recordable form (which may be included in a
blanket assignment or assignments) of the Mortgage
to the Trustee; and
(2) Each Cooperative Loan (other than a Designated Loan) so
transferred and assigned:
(i) The original Mortgage Note, endorsed without
recourse in blank by the Company and showing an
unbroken chain of endorsements from the originator
to the Company; provided, however, that if such
Mortgage Note is a Confirmatory Mortgage Note,
such Confirmatory Mortgage Note may be payable
directly to the Company or may show a complete
chain of endorsement from the named payee to the
Company;
(ii) A counterpart of the Proprietary Lease and the
Assignment of Proprietary Lease executed in blank
or to the originator of the Cooperative Loan;
(iii) The related Cooperative Stock Certificate,
together with an undated stock power (or other

party, each with evidence of recording thereof,
evidencing the interest of the originator in the
Cooperative Stock and the Proprietary Lease;
(vii) If applicable, copies of the UCC-3 assignments of
the security interest described in clause (vi)
above, sent to the appropriate public office for
filing, showing an unbroken chain of title from

(ix) A UCC-3 assignment from the Company to the Trustee
of the security interest described in clause (vi)
above, in form suitable for filing, otherwise
complete except for filing information regarding

Except for any Mortgage which has been recorded in the name of MERS
or its designee, in instances where a completed assignment of the Mortgage in
recordable form cannot be delivered by the Company to the Trustee (or the
Custodian) in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(1)(iii) prior to or concurrently
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, due to a delay in connection
with recording of the Mortgage, the Company may, in lieu of delivering the
completed assignment in recordable form, deliver to the Trustee (or the
Custodian) the assignment in such form, otherwise complete except for recording
information. With respect to any Mortgage that has been recorded in the name of
MERS or its designee, no assignment of the Mortgage in favor of the Trustee
shall be required to be prepared or delivered; instead, the Company shall take
all actions as are necessary to cause the Trust Fund to be shown as the owner of
the related Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of
recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS, and
shall provide evidence thereof to the Trustee (or the Custodian).
(3) With respect to each Designated Loan, the Company does hereby
deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian) the Designated Loan
Closing Documents.
(c) In connection with each Mortgage Loan transferred and
assigned to the Trustee, the Company shall deliver to
the Trustee (or the Custodian) the following documents
or instruments as promptly as practicable, but in any
event within 30 days, after receipt by the Company of
all such documents and instruments for all of the
outstanding Mortgage Loans:
(1) the Mortgage with evidence of recording indicated
thereon (other than with respect to a Cooperative
Loan);
(2) a copy of the title insurance policy (other than
with respect to a Cooperative Loan);
(3) with respect to any Mortgage that has been
assigned to the Company, the related recorded
intervening assignment or assignments of Mortgage,
showing a complete chain of assignment from the
originator to the Company (other than with respect
to a Cooperative Loan); and
(4) with respect to any Cooperative Loan that has been
assigned to the Company, the related filed
intervening UCC-3 financing statements (not
previously delivered pursuant to Section
2.01(b)(2)(vii)), showing a complete chain of
assignment from the named originator to the
Company.
Pending such delivery, the Company shall retain in its files (a) copies of the
documents described in clauses (1) and (3) of the preceding sentence, without
evidence of recording thereon, and (b) title insurance binders with respect to
the Mortgage Loans (other than with respect to a Cooperative Loan). The Company
shall also retain in its files the Primary Insurance Policy evidencing any
primary mortgage insurance relating to the Mortgage Loans during the period when
the related insurance is in force. (The copies of the Mortgage, intervening
assignments of Mortgage, if any, title insurance binder and the Primary
Insurance Policy, if any, described in the two preceding sentences are
collectively referred to herein as the "Document File" with respect to each
Mortgage Loan.) The Company shall advise the Trustee in writing if such delivery
to the Trustee (and the Custodian) shall not have occurred on or before the
first anniversary of the Closing Date. The Company shall promptly furnish to the
Trustee (or the Custodian) the documents included in the Document Files (other
than any such documents previously delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian)
as originals or copies) either (a) upon the written request of the Trustee or
(b) when the Company or the Trustee obtains actual notice or knowledge of a
Trigger Event. The Trustee shall have no obligation to request delivery of the
Document Files unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual notice or
knowledge of the occurrence of a Trigger Event.
In the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after
the Cut-off Date and prior to the date of execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Company, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the
Trustee, herewith delivers to the Trustee a certification of a Servicing Officer
of the nature set forth in Section 3.09.
(d) The Company shall not be required to record the assignments of
the Mortgages referred to in Section 2.01(b)(1)(iii) or file
the UCC-3 assignments referred to in Section 2.01(b)(2)(ix) to
the Trustee unless the Company or the Trustee obtains actual
notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Trigger Event;
provided, however, that such recording or filing shall not be
required if the Company delivers to the Trustee a letter from
each Rating Agency to the effect that the failure to take such
action will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce or withdraw
its then current ratings of the Certificates. The party
obtaining actual notice or knowledge of any of such events
shall give the other party (and the Custodian, if applicable)
prompt written notice thereof. For purposes of the foregoing
(as well as for purposes of determining whether the Company
shall be required to deliver the Document Files to the Trustee
following the occurrence of a Trigger Event), the Company
shall be deemed to have knowledge of any such downgrading
referred to in the definition of Trigger Event if, in the
exercise of reasonable diligence, the Company has or should
have had knowledge thereof. As promptly as practicable
subsequent to the Company's delivery or receipt of such
written notice, as the case may be, the Company shall insert
the recording or filing information in the assignments of the
Mortgages or UCC-3 assignments to the Trustee and shall cause
the same to be recorded or filed, at the Company's expense, in
the appropriate public office for real property records or UCC
financing statements, except that the Company need not cause
to be so completed and recorded any assignment of mortgage
which relates to a Mortgage Loan secured by property in a
jurisdiction under the laws of which, on the basis of an
Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and
satisfactory to each Rating Agency (as evidenced in writing),
recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the
Trustee against discharge of such Mortgage Loan by the Company
or any valid assertion that any Person other than the Trustee
has title to or any rights in such Mortgage Loan. In the event
that the Company fails or refuses to record or file the
assignment of Mortgages or UCC-3 financing statement in the
circumstances provided above, the Trustee shall record or
cause to be recorded or filed such assignment or UCC-3
financing statement at the expense of the Company. In
connection with any such recording or filing, the Company
shall furnish such documents as may be reasonably necessary to
accomplish such recording or filing. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, at any time the Company may record or file, or
cause to be recorded or filed, the assignments of Mortgages or
UCC-3 financing statement at the expense of the Company.
Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee. Subject to the examination hereinafter
provided, the Trustee acknowledges receipt (or shall cause the Custodian to
acknowledge receipt) of the Mortgage Notes, the assignments of the Mortgages to
the Trustee (except for any Mortgage which has been recorded in the name of MERS
or its designee), the assumption and modification agreements, if any, the
documents specified in Section 2.01(b)(2) (subject to any permitted delayed
delivery of the documents described in Section 2.01(c)(4)), and the Designated
Loan Closing Documents, if any, delivered pursuant to Section 2.01, and declares
that the Trustee (or the Custodian on its behalf) holds and will hold such
documents and each other document delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01 in
trust, upon the trusts herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present
and future Certificateholders. The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to review (or cause the Custodian to review) each Mortgage
File within 45 days after (i) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, in
the case of the Mortgage Notes, the assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee,
the assumption and modification agreements, if any, the documents specified in
Section 2.01(b)(2) (subject to any permitted delayed delivery of the documents
described in Section 2.01(c)(4)), and the Designated Loan Closing Documents, if
any, (ii) delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian) after the Closing Date of
the Mortgage Notes and the assumption and modification agreements, if any, with
respect to each Designated Loan, and (iii) delivery of the recorded Mortgages,
title insurance policies, recorded intervening assignments of Mortgage, if any,
and filed intervening UCC-3 financing statements, if any, with respect to any
Cooperative Loan to ascertain that all required documents set forth in Section
2.01 have been executed, received and recorded, if applicable, and that such
documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit C hereto. In
performing such examination, the Trustee (or the Custodian, if applicable) may
conclusively assume the due execution and genuineness of any such document and
the genuineness of any signature thereon. It is understood that the scope of the
Trustee's (or the Custodian's, if applicable) examination of the Mortgage Files
is limited solely to confirming, after receipt of the documents listed in
Section 2.01, that such documents have been executed, received and recorded, if
applicable, and relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit C to this
Agreement. If in the course of such review the Trustee (or the Custodian, if
applicable) finds (1) that any document required to be delivered as aforesaid
has not been delivered, or (2) any such document has been mutilated, defaced or
physically altered without the borrower's authorization or approval, or (3)
based upon its examination of such documents, the information with respect to
any Mortgage Loan set forth on Exhibit C is not accurate, the Trustee shall
promptly so notify the Company in writing, which shall have a period of 60 days
after receipt of such notice to correct or cure any such defect. The Company
hereby covenants and agrees that, if any such material defect cannot be
corrected or cured, the Company will on a Distribution Date which is not later
than the first Distribution Date which is more than ten days after the end of
such 60-day period repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the
Purchase Price therefor or replace such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section
2.03(b); provided, however, that if the defect (or breach pursuant to Section
2.03(a)) is one that, had it been discovered before the Startup Day, would have
prevented the Mortgage Loan from being a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning
of the REMIC Provisions, such defect or breach shall be cured, or the related
Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or replaced, on a Distribution Date which
falls within 90 days of the date of discovery of such defect or breach. The
Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan, or any amount required in
respect of a substitution pursuant to Section 2.03(b), shall be deposited by the
Company in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.02(d) on the Business
Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date and, upon receipt by the Trustee
of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the
Trustee shall release or cause to be released to the Company the related
Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and
delivered such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Company any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the
Company to repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect
in a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole remedy respecting
such defect available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of
Certificateholders.
Upon receipt by the Trustee (or the Custodian, if applicable) of the
original Mortgage Note with respect to a Designated Loan that is not defective
in accordance with the fifth sentence of the preceding paragraph, the related
Lost Note Affidavit delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 shall be void and the
Trustee (or Custodian, if applicable) shall return it (or cause to be returned)
to the Company.

material respects with applicable state and federal laws,
including, without limitation, usury, equal credit opportunity

the interests of the Certificateholders;

