CMC SECURITIES CORPORATION IV
COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS
(Issuable in Series)
UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT
October 28, 1997
Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette
Securities Corporation
277 Park Avenue
New York, New York 10172
Ladies and Gentlemen:
CMC Securities Corporation IV (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation
and wholly-owned subsidiary of Capstead Mortgage Corporation, a Maryland
corporation ("Capstead"), proposes to issue its Collateralized Mortgage
Obligations of the series (each, a "Series") and classes designated at the time
of sale (the "Bonds"). The Bonds shall be issued under an indenture, dated as
of October 1, 1997 (the "Original Indenture"), between the Company and U.S.
Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Indenture Trustee"), as
supplemented from time to time by one or more supplemental indentures, each
providing for the issuance of a Series of Bonds (the "Series Supplements")
between the Company and the Indenture Trustee. Such Original Indenture, as
supplemented from time to time hereafter, and as supplemented by the Series
Supplements, with any changes therein made with your consent, and, with your
consent any other indenture is herein referred to as the "Indenture." Capstead
joins this agreement for the purposes set forth herein.
Underwritten Offerings of Bonds may be made through you or through an
underwriting syndicate managed by you. The Company proposes to sell one or
more Series of the Bonds or certain Classes of Bonds of one or more Series to
you and to each of the other several underwriters, if any, participating in an
underwriting syndicate managed by you. It is understood, however, that the
Company may elect to retain, through the execution of one or more underwriting
agreements in addition to this Agreement, one or more additional underwriters
other than you to underwrite, or manage the underwriting syndicate with respect
to, any offering of one or more Series of its Bonds.
<PAGE> 2
Whenever the Company determines to make such an offering of Bonds
through you, it will enter into an agreement (the "Terms Agreement") providing
for the sale of such Bonds to, and the purchase and offering thereof by, you
and such other underwriters, if any, selected by you as have authorized you to
enter into such Terms Agreement on their behalf (the underwriters designated in
any such Terms Agreement being referred to herein as "Underwriters," which term
shall include you whether acting alone in the sale of any Series of Bonds or as
a member of the underwriting syndicate). The Terms Agreement relating to each
offering of Bonds shall specify the principal amount of Bonds to be issued and
their terms not otherwise specified in the Indenture, a brief description of
the Conventional Certificates (as defined below) to be pledged as security
therefor, the names of the Underwriters participating in such offering (subject
to substitution as provided in Section 11 hereof) and the principal amount of
the Bonds which each severally agrees to purchase, the names of such other
Underwriters, if any, acting as co-managers with you in connection with such
offering, the price at which the Bonds are to be purchased by the Underwriters
from the Company, the initial public offering price (or the manner in which
such prices shall be determined), the time and place of delivery of and payment
for the Bonds, and such other information as may be agreed upon. The Terms
Agreement, which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, may
take the form of an exchange of any standard form of written telecommunication
between you and the Company. Each offering of Bonds through you will be
governed by this Agreement, as supplemented by the applicable Terms Agreement,
and this Agreement and such Terms Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and
be binding upon each Underwriter participating in the offering of such Bonds.
At their date of issuance, the Bonds of each Series underwritten by
you will be secured by a pledge to the Indenture Trustee of, among other
things, Conventional Certificates (as defined in the Indenture) (collectively,
the "Conventional Certificates"). The Bonds are more fully described in the
Registration Statement (as defined below). Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Indenture.
The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 33-47912), a related
preliminary prospectus and related preliminary prospectus supplements for the
registration of the Bonds under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"),
which registration statement, as most recently amended, was declared effective
on August 18, 1994. Such registration statement, as from time to time amended
through the date of the Terms Agreement, including all exhibits thereto and all
documents therein incorporated by reference from time to time pursuant to Item
12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act that were filed under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"), on or before the effective date of such
registration statement, but excluding the Statement of Eligibility and
Qualification (Form T-1) under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the "1939
Act"), is hereinafter referred to as the "Registration Statement." The
prospectus in the form in which it appears in the Registration Statement,
including all documents therein incorporated by reference from time to time
pursuant to the 1934 Act, is hereinafter referred to as the "Basic Prospectus".
The Basic Prospectus, as amended
-2-
<PAGE> 3
to the date hereof and as supplemented by the prospectus supplement or
supplements relating to a particular Series of the Bonds, each in the form
first filed after the date of the related Terms Agreement with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, including any documents incorporated
by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act that
were filed under the 1934 Act on or before the date of such prospectus
supplement (such prospectus supplement, including such incorporated documents,
in the form first filed after the date of the related Terms Agreement pursuant
to Rule 424(b) being hereinafter termed the "Prospectus Supplement"), is
hereinafter referred to as the "Final Prospectus". Any reference herein to the
terms "amend", "amendment" or "supplement" with respect to the Registration
Statement, the Final Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to
refer to and include the filing of any document under the 1934 Act after the
effective date of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Final
Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be, deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the
1933 Act.

its charter or bylaws. The Company is not in default in the
performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or
condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan
agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which it is a party or

defaults separately or in the aggregate would have a material adverse
effect on the Company.
(j) The Company owns or possesses or has obtained all
material governmental licenses, permits, consents, orders, approvals

any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now
pending against the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company and
Capstead, threatened against the Company (except as set forth in the
Registration Statement or, if later, the applicable Final Prospectus)
which could reasonably be expected to result in any material adverse
change in the condition, financial or otherwise, earnings, business
affairs, or business prospects of the Company which could reasonably
be expected to interfere with or materially and adversely affect the
consummation of the transactions contemplated herein.
(l) The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Indenture, the related pooling and servicing agreement ("Pooling and
Servicing Agreement"), and the related assignment, assumption and
recognition agreements executed by the Company or by CCC (as
applicable, the "Assignment Agreements"), the incurrence of the
obligations herein set forth and the consummation of the transactions

-5-
<PAGE> 6
laws affecting creditors' rights generally, and to general principles

Agreement, the Indenture, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
related Assignment Agreements or the Terms Agreement, the incurrence
of the obligations herein or therein set forth, nor the consummation
of the transactions contemplated herein or therein will conflict with
or constitute a breach of, or default under, or result in the creation
or imposition of any lien, mortgage, pledge, charge, security interest
or encumbrance (collectively, "Lien") upon any property or assets of
the Company, CCC or Capstead, as applicable, pursuant to any contract,
indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument
to which the Company, CCC or Capstead, as applicable, is a party or by
which any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property or
assets of any of them is subject (other than the Lien created pursuant
to the Indenture), which separately or in the aggregate are material,
nor will any such action result in any violation of the provisions of
the charter or bylaws of either of the Company, CCC or Capstead, or,
to the best of such entity's knowledge, of any law, administrative
regulation or administrative or court decree.
(m) The issuance of the Bonds underwritten by you has
been duly authorized by the Company (or will have been so authorized
prior to each issuance of Bonds underwritten by you) and, when such
Bonds are executed and authenticated and delivered in accordance with
the Indenture and sold to the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement
and any Terms Agreement, such Bonds will be entitled to the benefits
and security provided by the Indenture and will constitute the legal,
valid and binding non-recourse obligations of the Company enforceable
in accordance with their terms, but otherwise subject, as to
enforceability of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally,
and to general principles of equity and equitable remedies (regardless
of whether the enforceability of such remedies is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law).
(n) The Bonds of each Series underwritten by you and the
Indenture will conform in all material respects to the respective
descriptions thereof contained in the applicable Final Prospectus,
except that no representation or warranty is made that the Bonds

other) to assign, pledge and deliver the Initial Collateral to the

Bonds of the applicable Series then being issued and (ii) cash and/or
other assets, if any, in the amount set forth in the related Series
Supplement.
(q) At the Closing Time with respect to a Series of
Bonds, each Conventional Certificate listed on Schedule A to the
Series Supplement relating to the applicable Series of Bonds will have
been duly and validly assigned, pledged and delivered to the Indenture
Trustee, or its nominee, and together with such assignment, pledge and
delivery of each Conventional Certificate, the filing of a UCC-1
financing statement with respect to the Conventional Certificates in
the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Texas and in such
other jurisdictions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate and the
possession by the Indenture Trustee, or its nominee, of the
Conventional Certificates and of the monies and/or other assets, if
any, specified in the related Series Supplement, will create as
security for repayment of the Bonds a valid, perfected first security
interest. The information set forth with respect to the Conventional
Certificates in Schedule A to the related Series Supplement will as of
the Closing Time of such Series be true and correct in all material
respects.
(r) The Company is not, and will not as a result of the
offer and sale of the Bonds as contemplated in this Agreement and any
applicable Terms Agreement become, an "investment company" or under
the "control" of an "investment company" as such terms are defined in

Company Act") which would be required to register under the Investment
Company Act.
(s) The representations and warranties made by the
Company in the Indenture and made in any Officers' Certificate of the
Company delivered pursuant to the Indenture will be true and correct
at the time made and at the Closing Time.
(t) The Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Conventional
Certificates created thereby and the mortgage loans evidenced thereby
shall conform in all material respects to the respective descriptions
thereof contained in the applicable Final Prospectus, except that no

the descriptions thereof (if any) contained in the Current Report.
-7-
<PAGE> 8
(u) Any certificate signed by an officer of the Company
or Capstead and delivered to you or to counsel for the Underwriters
shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company or
Capstead, respectively, to each Underwriter as to the matters covered
thereby.
(v) No consent, approval, authorization, order,
registration or qualification of or with any court or governmental
agency or body of the United States is required for the issue and sale
of the Bonds, or the consummation by the Company of the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Terms Agreement or
the Indenture, except such consents, approvals, authorizations,
registrations or qualifications as may be required under state
securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the purchase and
distribution of the Bonds by the Underwriters or as have been
obtained.
(w) At the Closing Time of a Series, the Bonds of such
Series shall have been rated in the highest rating category by at
least two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations or in
such lower rating categories as are acceptable to the Underwriters.
(x) Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges in
connection with the execution, delivery and issuance of this
Agreement, the related Terms Agreement, the Indenture and the Bonds
have been paid or will be paid at or prior to the Closing Time.
(y) All of the information regarding the characteristics
of the Mortgage Loans contained in the Registration Statement or
furnished to you by the Company in writing or by electronic

Agreement, the Company will prepare a Final Prospectus setting forth

otherwise specified in the Indenture, the names of the Underwriters
participating in the offering and the principal amount of Bonds which
each severally has agreed to purchase, the names of any Underwriters
acting as co-managers with you in connection with the offering, the
price at which the Bonds are to be purchased by the Underwriters from
the Company, and such other information as you and the Company deem

will promptly transmit copies of the Final Prospectus to the
Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424 of the 1933 Act Regulations
and will furnish to the Underwriters named therein as many copies of
the Final Prospectus as you shall reasonably request.
(b) The Company will cause any Computational Materials

delivered by you to the Company pursuant to Section 8 hereof to be

"Current Report") pursuant to Rule 13a-11 under the 1934 Act not later
than the Business Day immediately following the Business Day on which
all such Computational Materials are delivered to counsel for the
Company by you prior to 3:00 p.m. Dallas, Texas time, and will
promptly advise you when such Current Report has been filed, provided
that in any event the Company will cause the Computational Materials
to be so filed not later than the date on which the related Final
Prospectus is required to be so filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the
1933 Act. Such Current Report shall be incorporated by reference in
such Final Prospectus and the related Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the two preceding sentences, the Company shall have no
obligation to file any materials provided by you pursuant to Section 8
("Section 8 Materials") which, in the reasonable determination of the
Company (a "Non-Filing Determination"), are not required to be filed
pursuant to the Kidder Letter (as defined in Section 8 below), or
which contain erroneous information or contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or, when read in conjunction with the Final Prospectus
and Prospectus Supplement, omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading (it being understood, however, that the Company shall have
no obligation to review or pass upon the accuracy or adequacy of, or
to correct, any Computational Materials provided by you to the Company
pursuant to Section 8 hereof); provided that, in the event of a
Non-Filing Determination, the Company
-9-
<PAGE> 10

results in the omission of material information from, the Registration
Statement or in any Final Prospectus then required to be distributed
or which requires the making of a change in the Registration Statement
or any such Final Prospectus in order to make any material statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. The Company will make every reasonable effort to
prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is
issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.
(d) The Company will give you notice of its intention to
file any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or
supplement to the Final Prospectus, whether pursuant to the 1934 Act,

consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(e) The Company will deliver to you, as soon as
practicable, as many signed copies of the Registration Statement as

purposes contemplated by the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act.
(g) If at any time when a prospectus relating to the
Bonds is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act any event occurs
as a result of which the applicable Final Prospectus as then amended
or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact,
or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend such Final
Prospectus to comply with the 1933 Act, the Company, subject to
subparagraph (d) above, promptly will prepare and file with the
Commission an amendment or supplement which will correct such
statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such
compliance; provided, however, that the Company will not be required
to file any such amendment or supplement with respect to any

Enhancement Act of 1984, and will cooperate with you and counsel for
the Underwriters, to determine the eligibility of the Bonds for
investment by institutional investors in such jurisdictions. The
Company will, at your request or the request of counsel for the

as above provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such
qualification shall be required in any jurisdiction where, as a result
thereof, the Company would be subject to general service of process,
other than by reason of the offer and sale of the Bonds, qualification
as a foreign corporation or to taxation as a foreign corporation doing
business in such jurisdiction.
(i) The Company will make generally available to its
security holders and will deliver to you as soon as practicable an
earnings statement, conforming to the requirements of Section 11(a) of
the 1933 Act, covering a period of at least twelve months beginning

(l) The Company, during the period when the Prospectus is
required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, will file promptly all

be required to file any amendment or supplement to the Current Report
incorporated by reference in the Prospectus other than any amendments
or supplements thereto that are furnished to the Company by you
pursuant to Section 8(g) hereof which the Company determines to file
in accordance therewith.

the applicable Terms Agreement and expiring on the date specified in
such Terms Agreement (the "Stand-Off Period"), neither the Company,
Capstead nor the Partnership or any subsidiary thereof will, without

below) in such Final Prospectus (or supplement thereto) shall
not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or any person
controlling any Underwriter) from whom the person asserting
any loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the Bonds that
are the subject thereof if such person did not receive a copy
of a supplement to such Final Prospectus at or prior to the
confirmation of the sale of such Bonds and the untrue
statement or admission of a material fact contained in such
Final Prospectus (or supplement thereto) was corrected (a
"Corrected Statement") in such other supplement and such
supplement was furnished by the Company to you prior to the
delivery of such confirmation; and (C) such indemnity with
respect to any Mortgage Collateral Error shall not inure to
the benefit of any Underwriter (or any person controlling the
Underwriter) from whom the person asserting any loss, claim,
damage or liability received any Computational Materials (or
any written or electronic materials on which the Computational
Materials are based) that were prepared on the basis of such
Mortgage Collateral Error, if, prior to the time of
confirmation of the sale of the applicable Bonds to such
person, the Company notified you in writing of the Mortgage
Collateral Error or provided in written or electronic form
information superseding or correcting such Mortgage Collateral
Error (in any such case a "Corrected Mortgage Collateral
Error"), and such Underwriter failed to notify such person
thereof or to deliver to such person corrected Computational
Materials (or underlying written or electronic materials
relating thereto);

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim,
damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of
the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation,
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever
based, in each case, upon any such untrue statement or
omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if
such settlement is effected with the written consent of the
Company;
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as
incurred (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel chosen by you) reasonably incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against any litigation, or
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened or any claim whatsoever based
upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such
alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any
such expense is not paid under paragraphs (i) or (ii) above;
(b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who
signed the Registration Statement, Capstead and each person, if any,
who controls the Company or Capstead within the meaning of Section 15
of the 1933 Act and the officers and directors of any such person
against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this
Section, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or
alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus,
preliminary prospectus supplement or the Final Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity
with (i) written information furnished to the Company by such
Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any
amendment thereto) or in any preliminary prospectus, preliminary
prospectus supplement or each Final Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement thereto) or (ii) any Computational Materials (or amendments
or supplements thereof) furnished to the Company by such Underwriter
pursuant to Section 8 hereof and incorporated by reference in such
Registration Statement or the related Final Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto (except that no such indemnity shall
be available for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or
actions in respect thereof, resulting from any Mortgage Collateral
Error, other than a Corrected Mortgage Collateral Error).
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against an indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify such
indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the
omission so to notify such indemnifying party will not relieve it from
any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise
than under this Section 6. In case any such action is brought against
any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party or
parties of the
-23-
<PAGE> 24
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party or parties will be
entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that they may elect
by written notice delivered to an indemnified party promptly after
receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified
party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action
include both an indemnified party and an indemnifying party and such
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which
are different from or addition to those available to any indemnifying
party, such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to
select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such
indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from an
indemnifying party or parties to such indemnified party of their
election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by such
indemnified party or counsel, such indemnifying party or parties will
not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6 for any
legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) such
indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in connection
with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to
the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the
indemnifying party or parties shall not be liable for the expenses of
more than one separate counsel approved by the indemnified party or
parties in the case of subparagraph (a) or (b) above, representing the
indemnified parties under subparagraph (a) or (b) above, who are
parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party or parties shall
not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party or
parties to represent such indemnified party or parties within a
reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii)
the indemnifying party or parties have authorized the employment of
counsel for an indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying
parties; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such
liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such
clause (i) or (iii).
(d) The indemnity agreement provided by this Section 6
shall be in addition to any liability the Company and the Underwriters
shall otherwise have.
SECTION 7. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in
Section 6 is for any reason held to be unavailable to or insufficient to hold
harmless the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its
terms, the Company and Capstead, on the one hand, and the Underwriters on the
other, shall:
(a) in the case of any losses, claims, damages and liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) relating to a class or classes of any
Series of Bonds (a "Class" or "Classes," as the case may be) which do
not arise out of or are not based upon any untrue statement or
omission of a material fact in any Computational Materials (or any
amendments or
-24-
<PAGE> 25
supplements thereof), contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities,
claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by said
indemnity agreement incurred in respect of any Class or Classes
underwritten pursuant to this Agreement by the Company or Capstead
and the Underwriter of such Class or Classes, as incurred, in such
proportions that the Underwriter of such Class or Classes is
responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the
difference between the proceeds to the Company appearing on the cover
page of the applicable Final Prospectus and the total of all proceeds
received by such Underwriter from the sale of all Bonds underwritten
by it (the "Underwriting Discount") bears to the total proceeds
received by such Underwriter from such Bonds, and the Company and
Capstead are responsible for the balance;
(b) in the case of any losses, claims, damages and liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) which arise out of or are based upon
any untrue statement or omission of a material fact in any
Computational Materials (or any amendments or supplements thereof),
contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and
expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement
incurred in respect of any Class or Classes underwritten pursuant to
this Agreement by the Company or Capstead, and the Underwriter of such
Class or Classes, as incurred, in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the Company and Capstead on the one hand
and such Underwriter on the other hand in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities,
claims, damages and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that in no
event shall such Underwriter be responsible for an amount greater than
the excess, if any, of (i) the total proceeds received by such
Underwriter in the sale of all Bonds underwritten by it (taking into
account any gains or losses realized by such Underwriter in any
hedging transactions directly related to the Bonds) over (ii) the
proceeds received by the Company in respect of the Bonds purchased by
such Underwriter.
provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, each person, if any, who
controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall
have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter and each director of
the Company, each officer of the Company and Capstead who signed the
Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or
Capstead within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act and the officers and
directors of any such person shall have the same rights to contribution as the
Company or Capstead.
SECTION 8. Computational Materials. (a) As soon as practicable and
in no event later than 3:00 p.m. Dallas, Texas time three Business Days before
the date on which the Final Prospectus relating to the Bonds of a Series is
required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424
under the 1933 Act, you shall deliver to the Company five complete copies of
-25-
<PAGE> 26
all materials provided by you to prospective investors regarding the Class or
Classes being underwritten by you which constitute "Computational Materials"
within the meaning of the no-action letter dated May 20, 1994 issued by the
Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission to Kidder, Peabody Acceptance
Corporation I, Kidder, Peabody & Co. Incorporated, and Kidder Structured Asset
Corporation (the "Kidder Letter"), and the filing of which material is a
condition of the relief granted in such letter (such materials being the
"Computational Materials"). Each delivery of Computational Materials to the
Company pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall be effected by delivering four
copies of such materials to counsel for the Company at Andrews & Kurth L.L.P.,
4400 Thanksgiving Tower, Dallas, Texas 75201, or such other address specified
by such counsel to you in writing, and one copy of such materials to the
Company.
(b) You represent and warrant to and agree with the
Company, as of the date of the related Terms Agreement and as of the
Closing Date, that:
(i) the Computational Materials furnished to the
Company pursuant to Section 8(a) constitute (either in
original, aggregated or consolidated form) all of the
materials furnished to prospective investors by the
Underwriters prior to the time of delivery thereof to the
Company that are required to be filed with the Commission with
respect to the related Bonds in accordance with the Kidder
Letter, and such Computational Materials comply with the
requirements of the Kidder Letter; and
(ii) on the date any such Computational Materials
with respect to such Bonds (or any written or electronic
materials furnished to prospective investors on which the
Computational Materials are based) were last furnished to each
prospective investor and on the date of delivery thereof to
the Company pursuant to Section 8(a) and on the related
Closing Date, such Computational Materials (or materials) did
not and will not include any untrue statement of a material
fact or, when read in conjunction with the Final Prospectus
and Prospectus Supplement, omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you make no representation or warranty as to
whether any Computational Materials (or any written or electronic materials on
which the Computational Materials are based) included or will include any
untrue statement resulting directly from any Mortgage Collateral Error (except
any Corrected Mortgage Collateral Error, with respect to materials prepared
after the receipt by you from the Company of notice of such Corrected Mortgage
Collateral Error or materials superseding or correcting such Corrected Mortgage
Collateral Error).
(c) You acknowledge and agree that the Company has not authorized
and will not authorize the distribution of any Computational Materials to any
prospective investor, and agree that any Computational Materials with respect
to any Series of Bonds furnished to prospective investors
-26-
<PAGE> 27
from and after the date hereof shall include a disclaimer in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Company. You agree that you will not represent to
investors that any Computational Materials were prepared or disseminated on
behalf of the Company. This disclaimer shall not alter the rights or
obligations of the parties hereto pursuant to Sections 6 and 7 hereof.
(d) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Bonds of a
Series is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, it shall be necessary to
amend or supplement the related Final Prospectus as a result of an untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Computational Materials provided
by you pursuant to this Section 8 or the omission to state therein a material
fact required, when considered in conjunction with the Final Prospectus and
Prospectus Supplement, to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, when read in conjunction with the Final Prospectus and Prospectus
Supplement, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend or supplement
any Current Report to comply with the 1933 Act or the rules thereunder, you
promptly will prepare and furnish to the Company for filing with the Commission
an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an
amendment which will effect such compliance. You represent and warrant to the
Company, as of the date of delivery of such amendment or supplement to the
Company, that such amendment or supplement will not include any untrue
statement of a material fact or, when read in conjunction with the Final
Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
The Company shall have no obligation to file such amendment or supplement if
the Company determines that (i) such amendment or supplement contains any
untrue statement of a material fact or, when read in conjunction with the Final
Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, omits to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
(it being understood, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to
review or pass upon the accuracy or adequacy of, or to correct, any such
amendment or supplement provided by the Underwriter to the Company pursuant to
this paragraph (d)) or (ii) such filing is not required under the Act; provided
that, in the event the Company makes such a determination, it shall immediately
notify you in writing of the reasons for such determination; and, provided,
further, that it shall file such amendment or supplement if you specifically
confirm in writing to the Company that (A) such amendment or supplement does
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or, when read in
conjunction with the Final Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, omit to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading and (B) you are advising the Company to file
such amendment or supplement.
(e) You will cooperate with, and provide any information necessary to
the Independent Accountants so that they may complete and deliver their
agreed-upon procedures letter described in Section 5(f) hereof in a timely
manner so that such letter may be delivered to the Company by not later than
5:00 p.m. New York time, on the Business Day before the date on which the
Current Report described in Section 3(b) is required to be filed with the
Commission.

SECTION 9. Representations, Warranties, and Agreements to Survive
Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this
Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Company or Capstead
submitted pursuant hereto or as contemplated hereby, shall remain operative and
in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf
of the Company or Capstead or a controlling person thereof, and shall survive
delivery of any Bonds to the Underwriters.
SECTION 10. Termination of Agreement. (a) This Agreement may be
terminated for any reason at any time by either the Company or you upon the
giving of thirty days' written notice of such termination to the other party
hereto; provided, however, that if a Terms Agreement has been entered into but
the applicable Closing Time has not occurred, this Agreement shall not be
terminated pursuant to this Section 10(a) prior to such Closing Time.
(b) You may terminate this Agreement or such Terms Agreement, by
notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time, (i) if
there has been, since the respective dates as of which information is given in
the Registration Statement or the applicable Final Prospectus, any material
adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, earnings, business
affairs, regulatory situation or business prospects of the Company, Capstead or
the Partnership, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business,
(ii) if there shall have occurred any material adverse change in the financial
markets of the United States or any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or
other national or international calamity or crisis the effect of which is such
as to make it, in your judgment, impracticable to market the Bonds or enforce
contracts for the sale of the Bonds, or (iii) if trading in any securities of
the Company has been suspended by the Commission or a national securities
exchange, or if trading generally on either the American Stock Exchange or the
New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended, or minimum or maximum prices
for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have
been required, by either of said exchanges or by order of the Commission or any
other governmental authority, or if a banking moratorium shall have been
declared by either Federal or New York authorities, or (iv) if the rating
assigned by any nationally recognized securities rating agency requested to
rate any specific debt securities of the Company as of the date of any
applicable Terms Agreement shall have been lowered since that date or if any
such rating agency shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance
or review, with possible negative implications, its requested rating of such
debt securities of the Company, or (v) if there shall have come to your
attention any facts that would cause you to believe that the applicable Final
Prospectus, at the time it was required to be delivered to a purchaser of the
Bonds offered thereby, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances existing at the time of such delivery,
not misleading.
(c) In the event of any such termination, (i) the covenants set
forth in Section 3 with respect to any offering of Bonds shall remain in effect
so long as any Underwriter owns any such Bonds purchased from the Company
pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement and (ii) the
-28-
<PAGE> 29
covenant set forth in Section 3(i), the provisions of Section 4, the indemnity
agreement set forth in Section 6, the contribution provisions set forth in
Section 7, and the provisions of Sections 8, 9 and 14 shall remain in effect.
SECTION 11. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or
more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Time to purchase the Bonds
which it or they are obligated to purchase hereunder and under the applicable
Terms Agreement (the "Defaulted Bonds"), you shall have the right, within 24
hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting
Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than
all, of the Defaulted Bonds in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the
terms herein set forth and under the applicable Terms Agreement. If, however,
you have not completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:
(a) if the aggregate original principal amount of
Defaulted Bonds does not exceed 10% of the aggregate original
principal amount of the Bonds to be purchased pursuant to such Terms
Agreement, the non-defaulting Underwriters named in such Terms
Agreement shall be obligated to purchase the full amount thereof in
the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations
thereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting
Underwriters; and
(b) if the aggregate original principal amount of
Defaulted Bonds exceeds 10% of the aggregate original principal amount
of the Bonds to be purchased pursuant to such Terms Agreement, the
applicable Terms Agreement shall terminate without any liability on
the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.
No action taken pursuant to this Section 11 and nothing in this
Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of
its default.
In the event of any such default which does not result in a
termination of this Agreement or such applicable Terms Agreement, either you or
the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time for a period of
time not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the
Registration Statement or in any other documents or arrangements.
SECTION 12. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or
transmitted by any standard form of written telecommunication. Notices to the
Company shall be directed to its agent for service set forth on the cover page

and be binding upon you, the Company and Capstead, and any Terms Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and Capstead and
any Underwriter who becomes a party to such Terms Agreement, and their
respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement or any
Terms Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or
corporation, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and
the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Sections 6
and 7 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any Terms Agreement or

Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the
sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their
respective successors, and said controlling persons and officers and directors
and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other

be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

To the extent they are not patently incorrect on their face, such
information or accountings may be conclusively relied upon in making
such calculations.
(d) Except as specified in a particular Series
Supplement, each Distribution receivable with respect to a
Certificate, unless actually received earlier, shall be assumed to be
received at the time specified in the related Series Supplement and
shall be assumed to be immediately deposited in the related Collection
Account and reinvested on the next succeeding Business Day at the
applicable Assumed Reinvestment Rate. Unless the related Series
Supplement provides otherwise, all principal of and interest on
investments held in a Pledged Account shall be assumed to be received
on the date due and immediately deposited in such Pledged Account and
reinvested on the next succeeding Business Day at the applicable
Assumed Reinvestment Rate. Unless the related Series Supplement
provides otherwise, all funds assumed to be reinvested at the
applicable Assumed Reinvestment Rate
-26-

shall be assumed to remain so invested until the Business Day next
preceding the Principal Reduction Date or Interest Payment Date on
which they are required to be available in the related Collection
Account for application, in accordance with the terms hereof and of
the related Series Supplement, to payments of principal of or interest
on the Bonds of the related Series. All funds eligible to be invested
pursuant to a Qualified GIC shall (subject, however, to any
limitations contained in such Qualified GIC) be assumed to be invested
thereunder on the next Business Day after the assumed date of receipt
and to remain invested thereunder until the Business Day preceding the
Principal Reduction Date on which such funds are, or might be,
required to be available for application pursuant to this Indenture or
the applicable Series Supplement.

