Person resulting from any merger, sale, transfer, conversion
or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to the business of such entity, shall be the
successor of the Trustee or Trust Administrator, as the case may be, hereunder;
provided, however, that (i) such Person shall be eligible under the provisions
of Section 8.07, 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, and (ii) the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case
may be, shall deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Seller and the Master
Servicer to the effect that such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer will
not subject the REMIC to federal, state or local tax or cause the REMIC to not
qualify as a REMIC, which Opinion of Counsel shall be at the sole expense of the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be.
Section 8.11. Authenticating Agent.
The Trust Administrator may appoint an Authenticating Agent, which shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Trust Administrator in authenticating
Certificates. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication
of Certificates by the Trust Administrator or the Trust Administrator's
countersignature, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on
behalf of the Trust Administrator by the Authenticating Agent and a certificate
of authentication executed on behalf of the Trust Administrator by the
Authenticating Agent. The Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Seller
and the Master Servicer and must be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having a
principal office and place of business in a state and city acceptable to the
Seller and the Master Servicer, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.
Any corporation into which the Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business
of the Authenticating Agent, shall be the Authenticating Agent without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trust
Administrator or the Authenticating Agent.
The Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days'
advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the Seller and the Master Servicer. The Trust Administrator may at any time
terminate the agency of the Authenticating Agent by giving written notice
thereof to the Authenticating Agent, the Seller and the Master Servicer. Upon
receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any
time the Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.11, the Trust Administrator promptly shall appoint
a successor Authenticating Agent, which shall be acceptable to the Master
Servicer, and shall give written notice of such appointment to the Seller, and
shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders. Any successor
Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become
vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating
Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless
eligible under the provisions of this Section 8.11.
The Authenticating Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any
action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trust Administrator. Any
reasonable compensation paid to the Authenticating Agent shall be a reimbursable
expense under Section 8.06.
Section 8.12. Separate Trustees and Co-Trustees.
The Trustee shall have the power from time to time to appoint one or more
persons or corporations to act either as co-trustees jointly with the Trustee,
or as separate trustees, for the purpose of holding title to, foreclosing or
otherwise taking action with respect to any Mortgage Loan outside the state
where the Trustee has its principal place of business, where such separate
trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable (or the Trustee is advised by
the Master Servicer that such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or
advisable) under the laws of any state in which a Mortgaged Property is located
or for the purpose of otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction
or condition in any state in which a Mortgaged Property is located or in any
state in which any portion of the Trust Estate is located. The Master Servicer
shall advise the Trustee when, in its good faith opinion, a separate trustee or
co-trustee is necessary or advisable as aforesaid. The separate trustees or
co-trustees so appointed shall be trustees for the benefit of all of the
Certificateholders and shall have such powers, rights and remedies as shall be
specified in the instrument of appointment; provided, however, that no such
appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of
the Trustee. The Seller and the Master Servicer shall join in any such
appointment, but such joining shall not be necessary for the effectiveness of
such appointment.
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 powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the
Trustee, in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys shall be
exercised solely by the Trustee;
(ii) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised
or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in
which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee
hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder) the Trustee
shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which
event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of
title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction)
shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee;
(iii) no separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder shall be personally
liable by reason of any act or omission of any other separate trustee or
co-trustee hereunder; and
(iv) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove
any separate trustee or co-trustee so appointed by it, if such resignation
or removal does not violate the other terms of this Agreement.
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, co-trustee, or custodian shall refer to this Agreement and the
conditions of this Article. 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 furnished to the Trustee.
Any separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian 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.
No separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the
terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.07 hereunder and no
notice to Certificateholders of the appointment thereof shall be required under
Section 8.09 hereof.
The Trustee agrees to instruct its co-trustees, if any, to the extent
necessary to fulfill such entity's obligations hereunder.
The Master Servicer shall pay the reasonable compensation of the
co-trustees to the extent, and in accordance with the standards, specified in
Section 8.06 hereof.
Section 8.13. Appointment of Custodians.
The Trust Administrator may at any time on or after the Closing Date, with
the consent of the Master Servicer and the Seller, appoint one or more
Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Owner Mortgage Loan Files as agent
for the Trust Administrator, by entering into a Custodial Agreement. Subject to
this Article VIII, the Trust Administrator 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. Each Custodian shall be
a depository institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority,
shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and shall be
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Owner
Mortgage Loan File. Each Custodial Agreement may be amended only as provided in
Section 10.01(a).
Section 8.14. Tax Matters; Compliance with REMIC Provisions.
(a) Each of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer
covenants and agrees that it shall perform its duties hereunder in a manner
consistent with the REMIC Provisions and shall not knowingly take any action or
fail to take any action that would (i) affect the determination of the Trust
Estate's status as a REMIC; or (ii) cause the imposition of any federal, state
or local income, prohibited transaction, contribution or other tax on either the
REMIC or the Trust Estate. The Master Servicer, or, in the case of any action
required by law to be performed directly by the Trust Administrator, the Trust
Administrator, shall (i) prepare or cause to be prepared, timely cause to be
signed by the Trustee and file or cause to be filed annual federal and
applicable state and local income tax returns using a calendar year as the
taxable year for the REMIC and the accrual method of accounting; (ii) in the
first such federal tax return, make, or cause to be made, an election satisfying
the requirements of the REMIC Provisions, on behalf of the Trust Estate, to
treat the Trust Estate as a REMIC; (iii) prepare, execute and forward, or cause
to be prepared, executed and forwarded, to the Certificateholders all
information reports or tax returns required with respect to the REMIC, as and
when required to be provided to the Certificateholders, and to the Internal
Revenue Service and any other relevant governmental taxing authority in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions and any other applicable federal, state or
local laws, including without limitation information reports relating to
"original issue discount" and "market discount" as defined in the Code based
upon the issue prices, prepayment assumption and cash flows provided by the
Seller to the Trust Administrator and calculated on a monthly basis by using the
issue prices of the Certificates; (iv) make available information necessary for
the application of any tax imposed on transferors of residual interests to
"disqualified organizations" (as defined in the REMIC Provisions); (v) file
Forms SS-4 and 8811 and respond to inquiries by Certificateholders or their
nominees concerning information returns, reports or tax returns; (vi) maintain
(or cause to be maintained by the Servicers) such records relating to the REMIC,
including but not limited to the income, expenses, individual Mortgage Loans
(including REO Mortgage Loans, other assets and liabilities of the REMIC, and
the fair market value and adjusted basis of the REMIC property determined at
such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare
the foregoing returns or information reports; (vii) exercise reasonable care not
to allow the creation of any "interests" in the REMIC within the meaning of Code
Section 860D(a)(2) other than the interests represented by the Class A-1, Class
A-PO, Class A-WIO and Class A-R Certificates, the Class M Certificates and the
Class B-l, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4 and Class B-5 Certificates; (viii)
exercise reasonable care not to allow the occurrence of any "prohibited
transactions" within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a), unless the Master
Servicer shall have provided an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator that such occurrence would not (a) result in a taxable gain, (b)
otherwise subject either the Trust Estate or the REMIC to tax or (c) cause the
Trust Estate to fail to qualify as a REMIC; (ix) exercise reasonable care not to
allow the REMIC to receive income from the performance of services or from
assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by a REMIC; (x) pay
(on behalf of the REMIC) the amount of any federal income tax, including,
without limitation, prohibited transaction taxes, taxes on net income from
foreclosure property, and taxes on certain contributions to a REMIC after the
Startup Day, imposed on the REMIC when and as the same shall be due and payable
(but such obligation shall not prevent the Master Servicer or any other
appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and
shall not prevent the Master Servicer from withholding or depositing payment of
such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); and
(xi) if required or permitted by the Code and applicable law, act as "tax
matters person" for the REMIC within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.860F-4(d), and the Master Servicer is hereby designated as agent of the Class
A-R Certificateholder for such purpose (or if the Master Servicer is not so
permitted, the Holder of the Class A-R Certificate shall be tax matters person
in accordance with the REMIC Provisions). The Master Servicer shall be entitled
to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 3.02 for any taxes paid by it pursuant to
clause (x) of the preceding sentence, except to the extent that such taxes are
imposed as a result of the bad faith, willful misfeasance or gross negligence of
the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder. The
Trustee's sole duties with respect to the REMIC are to sign the tax returns
referred to in clause (i) of the second preceding sentence and to comply with
written directions from the Master Servicer or the Trust Administrator.
In order to enable the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee, as the case may be, to perform its duties as set forth above, the
Seller shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Master Servicer within ten
days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Master Servicer
determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices
of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment
assumption and projected cash flows of each Class and Subclass of Certificates
and the Mortgage Loans in the aggregate. Thereafter, the Seller shall provide to
the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be,
promptly upon request therefor, any such additional information or data that the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, may
from time to time, request in order to enable the Master Servicer to perform its
duties as set forth above. The Seller hereby indemnifies the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any losses,
liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee arising from any errors or miscalculations by the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee pursuant to this Section
that result from any failure of the Seller to provide, or to cause to be
provided, accurate information or data to the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, on a timely basis. The Master
Servicer hereby indemnifies the Seller, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee
for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Seller, the
Trust Administrator or the Trustee arising from the Master Servicer's willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in preparing any of the federal,
state and local tax returns of the REMIC as described above. In the event that
the Trust Administrator prepares any of the federal, state and local tax returns
of the REMIC as described above, the Trust Administrator hereby indemnifies the
Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any losses, liabilities,
damages, claims or expenses of the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Trustee
arising from the Trust Administrator's willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in connection with such preparation.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master
Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee shall pay from its own funds,
without any right of reimbursement therefor, the amount of any costs,
liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trust Estate (including, without
limitation, any and all federal, state or local taxes, including taxes imposed
on "prohibited transactions" within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions) if and
to the extent that such costs, liabilities and expenses arise from a failure of
the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, respectively, to
perform its obligations under this Section 8.14.
Section 8.15. Monthly Advances.
In the event that Norwest Mortgage fails to make a Periodic Advance
required to be made pursuant to the Norwest Servicing Agreement on or before the
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall make a Periodic Advance as
required by Section 3.03 hereof; provided, however, the Trust Administrator

