tax purposes of all REMIC regular   interests   created   hereby will be the Latest

Possible Maturity Date.

 

         The following   table sets forth   characteristics   of the   Certificates,

together with the minimum denominations and integral multiples in excess thereof

                                   DEFINITIONS

 

         Whenever   used in this   Agreement,   the   following   words and   phrases,

unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the following meanings:

 

         Accrued Certificate Interest: For any Class of Certificates entitled to

distributions of interest for any Distribution Date, the interest accrued during

the related Interest Accrual Period at the applicable   Pass-Through   Rate on the

Class   Certificate   Balance of such Class of Certificates   immediately   prior to

such   Distribution   Date, less such Class' share of any Net Interest   Shortfall,

allocable   among the outstanding   Classes of Senior   Certificates of the related

Certificate   Group   based   on   the   Accrued    Certificate    Interest    otherwise

distributable   thereto, and allocable to the Subordinated   Certificates based on

interest accrued on their related Apportioned Principal Balances.

 

         Adjusted   Mortgage Rate: As to each Mortgage Loan, and at any time, the

per annum rate equal to the Mortgage Rate less the Master Servicing Fee Rate.

 

         Adjusted Net Mortgage   Rate: As to each Mortgage Loan, and at any time,

the per annum rate equal to the Mortgage Rate less the related Expense Fee Rate.

 

         Advance:   The payment   required to be made by the Master   Servicer with

respect to any Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.1, the amount of any such

payment   being equal to the aggregate of payments of principal and interest (net

of the   Master   Servicing   Fee and net of any net   income in the case of any REO

Property)   on the   Mortgage   Loans that were due on the related Due Date and not

received as of the close of business on the related Determination Date, less the

aggregate   amount of any such   delinquent   payments that the Master Servicer has

determined would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance if advanced.

 

         Agreement:   This Pooling and Servicing   Agreement and all amendments or

supplements hereto.

 

         Allocable Share: With respect to any Class of Subordinated Certificates

on any   Distribution   Date,   such   Class'   pro rata   share   (based   on the Class

applicable   Class PO Deferred   Amount on such   Distribution   Date,   and any such

reduction   in the   applicable   Subordinate   Optimal   Principal   Amount   for each

Mortgage Pool shall reduce the amounts calculated   pursuant to clauses (1), (4),

(2),   (3) and   (5) of the   definition   thereof,   in that   order,   and the   Class

Certificate Balances of each Class of Subordinated   Certificates will be reduced

by such   amounts   in   reverse   order of   priority   until   the   respective   Class

to zero;   provided   further,   that,   except as   provided in this   Agreement,   no

Subordinated   Certificates   (other than the Class of   Subordinated   Certificates

Date to   receive   distributions   pursuant   to   clauses   (2),   (3) and (5) of the

definition of Subordinated   Optimal Principal Amount unless the Class Prepayment
