Re: Provident Bank Home Equity Loan Trust 1998-3 Home Equity Loan
Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 1998-3; File No. 333-45369.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Enclosed herewith for filing on behalf of the trust fund (the
"Trust") created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated
as of September 1, 1998 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement")
between The Provident Bank, as Seller (the "Seller"), as Document
Custodian (the "Document Custodian") and as Master Servicer (the
"Master Servicer"), and Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A.,
as Trustee.
The Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 1998-3 (the
"Certificates"), will consist of ten Classes (each, a "Class") of
Certificates: the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates,
the Class A-3 Certificates, the Class A-4 Certificates, the Class A-5
Certificates and the Class A-6 Certificates (collectively, the "Class
A Certificates"), the Class X-1 Certificates and the X-2 Certificates
(collectively, the "Class X Certificates") and the Class R-1
Certificates and Class R-2 Certificates (collectively, the Class R
Certificates"). The Class A-6 will be comprised of two components,
the Class A-6-1 Component and the Class A-6-2 Component (each, a
"Component"). Only the Class A Certificates (the "Offered
Certificates") are being offered hereby. The rights of the holders
of the Class X-1 Certificates and the Class X-2 Certificates to
receive distributions with respect to Mortgage Loans will be pari
passu with the rights of the holders of the Group 1 Certificates and
the Group 2 Certificates, respectively, to receive distributions of
interest. The rights of the holders of the Class R Certificates to
receive distributions of interest. The rights of the holders of the
Class R Certificates to receive distributions with respect to the
Mortgage Loans will be subordinate to the rights of the holders of
the Class A Certificates and the Class X Certificates.
The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate the entire beneficial
interest in a pool (the "Mortgage Pool") of closed-end fixed and
adjustable rate mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans") consisting of
two groups ("Loan Group 1" and "Loan Group 2", respectively, and each
a "Loan Group") held by Provident Bank Home Equity Loan Trust 1998-3
(the "Trust") to be formed pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class
A-3 Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates, the Class A-5 Certificates,
and the Class A-6-1 Component (the "Group 1 Certificates") will
represent undivided ownership interests in Loan Group 1 which
consists of Mortgage Loans with fixed interest rates. The Class
A-6-2 Component (the "Group 2 Certificates") will represent undivided
ownership interests in Loan Group 2 which consists of Mortgage Loans
with adjustable interest rates. The assets of the Trust will also
include certain other property. The Mortgage Loans are secured by
first and second deeds of trust or mortgages primarily on one-to
four-family residential properties.
The Offered Certificates were registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, by a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No.
333-45369). As a result, the Trust is subject to the filing
requirements of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Trust intends to fulfill these
filing requirements in the manner described herein:
The Trust will file, promptly after each Distribution Date (as
defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), a Current Report on
Form 8-K in substantially the form enclosed herewith, including as
an exhibit thereto the applicable Distribution Date report. Each
such Current Report will also disclose under Item 5 any matter
occurring during the relevant reporting period which would be
reportable under Item 1, 2, 4 or 5 of Part II of Form 10-Q.
The Trust will file a Current Report on Form 8-K promptly after the
occurrence of any event described under Item 2, 3, 4 or 5 thereof,
responding to the requirements of the applicable Item.
Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, the Trust will file
an annual report of Form 10-K which responds to Items 2, 3, and 4 of
Part I, Items 5 and 9 of Part II, Items 12 and 13 of Part III and
Item 14 of Part IV thereof, and include as exhibits thereto certain
information from the Distribution Date reports aggregated for such
year and a copy of the independent accountants' annual compliance
statement required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Trust will follow the above procedures except for any fiscal year
as to which its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act have been suspended pursuant to such Section. In such
event, the Trust will file a Form 15 as required under Rule 15d-6.
Should you wish to discuss the above filing procedures, please call
Judy L. Gomez at (714) 253-7562.