ARTICLE II
THE BONDS
Section 2.1 Forms Generally.
The Bonds of each Series and the Trustee's certificate of
authentication thereon shall be in substantially the form or forms set forth in
the Series Supplement pursuant to which such Bonds are constituted and as may
in the Issuer's judgment be necessary, appropriate or convenient to permit the
Bonds to be issued and sold to or held in bearer form by non-United States
Persons, to establish entitlement to an exemption from United States
withholding tax or reporting requirements with respect to payments on the
Bonds, or to comply, or facilitate compliance, with other applicable laws.
Each Series of Bonds may have such letters, numbers or other marks of
identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be
required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange on which the Bonds
may be listed, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers
executing such Bonds, as evidenced by their execution thereof. While Bonds may
contain the above-referenced provisions with respect to Bonds issued in bearer
form, no Bonds may actually be issued in bearer form until the Issuer and the
Trustee shall have entered into an appropriate supplemental indenture pursuant
to Section 9.1(8) providing for such issuance. Any portion of the text of any
Bond may be set forth on the reverse thereof with an appropriate reference on
the face of the Bond.
The definitive Bonds shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or
produced by any combination of these methods on steel engraved borders or may
be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any securities
exchange on which the Bonds may be listed, all as determined by the officers
executing such Bonds, as evidenced by their execution thereof.
Each Class of Book Entry Bonds shall be evidenced by one or more
certificates physically held by the Clearing Agency, which certificates may be
typewritten, printed, lithographed, mimeographed or otherwise produced.
Section 2.2 Form of Trustee's Certificate of Authentication
the form of the Trustee's certificate of authentication is as follows:.
This is one of the Bonds referred to in the within-mentioned
Indenture.

Section 2.3 Bonds Issuable in Series and Classes; General
Provisions with Respect to Principal and Interest Payments.
The aggregate principal amount of Bonds that may be issued pursuant to
this Indenture is unlimited.
The Bonds may, as provided herein, at the election of and as
authorized by the Board of Directors, be issued in one or more Series, each of
which Series may consist of only one Class of Bonds or may be divided into two
or more Classes, and shall be designated generally as the "Collateralized
Mortgage Obligations" of the Issuer, with such further particular designations
added or incorporated in such title for the Bonds of any particular Series or
Class as the Board of Directors may determine. Each Series shall include at
least one Class of Bonds which are not Compound Interest Bonds and may, but
need not, include one or more Classes of Compound Interest Bonds.
If a Series of Bonds includes more than one Class, the Classes of
Bonds of such Series shall have such Stated Maturities as shall be specified in
the related Series Supplement. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1,
Section 5.19 and Section 8.2(d), the principal of each Bond shall be payable in
installments ending no later than the Stated Maturity of the final installment
of the principal thereof unless the unpaid principal of such Bond becomes due
and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, redemption or
otherwise.
All payments of principal on the Bonds of a Series shall be applied on
each Payment Date prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default among the
Classes of such Bonds in accordance with the order of priority of payment set
out, and otherwise upon the terms specified in, the related Series Supplement.
Except to the extent specified in the related Series Supplement for a Series of
Bonds, payments of principal on each Class of Bonds, other than a Class of
Bonds subject to redemption at the request of a Holder, shall be made pro rata
among all Outstanding Bonds of such Class, without preference or priority of
any kind.
The aggregate amount of principal of and interest on the Bonds of a
Series due and payable on each Payment Date for such Series shall be equal to
the Debt Service Requirement for such Series for such Payment Date. All
payments made with respect to any Bond shall be applied first to the interest
then due and payable on such Bond and then to the principal thereof. All
computations of interest accrued on any Bond shall be made as if each year
consisted of twelve months of thirty days each.
Interest shall accrue on the Imputed Principal Balance of each
Outstanding Bond of a Series at the Bond Interest Rate relative thereto over
the related Interest Accrual Period and (other than interest accrued on any
Compound Interest Bonds of such Series, which shall be payable as described
below) shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date for such Series in an
amount equal to the lesser of (a) Available Funds on such Interest Payment
Date, after payment of all amounts payable in priority to such interest
payment, as determined pursuant to the related Series Supplement, and (b)
Accrued Bond Interest for such Interest Payment Date.
-29-
<PAGE> 40
Interest at the applicable Bond Interest Rate shall accrue on the
Imputed Principal Balance of each Outstanding Compound Interest Bond of a
Series from the Accrual Date for such Series, but none of such accrued interest
shall be payable until the Initial Interest Payment Date for such Compound
Interest Bond (or the first Interest Payment Date thereafter if the Debt
Service Requirement for such Initial Interest Payment Date is exactly equal to
the aggregate amount of principal of and interest on all other Classes of Bonds
of such Series which is payable on such Initial Interest Payment Date). On
each Interest Payment Date prior to the Initial Interest Payment Date for a
Compound Interest Bond, Accrued Bond Interest on such Bond during the related
Interest Accrual Period shall be added to the Current Principal Amount of such
Bond and shall thereafter accrue interest. Except as otherwise specified in
the related Series Supplement, on the Initial Interest Payment Date for the
Compound Interest Bonds of a Series, Accrued Bond Interest on such Bonds for
the related Interest Accrual Period shall be payable in an amount not in excess
of the difference between (a) the Debt Service Requirement on the related
Series for such Initial Interest Payment Date and (b) the aggregate amount of
principal of and interest on all other Bonds of the related Series required to
be paid on such date. The portion, if any, of such interest which is not paid
on such Initial Interest Payment Date shall be added to the principal of such
Compound Interest Bonds on such Initial Interest Payment Date and shall
thereafter accrue interest in the manner set forth above. On each Interest
Payment Date after the Initial Interest Payment Date for a Class of Compound
Interest Bonds Accrued Bond Interest on the Class Imputed Principal Balance of
such Class shall be payable to the extent of Available Funds as specified in
the related Series Supplement.
In the case of a Class or Classes of Bonds which are Variable Rate
Bonds, the related Series Supplement shall specify the method of calculating
the Bond Interest Rate at any time to be borne by such Variable Rate Bonds. On
each Interest Determination Date relative to a Class of Variable Rate Bonds the
interest rate of which is calculated by reference to an Index, until such
Variable Rate Bonds are paid in full, the Trustee shall determine the rate of
interest pursuant to the relevant Index for the purposes of such Interest
Determination Date in accordance with the mechanism specified in the related
Series Supplement, and the resulting Bond Interest Rate to be applicable to
such Variable Rate Bonds for the next Variable Rate Interest Accrual Period.
Promptly after its determination thereof, the Trustee shall advise the
Issuer of the rate of interest applicable to each Class of Variable Rate Bonds
of a Series for the next succeeding Variable Rate Interest Accrual Period.
In determining LIBOR or the Reserve Interest Rate and the resulting
Bond Interest Rate for each relevant Variable Rate Interest Accrual Period for
any relevant Class of Variable Rate Bonds, the Trustee may conclusively rely
and shall be protected in relying upon the offered rates quoted (whether quoted
in writing, electronically or orally) by the Reference Banks or other banks as
to LIBOR or the Reserve Interest Rates, as appropriate, in effect from time to
time. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility to any Person for
(i) its selection of other banks for purposes of determining the Reserve
Interest Rate or (ii) its inability, following a good faith reasonable effort,
to determine LIBOR or a Reserve Interest Rate, all as provided for in the
definition of "LIBOR" in the related Series Supplement.
-30-
<PAGE> 41
The establishment of a rate of interest by reference to an Index and
the Reserve Interest Rate and the resulting Bond Interest Rate for each
relevant Variable Rate Interest Accrual Period relative to a Series of Bonds
shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive and binding upon
the Holder or the Issuer and any of their respective partners, beneficiaries,
agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or assigns.
Unless otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement,
calculation of the amount of interest accrued on the Bonds of any Class of any
Series during an Interest Accrual Period shall be made on the assumption that
any payment of principal on the Bonds of such Class made on a Principal
Reduction Date occurring during such Interest Accrual Period (other than on the
first day thereof) was instead paid on the first day of such Interest Accrual
Period.
Any Unpaid Interest on a Class of Bonds shall be paid subject to and
as provided in the related Series Supplement. Unless otherwise specified in
the related Series Supplement, no interest shall accrue on any Unpaid Interest.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions with respect to
payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds, if the Bonds of a Series
have become or been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and
such acceleration of maturity and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled, payments of principal of and interest on such Bonds shall be made in
accordance with Section 5.8.
Each Bond shall bear upon the face thereof the designation so selected
for the Series and Class to which it belongs.
Each Series of Bonds shall be created by a Series Supplement
authorized by the Board of Directors and establishing the terms and provisions
of such Series, specifying the Certificates and any other property to be
included in the Trust Estate therefor and Granting such Trust Estate as
security for the Series of Bonds created thereby. The several Series may
differ in respect of any of the following matters:
(1) designation of the Series;
(2) dating of the Bonds of the Series and Accrual Date;
(3) the number of Classes, including the number of Classes of
Compound Interest Bonds, if any, the number of Classes of SAB

(14) any items required to be delivered to the Trustee on the

Section 2.4 Denominations.
The Bonds of each Series shall be issuable only as registered Bonds in
the denominations prescribed by the terms of the Series Supplement creating the
particular Series.
Section 2.5 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.
The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by its Chairman,
President or one of its Vice Presidents under its corporate seal which may be
in facsimile form and be imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon and attested
by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of
these officers on the Bonds may be manual or facsimile.
Bonds bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who
were at any time the proper officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Bonds or did not hold
such offices at the date of such Bonds.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of
this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Bonds executed by the Issuer to the
Trustee for authentication; and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such
Bonds as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise.
Each Bond shall be dated as of the date specified in the related Series
Supplement.
No Bond shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Bond a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee or by any Authenticating Agent for the Series of which
it is a part by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers or
employees, and such certificate upon any Bond shall be conclusive evidence, and
the only evidence, that such Bond has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder.
Section 2.6 Temporary Bonds.
Pending the preparation of Definitive Bonds, the Issuer may execute,
and upon Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary
Bonds which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
-36-
<PAGE> 47
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Bonds in lieu of which they may be
so issued and with such variations as the officers executing such Bonds may
determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Bonds.
If temporary Bonds are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Bonds
to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive
Bonds, the temporary Bonds shall be exchangeable for Definitive Bonds upon
surrender of the temporary Bonds at the office or agency of the Issuer to be
maintained as provided in Section 3.2, without charge to the Holder. Upon
surrender or cancellation of any one or more temporary Bonds, the Issuer shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver and exchange therefor a
like principal amount of Definitive Bonds of the same Series and Class and of
authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds shall in all
respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive
Bonds of the same Class and Series.
Section 2.7 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.
The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the "Bond Register") in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer
shall provide for the registration of Bonds and the registration of transfers
of Bonds. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed "Bond Registrar" for the
purpose of registering Bonds and transfers of Bonds as herein provided. Upon
any resignation of any Bond Registrar appointed by the Issuer, the Issuer shall
promptly appoint a successor or, in the absence of such appointment, shall
assume the duties of Bond Registrar. In the event that the Trustee is acting
as Bond Registrar and the Trustee resigns as Trustee with respect to one or
more Series of Bonds, the Trustee may resign as Bond Registrar with respect to
the Bonds of such Series or Classes, as applicable.
Each Authenticating Agent for a Series, unless it is appointed Bond
Registrar for such Series, and the Trustee, for any Series for which it is not
the Bond Registrar, shall be a co-Bond Registrar for such Series. The Issuer
shall cause each co-Bond Registrar for a Series to furnish the Bond Registrar
for such Series promptly after each authentication of a Bond by it appropriate
information with respect thereto for entry by the Bond Registrar into the Bond
Register. If the Trustee shall at any time not be authorized to keep and
maintain the Bond Register, the Trustee shall have the right to inspect such
Bond Register at all reasonable times and to rely conclusively upon a
certificate of the Person in charge of the Bond Register as to the names and
addresses of the Holders of the Bonds and the principal amounts and numbers of
such Bonds as held. In the event that the Trustee is acting as Authenticating
Agent and the Trustee resigns as Trustee with respect to one or more Series of
Bonds, the Trustee may resign as Authenticating Agent with respect to the Bonds
of such Series or Classes, as applicable.
Subject to restrictions, if any, in the related Series Supplement,
upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Bond at the office or agency
of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, the Issuer shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of any authorized
denominations, of the same Series and of a like aggregate principal amount and
Class.
-37-
<PAGE> 48
At the option of the Holder, Bonds may be exchanged for other Bonds of
any authorized denominations, of the same Series and of a like aggregate
initial principal amount and Class, upon surrender of the Bonds to be exchanged
at such office or agency. Bonds (other than Book Entry Bonds) of a Class which
are subject to redemption at the request of Bondholders and which are redeemed
in part, but not in whole, pursuant to Section 10.4 shall be surrendered at
such office or agency in exchange for new Bond certificates, without service
charge, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of such Bond so surrendered. Whenever any Bonds are so
surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Bonds which the Bondholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.
Subject to restrictions, if any, in the related Series Supplement, all
Bonds issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds shall be
the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to
the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Bonds surrendered upon such
registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Bond presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed, by the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Bonds, but the Issuer or the Bond Registrar may require payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge as may be
imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds,
other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.8 not involving any transfer.
Except as otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement,
neither the Issuer nor the Bond Registrar shall be required to issue, register
the transfer of or exchange any Bonds which are subject to redemption at the
request of Bondholders of any Series during a period beginning at the opening
of business five (5) Business Days prior to the selection of Bonds of that
Series to be redeemed pursuant to Bondholder redemption under Section 10.4 and
ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of any relevant
notice of redemption. No Bond which has been tendered for Bondholder
redemption may be transferred or exchanged unless such request for redemption
is withdrawn.
In the case of a Class of Book Entry Bonds, the provisions of this
Section 2.7 may be supplemented by provisions in the related Series Supplement
and by applicable rules established by the Clearing Agency for such Class
providing for transfer of registration of Book Entry Bonds on the books of the
Clearing Agency.
Section 2.8 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Bonds.
If (1) any mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Trustee or the Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Bond, and (2) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as
may be required by it to save each of the Issuer and the Trustee harmless,
then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that such Bond has
been acquired
-38-
<PAGE> 49
by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and upon its request the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond, a new Bond or Bonds of the same
Series, tenor, aggregate initial principal amount and Class bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding; provided, however, that if any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall have become or shall be about
to become due and payable, or shall have become subject to redemption in full,
instead of issuing a new Bond, the Issuer may pay such Bond without surrender
thereof, except that any mutilated Bond shall be surrendered. If, after the
delivery of such new Bond or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Bond
pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the
original Bond in lieu of which such new Bond was issued presents for payment
such original Bond, the Issuer and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover
such new Bond (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any
Person taking such new Bond from such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and
shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor
to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expenses incurred by the Issuer or
the Trustee in connection therewith.
Upon the issuance of any new Bond under this Section, the Issuer or
the Bond Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any
other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee or
Bond Registrar) connected therewith.
Every new Bond issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or
stolen Bond shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled
to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and
all other Bonds of the same Series duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds.
Section 2.9 Payments of Principal and Interest.
(a) Any installment of interest or principal on a Bond,
or the Redemption Price of any Bond called for redemption, payable on
any Bonds of any Series which is punctually paid or duly provided for
by the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the
Person in whose name such Bond (or one or more Predecessor Bonds) is
registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such
Payment Date by (i) check mailed to such Person's address as it
appears in the Bond Register on such Record Date, or (ii) upon written
request made at least five business days prior to the applicable
Record Date by any Holder of a Bond or Bonds of a particular Class
having an aggregate Original Principal Amount that is in excess of the
lesser of (x) $5,000,000 and (y) two-thirds of the aggregate Original
Principal Amount of all Bonds of such Class, by wire transfer to a
U.S. depository institution satisfactory to the Trustee, or by such
other means of payment as such Holder and the Trustee may agree. Any
installment of interest or principal not punctually paid or duly
-39-
<PAGE> 50
provided for shall be payable in the manner and to the Persons
specified in subsection (c) of this Section 2.9.
(b) All reductions in the principal amount of a Bond (or
one or more Predecessor Bonds) effected by payments of installments of
principal made on any Payment Date or by the allocation of any
Realized Losses or a Junior Bond Write Down Amount to such Bond shall
be binding upon all Holders of such Bond and of any Bond issued upon
the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in
lieu thereof, whether or not such payment or allocation of losses is
noted on such Bond. The final installment of principal of each Bond
(including the Redemption Price of any Bond called for redemption, if
such redemption will result in payment of the entire unpaid principal
amount of such Bond) shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender thereof on or after the Payment Date therefor at the office
or agency of the Issuer maintained by it for such purpose in the
Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, State of New York,
pursuant to Section 3.2.
Whenever, on the basis of Distributions on the Certificates
securing a Series received and expected to be received on the related
Distribution Date, the Issuer expects that the entire remaining unpaid
principal amount of any Bonds of such Series will become due and
payable on the next Principal Payment Date, unless specified otherwise
in the related Series Supplement it shall mail or cause to be mailed,
no later than five days prior to such Principal Payment Date, to each
Person in whose name a Bond to be so retired is registered at the
close of business on the tenth Business Day prior to such Principal
Payment Date, notwithstanding the Record Date otherwise applicable

Interest, the amount of interest not paid on such Interest Payment

Bond.
If funds sufficient to pay the entire amount remaining due on

Overdue Bond to the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for that
purpose.

Residual Bond 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 Bond to it is in accordance
with the requirements of the Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder and that such transfer of a Residual Bond 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 "Non-permitted Foreign Holder"), and any such purported transfer
shall be void and have no effect. The Trustee shall not authenticate
and deliver a Residual Bond in connection with any transfer thereof
unless the transferor shall have provided to the Trustee an affidavit,
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B to the related Series
Supplement, signed by the transferee.
The affidavit described in the preceding paragraph, if not
executed in connection with the initial issuance of the Residual Bonds
of any relevant Series, shall be accompanied by a written statement in
the form attached as Exhibit E to the related Series Supplement,
signed by the transferor of any such Residual Bond. The Residual
Bonds (if any) of each Series shall bear a legend referring to the
foregoing restrictions contained in this paragraph and the preceding
paragraph.
Upon written notice to the Trustee that any legal or
beneficial interest in any portion of a Residual Bond of any Series
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 such Residual Bond 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 Bond as completely as if such transfer had never
occurred, provided that the Trustee may, but is not required to,
recover any payments made to such transferee with respect to such
Residual Bond and return such recovery to the transferor, and (ii) the
Trustee agrees, at the Issuer's expense, to furnish to the Internal
Revenue Service and to any transferor of such Residual Bond 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 such Residual Bond (or portion thereof) for
periods after such transfer. At the election of the Trustee, the cost
to the Trustee of computing and furnishing
-53-
<PAGE> 64
such information may be charged to the transferor or such agent
referred to above; however, the Trustee shall in no event be excused
from furnishing such information.
The restrictions on transfers of the Residual Bonds of any
Series set forth in the preceding three paragraphs shall cease to
apply to transfers (and the applicable portions of the legend to such
Residual Bonds 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 a REMIC Loss.
(b) No transfer of a Restricted Bond of any Series shall
be made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),
and any applicable state securities laws, or is made in accordance
with the Act and any applicable state securities laws. As a condition
precedent to the transfer of a Restricted Bond, (i) the Trustee shall
require a written opinion of counsel, which counsel shall be
acceptable to the Trustee, that such transfer may be made pursuant to
an exemption from the Act and any applicable state securities laws
(which opinion shall not be at the expense of the Trustee) or (ii) the
Trustee shall require the transferee to execute an investment letter
in the form substantially as set forth in Exhibit F to the related
Series Supplement or in such other form as may be acceptable to the
Trustee, certifying as to the facts surrounding such transfer. The
holder of any Restricted Bond desiring to effect the transfer thereof
shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify the Trustee and the Issuer
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 Issuer shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
(c) No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Bond (if any) of a
Series shall be made to any Person unless the Trustee has
received (A) either (i) a certificate substantially in the
form of Exhibit D to the related Series Supplement, from such
transferee to the effect that such transferee is not a Plan or
a Person that is using the assets of a Plan to acquire such
ERISA Restricted Bond or (ii) a certificate in such form and
substance as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Issuer in lieu of the Certificate attached as Exhibit D or (B)
an opinion of counsel, which counsel shall be satisfactory to
the Trustee and the Issuer to the effect that the purchase and
holding of such ERISA Restricted Bond will not constitute or
result in the assets of the Trust Estate 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, the Certificate Trustee, the
Administrator relative to such Series or the Issuer to any
obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Indenture
or in the related Pooling and Administration Agreement;
provided, however, that the Trustee will not require such
certificate or opinion if, 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 Bond by a Plan or a Person that is purchasing
or holding such ERISA Restricted Bond with the assets of a
Plan will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction
under ERISA or Section 4975
-54-
<PAGE> 65
of the Code. The preparation and delivery of the certificate
and opinions referred to above shall not be an expense of the
Trust Estate, the Trust, the Certificate Trustee, the
Administrator relative to such Series or the Issuer.
(i) No transfer of an ERISA Prohibited Bond shall
be made to any Person unless the Trustee has received a
certificate (substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the
related Series Supplement in the case of a Residual Bond, or
containing a certification substantially as set forth in
paragraph 17 of Exhibit B to the related Series Supplement, in
the case of an ERISA Prohibited Bond that is not a Residual
Bond) 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 Bond. The
preparation and delivery of such certificate shall not be an
expense of the Trust Estate, the Trustee, the Issuer.
(d) Subject to Section 6.1 hereof, the Trustee may
conclusively rely upon any certificate, affidavit or opinion delivered
pursuant to Section 2.15(a), (b), or (c).

COVENANTS
Section 3.1 Payment of Bonds.
The Issuer will pay or cause to be duly and punctually paid the
principal of, and interest on, the Bonds of each Series in accordance with the
terms of such Bonds and this Indenture. The Bonds of each Series shall be non-
recourse obligations of the Issuer and shall be limited in right of payment to
amounts available from the Trust Estate relative to such Series as provided in
this Indenture and the Issuer shall not otherwise be liable for payments on the
Bonds. No person shall be personally liable for any amounts payable under the
Bonds. If any other provision of this Indenture conflicts or is deemed to
conflict with the provisions of this Section 3.1, the provisions of this
Section 3.1 shall control.
Section 3.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New
York, the State of New York an office or agency where Bonds may be presented or
surrendered for payment or may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the
Bonds and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer will give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of the location and any change in the location of such
office or agency. Until written notice of any change in the location of such
office or agency is delivered to the Trustee or if at any time the Issuer shall
fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish
the Trustee with the address thereof, Bonds may be so presented or surrendered,
and such notices and demands may be made or served, at the New York Office, and
the Issuer hereby appoints the New York Agent as its agent in the City of New
York, for the foregoing purposes.
The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other
offices or agencies (in or outside the City of New York) where the Bonds may be
presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time
rescind such designations; provided, however, that (i) no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain
an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, the
State of New York for the purposes set forth in the preceding paragraph, (ii)
presentations or surrenders of Bonds for payment may be made only in the City
of New York, the State of New York and (iii) any designation of an office or
agency for payment of Bonds shall be subject to Section 3.3. The Issuer will
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission
and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Section 3.3 Money for Bond Payments to Be Held in Trust.
All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Bonds
which are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the related Collection Account
pursuant to Section 8.2(c) or Section 5.8 shall be made on behalf of the Issuer
by the Trustee or by a Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from a
Collection Account for payments of Bonds shall be paid over to the Issuer under
any circumstances except as provided in this Section 3.3 or in Section 5.8.
When the Issuer shall have a Paying Agent for a Series that is not
also the Bond Registrar for such Series, it shall furnish, or cause the Bond
Registrar for such Series to furnish, no later than
(a) the fifth calendar day after each Record Date for such Series,
and
(b) the fifth calendar day after each Special Record Date
applicable to a Special Payment Date for such Series,
a list, in such form as such Paying Agent may reasonably require, of the names
and addresses of the Holders of Bonds of such Series and of the number of
Individual Bonds of each Class of such Series held by each such Holder.
Whenever the Issuer shall have a Paying Agent other than the Trustee,
it will, on or before the Business Day next preceding each Payment Date and
Special Payment Date for each Series of Bonds, direct the Trustee to deposit
with such Paying Agent an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then
becoming due (to the extent funds are then available for such purpose in the
Collection Account for such Series), such sum to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. Any moneys deposited with a Paying
Agent in excess of an amount sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due on
the Bonds with respect to which such deposit was made shall, upon Issuer Order,
be paid over by such Paying Agent to the Trustee for application in accordance
with Article VIII.
Any Paying Agent shall be appointed by Issuer Order. The Issuer shall
not appoint any Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) which is not, at the time
of such appointment, a depository institution or trust company whose
obligations would be Eligible Investments pursuant to clause (ii) of the
definition of the term "Eligible Investment". In the event that the Trustee is
acting as Paying Agent and the Trustee resigns as Trustee with respect to one
or more Series of Bonds (or to the extent permitted in any Series Supplement,
with respect to one or more Classes within a Series), the Trustee may resign as
Paying Agent with respect to the Bonds of such Series or Classes, as
applicable. The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to
execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent
shall agree with the Trustee (and if the Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it
hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying
Agent will:
(1) allocate all sums received for payment to the Holders
of Bonds of each Series for which it is acting as Paying Agent on each
Payment Date and Special Payment Date
-57-
<PAGE> 68
among such Holders in the proportion specified in the applicable
Payment Date Statement and Special Payment Date Statement, as the case
may be, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law;
(2) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts
due with respect to the Bonds in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such
Persons as herein provided;
(3) if such Paying Agent is not the Trustee, immediately
resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums
held by it in trust for the payment of Bonds if at any time it ceases
to meet the standards set forth above required to be met by a Paying
Agent at the time of its appointment;
(4) if such Paying Agent is not the Trustee, give the
Trustee notice of any Default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon
the Bonds) in the making of any payment required to be made with
respect to any Series of Bonds for which it is acting as Paying Agent;
(5) if such Paying Agent is not the Trustee, at any time
during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request
of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust
by such Paying Agent; and
(6) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect
to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Bonds of any
applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any
applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith; provided,
however, that with respect to withholding and reporting requirements
applicable to original issue discount (if any) on any Class of Bonds,
the Issuer shall have first provided the calculations pertaining
thereto to the Trustee.
The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by
Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee, to pay to the
Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by
the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by
such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee,
such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to
such money.
Except as provided by applicable law, any money held by the Trustee or
any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any
Bond and remaining unclaimed for two and one-half years after such amount has
become due and payable to the Holder of such Bond (or, if earlier, three months
prior to the date on which such amount would escheat to a governmental entity
under applicable law) shall be discharged from such trust and paid to the
Issuer; and the Holder of such Bond shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent
of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the Trustee or such
Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided,
-58-
<PAGE> 69
however, that if an election has been or will be made to treat the Trust Estate
securing the Series or any other assets specified in a REMIC election relative
to such Series, as a REMIC, any such unclaimed funds shall be paid to the state
pursuant to applicable escheat laws and in such event the Holder of such Bond
shall thereafter look only to such state for payment thereof and all liability
of the Issuer, the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money shall thereupon cease. The Trustee may adopt and employ, at the expense
of the Issuer, any reasonable means of notification of such repayment
(including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders
whose Bonds have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or
whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is
determinable from the records of the Trustee or any Agent, at the last address
of record for each such Holder).
Section 3.4 Corporate Existence.
(a) Subject to Section 3.4(b) and (c), the Issuer will
keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a
corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware or under the laws
of any other state or the United States of America, and will obtain
and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation
in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be
necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this
Indenture, the Bonds or any of the Certificates.
(b) Any corporation into which the Issuer hereunder may
be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger or consolidation to which such Issuer
hereunder shall be a party, shall be the successor Issuer under this
Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper, instrument or
further act to be done on the part of the parties hereto, anything
herein, or in any agreement relating to such merger or consolidation,
by which any such Issuer may seek to retain certain powers, rights and
privileges theretofore obtaining for any period of time following such
merger or consolidation, to the contrary notwithstanding.
(c) Upon any consolidation or merger of or other
succession to the Issuer in accordance with Section 3.4(b) hereof, the
Person formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger (if other
than the Issuer) may exercise every right and power of the Issuer
under this Indenture with the same effect as if such Person had been
named as the Issuer herein.
Section 3.5 Protection of Trust Estate.
The Issuer will from time to time execute and deliver all such
supplements and amendments hereto and all such financing statements,
continuation statements, instruments of further assurance, and other
instruments, and will take such other action as may be necessary or advisable
to
(i) Grant more effectively all or any portion of a Trust
Estate,
(ii) maintain or preserve the lien of this Indenture or
carry out more effectively the purposes hereof,
-59-
<PAGE> 70
(iii) perfect, publish notice of, or protect the validity
of, any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture,
(iv) enforce any of the Certificates, or
(v) preserve and defend title to any Certificate or other
instrument included in a Trust Estate and the rights of the Trustee,
and of the Bondholders of the Series secured thereby, in such
Certificate or other instrument against the claims of all persons and
parties.
The Issuer hereby designates the Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to
execute, upon the Issuer's failure to do so, any financing statement,
continuation statement or other instrument required pursuant to this Section
3.5; provided, however, that such designation shall not be deemed to create a
duty in the Trustee to monitor the compliance of the Issuer with the foregoing
covenants and provided, further, that the duty of the Trustee to execute any
instrument required pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall arise only if the
Trustee has knowledge of any failure of the Issuer to comply with the
provisions of this Section 3.5.
Section 3.6 Opinions as to Trust Estate.
On or before February 15 in each calendar year, the Issuer shall
furnish to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the
opinion of such counsel, such action has been taken with respect to the
recording, filing, re-recording and re-filing of this Indenture, any indentures
supplemental hereto and any other requisite documents and with respect to the
execution and filing of any financing statements and continuation statements as
is necessary to maintain the lien and security interest created by this
Indenture with respect to the Trust Estate for such Series and reciting the
details of such action or stating that in the opinion of such counsel no such
action is necessary to maintain such lien and security interest. Such Opinion
of Counsel shall also describe the recording, filing, re-recording and
re-filing of this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other
requisite documents and the execution and filing of any financing statements
and continuation statements that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be
required to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture with
respect to the Trust Estate for such Series until February 15 in the following
calendar year.
The Trustee shall not remove any portion of any Trust Estate that
consists of money or is evidenced by an instrument, certificate or other
writing from the jurisdiction in which it was held at the date the most recent
opinion of Counsel was delivered pursuant to this Section 3.6 (or from the
jurisdiction in which it was held as described in the Opinion of Counsel
delivered at the Closing Date pursuant to Section 2.12(c), if no Opinion of
Counsel has yet been delivered pursuant to this Section 3.6) or cause or permit
ownership or the pledge of any portion of the Trust Estate that consists of
book-entry securities to be recorded on the books of a Person located in a
different jurisdiction from the jurisdiction in which such ownership or pledge
was recorded at such date unless the Trustee shall have first received an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the lien and security interest
-60-
<PAGE> 71
created by this Indenture with respect to such property will continue to be
maintained after giving effect to such action or actions.
Section 3.7 Performance of Obligations.
The Issuer will not take any action or permit any action to be taken
by others which would release any Person from any of such Person's covenants or
obligations under any instrument included in a Trust Estate, or which would
result in the amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge
of, or impair the validity or effectiveness of, any such instrument, except as
expressly provided in this Indenture.
Section 3.8 Negative Covenants.
The Issuer will not:
(a) sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any
portion of a Trust Estate except as expressly permitted by this

