Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Description of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans
Advanta Mortgage Conduit Services, Inc. (the "Registrant" or
the "Sponsor") registered an issuance of $3,595,000,000 in principal amount of
Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates on a delayed or continuous basis
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),
by the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-52351) (the "Prior
Registration Statement"). On May 6, 1999, pursuant to Section 462(b) of the Act,
the amount of securities still eligible to be sold under the Prior Registration
Statement was carried forward to a new Registration Statement (File No.
333-77927) (the "Registration Statement") and an additional amount of securities
equal to 20% of such amount ($127,500,000) was registered thereby.
Pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Sponsor formed
Advanta Mortgage Loan Trust 1999-2 (the "Trust") which issued approximately
$517,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed
Certificates (the "Certificates"), on June 3, 1999 (the "Closing Date").
This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to satisfy an
undertaking to file copies of certain agreements executed in connection with the
issuance of the Certificates, the forms of which were filed as Exhibits to the
Registration Statement.
The Certificates were issued pursuant to an Pooling and
Servicing Agreement (the "P&S Agreement") attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, dated
as of June 1, 1999, among the Sponsor, Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA, as Master
Servicer, and Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., as Trustee.
The primary assets of the Trust are pool of closed-end
mortgage loans ("Mortgage Loans"), used predominantly to refinance an existing
mortgage loan on more favorable terms, to consolidate debt or to obtain cash
proceeds by borrowing against the related borrower's equity in the real property
and improvements pledged to secure the related Mortgage Loan, secured primarily
by mortgages on single-family residences (which may be detached, part of a two-
to four-family dwelling, a condominium unit or a unit in a planned unit
development) which were conveyed to the Trust on the Closing Date. As of the
Closing Date, the Mortgage Loans had the characteristics described in the
Prospectus dated May 6, 1999, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement dated May
21, 1999 filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) of the Act with the Commission and the

material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to

which they were made when such Prospectus is delivered, not misleading,
or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary during such same
period to amend or supplement the Prospectus or to file under the
Exchange Act any document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus
in order to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, the
Company shall notify the Representative and, upon the Representative's
request, shall file such document and prepare and furnish without

Certificates. The Company will file or cause the filing of such
statements and reports as may be required by the laws of each
jurisdiction in which the Offered Certificates have been so qualified.

(ii) the performance in all material respects by the Company of all of their
respective obligations hereunder; and (iii) the following conditions as of the
Closing Date:
a. The Representative shall have received
confirmation of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. No
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
or any part thereof shall have been issued and no proceeding for that
purpose shall have been initiated or threatened by the Commission. Any
request of the Commission for inclusion of additional information in
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall have been complied
with.
b. None of the Underwriters shall have discovered and
disclosed to the Company on or prior to the Closing Date that the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto contains an untrue statement of a fact or omits to state a fact
which, in the opinion of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson,
counsel for the Underwriters, is material and is required to be stated
therein or is necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
c. All corporate proceedings and other legal matters
relating to the authorization, form and validity of this Agreement, the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Insurance
Agreement, the Indemnification Agreement, the Certificates, the

relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
shall be satisfactory in all respects to counsel for the Underwriters,
and the Company shall have furnished to
- 10 -
<PAGE> 12
such counsel all documents and information that they may reasonably
request to enable them to pass upon such matters.
d. The Representative shall have received the
favorable opinion of Dewey Ballantine LLP, special counsel to the
Company with respect to the following items, dated the Closing Date, to
the effect that:
1. The Company has been duly organized and
is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under
the laws of the State of Delaware, and is qualified to do
business in each state necessary to enable it to perform its
obligations as Sponsor under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. The Company has the requisite power and authority
to execute and deliver, engage in the transactions
contemplated by, and perform and observe the conditions of,
this Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the
Indemnification Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.
2. This Agreement, the Certificates, the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the
Indemnification Agreement and the Purchase Agreement have been
duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company, all requisite corporate action having been taken with
respect thereto, and each (other than the Certificates)
constitutes the valid, legal and binding agreement of the
Company.
3. Neither the transfer of the Mortgage
Loans to the Trust Estate, the issuance or sale of the
Certificates nor the execution, delivery or performance by the
Company of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this
Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the Indemnification
Agreement or the Purchase Agreement (A) conflicts or will
conflict with or results or will result in a breach of, or
constitutes or will constitute a default under, (i) any term
or provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of
the Company; (ii) any term or provision of any material
agreement, contract, instrument or indenture, to which the
Company is a party or is bound and known to such counsel; or
(iii) any order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any
court or governmental agency or body or other tribunal having
jurisdiction over the Company and known to such counsel; or
(B) results in, or will result in the creation or imposition
of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the Trust Estate or
upon the Certificates, except as otherwise contemplated by the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
4. With respect to the Mortgage Loans, the
endorsement and delivery of each Note, and the preparation,
delivery and recording of an Assignment in each case with
respect to each Mortgage is sufficient to fully transfer to
the Trustee for the benefit of the Owners of the Certificates
all right, title and interest of the Company in the Note and
Mortgage, as noteholder and mortgagee or assignee thereof,
subject to any exceptions set forth in such opinion, and will
be sufficient to permit the Trustee to avail itself of all
protection available
- 11 -
<PAGE> 13
under applicable law against the claims of any present or
future creditors of the Company and to prevent any other sale,
transfer, assignment, pledge or other encumbrance of the
Mortgage Loans by the Company from being enforceable.
5. No consent, approval, authorization or
order of, registration or filing with, or notice to, courts,
governmental agency or body or other tribunal is required
under the laws of the State of New York, for the execution,
delivery and performance of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, this Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the
Indemnification Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or the
offer, issuance, sale or delivery of the Offered Certificates
or the consummation of any other transaction contemplated
thereby by the Company, except such which have been obtained.
6. There are no actions, proceedings or
investigations, to such counsel's knowledge, pending or
threatened against the Company before any court, governmental
agency or body or other tribunal (i) asserting the invalidity
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Insurance
Agreement, the Indemnification Agreement, this Agreement, the
Purchase Agreement or the Certificates, (ii) seeking to
prevent the issuance of the Certificates or the consummation
of any of the transactions contemplated by the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, the Indemnification Agreement, or this
Agreement, (iii) which would materially and adversely affect
the performance by the Company of obligations under, or the
validity or enforceability of, the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the Indemnification
Agreement, the Certificates, the Purchase Agreement or this
Agreement or (iv) that would adversely affect the status of
the Trust Estate as a "real estate mortgage investment
conduit" ("REMIC") as such term is defined in the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
7. To the best of the knowledge of such
counsel, the Commission has not issued any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or
any order directed to any prospectus relating to the Offered
Certificates (including the Prospectus), and has not initiated
or threatened any proceeding for that purpose.
8. The Registration Statement and the
Prospectus (other than the financial and statistical data
included therein, as to which such counsel need express no
opinion), including the Incorporated Documents, as of the date
on which the Registration Statement was declared effective and
as of the date hereof, comply as to form in all material
respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder and the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder, and such counsel does not know of
any amendment to the Registration Statement required to be
filed, or of any contracts, indentures or other documents of a
character required to be filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement or required to be described in the
Registration Statement which has not been filed or described
as required.
- 12 -
<PAGE> 14
9. Neither the qualification of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939
nor the registration of the Trust created by such Pooling and
Servicing Agreement under the Investment Company Act of 1940
is presently required.
10. The statements in the Prospectus set
forth under the captions "DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES," "THE
POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT" and the statements in the
Prospectus Supplement set forth under the caption "DESCRIPTION
OF THE CERTIFICATES," to the extent such statements purport to
summarize certain provisions of the Offered Certificates or of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, are fair and accurate in
all material respects.
11. The statements in the Prospectus and
Prospectus Supplement set forth under the captions "ERISA
CONSIDERATIONS," "CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES,"
and the statements in the Prospectus set forth under the
caption "CERTAIN LEGAL ASPECTS OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND RELATED
MATTERS," to the extent that they constitute matters of
federal, New York or California law, or federal, New York or
California legal conclusions provide a fair and accurate
summary of such law or conclusions.
12. Assuming that (a) the Trustee causes the
Trust created under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to
elect, as the Trustee has covenanted to do in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, to be treated as a REMIC and (b) the
parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement comply with the
terms thereof, the Trust will be treated as a REMIC, the
Offered Certificates and the Class B Certificates issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be
treated as the "regular interests" in a REMIC and the Class R
Certificates and the Class RL Certificates issued pursuant to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be treated as
"residual interests" in a REMIC. The Trust will not be subject
to tax upon its income or assets by any taxing authority of
the State of New York or New York City or of the State of
California (except that no opinion need be expressed with
respect to any minimum tax).
13. Such opinion shall also relate to
comparable matters with respect to the Affiliated Originators
and Advanta Mortgage Holding Company.
14. No information has come to such
counsel's attention which causes them to believe that the
Prospectus (other than the financial statement and other
financial and statistical data contained therein, as to which
such counsel need express no opinion), as of the date thereof,
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted
to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.
- 13 -

may reasonably request.
In rendering its opinions, the counsel described above may

authorization, execution and delivery of the instruments and documents referred
to therein by the parties thereto other than the Company.

including bring-down letters, from Arthur Andersen LLP, dated on or

best of such officer's knowledge, threatened against or
affecting the Company which if adversely determined,

to adversely affect the Company's obligations under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Insurance Agreement, the
Indemnification Agreement, this Agreement or the Purchase
Agreement in any material way; and no merger, liquidation,
dissolution or bankruptcy of the Company is pending or
contemplated;

3. the information contained in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus relating to the
Company, the Mortgage Loans or the servicing procedures of it

of Mortgage Loans required to be furnished pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement is true and correct in all

7. on or prior to the Closing Date, there
has been no downgrading, nor has any notice been given of (A)
any intended or potential downgrading or (B) any review or

8. each person who, as an officer or
representative of the Company, signed or signs the
Registration Statement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
the Insurance Agreement, the Indemnification Agreement, this
Agreement, or any other document delivered pursuant hereto, on
the date of such execution, or on the Closing Date, as the

1. the Trustee is a national banking
association duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the United States and has the power
and authority to enter into and to take all actions required
of it under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
2. the Pooling and Servicing Agreement has
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee
and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable
against the Trustee in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability thereof may be limited by (A) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally, as such laws would
apply in the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization or similar occurrence affecting the Trustee,
and (B) general principles of equity regardless of whether
such enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in
equity;

Trustee, or the charter or bylaws of the Trustee, or to the
best knowledge of such counsel, any governmental authority
having jurisdiction over the Trustee or the terms of any
indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the
Trustee is a party or by which it is bound.
In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely, as to
matters of fact, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company, the
Trustee and public officials. Such opinion may also assume the due
authorization, execution and delivery of the instruments and documents referred
to therein by the parties thereto other than the Trustee.
i. The Representative shall have received from the
Trustee a certificate, signed by the President, a senior vice president

an officer or representative of the Trustee, signed or signs the
Offered Certificates, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other
document delivered pursuant hereto, on the date hereof or on the
Closing Date, in connection with the transactions described in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement was, at the respective times of such

and acting as such officer or representative, and the signatures of
such persons appearing on such documents are their genuine signatures.

opinion of in-house counsel to the Insurer, dated the Closing Date and
in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters, to
the effect that:
1. The Insurer is a stock insurance company
duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the
State of Wisconsin and duly qualified to conduct an insurance
business in the State of California and the State of New York.
The Insurer is validly licensed and authorized to issue the
Policy and perform its obligations under the Policy in
accordance with the terms thereof under the laws of the State
of California, State of New York and the State of Wisconsin.
2. The Insurer has full corporate power and
authority to execute and deliver the Policy and the Policy has
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Insurer
and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Insurer enforceable in accordance with its terms except to the
extent that the enforceability (but not the validity) of such
obligation may be limited by any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, liquidation, rehabilitation or other similar law
or enactment now or hereafter enacted affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights and by general principles of
equity.
3. The execution and delivery by the Insurer
of the Policy, the Insurance Agreement and the Indemnification
Agreement will not, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby and the satisfaction of the terms thereof
will not, conflict with or result in a breach of any of the
terms, conditions or provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws of the Insurer, or any restriction
contained in any contract, agreement or instrument to which
the Insurer is a party or by which it is bound or constitute a
default under any of the foregoing.
4. Proceedings legally required for the
issuance of the Policy, and the execution, delivery and
performance of the Insurance Agreement and the Indemnification
Agreement have been taken by the Insurer and licenses, orders,
consents or other authorizations or approvals of any
governmental boards or bodies legally required for the
enforceability of the Policy have been obtained; any

proceedings not taken and any licenses, authorizations or
approvals not obtained are not material to the enforceability
of the Policy, the Insurance Agreement and the Indemnification
Agreement.
5. The Policy is exempt from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
6. There is no action, suit or proceeding
pending against or affecting the Insurer in any court, or
before or by any governmental body, which is likely to affect
or impair the validity or enforceability of the Policy, the
Insurance Agreement or the Indemnification Agreement.
7. The statements contained in the
Prospectus under the heading "THE CERTIFICATE INSURER" and
"THE CERTIFICATE INSURANCE POLICY", insofar as such statements
constitute summaries of the matters referred to therein,
accurately reflect and fairly present the information
purported to be shown and, insofar as such statements describe
the Insurer, fairly and accurately describe the Insurer, other
than any financial or statistical information contained or
incorporated by reference therein, as to which no opinion is
expressed.
8. The Insurer is authorized to deliver the
Insurance Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement, and
each of the Insurance Agreement and the Indemnification
Agreement has been duly executed and is the valid and binding
obligation of the Insurer enforceable in accordance with its
terms except to the extent that the enforceability (but not
the validity) of such obligation may be limited by any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, rehabilitation
or other similar law or enactment now or hereafter enacted
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and by general
principles of equity and subject to principles of public
policy limiting the right to enforce the indemnification
provisions contained therein insofar as such provisions relate
to indemnification for liabilities arising under the
securities laws.
In rendering this opinion, such counsel may rely, as to
matters of fact, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company, the
Trustee, the Insurer and public officials. Such opinion may assume the due
authorization, execution and delivery of the instruments and documents referred
to therein by the parties thereto other than the Insurer.

copy of its certificate or articles of incorporation, as appropriate, and its
bylaws, all of which are in full force and effect on the date of such
certificate.

"nationally recognized statistical rating organization," as such term
is defined for purposes of the 1933 Act.
m. On or prior to the Closing Date, there has been no
downgrading, nor has any notice been given of (A) any intended or
potential downgrading or (B) any review or possible changes in rating

accorded the Company or in any rating accorded any securities of the
Company, if any, by any "nationally recognized statistical rating
organization," as such term is defined for purposes of the 1933 Act.
n. There has not occurred any change, or any
development involving a prospective change, in the condition, financial
or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations, since March
31, 1999, of (A) the Company and its subsidiaries or (B) the Insurer,
that is in the Representative's judgment material and adverse and that
makes it in the Representative's judgment impracticable to market the
Offered Certificates on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the
Prospectus.

minimum prices shall have been established on either of such exchanges
or such market by the Commission, by such exchange or by any other
regulatory body or governmental authority having jurisdiction; (ii) a
banking moratorium shall have been declared by Federal or state
authorities; (iii) the United States shall have become engaged in
hostilities, there shall have been an escalation of hostilities
involving the United States or there shall have been a declaration of a
national emergency or war by the United States; or (iv) there shall
have occurred such a material adverse change in general economic,
political or financial conditions (or the effect of international
conditions on the financial markets of the United States shall be such)
as to make it, in the judgment of the Representative, impractical or
inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or delivery of the
Offered Certificates on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the
Prospectus.
x. The Offered Certificates shall have received the
ratings set forth on Schedule A hereto.
If any condition specified in this Section 6 shall not have
been fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement may be
terminated by the Representative by notice to the Company at any time at or
prior to the Closing Date, and such termination shall be without liability of
any party to any other party except as provided in Section 7.
All opinions, letters, evidence and certificates mentioned
above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to be in compliance with
the provisions hereof only if they are in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters.
Section 7. Payment of Expenses. The Company agrees to pay: (a)
the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the
Offered Certificates and any taxes payable in connection therewith; (b) the
costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act
of the Registration Statement and any amendments and exhibits thereto; (c) the
- 20 -
<PAGE> 22
costs of distributing the Registration Statement as originally filed and each
amendment thereto and any post-effective amendments thereof (including, in each
case, exhibits), the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and any amendment or
supplement to the Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein,
all as provided in this Agreement; (d) the fees and expenses of qualifying the
Offered Certificates under the securities laws of the several jurisdictions as
provided in Section 5(g) hereof and of preparing, printing and distributing a
Blue Sky Memorandum and a Legal Investment Survey (including related fees and
expenses of counsel to the Underwriters); (e) any fees charged by securities
rating services for rating the Offered Certificates; (f) the costs and expenses
of Dewey Ballantine LLP, counsel to the Company; and (g) all other costs and
expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company; provided
that, except as provided in this Section 7, the Underwriters shall pay their own
costs and expenses, including the costs and expenses of Fried, Frank, Harris,
Shriver & Jacobson, any transfer taxes on the Offered Certificates which they
may sell and the expenses of advertising any offering of the Offered
Certificates made by the Underwriters.
If this Agreement is terminated by the Representative, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 6 or Section 10, the Company shall
reimburse the Underwriters for their respective reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses, including fees and disbursements of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver &
Jacobson, counsel for the Underwriters.
Section 8. Indemnification and Contribution.
a. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from and against any and all loss,
claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof
(including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action
relating to purchases and sales of the Offered Certificates), to which such
Underwriter or any such controlling person may become subject, under the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement,
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
(iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Prospectus or (iv) the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading, and shall reimburse such Underwriter and each such
controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or such controlling person in connection
with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent
that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is
based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or the
Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information (including any Derived Information) furnished to the Company through
the Representative specifically for inclusion therein; and provided, further,
that as to any Preliminary Prospectus this indemnity shall not inure to the
benefit of any Underwriter or any controlling person on account of any loss,
- 21 -
<PAGE> 23
claim, damage, liability or action arising from the sale of the Offered
Certificates to any person by such Underwriter if such Underwriter failed to
send or give a copy of the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, to that
person within the time required by the Securities Act, and the untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact in the Preliminary Prospectus was corrected in
the Prospectus, unless such failure resulted from non-compliance by the Company
with Section 5(c). For purposes of the last proviso to the immediately preceding
sentence, the term "Prospectus" shall not be deemed to include the documents
incorporated therein by reference, and none of the Underwriters shall be
obligated to send or give any supplement or amendment to any document
incorporated therein by reference to any person other than a person to whom such
Underwriter had delivered such incorporated document or documents in response to
a written request therefor. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to
any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Underwriters or any
controlling person of such Underwriter.
b. Each Underwriter agrees severally, and not jointly to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
against any and all loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect
thereof, to which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling
person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon,
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement, (ii) the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, (iii) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus or (iv)
the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but in each case only
to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter
specifically for inclusion therein, and shall reimburse the Company and any such
director, officer or controlling person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Company or any director, officer or controlling
person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend
against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are
incurred. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability
which any Underwriter may otherwise have to the Company or any such director,
officer or controlling person.
c. Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this
Section 8 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any
indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that
the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have under this Section 8 except to the extent it has
been materially prejudiced by such failure, and provided, further, that the
failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability
which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8.
- 22 -
<PAGE> 24
If any such claim or action shall be brought against an
indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent
that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified
party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this
Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation.
Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified
party unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the
indemnifying party in writing; (ii) such indemnified party shall have been
advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available
to it which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is
advisable for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel; or (iii) the
indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which case, if such
indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to
employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action
on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, the
indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate
but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising
out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in
addition to local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties, which
firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriters, if the indemnified
parties under this Section 8 consist of the Underwriters or any of their
controlling persons, or by the Company, if the indemnified parties under this
Section 8 consist of the Company or any of the Company's directors, officers or
controlling persons.
Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity
agreements contained in Section 8(a) and (b), shall use its best efforts to
cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or
claim. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such
action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a
final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any
loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an
indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the
indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, the indemnifying party
agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30
days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii)
such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in
accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
- 23 -
<PAGE> 25
d. Each Underwriter agrees to deliver to the Company no later
than the date on which the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus
Supplement is required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 with a copy of its
Derived Information (defined below) for filing with the Commission on Form 8-K.
e. Each Underwriter agrees, assuming all Company-Provided
Information (defined below) is accurate and complete in all material respects,
to severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of
the Company's officers and directors and each person who controls the Company
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against any and all
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may
become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Derived
Information provided by such Underwriter, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to
reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by him, her or it in connection with investigating or defending or
preparing to defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such
expenses are incurred. The obligations of each of the Underwriters under this
Section 8(e) shall be in addition to any liability which such Underwriter may
otherwise have.
The procedures set forth in Section 8(c) shall be equally
applicable to this Section 8(e).
f. For purposes of this Section 8, the term "Derived
Information" means such portion, if any, of the information delivered to the
Company pursuant to Section 8(d) for filing with the Commission on Form 8-K as:
(i) is not contained in the Prospectus
without taking into account
information incorporated therein by
reference;
(ii) does not constitute
Company-Provided Information; and
(iii) is of the type of information
defined as Collateral term sheets,
Structural term sheets or
Computational Materials (as such
terms are interpreted in the
No-Action Letters).
"Company-Provided Information" means any computer tape
furnished to the Underwriters by the Company concerning the Mortgage Loans
comprising all or a portion of the Trust Estate.
The terms "Collateral term sheet" and "Structural term sheet"
shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the February 13, 1995
letter (the "PSA Letter") of Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton on behalf of the
Public Securities Association (which letter, and the SEC staff's response
thereto, were publicly available February 17, 1995). The term "Collateral term
sheet" as used herein includes any subsequent Collateral term sheet that
reflects a
- 24 -
<PAGE> 26
substantive change in the information presented. The term "Computational
Materials" has the meaning assigned to it in the May 17, 1994 letter (the
"Kidder letter" and together with the PSA Letter, the "No-Action Letters") of
Brown & Wood on behalf of Kidder, Peabody & Co., Inc. (which letter, and the SEC
staff's response thereto, were publicly available May 20, 1994).
g. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 shall
for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party under Section 8(a) or (b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or
liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party,
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in
such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from
the offering of the Offered Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by
clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party
failed to give the notice required under Section 8(c), in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i)
above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other with respect to the statements or omissions which
resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative benefits of the Underwriters and the Company
shall be deemed to be in such proportion as the total net proceeds from the
offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total
underwriting discounts and commissions.
The relative fault of the Underwriters and the Company shall
be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates
to information supplied by the Company or by one of the Underwriters, the intent
of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission and other equitable
considerations.
The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8(g) were to be
determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which
does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The
amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim,
damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this
Section 8(g) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 8(g), any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
h. For purposes of this Section 8, in no case shall any
Underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of (x) the amount received
by such Underwriter in connection with its resale of the Offered Certificates
over (y) the amount paid by such Underwriter to the Company for the Offered
Certificates purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)
- 25 -
<PAGE> 27
of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
g. The Underwriters severally confirm that the information set
forth (i) in the Prospectus Supplement relating to market making and (ii) in the
third paragraph under the caption "Underwriting" in the Prospectus Supplement,
together with the Derived Information, is correct and constitutes the only
information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the
Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus.
Section 9. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to
Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in
this Agreement or contained in certificates of officers of the Company submitted
pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriters or controlling
persons thereof, or by or on behalf of the Company and shall survive delivery of
any Offered Certificates to the Underwriters.
Section 10. Termination of Agreement. The Representative may
terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to the Company, at any time at
or prior to the Closing Date if any of the events or conditions described in

