Depositor cannot deliver the Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage, or assumption,

recording thereon concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement

solely because of a delay caused by the public recording office where such

Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage, or assumption, consolidation or modification

agreement, as the case may be, has been delivered for recordation, the Depositor

shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee written notice stating

that such Mortgage, Assignments of Mortgage, or assumption, consolidation or

modification agreement, as the case may be, has been delivered to the

appropriate public recording office for recordation. Thereafter, the Depositor

shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee such Mortgage, Assignments

of Mortgage, or assumption, consolidation or modification agreement, as the case

may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from

the public recording office.

 

         With respect to any Non-MERS Mortgage Loans which are not Co-op Loans,

and as to which the related Mortgaged Property is located in Florida, the

Servicer shall cause to be recorded in the appropriate public recording office

for real property records each Assignment of Mortgage referred to in this

Section 2.01 as soon as practicable. With respect to any Non-MERS Mortgage Loans

which are not Co-op Loans as to which the related Mortgaged Property is located

outside of Florida, the Servicer shall not be obligated to cause to be recorded

the Assignment of Mortgage referred to in this Section 2.01. With respect to

Co-op Loans as to which the related dwelling unit is located in Florida, the

Servicer shall cause to be filed in the appropriate filing office the Form UCC-3

referred to in this Section 2.01 as soon as practicable. With respect to any

Co-op Loans as to which the related dwelling unit is located outside Florida,

the Servicer shall not be obligated to cause to be filed the Form UCC-3 referred

to in this Section 2.01. While each such Assignment of Mortgage or Form UCC-3 is

being recorded or filed, as applicable, the Servicer shall deliver to the

Trustee a photocopy of such document. If any such Assignment of Mortgage or Form

UCC-3 is returned unrecorded or unfiled to the Servicer because of any defect

therein, the Servicer shall cause such defect to be cured and such document to

be recorded or filed in accordance with this paragraph. The Depositor shall

deliver or cause to be delivered each such original recorded or filed Assignment

of Mortgage and intermediate assignment or Form UCC-3 to the Trustee within 270

days of the Closing Date or shall deliver to the Trustee on or before such date

an Officer's Certificate stating that such document has been delivered to the

appropriate public recording or filing office for recording or filing, but has

not been returned solely because of a delay caused by such recording or filing

office. In any event, the Depositor shall use all reasonable efforts to cause

each such document with evidence of recording or filing thereon to be delivered

to the Trustee within 300 days of the Closing Date.

 

         With respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Trustee, at the expense of

the Depositor and at the direction and with the cooperation of the Servicer,

shall cause to be taken such actions as are necessary to cause the Trustee to be

clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on the records of

MERS for purposes of the system of recording transfers of beneficial ownership

of mortgages maintained by MERS.

 

                                       27

<PAGE>

 

         The ownership of each Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the contents of

the related Mortgage File is vested in the Trustee. Neither the Depositor nor

the Servicer shall take any action inconsistent with such ownership and shall

not claim any ownership interest therein. The Depositor and the Servicer shall

respond to any third party inquiries with respect to ownership of the Mortgage

Loans by stating that such ownership is held by the Trustee on behalf of the

Certificateholders. Mortgage documents relating to the Mortgage Loans not

delivered to the Trustee are and shall be held in trust by the Servicer or any

Sub-Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee as the owner thereof, and the

Servicer's or such Sub-Servicer's possession of the contents of each Mortgage

File so retained is for the sole purpose of servicing the related Mortgage Loan,

and such retention and possession by the Servicer or such Sub-Servicer is in a

custodial capacity only. The Depositor agrees to take no action inconsistent

with the Trustee's ownership of the Mortgage Loans, to promptly indicate to all

inquiring parties that the Mortgage Loans have been sold and to claim no

ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans. Each Mortgage File and the mortgage

documents relating to the Mortgage Loans contain proprietary business

information of the Servicer and its customers. The Trustee and the Depositor

agree that they will not use such information for business purposes without the

express written consent of the Servicer and that all such information shall be

kept strictly confidential.

