                              CONVEYANCE OF LOANS;

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

    SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Loans.

 

    (a)   Subject to its substitution and repurchase obligations hereunder, each

Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby irrevocably

sells, transfers, grants, bargains, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to

the Depositor, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of such

Seller in and to that portion of the Loans (including, without limitation, the

Mortgage Files relating thereto) listed on the Loan Schedule that pertains to

such Seller, including (i) all interest and principal received or receivable by

such Seller on or with respect to such Loans after the Cut-off Date and all

interest and principal payments on such Loans received on or prior to the Cut-

off Date in respect of installments of interest and principal due thereafter,

but not including payments of principal and interest due and payable on such

Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, and (ii) all Principal Prepayments,

Liquidation Proceeds and other unscheduled payments received or receivable on

the Loans on the Cut-off Date. On or prior to the Closing Date, each Seller

shall deliver to the Depositor or, at the Depositor's direction, to the Trustee

or other designee of the Depositor, the Mortgage File for each Loan listed in

that portion of the Loan Schedule that pertains to such Seller. Such delivery

of the Mortgage Files shall be made against payment by the Depositor of the

purchase price, previously agreed to by such Seller and the Depositor, for the

Loans listed on the Loan Schedule that pertain to such Seller. With respect to

any Loan that does not require the first payment of principal or interest

thereon to be made on or before such Loan's Due Date in the month prior to the

first Distribution Date, such Seller shall deposit into the Certificate Account

on the Closing Date, an amount equal to one month's interest at the related

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

 

<PAGE>

 

    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;

        (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

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

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