any such termination, the covenant set forth in Section 5(g), the provisions of
Section 7, the indemnity agreement set forth in Section 8, and the provisions of
Sections 8 and 9 shall remain in effect.
Section 11. Notices. All statements, requests, notices and

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
Underwriters and the Company, and their respective successors. This Agreement
and the terms and provisions hereof are for the sole benefit of only those

person or persons, if any, who control the Underwriters within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act, and for the benefit of directors of the
Company, officers of the Company who have signed the Registration Statement and
any person controlling the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the

<PAGE> 28
give any person, other than the persons referred to in this Section 12, any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement
or any provision contained herein.
Section 13. Default by One of the Underwriters. If one of the
Underwriters shall fail on the Closing Date to purchase the Offered Certificates
which it is obligated to purchase hereunder (the "Defaulted Certificates"), the
remaining Underwriters (the "Non-Defaulting Underwriter"), shall have the right,
but not the obligation within one (1) Business Day thereafter, to make
arrangements to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted
Certificates upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Non-Defaulting
Underwriter shall not have completed such arrangements within such one (1)
Business Day period, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on
the part of the Non-Defaulting Underwriter.
No action taken pursuant to this Section 13 shall relieve the
defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.
In the event of any such default which does not result in a
termination of this Agreement, either the Non-Defaulting Underwriter or the
Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period not
exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration
Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.
Section 14. Survival. The respective indemnities,
representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Underwriters
contained in this Agreement, or made by or on behalf of them, respectively,
pursuant to this Agreement, shall survive the delivery of and payment for the
Certificates and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of any of them or any person controlling any
of them.
Section 15. Definition of the Term "Business Day". For
purposes of this Agreement, "Business Day" means any day on which the New York
Stock Exchange, Inc. is open for trading.
Section 16. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY

CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS
OF LAW, SPECIFIED TIMES OF DAY REFER TO NEW YORK CITY TIME.
Section 17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts and, if executed in more than one counterpart, the executed
counterparts shall each be deemed to be an original but all such counterparts
shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 18. Headings. The headings herein are inserted for
convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of, or to affect
the meaning or interpretation of, this Agreement.
Section 19. Representations of Underwriters. The

SECTION 2.8. MISCELLANEOUS REMIC PROVISIONS.
(a) The Trustee shall elect that each of the Lower-Tier REMIC
and the Upper-Tier REMIC shall be treated as a REMIC under Section 860D of the
Code. Any inconsistencies or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the
administration of this Agreement shall be resolved in a manner that preserves

41
<PAGE> 43
(b) The Lower-Tier REMIC will be evidenced by (x) Lower-Tier
Interest 1, Lower-Tier Interest 2, Lower-Tier Interest 3, Lower-Tier Interest 4,
and Lower-Tier Interest 5 (the "Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests"), which will
be uncertificated and non-transferable and are hereby designated as the "regular
interests" in the Lower-Tier REMIC and (y) the Lower-Tier REMIC Residual
Interest, which is hereby designated as the single "residual interest" in the
Lower-Tier REMIC (the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests, together with the
Lower-Tier REMIC Residual Interest, the "Lower-Tier REMIC Interests"). The
Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests shall be recorded on the records of the
Lower-Tier REMIC as being issued to and held by the Trustee on behalf of the
Upper-Tier REMIC.
Lower-Tier Interest 1 shall have an initial principal balance
equal to one percent of the sum of the initial principal balances of the Group I
Certificates (that is, $4,115,000). Lower-Tier Interest 2 shall have an initial
principal balance equal to one percent of the Group I Original Balance (that is,
$4,115,000). Lower-Tier Interest 3 shall have an initial principal balance equal
to one percent of the initial principal balance of the Class A-7 Certificates
(that is, $1,048,000). Lower-Tier Interest 4 shall have an initial principal
balance equal to one percent of the Group II Original Balance (that is,
$1,048,000). Lower-Tier Interest 5 shall have an initial principal balance equal
to the excess of (i) the sum of the Group I Original Balance and the Group II
Original Balance over (ii) the sum of the initial principal balances of
Lower-Tier Interest 1, Lower-Tier Interest 2, Lower-Tier Interest 3, and
Lower-tier Interest 4 (that is, $507,156,000).
On each Payment Date, principal payments on the Mortgage Loans
shall be allocated 99% to Lower-Tier Interest 2, Lower-Tier Interest 4 and
Lower-Tier Interest 5, and 1% to Lower-Tier Interest 1 and Lower-Tier Interest 3
until paid in full. The aggregate amount of principal allocated to the
Lower-Tier Interest 1 and Lower-Tier Interest 3 shall be apportioned between
such Interests in the same manner in which principal on the Mortgage Loans is
payable with respect to the Group I Certificates and the Class A-7 Certificates,
respectively. The aggregate amount of principal allocated to Lower-Tier Interest
2, Lower-Tier Interest 4 and Lower-Tier Interest 5 shall be allocated and
apportioned among such Interests first, to Lower-Tier Interest 2 and Lower-Tier
Interest 4 the least amount of principal necessary which when applied to such
Interests can be applied so that the ratio of the principal balance of
Lower-Tier Interest 2 to the principal balance of Lower-Tier Interest 4 equals
the ratio of the sum of Loan Balances of the Mortgage Loans in Group I to the
sum of the Loan Balances of the Mortgage Loans in Group II (the "Balance Ratio")
and second, to Lower-Tier Interest 5.
Any Overcollateralization Increase Amount will not be paid as
interest to the Lower-Tier REMIC Regular Interests, but instead to the extent
available, a portion of the interest payable with respect to Lower-Tier Interest
5 which equals 1% of the Overcollateralization Increase Amount (and, to the
extent 1% of the Overcollateralization Increase Amount exceeds the interest
payable on Lower-Tier Interest 5, a pro rata portion of the interest payable on
the Lower-Tier Interest 2 and Lower-Tier Interest 4 equal to such excess) will
be payable as a reduction of the principal balances of Lower-Tier Interest 1 and
Lower-Tier Interest 3 in the same manner in which the Overcollateralization
Increase Amount is allocated among the Class A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, A-5, A-6 and
Class A-7 Certificates, respectively (and will be accrued and added to principal
on Lower-Tier Interest 2, Lower-Tier Interest 4 and Lower-Tier Interest 5 in the
same proportion as interest payable on such Interests is used to reduce
principal on other Interests as just described).
Notwithstanding the above, principal payments on the Mortgage
Loans that are attributable to the Overcollateralization Reduction Amount shall
be allocated to Lower-Tier Interest 2, Lower-Tier Interest 4 and Lower-Tier
Interest 5 (allocated first to Lower-Tier Interest
42
<PAGE> 44
5 until such certificates are paid in full, and second to Lower-Tier Interest 2
and Lower-Tier Interest 4 and apportioned between Lower-Tier Interest 2 and
Lower-Tier Interest 4 in such a manner that the Balance Ratio is maintained
until paid in full).
Realized Losses shall be applied such that after all
distributions have been made on such Payment Date the principal balances
Lower-Tier Interest 1 and Lower-Tier Interest 3 are each 1% of the principal
balances of the Group I Certificates and Class A-7 Certificates, respectively,
and the aggregate principal balance of Lower-Tier Interest 2, Lower-Tier
Interest 4 and Lower-Tier Interest 5 is equal to the sum of the Loan Balances of
the Mortgage Loans less an amount equal to the sum of the principal balances of
Lower-Tier Interest 1 and Lower-Tier Interest 3 and is allocated and apportioned
first, to Lower-Tier Interest 2 and Lower-Tier Interest 4 the least amount of
Realized Losses necessary which when applied to such Interests can be applied in
such a manner that the Balance Ratio is maintained, and second, to Lower-Tier
Interest 5.
Lower-Tier Interest 1 and Lower-Tier Interest 2 shall each
have Pass-Through Rates equal to the Group I Net Weighted Average Coupon Rate
(expressed as a per annum rate on the sum of the Loan Balances for Mortgage
Loans in Group I). Lower-Tier Interest 3 and Lower-Tier Interest 4 shall each
have a Pass-Through Rate equal to the Group II Net Weighted Average Coupon Rate
(expressed as a per annum rate on the sum of the Loan Balances for the Mortgage
Loans in Group II). Lower-Tier Interest 5 shall have a Pass-Through Rate equal
to the weighted average of the Group I Net Weighted Average Coupon Rate and the
Group II Net Weighted Average Coupon Rate (expressed as a per annum rate on the
sum of Loan Balances of the Mortgage Loans). The Lower-Tier REMIC Residual
Interest shall have no principal balance and no Pass-Through Rate and shall be
entitled to only those distributable assets, if any, remaining in the Lower-Tier
REMIC on each Payment Date after all amounts required to be distributed to
Lower-Tier Interest 1, Lower-Tier Interest 2, Lower-Tier Interest 3, Lower-tier
Interest 4, and Lower-Tier Interest 5 and applicable Trust expenses have been
paid.
The Lower-Tier REMIC Interests will have the following
designations and Pass-Through Rates, and distributions of principal and interest
thereon shall be allocated to the Certificates in the following manner:

Loans to the Trustee.
Upon discovery by any of the Originators, the Master Servicer,

demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Certificate Insurer and the
Trustee that it is diligently pursuing remedial action, then the cure period may
be extended with the written approval of the Certificate Insurer and the
Trustee.
SECTION 3.3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SPONSOR
WITH RESPECT TO THE MORTGAGE LOANS.
(a) The Sponsor makes the following representations and
warranties as to the Mortgage Loans on which the Certificate Insurer relies and
the Trustee relies in accepting the Mortgage Loans in trust and executing and
authenticating the Certificates. Such representations and warranties speak as of
the Startup Day with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans, as of the Subsequent

upon which any Qualified Replacement Mortgage is added to the Trust, but shall
survive the sale, transfer, and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee:
(i) The information with respect to each Mortgage Loan set
forth in the Schedule of Mortgage Loans is true and correct as of the
Initial Cut-Off Date, the Replacement Cut-Off Date or the Subsequent
Cut-Off Date, as the case may be;

in Section 3.5 (including all material documents related thereto) with
respect to each Mortgage Loan has been or will be delivered to the
Trustee no later than the Startup Day, the related Subsequent Transfer

to the Trust, as the case may be, or as otherwise provided in Section
3.5;
49
<PAGE> 51

Servicer or Master Servicer Affiliate;
(iv) The Note related to each Mortgage Loan in Group I as of
the Initial Cut-Off Date bears a Coupon Rate of at least 6.49% per
annum;
(v) As of the Initial Cut-Off Date, no more than 2.91% of the
aggregate principal balances of the Initial Mortgage Loans are 30-59
days Delinquent and no Initial Mortgage Loan is 60 or more days'

(viii) The credit underwriting guidelines applicable to each
Mortgage Loan conform in all material respects to the description