(d) issue bonds under any other indenture unless such
bonds are non-recourse obligations of the Issuer;

indebtedness of any Person, except for such indebtedness as may be

Bonds pursuant to this Indenture or any Series Supplement or as
permitted under clause (d) above or indebtedness which, if consisting
of indebtedness other than Bonds or indebtedness permitted under
clause (d) above, (i) shall either be (1) subordinate to each Series
of Bonds issued pursuant to the Indenture or (2) secured by collateral
other than the Trust Estate and to which the creditor with respect to
such indebtedness has recourse only to such collateral and not to any
other assets of the Issuer and (ii) shall provide that the holder
thereof may not file a petition in any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding with respect to the Issuer until not less than 91 days
after payment in full of all Outstanding Bonds issued pursuant to this

any state thereof and its certificate of incorporation shall
contain substantially the same restrictions as are contained

Incorporation;
(2) the surviving or resulting corporation (if
other than the Issuer) shall expressly assume by an indenture
supplemental hereto all of the Issuer's obligations hereunder;

Series;
(h) (1) permit the validity or effectiveness of this

may be expressly permitted hereby or by any Series Supplement, (2)
permit any lien, charge, security interest, mortgage or other
encumbrance (other than the lien of this Indenture or any Permitted

burden the Trust Estate for any Series or any part thereof or any
interest therein or the proceeds thereof, so long as such proceeds
remain a part of the Trust Estate, or (3) permit the lien of this
Indenture not to constitute a valid first priority security interest
in the Trust Estate securing any Series; or
(i) take any action, or omit to take any action, if such
action or omission may (i) cause any Trust Estate or any other assets
securing a Series of Bonds and in respect of which a REMIC election
has been made to fail to qualify as a REMIC during any taxable year,
or (ii) cause or permit any REMIC relative to any Series to engage in
any "prohibited transaction" as defined in Section 860F of the Code.
-62-

officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer, that
(1) a review of the fulfillment by the Issuer during such
year of its obligations under this Indenture has been made under such
officer's supervision; and
(2) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on
such review, the Issuer has complied with all conditions and covenants
under this Indenture 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.
For purposes of this paragraph, such compliance shall be determined
without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice
provided under the Indenture.
Section 3.10 Contribution of Assets.
Except as otherwise provided in the related Series Supplement, if an
election has been made or will be made to treat the Trust Estate or any other
assets specified in such election securing the related Series as a REMIC,
following the Closing Date, the Trustee shall not accept any contribution of
additional assets to the Trust Estate or such other assets, unless it has
received a Non-Disqualification Opinion with respect thereto and an opinion of
counsel that the contribution will not result in the imposition of a penalty
tax under the Code on the related REMIC.
Section 3.11 Successor Substituted.
Upon any consolidation or merger in accordance with Section 3.8(g),
the person resulting from or surviving such consolidation or merger (if other
than the Issuer) shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise

ARTICLE IV
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
Section 4.1 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.
Whenever the following conditions shall have been satisfied with
respect to a Series:
(1) either
(A) all Bonds of such Series theretofore
authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Bonds which have
been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or
paid as provided in Section 2.8, and (ii) Bonds for whose
payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and
thereafter repaid to the Issuer, as provided in Section 3.3)

delivered to the Trustee for cancellation
(i) have become due and payable, or
(ii) will become due and payable at the
Stated Maturity of the final installment of the

(iii) are to be called for redemption
within one year under irrevocable arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice
of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the
expense, of the Issuer,
and, in the case of any Series in respect of the assets
securing which a REMIC election or elections have been made,
the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee a Non-Disqualification
Opinion relevant to the actions specified in clauses (i), (ii)
or (iii) above, and has deposited or caused to be deposited
with the Trustee, in trust for such purpose, an amount
sufficient to pay and discharge the Aggregate Imputed
Principal Balance at such time of the Bonds of such Series,
together with an amount equal to the aggregate amount of
interest that will have accrued on such Series of Bonds (under

(2) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other
sums payable hereunder by the Issuer with respect to such Series; and
-64-
<PAGE> 75
(3) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions
precedent herein provided for the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture with respect to such Series have been complied with;
then, upon Issuer Request, authorized by a Board Resolution, this Indenture and
the related Series Supplement and the lien, rights and interests created hereby
and thereby shall cease to be of further effect with respect to such Series,
and the Trustee and each co-trustee and separate trustee, if any, then acting
as such hereunder shall, at the expense of the Issuer, execute and deliver all
such instruments as may be necessary to acknowledge the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture and the related Series Supplement with respect to
such Series and shall pay, or assign or transfer and deliver, all cash,
securities and other property held by it as part of the Trust Estate or other
assets for such Series remaining after satisfaction of the conditions specified
in clauses (1) and (2) above, (x) with respect to each Series of Bonds for
which an election to treat the Trust Estate and any other assets specified in
such election and securing the Bonds as one or more REMICs has not been made
and will not be made, to the Issuer or upon Issuer Order or (y) with respect to
each Series of Bonds for which such an election has been made or will be made,
and upon receipt by the Trustee of a Non-Disqualification Opinion as required
by Section 4.3, as provided in the related Series Supplement.
In the absence of an Issuer Request authorized by a Board Resolution,
the payment of all Outstanding Bonds of all Series shall not render this
Indenture inoperative or prevent the Issuer from issuing additional Series of
Bonds from time to time thereafter as herein provided.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with
respect to a Series, the obligations of the Issuer to the Trustee under Section
6.7, the obligations of the Trustee to the Issuer and to the Holders of Bonds
of such Series under Section 3.3, the obligations of the Trustee to the Holders

Section 4.3 REMIC Matters.
(a) Each Series Supplement shall contain a statement
specifying whether or not it is intended that one or more REMIC
elections be made in respect of the Trust Estate and other assets
specified in such Series Supplement and securing the Bonds issued

Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066) and prepare
and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal

income tax or information returns for each taxable year with
respect to each 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

furnish or cause to be furnished to the related Bondholders
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 of
each such Series, 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 related
Bonds may contact for tax information relating thereto (and
the Issuer shall act as the representative of each relevant
Trust Estate 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 in the manner required
by the Code;
(iii) make or cause to be made an election on
behalf of such REMIC, to be treated as a REMIC on its federal
tax return 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 related Bondholders 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 specified in the
related Series Supplement;
-66-
<PAGE> 77
(v) provide information necessary for the
computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual
Interest of each such REMIC (including the information
required by Treasury Regulation 1.860D- 1(b)(5)(ii)) to the
Internal Revenue Service and 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 and to any other Person specified in Section
860E(e)(3) and (6) of the Code as liable for the tax imposed
under Section 860E(e) of the Code (the reasonable cost of
computing and furnishing such information may be charged to
the Person liable for such tax);
(vi) conduct the affairs of each such REMIC at all
time that any Bonds relative thereto 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 each such REMIC;
(viii) exercise reasonable care not to allow the
creation of any "interests" in each such REMIC within the
meaning of Section 860D(d)(2) of the Code other than as
provided in the related Series Supplement ;
(ix) exercise reasonable care not to allow the
occurrence of any "prohibited transactions" within the meaning
of Section 860F of the Code in respect of any such REMIC,
unless the Issuer shall have provided a Non-Disqualification
Opinion to the Trustee that such occurrence would not result
in a REMIC Loss in respect of such REMIC;
(x) exercise reasonable care not to allow such
REMIC 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 from amounts in the Trust Estate the
amount of any federal or state law, including prohibited
transaction taxes, taxes on certain contributions to such
REMIC after the Startup Day relative thereto, and taxes on net
income from foreclosure property, imposed on such REMIC and as
the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall
not prevent the Issuer or any other appropriate Person from
contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall
not prevent the Issuer from withholding payment of such tax,
if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings);
(xii) ensure that all federal, state or local
income tax or information returns shall be signed by the
Issuer or such other person as may be required to sign such
returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or
rules; and
-67-
<PAGE> 78
(xiii) maintain such records relating to each such
REMIC, including but not limited to the income, expenses,
individual mortgage loans (including mortgaged property)
relative to such REMIC, other assets and liabilities of the
Trust Estate relative to such REMIC, 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, statement or
information.
(b) Reserved
(c) The Issuer shall cause the first federal income tax
return of each REMIC relative to a Series of Bonds to include the
information required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.860D-1(d)(2) and
Treasury Regulation Section 1.860F-4(b)(2).
(d) Except as otherwise provided in the related Series
Supplement, where an election has been made or will be made to treat
the Trust Estate or any other assets specified in such election and
securing the Series as one or more REMICs, the termination of each
such REMIC shall be effected by the Issuer pursuant to a Qualified
Liquidation and only after delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of a
Non-Disqualification Opinion.
Section 4.4 Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in
accordance with Sections 4.1 and 4.2 by reason of any legal proceeding or by
reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer's
obligations under the Indenture and the Bonds shall be revived and reinstated
as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 4.1 until such time as
the Trustee or such Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or
obligations in accordance with Sections 4.1 and 4.2; provided, however, that if
the Issuer has made payment of interest on or principal of any of the Bonds
because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated
to the Holders of the Bonds to receive such payment from the money or
obligations held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent.

representing not less than 66 2/3% of such Class (if such declaration is made
pursuant to clause (B) above), by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee,
may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if
(1) the Issuer delivered or caused to be delivered to the
Trustee a Non-Disqualification Opinion regarding the actions described
in this subsection, if one or more REMIC elections has or have been
made in respect of the assets securing the Series, and the Issuer has
paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel; and

Section 5.3 Proceedings.
Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1 and the following sentence,
if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to a Series, the
Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the
rights of the Bondholders by such appropriate Proceedings as the Trustee shall
deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the
specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid
of the exercise of any power granted herein, or enforce any other proper
remedy. Any proceedings brought by the Trustee on behalf of the Bondholders or
any Bondholder against the Issuer shall be limited to the preservation,
enforcement and foreclosure of the liens, assignments, rights and security
interests under the Indenture and no attachment, execution or other unit or
process shall be sought, issued or levied upon any assets, properties or funds
of the Issuer, other than the Trust Estate relative to the Series of Bonds in
respect of which such Event of Default has occurred. If there is a foreclosure
of any such liens, assignments, rights and security interests under this
Indenture, by private power of sale or otherwise, no judgment for any
deficiency upon the indebtedness represented by the Bonds may be sought or
obtained by the Trustee or any Bondholder against the Issuer.
Section 5.4 Remedies.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing in

rescinded and annulled, the Trustee may do one or more of the following:
(a) institute Proceedings for the collection of all
amounts then payable on the Bonds of that Series, or under this
Indenture in respect to that Series of Bonds, whether by declaration
or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained and collect from the
Issuer (other than from the Trust Estate or other assets securing any
other Series of Bonds) moneys adjudged due;
(b) in accordance with Section 5.17, sell the Trust
Estate and other assets, if any, securing the Bonds of that Series or
any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more
public or private Sales called and conducted in any manner permitted
by law;
(c) institute Proceedings from time to time for the
complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the
Trust Estate securing the Bonds of that Series; and

action specified in the Series Supplement for any Series of Bonds.

bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, composition or other judicial
Proceeding relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon any of the Bonds or
the property of the Issuer or of such other obligor or their creditors, the
Trustee (irrespective of whether the Bonds of any Series shall then be due and
payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer for the payment of
any overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such Proceeding or otherwise, to
(i) file and prove a claim for the whole amount of
principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Bonds of
each Series issued hereunder and to file such other papers or

expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel) and of the Bondholders allowed in such Proceeding, and
(ii) collect and receive any moneys or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same,

Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Bondholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bondholder any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition affecting any of the
Bonds or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote
in respect of the claim of any Bondholder in any such Proceeding.
Section 5.7 Trustee May Enforce Claims without Possession of
Bonds.
All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the
Bonds may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of
any of the Bonds or the production thereof in any Proceeding relating thereto,
and any such Proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own
name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be, in
accordance with Section 5.8, for the payment of the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel
and, except to the extent specified
-73-

otherwise in the Series Supplement for any Series of Bonds, for the ratable
benefit of the Holders of the Bonds of the Series in respect of which such
judgment has been recovered.
Section 5.8 Application of Money Collected.

an Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been

Series of Bonds pursuant to this Article or otherwise and any monies that may
then be held or thereafter received by the Trustee with respect to such Series

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Bond by
his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in
its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may
in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits
and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee, except to the extent specified otherwise in the Series Supplement
relating to any Series of Bonds, to any suit instituted by any Bondholder, or
group of Bondholders, holding in the aggregate Bonds representing more than 10%
of the Aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Outstanding Bonds of a Series,
or to any suit instituted by any Bondholder for the enforcement of the payment
of any installment of interest on any Bond on or after the Stated Maturity
thereof expressed in such Bond or for the enforcement of the payment of the
entire remaining unpaid principal amount of any Bond on or after the Stated
Maturity of the final installment of the principal thereof (or, in the case of
any Bond called for redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date).
Section 5.16 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that
it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants
in, or the performance of, this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that
it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any
such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution
of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 5.17 Sale of Trust Estate.
(a) The power to effect any sale (a "Sale") of any
portion of a Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.4 shall not be
exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of such Trust
Estate remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until the
entire such Trust Estate shall have been sold or all amounts payable
on the Bonds of the Series secured thereby and under this Indenture
with respect thereto shall have been paid. The Trustee may from time
to time postpone any public Sale by public announcement made at the
time and place of such Sale. The Trustee hereby expressly waives its
right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale.
-78-
<PAGE> 89
(b) To the extent permitted by law, and except as
specified otherwise in the Series Supplement for any Series of Bonds,
the Trustee shall not in any private Sale sell or otherwise dispose of
the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof, securing a Series of Bonds
which has been declared due and payable unless
(1) if such Sale is effected consequent on a
declaration made by the Holders of Senior Bonds of a Series
pursuant to Section 5.2(A), the Holders of all Outstanding
Senior Bonds of such Series consent to, or direct the Trustee
to make, such Sale, or, if such Sale is effected consequent on
a declaration made by the Holders of the Highest Priority
Junior Class of such Series representing not less than 66 2/3%
of the Aggregate Current Principal of such Class pursuant to
Section 5.2(B), the Holders of the Highest Priority Junior
Class of such Series representing not less than 66 2/3% of the
Aggregate Current Principal of such Class consent to, or
direct the Trustee to make, such a Sale, or
(2) the proceeds of such Sale would be not less
than the entire amount which would be distributable to the
Holders of the Senior Bonds or the Junior Bonds, as the case
may be, of such Series, in full payment thereof in accordance
with Section 5.8.
The foregoing provisions shall not preclude or limit the ability of
the Trustee to purchase all or any portion of the Trust Estate at a
private Sale, provided that, unless otherwise specified in the related
Series Supplement, in no event (except as may be compelled or required
by applicable law or court order in which case the provisions of
Section 4.3 shall apply if appropriate) shall the Trustee purchase or
sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof (if an election or
elections has or have been made or will be made to treat the Trust
Estate or such other assets specified in such election securing the
Series as a REMIC) unless it either (i) has received a
Non-Disqualification Opinion, or (ii) the proceeds of such Sale net of
any tax on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the
Code that is payable from the Trust Estate would be not less than the
entire amount that would be distributable to the Holders of the Bonds,
in full payment thereof in accordance with Section 5.8, and such sale
meets the requirements of Section 4.3.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in the related Series
Supplement, unless the Holders of all Outstanding Bonds have otherwise
consented or directed the Trustee, at any public Sale of all or any
portion of a Trust Estate at which a minimum bid equal to or greater
than the amount described in paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of this
Section 5.17 and the amount of any tax on "prohibited transactions" as
defined in Section 860F of the Code that would be payable from the
Trust Estate if an election or elections has or have been made or
will be made to treat the Trust Estate or such other assets specified
in such election securing the Series as a REMIC, has not been
established by the Trustee and no Person bids an amount equal to or
greater than such amount, the Trustee shall bid an amount at least
$1.00 more than the highest other bid.
-79-
<PAGE> 90
(d) In connection with a Sale of all or any portion of a
Trust Estate
(1) any Holder or Holders of Bonds of the Series
secured thereby may bid for and purchase the property offered
for Sale, and upon compliance with the terms of such Sale may
hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property, without
further accountability, and may, in paying the purchase money
therefor, deliver any Outstanding Bonds of such Series or
claims for interest thereon in lieu of cash up to the amount
which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such
Sale, be payable thereon, and such Bonds, in case the amounts
so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon,
shall be returned to the Holders thereof after being
appropriately stamped to show such partial payment; for the
purposes of this clause (1), the principal amount of
indebtedness of the Issuer evidenced by any Outstanding Bond
delivered in lieu of cash shall be the Imputed Principal
Balance of such Bond.
(2) the Trustee may bid for and acquire the
property offered for Sale in connection with any public Sale
thereof, and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make
settlement for the purchase price by crediting the gross Sale
price against the sum of (A) the amount which would be
distributable to the Holders of the Bonds of the Series
secured thereby as a result of such Sale in accordance with
Section 5.8 and (B) the expenses of the Sale and of any
Proceedings in connection therewith which are reimbursable to
it, without being required to produce the Bonds of such Series
in order to complete any such Sale or in order for the net
Sale price to be credited against such Bonds, and any property
so acquired by the Trustee shall be held and dealt with by it
in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;
(3) the Trustee shall execute and deliver an
appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest
in any portion of such Trust Estate in connection with a Sale
thereof;
(4) the Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed
the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuer to transfer and
convey its interest in any portion of such Trust Estate in
connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action
necessary to effect such Sale; and
(5) no purchaser or transferee at such a Sale
shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee's authority, inquire
into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to
the application of any moneys.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the
contrary, if an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(A)(1) is the
Event of Default, or one of the Events of Default, on the basis of
which the Bonds of a Series have been declared due and payable, then
the Trustee may, in its sole discretion, sell the Trust Estate
securing such Series without
-80-

compliance with this Section 5.17, but except as otherwise provided in
the related Series Supplement, subject to and in compliance with
Section 4.3.
Section 5.18 Action on Bonds.
The Trustee's right to seek and recover judgment on a Series of Bonds
or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or
application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture.
Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Trustee or
the Holders of Bonds of any Series shall be impaired by the recovery of any
judgment by the Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution
under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate securing such Series.
Section 5.19 No Recourse to Other Trust Estates or Other Assets of
the Issuer.
Except to the extent provided otherwise in the related Series
Supplement, the Trust Estate Granted to the Trustee as security for a
particular Series will serve as security only for that Series. Except to the
extent provided otherwise in the related Series Supplement, Holders of Bonds of
one Series shall have no recourse against the Trust Estate Granted to the
Trustee as security for any other Series, and no judgment against the Issuer
for any amount due with respect to one Series of Bonds may be enforced against
either the Trust Estate securing any other Series or any other assets of the
Issuer, nor may any prejudgment lien or other attachment be sought against any
such other Trust Estate or any other assets of the Issuer.
Section 5.20 Application of the TIA.
(a) Pursuant to Section 3.16(a) of the TIA, all
provisions automatically provided for in Section 3.16(a) are hereby
expressly excluded.
(b) Section 3.16(b) of the TIA requires the following
provision to be included herein:
Notwithstanding any other provision of the indenture
to be qualified, the right of any holder of any indenture
security to receive payment of the principal of and interest
on such indenture security, on or after the respective due
dates expressed in such indenture security, or to institute
suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without
the consent of such holder, except as to a postponement of an
interest payment consented to as provided in paragraph (2) of
subsection (a), and except that such indenture may contain
provisions limiting or denying the right of any such holder to
institute any such suit, if and to the extent that the
institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment
therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender,
impairment, waiver, or loss of the lien of such indenture upon
any property subject to such lien.

