Whenever used in this Agreement, including, without

limitation, in the Preliminary Statement hereto, the following words and

Distribution Date on the Certificate Principal Balance, in the case of the Class

the Excess REMIC Net WAC Rate Amount, if any, for such Distribution Date. In

addition, Accrued Certificate Interest with respect to each Distribution Date,

as to the Class CE-I Interest and the Class CE-II Interest, shall be reduced by

an amount equal to the portion allocable to the Class CE Interest, as

applicable, of Realized Losses, if any, pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof.

"Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Loan": Each of the Mortgage Loans

identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as having a Mortgage Rate that is

subject to adjustment.

"Adjustment Date": With respect to each Adjustable-Rate

Loan is set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

securities, by contract or otherwise, and the terms "controlling" and

"controlled" have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES

SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans.

The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery

hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the

Trustee without recourse, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, all the

right, title and interest of the Depositor, including any security interest

therein for the benefit of the Depositor, in and to the Mortgage Loans

identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the rights of the Depositor under the

Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and all other assets included or to be

included in REMIC I. Such assignment includes all interest and principal

received by the Depositor or the Servicer on or with respect to the Mortgage

Loans (other than payments of principal and interest due on such Mortgage Loans

on or before the Cut-off Date). The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee

an executed copy of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor

does hereby deliver to, and deposit with, the Trustee, the following documents

or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so transferred and assigned (a

"Mortgage File"):

(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in the

following form: "Pay to the order of U. S. Bank National Association,

as Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse," with all

prior and intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of

endorsement from the originator to the Person so endorsing to the

Trustee;

(ii) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon,

and the original recorded power of attorney, if the Mortgage was

executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with evidence of recording

thereon;

(iii) an original Assignment in blank;

(iv) the original recorded Assignment or Assignments showing a

complete chain of assignment from the originator to the Person

assigning the Mortgage to the Trustee as contemplated by the

immediately preceding clause (iii);

(v) the original or copies of each assumption, modification,

written assurance or substitution agreement, if any; and

(vi) the original lender's title insurance policy (except with

respect to any Mortgage Loan originated with a Principal Balance of

$150,000 or less), together with all endorsements or riders that were

issued with or subsequent to the issuance of such policy, insuring the

priority of the Mortgage as a first lien on the Mortgaged Property

represented therein as a fee interest vested in

the Mortgagor, or in the event such original title policy is

unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or preliminary

report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company.

The Trustee, at the expense of the Originator, shall promptly

(within sixty Business Days following the later of the Closing Date and the date

of receipt by the Trustee of the recording information for a Mortgage, but in no

event later than ninety days following the Closing Date) submit or cause to be

submitted for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Trust

Administrator, the Servicer or the Depositor, in the appropriate public office

for real property records, each Assignment referred to in Sections 2.01(iii) and

(iv) above and the Depositor shall execute each original Assignment in the

following form: "U. S. Bank National Association, as Trustee under the

applicable agreement." In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned

unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Originator shall promptly prepare or

cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such

defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly

recorded. If the Originator is unable to pay the cost of recording the

Assignments, such expense will be paid by the Trust Administrator and shall be

reimbursable to the Trust Administrator as an Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense.

With respect to a maximum of 2.0% of the Original Mortgage

Loans, by outstanding principal balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the

Cut-off Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in Section 2.01(i) above

cannot be located, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents

shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the Trustee of a photocopy of

such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit substantially in

the form of Exhibit K attached hereto. If any of the original Mortgage Notes for

which a lost note affidavit was delivered to the Trustee is subsequently

located, such original Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the Trustee within

three Business Days.

If any of the documents referred to in Sections 2.01(ii),

(iii) or (iv) above has, as of the Closing Date, been submitted for recording

but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable public recording office

or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has retained the original

shall be deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Trustee of a copy of

each such document certified by the Originator in the case of (x) above or the

applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and

complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such

copy is certified by the Originator, delivery to the Trustee promptly upon

receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by

the applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the

original. Notice shall be provided to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and

the Rating Agencies by the Seller if delivery pursuant to clause (2) above will

be made more than 180 days after the Closing Date. If the original lender's

title insurance policy was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(vi) above, the

Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, promptly after

receipt thereof, the original lender's title insurance policy. The Depositor

shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt

thereof any other original documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File

received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any

are and shall be held by the Seller, the Depositor or the Servicer, as the case

may be, in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the

Certificateholders. In the event that any such original document is required

pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such

document shall be delivered promptly to the Trustee. Any such original document

delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not required pursuant to the terms

of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, shall be delivered promptly to

the Servicer.

The Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee and the Trust

Administrator an executed copy of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of REMIC I by Trustee.

The Trustee, acknowledges receipt, subject to the provisions

of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions noted on the exception report

described in the next paragraph below, the documents referred to in Section 2.01

(other than such documents described in Section 2.01(v)) above and all other

assets included in the definition of "REMIC I" under clauses (i), (iii), (iv)

and (v) (to the extent of amounts attributable thereto deposited into the

Distribution Account) and declares that it holds and will hold such documents

and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File, and that

it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the

definition of "REMIC I" in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all

present and future Certificateholders.

The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,

to review each Mortgage File on or before the Closing Date and to certify in

substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 that, as to each Mortgage

Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in

full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report

annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents

constituting part of such Mortgage File (other than such documents described in

Section 2.01(v)) required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are

in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and appear

regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its

examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the

Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i) through (iii), (vi),

(x)(A), (xi), (xii), (xv), (xvii), (xviii), (xx) through (xxiii) and (xxv) of

the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" accurately reflects information set

forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such

review, the Trustee was under no duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or

examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to

determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the

represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are

other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether

any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in clause (v) of

Section 2.01.

Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement, the

Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trust Administrator

a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 evidencing the

completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted

thereon, and the Servicer shall forward a copy thereof to any Sub-Servicer.

<PAGE>

 

 

If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making

or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the

Trustee finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File

to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its

review the Trustee shall so notify the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trust

Administrator. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer,

the Trust Administrator or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations

and warranties made by the Originator or the Seller in the Mortgage Loan

Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely

affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders in such

Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written

notice to the other parties.