 

         It is the intention of this Agreement that the conveyance of the

Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Trust Fund pursuant to this

Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. If a conveyance

of Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Depositor is characterized as a pledge

and not a sale, then the Depositor shall be deemed to have transferred to the

Trustee all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under the

obligations of the Seller deemed to be secured by said pledge; and it is the

intention of this Agreement that the Depositor shall also be deemed to have

granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the

Depositor's right, title, and interest in, to and under the obligations of the

Seller to the Depositor deemed to be secured by said pledge and that the Trustee

shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the

security interest granted to the Depositor. If the conveyance of the Mortgage

Loans from the Depositor to the Trustee is characterized as a pledge, it is the

intention of this Agreement that this Agreement shall constitute a security

agreement under applicable law, and that the Depositor shall be deemed to have

granted to the Trustee a first priority security interest in all of the

Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, all

payments of principal of or interest on such Mortgage Loans, all other rights

relating to and payments made in respect of the Trust Fund, and all proceeds of

any thereof. If the trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the

satisfaction of the claims of any Person in any Certificates, the security

interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee

shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person.

 

         In addition to the conveyance made in the first paragraph of this

Section 2.01, the Depositor does hereby convey, assign and set over to the

Trustee all of its right, title and interest in that portion of the Trust Fund

described in items (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the definition thereof and

further assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders those

representations and warranties of the Seller contained in the Sale Agreement and

described in Section 3.01 hereof and the benefit of the repurchase obligations

of the Seller described in Sections 2.02 and 3.01 hereof and the obligations of

the Seller contained in the Sale Agreement to take, at the request of the

Depositor or the Trustee, all action on its part which is reasonably necessary

to ensure the enforceability of a Mortgage Loan.

 

         Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee.

 

         Except as set forth in the Exception Report delivered contemporaneously

herewith (the "Exception Report"), the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the

Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan and delivery of a Mortgage File (but does

not acknowledge receipt of all documents required to be included in such

Mortgage File) with respect to each Mortgage Loan and declares that it holds and

will hold such documents and any other documents constituting a part of the

Mortgage Files delivered to it in trust for the use and benefit of all present

and future Certificateholders. The Depositor will cause the Seller to repurchase

any Mortgage Loans to which an exception was taken in the Exception Report

unless such exception is cured to the satisfaction of the Trustee within 45

Business Days of the Closing Date.

 

                                       28

<PAGE>

 

         The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review

each Mortgage File delivered to it within 270 days after the Closing Date to

ascertain that all documents required by Section 2.01 have been executed and

received, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in

Exhibit A that have been conveyed to it. If the Trustee finds any document or

documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective

(that is, mutilated, damaged, defaced or unexecuted) in any material respect,

the Trustee shall promptly (and in any event within no more than five Business

Days) after such finding so notify the Servicer, the Seller and the Depositor.

In addition, the Trustee shall also notify the Servicer, the Seller and the

Depositor, if (a) in examining the Mortgage Files, the documentation shows on

its face (i) any adverse claim, lien or encumbrance, (ii) that any Mortgage Note

was overdue or had been dishonored, (iii) any evidence on the face of any

Mortgage Note or Mortgage of any security interest or other right or interest

therein, or (iv) any defense against or claim to the Mortgage Note by any party

or (b) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon with respect to

a Mortgage Loan is not received within 270 days of the Closing Date; provided,

however, that if the Depositor cannot deliver the original Mortgage with

evidence of recording thereon because of a delay caused by the public recording

office where such Mortgage has been delivered for recordation, the Depositor

shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee written notice stating

that such Mortgage has been delivered to the appropriate public recording

officer for recordation and thereafter the Depositor shall deliver or cause to

be delivered such Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon upon receipt

thereof from the public recording office. The Trustee shall request that the

Seller correct or cure such omission, defect or other irregularity, or

substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.03, within 60

days from the date the Seller was notified of such omission or defect and, if

the Seller does not correct or cure such omission or defect within such period,

that the Seller purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from

the date the Trustee notified the Seller of such omission, defect or other

irregularity at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan. The Purchase Price for

any Mortgage Loan purchased pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be paid to the

Servicer and deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account promptly upon

receipt, and, upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such

deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall promptly release to the

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

instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as shall be necessary

to vest in the Seller or its designee, as the case may be, any Mortgage Loan

released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility

with regard to such Mortgage Loan. It is understood and agreed that the

obligation of the Seller to purchase, cure or substitute any Mortgage Loan as to

which a material defect in or omission of a constituent document exists shall

constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect or omission available to the

Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The Trustee shall be under no duty or

obligation to inspect, review and examine such documents, instruments,

certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable or

appropriate to the represented purpose, or that they have actually been

recorded, or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. The

Trustee shall keep confidential the name of each Mortgagor and shall not solicit

any such Mortgagor for the purpose of refinancing the related Mortgage Loan.