ARTICLE VI
THE TRUSTEE
Section 6.1 Duties of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee shall be subject to TIA Section 315(c).
(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(1) The Trustee need perform only those duties
that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no
others and no implied covenants or obligations of the Trustee
shall be read into this Indenture.
(2) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the
Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.
The Trustee shall, however, examine such certificates and
opinions to determine whether they conform to the requirements
of this Indenture.
(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for
its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own
wilful misconduct, except that:
(1) This paragraph does not limit the effect of
subsection (b) of this Section.
(2) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error
of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer,
unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(3) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect
to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section
5.4 or Section 5.17.
(d) For all other purposes under this Indenture, the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default
described in Section 5.1(A)(2), 5.1(A)(5) or 5.1(A)(6) or any default
(other than a default in payment to the Trustee) under any Pooling and
Administration Agreement or any Guaranty Agreement unless a
Responsible Officer assigned to and working in the Trustee's corporate
trust department has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice
of any event which is in fact such an Event of Default or Default is
received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice
references the Bonds generally, the Bonds of any Series, the Issuer,
any Trust Estate or this Indenture.
-82-
<PAGE> 93
(e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder,
or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not refuse or
fail to perform any of its duties hereunder solely as a result of
nonpayment of its normal fees and expenses and further provided that
nothing in this Section 6.1(e) shall be construed to limit the
exercise by the Trustee of any right or remedy permitted under this
Indenture or otherwise in the event of the Issuer's failure to pay the
Trustee's fees and expenses pursuant to Section 6.7. In determining
that such repayment or indemnity is not reasonably assured to it, the
Trustee must consider not only the likelihood of repayment or
indemnity by or on behalf of the Issuer but also the likelihood of
repayment or indemnity from amounts payable to it from the applicable
Trust Estate pursuant to Sections 6.7 and 8.2(d).
(f) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way
relates to the Trustee is subject to the provisions of this Section.
(g) Notwithstanding any extinguishment of all right,
title and interest of the Issuer in and to the Trust Estate following
an Event of Default and a consequent declaration of acceleration of
the Maturity of the Bonds, whether such extinguishment occurs through
a Sale of the Trust Estate to another Person, the acquisition of the
Trust Estate by the Trustee or otherwise, the rights, powers and
duties of the Trustee with respect to the Trust Estate (or the
proceeds thereof) and the Holders of the Bonds and the rights of the
Bondholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to be
governed by the terms of this Indenture.
Section 6.2 Notice of Default.
Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Default known to the
Trustee, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Bonds of each
Series as to which such Default has occurred notice of each such Default,
unless such Default shall have been cured or waived, provided, however, that
except in the case of a Default of the type described in Section 5.1(A)(1), the
Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the
board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors
and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the
withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Bonds of
the Series affected by such Default.
Section 6.3 Rights of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee may rely on any document believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in
the document.
-83-
<PAGE> 94
(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it
may require an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take
in good faith in reliance on the Officers' Certificate or Opinion of
Counsel.
(c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be
responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed
with due care.
(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it
takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be
authorized or within its rights or powers.
Section 6.4 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Bonds.
The recitals contained herein and in the Bonds, except the
certificates of authentication on the Bonds, shall be taken as the statements
of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
The Trustee makes no representations with respect to any Trust Estate or as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Bonds. The Trustee
shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of Bonds or
the proceeds thereof or any money paid to the Issuer or upon Issuer Order
pursuant to the provisions hereof.
Section 6.5 May Hold Bonds.
The Trustee, any Agent, or any other agent of the Issuer, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Bonds and,
subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any
Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee, Agent, or such other agent.
Section 6.6 Money Held in Trust.
Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by this Indenture or by law, but
shall be accounted for separately for each Series. The Trustee shall be under
no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as
otherwise agreed with the Issuer and except to the extent of income or other
gain on investments which are obligations of the Trustee, in its commercial
capacity, and income or other gain actually received by the Trustee on
investments, which are obligations of others.
Section 6.7 Compensation and Reimbursement.
(a) The Issuer agrees
(1) subject to any separate written agreement with the
Trustee, to pay the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation
for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall
not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation
of a trustee of an express trust);
-84-
<PAGE> 95
(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to
reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in
accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance
as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and
(3) to indemnify the Trustee and its agents for, and to
hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred
without negligence or bad faith on their part, arising out of, or in
connection with, the acceptance or administration of this trust,
including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any
claim in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their
powers or duties hereunder, provided that:
(i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee
shall have given the Issuer written notice thereof promptly
after the Trustee shall have knowledge thereof;
(ii) while maintaining absolute control over its
own defense, the Trustee shall cooperate and consult fully
with the Issuer in preparing such defense; and
(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 6.7(a)(3), the Issuer shall not be liable for
settlement of any such claim by the Trustee entered into
without the prior consent of the Issuer.
Subject to Section 6.10, the Trustee agrees to fully perform its
duties under this Indenture notwithstanding any failure on the part of the
Issuer to make any payments, reimbursements or indemnifications to the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 6.7.
(b) The Issuer may remit payment for such fees and expenses to the
Trustee or, in the absence thereof, the Trustee may reimburse itself from time
to time pursuant to Section 8.2(d) hereof for payments of its fees and expenses
hereunder from moneys on deposit in the Collection Account.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1(e) and
6.7(a)(1), (2) and (3) hereof, the fees, expenses, disbursements and advances
payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7(a)(1) and (2) and any indemnity
payments due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7(a)(3) shall not in the
aggregate on any Payment Date exceed the Expense Reserve Amount, if any;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall advance any amounts in excess thereof
due under this Section 6.7.
(d) If the Bonds have been declared due and payable following an
Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.2, which acceleration of Maturity and
its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled and moneys collected by
the Trustee are being applied in accordance with Section 5.8 as may be amended
by any Series Supplement, expenses, disbursements and advances due the Trustee
under 6.7(a)(2) and indemnity payments due to the Trustee under Section
6.7(a)(3) hereof shall no longer be subject to the provisions of Section
6.7(c).
-85-
<PAGE> 96
(e) As security for the payment obligations of the Issuer pursuant
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.7, the Issuer hereby Grants to
the Trustee a lien ranking at all times senior to the lien of the Bonds with
respect to which any claim of the Trustee under this Section arose and senior
to all other liens, if any, upon all property and funds held or collected as
part of the Trust Estate for such Bonds by the Trustee in its capacity as such.
The Trustee shall not (i) exercise or enforce such senior lien in any manner,
or (ii) institute any Proceeding against the Issuer for any payments,
reimbursements, or indemnifications to the Trustee or to enforce such lien, in
either case unless (i) the Bonds have been declared due and payable following
an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.2, (ii) such acceleration of Maturity
and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, and (iii) moneys
collected by the Trustee are being applied in accordance with Section 5.8, as
may be amended by any Series Supplement.
(f) Subject to the last sentence of Section 6.7(e), nothing in
this Section 6.7 shall be construed to limit (except as otherwise expressly
provided in subsection (e) of this Section 6.7) the exercise by the Trustee of
any right or remedy permitted under the Indenture or otherwise in the event of
the Issuer's failure to pay the amounts due the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 6.7.
Section 6.8 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.
In addition to the conflicting interests specified in TIA Section
310(b), the Trustee shall be deemed to have a conflicting interest under said
Section 310(b) upon the occurrence of a default, if by reason of supplements
or amendments to this Indenture as originally executed there shall be created
covenants, restrictions, conditions or additional events of default which
(1) unless otherwise provided in the related Series
Supplement, would give the Holders of Bonds of any Series any rights
with respect to the Trust Estate or any other property held by the
Trustee for the benefit of Holders of Bonds of any other Series with
respect to which it is also serving as Trustee, or
(2) is sufficiently likely to involve a material conflict
of interest between Series of Bonds that it is advisable in the public
interest or for the protection of Holders of Bonds of any Series that
the Trustee disqualify itself from acting as such with respect to one
or more applicable Series of Bonds.
Section 6.9 Eligibility; Trustee's Capital and Surplus.
The Trustee shall at all times meet the then current capital and
surplus requirements of the TIA and shall have a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000 or be a member or subsidiary of a bank holding system,
the aggregate combined capital and surplus of which is at least $50,000,000.
If the Trustee or the members of the bank holding company system of which it is
a part publish annual reports of condition of the type described in TIA Section
310(a)(2), its (or such bank holding company system's) combined capital and
surplus for purposes of TIA Section 310(a)(2) shall be as set forth in the
latest such report or reports. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible
-86-
<PAGE> 97
in accordance with the provisions of TIA Section 310(a)(2), it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article.
Section 6.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
(a) Subject to the provisions of the Series Supplement
with respect to any Series of Bonds, the Trustee may resign at any
time with respect to the Bonds of one or more Series (or for fewer
than all Classes within any such Series) by giving written notice
thereof to the Issuer. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor
Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee 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.
(b) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect
to any Series, or any Class within any Series, by Act of the Holders
representing more than 50% of the Aggregate Current Principal Amount
of the Outstanding Bonds of that Series, delivered to the Trustee and
to the Issuer.
(c) If at any time following a default:
(1) the Trustee shall have a conflicting interest
under Section 6.8 and TIA Section 310(b) and shall fail to
resign or eliminate such conflicting interest in accordance
with TIA Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the
Issuer or by any Bondholder, or
(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under
Section 6.9 or shall become incapable of acting or shall be
adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee
or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property
or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation,
then, in any such case, (i) the Issuer by a Board Resolution may
remove the Trustee, and the Issuer shall join with the Trustee in the
execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements
necessary or proper to appoint a successor Trustee and to vest in such
successor Trustee any property, title, right or power deemed necessary
or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Indenture;
provided, however, if the Issuer does not join in such appointment
within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request to do
so, or in case an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the
Trustee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to make such
appointment, or (ii) subject to Section 5.15, and, in the case of a
conflicting interest as described in clause (1) above, unless the
Trustee's duty to resign has been stayed as provided in TIA Section
310(b), any Bondholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Bond for
at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal
of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
-87-
<PAGE> 98
(d) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become
incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the
Trustee with respect to the Bonds of one or more Series, or any Class
within such Series, for any cause, the Issuer by a Board Resolution
shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to such Series
or such Class. If within one year after such resignation, removal or
incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy a successor Trustee
with respect to any Series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of
Bonds representing more than 50% of the Aggregate Current Principal
Amount of the Outstanding Bonds of that Series delivered to the Issuer
and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall,
forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the
successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the
Issuer. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the
Issuer or Bondholders and shall have accepted appointment in the
manner hereinafter provided, any Bondholder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Bond for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and
all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(e) The Issuer shall give or shall cause to be given
notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each
appointment of a successor Trustee to the Holders of Bonds of each
Series affected thereby. Each notice shall include the name of the
successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.
Section 6.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Issuer and the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee
shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on request of
the Issuer or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights,
powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee (provided, however, that if the
retiring Trustee has been removed or has resigned, pursuant to Section 6.10,
with respect to less than all Series for which it is Trustee, or for less than
all Classes within any such Series, then such transfer shall be limited to its
rights and powers with respect to each Series or Class with respect to which it
has resigned or been removed), and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to
such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder (provided, however, that if the retiring Trustee has been removed or
has resigned, pursuant to Section 6.10, with respect to less than all Series
for which it is Trustee, or for less than all Classes within any such Series,
then such assignment, transfer and delivery by the retiring Trustee shall be
limited to the property and money held by it for the benefit of the Holders of
Bonds of the Series or Class with respect to which it has resigned or been
removed); provided, however, that the execution and delivery of any such
instruments by the retiring Trustee and the succession of a new Trustee shall
not in any way (i) impair or release the liens of the retiring Trustee provided
for in Section 6.7, (ii) constitute a waiver of any charges due the retiring
Trustee under the Indenture, or (iii) constitute a waiver of any right of the
retiring Trustee to institute proceedings to enforce any rights or remedies
available to the
-88-
<PAGE> 99
retiring Trustee pursuant to this Indenture. Upon request of any such successor
Trustee, the Issuer shall execute and deliver any and all instruments for more
fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all
such rights, powers and trusts.
No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time
of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under
this Article.
Section 6.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business 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 all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this
Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Bonds have been authenticated,
but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger,
conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Bonds so authenticated with the same effect as
if such successor Trustee had authenticated such Bonds.
Section 6.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer .
The Trustee, and any co-trustee or separate trustee authorized in
Section 6.14, shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b), and a Trustee, co-trustee or separate
trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a)
to the extent indicated.
Section 6.14 Co-trustees and Separate Trustees.
At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal
requirements of the TIA or of any jurisdiction in which any of a Trust Estate
may at the time be located, or the requirements of the Series Supplement with
respect to any Series of Bonds, the Issuer and the Trustee shall have power to
appoint, and, upon the written request of the Trustee or of the Holders of
Bonds representing more than 50% of the Aggregate Current Principal Amount of
the Outstanding Bonds of the Series or Class, as the case may be, secured by
the Trust Estate with respect to which a co-trustee or separate trustee is
being appointed, the Issuer shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the
execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary
or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee either to act
as co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee, of all or any part of such Trust
Estate, or to act as separate trustee of any such property, in either case with
such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in
such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or
power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this
Section. If the Issuer does not join in such appointment within 15 days after
the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Trustee alone shall have power to make such
appointment.
-89-
<PAGE> 100
Should any written instrument from the Issuer be required by any
co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to such
co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and
all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered
by the Issuer.
Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms:
(1) The Bonds shall be authenticated and delivered and
all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the
custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or
required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall
be exercised, solely by the Trustee.
(2) The Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing
executed by it, with the concurrence of the Issuer evidenced by a
Board Resolution, may accept the resignation of or remove any
co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, in
case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee
shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such
co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Issuer.
Upon the written request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall join with
the Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all
instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such
resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate
trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided
in this Section.
(3) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Trustee, or
any other such trustee hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be
personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any co-trustee
or other such separate trustee hereunder.
(4) Any Act of Bondholders delivered to the Trustee shall
be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate
trustee.
Section 6.15 Authenticating Agents.
Upon the request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall appoint an
Authenticating Agent with power to act on its behalf and subject to its
direction in the authentication and delivery of the Bonds of each Series
designated for such authentication by the Issuer and containing provisions
therein for such authentication (or with respect to which the Issuer has made
other arrangements, satisfactory to the Trustee and such Authenticating Agent,
for notation on the Bonds of such Series of the authority of an Authenticating
Agent appointed after the initial authentication and delivery of such Bonds) in
connection with transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.6 and 2.7, as fully to
all intents and purposes as though the Authenticating Agent had been expressly
authorized by those Sections to authenticate and deliver Bonds of such Series.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Authenticating Agent for a Series is
designated in the related Series Supplement, no separate request or appointment
shall be required. For all purposes of this Indenture (other than in
connection with the authentication
-90-
<PAGE> 101
and delivery of Bonds pursuant to Sections 2.5 and 2.12 in connection with their
initial issuance and for purposes of Section 2.8), the authentication and
delivery of Bonds by the Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section shall be
deemed to be the authentication and delivery of Bonds "by the Trustee." Such
Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a Person that both meets the
requirements of Section 6.9 for the Trustee hereunder and has its principal
office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York.
Any Authenticating Agent for a Series shall also serve as Bond
Registrar or co-Bond Registrar for such Series, as provided in Section 2.7.
Any Authenticating Agent appointed by the Trustee pursuant to the terms of this
Section 6.15 or pursuant to the terms of any Supplemental Indenture shall
deliver to the Trustee as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such
appointment an instrument accepting the trusts, duties and responsibilities of
Authenticating Agent and of Bond Registrar or co-Bond Registrar and
indemnifying the Trustee for and holding the Trustee harmless against, any
loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys, fees) incurred
without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance, administration of the trust or exercise of authority by
such Authenticating Agent, Bond Registrar or co-Bond Registrar.
Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business
of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of the Authenticating Agent
hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this
Section, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the
parties hereto or the Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.
Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written
notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Issuer. The Trustee may at any
time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice
of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Issuer. Upon receiving
such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time
any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the
Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give
written notice of such appointment to the Issuer and shall mail notice of such
appointment to all Holders of Bonds of the applicable Series.
The Trustee agrees, subject to Section 6.1(e), to pay to any
Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services
and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject
to Section 6.7. The provisions of Sections 2.10, 6.4 and 6.5 shall be
applicable to any Authenticating Agent.
Section 6.16 Alternate Trustees.
Whenever the Issuer shall so determine, a Person different than the
initial Trustee may be appointed by the Issuer to act as an alternate Trustee
with respect to any Series of Bonds proposed to be issued hereunder. Such
alternate Trustee shall also satisfy the eligibility requirements of the
-91-
<PAGE> 102
TIA and this Article VI. The Issuer shall have the power to appoint a separate
Trustee to act as Trustee with respect to any Series of Bonds proposed to be
issued hereunder and each such alternate Trustee and the Issuer alone shall
have the power to execute and deliver an agreement supplemental hereto, which
agreement supplemental hereto may be the Series Supplement for such Series of
Bonds, which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or
desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trust and duties of the
Trustee with respect to the Outstanding Bonds of any Series as to which the
Trustee initially named in the Series Supplement for such Series is not
retiring, shall continue to be vested in such initial Trustee, and shall add to
or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to
provide for or facilitate the administration of the trust hereunder by more
than one Trustee with respect to the Outstanding Bonds of any Series as to
which the initial Trustee named herein is not to be the Trustee or with respect
to any proposed Series of Bonds, it being understood that nothing herein or in
such supplemental agreement shall constitute such Trustees as co-Trustees of
the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be a Trustee of a separate
trust or trusts with respect to different Series of Bonds each concurrently
Outstanding. No separate or alternate Trustee shall accept its appointment
unless, at the time of such acceptance such separate Trustee shall be qualified
and eligible under this Article VI.

ACCOUNTS, PAYMENTS OF INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL, AND RELEASES
Section 8.1 Collection of Moneys.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee may demand
payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without
intervention or assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money
and other property payable to or receivable by the Trustee pursuant to this
Indenture. The Trustee shall hold all such money and property received by it
as part of the Trust Estate with respect to which it was received, and shall
apply it as provided in this Indenture. If the Trustee shall not have received
a Distribution with respect to any Certificate by the Business Day immediately
following the related Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, unless the Issuer
shall have made provisions satisfactory to the Trustee for delivery to the
Trustee of an amount equal to such Distribution, request the issuer or
guarantor of such Certificate, as appropriate, to make such payment as promptly
as practicable or legally permitted. If the Trustee shall subsequently receive
any such Distribution, it may withdraw such request. Notwithstanding any other
provision hereof, the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer or its designee or
assignee any Distribution received with respect to a Certificate after the
related Distribution Date to the extent that the Issuer previously made payment
or provision for payment with respect to such Distribution in accordance with
this Section 8.1, and any such Distribution shall not be deemed part of the
Trust Estate for the related Series.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, if,
following any request by the Trustee for payment of a late Distribution, any
default occurs in the making of such payment, or if a default occurs in any
other performance required under any Certificate with respect to any Series,
the Trustee may, and upon the request of the Holders of Bonds representing more
than 50% of the Aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Outstanding Bonds of
the affected Series shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce
such payment or performance including the institution and prosecution of
appropriate Proceedings. Any such action shall be without prejudice to any
right to claim a Default or Event of Default with respect to such Series under
this Indenture and to proceed thereafter as provided in Article V.
Section 8.2 Collection Accounts.
(a) On or before the Closing Date for a Series, the
Issuer shall open, at the Corporate Trust Office, one or more accounts
(each of which shall be an Eligible Account) which shall collectively
be the "Collection Account" for such Series. The Trustee shall
promptly deposit in the related Collection Account all Distributions
received by it with respect to Certificates securing the Bonds of a
Series (other than Distributions required to be delivered to the
Issuer pursuant to Section 8.1). All Distributions deposited from
time to time in a Collection Account, any amount required to be
deposited in the Collection Account for a Series pursuant to Section
2.12(g) and the terms of the related Series Supplement, all
-95-
<PAGE> 106
other deposits therein pursuant to this Indenture, and all investments
made with such moneys, including all income or other gain from such
investments, shall be held by the Trustee in such Collection Account
as part of the Trust Estate for the related Series as herein provided,
subject to withdrawal by the Trustee for the purposes set forth in
subsections (c) and (d) of this Section 8.2. All funds withdrawn from
a Collection Account pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 8.2
for the purpose of making payments to the Holders of Bonds of the
related Series shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.3.
(b) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing with respect to a Series of Bonds, all or a
portion of the related Collection Account shall be invested and
reinvested by the Trustee at the Issuer's direction or pursuant to the
provisions of the related Series Supplement in one or more Eligible
Investments bearing interest or sold at discount. No such investment
shall mature later than the Business Day immediately preceding the
next Principal Reduction Date for such Series unless permitted
otherwise by the Rating Agencies.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) except as permitted by clause (ii) below, no
investment of any amount held in a Collection Account may
mature later than the Business Day immediately preceding the
next Payment Date for Bonds of the related Series unless
permitted otherwise by the Rating Agencies,
(ii) any investment (including repurchase
agreements) on which the Trustee (or any agent of the Trustee
acceptable to the Rating Agency or Agencies that rated such
Series) is the obligor, may mature on a Payment Date or
Special Payment Date if, under this Section 8.2, such
investment could otherwise mature on the Business Day
immediately preceding such Payment Date or Special Payment
Date and
(iii) if there are any Overdue Bonds of a
Series Outstanding, funds then in the related Collection
Account may be invested in investments maturing later than the
Business Day immediately preceding the next Special Payment
Date, unless permitted otherwise by the Rating Agencies, only
to the extent that after giving effect to such proposed
investment the amount of funds that would be on deposit in the
Collection Account (including therein the amount of
Distributions and proceeds of investments scheduled to be
deposited in such Collection Account prior to such next
Special Payment Date) and would be available to make payments
on the Bonds of such Series on such next Special Payment Date,
exceeds any payments of principal of or interest on any
Overdue Bonds of such Series due and payable on such next
Special Payment Date.
All income or other gains from investment of moneys deposited
in a Collection Account shall be deposited by the Trustee in such
Collection Account
-96-
<PAGE> 107
immediately upon receipt, and any loss resulting from such investment
shall be charged to such Collection Account.
(c) Unless the Bonds of a Series have been declared due
and payable pursuant to Section 5.2 and moneys collected by the
Trustee with respect to such Series are being applied in accordance
with Section 5.8, amounts on deposit in the related Collection Account
on any Payment Date or Special Payment Date shall be withdrawn from
such Collection Account, in the amounts required, for application as
follows:
(i) on any Special Payment Date, except to the
extent provided otherwise in the applicable Series Supplement
and to the extent permitted by applicable law,
first, to the payment of all interest due
with respect to any Overdue Bonds of such Series
called for redemption, pro rata without any
preference or priority as to Maturity, and
second, to the payment of amounts due with
respect to principal of such Overdue Bonds
(including any portion of an installment of
principal required to be paid which was not paid
therefor, and any amounts remaining unpaid on
Bonds with respect to which the Redemption Price
was not paid in full on the applicable Redemption
Date), in the order in which such amounts became
due and pro rata among all amounts which became
due on the same date, each such amount being the
amount thereof set forth in the applicable
Special Payment Date Statement; and
(ii) on any Payment Date, in accordance with the
order of priority of payment specified in the related Series
Supplement;
each such amount being the amount thereof set forth in the applicable
Special Payment Date Statement or Payment Date Statement, as the case
may be.
(d) On or after each Payment Date for a Series, so long
as the Trustee shall have prepared a Payment Date Statement in respect
of such Payment Date and shall have made, or, in accordance with
Section 3.3, set aside from amounts in the Collection Account for such
Series an amount sufficient to make the payment of principal of and
interest on the Bonds of such Series then required to be made as
indicated in such Payment Date Statement, the cash balance, if any,
then remaining in the related Collection Account, less the amount of
Distributions due on the related Certificates but not received on the
immediately preceding Distribution Date and the amount of any
Reinvestment Income then payable to the Bond Manager, shall be
withdrawn from such Collection Account by the Trustee and applied
first, to the payment of any unpaid amount due the
Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7,
-97-
<PAGE> 108
second, to the payment of any unpaid amount due any
firm of Independent Accountants pursuant to Section 8.9(a),
third, to the extent required by the related Series
Supplement, to deposit an amount in the related Expense Fund
(any amount so deposited being released from the lien of the
Indenture pursuant to Section 8.10).
Except as otherwise provided in the related Series Supplement, the
balance, if any, of the amount so withdrawn shall be released from the
lien of this Indenture and paid by the Trustee (i) with respect to
each Series of Bonds for which a REMIC election or elections has or
have not been made and will not be made, to the Issuer or, upon Issuer
Order, to its assignee, or (ii) where such an election or elections
has or have been made or will be made, to the Residual Interest that
is entitled to such assets as stipulated in the related Series
Supplement, in each case subject to satisfaction of the following
conditions:
(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing,
(ii) an Independent Accountant shall have
delivered to the Trustee the certificate or opinion in respect
of such Payment Date required by Section 8.9(b);
(iii) the Issuer shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions
precedent to such release specified in this subsection (d)
have been satisfied, and
(iv) the Issuer shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that all documents
delivered to the Trustee in connection with such release
comply as to form with the requirements of this subsection (d)
and all conditions precedent to such release specified in this
subsection (d) have been satisfied.

Section 8.4 Reserved.
Section 8.5 Reserved.
Section 8.6 General Provisions Regarding Pledged
Accounts.
(a) Each Pledged Account shall relate solely to the Bonds
of the Series with respect to which it was established and to the
Certificates and other property securing such Series. Funds and other
property in each Pledged Account shall not be commingled with any
other moneys or property of the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may hold any funds or other
property received or held by it as part of a Pledged Account in
collective accounts maintained by it in the normal course of its
-98-
<PAGE> 109
business and containing funds or property held by it for other Persons
(which may include the Issuer or an Affiliate), provided that such
accounts are under the sole control of the Trustee and the Trustee
maintains adequate records indicating the ownership of all such funds
or property and the portions thereof held for credit to each Pledged
Account.
(b) The Issuer will not direct the Trustee to make any
investment of any funds in a Pledged Account or to sell any investment
held in a Pledged Account except under the following terms and
conditions:
(i) each such investment shall be made in the
name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) or in the name
of a Qualified Nominee of the Trustee (or, if, as indicated by
an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee, applicable law
provides for perfection of pledges of an investment not
evidenced by a certificate or other instrument through
registration of such pledge on books maintained by or on
behalf of the issuer of such investment, such pledge may be so
registered),
(ii) the Trustee shall have sole control over such
investment, the income thereon and the proceeds thereof,
(iii) any certificate or other instrument
evidencing such investment shall be delivered directly to the
Trustee or its agent, and
(iv) the proceeds of each sale of such an
investment shall be remitted by the purchaser thereof directly
to the Trustee for deposit in the Pledged Account in which
such investment was held.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in the related Series
Supplement, if a REMIC election or elections has or have been made or
will be made in respect of the assets securing such Series, prior to
any disposition of any investment in a Pledged Account that would
result in a gain to a REMIC of such Series, the Trustee shall inform
the Issuer of its intention to dispose of such investment and of the
possibility that such disposition could result in the imposition of
taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the
Code. If any amounts are needed for disbursement from a Pledged
Account and sufficient uninvested funds are not available therein to
make such disbursement, in the absence of an Issuer Order for the
liquidation of investments held therein in an amount sufficient to
provide the required funds, the Trustee shall cause to be sold or
otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in
such Pledged Account.
(d) The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by
reason of any insufficiency in any Pledged Account except for losses
on investments which are liabilities of the Trustee (or of any agent
of the Trustee).
(e) All investments of funds in a Pledged Account and all
sales of investments held in a Pledged Account shall, except as
provided below, be made by the Trustee in
-99-
<PAGE> 110
accordance with an Issuer Order. Subject to compliance with the
requirements of Section 8.2(b), such Issuer Order may authorize the
Trustee to make the specific investments set forth therein, to make
investments from time to time consistent with the general instructions
set forth therein, or to make specific investments pursuant to
written, telegraphic or telephonic instructions of the employees or
agents of the Issuer identified therein, in each case in such amounts
as such Issuer Order shall specify.
In the event that:
(i) the Issuer shall have failed to give
investment directions to the Trustee by 12:30 p.m. Eastern
Time on any Business Day authorizing the Trustee to invest the
funds then in a Pledged Account,
(ii) a Default or Event of Default with respect to
such Series shall have occurred and be continuing but the
Bonds of such Series shall not have been declared due and
payable pursuant to Section 5.2, or
(iii) an Event of Default with respect to such
Series shall have occurred and be continuing, the Bonds of
such Series shall have been declared due and payable pursuant
to Section 5.2, and amounts collected or receivable from the
related Trust Estate are being applied in accordance with
Section 5.8,
the Trustee shall invest and reinvest the funds then in each related
Pledged Account to the fullest extent practicable, in such manner as
the Trustee shall from time to time determine, but only in one or more
Eligible Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount. All
investments made pursuant to clause (i) above shall mature on the next
Business Day following the date of such investment, all such
investments made pursuant to clause (ii) above shall mature no later
than the maturity date therefor permitted by Section 8.2(b), or by the
terms of any related Series Supplement, whichever is applicable, and
all investments made pursuant to clause (iii) above shall mature no
later than the first date following the date of such investment on
which the Trustee proposes to make a distribution to Holders of Bonds
of the related Series pursuant to Section 5.8.
(f) Subject to the restriction on the maturity of
investments set forth in Sections 8.2(b), or in any related Series
Supplement, and notwithstanding paragraph (e) above, the Issuer will
give appropriate and timely investment directions to the Trustee such
that at the close of business on not more than two Business Days in
any one calendar year not more than an aggregate of $50,000 of funds
in the Pledged Accounts for a Series are not invested pursuant,
directly or indirectly, to an Issuer Order in Eligible Investments
bearing interest or sold at a discount which mature on or after the
opening of business on the next Business Day.
(g) Unless it shall have otherwise agreed in writing with
the Issuer, the Trustee shall not be required to enter into repurchase
obligations for the investment of funds in any
-100-
<PAGE> 111
Pledged Account with any Person whose repurchase obligations would be
Eligible Investments only if the requirements of subclause (b) of
clause (iii) of the definition of the term "Eligible Investments" were
complied with in connection with such investment.
Section 8.7 Reports by Trustee to Bondholders.
On each Payment Date for a Series the Trustee shall deliver a written
report
(a) to each Holder of Bonds of a Class of such Series on
which a payment of principal and interest is then being made, setting
forth the amount of such payment which represents principal and the
amount which represents interest, and the principal amount of an
Individual Bond of each such Class after giving effect to the payment
of principal made on such Payment Date;
(b) to each Holder of Bonds of a Class of such Series on
which a payment of interest only is then being made, setting forth the
Class Current Principal Amount and Class Imputed Principal Balance of
Bonds of each Class of such Series Outstanding after giving effect to
the payment of principal made on such Payment Date and the allocation
of all Realized Losses and any Junior Bond Writedown Amount then
allocable to such Class and after including in the aggregate principal
amount of Compound Interest Bonds Outstanding the amount of any
accrued interest added to the principal amount thereof on such Payment
Date; and
(c) to each Holder of a Compound Interest Bond of such
Series (but only if such Holder shall not have received on such
Payment Date a payment of interest equal to the entire amount of
Accrued Bond Interest on such Bond for such Payment Date, or since the
related Accrual Date if no Payment Date has yet occurred), setting
forth
(i) the information contained in the report
delivered pursuant to clause (b) above,
(ii) the interest accrued on an Individual Bond of
such Class of Compound Interest Bonds through the Interest
Accrual Period for such Payment Date and added to the
principal of such Compound Interest Bond, and
(iii) the principal amount of an Individual Bond of
such Class of Compound Interest Bonds after giving effect to
the addition thereto of interest accrued thereon during the
Interest Accrual Period for such Payment Date.
(d) to each Holder of Bonds of a Class of such
Series, the aggregate amount of Realized Losses and any Junior
Bond Write Down Amount allocated to the Bonds of such Class on
such Payment Date;

such Bonds and allocation of any Realized Losses and the Junior Bond Write Down
Amount, if any, allocable on such Payment Date.
Section 8.8 Reports by Trustee.
In addition to any statements required to be delivered or prepared by the
Trustee pursuant to Sections 2.9 or 8.2, the Trustee shall deliver to the
Issuer and the Independent Accountants appointed pursuant to Section 8.9,
within two Business Days after the request of either the Issuer or such
Independent Accountants, a written report setting forth the amount of each
Pledged Account or Fund established hereunder and the identity of the
investments included therein. Without limiting the generality of the

Eligible Substitute Certificates has been registered in the
name of the Trustee or a Qualified Nominee or (B) notification
from a bank, broker, clearing corporation or other Person that
maintains securities accounts for the Issuer or the Trustee
and is acting in that capacity with respect to such Eligible
Substitute Certificates that either (1) ownership of such
Eligible Substitute Certificates in the name of the Issuer and
the Grant thereof to the Trustee have been entered on the
securities accounts books of such Person or (2) ownership
-104-
<PAGE> 115
of such Eligible Substitute Certificates in the name of the
Trustee has been entered on the securities accounts books of
such Person;
(iv) the Trustee shall have received a certificate
or opinion from a firm of Independent Accountants stating that

Granted in substitution for the Certificates to be released
satisfy all conditions precedent to such release and
substitution set forth in the Indenture and the related Series
Supplement that are of a type that can be verified by

Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to such
release specified in this subsection (a) and in the related

Estate comprised of the Eligible Substitute Certificates; and
(vii) the Trustee shall have received a certificate
of an Independent Person, whose regular business activity
includes valuing securities similar to such Eligible
Substitute Certificates, as to the fair market value of such
Eligible Substitute Certificates, which determination of fair
market value shall be based upon generally available market
quotations as of a date not earlier than three Business Days
prior to the date of Grant to the Trustee.

