Mortgage Rate on the Cut-off Date Principal
Balance of such Loan (the "Initial
Certificate Account Deposit"). The Sellers,
for the benefit of the Depositor,
shall, in connection with the conveyance
described in this Section 2.01(a),
deliver to the Depositor on or prior to the
Closing Date the financing
statements described in Schedule VI. The
Sellers shall also arrange for the
delivery to the Depositor or its assignee,
as applicable, of any appropriate
Uniform Commercial Code continuation
statements as may be necessary in
connection with the financing statements
referenced in the foregoing sentence.
(b) The Depositor, concurrently with
the execution and delivery hereof,
hereby irrevocably sells, transfers,
grants, bargains, assigns, sets over and
otherwise conveys to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders,
without recourse, all the right, title and
interest of the Depositor in and to
the Trust Fund together with the
Depositor's right to require the Sellers (and
Equity One-Delaware) to cure any breach of
a representation or warranty made
herein by the Sellers or to repurchase or
substitute for any affected Loan in
accordance with the provisions hereof. In
addition, the Depositor, for the
benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, shall, in connection with
the conveyance
40
<PAGE>
described in this Section 2.01(b), deliver
to the Trustee on or prior to the
Closing Date the financing statements
described in Schedule VII. The Depositor
shall also arrange for the delivery to the
Trustee of any appropriate Uniform
Commercial Code continuation statements as
may be necessary in connection with
the financing statements referenced in the
foregoing sentence.
(c) In connection with the sale,
transfer and assignment set forth in
clause (b) above, the Depositor has
delivered or caused to be delivered to the
Trustee or a Custodian for the Trustee on
or before the Closing Date, or shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee or a Custodian for the Trustee
on or before such later date as is set
forth below, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders the following documents
or instruments with respect to each
Loan so sold, transferred and assigned:
(i) the original
Mortgage Note endorsed (by manual or facsimile
signature) as follows:
"Pay to the order of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as
trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders of Popular ABS, Inc.
Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates Series 2005-D without recourse," with all
intervening
endorsements and all riders and modifications showing a
complete
chain of endorsement
from the originator to the Person endorsing it to the
Trustee (each such
endorsement being sufficient to transfer all right, title
and interest of the
party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof,
in and to that
Mortgage Note);
(ii) except as
provided below, the original recorded Mortgage;
(iii) an original
recorded assignment of the Mortgage (which may be
included in a blanket
assignment or assignments), duly executed by the
appropriate Seller and
the Depositor, which assignment will not be delivered
on or before the
Closing Date, but shall be delivered within the time period
set forth in this
Section 2.01, together with, except as provided below, all
interim recorded
assignments of such Mortgage, if any, all riders or
modifications to such
Mortgage, if any, (each such assignment to be in
recordable form and
sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to
the assignee thereof,
under the Mortgage to which the assignment relates,
with the original to
be recorded by the Servicer as follows: the Servicer
shall promptly send
such assignments for recording, and shall return the
original recorded
assignment to the Trustee once returned as recorded by the
applicable recording
office);
(iv)
the original of each
assumption, modification, written assurance
or substitution
agreement, if any; and
(v) except as provided
below, the original or duplicate original
lender's title policy
and all riders thereto.
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in lieu of providing the documents described
in clause (iii) above, the Depositor may at
its discretion provide evidence
that the related Mortgage is held through
the MERS (R) System. With respect to
any MOM Loan, the original recorded
Mortgage that is provided shall note the
MIN of such MOM Loan. Certain Mortgages
were or may be, at the sole discretion
of the Servicer, originally recorded in the
name of MERS (R), solely as nominee
for the applicable Seller and its
successors or assigns; furthermore,
subsequent assignments of such Mortgages
were or may be, at the sole discretion
of the Servicer, registered electronically
through the MERS (R) System. For
certain other Loans, (i) the Mortgage was
recorded in the name of the Seller,
(ii) record ownership was later assigned to
MERS (R), solely as nominee for
that Seller, and (iii) subsequent
assignments of the Mortgage were or may be,
at the sole discretion of the Servicer,
registered electronically through the
MERS (R) System.
41
<PAGE>
For each of these Loans, MERS (R) serves as
mortgagee of record on the Mortgage
solely as a nominee in an administrative
capacity on behalf of the Trustee, and
does not have any beneficial interest in
the Loan.
In the event that in
connection with any Loan the Depositor cannot deliver
(a) the original recorded Mortgage, (b) all
interim recorded assignments, if
any, or (c) the lender's title policy
(together with all riders thereto)
satisfying the requirements of clause (ii),
(iii) or (v) above, respectively,
concurrently with the execution and
delivery hereof because such document or
documents have not been returned from the
applicable public recording office in
the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, or
because the title policy has not
been delivered to either the Servicer or
the Depositor by the applicable title
insurer in the case of clause (v) above,
and, in the case of the assignments,
if any, of the Mortgage to the Trustee as
required under (iii) above, the
Depositor shall promptly deliver to the
Trustee, in the case of clause (ii) or
(iii) above, such original recorded
Mortgage or such original recorded
assignment, if any, as the case may be,
with evidence of recording indicated
thereon upon receipt thereof from the
public recording office, or a copy
thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the
relevant recording office, but in no
event shall any such delivery of the
original recorded Mortgage and each such
original recorded assignment, if any, or a
copy thereof, certified, if
appropriate, by the relevant recording
office, and each title policy as
required by clause (v) above be made later
than one year following the Closing
Date; provided, however, in the event the
Depositor is unable to deliver within
one year following the Closing Date, each
original recorded Mortgage, and each
such original recorded assignment, if any,
or each such title policy by reason
of the fact that any such documents have
not been returned by the appropriate
recording office, or, in the case of each
such assignment, if any, because the
related original recorded Mortgage or any
related interim recorded assignment
have not been returned by the appropriate
recording office or, in the case of
each title policy, because the title
insurer has not received the recording
information from the appropriate recording
office for such original recorded
Mortgage or original recorded assignment,
if any, has not been returned by the
appropriate recording office, the Depositor
shall deliver such documents to the
Trustee as promptly as possible upon
receipt thereof and, in any event, within
720 days following the Closing Date. The
Depositor shall forward or cause to be
forwarded to the Trustee (a) from time to
time additional original documents
evidencing an assumption or modification of
a Loan and (b) any other documents
required to be delivered by the Depositor
or the Servicer to the Trustee. In
the event that the original recorded
Mortgage is not delivered and, in
connection with the payment in full of the
related Loan, the public recording
office requires the presentation of a "lost
instruments affidavit and
indemnity" or any equivalent document,
because only a copy of the Mortgage can
be delivered with the instrument of
satisfaction or reconveyance, the Servicer
shall execute and deliver or cause to be
executed and delivered such a document
to the public recording office. In the case
where a public recording office
retains the original recorded Mortgage or
in the case where an original
recorded Mortgage is lost after recordation
in a public recording office, the
appropriate Seller shall deliver to the
Trustee a copy of such Mortgage
certified by such public recording office
to be a true and complete copy of the
original recorded Mortgage.