 

         Within 280 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the

Depositor and the Servicer the Trustee's Certification, substantially in the

form of Exhibit G attached hereto, setting forth the status of the Mortgage

Files as of such date.

 

         Section 2.03. Trust Fund; Authentication of Certificates.

 

         The Trustee acknowledges and accepts the assignment to it of the Trust

Fund created pursuant to this Agreement in trust for the use and benefit of all

present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges the assignment

to it for the benefit of the Trust Fund of the Mortgage Loans and has caused to

be authenticated and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, in

exchange for the Mortgage Loans, Certificates duly authenticated by the Trustee

or, if an Authenticating Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 4.06, the

Authenticating Agent in authorized denominations evidencing ownership of the

entire Trust Fund.

         Section 2.04. REMIC Election.

 

         (a) The Depositor hereby instructs and authorizes the Trustee to make

an appropriate election to treat each of the Trust Fund as a REMIC. This

Agreement shall be construed so as to carry out the intention of the parties

that the Trust Fund be treated as a REMIC at all times prior to the date on

which the Trust Fund is terminated. The Closing Date is hereby designated as the

"startup day" of the REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

The "regular interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code)

in the REMIC shall consist of the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-R

Certificate), the Class M Certificates and the Class B Certificates, and the

"residual interest" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code) in

the REMIC shall consist of the Class A-R Certificate, and all such interests

shall be designated as such on the Startup Day. Solely for the purposes of

Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury regulations, the "latest possible

maturity date" by which the Outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of each

Class of Certificates representing a regular interest in the REMIC would be

reduced to zero is the Distribution Date immediately following the latest

scheduled maturity of any Mortgage Loan.

 

         (b) The "tax matters person" with respect to the Trust Fund for

Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, irrevocably appoints the Servicer as its

agent and attorney-in-fact to act as "tax matters person" with respect to the

Trust Fund for purposes of the REMIC provisions.

 

         (c) It is intended that the Trust Fund shall constitute, and that the

affairs of the Trust Fund shall be conducted so as to qualify the Trust Fund as,

a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in accordance with

the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Servicer covenants

and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Servicer is hereby appointed to

act as agent) on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Holder of the Class A-R

Certificate and that in such capacity it shall:

         and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or

         state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and shall furnish or

          cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements

         or information at such times and in such manner as may be required

         thereby;

 

                  (ii) within thirty days of the Closing Date, shall furnish or

          cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or

         as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and

         contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Servicer shall

         act as the representative of the Trust Fund for this purpose), together

         with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and

         shall update such information at the time or times in the manner

         required by the Code;

 

                  (iii) make or cause to be made an election, on behalf of the

         Trust Fund, to be treated as a REMIC, and make the appropriate

         designations, if applicable, in accordance with this Section 2.04 on

         the federal tax return of the Trust Fund for its first taxable year

         (and, if necessary, under applicable state law);

 

                                       30

                  (iv) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and

         imposed on the transfer of the Class A-R Certificate to a Disqualified

         Organization, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other

         which a Disqualified Organization is the record holder of an interest

         (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may

         be charged to the Person liable for such tax);

 

                  (vi) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or

         information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person

         as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local

         laws, regulations or rules; and

         Section 3.01. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor with

                       respect to the Mortgage Loans.

 

         The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the

benefit of the Certificateholders that on the Closing Date it has entered into

the Sale Agreement with CHF as Seller, that the Seller has made the following

representations and warranties with respect to each Mortgage Loan in such Sale

Agreement as of the Closing Date, which representations and warranties run to

and are for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee for the benefit of the

Certificateholders, and as to which the Depositor has assigned to the Trustee

right to cause the Seller to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as to which there has

occurred an uncured breach of representations and warranties in accordance with

the provisions of the Sale Agreement.