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in this Section 2.03(a) shall survive delivery of the respective
Mortgage Files to the Trustee (or the Custodian, if applicable). Upon discovery
by either the Company or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. Subject
to the following sentence, within 60 days of its discovery or its receipt of
notice of breach, or, with the prior written consent of a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee, such longer period specified in such consent, the Company shall
cure such breach in all material respects or shall repurchase such Mortgage Loan
from the Trustee or replace such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03(b). Any
such repurchase by the Company shall be accomplished in the manner set forth in
Section 2.02, subject to the proviso of the third-to-last sentence thereof, and
at the Purchase Price. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the
Company to repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach occurred
and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach
available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders
and such obligation of the Company to repurchase or replace any such Mortgage
Loan shall not be assumed by any Person which may succeed the Company as
servicer hereunder, but shall continue as an obligation of the Company.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if a breach of the representation and
warranty of the Company contained in Section 2.03(a)(ix) occurs as a result of a
violation of the federal Truth in Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. ss. 1601 et seq., as
amended ("TILA") or any state truth-in lending or similar statute, and the
Trustee or the Trust Fund is named as a defendant in a TILA suit or a suit under
any such statutes in respect of such violation and liability in respect thereof
is imposed upon the Trustee or the Trust Fund as assignees of the related
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 1641 of TILA, or any analogous provision of
any such statute, the Company shall indemnify the Trustee and the Trust Fund
from, and hold them harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages,
claims or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) to which the Trustee
and the Trust Fund, or either of them, become subject pursuant to TILA or any
such statute, insofar as such losses, damages, claims or expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) result from such violation. The Company's
obligations under the preceding sentence shall not impair or derogate from the
Company's obligations to the Trustee under Section 8.05.
(b) If the Company is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03(a), the Company may, at its
option, within the applicable time period specified in such
respective Sections, remove such Defective Mortgage Loan from
the terms of this Agreement and substitute one or more other
mortgage loans for such Defective Mortgage Loan, in lieu of
repurchasing such Defective Mortgage Loan, provided that no
such substitution shall occur more than two years after the
Closing Date. Any substitute Mortgage Loan shall (a) have a
Scheduled Principal Balance (together with that of any other
Mortgage Loan substituted for the same Defective Mortgage
Loan) as of the first Distribution Date following the month of
substitution not in excess of the Scheduled Principal Balance
of the Defective Mortgage Loan as of such date (the amount of
any difference, plus one month's interest thereon at the
respective Net Mortgage Rate, to be deposited by the Company
in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 2.02), (b) have
a Mortgage Rate not less than, and not more than one
percentage point greater than, the Mortgage Rate of the
Defective Mortgage Loan, (c) have the same Net Mortgage Rate
as the Defective Mortgage Loan, (d) have a remaining term to
stated maturity not later than, and not more than one year
less than, the remaining term to stated maturity of the
Defective Mortgage Loan, (e) be, in the reasonable
determination of the Company, of the same type, quality and
character as the Defective Mortgage Loan as if the defect or
breach had not occurred, (f) have a ratio of its current
principal amount to its Original Value not greater than that
of the removed Mortgage Loan and (g) be, in the reasonable
determination of the Company, in compliance with the
representations and warranties contained in Section 2.03(a),
other than subparagraph (xvi) thereof, as of the date of
substitution.
The Company shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the
withdrawal of any Defective Mortgage Loan and the substitution of a substitute
Mortgage Loan therefor. Upon such amendment the Company shall be deemed to have
made as to such substitute Mortgage Loan the representations and warranties set
forth in Section 2.03(a), other than subparagraph (xvi) thereof, as of the date
of such substitution, which shall be continuing as long as any Certificate shall
be outstanding or this Agreement has not been terminated, and the remedies for
breach of any such representation or warranty shall be as set forth in Section
2.03(a). Upon such amendment, the Trustee (or the Custodian, if applicable)
shall review the Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute
Mortgage Loan, within the time and in the manner and with the remedies specified
in Section 2.02, except that for purposes of this Section 2.03(b) (other than
the two-year period specified in the first sentence of the preceding paragraph
of this Section 2.03(b)), such time shall be measured from the date of the
applicable substitution.
Section 2.04. Execution of Certificates. The Trustee has caused to be executed,
countersigned and delivered to or upon the order of the Company, in exchange for
the Mortgage Loans, the Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the
entire ownership of the Trust Fund.
Section 2.05. Designations under the REMIC Provisions. (a) The Company hereby
designates the Classes of Certificates identified in Section 5.01(b), other than
the Residual Certificate, as "regular interests," and the Class R Certificate as
the single class of "residual interest," in the REMIC established hereunder for
purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The assets of the REMIC established hereunder
will consist of the assets and rights specified in clauses (i) though (viii) of
the definition of the term Trust Fund, and any Rounding Accounts.
(b) The Closing Date will be the "Startup Day" for the REMIC
established hereunder for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
(c) The "tax matters person" with respect to the REMIC established
hereunder for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be (i)
the Company, if the Company is the owner of a Class R
Certificate, or (ii) in any other case, the beneficial owner
of the Class R Certificate having the largest Percentage
Interest of such Class; provided, however, that such largest
beneficial owner and, to the extent relevant, each other
holder of a Class R Certificate, by its acceptance thereof
irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent and
attorney-in-fact to act as "tax matters person" with respect
to the REMIC established hereunder for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions.
(d) The "latest possible maturity date" of the regular interests
in the REMIC established hereunder is the Latest Possible
Maturity Date for purposes of section 860G(a)(1) of the Code.
(e) In the event that the Servicing Fee exceeds the amount
reasonable for such services (within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation 1.860D-1(b)(1)(ii)), the portion or portions of
such fee that can be measured as a fixed number of basis
points on some or all of the Mortgage Loans and can be treated
as one or more stripped coupons within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation 1.860D-1(b)(2)(iii) shall be treated as such
stripped coupons and shall not be treated as a REMIC asset.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01. Company to Act as Servicer. (a) It is intended that the REMIC
established hereunder shall constitute, and that the affairs of the REMIC shall
be conducted so as to qualify the Trust Fund (other than any collateral fund
established under the agreement referred to in Section 3.08(e)) as, a "real
estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with the
REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Company covenants and
agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Company is hereby appointed to act as
agent) on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Holders of the Residual Certificates
and that in such capacity it shall:
(i) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a
timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit
Income Tax Return (Form 1066) and prepare and file or cause to
be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and
applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or
information returns for each taxable year with respect to the
REMIC established hereunder, using the calendar year as the
taxable year and the accrual method of accounting, containing
such information and at the times and in the manner as may be
required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations,
or rules, and shall furnish or cause to be furnished to
Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at
such times and in such manner as may be required thereby;
(ii) within thirty days of the Closing Date, shall furnish or cause
to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811
or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title,
address, and telephone number of the person that the holders
of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating
thereto (and the Company shall act as the representative of
the REMIC established hereunder for this purpose), together
with such additional information as may be required by such
Form, and shall update such information at the time or times
and in the manner required by the Code;
(iii) make or cause to be made an election, on behalf of the REMIC
established hereunder, to be treated as a REMIC, and make the
appropriate designations, if applicable, in accordance with
Section 2.05 hereof on the federal tax return of the Trust
Fund for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under
applicable state law);
(iv) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to
the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service
and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all information
returns or reports, or furnish or cause to be furnished by
telephone, mail, publication or other appropriate method such
information, as and when required to be provided to them in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without
limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount
using the Prepayment Assumption Multiple and the furnishing of
Schedule Q to Form 1066 to Holders of the Class R
Certificates;
(v) provide information necessary for the computation of tax
imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a
Disqualified Organization, or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or other middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, or
a pass-through entity in which a Disqualified Organization is
the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of
computing and furnishing such information may be charged to
the Person liable for such tax);
(vi) use its best reasonable efforts to conduct the affairs of the
REMIC established hereunder at all times that any Certificates
are outstanding so as to maintain the status thereof as a
REMIC under the REMIC Provisions;
(vii) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take
any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC
status of the REMIC or that would subject the Trust Fund to
tax;
(viii)exercise reasonable care not to allow the creation of any
"interests" in the REMIC within the meaning of section
860D(a)(2) of the Code other than the interests represented by
the Classes of Certificates identified in Section 5.01(b);
(ix) exercise reasonable care not to allow the occurrence of any
"prohibited transactions" within the meaning of section 860F
of the Code, unless the Company shall have provided an Opinion
of Counsel to the Trustee that such occurrence would not (a)
result in a taxable gain, (b) otherwise subject the Trust Fund
to tax, or (c) cause any REMIC established hereunder to fail
to qualify as a REMIC;
(x) exercise reasonable care not to allow the Trust Fund to
receive income from the performance of services or from assets
not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by a
REMIC;
(xi) pay the amount of any federal or state tax, including
prohibited transaction taxes, taxes on certain contributions
to the REMIC after the Startup Day, and taxes on net income
from foreclosure property, imposed on the Trust Fund when and
as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation
shall not prevent the Company or any other appropriate Person
from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and
shall not prevent the Company from withholding payment of such
tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such
proceedings);
(xii) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information
returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as
may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or
local laws, regulations or rules;
(xiii)maintain such records relating to the REMIC established
hereunder, including but not limited to the income, expenses,
individual Mortgage Loans (including Mortgaged Property),
other assets and liabilities thereof, and the fair market
value and adjusted basis of the property of each determined at
such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be
necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules,
statements or information; and
(xiv) ensure that no modification of a Mortgage Loan would be a
"significant modification" of such Mortgage Loan within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).
The Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to Section
3.04 for any federal income taxes paid by it pursuant to clause (xi) of the
preceding sentence, except to the extent that such taxes are imposed as a result
of the bad faith, misfeasance or negligence of the Company in the performance of
its obligations hereunder. With respect to any reimbursement of prohibited
transaction taxes, the Company shall inform the Trustee of the circumstances
under which such taxes were incurred.
(b) The Company shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans
and shall have full power and authority, acting alone or
through one or more Primary Servicers, to do any and all
things in connection with such servicing and administration
which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company shall continue, and
is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee, to execute
and deliver, or file, as appropriate, on behalf of itself, the
Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, any and all
continuation statements, termination statements, instruments
of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release
or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the
properties subject to the Mortgages. Without limitation of the
foregoing, if the Company in its individual capacity agrees to
refinance any Mortgage Loan upon the request of the related
Mortgagor, the Company, as servicer hereunder, may execute an
instrument of assignment in customary form to the Company in
its individual capacity. In connection with any such
refinancing, the Trustee shall, upon certification of a
Servicing Officer to the effect that an amount equal to the
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan together with
accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Net
Mortgage Rate to the date of such certification has been
credited to the Mortgage Loan Payment Record, release the
related Mortgage File to the Company whereupon the Company may
cancel the related Mortgage Note. Upon request by the Company
after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall furnish the Company with any powers of attorney
and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the
Company to carry out its servicing and administrative duties
hereunder. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company
shall maintain servicing standards substantially equivalent to
those required for approval by FNMA or FHLMC. The Company
shall not agree to any modification of the material terms of
any Mortgage Loan except as provided in the second sentence of
Section 3.02(a) and in Section 3.07. The Company shall not
release any portion of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of
the related Mortgage unless the related Mortgage Loan would be
a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of the REMIC
Provisions following such release.
(c) [Intentionally Omitted.]
(d) The relationship of the Company (and of any successor to the
Company as servicer under this Agreement) to the Trustee under
this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an
independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer,
partner or agent.
(e) All costs incurred by the Company in effecting the timely
payment of taxes and assessments on the properties subject to
the Mortgage Loans shall not, for the purpose of calculating
monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the
amount owing under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding
that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit, and such
costs shall be recoverable by the Company to the extent
permitted by Section 3.04. The Company shall collect such
amounts from the Mortgagor and shall credit the Mortgage Loan
Payment Record accordingly.
(f) If the Company enters into a servicing agreement with any
servicer (a "Primary Servicer") pursuant to which such Primary
Servicer shall directly service certain Mortgage Loans and the
Company shall perform master servicing with respect thereto,
the Company shall not be released from its obligations to the
Trustee and Certificateholders with respect to the servicing
and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
the provisions of Article III hereof and such obligations
shall not be diminished by virtue of any such servicing
agreement or arrangement and the Company shall be obligated to
the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if
the Company alone were servicing and administering the
Mortgage Loans. Any amounts received by a Primary Servicer in
respect of a Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to have been
received by the Company whether or not actually received by
it. Any servicing agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans
involving a Primary Servicer in its capacity as such shall be
deemed to be between the Company and the Primary Servicer
alone, and the Trustee and the Certificateholders shall have
no claims, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect
thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the
Company has been removed as the servicer hereunder pursuant to
Section 6.05 or Section 7.01, the Trustee or any successor
servicer appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall succeed to
all of the Company's rights and interests (but not to any
obligations or liabilities of the Company arising prior to the
date of succession) under any servicing agreement with any
Primary Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans, subject to
the limitation on the Trustee's responsibilities under Section
7.02.
(g) With respect to any CashSaver Mortgage Loan, the Company shall
use reasonable efforts to cause the Primary Servicer to
perform its obligations under the agreements related to the
Additional Collateral for such CashSaver Mortgage Loan.
(h) In no event shall any collateral fund established under the
agreement referred to in Section 3.08(e) constitute an asset
of any REMIC established hereunder.
Section 3.02. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments; Mortgage Loan
Payment Record; Certificate Account. (a) The Company shall make reasonable
efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the
Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent
with this Agreement, follow such collection procedures as it follows with
respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans in its servicing
portfolio. Consistent with the foregoing, the Company may in its discretion (i)
waive any late payment charge or any assumption fees or other fees which may be
collected in the ordinary course of servicing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) if a
default on the Mortgage Loan has occurred or is reasonably foreseeable, arrange
at any time prior to foreclosure with a Mortgagor a schedule for the payment of
due and unpaid principal and interest for a period extending not longer than two
years after the date that such schedule is arranged. Any arrangement of the sort
described in clause (ii) above shall not affect the amount or timing of the
Company's obligation to make Monthly Advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan
which Monthly Advances shall be made pursuant to the original amortization
schedule applicable to such Mortgage Loan.
(b) The Company shall establish and maintain a Mortgage Loan
Payment Record in which the following payments on and
collections in respect of each Mortgage Loan shall as promptly
as practicable be credited by the Company for the account of
the Holders of the Certificates:
(i) All payments on account of principal, including
Principal Prepayments (other than (A) payments of
principal due and payable on the Mortgage Loans on or
before, and all Principal Prepayments received before,
the Cut-off Date, (B) in the case of a substitute
Mortgage Loan, payments of principal due and payable on
such Mortgage Loan on or before the Determination Date
in the month of substitution, and all Principal
Prepayments received before the first day of the month
of substitution, and (C) in the case of a replaced
Mortgage Loan, payments of principal due and payable on
such Mortgage Loan after the Determination Date in the
month of substitution, and all Principal Prepayments
received in the month of substitution);
(ii) All payments (other than (A) those due and payable on or
before the Cut-off Date, (B) in the case of a substitute
Mortgage Loan, those due and payable on such Mortgage
Loan on or before the Determination Date in the month of
substitution, and (C) in the case of a replaced Mortgage
Loan, those due and payable on such Mortgage Loan after
the Determination Date in the month of substitution) on
account of interest at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate
on the Mortgage Loan received from the related
Mortgagor, including any Buydown Funds applied with
respect to interest at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate
on any Buydown Mortgage Loan;
(iii) All Liquidation Proceeds received by the Company with
respect to such Mortgage Loan and the Purchase Price for
any Mortgage Loan purchased by the Company pursuant to
Sections 2.02, 2.03 and 3.16 (including any amounts
received in respect of a substitution of a Mortgage
Loan);
(iv) All Insurance Proceeds (including, for this purpose, any
amounts required to be credited by the Company pursuant
to the last sentence of Section 3.06) received by the
Company for the benefit of the Trust Fund, other than
proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of
the property subject to the related Mortgage or
released, or to be released, to the related Mortgagor in
accordance with the normal servicing procedures of the
Company;
(v) All REO Proceeds;
(vi) All Unanticipated Recoveries;
(vii) All amounts received by the Company with respect to any
Pledged Asset Mortgage Loan pursuant to the liquidation
of any Additional Collateral or pursuant to any recovery
under the Surety Bond in accordance with Section 4.09;
and
(viii)All amounts received by the Company with respect to any
CashSaver Mortgage Loan pursuant to the liquidation of
any Additional Collateral.
The foregoing requirements respecting credits to the Mortgage Loan
Payment Record are exclusive, it being understood that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company need not enter in the Mortgage Loan
Payment Record collections, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in
respect of Mortgage Loans which have been previously released from the terms of
this Agreement, amounts representing fees or late charge penalties payable by
Mortgagors, or amounts received by the Company for the account of Mortgagors for
application towards the payment of taxes, insurance premiums, assessments and
similar items.
(c) Subject to subsection (e) below, until the Business Day prior
to each Distribution Date on which amounts are required to be
transferred to the Certificate Account pursuant to subsection
(d) of this Section 3.02, the Company may retain and commingle
such amounts with its own funds and shall be entitled to
retain for its own account any gain or investment income
thereon, and any such investment income shall not be subject
to any claim of the Trustee or Certificateholders. To the
extent that the Company realizes any net loss on any such
investments, the Company shall deposit in the Certificate
Account an amount equal to such net loss at the time the
Company is required to deposit amounts in the Certificate
Account pursuant to subsection (d) of this section 3.02. Any
such deposit shall not increase the Company's obligation under
said subsection (d).
(d) The Trustee shall establish and maintain with the Trustee in
its corporate trust department a single separate trust account
designated in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Holders of the Certificates issued hereunder (the "Certificate
Account") into which the Company shall transfer, not later
than 11:00 a.m. New York time on the Business Day prior to
each Distribution Date, an amount in next day funds equal to
the sum of Available Funds for such Distribution Date and any
Unanticipated Recoveries received in the calendar month
preceding the month of such Distribution Date. If the Trustee
does not receive such transfer by 2:00 p.m. on such Business
Day, it shall give the Company written notice thereof.
(e) If the Company or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtains
actual notice of or knowledge of the occurrence of either (x)
any Trigger Event or (y) the downgrade by S&P of General
Electric Capital Corporation's short-term senior unsecured
debt rating below A-1+ then, notwithstanding subsection (c)
above, the Company shall promptly establish, and thereafter
maintain, one or more Eligible Accounts in the name of the
Trustee and bearing a designation indicating that amounts
therein are held for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, into which the Company and any Primary
Servicer shall deposit within two Business Days after receipt,
all amounts otherwise required to be credited to the Mortgage
Loan Payment Record pursuant to Section 3.02(b); provided,
however, that such action shall not be required if the Company
delivers to the Trustee a letter from each Rating Agency to
the effect that the failure to take such action will not cause
such Rating Agency to withdraw or reduce its then current
ratings of the Certificates. All amounts so deposited shall be
held in trust for the benefit of Certificateholders. Amounts
so deposited may be invested at the written instruction of the
Company in Permitted Investments in the name of the Trustee
maturing no later than the Business Day preceding the
Distribution Date following the date of such investment;
provided, however, that any such Permitted Investment which is
an obligation of State Street Bank and Trust Company, in its
individual capacity and not in its capacity as Trustee, may
mature on such Distribution Date; and, provided further, that
no such Permitted Investment shall be sold before the maturity
thereof if the sale thereof would result in the realization of
gain prior to maturity unless the Company has obtained an
Opinion of Counsel that such sale or disposition will not
cause the Trust Fund to be subject to the tax on prohibited
transactions under section 860F of the Code, or otherwise
subject the Trust Fund to tax or cause the REMIC established
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC. The Trustee is hereby
authorized, in making or disposing of any investment permitted
by this Section, to deal with itself (in its individual
capacity) or with any one or more of its affiliates, whether
it or such affiliate is acting as an agent of the Trustee or
for any third person or dealing as principal for its own
account. The Trustee shall maintain physical possession of all
Permitted Investments, other than Permitted Investments
maintained in book-entry form. The Company, as servicer, shall
be entitled to retain for its own account any gain or other
income from Permitted Investments, and neither the Trustee nor
Certificateholders shall have any right or claim with respect
to such income. The Company shall deposit an amount equal to
any loss realized on any Permitted Investment as soon as any
such loss is realized. If the provisions in this subsection
(e) become operable, references in this Agreement to the
Mortgage Loan Payment Record and credits and debits to such
Record shall be deemed to refer to Eligible Accounts and
transfers to and withdrawals from such Eligible Accounts. Any
action which may be necessary to establish the terms of an
account pursuant to this Section 3.02(e) may be taken by an
amendment or supplement to this Agreement or pursuant to a
written order of the Company, which amendment, supplement or
order shall not require the consent of Certificateholders,
provided that the Company has delivered to the Trustee a
letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such
amendment, supplement or order will not cause such Rating
Agency to withdraw or reduce its then current ratings of the
Certificates.
Section 3.03. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Other Items. Other than with
respect to any Cooperative Loan, the Company shall establish and maintain with
one or more depository institutions one or more accounts into which it shall
deposit all collections of taxes, assessments, private mortgage or hazard
insurance premiums or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. As
servicer, the Company shall effect the timely payment of all such items for the
account of Mortgagors. Withdrawals from such account or accounts may be made
only to effect payment of taxes, assessments, private mortgage or standard
hazard insurance premiums or comparable items, to reimburse the Company out of
related collections for any payments made regarding taxes and assessments or for
any payments made pursuant to Section 3.05 regarding premiums on Primary
Insurance Policies and Section 3.06 regarding premiums on standard hazard
insurance policies, to refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined to be
overages, or to pay interest owed to Mortgagors to the extent required by law.
Section 3.04. Permitted Debits to the Mortgage Loan Payment Record. The Company
(or any successor servicer pursuant to Section 7.02) may, from time to time,
make debits to the Mortgage Loan Payment Record for the following purposes:
(i) To reimburse the Company or the applicable Primary
Servicer for Liquidation Expenses theretofore incurred
in respect of any Mortgage Loan in an amount not to
exceed the amount of the related Liquidation Proceeds
credited to the Mortgage Loan Payment Record pursuant to
Section 3.02(b)(iii); provided that the Company or the
applicable Primary Servicer shall not be entitled to
reimbursement for Liquidation Expenses incurred after
the initiation of foreclosure proceedings in respect of
any Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is repurchased pursuant
to Section 3.16;
(ii) To reimburse the Company or the applicable Primary
Servicer for Insured Expenses and amounts expended by it
pursuant to Section 3.08 in good faith in connection
with the restoration of property damaged by an Uninsured
Cause, in an amount not to exceed the amount of the
related Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (net
of any debits pursuant to clause (i) above) and amounts
representing proceeds of other insurance policies
covering the property subject to the related Mortgage
credited to the Mortgage Loan Payment Record pursuant to
Section 3.02(b) (iii) and (iv);
(iii) To reimburse the Company to the extent permitted by
Sections 3.01(a) and 6.04;
(iv) To pay to the Company amounts received in respect of any
Defective Mortgage Loan or Defaulted Mortgage Loan
purchased by the Company to the extent that the
distribution of any such amounts on the Distribution
Date upon which the proceeds of such purchase are
distributed would make the total amount distributed in
respect of any such Mortgage Loan on such Distribution
Date greater than the Purchase Price therefor, net of
any unreimbursed Monthly Advances made by the Company;
(v) To reimburse the Company (or the Trustee, as applicable)
for Monthly Advances theretofore made in respect of any
Mortgage Loan to the extent of late payments, REO
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds in
respect of such Mortgage Loan;
(vi) To reimburse the Company from any Mortgagor payment of
interest or other recovery with respect to a particular
Mortgage Loan, to the extent not previously retained by
the Company, for unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to
such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.08(d);
(vii) To reimburse the Company (or the Trustee, as applicable)
for any Nonrecoverable Advance (which right of
reimbursement of the Trustee pursuant to this clause
shall be prior to such right of the Company);
(viii) To make transfers of funds to the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 3.02(d);
(ix) To pay to the Company amounts received in respect of any
Mortgage Loan purchased by the Company pursuant to
Section 9.01 to the extent that the distribution of any
such amounts on the final Distribution Date upon which
the proceeds of such purchase are distributed would make
the total amount distributed in respect of any such
Mortgage Loan on such Distribution Date greater than the
purchase price therefor specified in clause (x) of the
first sentence of Section 9.01; and
(x) To deduct any amount credited to the Mortgage Loan
Payment Record in error.
The Company shall keep and maintain separate accounting records, on
a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of accounting for debits
to the Mortgage Loan Payment Record pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and
(vi) of this Section 3.04; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed
that the records of such accounting need not be retained by the Company for a
period longer than the five most recent fiscal years.
Section 3.05. Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies. (a) The Company
shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage under any
applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of
the Company, would have been covered thereunder. To the extent coverage is
available, the Company shall keep or cause to be kept in full force and effect
each such Primary Insurance Policy until the principal balance of the related
Mortgage Note is 80% or less of the greater of (i) the related Original Value
and (ii) the then current value of the property underlying the related Mortgage
Note as evidenced by an appraisal thereof satisfactory to the Company; provided
that no such Primary Insurance Policy shall be kept in effect if doing so would
violate applicable law, including, without limitation, the Federal Homeowners
Protection Act of 1998. The Company shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such
Primary Insurance Policy applicable to a Mortgage Loan that is in effect at the
Closing Date and is required to be kept in force hereunder unless the
replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is
maintained with an insurer whose claims-paying ability is acceptable to each
Rating Agency for mortgage pass-through certificates having ratings equal to or
better than the ratings then assigned to the Certificates by such Rating Agency.
The Company agrees to effect the timely payment of the premium on each Primary
Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise recoverable shall be recoverable
by the Company from related Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds pursuant
to Section 3.04.
(b) In connection with its activities as administrator and
servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Company agrees to present,
on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders,
claims to the insurer under each Primary Insurance Policy and,
in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be
necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance
Policy respecting a related defaulted Mortgage Loan. To the
extent provided in Section 3.02(b), any amounts collected by
the Company under any Primary Insurance Policy in respect of
the Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, a Mortgage
Loan purchased by a related insurer) shall be credited to the
Mortgage Loan Payment Record.
Section 3.06. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Company shall cause to be
maintained for each Mortgage Loan, other than a Cooperative Loan, hazard
insurance with a standard mortgagee clause and with extended coverage in an
amount which is at least equal to the maximum insurable value of the
improvements securing such Mortgage Loan from time to time or the principal
balance owing on such Mortgage Loan from time to time, whichever is less. The
Company shall also maintain on property (other than Cooperative Apartments)
acquired upon foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, hazard insurance
with extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i)
the maximum insurable value from time to time of the improvements which are a
part of such property or (ii) the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan
at the time of such foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure plus accrued
interest and the good-faith estimate of the Company of related Liquidation
Expenses to be incurred in connection therewith. To the extent provided in
Section 3.02(b)(iv), amounts collected by the Company under any such policies in
respect of the Mortgage Loans shall be credited to the Mortgage Loan Payment
Record. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Company pursuant to Sections 3.03
and 3.04. In cases in which property securing any Mortgage Loan other than a