(ix) Each Mortgage Loan is a Qualified Mortgage.
(b) The Sponsor hereby assigns to the Trustee for the benefit
of the Owners of the Certificates and the Certificate Insurer (so long as a
Certificate Insurer Default had not occurred and is continuing) all of its
right, title and interest in respect of each Master Transfer Agreement
applicable to the related Mortgage Loans. Insofar as such Master Transfer
Agreement provides for representations and warranties made by the related
Originator in respect of a Mortgage Loan and any remedies provided thereunder
for any breach of such representations and warranties, such right, title and
interest may be enforced by the Master Servicer or by the Trustee on behalf of
the Owners and the Certificate Insurer. Upon the discovery by the Sponsor, the
Master Servicer, the Certificate Insurer or the Trustee of a breach of any of
the representations and warranties made in a Master Transfer Agreement in
respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Owners or of the Certificate Insurer in such Mortgage Loan, the
party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other
parties. The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the related Originator of
such breach and request that such Originator cure such breach or take the
actions described in Section 3.4(b) hereof within the time periods required
thereby, and if such Originator does not cure such breach in all material
respects, the Sponsor shall cure such breach or take such actions. The
obligations of the Sponsor or Master Servicer, as the case may be, set forth
herein with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred
and is continuing shall constitute the sole obligations of the Master Servicer
and of the Sponsor in respect of such breach.
SECTION 3.4. COVENANTS OF SPONSOR TO TAKE CERTAIN ACTIONS WITH
RESPECT TO THE MORTGAGE LOANS IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS.
(a) With the provisos and limitations as to remedies set forth
in this Section 3.4, upon the discovery by any Originator, the Sponsor, the
Master Servicer, the Certificate Insurer, any Sub-Servicer or the Trustee that
the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.3 of this Agreement or
in a Master Transfer Agreement were untrue in any material respect as of the
Startup Day (or the Subsequent Transfer Date, as the case may be) and such
50
<PAGE> 52
breaches of the representations and warranties materially and adversely affect
the interests of the Owners or of the Certificate Insurer, the party discovering
such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
The Sponsor acknowledges that a breach of any representation
or warranty (x) relating to marketability of title sufficient to transfer
unencumbered title to a Mortgage Loan, (y) relating to enforceability of the
Mortgage Loan against the related Mortgagor or Property or (z) set forth in
clause (ix) of Section 3.3 above constitutes breach of a representation or
warranty which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Owners or
of the Certificate Insurer in such Mortgage Loan.
(b) Upon the earliest to occur of the Sponsor's discovery, its
receipt of notice of breach from any one of the other parties hereto or from the
Certificate Insurer or such time as a breach of any representation and warranty
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Owners or of the
Certificate Insurer as set forth above, the Sponsor hereby covenants and
warrants that it shall promptly cure such breach in all material respects or it
shall (or shall cause an affiliate of the Sponsor to or an Originator to),
subject to the further requirements of this paragraph, on the second Remittance
Date next succeeding such discovery or receipt of notice (i) substitute in lieu
of each Mortgage Loan in the related Mortgage Loan Group which has given rise to
the requirement for action by the Sponsor a Qualified Replacement Mortgage and
deliver the Substitution Amount applicable thereto, together with the aggregate
amount of all Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances theretofore made with
respect to such Mortgage Loan and not previously reimbursed to the Master
Servicer for deposit in the Principal and Interest Account or (ii) purchase such
Mortgage Loan from the REMIC Trust at a purchase price equal to the Loan
Purchase Price thereof, which purchase price shall be delivered to the Master
Servicer for deposit in the Principal and Interest Account. In connection with
any such proposed purchase or substitution, the Sponsor at its expense, shall
cause to be delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer an opinion of
counsel experienced in federal income tax matters stating whether or not such a
proposed purchase or substitution would constitute a Prohibited Transaction for
the REMIC Trust or would jeopardize the status of the REMIC Trust as a REMIC,
and the Sponsor shall only be required to take either such action to the extent
such action would not constitute a Prohibited Transaction for the REMIC Trust or
would not jeopardize the status of the REMIC Trust as a REMIC. Any required
purchase or substitution, if delayed by the absence of such opinion shall
nonetheless occur upon the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a default or
imminent default with respect to the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the delivery of such
opinion or (iii) at the direction of the Control Party. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the Sponsor to cure the defect, or substitute for,
or purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a representation or warranty is untrue
in any material respect and has not been remedied shall constitute the sole
remedy available to the Owners, the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer.
(c) In the event that any Qualified Replacement Mortgage is
delivered by an Originator or by the Sponsor (or by an affiliate of the Sponsor,
as the case may be) to the Trust pursuant to Section 3.3, Section 3.4 or Section
3.6 hereof, the related Originator and the Sponsor shall be obligated to take
the actions described in Section 3.4(b) with respect to such Qualified
Replacement Mortgage upon the discovery by any of the Owners, the Sponsor, the
Master Servicer, the Certificate Insurer, any Sub-Servicer or the Trustee that
the representations and warranties set forth in the related Master Transfer
Agreement or in Section 3.3 above are untrue in any material respect on the date
such Qualified Replacement Mortgage is conveyed to the Trust such that the
interests of the Owners or the Certificate Insurer in the related Qualified
Replacement Mortgage are materially and adversely affected.
51
<PAGE> 53
(d) In the event that any Qualified Replacement Mortgage is
delivered to the Trust, such Qualified Replacement Mortgage must be a Mortgage
Loan which: (i) bears a fixed rate of interest if the Mortgage Loan being
replaced is in Group I and bears an adjustable rate of interest if the Mortgage
Loan to be replaced is in Group II, (ii) has a Coupon Rate at least equal to the
Coupon Rate of the Mortgage Loan being replaced, (which, in the case of a
Mortgage Loan in Group II, shall mean a Mortgage Loan having the same interest
rate index, a margin over such index and a maximum interest rate equal to or
greater than those applicable to the Mortgage Loan being replaced), (iii) is of
the same or better property type and the same or better occupancy status as the
replaced Mortgage Loan, (iv) shall be of the same or better credit quality
classification (determined in accordance with the Originators' credit
underwriting guidelines) as the Mortgage Loan being replaced, (v) shall mature
no later than September 25, 2029, (vi) has a Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio as of
the Replacement Cut-Off Date no higher than the Combined Loan-to-Value Ratio of
the replaced Mortgage Loan at such time, (vii) has a Loan Balance as of the
related Replacement Cut-Off Date equal to or less than the Loan Balance of the
replaced Mortgage Loans as of such Replacement Cut-Off Date, (viii) satisfies
all of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.3 and the
criteria set forth from time to time in the definition thereof at Section
860G(a)(4) of the Code (or any successor statute thereto) and applicable to the
Trust, all as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the Sponsor delivered to
the Certificate Insurer, the Sponsor and the Trustee prior to any such
substitution and (ix) is a valid First Mortgage Loan if the Mortgage Loan to be
substituted for is a valid First Mortgage Loan or, Junior Mortgage Loan of equal
or better priority if the Mortgage Loan to be substituted for is a Junior
Mortgage Loan. In the event that one or more mortgage loans are proposed to be
substituted for one or more mortgage loans, the Certificate Insurer may allow
the foregoing tests to be met on a weighted average basis with respect to the
Mortgage Loans only or other aggregate basis acceptable to the Certificate
Insurer, as evidenced by a written consent delivered to the Trustee by the
Certificate Insurer, except that the requirement of clause (viii) hereof must be
satisfied as to each Qualified Replacement Mortgage.
(e) As to each Mortgage Loan released from the Trust in
connection with the conveyance of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage therefor, the
Trustee will transfer, sell, assign, set over and otherwise convey without
recourse, all of its right, title and interest in and to such released Mortgage
Loan and all the Trust's right, title and interest to principal collected and
interest accruing on such released Mortgage Loan on and after the applicable
Replacement Cut-Off Date; provided, however, that the Trust shall reserve and
retain all right, title and interest in and to payments of principal collected
and accrued interest on such released Mortgage Loan prior to the applicable
Replacement Cut-Off Date.
(f) In connection with any transfer and assignment of a
Qualified Replacement Mortgage to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, the
Sponsor agrees to cause to be delivered to the Trustee the items described in
Section 3.5(c) on the date of such transfer and assignment or, if a later
delivery time is permitted by Section 3.5(c), then no later than such later
delivery time.
(g) As to each Mortgage Loan released from the Trust in
connection with the conveyance of a Qualified Replacement Mortgage the Trustee
shall deliver, on the date of conveyance of such Qualified Replacement Mortgage,
on the order of the Sponsor (i) the original Note, or the certified copy,
relating thereto, endorsed without recourse, to the Sponsor and (ii) such other
documents as constituted the File with respect thereto.
52
<PAGE> 54
(h) The Sponsor shall, in connection with the delivery of each
Qualified Replacement Mortgage to the Trustee, provide the Trustee with the
information set forth in the Schedules of Mortgage Loans with respect to such
Qualified Replacement Mortgage.
(i) It is understood and agreed that the covenants set forth
in this Section 3.4 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Loans
(including Qualified Replacement Mortgages) to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.5. CONVEYANCE OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS.
(a) The Sponsor, concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof, hereby transfers, sells, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys, or
shall request or cause to be transferred, sold, assigned, set over and otherwise
conveyed, without recourse, for good and valuable consideration, to the Trustee,
all right, title and interest of the Sponsor and the Warehouse Trusts in and to
each Initial Mortgage Loan, including all right, title and interest in and to
principal collected and interest accruing on each such Initial Mortgage Loan on
and after the Initial Cut-Off Date and all right, title and interest in and to
all Mortgage Insurance Policies and any other assets included or to be included
in the Trust for the benefit of Owners and the Certificate Insurer. The transfer
of the Initial Mortgage Loans set forth on the Schedule of Mortgage Loans to the
Trustee is absolute and is intended by the Owners and all parties hereto to be
treated as a sale by the Sponsor or the Warehouse Trusts.
(b) The Sponsor agrees to take or cause to be taken such
actions and execute such documents as are necessary to perfect and protect the
Owners' and the Certificate Insurer's interests in each Mortgage Loan and the
proceeds thereof (including, without limitation, the filing of all necessary
continuation statements for the UCC-1 financing statements filed in the
appropriate jurisdictions (which shall have been filed within 90 days of the
Startup Day or the Subsequent Transfer Date, as the case may be)) and to file in
the appropriate jurisdictions any amendments to UCC-1 financing statements
required to reflect a change in the name or corporate structure of the debtor or
the filing of any additional UCC-1 financing statements due to a change in the
principal office of the debtor (within 90 days of any event necessitating such
filing).
(c) In connection with the transfer and assignment of the
Mortgage Loans, the Sponsor agrees to:
(i) cause to be delivered to the Trustee, without recourse, no
later than the Startup Day or any Subsequent Transfer Date or date on
which a Qualified Replacement Mortgage is transferred, as applicable,
the items listed in the definitions of "Advanta Mortgage Files" and
"Conduit Mortgage Files," as appropriate; provided that the assignments
of mortgage listed in such definitions shall be delivered to the
Trustee with respect to the Designated Advanta Mortgage Files within 75
Business Days of the Startup Day, any Subsequent Transfer Date or date
on which a Qualified Replacement Mortgage is transferred, as
applicable.
(ii) cause, within 75 Business Days following the Startup Day,
any Subsequent Transfer Date or date on which a Qualified Replacement
Mortgage is transferred, as applicable, the assignments of Mortgage to
be submitted for recording in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein
such recordation is necessary to perfect the lien thereof as against
creditors of or purchasers from the related Originator to the Trustee;
provided, however, that, for administrative convenience and
facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, assignments of
mortgage shall not be required to be submitted for
53
<PAGE> 55
recording with respect to any Mortgage Loan which relates to an Advanta
Mortgage File only if the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and each
Rating Agency has received an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory in form
and substance to the Certificate Insurer and to each Rating Agency, to
the effect that the recordation of such assignments in any specific
jurisdiction is not necessary to protect the Trustee's interest in the
related Mortgage.
All recording required pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be
accomplished at the expense of the Originators or of the Sponsor.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.5, in those
instances where the public recording office retains the original Mortgage, the
assignment of a Mortgage or the intervening assignments of the Mortgage after it
has been recorded, the Sponsor shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations
hereunder upon delivery to the Trustee of a copy of such Mortgage, such
assignment or assignments of Mortgage certified by the public recording office
to be a true copy of the recorded original thereof.
Copies of all Mortgage assignments received by the Trustee
shall be kept in the related Mortgage Loan file.
Such assignments of mortgage shall, in addition to the
requirements specified in the definition of "Advanta Mortgage Files" and
"Conduit Mortgage Files," as appropriate, be in recordable form. On or before
the Startup Day, any Subsequent Transfer Date or date on which a Qualified
Replacement Mortgage is transferred, as applicable, the Sponsor shall deliver to
the Trustee an original executed power of attorney, from the current
recordholders of the related Mortgage substantially in the form of Exhibit G,
authorizing the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee to record the
assignments of mortgage as provided in clause (ii) above. Pursuant to such power
of attorney, the Trustee also may execute a new assignment of mortgage for any
Mortgage Loan if the original assignment of mortgage delivered by the Sponsor to
the Trustee is not in recordable form at such time as the assignment of mortgage
is to be recorded by the Trustee.
(d) [Reserved]
(e) The Sponsor (or any Warehouse Trust, or any affiliate of
the Sponsor) shall transfer, sell, assign, set over and otherwise convey without
recourse, to the Trustee all right, title and interest of the Sponsor (or any
Warehouse Trust or of such affiliate) in and to any Qualified Replacement
Mortgage delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.3, Section 3.4 or
Section 3.6 hereof and all its right, title and interest to principal collected
and interest accruing on such Qualified Replacement Mortgage on and after the
applicable Replacement Cut-Off Date; provided, however, that the Sponsor (or
such affiliate) shall reserve and retain all right, title and interest in and to
payments of principal due and interest accrued on such Qualified Replacement
Mortgage prior to the applicable Replacement Cut-Off Date.
(f) If a Mortgage assignment is lost during the process of
recording, or is returned from the recorder's office unrecorded due to a defect
therein, the Sponsor shall prepare a substitute assignment or cure such defect,
as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such assignment to be duly
recorded.
(g) The Sponsor shall cause to be reflected on the applicable
records that the Mortgage Loans have been sold to the Trust.
To the extent that the ratings, if any, then assigned to the
unsecured debt of the Sponsor or of the Sponsor's ultimate corporate parent are
satisfactory to the Control Party, Standard and Poor's and Moody's, then any of
the Document Delivery Requirements described
54
<PAGE> 56
above may be waived by an instrument signed by the Control Party, Standard &
Poor's and Moody's (or any documents theretofore delivered to the Trustee
returned to the Sponsor) on such terms and subject to such conditions as the
Control Party, Standard & Poor's and Moody's may permit.
(h) It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans (including all other rights and properties
described in Section 3.5(a) above) to the Trust be construed as a sale of the
Mortgage Loans to the Trust. It is, further, not the intent of the parties that
such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust to secure
a debt or other obligation of the Sponsor, any Warehouse Trust or any of their
respective assignors. However, in the event and to the extent that,
notwithstanding the intent of the parties hereto, any or all of the Mortgage
Loans (including the other rights and properties described in Section 3.5(a)
above) are held to be property of the Sponsor or any Warehouse Trust or any of
their respective assignors, then
(i) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security
agreement within the meaning of Article 9 of the New
York UCC;
(ii) the conveyance provided for herein shall be deemed to
be a grant by the Sponsor and the Warehouse Trusts to
the Trust of a first priority security interest in
all of the Sponsor's and the Warehouse Trusts' right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans
(including the other rights and properties described
in Section 3.5(a) above) and all amounts payable to
the holder of the Mortgage Loans and/or such rights
or properties in accordance with the terms thereof
and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or
involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments,
securities or other property, including all amounts
from time to time held or invested in any Account,
whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities
or other property;
(iii) the possession by the Trustee or its bailees or
agents of items of property that constitute
instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel
paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the
secured party" for purposes of perfecting the
security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the
New York UCC;
(iv) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from
persons holding such property, shall be deemed
notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees
or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the
purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law; and
(v) the obligations secured by the first priority
security interest described in clause (iii) above
shall be deemed to include any and all obligations of
the Trust to pay the principal of and interest on the
Certificates to the Owners and to pay the fees,
expenses and other amounts required to be paid to the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer
and the Owners, all in accordance with and otherwise
subject to the Operative Documents.
55
<PAGE> 57
Any assignment or other transfer of the interest of the
Trustee under any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of
any security interest created hereby. Each of the Sponsor, the Warehouse Trusts
and the Master Servicer shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement,
take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were
deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security
interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority
under applicable law and would be maintained as such throughout the terms of
this Agreement. The Sponsor also covenants not to pledge, assign or grant any
security interest to any third party in any Mortgage Loan conveyed to the
Trustee hereunder.
Upon the Trustee's or the Certificate Insurer's request, the
Sponsor shall perform (or cause to be performed) such further acts and execute,
acknowledge and deliver (or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered) to
the Trustee such further documents as the Trustee or the Certificate Insurer
shall deem necessary or advisable in order to evidence, establish, maintain,
protect, enforce or defend its rights in and to the Mortgage Loans and other
rights and properties transferred hereunder or otherwise to carry out the intent
and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (including UCC-1 financing
statements naming the Sponsor as debtor and the Trustee as secured party and any
continuation statements relating thereto).
SECTION 3.6. ACCEPTANCE BY TRUSTEE; CERTAIN SUBSTITUTIONS OF
MORTGAGE LOANS; CERTIFICATION BY TRUSTEE.
(a) The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Startup
Day, on any Subsequent Transfer Date and any day on which a Qualified
Replacement Mortgage is conveyed to the Trust an acknowledgment of receipt in
the form attached as Exhibit C hereto of the Mortgage Files delivered by the
Sponsor, and declares that it will hold such documents and any amendments,
replacement or supplements thereto, as well as any other assets included in the
definition of Trust Estate and delivered to the Trustee, as Trustee in trust
upon and subject to the conditions set forth herein for the benefit of the
Owners and the Certificate Insurer. On or before the tenth Business Day after
the Startup Day, any Subsequent Transfer Date, and any day on which a Qualified
Replacement Mortgage is conveyed to the Trust, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Certificate Insurer and the Master Servicer an acknowledgment of
receipt of the original Notes for each Mortgage Loan.
The Trustee further agrees to review any documents delivered
by the Sponsor within 90 days after the Startup Day (or within 90 days with
respect to any Subsequent Mortgage Loan or Qualified Replacement Mortgage after
the assignment thereof) and to deliver to the Sponsor, the Certificate Insurer
and the Master Servicer a Certification in the form attached as Exhibit D
hereto. The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or
examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to
determine that they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented
purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face, nor
shall the Trustee be under any duty to determine independently whether there are
any intervening assignments or assumption or modification agreements with
respect to any Mortgage Loan.
(b) If the Trustee during such 90-day period finds any
document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which (i) is not properly
executed, (ii) has not been received within the specified period, (iii) is
unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Schedules of Mortgage Loans,
or (iv) that any Mortgage Loan does not conform in a material respect to the
description thereof as set forth in the Schedules of Mortgage Loans, the Trustee
shall promptly so notify the Sponsor and the Certificate Insurer. In performing
any such review, the Trustee may
56
<PAGE> 58
conclusively rely on the Sponsor as to the purported genuineness of any such
document and any signature thereon. The Sponsor agrees to use reasonable efforts
to remedy a material defect in a document constituting part of a Mortgage File
of which it is so notified by the Trustee. If, however, within 60 days after the
Trustee's notice respecting such defect the Sponsor has not remedied or caused
to be remedied the defect and the defect materially and adversely affects the
interest of the Owners or of the Certificate Insurer in the related Mortgage
Loan, the Sponsor will (or will cause the related Originator or an affiliate of
the Sponsor to) on the next succeeding Remittance Date (i) substitute in lieu of
such Mortgage Loan a Qualified Replacement Mortgage and, deliver the
Substitution Amount or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan at a purchase price
equal to the Loan Purchase Price thereof, which purchase price shall be
delivered to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Principal and Interest
Account. In connection with any such proposed purchase or substitution the
Sponsor shall cause at the Sponsor's expense to be delivered to the Trustee and
the Certificate Insurer an opinion of counsel experienced in federal income tax
matters stating whether or not such a proposed purchase or substitution would
constitute a Prohibited Transaction for the Upper-Tier REMIC or Lower-Tier REMIC
or would jeopardize the status of the Upper-Tier REMIC or Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, and the Sponsor shall only be required to take either such action to the
extent such action would not constitute a Prohibited Transaction for the
Upper-Tier REMIC or Lower-Tier REMIC or would not jeopardize the status of the
Upper-Tier REMIC or Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC. Any required purchase or
substitution, if delayed by the absence of such opinion shall nonetheless occur
upon the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a default or imminent default with
respect to the Mortgage Loan or (ii) the delivery of such opinion or (iii) at
the direction of the Control Party.
Upon receipt of any Qualified Replacement Mortgage or of
written notification signed by a Servicing Officer to the effect that the Loan
Purchase Price in respect of such Mortgage Loan has been deposited into the
Principal and Interest Account, then as promptly as practicable, the Trustee
shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer presented by the
Sponsor, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, and take
such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Sponsor to effect
such transfer by the Trust of such Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Sponsor to accept a transfer of
a Mortgage Loan and to either convey a Qualified Replacement Mortgage or to make
a deposit of any related Loan Purchase Price into the Principal and Interest
Account shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to
Owners, the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer against the Sponsor.
The Sponsor, promptly following the transfer of a Mortgage
Loan from or to the Trust pursuant to this Section, shall deliver an amended
Schedule of Mortgage Loans to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer and shall
make appropriate entries in its general account records to reflect such
transfer. The Master Servicer shall, following such retransfer, appropriately
mark its records to indicate that it is no longer servicing such Mortgage Loan
on behalf of the Trust.
(c) As to any Qualified Replacement Mortgage, the Sponsor
shall deliver to the Trustee with respect to such Qualified Replacement Mortgage
such documents and agreements as are required to be held by the Trustee in
accordance with Section 3.6. For any Remittance Period during which the Sponsor
substitutes one or more Qualified Replacement Mortgages, the Master Servicer
shall determine the Substitution Amount, which amount shall be deposited by the
Sponsor in the Principal and Interest Account at the time of substitution. All
amounts received in respect of the Qualified Replacement Mortgage during the
Remittance Period in which the circumstances giving rise to such substitution
occur shall not be a part of the Trust Estate and shall not be deposited by the
Master Servicer in the Principal and Interest
57
<PAGE> 59
Account. All amounts received by the Master Servicer during the Remittance
Period in which the circumstances giving rise to such substitution occur in
respect of any Mortgage Loan so removed by the Trust Estate shall be deposited
by the Master Servicer in the Principal and Interest Account. Upon such
substitution, each Qualified Replacement Mortgage shall be subject to the terms
of this Agreement in all respects, and the Sponsor shall be deemed (i) to have
made with respect to such Qualified Replacement Mortgage, as of the date of
substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in Section
3.3 and (ii) to have certified that such Mortgage Loan(s) is/are Qualified
Replacement Mortgage(s).
SECTION 3.7. COOPERATION PROCEDURES.
(a) The Sponsor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee covenant
to provide each other and to the Certificate Insurer with all data and
information required to be provided by them hereunder at the times required
hereunder, and additionally covenant reasonably to cooperate with each other in
providing any additional information required by any of them in connection with
their respective duties hereunder.
SECTION 3.8. CONVEYANCE OF THE SUBSEQUENT MORTGAGE LOANS.
(a) On any Subsequent Transfer Date, subject to the conditions
set forth in paragraph (b) below in consideration of the Trustee's delivery of
all or a portion of the balance of funds in the Pre-Funding Account the Sponsor
shall sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey, or shall request or
cause the Trust to acquire from a Warehouse Trust all right, title and interest
in and to each Subsequent Mortgage Loan listed on the Schedule of Mortgage Loans

each such Subsequent Mortgage Loan on and after the related Subsequent Cut-Off

right, title and interest in and to principal collected and interest accrued on
each such Subsequent Mortgage Loan prior to the related Subsequent Cut-Off Date
and provided, further, that the Subsequent Mortgage Loans shall be assigned only
to Group I. The transfer to the Trust of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans set forth
on the Schedule of Mortgage Loans shall be absolute and shall be intended by the
Sponsor, the Owners and all parties hereto to be treated as a sale.
The amount released from the Pre-Funding Account shall be
equal to the aggregate Loan Balances of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans so
transferred, and in no event shall the Sponsor or any Warehouse Trust transfer
to the Trust Subsequent Mortgage Loans having an aggregate Loan Balance in
excess of the Group I Original Pre-Funded Amount.
(b) The Sponsor shall transfer or cause to be transferred to
the Trust the Subsequent Mortgage Loans and the other property and rights
related thereto described in paragraph (a) above only upon the satisfaction of
each of the following conditions on or prior to the related Subsequent Transfer

Certificate Insurer, Moody's and Standard & Poor's with an Addition
Notice and information in an electronic data file with respect to the

Subsequent Mortgage Loans on or after the related Subsequent Cut-Off
Date;
(iv) as of each Subsequent Transfer Date, none of the
related Affiliated Originators, the Master Servicer or the Sponsor was

not result in a material adverse tax consequence to the Trust or the
Owners of the Certificates;

confirming that (i) neither the sale of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans
nor the purchase of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans by the Trust
constitutes a "prohibited transaction", as defined in Section
860F(a)(2) of the Code, and (ii) the Subsequent Mortgage Loans are
Qualified Mortgages;
(viii) the Rating Agencies, the Certificate Insurer,
and the Trustee shall have received, Opinions of Counsel with respect
to certain tax, true sale, and bankruptcy matters related to the

(ix) the Certificate Insurer shall have approved the
transfer.
(c) The obligation of the Trust to purchase a Subsequent

adversely affect the Sponsor.