         [Insert Representations and Warranties]

 

         Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of

a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially

and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the interest of the

Certificateholders (or which materially and adversely affects the interests of

the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a

representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the party

discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties

and to the Seller, which notice shall specify the date of discovery. Pursuant to

the Sale Agreement, the Seller shall within 90 days from the earlier of (i) the

date specified in the notice as the date of discovery of such breach or (ii) the

date the Seller otherwise discovers such breach, cure such breach, substitute a

Mortgage Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.03 or, if the breach

relates to a particular Mortgage Loan, purchase such Mortgage Loan from the

Trustee at the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for the purchased Mortgage

Loan shall be paid to the Servicer and shall be deposited by the Servicer in the

Collection Account promptly upon receipt, and, upon receipt by the Trustee of

written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee

shall promptly release to the Seller the related Mortgage File, and the Trustee

shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment as may be

provided to it by the Servicer, without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest

in the Seller or its designee, as the case may be, any Mortgage Loan released

pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with

regard to such Mortgage Loan. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of

the Seller to cure, substitute or purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which such a

breach has occurred shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach

available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders.

 

         Section 3.02. Representations and Warranties of the Servicer.

 

         The Servicer represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the

Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders that as of the Closing Date:

 

         (a) The Servicer is a corporation duly chartered and validly existing

in good standing under the laws of the State of New Jersey, and the Servicer is

duly qualified or registered as a foreign corporation in good standing in each

jurisdiction in which the ownership or lease or its properties or the conduct of

its business requires such qualification;

 

         (b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Servicer and

its performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not violate

the Servicer's corporate charter or by-laws or constitute a default (or an event

which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under,

or result in the breach of, any material contract, agreement or other instrument

to which the Servicer is a party or which may be applicable to the Servicer or

any of its assets;

 

         (c) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery

by the Trustee and the Depositor, constitutes a valid, legal and binding

obligation of the Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms

hereof subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium

and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and to

general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is

considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

 

         (d) The Servicer is not in default with respect to any order or decree

of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal

or governmental agency, which default might have consequences that would

materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or operations

of the Servicer or its properties or might have consequences that would affect

its performance hereunder; and

 

                                       32

<PAGE>

 

         (e) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Servicer's

knowledge, threatened against the Servicer which would prohibit its entering

into this Agreement or performing its obligations under this Agreement.

 

         It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set

forth in this Section 3.02 shall survive the issuance and delivery of the

Certificates and shall be continuing as long as any Certificate shall be

outstanding or this Agreement has been terminated.

 

         Section 3.03. Option to Substitute.

 

         If the Seller is required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to

Section 2.02 or 3.01, the Seller may, at its option, within two years from the

Closing Date, remove such defective Mortgage Loan from the terms of this

Agreement and substitute another mortgage loan for such defective Mortgage Loan,

in lieu of repurchasing such defective Mortgage Loan. Any substitute Mortgage

Loan shall (a) have a Principal Balance at the time of substitution not in

excess of the Principal Balance of the removed Mortgage Loan (the amount of any

difference, plus one month's interest thereon at the Mortgage Rate borne by the

removed Mortgage Loan, being paid by the Seller and deemed to be a Principal

Prepayment to be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account), (b) have

a Mortgage Rate not less than, and not more than one percentage point greater

than, the Mortgage Rate of the removed Mortgage Loan (provided, however, that if

the Mortgage Rate on the substitute Mortgage Loan exceeds the Mortgage Rate on

the removed Mortgage Loan, the amount of that excess interest (the "Substitute

Excess Interest") shall be payable to the Residual Interest), (c) have a

remaining term to stated maturity not later than, and not more than one year

less than, the remaining term to stated maturity of the removed Mortgage Loan,

(d) be, in the reasonable determination of the Servicer, of the same type,

quality and character (including location of the Mortgaged Property (or

Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan)) as the removed

Mortgage Loan as if the breach had not occurred, (e) have a Loan-to-Value Ratio

at origination no greater than that of the removed Mortgage Loan and (f) be, in

the reasonable determination of the Servicer, in material compliance with the

representations and warranties contained in the Sale Agreement and described in

Section 3.01, as of the date of substitution.

 

         The Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the

withdrawal of the removed Mortgage Loan from this Agreement and the substitution

of such substitute Mortgage Loan therefor and shall send a copy of such amended

Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. The Sale Agreement provides that upon

such amendment the Seller shall be deemed to have made as to such substitute

Mortgage Loan the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01 as of

the date of such substitution, which shall be continuing as long as any

Certificate shall be outstanding or this Agreement has not been terminated, and

the remedies for breach of any such representation or warranty shall be as set

forth in Section 3.01. Upon such amendment, the Trustee shall review the

Mortgage File delivered to it relating to the substitute Mortgage Loan, within

the time and in the manner and with the remedies specified in Section 2.02,

except that for purposes of this Section 3.03 (other than the two-year period

specified in the first sentence of this Section), such time shall be measured

from the date of the applicable substitution. In the event of such a

substitution, accrued interest on the substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in

which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during

such month shall be the property of the Trust Fund, and accrued interest for

such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any

Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of

the Seller. The principal payment on a substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due

Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Seller, and the

principal payment on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on

such date shall be the property of the Trust Fund.

protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect

to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with

(2)       The Class A-P Certificates are principal only certificates and are not

         entitled to payments of interest.