Cooperative Loan is located in a federally designated flood area, the hazard
insurance to be maintained for such Mortgage Loan shall include flood insurance.
All such flood insurance shall be in such amounts as are required under
applicable guidelines of FNMA. The Company shall be under no obligation to
require that any Mortgagor maintain earthquake or other additional insurance and
shall be under no obligation itself to maintain any such additional insurance on
property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance. If the Company shall obtain and maintain a
blanket policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans
(whether or not including Cooperative Loans), it shall conclusively be deemed to
have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first sentence of this
Section 3.06, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case the Company shall, in the event that there
shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy
complying with the first sentence of this Section 3.06, and there shall have
been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, credit to the Mortgage
Loan Payment Record the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy
because of such deductible clause.
Section 3.07. Assumption and Modification Agreements. (a) In any case in which
property subject to a Mortgage has been or is about to be conveyed by the
Mortgagor, the Company shall exercise its right to accelerate the maturity of
such Mortgage Loan under any "due-on-sale" clause applicable thereto, unless in
the reasonable discretion of the Company, such exercise would adversely affect
or jeopardize coverage under the related Primary Insurance Policy, if any;
provided, however, that if the Company is prevented, as provided in Section
3.07(b), from enforcing any such clause, the Company is authorized to make or
enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the Person to
whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such
Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and the Mortgagor remains liable
thereon. In connection with any such assumption and modification agreement, the
Company shall apply its then current underwriting standards to such Person. The
Company shall not make or enter into any such assumption and modification
agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the circumstances) it
shall have received confirmation of the continued effectiveness of any
applicable Primary Insurance Policy and hazard insurance policy. The Company
shall notify the Trustee that any assumption and modification agreement has been
completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original copy thereof, which copy
shall be added by the Trustee to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all
purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all
other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. In connection with
any such agreement, the Mortgage Rate, mortgage term and any other material term
of such Mortgage Loan shall not be changed. Any fee collected by the Company for
entering into any such agreement will be retained by the Company as additional
servicing compensation.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 3.07(a) or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Company 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, or transfer of
the property subject to a Mortgage without the assumption
thereof, by operation of law or any assumption or transfer
which the Company reasonably believes it may be restricted by
law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
Section 3.08. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. (a) The Company shall
foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties
securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as
to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments pursuant to Section 3.02. In connection with such foreclosure or other
conversion the Company shall, consistent with Section 3.05, follow such
practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be
normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities. The foregoing is
subject to the proviso that the Company shall not be required to expend its own
funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any
property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration or foreclosure will
increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Certificateholders
after reimbursement to itself for such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will
be recoverable to it either through Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be entitled to recover
legal expenses incurred in connection with foreclosure proceedings where the
Mortgage Loan is reinstated and such foreclosure proceedings are terminated
prior to completion, other than sums received from the Mortgagor for such
expenses.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Company shall be under no obligation to foreclose upon or otherwise convert the
ownership of any Mortgaged Property which it believes may be contaminated with
or affected by hazardous or toxic wastes, materials or substances. The Company
may, but shall not be obligated to, make such determination on the basis of a
Phase I environmental assessment with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.
Neither the Trustee nor the Company shall be liable to the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders if, based on the Company's belief that such contamination or
effect exists, the Company does not foreclose upon or otherwise convert the
ownership of a Mortgaged Property. In addition, neither the Trustee nor the
Company shall be liable to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders if, based on
the Company's belief that no such contamination or effect exists, the Company
forecloses upon a Mortgaged Property and the Trustee or its nominee on behalf of
the Trust Fund takes title to such Mortgaged Property, and thereafter such
Mortgaged Property is determined to be so contaminated or affected.
(b) In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired
in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or
certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its
nominee on behalf of the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding any such
acquisition of title and cancellation of the related Mortgage
Loan, such Mortgage Loan shall (except for purposes of Section
9.01) be considered to be an Outstanding Mortgage Loan until
such time as the Mortgaged Property shall be sold and such
Mortgage Loan becomes a Liquidated Mortgage Loan. Consistent
with the foregoing, for purposes of all calculations hereunder
so long as such Mortgage Loan shall be considered to be an
Outstanding Mortgage Loan, it shall be assumed that the
related Mortgage Note and its amortization schedule in effect
on and after such acquisition of title (after giving effect to
any previous Principal Prepayments and Deficient Valuations
incurred subsequent to the related Bankruptcy Coverage
Termination Date and before any adjustment thereto by reason
of any bankruptcy (other than as aforesaid) or any similar
proceeding or any moratorium or similar waiver or grace
period) remain in effect (notwithstanding that the
indebtedness evidenced by such Mortgage Note shall have been
discharged), subject to adjustment to reflect the application
of REO Proceeds received in any month. REO Proceeds received
in any month shall be applied to the payment of the
installments of principal due and interest accrued on the
related REO Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of such
Mortgage Note. REO Proceeds received in any month in excess of
the Amortization Payment for such month due on any REO
Mortgage Loan shall be treated as a Principal Prepayment
received in respect of such Mortgage Loan.
(c) In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged
Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a
default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Company
shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to the close of
the third calendar year after the year of its acquisition by
the Trust Fund unless (a) the Trustee shall have been supplied
with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by
the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such
period (and specifying the period beyond such period for which
the Mortgaged Property may be held) will not result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust
Fund as defined in section 860F of the Code, or cause the
REMIC established hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
any time that any Certificates are outstanding, in which case
the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property
(subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of
Counsel), or (b) the Trustee (at the Company's expense) or the
Company shall have applied for, not later than 61 days prior
to the expiration of such period, an extension of such period
in the manner contemplated by section 856(e)(3) of the Code,
in which case such period shall be extended by the time period
permitted by section 856(e)(3) of the Code. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property
acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to
continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of
income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund or sold in such a
manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such
Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify at any time as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of section
860G(a)(8) of the Code, (ii) subject the Trust Fund to the
imposition of any federal or state income taxes on "net income
from foreclosure property" with respect to such Mortgaged
Property within the meaning of section 860G(c) of the Code, or
(iii) cause the sale of such Mortgaged Property to result in
the receipt by the Trust Fund of any income from non-permitted
assets as described in section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code,
unless the Company has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless
the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such
taxes.
(d) Any collection of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds
will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to
reimburse the Company for any related unreimbursed Liquidation
Expenses and to reimburse the Company or the Trustee, as
applicable, for any related unreimbursed Monthly Advances;
second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan at
the Mortgage Rate from the date to which interest was last
paid or advanced to the Due Date prior to the Distribution
Date on which such amounts are to be distributed; and third,
as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount
so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of
accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the
amount of such recovery will be allocated between the
Servicing Fee and interest at the Net Mortgage Rate in
proportion to the amount of such accrued interest which would
have been allocated to each such category in the absence of
any shortfall.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Company shall have the right to enter into an agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto with any Person
that is the Holder of 100% of the Class B5 Certificates
(provided that such form may be revised to delete the option
on the part of such Person to purchase a defaulted Mortgage
Loan as set forth in Section 2.02(f) thereof). Prior to
entering into any such agreement with any Person, the Company
shall obtain a certification from such Person to the effect
that (i) such Person is not an "affiliate" (within the meaning
of the Prohibited Transaction Exemption) of the Trustee and
(ii) such Person will not purchase any Certificates if such
purchase would cause such Person to hold more than a ten
percent interest in the Mortgage Pool. It is understood that
the right of the Company to be reimbursed for Monthly Advances
and Nonrecoverable Advances under this Agreement shall not be
affected in any way by the provisions of any such agreement.
The Trustee hereby agrees to perform such obligations as may
be expressly required of it pursuant to the provisions of such
agreement and to promptly notify each party to such agreement
if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee (with direct
responsibility for administration of this Agreement) becomes
aware of any discussions, plans or events that might lead to
the Trustee's becoming an "affiliate" (within the meaning of
the Prohibited Transaction Exemption) of any Person with which
the Company has entered into such agreement, provided that the
contents of any such notification shall be kept confidential
by the parties to such agreement. The Company agrees to
promptly notify the Trustee upon entering into any such
agreement. In addition, the Company shall provide the Trustee
with such information as may be necessary for the Trustee to
perform its obligations thereunder, including written
instructions, clearly identifying the source, amount and
application of funds to be deposited or withdrawn from the
Collateral Fund (as defined in such agreement). The Trustee
shall provide the Company with such information concerning
credits and debits to the Collateral Fund on account of
income, gains and losses realized from Collateral Fund
Permitted Investments (as defined in such agreement), and
costs associated with the purchase and sale thereof, as the
Company may request in order to prepare the instructions
described in the preceding sentence.
In addition, subject to the provisions of the preceding paragraph,
the Company shall have the right to enter into an agreement substantially in the
form of Exhibit K hereto with the Person that is the Holder of 100% of the Class
B4 Certificates, provided that (i) such Person is also the Holder of 100% of the
Class B5 Certificates, (ii) such Person shall have no rights under such
agreement until the date on which the Class Certificate Principal Balance of the
Class B5 Certificates has been reduced to zero, and (iii) any rights of such
Person under such agreement shall terminate in the event that such Person
transfers, directly or indirectly, the Class B4 Certificates to any other
Person.
(f) Additional Collateral may be liquidated and the proceeds
applied to cover any shortfalls upon the liquidation of a
Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that the Trust Fund in
no event shall acquire ownership of the Additional Collateral
unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel
that such ownership shall not cause the Trust Fund to fail to
qualify as a REMIC or subject the REMIC to any tax.
Section 3.09. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment
in full of any Mortgage Loan, the Company will immediately notify the Trustee
(or Custodian, if applicable) by a certification (which certification shall
include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with
such payment which are required to be credited to the Mortgage Loan Payment
Record pursuant to Section 3.02 have been so credited) of a Servicing Officer
and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. If a Buydown Mortgage
Loan is the subject of a Principal Prepayment in full during the related Buydown
Period, the related Buydown Funds will be applied or returned to the Person
entitled thereto in accordance with the terms of such Buydown Mortgage Loan.
Upon receipt of such certification and request in form satisfactory to the
Trustee (or Custodian, if applicable), the Trustee (or Custodian, if applicable)
shall promptly, but in any event within five Business Days, release the related
Mortgage File to the Company; provided, that the Trustee (or Custodian, if
applicable) shall not be responsible for any delay in the release of a Mortgage
File resulting from acts beyond its control, including without limitation, acts
of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war or terrorism, epidemics,
nationalization, governmental regulations imposed after the fact, fire,
communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or
other disasters. Upon any such payment in full, the Company is authorized to
execute, pursuant to the authorization contained in Section 3.01, an instrument
of satisfaction regarding such Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction shall
be recorded by the Company if required by applicable law and be delivered to the
Person entitled thereto, it being understood and agreed that no expenses
incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction shall be reimbursed
from amounts at the time credited to the Mortgage Loan Payment Record. From time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan
(including, without limitation, collection under any Primary Insurance Policy),
the Trustee (or Custodian) shall, upon request of the Company and delivery to
the Trustee (and Custodian, if applicable) of a receipt signed by a Servicing
Officer, release the related Mortgage File to the Company. The Trustee shall,
upon request of the Company, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the
prosecution of any such proceedings. Such receipt shall obligate the Company to
return the Mortgage File to the Trustee (or Custodian) when the need therefor by
the Company no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in
which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that
hereinabove specified, the receipt shall be released by the Trustee (or
Custodian) to the Company.
Section 3.10. Servicing Compensation; Payment of Certain Expenses by the
Company. (a) As compensation for its activities and obligations hereunder, the
Company shall be entitled to withhold and pay to itself out of each payment
received by it on account of interest on each Mortgage Loan (including the
portion of any Buydown Funds applied to the related Buydown Mortgage Loan for
the applicable period) an amount equal to the Servicing Fee. The aggregate of
the Servicing Fees payable to the Company on any Distribution Date shall be
reduced by the amount of any Compensating Interest Payment for such Distribution
Date. Additional servicing compensation in the form of Prepayment Interest
Excess, assumption fees, modification fees, late payment charges, interest
income or gain with respect to amounts deposited in the Certificate Account and
invested by the Company or otherwise shall be retained by the Company, subject
to Section 3.10(b), if applicable. The Company shall be required to pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder (including
payment of Trustee fees and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated
hereunder to be for the account of the Certificateholders) and shall not be
entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in Sections 3.01, 3.03,
3.04 and 3.08.
(b) The Company may, as a condition to granting any request by a
Mortgagor for any consent, modification, waiver or amendment
or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is in the
Company's discretion pursuant to the terms of the instruments
evidencing or securing the related Mortgage Loan and is
permitted by other sections of this Agreement, require (to the
extent permitted by applicable law) that such Mortgagor pay to
it a reasonable or customary fee in accordance with the
schedule set forth as Exhibit H (which may be amended from
time to time by provision of a revised schedule of such fees
to the Trustee, whereupon such revised schedule shall be
deemed to be Exhibit H hereunder) for the additional services
performed in connection with such request, together with any
related costs and expenses incurred by it. Such fees shall be
additional servicing compensation to the Company.
Section 3.11. Reports to the Trustee. Not later than 15 days after each
Distribution Date, the Company shall forward to the Trustee a statement,
certified by a Servicing Officer, setting forth the status of the Mortgage Loan
Payment Record as of the close of business on such Distribution Date and
showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate of credits to
the Mortgage Loan Payment Record for each category of credit specified in
Section 3.02 and each category of debit specified in Section 3.04.
Section 3.12. Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Company will deliver to the
Trustee, on or before March 31 of each year, beginning with March 31, 2001, an
Officer's Certificate stating that (a) a review of the activities of the Company
during the preceding calendar year and of its performance under this Agreement
has been made under such Officer's supervision and (b) to the best of such
Officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all its
material obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has
been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such
default known to such Officer and the nature and status thereof.
Section 3.13. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
On or before March 31 of each year, beginning with March 31, 2001, the
Company shall:
(a) furnish to a firm of independent public accountants (which may
also render other services to the Company) a statement
substantially to the effect that the Company has complied in
all material respects with the minimum servicing standards set
forth in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers (the "Minimum Servicing Standards") with respect to
the mortgage loans in the Company's servicing portfolio (which
may exclude home equity loans) or, if there has been material
noncompliance with such servicing standards, containing a
description of such noncompliance; and
(b) at its expense cause such firm of independent public
accountants to furnish a report to the Trustee stating its
opinion as to the Company's assertion contained in the
statement delivered pursuant to Section 3.13(a), which opinion
shall be based on an examination conducted by such firm in
accordance with the standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants, including
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's
compliance with the Minimum Servicing Standards. Such opinion
shall be to the effect that the Company has complied in all
material respects with the Minimum Servicing Standards with
respect to the mortgage loan portfolio described in the
Company's statement delivered pursuant to Section 3.13(a)
hereof or if there has been material noncompliance with the
Minimum Servicing Standards, shall contain a description of
such noncompliance in accordance with applicable accounting
standards. In rendering such report, such firm may rely, as to
matters relating to direct servicing of Mortgage Loans by any
primary servicer, upon comparable reports of independent
public accountants with respect to such primary servicer.
Section 3.14. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the
Mortgage Loans. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall
provide to the Trustee, Certificateholders which are regulated insurance
entities and the applicable insurance regulatory agencies thereof,
Certificateholders which are federally insured savings and loan associations,
the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and
examiners thereof access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or of
such insurance regulatory agencies, as the case may be, such access being
afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal
business hours at the offices of the Company. Nothing in this Section 3.14 shall
derogate from the obligation of the Company to observe any applicable law
prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure
of the Company to provide access as provided in this Section 3.14 as a result of
such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.14.
Section 3.15. Maintenance of Certain Servicing Policies. The Company shall
during the term of its service as servicer maintain in force (i) a policy or
policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its
obligations as servicer hereunder and (ii) a fidelity bond in respect of its
officers, employees or agents. Each such policy or policies and bond shall,
together, comply with the requirements from time to time of FNMA for persons
performing servicing for mortgage loans purchased by such association.
Section 3.16. Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The Company shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase (i) any Defaulted Mortgage
Loan or (ii) any Mortgage Loan as to which the Company has a right against the
originator or former owner of such Mortgage Loan for breach of a representation
or warranty regarding the characteristics of such Mortgage Loan made by such
originator or former owner, in each case for a price equal to the Purchase Price
therefor. Any such purchase shall be accomplished as provided in Section 4.04(a)
hereof. At the time of any such repurchase by the Company pursuant to clause
(ii) herein, the Company agrees either promptly to (x) liquidate such Mortgage
Loan, to the extent the Company's rights against such originator or former owner
consist for a claim for indemnity or (y) transfer such Mortgage Loan to such
originator or former owner at a price not less than the Purchase Price of such
Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts otherwise distributable pursuant to
clauses (vii), (x), (xiii), (xvi), (xix) and (xxii) on any Distribution Date
shall be reduced, in inverse order of priority, by any amount distributed
pursuant to clause (iv) on such date, such that such amount distributed pursuant
to clause (iv) on such date shall be applied first to reduce the amount
distributable pursuant to clause (xxii), and then, to the extent of any excess,
applied second, to reduce the amount distributable pursuant to clause (xix),
third, to reduce the amount distributable pursuant to clause (xvi), fourth, to
reduce the amount distributable pursuant to clause (xiii), fifth, to reduce the
amount distributable pursuant to clause (x) and sixth, to reduce the amount
distributable pursuant to clause (vii).
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to the
holder of the Class R Certificate any remaining Available
Funds for such Distribution Date after application of all
amounts described in clause (a) of this Section 4.01, together
with any Unanticipated Recoveries received by the Company in
the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution
Date and not distributed on such Distribution Date to the
holders of outstanding Certificates of any other Class
pursuant to Section 4.01(f), plus any amounts distributable to
the holder of the Class R Certificate pursuant to Sections
4.01(e) and 4.10(e). Any distributions pursuant to this
subsection (b) shall not reduce the Class Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class R Certificate.
(c) If on any Distribution Date the Class Certificate Principal
Balances of the Junior Certificates have each been reduced to
zero, the amount distributable to the Senior Certificates
other than the Class PO Certificates pursuant to Section
4.01(a)(iii) for such Distribution Date and each succeeding
Distribution Date shall be allocated among such Classes of
Senior Certificates, pro rata, on the basis of their
respective Class Certificate Principal Balances immediately
prior to such Distribution Date, regardless of the priorities
and amounts set forth in Section 4.01(a)(iii).
(d) If on any Distribution Date (i) the Class Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class M Certificates or any Class of
Class B Certificates for which the related Prepayment
Distribution Trigger was satisfied on such Distribution Date
is reduced to zero and (ii) amounts distributable pursuant to
clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) of the Junior Optimal Principal
Amount remain undistributed on such Distribution Date after
all amounts otherwise distributable on such date pursuant to
clauses (iv) through (xxii) of Section 4.01(a) have been
distributed, such amounts shall be distributed on such
Distribution Date to the remaining Classes of Junior
Certificates in order of priority, such that no such
distribution shall be made to any Class of Junior Certificates
while a prior such Class is outstanding.
(e) (i) On each Distribution Date prior to the earlier to occur of
the Cross-Over Date and the next Distribution Date after the
Distribution Date on which the principal portion of any
Realized Loss is allocated to any Class of Designated Retail
Certificates, distributions in reduction of the Class
Certificate Principal Balances of any Designated Retail
Certificates will be made in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.10.
With respect to any Class of Designated Retail Certificates, upon
the earliest of (A) the Cross-Over Date, (B) the next Distribution Date after
the Distribution Date on which the principal portion of any Realized Loss is
allocated to such Class of Designated Retail Certificates and (C) the next
Distribution Date after the Distribution Date on which the Class Certificate
Principal Balance of such Class of Designated Retail Certificates has been
reduced to zero, (x) to the extent the balance of funds remaining in the related
Rounding Account is less than $999.99, the balance in such Rounding Account
shall be restored to $999.99 (or, if less, the sum of such remaining balance and
the amount so distributable) from Available Funds otherwise available for
distribution on all outstanding Classes of Certificates and (y) such Rounding
Account shall be cleared and terminated, and the amounts therein shall be
distributed to the Class R Certificates on such date (which distribution shall
not reduce the Class Certificate Principal Balance thereof)
(ii) As provided in Section 4.10(f), notwithstanding any provisions
herein to the contrary, on the earlier to occur of the
Cross-Over Date and the next Distribution Date after the
Distribution Date on which the principal portion of any
Realized Loss is allocated to any Class of Designated Retail
Certificates, and on each subsequent Distribution Date,
distributions in reduction of the Class Certificate Principal
Balances of any Class of Designated Retail Certificates shall
be made on a pro rata basis among the outstanding Certificates
of the respective Class, based on the Percentage Interest in
each such Class represented by each Certificate. The Trustee
shall notify the Depository prior to the first Distribution
Date on which distributions in respect of principal on any
Class of Designated Retail Certificates are to be made on a
pro rata basis in accordance with the preceding sentence. On
the earlier to occur of the Cross-Over Date and the next
Distribution Date after the Distribution Date on which the
principal portion of any Realized Loss is allocated to any
Class of Designated Retail Certificates, and on each
subsequent Distribution Date, the Trustee shall not, and the
Depository is not authorized to, make distributions or
payments in respect of any Class of Designated Retail
Certificates in accordance with any Principal Distribution
Request or by Random Lot.
(f) In the event that in any calendar month the Company recovers an
amount (an "Unanticipated Recovery") in respect of principal of a
Mortgage Loan which had previously been allocated as a Realized Loss
to any Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.03, on the
Distribution Date in the next succeeding calendar month the Trustee
shall withdraw from the Certificate Account and distribute to the
holders of each outstanding Class to which such Realized Loss had
previously been allocated its share (determined as described in the
succeeding paragraph) of such Unanticipated Recovery in an amount
not to exceed the amount of such Realized Loss previously allocated
to such Class. When the Class Certificate Principal Balance of a
Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, the holders of such
Class shall not be entitled to any share of an Unanticipated
Recovery, and such Unanticipated Recovery shall be allocated among
all outstanding Classes of Certificates entitled thereto in
accordance with the preceding sentence, subject to the remainder of
this subsection (f). In the event that (i) any Unanticipated
Recovery remains undistributed in accordance with the preceding
sentence or (ii) the amount of an Unanticipated Recovery exceeds the
amount of the Realized Loss previously allocated to any outstanding
Classes with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, on the applicable
Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute to the holders of all
outstanding Classes of the related Certificates to which Realized
Losses had previously been allocated and not reimbursed their pro
rata share (determined as described below) of such excess in an
amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of any Realized Loss
previously allocated to such Class with respect to any other
Mortgage Loan that has not been recovered in accordance with this
subsection (f). Any distributions made pursuant to this subsection
(f) shall not reduce the Class Certificate Principal Balance of the
related Certificate.
For purposes of the preceding paragraph, the share of an
Unanticipated Recovery allocable to any Class of Certificates with respect to a
Mortgage Loan shall be (i) with respect to the Class PO Certificates, based on
the applicable PO Percentage of the principal portion of the Realized Loss
previously allocated thereto with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or all Mortgage
Loans for purposes of the next to last sentence of the preceding paragraph), and
(ii) with respect to any other Class of Certificates, based on its pro rata
share (in proportion to the Class Certificate Principal Balances thereof with
respect to such Distribution Date) of the applicable Non-PO Percentage of the
principal portion of any such Realized Loss previously allocated with respect to
such Mortgage Loan (or Loans); provided, however, that (i) the share of an
Unanticipated Recovery allocable to a Class PO Certificate with respect to any
Mortgage Loan (or Loans) shall be reduced by the aggregate amount previously
distributed to such Class on account of the applicable Class PO Deferred Amount
in respect of such Mortgage Loan (or Loans) and (ii) the amount by which the
distributions to the Class PO Certificates have been so reduced shall be
distributed to the Classes of Certificates described in clause (ii) of the
preceding paragraph in the same proportion as described in such clause (ii). For
purposes of the preceding sentence, any Class PO Deferred Amount distributed to
a Class PO Certificate on previous Distribution Dates shall be deemed to have
been allocated in respect of the Mortgage Loans as to which the applicable PO
Percentage of the principal portion of Realized Losses has previously been
allocated to such Class on a pro rata basis (based on the amount of Realized
Losses so allocated).
Section 4.02. Method of Distribution. (a) Except as set forth in Section 4.10 in
respect of any Designated Retail Certificates, all distributions with respect to
each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be made pro rata
among the outstanding Certificates of such Class, based on the Percentage
Interest in such Class represented by each Certificate. Payments to the
Certificateholders on each Distribution Date will be made by the Trustee to the
Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date (other than as provided
in Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution) by check or money order
mailed to a Certificateholder at the address appearing in the Certificate
Register, or upon written request by such Certificateholder to the Trustee made
not later than the applicable Record Date, by wire transfer to a U.S. depository
institution acceptable to the Trustee, or by such other means of payment as such
Certificateholder and the Trustee shall agree.
(b) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be
paid to the Depository, which shall credit the amount of such
distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in
accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant
shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the
Certificate Owners that it represents and to each Financial
Intermediary for which it acts as agent. Each Financial Intermediary
shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners
that it represents. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.10(g),
the Depository shall be responsible for the allocation of the
aggregate amount of distributions in reduction of the Class
Certificate Principal Balances of any Class of Designated Retail
Certificates among the Depository Participants in accordance with
Section 4.10, and each Depository Participant (and each respective
Financial Intermediary for which such Depository Participant acts as
agent) shall be responsible for the allocation of the amount
allocated thereto among the related Certificate Owners. All such
credits and disbursements with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate
are to be made by the Depository and the Depository Participants in
accordance with the provisions of the applicable Certificates.
Neither the Trustee nor the Company shall have any responsibility
therefor except as otherwise provided by applicable law.
(c) The Trustee shall withhold or cause to be withheld such amounts as
it reasonably determines are required by the Code (giving full
effect to any exemptions from withholding and related certifications
required to be furnished by Certificateholders or Certificate Owners
and any reductions to withholding by virtue of any bilateral tax
treaties and any applicable certification required to be furnished
by Certificateholders or Certificate Owners with respect thereto)
from distributions to be made to Non-U.S. Persons. If the Trustee
reasonably determines that a more accurate determination of the
amount required to be withheld for a distribution can be made within
a reasonable period after the scheduled date for such distribution,
it may hold such distribution in trust for a holder of a Residual
Certificate until such determination can be made. For the purposes
of this paragraph, a "Non-U.S. Person" is (i) an individual other
than a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a partnership,
corporation or entity treated as a partnership or corporation for
U.S. federal income tax purposes not formed under the laws of the
United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia
(unless, in the case of a partnership, Treasury regulations provide
otherwise), (iii) any estate, the income of which is not subject to
U.S. federal income taxation, regardless of source, and (iv) any
trust, other than a trust that a court within the United States is
able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the