TERMINATION
Section 9.01. Termination upon Purchase by the Seller or Liquidation of All
Mortgage Loans.
Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities of
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee created
hereby (other than the obligation of the Trust Administrator to make certain
payments after the Final Distribution Date to Certificateholders and the
obligation of the Master Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set
forth and the tax reporting obligations under Sections 4.05 and 8.14 hereof)
shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Trust
Administrator on the Final Distribution Date pursuant to this Article IX
following the earlier of (i) the purchase by the Seller of all Mortgage Loans
and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust
Estate at a price equal to the sum of (x) 100% of the unpaid principal balance
of each Mortgage Loan (other than any REO Mortgage Loan) as of the Final
Distribution Date, and (y) the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property
related to any REO Mortgage Loan (as determined by the Master Servicer as of the
close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which
notice of any such termination is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to
the third paragraph of this Section 9.01), plus any accrued and unpaid interest
through the last day of the month preceding the month of such purchase at the
applicable Mortgage Interest Rate and (ii) the final payment or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Estate (including for this purpose the discharge of any
Mortgagor under a defaulted Mortgage Loan on which a Servicer is not obligated
to foreclose due to environmental impairment) or the disposition of all property
acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan;
provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue
beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the
descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to
the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.
The right of the Seller to purchase all the assets of the Trust Estate
pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph are subject to Section 9.02
and conditioned upon the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
as of the Final Distribution Date being less than the amount set forth in
Section 11.24. In the case of any purchase by the Seller pursuant to said clause
(i), the Seller shall provide to the Trust Administrator the certification
required by Section 3.04 and the Trust Administrator and the Custodian shall,
promptly following payment of the purchase price, release to the Seller the
Owner Mortgage Loan Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans being purchased.
Notice of any termination, specifying the Final Distribution Date (which
shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trust Administrator
for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly
by the Master Servicer (if it is exercising its right to purchase the assets of
the Trust Estate) or by the Trust Administrator (in any other case) by letter to
Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th day of the month preceding
the month of such final distribution and not later than the twentieth day of the
month of such final distribution specifying (A) the Final Distribution Date upon
which final payment of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and
surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the Trust Administrator
therein designated, (B) the amount of any such final payment and (C) that the
Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable,
payments being made (except in the case of any Class A Certificate surrendered
on a prior Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01) only upon presentation
and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trust
Administrator therein specified. If the Master Servicer is obligated to give
notice to Certificateholders as aforesaid, it shall give such notice to the
Trust Administrator and the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is
given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given by the Master
Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate Account on or
before the Final Distribution Date in immediately available funds an amount
equal to the purchase price for the assets of the Trust Estate computed as above
provided. Failure to give notice of termination as described herein shall not
entitle a Certificateholder to any interest beyond the interest payable on the
Final Distribution Date.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trust
Administrator shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders on the Final
Distribution Date in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests an
amount equal to (i) as to the Subclasses of Class A Certificates, the respective
Class A Subclass Principal Balance together with any related Class A Subclass
Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest in an amount equal to the
respective Class A Subclass Interest Accrual Amount, (ii) as to the Class M
Certificates, the Class M Principal Balance together with any related Class M
Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest at the Class M Pass-Through
Rate on the Class M Principal Balance, (iii) as to the Subclasses of Class B
Certificates, the respective Class B Subclass Principal Balance together with
any related Class B Subclass Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest
in an amount equal to the respective Class B Subclass Interest Accrual Amount
and (iv) as to the Class A-R Certificate, the amounts, if any, which remain on
deposit in the Certificate Account (other than amounts retained to meet claims)
after application pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above and payment to
the Master Servicer of any amounts it is entitled as reimbursement or otherwise
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the price paid pursuant to clause
(i) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01, after reimbursement to the
Servicers, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator of any Periodic
Advances, is insufficient to pay in full the amounts set forth in clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii) of this paragraph, then any shortfall in the amount available for
distribution to Certificateholders shall be allocated in reduction of the
amounts otherwise distributable on the Final Distribution Date in the same
manner as Realized Losses are allocated pursuant to Sections 4.02(b) and 4.02(g)
hereof. Such distribution on the Final Distribution Date shall be in lieu of the
distribution otherwise required to be made on such Distribution Date in respect
of each Class of Certificates.
In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their
Certificates for final payment and cancellation within three months following
the Final Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall on such date cause
all funds, if any, in the Certificate Account not distributed in final
distribution to Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the
remaining Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow
account for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Master Servicer (if
it exercised its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Estate) or the Trust
Administrator (in any other case) 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 three months
after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trust Administrator may take appropriate steps, or may appoint
an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid
out of the funds on deposit in such escrow account.
Section 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
In the event of a termination of the Trust Estate upon the exercise by the
Seller of its purchase option as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Estate
shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements,
unless the Trust Administrator has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that any other manner of termination (i) will constitute a "qualified
liquidation" of the Trust Estate within the meaning of Code Section
860F(a)(4)(A) and (ii) will not subject the REMIC to federal tax or cause the
Trust Estate to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding:
(i) The notice given by the Master Servicer under Section 9.01 shall
provide that such notice constitutes the adoption of a plan of complete
liquidation of the REMIC as of the date of such notice (or, if earlier, the
date on which the first such notice is mailed to Certificateholders). The
Master Servicer shall also specify such date in a statement attached to the
final tax return of the REMIC; and
(ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete
liquidation and at or prior to the Final Distribution Date, the Trust
Administrator shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Estate to the
Seller for cash at the purchase price specified in Section 9.01 and shall
distribute such cash within 90 days of such adoption in the manner
specified in Section 9.01.