The Trustee shall, at the written request and expense of any

Certificateholder, provide a written report to such Certificateholder of all

Mortgage Files released to the Servicer for servicing purposes.

SECTION 2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of

Mortgage Loans by the Originator and

the Seller.

(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially

defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of

the breach by the Originator or the Seller of any representation, warranty or

covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage

Loan that materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the

interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify

the Seller, the Originator, the Servicer and the Trust Administrator of such

defect, missing document or breach and request that the Originator or the

Seller, as applicable, deliver such missing document or cure such defect or

breach within 60 days from the date the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,

was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Originator

or the Seller, as applicable, does not deliver such missing document or cure

such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the Servicer,

in accordance with Section 3.02(b), shall enforce the obligations of the

Originator or the Seller, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan Purchase

Agreement to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price

within 90 days after the date on which the Originator or the Seller, as

applicable, was notified (subject to Section 2.03(c)) of such missing document,

defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Originator or the Seller is

obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase

Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection

Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer

of such deposit, shall release to the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,

the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such

instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the

Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall be

necessary to vest in the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, any Mortgage

Loan released pursuant hereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator

shall have any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu

of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the

Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Originator or the Seller may cause such

Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall become a

Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage

Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(b).

It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Originator and the Seller

 

-52-

<PAGE>

 

 

to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a

document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to

which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole

remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee and

the Certificateholders.

(b) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans

for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected

prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.

As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Originator or

the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such

substitution shall be effected by the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,

delivering to the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans,

the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other

documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are

required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers' Certificate providing that

each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof

and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any,

in connection with such substitution. The Trustee shall acknowledge receipt for

such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days

thereafter, review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to

the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trust Administrator, with respect to such

Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification substantially in

the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, with any applicable exceptions noted

thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trustee shall deliver

to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trust Administrator a certification

substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto with respect to such Qualified

Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.

Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the

month of substitution are not part of REMIC I and will be retained by the

Originator or the Seller, as applicable. For the month of substitution,

distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly Payment due on such

Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution,

and the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to

retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage

Loan. The Depositor shall give or cause to be given written notice to the

Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, shall amend the

Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from

the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute

Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan

Schedule to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator. Upon such substitution,

such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the

Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this

Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, all applicable

representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase

Agreement.

For any month in which the Originator or the Seller, as

applicable, substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one

or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (the

"Substitution Shortfall Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price

of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such

Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Stated Principal Balance thereof as of

the date of substitution, together with one month's interest on such Stated

Principal Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate, plus all outstanding

Advances and

 

-53-

<PAGE>

 

 

Servicing Advances (including Nonrecoverable Advances and Nonrecoverable

Servicing Advances) related thereto. On the date of such substitution, the

Originator or the Seller, as applicable, will deliver or cause to be delivered

to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the

Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the

related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by the

Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Originator or the Seller, as

applicable, the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and

deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without

recourse, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall deliver to it and

as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released

pursuant hereto.

In addition, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,

shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trust Administrator and the

Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not

cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any Trust REMIC, including without

limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section

860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after the startup date" under

Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a

REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(c) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Servicer,

the Trustee or the Trust Administrator that any Mortgage Loan does not

constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of

the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give

written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the Seller

shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(b),

substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected

Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such

notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase or

substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a).

The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall reconvey to the Seller the

Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same

terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a

representation or warranty.

(vi) No litigation is pending against the Servicer that would

enforceability of this Agreement or the ability of the Servicer to

service the Mortgage Loans or to perform any of its other obligations

hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof;

(vii) There are no actions or proceedings against, or

Agreement or (C) that might prohibit or materially and adversely affect

the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under, or the

validity or enforceability of, this Agreement;

(viii) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any

court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution,

delivery and performance by the Servicer of, or compliance by the

Servicer with, this Agreement or the consummation by it of the

transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for such consents,

approvals, authorizations or orders, if any, that have been obtained

prior to the Closing Date; and

(ix) The Servicer does and will continue to accurately report

of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Trust

Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificateholders. Upon

discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the

covenants which materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan,

Prepayment Charge or the interests therein of the Certificateholders, the party

discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice (but in no event later

than two Business Days following such discovery) to the Trust Administrator and

the Trustee. Subject to Section 7.01, unless such breach shall not be

susceptible of cure within 90 days, the obligation of the Servicer set forth in

Section 2.03(c) to cure breaches shall constitute the sole remedy against the

Servicer available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trust

Administrator and the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders respecting a

breach of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this

Section 2.05. The foregoing shall not, however, limit any remedies available to

the Certificateholders, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee on

behalf of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase

Agreement, respecting a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants

of the Originator or the Seller contained in the Mortgage Loan Purchase

Agreement.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

SECTION 3.01. Servicer to Act as Servicer.

The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans

on behalf of the Trust Fund and in the best interests of and for the benefit of

the Certificateholders (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable

judgment) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective

Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner

in which it services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own

portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice

of prudent mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage

loans but without regard to:

(i) any relationship that the Servicer or any Affiliate of the

Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;

(ii) the ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any

Affiliate of the Servicer;

(iii) the Servicer's obligation to make Advances or Servicing

Advances; or

(iv) the Servicer's right to receive compensation for its

services hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction.

To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer

shall also seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and

interest on the Mortgage Notes. Subject only to the above- described servicing

standards and the terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans,

the Servicer 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

the Servicer in its own name is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee

when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment, to execute and

deliver, on behalf of the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders and the Trustee or

any of them, and upon notice to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, any and

all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release

or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage

Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or

obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such

properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf

of the

 

-59-

<PAGE>

 

 

Trustee, for the benefit of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders. The

Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with

applicable state and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports

required to be provided to them thereby. The Servicer shall also comply in the

performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each

insurer under any standard hazard insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, the

Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the Servicer, and furnish to

the Servicer any special or limited powers of attorney and other documents

necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and

administrative duties hereunder and the Trustee shall not be liable for the

actions of the Servicer under such powers of attorney.