trust and one or more U.S. Persons have the authority to control all
substantial decisions of the trust.
Section 4.03. Allocation of Losses. (a) On or prior to each
Determination Date, the Company shall determine the amount of any Realized
Loss in respect of each Mortgage Loan that occurred during the immediately
preceding calendar month.
(b) With respect to any Distribution Date, the principal portion of each
Realized Loss (other than any Excess Loss) shall be allocated as
follows:
(i) the applicable PO Percentage of the principal portion of any
such Realized Loss shall be allocated to the Class PO
Certificates until the Class Certificate Principal Balance
thereof has been reduced to zero; and
(ii) the applicable Non-PO Percentage of the principal portion of
any such Realized Loss shall be allocated in the following
order of priority:
first, to the Class B5 Certificates until the Class
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
second, to the Class B4 Certificates until the Class
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
third, to the Class B3 Certificates until the Class
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
fourth, to the Class B2 Certificates until the Class
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
fifth, to the Class B1 Certificates until the Class
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
sixth, to the Class M Certificates until the Class
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
and
seventh, to the Classes of Senior Certificates other than the
Class PO Certificates, pro rata, in accordance with their Class
Certificate Principal Balances; provided, that any such loss
allocated to any Class of Accrual Certificates (and any Accrual
Component) shall be allocated (subject to Section 4.03(d)) on the
basis of the lesser of (x) the Class Certificate Principal Balance
(or Component Principal Balance) thereof immediately prior to the
applicable Distribution Date and (y) the Class Certificate Principal
Balance (or Component Principal Balance) thereof on the Closing Date
(as reduced by any Realized Losses previously allocated thereto).
(c) With respect to any Distribution Date, the principal portion of any
Excess Loss (other than Excess Bankruptcy Losses attributable to
Debt Service Reductions) shall be allocated as follows: (1) the PO
Percentage of any such loss shall be allocated to the Class PO
Certificates, and (2) the Non-PO Percentage of any such loss shall
be allocated to each Class of Certificates other than the Class PO
Certificates, pro rata, based on the respective Class Certificate
Principal Balances thereof; provided, that any such loss allocated
to any Class of Accrual Certificates (and any Accrual Component)
shall be allocated (subject to Section 4.03(d)) on the basis of the
lesser of (x) the Class Certificate Principal Balance (or Component
Principal Balance) thereof immediately prior to the applicable
Distribution Date and (y) the Class Certificate Principal Balance
(or Component Principal Balance) thereof on the Closing Date (as
reduced by any Realized Losses previously allocated thereto).
(d) Any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Certificates pursuant to
Section 4.03(b) or (c) shall be allocated among the Certificates of
such Class in proportion to their respective Certificate Principal
Balances. In addition, any Realized Losses allocated to any Class of
Component Certificates on a Distribution Date shall be allocated in
reduction of the Component Principal Balances of the related
Components (other than any Notional Component) in proportion to
their respective Component Principal Balances immediately prior to
such Distribution Date. Any allocation of Realized Losses pursuant
to this paragraph (d) shall be accomplished by reducing the
Certificate Principal Balance (or, in the case of any Component, the
Component Principal Balance) of the related Certificates (or
Components) on the related Distribution Date in accordance with
Section 4.03(e).
(e) Realized Losses allocated in accordance with this Section 4.03 shall
be allocated on the Distribution Date in the month following the
month in which such loss was incurred and, in the case of the
principal portion thereof, after giving effect to distributions made
on such Distribution Date, except that the aggregate amount of
Realized Losses to be allocated to the Class PO Certificates on such
Distribution Date will be taken into account in determining
distributions in respect of any Class PO Deferred Amount for such
date.
(f) On each Distribution Date, the Company shall determine the
Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount, if any. Any such
Subordinate Certificate Writedown Amount shall effect, without
duplication of any other provision in this Section 4.03 that
provides for a reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of the
Subordinate Certificates, a corresponding reduction in the
Certificate Principal Balance of the Subordinate Certificates, which
reduction shall occur on such Distribution Date after giving effect
to distributions made on such Distribution Date.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such allocation of any Realized
Loss shall be made on a Distribution Date to a Class of Certificates
to the extent that such allocation would result in the reduction of
the aggregate Certificate Principal Balances of all the Certificates
as of such Distribution Date, after giving effect to all
distributions and prior allocations of Realized Losses on such date,
to an amount less than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans as of the first day of the month of such
Distribution Date, less any Deficient Valuations occurring on or
prior to the Bankruptcy Coverage Termination Date (such limitation,
the "Loss Allocation Limitation").
Section 4.04. Monthly Advances; Purchases of Defaulted Mortgage Loans. (a) The
Company shall be required to make Monthly Advances in the manner and to the
extent provided herein. Prior to the close of business on each Determination
Date, the Company shall determine (i) the amount of the Monthly Advance which it
is required to make on the related Distribution Date and (ii) whether it has
elected to purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Loans on such Distribution
Date. If the Company so elects to purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loans or other
Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 3.16 (or is required to purchase any
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03(a)), no Monthly Advance shall be
required with respect thereto for the month in which such purchase occurs. The
Company shall include information as to each of such determinations in the
Servicer's Certificate furnished by it to the Trustee in accordance with Section
4.06 and shall be obligated to transfer to the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 3.02(d) on or before 11:00 a.m. New York time on the Business Day next
preceding the following Distribution Date in next-day funds the respective
amounts applicable to such determinations appearing in such Servicer's
Certificate. Upon receipt by the Trustee (and Custodian, if applicable) of
written notification signed by a Servicing Officer of any such deposit relating
to the purchase by the Company of such a Mortgage Loan, the Trustee (or
Custodian, as the case may be) shall release to the Company the related Mortgage
File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the
Company any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
(b) In the event that the Company transfers or expects to transfer less
than the Available Funds required to be deposited by it pursuant to
Section 3.02(d), the Company shall so notify the Trustee no later
than 9:00 a.m. on the Business Day preceding the related
Distribution Date, and the amount so transferred, if any, shall be
deemed to have been transferred first pursuant to clause (i) of the
definition of Available Funds, second pursuant to clause (iii) of
the definition of Available Funds, and third pursuant to clause (ii)
of the definition of Available Funds. Such notice shall specify each
Mortgage Loan delinquent as of the preceding Determination Date. In
such event, the Trustee shall make any Monthly Advance required to
be made hereunder, in the manner and to the extent required;
provided, the Trustee shall not be so obligated if prohibited by
applicable law.
(c) In the event that the Company is succeeded hereunder as servicer,
the obligation to make Monthly Advances in the manner and to the
extent required by Section 4.04(a) shall be assumed by the successor
servicer (subject to Section 7.02).
Section 4.05. Statements to Certificateholders. Each month, at least two
Business Days prior to each Distribution Date, the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee a statement (each, a "Distribution Date Statement") substantially in the
form of Exhibit J hereto. On the first two Distribution Dates immediately
following the Closing Date, the Trustee shall mail to each Certificateholder the
related Distribution Date Statement. Beginning on the second (or on any
succeeding) Distribution Date immediately following the Closing Date, the
Trustee may provide a notice that future Distribution Date Statements shall be
made available on the Trustee's website maintained on the internet; such notice
shall (a) specify the Trustee's website address, and (b) provide for any
Certificateholder to request any future Distribution Date Statement(s) to be
mailed to such requesting Certificateholder. If on the third (or on any
succeeding) Distribution Date immediately following the Closing Date the Trustee
elects to make available such Distribution Date Statements on the Trustee's
website maintained on the internet, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall
(y) make such Distribution Date Statements available on the Trustee's website,
and (z) mail the applicable Distribution Date Statement to any such
Certificateholder who so requests or has previously so requested. In addition,
the Trustee shall promptly notify the Certificateholders of any changes in the
internet address of the Trustee's website. If on any Distribution Date the
Trustee is unable to make or otherwise determines not to make the applicable
Distribution Date Statement available on the Trustee's website, then the Trustee
shall mail such Distribution Date Statement to each Certificateholder on such
Distribution Date. Each Distribution Date Statement shall set forth:
(i) The amount of such distribution to the Certificateholders of
each Class (and in respect of any Component), other than any
Notional Certificates (and any Notional Component), allocable
to principal, separately identifying the aggregate amount of
any Principal Prepayments included therein (including, for
this purpose, the Scheduled Principal Balances of all
Defaulted Mortgage Loans and Defective Mortgage Loans
purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03(b) or 3.16,
respectively, and any amounts deposited pursuant to Section
2.03(b) in connection with the substitution of any Mortgage
Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03(a), the proceeds of
which purchases or substitutions are being distributed on such
Distribution Date);
(ii) The amount of such distribution to the Certificateholders of
each Class (other than any Class of Principal Only
Certificates) allocable to interest, including any Accrual
Amount added to the Class Certificate Principal Balance or
Component Principal Balance of any Class of Accrual
Certificates or any Accrual Components;
(iii) The amount of servicing compensation paid to the Company
during the month preceding the month of distribution in
respect of the Mortgage Loans and such other customary
information as the Company deems necessary or desirable to
enable Certificateholders to prepare their tax returns;
(iv) The Pool Scheduled Principal Balance and the aggregate number
of the Mortgage Loans on the preceding Due Date after giving
effect to all distributions allocable to principal made on
such Distribution Date;
(v) The Class Certificate Principal Balance (or Notional Principal
Balance) of each Class, the Component Principal Balance of
each Component and the Certificate Principal Balance (or
Notional Principal Balance) of a Single Certificate of each
Class after giving effect to (i) all distributions allocable
to principal (or reductions in the Notional Principal Balance,
in the case of the Notional Certificates, or the addition of
any Accrual Amount, in the case of any Class of Accrual
Certificates) made on such Distribution Date and (ii) the
allocation of any Realized Losses and any Subordinate
Certificate Writedown Amount for such Distribution Date;
(vi) The Pay-out Rate applicable to each Class of Certificates;
(vii) The book value and unpaid principal balance of any real estate
acquired on behalf of Certificateholders through foreclosure,
or grant of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, of any
REO Mortgage Loan, and the number of the related Mortgage
Loans;
(viii)The aggregate Scheduled Principal Balances and number of
Mortgage Loans which, as of the close of business on the last
day of the month preceding the related Distribution Date, were
(a) delinquent as to a total of (x) 30-59 days, (y) 60-89 days
and (z) 90 days or more, and (b) in foreclosure;
(ix) The Scheduled Principal Balance of any Mortgage Loan replaced
pursuant to Section 2.03(b);
(x) The Certificate Interest Rates of any LIBOR Certificates, any
COFI Certificates and the Class S Certificates applicable to
the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date
and such Class;
(xi) The Senior Percentage, the Class A3 Percentage and the Junior
Percentage for such Distribution Date;
(xii) The Senior Prepayment Percentage, the Class A3 Prepayment
Distribution Percentage and the Junior Prepayment Percentage
for such Distribution Date; and
(xiii) The amount of such distribution to the Certificateholders of
each Class allocable to Unanticipated Recoveries.
In the case of information furnished pursuant to clauses (i) through
(iii) above, the amounts shall be expressed as a dollar amount per Single
Certificate.
In connection with any proposed transfer of a Certificate that is
purported to be made in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, the
Company shall be responsible for furnishing such information as may be required
thereunder to a proposed transferee. In furtherance of the Company's obligations
hereunder, the Company hereby instructs the Trustee, at the Company's expense
and on its behalf, and the Trustee agrees, to promptly make available to the
proposed transferee, upon request of the holder, (i) all statements furnished to
Certificateholders pursuant to this Section 4.05 on previous Distribution Dates,
(ii) all certificates furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.06 in prior
months, (iii) Officer's Certificates furnished to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 3.12 for the two years preceding such request, (iv) reports of
independent accountants furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.13 for
the two years preceding such request and (v) a copy of the Private Placement
Memorandum relating to such Certificate, together with any amendments or
supplements thereto issued by the Company, which may be accompanied by a legend
to the effect that the information contained in the Private Placement Memorandum
and any amendment or supplement thereto is current only as of its date and the
delivery thereof does not create an implication that such information is correct
as of any subsequent date of delivery (it being understood that the Company has
no obligation hereunder to update or supplement the Private Placement Memorandum
unless otherwise required pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4)) (which copy and legend
shall be furnished to the Trustee by the Company); provided, however, that the
Trustee shall in no event be required to make available such statements or
certificates pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above relating to Distribution
Dates occurring more than twenty-four months preceding the month in which such
request was received; provided, further, however, that notwithstanding the
Trustee's agreement as aforesaid to provide such materials to a proposed
transferee, the Trustee does not assume, and shall not thereby be deemed to have
assumed, any responsibility for compliance by the Company with Rule 144A
(subject to the Trustee's agreement set forth in the second sentence of this
paragraph) and shall be entitled to include a notice with such statements or
certificates to the effect that such materials have not been prepared or
assembled by the Trustee and that the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the
adequacy, sufficiency or contents thereof. In connection with any such proposed
transfer, the Company shall make available to the proposed holder, at the
request of the related transferor, such additional information, if any, as may
be required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4).
Section 4.06. Servicer's Certificate. Each month, not later than the
second Business Day next preceding each Distribution Date, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee a completed Servicer's Certificate.
Section 4.07. Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonments of Mortgaged Property.
The Trustee (or the Company on behalf of the Trustee) shall, in each year
beginning after 2000, make the reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any
Mortgaged Property as required by section 6050J of the Code. In order to
facilitate this reporting process, the Company, on or before January 15th of
each year, shall provide to the Trustee reports relating to each instance
occurring during the previous calendar year in which the Company (i) on behalf
of the Trustee acquires an interest in a Mortgaged Property through foreclosure
or other comparable conversion in full or partial satisfaction of a Mortgage
Loan, or (ii) knows or has reason to know that a Mortgaged Property has been
abandoned. Reports from the Company shall be in form and substance sufficient to
meet the reporting requirements imposed by section 6050J of the Code.
Section 4.08. Reduction of Servicing Fees by Compensating Interest Payments. The
aggregate amount of the Servicing Fees subject to retention by the Company as
servicer in respect of any Distribution Date shall be reduced by the amount of
any Compensating Interest Payment for such Distribution Date.
Section 4.09. Surety Bond. (a) If a Required Surety Payment is payable pursuant
to the Surety Bond with respect to any Pledged Asset Mortgage Loan, the Company
shall so notify the Trustee as soon as reasonably practicable and shall, on
behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, promptly
complete the notice in the form of Attachment 1 to the Surety Bond and shall
promptly submit such notice to the Surety as a claim for a Required Surety
Payment.
(b) Upon receipt of a Required Surety Payment from the Surety on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Company shall promptly credit such amount to the
Mortgage Loan Payment Record.
Section 4.10. Distributions to Holders of Designated Retail Certificates.
(a) Except as provided in subsections (d) and (f) below, on each
Distribution Date on which distributions in reduction of the Class Certificate
Principal Balance of a Class of Designated Retail Certificates are made, such
distributions will be made in the following order of priority:
(i) first, in respect of any Principal Distribution Request by the
personal representative of a Deceased Holder of such Class of
Certificates, a surviving tenant by the entirety, a surviving
joint tenant, a surviving tenant in common or such other
Person empowered to act on behalf of such Deceased Holder upon
his or her death, in an amount up to but not exceeding
$100,000 per request; and
(ii) second, in respect of any Principal Distribution Request by a
Living Holder of such Class of Certificates, in an amount up
to but not exceeding $10,000 per request.
Thereafter, distributions in respect of such Class submitted on
behalf of each Deceased Holder will be made as provided in clause (i) above up
to a second $100,000 per request and distributions in respect of such Class
submitted on behalf of each Living Holder will be made as provided in clause
(ii) above up to a second $10,000 per request. This sequence of priorities will
be repeated until all such requests have been honored to the extent of amounts
available for distribution in reduction of the Class Certificate Principal
Balance of such Class of Designated Retail Certificates.
Principal Distribution Requests presented on behalf of Deceased
Holders in accordance with the provisions of clause (i) above will be accepted
in the order of their receipt by the Depository. Principal Distribution Requests
presented in accordance with the provisions of clause (ii) above will be
accepted in the order of their receipt by the Depository after all requests
presented in accordance with clause (i) have been honored. All Principal
Distribution Requests with respect to any Distribution Date shall be made in
accordance with Section 4.10(c) below and must be received by the Depository no
later than the close of business on the related Record Date. Principal
Distribution Requests that are received by the Depository after the related
Record Date and requests, in either case, for distributions timely received but
not accepted with respect to any Distribution Date, will be treated as Principal
Distribution Requests on the next succeeding Distribution Date, and each
succeeding Distribution Date thereafter, until each such request is accepted or
is withdrawn as provided in Section 4.10(c). Requests on behalf of Deceased
Holders that are not so withdrawn shall retain their order of priority, all in
accordance with the procedures of the Depository and the Trustee. Upon the
transfer of beneficial ownership of any Designated Retail Certificate, any
Principal Distribution Request previously submitted with respect to such
Certificate will be deemed to have been withdrawn only upon the receipt by the
Trustee of notification of such withdrawal using a form required by the
Depository.
Principal Distribution Requests for a Class of Designated Retail
Certificates will be applied, in the aggregate, in an amount equal to the
portion of the Available Funds distributable to such Class of Certificates
pursuant to Section 4.01(a), plus any amounts available for distribution from
the related Rounding Account pursuant to Section 4.10(e), provided that the
aggregate distribution in reduction of the Class Certificate Principal Balance
of any Class of Designated Retail Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be
made in an integral multiple of $1,000, subject to Section 4.10(f).
(b) A "Deceased Holder" is a beneficial owner of a Designated
Retail Certificate who was living at the time such interest
was acquired and whose authorized personal representative,
surviving tenant by the entirety, surviving joint tenant or
surviving tenant in common or other Person empowered to act on
behalf of such beneficial owner upon his or her death, causes
to be furnished to the Trustee a certified copy of the death
certificate of such Deceased Holder, evidence of such person's
status as an authorized representative of the Deceased Holder,
such as surviving tenant (whether by the entirety, joint
tenancy or tenancy in common), which evidence shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee, and any additional evidence of
death required by and satisfactory to the Trustee and any tax
waivers requested by the Trustee. Designated Retail
Certificates beneficially owned by tenants by the entirety,
joint tenants or tenants in common will be considered to be
beneficially owned by a single owner. The death of a tenant by
the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common will be deemed
to be the death of the beneficial owner, and any Designated
Retail Certificates so beneficially owned will be eligible for
priority with respect to distributions in reduction of the
Class Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of
Certificates, subject to the limitations contained in this
Section 4.10. Designated Retail Certificates beneficially
owned by a trust will be considered to be beneficially owned
by each beneficiary of the trust to the extent of such
beneficiary's beneficial interest therein, but in no event
will a trust's beneficiaries collectively be deemed to be
beneficial owners of a number of individual Designated Retail
Certificates greater than the number of individual Designated
Retail Certificates of which such trust is the beneficial
owner. The death of a beneficiary of a trust will be deemed to
be the death of a beneficial owner of the Designated Retail
Certificates beneficially owned by the trust to the extent of
such beneficiary's beneficial interest in such trust. The
death of an individual who was a tenant by the entirety, joint
tenant or tenant in common in a tenancy that is the
beneficiary of a trust will be deemed to be the death of the
beneficiary of the trust. The death of a person who,
immediately prior to his or her death, was entitled to
substantially all of the beneficial ownership interest in a
Designated Retail Certificate will be deemed to be the death
of the beneficial owner of such Certificate regardless of the
registration of ownership of such Certificate, if such
beneficial ownership interest can be established to the
satisfaction of the Trustee. The Trustee's decision regarding
whether a Deceased Holder's beneficial interest is substantial
for purposes of the preceding sentence shall be conclusive and
binding. Such beneficial interest will be deemed to exist in
typical cases of street name or nominee ownership, ownership
by a trustee, ownership under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act
and community property or other joint ownership arrangements
between a husband and wife. Beneficial interests shall include
the power to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of a
Designated Retail Certificate, and the right to receive the
proceeds therefrom, as well as interest and distributions in
reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of such
Certificates payable with respect thereto. The Trustee shall
not be under any duty to determine independently the
occurrence of the death of any beneficial owner. The Trustee
may rely entirely upon documentation delivered to it in
establishing the eligibility of any beneficial owner to
receive the priority accorded Deceased Holders in Section
4.10(a). Expenses incurred by the Trustee in an effort to
determine the beneficial ownership interest with respect to
any Principal Distribution Request presented on behalf of a
Deceased Holder, including, without limitation, attorneys
fees, shall be paid by the Person presenting such Principal
Distribution Request.
(c) Requests for distributions in reduction of the Certificate
Principal Balance of a Class of Designated Retail Certificate
must be made by delivering a Principal Distribution Request
therefor to the Depository Participant or Financial
Intermediary that maintains the account evidencing the
beneficial owner's interest in such Certificate. Such
Depository Participant or Financial Intermediary should in
turn make the request of the Depository (or, in the case of an
Financial Intermediary, such Financial Intermediary should
notify the related Depository Participant of such request,
which Depository Participant should make the request of the
Depository) on a form required by the Depository and provided
to the Depository Participant. In the case of a request on
behalf of a Deceased Holder, a certified copy of the death
certificate and any additional appropriate evidence of death
and any tax waivers must be forwarded to the Trustee under
separate cover. Any such requests of Deceased Holders that are
incomplete may not be honored by the Trustee and, if not
honored, will lose their priority and must be resubmitted in
proper form. Upon receipt of such Principal Distribution
Request, the Depository will date and time stamp such request
and forward such request to the Trustee. Such requests will be
honored on any Distribution Date only to the extent that they
are received by the Depository on or before the Record Date
for such Distribution Date. The Depository may establish such
procedures as it deems fair and equitable to establish the
order of receipt of requests for such distributions received
by it on the same day. Principal Distribution Requests
delivered to the Depository after the Record Date for a
particular Distribution Date and requests received in a timely
manner but not accepted with respect to a particular
Distribution Date will be treated as Principal Distribution
Requests for the next succeeding Distribution Date and each
succeeding Distribution Date thereafter until each request is
accepted or is withdrawn as provided below. In the case of
Principal Distribution Requests on behalf of Living Holders,
the Depository will establish a new order of priority for each
Distribution Date. This order will apply both to previously
unsatisfied Principal Distribution Requests and to newly
submitted requests. A Principal Distribution Request submitted
on behalf of a Living Holder who later dies will become
entitled to the priority of a newly submitted request on
behalf of a Deceased Holder upon satisfaction of the
requirements set forth above for requests of a Deceased
Holder. Such priority will be effective for each subsequent
Distribution Date if the Trustee has received a certified copy
of the death certificate for such Deceased Holder and any
additional appropriate evidence of death and any requested tax
waivers by the last business day of the preceding calendar
month. Each Principal Distribution Request submitted by a
beneficial owner of a Designated Retail Certificate will be
held by the Depository until such request has been accepted or
has been withdrawn in writing as provided herein. Neither the
Trustee nor the Company shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of Principal Distribution Requests or Withdrawals (as
defined below) of such requests by the Depository, a
Depository Participant or any Financial Intermediary.
In the event that any Principal Distribution Requests are rejected
by the Trustee for failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 4.10,
the Trustee shall return such requests to the appropriate Depository Participant
with a copy to the Depository with an explanation as to the reason for such
rejection.
The Trustee shall maintain a list of those Depository Participants
representing the Certificate Owners of Designated Retail Certificates that have
submitted Principal Distribution Requests, together with the order of receipt
and the amounts of such requests. The Trustee shall notify the Depository and
the appropriate Depository Participants as to which requests should be honored
on each Distribution Date. Requests shall be honored by the Depository in
accordance with the procedures, and subject to the priorities and limitations,
described in this Section 4.10. The exact procedures to be followed by the
Trustee and the Depository for purposes of determining such priorities and
limitations shall be those established from time to time by the Trustee or the
Depository, as the case may be. The decisions of the Trustee and the Depository
concerning such matters shall be final and binding on all affected Persons.
Any beneficial owner of a Designated Retail Certificate that has
made a Principal Distribution Request may withdraw its request by so notifying
in writing the Depository Participant or Financial Intermediary that maintains
such beneficial owner's account (each such withdrawal, a "Withdrawal"). The
Depository Participant should forward the Withdrawal to the Depository on a form
required by the Depository. In the event that such account is maintained by a
Financial Intermediary, such Financial Intermediary should notify the related
Depository Participant which in turn should forward the Withdrawal of such
request, on a form required by the Depository, to the Depository. If such
Withdrawal has not been received by the Depository and forwarded to the Trustee
on or before the Record Date for the next Distribution Date, the previously made
Principal Distribution Request will be irrevocable with respect to the making of
distributions in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of such
Designated Retail Certificate on such Distribution Date.
(d) To the extent, if any, that amounts available for distribution
in reduction of the Class Certificate Principal Balance of a
Class of Designated Retail Certificates on a Distribution Date
pursuant to Section 4.01(a) exceed the dollar amount of
Principal Distribution Requests that have been received in
respect of such Class by the related Record Date, as provided
in Section 4.10(c) above, distributions in reduction of the
Class Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of
Certificates will be made by mandatory distributions on a
Random Lot basis, in integral multiples equal to $1,000, in
reduction thereof without regard to whether such Certificate
Owners have submitted Principal Distribution Requests. The
Trustee shall notify the Depository of the aggregate amount of
the mandatory distribution by Random Lot in reduction of the
Class Certificate Principal Balance of such Designated Retail
Certificates to be made on the next Distribution Date. The
Depository shall then allocate such aggregate amount among its
Depository Participants on a Random Lot basis. Each Depository
Participant and, in turn, each Financial Intermediary, will
then select, in accordance with its own procedures, Designated
Retail Certificates of such Class from among those held in its
accounts to receive mandatory distributions in reduction of
the Class Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificates,
such that the total amount so selected is equal to the
aggregate amount of such mandatory distributions allocated to
such Depository Participant by the Depository and to such
Financial Intermediary by its related Depository Participant,
as the case may be. Depository Participants and Financial
Intermediaries that hold a Class of Designated Retail
Certificates selected for mandatory distributions in reduction
of the Class Certificate Principal Balance thereof should
provide notice of such mandatory distributions to the affected
Certificate Owners.
(e) On the Closing Date, a separate Rounding Account shall be
established with the Trustee for each Class of Designated
Retail Certificates and the Rounding Account Depositor for
such Rounding Account shall cause to be initially deposited
the sum of $999.99 in each such Rounding Account. On each
Distribution Date on which a distribution is to be made in
reduction of the Class Certificate Principal Balance of a
Class of Designated Retail Certificates pursuant to Section
4.01(a), funds on deposit in the related Rounding Account
shall be, to the extent needed, withdrawn by the Trustee and
applied to round upward to an integral multiple of $1,000 the
aggregate distribution in reduction of the Class Certificate
Principal Balance to be made on such Class of Certificates.
Rounding of such distribution on such Class of Designated
Retail Certificates shall be accomplished, on the first such
Distribution Date, by withdrawing from the related Rounding
Account the amount of funds, if any, needed to round the
amount otherwise available for such distribution in reduction
of the Class Certificate Principal Balance of such
Certificates upward to the next integral multiple of $1,000.
On each succeeding Distribution Date on which distributions in
reduction of the Class Certificate Principal Balance of such
Class of Designated Retail Certificates are to be made
pursuant to Section 4.01(a), the aggregate amount of such
distributions allocable to such Certificates shall be applied
first to repay any funds withdrawn from the related Rounding
Account and not previously repaid, and then the remainder of
such allocable amount, if any, shall be similarly rounded
upward to the next integral multiple of $1,000 and applied as
distributions in reduction of the Class Certificate Principal
Balance of the related Class of Certificates; this process
shall continue on succeeding principal Distribution Dates
prior to the earlier to occur of the Cross-Over Date and the
next Distribution Date after the Distribution Date on which
the principal portion of any Realized Loss is allocated to
such Class of Designated Retail Certificates until the Class
Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class of
Certificates has been reduced to zero. Each Rounding Account
shall be maintained as a non-interest bearing account; the
Rounding Accounts shall not be an asset of the Trust Fund, but
shall be an asset in the REMIC. On the earliest of (1) the
Cross-Over Date, (2) the next Distribution Date after the
Distribution Date on which the principal portion of any
Realized Loss is allocated to any Class of Designated Retail
Certificates and (3) the first Distribution Date after the
Class Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Designated
Retail Certificates has been reduced to zero, any remaining
amounts in the related Rounding Account shall be distributed
to the Class R Certificate.
(f) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, on each
Distribution Date coinciding with or after the earlier to
occur of the Cross-Over Date and the next Distribution Date
after the Distribution Date on which the principal portion of
any Realized Loss is allocated to any Class of Designated
Retail Certificates, all distributions in reduction of the
Class Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Designated
Retail Certificates will be made among the Holders and
Certificate Owners of such Class of Certificates, pro rata,
based on their Certificate Principal Balances, and will not be
made in integral multiples of $1,000 or pursuant to requested
distributions or mandatory distributions by Random Lot.
(g) In the event that Definitive Certificates representing any
Class of Designated Retail Certificates are issued pursuant to
Section 5.02(f) (other than Section 5.02(f)(z)), all requests
for distributions or withdrawals of such requests relating to
such Class must be submitted to the Trustee, and the Trustee
shall perform the functions described in Section 4.10(a)
through (d) using its own procedures, which procedures shall,
to the extent practicable, be consistent with the procedures
described in Section 4.10(a) through (d). In the event that
Definitive Certificates representing any Class of Designated
Retail Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.02(f)(z),
all distributions of principal shall be made pro rata in
accordance with Section 4.10(f).