CERTIFICATES AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS
SECTION 5.1. TERMS.
(a) The Certificates are pass-through securities having the
rights described therein and herein. Notwithstanding references herein or
therein with respect to the Certificates as to "principal" and "interest" no
debt of any Person is represented thereby, nor are the Certificates or the
underlying Notes guaranteed by any Person (except that the Notes may be recourse
to the Mortgagors thereof to the extent permitted by law and except for the
rights of the Trustee with respect to the Certificate Insurance Policy).
Distributions on the Certificates are payable solely from payments received on
or with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than the Servicing Fees), monies in
the Principal and Interest Account, the Pre-Funding Account, the
60
<PAGE> 62
Capitalized Interest Account and, with respect to the Class A-1 and A-7
Certificates, the Supplemental Interest Payment Account, except as otherwise
provided herein, from earnings on monies and the proceeds of property held as a
part of the Trust Estate and, from Insured Payments. Each Certificate entitles
the Owner thereof to receive monthly, on each Payment Date, in order of priority
of distributions with respect to such Class of Certificates, a specified portion
of such payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the related Mortgage Loan
Group and Insured Payments, pro rata in accordance with such Owner's Percentage
Interest and, with respect to the Class A-1 and A-7 Certificates, certain
amounts payable from the Supplemental Interest Payment Account.
(b) Each Owner is required, and hereby agrees, to return to
the Trustee any Certificate with respect to which the Trustee has made the final
distribution due thereon. Any such Certificate as to which the Trustee has made
the final distribution thereon shall be deemed cancelled and shall no longer be
Outstanding for any purpose of this Agreement, whether or not such Certificate
is ever returned to the Trustee.
SECTION 5.2. FORMS. The Certificates shall be in substantially
the forms set forth in Exhibit A hereof with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by
this Agreement or as may in the Sponsor's judgment be necessary, appropriate or
convenient to comply, or facilitate compliance, with applicable laws, and may
have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or
endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any
applicable securities laws or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by
the Authorized Officer of the Sponsor executing such Delivery Order, as
evidenced by his execution thereof.
SECTION 5.3. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY. Each
Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Trust, by the manual signature of
one of the Trustee's Authorized Officers and shall be authenticated by the
manual signature of one of the Trustee's Authorized Officers.
(a) Certificates bearing the manual signature of individuals
who were at any time the proper officers of the Trustee shall, upon proper
authentication by the Trustee, bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
execution and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the
date of authentication of such Certificates.
(b) The initial Certificates shall be dated as of the Startup
Day and delivered at the Closing to the parties specified in Section 4.2 hereof.
(c) No Certificate shall be valid until executed and
authenticated as set forth above.
SECTION 5.4. REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF CERTIFICATES.
(a) The Trustee, as registrar, shall cause to be kept a
register (the "Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it
may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates
and the registration of transfer of Certificates. The Trustee is hereby
appointed registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers of
Certificates as herein provided. The Owners and the Certificate Insurer shall
have the right to inspect the Register at all reasonable times and to obtain
copies thereof.
61
<PAGE> 63
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.8 hereof, upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the office
designated as the location of the Register, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates of a like Class and in the aggregate
principal amount of the Certificate so surrendered.
(c) At the option of any Owner, Certificates of any Class
owned by such Owner may be exchanged for other Certificates authorized of like
Class, tenor and a like aggregate original principal amount and bearing numbers
not contemporaneously outstanding, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the office designated as the location of the Register. Whenever any
Certificate is so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate and deliver the Certificate or Certificates which the Owner making
the exchange is entitled to receive.
(d) Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of Certificates shall be valid evidence of the same ownership interests
in the Trust and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the
Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(e) Any Certificate presented or surrendered for registration
of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the
Owner thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(f) No service charge shall be made to an Owner for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or
exchange of Certificates; any other expenses in connection with such transfer or
exchange shall be an expense of the Trust.
(g) It is intended that the Class A Certificates be registered
so as to participate in a global book-entry system with the Depository, as set
forth herein. Each Class of Class A Certificates shall, except as otherwise
provided in the next paragraph, be initially issued in the form of a single
fully registered Class A Certificate with a denomination equal to the Aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such
Class A Certificate shall be registered in the Register in the name of Cede &
Co., or any successor thereto, as nominee for the Depository.
The Sponsor and the Trustee are hereby authorized to execute
and deliver the Representation Letter with the Depository.
With respect to Class A Certificates registered in the
Register in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository, the Sponsor,
the Master Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee shall have no
responsibility or obligation to Direct or Indirect Participants or beneficial
owners for which the Depository holds Class A Certificates from time to time as
a Depository. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Sponsor,
the Master Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee shall have no
responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of
the Depository, Cede & Co., or any Direct or Indirect Participant with respect
to the ownership interest in the Class A Certificates, (ii) the delivery to any
Direct or Indirect Participant or any other Person, other than a registered
Owner of a Class A Certificate as shown in the Register, of any notice with
respect to the Class A Certificates or (iii)
62
<PAGE> 64
the payment to any Direct or Indirect Participant or any other Person, other
than a registered Owner of a Class A Certificate as shown in the Register, of
any amount with respect to any distribution of principal or interest on the
Class A Certificates. No Person other than a registered Owner of a Class A
Certificate as shown in the Register shall receive a certificate evidencing such
Class A Certificate.
Upon delivery by the Depository to the Trustee of written
notice to the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new
nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions hereof with
respect to the payment of interest by the mailing of checks or drafts to the
registered Owners of Class A Certificates appearing as registered Owners in the
registration books maintained by the Trustee at the close of business on a
Record Date, the name "Cede & Co." in this Agreement shall refer to such new
nominee of the Depository.
(h) In the event that (i) the Depository or the Sponsor
advises the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer in writing that the Depository
is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as
nominee and depository with respect to the Class A Certificates and the Sponsor
or the Trustee is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) the Sponsor at
its sole option elects to terminate the book-entry system through the
Depository, the Class A Certificates shall no longer be restricted to being
registered in the Register in the name of Cede & Co. (or a successor nominee) as
nominee of the Depository. At that time, the Sponsor may determine that the
Class A Certificates shall be registered in the name of and deposited with a
successor depository operating a global book-entry system, as may be acceptable
to the Sponsor, or such depository's agent or designee but, if the Sponsor does
not select such alternative global book-entry system, then the Class A
Certificates may be registered in whatever name or names registered Owners of
Class A Certificates transferring Class A Certificates shall designate, in
accordance with the provisions hereof; provided, that the cost of any such
re-registration shall be paid by the Sponsor.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, so long as any Class A Certificate is registered in the name of
Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository, all distributions of principal or
interest on such Class A Certificates as the case may be and all notices with
respect to such Class A Certificates as the case may be shall be made and given,
respectively, in the manner provided in the Representation Letter.
(j) Neither the Sponsor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate
Insurer, nor the Trustee will have any liability for any actions taken by DTC or
its nominee, Euroclear or CEDEL, including, without limitation, actions for any
aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial
ownership interests in the Class A Certificates held by Euroclear, CEDEL or Cede
& Co., as nominee for DTC, or for maintaining supervising or reviewing any
records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
SECTION 5.5. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN
CERTIFICATES. If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or
the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Certificate, and (ii) in the case of any mutilated Certificate,
such mutilated Certificate shall first be surrendered to the Trustee, and in the
case of any destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, there shall be first
delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be reasonably
required by it to hold the Trustee harmless (provided, that with respect to an
Owner which is an insurance company, a letter of indemnity furnished by it shall
be sufficient for this purpose; provided, that such insurance company possesses
at least an investment grade rating from any of the Rating Agencies), then, in
the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by
a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
63
<PAGE> 65
execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
Class, tenor and aggregate principal amount, bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section,
the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto; any other
expenses in connection with such issuance shall be an expense of the Trust.
Every new Certificate issued pursuant to this Section in
exchange for or in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate
shall constitute evidence of a substitute interest in the Trust, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with
any and all other Certificates of the same Class duly issued hereunder and such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall not be valid for any
purpose.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall
preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.
SECTION 5.6. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The Trustee and any agent
of the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered
as the Owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions with
respect to such Certificate and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither
the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
SECTION 5.7. CANCELLATION. All Certificates surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other
than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by
it. No Certificate shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any
Certificate cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted
by this Agreement. All cancelled Certificates may be held by the Trustee in
accordance with its standard retention policy.
SECTION 5.8. LIMITATION ON TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP RIGHTS.
(a) No sale or other transfer of any Class A Certificate shall
be made to the Sponsor, any Originator or any of their respective affiliates,
other than Advanta National Bank or Advanta Bank Corp.
(b) No sale or other transfer of record or beneficial
ownership of a Class R or Class RL Certificate (whether pursuant to a purchase,
a transfer resulting from a default under a secured lending agreement or
otherwise) shall be made to a Disqualified Organization or an agent of a
Disqualified Organization. The transfer, sale or other disposition of a Class R
or Class RL Certificate (whether pursuant to a purchase, a transfer resulting
from a default under a secured lending agreement or otherwise) to a Disqualified
Organization shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and
such transferee shall not be deemed to be an Owner for any purpose hereunder,
including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on such Class R or
Class RL Certificate. Furthermore, in no event shall the Trustee accept
surrender for transfer, registration of transfer, or register the transfer, of
any Class R or Class RL Certificate nor authenticate and make available any new
Class or Class RL Certificate unless the Trustee has received an affidavit from
the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H. Each
64
<PAGE> 66
holder of a Class R or Class RL Certificate by his acceptance thereof, shall be
deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this Section
5.08(b).
(c) No sale or other transfer of record or beneficial
ownership of a Class B, Class BS, Class R or Class RL Certificate shall be made
unless such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or
is made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the event such a transfer is to
be made within two years from the Startup Day, (i) the Trustee or the Sponsor
shall require a written opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Sponsor 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 Trustee or the Sponsor, and (ii) the
Trustee shall require the Transferee to execute an investment letter acceptable
to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Sponsor certifying to the
Trustee and the Sponsor the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment
letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Sponsor. The Owner of a
Class B, Class BS, Class R or Class RL Certificate desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Sponsor
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws. No Class B, Class BS, Class
R or Class RL Certificate shall be acquired by or transferred to (i) an employee
benefit plan (as defined in section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")) subject to the provisions of Title I
of ERISA, (ii) a plan (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) subject to
Section 4975 of the Code, or (iii) an entity whose underlying assets are deemed
to be assets of a plan described in (i) or (ii) above by reason of such plan's
investment in the entity (each, a "Benefit Plan Entity"). Any transferee of a
Class B, Class BS, Class R or Class RL Certificate shall deliver to the Trustee
a certificate to the effect that it is not a Benefit Plan Entity.
SECTION 5.9. ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS. An Owner may pledge,
encumber, hypothecate or assign all or any part of its right to receive
distributions hereunder, but such pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or
assignment shall not constitute a transfer of an ownership interest sufficient
to render the transferee an Owner of the Trust without compliance with the
provisions of Section 5.4 and Section 5.8 hereof.
ARTICLE VI
COVENANTS
SECTION 6.1. DISTRIBUTIONS. The Trustee will duly and
punctually pay distributions with respect to the Certificates in accordance with
the terms of the Certificates and this Agreement. Such distributions shall be
made (i) by check mailed on each Payment Date or (ii) if requested by any Owner,
to such Owner by wire transfer to an account within the United States designated
no later than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, made on each
Payment Date, in each case to each Owner of record on the immediately preceding
Record Date; provided, however, that an Owner of a Class A Certificate shall
only be entitled to payment by wire transfer if such Owner owns Class A
Certificates in the aggregate denomination of at least $5,000,000.
65
<PAGE> 67
SECTION 6.2. MONEY FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO BE HELD IN TRUST;
WITHHOLDING.
(a) All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to

Certificate Insurer or the Owners of the Class R Certificates), and all
liability of the Trustee with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease;
provided, however, that the Trustee, before being required to make any such
payment, shall at the expense of the Sponsor cause to be published once, in the
eastern edition of The Wall Street Journal, notice that such money remains

expressly provided herein, the Trustee may demand payment or delivery of all
money and other property payable to or receivable by the Trustee pursuant to
this Agreement, including all payments due on the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with the respective terms and conditions of such Mortgage Loans and required to
be paid over to the Trustee by the Master Servicer or by any Sub-Servicer. The

Estate and shall apply it as provided in this Agreement.
SECTION 7.2. ESTABLISHMENT OF ACCOUNTS. On or prior to the
Startup Day, the Sponsor shall cause to be established, and the Trustee shall
maintain, at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, a Certificate Account, a
Pre-Funding Account, and a Capitalized Interest Account, each of which is to be
held by the Trustee in the name of the Trust for the benefit of the Owners of
the Certificates relating to such Mortgage Loan Group and the Certificate
Insurer, as their interests may appear.
SECTION 7.3. THE CERTIFICATE INSURANCE POLICY. On each
Determination Date the Trustee shall determine with respect to the immediately
following Payment Date:
(a) The amounts to be on deposit in the Certificate Account on
such Payment Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan Group (disregarding the
amounts of any Insured Payments with respect to such Mortgage Loan Group and any
investment earnings withdrawn from the Certificate Account in accordance with
Section 7.5(b) hereof) and equal to the sum of (x) such amounts excluding the
amount of any Monthly Excess Cashflow Amount included in such amounts and
excluding an amount equal to the Premium Amount with respect to such Mortgage
Loan Group together with any Servicing Fees and Trustee's Fees with respect to
such Mortgage Loan Group for the related Payment Date plus (y) any amounts of
Monthly Excess Cashflow Amount to be applied on account of such Mortgage Loan
Group; the amounts described in the preceding clause (x) with respect to Group I
and the related Payment Date, are the "Group I Available Funds" and with respect
to Group II and the related Payment Date are the "Group II Available Funds"; the
sum of the amounts described in the preceding clauses (x) and (y) are the "Group
I Net Available Distribution Amount" with respect to the Mortgage Loans in Group

Loans in Group II; provided, however, that the amounts which cannot be
distributed to the Owners of the Class A Certificates as a result of proceedings
under the United States Bankruptcy Code or similar insolvency laws will not be
considered in determining the amount of Available Funds;
(b) If a Group I Deficiency Amount and/or a Group II
Deficiency Amount exists with respect to any Payment Date, the Trustee shall
complete a Notice in the form of Exhibit A to the Certificate Insurance Policy
and submit such notice to the Certificate Insurer no later than 12:00 noon New

Insured Amount in an amount equal to such Group I and/or Group II Deficiency
70
<PAGE> 72
Amount. Upon receipt of Insured Payments from the Certificate Insurer under the
Certificate Insurance Policy, the Trustee shall deposit such Insured Payments in
the Certificate Account.
(c) The Trustee shall distribute all Insured Payments
received, or the proceeds thereof, in accordance with Section 7.5(b)(F) to the
Owners of the related Class of Class A Certificates.
(d) The Trustee shall (i) receive Insured Payments as
attorney-in-fact of each Owner of the Class A Certificates of the related Class
receiving any Insured Payment from the Certificate Insurer and (ii) disburse

forth in Section 7.5(b)(F). The Certificate Insurer shall be entitled to receive
the related Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section 7.5(b)(D)(4) hereof with
respect to each Insured Payment made by the Certificate Insurer. The Trustee
hereby agrees on behalf of each Owner of Class A Certificates and the Trust for
the benefit of the Certificate Insurer that it recognizes that to the extent the
Certificate Insurer makes Insured Payments, either directly or indirectly (as by
paying through the Trustee), to the Owners of such Class A Certificates, the
Certificate Insurer will be entitled to receive the related Reimbursement Amount
pursuant to Section 7.5(b)(D)(4) hereof.
(e) The Trustee shall receive, as attorney-in-fact of each
Owner of a Class A Certificate, any Insured Payment from the Certificate Insurer
and disburse the same to each Owner of a Class A Certificate in accordance with
the provisions of Section 7.5. Insured Payments disbursed by the Trustee from
proceeds of the Certificate Insurance Policy shall not be considered payment by
the Trust Estate nor shall such payments discharge the obligation of the Trust
Estate with respect to such Class A Certificates, and the Certificate Insurer
shall become the owner of such unpaid amounts due from the Trust Estate in
respect of the Class A Certificates. The Trustee hereby agrees on behalf of each
Owner of a Class A Certificate for the benefit of the Certificate Insurer that
it recognizes that to the extent the Certificate Insurer makes any Group I
Insured Payment or Group II Insured Payment, as applicable, either directly or
indirectly (as by paying through the Trustee), to the Class A
Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer will be subrogated to the rights of
the Class A Certificateholders with respect to such Insured Payment, shall be
deemed to the extent of payments so made to be a registered Class A
Certificateholder and shall receive all future distributions until all such
Insured Payments by the Certificate Insurer, together with interest thereon at
the interest rate borne by the Class A Certificates, have been fully reimbursed.
To evidence such subrogation, the Trustee shall, or shall cause the Registrar
to, note the Certificate Insurer's rights as subrogee on the registration books
maintained by the Trustee or the Registrar upon receipt from the Certificate
Insurer of proof of payment of any Group I Insured Payment or Group II Insured
Payment, as applicable. The effect of the foregoing provisions is that, to the
extent of Insured Payments made by it, the Certificate Insurer shall be paid
before payment of the balance of the distributions are made to the other Owners
of the Class A Certificates.
SECTION 7.4. PRE-FUNDING ACCOUNT AND CAPITALIZED INTEREST
ACCOUNT.

the Owners of the Group I Certificates, the Group I Original Pre-Funded Amount

on the Startup Day, the Trustee shall deposit, on behalf of the Owners of the
Group I Certificates, the Group I Capitalized Interest Deposit in the

or upon the order of the Sponsor upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in Section 3.8 hereof with respect to such transfer.
(c) If (x) the Group I Pre-Funded Amount with respect to the
related Mortgage Loan Group has not been reduced to zero by July 16, 1999, or
(y) the Group I Pre-Funded Amount has been reduced to $100,000 or less, or (z)
any Event of Default occurs and is continuing in each case after giving effect
to any reductions in the Group I Pre-Funded Amount on or before the related such
Remittance Date, the Sponsor shall instruct the Trustee to withdraw from the
Pre-Funding Account on such Remittance Date and deposit in the Certificate
Account (i) on behalf of the owners of the Group I Certificates, the difference,
if any, between (A) the Group I Original Pre-Funded Amount and (B) all amounts
theretofore withdrawn from the Pre-Funding Account with respect to Subsequent

Trustee shall transfer the Pre-Funding Earnings, if any, relating to such
Payment Date from the Pre-Funding Account to the Certificate Account.

the Trustee shall transfer from the Capitalized Interest Account to the

after taking into account the transfers on such Payment Date described in clause
(e) above shall be paid to the Owners of the Class R Certificates, and the

<PAGE> 75
(E) fifth, the amount, if any, of the Monthly Excess
Cashflow Amount with respect to a Mortgage Loan Group on a
Payment Date remaining after the allocations described in
clause (D) above is the "Net Monthly Excess Cashflow" with
respect to such Mortgage Loan Group for such Payment Date;

Date until the Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class A-6 Certificates

otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in such
Account. No investments will be liquidated prior to maturity unless the proceeds
thereof are needed for disbursement.
(c) Subject to Section 10.1 hereof, the Trustee shall not in
any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Account held by the

them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of full
release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the
Mortgage Loans and with respect to the related Properties; (ii) may consent to

the affairs of each such REMIC at all times that any Class of Certificates are
outstanding so as to maintain the status of each such REMIC as a REMIC under the
REMIC Provisions; (ii) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to
take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of either
such REMIC or that would subject the Trust to tax and (iii) exercise reasonable
care not to allow either such REMIC to receive income from the performance of
services or from assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by
each REMIC.

Sections 8.13 and 8.14, the Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer and any

Servicer or such Sub-Servicer shall reasonably request to enable the Master
Servicer and such Sub-Servicer to carry out their respective servicing and

reschedule the payment of delinquent payments more than one time in any twelve

consent of the Certificate Insurer; provided, further, however, that, if the

under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and
administering the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter
into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for indemnification of the Master

thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities
with respect to any Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section 8.7.

to the Trustee by wire transfer in immediately available funds for
deposit in the Certificate Account the amounts specified in Section
7.5(a) of this Agreement, (A) for Group I, the Group I Interest
Remittance Amount and the Group I Principal Remittance Amount and (B)
for Group II, the Group II Interest Remittance Amount and the Group II
Principal Remittance Amount.
(e) To the extent that the ratings, if any, then assigned to
the unsecured debt of the Master Servicer or of the Master Servicer's ultimate
corporate parent are satisfactory to the Certificate Insurer and each Rating
Agency, then the requirement to maintain the Principal and Interest Account and
deposit of principal collections and accrued interest may be waived by an
instrument signed by the Certificate Insurer and each Rating Agency, and the
Master Servicer may be allowed to co-mingle with its general funds the amounts
otherwise required to be deposited to the Principal and Interest Account, on
such terms and subject to such conditions as the Certificate Insurer and each
Rating Agency may permit.