Section 10.01. Amendment.

time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the
Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any
ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein or
therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein or therein,
(iii) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as
shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of the Trust Estate as a REMIC
at all times that any Certificates are outstanding or to avoid or minimize the
risk of the imposition of any federal tax on the Trust Estate or the REMIC
pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against the Trust Estate, provided
that (a) the Trustee and the Trust Administrator have received an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such action is necessary or desirable to maintain
such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any
such tax and (b) such action shall not, as evidenced by such Opinion of Counsel,
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder,
(iv) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits into the Certificate Account
provided that (a) such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel,
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder
and (b) such change shall not adversely affect the then-current rating of the
Certificates as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency to such effect,
(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.02 or any other
provisions hereof restricting transfer of the Certificates, provided that the
Master Servicer for purposes of Section 5.02 has determined in its sole
discretion that any such modifications to this Agreement will neither adversely
affect the rating on the Certificates nor give rise to a risk that either the
Trust Estate or the REMIC or any of the Certificateholders will be subject to a
tax caused by a transfer to a non-permitted transferee and (vi) to make any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this
Agreement or such Custodial Agreement which shall not be materially inconsistent
with the provisions of this Agreement, provided that such action shall not, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder.
This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to
time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee
with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not
less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Interests of each Class or Subclass of
Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or
such Custodial Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders
of Certificates of such Class or Subclass; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii)
adversely affect in any material respect the interest of the Holders of
Certificates of any Class or Subclass in a manner other than as described in
clause (i) hereof without the consent of Holders of Certificates of such Class
or Subclass evidencing, as to such Class or Subclass, Voting Interests
aggregating not less than 66-2/3% or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of
Certificates of any Class or Subclass the Holders of which are required to
consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all
Certificates of such Class or Subclass then outstanding.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, neither the
Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall consent to any amendment to this
Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such amendment will not subject the REMIC to tax or cause the Trust
Estate to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment requiring the consent of
Certificateholders, the Trust Administrator shall furnish written notification
of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this
Section 10.01(a) to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trust Administrator may prescribe.
(b) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer may, from time to time, amend Schedule I hereto without the consent of
any Certificateholder, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee; provided,
however, (i) that such amendment does not conflict with any provisions of the
related Servicing Agreement, (ii) that the related Servicing Agreement provides
for the remittance of each type of Unscheduled Principal Receipts received by
such Servicer during the Applicable Unscheduled Principal Receipt Period (as so
amended) related to each Distribution Date to the Master Servicer no later than
the 24th day of the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and (iii) that
such amendment is for the purpose of:
(a) changing the Applicable Unscheduled Principal Receipt Period for
Exhibit F-1 Mortgage Loans to a Mid-Month Receipt Period with respect
to all Unscheduled Principal Receipts; or
(b) changing the Applicable Unscheduled Principal Receipt Period for all
Mortgage Loans serviced by any Servicer to a Mid-Month Receipt Period
with respect to Full Unscheduled Principal Receipts and to a Prior
Month Receipt Period with respect to Partial Unscheduled Principal
Receipts.
A copy of any amendment to Schedule I pursuant to this Section 10.01(b)
shall be promptly forwarded to the Trust Administrator.

appropriate public office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the
Master Servicer and at its expense on direction by the Trust Administrator, but

recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.

take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the
Trust Estate, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of
the parties hereto or any of them.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Certificateholder, solely
by virtue of its status as a Certificateholder, shall have any right to vote or
in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust
Estate, 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, solely by virtue of its status as Certificateholder,
shall have any right by virtue or by availing 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 Trust Administrator a written notice of default and of the continuance
thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Interest represented by all
Certificates shall have made written request upon the Trust Administrator to
institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trust Administrator
hereunder and shall have offered to the Trust Administrator such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the cost, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trust Administrator, for 60 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 being understood
and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with
every other Certificateholder and the Trust Administrator, that no one or more
Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or
by availing 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, or to
enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and
for the benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of
the provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder and the Trust
Administrator shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or
in equity.

an officer of the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to

have granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the
Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans.

change thereafter: (i) the amount of OID as a percentage of the initial Class
A-WIO Notional Amount is approximately 1.06171692%; (ii) the annual yield to

MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATES
SERIES 1997-20
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued
in several Classes and Subclasses designated as Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein collectively called the
"Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. In the event funds are advanced with respect to any
Mortgage Loan by a Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trust Administrator,
such advances are reimbursable to such Servicer, the Master Servicer or the
Trust Administrator to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related
recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been
distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account
created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer
from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders,
such purposes including reimbursement to a Servicer, the Master Servicer or the
Trust Administrator, as applicable, of advances made by such Servicer, the
Master Servicer or the Trust Administrator.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, and the Trustee and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than
66 2/3% of the Voting Interests of each Class or Subclass of Certificates
affected thereby. 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 hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in
certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
office or agency appointed by the Trust Administrator, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator and the Certificate
Registrar, duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized
Denominations evidencing the same Class and Subclass and aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in Classes and Denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in
the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates
are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized Denominations evidencing the
same Class and Subclass and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trust Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.
The Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and
the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Trust Administrator, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar, may treat the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, and neither the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator,
the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and
the Trust Estate created thereby shall terminate upon the last action required
to be taken by the Trust Administrator on the Final Distribution Date pursuant
to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the payment or other liquidation
(or advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto or
the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the purchase by the Seller from the
Trust Estate of all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in
respect of such Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that the Trust Estate will in
no event continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last
survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the
United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date of the Agreement.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Seller to purchase all
remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage
Loan at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such
option will effect early retirement of the Certificates, the Seller's right to
exercise such option being subject to the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the proceeds of such
repurchase are distributed being less than ten percent of the Cut-Off Date
Aggregate Principal Balance.

Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the Custodian has agreed to act as agent for the Trust
Administrator for the purposes of receiving and holding certain documents and
other instruments delivered by the Seller under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, all upon the terms and conditions and subject to the limitations
hereinafter set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Trust Administrator, the Seller, the
Master Servicer and the Custodian hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
Definitions
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein shall have
the meanings assigned in the Original Pooling and Servicing Agreement, unless
otherwise required by the context herein.
ARTICLE II
Custody of Mortgage Documents
Section 2.1. Custodian to Act as Agent; Acceptance of Custodial Files. The
Custodian, as the duly appointed agent of the Trust Administrator for these
purposes, acknowledges receipt of the Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, the
assignments and other documents relating to the Mortgage Loans identified on the
schedule attached hereto and declares that it holds and will hold such Mortgage
Notes, Mortgages, assignments and other documents and any similar documents
received by the Trust Administrator subsequent to the date hereof (the
"Custodial Files") as agent for the Trust Administrator, in trust, for the use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
Section 2.2. Recordation of Assignments. If any Custodial File includes one
or more assignments to the Trust Administrator of Mortgage Notes and related
Mortgages that have not been recorded, each such assignment shall be delivered
by the Custodian to the Seller for the purpose of recording it in the
appropriate public office for real property records, and the Seller, at no
expense to the Custodian, shall promptly cause to be recorded in the appropriate
public office for real property records each such assignment and, upon receipt
thereof from such public office, shall return each such assignment to the
Custodian.
Section 2.3. Review of Custodial Files. The Custodian agrees, for the
benefit of Certificateholders, to review, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each Custodial File. If in
performing the review required by this Section 2.3 the Custodian finds any
document or documents constituting a part of a Custodial File to be missing or
defective in any material respect, the Custodian shall promptly so notify the
Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator.
Section 2.4. Notification of Breaches of Representations and Warranties.
Upon discovery by the Custodian of a breach of any representation or warranty
made by the Seller or the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall give prompt written notice to the
Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator.
Section 2.5. Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Custodial Files. Upon the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Custodian by a
certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that
all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are
required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.02 of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) of a
Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Custodial File. The
Custodian agrees, upon receipt of such certification and request, promptly to
release the related Custodial File to the Master Servicer.
From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a certificate
of a Servicing Officer requesting that possession of all, or any document
constituting part of, the Custodial File be released to the Master Servicer and
certifying as to the reason for such release and that such release will not
invalidate any insurance coverage provided in respect of the Mortgage Loan. With
such certificate, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a receipt
signed by a Servicing Officer on behalf of the Master Servicer, and upon receipt
of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Custodial File or such
document to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall cause each Custodial
File or any document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when
the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the
Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the
Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Certificate Account to the extent
required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (ii) the Custodial File or
such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other
public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal
action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either
judicially or non-judicially, and the Master Servicer has delivered to the
Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and
address of the Person to which such Custodial File or such document were
delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. In the event of the
liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, the Custodian shall deliver such receipt with
respect thereto to the Master Servicer upon deposit of the related Liquidation
Proceeds in the Certificate Account to the extent required by the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
Section 2.6. Assumption Agreements. In the event that any assumption
agreement or substitution of liability agreement is entered into with respect to
any Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall
notify the Custodian that such assumption or substitution agreement has been
completed by forwarding to the Custodian the original of such assumption or
substitution agreement, which copy shall be added to the related Custodial File
and, for all purposes, shall be considered a part of such Custodial File to the
same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting parts thereof.
ARTICLE III
Concerning the Custodian
Section 3.1. Custodian a Bailee and Agent of the Trust Administrator. With
respect to each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other documents constituting each
Custodian File which are delivered to the Custodian, the Custodian is
exclusively the bailee and agent of the Trust Administrator, holds such
documents for the benefit of Certificateholders and undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.
Except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.5 of this Agreement, no
Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other document constituting a part of a Custodial
File shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Seller or the Master Servicer or
otherwise released from the possession of the Custodian.
Section 3.2. Indemnification. The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and
hold the Custodian harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, losses,
actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, or any other expenses, fees
or charges of any character or nature, which the Custodian may incur or with
which the Custodian may be threatened by reasons of its acting as custodian
under this Agreement, including indemnification of the Custodian against any and
all expenses, including attorney's fees if counsel for the Custodian has been
approved by the Seller, and the cost of defending any action, suit or
proceedings or resisting any claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is
specifically understood and agreed that in the event any such claim, liability,
loss, action, suit or proceeding or other expense, fees, or charge shall have
been caused by reason of any negligent act, negligent failure to act, or willful
misconduct on the part of the Custodian, or which shall constitute a willful
breach of its duties hereunder, the indemnification provisions of this Agreement
shall not apply.
Section 3.3. Custodian May Own Certificates. The Custodian in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates
with the same rights it would have if it were not Custodian.
Section 3.4. Master Servicer to Pay Custodian's Fees and Expenses. The
Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Custodian from time to time,
and the Custodian shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services
rendered by it in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties
hereunder of the Custodian, and the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse the
Custodian upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred or made by the Custodian in accordance with any of the
provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in
its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from
its negligence or bad faith.
Section 3.5. Custodian May Resign; Trust Administrator May Remove
Custodian. The Custodian may resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed upon it as such obligations and duties relate to its acting as Custodian
of the Mortgage Loans. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Trust
Administrator shall either take custody of the Custodial Files itself and give
prompt notice thereof to the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Custodian or
promptly appoint a successor Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Custodian and one
copy to the successor Custodian. If the Trust Administrator shall not have taken
custody of the Custodial Files and no successor Custodian shall have been so
appointed and have accepted resignation, the resigning Custodian may petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Custodian.
The Trust Administrator may remove the Custodian at any time. In such
event, the Trust Administrator shall appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Custodian hereunder. Any successor
Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority and shall be able to satisfy the other
requirements contained in Section 3.7.
Any resignation or removal of the Custodian and appointment of a successor
Custodian pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3.5 shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Custodian. The Trust
Administrator shall give prompt notice to the Seller and the Master Servicer of
the appointment of any successor Custodian. No successor Custodian shall have
been appointed and accepted appointment by the Trust Administrator without the
prior approval of the Seller and the Master Servicer.
Section 3.6. Merger or Consolidation of Custodian. Any Person into which
the Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated,
or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Custodian shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the
Custodian, shall be the successor of the Custodian hereunder, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 3.7. Representations of the Custodian. The Custodian hereby
represents that it is a depository institution subject to supervision or
examination by a federal or state authority, has a combined capital and surplus
of at least $10,000,000 and is qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in
which it will hold any Custodian File.
ARTICLE IV

jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are
situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere,
such recordation to be effected by the Master Servicer and at its expense on
direction by the Trust Administrator, but only upon direction 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 constitute but one and the same
instrument.
Section 4.5. Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or

Certificate") for the account of, or as agent (including a broker, nominee, or
other middleman) for, any person or entity from which it has not received an
affidavit substantially in the form of this affidavit. For these purposes, a
"disqualified organization" means the United States, any state or political

Norwest Asset Securities Corporation

Frederick, Maryland 21703
The undersigned (the "Purchaser") proposes to purchase Norwest Asset
Securities Corporation Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1997-20, Class

[A-PO][A-WIO][B-3][B-4][B-5] Certificates") in the principal amount of
$___________. In doing so, the Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees as
follows:
Section 1. Definitions. Each capitalized term used herein and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 26, 1997 (the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement") among Norwest Asset Securities Corporation, as seller ("NASCOR"),
Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association, as master servicer (the "Master

[A-PO][A-WIO][B-3][B-4][B-5] Certificates; the Purchaser has sought such
accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an
informed investment decision; and the Purchaser is able to bear the
economic risk of an investment in the Class [A-PO][A-WIO][B-3][B-4][B-5]
Certificates and can afford a complete loss of such investment.]
[(c) The Purchaser is a "Qualified Institutional Buyer" within the
meaning of Rule 144A of the Act.]
(d) The Purchaser confirms that (a) it has received and reviewed a
copy of the Private Placement Memorandum dated _____________, _______,
relating to the Class [A-PO][A-WIO][B-3][B-4][B-5] Certificates and
reviewed, to the extent it deemed appropriate, the documents attached
thereto or incorporated by reference therein, (b) it has had the
opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from NASCOR concerning
the Class [A-PO][A-WIO][B-3][B-4][B-5] Certificates and all matters

possess without unreasonable effort or expense and (c) it has undertaken
its own independent analysis of the investment in the Class
[A-PO][A-WIO][B-3][B-4][B-5] Certificates. The Purchaser will not use or

with a subsequent sale of Class [A-PO][A-WIO][B-3][B-4][B-5] Certificates.
(e) Either (i) the Purchaser is not an employee benefit plan or other
retirement arrangement subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended, ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or a governmental
plan, as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA, subject to any federal, state
or local law ("Similar Law") which is, to a material extent, similar to the
foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, a "Plan"), an
agent acting on behalf of a Plan, or a person utilizing the assets of a
Plan or (ii) [for Class [B-3][B-4][B-5] Certificates only] if the Purchaser
is an insurance company, the source of funds used to purchase the Class
[B-3][B-4][B-5] Certificate is an "insurance company general account" (as
such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption 95-60 ("PTE 95-60"), 60 Fed. Reg. 35925 (July 12, 1995) and there
is no Plan with respect to which the amount of such general account's
reserves and liabilities for the contract(s) held by or on behalf of such
Plan and all other Plans maintained by the same employer (or affiliate
thereof as defined in Section V(a)(1) of PTE 95-60) or by the same employee
organization exceeds 10% of the total of all reserves and liabilities of
such general account (as such amounts are determined under Section I(a) of
PTE 95-60) at the date of acquisition or (iii) the Purchaser has provided
(a) a "Benefit Plan Opinion" satisfactory to NASCOR and the Trust
Administrator of the Trust Estate and (b) such other opinions of counsel,
officers' certificates and agreements as NASCOR or the Master Servicer may
have required. A Benefit Plan Opinion is an opinion of counsel to the
effect that the proposed transfer will not cause the assets of the Trust
Estate to be regarded as "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited
transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code or Similar Law and will not
subject the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the Seller or the Master
Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement (including any liability for civil penalties or
excise taxes imposed pursuant to ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or Similar
Law).
(f) If the Purchaser is a depository institution subject to the
jurisdiction of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRB"), the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), the Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS") or the National Credit Union Administration ("NCUA"), the Purchaser
has reviewed the "Supervisory Policy Statement on Securities Activities"
dated January 28, 1992 of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination
Council and the April 15, 1994 Interim Revision thereto as adopted by the
OCC, FRB, FDIC, OTS and NCUA (with modifications as applicable), as
appropriate, other applicable investment authority, rules, supervisory
policies and guidelines of these agencies and, to the extent appropriate,
state banking authorities and has concluded that its purchase of the Class
[A-WIO][B-3][B-4][B-5] Certificates is in compliance therewith.
Section 3. Transfer of Class [A-PO][A-WIO][B-3][B-4][B-5] Certificates.
(a) The Purchaser understands that the Class
[A-PO][A-WIO][B-3][B-4][B-5] Certificates have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") or any state securities laws and
that no transfer may be made unless the Class [A-PO][A-WIO][B-3][B-4][B-5]
Certificates are registered under the Act and applicable state law or
unless an exemption from registration is available. The Purchaser further
understands that neither NASCOR, the Master Servicer nor the Trust
Administrator is under any obligation to register the Class
[A-PO][A-WIO][B-3][B-4][B-5] Certificates or make an exemption available.
In the event that such a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an
exemption from the Act or applicable state securities laws, (i) the Trust
Administrator shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws,
that the Certificateholder's prospective transferee certify to NASCOR and
the Trust Administrator as to the factual basis for the registration or
qualification exemption relied upon, and (ii) unless the transferee is a
"Qualified Institutional Buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A of the Act,
the Trust Administrator or NASCOR may, if such transfer is made within
three years from the later of (a) the Closing Date or (b) the last date on
which NASCOR or any affiliate thereof was a holder of the Certificates
proposed to be transferred, require an Opinion of Counsel that such
transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Act and state
securities laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer or NASCOR. Any such
Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master
Servicer, any Paying Agent acting on behalf of the Trust Administrator and
NASCOR 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.
(b) No transfer of a Class [A-PO][A-WIO][B-3][B-4][B-5] Certificate
shall be made unless the transferee provides NASCOR and the Trust
Administrator with a Transferee's Letter, substantially in the form of this
Agreement.
(c) The Purchaser acknowledges that its Class
[A-PO][A-WIO][B-3][B-4][B-5] Certificates bear a legend setting forth the
applicable restrictions on transfer.