In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph,

the Servicer shall make or cause to be made Servicing Advances as necessary for

the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged

Properties, which Servicing Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance

from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and

further as provided in Section 3.11; provided, however, the Servicer shall only

make such Servicing Advance if the Mortgagor has made such payment as set forth

in Section 3.09 or if the Mortgagor has not made such payment, if the failure to

make such Servicing Advance would affect the lien position of the Mortgage Loan.

Any cost incurred by the Servicer in effecting the payment of taxes and

assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose of calculating

the Stated Principal Balance of a Mortgage Loan or distributions to

Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related

Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,

the Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan

(except as provided in Section 4.03) and the Servicer shall not permit any

modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage

Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions resulting

from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such

Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in default

with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the

Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or any modification, waiver or amendment of

any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an exchange or

reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or final,

temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause

any Trust REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code

or the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions

after the startup date" under the REMIC Provisions.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in

the event of a Principal Prepayment in full of a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer may

not waive any Prepayment Charge or portion thereof required by the terms of the

related Mortgage Note unless (i) the Servicer determines that such waiver would

maximize recovery of Liquidation Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into

account the value of such Prepayment Charge, or (ii)(A) the enforceability

thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or

other similar law relating to creditors' rights generally or (2) due to

acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or

(B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by applicable law.

In the event of a Principal Prepayment in full with respect to

any Mortgage Loan, the

 

-60-

<PAGE>

 

 

Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator a certification of a Servicing

Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit J no later than the third Business

Day following the immediately succeeding Determination Date with a copy to the

Class CE Certificateholder.

Promptly upon the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or

receipt of notice by the Servicer of the breach of the covenant of the Servicer

set forth above which materially and adversely affects the interests of the

Holders of the Class P Certificates in any Prepayment Charge, the Servicer shall

promptly pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge (or such portion

thereof as had been waived), for the benefit of the holders of the Class P

Certificates by depositing such amount into the Collection Account for

distribution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The foregoing shall

not, however, limit any remedies available to the Certificateholders, the

Depositor or the Trust Administrator on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the

benefit of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase

Agreement, respecting a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants

of the Originator or the Seller contained in the Mortgage Loan Purchase

Agreement.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is the subject of a

Principal Prepayment in full, which prepayment is not accompanied by the payment

of a Prepayment Charge, the Trust Administrator shall verify that such Mortgage

Loan was identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as not being subject to a

Prepayment Charge.

The Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this

Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the Servicer

from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.

As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer,

for the benefit of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the

Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of the Originator and the

Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, without

limitation, any obligation of the Originator or the Seller to purchase a

Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation or on account of

a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, as described in Section

2.03(a).

SECTION 3.02. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between

Servicer and Sub-Servicers.

The Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage

Loan by a Sub- Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement; provided that

such sub-servicing arrangement and the terms of the related Sub-Servicing

Agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner

consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the

provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the

Servicer or a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Servicer or

otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor, the

Trust, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Certificateholders for the

servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the

provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability

by virtue of such Sub- Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of

indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same

terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and

 

-61-

<PAGE>

 

 

administering the Mortgage Loans. Every Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by

the Servicer shall contain a provision giving the successor Servicer the option

to terminate such agreement in the event a successor Servicer is appointed. All

actions of each Sub-Servicer performed pursuant to the related Sub- Servicing

Agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Servicer with the same force and

effect as if performed directly by the Servicer.

For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed

to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the

Mortgage Loans that are received by a Sub- Servicer regardless of whether such

payments are remitted by the Sub-Servicer to the Servicer.

SECTION 3.03. Successor Sub-Servicers.

The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing

Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing

Agreement and to either itself directly service the related Mortgage Loans or

enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which

qualifies under Section 3.02. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the

provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trust

Administrator or the Trustee (if the Trust Administrator or the Trustee is

acting as Servicer) without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,

in the event that the Servicer (or the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, if it

is then acting as Servicer) shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer

(including termination due to a Servicer Event of Default).

SECTION 3.04. No Contractual Relationship Between

Sub-Servicer, Trust Administrator,

Trustee or the Certificateholders.

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement and any other transactions or

services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer shall be deemed

to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone and the Trust

Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed

parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or

liabilities with respect to any Sub- Servicer except as set forth in Section

3.05.

SECTION 3.05. Assumption or Termination of

Sub-Servicing Agreement by Trust

Administrator.

In connection with the assumption of the responsibilities,

duties and liabilities and of the authority, power and rights of the Servicer

hereunder by the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section 7.02 or another

successor Servicer, it is understood and agreed that the Servicer's rights and

obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement then in force between the Servicer

and a Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Trust Administrator or

another successor Servicer without act or deed on the part of the Trust

Administrator; provided, however, that the Trust Administrator or any other

successor Servicer may terminate the Sub-Servicer.

The Servicer shall, upon the reasonable request of the Trust

Administrator, but at the expense of the Servicer, deliver to the assuming party

documents and records relating to each Sub- Servicing Agreement and an

accounting of amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best

reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the

Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.

SECTION 3.06. [Reserved].

SECTION 3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan

Payments.

The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all

payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and

shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement,

follow such collection procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage

loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent

with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late

payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest or (ii) extend the due dates

for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than

180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to this clause shall not affect

the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation

hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is

in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably

foreseeable, the Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section

3.01 may waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including

modifications that change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or

interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept

payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal

Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan (such payment, a "Short

Pay-off"), or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such

term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer's

determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not

materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into

account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action).

SECTION 3.08. [Reserved].

SECTION 3.09. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and

Similar Items; Servicing Accounts.

The Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts

(the "Servicing Accounts"), into which all collections from the Mortgagors (or

related advances from Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments,

fire, flood, and hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items for the account

of the Mortgagors ("Escrow Payments") shall be deposited and retained. Servicing

Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the Servicing

Accounts on a daily basis and in no event later than the second Business Day

after receipt, and retain therein, all Escrow Payments collected on account of

the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of any such

items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from

a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect timely payment of taxes,

assessments, fire, flood, and hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items;

(ii) reimburse the Servicer out of related collections for any advances made

pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section

3.14 (with respect to fire, flood and hazard insurance); (iii) refund to

Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if

required and

 

-62-

<PAGE>

 

 

as described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; or (v)

clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of the Servicer's

obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this

Agreement in accordance with Article IX. As part of its servicing duties, the

Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to

the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in

the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their

own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

the Servicer shall not be obligated to collect Escrow Payments if the related

Mortgage Loan does not require such payments but the Servicer shall nevertheless

be obligated to make Servicing Advances as provided in Section 3.01. In the

event the Servicer shall deposit in the Servicing Accounts any amount not

required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from

the Servicing Accounts, any provision to the contrary notwithstanding.

SECTION 3.10. Collection Account, Distribution

Account and Initial Deposit

Accounts.

(a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish

and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the "Collection

Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator

and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall

deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account on a daily basis and

in no event later than two Business Days after receipt, as and when received or

as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received

or made by it on or subsequent to the Cut-off Date:

(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal

Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;

(ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related

Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;

(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other

than proceeds collected in respect of any particular REO Property and

amounts paid by the Servicer in connection with a purchase of Mortgage

Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01);

(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section

3.12 in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments

with respect to funds held in the Collection Account;

(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer

pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any

blanket policy deductibles;

(vi) any Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount

delivered to the Servicer and all proceeds (net of amounts payable or

reimbursable to the Servicer) of Mortgage Loans purchased in accordance

with Section 9.01; and

(vii) any Prepayment Charges or amounts required to be

deposited by the Servicer in

 

-63-

<PAGE>

 

 

connection with a breach of its obligations under Section 3.01 with

respect to the waiver of Prepayment Charges.

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection

Accounts shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without

limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment

charges, assumption fees or other similar fees need not be deposited by the

Servicer in the Collection Account. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in

the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may

at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision

herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

(b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trust Administrator, as

agent for the Trustee, shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (such

account or accounts, the "Distribution Account"), held in trust for the benefit

of the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders. On behalf of the

Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator in immediately

available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account on or before 3:00 p.m.

New York time (i) on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available

Distribution Amount (calculated without regard to the references in clause (2)

of the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the Distribution

Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection

Account and the amount of all Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer in

connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans (including

the amount of any payment by the Servicer in respect of a waived Prepayment

Charge, other than as permitted in Section 3.01) then on deposit in the

Collection Account and the amount of any funds reimbursable to an Advancing

Person pursuant to Section 3.28, and (ii) on each Business Day as of the

commencement of which the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds

$75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the next succeeding sentence, the

amount of such excess, but only if the Collection Account constitutes an

Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible

Account." If the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 as

of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the Collection Account

constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition

of "Eligible Account," the Servicer shall, on or before 5:00 p.m. New York time

on such Business Day, withdraw from the Collection Account any and all amounts

payable or reimbursable to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust

Administrator, the Originator or the Seller pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall

pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto.

(c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution

Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the

provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Servicer shall give notice to the

Trustee and the Trust Administrator of the location of the Collection Account

maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Trust

Administrator shall give notice to the Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor

of the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any

change thereof.

(d) Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be

delivered by the Servicer in immediately available funds to the Trust

Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account. In the event the Servicer

shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account

any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time request that

the Trust Administrator

 

-64-

<PAGE>

 

 

withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such

amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In no event shall

the Trust Administrator incur liability as a result of withdrawals from the

Distribution Account at the direction of the Servicer in accordance with the

immediately preceding sentence. In addition, the Servicer shall deliver to the

Trust Administrator from time to time for deposit in the Distribution Account

the amounts set forth in clauses (i) through (v) below:

the Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy, or federal bankruptcy court or other

deposit such funds in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal thereof as

Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account any amounts required to be

deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with losses realized on

Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection Account.

SECTION 3.11. Withdrawals from the Collection

(vi) to reimburse the Servicer for any Advance or Servicing

Advance previously made which the Servicer has determined to be a

Nonrecoverable Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance in

accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03;

(vii) to reimburse the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses

incurred by or reimbursable to the Servicer or the Depositor, as the

The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a

withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of

it, pursuant to subclauses (ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) above. The

Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee and the Trust

making any withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclauses (vi)

and (vii) above.

SECTION 3.12. Investment of Funds in the

Investment Accounts.

(a) The Servicer may direct, by means of written directions

(which may be standing directions), any depository institution maintaining the

Collection Account to invest the funds in the Collection Account and the Trust

Administrator may direct the investment of funds in the Distribution Account

(each, for purposes of this Section 3.12, an "Investment Account") in one or

more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing,

unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately

preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such

account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trust

Administrator is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which

such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this

Agreement, if the Trust Administrator is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted

Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment

of funds shall be made in the name of the Trust Administrator (in its capacity

as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trust Administrator. The Trust

Administrator shall be entitled to sole possession over each such investment

(except with respect to investment direction of funds held in the Collection

Account) and, subject to subsection (b) below, the income thereon, and any

certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be

delivered directly to the Trust Administrator or its agent, together with any

document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trust

Administrator or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in the Collection

Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand,

the Trust Administrator shall at the direction of the Servicer:

(x) consistent with any notice required to be given

thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such

Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal

to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the

amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon

determination by a Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator that

such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment

in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment

Account.

(b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds

deposited in the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer or the

Trustee, shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its

withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.11. The Servicer shall deposit in the

Collection Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such

Permitted Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon

realization of such loss. All income and gain realized from the investment of

funds deposited in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the

Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator shall deposit in the Distribution

Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted

Investment made with funds in such account immediately upon realization of such

loss.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,

if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted

Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any

Permitted Investment, the Trust Administrator may and, subject to Section 8.01

and Section 8.02(v), shall, at the written direction of the Servicer, take such

action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including

the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

SECTION 3.13. [Reserved].

SECTION 3.14. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and

Errors and Omissions and Fidelity

Coverage.