SECTION 8.9. DELINQUENCY ADVANCES, COMPENSATING INTEREST AND
SERVICING ADVANCES.
(a) The Master Servicer is required, not later than each
Remittance Date, to deposit into the Principal and Interest Account an amount
equal to the sum of the interest portions accrued (net of the Servicing Fees and
certain other administrative amounts, if any) with respect to Delinquent
Mortgage Loans during the related Remittance Period but not collected on or
prior to such Remittance Date, but only if, in its good faith business judgment,
the Master Servicer reasonably believes that such amount will ultimately be
recoverable from the related Mortgage Loan. Such amounts are "Delinquency
Advances".
The Master Servicer shall be permitted to fund its payment of
Delinquency Advances on any Remittance Date and to reimburse itself for any
Delinquency Advances paid from the Master Servicer's own funds, from subsequent
collections on the related Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer may use funds
deposited to the Principal and Interest Account subsequent to the related
Remittance Period and shall deposit into the Principal and Interest Account with
respect thereto (i) late collections from the Mortgagor whose Delinquency gave
rise to the shortfall which resulted in such Delinquency Advance and (ii) Net
Liquidation Proceeds recovered on account of the related Mortgage Loan to the
extent of the amount of aggregate Delinquency Advances related thereto or (iii)
from its own funds. If not therefore recovered from the related Mortgagor or the
related Net Liquidation Proceeds, Delinquency Advances constituting
Nonrecoverable Advances shall be recoverable pursuant to Section 7.5(b)(E)(3)
hereof.
The parties hereto intend the provision of this Section 8.9(a)
to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(c)(3).
(b) On or prior to each Remittance Date, the Master Servicer
shall deposit in the Principal and Interest Account with respect to any full
Prepayment received on a Mortgage Loan during the related Remittance Period out
of its own funds without any right of reimbursement therefor, an amount equal to
the difference between (x) 30 days' interest at the Mortgage Loan's Coupon Rate
(less the Servicing Fee) on the Loan Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the
first day of the related Remittance Period and (y) the interest (less the
Servicing Fee) paid by the Mortgagor with respect to the Mortgage Loan during
such Remittance Period. Such amount is "Compensating Interest". The Master
Servicer shall in no event be required to pay Compensating Interest with respect
to any Remittance Period in an amount in excess of the aggregate Servicing Fee
received by the Master Servicer with respect to all Mortgage Loans for such
Remittance Period nor shall it be required to pay Compensating Interest due to
partial prepayments or Relief Act Shortfalls.
The parties hereto intend the provisions of this Section
8.9(b) to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(e).
(c) The Master Servicer will pay all "out-of-pocket" costs and
expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in the performance of its servicing
obligations, including, but not limited to, the cost of (i) Preservation
Expenses (including the payment of flood insurance premiums), (ii) any
enforcement or judicial proceedings, including (a) foreclosures, and (b) other
legal actions and costs associated therewith that potentially affect the
existence, validity, priority, enforceability or collectibility of the Mortgage
Loans, including collection agency fees and costs of pursuing or obtaining
personal judgments, garnishments, levies, attachment and similar actions, (iii)
the conservation, management, liquidation, sale or other disposition of any
88
<PAGE> 90
Mortgaged Property acquired in satisfaction of the related Mortgage Loan,
including reasonable fees paid to any independent contractor in connection
therewith, and (iv) advances to keep liens current; and with respect to any of
the foregoing, the Master Servicer is only required to pay such costs and
expenses to the extent the Master Servicer reasonably believes such costs and
expenses will be recoverable from the related Mortgage Loan. Each such amount so
paid will constitute a "Servicing Advance". The Master Servicer may recover
Servicing Advances (x) from the Mortgagors to the extent permitted by the
Mortgage Loans, (y) from Liquidation Proceeds realized upon the liquidation of
the related Mortgage Note and (z) as provided in Section 7.5(b)(E)(3) hereof. In
no case may the Master Servicer recover Servicing Advances from principal and
interest payments on any other Mortgage Loan or from any amounts relating to any
other Mortgage Loan except as provided pursuant to Section 7.5(b)(E)(3) hereof.
The parties intend that the provisions of this Section 8.9(c)
comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(c)(3)(iii).
(d) On the first Remittance Date following the Startup Day,
the Master Servicer shall make an advance (a "Special Advance") with respect to
each Mortgage Loan Group equal to the sum of (x) one-month's interest,
calculated at the weighted average Pass-Through Rate (applicable to such Payment
Date, as the case may be, for the classes of Class A Certificates related to
such Group) with respect to all Mortgage Loans not having a payment due prior to
the June 1999 Remittance Date; the amounts of such Special Advances shall be
included in the related Interest Remittance Amount. Reimbursement of Special
Advances shall be made only as provided in Section 7.5(b)(E)(3).
SECTION 8.10. PURCHASE OF MORTGAGE LOANS. The Master Servicer
may, but is not obligated to, purchase for its own account any Mortgage Loan
which becomes Delinquent, in whole or in part, as to four consecutive monthly
installments or any Mortgage Loan as to which enforcement proceedings have been
brought by the Master Servicer or by any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 8.13.
Any such Mortgage Loan shall be purchased by the Master Servicer on a Remittance
Date at a purchase price equal to the Loan Purchase Price thereof, which
purchase price shall be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer may not purchase any such
Mortgage Loan unless the Master Servicer has delivered to the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer an opinion of counsel experienced in federal income tax
matters acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that such a purchase would not
constitute a Prohibited Transaction for the Trust or otherwise subject the Trust
to tax and would not jeopardize the status of either the Upper-Tier REMIC or the
Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC.
SECTION 8.11. MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE.
(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained with
respect to each Mortgage Loan either a blanket insurance policy as described in
Section 8.11(c) hereof or a hazard insurance policy that provides for fire and
extended coverage, and which provides for a recovery by the Master Servicer on
behalf of the Trust of insurance proceeds relating to such Mortgage Loan in an
amount not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan, (ii) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss
on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the full insurable value of the premises.
(b) If the Mortgage Loan at the time of origination relates to
a Property in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the Master Servicer
will cause to be maintained with respect thereto either a blanket policy as
described in Section 8.11(c) hereof or a flood insurance policy in a form
89
<PAGE> 91
meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration. Such policy shall provide for a recovery by the Master Servicer
on behalf of the Trust of insurance proceeds relating to such Mortgage Loan of
not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan, (ii) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a
replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance that is
available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. The Master Servicer
shall indemnify the Trust and the Certificate Insurer out of the Master
Servicer's own funds for any loss to the Trust and the Certificate Insurer
resulting from the Master Servicer's failure to maintain the insurance required
by this Section.
(c) In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and
maintain a blanket insurance policy insuring against fire, flood and hazards of
extended coverage on all of the Mortgage Loans, then, to the extent such policy
names the Master Servicer as loss payee and provides coverage in an amount equal
to the aggregate unpaid principal balance on the Mortgage Loans without
co-insurance, and otherwise complies with the requirements of this Section 8.11,
the Master Servicer shall be deemed conclusively to have satisfied its
obligations with respect to fire, flood and hazard insurance coverage under this
Section 8.11. Such blanket policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case
the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been
maintained on the related Property a policy complying with paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this Section 8.11, and there shall have been a loss which would have been
covered by such policy, deposit in the Principal and Interest Account from the
Master Servicer's own funds the difference, if any, between the amount that
would have been payable under a policy complying with paragraphs (a) and (b) of
this Section 8.11 and the amount paid under such blanket policy. Upon the
request of the Trustee or the Certificate Insurer, the Master Servicer shall
cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Certificate Insurer, a certified
true copy of such policy.
The parties hereto intend that the provisions of this Section
8.11 comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(c)(3)(ii).
SECTION 8.12. DUE-ON-SALE CLAUSES; ASSUMPTION AND SUBSTITUTION
AGREEMENTS. When a Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the
Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such
conveyance or prospective conveyance, exercise its rights to accelerate the
maturity of the related Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause contained
in the related Mortgage or Note; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall not exercise any such right if (i) the "due-on-sale" clause, in the
reasonable belief of the Master Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable
law or (ii) the Master Servicer reasonably believes that to permit an assumption
of the Mortgage Loan would not materially and adversely affect the interest of
the Owners or of the Certificate Insurer. In such event, the Master Servicer
shall enter into an assumption and modification agreement with the person to
whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such
person becomes liable under the Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law or
the Mortgage Documents, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If the foregoing
is not permitted under applicable law, the Master Servicer is authorized to
enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant to
which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is
substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Note; provided, however,
that to the extent any such substitution of liability agreement would be
delivered by the Master Servicer outside of its usual procedures for mortgage
loans held in its own portfolio the Master Servicer shall, prior to executing
and delivering such agreement, obtain the prior written consent of the Control
Party. The Mortgage Loan, as assumed, shall conform in all respects to the
requirements, representations and warranties of this Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such assumption or substitution
agreement has been completed by forwarding to the
90
<PAGE> 92
Trustee the original copy of such assumption or substitution agreement, which
copy shall be added by the Trustee to the related File and which shall, for all
purposes, be considered a part of such File to the same extent as all other
documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. The Master Servicer shall
be responsible for recording or causing the recordation any such assumption or
substitution agreements. In connection with any such assumption or substitution
agreement, the required monthly payment on the related Mortgage Loan shall not
be changed but shall remain as in effect immediately prior to the assumption or
substitution, the stated maturity or outstanding principal amount of such
Mortgage Loan shall not be changed nor shall any required monthly payments of
principal or interest be deferred or forgiven. Any fee collected by the Master
Servicer or the Sub-Servicer for consenting to any such conveyance or entering
into an assumption or substitution agreement shall be retained by or paid to the
Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision
of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default,
breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any
assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the
Master Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever.
SECTION 8.13. REALIZATION UPON DEFAULTED MORTGAGE LOANS.
(a) The Master Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably effect the ownership on behalf of the Trust of Properties relating to
defaulted Mortgage Loans as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made
for collection of Delinquent payments and which the Master Servicer has not
purchased pursuant to Section 8.10. In connection with such foreclosure or other
conversion, the Master Servicer shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it hereunder, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise or use, as prudent mortgage lenders would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of their own affairs, including, but not limited
to, advancing funds for the payment of taxes, amounts due with respect to Senior
Liens, and insurance premiums. Any amounts so advanced shall constitute
"Servicing Advances" within the meaning of Section 8.9(c) hereof. The Master
Servicer shall sell any REO Property within 35 months of its acquisition by the
Trust, unless the Master Servicer obtains for the Trustee an opinion of counsel
experienced in federal income tax matters, addressed to the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer and the Master Servicer, to the effect that the holding by
the Trust of such REO Property for any greater period will not result in the
imposition of taxes on "Prohibited Transactions" of the Trust or any REMIC
therein as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause either the Lower-Tier
REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing provisions,
the Master Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO
Property for the Owners and the Certificate Insurer solely for the purpose of
its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO
Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the Lower-Tier REMIC
or the Upper Tier REMIC of any "income from non-permitted assets" within the
meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any "net income from foreclosure
property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. Pursuant to
its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall either itself
or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer protect and conserve such
REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the
locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its
conservation and protection
91
<PAGE> 93
of the interests of the Owners, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the
Master Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Owners for the period
prior to the sale of such REO Property. The Master Servicer shall take into
account the existence of any hazardous substances, hazardous wastes or solid
wastes, as such terms are defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of
1976, or other federal, state or local environmental legislation, on a REO
Property in determining whether to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably
convert the ownership of such REO Property. With respect to any Mortgage Loan
secured by a mixed use REO Property, the Master Servicer shall, prior to
foreclosing upon or otherwise comparably effecting the ownership in the name of
the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust, either (x) perform a "phase one
environmental study" of such REO Property or (y) repurchase such REO Property at
the Loan Purchase Price.
(b) The Master Servicer shall determine, with respect to each
defaulted Mortgage Loan, when it has recovered, whether through trustee's sale,
foreclosure sale or otherwise, all amounts it expects to recover from or on
account of such defaulted Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any possibility of a
deficiency judgment), whereupon such Mortgage Loan shall become a "Liquidated
Loan" and, if requested, shall promptly deliver to the Certificate Insurer a
related liquidation report with respect to such Liquidated Loan.
SECTION 8.14. TRUSTEE TO COOPERATE; RELEASE OF FILES.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan (including
the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan or any liquidation of such Mortgage Loan
through foreclosure or otherwise), or the receipt by the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee a Master Servicer's Trust Receipt. Upon receipt of such
Master Servicer's Trust Receipt, the Trustee shall promptly release the related
Mortgage File, as directed by the Master Servicer in the Master Servicer's Trust
Receipt. Upon any such payment in full, or the receipt of such notification that
such funds have been placed in escrow, the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer
is authorized to give, as attorney-in-fact for the Trustee and the mortgagee
under the Mortgage which secured the Note, an instrument of satisfaction (or
assignment of Mortgage without recourse) regarding the Property relating to such
Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be,
shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt
therefor of payment in full, it being understood and agreed that no expense
incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as
the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Principal and Interest Account. In
lieu of executing any such satisfaction or assignment the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer may prepare and submit to the Trustee, a satisfaction (or
assignment without recourse, if requested by the Person or Persons entitled
thereto) in form for execution by the Trustee with all requisite information
completed by the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer; in such event, the Trustee
shall execute and acknowledge such satisfaction or assignment and deliver the
same with the related File, as aforesaid.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate in the servicing of
any Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, foreclosure or other
comparable conversion of a Mortgage Loan or collection under any applicable
Mortgage Insurance Policy, the Trustee shall (except in the case of the payment
or liquidation pursuant to which the related File is released to an escrow agent
or an employee, agent or attorney of the Trustee), upon request of the Master
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of a Master Servicer's
Trust Receipt, release the related File to the Master Servicer and shall execute
such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings,
including, without limitation, an assignment without
92
<PAGE> 94
recourse of the related Mortgage to the Master Servicer; provided that the
Master Servicer shall not have received and not returned at any one time more
than 10% of the entire number of Files. The Trustee shall complete in the name
of the Trustee any endorsement in blank on any Note prior to releasing such Note
to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer. Such receipt shall obligate the
Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to return the File to the Trustee when the
need therefor by the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer no longer exists unless
the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of the
liquidation information, in physical or electronic form acceptable to the Master
Servicer and the Trustee, a copy of the Master Servicer's Trust Receipt shall be
released by the Trustee to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer.
(c) No costs associated with the procedures described in this
Section 8.14 shall be an expense of the Trust.
(d) The provisions set forth in Subsections (a) and (b) may be
superseded by any waiver of the Document Delivery Requirement as may be given by
the Certificate Insurer and the Rating Agencies pursuant to Section 3.5(j)
hereof.
(e) Each Master Servicer's Trust Receipt may be delivered to
the Trustee (i) via mail or courier, (ii) via facsimile or (iii) by such other
means, including, without limitation, electronic or computer readable medium, as
the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall mutually agree. The Trustee shall
promptly release the related File(s) no later than seven (7) business days of
receipt of a properly completed Master Servicer's Trust Receipt or such shorter
period as may be agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Trustee. Receipt of
a Master Servicer's Trust Receipt shall be authorization to the Trustee to
release such Files, provided the Trustee has determined that such Master
Servicer's Trust Receipt has been executed, with respect to clauses (i) or (ii)
above, or approved, with respect to clause (iii) above, by an Authorized Officer
of the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer, and so long as the Trustee complies
with its duties and obligations under this Agreement. If the Trustee is unable
to release the Files within the time frames previously specified, the Trustee
shall immediately notify the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer indicating the
reason for such delay, but in no event shall such notification be later than
five business days after receipt of a Master Servicer's Trust Receipt. If the
Master Servicer is required to pay penalties or damages due to the Trustee's
negligent failure to release the related File or the Trustee's negligent failure
to execute and release documents in a timely manner, the Trustee shall be liable
for such penalties or damages.
SECTION 8.15. SERVICING COMPENSATION. As compensation for its
activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain the amount
of the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan. Additional servicing
compensation in the form of investment income on the Principal and Interest
Account, the Capitalized Interest Account, and on the Certificate Account,
prepayment charges, release fees, bad check charges, assumption fees, late
payment charges, any other servicing-related fees, Net Liquidation Proceeds not
required to be deposited in the Principal and Interest Account pursuant to
Section 8.8(c)(v) and similar items may, to the extent collected from
Mortgagors, be retained by the Master Servicer.
SECTION 8.16. ANNUAL STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE. The Master
Servicer, at its own expense, will deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate
Insurer, on or before the last day of March of each year, commencing in the year
2000, an Officer's Certificate stating, as to each signer thereof, that (i) a
review of the activities of the Master Servicer during such preceding calendar
year and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers'
supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such
review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this
Agreement for such year, or, if there has been a
93
<PAGE> 95
default in the fulfillment of all such obligations, specifying each such default
known to such officers and the nature and status thereof including the steps
being taken by the Master Servicer to remedy such defaults.
SECTION 8.17. ANNUAL INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS'
REPORTS. On or before the last day of March of each year, commencing in the year
2000, the Master Servicer, at its own expense, shall cause to be delivered to
the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer a letter or letters of a firm of
independent, nationally recognized certified public accountants reasonably
acceptable to the Control Party stating that such firm has, with respect to the
Master Servicer's overall servicing operations (i) performed applicable tests in
accordance with the compliance testing procedures as set forth in Appendix 3 of
the Audit Guide for Audits of HUD Approved Nonsupervised Mortgagees or (ii)
examined such operations in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform
Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, and in either case stating such
firm's conclusions relating thereto or (iii) examined such operations in
accordance with the requirements of SAS 70.
SECTION 8.18. ACCESS TO CERTAIN DOCUMENTATION AND INFORMATION
REGARDING THE MORTGAGE LOANS. The Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee
and the Certificate Insurer access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage
Loans required by applicable state and federal regulations, such access being
afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal
business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer.
SECTION 8.19. ASSIGNMENT OF AGREEMENT. The Master Servicer may
not assign its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, unless it
shall have first obtained the written consent of the Trustee and the Certificate
Insurer, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided,
however, that any assignee must meet the eligibility requirements set forth in
Section 8.20(g) hereof for a successor servicer; and provided, further, this
Section 8.19 does not apply to the appointment of Sub-Servicers or to any
assignment to a Master Servicer Affiliate. Notice of any such assignment shall
be given by the Master Servicer to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and
Moody's.
SECTION 8.20. REMOVAL OF MASTER SERVICER; RESIGNATION OF
MASTER SERVICER.
(a) The Trustee, with the consent of the Certificate Insurer
(or the Owners pursuant to Section 6.11 hereof) may remove the Master Servicer

period of seventy-five (75) consecutive days; or
(iv) The Master Servicer shall fail to perform any one or more

approval of the Control Party.
(b) The Certificate Insurer also may remove the Master
Servicer upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i) upon the making of any Insured Payment; provided, however,
that the Certificate Insurer shall have no right to remove the Master
Servicer under this clause (i) if the Master Servicer can demonstrate

Servicer; or
(ii) the failure by the Master Servicer to make any required

shall not have remedied, or shall not have taken actions satisfactory to the
Control Party to remedy, such event or events within 30 days (60 days with
respect to clause (iii)) after the Master Servicer's receipt of such notice
(provided, however, that if the Master Servicer can demonstrate to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Control Party that it is diligently pursuing
remedial action, then the cure period in each case may be extended with the
written approval of the Control Party) and (y) in the event of the refusal or
inability of the Master Servicer to make any required Delinquency Advance or