SPECIAL SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section 2.01 Reports and Notices
(a) In connection with the performance of its duties under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement relating to the realization upon defaulted Mortgage Loans,
the Company as Master Servicer shall provide to the Purchaser the following
notices and reports:
(i) Within five Business Days after each Distribution Date (or
included in or with the monthly statements to Certificateholders pursuant
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Company, shall provide to the
Purchaser a report, using the same methodology and calculations in its
standard servicing reports, indicating for the Trust Estate the number of
Mortgage Loans that are (A) thirty days, (B) sixty days, (C) ninety days or
more delinquent or (D) in foreclosure, and indicating for each such
Mortgage Loan the loan number and outstanding principal balance.
(ii) Prior to the Commencement of Foreclosure in connection with any
Mortgage Loan, the Company shall cause (to the extent that the Company as
Master Servicer is granted such authority in the related Servicing
Agreement) the Servicer to provide the Purchaser with a notice (sent by
telecopier) of such proposed and imminent foreclosure, stating the loan
number and the aggregate amount owing under the Mortgage Loan. Such notice
may be provided to the Purchaser in the form of a copy of a referral letter
from such Servicer to an attorney requesting the institution of
foreclosure.
(b) If requested by the Purchaser, the Company shall cause the Servicer (to
the extent that the Company as Master Servicer is granted such authority in the
related Servicing Agreement) to make its servicing personnel available (during
their normal business hours) to respond to reasonable inquiries, by phone or in
writing by facsimile, electronic, or overnight mail transmission, by the
Purchaser in connection with any Mortgage Loan identified in a report under
subsection (a) (i) (B), (a) (i) (C), (a) (i) (D), or (a) (ii) which has been
given to the Purchaser; provided, that (1) the related Servicer shall only be
required to provide information that is readily accessible to its servicing
personnel and is non-confidential and (2) the related Servicer shall respond
within five Business Days orally or in writing by facsimile transmission.
(c) In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall cause the Servicer (to
the extent that the Company as Master Servicer is granted such authority in the
related Servicing Agreement) to provide to the Purchaser such information as the
Purchaser may reasonably request provided, however, that such information is
consistent with normal reporting practices, concerning each Mortgage Loan that
is at least ninety days delinquent and each Mortgage Loan which has become real
estate owned, through the final liquidation thereof; provided, that the related
Servicer shall only be required to provide information that is readily
accessible to its servicing personnel and is non-confidential provided, however,
that the Purchaser will reimburse the Company and the related Servicer for any
out of pocket expenses.
Section 2.02 Purchaser's Election to Delay Foreclosure Proceedings
(a) The Purchaser shall be deemed to direct the Company to direct (to the
extent that the Company as Master Servicer is granted such authority in the
related Servicing Agreement) the related Servicer that in the event that the
Company does not receive written notice of the Purchaser's election pursuant to
subsection (b) below within 24 hours (exclusive of any intervening non-Business
Days) of transmission of the notice provided by the Company under Section 2.01
(a) (ii) subject to extension as set forth in Section 2.02(b), the related
Servicer may proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure in respect of such
Mortgage Loan in accordance with its normal foreclosure policies without further
notice to the Purchaser. Any foreclosure that has been initiated may be
discontinued (i) without notice to the Purchaser if the Mortgage Loan has been
brought current or if a refinancing or prepayment occurs with respect to the
Mortgage Loan (including by means of a short payoff approved by the related
Servicer) or (ii) if the related Servicer has reached the terms of a forbearance
agreement with the borrower. In the latter case, the related Servicer may
complete such forbearance agreement unless instructed otherwise by the Purchaser
within two Business Days notification.
(b) In connection with any Mortgage Loan with respect to which a notice
under Section 2.01(a)(ii) has been given to the Purchaser, the Purchaser may
elect to instruct the Company to cause, to the extent that the Company as Master
Servicer is granted such authority in the related Servicing Agreement, the
related Servicer to delay the Commencement of Foreclosure until such time as the
Purchaser determines that the related Servicer may proceed with the Commencement
of Foreclosure. Such election must be evidenced by written notice received
within 24 hours (exclusive of any intervening non-Business Days) of transmission
of the notice provided by the Company under Section 2.01(a)(ii). Such 24 hour
period shall be extended for no longer than an additional four Business Days
after the receipt of the information if the Purchaser requests additional
information related to such foreclosure; provided, however, that the Purchaser
will have at least one Business Day to respond to any requested additional
information. Any such additional information shall be provided only to the
extent it (i) is not confidential in nature and (ii) is obtainable by the
related Servicer from existing reports, certificates or statements or is
otherwise readily accessible to its servicing personnel. The Purchaser agrees
that it has no right to deal with the mortgagor during such period. However, if
such servicing activities include acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or
short payoff, the Purchaser will be notified and given two Business Days to
respond.
(c) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an
Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Purchaser shall obtain a Current Appraisal as
soon as practicable, but in no event more than 15 business days thereafter, and
shall provide the Company with a copy of such Current Appraisal.
(d) Within two Business Days of making any Election to Delay Foreclosure,
the Purchaser shall remit by wire transfer to the Company, for deposit in the
Collateral Fund, an amount, as calculated by the Company, equal to the sum of
(i) 125% of the greater of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and
the value shown in the Current Appraisal referred to in subsection (c) above
(or, if such Current Appraisal has not yet been obtained, the Company's estimate
thereof, in which case the required deposit under this subsection shall be
adjusted upon obtaining such Current Appraisal), and (ii) three months' interest
on the Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate. If any Election
to Delay Foreclosure extends for a period in excess of three months (such excess
period being referred to herein as the "Excess Period"), within two Business
Days the Purchaser shall remit by wire transfer in advance to the Company for
deposit in the Collateral Fund the amount of each additional month's interest,
as calculated by the Company, equal to interest on the Mortgage Loan at the
applicable Mortgage Interest Rate for the Excess Period. The terms of this
Agreement will no longer apply to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan upon the
failure of the Purchaser to deposit any of the above amounts relating to the
Mortgage Loan within two Business Days of the Election to Delay Foreclosure or
within two Business Days of the commencement of the Excess Period subject to
Section 3.01.
(e) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an
Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Company may withdraw from the Collateral Fund
from time to time amounts necessary to reimburse the related Servicer for all
related Monthly Advances and Liquidation Expenses thereafter made by such
Servicer in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related
Servicing Agreement. To the extent that the amount of any such Liquidation
Expenses is determined by the Company based on estimated costs, and the actual
costs are subsequently determined to be higher, the Company may withdraw the
additional amount from the Collateral Fund. In the event that the Mortgage Loan
is brought current by the mortgagor and the foreclosure action is discontinued,
the amounts so withdrawn from the Collateral Fund shall be redeposited if and to
the extent that reimbursement therefor from amounts paid by the mortgagor is not
prohibited pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related
Servicing Agreement, applicable law or the related mortgage note. Except as
provided in the preceding sentence, amounts withdrawn from the Collateral Fund
to cover Monthly Advances and Liquidation Expenses shall not be redeposited
therein or otherwise reimbursed to the Purchaser. If and when any such Mortgage
Loan is brought current by the mortgagor, all amounts remaining in the
Collateral Fund in respect of such Mortgage Loan (after adjustment for all
permitted withdrawals and deposits pursuant to this subsection) shall be
released to the Purchaser.
(f) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an
Election to Delay Foreclosure, the related Servicer shall continue to service
the Mortgage Loan in accordance with its customary procedures (other than the
delay in Commencement of Foreclosure as provided herein). If and when the