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES
Section 9.1 Supplemental Indentures without Consent of
Bondholders .
Without the consent of the Holders of any Bonds, the Issuer, when
authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to
time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form
satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes:
(1) to correct or amplify the description of any property
at any time subject to the lien of this Indenture, or better to
assure, convey and confirm unto the Trustee any property subject or
required to be subjected to the lien of this Indenture, or to subject
to the lien of this Indenture additional property;

restrictions on the authorized amount, terms and purposes of the
issuance, authentication and delivery of any Series of Bonds, as
herein set forth, additional conditions, limitations and restrictions
thereafter to be observed;
(3) to set forth the terms of, and security for, any
Series that has not theretofore been authorized by a Series
Supplement;
(4) to modify or eliminate any of the terms of this
Indenture; provided, however, that
(A) such supplemental indenture shall expressly
provide that any such modifications or eliminations shall not
be effective with respect to any Outstanding Bond of any
Series created prior to the execution of such supplemental
indenture; and
(B) the Trustee may, in its discretion, decline
to enter into any such supplemental indenture which, in its
opinion, would adversely affect its own rights, duties or
immunities;
(5) to evidence the succession of another Person to the
Issuer, and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of
the Issuer herein and in the Bonds contained, or the appointment of an
alternate Trustee under Section 6.16;

benefit of the Holders of all Bonds or of the Bonds of any Series, or
to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer;
-106-
<PAGE> 117
(7) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other
provision herein, or to amend any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising under this Indenture; provided that such
action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of the Holders of any Series of Bonds; and provided,
further, that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Series of
Bonds if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from
each Rating Agency that the amendment would not result in the
downgrading or withdrawal of the ratings then assigned to any Series
of Bonds;
(8) to provide for the issuance of Bonds of any Series
(including Bonds of a Series theretofore authorized and then
Outstanding) or any Class within such Series in bearer form with
coupons ("Bearer Bonds") and for the exchangeability of Bearer Bonds
and Bonds of the same Series and Class issued in registered form
("Registered Bonds"); any such supplemental indenture may provide for
payments on Bearer Bonds only outside the United States and for
appointment of a foreign Paying Agent that does not satisfy the
requirements of clause (ii) of the definition of the term "Eligible
Investments" but is otherwise acceptable to the rating agencies that

provisions as may in the Issuer's judgment be necessary, appropriate
or convenient (a) to permit the Bonds to be issued and sold to or held
in bearer form by non-United States Persons, (b) to establish
entitlement to an exemption from United States withholding tax or
reporting requirements with respect to payments on the Bonds, (c) to

of Bearer Bonds who have provided names and addresses for such
purpose, or otherwise) with holders of Bearer Bonds, or (e) to
otherwise effectuate provisions for the issuance of Bearer Bonds and
their exchangeability with Registered Bonds (under no circumstances
will this provision allow the Trustee or the Issuer to issue a second
Class of "residual interests" as defined in the Code);
(9) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this
Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the

provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary or
appropriate to conform to any provisions of the TIA, as the same may
from time to time be amended; or
(10) if a REMIC election or elections has or have been
made or will be made in respect of the Trust Estate or such other
assets specified in such election and securing the Bonds of a Series,
to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Indenture to
such extent as shall be necessary (i) to maintain the qualification of
such assets as a REMIC under the Code or (ii) to avoid or minimize the
risk of the imposition of any tax on the Issuer, the Trust Estate or
another Person under the Code that would be a claim against the
Issuer, Trust Estate or such other Person, as the case may be, or
(iii) to prevent a REMIC Loss, provided that (a) there shall have been
delivered an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such action
-107-
<PAGE> 118
is necessary to maintain such qualification or to avoid any such tax
or minimize the risk of its imposition or to prevent such prohibited
transaction, respectively, and (b) such supplemental indenture shall
not have any of the effects described in paragraphs (1) through (6) of
the proviso to Section 9.2 of this Indenture.
Section 9.2 Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Bondholders.
With the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing not less than
two-thirds of the Aggregate Current Principal Amount of all Outstanding Bonds
in case Outstanding Bonds of all Series are to be affected or with the consent
of the Holders of Bonds representing not less than 66 2/3% of the Aggregate
Current Principal Amount of the Outstanding Bonds of each Series to be affected
in case one or more, but less than all, of the Series of Outstanding Bonds are
to be affected, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee,
the Issuer, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter
into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding
any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions, of this Indenture relating to such Series or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Holders of the Bonds of such Series under this
Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall,
without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby:
(1) change the Stated Maturity of the final installment
of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Bond or
reduce the principal amount thereof, the Bond Interest Rate thereon or
the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change Bond Redemption Date
for any Series of Bonds, change any place of payment where, or the
coin or currency in which, any Bond or any interest thereon is
payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of
the payment of any installment of interest due on any Bond on or after
the Stated Maturity thereof or for the enforcement of the payment of
the entire remaining unpaid principal amount of any Bond on or after
the Stated Maturity of the final installment of the principal thereof
(or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption
Date);
(2) reduce the percentage of the Aggregate Current
Principal Amount of the Outstanding Bonds of any Series, the consent
of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental
indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any

(3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section
5.13 or Section 5.17(b), except to increase any percentage specified

Outstanding Bond affected thereby;
(4) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the
definition of the term "Outstanding";
-108-
<PAGE> 119
(5) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or
on a parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part
of a Trust Estate or terminate the lien of this Indenture on any
property at any time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Bond
of the security afforded by the lien of this Indenture; or
(6) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in
such manner as to affect the calculation of the Debt Service
Requirement for any Payment Date for any Series of Bonds (including
the calculation of any of the individual components of such Debt
Service Requirement) or to affect rights of the Holders of Bonds of
any Series to the benefits of any provisions for the mandatory
redemption of Bonds of such Series contained herein or in the related
Series Supplement.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, prior to the date on which the
Class Imputed Principal Balance of each Class of Senior Bonds of a Series has
been reduced to zero, no amendment, variation or modification shall be made to
Article V hereof in respect of any Series of Bonds without the consent of the
Holders representing not less than 100% of the Aggregate Current Principal
Amount of all Outstanding Senior Bonds of such Series. The consent of the
Holders of any Junior Bonds of such Series shall not be required to be obtained
prior to making any amendment for such series to Article V above for so long as
any Senior Bond of such Series is Outstanding. Upon reduction to zero of the
Class Imputed Principal Balance of each Class of Senior Bonds of a Series, no
amendment, variation or modification to Article V hereof shall be made in
respect of such Series of Bonds without the consent of the Holders representing
not less than 66 2/3% of the Aggregate Current Principal Amount of the Highest
Priority Junior Class of such Series.
The Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any Bonds
of any particular Series would be affected by any supplemental indenture and
any such determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders of all Bonds,
whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder. The
Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.
It shall not be necessary for any Act of Bondholders under this
Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture,
but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.
Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section, the Issuer shall mail to the
Holders of the Bonds of each Series to which such supplemental indenture
relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such
supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any
defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of
any such supplemental indenture.
Section 9.3 Execution of Supplemental Indentures.
In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby
of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying
-109-
<PAGE> 120
upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental
indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. In addition, in
executing any supplemental indenture which modifies an existing trust created
by this Indenture, the Trustee shall require, as a condition of such execution
or acceptance if a REMIC election or elections has or have been made or will be
made in respect of the Trust Estate or such other assets specified in such
election and securing such Series of Bonds, a Non-Disqualification Opinion.
The Trustee may, but shall not (except to the extent required in the case of a
supplemental indenture entered into under Section 9.1(8)) be obligated to,
enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own
rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
Section 9.4 Effect of Supplemental Indentures.
Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article,
this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental
indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every
Holder of Bonds of any Series to which such supplemental indenture relates
which have theretofore been or thereafter are authenticated and delivered
hereunder shall be bound thereby.
Section 9.5 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.
Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall
conform to the requirements of TIA as then in effect so long as this Indenture
shall then be qualified under TIA.
Section 9.6 Reference in Bonds to Supplemental Indentures.
Bonds authenticated and delivered after the execution of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article which relates to the Series of
which such Bonds are a part may, and if required by the Issuer shall, bear a
notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such
supplemental indenture. If the Issuer shall so determine, new Bonds so
modified as to conform, in the opinion of Trustee and the Issuer, to any such
supplemental indenture which relates to the Series of which such Bonds are a
part may be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered
by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Bonds of such Series.
Section 9.7 Amendments to Governing Documents.
Except as is otherwise provided in Section 3.8(c) the Trustee shall,
upon Issuer Request, consent to any proposed amendment to the Issuer's
governing documents, or an amendment to or waiver of any provision of any other
document relating to the Issuer's governing documents, such consent to be given
without the necessity of obtaining the consent of the Holders of any Bonds upon
receipt by the Trustee of:
(1) an Officer's Certificate, to which such proposed
amendment or waiver shall be attached, stating that such attached copy
is a true copy of the proposed amendment or
-110-
<PAGE> 121
waiver and that all conditions precedent to such consent specified in
this Section 9.7 have been satisfied; and
(2) written confirmation from each of the rating agencies
that rated any Series of the Issuer's Bonds that the implementation of
the proposed amendment or waiver will not adversely affect their
respective ratings of any Series of Bonds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may decline to consent to a
proposed waiver or amendment that adversely affects its own rights, duties or
immunities under the Indenture or otherwise.
Nothing in this Section 9.7 shall be construed to require that any
Person obtain the consent of the Trustee to any amendment or waiver or any
provision of any document where the making of such amendment or the giving of
such waiver without obtaining the consent of the Trustee is not prohibited by
the Indenture or by the terms of the document that is the subject of the
proposed amendment or waiver.

REDEMPTION OF BONDS
Section 10.1 Redemption.
All the Bonds of a Series may be redeemed in whole, but not in part,
on any Payment Date for such Series in accordance with and subject to the
provisions relating to such redemption contained in the related Series
Supplement. If the Issuer shall elect to redeem the Bonds of a Series pursuant
to this Section 10.1 and the related Series Supplement, it shall furnish notice
of such election to the Trustee not later than thirty (30) days prior to the
Payment Date selected for such redemption, whereupon all such Bonds shall be
due and payable on such Payment Date upon the furnishing of a notice pursuant
to Section 10.2 to each Holder of such Bonds.
Section 10.2 Form of Redemption Notice.
Unless otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement notices of
redemptions of Bonds shall be given by the Trustee in the name and at the
expense of the Issuer and shall be mailed, or caused to be mailed, no later
than five days prior to such Payment Date on which such Bonds are to be
redeemed to the Persons who were Holders of such Bonds at the close of business
on the tenth Business Day prior to such Payment Date notwithstanding the Record
Date otherwise applicable.
Unless otherwise provided in the related Series Supplement, no prior
notice of redemption at the request of a Bondholder or redemption of Book Entry
Bonds shall be required.
All notices of redemption shall state:
(1) the Payment Date on which such redemption will take
place,
(2) the Redemption Price at which the Bonds of such
Series will be redeemed,
(3) the fact of payment in full on such Bonds, the place
where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption
Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be
maintained as provided in Section 3.2), and that no interest shall
accrue on such Bond for any period after the date fixed for
redemption.
Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of
any Bond selected for redemption shall not impair or affect the validity of the
redemption of any other Bond.
-112-
<PAGE> 123
Section 10.3 Bonds Payable on Payment Date.
Notice of redemption having been given as provided in Section 10.2,
the Bonds or portions thereof so to be redeemed shall, on the applicable
Payment Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the
Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest shall
accrue on such Payment Date.
Section 10.4 Right of Redemption by Holder .
(a) Unless the Bonds of a Series have been declared due
and payable prior to their Stated Maturity by reason of an Event of
Default, a Holder may request the redemption of Bonds of one or more
Classes of such Series if the related Series Supplement provides that
such Class or Classes shall be subject to redemption as so provided in
this Section 10.4. A Bondholder may request redemption by delivering
the following to the Trustee on or before the Tender Date: (i) a
written request for redemption in form satisfactory to the Trustee
(such as the form appearing on the back of each Bond), by the
Bondholder or the Bondholder's legal representative, with appropriate
evidence of authority; (ii) in the case of Definitive Bonds, the
certificate or certificates representing the Bond or Bonds for which
redemption is being requested, and (iii) in the case of a request on
behalf of a deceased Holder, appropriate evidence of death and any tax
waivers requested by the Trustee. With respect to each Class of Bonds
subject to redemption at the request of Holders, on each Payment Date
for such Series, the Issuer shall redeem Bonds with respect to which
redemption has been properly requested in the order of priority
described in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4 and subject to the
limitations that (1) except as set forth in such subsection (b), the
Issuer shall not, on any one Payment Date, redeem from any personal
representative, surviving joint tenant or surviving tenant by the
entirety of a deceased Holder more than one hundred Individual Bonds
of such Series or redeem from any other Holder more than ten
Individual Bonds of such Series, unless all other Holders of Bonds for
which redemption has been properly requested for such Payment Date
have had their Bonds redeemed up to such limitations, and (2) with
respect to each Class of a Series subject to redemption pursuant to
this Section 10.4, the Issuer shall, on each Redemption Date, only
make redemptions to the extent of the aggregate amount of principal
payable on the Bonds of such Class on such Payment Date, rounded down
to the nearest Individual Bond (the "Class Redemption Amount"). Bonds
which have been accepted for Redemption shall become due and payable
on the applicable Redemption Date and shall cease to bear interest as
of the end of the Interest Accrual Period for such Redemption Date.
Upon presentation and surrender of such Bonds for redemption on or
after the Redemption Date therefor, such Bonds shall be redeemed by
the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest.
Installments of interest due on or prior to a Redemption Date shall
continue to be payable to the Holders of such Bonds as of the
applicable Record Date according to their terms and the provisions of
Section 2.9.
(b) Subject to the limitations provided in subsection (a)
of this Section 10.4, with respect to each Redemption Date and with
respect to each Class, requests for redemption of Deceased Holder
Bonds shall be accepted in the order of receipt of such requests by
the
-113-
<PAGE> 124
Trustee to the extent permitted by the one hundred Individual Bond
limitation referred to in Section 10.4(a); requests for redemption of
Bonds other than Deceased Holder Bonds shall be accepted in the order
of receipt of such requests by the Trustee to the extent permitted by
the ten Individual Bond limitation referred to in Section 10.4(a),
after all requests for redemption of Deceased Holder Bonds of the same
Class theretofore submitted have been accepted within the one hundred
Individual Bond limitation. With respect to each Redemption Date, the
Issuer shall accept requests for redemption of Deceased Holder Bonds
in excess of the one hundred Individual Bond limitation, but only to
the extent of the Class Redemption Amount for such Class for such
Series after all requests for redemption in this subsection (b) with
respect to such Redemption Date within the one hundred Individual Bond
and ten Individual Bond limitations set forth above have been
accepted. With respect to each Redemption Date, the Issuer shall
accept requests for redemption of Bonds other than Deceased Holder
Bonds in excess of the ten Individual Bond limitation, but only to the
extent of the Class Redemption Amount for such Class for such Series
after all other requests for redemption in this subsection (b) with
respect to such Redemption Date within the one hundred Individual Bond
and ten Individual Bond limitations set forth above have been
accepted. With respect to each Redemption Date, the Issuer shall
accept requests for redemption of Bonds other than Deceased Holder
Bonds in excess of the ten Individual Bond limitation, but only to the
extent of the Class Redemption Amount for such Class for such Series
after all other requests for redemption in this subsection (b) with
respect to such Redemption Date have been accepted. Subject to the
foregoing provisions, requests for redemption shall be accepted in the
order that they were received by the Trustee.
(c) In order to obtain redemption, the Holder or the
personal representative, surviving joint tenant or surviving tenant by
the entirety of a deceased Holder must deliver to the Trustee on or
before the Tender Date preceding the Redemption Date: (i) a written
request for redemption in form satisfactory to the Trustee (such as
the form appearing on the certificate representing the Bonds), signed
by the Holder or the Holder's legal representative (with appropriate
evidence of authority), (ii) the certificates representing the Bond or
Bonds for which redemption is being requested, and (iii) in the case
of Deceased Holder Bonds, appropriate evidence of death and any tax
waivers required by the Trustee. No particular forms of request for
redemption or authority to request redemption are necessary (but the
form set forth on the form of Bond in Section 2.2 shall be
sufficient). Requests for redemption of Bonds received by the Trustee
after the Tender Date preceding the Redemption Date, and requests for
redemption not accepted in respect of such Redemption Date, whether on
behalf of a deceased Holder or otherwise, will be treated as a request
for redemption on the next succeeding Redemption Date, and the Bonds
submitted will be held by the Trustee, until the request is accepted
or withdrawn, except that the Trustee, in its discretion, may cancel
the certificates representing any such Bonds provided that it shall
maintain a record of the Bonds so cancelled and such Bonds shall
continue to be deemed Outstanding for all purposes. Within the first
five Business Days of any month, the Trustee shall notify each Holder
whose Bonds have been accepted for redemption in whole or in part on
the Redemption Date in such month. Only whole Individual Bonds may be
redeemed.

(d) For purposes of this Section, the death of a tenant
by the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common will be deemed the
death of a Holder, and the entire principal amount of the Bond so held
will be deemed to be a Deceased Holder Bond. The death of a person
who, during his lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the
beneficial interests of ownership of a Bond will be deemed the death
of the Holder, regardless of the registered Holder, if such beneficial
interest can be established to the satisfaction of the Trustee. Such
beneficial interest shall be deemed to exist in typical cases of
street name of nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Gifts to
Minors Act, community property or other joint ownership arrangement
between a husband and wife, and trust and certain other arrangements
where a person has substantially all of the beneficial ownership
interests in the Bonds during his or her lifetime. Beneficial
interest shall include the power to sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of a Bond and the right to receive the proceeds therefrom, as
well as interest and principal payable with respect thereto.
(e) To the extent that the Class Redemption Amount as
defined under Section 10.4(a) for a Principal Payment Date exceeds the
aggregate amount of Bonds of a Class to be redeemed on such Principal
Payment Date at the option of the Holders of such Class, Bonds of such
Class shall be mandatorily redeemed by the Issuer at the price
specified in the related Series Supplement. Unless otherwise provided
in the related Series Supplement, if less than all of the Bonds of any
such Class are to be redeemed, the particular Bonds to be redeemed
shall be selected by the Trustee from the Outstanding Bonds of such
Series not previously called or accepted for redemption, not more than
30 days prior to the applicable Principal Payment Date. The Trustee
shall select the Bonds to be redeemed by random lot. Only whole
Individual Bonds may be redeemed.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the
Individual Bonds selected for redemption pursuant to this Section
10.4(e) and, in the case of any Bond selected for partial redemption,
the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
(f) Beneficial Owners of Book Entry Bonds may tender
their interest in Bonds for redemption on any Principal Payment Date
subject to the limitations established in this Section 10.4. If, and
to the extent provided in the related Series Supplement, the Clearing
Agency will receive requests for redemption and requests for
withdrawal, determine the order of receipt of request for redemption,
select Bonds to be mandatorily redeemed, provide notices of redemption
and/or make payments of the redemption price and accrued interest, if
any, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the related Series
Supplement and the rules and procedures of the Clearing Agency.
(g) Each of the terms and provisions of this Section 10.4
may be modified, with respect to any Series, by the related Series
Supplement.

Section 10.5 Withdrawal of Requests.
Any requests for redemption pursuant to Section 10.4 may be withdrawn
by the persons making the same upon the delivery of a written request for such
withdrawal received by the Trustee not later than the Tender Date for a given
Redemption Date on which such Bond would otherwise be redeemable pursuant to
Section 10.4. If not so withdrawn, the redemption request will be irrevocable
with respect to the selection of Bonds for redemption on the Redemption Date
within such month. In the event a request for redemption has been withdrawn as
provided herein, the Trustee shall return the certificate representing the Bond
or Bonds in respect of which the redemption request has been withdrawn or, in
the case of Bonds the certificates of which were cancelled by the Trustee
pursuant to Section 10.4(c), the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, new certificates representing the Bonds in respect of
which the redemption request has been withdrawn, such new Bonds to be of the
same date and tenor as the Bonds cancelled under Section 10.4(c) in the amount
which remains outstanding.
Section 10.6 Redemption Register.
The Trustee shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office a register in
which it shall record, in the order of receipt, all requests for redemption
received by the Trustee under Section 10.4. The Trustee may establish such
procedures as it may deem fair and equitable in order to determine the order of
receipt of requests for redemption received by the Trustee on a single day, and
any such determination shall be conclusive. In establishing procedures for
determining the order of receipt of request for redemption, the Trustee may
designate from time to time any particular person, department or office as the
designated recipient of such requests and provide that, after Holders have been
notified in writing of such designation, no request for redemption will be
deemed received until received by the person, department or office so
designated. Unless withdrawn as provided in Section 10.5, all such requests
shall remain in effect until the Bonds which are the subject of such request
have been redeemed.

ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 11.1 Compliance Certificates and Opinions.
Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the Trustee to take
any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to
the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if
any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been
complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such
counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except
that in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing
of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture
relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate
or opinion need be furnished.
Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a
condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture, including one furnished
pursuant to specific requirements of this Indenture relating to a particular
application or request (other than certificates provided pursuant to TIA
Section 314(a)(4)) shall include and shall be deemed to include (regardless of
whether specifically stated therein) the following:
(1) a statement that each individual signing such
certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the
definitions herein relating thereto;
(2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the
examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions
contained in such certificate or opinion are based;
(3) a statement that, in the opinion of each such
individual, he has made such examination or investigation as is
necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether
or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and
(4) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each
such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.
Section 11.2 Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or
covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all
such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one
such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one
or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify
or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
-117-
<PAGE> 128
Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Issuer may be based,
insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are
erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as
it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer, stating that the
information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the
Issuer, unless such officer or counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable
care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with
respect to such matters are erroneous. Any opinion of counsel may be based on
the written opinion of other counsel, in which event such Opinion of Counsel
shall be accompanied by a copy of such other counsel's opinion and shall
include a statement to the effect that such counsel believes that such counsel
and the Trustee may reasonably rely upon the opinion of such other counsel.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.
Wherever in this Indenture, in connection with any application or
certificate or report to the Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall
deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as
evidence of the Issuer's compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that
the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at
the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the
facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be conditions
precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the
sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however,
be construed to affect the Trustee's right to rely upon the truth and accuracy
of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in
Section 6.1(b)(2).
Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the absence of the
occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default is a condition
precedent to the taking of any action by the Trustee at the request or
direction of the Issuer, then notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such
condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer's right to make such request
or direction, the Trustee shall be protected in acting in accordance with such
request or direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and
continuation of such Default or Event of Default as provided in Section 6.1(d).
Section 11.3 Acts of Bondholders.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to
be given or taken by Bondholders may be embodied in and evidenced by
one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such
Bondholders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and,
except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall
become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to
the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied
therein and evidenced thereby) are
-118-
<PAGE> 129
herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Bondholders signing
such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be
sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section
6.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the
manner provided in this Section.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of
any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a
witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public
or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds,
certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing
acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever such execution is
by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf
of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit
shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.
(c) The ownership of Bonds shall be proved by the Bond
Register.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Bonds
shall bind the Holder of every Bond issued upon the registration of
transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in
respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the
Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of
such action is made upon such Bonds.
(e) The Voting Record Date specified in this Indenture,
or in the related Series Supplement for any Series of Bonds, shall be
applicable with respect to all Acts of Bondholders under this Section
11.3.
Section 11.4 Notices, etc. to Trustee and Issuer.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or Act of Bondholders or other documents provided or permitted by this
Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with
(1) the Trustee by any Bondholder or by the Issuer shall
be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or
filed in writing to or with and received by the Trustee at its
Corporate Trust Office, or
(2) the Issuer by the Trustee or by any Bondholder shall
be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (except as provided in
Section 5.1(A)(3) and (4)) if in writing and mailed, first-class
postage-prepaid, to the Issuer addressed to it at 2711 N. Haskell,
Suite 1000, Dallas, Texas 75204 or at any other address previously
furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Issuer.

<PAGE> 130
Section 11.5 Notices and Reports to Bondholders; Waiver of
Notices.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to Bondholders of any event
or the mailing of any report to Bondholders, such notice or report shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each Bondholder affected by such event or to
whom such report is required to be mailed, at the address of such Bondholder as
it appears on the Bond Register, not later than the latest date, and not
earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice or the
mailing of such report. In any case where a notice or report to Bondholders is
mailed in the manner provided above, neither the failure to mail such notice or
report, nor any defect in any notice or report so mailed, to any particular
Bondholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice or report with respect
to other Bondholders, and any notice or report which is mailed in the manner
herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or
provided.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice
may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either
before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such
notice. Waivers of notice by Bondholders shall be filed with the Trustee, but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action
taken in reliance upon such waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a
result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical
to mail notice of any event to Bondholders when such notice is required to be
given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving
such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a
sufficient giving of such notice.
Section 11.6 Rules by Trustee and Agents.
The Trustee may make reasonable rules for any meeting of Bondholders.
Any Agent may make reasonable rules and set reasonable requirements for its
functions.
Section 11.7 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.
If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties
imposed by operation of TIA Section 318(c), the imposed duties under the TIA
shall control.
Section 11.8 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.
The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are
for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 11.9 Successors and Assigns.
All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer shall
bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.
Section 11.10 Severability.
In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Bonds shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 11.11 Benefits of Indenture.
Nothing in this Indenture or in the Bonds, expressed or implied, shall
give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors
hereunder, any separate trustee or co-trustee appointed under Section 6.14, any
alternate trustee appointed under Section 6.16 and the Bondholders, any benefit
or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.
Section 11.12 Legal Holidays.
In any case where the date of any Payment Date, Redemption Date,
Special Payment Date, or any other date on which principal of or interest on
any Bond or Overdue Bond is proposed to be paid shall not be a Business Day,
then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Bonds or this Indenture)
payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the nominal date of
any such Payment Date, Redemption Date, Special Payment Date, or other date for
the payment of principal of or interest on any Bond or Overdue Bond, as the
case may be, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any
such nominal date, provided such payment is made in full on such next
succeeding Business Day.
Section 11.13 GOVERNING LAW.
IN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT BONDHOLDERS ARE EXPECTED TO RESIDE IN MANY
STATES AND OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES AND THE DESIRE TO ESTABLISH WITH CERTAINTY
THAT THIS INDENTURE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF A STATE HAVING A WELL-DEVELOPED BODY OF COMMERCIAL
AND FINANCIAL LAW RELEVANT TO TRANSACTIONS OF THE TYPE CONTEMPLATED HEREIN,
THIS INDENTURE, EACH SERIES SUPPLEMENT AND EACH BOND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO
AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN.

<PAGE> 132
Section 11.14 Counterparts.
This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 11.15 Recording of Indenture.
This Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public
recording offices, such recording to be effected by the Issuer and at its
expense in compliance with any Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to Section
2.12(c) or 3.6.
Section 11.16 Corporate Obligation.
No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, against any
incorporator, subscriber to the capital stock, stockholder, officer or director
of the Issuer or the Trustee or of any predecessor or successor of the Issuer
or the Trustee with respect to the Issuer's obligations with respect to the
Bonds or the obligations of the Issuer or the Trustee under this Indenture or
any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith.
Section 11.17 Inspection.
The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any
representative of the Trustee, during the Issuer's normal business hours, to
examine all of the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the
Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be
audited by Independent Accountants selected by the Trustee, and to discuss its
affairs, finances and accounts with its officers, employees and Independent
Accountants (and by this provision the Issuer hereby authorizes its Accountants
to discuss with such representatives such affairs, finances and accounts), all
at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Any
expense incident to the exercise by the Trustee of any right under this Section
11.17 shall be borne by the Issuer.
Section 11.18 Usury.
The amount of interest payable or paid on any Bond under the terms of
this Indenture shall be limited to an amount which shall not exceed the maximum
nonusurious rate of interest allowed by the applicable laws of the United
States or the State of New York (whichever shall permit the higher rate), which
could lawfully be contracted for, charged or received (the "Highest Lawful
Rate"). In the event any payment of interest on any Bond exceeds the Highest
Lawful Rate, the Issuer stipulates that such excess amount will be deemed to
have been paid as a result of an error on the part of both the Trustee, acting
on behalf of the Holder of such Bond, and the Issuer, and the Holder receiving
such excess payment shall promptly, upon discovery of such error or upon notice
thereof from the Issuer or the Trustee, refund the amount of such excess or, at
the option of the Trustee, apply the excess to the payment of principal of such
Bond, if any, remaining unpaid. In
-122-
<PAGE> 133
addition, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of
Holders of Bonds for the use, forbearance or detention of money shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and
spread throughout the full term of such Bonds.
Section 11.19 REMIC Status.
The provisions of this Indenture shall be construed so as to carry out
the intention of the parties that the Trust Estate and any other assets
specified in such REMIC election or elections and securing a Series of Bonds,
be treated as a REMIC, if a REMIC election or elections has or have been made
or will be made in respect of the Trust Estate or such other assets, at all
times so long as any Bond of such Series is Outstanding (or would be treated as
Outstanding for purposes of a Non-Disqualification Opinion).
Section 11.20 Reserved.
Section 11.21 Appointment of Tax Matters Partner.
If a REMIC election or elections has or have been made or will be made
in respect of the Trust Fund or any other assets specified in such REMIC
election or elections which assets secure the Bonds of a Series, the tax
matters partner for each such REMIC and for all purposes of the Code shall be
the Person designated as such in the related Series Supplement.

Series 1997-2 Supplement dated as of October 29, 1997, between CMC
SECURITIES CORPORATION IV, a Delaware corporation (together with its successors
and assigns as provided in the Indenture referred to below, the "Issuer") and
U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (together with
its successors in trust thereunder as provided in the Indenture, the
"Trustee"), as trustee under an Indenture dated as of October 1, 1997 (such
Indenture, as thereafter amended and supplemented, is referred to herein as the
"Indenture").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
Section 2.3 of the Indenture provides, among other things, that the
Issuer, when authorized by its Board of Directors, and the Trustee may enter
into an indenture supplemental to the Indenture for the purpose of authorizing
a Series of Bonds and to specify certain terms of such Series of Bonds. The
Board of Directors of the Issuer has duly authorized the creation of a Series
of Bonds in an aggregate principal amount of $937,999,459 to be known as its
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations, Series 1997-2 (the "Series 1997-2 Bonds"),
and the Issuer and the Trustee are executing and delivering this Series 1997-2
Supplement in order to provide for the Series 1997-2 Bonds. All terms used in
this Series 1997-2 Supplement that are defined in the Indenture, either
directly or by reference therein, have the meanings assigned to them therein as
supplemented by Section 1 hereof, if applicable, except to the extent the
context clearly requires otherwise. Any such defined term that is defined in
the Indenture as relating to a particular Series rather than to all Bonds
generally shall, when used in this Series 1997-2 Supplement, relate to the
Series 1997-2 Bonds, whether or not expressly so stated herein.
GRANTING CLAUSES
The Issuer hereby Grants to the Trustee, for the exclusive benefit of
the Holders of the Series 1997-2 Bonds, all of the Issuer's right, title and
interest in and to (a) the mortgage pass-through certificates listed in
Schedule A to this Series 1997-2 Supplement, which the Issuer has caused to be
delivered to the Trustee herewith and which Conventional Certificates evidence
interests in pools of mortgage loans on single family residential properties,
and all Distributions with respect thereto payable at any time on or after the
first Distribution Date, (b) each Pledged Account for the Series 1997-2 Bonds,
including all income from the investment of funds in each such Pledged Account,
and (c) all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of any of the
foregoing into cash or other liquid property. Such Grants are made, however,
in trust, to secure the Series 1997-2 Bonds, equally and ratably, without
prejudice or distinction between any Series 1997-2 Bond and any other Series
1997-2 Bond by reason of difference in time of issuance or otherwise, and to
secure (i) the payment of all amounts due on the Series 1997-2 Bonds as such
amounts become due in accordance with their terms, (ii) the payment of all

(a) With the consent of the Holders of Series 1997-2 Bonds
representing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Principal Balance of all
Outstanding Series 1997-2 Bonds, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Issuer
and the Trustee, the Issuer, when authorized by an Issuer Resolution, and the
Trustee may take any action that by the terms of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement requires the consent of the holder of the Conventional Certificates,
including but not limited to: (1) entering into any amendments to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement; (2) removing or consenting to the removal of, and
appointing or consenting to the appointment of, a successor Master Servicer;
and (3) removing or consenting to the removal of, and appointing or consenting
to the appointment of, the Person acting as trustee under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that no such action shall, without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Bond affected thereby:
(1) reduce the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on its trust estate that are
required to be distributed on any Conventional
Certificate or change the repurchase price with
respect thereto, change any place of payment where,
or the coin or currency in which, any Conventional
Certificate or any interest thereon is payable, or
impair the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of the payment of any installment of
interest or principal due on any Conventional
Certificate or adversely affect the tax consequences
to any holder of a Conventional Certificate;
(2) change the requirement of the consent of the holders
of the Conventional Certificate for any such action
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
(3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, except
to increase any percentage specified herein; or
(4) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or
on a parity with the trust created by the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement with respect to any part of its
trust estate or terminate the trust created by the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement on any property at
any time subject thereto or deprive the Holder of any
Bond of the security afforded by the Conventional
Certificate;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section, Issuer and the Trustee may, without the consent of any Holder of any
Series 1997-2 Bonds, consent to the release from or termination of the trust
created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any Mortgage
Loan when such action by the Issuer and the Trustee is specifically authorized
by any other provision of the Indenture, this Series 1997-2 Supplement or the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any Series
1997-2 Bonds would be affected by any proposed action and any such
determination shall be conclusive upon the Holders
-45-
<PAGE> 49
of all series 1997-2 Bonds, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and
delivered hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for any such
determination made in good faith.
It shall not be necessary for any Act of Bondholders under this
Section to approve the particular form of any written instrument proposed to
effect such action, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the
substance thereof.
Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any
written instrument proposed to effect such action pursuant to this Section, the
Issuer shall mail to the Holders of the Series 1997-2 Bonds to which such
action relates a notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such
action. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein,
shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
action.