(a) The terms of each Mortgage Note require the related

Mortgagor to maintain fire, flood and hazard insurance policies. To the extent

such policies are not maintained, the Servicer shall cause to be maintained for

each Mortgaged Property fire and hazard insurance with extended coverage as is

customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which

is at least equal to the lesser of the current principal balance of such

Mortgage Loan and the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or

loss to the improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement cost

basis, in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is necessary to

avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard

insurance policy. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire and hazard

insurance on each REO Property with extended coverage as is customary in the

area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least

equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which

are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the

related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property. The Servicer will

comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and

requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be

collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be

applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to the related

Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the

procedures that the Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own

account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and

Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to

withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan,

or in the REO Account, subject to

 

-68-

<PAGE>

 

 

withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO Property.

Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not,

for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to

the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that

the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no

earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor

other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time

be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged

Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal

Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood

hazards, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in

respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser

of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the

maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property

under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such

Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such program).

In the event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a

blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better

in Best's Key Rating Guide insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage

Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set

forth in the first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and

agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the

Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the

related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two

sentences of this Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses

which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account

from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy

because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as

administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare

and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the

Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in

accordance with the terms of such policy.

(b) The Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this

Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for

failure in the performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement,

which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the

requirements of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac if it were the purchaser of the

Mortgage Loans, unless the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements

from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall each also maintain a fidelity

bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Fannie Mae or

Freddie Mac, unless the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements

from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied

with this provision if an Affiliate of the Servicer, has such errors and

omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy

or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any

such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be

cancelable without thirty days' prior written notice to the Trustee and the

Trust Administrator.

SECTION 3.15. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses;

Assumption Agreements.

The Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any

conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor

(whether by absolute conveyance or by

 

-69-

<PAGE>

 

 

contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain

liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise its rights to

accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the "due- on-sale" clause,

if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not

exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Servicer

reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such

"due-on-sale" clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso

to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into an assumption and

modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been

conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes

liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state

law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The 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 the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note,

provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person

satisfies the then current underwriting criteria of the Servicer for mortgage

loans similar to the Mortgage Loans. In connection with any assumption or

substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow

such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general

mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned

solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and

modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the

circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued

effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected by

the Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement

will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In

connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note

(including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the

Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required

pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the

Trust Administrator that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been

completed by forwarding to the Trustee (with a copy to the Trust Administrator)

the executed original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which

document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all

purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all

other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision

of this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or

any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of

a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any

assumption which the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any

reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term "assumption" is

deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the

Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability

agreement.

SECTION 3.16. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage

Loans.

(a) The Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with

Accepted Servicing Practices, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert

the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and

continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for

collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall

be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such

proceedings; provided, however, that such costs and

 

-70-

<PAGE>

 

 

expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Servicer as

contemplated in Sections 3.11 and 3.23. The foregoing is subject to the

provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered

damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall not be required to expend its

own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in

its discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation

of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section

3.16 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan

as to which the Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge

of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged

Property, the Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust Fund, either (i) obtain

title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or

otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action

with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action,

the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Certificateholders

would be considered to hold title to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or

to be an "owner" or "operator" of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of

the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of

1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer

has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a prudent

report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using

customary industry standards, that:

(1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable

environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic

interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to

bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and

(2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged

Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous

substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based

materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment,

clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or

local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for

which such action could be required, that it would be in the best

economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect

to the affected Mortgaged Property.

The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by

this Section 3.16 shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's

right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in

Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of

Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in

respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in

the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are

necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable

environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,

clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous

wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then

the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic

interest of the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance, containment,

cleanup or remediation

 

-71-

<PAGE>

 

 

shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's right to be

reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Sections

3.11(a)(iii) or 3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the

rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account

received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.

(c) The Servicer shall have the right to purchase from REMIC I

any defaulted Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more delinquent, which the

Servicer determines in good faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure

proceedings (evidence of such determination to be delivered in writing to the

Trust Administrator and the Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the

Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee prior to purchase), at a price

equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased

hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon

receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall

release or cause to be released to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and

the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or

assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Servicer shall furnish and as

shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan released

pursuant hereto.

(d) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery

Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of

Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan,

will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the

Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances, pursuant

to Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii); second, to accrued and unpaid interest on

the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the

Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be

distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and third,

as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery

so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid

interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be

allocated by the Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and

second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of the

recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the

Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii). The portion of the recovery allocated

to interest (net of unpaid Servicing Fees) and the portion of the recovery

allocated to principal of the Mortgage Loan shall be applied as follows: first,

to reimburse the Servicer for any related unreimbursed Advances in accordance

with Section 3.11(a)(ii) and any other amounts reimbursable to the Servicer

pursuant to Section 3.11, and second, as part of the amounts to be transferred

to the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(b).

SECTION 3.17. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of

Mortgage Files.

Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt

by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a

manner customary for such purposes, the Servicer will notify the Trust

Administrator and the Trustee by a certification in the form of Exhibit E-2

(which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts

received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to

be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or

will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of

the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee

shall promptly release the related Mortgage

 

-72-

<PAGE>

 

 

File to the Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of

satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection

Account or the Distribution Account.

From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or

foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under

any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall, upon

request of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release in

the form of Exhibit E-l, release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and

the Trustee or the Servicer as attorney-in-fact of the Trustee shall, at the

direction of the Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the

prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate the

Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from the

Mortgage File to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no longer

exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation

Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection

Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney,

or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes

of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure

of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer

has delivered to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as

to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such

document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon

receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan

was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection

with such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the Collection

Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO

Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee to

the Servicer.

Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee

shall execute and deliver to the Servicer, any court pleadings, requests for

trustee's sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale

in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain

judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a

deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the

Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such

certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be

executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or

pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the

Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except

for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or

trustee's sale. So long as no Servicing Termination Event shall have occurred

and be continuing, the Servicer shall have the right to execute any and all such

court pleadings, requests and other documents as attorney-in-fact for, and on

behalf of the Trustee.

SECTION 3.18. Servicing Compensation.