As promptly as
practicable subsequent to such transfer and assignment, and
in any event, within thirty (30) days
thereafter, the Servicer shall (i) affix
the Trustee's name to each assignment of
Mortgage, if any, as the assignee
thereof as Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, (ii) cause such
assignment, if any, to be in proper form
for recording in the appropriate
public office for real property records and
(iii) cause to be delivered for
recording in the appropriate public office
for real property records the
assignments, if any, of the Mortgages to
the Trustee, except that, with respect
to any assignments of Mortgages as to which
the information required to prepare
such assignment in recordable form has not
yet been received, the Servicer's
obligation to do so and to deliver the same
for such recording shall be as soon
as practicable after receipt of such
information and in any event within thirty
(30) days after receipt thereof.
42

In the case of Loans
that have been prepaid in full as of the Closing Date,
the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the
above documents to the Trustee, will
deposit in the Certificate Account the
portion of such payment that is required
to be deposited in the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof.
(d) The Depositor, the Sellers, the
Servicer and the Trustee understand
and agree that it is not intended that any
Loan be included in the Trust Fund
that is a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined
by the Homeownership and Equity
Protection Act of 1994 or any other
applicable predatory or abusive lending
laws.
SECTION 2.02.
Acceptance by Trustee of the Trust Fund.
The Trustee
acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the initial
certification in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit D and declares that it
holds and will hold such documents and the
other documents delivered to it
constituting the Mortgage Files, and that
it holds or will hold such other
assets as are included in the Trust Fund,
in trust for the exclusive use and
benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges
that it will maintain possession of the
Mortgage Notes in the State of Texas,
unless otherwise permitted by the Rating
Agencies. In the event that the
Trustee desires to maintain possession of
the Mortgage Notes in a state (other
than the State of Texas) constituting one
of the United States of America, the
Trustee shall, at least thirty (30) days
prior to discontinuing possession of
the Mortgage Notes in the State of Texas,
provide (i) a notice of such
intention to the Rating Agencies and the
Sellers and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel
stating that such relocation of the
Mortgage Notes and the possession by the
Trustee of the Mortgage Notes in such other
state will not (a) destroy or
impair the perfection by the Trustee of the
security interests assigned and
granted to the Trustee pursuant to the
provisions of Section 10.04 or (b)
subject any REMIC to any state tax.
The Trustee agrees to
execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Sellers an
initial certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit D. Based on its
review and examination, and only as
to the documents identified in such initial
certification, the Trustee shall
acknowledge that such documents appear
regular on their face and relate to the
Loans listed in the Loan Schedule or shall
indicate any noted deviations. The
Trustee, at the time of delivery of the
initial certification, shall be under
no duty or obligation (i) to inspect,
review or examine said documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers
to determine that the same are
genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the
represented purpose or that they
have actually been recorded in the real
estate records or that they are other
than what they purport to be on their face
or (ii) to determine whether the
Mortgage File shall include any of the
documents listed in Section 2.01(c),
except for the Mortgage Note. Should there
be any exceptions to the Trustee's
initial certification as to the Mortgage
Notes, the appropriate Seller shall
have thirty (30) days from the Closing Date
to cure such exception or deliver a
Mortgage File or Mortgage Files for a
Substitute Loan or Substitute Loans in
accordance with Section 2.03(c). A Seller
may cure an exception based on
absence of a Mortgage Note for a Loan by
delivering an executed copy of an
Affidavit of Lost Note in the form attached
as Annex I to Exhibit D hereto to
the Trustee.
Not later than 90 days
after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to
the Depositor, the Servicer and the Sellers
a final certification in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit E, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon. At
any time upon request (but not more
frequently than once per calendar month),
the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor,
the Servicer and the Sellers, an
updated schedule of open exceptions in
electronic or written format.
If the Trustee finds
any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File
which does not meet the requirements of
Section 2.01, the Trustee shall list
such as an exception in the final
certification;
43
<PAGE>
provided, however that the Trustee shall
not make any determination as to
whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient
to transfer all right, title and
interest of the party so endorsing, as
noteholder or assignee thereof, in and
to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any
assignment is in recordable form or is
sufficient to effect the assignment of and
transfer to the assignee thereof
under the mortgage to which the assignment
relates. In performing any such
review, the Trustee may conclusively rely
on the Depositor as to the purported
genuineness of any such document and any
signature thereon. It is understood
that the scope of the Trustee's review of
the Mortgage Files is limited solely
to confirming that the documents listed in
Section 2.01(c) have been received
and further confirming that any and all
documents delivered pursuant to Section
2.01(c) have been executed and relate to
the Loans identified in the Loan
Schedule. The Trustee shall have no
responsibility for determining whether any
document is valid and binding, whether the
text of any assignment or
endorsement is in proper or recordable
form, whether any document has been
recorded in accordance with the
requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or
whether a blanket assignment is permitted
in any applicable jurisdiction. The
appropriate Seller shall promptly correct
or cure such defect within 90 days
from the date it was so notified of such
defect and, if such Seller does not
correct or cure such defect within such
period, such Seller shall either (a)
substitute for the related Loan a
Substitute Loan, which substitution shall be
accomplished in the manner and subject to
the conditions set forth in Section
2.03, or (b) purchase such Loan from the
Trustee within 90 days from the date
such Seller was notified of such defect in
writing at the Purchase Price of
such Loan; provided, however, that in no
event shall such substitution or
purchase occur more than 540 days from the
Closing Date, except that if the
substitution or purchase of a Loan pursuant
to this provision is required by
reason of a delay in delivery of any
comments by the appropriate recording
office, and there is a dispute between
either the Servicer or such Seller and
the Trustee over the location or status of
the recorded document, then such
substitution or purchase shall occur within
720 days from the Closing Date;
provided, that any Loan that does not
constitute a "qualified mortgage" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code shall be subject to a
substitution or repurchase as provided in
Section 2.05(b) of this Agreement.
The Trustee shall deliver a report to each
Rating Agency within 720 days from
the Closing Date indicating a list of all
documents in each Mortgage File in
the possession of the Trustee. Any such
substitution pursuant to (a) above or
purchase pursuant to (b) above shall not be
effected prior to the delivery to
the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel
required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any,
and any substitution pursuant to (a) above
shall not be effected prior to the
additional delivery to the Trustee of a
Request for Release substantially in
the form of Exhibit J. No substitution is
permitted to be made in any calendar
month after the Determination Date for such
month. The Purchase Price for any
such Loan shall be deposited by such Seller
in the Certificate Account on or
prior to the Distribution Account Deposit
Date for the Distribution Date in the
month following the month of repurchase
and, upon receipt of such deposit and
certification with respect thereto in the
form of Exhibit J, the Trustee shall
release the related Mortgage File to such
Seller and shall execute and deliver
at such Seller's request such instruments
of transfer or assignment prepared by
such Seller, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to vest in
such Seller, or a designee, the Trustee's
interest in any Loan released
pursuant hereto.
If, pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, a Seller repurchases a Loan that
is registered on the MERS (R) System, the
Servicer shall cause MERS (R) to
execute and deliver an assignment of the
related Mortgage in recordable form to
transfer the Mortgage from MERS (R) to such
Seller and shall cause such
Mortgage to be removed from registration on
the MERS (R) System in accordance
with MERS' (R) rules and regulations or
(ii) cause MERS (R) to designate on the
MERS (R) System the Seller as the
beneficial holder of such Loan.
The Trustee shall
retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in
accordance with and subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein. The
Servicer shall promptly deliver to the
Trustee, upon the execution or receipt
thereof, the originals of such other
documents or instruments constituting the
Mortgage File as come into the possession
of the Servicer from time to time.
44
<PAGE>
It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the appropriate Seller to
substitute for or to purchase any Loan
which does not meet the requirements of
Section 2.01 above shall constitute the
sole and exclusive remedy respecting
such defect available to the Trustee, the
Depositor and any Certificateholder
against any Seller.
SECTION 2.03.
Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Sellers and
the Servicer.
(a) (i) Equity One-Delaware, Equity
One-Pennsylvania, Equity One-
Minnesota, Equity
One-New Hampshire, Popular Funding and Popular Financial,
in their capacities as
Sellers, hereby make the representations and
warranties set forth
in Schedules IIA through IIF respectively, and by this
reference incorporated
herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the
Closing Date or if so
specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date; and
(ii) The Servicer
hereby makes the representations and warranties set
forth in Schedule IIX,
and by this reference incorporated herein, to the
Depositor and the
Trustee, as of the Closing Date or if so specified
therein, as of the
Cut-off Date.
(b) Equity One-Delaware, Equity
One-Pennsylvania, Equity One-Minnesota,
Equity One-New Hampshire, Popular Funding
and Popular Financial, in their
capacities as Sellers, hereby make the
representations and warranties set forth
in Schedules IIIA through IIIF
respectively, and by this reference incorporated
herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee,
as of the Closing Date or if so
specified therein, as of the Cut-off
Date.
(c) Upon discovery by any of the
parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or warranty made pursuant to
Section 2.03(b) that materially and
adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders in any Loan, the
party discovering such breach shall give
prompt notice thereof to the other
parties. Each Seller, for itself and not
jointly and severally for all other
Sellers, hereby covenants that within 90
days of the earlier of its discovery
or its receipt of written notice from any
party of a breach of any
representation or warranty made pursuant to
Section 2.03(b) with respect to any
Loan listed on the Loan Schedule that
pertains to such Seller, such Seller may,
and if such breach materially and adversely
affects the interests of the
Certificateholders such Seller shall, cure
such breach in all material
respects, and if such breach is not so
cured, may or shall, as the case may be,
(i) if such 90-day period expires prior to
the second anniversary of the
Closing Date, remove such Loan (a "DELETED
LOAN") from the Trust Fund and
substitute in its place a Substitute Loan,
in the manner and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Section or
(ii) repurchase the affected Loan or
Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase
Price in the manner set forth below;
provided, however, that any such
substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not
be effected prior to the delivery to the
Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel
required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any,
and any such substitution pursuant to
(i) above shall not be effected prior to
the additional delivery to the Trustee
of a Request for Release substantially in
the form of Exhibit J and the
Mortgage File for any such Substitute Loan.
Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, any Loan that does not constitute
a "qualified mortgage" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code
shall be subject to substitution or
repurchase as provided in Section 2.05(b)
of this Agreement. The appropriate
Seller shall promptly reimburse the
Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses
reasonably incurred by the Servicer or the
Trustee in respect of enforcing the
remedies for such breach. With respect to
the representations and warranties
described in this Section which are made to
the best of a Seller's knowledge,
if it is discovered by either the
Depositor, the appropriate Seller or the
Trustee that the substance of such
representation and warranty is inaccurate
and such inaccuracy materially and
adversely affects the value of the related
Loan or the interests of the
Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding such
Seller's lack of knowledge with
45
<PAGE>
respect to the substance of such
representation or warranty, such inaccuracy
shall be deemed a breach by such Seller of
the applicable representation or
warranty.
With respect to any
Substitute Loan or Loans, such Seller shall deliver to
the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, the Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage, the related assignment of the
Mortgage, if any, and such other
documents and agreements as are required by
Section 2.01, with the Mortgage
Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as
required by Section 2.01. No
substitution is permitted to be made in any
calendar month after the
Determination Date for such month.
Scheduled Payments due with respect to
Substitute Loans in the month of
substitution shall not be part of the Trust
Fund and will be retained by the
appropriate Seller on the next succeeding
Distribution Date. For the month of
substitution, distributions to the relevant
Class will include the monthly payment due
on any Deleted Loan for such month
and thereafter the appropriate Seller shall
be entitled to retain all amounts
received in respect of such Deleted Loan.
The Servicer shall amend the Loan
Schedule for the benefit of the
Certificateholders to reflect the removal of
such Deleted Loan and the substitution of
the Substitute Loan or Loans and the
Servicer shall deliver the amended Loan
Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such
substitution, the Substitute Loan or Loans
shall be subject to the terms of
this Agreement in all respects, and the
appropriate Seller shall be deemed to
have made with respect to such Substitute
Loan or Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the representations and
warranties made pursuant to Section
2.03(b). Upon any such substitution and the
deposit to the Certificate Account
of the amount required to be deposited
therein in connection with such
substitution as described in the following
paragraph, the Trustee shall release
the Mortgage File held for the benefit of
the Certificateholders relating to
such Deleted Loan to the appropriate Seller
and shall execute and deliver at
the appropriate Seller's direction such
instruments of transfer or assignment
prepared by such Seller, in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary
to vest title in such Seller, or its
designee, with respect to the Trustee's
interest in any Deleted Loan substituted
for pursuant to this Section 2.03.
For any month in which
the appropriate Seller substitutes one or more
Substitute Loans for one or more Deleted
Loans, the Servicer will determine the
amount (if any) by which the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of all such
Substitute Loans is less than the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of all
such Deleted Loans (such Stated Principal
Balances to be measured as of the
respective Due Dates in the month of
substitution). The amount of such shortage
(the "SUBSTITUTION ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT") plus
an amount equal to the sum of (a)
the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances
with respect to such Deleted Loans
and (b) any costs and damages incurred by
the Trust Fund in connection with
such Deleted Loan prior to the date of such
substitution shall be deposited in
the Certificate Account by such Seller on
or before the Distribution Account
Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in
the month following the month during
which the related Loan became required to
be purchased or replaced hereunder.