Person acting as trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement demand
indemnity satisfactory to it as a condition precedent to taking any action
requested by the Trustee, as holder of the Conventional Certificates, the

Agreement, PNC Mortgage Securities Corp. has agreed to serve as Bond
Administrator. The Trustee shall make elections to treat the Lower REMIC and
Upper REMIC as REMICs under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state
law. Such elections will be made on Forms 1066 or other appropriate federal
tax or information return or any appropriate state return for the taxable year
ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Bonds are issued. For
the purposes of the REMIC elections in respect of the Trust Estate, each Class
of Bonds having no Components (other than the Class RL and Class RU Bonds),
each Component (other than the Component IA-1-4) and each Sub-Component shall
be designated as the "regular interests" and the Class RU Bonds shall be
designated as the sole class of "residual interest" in the Upper REMIC. The
Lower Tier Interests shall be designated as the "regular interests" and the
Class RL Bonds shall be designated as the sole class of "residual interest" in
the Lower REMIC. The Trustee shall not permit the creation of any "interests"
in the Trust Estate (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) other than
the interests represented by the Lower REMIC Interests and the Bonds (including
the Components and Sub-Components).
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day" of
each of the Lower REMIC and Upper REMIC within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The Trustee shall pay out of its own funds, without any right
of reimbursement from the Trust Estate, any and all expenses relating to any
tax audit of the Trust Estate (including, but not

limited to, any professional fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings
with respect thereto that involved the Internal Revenue Service or state tax
authorities), other than the expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of
Counsel not obtained in connection with such an audit and other than taxes, in
either case except as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The
holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class RU Bonds shall be the
tax matters person of the Upper REMIC and the holder of the largest Percentage
Interest of the Class RL Bonds shall be the tax matters person of the Lower
REMIC, in each case in the manner provided under Treasury Regulations Section

required to be filed on behalf of the REMICs.
(d) The Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared, sign and
file all of the Tax Returns in respect of each Series 1997-2 REMIC, other than
Tax Returns required to be filed by a Master Servicer pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns
shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of reimbursement therefor. The
Trustee shall cause the first federal income tax return of each Series 1997-2
REMIC to include the information required by Treasury Regulation Section
1.860D-1(d)(2) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.860F- 4(b)(2).
(e) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of the Trust Estate all
reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of the
Trust Estate under the Code, REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance
issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority.
Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other
such compliance guidance, the Trustee shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a
Class RU or a Class RL Bond such information as is necessary for the
application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Class RU or a Class RL

(10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Trustee
reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and
issue prices of the Bonds, including, without limitation, the price, yield, and
prepayment assumption of the Bonds. The Prepayment Assumption for the purposes
of Section 4.3(b)(iv) of the Indenture is the Prepayment Assumption as defined

-47-
<PAGE> 51
REMIC as REMICs under the REMIC Provisions. The Trustee shall not take any
action, cause either the Upper REMIC or the Lower REMIC to take any action or
fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC
Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the
status of the either the Upper REMIC or the Lower REMIC as a REMIC or (ii)
result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Estate (including but not
limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2)
of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section
860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the
Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking
to take such action but in no event shall such Opinion of Counsel be an expense
of the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with
respect to either the Upper REMIC or the Lower REMIC created hereunder,
endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. The Trustee
shall cause the Master Servicers not to take or fail to take any action
(whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has received an
Opinion of Counsel (which such Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of
the Trustee) to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect
to such action. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Trustee will
take no action, nor permit any such action, that it knows will cause
substantially all of the assets of the Trust Estate to not consist of
"qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and
"permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited
transactions" of either the Upper REMIC or the Lower REMIC created hereunder as
defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on "net income from foreclosure
property" of either the Upper REMIC or the Lower REMIC as defined in Section
860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to either the Upper REMIC or the
Lower REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the
Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of
state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee pursuant
to Section 17(m) hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by
the Trustee of any of its obligations hereunder, (ii) to the applicable Master
Servicer pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if such tax arises
out of or results from a breach by such Master Servicer of any of its
obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or otherwise (iii)
Available Funds.
(h) On or before April 15 of each calendar year, commencing April
15, 1998, the Trustee shall deliver to each Master Servicer and each Rating
Agency a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Trustee stating the
Trustee's compliance with this Section 18.
(i) The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain
books and records with respect to the Trust Estate on a calendar year and on an
accrual basis.
(j) The Trustee shall not permit the acquisition of any assets by
either the Upper REMIC or the Lower REMIC unless it shall have received an
Opinion of Counsel (which such Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of
the Trustee) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in either the
Upper REMIC or the Lower REMIC will not cause either the Upper REMIC or the
Lower REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Bonds are
outstanding or subject either the Upper REMIC or the Lower REMIC to any tax
under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and
local law or ordinances.
-48-
<PAGE> 52
(k) The Trustee shall not enter into any arrangement by which
either the Upper REMIC or the Lower REMIC will receive a fee or other
compensation for services nor permit either of such REMICs to receive any
income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(l) Solely for purposes of satisfying Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii)
of the Treasury Regulations, the "latest possible maturity date" of each
regular interest in the Lower REMIC and Upper REMIC would be reduced to zero is
the Payment Date occurring in November 2027.
(m) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Estate, the Issuer,
the Bond Administrator, and the Master Servicers for any taxes and costs
including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees imposed on or
incurred by the Trust Estate, the Issuer or the Master Servicers, as a result
of a breach of the Trustee's covenants set forth in Section 18 hereof provided
that the Trustee shall not indemnify the Bond Administrator for any taxes or
costs arising out of the Bond Administrator's breach of its duties under
Section 18(c) hereof.
(n) The Lower Tier Interests shall be issued as non-certificated
interests. The Trustee shall be the sole holder of the Lower Tier Interests,
which shall not be transferable under any circumstances. The Class RL Bonds
shall be issued in fully registered certificated form and shall be executed and
authenticated as provided herein. Principal of and interest on the Lower Tier
Interests shall be allocated to the Corresponding Classes of Bonds in the
manner set forth in the following table.

Section 19. Form of Series 1997-2 Bonds; Matters Relating to Book Entry
Bonds.
(a) The Series 1997-2 Bonds shall be in the respective forms
attached hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-8. If the Series 1997-2 Bonds are
listed on any stock exchange at any time after the Closing Date, then the
Issuer shall, if required as a condition to such listing, prepare and deliver
to the Trustee Series 1997-2 Bonds in substantially the same form as the Series
1997-2 Bonds issued on the Closing Date, but with such other additional
features and such modifications, if any, as shall be deemed by the Issuer to be
necessary or appropriate in order to comply with the requirements of such stock
exchange for the listing of the Series 1997-2 Bonds on such exchange. Series
1997-2 Bonds in the form issued on the Closing Date shall thereafter be
exchangeable for Series 1997-2 Bonds in such revised form to the same extent as
temporary Bonds are exchangeable for definitive Bonds pursuant to Section 2.6
of the Indenture. The Issuer shall also include in the Series 1997-2 Bonds of
any Class any information required to be set forth therein pursuant to the Code
and applicable regulations thereunder.
(b) Each Class of Book Entry Bonds will be issued in the form of a
single typewritten bond certificate (each, a "DTC Certificate") to be delivered
to the Clearing Agency by the Issuer substantially in the respective forms for
each such Class of Bonds attached as exhibits hereto. The DTC Certificate for
each such Class of Bonds shall be initially registered on the Bond Register in
the name of the nominee of such Clearing Agency and no Beneficial Owner will
receive a certificate representing its interests in any Class of Book Entry
Bonds except in the event that the Trustee issues Definitive Bonds, as provided
in Section 2.14 of the Indenture. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, while each
Class of the Book Entry Bonds remains outstanding and such Clearing Agency
remains the Holder, it will agree to make book-entry transfers among the
Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of,
and interest on, the Book Entry Bonds until and unless the Trustee
authenticates and delivers Definitive Bonds to the Beneficial Owners of the
Book Entry Bonds or their nominees, as described in Section 2.14 of the
Indenture.
(c) Prior to Book Entry Termination, each Class of Book Entry
Bonds will remain registered in the name of the Clearing Agency or its nominee
and at all times: (i) registration of the Book Entry Bonds may not be
transferred by the Trustee or the Bond Registrar except to another
-51-
<PAGE> 55
Clearing Agency; (ii) the Clearing Agency shall maintain book entry records
with respect to the Beneficial Owners and with respect to ownership and
transfers of such Book Entry Bonds; (iii) ownership and transfers of
registration of the Book Entry Bonds on the books of the Clearing Agency shall
be governed by applicable rules established by the Clearing Agency; (iv) the
Clearing Agency may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses
from its Clearing Agency Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the
Clearing Agency, Clearing Agency Participants and indirect participating firms
as representatives of the Beneficial owners of the Book Entry Bonds for
purposes of exercising the rights of holders under the Indenture, 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 Beneficial Owners; and
(vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Clearing Agency with respect to its Clearing
Agency Participants and furnished by the Clearing Agency Participants with
respect to indirect participating firms and their direct or indirect Beneficial
Owners.
Section 20. The Bond Administrator and the Trustee.
The Bond Administrator, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, will provide the Certificate Trustee who will provide the Trustee
with certain information concerning the Mortgage Loans underlying the
Conventional Certificates. The Trustee shall not be required to recompute,
verify or recalculate the information supplied to it by the Issuer or the Bond
Administrator and may conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying on
the accuracy of all such information in performing its duties and
responsibilities hereunder.

maturity date of certain indebtedness owing by the Issuer to it in the
Trustee's commercial capacity, the property and funds physically held by the
Trustee as such, any release or substitution of property subject to the lien of

materially affects the Series 1997-2 Bonds and which has not been previously
reported.
(b) Any references in the Indenture to "the Trust Estate securing

hereby deemed to refer to the Holders of the Class RU and Class RL Bonds with
respect to the related Series REMIC.
(d) For purposes of clause (y) of the first paragraph of Section
4.1 of the Indenture, the final distribution of assets in each REMIC after all
Bonds have received all required principal and interest payments shall be made
as follows: (i) in the case of an optional redemption pursuant to Section 16 of
this Series 1997-2 Supplement with respect to the Lower REMIC, to the purchaser

(g) For purposes of Section 8.2(d) of the Indenture, assets
released from the Indenture pursuant to such Section and payable to the
Residual Interest shall be paid to the Class RU and Class RL Bonds to the
extent such assets remain in the Upper REMIC or Lower REMIC, respectively.
(h) Section 1.1 of the Indenture is hereby amended to restate
subsection (x) of the definition of "Eligible Investments" as follows:
(x) any other demand, money market or time deposit

Rating Agencies as confirmed in writing by each such Rating Agency.
(i) The Indenture as modified and supplemented by this Series
1997-2 Supplement with respect to the Series 1997-2 Bonds (but which
modification and supplement shall not apply to any other Series of Bonds unless
otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement) is in all respects
ratified and confirmed, and the Indenture as so modified and supplemented by
this Series 1997-2 Supplement shall be read, taken and construed as one and the
same instrument.
(j) Section 2.15(b) of the Indenture shall not apply to transfers
of the Class IA-1, Class B-4, Class B-5 or Class B-6 Bonds. The following
provisions shall apply to such Bonds in lieu of Section 2.15(b) of the
Indenture:
(1) Except as provided in Section 21(j)(2), no transfer,
sale, pledge or other disposition of a Class B-4 Security, Class B-5
Security, or Class B-6 Security, shall be made unless such transfer,
sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Bonds Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and any
applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said
Act and laws. In the event that a transfer of a Class B-4 Security,
Class B-5 Security, or Class B-6 Security is to be made under this
Section 21(j)(1), (i) except with respect to sales by the Initial
Purchaser, the Issuer may direct the Trustee to require an Opinion of
Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Issuer that such transfer shall be made pursuant to an
exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor,
from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the
Issuer or the Master Servicer, provided that such Opinion of
-53-
<PAGE> 57
Counsel will not be required in connection with the initial transfer
of any such Security by the Issuer or any affiliate thereof, to an
affiliate of the Issuer or the Initial Purchaser and (ii) the Trustee
shall require the transferee to execute a representation letter,
substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 hereto, and the Trustee shall
require the transferor to execute a representation letter,
substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto, each acceptable to
and in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee
certifying to the Issuer and the Trustee the facts surrounding such
transfer, which representation letters shall not be an expense of the
Trustee, the Issuer or the Master Servicer; provided however that such
representation letters will not be required in connection with any
transfer of any such Security by the Issuer to an affiliate of the
Issuer, or the Initial Purchaser and the Trustee shall be entitled to
conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of
the Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Issuer of the
status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Issuer. Any such
Bondholder (other than the Initial Purchaser) desiring to effect
such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee,
the Issuer, the Loan Seller and the Master Servicer against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such applicable federal and state laws.
(2) Transfers of Class IA-1, Class B-4, Class B-5 and
Class B-6 Bonds may be made in accordance with this Section 21(j)(2)
if the prospective transferee of a Security provides the Trustee and
the Issuer with an investment letter substantially in the form of
Exhibit C-3 attached hereto, which investment letter shall not be an
expense of the Trustee or the Issuer, and which investment letter
states that, among other things, such transferee is a "qualified
institutional buyer" as defined under Rule 144A. Such transfers shall
be deemed to have complied with the requirements of Section 21(j)(1)
hereof; provided, however, that no Transfer of any of the Bonds may be
made pursuant to this Section 2(c) by the Issuer. Any such Bondholder
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee and the Issuer against any liability that may
result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such applicable federal and state laws.
(k) The references to Exhibit D in the Indenture shall instead be to
Exhibit C-1 or Exhibit C-3.
(1) Any references in the Indenture to "Administrator" are hereby
deemed to refer to the applicable Master Servicer under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. Any references to the "Pooling and Administration
Agreement" in the Indenture are hereby deemed to refer to the "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement." The following definitions in Section 1.1 of the Indenture
shall not be applicable to the Series 1997-2 Bonds: "Bankruptcy Coverage
Termination Date", "Bankruptcy Loss", "Bankruptcy Loss Amount", "Business Day",

Indenture, the Bond Administrator shall determine the interest applicable to
each Class
-54-
<PAGE> 58
of Variable Rate Bonds instead of the Trustee. In Section 3.3 of the Indenture
the last sentence shall be amended to read as follows "The Trustee may adopt
and employ, at the expense of the Bond Administrator, any reasonable means of
notification of such repayment (including but not limited to, mailing notice of
such repayment to Holders whose Bonds have been called but have not been
surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in moneys due and
payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Trustee or any
Agent, at the last address of record for each such Holder)." Section 6.7 of
the Indenture shall be completely restated as follows "The Trustee shall be
compensated and reimbursed for its expenses pursuant to the provisions of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement." Section 8.9 of the Indenture shall not
apply.

ARTICLE II
CONVEYANCE OF THE TRUST FUNDS;
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 2.01. Conveyance of the Trust Funds. Two trusts (each, a
"Trust") of which the Certificate Trustee is the trustee are hereby created
under the laws of the State of New York for the benefit of the Holders of the
related Series of Certificates. The purpose of each Trust is to hold the
related Trust Fund and provide for the issuance, execution and delivery of the
related Certificates. The assets of each Trust shall consist of the related
Trust Fund. Each Trust shall be irrevocable.
The assets of each Trust shall remain in the custody of the
Certificate Trustee, on behalf of the related Trust, and shall be kept in the
related Trust. Moneys to the credit of each Trust shall be held by the
Certificate Trustee and invested as provided herein. All assets received and
held in each Trust will not be subject to any right, charge, security interest,
lien or claim of any kind in favor of U.S. Bank National Association in its own
right, or any Person claiming through it. The Certificate Trustee, on behalf
of each Trust, shall not have the power or authority to transfer, assign,
hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of the assets of such Trust to
any Person, except as permitted herein. No creditor of a beneficiary of a
Trust, of the Certificate Trustee, of a Master Servicer, or of the Company
shall have any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal
26
<PAGE> 32
or equitable remedies with respect to, the property of a Trust, except in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, the Company does
hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the
Certificate Trustee, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the

principal and interest due after the Cut-Off Date and received by the Company
with respect to the Mortgage Loans at any time, and all Principal Prepayments
received by the Company after the Cut-Off Date (such transfer and assignment by
the Company to be referred to herein as the "Conveyance"). The Certificate
Trustee hereby accepts the Trusts created hereby and accepts delivery of the
Trust Funds on behalf of the related Trusts and acknowledges that it holds the
Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates. It is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the Conveyance of the Trust Funds to
the Certificate Trustee by the Company as provided in this Section 2.01 be, and
be construed as, an absolute sale of the Trust Funds. It is, further, not the
intention of the parties that such Conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Trust
Funds by the Company to the Certificate Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Company. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the
intent of the parties, the Trust Funds are held to be the property of the
Company, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create
a security interest in the Trust Funds, then
(a) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security
agreement;
(b) the Conveyance provided for in this Section 2.01
shall be deemed to be a grant by the Company to the Certificate
Trustee of a security interest in all of the Company's right, title,
and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to:
(I) All accounts, contract rights, general
intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money,
deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, goods, letters of
credit, advices of credit and uncertificated securities
consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the property

Account for P&I and the Custodial Account for Reserves,

investment of funds therein (including any accrued discount
realized on liquidation of any investment purchased at a
discount);
(II) All accounts, contract rights, general
intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money,
deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, goods, letters of
credit, advices of credit, uncertificated securities, and
other rights arising from or by virtue of the disposition of,
or collections with respect to, or insurance proceeds payable
with respect to, or claims against other persons with respect
to, all
27
<PAGE> 33
or any part of the collateral described in (I) above
(including any accrued discount realized on liquidation of any
investment purchased at a discount); and
(III) All cash and non-cash proceeds of the
collateral described in (I) and (II) above;
(c) the possession by the Certificate Trustee of the
Mortgage Notes, the Mortgages, the Security Agreements, Assignments of
Proprietary Lease, Cooperative Stock Certificates, Cooperative Leases
and such other goods, letters of credit, advices of credit,
instruments, money, documents, chattel paper or certificated
securities shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured party," or
possession by a purchaser or a person designated by him or her, for
purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the Uniform
Commercial Code as in force in the relevant jurisdiction; and
(d) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such
property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments,
receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or
agents (as applicable) of the Certificate Trustee for the purpose of
perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
The Company and the Certificate Trustee at the direction of the
Company shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions
as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a
security interest in the Trust Funds, such security interest would be deemed to
be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and
will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. In connection
herewith, the Certificate Trustee shall have all of the rights and remedies of
a secured party and creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in
the relevant jurisdiction.
In connection with the sale, transfer and assignment referred to in
the first paragraph of this Section 2.01, the Company, concurrently with the
execution and delivery hereof, does deliver to, and deposit with, or cause to
be delivered to and deposited with, the Certificate Trustee or Custodian the
Mortgage Files.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, the Company shall
cause assignments of the Mortgage Loans to the Certificate Trustee to be
recorded or filed in the applicable jurisdictions, and the Company shall cause
to be filed the Form UCC-3 assignment and Form UCC-1 financing statement
referred to in clause (Y)(vii) and (ix), respectively, of the definition of
"Mortgage File." In connection with its servicing of Cooperative Loans, the
Master Servicer will use its best efforts to file timely continuation
statements, if necessary, with regard to each financing statement and
assignment relating to Cooperative Loans.
In instances where the original recorded Mortgage or any intervening
assignment thereof (recorded or in recordable form) cannot be delivered by the
Company to the Certificate Trustee prior to or concurrently with the execution
and delivery hereof (due to a delay on the part of the recording office), the
Company may, in lieu of delivering such original documents, cause the
applicable Loan
28
<PAGE> 34
Seller to deliver to the Certificate Trustee a fully legible reproduction of
the original Mortgage or intervening assignment provided that the related
Lender or originator certifies on the face of such reproduction(s) or copy as
follows: "Certified true and correct copy of original which has been
transmitted for recordation." For purposes hereof, transmitted for recordation
means having been mailed or otherwise delivered for recordation to the
appropriate authority. In all such instances, the Company shall cause the
applicable Loan Seller to transmit the original recorded Mortgage and any
intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon (or a copy of such
original Mortgage or intervening assignment certified by the applicable
recording office) (collectively, "Recording Documents") to the Certificate
Trustee within 270 days after the execution and delivery hereof. In instances
where, due to a delay on the part of the recording office where any such
Recording Documents have been delivered for recordation, the Recording
Documents cannot be delivered to the Certificate Trustee within 270 days after
execution and delivery hereof, the Company shall cause the related Loan Seller
to deliver to the Certificate Trustee within such time period a certificate (a
"Loan Seller Officer's Certificate") signed by the Chairman of the Board,
President, any Vice President or Treasurer of such Loan Seller stating the date
by which such Loan Seller expects to receive such Recording Documents from the
applicable recording office. In the event that Recording Documents have still
not been received by such Loan Seller and delivered to the Certificate Trustee
by the date specified in its previous Loan Seller Officer's Certificate
delivered to the Certificate Trustee, the Company shall cause the related Loan
Seller to deliver to the Certificate Trustee by such date an additional Loan
Seller Officer's Certificate stating a revised date by which such Loan Seller
expects to receive the applicable Recording Documents. This procedure shall be
repeated until the Recording Documents have been received by the related Loan
Seller and delivered to the Certificate Trustee.
In instances where, due to a delay on the part of the title insurer, a
copy of the title insurance policy for a particular Mortgage Loan cannot be
delivered to the Certificate Trustee prior to or concurrently with the
execution and delivery hereof, the Company shall cause the related Loan Seller
to provide a copy of such title insurance policy to the Certificate Trustee
within 90 days after such Loan Seller's receipt of the Recording Documents
necessary to issue such title insurance policy. In addition, the Company shall,
subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence, cause the
related Loan Seller to provide to the Certificate Trustee upon request therefor
a duplicate title insurance policy for any Mortgage Loan.
For Mortgage Loans for which the Company has received a Payoff after
the Cut-Off Date and prior to the date of execution and delivery hereof, the
Company, in lieu of delivering the above documents, herewith delivers to the
Certificate Trustee a certification of a Servicing Officer of the nature set
forth in Section 3.10.
The Certificate Trustee is authorized, with the Master Servicer's
consent, to appoint any bank or trust company approved by and unaffiliated with
the Company or any Master Servicer as Custodian of the documents or instruments
referred to above in this Section 2.01, and to enter into a Custodial Agreement
for such purpose, provided, however, that the Certificate Trustee shall be and
remain liable for the acts of any such Custodian only to the extent that it is
responsible for its own acts hereunder.
29
<PAGE> 35
The Certificate Trustee and the Master Servicers shall each promptly
provide the Company with such information as the Company may from time to time
request for the purpose of enabling the Company to prepare tax returns.
In the event that a Mortgage Loan is discovered to have a defect
which, had such defect been discovered before the startup day, would have
prevented the Mortgage Loan from being a "qualified mortgage" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, and the applicable Loan Seller does
not repurchase such Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such date, the related
Master Servicer, on behalf of the Certificate Trustee, shall within 90 days of
the date such defect is discovered sell such Mortgage Loan at such price as
such Master Servicer in its sole discretion, determines to be the greatest
price that will result in the purchase thereof within 90 days of such date,
unless such Master Servicer delivers to the Certificate Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that continuing to hold such Mortgage Loan will not
adversely affect the status of the electing portion of the Trust Estate as a
REMIC for federal income tax purposes.
Section 2.02. Acceptance by Certificate Trustee. The Certificate
Trustee acknowledges receipt (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to a
Custodial Agreement, receipt by the Custodian thereunder) of the documents (or
certified copies thereof as specified in Section 2.01) referred to in Section
2.01 above, but without having made the review required to be made within 45
days pursuant to this Section 2.02, and declares that as of the Closing Date it
holds and will hold such documents and the other documents constituting a part
of the Mortgage Files delivered to it, and the Trust Funds, as Certificate
Trustee in trust, upon the Trusts herein set forth, for the use and benefit of
the Holders from time to time of the Certificates. The Certificate Trustee
agrees, for the benefit of the Holders of the Certificates, to review or cause
the Custodian to review each Mortgage File within 45 days after the Closing
Date and deliver to the Company a certification in the form attached as Exhibit
G hereto, to the effect that all documents required (in the case of instruments
described in clauses (X)(vi) and (Y)(x) of the definition of "Mortgage File,"
known by the Certificate Trustee to be required) pursuant to the third
paragraph of Section 2.01 have been executed and received, and that such
documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the applicable Mortgage
Loan Schedule. In performing such review, the Certificate Trustee may rely upon
the purported genuineness and due execution of any such document, and on the
purported genuineness of any signature thereon. The Certificate Trustee shall
not be required to make any independent examination of any documents contained
in each Mortgage File beyond the review specifically required herein. The
Certificate Trustee makes no representations as to: (i) the validity, legality,
enforceability or genuineness of any of the Mortgage Loans identified on a
Mortgage Loan Schedule, or (ii) the collectability, insurability, effectiveness
or suitability of any Mortgage Loan. If the Certificate Trustee finds any
document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File not to have been
executed or received, or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Certificate Trustee shall promptly so
notify the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that, if any such
defect cannot be corrected or cured, the Company shall, not later than 60 days
after the Certificate Trustee's notice to it respecting such defect, within the
three-month period commencing on the Closing Date (or within the two-year
period commencing on the Closing Date if the related Mortgage Loan is a
"defective obligation" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the
Code and Treasury Regulation Section
30
<PAGE> 36
1.860G-2(f)), either (i) cause the related Loan Seller to repurchase the
related Mortgage Loan from the Certificate Trustee at the Purchase Price, or
(ii) cause the related Loan Seller to substitute for any Mortgage Loan to which
such defect relates a different mortgage loan (a "Substitute Mortgage Loan")
which is a "qualified replacement mortgage" (as defined in the Code) and, (iii)
after such three-month or two-year period, as applicable, the Company shall
cause the related Loan Seller to repurchase the Mortgage Loan from the
Certificate Trustee at the Purchase Price, but only if the Mortgage Loan is in
default or default is, in the judgment of the Company, reasonably imminent. If
such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified
mortgage" (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the previous sentence,
a repurchase or substitution must occur within the sooner of (i) 90 days from
the date the defect was discovered or (ii) in the case of a substitution, two
years from the Closing Date.
Such Substitute Mortgage Loan shall mature no later than, and not more
than two years earlier than, have a principal balance and Loan-to-Value Ratio
equal to or less than, and have a Net Mortgage Rate on the date of substitution
equal to or no more than 1% greater than the Mortgage Loan being substituted
for. If the aggregate of the principal balances of the Substitute Mortgage
Loans substituted for a Mortgage Loan is less than the Scheduled Principal
Balance of such Mortgage Loan, the Company shall pay the difference in cash to
the Certificate Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account, and such
payment by the Company shall be treated in the same manner as proceeds of the
repurchase by the Company of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02.
Furthermore, such Substitute Mortgage Loan shall otherwise have such
characteristics so that the representations and warranties of the Company set
forth in Section 2.03 hereof would not have been incorrect had such Substitute
Mortgage Loan originally been a Mortgage Loan. A Substitute Mortgage Loan may
be substituted for a defective Mortgage Loan whether or not such defective
Mortgage Loan is itself a Substitute Mortgage Loan.
The Company shall cause the related Loan Seller to deposit the
Purchase Price for each repurchased Mortgage Loan into the Certificate Account
and, upon receipt by the Certificate Trustee of written notification of such
deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Certificate Trustee shall release to
the related Loan Seller the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as
shall be necessary to vest in such Loan Seller title to any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto. The obligation of the Company to cause the related
Loan Seller to repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which such a
defect in a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole remedy
respecting such defect available to the Certificateholders or the Certificate
Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
Section 2.03. Representations and Warranties of Loan Sellers. Each
of the Loan Sellers has made representations and warranties with respect to the
related Mortgage Loans under the related Loan Sale Agreements and the rights of
the Company under such Loan Sale Agreements have been assigned to the
Certificate Trustee hereunder as part of the applicable Trust Funds. Upon the
discovery by any of the Company, a Master Servicer, the Bond Administrator, the
Certificate Trustee or the Custodian of a breach of any such representation or
warranty that materially and adversely affects the value of the related
Mortgage Loans or the interests of the Indenture Trustee, as sole
Certificateholder, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice thereof to the other parties hereto. Within 90 days of its discovery or
its receipt of notice of such breach, the Company shall cause the applicable
Loan Seller to repurchase, subject to the limitations set forth in the
definition of "Purchase Price," or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan or
Mortgage Loans or any property acquired in respect thereof from the Trustee,
unless it has cured such breach in all material respects. After the end of the
three-month period beginning on the "start-up day," any such substitution shall
be made only if the related Loan Seller provides to the Certificate Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Trustee that each
Substitute Mortgage Loan will be a "qualified replacement mortgage" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(4) of the Code. Such substitution shall be made in
the manner and within the time limits set forth in Section 2.02. Any such
repurchase by the related Loan Seller shall be accomplished in the manner and
at the Purchase Price, if applicable, but shall not be subject to the time
limits, set forth in Section 2.02. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of the Company to cause a Loan Seller to provide such Substitute
Mortgage Loan or to make such repurchase of any affected Mortgage Loan or
Mortgage Loans or property acquired in respect thereof as to which a breach has
occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such
breach available to the Indenture Trustee, as sole Certificateholder.
Section 2.04. Authentication of the Certificates. The Certificate
Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the property
constituting the Trust Funds, but without having made the review required to be
made within 45 days pursuant to Section 2.02, and, as of the Closing Date,
shall cause to be authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the
Company, in exchange for the property constituting the Trust Funds, the
Certificates, each evidencing the entire beneficial ownership interest in the
related Trust Fund.