As compensation for the activities of the Servicer, hereunder,

the Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each

Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such

Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition, the Servicer shall be

entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance Proceeds or

Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3.11(a)(iii) and out of

amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent

permitted by Section 3.23. Except as set forth in Section 6.04 hereof, the right

to receive the

 

-73-

<PAGE>

 

 

Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection

with the transfer of all of the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations

under this Agreement to the extent permitted herein.

Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption

fees, late payment charges and other miscellaneous fees (other than Prepayment

Charges) shall be retained by the Servicer only to the extent such fees or

charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled

pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account and

pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional

servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein,

subject to Section 3.12. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses

incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall

not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided

herein.

SECTION 3.19. Reports to the Trust Administrator

and the Trustee; Collection Account

Statements.

Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the

Servicer shall forward to the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and the Depositor

a statement prepared by the institution at which the Collection Account is

maintained setting forth the status of the Collection 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 and withdrawals from the

Collection Account of each category of deposit specified in Section 3.10(a) and

each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.11. Copies of such statement

shall be provided by the Trust Administrator to any Certificateholder and to any

Person identified to the Trust Administrator as a prospective transferee of a

Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such

statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trust Administrator.

SECTION 3.20. Statement as to Compliance.

The Servicer will deliver to, the Trust Administrator, the

Trustee and the Depositor not later than 120 days following the end of the

fiscal year of the Servicer, which as of the Closing Date ends on the last day

in December, an Officers' Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof,

that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer during the preceding year

and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers'

supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such

review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of 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 any such statement shall be provided by the

Trust Administrator to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the

Trust Administrator as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request

at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by

the Servicer to the Trust Administrator.

SECTION 3.21. Independent Public Accountants'

Servicing Report.

Not later than 120 days following the end of each fiscal year

of the Servicer (which, as of the Closing Date, ends on the last day of

December), the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally

 

-74-

<PAGE>

 

 

recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the

Servicer a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation

regarding certain matters from the management of the Servicer which includes an

assertion that the Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential

mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single Attestation

Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of

America, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the

most recently completed fiscal year and (ii) on the basis of an examination

conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by the American

Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated

in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications

that may be appropriate. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Servicer

shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and

each Rating Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trust

Administrator to any Certificateholder upon request at the Servicer's expense,

provided that such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trust

Administrator.

SECTION 3.22. Access to Certain Documentation.

The Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift

Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance

regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder,

access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable

laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only

upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the

Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding

the Mortgage Loans will be provided to any Certificateholder, the Trustee, the

Trust Administrator and to any Person identified to the Servicer, as a

prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon reasonable request during normal

business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it at the expense of

the Person requesting such access.

SECTION 3.23. Title, Management and Disposition of

REO Property.

(a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall

be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, on behalf of the Trust Fund

and for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Servicer, on behalf of REMIC

I, shall either sell any REO Property by the close of the third calendar year

following the calendar year in which REMIC I acquires ownership of such REO

Property for purposes of Section 860(a)(8) of the Code or request from the

Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the day on which the

three-year grace period would otherwise expire an extension of the three-year

grace period, unless the Servicer had delivered to the Trust Administrator and

the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trust Administrator, the

Trustee and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by REMIC I of such REO

Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition will not result in the

imposition on any Trust REMIC created hereunder of taxes on "prohibited

transactions" thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any

Trust REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any

time that any Certificates are outstanding. The 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

REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of

Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC

created hereunder of any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning

of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the

 

-75-

<PAGE>

 

 

Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation

under the REMIC Provisions.

(b) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected

and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and

apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain

with respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee, on

behalf of the Trust Fund and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the "REO

Account"), which shall be an Eligible Account. The Servicer shall be permitted

to allow the Collection Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate

ledgers for each REO Property. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain or

withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account.

(c) The Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject

only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any

and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the

manner in which the Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the

Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the

Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection

therewith, the Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, on a daily

basis in the REO Account all revenues received by it with respect to an REO

Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation,

management and maintenance of such REO Property including, without limitation:

(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such

REO Property;

(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such

REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and

(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO

Property.

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with

respect to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in

clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer

shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes

if, but only if, the Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the

REO Property and if in the Servicer's judgment, the payment of such amounts will

be recoverable from the rental or sale of the REO Property.

Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations as

shall at any time be in force, and notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer

shall not:

(i) permit the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any

New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its

terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from

Real Property;

(ii) permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New

Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;

 

-76-

<PAGE>

 

 

(iii) authorize or permit any construction on any REO

Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement

thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the construction of

such building or other improvement was completed before default on the

related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of

Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

(iv) allow any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on

any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the Trust

Fund;

unless, in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel,

provided to the Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, to the effect

that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as

"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at

any time that it is held by REMIC I, in which case the Servicer may take such

actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

The Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for

the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:

(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be

inconsistent herewith;

(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered

to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses

incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO

Property, including those listed above and remit all related revenues

(net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer as soon as

practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the

receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating

to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent

Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Servicer of any of its duties

and obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund and for the

benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and

management of any such REO Property; and

(iv) the Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to

the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and

obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO

Property.

The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement

with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties

and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such

Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit

or modify such indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees

owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the

Servicer's compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees.

(d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section

3.23(c), the Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO

Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself unpaid

 

-77-

<PAGE>

 

 

Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse

itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made

in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Servicer

Remittance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by

it and deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance with Section

3.10(d)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance

with Section 4.01, the income from the related REO Property received during the

prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or

this Section 3.23(d).

(e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section

3.23(a), each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Servicer at such price

and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer shall deem necessary or

advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its Accepted Servicing Practices.

(f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount

required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan

and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Servicer as provided above, shall

be deposited in the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii)

on the Servicer Remittance Date in the month following the receipt thereof for

distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01.

Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC

Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other

consideration).

(g) The Servicer shall file information returns with respect

to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of

foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of

indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by

Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such reports shall be

in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by

such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

SECTION 3.24. Obligations of the Servicer in

Respect of Prepayment Interest

Shortfalls.

The Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for

deposit into the Distribution Account on or before 5:00 p.m. New York time on

the Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds an amount equal to the lesser of

(i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls attributable to

prepayments in full for the related Distribution Date resulting solely from

Principal Prepayments received by the Servicer during the related Prepayment

Period and (ii) 50% of its aggregate Servicing Fee for the most recently ended

Prepayment Period. The Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for

any amounts remitted to the Trust Administrator in respect of this Section 3.24.

The Servicer shall not be obligated to pay the amounts set forth in this Section

3.24 with respect to Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.

SECTION 3.25. [Reserved].

SECTION 3.26. Obligations of the Servicer in

Respect of Mortgage Rates and

Monthly Payments.

 

-78-

<PAGE>

 

 

In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or

liability with respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to

adjustments to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances

that were made by the Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the

related Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or

receipt of notice thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Trust Administrator

for deposit in the Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any

such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trust

Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor and any successor Servicer in respect

of any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination or

discharge of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.27. Net Wac Rate Carryover Reserve

Account.

(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator

shall establish and maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, a separate,

segregated trust account titled, "Net Wac Rate Carryover Reserve Account,

Citibank, N.A., as agent for U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, in

trust for the registered holders of Salomon Brothers Mortgage Securities VII,

Inc., Salomon Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2002-WMC2, Asset Backed

Pass-Through Certificates." On the Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit, or

cause to be deposited, into the Net Wac Rate Carryover Reserve Account, $1,000.

(b) On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC

Rate Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine

Certificates, the Trust Administrator has been directed by the Class CE

Certificateholders to, and therefore will, deposit into the Net Wac Rate

Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described in Section 4.01(a)(5)(xiii),

rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. On

each such Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall hold all such amounts

for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine

Certificates, and will distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class A

Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in the amounts and priorities set

forth in Section 4.01(a). If no Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts are payable on a

Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall deposit into the Net Wac Rate

Carryover Reserve Account on behalf of the Class CE Certificateholders, from

amounts otherwise distributable to the Class CE Certificateholders, an amount

such that when added to other amounts already on deposit in the Net Wac Rate

Carryover Reserve Account, the aggregate amount on deposit therein is equal to

$1,000.

(c) For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE

Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Net Wac Rate Carryover

Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the Net Wac Rate Carryover

Reserve Account (other than the initial deposit therein of $1,000) shall be

treated as amounts distributed by REMIC II to the Holders of the Class CE

Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full of

the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, all amounts remaining

on deposit in the Net Wac Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be released by the

Trust Fund and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders or their

designees. The Net Wac Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be part of the Trust

Fund but not part of any Trust REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the

Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover

Amounts will not be payments with respect to a "regular interest" in a REMIC

within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).

<PAGE>

 

 

(d) By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE

Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trust Administrator, and the Trust

Administrator hereby is directed to deposit into the Net Wac Rate Carryover

Reserve Account the amounts described above on each Distribution Date as to

which there is any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount rather than distributing such

amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE Certificate,

each Class CE Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for

good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is

acknowledged by such acceptance.

(e) At the direction of the Holders of a majority in

Percentage Interest in the Class CE Certificates, the Trust Administrator shall

direct any depository institution maintaining the Net Wac Rate Carryover Reserve

Account to invest the funds in such account in one or more Permitted Investments

bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand,

(i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such

funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement,

if a Person other than the Trust Administrator or an Affiliate manages or

advises such investment, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are

required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the

Trust Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. If no

investment direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the

Class CE Certificates with respect to the Net Wac Rate Carryover Reserve Account

is received by the Trust Administrator, the Trust Administrator shall invest the

funds in such account in Permitted Investments managed by the Trust

Administrator or an Affiliate of the kind described in clause (vi) of the

definition of Permitted Investments. All income and gain earned upon such

investment shall be deposited into the Net Wac Rate Carryover Reserve Account.

(f) For federal tax return and information reporting, the

right of the Class A Certificateholders and the Mezzanine Certificateholders to

receive payments from the Net Wac Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect of

any Net Wac Rate Carryover Amount shall be assigned a value of zero.

SECTION 3.28. Advance Facility.

(a) The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a

financing or other facility (any such arrangement, an "Advance Facility"), the

documentation for which complies with Section 3.28(e) below, under which (1) the

Servicer assigns or pledges its rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for

any or all Advances and/or Servicing Advances to (i) a special-purpose

bankruptcy-remote entity (an "SPV") (or to a Person, who simultaneously assigns

or pledges such rights to an SPV) or (ii) a lender (a "Lender"), which, in the

case of an SPV, in turn, directly or through other assignees and/or pledgees,

assigns or pledges such rights to a Person, which may include a trustee acting

on behalf of holders of debt instruments (any such Person or any such Lender, an

"Advance Financing Person"), and/or (2) an Advance Financing Person agrees to

fund some or all Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the

Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee,

Certificateholders or any other party shall be required before the Servicer may

enter into an Advance Facility nor shall the Trustee or the Certificateholders

be a third party beneficiary of any obligation of an Advance Financing Person to

the Servicer. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which

an Advance Financing

 

-80-

<PAGE>

 

 

Person agrees to fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances, the Servicer shall

remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make Advances and/or Servicing

Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement, and shall not be

relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility. If a Servicer

enters into an Advance Facility, and for so long as an Advance Financing Person

remains entitled to receive reimbursement for any Advances and/or Servicing

Advances outstanding and previously unreimbursed pursuant to this Agreement,

then, to the extent prohibited under such Advance Facility, such Servicer shall

not be permitted to reimburse itself for Advances and/or Servicing Advances

pursuant to Section 3.11(a) of this Agreement, but instead such Servicer's

assignee and the designee (the "Servicer's Assignee") shall have the right to

receive from the Collection Account collections that such Servicer would

otherwise have the right to receive from the Collection Account pursuant to said

Section 3.11(a) of this Agreement, amounts available to reimburse previously

unreimbursed Advances and/or Servicing Advances ("Advance Reimbursement

Amounts").

(b) If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, the

Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person shall deliver to the Trustee a

written notice of the existence of such Advance Facility (an "Advance Facility

Notice"), stating the identity of the Advance Financing Person and the

Servicer's Assignee, and specifying what Advances and/or Servicing Advances are

covered by the Advance Facility. An Advance Facility may be terminated by the

joint written direction of the Servicer and the related Advance Financing

Person.