not been made by the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall so notify in writing an
Authorized Officer of the Master Servicer and the Certificate Insurer as soon as
is reasonably practical.
(c) 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,
the other activities of the Master Servicer so causing such a conflict being of
a type and nature carried on by the Master Servicer at the date of this
Agreement. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master
Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect which shall
be delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer.
(d) No removal or resignation of the Master Servicer shall
become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed
the Master Servicer's responsibilities and obligations in accordance with this
Agreement. If no successor servicer is available, the Trustee shall act as
successor servicer and perform all of the obligations of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, making Delinquency Advances, Servicing Advances
and paying
96
<PAGE> 98
Compensating Interest; provided, however, that the Trustee will not be obligated
to act as successor servicer if it is legally unable to perform its duties
hereunder.
(e) Upon removal or resignation of the Master Servicer, the
Master Servicer also shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to a
successor servicer or the Trustee all the books and records (including, without
limitation, records kept in electronic form) that the Master Servicer has
maintained for the Mortgage Loans, including all tax bills, assessment notices,
insurance premium notices and all other documents as well as all original
documents then in the Master Servicer's possession.
(f) Any collections received by the Master Servicer after
removal or resignation shall be endorsed by it to the Trustee and remitted
directly and immediately to the Trustee or the successor Master Servicer.
(g) Upon removal or resignation of the Master Servicer, the
Trustee (x) may solicit bids for a successor servicer as described below, and
(y) pending the appointment of a successor Master Servicer as a result of
soliciting such bids, shall serve as Master Servicer. The Trustee shall, if it
is unable to obtain a qualifying bid and is prevented by law from acting as
Master Servicer, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, any housing and home finance institution, bank or mortgage servicing
institution which has shareholders' equity of not less than $10,000,000, as
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
acceptable to the Certificate Insurer 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. The compensation of any
successor servicer (including, without limitation, the Trustee) so appointed
shall be the aggregate Servicing Fees, together with the other servicing
compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges or otherwise
as provided in Sections 8.8 and 8.15; provided, however, that if the Trustee
acts as successor Master Servicer then the Sponsor agrees to pay to the Trustee
at such time that the Trustee becomes such successor Master Servicer a fee of
twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each Mortgage Loan then included in the Trust
Estate. The Trustee shall be obligated to serve as successor Master Servicer
whether or not the $25.00 fee described in the preceding sentence is paid by the
Sponsor, but shall in any event be entitled to receive, and to enforce payment
of, such fee from the Sponsor.
(h) In the event the Trustee solicits bids as provided above,
the Trustee shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing and home
finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the
qualifications set forth above. Such public announcement shall specify that the
successor Master Servicer shall be entitled to the compensation set forth in
clause (g) above. Within thirty days after any such public announcement, the
Trustee shall negotiate and effect the sale, transfer and assignment of the
servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder to the qualified party
submitting the highest satisfactory bid. The Trustee shall deduct from any sum
received by the Trustee from the successor to the Master Servicer in respect of
such sale, transfer and assignment all costs and expenses of any public
announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights
and responsibilities hereunder. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum
shall be paid by the Trustee to the Master Servicer at the time of such sale,
transfer and assignment to the Master Servicer's successor.
(i) The Trustee 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 Trustee and any
successor Master Servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's
servicing responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall
97
<PAGE> 99
promptly provide the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer, as applicable,
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
Trustee or such successor Master Servicer, as applicable, all amounts which then
have been or should have been deposited in the Principal and Interest Account by
the Master Servicer or which are thereafter received with respect to the
Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor Master Servicer
shall be held liable 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 or (iii) any breaches of a predecessor
Master Servicer.
(j) The Trustee or any other successor Master Servicer, upon
assuming the duties of Master Servicer hereunder, shall immediately make all
Delinquency Advances and pay all Compensating Interest which the Master Servicer
has theretofore failed to remit with respect to the Mortgage Loans; provided,
however, that if the Trustee is acting as successor Master Servicer, the Trustee
shall only be required to make Delinquency Advances (including the Delinquency
Advances required to be made by the predecessor Master Servicer but not so
deposited) if, in the Trustee's reasonable good faith judgment, such Delinquency
Advances will ultimately be recoverable from the related Mortgage Loans.
(k) The Master Servicer which is being removed or is resigning
shall give notice to the Mortgagors and to each Rating Agency of the transfer of
the servicing to the successor.
(l) The Trustee shall give notice to the Certificate Insurer,
each Rating Agency and to the Owners of the occurrence of any event specified in
Section 8.20(a) of which the Trustee has knowledge.
(m) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon
termination of the Master Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of the Master
Servicer which accrued prior to such termination shall survive such termination.
SECTION 8.21. INSPECTIONS BY THE CERTIFICATE INSURER AND THE
TRUSTEE; ERRORS AND OMISSIONS INSURANCE.
(a) At any reasonable time during business hours and from time
to time upon five Business Days' reasonable notice, the Certificate Insurer, the
Trustee, or any agents or representatives thereof may inspect the Master
Servicer's servicing operations and discuss the servicing operations of the
Master Servicer with any of its officers or directors. The reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in connection with any such
examinations or discussions shall be paid by the Master Servicer.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to maintain errors and
omissions coverage and a fidelity bond, each at least to the extent generally
maintained by prudent mortgage loan servicers having servicing portfolios of a
similar size.
SECTION 8.22. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION
TO BUSINESS OF MASTER SERVICER. Any corporation into which the Master Servicer
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
Master Servicer shall be a party, or any corporation
98
<PAGE> 100
succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the Master Servicer,
shall be the successor of the Master Servicer hereunder upon notice to the
Certificate Insurer, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto provided that such corporation is a
housing and home finance institution, bank or mortgage servicing institution
which has shareholders' equity of not less than $10,000,000, as determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
SECTION 8.23. NOTICES OF MATERIAL EVENTS. The Master Servicer
shall give prompt notice to the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee, and each
Rating Agency of the occurrence of any of the following events:
(a) Any default or any fact or event which results, or which
with notice or the passage of time, or both, would result in the occurrence of a
default by the Sponsor or the Master Servicer under any Transaction Document or
would constitute a material breach of a representation, warranty or covenant
under any Transaction Document which would have a material adverse effect on the
Owners or the Certificate Insurer;
(b) The submission of any claim or the initiation of any legal
process, litigation or administrative or judicial investigation against the
Sponsor, the Master Servicer or AMHC in any federal, state or local court or
before any governmental body or agency, or before any arbitration board, or any
such proceedings threatened by any governmental agency, which, if adversely
determined, would have a material adverse effect upon any the Sponsor's, the
Master Servicer's or AMHC's ability to perform its obligations under any
Transaction Document;
(c) The commencement of any proceedings by or against the
Sponsor, the Master Servicer or AMHC under any applicable bankruptcy,
reorganization, liquidation, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in
effect or of any proceeding in which a receiver, liquidator, trustee or other
similar official shall have been, or may be, appointed or requested for the
Sponsor, the Master Servicer or AMHC; and
(d) The receipt of notice from any agency or governmental body
having authority over the conduct of any of the Sponsor's the Master Servicer's
or the AMHC's business that the Sponsor, the Master Servicer or AMHC is to cease
and desist, or to undertake any practice, program, procedure or policy employed
by the Sponsor, the Master Servicer or AMHC in the conduct of the business of
any of them, and such cessation or undertaking will materially adversely affect
the conduct of the Sponsor's, the Master Servicer's or AMHC's business or its
ability to perform under the Transaction Documents or materially adversely
affect the financial affairs of the Sponsor, the Master Servicer or AMHC.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION OF TRUST
SECTION 9.1. TERMINATION OF TRUST. The Trust created hereunder
and all obligations created by this Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of
(i) the payment to the Owners of all Certificates from amounts other than those
available under the Certificate Insurance Policy of all amounts held by the
Trustee and required to be paid to such Owners pursuant to this Agreement upon
the later to occur of (a) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance
made with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust Estate or (b)
the disposition of all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Estate, (ii) at any
99
<PAGE> 101
time when a Qualified Liquidation of the REMIC Trust is effected as described
below or (iii) as described in Section 9.2 or 9.3 hereof. To effect a
termination of this Agreement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Owners of all
Certificates then Outstanding shall (x) unanimously direct the Trustee on behalf
of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to adopt a plan of complete
liquidation with respect to each of the Mortgage Loan Groups as contemplated by
Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code and (y) provide to the Trustee an opinion of
counsel experienced in federal income tax matters to the effect that such
liquidation constitutes a Qualified Liquidation, and the Trustee either shall
sell the Mortgage Loans and distribute the proceeds of the liquidation of the
Trust Estate, or shall distribute equitably in kind all of the assets of the
Trust Estate to the remaining Owners of the Certificates based on their
interests in the Trust, and distribute to the Certificate Insurer any amounts
owed under the Insurance Agreement and return the Certificate Insurance Policy
to the Certificate Insurer, each in accordance with such plan, so that the
liquidation or distribution of the Trust Estate, the distribution of any
proceeds of the liquidation and the termination of this Agreement occur no later
than the close of the 90th day after the date of adoption of the plan of
liquidation and such liquidation qualifies as a Qualified Liquidation. In no
event, however, will the Trust created by this Agreement continue beyond the
expiration of twenty-one (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 United Kingdom, living on the date hereof. The Trustee shall give written
notice of termination of the Agreement to each Owner in the manner set forth in
Section 11.5.
SECTION 9.2. CLEAN-UP CALL TERMINATION.
(a) On any Remittance Date on or after the Initial Clean-Up
Call Date, either the Master Servicer or any Master Servicer Affiliate (the
Master Servicer or any Master Servicer Affiliate, the "Redeeming Party") may
determine to purchase and may cause the purchase from the Trust of all (but not
fewer than all) Mortgage Loans in the Trust Estate and all property theretofore
acquired in respect of any such Mortgage Loan by foreclosure, deed in lieu of
foreclosure, or otherwise then remaining in the Trust Estate at a price equal to
the sum of (v) the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate Loan Balances of all of
the Mortgage Loans as of the day of purchase minus the amount actually remitted
by the Master Servicer representing the related Monthly Principal Remittance
Amount on such Remittance Date for the related Remittance Period and (ii) the
fair market value of such Mortgage Loans (disregarding accrued interest), (w) if
the Master Servicer is the Redeeming Party, the amount of any difference between
the related Monthly Interest Remittance Amount actually remitted by the Master
Servicer on such Remittance Date and the related Monthly Interest Remittance
Amount due on such Remittance Date, (x) the related Reimbursement Amount, if
any, and (y) if the Master Servicer is the Redeeming Party, the aggregate amount
of any Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances remaining unreimbursed,
together with any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees, as of such Remittance Date
(such amount, the "Termination Price"). In connection with such purchase, the
Redeeming Party shall remit to the Trustee all amounts then on deposit in the
Principal and Interest Account for deposit to the Certificate Account, which
deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such purchase.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Redeeming Party may not terminate the Trust
pursuant to this Section 9.2 without the consent of the Certificate Insurer, if
termination would result in a draw on the Certificate Insurance Policy.
(b) In connection with any such purchase, the Redeeming Party
shall provide to the Trustee an opinion of counsel experienced in federal income
tax matters to the effect that such purchase constitutes a Qualified Liquidation
of the Lower-Tier REMIC and Upper-Tier REMIC.
100
<PAGE> 102
(c) Promptly following any such purchase, the Trustee will
release the Files to the Redeeming Party, or otherwise upon their order, in a
manner similar to that described in Section 8.14 hereof.
(d) Upon such purchase, the Certificate Insurance Policy will
terminate and shall be returned to the Certificate Insurer.
SECTION 9.3. TERMINATION UPON LOSS OF REMIC STATUS.
(a) Following a (x) final determination by the Internal
Revenue Service, or by a court of competent jurisdiction, in either case from
which no appeal is taken within the permitted time for such appeal, or (y) if
any appeal is taken, following a final determination of such appeal from which
no further appeal can be taken, to the effect that either the Upper-Tier REMIC
or Lower-Tier REMIC do not and will no longer qualify as a "REMIC" pursuant to
Section 860D of the Code (the "Final Determination") or (z) following the
delivery of an opinion of counsel ("REMIC Opinion") to the effect that the
effect of the Final Determination is to increase substantially the probability
that either the Upper-Tier REMIC or Lower-Tier REMIC will no longer qualify as a
"REMIC" pursuant to Section 860D of the Code, on any Remittance Date on or after
the date which is 30 calendar days following such Final Determination, the
Certificate Insurer, or if Certificate Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Owners of a majority in Percentage Interest represented by the
Class A Certificates then Outstanding may direct the Trustee to adopt a plan of
complete liquidation with respect to the Trust Estate. In connection with such
liquidation, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Trustee all amounts then on
deposit in the Principal and Interest Account for deposit in the Certificate
Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately preceding
such liquidation.
(b) Upon receipt of such direction from the Certificate
Insurer or the Owners of such Class A Certificates, as applicable, the Trustee
shall notify the Master Servicer and holders of the Class R Certificates of such
election to liquidate or such determination to purchase, as the case may be,
(the "Termination Notice"). The Master Servicer or Owner of a majority of the
Percentage Interest of the Class R Certificates then Outstanding acting directly
or through one or more of their affiliates may, on any Remittance Date, within
60 days from the date of receipt of the Termination Notice (the "Purchase Option
Period"), at their option, purchase from the Trust all (but not fewer than all)
Mortgage Loans in the Trust Estate, and all property theretofore acquired by
foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise in respect of any
Mortgage Loan then remaining in the Trust Estate at a purchase price equal to
the Termination Price.
(c) If, during the Purchase Option Period, the Master Servicer
or the Owners of the Class R Certificates have not exercised the option
described in the immediately preceding paragraph, then upon the expiration of
the Purchase Option Period in the event that the Owners of the Class A
Certificates have given the Trustee the direction described in clause (a)(i)
above, the Trustee shall (with the prior consent of the Certificate Insurer, so
long as no Certificate Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing) sell the
Mortgage Loans and distribute the proceeds of the liquidation of the Trust
Estate, such that, if so directed, the liquidation of the Trust Estate, the
distribution of the proceeds of such liquidation occur no later than the close
of the 60th day, or such later day as the Owner of a majority of the Percentage
Interest of the Class A Certificates shall permit or direct in writing, after
the expiration of the Purchase Option Period.
(d) Following a Final Determination, the Owners of a majority
of the Percentage Interest of the Class R Certificates then Outstanding may, at
their option on any
101
<PAGE> 103
Remittance Date and upon delivery to the Owners of the Class A Certificates and
the Trustee of an opinion of counsel experienced in federal income tax matters
selected by the Owners of a majority of the Percentage Interest of such Class R
Certificates which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to a majority of the Percentage Interests represented by the Class A
Certificates then Outstanding and the Trustee, to the effect that the effect of
the Final Determination is to increase substantially the probability that the
gross income of either the Upper-Tier REMIC or Lower-Tier REMIC will be subject
to federal taxation, purchase from the Trust all (but not fewer than all)
Mortgage Loans in the Trust Estate, and all property theretofore acquired by
foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise in respect of any
Mortgage Loan then remaining in the Trust Estate at a purchase price equal to
the Termination Price. In connection with such purchase, the Master Servicer
shall remit to the Trustee all amounts then on deposit in the Principal and
Interest Account for deposit to the Certificate Account, which deposit shall be
deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such purchase. The foregoing
opinion shall be deemed satisfactory unless the Owners of a majority of the
Percentage Interest represented by the Class A Certificates then Outstanding or
the Trustee give the Owners of a majority of the Percentage Interest of the
Class R Certificates notice that such opinion is not satisfactory within thirty
days after receipt of such opinion.
SECTION 9.4. DISPOSITION OF PROCEEDS. The Trustee shall, upon
receipt thereof, deposit the proceeds of any liquidation of the Trust Estate
pursuant to this Article IX to the Certificate Account; provided, however, that
any amounts representing Servicing Fees, unreimbursed Delinquency Advances or
unreimbursed Servicing Advances theretofore funded by the Master Servicer from
the Master Servicer's own funds shall be paid by the Trustee to the Master
Servicer.
SECTION 9.5. NETTING OF AMOUNTS. If any Person paying the
Termination Price would receive a portion of the amount so paid, such Person may
net any such amount against the Termination Price otherwise payable.