Purchaser shall notify the Company that it believes that it is appropriate to do
so, the related Servicer may proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure. In
any event, if the Mortgage Loan is not brought current by the mortgagor by the
time the loan becomes 6 months delinquent, the Purchaser's election shall no
longer be effective and at the Purchaser's option, either (i) the Purchaser
shall purchase the Mortgage Loan from the related Trust Estate at a purchase
price equal to the fair market value as shown on the Current Appraisal, to be
paid by (x) applying any balance in the Collateral Fund to such to such purchase
price, and (y) to the extent of any deficiency, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds from the Purchaser to the Company for deposit in the related
Certificate Account; or (ii) the related Servicer shall proceed with the
Commencement of Foreclosure.
(g) Upon the occurrence of a liquidation with respect to any Mortgage Loan
as to which the Purchaser made an Election to Delay Foreclosure and as to which
the related Servicer proceeded with the Commencement of Foreclosure in
accordance with subsection (f) above, the Company shall calculate the amount, if
any, by which the value shown on the Current Appraisal obtained under subsection
(c) exceeds the actual sales price obtained for the related Mortgaged Property
(net of Liquidation Expenses and accrued interest related to the extended
foreclosure period), and the Company shall withdraw the amount of such excess
from the Collateral Fund, shall remit the same to the Trust Estate and in its
capacity as Master Servicer shall apply such amount as additional Liquidation
Proceeds pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. After making such
withdrawal, all amounts remaining in the Collateral Fund in respect of such
Mortgage Loan (after adjustment for all permitted withdrawals and deposits
pursuant to this Agreement) shall be released to the Purchaser.
Section 2.03 Purchaser's Election to Commence Foreclosure Proceedings
(a) In connection with any Mortgage Loan identified in a report under
Section 2.01(a)(i)(B), the Purchaser may elect to instruct the Company to cause,
to the extent that the Company as Master Servicer is granted such authority in
the related Servicing Agreement, the related Servicer to proceed with the
Commencement of Foreclosure as soon as practicable. Such election must be
evidenced by written notice received by the Company by 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third Business Day following the delivery of such report under
Section 2.01(a)(i).
(b) Within two Business Days of making any Election to Foreclose, the
Purchaser shall remit to the Company, for deposit in the Collateral Fund, an
amount, as calculated by the Company, equal to 125% of the current unpaid
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and three months interest on the Mortgage
Loan at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate. If and when any such Mortgage
Loan is brought current by the mortgagor, all amounts in the Collateral Fund in
respect of such Mortgage Loan (after adjustment for all permitted withdrawals
and deposits pursuant to this Agreement) shall be released to the Purchaser if
and to the extent that reimbursement therefor from amounts paid by the mortgagor
is not prohibited pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related
Servicing Agreement, applicable law or the related mortgage note. The terms of
this Agreement will no longer apply to the servicing of any Mortgage Loan upon
the failure of the Purchaser to deposit the above amounts relating to the
Mortgage Loan within two Business Days of the Election to Foreclose subject to
Section 3.01.
(c) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser has made an
Election to Foreclose, the related Servicer shall continue to service the
Mortgage Loan in accordance with its customary procedures (other than
Commencement of Foreclosure as provided herein). In connection therewith, the
Company shall have the same rights to make withdrawals for Monthly Advances and
Liquidations Expenses from the Collateral Fund as are provided under Section
2.02(e), and the Company shall make reimbursements thereto to the limited extent
provided under such subsection in accordance with its customary procedures. The
Company shall not be required to cause, to the extent that the Company as Master
Servicer is granted such authority in the related Servicing Agreement, the
related Servicer to proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure if (i) the same
is stayed as a result of the mortgagor's bankruptcy or is otherwise barred by
applicable law, or to the extent that all legal conditions precedent thereto
have not yet been complied with, or (ii) the Company believes there is a breach
of representations or warranties by the Company, a Servicer, or a Seller, which
may result in a repurchase or substitution of such Mortgage Loan, or (iii) the
Company or related Servicer reasonably believes the Mortgaged Property may be
contaminated with or affected by hazardous wastes or hazardous substances (and,
without limiting the related Servicer's right not to proceed with the
Commencement of Foreclosure, the Company supplies the Purchaser with information
supporting such belief). Any foreclosure that has been initiated may be
discontinued (x) without notice to the Purchaser if the Mortgage Loan has been
brought current or if a refinancing or prepayment occurs with respect to the
Mortgage Loan (including by means of a short payoff approved by the Purchaser)
or (y) with notice to the Purchaser if the related Servicer has reached the
terms of a forbearance agreement unless instructed otherwise by the Purchaser
within two Business Days of such notification. Any such instruction shall be
based upon a decision that such forbearance agreement is not in conformity with
reasonable servicing practices.
(d) Upon the occurrence of a liquidation with respect to any Mortgage Loan
as to which the Purchaser made an Election to Foreclose and as to which the
related Servicer proceeded with the Commencement of Foreclosure in accordance
with subsection (c) above, the Company shall calculate the amount, if any, by
which the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan at the time of
liquidation (plus all unreimbursed interest and servicing advances and
Liquidation Expenses in connection therewith other than those paid from the
Collateral Fund) exceeds the actual sales price obtained for the related
Mortgaged Property, and the Company shall withdraw the amount of such excess
from the Collateral Fund, shall remit the same to the Trust Estate and in its
capacity as Master Servicer shall apply such amount as additional Liquidation
Proceeds pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. After making such
withdrawal, all amounts remaining in the Collateral Fund (after adjustment for
all withdrawals and deposits pursuant to subsection (c) in respect of such
Mortgage Loan shall be released to the Purchaser.
Section 2.04 Termination
(a) With respect to all Mortgage Loans included in the Trust Estate, the
Purchaser's right to make any Election to Delay Foreclosure or any Election to
Foreclose and the Company's obligations under Section 2.01 shall terminate (i)
at such time as the Principal Balance of the Class B Certificates has been
reduced to zero, (ii) if the greater of (x) 43% (or such lower or higher
percentage that represents the related Servicer's actual historical loss
experience with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the related pool as determined
by the Company) of the aggregate principal balance of all Mortgage Loans that
are in foreclosure or are more than 90 days delinquent on a contractual basis
and REO properties or (y) the aggregate amount that the Company estimates
through the normal servicing practices of the related Servicer will be required
to be withdrawn from the Collateral Fund with respect to Mortgage Loans as to
which the Purchaser has made an Election to Delay Foreclosure or an Election to
Foreclosure, exceeds (z) the then-current principal balance of the Class B
Certificates, (iii) upon any transfer by the Purchaser of any interest (other
than the minority interest therein, but only if the transferee provides written
acknowledgment to the Company of the Purchaser's right hereunder and that such
transferee will have no rights hereunder) in the Class B Certificates (whether
or not such transfer is registered under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement),
including any such transfer in connection with a termination of the Trust Estate
or (iv) upon any breach of the terms of this Agreement by the Purchaser.
(b) Except as set forth in 2.04(a), this Agreement and the respective
rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Purchaser and the Company
hereunder shall terminate upon the later to occur of (i) the final liquidation
of the last Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser made any Election to Delay
Foreclosure or any Election to Foreclose and the withdrawal of all remaining
amounts in the Collateral Fund as provided herein and (ii) ten Business Days'
notice. The Purchaser's right to make an election pursuant to Section 2.02 or
Section 2.03 hereof with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan shall terminate
if the Purchaser fails to make any deposit required pursuant to Section 2.02(d)
or 2.03(b) or if the Purchaser fails to make any other deposit to the Collateral
Fund pursuant to this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
COLLATERAL FUND; SECURITY INTEREST