(c) Advance Reimbursement Amounts (i) shall consist solely of

amounts in respect of Advances and/or Servicing Advances for which the Servicer

would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with Section 3.11(a)

hereof, assuming the Servicer had made the related Advance(s) and/or Servicing

Advance(s) and (ii) shall not consist of amounts payable to a successor Servicer

in accordance with Section 3.11(a) to the extent permitted under Section 3.28(e)

below.

(d) An Advance Financing Person who receives an assignment or

pledge of rights to receive Advance Reimbursement Amounts and/or whose

obligations are limited to the funding of Advances and/or Servicing Advances

pursuant to an Advance Facility shall not be required to meet the criteria for

qualification as a Sub-Servicer.

(e) As between a predecessor Servicer and its Advance

Financing Person, on the one hand, and a successor Servicer and its Advance

Financing Person if any, on the other hand, Advance Reimbursement Amounts on a

loan-by-loan basis with respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which an Advance

and/or Servicing Advance shall have been made and be outstanding shall be

allocated on a "first-in, first out" ("FIFO") basis. In the event that some or

all of an Advance Reimbursement Amount related to Advances and/or Servicing

Advances that were made by a Person other than such predecessor Servicer or its

related Advance Financing Person shall have been paid in error to the Servicer's

Assignee related to such predecessor Servicer, then such Servicer's Assignee

shall be required to remit any portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount to

each Person entitled to such portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount. At

any time when an Advance Financing Person shall have ceased funding Advances

and/or Servicing Advances, including without limitation a servicing transfer

pursuant to Article VII, and the Servicer's Assignee shall have received from

the Collection Account Advance Reimbursement

 

-81-

<PAGE>

 

 

Amounts sufficient to reimburse all Advances and/or Servicing Advances, the

right to reimbursement for which were assigned to the Servicer's Assignee, then

the Servicer's Assignee and the Advance Financing Person and the Servicer

related to such Servicer's Assignee and Advance Financing Person shall deliver a

written notice to the Trustee terminating the Advance Facility. Without limiting

the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall remain entitled to be

reimbursed by the Advance Financing Person for all Advances and/or Servicing

Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related Advance Reimbursement

Amounts have not been assigned or pledged to such Advance Financing Person or

Servicer's Assignee.

(f) For purposes of any certification of a Servicing Officer

of the Servicer made pursuant to Section 4.06(iii), any Nonrecoverable Advance

or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance referred to therein may have been made by

such Servicer or any predecessor Servicer. In making its determination that any

Advance or Servicing Advance theretofore made has become a Nonrecoverable

Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Servicer shall apply the same

criteria in making such determination regardless of whether such Advance or

Servicing Advance shall have been made by the Servicer or any predecessor

Servicer.

On each Distribution Date, after making the distributions of

the Available Distribution Amount as set forth above, the Trust Administrator

will FIRST, withdraw from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account all income

distribute such amount to the Class CE Certificates, and SECOND, withdraw from

Class of Certificates.

(b) On each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall

withdraw any amounts then on deposit in the Distribution Account that represent

Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer in connection with the Principal

Prepayment of any of the Mortgage Loans or any Servicer Prepayment Charge

Payment Amount and shall distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class P

Interest. Such distributions shall not be applied to reduce the Certificate

Principal Balance of the Class P Interest.

(c) All distributions made with respect to each Class of

Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated PRO RATA among the

outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage

Interests. Payments in respect of each Class of Certificates on each

Distribution Date will be made to the Holders of the respective Class of record

on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(e) or

Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the

aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates, and

shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of

any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities

therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in

writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior

to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Certificates having an

initial aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount that is in

excess of the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) two-thirds of the initial

Certificate Principal Balance

 

-88-

or Notional Amount of such Class of Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed

by first class mail to the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate

Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like

manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the

Corporate Trust Office of the Trust Administrator or such other location

specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate

shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be

responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its

Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each

Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to

the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating

brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which

it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds

to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trust Administrator,

the Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer shall have any responsibility

therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable law.

(d) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive

distributions in respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the

Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this

Agreement. None of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, the Trust

Administrator, the Trustee or the Servicer shall in any way be responsible or

liable to the Holders of any other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts

properly previously distributed on the Certificates.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the

Trust Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to any

Class of Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trust

Administrator shall, no later than three (3) days before the related

Distribution Date, mail to each Holder on such date of such Class of

Certificates a notice to the effect that:

(i) the Trust Administrator expects that the final

distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on

such Distribution Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such

Certificates at the office of the Trust Administrator therein

specified, and

(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and

after the end of the related Interest Accrual Period.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of

Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of

such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set

aside and held in trust by the Trust Administrator and credited to the account

of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to

which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(e) shall not have been

surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such

notice, the Trust Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining

non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for

cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If

within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have

been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall, directly or

through an agent, mail a final notice to the remaining non-tendering

Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates but shall

 

-89-

continue to hold any remaining funds for the benefit of non-tendering

Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and

of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining

in such trust fund. If within one year after the final notice any such

Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust

Administrator shall pay to Salomon Smith Barney Inc. all such amounts, and all

rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon

cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any

amount held in trust by the Trust Administrator as a result of such

Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment

thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(e). Any such amounts held in trust

by the Trust Administrator shall be held in an Eligible Account and the Trust

Administrator may direct any depository institution maintaining such account to

invest the funds in one or more Permitted Investments. All income and gain

realized from the investment of funds deposited in such accounts held in trust

by the Trust Administrator shall be for the benefit of the Trust Administrator;

provided, however, that the Trust Administrator shall deposit in such account

the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted

Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon the realization of

such loss.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no

event shall the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class A Certificate or a

Mezzanine Certificate be reduced more than once in respect of any particular

amount allocated to such Certificate in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to

Section 4.04 and (ii) in no event shall the Uncertificated Balance of a REMIC I

Regular Interest be reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount

both (a) allocated to such REMIC I Regular Interest in respect of Realized

Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b) distributed on such REMIC I Regular

Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated Balance thereof pursuant to this

Section 4.01.