In the event that the
appropriate Seller shall have repurchased a Loan, the
Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited
in the Certificate Account pursuant
to Section 3.05 on or before the
Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month following
the month during which such Seller
became obligated hereunder to repurchase or
replace such Loan and upon such
deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery
of the Opinion of Counsel required
by Section 2.05 and receipt of a Request
for Release in the form of Exhibit J,
the Trustee shall release the related
Mortgage File held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders to such Seller, and the
Trustee shall execute and deliver at
such Seller's direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by
such Seller, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to transfer
title from the Trustee. It is understood
and agreed that the obligation under
this Agreement of any Seller to cure,
repurchase or replace any Loan as to
which a breach of a representation or
warranty has occurred and is continuing
shall constitute the sole and exclusive
remedy against such Sellers respecting
such breach of a representation and
warranty available to Certificateholders,
the Depositor or the Trustee on their
behalf.
46
<PAGE>
(d) The representations and warranties
made pursuant to this Section 2.03
shall survive delivery of the respective
Mortgage Files to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders.
SECTION 2.03A.
Additional Obligations of Equity One-Delaware.
(a) In addition to the representations
and warranties made by Equity One-
Delaware in its capacity as a Seller, as
described in Section 2.03 and set
forth in Schedules IIA and IIIA, Equity
One-Delaware hereby represents and
warrants to the Depositor and the Trustee
that all of the representations and
warranties of the other Sellers described
in Section 2.03 and set forth in
Schedules IIB through IIF and IIIB through
IIIF are true and accurate in all
respects.
(b) Equity One-Delaware hereby
covenants that it shall comply with the
repurchase and substitution obligations
described in Section 2.02 and 2.03 in
the event that (i) a breach of any of the
representations and warranties set
forth in Schedules IIIB through IIIF occurs
and (ii) the related Seller
defaults on its repurchase and substitution
obligations under Sections 2.02 and
2.03.
SECTION 2.04.
Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the
Loans
The Depositor hereby
represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to
each Loan that as of the Closing Date, and
following the transfer of the Loans
to it by the Sellers, the Depositor had
good title to the Loans and the
Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets,
defenses or counterclaims.
It is understood and
agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive
delivery of the Mortgage Files to the
Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or
the Trustee of a breach of any of
the foregoing representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 2.04,
which breach materially and adversely
affects the interest of the
Certificateholders, the party discovering
such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties and to each
Rating Agency.
SECTION 2.05. Delivery
of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
Substitutions.
(a) Notwithstanding any contrary
provision of this Agreement, no
substitution pursuant to Section 2.02 or
Section 2.03 shall be made more than
90 days after the Closing Date unless the
appropriate Seller delivers to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the
expense of either the Trustee or the Trust
Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to
the effect that such substitution will not
(i) result in the imposition of the
tax on "prohibited transactions" on the
Trust Fund or contributions after the
Startup Day, as defined in Sections
860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code,
respectively, and/or (ii) cause the Trust
Fund to fail to qualify as one or
more REMICs at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding.
(b) Upon discovery by the Depositor,
the appropriate Seller, the Servicer
or the Trustee that any Loan does not
constitute a "qualified mortgage" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code, the party discovering such fact
shall promptly (and in any event within
five (5) Business Days of discovery)
give written notice thereof to the other
parties. In connection therewith, the
Trustee shall require the appropriate
Seller, at such Seller's option, to
either (i) substitute, if the conditions in
Section 2.03(c) with respect to
substitutions are satisfied, a Substitute
Loan for the affected Loan within 90
days from the discovery or (ii) repurchase
the affected Loan within 90 days of
such discovery in the same manner as it
would repurchase a Loan for a breach of
representation or warranty made pursuant to
Section 2.03. The Trustee shall
reconvey to such Seller the Loan to be
released
47
<PAGE>
pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on
the same terms and conditions, as it
would release a Loan repurchased for breach
of a representation or warranty
contained in Section 2.03.
SECTION 2.06.
Execution and Delivery of Certificates.
The Trustee
acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust
Fund
and, concurrently with such transfer and
assignment and in payment therefor,
has executed and delivered to or upon the
order of the Depositor, the
Certificates in authorized denominations
evidencing directly or indirectly the
entire ownership of the Trust Fund. The
Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund
and exercise the rights referred to above
for the benefit of all present and
future Certificateholders and to perform
the duties set forth in this Agreement
to the best of its ability, to the end that
the interests of the
Certificateholders may be adequately and
effectively protected.
SECTION 2.07. REMIC
Matters.
The Preliminary
Statement sets forth the designations and "latest possible
maturity date" for federal income tax
purposes of all interests created hereby.
The "Startup Day" for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions shall be the Closing
Date. The "tax matters person" with respect
to each REMIC created hereunder
shall be the Trustee and the Trustee shall
hold the Tax Matters Person
Certificate. The Trust Fund's fiscal year
shall be the calendar year and, for
purposes of section 860C of the Code, the
taxable income of each REMIC created
hereunder shall be computed under an
accrual method of accounting.
The Trustee shall
treat each of the Net WAC Cap Account and the Reserve Fund
as a separate and distinct outside reserve
fund within the meaning of ss.1.860G-
2(h) of the Income Tax Regulations. None of
the Net WAC Cap Account, the
Reserve Fund or the Yield Maintenance
Agreement shall be treated as an asset of
any REMIC. The Trustee shall treat the
rights of the Holders of the Offered
Certificates to receive payments in respect
of Net WAC Cap Carryover as rights
in a limited recourse interest rate cap
contract. The Holders of the Class X
Certificates will own the Net WAC Cap
Account. The Trustee will own the Reserve
Fund. The Offered Certificates shall be
treated as representing ownership of
not only a regular interest in a REMIC but
also ownership of an interest in an
interest rate cap contract.
The Trustee shall
treat the payment of any Net WAC Cap Carryover as paid
first to the Trustee, deposited by the
Trustee in the Net WAC Cap Account and
then paid from the Net WAC Cap Account to
the relevant Offered Certificates.
The Trustee shall treat the Offered
Certificates as "contractual rights coupled
with regular interests" within the meaning
of ss.1.860G-2(i) of the Income Tax
Regulations. In determining the issue price
of the regular interests issued to
Holders of Offered Certificates, the
Trustee shall assume that each interest
rate cap contract has a value of
$10,000.
SECTION 2.08.
Covenants of the Servicer.