Section 3.01. PNC and IndyMac to Act as Master Servicers. PNC
shall act as Master Servicer to service and administer the PNC Mortgage Loans
and the PHH Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Certificate Trustee and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders in accordance with the terms hereof and in
the same manner in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence
with which, it services and administers similar mortgage loans for other
portfolios, and shall have full power and authority to do or cause to be done
any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which
it may deem necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, the power
and authority to bring actions and defend the Trust Funds on behalf of the
Certificate Trustee in order to enforce the terms of the Mortgage Notes.
IndyMac shall act as Master Servicer to service and administer the IndyMac
Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Certificate Trustee and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders in accordance with the terms hereof and in the same manner
in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which, it
services and administers similar mortgage loans for other portfolios, and shall
have full power and authority to do or cause to be done any and all things in
connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary
or desirable, including, without limitation, the power and authority to bring
actions and defend the Trust Funds on behalf of the Certificate Trustee in
order to enforce the terms of the Mortgage Notes. Each Master Servicer may
perform its respective master servicing responsibilities through agents or
independent contractors, but shall not thereby be released from any of its
responsibilities hereunder and each Master Servicer shall diligently pursue all
of its rights against such agents or independent contractors.
In connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, each Master
Servicer and any affiliate thereof (i) may perform services such as appraisals,
default management and brokerage services that are not customarily provided by
servicers of mortgage loans and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation
therefor in accordance with Section 3.11, and (ii) may, at its own discretion
and on behalf of the Certificate Trustee, may obtain credit information in the
form of a "credit score" from a credit repository.
Each Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect or cause
to be collected all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the
related Mortgage Loans and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be
consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any Primary
Insurance Policy, any FHA insurance policy or VA guaranty, any hazard insurance
policy, and federal flood insurance, cause to be followed such collection
procedures as are followed with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the
related Mortgage Loans and held in portfolios of responsible mortgage lenders
in the local areas where each applicable Mortgaged Property is located. Each
Master Servicer shall enforce "due-on-sale" clauses with respect to the related
Mortgage Loans, to the extent permitted by law, subject to the provisions set
forth in Section 3.08.
Consistent with the foregoing, each Master Servicer may, in its
discretion, (i) waive or cause to be waived any assumption fee or late payment
charge in connection with the prepayment of any related Mortgage Loan and (ii)
only upon determining that the coverage of any applicable insurance
32
<PAGE> 38
policy or guaranty related to a related Mortgage Loan will not be materially
adversely affected, arrange a schedule, running for no more than 180 days after
the first delinquent Due Date, for payment of any delinquent installment on any
Mortgage Note or for the liquidation of delinquent items. Each Master Servicer
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase any related
delinquent Mortgage Loan 90 days after the first delinquent Due Date for an
amount equal to its Purchase Price; provided, however, that the aggregate
Purchase Price of Mortgage Loans so repurchased shall not exceed one-half of
one percent (0.50%) of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of all related
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date.
Each Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Certificate Trustee to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and
delivered on behalf of the Certificateholders any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge or
modification, assignments of Mortgages and endorsements of Mortgage Notes in
connection with refinancings (in jurisdictions where such assignments are the
customary and usual standard of practice of mortgage lenders) and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the related Mortgage Loans and with
respect to the related Mortgaged Properties. The Certificate Trustee shall
furnish each Master Servicer, at such Master Servicer's direction, with any
powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable such
Master Servicer to carry out its supervisory, servicing and administrative
duties under this Agreement.
Each Master Servicer and each Servicer shall obtain (to the extent
generally commercially available from time to time) and maintain fidelity bond
and errors and omissions coverage acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC with respect to
their obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Selling and Servicing
Contract, respectively. Each Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer under
its supervision to establish escrow accounts for, or pay when due (by means of
an advance), any tax liens in connection with the related Mortgaged Properties
that are not paid by the related Mortgagors when due to the extent that any
such payment would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance when made.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Master Servicer shall permit any modification
with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would both constitute a sale or exchange
of such Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code (including
any proposed, temporary or final regulations promulgated thereunder) (other
than in connection with a proposed conveyance or assumption of such Mortgage
Loan that is treated as a Principal Prepayment or in a default situation).
With respect to each related Mortgage Loan, the related Master Servicer shall
be entitled to approve a request from a Mortgagor for a partial release of the
related Mortgaged Property, the granting of an easement thereon in favor of
another Person, any alteration or demolition of the related Mortgaged Property
or other similar matters if it has determined, exercising its good faith
business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the
related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full
collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected thereby.
Section 3.02. Custodial Accounts. Each Master Servicer shall cause
to be established and maintained for each Servicer under such Master Servicer's
supervision one or more Custodial Accounts for P&I, Buydown Fund Accounts (if
any) and special Custodial Account for Reserves and shall cause to be deposited
therein daily the amounts related to the related Mortgage Loans required by the
applicable Selling and Servicing Contracts to be so deposited. Proceeds
received with respect
33
<PAGE> 39
to individual related Mortgage Loans from any title, hazard, or FHA insurance
policy, VA guaranty, Primary Insurance Policy, or other insurance policy
covering such Mortgage Loans shall be deposited first in the related Custodial
Account for Reserves if required for the restoration or repair of the related
Mortgaged Property. Proceeds from such insurance policies not so deposited in
the related Custodial Account for Reserves shall be deposited in the related
Custodial Account for P&I, and shall be applied to the balances of the related
Mortgage Loans as payments of interest and principal.
Each Master Servicer is hereby authorized to make withdrawals from and
to draft the related Custodial Accounts for P&I and the related Custodial
Accounts for Reserves for the purposes required or permitted by this Agreement.
Each Custodial Account for P&I and each Custodial Account for Reserves shall
bear a designation clearly showing the respective interests of the applicable
Servicer, as trustee, and of the related Master Servicer, in substantially one
of the following forms:
(a) With respect to each Custodial Account for P&I: (i)
[Servicer's Name], as agent, trustee and/or bailee of principal and
interest custodial account for [PNC Mortgage Securities
Corp.][IndyMac, Inc.], its successors and assigns, and for various
owners of interests in [PNC Mortgage Securities Corp.][IndyMac]
mortgage-backed pools or (ii) [Servicer's Name] in trust for [PNC
Mortgage Securities Corp.][IndyMac];
(b) With respect to the Custodial Account for Reserves:
(i) [Servicer's Name], as agent, trustee and/or bailee of taxes and
insurance custodial account for [PNC Mortgage Securities
Corp.][IndyMac, Inc.], its successors and assigns, for various owners
of interests in [PNC Mortgage Securities Corp.][IndyMac]
mortgage-backed pools and for various Mortgagors or (ii) [Servicer's
Name] in trust for [PNC Mortgage Securities Corp.][IndyMac] and
various Mortgagors.
Each Master Servicer hereby undertakes to assure remittance to the
Certificateholders of all amounts relating to the related Mortgage Loans that
have been collected by any Servicer under its supervision and are due to the
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Agreement.
Section 3.03. The Investment Account; Eligible Investments.
(a) Not later than the Withdrawal Date, each Master Servicer
shall withdraw or direct the withdrawal of funds in the related Custodial
Accounts for P&I, for deposit in the Certificate Account or Investment Account,
at such Master Servicer's option, in an amount representing:
(i) Scheduled installments of principal and
interest on the related Mortgage Loans received or advanced by the
applicable Servicers which were due on the Due Date prior to such
Withdrawal Date, net of Servicing Fees due the applicable Servicers
and less any amounts to be withdrawn later by the applicable Servicers
from the applicable Buydown Fund Accounts;
34
<PAGE> 40
(ii) Payoffs and the proceeds of other types of
liquidations of related Mortgage Loans received by the applicable
Servicers for such Mortgage Loans during the applicable period, with
interest to the date of Payoff or liquidation less any amounts to be
withdrawn later by the applicable Servicers from the applicable
Buydown Fund Accounts; and
(iii) Curtailments received by the applicable
Servicers in the Prior Period.
In addition, each Master Servicer may, at its option, request the Bond
Administrator to withdraw and deposit in such Master Servicer's Investment
Account, any funds previously deposited in the Certificate Account by such
Master Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loans to be distributed on
a Determination Date following the next Distribution Date.
At its option, each Master Servicer may invest funds withdrawn from
the Custodial Accounts for P&I, as well as any Buydown Funds, Insurance
Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds previously received by such Master Servicer
(including amounts paid by any Loan Seller in respect of the Purchase
Obligation or the substitution obligations set forth in Section 2.02 or in
connection with the exercise of the option to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to Section 9.01) for its own account and at its own risk, during any period
prior to their deposit in the Certificate Account. Such funds, as well as any
funds which were withdrawn from the related Custodial Accounts for P&I on or
before the Withdrawal Date, but not yet deposited into the Certificate Account,
shall immediately be deposited by the related Master Servicer with the
Investment Depository in an Investment Account in the name of such Master
Servicer and the Certificate Trustee for investment only as set forth in this
Section 3.03. The related Master Servicer shall bear any and all losses
incurred on any investments made with such funds and shall be entitled to
retain all gains realized on such investments as additional servicing
compensation. Not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date,
each Master Servicer shall deposit such funds, net of any gains (except Payoff
Earnings) earned thereon, in the Certificate Account.
(b) Funds held in the Investment Account shall be invested in (i)
one or more Eligible Investments which shall in no event mature later than the
Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date (except if such Eligible
Investments are obligations of the Certificate Trustee, such Eligible
Investments may mature on the Distribution Date), or (ii) such other
instruments as shall be required to maintain the Ratings.
Section 3.04. The Certificate Account.
(a) Not later than the Business Day prior to the related
Distribution Date, each Master Servicer shall direct the Investment Depository
to deposit the amounts previously deposited by such Master Servicer into its
Investment Account (which may include a deposit of Eligible Investments), into
the Certificate Account. In addition, not later than the Business Day prior to
the Distribution Date, each Master Servicer shall deposit into the Certificate
Account any Monthly P&I Advances or other payments required to be made by such
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.03 of this Agreement and any Insurance
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds (including amounts paid by a Loan Seller in
respect of any Purchase Obligation or in connection with the exercise of its
option to
35
<PAGE> 41
terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01) not previously deposited in
the related Custodial Accounts for P&I or the Investment Account.
(b) Funds held in the Certificate Account shall be invested at the
direction of the Bond Administrator in (i) one or more Eligible Investments
which shall in no event mature later than 9:00 a.m. New York time on the
related Distribution Date, or (ii) such other instruments as shall be required
to maintain the Ratings. The Bond Administrator shall be entitled to receive
any gains earned on such Eligible Investments and shall bear any losses
suffered in connection therewith.
Section 3.05. Permitted Withdrawals from the Investment Account and
Custodial Accounts for P&I and of Buydown Funds from the Buydown Fund Accounts.
(a) Each Master Servicer is authorized to make withdrawals, from
time to time, from its Investment Account or the related Custodial Accounts for
P&I, as applicable, of amounts deposited therein in respect of the
Certificates, as follows:
(i) To reimburse itself or the applicable
Servicer for Monthly P&I Advances made with respect to related
Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 4.03 or a Selling and Servicing
Contract, such Master Servicer's right to reimburse itself or such
Servicer pursuant to this paragraph (i) being limited to amounts
received on particular Mortgage Loans (including, for this purpose,
Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds) which represent late
recoveries of principal and/or interest respecting which any such
Monthly P&I Advance was made;
(ii) To reimburse itself or the applicable
Servicer for amounts expended by or for the account of the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 or amounts expended by such Servicer
pursuant to the Selling and Servicing Contracts in connection with the
restoration of a Mortgaged Property which has been damaged by an
Uninsured Cause or in connection with the liquidation of a related
Mortgage Loan;
(iii) To pay to itself, with respect to the related
Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicing Fee (net of Compensating Interest
which, in the case of the PNC Mortgage Loans and the PHH Mortgage
Loans, is reduced by Payoff Earnings and Payoff Interest) as to which
no prior withdrawals from funds deposited by such Master Servicer have
been made;
(iv) To reimburse itself or the applicable
Servicer for advances made with respect to related Mortgage Loans
which such Master Servicer has determined to be Nonrecoverable
Advances;
(v) To deposit amounts in such Master Servicer's
Investment Account representing amounts requested from the Bond
Administrator to be withdrawn from the Certificate Account which are
not required to be on deposit therein until the Business Day preceding
the Distribution Date following the next Distribution Date; and
36
<PAGE> 42
after making or providing for the above withdrawals
(vi) To clear and terminate the Investment Account
in connection with the termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 9.01.
Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to paragraphs (i) and
(ii), the related Master Servicer's entitlement thereto is limited to
collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan, such Master
Servicer or the applicable Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting
for each Mortgage Loan, for the purpose of justifying any such withdrawals.
(b) Each Master Servicer (or the applicable Servicer, if such
Servicer holds and maintains a Buydown Fund Account) is authorized to make
withdrawals, from time to time, from the Buydown Fund Account or Custodial
Account for P&I of the following amounts of Buydown Funds with respect to
related Mortgage Loans:
(i) to deposit each month in the Investment
Account established by such Master Servicer the amount necessary to
supplement payments received on Buydown Loans;
(ii) in the event of a Payoff of any Mortgage Loan
having a related Buydown Fund, to apply amounts remaining in Buydown
Fund Accounts to reduce the required amount of such principal Payoff
(or, if the Mortgagor has made a Payoff, to refund such remaining
Buydown Fund amounts to the Person entitled thereto);
(iii) in the event of foreclosure or liquidation of
any Mortgage Loan having a Buydown Fund, to deposit remaining Buydown
Fund amounts in the Investment Account as Liquidation Proceeds; and
(iv) to clear and terminate the portion of any
account representing Buydown Funds in connection with the termination
of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
(c) The Certificate Trustee is authorized to make withdrawals from
time to time from the Certificate Account to reimburse itself for advances it
has made pursuant to Section 7.01(a) hereof that it has determined to be
Nonrecoverable Advances.
(d) The Certificate Trustee is authorized to make withdrawals from
time to time from the Certificate Account to pay to the Bond Administrator the
Bond Administrator Fee, to pay to the Bond Administrator reinvestment earnings
deposited or earned in the Certificate Account (net of reinvestment losses) to
which it is entitled, and to reimburse the Bond Administrator for expenses
incurred by and reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 6.03.
Section 3.06. Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policies;
Collections Thereunder. Each Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer shall
use their best reasonable efforts to keep in full force and effect each Primary
Insurance Policy required with respect to a related Mortgage Loan, in
37
<PAGE> 43
the manner set forth in the applicable Selling and Servicing Contract, until
such Primary Insurance Policy is no longer required. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, neither Master Servicer shall have any obligation to maintain such
Primary Insurance Policy for a Mortgage Loan for which the outstanding
principal balance thereof at any time subsequent to origination was 80% or less
of the value of the related Mortgaged Property (as determined by a current
appraisal).
Unless required by applicable law, neither the Master Servicer nor any
Servicer shall cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy in
effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Certificates that is required
to be kept in force hereunder; provided, however, that neither the Master
Servicer nor any Servicer shall advance funds for the payment of any premium
due under any Primary Insurance Policy if it shall determine that such an
advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Section 3.07. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. Each Master Servicer
shall cause to be maintained for each related Mortgage Loan (other than a
Cooperative Loan) fire insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is
not less than the original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, except in
cases approved by such Master Servicer in which such amount exceeds the value
of the improvements to the Mortgaged Property. Each Master Servicer shall also
require fire insurance with extended coverage in a comparable amount on
property acquired upon foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any
related Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan). Any amounts collected
under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or
repair of the related Mortgaged Property) shall be deposited into the related
Custodial Account for P&I, subject to withdrawal pursuant to the applicable
Selling and Servicing Contract and pursuant to Section 3.03 and Section 3.05.
Any unreimbursed costs incurred in maintaining any insurance described in this
Section 3.07 shall be recoverable as an advance by the related Master Servicer
from its Investment Account. Such insurance shall be with insurers approved by
the related Master Servicer and FNMA or FHLMC. Other additional insurance may
be required of a Mortgagor, in addition to that required pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance. Where any part of any improvement to the
Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property secured by a Cooperative
Loan) is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area and in a
community which participates in the National Flood Insurance Program at the
time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, the related Master Servicer
shall cause flood insurance to be provided. The hazard insurance coverage
required by this Section 3.07 may be met with blanket policies providing
protection equivalent to individual policies otherwise required. Each Master
Servicer or the applicable Servicer shall be responsible for paying any
deductible amount on any such blanket policy. Each Master Servicer agrees to
present, or cause to be presented, on behalf of and for the benefit of the
Certificate Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under the hazard insurance
policy respecting any related Mortgage Loan, and in this regard to take such
reasonable actions as shall be necessary to permit recovery under such policy.
Section 3.08. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements. When any Mortgaged Property is about to be conveyed by the
Mortgagor, the related Master Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of
such prospective conveyance and prior to the time of the consummation of such
conveyance, exercise on behalf of the Certificate Trustee the Certificate
38
<PAGE> 44
Trustee's rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan, to the
extent that such acceleration is permitted by the terms of the related Mortgage
Note, under any "due-on-sale" clause applicable thereto; provided, however,
that the related Master Servicer shall not exercise any such right if the
due-on-sale clause, in the reasonable belief of such Master Servicer, is not
enforceable under applicable law or if such exercise would result in
non-coverage of any resulting loss that would otherwise be covered under any
insurance policy. In the event the related Master Servicer is prohibited from
exercising such right, the related Master Servicer is authorized to take or
enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the Person to
whom a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to
which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited
by applicable state law or unless the Mortgage Note contains a provision
allowing a qualified borrower to assume the Mortgage Note, the Mortgagor
remains liable thereon; provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be
covered (if so covered before the related Master Servicer enters such
agreement) by any related Primary Insurance Policy. The related Master Servicer
is also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with
such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from
liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under
the Mortgage Note. No Master Servicer shall enter into any substitution or
assumption with respect to a related Mortgage Loan if such substitution or
assumption shall (i) both constitute a "significant modification" effecting an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under the Code (or Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder) and cause either the Upper REMIC or the
Lower REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or (ii)
cause the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions"
after the Startup Day under the REMIC Provisions. The related Master Servicer
shall notify the Certificate Trustee that any such substitution or assumption
agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Certificate Trustee the
original copy of such substitution or assumption agreement and other documents
and instruments constituting a part thereof. In connection with any such
assumption or substitution agreement, the terms of the related Mortgage Note
shall not be changed. Any fee collected by the applicable Servicer for entering
into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall be retained by
such Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this
Agreement, no Master Servicer shall be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a
Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which such Master Servicer
may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
Section 3.09. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. Each
Master Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert, or cause
to be foreclosed upon or comparably converted, the ownership of any Mortgaged
Property securing a related Mortgage Loan which comes into and continues in
default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection
of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.01. In lieu of such foreclosure
or other conversion, and taking into consideration the desirability of
maximizing net Liquidation Proceeds after taking into account the effect of
Insurance Proceeds upon Liquidation Proceeds, the related Master Servicer may,
to the extent consistent with prudent mortgage loan servicing practices, accept
a payment of less than the Scheduled Principal Balance of a delinquent Mortgage
Loan in full satisfaction of the indebtedness evidenced by the related Mortgage
Note and release the lien of the related Mortgage
39
<PAGE> 45
upon receipt of such payment. The related Master Servicer shall not foreclose
upon or otherwise comparably convert a Mortgaged Property if there is evidence
of toxic waste, other hazardous substances or other evidence of environmental
contamination thereon and such Master Servicer determines that it would be
imprudent to do so. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion,
the related Master Servicer shall cause to be followed such practices and
procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and
usual in general mortgage servicing activities. The foregoing is subject to the
provision that, in the case of damage to a Mortgaged Property from an Uninsured
Cause, the related Master Servicer shall not be required to advance its own
funds towards the restoration of the property unless it shall be determined in
the sole judgment of such Master Servicer, (i) that such restoration 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 through Liquidation Proceeds. The related Master
Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it
in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to
reimbursement thereof (as well as its normal servicing compensation) as an
advance. Each Master Servicer shall maintain information required for tax
reporting purposes regarding any related Mortgaged Property which is abandoned
or which has been foreclosed or otherwise comparably converted. Each Master
Servicer shall report such information to the Internal Revenue Service and the
Mortgagor in the manner required by applicable law.
Neither Trust shall acquire any REO Property (or personal property
incident to such REO Property) except in connection with a default or imminent
default of a related Mortgage Loan. In the event that a Trust acquires any REO
Property (or personal property incident to such REO Property) in connection
with a default or imminent default of a related Mortgage Loan, such property
shall be disposed of by the related Master Servicer within three years after
its acquisition by such Master Servicer for such Trust, unless such Master
Servicer provides to the Certificate Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the holding by such Trust of such REO Property subsequent to three
years after its acquisition will not result in the imposition of taxes on
"prohibited transactions" of such Trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code.
The related Master Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each
REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt
disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail to
qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) or
result in the receipt by the REMIC of any "income from non-permitted assets"
within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any "net income from
foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.
Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the related Master Servicer
shall either itself or through an agent selected by such Master Servicer
protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such extent as is
customary in the locality where such property is located and may, incident to
its conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders,
rent the same, or any part thereof, as such Master Servicer deems to be in the
best interest of such Master Servicer and the Certificateholders for the period
prior to the sale of such property. Additionally, the related Master Servicer
shall perform the tax withholding and shall file information returns with
respect to the receipt of mortgage interests received in a trade or business,
the reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and the
information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with
respect to any Mortgaged Property required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P,
respectively, of the Code, and deliver to the Certificate Trustee an Officer's
Certificate on or before April 30 of each year stating that such reports have
been filed.
40
<PAGE> 46
Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting
requirements imposed by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
Section 3.10. Certificate Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage
Files. Upon the Payoff or scheduled maturity of any Mortgage Loan, the related
Master Servicer shall cause such final payment to be immediately deposited in
the related Custodial Account for P&I or the Investment Account. Upon notice
thereof, the related Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate
Trustee 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 deposited in either such account have been so deposited) of a
Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. Upon
receipt of such certification and request, the Certificate Trustee shall, not
later than the fifth succeeding Business Day, release the related Mortgage File
to the related Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer indicated in such
request. With any such Payoff or other final payment, the related Master
Servicer is authorized to prepare for and procure from the trustee or mortgagee
under the Mortgage which secured the Mortgage Note a deed of full reconveyance
or other form of satisfaction or assignment of Mortgage and endorsement of
Mortgage Note in connection with a refinancing covering the Mortgaged Property,
which satisfaction, endorsed Mortgage Note or assigning document shall be
delivered by the related Master Servicer to the person or persons entitled
thereto. No expenses incurred in connection with such satisfaction or
assignment shall be payable to the related Master Servicer by the Certificate
Trustee or from the Certificate Account, the Investment Account or the related
Custodial Account for P&I. From time to time as appropriate for the servicing
or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection
under any Primary Insurance Policy, the Certificate Trustee shall, upon request
of the related Master Servicer and delivery to it of a trust receipt signed by
a Servicing Officer, release not later than the fifth Business Day following
the date of receipt of such request the related Mortgage File to the related
Master Servicer or the related Servicer as indicated by the related Master
Servicer and shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to the
prosecution of any such proceedings. Such trust receipt shall obligate the
related Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Certificate Trustee
when the need therefor by the related Master Servicer 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 herein above specified, the
trust receipt shall be released by the Certificate Trustee to the related
Master Servicer.
Section 3.11. Compensation to the Master Servicers, the Servicers
and the Bond Administrator. As compensation for its activities hereunder, each
Master Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from its Investment Account the
amounts provided for by Section 3.05(a)(iii). Each Master Servicer shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities
hereunder, and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor, except as
specifically provided herein.
As compensation for its activities under the applicable Selling and
Servicing Contract, each Servicer shall be entitled to withhold or withdraw
from the related Custodial Account for P&I the amounts provided for in such
Selling and Servicing Contract. Each Servicer is required to pay all expenses
incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities under its Selling
and Servicing Contract (including payment of premiums for Primary Insurance
Policies, if required) and shall not
41
<PAGE> 47
be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in such
Selling and Servicing Contract and not inconsistent with this Agreement.
The Certificate Trustee shall withdraw from the Certificate Account
the amounts provided for by Section 3.05(d) and shall pay such amounts to the
Bond Administrator as compensation for the activities of the Bond Administrator
hereunder. The Bond Administrator shall be required to pay all expenses
incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder, including the
Certificate Trustee's fees and expenses (pursuant to Section 8.05) and the
Indenture Trustee's Fees and expenses under the Indenture and shall not be
entitled to reimbursement therefor, except as specifically provided herein.
Section 3.12. Reports to the Certificate Trustee; Certificate
Account Statement. Not later than 15 days after each Distribution Date, each
Master Servicer shall forward to the Bond Administrator a Master Servicer's
Section 3.12 Report setting forth certain information with respect to the
Mortgage Loans serviced by such Master Servicer. The Bond Administrator shall,
within five (5) days after its receipt of such statement, and based on the
information set forth in such Master Servicers' Section 3.12 Reports, deliver a
Certificate Account Statement, certified by a Servicing Officer, to the
Certificate Trustee. The Certificate Account Statement shall set forth the
status of the Certificate Account as of the close of business on such
Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the
aggregate amount of deposits into the Certificate Account by the Master
Servicers for each category of deposit specified in Section 3.04, the aggregate
amount of withdrawals from the Certificate Account by the Bond Administrator
for each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.05, and stating that all
distributions required to be made by the Master Servicers pursuant to this
Agreement have been made (or if any required distribution has not been made,
specifying the nature and amount thereof). The Certificate Trustee shall
provide such statements to any Certificateholder at the expense of the Bond
Administrator upon the request of such Certificateholder.
Section 3.13. Annual Statement as to Compliance. Each Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Trustee, on or before April 30 of
each year, beginning April 30, 1998, an Officer's Certificate stating as to the
signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of such Master Servicer
during the preceding calendar year and performance under this Agreement has
been made under such officer's supervision, and (ii) to the best of such
officer's knowledge, based on such review, such Master Servicer has fulfilled
all its 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. Copies of such
statement shall be provided by the related Master Servicer to
Certificateholders upon request or by the Certificate Trustee (solely to the
extent that such copies are available to the Certificate Trustee) at the
expense of such Master Servicer, should such Master Servicer fail to so provide
such copies.
Section 3.14. Duties with respect to REMICs.
(a) The Master Servicers shall assist the Trustee in taking, to
the extent reasonably requested to do so, such action as shall be necessary to
create or maintain the status of the Upper REMIC and the Lower REMIC as REMICs
under the REMIC Provisions.
42
<PAGE> 48
(b) For the purposes of this paragraph (b), "Adverse REMIC Event"
shall mean any action or failure to act which could (i) endanger the status of
either the Upper REMIC or the Lower REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the
imposition of a tax upon any Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax
on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the
tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code).
Prior to taking any action with respect to any Trust Fund or its assets, or
causing either the Upper REMIC or the Lower REMIC to take any action which is
not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement or the Series
Supplement, the related Master Servicer will consult with the Certificate
Trustee or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could
cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to either the Upper REMIC or
the Lower REMIC , and the related Master Servicer shall not take any such
action or cause either the Upper REMIC or the Lower REMIC to take any such
action as to which the Certificate Trustee has advised it in writing that an
Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Certificate Trustee may consult with
counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the
party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement.
(c) The Bond Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books and records with respect to any Trust Fund on a calendar year
and on an accrual basis.
(d) No Master Servicer shall acquire assets on behalf of either the
Upper REMIC or the Lower REMIC unless it shall have received an Opinion of
Counsel (which such Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee)
to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in either the Upper REMIC or
the Lower REMIC will not cause either the Upper REMIC or the Lower REMIC to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or
subject either the Upper REMIC or the Lower REMIC to any tax under the REMIC
Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or
ordinances.
(e) No Master Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which
either the Upper REMIC or the Lower REMIC will receive a fee or other
compensation for services nor permit either of such REMICs to receive any
income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(f) Each Master Servicer agrees to indemnify any Trust Fund, the
Company, and the Certificate Trustee for any taxes and costs (including,
without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees) imposed on or incurred by
any Trust Fund, the Company or the Certificate Trustee, as a result of a breach
of such Master Servicer's covenants set forth in this Section 3.14 or in
Article III with respect to compliance with the REMIC Provisions. The Bond
Administrator agrees to indemnify any Trust Fund, the Company and the
Certificate Trustee for any penalties arising from the Certificate Trustee's
execution of Tax Returns prepared by the Bond Administrator that contain errors
or omissions.
Section 3.15. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Report. On or before April 30 of each year, beginning April 30, 1998, each
Master Servicer, at its own expense, shall cause a firm of independent public
accountants to furnish a statement to the Certificate Trustee to the effect
43
<PAGE> 49
that, in connection with the firm's examination of such Master Servicer's
financial statements as of the previous December 31, nothing came to their
attention that indicated that such Master Servicer was not in compliance with
Section 3.02, Section 3.03, Section 3.04, Section 3.05, Section 3.11, Section
3.12 and Section 3.13 of this Agreement, except for (i) such exceptions as such
firm believes to be immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as are set forth
in such statement.