(1) This Class of Certificates will be issued as a single Certificate
evidencing the entire Class Certificate Principal Balance of such Class.
(2) The Class S Certificates are issued with an initial Notional Principal
Balance of $220,551,731.24 and shall bear interest at the Strip Rate.
(3) The Class S Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of
Notional Principal Balance of $25,000,000.
(c) The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only. The
Book-Entry Certificates will be evidenced by one or more
certificates, beneficial ownership of which will be held in the
minimum dollar denominations in Certificate Principal Balance or
Notional Principal Balance, as applicable, specified in Section
5.01(b), and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The

shall each be issued in the minimum dollar denominations in
Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Principal Balance, as
applicable, specified in Section 5.01(b), and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof (and, if necessary, in the amount of the
remaining Class Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Principal
Balance, as applicable, of each Class, in the case of one
Certificate of such Class). The Residual Certificate shall be issued
as a single certificate evidencing the entire Class Certificate
Principal Balance of such Class and having a Percentage Interest of
100%. If necessary, one Certificate of each Class of Book-Entry
Certificates may evidence an additional amount equal to the
remainder of the Class Certificate Principal Balance of such Class.
(d) The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer under its seal,
which may be in facsimile form and be imprinted or otherwise
reproduced thereon. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures
were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind
the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them
have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the
date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any
benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless
such Certificate shall have been manually countersigned by the
Trustee substantially in the forms set forth in Exhibit A hereto,
and such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates issued on the
Closing Date shall be dated the Closing Date; all Certificates
issued thereafter shall be dated the date of their countersignature.
(e) The Strip Rate for each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined
by the Company and included in the Servicer's Certificate for the
related Distribution Date.
Section 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. (a) The
Trustee shall cause to be kept at an office or agency in the city in which the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located or in the City of New York, New
York a Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as
it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates
and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee
shall initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering
Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
Subject to Sections 5.02(b) and 5.02(c), upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office, the
Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations of a like Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like Class and
Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any
such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange
the Trustee shall execute, countersign and deliver the Certificates which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and
exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee and a
certificate of destruction shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Company.
(b) No legal or beneficial interest in all or any portion of the
Residual Certificates may be transferred directly or indirectly to
(i) a Disqualified Organization or an agent of a Disqualified
Organization (including a broker, nominee, or middleman) or (ii) an
individual, corporation, partnership or other person unless such
transferee (A) is not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person
that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of
a trade or business within the United States and has furnished the
transferor and the Trustee with an effective Internal Revenue
Service Form 4224 or (C) is a Non-U.S. Person that has delivered to
both the transferor and the Trustee an opinion of a nationally
recognized tax counsel to the effect that the transfer of a Residual
Certificate to it is in accordance with the requirements of the Code
and the regulations promulgated thereunder and that such transfer of
a Residual Certificate will not be disregarded for federal income
tax purposes (any such person who is not covered by clause (A), (B)
or (C) above being referred to herein as a "Non-permitted Foreign
Holder"), and any such purported transfer shall be void and have no
effect. The Trustee shall not execute, and shall not authenticate
and deliver, a Residual Certificate in connection with any transfer
thereof unless the transferor shall have provided to the Trustee an
affidavit, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F hereto,
signed by the transferee, to the effect that the transferee is not
such a Disqualified Organization, an agent (including a broker,
nominee, or middleman) for any entity as to which the transferee has
not received a substantially similar affidavit or a Non-permitted
Foreign Holder, which affidavit shall contain the consent of the
transferee to any such amendments of this Agreement as may be
required to further effectuate the foregoing restrictions on
transfer of the Residual Certificates to Disqualified Organizations
or Non-permitted Foreign Holders, and an agreement by the Transferee
that it will not transfer a Residual Certificate without providing
to the Trustee an affidavit substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit F hereto and a letter substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit G hereto. Such affidavit shall also contain the statement of
the transferee that (i) it does not have the intention to impede the
assessment or collection of any federal, state or local taxes
legally required to be paid with respect to the Residual
Certificates and (ii) it understands that it may incur tax
liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by a Residual
Certificate and that it intends to pay taxes associated with holding
a Residual Certificate as they become due.
The affidavit described in the preceding paragraph, if not executed
in connection with the initial issuance of the Residual Certificates, shall be
accompanied by a written statement in the form attached as Exhibit G hereto,
signed by the transferor, to the effect that as of the time of the transfer, the
transferor has (i) no actual knowledge that the transferee is a Disqualified
Organization or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, (ii) no reason to believe that the
transferee has the intention to impede the assessment or collection of any
federal, state or local taxes legally required to be paid with respect to a
Residual Certificate, and (iii) conducted a reasonable investigation and found
that the transferee had historically paid its debts as they came due and found
no significant evidence to indicate that the transferee will not continue to pay
its debts as they become due. The Residual Certificates shall bear a legend
referring to the foregoing restrictions contained in this paragraph and the
preceding paragraph.
Upon notice to the Company that any legal or beneficial interest in
any portion of the Residual Certificates has been transferred, directly or
indirectly, to a Disqualified Organization or agent thereof (including a broker,
nominee, or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, (i) such
transferee shall be deemed to hold the Residual Certificate in constructive
trust for the last transferor who was not a Disqualified Organization or agent
thereof, and such transferor shall be restored as the owner of such Residual
Certificate as completely as if such transfer had never occurred, provided that
the Company may, but is not required to, recover any distributions made to such
transferee with respect to the Residual Certificate and return such recovery to
the transferor, and (ii) the Company agrees to furnish to the Internal Revenue
Service and to any transferor of the Residual Certificate or such agent (within
60 days of the request therefor by the transferor or agent) such information
necessary to the application of section 860E(e) of the Code as may be required
by the Code, including but not limited to the present value of the total
anticipated excess inclusions with respect to the Residual Certificate (or
portion thereof) for periods after such transfer. At the election of the
Company, the cost to the Company of computing and furnishing such information
may be charged to the transferor or such agent referred to above; however, the
Company shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.
The restrictions on transfers of the Residual Certificates set forth
in the preceding three paragraphs shall cease to apply to transfers (and the
applicable portions of the legend to the Residual Certificates may be deleted)
after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
elimination of such restrictions will not cause the REMIC established hereunder
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding.
No transfer of a Restricted Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and any applicable state
securities laws, in each case as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate, or is
exempt from the registration requirements of the Act and any applicable state
securities laws. In the event of such registration, any restrictive legends set
forth in the form of the relevant Restricted Certificate in Exhibit A hereto
with respect to the Act and state securities law restrictions shall be removed
by the Trustee upon request of the Holder thereof and automatically upon
exchange or registration of transfer thereof. As a condition to any transfer
that is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Act and such laws of a
(i) Class PO or Class S Certificate or (ii) Restricted Junior Certificate to any
person other than a QIB (as certified by the proposed transferee in the form of
assignment attached to the related Certificate), either (x) the Trustee shall
require the transferee to execute an investment letter in the form substantially
as set forth in Exhibit I hereto or in such other form as may be acceptable to
the Trustee, certifying as to the facts surrounding such transfer, or (y) in
lieu of such investment letter, the Trustee may accept a written Opinion of
Counsel (in form and substance acceptable to the Trustee) that such proposed
transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Act. As an additional
condition to any transfer of a Restricted Certificate, either (i) the transferor
and the transferee shall complete the form of assignment attached to the
Certificate proposed to be transferred, or (ii) the Trustee shall have received
the above-referenced Opinion of Counsel. The holder of any Restricted
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer thereof to a person other than a QIB
shall, and hereby agrees to, comply with any applicable conditions set forth in
the preceding two sentences and indemnify the Trustee and the Company against
any liability that may result if the transfer thereof is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws. Such agreement to so
indemnify the Trustee and the Company shall survive the termination of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel or investment
letter shall be required upon the original issuance of (i) the Restricted Junior
Certificates to the Initial Purchaser (as defined in the Private Placement
Memorandum) or its nominee and (ii) the Class PO or Class S Certificates to the
Company or upon any subsequent transfer of any Class PO or Class S Certificate
by the Company, provided that if any Restricted Junior Certificates are, at the
request of the Initial Purchaser, registered in the name of its nominee, the
Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree with the Company and
the Trustee that no transfer of a beneficial interest in such Certificates will
be made without registering such Certificates in the name of the transferee,
which shall be a Person other than such nominee. Any opinion or letter required
pursuant to this paragraph shall not be at the expense of the Trust Fund or the
Trustee.
(c) (i) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a
Definitive Certificate shall be made to any Person unless the
Trustee has received (A) a certificate (substantially in the form of
Exhibit E or such other form as is acceptable to the Company and the
Trustee) from such transferee to the effect that such transferee (i)
is not a Plan or a Person that is using the assets of a Plan to
acquire such ERISA-Restricted Certificate or (ii) in the case of a
Junior Certificate, is an insurance company investing assets of its
general account and the exemptions provided by Section III(a) of
Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60, 60
Fed. Reg. 35925 (July 12, 1995) (the "Exemptions") apply to the
transferee's acquisition and holding of any ERISA-Restricted
Certificate or (B) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee
and the Company to the effect that the purchase and holding of such
a Certificate will not constitute or result in the assets of the
Trust Fund being deemed to be "plan assets" subject to the
prohibited transactions provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code and will not subject the Trustee or the Company to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement;
provided, however, that the Trustee will not require such
certificate or opinion in the event that, as a result of a change of
law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory to the Trustee has rendered
an opinion to the effect that the purchase and holding of an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate by a Plan or a Person that is
purchasing or holding such a Certificate with the assets of a Plan
will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. The preparation and delivery of
the certificate and opinions referred to above shall not be an
expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be
required for the initial issuance of the ERISA-Restricted
Certificates or any subsequent transfer of any Class PO or Class S
Certificate by the Company. Any transferee of a beneficial interest
in an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Book-Entry
Certificate will be deemed to have made one of the representations
set forth in Exhibit F hereto, unless the Trustee has received an
opinion of counsel referred to in this Section 5.02(c)(i).
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of a
Plan, without the delivery to the Trustee and the Company of an
opinion of counsel as described above, shall be void and of no
effect.
(ii) No transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be made to any
Person unless the Trustee has received a certification
(substantially in the form of paragraph 4 of Exhibit F) from
such transferee to the effect that, among other things, such
transferee is not a Plan or a Person that is using the assets
of a Plan to acquire any such Certificate. The preparation and
delivery of such certificate shall not be an expense of the
Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Company.
(d) Subject to Section 8.01(i) hereof, the Trustee may conclusively rely
upon any certificate, affidavit or opinion delivered pursuant to
Section 5.02(b) or (c). Any certificate or affidavit required to be
delivered by a transferee under this Section 5.02 may be executed
and delivered in the name of such transferee by its attorney-in-fact
duly authorized in writing in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee.
(e) Except as to any additional Certificate of any Class of Book-Entry
Certificates held in physical certificated form pursuant to Section
5.02(g) or any Restricted Junior Certificate of any Class of
Book-Entry Certificates that is transferred to an entity other than
a QIB, the Book-Entry Certificates shall, subject to Section
5.02(f), at all times remain registered in the name of the
Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration thereof
may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository;
(ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect
to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and
transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of
registration of the Certificates issued in book-entry form on the
books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules
established by the Depository and the rights of Certificate Owners
with respect to Book-Entry Certificates shall be governed by
applicable law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and
the Depository, Depository Participants, and indirect participating
firms; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees,
charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the
Trustee shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and
indirect participating firms as authorized representatives of the
Certificate Owners of the Certificates issued in book-entry form for
all purposes including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry
Certificates and exercising the rights of Holders under this
Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such
representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are
made with respect to different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee
may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information
furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with
respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the
books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect
Certificate Owners; (vii) Certificate Owners shall not be entitled
to certificates for the Book-Entry Certificates and (viii) the
Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with
solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and
give notice to the Depository of such record date.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall
be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. Except as provided
herein, the Trustee shall have no duty to monitor or restrict the transfer of
Certificates or interests therein, and shall have no liability for any transfer,
including any transfer made through the book-entry facilities of the Depository
or between or among Depository Participants or Certificate Owners, made in
violation of applicable restrictions set forth herein, except in the event of
the failure of the Trustee to perform its duties and fulfill its obligations
under this Agreement.
(f) If (w)(i) the Company or the Depository advises the Trustee in writing that
the Depository is no longer willing, qualified or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Company is unable to
locate a qualified successor, (x) the Company at its option advises the Trustee
in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the
Depository, (y) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners
representing not less than 51% of the aggregate Voting Rights allocated to the
Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Trustee and the Depository through
the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry
system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the
Certificate Owners or (z) the Depository advises the Trustee that it is unable
to make any pro rata distributions required by Sections 4.01(e)(ii) and 4.10(f),
the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates
to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of such
Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from
the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive
Certificates. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay
in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by
the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive
Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
(g) On or prior to the Closing Date, there shall be delivered to the
Depository (or to State Street Bank and Trust Company acting as
custodian for the Depository pursuant to the Depository's
procedures) one certificate for each Class of Book-Entry
Certificates registered in the name of the Depository's nominee,
Cede & Co. The face amount of each such Certificate shall represent
100% of the initial Class Certificate Principal Balance thereof,
except for such amount that does not constitute an acceptable
denomination to the Depository. An additional Certificate of each
Class of Book-Entry Certificates may be issued evidencing such
remainder and, if so issued, will be held in physical certificated
form by the Holders thereof. Each Certificate issued in book-entry
form shall bear the following legend:
"Unless this Certificate is presented by an authorized
representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"),
to Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and
any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other
name as requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is
made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner
hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein."
Section 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any
mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the
Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Company, the
Certificate Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice
to the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee that such Certificate has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, countersign and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor, Class and Percentage
Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section 5.03, 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 and
any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a Certificate
for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar
may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of
such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section
4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company, the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of the Company, the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Section 5.05. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses. The
Certificate Registrar will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Company,
within 15 days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of request therefor
from the Company in writing, a list, in such form as the Company may reasonably
require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most
recent Record Date for payment of distributions to Certificateholders. If three
or more Certificateholders (hereinafter referred to as "applicants") apply in
writing to the Trustee, and such application states that the applicants desire
to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under
this Agreement or under the Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the
communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall,
within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such
applicants access during normal business hours to the most recent list of
Certificateholders held by the Trustee. If such list is as of a date more than
90 days prior to the date of receipt of such applicants' request, the Trustee
shall promptly request from the Certificate Registrar a current list as provided
above, and shall afford such applicants access to such list promptly upon
receipt. Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees
with the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee that neither the Certificate
Registrar nor the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure
of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders
hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 5.06. Representation of Certain Certificateholders. The fiduciary of any
Plan which becomes a Holder of a Certificate, by virtue of its acceptance of
such Certificate, will be deemed to have represented and warranted to the
Trustee and the Company that such Plan is an "accredited investor" as defined in
Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933.
Section 5.07. Determination of COFI. (a) If the outstanding Certificates include
any COFI Certificates, then on each COFI Determination Date the Trustee shall
determine the value of COFI on the basis of the most recently available
Information Bulletin referred to in the definition of "COFI". The establishment
of COFI by the Trustee and the Trustee's subsequent calculation of the rates of
interest applicable to the COFI Certificates for each Interest Accrual Period
shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding. During each
Interest Accrual Period, the Certificate Interest Rate for the COFI Certificates
for the current and immediately preceding Interest Accrual Period shall be made
available by the Trustee to Certificate Owners and Certificateholders at the
following telephone number: (617) 664-5500.
(b) The failure by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco to
publish COFI for a period of 65 calendar days will constitute an
"Alternative Rate Event" for purposes hereof. Upon the occurrence of
an Alternative Rate Event, the Company will calculate the
Certificate Interest Rates for the COFI Certificates for the
subsequent Interest Accrual Periods by using, in place of COFI, (i)
the replacement index, if any, published or designated by the
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco or (ii) if no replacement
index is so published or designated, an alternative index to be
selected by the Company that has performed, or that the Company
expects to perform, in a manner substantially similar to COFI. At
the time an alternative index is first selected by the Company, the
Company shall determine the average number of basis points, if any,
by which the alternative index differed from COFI for such period as
the Company, in its sole discretion, reasonably determines to
reflect fairly the long-term difference between COFI and the
alternative index, and shall adjust the alternative index by such
average. The Company shall select a particular index as an
alternative only if it receives an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that the selection of such index will not cause any REMIC
established hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal
income tax purposes. In the absence of manifest error, the selection
of any alternative index as provided by this Section 5.07(b) shall
be final and binding for each subsequent Interest Accrual Period.
Upon the occurrence of an Alternative Rate Event, the Trustee shall
have no responsibility for the determination of any alternative
index or the calculation of the Certificate Interest Rates for the
COFI Certificates.
(c) If at any time after the occurrence of an Alternative Rate Event the
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco resumes publication of COFI,
the Certificate Interest Rates for the COFI Certificates for each
Interest Accrual Period commencing thereafter will be calculated by
reference to COFI.
Section 5.08. Determination of LIBOR. (a) If the outstanding Certificates
include any LIBOR Certificates, then on each LIBOR Determination Date the
Trustee shall determine LIBOR for the related Interest Accrual Period as such
rate equal to the Interest Settlement Rate. If such rate does not appear on the
Designated Telerate Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the applicable LIBOR
Determination Date:
(i) The Trustee will request the principal London office of each
Reference Bank (as defined in Section 5.08(e)) to provide such
bank's offered quotation (expressed as a percentage per annum)
to prime banks in the London interbank market for one-month
U.S. Dollar deposits as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the
applicable LIBOR Determination Date.
(ii) If on any LIBOR Determination Date, two or more of the
Reference Banks provide such offered quotations, LIBOR for the
next Interest Accrual Period will be the arithmetic mean of
such offered quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean
upwards, if necessary, to the nearest whole multiple of
1/16%). If on any LIBOR Determination Date only one or none of
the Reference Banks provide such offered quotations, LIBOR for
the next Interest Accrual Period will be the rate per annum
the Trustee determines to be the arithmetic mean (rounding
such arithmetic mean upwards, if necessary, to the nearest
whole multiple of 1/16%) of the one-month Eurodollar lending
rate that three major banks in New York City selected by the
Trustee are quoting as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the first day of the applicable Interest Accrual
Period.
(iii) If on any LIBOR Determination Date the Trustee is required but
unable to determine LIBOR in the manner provided in
subparagraph (ii) of this Section 5.08(a), LIBOR for the next
Interest Accrual Period will be LIBOR as determined on the
previous LIBOR Determination Date, or, in the case of the
first LIBOR Determination Date, the Initial LIBOR Rate.
(b) The establishment of LIBOR by the Trustee and the Trustee's
subsequent calculation of the Certificate Interest Rates applicable
to the LIBOR Certificates for the relevant Interest Accrual Period,
in the absence of manifest error, will be final and binding.
(c) Within five Business Days of the Trustee's calculation of the
Certificate Interest Rates of the LIBOR Certificates, the Trustee
shall furnish to the Company by telecopy (or by such other means as
the Trustee and the Company may agree from time to time) such
Certificate Interest Rates.
(d) The Trustee shall provide to Certificateholders who inquire of it by
telephone the Certificate Interest Rates of the LIBOR Certificates
for the current and immediately preceding Interest Accrual Period.
(e) As used herein, "Reference Banks" shall mean no more than four
leading banks engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the
international Eurocurrency market (i) with an established place of
business in London, England, (ii) whose quotations appear on the
display designated "LIBO" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service
(the "Reuters Screen LIBO Page") on the applicable LIBOR
Determination Date and (iii) which have been designated as such by
the Trustee and are able and willing to provide such quotations to
the Trustee on each LIBOR Determination Date. The Reference Banks
initially shall be: Barclay's plc, Bank of Tokyo, National
Westminster Bank and Trust Company and Bankers Trust Company. If any
of the initial Reference Banks should be removed from the Reuters
Screen LIBO Page or in any other way fail to meet the qualifications
of a Reference Bank, or if such page is no longer published, the
Trustee, after consultation with the Company, shall use its best
efforts to designate alternate Reference Banks.
ARTICLE VI