(3)       The Class A-R Certificate represents the Residual Interest.

 

         The Certificates shall be signed by manual or facsimile signature on

behalf of the Depositor by an officer of the Depositor. Certificates bearing the

manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at the time of signature

officers of the Depositor shall bind the Depositor, notwithstanding that such

individuals or any of them have ceased to be an officer prior to the

authentication and delivery of such Certificate or did not hold such offices at

the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit

under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such

Certificate a manual authentication by an officer of the Trustee (or, if an

Authenticating Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 4.06, the

Authenticating Agent) and such authentication upon any Certificate shall be

conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly

authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date

of their authentication.

 

         Section 4.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

 

         (a) The Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed hereunder

pursuant to Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, shall cause to be kept a Certificate

         (b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at

any office or agency of the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed

under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, maintained for such purpose, the Depositor

shall execute and the Trustee (or, if an Authenticating Agent is appointed under

Section 4.06, the Authenticating Agent) shall authenticate and deliver, in the

name of the designated transferee or transferees, a Certificate of a like Class

and aggregate Percentage Interest and dated the date of authentication.

 

         (c) No transfer of a Class A-X, Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5

Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective

registration statement or otherwise in accordance with the requirements under

the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If such a transfer is to be made in

reliance upon an exemption from said Act, (i) the Depositor may require (except

with respect to the initial transfer of a Class B-3, Class B-4 or Class B-5

Certificate from [Placement Agent] and except if the transferee executes a

certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto) a written opinion of

independent counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the

Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing

the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is

being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which opinion of counsel shall not be

an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer, and

(ii) the Depositor shall require the transferee to execute a certification

substantially in the form of Exhibit H or Exhibit I.

 

         (d) No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate or the Class A-R

Certificate shall be made unless the Depositor or, if a Paying Agent has been

appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent shall have received either (i) a

representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit M, from the

transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance

satisfactory to the Depositor, to the effect that (A) such transferee is not an

employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or

any materially similar provisions of applicable federal, state or local law

("Similar Law"), or a person acting on behalf of any such plan or using the

assets of such plan, or in the case of an insurance company, the assets of any

separate accounts, or alternatively, (B) in the case of an ERISA Restricted

Certificate only, such transferee is an insurance company and the source of

funds for the purchase of such Certificate is an "insurance company general

account" within the meaning of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60

("PTCE 95-60"), 60 Fed. Reg. 35925 (July 12, 1995), and the acquisition and

holding of such Certificate is exempt under PTCE 95-60, which representation

letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer, or

(ii) in the case of an ERISA Restricted Certificate presented for registration

in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section

4975 of the Code or Similar Law (or comparable provisions of any subsequent

enactments) or a trustee of any such plan or any other Person who is using the

assets of any such plan to effect such acquisition, an Opinion of Counsel or

such other representation as required by and satisfactory to the Depositor to

the effect that the purchase and holding of such ERISA Restricted Certificate

will not result in the assets of the Trust Fund being deemed to be "plan assets"

pursuant to the Department of Labor regulations set forth in 29 C.F.R.

"2510.3-101 or to be subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA

or the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or the Code or Similar Law,

will not constitute or result in a prohibited transaction within the meaning of

Section 406 or 407 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law, and will

not subject the Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer to any obligation in

addition to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel or

other representation shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Depositor or

the Servicer.

 

         (e) At the option of a Certificateholder, a Certificate may be

exchanged for another Certificate or Certificates of authorized denominations of

a like Class, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at any office or

agency of the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section

4.05, the Paying Agent, maintained for such purpose. Whenever the Certificate is

so surrendered for exchange, the Depositor shall execute and the Authenticating

Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Certificate which the

Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate

presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the

Authenticating Agent) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written

instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Authenticating Agent duly

executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

 

                                       36

         (f) No service charge shall be made to the Holder for any transfer or

exchange of a Certificate, but the Servicer may require payment by the

Certificateholders of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge

that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of such

Certificate.