their sole and absolute discretion, enter into a special servicing agreement
with an unaffiliated holder of a 100% percentage interest in a Subordinate Bond
(as defined in the Indenture), subject to each Rating Agency's acknowledgment
that the ratings of the Bonds in effect immediately prior to the entering into
of such agreement would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the Bonds
would not be placed on credit review status (except for possible upgrading) as
a result of such agreement. Any such agreement must be signed by both Master
Servicers and may contain provisions whereby such holder may instruct the
related Master Servicer to commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with
respect to delinquent related Mortgage Loans and will contain provisions for
the disposition of cash deposited with the applicable Master Servicer by the
holder of such Subordinate Security that would be available for distribution to
Certificateholders if Liquidation Proceeds are less than they otherwise may
have been had the related Master Servicer acted in accordance with its normal
procedures.
Section 3.17. Assumption or Termination of Selling and Servicing
Contracts by Certificate Trustee. In the event a Master Servicer shall for any
reason no longer be qualified or able to act as Master Servicer hereunder
(including by reason of an Event of Default), the Certificate Trustee as
trustee hereunder or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the related Master Servicer under the Selling and Servicing
Contracts with respect to the related Mortgage Loans unless the Certificate
Trustee elects to terminate the Selling and Servicing Contracts with respect to
such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof. The Certificate
Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Certificate Trustee
shall be deemed to have assumed all of the related Master Servicer's interest
therein with respect to the related Mortgage Loans and to have replaced such
Master Servicer as a party to the Selling and Servicing Contracts to the same
extent as if the rights and duties under the Selling and Servicing Contracts
relating to such Mortgage Loans had been assigned to the assuming party, except
that the related Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability
or obligations under the Selling and Servicing Contracts with respect to such
Master Servicer's duties to be performed prior to its termination hereunder.
The related Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the
Certificate Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records
relating to the Selling and Servicing Contracts and the related Mortgage Loans
then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it and
otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of
the rights and duties under the related Selling and Servicing Contracts
relating to such Mortgage Loans to the assuming party.

a related Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the amounts actually deposited in the
Certificate Account on account of such payments. Each Master Servicer's

Monthly Payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise.
Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately

Distribution Date either (i) deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal
to such Monthly P&I Advance, (ii) make an appropriate entry in the records of

(i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Monthly P&I Advance. Any funds
being held for future distribution to Certificateholders and so used shall be
replaced by the related Master Servicer by deposit into the Certificate Account
on the Business Day immediately preceding any future Distribution Date to the
extent that funds in the Certificate Account on such Distribution Date with
respect to the related Mortgage Loans shall be less than payments to
Certificateholders required to be made on such date with respect to such
Mortgage Loans. Under each Selling and Servicing Contract, the related Master
Servicer is entitled to receive from the Custodial Accounts for P&I amounts
received by the applicable Servicer on particular Mortgage Loans as late
payments of principal and interest or as Liquidation or Insurance Proceeds and
respecting which such Master Servicer has made an unreimbursed advance of
principal and interest. Each Master Servicer is also entitled to receive other
amounts from the related Custodial Accounts for P&I to reimburse itself for
prior Nonrecoverable Advances respecting related Mortgage Loans serviced by the
applicable Servicer. Each Master Servicer shall deposit such amounts in the
Certificate Account prior to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05.
In accordance with Section 3.05, Monthly P&I Advances are reimbursable
to a Master Servicer from cash in the Certificate Account to the extent that

each Distribution Date, the Bond Administrator shall provide the Certificate
Trustee with a statement regarding the amount of principal and interest to be

by the applicable Servicer pursuant to its Selling and Servicing Contract or by
the related Master Servicer that such Master Servicer shall determine in its
good faith judgment not to be ultimately recoverable from Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise of related Mortgage Loan or recoverable as
late Monthly Payments with respect to related Mortgage Loan shall be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by a Master Servicer that it or the
applicable Servicer has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any advance would
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer's
Certificate of such Master Servicer delivered to the Certificate Trustee on the
Determination Date and detailing the reasons for such determination.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any insurance policy
relating to the Mortgage Loans, or any other agreement relating to the Mortgage
Loans to which the Master Servicer is a party, (a) each Master Servicer and
each Servicer shall not be obligated to, and shall not, make any advance that,
after reasonable inquiry and in its sole discretion, such Master Servicer or
such Servicer shall determine would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and (b) each
Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be
48
<PAGE> 54

which establishes or establish to the Certificate Trustee's satisfaction that
such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities

therein by such Master Servicer under the terms of this Agreement
which continues unremedied for a period of ten days after the date
upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be

(ii) Failure on the part of a Master Servicer duly
to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the

and/or the Certificate Trustee by the Holders of Certificates of the
affected Series evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating
not less than 66 2/3% of the Trust Fund for the affected Series; or

supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the
appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for

substantially all of its property; or
(v) A Master Servicer shall admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a

(vi) Any failure of a Master Servicer to make any
Monthly P&I Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Advance) which
continues unremedied at the opening of business on the Distribution
Date in respect of which such Monthly P&I Advance was to have been
made;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not
have been remedied by such Master Servicer (the "Defaulting Master Servicer"),

and the Defaulting Master Servicer (and to the Certificate Trustee if given by
the Certificateholders, in which case such notice shall set forth evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Certificate Trustee that such Event of Default
has occurred and shall not have been remedied) may terminate all of the rights
(other than its right to reimbursement for advances) and obligations of the
Defaulting Master Servicer, including its right to the related Master Servicing
Fee, under this Agreement and in and to the related Mortgage Loans and the
proceeds thereof, if any. Such determination shall be final and binding. On or
after the receipt by the Defaulting Master Servicer of such written notice, all
authority and power of the Defaulting Master Servicer under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Certificates or the related Mortgage Loans or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Certificate Trustee pursuant to
and under this Section 7.01; and, without limitation, the Certificate Trustee
is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Defaulting Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all
documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or
things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of
the related Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. Each Master
Servicer, in the event that it becomes a Defaulting Master Servicer, agrees to
cooperate with the Certificate Trustee in effecting the termination of such
Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without
limitation, the transfer to the Certificate Trustee for administration by it of
all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by such Master Servicer to
the Certificate Account or thereafter be received with respect to the related
Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default described in
clause (vi) of this Section 7.01(a) shall occur, the Certificate Trustee shall,
by notice in writing to the Defaulting Master Servicer, which may be delivered
by telecopy, immediately suspend all of the rights and obligations of the
Defaulting Master Servicer thereafter arising under this Agreement, but without
prejudice to any rights it may have as a Certificateholder or to reimbursement
of Monthly P&I Advances and other advances of its own funds, and the
Certificate Trustee shall act as provided in Section 7.02 to carry out the
duties of the Defaulting Master Servicer, including the obligation to make any
Monthly P&I Advance the nonpayment of which was an Event of Default described
in clause (vi) of this Section 7.01(a). Any such action taken by the
Certificate Trustee must be prior to the distribution on the relevant
Distribution Date. If the Defaulting Master Servicer shall within two Business
Days following such suspension remit to the Certificate Trustee the amount of
any Monthly P&I Advance the nonpayment of which by the Defaulting Master
Servicer was an Event of Default described in clause (vi) of this Section
7.01(a), the Certificate Trustee shall permit the Defaulting Master Servicer to
resume its rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder. The Defaulting
Master Servicer agrees that it will reimburse the Certificate Trustee for
actual, necessary and reasonable costs incurred by the Certificate Trustee
because of action taken pursuant to clause (vi) of this Section 7.01(a). Each
Master Servicer agrees that if an Event of Default as described in clause (vi)
of this Section 7.01(a) shall occur with respect to it more than two times in
any twelve month period, the Certificate Trustee shall be under no obligation
to permit the Defaulting Master Servicer to resume its rights and obligations
as Master Servicer hereunder.

Company shall occur and be continuing:

requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Company by the Certificate Trustee, or to the Company and the
Certificate Trustee by the Holders of Certificates of a Series
evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 66
2/3% of the Trust Fund for the affected Series; or
(ii) A decree or order of a court or agency or
supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the

marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for
the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered
against the Company and such decree or order shall have remained in
force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
(iii) The Company shall consent to the appointment
of a trustee in bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or liquidator in
any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the
Company or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property;

(iv) 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 bankruptcy, insolvency or

not have been remedied, the Holders of Certificates of an affected Series
evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 66 2/3% of
the Trust Fund for the affected Series, by notice in writing to the Company and
the Certificate Trustee, may direct the Certificate Trustee in accordance with
Section 10.03 to institute an action, suit or proceeding in its own name as
Certificate Trustee hereunder to enforce the Company's obligations hereunder.
(c) In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the
Bond Administrator shall occur and be continuing:

Administrator duly to observe or perform in any material respect any
of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Bond Administrator
contained in the Certificates of a Series or in this Agreement or
under the Indenture which continues unremedied for a period of 60 days
after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the
same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Bond Administrator
by the Certificate Trustee, or to the Bond Administrator and the
Certificate Trustee by the Holders of Certificates of a Series
evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 66
2/3% of the Trust Fund for the affected Series; or
55
<PAGE> 61
(ii) A decree or order of a court or agency or
supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the
appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for
the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered
against the Bond Administrator and such decree or order shall have
remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
(iii) The Bond Administrator shall consent to the
appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or
relating to the Bond Administrator or of or relating to all or
substantially all of its property; or
(iv) The Bond Administrator shall admit in writing
its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a
petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall
not have been remedied, the Holders of Certificates of an affected Series
evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 66 2/3% of
the Trust Fund for the affected Series, by notice in writing to the Company and
the Certificate Trustee, may direct the Certificate Trustee in accordance with
Section 10.03 to institute an action, suit or proceeding in its own name as
Certificate Trustee hereunder to enforce the Bond Administrator's obligations
hereunder.
(d) In any circumstances in which this Agreement states that
Certificateholders owning Certificates of a Series evidencing a certain
percentage Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust Fund for such Series may
take certain action, such action shall be taken by the Certificate Trustee, but
only if the requisite percentage of Certificateholders required under this
Agreement for taking like action or giving like instruction to the Certificate
Trustee under this Agreement shall have so directed the Certificate Trustee in
writing.
Section 7.02. Certificate Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time a Defaulting Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Certificate Trustee shall be the
successor in all respects to the Defaulting Master Servicer under this
Agreement and under the Selling and Servicing Contracts with respect to the
related Mortgage Loans and with respect to the transactions set forth or
provided for herein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to
all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto arising after
the Defaulting Master Servicer receives such notice of termination placed on
the Defaulting Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and thereof,
and shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the
Defaulting Master Servicer; provided, that the Certificate Trustee shall not
under any circumstances be responsible for any representations and warranties
or any Purchase Obligation or any liability incurred by the Defaulting Master
Servicer at or prior to the time the Defaulting Master Servicer was terminated
as Master Servicer and the Certificate Trustee shall not be obligated to make a
Monthly P&I Advance if it is prohibited by law from so doing. As compensation
therefor, the Certificate Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to
the Mortgage
56
<PAGE> 62
Loans which the Defaulting Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain
or to withdraw from the Certificate Account if the Defaulting Master Servicer
had continued to act hereunder, except for those amounts due to the Defaulting
Master Servicer as reimbursement for advances previously made or amounts
previously expended and are otherwise reimbursable hereunder. Notwithstanding
the above, the Certificate Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or
shall if it is unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution
having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 as the successor to the
Defaulting Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of
the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Defaulting Master Servicer
hereunder. Pending any such appointment, the Certificate Trustee is obligated
to act in such capacity. In connection with such appointment and assumption,
the Certificate 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, together with the
compensation to the Certificate Trustee, be in excess of that permitted the
Defaulting Master Servicer hereunder. The Certificate Trustee and such
successor shall take such actions, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be
necessary to effectuate any such succession.
Section 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any such
termination or appointment of a successor to the Defaulting Master Servicer,
the Certificate Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register.

that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Certificate
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

petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee.
If at any time the Certificate 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 Bond Administrator, or if at any time the
Certificate Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged
bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Certificate Trustee or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of the Certificate Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Bond Administrator may
remove the Certificate Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to
the Certificate Trustee so removed, one copy to the successor.
The Holders of Certificates of a Series evidencing Fractional
Undivided Interests aggregating more than 66 2/3% of the Trust Fund for such
Series may at any time remove the Certificate Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such
Holders or their attorneys in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which
instruments shall be delivered to the Bond Administrator and each Master
Servicer, one complete set to the Certificate Trustee so removed and one
complete set to the successor so appointed.
Any resignation or removal of the Certificate Trustee and appointment
of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07
shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee
as provided in Section 8.08. Any expenses associated with the resignation of
the Certificate Trustee shall be borne by the Certificate Trustee, and any
expenses associated with the removal of the Certificate Trustee shall be borne
by the Bond Administrator.
Section 8.08. Successor Certificate Trustee. Any successor trustee
appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Bond Administrator and each Master Servicer 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 Certificate
Trustee herein. The predecessor shall deliver to the successor trustee all
Mortgage Files, related documents, statements and all other property held by it
hereunder, and the Bond Administrator, each Master Servicer and the predecessor
trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as
may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming
in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
61
<PAGE> 67
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.08 unless at the time of such appointment 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 Bond Administrator shall mail notice of the succession
of such trustee hereunder to (i) all Certificateholders at their addresses as
shown in the Certificate Register and (ii) the Rating Agency. If the Bond
Administrator fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such
notice to be mailed.
Section 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Certificate Trustee. Any
corporation or association into which the Certificate 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 Certificate Trustee
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business
of the Certificate Trustee, shall be the successor of the Certificate Trustee
hereunder, provided such resulting or successor 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-Certificate Trustee or Separate
Certificate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which
any part of a Trust Fund may at the time be located, the Bond Administrator,
each Master Servicer and the Certificate Trustee acting jointly shall have the
power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Persons approved by the Certificate Trustee to act as co-trustee or
co-trustees, jointly with the Certificate Trustee, or separate trustee or
separate trustees, of all or any part of such Trust Fund, and to vest in such
Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to such 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 Bond Administrator, each
Master Servicer and the Certificate Trustee may consider necessary or
desirable; provided, that the Certificate Trustee shall remain liable for all
of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. If the Bond Administrator
and each Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15
days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Certificate Trustee alone
shall have the power to make such appointment; provided, that the Certificate
Trustee shall remain liable for all of its obligations and duties under this
Agreement. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06
hereunder and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of
co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08
hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Certificate Trustee shall be conferred or imposed
upon and exercised or performed by the Certificate Trustee and such separate
trustee or co-trustee jointly and severally, except to the extent that under
any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be
performed by the Certificate Trustee (whether as Certificate Trustee hereunder
or as successor to a Master Servicer hereunder), the
62
<PAGE> 68
Certificate 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 such Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or
co-trustee at the direction of the Certificate Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Certificate Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustee(s) and
co-trustee(s), as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee(s) or co-trustee(s) 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 Certificate 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 Certificate Trustee. Every such instrument
shall be filed with the Certificate Trustee.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Certificate 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 the trust shall
vest in and be exercised by the Certificate Trustee, to the extent permitted by
law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.
Section 8.11. Authenticating Agents. The Certificate Trustee may
appoint one or more Authenticating Agents which shall be authorized to act on
behalf of the Certificate Trustee in authenticating Certificates. Wherever
reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by
the Certificate Trustee or the Certificate Trustee's certificate of
authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on
behalf of the Certificate Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate
of authentication executed on behalf of the Certificate Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Bond
Administrator and each Master Servicer and must be a corporation or banking
association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state, having a principal office and place of business in New
York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000,
authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authorities.
Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency
business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating
Agent so long as it shall be eligible in accordance with the provisions of the
first paragraph of this Section 8.11 without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of the Certificate Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent.
63
<PAGE> 69
Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written
notice of resignation to the Certificate Trustee, the Bond Administrator and to
each Master Servicer. The Certificate Trustee may, upon prior written approval
of the Bond Administrator and each Master Servicer, at any time terminate the
agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to
such Authenticating Agent, the Bond Administrator and to each Master Servicer.
Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case
at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 8.11, the
Certificate Trustee may appoint, upon prior written approval of the Bond
Administrator and each Master Servicer, a successor Authenticating Agent, shall
give written notice of such appointment to the Bond Administrator and to each
Master Servicer and shall mail notice of such appointment to all
Certificateholders. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties
and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as Authenticating Agent. Any reasonable compensation paid to
an Authenticating Agent shall be a reimbursable expense pursuant to Section
8.05 if paid by the Certificate Trustee.
Section 8.12. Paying Agents. The Certificate Trustee may appoint
one or more Paying Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the
Certificate Trustee in making withdrawals from the Certificate Account, and
distributions to Certificateholders as provided in Section 4.01(a), Section
4.05(a) and Section 9.01(b) to the extent directed to do so by the Bond
Administrator. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the withdrawal
from the Certificate Account by the Certificate Trustee, such reference shall
be deemed to include such a withdrawal on behalf of the Certificate Trustee by
a Paying Agent. Whenever reference is made in this Agreement to a distribution
by the Certificate Trustee or the furnishing of a statement to
Certificateholders by the Certificate Trustee, such reference shall be deemed
to include such a distribution or furnishing on behalf of the Certificate
Trustee by a Paying Agent. Each Paying Agent shall provide to the Certificate
Trustee such information concerning the Certificate Account as the Certificate
Trustee shall request from time to time. Each Paying Agent must be reasonably
acceptable to the Bond Administrator and must be a corporation or banking
association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state, having a principal office and place of business in New
York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000,
authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authorities.
Any corporation into which any Paying Agent may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Paying Agent shall be a party,
or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Paying
Agent, shall continue to be the Paying Agent provided that such corporation
after the consummation of such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession
meets the eligibility requirements of this Section 8.12.
Any Paying Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of
resignation to the Certificate Trustee and to the Bond Administrator; provided,
that the Paying Agent has returned to the Certificate Account or otherwise
accounted, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Bond Administrator, for all
amounts it has withdrawn from the Certificate Account. The Certificate
64
<PAGE> 70
Trustee may, upon prior written approval of the Bond Administrator, at any time
terminate the agency of any Paying Agent by giving written notice of
termination to such Paying Agent and to each Master Servicer. Upon receiving a
notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any
Paying Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
the first paragraph of this Section 8.12, the Certificate Trustee may appoint,
upon prior written approval of the Bond Administrator, a successor Paying
Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to each Master Servicer
and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders. Any
successor Paying Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Paying Agent.
Any reasonable compensation paid to any Paying Agent shall be a reimbursable
expense pursuant to Section 8.05 if paid by the Certificate Trustee.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
Section 9.01. Termination Upon Repurchase by the Company or
Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
(a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Article IX, including,
without limitation, the obligation of the Certificate Trustee to make payments
to Certificateholders as hereafter set forth, the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Company, the Bond Administrator, the Master Servicers
and the Certificate Trustee created hereby shall terminate upon (i) the
repurchase by the Bond Administrator or the Company pursuant to the following
paragraph of this Section 9.01(a) of all Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the related Trust Fund at
a price equal to the Repurchase Price, or (ii) the later of the final payment
or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan remaining in the related Trust Fund or the disposition of all property
acquired upon foreclosure in respect of any Mortgage Loan, and the payment to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them hereunder;
provided, however, that in no event shall the trusts created hereby continue
beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor of the issue
of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of
St. James, living on the date hereof.
The right of the Bond Administrator or the Company to repurchase all
of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and any Mortgaged Properties acquired by a
Trust Fund pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph shall be
conditioned upon the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans on an Optional Termination Date aggregating an amount equal to or less
than five percent (5%) of the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date. The Bond Administrator shall have the
primary right to repurchase the Mortgage Loans and any Mortgaged Properties
acquired by each Trust Fund on an Optional Termination Date pursuant to this
Section 9.01(a). The right of the Company to effect such a repurchase shall be
secondary to such right of the Bond Administrator and may only be exercised in
the event that the Bond Administrator does not elect to exercise such
repurchase right within 180 days after the first Optional Termination Date. If
such right is exercised by the Bond Administrator with respect to an Optional
65
<PAGE> 71
Termination Date, the Bond Administrator shall give not less than 10 Business
Days prior written notice to the Company, the Certificate Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee and each Master Servicer and shall provide to the Certificate
Trustee (and to each Master Servicer) the written certification of an officer
of the Bond Administrator (which certification shall include a statement to the
effect that all amounts required to be paid in order to repurchase the Mortgage
Loans have been deposited in the Certificate Account), and the Certificate
Trustee shall promptly execute all instruments as may be necessary to release
and assign to the Bond Administrator on such Optional Termination Date, the
Mortgage Files and any foreclosed Mortgaged Property pertaining to the Trust
Fund for each Series. If the Bond Administrator does not give such notice
within 180 days after the first Optional Termination Date respect to an
Optional Termination Date, the Company shall give not less than 10 Business
Days prior written notice to the Certificate Trustee, the Indenture Trustee,
the Bond Administrator and each Master Servicer and shall provide to the
Certificate Trustee (and to the Bond Administrator and each Master Servicer)
the written certification of an officer of the Company (which certification
shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts required to be paid in
order to repurchase the Mortgage Loans have been deposited in the Certificate
Account), and the Certificate Trustee shall promptly execute all instruments as
may be necessary to release and assign to the Company on such Optional
Termination Date, the Mortgage Files and any foreclosed Mortgaged Property
pertaining to the Trust Fund for each Series.
In no event shall the Company or the Bond Administrator, as
applicable, be required to expend any amounts other than those described in the
first and second paragraphs of this Section 9.01(a) in order to terminate a
Trust Fund or repurchase the related Mortgage Loans under this Section 9.01.
(b) Notice of any termination, specifying the date upon which the
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Certificate Trustee
for payment and cancellation, shall be given promptly by letter from the
Certificate Trustee to Certificateholders mailed not less than 30 days prior to
such final distribution, specifying (i) the date upon which final payment of
the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates
at the office of the Certificate Registrar therein designated (the "Termination
Date"), (ii) the amount of such final payment (the "Termination Payment"), and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to the Distribution Date upon
which the Termination Date occurs is not applicable, payments being made only
upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the
Certificate Registrar therein specified. Upon any such notice, the Certificate
Account shall terminate subject to the Certificate Trustee's obligation to hold
all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending
such payment.
In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the Termination
Date or the Optional Termination Date, as applicable, the Company shall give a
second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the Termination Payment or Repurchase
Price with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Company may
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 in trust hereunder.
66
<PAGE> 72
In addition and without prejudice to the foregoing, the respective
obligations of the Company, the Master Servicers, the Bond Administrator and
the Certificate Trustee created hereby may be terminated in respect of one or
more Series of Certificates on any date occurring after maturity of the Bonds
and the release of the Certificates from any pledge securing the Bonds under
the Indenture. Termination in the foregoing circumstances shall be effected
upon receipt by the Certificate Trustee of written notice from 100% of the
Certificateholders of the related Series of Certificate or Certificates
requiring termination of this Agreement in respect of such Series of
Certificate or Certificates and requesting the transfer of any Trust Fund to
them in the manner specified in such notice.
Section 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
In the event the Bond Administrator or the Company repurchases the
Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 9.01, the Lower REMIC and, in turn, the
Upper REMIC shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional
requirements, unless the Bond Administrator, at its own expense, obtains for
the Certificate Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure to
comply with the requirements of this Section 9.02 will not (a) result in the
imposition of taxes on the net income derived from "prohibited transactions" of
either the Lower REMIC or the Upper REMIC, as defined in Section 860F of the
Code or (b) cause either the Lower REMIC or Upper REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC under the REMIC Provisions at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding:
(i) The Certificate Trustee shall establish a 90-day liquidation
period for the REMICs and specify the first day of such period
in a statement attached to the final Tax Returns of the REMICs
pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.860F-1. The
Certificate Trustee shall satisfy all the requirements of a
qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any
regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
obtained at the expense of the Bond Administrator; and
(ii) During such 90-day liquidation period, and at or prior to the
time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the
Certificate Trustee shall sell all of the non-cash assets of
the Lower REMIC and the Upper REMIC for cash.
Section 9.03. Trusts Irrevocable. Except as expressly provided
herein, the trusts created hereby are irrevocable.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 10.01. Amendment.

defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein; (iii) to comply
with any requirements imposed by the Code or any regulations thereunder; and

any property included in the related Trust Fund. No such amendment (other than
one entered into pursuant to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence) shall
adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Certificateholder.
Prior to entering into any amendment without the consent of Certificateholders
pursuant to this paragraph, the Certificate Trustee may require an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such amendment is permitted under this paragraph.
(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Bond Administrator, the Master Servicers, the Company and the Certificate
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of a Series evidencing
Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than 66 2/3% of the Trust
Fund for such Series 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 Certificateholders of a Series;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall, without the consent of the
Holder of each Certificate of a Series affected thereby (i) reduce in any
manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, distributions of principal or
interest required to be made hereunder or reduce the Certificateholder's
Fractional Undivided Interest in the Trust Fund of such Series, the Remittance
Rate, the Termination Payment or the Repurchase Price with respect to any of
the Certificates of a Series, (ii) reduce the percentage of Fractional
Undivided Interests specified in this Section 10.01 which are required to amend
this Agreement with respect to the Certificates of such Series, (iii) create or
permit the creation of any lien against any part of a Trust Fund, or (iv)
modify any provision in any way which would permit an earlier retirement of the
Certificates of such Series.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Certificate
Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment
to each Certificateholder. Any failure to provide such notice, or any defect
therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any
such amendment.
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
regulations as the Certificate Trustee may prescribe.

<PAGE> 74
Section 10.02. Recordation of Agreement. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate
public offices for real property records in all the counties or the comparable
jurisdictions in which any Mortgaged Property is situated, and in any other

effected by the Company and at its expense on direction by the Certificate
Trustee, but only upon direction accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests
of the Certificateholders.
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 Funds, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding-up of the Trust Funds, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote or in any manner
otherwise to control the operation and management of the Trust Funds or the
obligations of the parties hereto (except as provided in Section 5.09, Section
7.01, Section 8.01, Section 8.02, Section 8.07, Section 10.01 and this Section
10.03), 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 of
any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Certificate Trustee a written notice
of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless
also the Holders of Certificates of a Series evidencing Fractional Undivided
Interests aggregating not less than 66 2/3% of the Trust Fund for such Series
shall have made written request upon the Certificate Trustee to institute such
action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Certificate Trustee hereunder and
shall have offered to the Certificate Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it
may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein
or thereby, and the Certificate 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. However, the Certificate Trustee
is under no obligation to exercise any of the extraordinary trusts or powers
vested in it by this Agreement or to make any investigation of matters arising
hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in
relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders unless such Certificateholders have offered to the
Certificate Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. It is
understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder
with every other Certificateholder and the Certificate Trustee, that no one or
more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by
virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or
prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to
obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder,
or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein
provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all
Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of
this Section 10.03,

require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most
recent Record Date for payment of distributions to such Certificateholders.
If three or more Certificateholders (hereinafter referred to as
"applicants") apply in writing to the Certificate 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 Certificate Trustee shall, within five Business Days after
the receipt of such list from the Certificate Registrar, afford such applicants
access during normal business hours to the most recent list of
Certificateholders held by the Certificate Trustee. If such a list is as of a
date more than 90 days prior to the date of receipt of such applicants"
request, the Certificate 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 the same, agrees
with the Bond Administrator, each Master Servicer and the Certificate Trustee

information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder,
regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