Section 6.01. Liability of the Company. The Company shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
upon and undertaken by the Company herein.
Section 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of,
the Company. Any corporation into which the Company may be merged or
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Company shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to the business of the Company, or any corporation, more than 50% of
the voting stock of which is, directly or indirectly, owned by General Electric
Company, or any limited partnership, the sole general partner of which is either
the Company or a corporation, more than 50% of the voting stock of which is
owned, directly or indirectly, by General Electric Company, which executes an
agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Company hereunder,
shall be the successor of the Company hereunder, without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 6.03. Assignment. The Company may assign its rights and delegate its
duties and obligations as servicer under this Agreement; provided, that (i) the
purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment or delegation is qualified to
service mortgage loans for FNMA or FHLMC, is reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee and executes and delivers to the Trustee an agreement, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption
by such purchaser or transferee of the due and punctual performance and
observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the
Company as servicer hereunder from and after the date of such agreement and (ii)
each Rating Agency's rating of any Classes of Certificates in effect immediately
prior to such assignment or delegation would not be qualified, downgraded or
withdrawn as a result thereof. In the case of any such assignment or delegation,
the Company will be released from its obligations as servicer hereunder except
for liabilities and obligations as servicer incurred prior to such assignment or
delegation.
Section 6.04. Limitation on Liability of the Company and Others. Neither the
Company nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the
Company shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders
for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action by the
Company pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided,
however, that this provision shall not protect the Company or any such person
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties of the
Company or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties of the
Company hereunder. The Company and any director or officer or employee or agent
of the Company may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie
properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder. The Company and any director or officer or employee or agent of the
Company shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any
loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating
to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense
related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such
loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this
Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder. The Company shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or
defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may
involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Company may
in its sole discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or
desirable in respect of this Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties
hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the
legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom
shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund and the Company shall
be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from amounts credited to the Mortgage Loan
Payment Record as provided by Section 3.04.
Section 6.05. The Company Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of Sections
6.02 and 6.03, the Company shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except upon determination that the performance of its
duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Company shall be evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation
shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have
assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Company in accordance with
Section 7.02.
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
Section 7.01. Events of Default. If any one of the following events
("Events of Default") shall occur and be continuing:
(i) Any failure by the Company to make any payment to the Trustee
of funds pursuant to Section 3.02(d) out of which
distributions to Certificateholders of any Class are required
to be made under the terms of the Certificates and this
Agreement which failure continues unremedied for a period of
three Business Days after the date upon which written notice
of such failure shall have been given to the Company by the
Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by Holders of
Certificates of each Class affected thereby evidencing, as to
each such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 25%; or
(ii) Failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform
in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of
the Company set forth in the Certificates or in this
Agreement, which covenants and agreements (A) materially
affect the rights of Certificateholders and (B) continue
unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which
written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee,
or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of
Certificates of each Class affected thereby evidencing, as to
each such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 25%; or
(iii) The entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or
supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for
the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in
any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets
and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the
Company, or for the winding up or liquidation of the Company's
affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order
unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(iv) The consent by the Company to the appointment of a conservator
or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of
debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar
proceedings of or relating to the Company or of or relating to
substantially all of its property; or the Company shall admit
in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they
become due, file a petition to take advantage of any
applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily
suspend payment of its obligations;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not
have been remedied by the Company, either the Trustee, or the Holders of
Certificates of each Class affected thereby evidencing, as to each such Class,
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51%, by notice then given in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Certificateholders)
may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Company as servicer under
this Agreement. On or after the receipt by the Company of such written notice,
all authority and power of the Company under this Agreement, whether with
respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to
and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section 7.01; and,
without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Company, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and
all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or
things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Mortgage
Loans and related documents, or otherwise, including, without limitation, the
recordation of the assignments of the Mortgage Loans to it. The Company agrees
to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the
responsibilities and rights of the Company hereunder, including, without
limitation, the transfer to the Trustee for the administration by it of all cash
amounts that shall at the time be held by the Company and that have been or
should have been credited by it to the Mortgage Loan Payment Record, or that
have been deposited by the Company in the Certificate Account or are thereafter
received by the Company with respect to the Mortgage Loans. In addition to any
other amounts which are then, or, notwithstanding the termination of its
activities as servicer, may become, payable to the Company under this Agreement,
the Company shall be entitled to receive out of any delinquent payment on
account of interest on a Mortgage Loan, due during the period prior to the
notice pursuant to this Section 7.01 which terminates the obligation and rights
of the Company hereunder and received after such notice, that portion of such
payment which it would have been entitled to retain pursuant to Section 3.04(vi)
if such notice had not been given.
Section 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) On and after the
time the Company receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the
Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Company in its capacity as
servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein and shall succeed to all the rights of and be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Company
in its capacity as servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided,
however, that the responsibilities and duties of the Company pursuant to
Sections 2.02 and 2.03(a) and, if the Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation
from making Monthly Advances, the responsibility to make Monthly Advances
pursuant to Section 4.04, shall not be the responsibilities, duties or
obligations of the Trustee; and provided further, that any failure of the
Trustee to perform such duties and responsibilities that is caused by the
Company's failure to cooperate with the Trustee as required by Section 7.01
shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall, except as provided in Section 7.01, be entitled to
such compensation as the Company would have been entitled to hereunder if no
such notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, the
Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally
unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, any established housing and home finance institution approved to
service mortgage loans for either FNMA or FHLMC, having a net worth of not less
than $10,000,000, as the successor to the Company hereunder in the assumption of
all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Company
hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Company pursuant to this
Article VII, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee
shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such
successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in
excess of that permitted the Company hereunder. The Trustee and such successor
shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession.
(b) Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Company as servicer
pursuant to this Article VII shall during the term of its service as
servicer maintain in force (i) a policy or policies of insurance
covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations
as servicer hereunder, and (ii) a fidelity bond in respect of its
officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Company is
so required pursuant to Section 3.15.
Section 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any termination or
appointment of a successor to the Company pursuant to this Article VII, the
Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at
their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
ARTICLE VIII
THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01. Duties of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an
Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have
occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Default has occurred
(which has not been cured), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill
in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the
curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred,
the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined
solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such
duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of
bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was
negligent in performing its duties in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement;
(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of
Certificates of each Class affected thereby evidencing, as to
each such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 25%, relating to the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee,
under this Agreement; and
(iv) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of (A) any
failure by the Company to comply with the obligations of the
Company referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01,
(B) the rating downgrade referred to in the definition of
"Trigger Event" or (C) any failure by the Company to comply
with the obligations of the Company to record the assignments
of Mortgages referred to in Section 2.01 unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office obtains
actual knowledge of such failures, occurrence or downgrade or
the Trustee receives written notice of such failures,
occurrence or downgrade from the Company or the Holders of
Certificates of each Class affected thereby evidencing, as to
each such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 25%.
Subject to any obligation of the Trustee to make Monthly Advances as
provided herein, the Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and
none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require
the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any
of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, except during such time,
if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights,
duties, powers and privileges of, the Company in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.
Section 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or
document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of
Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or
omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with
such Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to
institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in
relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of any of
the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered
to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein
or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve
the Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default (which has not been cured), to exercise such
of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and
to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as
a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of his or her own affairs;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by
it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or
powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the
facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or documents,
unless requested in writing so to do by Holders of
Certificates of each Class affected thereby evidencing, as to
each such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 25%; provided, however, that if the payment within a
reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or
liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to
it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability
as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of
every such investigation shall be paid by the Company or, if
paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Company upon
demand. Nothing in this clause (v) shall derogate from the
obligation of the Company to observe any applicable law
prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the
Mortgagors; and
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents or attorneys or a custodian. The Trustee shall
have no responsibility or liability hereunder for the acts or
omissions of the Custodian.
Section 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans. The
recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature and
countersignature of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the
statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the
correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity
or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the
signature and countersignature of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any
Mortgage Loan or related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the
use or application by the Company of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds
of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the
Company in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the
Certificate Account by the Company.
Section 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were not Trustee.
Section 8.05. The Company to Pay Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Company
covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee
shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust)
for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created
and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of
the Trustee, and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request
for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances (including any Monthly
Advances of the Trustee not previously reimbursed thereto pursuant to Section
3.04) incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions
of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ)
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its
negligence or bad faith or which is the responsibility of Certificateholders
hereunder. In addition, the Company covenants and agrees to indemnify the
Trustee from, and hold it harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities,
damages, claims or expenses other than those resulting from the negligence or
bad faith of the Trustee. From time to time, the Trustee may request that the
Company debit the Mortgage Loan Payment Record pursuant to Section 3.04 to
reimburse the Trustee for any Monthly Advances and Nonrecoverable Advances.
Section 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee hereunder shall
at all times be a corporation having its principal office either in the State of
New York or in the same state as that in which the initial Trustee under this
Agreement has its principal office and organized and doing business under the
laws of such State or the United States of America, authorized under such laws
to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06, the combined capital and
surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The
Trustee shall not be an affiliate of the Company. In case at any time the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in Section 8.07.
Section 8.07. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at any time
resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice
thereof to the Company. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company
shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate,
one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one
copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so
appointed and having accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of
such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
If the conditions in any of the following clauses (i), (ii) or (iii)
shall occur at any time, the Company may remove the Trustee: (i) the Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and
shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company; (ii) the
Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed,
or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation; or (iii) the replacement of the Trustee with a successor Trustee
will enable the Company to avoid (and should, based on the information included
in the notice referred to below, result in the avoidance of) a downgrading of
the ratings assigned to the Certificates by the Rating Agencies (whether or not
other actions could avoid such downgrading) and no Event of Default, as provided
by Section 7.01 hereof, shall have occurred or be continuing; provided, however,
that no action shall be taken pursuant to this clause (iii) unless reasonable
notice shall have been provided to the Trustee, which notice shall set forth the
basis for any rating downgrade as contemplated by the Rating Agencies and shall
also indicate the manner in which such proposed action is intended to avoid such
downgrade. If it removes the Trustee under the authority of the immediately
preceding sentence, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall
not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.
Section 8.08. Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in
Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its
predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become
effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as Trustee. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver to the successor Trustee
all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder;
and the Company and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and
certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all such rights,
powers, duties and obligations.
No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in
this Section 8.08, the Company shall mail notice of the succession of such
Trustee hereunder to all holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in
the Certificate Register. If the Company fails to mail such notice within 10
days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor
Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.
Section 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any corporation into which the
Trustee 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
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any
legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or
property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the Company 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 to act as
co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, of all or any part of the
Trust Fund, or separate trustee or separate trustees of any part of the Trust
Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part
thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers,
duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Company and the Trustee may
consider necessary or desirable. If the Company shall not have joined in such
appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in
case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee
alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate
trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon
and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate
trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such
separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act
separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to
the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee
hereunder or as successor to the Company 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 Fund
or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or
co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason
of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) The Company 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 Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the
Company.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
Section 8.11. Compliance with REMIC Provisions; Tax Returns. The Trustee shall
at all times act in such a manner in the performance of its duties hereunder as
shall be necessary to prevent the Trust Fund from failing to qualify as a REMIC
and to prevent the imposition of a tax on the Trust Fund or the REMIC
established hereunder. The Trustee, upon request, will furnish the Company with
all such information within its possession as may be reasonably required in
connection with the preparation of all tax returns of the Trust Fund and any
Reserve Fund, and shall, upon request, execute such returns.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
Section 9.01. Termination upon Repurchase by the Company or Liquidation of All
Mortgage Loans. Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Company and the Trustee created hereby (other than the
obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments to Certificateholders after
the final Distribution Date and the obligation of the Trustee to send certain
notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon the last action required
to be taken by the Trustee on the final Distribution Date pursuant to this
Article IX following the earlier of (a) the repurchase by the Company of all
Mortgage Loans and all REO Mortgage Loans remaining in the Trust Fund at a price
equal to the sum of (x) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan (other than any REO Mortgage Loans described in the following clause) as of
the first day of the month in which such purchase price is to be distributed to
Certificateholders plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable
Net Mortgage Rate (less any amounts constituting previously unreimbursed Monthly
Advances) to the first day of the month in which such purchase price is to be
distributed to Certificateholders and (y) the appraised value of any REO
Mortgage Loan (less the good faith estimate of the Company of Liquidation
Expenses to be incurred in connection with its disposal thereof), such appraisal
to be conducted by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Company and the
Trustee, and (b) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any
Monthly Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the
Trust Fund or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or by
deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no
event shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21
years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P.
Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States of America to the Court of St.
James's, living on the date of this Agreement. The right of the Company to
repurchase all Mortgage Loans pursuant to clause (a) above shall be conditioned
upon the aggregate of the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Outstanding
Mortgage Loans, at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating less than 10
percent of the aggregate of the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon
which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for
payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by
the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th day
and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such
final distribution specifying (A) the Distribution Date upon which final payment
of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein designated, (B) the amount of
any such final payment and (C) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation
and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein
specified. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at
the time such notice is given to Certificateholders. In the event such notice is
given in connection with the exercise by the Company of its right of repurchase,
the Company shall deposit in the Certificate Account not later than 11:00 a.m.
on the Business Day prior to the final Distribution Date in next-day funds an
amount equal to the price described above. Upon presentation and surrender of
the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to
Certificateholders an amount equal to the price calculated as above provided,
any such repurchase being in lieu of the distribution otherwise required to be
made on the Distribution Date upon which the repurchase is effected. Upon
certification to the Trustee by a Servicing Officer following such final
deposit, the Trustee (or Custodian, if applicable) shall promptly release to the
Company the Mortgage Files for the repurchased Mortgage Loans.
On the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute amounts
on deposit in the Certificate Account and, if applicable, in any Rounding
Account, in accordance with the applicable priorities and uses provided by
Sections 4.01 and 4.10. Distributions on each Certificate shall be made on the
final Distribution Date in the manner specified in Section 4.02 but only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates.
In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified
in the above-mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written
notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
one year after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may
appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain subject
hereto.
Section 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements. In the event the Company
exercises its purchase option as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund and
the REMIC established hereunder shall be terminated in accordance with the
following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure to comply with the
requirements of this Section 9.02 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes
on "prohibited transactions" of any such REMIC as defined in section 860F of the
Code, or (ii) cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding:
(i) The notice given by the Trustee under Section 9.01 shall
provide that such notice constitutes the adoption of a plan of
complete liquidation for such REMIC within the meaning of
section 860F(a)(4)(A)(i) of the Code and the Company shall
specify the date of such termination in a statement attached
to the final tax return of the REMIC.
(ii) Within 90 days after the time of adoption of such a plan of
complete liquidation, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets
of the Trust Fund to the Company for cash in accordance with
Section 9.01.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 10.01. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the
Company and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders,
to cure any ambiguity or mistake, to correct or supplement any provisions herein
or therein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions
herein or in the Prospectus, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred
upon the Company, or to add any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under this Agreement, which shall not be materially
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that such
action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, without the consent of the Certificateholders, the Trustee and the
Company may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement to modify,
eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary
or appropriate to maintain the qualification of the Trust Fund as a REMIC under
the Code or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on the
Trust Fund pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against the Trust Fund at
any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates, provided that the
Trustee has obtained an opinion of independent counsel (which opinion also shall
be addressed to the Company) to the effect that such action is necessary or
appropriate to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of
the imposition of such a tax.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Company
and the Trustee with the consent of Holders of Certificates evidencing (i) not
less than 66% of the Voting Rights of all the Certificates or (ii) Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 66% of each Class affected by such
amendment, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner
or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement, or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no
such amendment shall (a) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing
of, collections of payments on the Mortgage Loans or distributions which are
required to be made on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, (b) adversely affect in any material respects the interests of the
Holders of any Class of Certificates in any manner other than as described in
(a), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 66% of such Class, or (c) reduce the
aforesaid percentages of Certificates of any Class required to consent to any
such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such
Class then outstanding. For purposes of this paragraph, references to "Holder"
or "Holders" shall be deemed to include, in the case of any Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, the related Certificate Owners.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment will
not subject the Trust Fund to tax or cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as
a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent the
Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to
each Certificateholder.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
under this Section 10.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to
such reasonable requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.
Section 10.02. Recordation of Agreement. This Agreement is subject to
recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all
the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the
properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate
public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the
Company and at its expense on direction by the Trustee, but only upon direction
of the Trustee accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of
Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.
Section 10.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or
incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
commence any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust
Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
provided in Section 10.01) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor
shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates,
be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under
any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties
to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing
itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement,
unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice
of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless
also the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected thereby evidencing, as
to each such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% shall
have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being
understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each
Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no
one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever
by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this
Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other
of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference
to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except
in the manner herein provided and, subject to the priority of payments pursuant
to Section 4.01 and the allocation of losses pursuant to Section 4.03, for the
equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection
and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 10.03, each and every
Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be
given either at law or in equity.
Section 10.04. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
Section 10.05. Notices. All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall

the Trustee that Certificateholders shall not be personally liable for
obligations of the Trust Fund, that the beneficial ownership interests

THIS CERTIFIES THAT ___________________ is the registered owner of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the
initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate by the aggregate
initial Certificate Principal Balance of all Class A1 Certificates, both as
specified above) in certain distributions with respect to the Trust Fund,
consisting primarily of a pool (the "Pool") of conventional, fixed rate, one- to
four-family mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), sold and serviced by GE
Capital Mortgage Services, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the
laws of the State of New Jersey (the "Company"). The Trust Fund was created
pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of July 1, 2000 (the
"Agreement"), between the Company and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as
trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of
which is set forth herein below. To the extent not defined herein, the terms
used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is
issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
The Agreement requires the distribution on the 25th day of each month or, if
such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the
"Distribution Date"), commencing in August 2000, to the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day
of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record
Date"), of an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced
by this Certificate and the aggregate amount required to be distributed to
Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate pursuant to the
Agreement.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check or money
order mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address appearing in the
Certificate Register or, upon written request by the Certificateholder, by such
other means of payment as such Person and the Trustee shall agree. Except as
otherwise provided in the Agreement, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made in the applicable manner described above, after due notice by the
Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and
surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency maintained for that
purpose by the Trustee in New York, New York.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as
REMIC Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2000-9, issued in fifteen
Classes (Class A1, Class A2, Class A3, Class A4, Class A5, Class A6, Class R,
Class PO, Class S, Class M, Class B1, Class B2, Class B3, Class B4 and Class B5,
herein called the "Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain payments on and
collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
in the Agreement. The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate,
agrees that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Certificate
Account for payment hereunder and that the Trustee in its individual capacity is
not personally liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under
this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the
Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.
As provided in the Agreement and with certain exceptions therein provided,
certain losses on the Mortgage Loans resulting from defaults by Mortgagors will
be borne by the Holders of the Class M, Class B1, Class B2, Class B3, Class B4
and Class B5 Certificates before such losses will be borne by the Holders of the
other Classes of the Certificates.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is
made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights,
benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Trustee.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66% of all the Voting Rights as defined in the
Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement, and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate
Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the office or agency maintained by the Trustee in the city in which
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located or in the City of New York,
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company, the Trustee, and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder
hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing
the same aggregate Percentage Interest as requested by the Holder surrendering
the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement, and the Trust
Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders, or
provision therefor, in accordance with the Agreement following the earlier of
(a) the repurchase by the Company of all Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund at a price
equal to the sum of (x) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan described in clause (y)) plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the rate provided for in the Agreement (less any
amounts representing previously unreimbursed Monthly Advances) and (y) the
appraised value of any property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan
determined as provided in the Agreement, and (b) the later of the final payment
or other liquidation (or any Monthly Advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all property
acquired upon foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan. The right of the Company to repurchase all the Mortgage Loans and property
in respect of Mortgage Loans is subject to the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance
at the time of repurchase being less than 10 percent of the Pool Scheduled
Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date. The Company's exercise of such right
will result in early retirement of the Certificates.
Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by the Trustee, by manual
signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth herein

assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to
the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound.
The Agreement requires the distribution on the 25th day of each month or, if
such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the
"Distribution Date"), commencing in August 2000, to the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day
of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record

Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate pursuant to the
Agreement.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check or money
order mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address appearing in the
Certificate Register or, upon written request by the Certificateholder, by such
other means of payment as such Person and the Trustee shall agree. Except as
otherwise provided in the Agreement, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made in the applicable manner described above, after due notice by the
Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and
surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency maintained for that

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as

Class PO, Class S, Class M, Class B1, Class B2, Class B3, Class B4 and Class B5,
herein called the "Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain payments on and
collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
in the Agreement. The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate,
agrees that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Certificate
Account for payment hereunder and that the Trustee in its individual capacity is
not personally liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under
this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the
Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.
As provided in the Agreement and with certain exceptions therein provided,
certain losses on the Mortgage Loans resulting from defaults by Mortgagors will
be borne by the Holders of the Class M, Class B1, Class B2, Class B3, Class B4
and Class B5 Certificates before such losses will be borne by the Holders of the
other Classes of the Certificates.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is
made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights,
benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Trustee.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66% of all the Voting Rights as defined in the
Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
Except for certain transfers by the Company as set forth in the Agreement, no
transfer of any Class S Certificate which is in the form of a Definitive
Certificate shall be made to any Person unless the Trustee has received (i) a
certificate from such transferee to the effect that such transferee is not an
employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA") or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Section 4975") (a "Plan") or a Person that is
using the assets of a Plan to acquire such Certificate or (ii) an opinion of
counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which opinion shall not be an expense of
the Trustee or the Company, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such
Certificate will not constitute or result in the assets of the Trust Fund being
deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions
of ERISA or Section 4975 and will not subject the Trustee or the Company to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement; provided, however,
that the Trustee will not require such certificate or opinion in the event that,
as a result of a change of law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory to the Trustee
has rendered an opinion to the effect that the purchase and holding of a Class S
Certificate by a Plan or a Person that is purchasing or holding such Certificate
with the assets of a Plan will not constitute or result in a prohibited
transaction under ERISA or Section 4975.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of
a Class S Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan, without the delivery to the
Trustee and the Company of an opinion of counsel as described above, shall be
void and of no effect.
As provided in the Agreement, and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate
Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the office or agency maintained by the Trustee in the city in which
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located or in the City of New York,
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company, the Trustee, and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder
hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees. The Certificates are issuable only as
registered Certificates without coupons in denominations specified in the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the
same Class of authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement, and the Trust
Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders, or
provision therefor, in accordance with the Agreement following the earlier of
(a) the repurchase by the Company of all Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund at a price
equal to the sum of (x) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan described in clause (y)) plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the rate provided for in the Agreement (less any
amounts representing previously unreimbursed Monthly Advances) and (y) the
appraised value of any property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan
determined as provided in the Agreement, and (b) the later of the final payment
or other liquidation (or any Monthly Advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all property
acquired upon foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan. The right of the Company to repurchase all the Mortgage Loans and property
in respect of Mortgage Loans is subject to the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance
at the time of repurchase being less than 10 percent of the Pool Scheduled
Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date. The Company's exercise of such right
will result in early retirement of the Certificates.
Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by the Trustee, by manual
signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

Account for payment hereunder and that the Trustee in its individual capacity is
not personally liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under
this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the
Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.
As provided in the Agreement and with certain exceptions therein provided,
certain losses on the Mortgage Loans resulting from defaults by Mortgagors will
be borne by the Holders of the Class M, Class B1, Class B2, Class B3, Class B4
and Class B5 Certificates before such losses will be borne by the Holders of the
other Classes of the Certificates.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is
made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights,
benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Trustee.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66% of all the Voting Rights as defined in the
Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
No transfer of any Class M, Class B1, Class B2, Class B3, Class B4 or Class B5
Certificate which is in the form of a Definitive Certificate shall be made to
any Person unless the Trustee has received (i) a certificate from such
transferee to the effect that such transferee (x) is not an employee benefit
plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA") or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended ("Section 4975") (a "Plan") or a Person that is using the
assets of a Plan to acquire such Certificate or (y) is an insurance company
investing assets of its general account and the exemption provided by Section
III(a) of Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Exemption 95-60, 60 Fed.
Reg. 35925 (July 12, 1995) (the "Exemption") applies to such transferee's
acquisition and holding of such Certificate, or (ii) an opinion of counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee, which opinion shall not be an expense of the
Trustee or the Company, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such
Certificate will not constitute or result in the assets of the Trust Fund being
deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions
of ERISA or Section 4975 and will not subject the Trustee or the Company to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement; provided, however,
that the Trustee will not require such certificate or opinion in the event that,
as a result of a change of law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory to the Trustee
has rendered an opinion to the effect that the purchase and holding of a Class
M, Class B1, Class B2, Class B3, Class B4 or Class B5 Certificate by a Plan or a
Person that is purchasing or holding such Certificate with the assets of a Plan
will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section
4975.
Any transferee of a beneficial interest in any Class M, Class B1, Class B2,
Class B3, Class B4 or Class B5 Certificate which is in the form of a Book-Entry
Certificate will be deemed to have made one of the representations set forth in
the paragraph above unless the Trustee and the Company have received an opinion
of counsel referred to in the paragraph above. Notwithstanding anything else to
the contrary herein, any purported transfer of a Class M, Class B1, Class B2,
Class B3, Class B4 or Class B5 Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan, without
the delivery to the Trustee and the Company of an opinion of counsel as
described above, shall be void and of no effect.
As provided in the Agreement, and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate
Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the office or agency maintained by the Trustee in the city in which
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located or in the City of New York,
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company, the Trustee, and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder
hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing
the same aggregate Percentage Interest as requested by the Holder surrendering
the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement, and the Trust
Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders, or
provision therefor, in accordance with the Agreement following the earlier of
(a) the repurchase by the Company of all Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund at a price
equal to the sum of (x) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan described in clause (y)) plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the rate provided for in the Agreement (less any
amounts representing previously unreimbursed Monthly Advances) and (y) the
appraised value of any property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan
determined as provided in the Agreement, and (b) the later of the final payment
or other liquidation (or any Monthly Advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all property
acquired upon foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan. The right of the Company to repurchase all the Mortgage Loans and property
in respect of Mortgage Loans is subject to the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance
at the time of repurchase being less than 10 percent of the Pool Scheduled
Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date. The Company's exercise of such right
will result in early retirement of the Certificates.
Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by the Trustee, by manual
signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

the contrary herein, any purported transfer of a Class M, Class B1, Class B2,
Class B3, Class B4 or Class B5 Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan, without
the delivery to the Trustee and the Company of an opinion of counsel as
described above, shall be void and of no effect.
As provided in the Agreement, and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate
Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the office or agency maintained by the Trustee in the city in which
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located or in the City of New York,
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company, the Trustee, and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder
hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing
the same aggregate Percentage Interest as requested by the Holder surrendering
the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement, and the Trust
Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders, or
provision therefor, in accordance with the Agreement following the earlier of
(a) the repurchase by the Company of all Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund at a price
equal to the sum of (x) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan described in clause (y)) plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the rate provided for in the Agreement (less any
amounts representing previously unreimbursed Monthly Advances) and (y) the
appraised value of any property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan
determined as provided in the Agreement, and (b) the later of the final payment
or other liquidation (or any Monthly Advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all property
acquired upon foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan. The right of the Company to repurchase all the Mortgage Loans and property
in respect of Mortgage Loans is subject to the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance
at the time of repurchase being less than 10 percent of the Pool Scheduled
Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date. The Company's exercise of such right
will result in early retirement of the Certificates.
Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by the Trustee, by manual

Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

which is set forth herein below. To the extent not defined herein, the terms
used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is
issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
The Agreement requires the distribution on the 25th day of each month or, if
such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the
"Distribution Date"), commencing in August 2000, to the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day
of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record

Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate pursuant to the
Agreement.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check or money
order mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address appearing in the
Certificate Register or, upon written request by the Certificateholder, by such
other means of payment as such Person and the Trustee shall agree. Except as
otherwise provided in the Agreement, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made in the applicable manner described above, after due notice by the
Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and

Class PO, Class S, Class M, Class B1, Class B2, Class B3, Class B4 and Class B5,
herein called the "Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain payments on and
collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
in the Agreement. The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate,
agrees that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Certificate
Account for payment hereunder and that the Trustee in its individual capacity is
not personally liable to the Certificateholders for any amount payable under
this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the
Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement.
As provided in the Agreement and with certain exceptions therein provided,
certain losses on the Mortgage Loans resulting from defaults by Mortgagors will
be borne by the Holders of the Class M, Class B1, Class B2, Class B3, Class B4
and Class B5 Certificates before such losses will be borne by the Holders of the
other Classes of the Certificates.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is
made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights,
benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Trustee.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66% of all the Voting Rights as defined in the
Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
No transfer of any Class M, Class B1, Class B2, Class B3, Class B4 or Class B5
Certificate which is in the form of a Definitive Certificate shall be made to
any Person unless the Trustee has received (i) a certificate from such
transferee to the effect that such transferee (x) is not an employee benefit
plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA") or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended ("Section 4975") (a "Plan") or a Person that is using the
assets of a Plan to acquire such Certificate or (y) is an insurance company
investing assets of its general account and the exemption provided by Section
III(a) of Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Exemption 95-60, 60 Fed.
Reg. 35925 (July 12, 1995) (the "Exemption") applies to such transferee's
acquisition and holding of such Certificate, or (ii) an opinion of counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee, which opinion shall not be an expense of the
Trustee or the Company, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such
Certificate will not constitute or result in the assets of the Trust Fund being
deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions
of ERISA or Section 4975 and will not subject the Trustee or the Company to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement; provided, however,
that the Trustee will not require such certificate or opinion in the event that,
as a result of a change of law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory to the Trustee
has rendered an opinion to the effect that the purchase and holding of a Class
M, Class B1, Class B2, Class B3, Class B4 or Class B5 Certificate by a Plan or a
Person that is purchasing or holding such Certificate with the assets of a Plan
will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section
4975.
Any transferee of a beneficial interest in any Class M, Class B1, Class B2,
Class B3, Class B4 or Class B5 Certificate which is in the form of a Book-Entry
Certificate will be deemed to have made one of the representations set forth in
the paragraph above unless the Trustee and the Company have received an opinion
of counsel referred to in the paragraph above. Notwithstanding anything else to
the contrary herein, any purported transfer of a Class M, Class B1, Class B2,
Class B3, Class B4 or Class B5 Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan, without
the delivery to the Trustee and the Company of an opinion of counsel as
described above, shall be void and of no effect.
As provided in the Agreement, and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate
Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the office or agency maintained by the Trustee in the city in which
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located or in the City of New York,

hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing
the same aggregate Percentage Interest as requested by the Holder surrendering
the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement, and the Trust
Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders, or
provision therefor, in accordance with the Agreement following the earlier of
(a) the repurchase by the Company of all Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund at a price
equal to the sum of (x) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan described in clause (y)) plus accrued and

acquired upon foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan. The right of the Company to repurchase all the Mortgage Loans and property
in respect of Mortgage Loans is subject to the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance
at the time of repurchase being less than 10 percent of the Pool Scheduled

Trustee or the Company, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such
Certificate will not constitute or result in the assets of the Trust Fund being
deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions
of ERISA or Section 4975 and will not subject the Trustee or the Company to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement; provided, however,
that the Trustee will not require such certificate or opinion in the event that,
as a result of a change of law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory to the Trustee
has rendered an opinion to the effect that the purchase and holding of a Class
M, Class B1, Class B2, Class B3, Class B4 or Class B5 Certificate by a Plan or a
Person that is purchasing or holding such Certificate with the assets of a Plan
will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section
4975.
Any transferee of a beneficial interest in any Class M, Class B1, Class B2,
Class B3, Class B4 or Class B5 Certificate which is in the form of a Book-Entry
Certificate will be deemed to have made one of the representations set forth in
the paragraph above unless the Trustee and the Company have received an opinion
of counsel referred to in the paragraph above. Notwithstanding anything else to
the contrary herein, any purported transfer of a Class M, Class B1, Class B2,
Class B3, Class B4 or Class B5 Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan, without
the delivery to the Trustee and the Company of an opinion of counsel as
described above, shall be void and of no effect.
As provided in the Agreement, and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate
Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the office or agency maintained by the Trustee in the city in which
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located or in the City of New York,
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company, the Trustee, and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder
hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing
the same aggregate Percentage Interest as requested by the Holder surrendering
the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement, and the Trust
Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders, or
provision therefor, in accordance with the Agreement following the earlier of
(a) the repurchase by the Company of all Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund at a price
equal to the sum of (x) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan described in clause (y)) plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon at the rate provided for in the Agreement (less any
amounts representing previously unreimbursed Monthly Advances) and (y) the
appraised value of any property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan
determined as provided in the Agreement, and (b) the later of the final payment
or other liquidation (or any Monthly Advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all property
acquired upon foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan. The right of the Company to repurchase all the Mortgage Loans and property
in respect of Mortgage Loans is subject to the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance
at the time of repurchase being less than 10 percent of the Pool Scheduled
Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date. The Company's exercise of such right
will result in early retirement of the Certificates.
Unless this Certificate has been countersigned by the Trustee, by manual
signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

"Agreement"), between the Company and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as
trustee (the "Trustee"), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of
which is set forth herein below. To the extent not defined herein, the terms
used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is
issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the
acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
The Agreement requires the distribution on the 25th day of each month or, if
such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the
"Distribution Date"), commencing in August 2000, to the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day
of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the "Record

Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate pursuant to the
Agreement.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made by the Trustee by check or money
order mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address appearing in the
Certificate Register or, upon written request by the Certificateholder, by such
other means of payment as such Person and the Trustee shall agree. Except as
otherwise provided in the Agreement, the final distribution on this Certificate

As provided in the Agreement and with certain exceptions therein provided,
certain losses on the Mortgage Loans resulting from defaults by Mortgagors will

benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the rights, duties and

evidencing not less than 66% of all the Voting Rights as defined in the

conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
No transfer of any Class R Certificate shall be made to any Person unless the
Trustee has received a certificate from such transferee to the effect that,
among other things, such transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to
ERISA or a Plan or a Person that is using the assets of a Plan to acquire any
such Class R Certificate.
As provided in the Agreement, and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate

evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class of authorized denominations evidencing
the same aggregate Percentage Interest as requested by the Holder surrendering
the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is

provision therefor, in accordance with the Agreement following the earlier of

July 1, 2000, no transfer of the Residual Certificates shall be permitted to be
made to any person unless the Trustee has received a certificate from such
transferee to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
subject to ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code and is not using
the assets of any employee benefit plan or other plan to acquire Residual
Certificates.
6. That the Purchaser does not have the intention to impede the assessment
or collection of any federal, state or local taxes legally required to be paid
with respect to such Residual Certificate.
7. That the Purchaser will not transfer a Residual Certificate to any
person or entity (i) as to which the Purchaser has actual knowledge that the
requirements set forth in paragraph 3 or paragraph 9 hereof are not satisfied or
that the Purchaser has reason to believe does not satisfy the requirements set
forth in paragraph 6 hereof, and (ii) without obtaining from the prospective
Purchaser an affidavit substantially in this form and providing to the Trustee a
written statement substantially in the form of Exhibit G to the Agreement.
8. That the Purchaser understands that, as the holder of a Residual
Certificate, the Purchaser may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows
generated by the interest and that it intends to pay taxes associated with
holding such Residual Certificate as they become due.
9. That the Purchaser (i) is not a Non-U.S. Person or (ii) is a Non-U.S.
Person that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a
trade or business within the United States and has furnished the transferor and
the Trustee with an effective Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or successor
form at the time and in the manner required by the Code or (iii) is a Non-U.S.
Person that has delivered to both the transferor and the Trustee an opinion of a
nationally recognized tax counsel to the effect that the transfer of such
Residual Certificate to it is in accordance with the requirements of the Code
and the regulations promulgated thereunder and that such transfer of a Residual
Certificate will not be disregarded for federal income tax purposes. "Non-U.S.
Person" means an individual, corporation, partnership or other person other than
(i) a citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation (or entity
treated as a corporation for tax purposes) created or organized in the United
States or under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof,
including, for this purpose, the District of Columbia; (iii) a partnership (or
entity treated as a partnership for tax purposes) organized in the United States
or under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof, including, for
this purpose, the District of Columbia (unless provided otherwise by future
Treasury regulations); (iv) an estate whose income is includible in gross income
for United States income tax purposes regardless of its source; or (v) a trust,
if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over
the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. Persons have authority to
control all substantial decisions of the trust. Notwithstanding the last clause
of the preceding sentence, to the extent provided in Treasury regulations,
certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996, and treated as U.S. Persons
prior to such date, may elect to continue to be U.S. Persons.
10. That the Purchaser agrees to such amendments of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement as may be required to further effectuate the restrictions on
transfer of any Residual Certificate to such a "disqualified organization," an
agent thereof, or a person that does not satisfy the requirements of paragraph 7
and paragraph 10 hereof.
11. That the Purchaser consents to the designation of the Company as its
agent to act as "tax matters person" of the Trust Fund, pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.