The Servicer hereby
covenants to the Depositor and the Trustee as follows:
(a) the Servicer shall comply in the
performance of its obligations under
this Agreement with all reasonable rules
and requirements of the insurer under
each Required Insurance Policy; and
(b) no written information,
certificate of an officer, statement furnished
in writing or written report delivered to
the Depositor, any affiliate of the
Depositor or the Trustee and prepared by
the
48
<PAGE>
Servicer pursuant to this Agreement will
contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material
fact necessary to make such
information, certificate, statement or
report not misleading.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Servicer
to Service Loans.
For and on behalf of
the Certificateholders, the Servicer shall service and
administer the Loans in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and
customary and usual standards of practice
of prudent mortgage loan servicers.
In connection with such servicing and
administration, the Servicer shall have
full power and authority, acting alone
and/or through Subservicers as provided
in Section 3.02 hereof, to do or cause to
be done any and all things that it
may deem necessary or desirable in
connection with such servicing and
administration, including but not limited
to, the power and authority, subject
to the terms hereof, (i) to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee,
customary consents or waivers and other
instruments and documents, (ii) to consent
to transfers of any Mortgaged
Property and assumptions of the Mortgage
Notes and related Mortgages (but only
in the manner provided in this Agreement),
(iii) to collect any Insurance
Proceeds and other Liquidation Proceeds and
Recoveries and (iv) to effectuate
foreclosure or other conversion of the
ownership of the Mortgaged Property
securing any Loan; provided that the
Servicer shall not take any action that is
inconsistent with or prejudices the
interests of the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders in any Loan or the
rights and interests of the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Certificateholders
under this Agreement. The Servicer shall
represent and protect the interests of the
Trust Fund in the same manner as it
protects its own interests in mortgage
loans in its own portfolio in any claim,
proceeding or litigation regarding a Loan,
and shall not make or permit any
modification, waiver or amendment of any
Loan which would cause the Trust Fund
to fail to qualify as one or more REMICs or
result in the imposition of any tax
under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d) of
the Code. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Servicer,
in its own name or in the name of
the Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby
authorized and empowered by the
Depositor and the Trustee, when the
Servicer believes it appropriate in its
reasonable judgment, to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of
them, 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 Loans, and with respect
to the Mortgaged Properties held for the
benefit of the Certificateholders. The
Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the
Depositor and/or the Trustee such
documents requiring execution and delivery
by either or both of them as are
necessary or appropriate to enable the
Servicer to service and administer the
Loans to the extent that the Servicer is
not permitted to execute and deliver
such documents pursuant to the preceding
sentence. Upon receipt of such
documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee
shall execute such documents and
deliver them to the Servicer. In addition,
upon the request of the Servicer
from time to time the Trustee shall execute
and deliver to the Servicer one or
more powers of attorney in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit M.
SECTION 3.02.
Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of Servicers.
(a) The Servicer may arrange for the
subservicing of any Loan by a
Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing
agreement; provided, however, that such
subservicing arrangement and the terms of
the related subservicing agreement
must provide for the servicing of such
Loans in a manner consistent with the
servicing arrangements contemplated
hereunder. Unless the context otherwise
requires, references in this Agreement to
actions taken or to be taken by the
Servicer in servicing the Loans include
actions taken or to be taken by a
Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer.
Notwithstanding
49
<PAGE>
the provisions of any subservicing
agreement, any of the provisions of this
Agreement relating to agreements or
arrangements between the Servicer and a
Subservicer or reference to actions taken
through a Subservicer or otherwise,
the Servicer shall remain obligated and
liable to the Depositor, the Trustee
and the Certificateholders for the
servicing and administration of the Loans in
accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such
subservicing agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Subservicer and to the
same extent and under the same terms and
conditions as if the Servicer alone
were servicing and administering the Loans.
All actions of each Subservicer
performed pursuant to the related
subservicing agreement shall be performed as
an agent of the Servicer with the same
force and effect as if performed
directly by the Servicer. Each subservicing
agreement, if any, shall provide
that any successor servicer (including,
without limitation, the Trustee acting
in such capacity) shall have the right to
terminate such subservicing agreement
without the payment of any fees or other
amounts to the subservicer.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement,
the Servicer shall be deemed to have
received any collections, recoveries or
payments with respect to the Loans that
are received by a Subservicer regardless of
whether such payments are remitted
by the Subservicer to the Servicer.
SECTION 3.03. Rights
of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the
Servicer.
The Depositor may, but
is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the
Servicer hereunder and may, but is not
obligated to, perform, or cause a
designee to perform, any defaulted
obligation of the Servicer hereunder and in
connection with any such defaulted
obligation to exercise the related rights of
the Servicer hereunder; provided that the
Servicer shall not be relieved of any
of its obligations hereunder by virtue of
such performance by the Depositor or
its designee. Neither the Trustee nor the
Depositor shall have any
responsibility or liability for any action
or failure to act by the Servicer
nor shall the Trustee or the Depositor be
obligated to supervise the
performance of the Servicer hereunder or
otherwise.
SECTION 3.04. Trustee
to Act as Servicer.
In the event that the
Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Servicer hereunder (including by reason of
an Event of Default), the Trustee or
its successor shall thereupon assume all of
the rights and obligations of the
Servicer hereunder arising thereafter
(except that the Trustee shall not be (i)
liable for losses of the Servicer pursuant
to Section 3.09 hereof or any acts
or omissions of the predecessor Servicer
hereunder, (ii) obligated to make
Advances if it is prohibited from doing so
by applicable law, (iii) obligated
to effectuate repurchases or substitutions
of Loans hereunder including, but
not limited to, repurchases or
substitutions of Loans pursuant to Section 2.02
or 2.03 hereof, (iv) responsible for
expenses of the Servicer pursuant to
Section 2.03 or (v) deemed to have made any
representations and warranties of
the Servicer hereunder). Any such
assumption shall be subject to Section 7.02
hereof. If the Servicer shall for any
reason no longer be the Servicer
(including by reason of any Event of
Default), the Trustee or its successor
shall succeed to any rights and obligations
of the Servicer under each
subservicing agreement.
The Servicer shall,
upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the
Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all
documents and records relating to
each subservicing agreement or substitute
subservicing agreement and the Loans
then being serviced thereunder and an
accounting of amounts collected or held
by it and otherwise use its best efforts to
effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of the substitute subservicing
agreement to the assuming party.
50
<PAGE>
SECTION 3.05.
Collection of Loan Payments; Certificate Account; Distribution
Account.