 

         (g) All Certificates surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be

destroyed by the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section

4.05, the Paying Agent, in accordance with the Trustee's or, if a Paying Agent

has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent's, standard procedures.

 

         (h) [Reserved].

 

         (i) A Disqualified Organization is prohibited from acquiring beneficial

ownership of a Class A-R Certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

contained herein, (i) unless and until the Servicer shall have received an

Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to it in form and substance, to the effect that

the absence of the conditions contained in this Section 4.02(i) would not result

in the imposition of federal tax upon the Trust Fund or cause the Trust Fund to

fail to qualify as a REMIC, no transfer, sale or other disposition of the Class

A-R Certificate (including for purposes of this section any beneficial interest

therein) may be made without the express written consent of the Certificate

Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee, which

consent is to be granted by the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate

Registrar is appointed, the Trustee only upon compliance with the requirements

of this Section and (ii) no transfer, sale or other disposition of the Class A-R

Certificate (or any beneficial interest therein) may be made to a Person who is

not a U.S. Person unless such Person furnishes the transferor and the

Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee,

with a duly completed and effective Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto) or an

Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the transfer will not be disregarded for

federal income tax purposes. As a condition to granting its consent to a

transfer of a Class A-R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar or, if no

Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee, shall require the proposed

transferee of such Certificate (including, in the case of the initial issuance

of the Class A-R Certificate, the initial Holder thereof) to execute a letter

and affidavit substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K. In the

absence of a contrary instruction from the transferor of such Certificate,

declaration (11) in such affidavit may be left blank. If the transferor requests

by written notice to the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar

is appointed, the Trustee, prior to the date of the proposed transfer that one

of the two other forms of declaration (11) of such affidavit be used, then the

Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee,

shall require that such form of declaration (11) be included in such affidavit.

         As a condition to the granting of the consent referred to in this

Section 4.02(i), prior to the transfer, sale, pledge, hypothecation or other

disposition of the Class A-R Certificate or any interest therein, the

Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee

shall require that (1) the proposed transferee deliver to the Trustee its

taxpayer identification number and state, under penalties of perjury that such

number is the social security or employer identification number, as the case may

be, of the transferee or provide an affidavit under penalties of perjury stating

that as of the date of such transfer such transferee is not and has no intention

of becoming a Disqualified Organization; (2) the proposed transferee deliver to

the Trustee an affidavit stating (i) that such transferee is not acquiring such

Class A-R Certificate as an agent, broker, nominee, or middleman for a

Disqualified Organization, (ii) if the Class A-R Certificate is a "non-economic

residual interest" within the meaning of Treas. Reg. "1.860E-1(c)(2), (X) that

no purpose of the acquisition of the Class A-R Certificate is to avoid or impede

the assessment or collection of tax, (Y) that such transferee has historically

paid its debts as they came due and will continue to pay its debts as they come

due, and (Z) that such transferee represents that it understands that, as the

holder of the non-economic residual interest, the transferee may incur tax

liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the interest and that the

transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the residual interest,

and (iii) unless the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is

appointed, the Trustee consents to the transfer of the Class A-R Certificate to

a Person who is not a U.S. Person and who has furnished either a duly completed

and effective Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto) or an Opinion of Counsel to

the effect that the transfer will not be disregarded for federal income tax

purposes, that it is a U.S. Person; (3) if so requested by the transferor in

written notice provided to the Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate

Registrar is appointed, the Trustee, prior to the date of the proposed transfer,

the proposed transferee deliver to the Trustee an affidavit that includes a

declaration made in the form of declaration (11) in the affidavit set forth in

Exhibit K requested by the transferor; and (4) the transferor deliver to the

Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee

a written certification that as of the date of such transfer it has no knowledge

and no reason to know that the affirmations described in clauses (1), (2) and

(3) were false. The Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is

appointed, the Trustee shall not grant the consent referred to in this Section

4.02(i) if it has actual knowledge that any statement made in the affidavit

issued pursuant to the preceding sentence is not true. Notwithstanding any

purported transfer, sale or other disposition of the Class A-R Certificate to a

Disqualified Organization, such transfer, sale or other disposition shall be

deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified

Organization shall not be deemed to be a Class A-R Certificateholder for any

purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions

on such Class A-R Certificate. If any purported transfer shall be in violation

of the provisions of this Section 4.02(i) then the prior holder of the Class A-R

Certificate shall, upon discovery that the transfer of such Class A-R

Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section 4.02(i), be restored to

all rights and obligations as a Holder thereof retroactive to the date of the

purported transfer of such Class A-R Certificate. The Trustee and the Servicer

shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of a

Class A-R Certificate that is not permitted by this Section 4.02(i) or for

making payments due on such Class A-R Certificate to the purported Holder

thereof or taking any other action with respect to such purported Holder under

the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was not registered

under the written certification of the Certificate Registrar or, if no

Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee as described in this Section