Standard & Poor's). If such Trustee 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. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall, upon the request of
the Sponsor (with the consent of the Certificate Insurer) (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld) or of the Certificate Insurer, resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article X.
SECTION 10.9. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF
SUCCESSOR.
(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no
appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to this Article X shall become
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee under
Section 10.10 hereof.
(b) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter
appointed, may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the
Sponsor and by mailing notice of resignation by first-class Mail, postage
prepaid, to the Certificate Insurer and the Owners at their
106
<PAGE> 108
addresses appearing on the Register. A copy of such notice shall be sent by the
resigning Trustee to each Rating Agency. Upon receiving notice of resignation,
the Sponsor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees by written
instrument, in duplicate, executed on behalf of the Trust by an Authorized
Officer of the Sponsor, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
Trustee so resigning and one copy to the successor trustee or trustees. 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
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor trustee, or any Owner may, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor
trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem
proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.
(c) If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible
under Section 10.8 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Sponsor or by the Certificate Insurer, the Certificate Insurer
or the Sponsor (with the written consent of the Certificate Insurer) may remove
the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate,
executed on behalf of the Trust by an Authorized Officer of the Sponsor, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one
copy to the successor trustee.
(d) The Owners of a majority of the Percentage Interests
represented by the Class A Certificates, or, if there are no Class A
Certificates then Outstanding, by such majority of the Percentage Interests
represented by Class R Certificates then Outstanding may at any time, with the
prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer, remove the Trustee and appoint
a successor trustee by delivering to the Trustee to be removed, to the successor
trustee so appointed, to the Sponsor and to the Certificate Insurer, copies of
the record of the act taken by the Owners, as provided for in Section 11.3
hereof.
(e) If the Trustee fails to perform its duties in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement or becomes ineligible to serve as Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer or, if the last sentence of Section 11.18 hereof is
applicable, the Sponsor may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee
by written instrument, in triplicate, signed by the Certificate Insurer and the
Sponsor duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be
delivered to the Sponsor, one complete set to the Certificate Insurer, one
complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor
Trustee so appointed.
(f) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee
for any cause, the Sponsor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee acceptable
to the Certificate Insurer. If within one year after such resignation, removal
or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be
appointed by act of the Owners of a majority of the Percentage Interests
represented by the Class A Certificates then Outstanding or, if there are no
Class A Certificates then Outstanding, by such majority of the Percentage
Interest of the Class R Certificates delivered to the Sponsor and the retiring
Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall forthwith upon its acceptance
of such appointment become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor
Trustee appointed by the Sponsor. If no successor Trustee shall have been so
appointed by the Sponsor or the Owners and shall have accepted appointment in
the manner hereinafter provided, any Owner may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice,
if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee.
107
<PAGE> 109
(g) The Sponsor shall give notice of any removal of the
Trustee by mailing notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to
the Certificate Insurer and to the Owners as their names and addresses appear in
the Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and
the address of its corporate trust office.
SECTION 10.10. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE.
Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Sponsor on behalf of the Trust and to its predecessor Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and stating its eligibility to
serve as Trustee hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder; but, on
request of the Sponsor or the successor Trustee, such predecessor Trustee shall,
upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor Trustee all of the rights, powers and trusts of
the Trustee so ceasing to act, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to
such successor Trustee all property and money held by such Trustee so ceasing to
act hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Sponsor on behalf
of the Trust shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and
trusts.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as
provided in this Section, the Sponsor shall mail notice thereof by first-class
mail, postage prepaid, to the Owners at their last addresses appearing upon the
Register. The Sponsor shall send a copy of such notice to each of the Rating
Agencies and the Certificate Insurer. If the Sponsor fails to mail such notice
within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the
successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Trust.
No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at
the time of such acceptance such successor shall be qualified and eligible under
this Article X.
SECTION 10.11. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION
TO BUSINESS OF THE TRUSTEE. Any corporation or association into which the
Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or
association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto; provided, however, that such corporation or
association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article X. In
case any Certificates have been executed, but not delivered, by the Trustee then
in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such Trustee
may adopt such execution and deliver the Certificates so executed with the same
effect as if such successor Trustee had itself executed such Certificates.
SECTION 10.12. REPORTING; WITHHOLDING. With respect to each of
the REMIC Trusts and the Non-REMIC Estate, the Trustee shall timely provide to
the Owners (or other Persons entitled thereto) the Internal Revenue Service's
Form 1099 and any other statement required by applicable Treasury regulations or
analogous provisions of state or local law as determined by the Sponsor, and
shall withhold, as required by applicable law, federal, state or local taxes, if
any, applicable to distributions to the Owners, including, but not limited to,
backup withholding under Section 3406 of the Code, the withholding tax on
distributions to foreign investors under Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code and
beginning after December 31, 2000,
108
<PAGE> 110
shall report as effectively connected income distributions with respect to
Supplemental Interest Rights held by foreign holders if such holders have not
provided certification that such distributions are not effectively connected
income.
SECTION 10.13. LIABILITY OF THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall be
liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
imposed upon and undertaken by the Trustee herein. Neither the Trustee nor any
of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Trustee shall be under
any liability on any Certificate or otherwise to any Account, the Sponsor, the
Master Servicer or any Owner 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 the Trustee
or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by
reason of negligent action, negligent failure to act or bad faith in the
performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Trustee shall not be
liable for losses on investments of amounts in any Account (except for any
losses on obligations on which the bank serving as Trustee is the obligor and is
otherwise liable). In addition, the Sponsor and Master Servicer covenant and
agree to indemnify the Trustee, and its officers, directors, employees and
agents, including, without limitation, when the Trustee is acting as Master
Servicer, and hold it harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities,
damages, claims or expenses (including legal fees and expenses) other than those
resulting from the negligence or bad faith of the Trustee. The indemnification
provided in this Section 10.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
or the resignation or removal of the Trustee hereunder. The Trustee and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee may rely and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith on any certificate,
notice or other document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted
by the Authorized Officer of any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder.
SECTION 10.14. APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE TRUSTEE.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Estate or Property may at the time be located, the Master Servicer
and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and
deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee
and the Certificate Insurer to act as co-Trustee or co-Trustees, jointly with
the Trustee, of all or any part of the Trust Estate or separate Trustee or
separate Trustees of any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or
Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Owners, such title to the
Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 10.14, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master
Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the
receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case any event indicated in
Sections 8.20(a) or 8.20(b) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee
alone shall have the power to make such appointment with the consent of the
Certificate Insurer. No co-Trustee or separate Trustee hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section
10.8 and no notice to Owner of the appointment of any co-Trustee or separate
Trustee shall be required under Section 10.8.
Every separate Trustee and co-Trustee shall, to the extent
permitted, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate Trustee or
co-Trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate
109
<PAGE> 111
Trustee or co-Trustee is not authorized to act separately without the
Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law
of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be
performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master
Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties
and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Estate or
any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed singly by such separate Trustee or co-Trustee, but solely at
the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) No co-Trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable
by reason of any act or omission of any other co-Trustee hereunder; and
(iii) The Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly may
at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate Trustee or
co-Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate Trustees and
co-Trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate Trustee or co-Trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Section 10.14. Each separate Trustee and co-Trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions
of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement
relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection
to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a
copy thereof given to the Master Servicer.
Any separate Trustee or co-Trustee may, at any time,
constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate Trustee
or co-Trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor Trustee.
The Trustee shall give to the Rating Agencies, the Sponsor and
the Certificate Insurer notice of the appointment of any Co-Trustee or separate
Trustee.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 11.1. COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATES AND OPINIONS. Upon any
application or request by the Sponsor, the Certificate Insurer or the Owners to
the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Agreement, the
Sponsor, the Certificate Insurer or the Owners, as the case may be, shall
furnish to the Trustee a certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if
applicable, provided for in this Agreement relating to the proposed action have
been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or request
as to which the furnishing of any documents is specifically required by any
provision of this Agreement relating to such particular application or request,
no additional certificate need be furnished.
110
<PAGE> 112
SECTION 11.2. FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE. In
any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an
opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be
certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or only one
document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to
some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any
such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several
documents.
Any certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Trustee may be
based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon an opinion of counsel,
unless such Authorized Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care
should know, that the opinion is erroneous. Any such certificate of an
Authorized Officer of the Trustee or any opinion of counsel may be based,
insofar as it relates to factual matter upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, one or more Authorized Officers of the Sponsor or of the
Master Servicer, stating that the information with respect to such factual
matters is in the possession of the Sponsor or of the Master Servicer, unless
such Authorized Officer or counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care
should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to
such matters are erroneous. Any opinion of counsel may also be based, insofar as
it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, an Authorized Officer of the Trustee, stating that the
information with respect to such matters is in the possession of the Trustee,
unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know,
that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters
are erroneous. Any opinion of counsel may be based on the written opinion of
other counsel, in which event such opinion of counsel shall be accompanied by a
copy of such other counsel's opinion and shall include a statement to the effect
that such counsel believes that such counsel and the Trustee may reasonably rely
upon the opinion of such other counsel.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or
more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or
other instruments under this Agreement, they may, but need not, be consolidated
and form one instrument.
SECTION 11.3. ACTS OF OWNERS.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken
by the Owners may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Owners in person or by an agent duly
appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered
to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Sponsor
and/or the Certificate Insurer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
"act" of the Owners signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution
of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be
sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the
Trustee and the Trust, if made in the manner provided in this Section.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any
such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized
by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever
such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on
behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall
also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.
111
<PAGE> 113
(c) The ownership of Certificates shall be proved by the
Register.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action by the Owner of any Certificate shall bind the
Owner of every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or
in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or
suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Trust in reliance thereon, whether or
not notation of such action is made upon such Certificates.
SECTION 11.4. NOTICES, ETC., TO TRUSTEE. Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or act of the Owners or other
documents provided or permitted by this Agreement to be made upon, given or
furnished to, or filed with the Trustee by any Owner, the Certificate Insurer or
by the Sponsor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given,
furnished or filed in writing to and received by the Trustee at its corporate
trust office as set forth in Section 2.2 hereof.
SECTION 11.5. NOTICES AND REPORTS TO OWNERS; WAIVER OF
NOTICES. Where this Agreement provides for notice to Owners of any event or the
mailing of any report to Owners, such notice or report shall be sufficiently
given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if mailed, first-class
postage prepaid, to each Owner affected by such event or to whom such report is
required to be mailed, at the address of such Owner as it appears on the
Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest
date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or the mailing of such report. In
any case where a notice or report to Owners is mailed in the manner provided
above, neither the failure to mail such notice or report nor any defect in any
notice or report so mailed to any particular Owner shall affect the sufficiency
of such notice or report with respect to other Owners, and any notice or report
which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to
have been duly given or provided.
Where this Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such
notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice,
either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of
such notice. Waivers of notice by Owners shall be filed with the Trustee, but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action
taken in reliance upon such waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service
as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be
impractical to mail notice of any event to Owners when such notice is required
to be given pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, then any manner of
giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be
a sufficient giving of such notice.
Where this Agreement provides for notice to any rating agency
that rated any Certificates, failure to give such notice shall not affect any
other rights or obligations created hereunder.
SECTION 11.6. RULES BY TRUSTEE AND SPONSOR. The Trustee may
make reasonable rules for any meeting of Owners. The Sponsor may make reasonable
rules and set reasonable requirements for its functions.
SECTION 11.7. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants and
agreements in this Agreement by any party hereto shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not.
112
<PAGE> 114
SECTION 11.8. SEVERABILITY. In case any provision in this
Agreement or in the Certificates shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 11.9. BENEFITS OF AGREEMENT. Nothing in this Agreement
or in the Certificates, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other
than the Owners, the Certificate Insurer and the parties hereto and their
successors hereunder, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under this Agreement.
SECTION 11.10. LEGAL HOLIDAYS. In any case where the date of
any Payment Date, any other date on which any distribution to any Owner is
proposed to be paid, or any date on which a notice is required to be sent to any
Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be a Business Day, then
(notwithstanding any other provision of the Certificates or this Agreement)
payment or mailing need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made or mailed on
the nominal date of any such Payment Date, or such other date for the payment of
any distribution to any Owner or the mailing of such notice, as the case may be,
and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after any
such nominal date, provided such payment is made in full on such next succeeding
Business Day.
SECTION 11.11. GOVERNING LAW. In view of the fact that Owners
are expected to reside in many states and outside the United States and the
desire to establish with certainty that this Agreement will be governed by and
construed and interpreted in accordance with the law of a state having a
well-developed body of commercial and financial law relevant to transactions of
the type contemplated herein, this Agreement and each Certificate shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York
applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein.
SECTION 11.12. COUNTERPARTS. This instrument may be executed
in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be
an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.
SECTION 11.13. USURY. The amount of interest payable or paid
on any Certificate under the terms of this Agreement shall be limited to an
amount which shall not exceed the maximum nonusurious rate of interest allowed
by the applicable laws of the State of New York or any applicable law of the
United States permitting a higher maximum nonusurious rate that preempts such
applicable New York laws, which could lawfully be contracted for, charged or
received (the "Highest Lawful Rate"). In the event any payment of interest on
any Certificate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Trust stipulates that such
excess amount will be deemed to have been paid to the Owner of such Certificate
as a result of an error on the part of the Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust
and the Owner receiving such excess payment shall promptly, upon discovery of
such error or upon notice thereof from the Trustee on behalf of the Trust,
refund the amount of such excess or, at the option of such Owner, apply the
excess to the payment of principal of such Certificate, if any, remaining
unpaid. In addition, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Trustee for the
benefit of Owners of Certificates for the use, forbearance or detention of money
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated,
allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Certificates.
113
<PAGE> 115
SECTION 11.14. AMENDMENT.
(a) The Trustee, the Sponsor and the Master Servicer, may at
any time and from time to time, with the prior written consent of the
Certificate Insurer but without the giving of notice to or the receipt of the
consent of the Owners, amend this Agreement, and the Trustee shall consent to
such amendment, for the purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity, or correcting or
supplementing any provision hereof which may be inconsistent with any other
provision hereof or of the Transaction Documents, or to add provisions hereto
which are not inconsistent with the provisions hereof, (ii) upon receipt of an
opinion of counsel experienced in federal income tax matters to the effect that
no entity-level tax will be imposed on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier
REMIC or upon the transferor of a Class R or Class RL Certificate as a result of
the ownership of any Class R or Class RL Certificate by a Disqualified
Organization, removing the restriction on transfer set forth in Section 5.8(b)
hereof or (iii) complying with the requirements of the Code and the regulations
proposed or promulgated thereunder; provided, however, that any such action
shall not, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel delivered to the Trustee,
materially and adversely affect the interests of any Owner (without its written
consent).
(b) The Trustee, the Sponsor and the Master Servicer may, at
any time and from time to time, with the prior written consent of the
Certificate Insurer but without the giving of notice to or the receipt of the
consent of the Owners, amend this Agreement, and the Trustee shall consent to
such amendment, for the purpose of changing the definitions of "Group I
Specified Overcollateralization Amount," and "Group II Specified
Overcollateralization Amount"; provided, however, that no such change shall
affect the weighted average life of the related Class of Class A Certificates
(assuming an appropriate prepayment speed as determined by the Representative)
by more than five percent, as determined by the Representative.
(c) This Agreement may also be amended by the Trustee, the
Sponsor, and the Master Servicer at any time and from time to time, with the
prior written approval of the Certificate Insurer and not less than a majority
of the Percentage Interest represented by each affected Class of Certificates
then Outstanding, for the purpose of adding any provisions or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in
any manner the rights of the Owners hereunder; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall (a) change in any manner the amount of, or change the timing of,
payments which are required to be distributed to any Owner without the consent
of the Owner of such Certificate, (b) change or reduce the aforesaid percentages
of Percentage Interests which are required to consent to any such amendments or
(c) result in a down-rating or withdrawal of any ratings then assigned to the
Class A Certificates, without the consent of the Owners of all Certificates of
the Class or Classes affected then Outstanding.
(d) Each proposed amendment to this Agreement shall be
accompanied by an opinion of counsel nationally recognized in federal income tax
matters addressed to the Trustee and to the Certificate Insurer to the effect
that such amendment would not adversely affect the status of either the
Upper-Tier REMIC or Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC. Neither such opinion of counsel
nor any expense of any such proposed amendment shall be at the Trustee's
expense.
(e) The Certificate Insurer, the Owners and each Rating Agency
shall be provided with copies of any amendments to this Agreement, together with
copies of any opinions or other documents or instruments executed in connection
therewith.

<PAGE> 116
SECTION 11.15. REMIC STATUS; TAXES.
(a) The Tax Matters Person shall prepare and file or cause to
be filed with the Internal Revenue Service federal tax or information returns
with respect to the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC and the Certificates
containing such information and at the times and in such manner as may be
required by the Code or applicable Treasury regulations, and shall furnish to
Owners such statements or information at the times and in such manner as may be
required thereby. For this purpose, the Tax Matters Person may, but need not,
rely on any proposed regulations of the United States Department of the
Treasury. The Tax Matters Person shall indicate the election to treat each of
the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC (which election shall apply
to the taxable period ending December 31, 1999 and each calendar year
thereafter) in such manner as the Code or applicable Treasury regulations may
prescribe. The Trustee, as Tax Matters Person appointed pursuant to Section
11.17 hereof shall sign all tax information returns filed pursuant to this
Section 11.15. The Tax Matters Person shall provide information necessary for
the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Class R or Class RL
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, or an agent of a Disqualified
Organization, or a pass-through entity in which a Disqualified Organization is
the record holder of an interest. The Tax Matters Person shall provide the
Trustee with copies of any Federal tax or information returns filed, or caused
to be filed, by the Tax Matters Person with respect to the REMIC Trust or the
Certificates.
(b) The Tax Matters Person shall timely file all reports
required to be filed by the Trust with any federal, state or local governmental
authority having jurisdiction over the Trust, including other reports that must
be filed with the Owners, such as the Internal Revenue Service's Form 1066 and
Schedule Q and the form required under Section 6050K of the Code, if applicable
to REMICs. The Trustee shall be liable to the Master Servicer and the Sponsor
for any penalties or interest as a result of its negligence with respect to such
filings. Furthermore, the Tax Matters Person shall report to Owners, if
required, with respect to the allocation of expenses pursuant to Section 212 of
the Code in accordance with the specific instructions to the Tax Matters Person
by the Sponsor with respect to such allocation of expenses. The Tax Matters
Person shall collect any forms or reports from the Owners determined by the
Sponsor to be required under applicable federal, state and local tax laws. The
Trustee shall provide copies of all filings to the Master Servicer within 15
days of the required date of such filing. In addition, the Trustee agrees not to
file more than one extension per required filing without prior consultation
with, and the consent of, the Master Servicer. Further, the Trustee shall
provide to the Sponsor and the Master Servicer access to any documentation
regarding its tax reporting duties hereunder as well as providing access to the
Trustee's officers and personnel in order to discuss the methodology and
preparation of any filings or returns hereunder. Such access shall be provided
to the Master Servicer and the Sponsor without cost or charge.
(c) The Tax Matters Person shall provide to the Internal
Revenue Service and to persons described in Section 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the
Code the information described in Treasury Regulation Section
1.860D-1(b)(5)(ii), or any successor regulation thereto. Such information will

reimburse the Trustee for the payment of such tax (to the extent that the
Trustee has not been previously reimbursed or indemnified therefor).

right of reimbursement, any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of the
Trust Estate (including, but not limited to, any professional fees or any
administrative or judicial proceedings with respect thereto that involves the

such audit resulted solely from the negligence of the Master Servicer or the
Sponsor, as the case may be, the Master Servicer or Sponsor shall pay such
expenses. The Trustee shall act on behalf of the Trust Estate in any
administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any
governmental taxing authority with respect thereto.
(d) On or before April 15 of each calendar year, commencing

from a Responsible Officer of the Trustee stating the Trustee's compliance with
its tax reporting duties set forth in this Agreement.

Master Servicer and the Sponsor for any taxes and costs, including, without
limitation, any penalties, interest, professional fees and attorneys' fees
imposed on or incurred by the Trust Estate, the Master Servicer or the Sponsor,
as a result of a breach of the Trustee's covenants set forth in this Agreement
or as a result of the Trustee's negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.
SECTION 11.17. APPOINTMENT OF TAX MATTERS PERSON. The Owner of
the Class R Certificate shall act as the Tax Matters Person for the Upper-Tier
REMIC and the Owner of the Class RL Certificate shall act as the Tax Matters
Person for the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Owners of the Class R and Class RL

Person for each REMIC under the Code.
SECTION 11.18. THE CERTIFICATE INSURER. The Certificate

AMBAC ASSURANCE CORPORATION (AMBAC) A Wisconsin Stock Insurance Company in
consideration of the payment of the premium and subject to the terms of this
Policy, hereby agrees unconditionally and irrevocably to pay to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Holders of the Insured Obligations, that portion of the
Insured Amounts which shall become Due for Payment but shall be unpaid by reason
of Nonpayment.
Ambac will make such payments to the Trustee from its own funds on the later of
(a) one (1) Business Day following notification to Ambac of Nonpayment or (b)
the Business Day on which the Insured Amounts are Due for Payment. Such payments
of principal or interest shall be made only upon presentation of an instrument
of assignment in form and substance satisfactory to Ambac, transferring to Ambac
all rights under such Insured Obligations to receive the principal of and
interest on the Insured Obligation. Ambac shall be subrogated to all the
Holders' rights to payment on the Insured Obligations to the extent of the
insurance disbursements so made. Once payments of the Insured Amounts have been
made to the Trustee, Ambac shall have no further obligation hereunder in respect
of such Insured Amounts.
In the event the Trustee for the Insured Obligations has notice that any payment
of principal or interest on an Insured Obligation which has become Due for
Payment and which is made to a Holder by or on behalf of the Trustee has been
deemed a preferential transfer and theretofore recovered from its Holder
pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code in accordance with a final,
nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, such Holder will be
entitled to payment from Ambac to the extent of such recovery if sufficient
funds are not otherwise available.
This Policy is noncancelable by Ambac for any reason, including failure to
receive payment of any premium due hereunder. The premium on this Policy is not
refundable for any reason. This Policy does not insure against loss of any
prepayment or other acceleration payment which at any time may become due in
respect of any Insured Obligation, other than at the sole option of Ambac, nor
against any risk other than Nonpayment, including failure of the Trustee to make
any payment due Holders of Insured Amounts.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Ambac hereby waives and
agrees not to assert any and all rights and defenses, to the extent such rights
and defenses may be available to Ambac, to avoid payment of its obligations
under this Policy in accordance with the express provisions hereof.
Any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given such terms
in the endorsement attached hereto or in the Agreement.
In witness whereof, Ambac has caused this Policy to be affixed with its
corporate seal and to be signed by its duly authorized officers in facsimile to
become effective as their original signatures and binding upon Ambac by virtue
of the countersignature of its duly authorized representative.

is no valid and enforceable right of rescission offset, defense or

terms of the Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right
thereunder, render either the Note or the Mortgage unenforceable in

valid first, second or third mortgage lien of record on the real
Mortgaged Property described in the related Mortgage, as the case may
be, subject only to exceptions of the character referred to in

covered by a valid and existing hazard insurance policy (which may be a
blanket policy of the type described in the Advanta Pooling Agreement)
with a generally acceptable carrier that provides for fire and extended

outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (together,
in the case of a Junior Mortgage Loan, with the outstanding principal
balance of the Senior Lien), (B) the minimum amount required to

the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration with a generally acceptable carrier is in effect with
respect to such Mortgaged Property in an amount representing coverage,
and which provides for a recovery by the Master Servicer of insurance
proceeds relating to such Mortgage Loan of not less than the least of

enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles of
equity (whether considered in a proceeding or action in equity or at
law), and all parties to each Mortgage Loan had full legal capacity to
execute all documents relating to such Mortgage Loan and convey the
estate therein purported to be conveyed;
(xvii) Each Affiliated Originator has caused and will cause to
be performed any and all acts required to be performed to preserve the
rights and remedies of the Master Servicer in any Mortgage Insurance
Policy applicable to any Mortgage Loan delivered by such Affiliated
Originator or Warehouse Trust including, to the extent such Mortgage

(xix) The terms of each Note and each Mortgage have not been
impaired, altered or modified in any respect, except by a written
instrument which has been recorded, if necessary, to protect the
interest of the owners and which has been delivered to the Trustee. The
substance of any such alteration or modification is reflected on the
related Schedule of Mortgage Loans and has been approved by the primary
mortgage guaranty insurer, if any;
(xx) The proceeds of each Mortgage Loan have been fully
disbursed, and there is no obligation on the part of the mortgagee to

identified in the Schedule of Mortgage Loans and consists of one or
more parcels of real Mortgaged Property with a residential dwelling
erected thereon;
(xxv) Each Mortgage contains a provision for the acceleration
of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage
Loan in the event the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the
prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder, except as may be otherwise
provided in the Advanta Pooling Agreement;

Mortgage Loan but prior to the Cut-Off Date, have been consolidated
with the outstanding principal amount secured by the related Mortgage,
and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single

Mortgage Loans. No Note permits or obligates the Master Servicer, the
Sub-Servicer or the Sponsor to make future advances to the related
Mortgagor at the option of the Mortgagor;
(xxvii) To the best knowledge of such Affiliated Originator,
there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial
condemnation of any Mortgaged Property, nor is such a proceeding

improvement located on or being part of any Mortgaged Property is in

certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been
made or obtained from the appropriate authorities and such Mortgaged
Property is lawfully occupied under the applicable law;
(xxx) With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of
trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such,
has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in
such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by
the Sponsor or the Advanta Trust to the
12
<PAGE> 16
trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's
sale after default by the related Mortgagor;

related Senior Lien prior to the making of such Mortgage Loan or (B)

addition to those made by the Mortgagor except as specified in the Advanta
Pooling Agreement.
The Representations and Warranties shall survive the transfer
and assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Advanta Trust. Upon discovery by any
Affiliated Originator or the Sponsor of a breach of any of the Representations