(a) The Servicer shall make reasonable
efforts in accordance with the
customary and usual standards of practice
of prudent mortgage servicers to
collect all payments called for under the
terms and provisions of the Loans to
the extent such procedures shall be
consistent with this Agreement and the
terms and provisions of any related
Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with
the foregoing, the Servicer may in its
discretion (i) waive any late payment
charge or any prepayment charge or penalty
interest in connection with the
prepayment of a Loan and (ii) extend the
due dates for payments due on a
Mortgage Note for a period not greater than
180 days; provided, however, that
the Servicer cannot extend the maturity of
any such Loan past the date on which
the final payment is due on the latest
maturing Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In
the event of any such arrangement, the
Servicer shall make Advances on the
related Loan in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.01 during the
scheduled period in accordance with the
amortization schedule of such Loan
without modification thereof by reason of
such arrangements. The Servicer shall
not be required to institute or join in
litigation with respect to collection
of any payment (whether under a Mortgage,
Mortgage Note or otherwise or against
any public or governmental authority with
respect to a taking or condemnation)
if it reasonably believes that enforcing
the provision of the Mortgage or other
instrument pursuant to which such payment
is required is prohibited by
applicable law.
(b) The Servicer shall establish and
maintain a Certificate Account into
which the Servicer shall deposit or cause
to be deposited within one Business
Day of receipt, except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, the following
payments and collections remitted by
Subservicers or received by it in respect
of the Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date
(other than in respect of principal
and interest due on the Loans on or before
the Cut-off Date) and the following
amounts required to be deposited
hereunder:
(i) all payments on
account of principal on the Loans, including
Principal
Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on
account of interest on the Loans, net of the
related Servicing
Fee;
(iii) all Insurance
Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, other than
proceeds to be applied
to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged
Property or released
to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's
normal servicing
procedures, and all Recoveries;
(iv) any amount
required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.05(d) in
connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;
(v) any amounts
required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.09(c) and,
in respect of net monthly rental income from REO
Property, pursuant to
Section 3.11 hereof;
(vi) all Substitution
Adjustment Amounts;
(vii) all Advances
made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01;
(viii) all Principal Prepayments, Liquidation Proceeds and
other
unscheduled payments
on the Loans received on the Cut-off Date; and
51
<PAGE>
(ix) any other amounts
required to be deposited hereunder.
The foregoing
requirements for remittance by the Servicer shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed
that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of
prepayment penalties, late payment
charges or assumption fees, if collected,
need not be remitted by the Servicer.
In the event that the Servicer shall remit
any amount not required to be
remitted, it may at any time withdraw or
direct the institution maintaining the
Certificate Account to withdraw such amount
from the Certificate Account, any
provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction
may be accomplished by delivering written
notice thereof to the Trustee or such
other institution maintaining the
Certificate Account which describes the
amounts deposited in error in the
Certificate Account. The Servicer shall
maintain adequate records with respect to
all withdrawals made pursuant to this
Section. All funds deposited in the
Certificate Account shall be held in trust
for the Certificateholders until withdrawn
in accordance with Section 3.08.
(c) The Trustee shall establish and
maintain, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, the Distribution
Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon
receipt, deposit in the Distribution
Account and retain therein the following:
(i) the aggregate
amount remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee
pursuant to Section
3.08(a)(ix); and
(ii) any other amounts
deposited hereunder which are required to be
deposited in the
Distribution Account.
In the event that the
Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be
remitted, it may at any time direct the
Trustee to withdraw such amount from
the Distribution Account, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Such direction may be accomplished by
delivering an Officer's Certificate to
the Trustee which describes the amounts
deposited in error in the Distribution
Account. All funds deposited in the
Distribution Account shall be held by the
Trustee uninvested in trust for the
Certificateholders until disbursed in
accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn
in accordance with Section 3.08. In
no event shall the Trustee incur liability
for withdrawals from the
Distribution Account at the direction of
the Servicer.
(d) The Servicer may direct, in
writing, each institution at which the
Certificate Account is maintained to invest
the funds therein in specified
Permitted Investments, which shall mature
not later than, the second Business
Day next preceding the Distribution Account
Deposit Date (except that if such
Permitted Investment is an obligation of
the institution that maintains such
account or a fund for which such
institution or affiliate thereof serves as an
investment advisor, administrator,
shareholder servicing agent and/or custodian
or subcustodian, then such Permitted
Investment shall mature not later than the
Business Day next preceding such
Distribution Account Deposit Date) and shall
not be sold or disposed of prior to its
maturity. All such Permitted
Investments shall be made in the name of
the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. So long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, all income earned on funds on
deposit in the Certificate Account,
net of any losses realized from any
Permitted Investments made with such funds,
shall be for the benefit of the Servicer as
servicing compensation and shall be
remitted to it monthly as provided herein.
If an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, all income earned on
funds on deposit in the Certificate
Account, net of any losses realized from
any Permitted Investments made with
such funds, shall be deposited into the
Certificate Account without right of
reimbursement. The amount of any realized
losses in the Certificate Account in
respect of any such Permitted Investments
shall promptly be deposited by the
Servicer (from its own
52
<PAGE>
funds) in the Certificate Account. The
Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall
not be liable for the amount of any loss
incurred in respect of any investment
or lack of investment of funds held in the
Certificate Account and made in
accordance with this Section 3.05.
(e) The Servicer shall give notice to
the Trustee, each Seller, each
Rating Agency and the Depositor of any
proposed change of the location of the
Certificate Account prior to any change
thereof. The Trustee shall give notice
to the Servicer, each Seller, each Rating
Agency and the Depositor of any
proposed change of the location of the
Distribution Account prior to any change
thereof.
SECTION 3.06. Payment
of Taxes, Assessments, Hazard Insurance Premiums and
Similar Items; Escrow
Accounts.
(a) The Servicer shall require
Mortgagors to pay all taxes, assessments,
hazard insurance premiums, flood insurance
premiums, condominium association
dues or comparable items for the account of
the Mortgagors. To the extent
required by the Seller at the time the
related Loan was originated and not
violative of current law, the Servicer
shall establish and maintain one or more
accounts (each, an "ESCROW ACCOUNT") and
deposit and retain therein all
collections from the Mortgagors (or
advances by the Servicer) for the payment
of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance
premiums, condominium association dues
or comparable items for the account of the
Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall
require the Servicer to compel a Mortgagor
to establish an Escrow Account in
violation of applicable law or if the
Seller of the related Loan did not
require the establishment of an Escrow
Account at the time the Loan was
originated.
Withdrawals of amounts
so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made
only to effect timely payment of taxes,
assessments, hazard insurance premiums,
condominium association dues, or comparable
items, to reimburse the Servicer
out of related collections for any payments
made pursuant to Sections 3.01
hereof (with respect to taxes and
assessments and insurance premiums) and 3.09
hereof (with respect to hazard insurance),
to refund to any Mortgagors any sums
determined to be overages, to pay interest,
if required by law or the terms of
the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to
Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow
Account or to clear and terminate the
Escrow Account at the termination of this
Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01
hereof. The Escrow Accounts shall not
be a part of the Trust Fund.