4.02(i). The prior Holder shall be entitled to recover from any purported Holder

of a Class A-R Certificate that was in fact not a permitted purported transferee

under this Section 4.02(i) at the time it became a purported Holder all payments

made to such purported Holder on such Class A-R Certificate; provided that the

Servicer shall not be responsible for such recovery. Each Class A-R

Certificateholder, by the acceptance of the Class A-R Certificate, shall be

deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this Section

4.02(i) and to any amendment to this Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of

the Trustee or the Servicer to ensure that the Class A-R Certificate is not

transferred to a Disqualified Organization and that any transfer of such Class

A-R Certificate will not cause the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund or

cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC. The restrictions on transfer

of the Class A-R Certificate will cease to apply and be void upon receipt by the

Certificate Registrar or, if no Certificate Registrar is appointed, the Trustee

of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such restrictions on transfer are no

longer necessary to avoid the risk of material federal taxation to the Trust

Fund or prevent the Trust Fund from qualifying as a REMIC.

 

         (j) The Servicer shall make available upon written request to each

Holder and each proposed transferee of a Class A-X, Class B-3, Class B-4 or

Class B-5 Certificate such information as may be required to permit the proposed

transfer to be effected pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933,

as amended.

Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, or the

Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying

Agent, receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft

of any Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee or, if a Paying

Agent has been appointed under Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, such security or

indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of

notice to the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section

4.05, the Paying Agent, that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide

purchaser, the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under Section

4.05, the Paying Agent, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in

lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new

Certificate of like tenor and Class. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate

under this Section, the Trustee or, if a Paying Agent has been appointed under

Section 4.05, the Paying Agent, may require of the Certificateholder the payment

of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be

imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. Any

replacement Certificate of any Class issued pursuant to this Section shall

constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership of the Percentage

Interest in the distributions to which the Certificateholders of such Class are

entitled, as if originally issued, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost

or stolen Certificate shall be found at any time, and such mutilated, destroyed,

lost or stolen Certificate shall be of no force or effect under this Agreement,

to the extent permitted by law.

 

         Section 4.04. Persons Deemed Owners.

 

         Prior to due presentation of a Certificate of any Class for

registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Paying Agent and the

Trustee may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered on the

Record Date as the owner of such Certificate and the Percentage Interest in the

distributions to which the Certificateholders of such Class are entitled on the

relevant date as the Holder of such Certificate and the Percentage Interest

represented by such Certificate for the purpose of receiving remittances

pursuant to Section 6.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the

Depositor, the Servicer nor the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the

contrary.

 

         Section 4.05. Appointment of Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar;

                       Certificate Account.

 

         The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent and a Certificate Registrar

hereunder, but such Paying Agent and such Certificate Registrar shall not be the

Depositor, the Seller, or an Affiliate of the Depositor or the Seller unless

such Paying Agent or such Certificate Registrar is the Corporate Trust

Department of Chase. In the event of an appointment of such Paying Agent, no

later than two Business Days prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall

deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent from funds on deposit in

the Collection Account a sum up to the Available Distribution Amount, such sum

to be held in trust for the benefit of Certificateholders in a segregated

account (the "Certificate Account") which shall be an Eligible Account in the

name of "[TRUSTEE], as Trustee, in trust for and for the benefit of the

Certificateholders of Multi-Class Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Chase

Mortgage Finance Corporation, Series [_______] Certificate Account". The

Servicer shall cause the Paying Agent to perform each of the obligations of the

Paying Agent set forth herein and shall be liable to the Trustee and the

Certificateholders for failure of the Paying Agent to perform such obligations.

If the Paying Agent is a party other than the Trustee, the Trustee shall have no

liability in connection with the performance or failure of performance of the

Paying Agent. The Trustee designates the Corporate Trust Department of Chase as

the initial Paying Agent and initial Certificate Registrar. Only the Trustee may

remove the Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar, and may do so at will.