Re: GE Capital Mortgage Services, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
1. The undersigned, a [title of officer] _______________ of [name of
Investor] _________________________________________ (the "Investor"), a
______________ ___________________ [description of type of entity] duly
organized and existing under the laws of the [State of __________________]
[United States], hereby certifies as follows:
2. The Investor hereby acknowledges that under the terms of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement between State Street Bank and Trust Company, as
Trustee, and GE Capital Mortgage Services, Inc. (the "Company"), dated as of
July 1, 2000 (the "Agreement"), no transfer of a Restricted Certificate may be
made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and any applicable
state securities laws, or is made in accordance with the Securities Act and such
laws.
3. The Investor understands that (a) the Restricted Certificates
have not been and will not be registered or qualified under the Securities Act,
or the securities laws of any state, (b) neither the Company nor the Trustee is
required, and neither intends, to so register or qualify the Restricted
Certificates, (c) the Restricted Certificates cannot be resold unless (i) they
are registered and qualified under the Securities Act and the applicable state
securities laws or (ii) such sale is exempt from the requirements of the
Securities Act, (d) the Agreement contains restrictions regarding the transfer
of the Restricted Certificates and (e) the Restricted Certificates will bear a
legend to the foregoing effect.
4. The Investor is acquiring the Restricted Certificates for its own
account for investment only and not with a view to or for sale or other transfer
in connection with any distribution of the Restricted Certificates in any manner
that would violate the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.
5. The Investor (a) is a substantial, sophisticated institutional
investor having such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters,
and in particular in such matters related to securities similar to the
Restricted Certificates, such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of investment in the Restricted Certificates, (b) is able to bear the
economic risks of such an investment and (c) is an "accredited investor" within
the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) promulgated pursuant to the
Securities Act.
6. The Investor will not authorize nor has it authorized any person
to (a) offer, pledge, sell, dispose of or otherwise transfer any Restricted

a pledge, disposition or other transfer of any Restricted Certificate, any

person in any manner, (c) otherwise approach or negotiate with respect to any
Restricted Certificate, any interest in any Restricted Certificate or any other
similar security with any person in any manner, (d) make any general
solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or (e) take
any other action that would constitute a distribution of any Restricted
Certificate under the Securities Act, that would render the disposition of any
Restricted Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any
state securities law, or that could require registration or qualification
pursuant thereto. Neither the Investor nor anyone acting on its behalf has
offered the Restricted Certificates for sale or made any general solicitation by
means of general advertising or in any other manner with respect to the
Restricted Certificates. The Investor will not sell or otherwise transfer any of
the Restricted Certificates, except in compliance with the provisions of the
Agreement.
7. If an Investor in a Restricted Certificate sells or otherwise
transfers any such Certificate to a transferee other than a "qualified
institutional buyer" under Rule 144A of the Securities Act, such Investor will
obtain (a) from any subsequent purchaser the same certifications,
representations, warranties and covenants contained in the foregoing paragraphs
and in this paragraph or (b) an opinion of counsel in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to the Agreement.
8. The Investor hereby indemnifies the Trustee and the Company
against any liability that may result if the Investor's transfer of a Restricted
Certificate (or any portion thereof) is not exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or
is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. Such indemnification
of the Trustee and the Company shall survive the termination of the Agreement.
[9. The Restricted Certificates shall be registered in the name

SPECIAL SERVICING PROCEDURES
Section 2.01. Reports and Notices.
(a) In connection with the performance of its duties under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the realization
upon defaulted Mortgage Loans, the Company as Servicer shall
provide to the Purchaser the following notices and reports:
(i) Within five Business Days after each Distribution Date
(or included in or with the monthly statements to
Certificateholders pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement), the Company, as Servicer, shall provide to
the Purchaser a report, using the same methodology and
calculations in its standard servicing reports,
indicating for the Trust Fund the number of Mortgage
Loans that are (A) thirty days, (B) sixty days, (C)
ninety days or more delinquent or (D) in foreclosure,
and indicating for each such Mortgage Loan the loan
number and outstanding principal balance.
(ii) Prior to the Commencement of Foreclosure in connection
with any Mortgage Loan, the Company shall provide the
Purchaser with a notice (sent by facsimile transmission)
of such proposed and imminent foreclosure, stating the
loan number and the aggregate amount owing under the
Mortgage Loan. Such notice may be provided to the
Purchaser in the form of a copy of a referral letter
from the Company to an attorney requesting the
institution of foreclosure or a copy of a request to
foreclose received by the Company from the related
primary servicer which has been approved by the Company.
(b) If requested by the Purchaser, the Company shall make its
servicing personnel available (during their normal business
hours) to respond to reasonable inquiries, in writing by
facsimile transmission, by the Purchaser in connection with
any Mortgage Loan identified in a report under subsection
(a)(i) or (a)(ii) which has been given to the Purchaser,
provided, that (1) the Company shall only be required to
provide information that is readily accessible to its
servicing personnel and is non-confidential and (2) the
Company shall respond within five Business Days orally or in
writing by facsimile transmission.
(c) In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall provide to the
Purchaser such information as the Purchaser may reasonably
request concerning each Mortgage Loan that is at least sixty
days delinquent and each Mortgage Loan which has become real
estate owned, through the final liquidation thereof, provided,
that the Company shall only be required to provide information
that is readily accessible to its servicing personnel and is
non-confidential.
Section 2.02. Purchaser's Election to Delay Foreclosure Proceedings.
(a) The Purchaser shall be deemed to direct the Company that in
the event that the Company does not receive written notice of
the Purchaser's election pursuant to subsection (b) below
within 24 hours (exclusive of any intervening non-Business
Days) of transmission of the notice provided by the Company
under Section 2.01(a)(ii) subject to extension as set forth in
Section 2.02(b), the Company may proceed with the Commencement
of Foreclosure in respect of such Mortgage Loan in accordance
with its normal foreclosure policies without further notice to
the Purchaser. Any foreclosure that has been initiated may be
discontinued (i) without notice to the Purchaser if the
Mortgage Loan has been brought current or if a refinancing or
prepayment occurs with respect to the Mortgage Loan (including
by means of a short payoff approved by the Company) or (ii)
with notice to the Purchaser if the Company has reached the
terms of a forbearance agreement with the borrower. In such
latter case the Company may complete such forbearance
agreement unless instructed otherwise by the Purchaser within
two Business Days of notification.
(b) In connection with any Mortgage Loan with respect to which a
notice under Section 2.01(a)(ii) has been given to the
Purchaser, the Purchaser may elect to instruct the Company to
delay the Commencement of Foreclosure until such time as the
Purchaser determines that the Company may proceed with the
Commencement of Foreclosure. Such election must be evidenced
by written notice received within 24 hours (exclusive of any
intervening non-Business Days) of transmission of the notice
provided by the Company under Section 2.01(a)(ii). The
Purchaser shall send a copy of such notice of election to each
Rating Agency as soon as practicable thereafter. Such 24-hour
period shall be extended for no longer than an additional four
Business Days after the receipt of the information if the
Purchaser requests additional information related to such
foreclosure within such 24-hour period; provided, however,
that the Purchaser will have at least one Business Day to make
such election following its receipt of any requested
additional information. Any such additional information shall
(i) not be confidential in nature and (ii) be obtainable by
the Company from existing reports, certificates or statements
or otherwise be readily accessible to its servicing personnel.
The Purchaser agrees that it has no right to deal with the
mortgagor. However, if the Company's normal foreclosure
policies include acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure
or short payoff, the Purchaser will be notified and given two
Business Days to respond.
(c) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser
has made an Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Purchaser shall
obtain a Current Appraisal as soon as practicable, and shall
provide the Company with a copy of such Current Appraisal.
(d) Within two Business Days of making any Election to Delay
Foreclosure, the Purchaser shall remit by wire transfer to the
Trustee, for deposit in the Collateral Fund, an amount, as
calculated by the Company, equal to the sum of (i) 125% of the
greater of the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loan and the value shown in the Current Appraisal referred to
in subsection (c) above (or, if such Current Appraisal has not
yet been obtained, the Company's estimate thereof, in which
case the required deposit under this subsection shall be
adjusted upon obtaining such Current Appraisal), and (ii)
three months' interest on the Mortgage Loan at the applicable
Mortgage Rate. If any Election to Delay Foreclosure extends
for a period in excess of three months (such excess period
being referred to herein as the "Excess Period"), the
Purchaser shall remit by wire transfer in advance to the
Trustee for deposit in the Collateral Fund the amount of each
additional month's interest, as calculated by the Company,
equal to interest on the Mortgage Loan at the applicable
Mortgage Rate for the Excess Period. The terms of this
Agreement will no longer apply to the servicing of any
Mortgage Loan upon the failure of the Purchaser to deposit the
above amounts relating to the Mortgage Loan within two
Business Days of (i) the Election to Delay Foreclosure or (ii)
the beginning of the related Excess Period, as the case may
be.
(e) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser
has made an Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Company or the
Trustee may withdraw from the Collateral Fund from time to
time amounts necessary to reimburse the Company for all
related Monthly Advances and Liquidation Expenses thereafter
made by the Company as Servicer in accordance with the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. To the extent that the amount of any
such Liquidation Expense is determined by the Company based on
estimated costs, and the actual costs are subsequently
determined to be higher, the Company or the Trustee may
withdraw the additional amount from the Collateral Fund to
reimburse the Company. In the event that the Mortgage Loan is
brought current by the mortgagor, the amounts so withdrawn
from the Collateral Fund shall be redeposited therein as and
to the extent that reimbursement therefor from amounts paid by
the mortgagor is not prohibited pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement as of the date hereof. Except as provided
in the preceding sentence, amounts withdrawn from the
Collateral Fund to cover Monthly Advances and Liquidation
Expenses shall not be redeposited therein or otherwise
reimbursed to the Purchaser. If and when any such Mortgage
Loan is brought current by thE mortgagor, all amounts
remaining in the Collateral Fund in respect of such Mortgage
Loan (after adjustment for all previous withdrawals and
deposits pursuant to this subsection and after reimbursement
to the Servicer for all related Monthly Advances) shall be
released to the Purchaser.
(f) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser
has made an Election to Delay Foreclosure, the Company shall
continue to service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with its
customary procedures (other than the delay in Commencement of
Foreclosure as provided herein). If and when, following such
election, the Purchaser shall notify the Company that it
believes that it is appropriate to do so, the Company shall
proceed with the Commencement of Foreclosure; provided that,
in any event, if the Mortgage Loan is not brought current by
the mortgagor by the time the loan becomes 6 months
delinquent, the Purchaser's election shall no longer be
effective, unless the Purchaser shall have purchased the
related Mortgage Loan promptly following (and in any event not
later than the third Business Day after) the end of such
6-month period in the manner provided in the following two
sentences, and the Company shall be entitled to proceed with
the Commencement of Foreclosure. Any purchase of such Mortgage
Loan by the Purchaser pursuant to the preceding sentence shall
be at a purchase price equal to the unpaid principal balance
of the Mortgage Loan plus accrued interest at the Mortgage
Rate from the date last paid by the mortgagor. Such purchase
price shall be deposited by the Purchaser into the Collateral
Fund in immediately available funds on the Business Day which
is the date of purchase and the Purchaser shall instruct the
Trustee (with notice to the Company) to withdraw such amount
therefrom on such Business Day and remit the same to the Trust
Fund for application as Liquidation Proceeds pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Following such withdrawal,
all amounts remaining in the Collateral Fund in respect of
such Mortgage Loan (after adjustment for all previous
withdrawals and deposits pursuant to this Agreement and after
reimbursement to the Servicer for all related Monthly
Advances) shall be released to the Purchaser.
(g) Upon the occurrence of a liquidation with respect to any
Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser made an Election to
Delay Foreclosure and as to which the Company proceeded with
the Commencement of Foreclosure in accordance with subsection
(f) above, the Company shall calculate the amount, if any, by
which the value shown on the Current Appraisal obtained under
subsection (c) exceeds the actual sales price obtained for the
related Mortgaged Property (net of Liquidation Expenses and
unreimbursed Monthly Advances related to the extended
foreclosure period), and the Company or the Trustee shall
withdraw the amount of such excess from the Collateral Fund
and shall remit the same to the Trust Fund for application as
additional Liquidation Proceeds pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. After making such withdrawal, all amounts
remaining in the Collateral Fund in respect of such Mortgage
Loan (after adjustment for all withdrawals and deposits
pursuant to subsection (e) and after reimbursement to the
Servicer for all related Monthly Advances) shall be released
to the Purchaser.
Section 2.03. Purchaser's Election to Commence Foreclosure Proceedings.
(a) In connection with any Mortgage Loan identified in a report
under Section 2.01(a)(i)(B), the Purchaser may elect to
instruct the Company to proceed with the Commencement of
Foreclosure as soon as practicable. Such election must be
evidenced by written notice received by the Company by 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day following
the delivery of such report under Section 2.01(a)(i).
(b) Within two Business Days of making any Election to Foreclose,
the Purchaser shall remit to the Trustee, for deposit in the
Collateral Fund, an amount, as calculated by the Company,
equal to 125% of the current Scheduled Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loan and three months' interest on the Mortgage
Loan at the applicable Mortgage Rate. If and when any such
Mortgage Loan is brought current by the mortgagor, all amounts
in the Collateral Fund in respect of such Mortgage Loan (after
adjustment for all withdrawals and deposits pursuant to
subsection (c) below) shall be released to the Purchaser. The
terms of this Agreement will no longer apply to the servicing
of any Mortgage Loan upon the failure of the Purchaser to
deposit the above amounts relating to the Mortgage Loan within
two Business Days of the Election to Foreclose.
(c) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser
has made an Election to Foreclose, the Company shall continue
to service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with its customary
procedures. In connection therewith, the Company shall have
the same rights to make withdrawals for Monthly Advances and
Liquidation Expenses from the Collateral Fund as are provided
under Section 2.02(e), and the Company shall make
reimbursements thereto to the limited extent provided under
such subsection. The Company shall not be required to proceed
with the Commencement of Foreclosure if (i) the same is stayed
as a result of the mortgagor's bankruptcy or is otherwise
barred by applicable law, or to the extent that all legal
conditions precedent thereto have not yet been complied with,
or (ii) the Company believes there is a breach of
representations or warranties by the Company, which may result
in a repurchase or substitution of such Mortgage Loan, or
(iii) the Company has or expects to have the right under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to purchase the defaulted
Mortgage Loan and intends to exercise such right or (iv) the
Company reasonably believes the Mortgaged Property may be
contaminated with or affected by hazardous wastes or hazardous
substances (and the Company supplies the Purchaser with
information supporting such belief) or (v) the same is
prohibited by or is otherwise inconsistent with the provisions
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any foreclosure that
has been initiated may be discontinued (i) without notice to
the Purchaser if the Mortgage Loan has been brought current or
if a refinancing or prepayment occurs with respect to the
Mortgage Loan (including by means of a short payoff approved
by the Purchaser) or (ii) with notice to the Purchaser if the
Company has reached the terms of a forbearance agreement
unless instructed otherwise by the Purchaser within two
Business Days of notification.
(d) Upon the occurrence of a liquidation with respect to any
Mortgage Loan as to which the Purchaser made an Election to
Foreclose and as to which the Company proceeded with the
Commencement of Foreclosure in accordance with subsection (c)
above, the Company shall calculate the amount, if any, by
which the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan at
the time of liquidation (plus all unreimbursed Monthly
Advances and Liquidation Expenses in connection therewith
other than those previously paid from the Collateral Fund)
exceeds the actual sales price obtained for the related
Mortgaged Property, and the Company or the Trustee shall
withdraw the amount of such excess from the Collateral Fund
and shall remit the same to the Trust Fund for application as
additional Liquidation Proceeds pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. After making such withdrawal, all amounts
remaining in the Collateral Fund (after adjustment for all
withdrawals and deposits pursuant to subsection (c) above and
after reimbursement to the Servicer for all related Monthly
Advances) in respect of such Mortgage Loan shall be released
to the Purchaser.
Section 2.04. Termination.
(a) With respect to all Mortgage Loans included in the Trust Fund,
the Purchaser's right to make any Election to Delay
Foreclosure or any Election to Foreclose and the Company's
obligations under Section 2.01 shall terminate on the earliest
to occur of the following: (i) at such time as the Class
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B_ Certificates has
been reduced to zero, (ii) if the greater of (x) 43% (or such
lower or higher percentage that represents the Company's
actual loss experience with respect to the Mortgage Loans) of
the aggregate principal balance of all Mortgage Loans that are
in foreclosure or are more than 90 days delinquent on a
contractual basis and the aggregate book value of REO
properties or (y) the aggregate amount that the Company
estimates through its normal servicing practices will be
required to be withdrawn from the Collateral Fund with respect
to Mortgage Loans as to which the Purchaser has made an
Election to Delay Foreclosure or an Election to Foreclose
exceeds (z) the then-current Class Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class B_ Certificates, or (iii) upon any
transfer by the Purchaser of any interest (other than the
minority interest therein, but only if the transferee provides
written acknowledgment to the Company of the Purchaser's right
hereunder and that such transferee will have no rights
hereunder) in the Class B_ Certificates [or in the Class B5
Certificates] (whether or not such transfer is registered
under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), including any such
transfer in connection with a termination of the Trust Fund.
Unless earlier terminated as set forth herein, this Agreement
and the respective rights, obligations and responsibilities of
the Purchaser and the Company hereunder shall terminate
immediately upon (x) the later to occur of (i) the final
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan as to which the
Purchaser made any Election to Delay Foreclosure or any
Election to Foreclose and the withdrawal of all remaining
amounts in the Collateral Fund as provided herein and (ii) ten
(10) Business Days' notice or (y) the occurrence of any event
that results in the Purchaser becoming an "affiliate" of the
Trustee within the meaning of the Prohibited Transaction
Exemption (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement).
(b) The Purchaser's rights pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 of
this Agreement shall terminate with respect to a Mortgage Loan
as to which the Purchaser has exercised its rights under
Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof, upon Purchaser's failure to
deposit any amounts required pursuant to Section 2.02(d) or
2.03(b) after one Business Day's notice of such failure.
Section 2.05. Notification. The Purchaser shall promptly notify the
Trustee and the Company if such Purchaser becomes aware of any discussions,
plans or events that might lead to such Person's becoming an "affiliate" (within
the meaning of the Prohibited Transaction Exemption) of the Trustee, provided
that the contents of any such notification shall be kept confidential by the
parties to this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
COLLATERAL FUND; SECURITY INTEREST
Section 3.01. Collateral Fund. Upon payment by the Purchaser of the
initial amount required to be deposited in the Collateral Fund pursuant to
Article II, the Company shall request the Trustee to establish and maintain with
the Trustee a segregated account entitled "REMIC Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates 20__-__ Collateral Fund, for the benefit of GE Capital Mortgage
Services, Inc. and State Street Bank and Trust Company on behalf of
Certificateholders, as secured parties" (the "Collateral Fund"). Amounts held in
the Collateral Fund shall continue to be the property of the Purchaser, subject
to the first priority security interest granted hereunder for the benefit of
such secured parties, until withdrawn from the Collateral Fund pursuant to the
Section 2.02 or 2.03 hereof.
Upon the termination of this Agreement and the liquidation of all
Mortgage Loans as to which the Purchaser has made any Election to Delay
Foreclosure or any Election to Foreclose pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof, the
Company shall distribute to the Purchaser all amounts remaining in the
Collateral Fund together with any investment earnings thereon (after giving
effect to all withdrawals therefrom permitted under this Agreement).
The Purchaser shall not take or direct the Company or the Trustee to
take any action contrary to any provision of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. In no event shall the Purchaser (i) take or cause the Trustee or the
Company to take any action that could cause any REMIC established under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the
imposition on any such REMIC of any "prohibited transaction" or "prohibited
contribution" taxes or (ii) cause the Trustee or the Company to fail to take any
action necessary to maintain the status of any such REMIC as a REMIC. The
Purchaser acknowledges that the Collateral Fund is an "outside reserve fund"
within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions and that the Purchaser will be the
beneficial owner thereof, and will be taxable on all income or gain with respect
thereto.
Section 3.02. Collateral Fund Permitted Investments. The Company shall, at
the written direction of the Purchaser, direct the Trustee to invest the funds
in the Collateral Fund in the name of the Trustee in Collateral Fund Permitted
Investments. Such direction shall not be changed more frequently then quarterly.
In the absence of any direction, the Company shall direct the Trustee select
such investments in accordance with the definition of Collateral Fund Permitted
Investments in its discretion.
All income and gain realized from any investment as well as any
interest earned on deposits in the Collateral Fund (net of any losses on such
investments) and any payments of principal made in respect of any Collateral
Fund Permitted Investment shall be deposited in the Collateral Fund upon
receipt. All costs and realized losses associated with the purchase and sale of
Collateral Fund Permitted Investments shall be borne by the Purchaser and the
amount of net realized losses shall be promptly deposited by the Purchaser in
the Collateral Fund. The Company shall periodically (but not more frequently
than monthly) direct the Trustee to distribute to the Purchaser upon request an
amount of cash, to the extent cash is available therefor in the Collateral Fund,
equal to the amount by which the balance of the Collateral Fund, after giving
effect to all other distributions to be made from the Collateral Fund on such
date, exceeds the Required Collateral Fund Balance. Any amounts so distributed
shall be released from the lien and security interest of this Agreement.
Section 3.03. Grant of Security Interest. In order to secure the
obligations of the Purchaser hereunder to the Company and the Trustee for the
benefit of Certificateholders (other than its obligations under Section 4.10),
the Purchaser hereby grants to the Company and to the Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholders a security interest in and lien on all of the Purchaser's
right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to:
(1) the Collateral Fund, (2) all amounts deposited in the Collateral Fund and
Collateral Fund Permitted Investments in which such amounts are invested (and
the distributions and proceeds of such investments) and (3) all cash and
non-cash proceeds of any of the foregoing, including proceeds of the voluntary
or involuntary conversion thereof (all of the foregoing collectively, the
"Collateral").
The Purchaser acknowledges the lien on and security interest in the
Collateral for the benefit of the Company and the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. The Purchaser shall take all actions requested by the
Company or the Trustee as may be reasonably necessary to perfect the security
interest created under this Agreement in the Collateral and cause it to be prior
to all other security interests and liens, including the execution and delivery
to the Company or at its direction the Trustee for filing of appropriate
financing statements in accordance with applicable law.
Section 3.04. Collateral Shortfalls. In the event that amounts on deposit
in the Collateral Fund at any time are insufficient to cover any withdrawals
therefrom that the Company or the Trustee is then entitled to make hereunder,
the Purchaser shall be obligated to pay such amounts to the Company or the
Trustee immediately upon demand. Such obligation shall constitute a general
corporate obligation of the Purchaser. The failure to pay such amounts within
two Business Days of such demand (except for amounts to cover interest on a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 2.02(d) and 2.03(b)), shall cause an
immediate termination of the Purchaser's right to make any Election to Delay
Foreclosure or Election to Foreclose and the Company's obligations under this
Agreement with respect to all Mortgage Loans to which such insufficiencies
relate, without the necessity of any further notice or demand on the part of the
Company.
ARTICLE IV