(b) The Servicer shall advance any
payments referred to in Section 3.06(a)
that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors
on the date when the tax, premium or
other cost for which such payment is
intended is due, but the Servicer shall be
required so to advance only to the extent
that such advances, in the good faith
judgment of the Servicer, are required to
be made to protect the lien of the
Mortgage and will be recoverable by the
Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds,
Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise. The
amount of any such advances made by the
Servicer for the purpose of maintaining any
hazard or flood insurance shall
not, for the purpose of calculating monthly
distributions to the
Certificateholders or remittances to the
Trustee for their benefit, be added to
the principal balance of the related Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of
the Loan so permit. Any advance made by the
Servicer pursuant to this Section
3.06 shall be recoverable as a Servicing
Advance to the extent permitted by
Section 3.08.
SECTION 3.07. Access
to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the
Loans.
(a) The Servicer shall afford the
Depositor, the Trustee and each Rating
Agency reasonable access to all records and
documentation regarding the Loans
and all accounts, insurance
53
<PAGE>
information and other matters relating to
this Agreement, such access being
afforded without charge, but only upon
reasonable request and during normal
business hours at the office designated by
the Servicer.
(b) Upon reasonable advance notice in
writing, the Servicer will provide
to each Certificateholder which is a
savings and loan association, bank or
insurance company certain reports and
reasonable access to information and
documentation regarding the Loans
sufficient to permit such Certificateholder
to comply with applicable regulations of
the OTS or other regulatory
authorities with respect to investment in
the Certificates; provided that the
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
by each such Certificateholder for
actual expenses incurred by the Servicer in
providing such reports and access.
SECTION 3.08.
Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate Account and
Distribution
Account.
(a) The Servicer may from time to time
make withdrawals from the
Certificate Account for the following
purposes:
(i) to pay to the
Servicer (to the extent not previously retained by
the Servicer) the
servicing compensation to which it is entitled pursuant to
Section 3.13, and,
subject to Section 3.05(d), to pay to the Servicer, as
additional servicing
compensation, earnings on or investment income with
respect to funds in or
credited to the Certificate Account;
(ii) to reimburse the
Servicer for unreimbursed Advances made by it,
such right of
reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (ii) being limited to
amounts received on
the Loan(s) in respect of which any such Advance was
made, excluding any
Purchase Price proceeds received from the Servicer
pursuant to Section
3.11 and subject to Section 9.01;
(iii) to reimburse the
Servicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance
previously made,
except that the Servicer shall no longer be entitled to
reimbursement for any
Nonrecoverable Advance on a Loan as of the date the
Servicer purchases
such Loan from the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 3.11 or
Section 9.01;
(iv) to reimburse the
Servicer for Insured Expenses from the related
Insurance
Proceeds;
(v) to reimburse the
Servicer for (a) unreimbursed Servicing Advances,
the Servicer's right
to reimbursement pursuant to this clause (a) with
respect to any Loan
being limited to amounts received on such Loan(s) which
represent late
recoveries of the payments for which such Servicing Advances
were made pursuant to
Section 3.01 or Section 3.06 and (b) for unpaid
Servicing Fees as
provided in Section 3.11 hereof;
(vi) to pay to the
purchaser, with respect to each Loan or property
acquired in respect
thereof that has been purchased pursuant to Section
2.02, 2.03 or 3.11,
all amounts received thereon after the date of such
purchase;
(vii) to (A) reimburse
the Sellers, the Servicer or the Depositor for
expenses incurred by
any of them that are reimbursable pursuant to Section
6.03 hereof or (B) to
pay to the Trustee any Trustee Permitted Withdrawal
Amounts;
54
<PAGE>
(viii) to withdraw any
amount deposited in the Certificate Account and
not required to be
deposited therein;
(ix) on or prior to
the Distribution Account Deposit Date, to withdraw
an amount equal to the
Available Funds for such Distribution Date and remit
such amounts to the Trustee for
deposit in the Distribution Account; and
(x) to clear and
terminate the Certificate Account upon termination of
this Agreement
pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.
The Servicer shall
keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Loan by Loan
basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Certificate
Account pursuant to such subclauses (i),
(ii), (iv), (v) and (vi). Prior to
making any withdrawal from the Certificate
Account pursuant to subclause (iii),
the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee
an Officer's Certificate of a
Servicing Officer indicating the amount of
any previous Advance determined by
the Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance
and identifying the related
Loans(s), and their respective portions of
such Nonrecoverable Advance.
(b) The Trustee shall withdraw funds
from the Distribution Account to make
the distributions specified in this
Agreement (and to withhold from the amounts
so withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that
it is authorized to withhold
pursuant to the last paragraph of Section
8.11). In addition, the Trustee may
from time to time make withdrawals from the
Distribution Account for the
following purposes:
(i) to the extent not
remitted by the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.08(a)(vii)(B) above
within a reasonable period of time after request by
the Trustee, to remit
(prior to making any other distributions from amounts
held in the
Distribution Account) to itself any Trustee Permitted
Withdrawal
Amounts;
(ii) to withdraw and
return to the Servicer any amount deposited in
the Distribution
Account and not required to be deposited therein; and
(iii) to clear and
terminate the Distribution Account upon termination
of the Agreement
pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.
SECTION 3.09.
Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of Primary
Insurance Policies.
(a) The Servicer shall require
Mortgagors to maintain, for each Loan,
hazard insurance with extended coverage (i)
in the case of a Loan secured by a
Mortgage creating a first lien on the
related Mortgaged Property, in an amount
that is at least equal to the original
principal balance of such Loan or the
maximum insurable value of the improvements
on such Mortgaged Property,
whichever is less, and (ii) in the case of
a Second Lien Loan, in an amount
equal to the lesser of the combined
principal balance of such Second Lien Loan
and the related first lien mortgage loan or
the maximum insurable value of the
improvements on the related Mortgaged
Property. Each such policy of standard
hazard insurance shall contain, or have an
accompanying endorsement that
contains, a standard mortgagee clause. Any
amounts collected by the Servicer
under any such policies (other than the
amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the improvements
on the related Mortgaged Property or
amounts released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with the Servicer's normal
servicing procedures) shall be deposited in
the Certificate Account. It is
understood and agreed that no earthquake or
other additional insurance is to be
required of any Mortgagor or maintained on
property acquired in respect of a
Mortgage
55
<PAGE>
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 is located at the time
of origination of the Loan in a
federally designated special flood hazard
area and such area is participating
in the national flood insurance program,
the Servicer shall require the related
Mortgagor to maintain flood insurance with
respect to such Loan. Such flood
insurance shall be in an amount equal to
the original principal balance of the
related Loan.