Upon receipt from the Purchaser of the initial amount required to be
deposited in the Collateral Fund pursuant to Article II, the Company shall

books and records an account (the "Collateral Fund"), entitled "Norwest Bank
Minnesota, National Association, as Master Servicer, for the benefit of
registered holders of Norwest Asset Securities Corporation Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1997-16. Amounts held in the Collateral Fund shall continue
to be the property of the Purchaser, subject to the first priority security
interest granted hereunder for the benefit of the Certificateholders, until
withdrawn from the Collateral Fund pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof. The
Collateral Fund shall be an "outside reserve fund" within the meaning of the
REMIC Provisions, beneficially owned by the Purchaser for federal income tax
purposes. All income, gain, deduction or loss with respect to the Collateral
Fund shall be that of the Purchaser. All distributions from the Trust Fund to
the Collateral Fund shall be treated as distributed to the Purchaser as the
beneficial owner thereof.
Upon the termination of this Agreement and the liquidation of all Mortgage
Loans as to which the Purchaser has made any Election to Delay Foreclosure or
any Election to Foreclose pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof, the Company shall
distribute or cause to be distributed to the Purchaser all amounts remaining in
the Collateral Fund (after adjustment for all deposits and permitted withdrawals
pursuant to this Agreement) together with any investment earnings thereon. In
the event the Purchaser has made any Election to Delay Foreclosure or any
Election to Foreclose, prior to any distribution to the Purchaser of all amounts
remaining in the Collateral Fund, funds in the Collateral Fund shall be applied
consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 3.02. Collateral Fund Permitted Investments.
The Company shall, at the written direction of the Purchaser, invest the
funds in the Collateral Fund in Collateral Fund Permitted Investments. Such
direction shall not be changed more frequently than quarterly. In the absence of
any direction, the Company shall select such investments in accordance with the
definition of Collateral Fund Permitted Investments in its discretion.
All income and gain realized from any investment as well as any interest
earned on deposits in the Collateral Fund (net of any losses on such
investments) and any payments of principal made in respect of any Collateral
Fund Permitted Investment shall be deposited in the Collateral Fund upon
receipt. All costs and realized losses associated with the purchase and sale of
Collateral Fund Permitted Investments shall be borne by the Purchaser and the
amount of net realized losses shall be deposited by the Purchaser in the
Collateral Fund promptly upon realization. The Company shall periodically (but
not more frequently than monthly) distribute to the Purchaser upon request an
amount of cash, to the extent cash is available therefore in the Collateral
Fund, equal to the amount by which the balance of the Collateral Fund, after
giving effect to all other distributions to be made from the Collateral Fund on
such date, exceeds the Required Collateral Fund Balance. Any amounts so
distributed shall be released from the lien and security interest of this
Agreement.
Section 3.03. Grant of Security Interest
The Purchaser hereby grants to the Company for the benefit of the
Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement a security interest
in and lien on all of the Purchaser's right, title and interest, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, in and to: (1) the Collateral Fund, (2) all amounts
deposited in the Collateral Fund and Collateral Fund Permitted Investments in
which such amounts are invested (and the distributions and proceeds of such
investments) and (3) all cash and non-cash proceeds of any of the foregoing,
including proceeds of the voluntary conversion thereof (all of the foregoing
collectively, the "Collateral").
The Purchaser acknowledges the lien on and the security interest in the
Collateral for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Purchaser shall take
all actions requested by the Company as may be reasonably necessary to perfect
the security interest created under this Agreement in the Collateral and cause
it to be prior to all other security interests and liens, including the
execution and delivery to the Company for filing of appropriate financing
statements in accordance with applicable law. The Company shall file appropriate
continuation statements, or appoint an agent on its behalf to file such
statements, in accordance with applicable law.
Section 3.04. Collateral Shortfalls.
In the event that amounts on deposit in the Collateral Fund at any time are
insufficient to cover any withdrawals therefrom that the Company is then
entitled to make hereunder, the Purchaser shall be obligated to pay such amounts
to the Company immediately upon demand. Such obligation shall constitute a
general corporate obligation of the Purchaser. The failure to pay such amounts
within two Business Days of such demand (except for amounts to cover interest on
a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 2.02(d) and 2.03 (b)), shall cause an
immediate termination of the Purchaser's right to make any Election to Delay
Foreclosure or Election to Foreclose and the Company's obligations under this
Agreement with respect to all Mortgage Loans to which such insufficiencies
relate, without the necessity of any further notice or demand on the part of the
Company.