Re: Advanta Mortgage Loan Trust 1999-2 (the "Trust")
----------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Advanta National Bank, a
national banking association (the "Bank"), Advanta Mortgage Corp. Midatlantic,
Advanta Mortgage Corp. Midatlantic II, Advanta Mortgage Corp. Midwest, each of
which is a Pennsylvania corporation, Advanta Bank Corp. ("ABC"), a Utah
industrial loan corporation, Advanta Mortgage Corp. Northeast, a New York
corporation, Advanta Finance Corp., a Nevada corporation, Advanta Mortgage Corp.
USA, a Delaware corporation ("AMCUSA") (collectively, the "Affiliated
Originators"), Advanta Mortgage Conduit Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Conduit Services"), Advanta Mortgage Holding Company, a Delaware corporation
("AMHC") and Advanta Conduit Receivables Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Receivables") in connection with the execution and delivery of the following
documents:
(i) Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 1999
(the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among Conduit Services, as
Sponsor (the "Sponsor"), AMCUSA, as Master Servicer, and Bankers Trust
Company of California, N.A., a national banking association, as Trustee
(the "Trustee");
(ii) Underwriting Agreement, dated May 26, 1999 (the
"Underwriting Agreement"), between Conduit Services and Morgan Stanley
& Co., Incorporated as the Representative of the Underwriters, (the
"Representative");
(iii) Master Loan Transfer Agreement, dated as of May 1, 1999,
among the Sponsor, Receivables, the Affiliated Originators and the
Trustee, and the related Conveyance Agreement, dated as of June 3, 1999
among such parties (together, the "Transfer Agreement");
(iv) Two letter agreements executed and delivered by AMHC, one
of which is dated May 1, 1999 and is addressed to the Representative
and Ambac Assurance Corporation ("Ambac"), and one of which is dated
May 1, 1999 and is addressed to the Trust and Ambac, pursuant to which
AMHC acknowledges its joint-and-several liability with respect to
certain of Conduit Services', the Affiliated Originators' and AMCUSA's
obligations to the Underwriters, Ambac and the Trust (collectively, the
"AMHC Guaranties");
<PAGE> 3
(v) Insurance and Indemnity Agreement, dated as of June 3,
1999 (the "Insurance Agreement"), among Ambac, the Sponsor, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee;
(vi) Indemnification Agreement, dated as of May 26, 1999 (the
"Indemnity Agreement"), among Ambac and the Underwriters;
(vii) Forms of the Certificates; and
(viii) an assignment, dated June 3, 1999 (the "Warehouse Trust
Assignment") between Advanta Home Equity Loan Owner Trust 1998 MS-1
(the "Warehouse Trust") and Advanta Mortgage Loan Trust 1999-2.
Capitalized terms used herein, but not defined, shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
We have examined executed copies of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Underwriting Agreement, the Transfer Agreement, the Insurance
Agreement and the Indemnity Agreement, the Warehouse Trust Assignment and the
AMHC Guaranties (collectively, the "Documents"). We have also examined a copy of
each of the executed Certificates. We have also examined the Registration
Statement (No. 333-77927) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement), in the form in which
such Registration Statement was declared effective, the Prospectus dated May 6,
1999 (the "Prospectus"), the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement dated May 21,
1999 (the "Preliminary Prospectus Supplement") and the Prospectus Supplement
dated May 26, 1999 (the "Prospectus Supplement") relating to the Class A
Certificates.
We have also examined originals or photostatic or certified
copies of all such corporate records of Conduit Services, AMCUSA, the Affiliated
Originators, Receivables and AMHC and such certificates of public officials,
certificates of corporate officers, and other documents, and such questions of
law, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions
hereinafter expressed. As to certain issues of fact material to the opinions
expressed herein, we have, with your consent, relied to the extent we deemed
appropriate upon certificates and representations of officers of the Sponsor,
AMCUSA, the Affiliated Originators, Receivables and AMHC. In making our
examinations and rendering the opinions herein expressed, we have made the
following assumptions:
(1) each party to each of the Documents (other than Conduit
Services, AMCUSA, the Affiliated Originators, Receivables and
AMHC, as applicable) has the corporate power to enter into and
perform all of its obligations thereunder;
(2) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Documents
by all parties thereto other than Conduit Services, AMCUSA,
the Affiliated Originators, Receivables and AMHC and the
validity and binding effect on all parties other than Conduit
Services, AMCUSA, the Affiliated
2
<PAGE> 4
Originators, Receivables and AMHC of each of the Documents, as
applicable;
(3) the genuineness of all signatures;
(4) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals
and the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to
us as copies;
(5) the Advanta Mortgage Loan Trust 1999-2 created under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Trust") will qualify as
a real estate mortgage investment conduit ("REMIC") as defined
in Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code");
(6) the Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificates will
each constitute "regular interests" and the Class R
Certificates and Class RL Certificates will each constitute
the "residual interest" in a REMIC, as such terms are defined
in Section 860G(a) of the Code;
(7) as to Paragraph 22 below, we assume that the parties to the
Documents have and will perform their respective obligations
thereunder, including the delivery to the Trustee of Notes
relating to the Mortgage Loans following payment of legal and
sufficient consideration therefor, without any such Note
having been discharged, or the related Mortgage satisfied or
released and without the Trustee having actual or constructive
notice of the existence of any claim, lien, charge, mortgage,
security interest, encumbrance or right of Conduit Services,
any Affiliated Originator, any Unaffiliated Originator, or
creditors of Conduit Services or others. Further we have
assumed the absence of any defense against enforcement of, or
right of offset against, each such Note and the related
Mortgage. We have undertaken no independent review of the
Mortgage Loans, including the Notes and the Mortgages and have
relied solely upon the representations of Conduit Services and
of the Affiliated Originators in the Master Loan Transfer
Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that they
have title to the Mortgage Loans; and
(8) in the case of each purchaser of a Class A Certificate
investing assets of an employee benefit plan covered by ERISA,
such plan is a plan to which Prohibited Transaction Exemption
91-14 is fully available.
We have assumed that the Mortgages and rights to receive
payment under the Mortgage Loans are not subject to any right, lien or interest
of any government or any agency or instrumentality thereof (including without
limitation any federal or state tax lien, or lien arising under Title IV of
ERISA) and that they are not subject to any lien arising by operation of law or
any judicial lien.
The opinions expressed in paragraphs 5, 7 and 10 with respect
to the enforceability of certain agreements are subject to the following
additional qualifications:
3
<PAGE> 5
(a) The effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, receivership, or other similar laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally or the rights of creditors
of national banking associations in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or receivership.
(b) The application of general principles of equity,
including, but not limited to, the right of specific performance (regardless of
whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
In addition, we wish to advise you that the enforceability of
certain provisions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement which purport to
provide for indemnification for losses due to securities laws violations may be
limited by public policy considerations.
We are admitted to the Bars of the States of New York and
California, and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction
except as to matters that are governed by federal law. All opinions expressed
herein are based on laws, regulations and policy guidelines currently in force
and may be affected by future regulations. Furthermore, no opinion is expressed
herein regarding the applicable state Blue Sky, legal investment or real estate
syndication laws.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the last paragraph
hereof, we are of the opinion that:
1. Conduit Services has been duly organized and is validly
existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware, and is qualified to do business in each state necessary to enable it
to perform its obligations under the Documents. Conduit Services has the
requisite power and authority to execute and deliver, engage in the transactions
contemplated by, and perform and observe the conditions of the Documents.
2. AMCUSA has been duly organized and is validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is

obligations under the Transfer Agreement, the Insurance Agreement and the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. AMCUSA has the requisite power and authority to
execute and deliver, engage in the transactions contemplated by, and perform and
observe the conditions of the Transfer Agreement, the Insurance Agreement and
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
3. Each Affiliated Originator (other than ABC) has been duly
organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation and is qualified to do business in each state
necessary to enable it to perform its obligations under the Transfer Agreement.
Each Affiliated Originator (other than ABC) has the requisite power and
authority to execute and deliver, engage in the transactions contemplated by,
and perform and observe the conditions of the Transfer Agreement.
4
<PAGE> 6
4. The Warehouse Trust Assignment constitutes the legal valid
and binding agreement of the Warehouse Trust, and is enforceable against the
Warehouse Trust in accordance with its terms.
5. Each of the Documents has been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered by Conduit Services, all requisite corporate action
having been taken with respect thereto. Each of the Documents constitutes the
valid, legal and binding agreement of Conduit Services, and is enforceable
against Conduit Services in accordance with its terms.
6. Each of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Insurance
Agreement and the Transfer Agreement has been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered by AMCUSA, and in the case of the Transfer Agreement, by
the Affiliated Originators (other than ABC), all requisite corporate action
having been taken with respect thereto.
7. Each of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Insurance
Agreement and the Transfer Agreement constitutes the valid, legal and binding
agreement of AMCUSA, and in the case of the Transfer Agreement, of the
Affiliated Originators (other than ABC), and each is enforceable against AMCUSA
and in the case of the Transfer Agreement, of the Affiliated Originators, in
accordance with its terms.
8. AMHC has been duly organized and is validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is
qualified to do business in each state necessary to enable it to perform its
obligations under the Insurance Agreement and the AMHC Guaranties. AMHC has the
requisite power and authority to execute and deliver, engage in the transactions
contemplated by, and perform and observe the conditions of, the AMHC Guaranties.
9. The AMHC Guaranties have been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered by AMHC, all requisite corporate action having been taken
with respect thereto.
10. Each of the AMHC Guaranties each constitutes the valid,
legal and binding agreement of AMHC, and each is enforceable against AMHC in
accordance with its terms.
11. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, assuming the due
execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee, creates a valid, express trust
under the laws of New York. Each Certificate, assuming the due execution by the
Trustee and due authentication by the Trustee and payment therefor, is validly
issued and outstanding and is entitled to the benefits of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
12. No consent, approval, authorization or order of,
registration or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court
is required under federal laws or the laws of the States of New York, Delaware
and California for the execution, delivery and performance of any of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the Insurance Agreement or the Transfer Agreement or
the consummation of any other transaction
5
<PAGE> 7
contemplated thereby by AMCUSA or, in the case of the Transfer Agreement, the
Affiliated Originators (other than ABC), except such which have been obtained.
13. No consent, approval, authorization or order of,
registration or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court

except such which have been obtained.

registration or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court
is required under federal laws or the laws of the States of New York, Delaware

Guaranties, except such which have been obtained.
15. To our knowledge, following due inquiry made of the
appropriate officers of Conduit Services, AMCUSA and the Affiliated Originators
(other than ABC), there are no actions, proceedings or investigations pending
or, to our knowledge, threatened against Conduit Services, AMCUSA or the
Affiliated Originators before any court, governmental agency or body or other
tribunal (a) asserting the invalidity of the Documents or the Certificates, (b)
seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates or the consummation of any
of the transactions contemplated by the Documents, (c) which would materially
and adversely affect the performance by Conduit Services, AMCUSA or the
Affiliated Originators, as applicable, of obligations under, or the validity or
enforceability of, the Documents or the Certificates, or (d) that would
adversely affect the status of the Trust as a "real estate mortgage investment
conduit" ("REMIC"), as such term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended.
16. Neither the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust,
the issuance or sale of the Certificates, nor the execution, delivery or
performance by the Affiliated Originators (other than ABC) of the Transfer
Agreement, or AMCUSA of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Insurance
Agreement and the Transfer Agreement (a) conflicts or will conflict with or
results or will result in a breach of, or constitutes or will constitute a

bylaws of AMCUSA or the Affiliated Originators, as applicable; (ii) any term or
provision of any material agreement, contract, instrument or indenture, to which
AMCUSA or the Affiliated Originators, as applicable, is a party or is bound

federal government (including, without limitation, any bulk sales law), or (b)
results in, or will result in, the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or
encumbrance upon the Trust Estate created under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement or upon the Certificates, except as otherwise contemplated by the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

<PAGE> 8
17. Neither the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust,
the issuance or sale of the Certificates, nor the execution, delivery or
performance by Conduit Services of the Documents (a) conflicts or will conflict
with or results or will result in a breach of, or constitutes or will constitute
a default under (i) any term or provision of the certificate of incorporation or
bylaws of Conduit Services; (ii) any term or provision of any material
agreement, contract, instrument or indenture, to which Conduit Services is a
party or is bound, which has been identified to us by an officer or
representative of Conduit Services; (iii) any order, judgment, writ, injunction
or decree of any court or governmental agency or body or other tribunal having
jurisdiction over Conduit Services, which has been identified to us by an
officer or representative of Conduit Services; or (iv) any law, rule or
regulation of the State of New York or the federal government, or (b) results or
will result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance
upon the Trust Estate or upon the related Certificates, except as otherwise
contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
18. The execution, delivery or performance by AMHC of the AMHC
Guaranties does not conflict with or will not conflict with and does not result
or will not result in a breach of, and does not constitute or will not
constitute a default under, (i) any term or provision of the certificate of
incorporation or bylaws of AMHC; (ii) any term or provision of any material
agreement, contract, instrument or indenture, to which AMHC is a party or is

19. To the best of our knowledge, following due inquiry made
of the appropriate officers of AMHC, there are no actions, proceedings or
investigation pending or to our knowledge threatened against AMHC before any
court, administrative agency or other tribunal (a) asserting the invalidity of
the AMHC Guaranties, (b) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated by the AMHC Guaranties, or (c) which would materially
and adversely affect the performance by AMHC of obligations of the AMHC
Guaranties.

Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement (other than the
financial and statistical data included therein, as to which we are not called

"CERTAIN LEGAL ASPECTS OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND RELATED MATTERS" and the statements
in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement set forth
under the captions "ERISA CONSIDERATIONS", "STATE TAXES" and "CERTAIN FEDERAL
INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES", to the extent that they constitute matters of federal,
New York or California law, or federal, New York or California legal
conclusions, provide a fair and accurate summary of such law or conclusions.
25. To the best of our knowledge, the Registration Statement
has become effective and the Commission has not issued any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any order directed to any
prospectus or prospectus supplement relating to the Class A Certificates
(including the Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the
Prospectus Supplement), and has not initiated or threatened any proceeding for
that purpose.
26. The provision in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which
provides for the laws of New York to be the governing law would be upheld by a
court
8
<PAGE> 10
applying New York or California law, or, if not upheld, then such court applying
New York or California law would hold that California law is the governing law
for the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Assuming that the Trust's acquisition of any Subsequent
Mortgage Loan is effected in accordance with the provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, our opinions set forth above refer to such Subsequent
Mortgage Loans as well as the Initial Mortgage Loans held by the Trust.
We have rendered legal advice and assistance to the Conduit
Services and AMCUSA in the course of their investigation pertaining to, and
their participation in the preparation of, the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus Supplement, and
other matters relating to the sale of the Certificates. Rendering such
assistance involved, among other things, discussions and inquiries concerning
various legal and related subjects and reviews of certain records, documents,
opinions and certificates in accordance with instructions of Conduit Services
and AMCUSA. We also participated with the Conduit Services and AMCUSA in
conferences with representatives of the Underwriters and its counsel during
which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the
Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus Supplement and related matters
were discussed. Although we are not passing upon, and do not assume
responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements
contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Preliminary
Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement, in the course of our
examination of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Preliminary
Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus Supplement and certain other documents and
our participation in the discussions hereinabove mentioned, no facts have come
to our attention which lead us to believe that the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement
(other than the financial statements and other financial and statistical data
contained therein, as to which we are not called upon to express any belief), at
the time the Registration Statement became effective, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in
order to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus, the
Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement (other than the
financial statements and other financial and statistical data contained therein,
as to which we are not called upon to express any belief) as of its date and on
the date hereof contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits to
state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
This opinion is furnished by us as special counsel to Conduit
Services, the Affiliated Originators, AMCUSA and AMHC and is solely for the
benefit of the addressees hereof and their respective counsel. It may not be
relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose without our prior
written consent.
Very truly yours,

Re: Advanta Mortgage Loan Trust 1999-2
Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 1999-2
------------------------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special tax counsel in connection with the
issuance and delivery of certain mortgage loan asset-backed certificates
denominated Advanta Mortgage Loan Trust 1999-2, Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed
Certificates, Series 1999-2 (collectively, the "Certificates"), pursuant to a
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 1, 1999 (the "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement") among Advanta Mortgage Conduit Services, Inc. ("Conduit
Services"), Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA, as Master Servicer (the "Master
Servicer") and Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., as trustee (the
"Trustee").
As special tax counsel, we have examined such documents as we
deemed appropriate for the purposes of rendering the opinions set forth below,
including the following: (a) Prospectus dated May 6, 1999 (the "Prospectus"), a
Preliminary Prospectus Supplement dated May 21, 1999 (the "Preliminary
Prospectus Supplement") and a Prospectus Supplement dated May 26, 1999 (the
"Prospectus Supplement") with respect to the Class A Certificates, and (b) an
executed copy of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the exhibits attached
thereto.
Terms capitalized herein and not otherwise defined herein
shall have their respective meanings as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
Based upon the foregoing and upon the assumptions set forth
below, we are of the opinion, under the laws of the United States, New York
State, New York City and California in effect as of the date hereof, that:
1. Assuming that (a) each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the
Lower-Tier REMIC created under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement elects, as it
has covenanted to do in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to be treated as a
"real estate mortgage investment conduit" ("REMIC"), as such term is defined in
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and (b) the parties
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement comply with the terms thereof, both the
Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC will be treated as REMICs. Subject to
the above, (i) the Lower Tier REMIC Regular Interests, each Class of Class A
Certificates and the Class B Certificates issued pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement will be treated as one or more "regular interests" in the
related REMIC and (ii) the Class R Certificates and Class RL Certificates will
be treated as the sole "residual interest" in the related REMIC.
<PAGE> 3
2. The statements under the caption "CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME
TAX CONSEQUENCES" in the Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and
the Prospectus Supplement and "STATE TAXES" in the Preliminary Prospectus
Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement are accurate and complete in all
material respects.
3. As a consequence of the qualification of the Upper-Tier
REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC each as a REMIC, the Class A Certificates will be
treated as "regular . . . interest(s) in a REMIC" under Section 7701(a)(19)(C)
of the Code and "real estate assets" under Section 856(c) of the Code in the
same proportion that the assets in the Trust consist of qualifying assets under
such Sections. In addition, as a consequence of the qualification of the
Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC each as a REMIC, interest on the Class
A Certificates will be treated as "interest on obligations secured by mortgages
on real property" under Section 856(c) of the Code to the extent that such Class
A Certificates are treated as "real estate assets" under Section 856(c) of the
Code.
4. The Trust will not be subject to tax upon its income or
assets by the taxing authority of New York State or New York City.
5. The Trust will not be subject to the California state
income tax. While REMICS are subject to the California state minimum franchise
tax imposed under Article 2, Section 23153 of the California Revenue and
Taxation Code, no opinion is expressed as to whether the Trust is subject to
such tax.
6. Neither the Trust nor any portion thereof, including,
without limitation, the Supplemental Interest Account, will be treated as an
association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.
7. The acquisition, in the manner contemplated by the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, by the Trust from time to time during the Pre-Funding
Period of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans will not cause either the Upper-Tier
REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, nor will any such
acquisition result in either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC
engaging in a "prohibited transaction" under Section 860F(a) of the code.

which they were made not misleading, contained in the Certificate
Insurer Information or a breach of any of the representations and
warranties of the Certificate Insurer contained in Section 4.
(c) If any action or proceeding (including any governmental
investigation) shall be brought or asserted against any Person

this Section 5(a) or (b) may be sought from any of the Underwriters, on
the one hand, or the Certificate Insurer, on the other (each, an
"Indemnifying Party") hereunder, each such Indemnified Party shall
promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing, and the Indemnifying
Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the
payment of all expenses. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to
employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the
defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided,
however, that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be
at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) the Indemnifying Party
has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Indemnifying Party
shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or proceeding
and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in
any such action or proceeding or (iii) the named parties to any such
action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party
shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal
defenses available to it which are different from or additional to
those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if the
Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it
elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying
Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the
defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified
Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall
not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate
but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more
than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the Indemnified
Parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Indemnified
Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement
of any such action or proceeding effected without its written consent
to the extent that any such settlement shall be prejudicial to the
Indemnifying Party, but, if settled with its written consent, or if
there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action or
proceeding with respect to which the Indemnifying Party shall have
received notice in
<PAGE> 8
accordance with this subsection (c), the Indemnifying Party agrees to
indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against
any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
(d) To provide for just and equitable contribution if the
indemnification provided by the Indemnifying Party is determined to be
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party
(other than due to application of this Section), each Indemnifying
Party shall contribute to the losses incurred by the Indemnified Party
on the basis of the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the
one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand provided, that
no Underwriter shall be liable for any amount in excess of (i) the
excess of the sales prices of the Certificates to the public over the
prices paid therefor by the Underwriters over (ii) the aggregate amount
of any damages which the Underwriters have otherwise been required to
pay in respect of the same or any substantially similar claim.
The relative fault of each Indemnifying Party, on the
one hand, and each Indemnified Party, on the other, shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the breach of, or alleged
breach of, any of its representations and warranties set forth within
the control of, the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, and
the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such breach.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section (11)(f) of the Securities Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

modified, supplemented or terminated only by written instrument or written
instruments signed by the parties hereto.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and the Insurance

the Underwriters and the Certificate Insurer with respect to the Registration

Designated Agreements. Any financial obligations of Conduit Services under the
Designated Agreements, whether or not specifically enumerated in this paragraph,
are hereinafter referred to as the "Joint and Several Obligations"; provided,
however, the "Joint and Several Obligations" shall mean only the financial
obligations of Conduit Services under the Designated Agreements (including the
payment of money damages for a breach of any of Conduit Services's obligations
under the Designated Agreement, whether financial or otherwise) but shall not
include any obligations not relating to the payment of money.
As a condition of their respective executions of the
Underwriting Agreement and of the Insurance Agreement, the Underwriters and the
Certificate Insurer have required the undersigned, Advanta Mortgage Holding

direct payment of any Joint and Several Obligations
or by causing any Joint and Several Obligations to be
paid to the Underwriters and to the Certificate
Insurer by Conduit Services or another affiliate of
AMHC.
Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall
have their respective meanings set forth in the Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the
Transfer Agreement (the "Agreements"), AMCUSA in its capacity as Master
Servicer, has undertaken certain financial obligations with respect to its
servicing of the Mortgage Loans, including, but not limited to, the making of
Delinquency Advances and Servicing Advances. In addition, the Sponsor and the

obligations, including, but not limited to, the payment of the Loan Purchase
Price relating to the repurchase of non-qualifying Mortgage Loans, the payment
of Substitution Amounts in connection with the substitution of Qualified
Replacement Mortgages and the payment of certain expenses of the Trust. Any
financial obligations of AMCUSA, the Sponsor or any Affiliated Originator under
either of the Agreements, whether or not specifically enumerated in this
paragraph, are hereinafter referred to as the "Joint and Several Obligations";
provided, however, that "Joint and Several Obligations" shall mean only the
financial obligations of AMCUSA, the Sponsor or any Affiliated Originator under
either of the Agreements (including the payment of money damages for a breach of
any of AMCUSA's, the Sponsor's or any Affiliated Originator's obligations under
either of the Agreements, whether financial or otherwise) but shall not include
any obligations not relating to the payment of money (e.g., the obligation to
service the Mortgage Loans).