(b) The Servicer shall not be required
to have Mortgagors maintain any
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy with
respect to any Loan, but may do so as
allowed by law, and shall allow the
cancellation of any such Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy as required by law. The
Servicer shall not take any action
which would result in non-coverage under
any applicable Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for
the actions of the Servicer, would
have been covered thereunder. If any
Mortgagor fails to pay the premiums for
its Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if
any, the Servicer may, but shall not
be required to, pay such premiums. Any
payment made by the Servicer pursuant to
this Section 3.09(b) shall be recoverable
as a Servicing Advance to the extent
permitted by Section 3.08.
(c) In connection with its activities
as Servicer of the Loans, the
Servicer agrees to present on behalf of
itself, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, claims to the insurer
under any Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies and, in this regard, to take such
reasonable action as shall be
necessary to permit recovery under any
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies
respecting defaulted Loans. Any amounts
collected by the Servicer under any
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies shall
be deposited in the Certificate
Account.
SECTION 3.10.
Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
(a) When any property subject to a
Mortgage has been conveyed by the
Mortgagor, the Servicer, to the extent that
it has knowledge of such
conveyance, may, at its discretion, but is
not required to, enforce any due-on-
sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note
or Mortgage, to the extent permitted
under applicable law and governmental
regulations, but only to the extent that
such enforcement will not adversely affect
or jeopardize coverage under any
Required Insurance Policy. The Servicer is
authorized, subject to Section
3.10(b), to take or enter into an
assumption and modification agreement from or
with the Person to whom such property has
been or is about to be conveyed,
pursuant to which such Person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and,
unless prohibited by applicable state law,
the Mortgagor remains liable
thereon, provided that the Loan shall
continue to be covered (if so covered
before the Servicer enters such agreement)
by the applicable Required Insurance
Policies. The Servicer, subject to Section
3.10(b), is also authorized with the
prior approval of the insurers under any
Required Insurance Policies to enter
into a substitution of liability agreement
with such Person, pursuant to which
the original Mortgagor is released from
liability and such Person is
substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable
under the Mortgage Note.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer
shall not be deemed to be in
default under this Section by reason of any
transfer or assumption which the
Servicer reasonably believes it is
restricted by law from preventing, for any
reason whatsoever.
(b) In any case in which a Mortgaged
Property has been conveyed to a
Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is
to enter into an assumption agreement
or modification agreement or supplement to
the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that
requires the signature of the Trustee, or
if an instrument of release signed by
the Trustee is required releasing the
Mortgagor from liability on the Loan, the
Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause
to be prepared and delivered to the
Trustee for signature and shall direct, in
writing, the Trustee to execute the
assumption agreement with the Person to
whom the Mortgaged Property is to be
conveyed and such modification agreement or
supplement to the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or other instruments as are
reasonable or necessary to carry out the
terms of the
56
<PAGE>
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to
comply with any applicable laws
regarding assumptions or the transfer of
the Mortgaged Property to such Person.
In connection with any such assumption, no
material term of the Mortgage Note
may be changed. In addition, the substitute
Mortgagor and the Mortgaged
Property must be acceptable to the Servicer
in accordance with its underwriting
standards as then in effect. Together with
each such substitution, assumption
or other agreement or instrument delivered
to the Trustee for execution by it,
the Servicer shall deliver an Officer's
Certificate signed by a Servicing
Officer stating that the requirements of
this subsection have been met in
connection therewith. The Servicer shall
notify the Trustee that any such
substitution or assumption agreement has
been completed by forwarding to the
Trustee the original of such substitution
or assumption agreement, which in the
case of the original 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. Any fee
collected by the Servicer for entering into
an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement will be retained by the
Servicer as additional servicing
compensation.
SECTION 3.11.
Realization Upon Defaulted Loans; Repurchase and Sale of
Certain Loans.
The Servicer shall use
reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of
properties securing such of the Loans as
come into and continue in default and as to
which no satisfactory arrangements
can be made for collection of delinquent
payments. In connection with such
foreclosure or other conversion, the
Servicer shall follow such practices and
procedures as it shall deem necessary or
advisable and as shall be normal and
usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities and meet the requirements of
the insurer under any Required Insurance
Policy; provided, however, that the
Servicer shall not be required to expend
its own funds in connection with any
foreclosure or towards the restoration of
any property unless it shall
determine (i) that such restoration and/or
foreclosure will increase the
proceeds of liquidation of the Loan after
reimbursement to itself of such
expenses and (ii) that such expenses will
be recoverable to it through
Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it
shall have priority for purposes of
withdrawals from the Certificate Account).
The Servicer shall be responsible
for all other costs and expenses incurred
by it in any such proceedings;
provided, however, that it shall be
entitled to reimbursement thereof from the
liquidation proceeds with respect to the
related Mortgaged Property, as
provided in the definition of Liquidation
Proceeds. If the Servicer has
knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which
the Servicer is contemplating
acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu
of foreclosure is located within a
one mile radius of any site with
environmental or hazardous waste risks known
to the Servicer, the Servicer will, prior
to acquiring the Mortgaged Property,
consider such risks and only take action in
accordance with its established
environmental review procedures.
With respect to any
REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be
taken in the name of the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, or
its nominee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders. The Trustee's name shall be
placed on the title to such REO Property
solely as the Trustee hereunder and
not in its individual capacity. The
Servicer shall ensure that the title to
such REO Property references this Agreement
and the Trustee's capacity
thereunder. In order to facilitate sales of
REO Properties by the Servicer,
upon the Servicer's request, the Trustee
shall promptly provide the Servicer
with appropriate limited durable powers of
attorney or such other documentation
as may reasonably be required by the
Servicer or purchasers of REO Properties
to consummate such sales. Pursuant to its
efforts to sell such REO Property,
the Servicer shall either itself or through
an agent selected by the Servicer
protect and conserve such REO Property in
the same manner and to such extent as
is customary in the locality where such REO
Property is located and may,
incident to its conservation and protection
of the interests of the
Certificateholders, rent the same, or any
part thereof, as the Servicer deems
to be in the best interest of the
Certificateholders for the period prior to
the sale of such REO
57
<PAGE>
Property. The Servicer shall prepare for
and deliver to the Trustee a statement
with respect to each REO Property that has
been rented showing the aggregate
rental income received and all expenses
incurred in connection with the
management and maintenance of such REO
Property at such times as is necessary
to enable the Trustee to comply with the
reporting requirements of the REMIC
Provisions. The net monthly income, if any,
from such REO Property shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account no
later than the close of business on
each Determination Date. The Servicer shall
perform the tax reporting and
withholding required by Sections 1445 and
6050J of the Code with respect to
foreclosures and abandonments, the tax
reporting required by Section 6050H of
the Code with respect to the receipt of
mortgage interest from individuals and
any tax reporting required by Section 6050P
of the Code with respect to the
cancellation of indebtedness by certain
financial entities, by preparing such
tax and information returns as may be
required, in the form required, and
delivering the same to the Trustee for
filing.
In the event that the
Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a
default or imm