         If, on any Distribution Date, the Paying Agent fails to distribute to

Certificateholders the amounts then on deposit in the Certificate Account for

the purposes specified herein, the Trustee shall be obligated promptly upon its

knowledge thereof to distribute such amounts to Certificateholders in the manner

and in such amounts based upon information provided by the Servicer; provided

that in no event shall the Trustee be obligated for purposes of this paragraph

to distribute to Certificateholders any amounts other than those on deposit in

the Certificate Account or expend any funds not reimbursable pursuant to Section

10.05 hereof, except as otherwise provided herein. Notwithstanding anything in

this Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall be liable to the Servicer and

the Certificateholders only for its negligence in connection with the withdrawal

of funds from the Certificate Account by the Trustee and the distribution of

such funds by the Trustee to Certificateholders pursuant to this paragraph.

 

         The Servicer shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to

execute and deliver to the Servicer and the Trustee on the Closing Date or, if

subsequently appointed, on the date of appointment, a written instrument

executed by an officer of the Paying Agent in which such Paying Agent shall

agree with the Servicer and the Trustee that such Paying Agent will hold all

sums held by it for the payment to Certificateholders in trust for the benefit

of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such

Certificateholders.

 

         Section 4.06. Authenticating Agents.

 

         (a) The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents (each, an

"Authenticating Agent") which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the

Trustee in authenticating the Certificates. Wherever reference is made in this

Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee's

certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include

authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a

certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an

Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent must be an entity organized and

doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state,

having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under

such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by

federal or state authorities. If the Authenticating Agent is a party other than

the Trustee, the Trustee shall have no liability in connection with the

performance or failure of performance of the Authenticating Agent. [The Trustee

hereby appoints Chase as the initial Authenticating Agent.]

 

         (b) Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or

converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any

merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a

party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any

Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the

execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee

or the Authenticating Agent.

 

         (c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least

30 days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Depositor.

The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by

giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the

Depositor. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or

in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in

accordance within the provisions of this Section 4.06, the Trustee may appoint a

successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to

the Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of

Certificates. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its

appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties

and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if

originally named as Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent

shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 4.06. No

Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken

by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Any Authenticating Agent shall be

entitled to reasonable compensation for its services and any such compensation

shall be payable solely by the Trustee, without any right of reimbursement from

the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trust Fund.

                 ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

 

         Section 5.01. Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.

 

         The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans and shall

have full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided

in Section 5.02, to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or

desirable in connection with such servicing and administration, all in

accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Without limiting the generality of

the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer

shall, pursuant to a power of attorney granted hereby by the Trustee for such

purposes, when the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be, believes it

appropriate in its best judgment, execute and deliver, on behalf of the

Certificateholders and the Trustee 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 Mortgage Loans and with

respect to the Mortgaged Properties; provided, however, that subject to the

provisions of this paragraph, the Servicer may allow a modification with respect

to a Mortgage Loan if the Servicer would take such action in the ordinary course

of its business if it were the owner of the Mortgage Loan. The Servicer may

agree to a modification of any Mortgage Loan (the "Relevant Mortgage Loan") upon

the request of the related Mortgagor, provided that (i) the modification is in

lieu of a refinancing and the Mortgage Rate on the Relevant Mortgage Loan, as

modified, is approximately a prevailing market rate of newly-originated mortgage

loans having similar terms, (ii) the aggregate of the adjusted bases of all

Modified Mortgage Loans (including the Relevant Mortgage Loans) plus the

aggregate adjusted bases of any assets that are not qualified mortgages or

permitted investments under Section 860G(a) of the Code that are assets of the

Trust Fund established hereunder at all times on any day is less than one

percent of the aggregate of the adjusted bases of all assets of the Trust Fund

(including such Modified Mortgage Loans) on such day, and (iii) the Servicer

purchases the Relevant Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund as described below.

Effective immediately after such modification, and, in any event, on the same

Business Day on which the modification occurs, all right, title and interest of

the Trustee in and to the Modified Mortgage Loan shall automatically be deemed

transferred and assigned to the Servicer and all benefits and burdens of

ownership thereof, including without limitation the right to accrued interest

thereon from and including the date of modification and the risk of default

thereon, shall pass to the Servicer. To confirm such transfer and assignment,

the Servicer, as servicer hereunder, as soon as practicable shall execute an

instrument of assignment of the Modified Mortgage Loan without recourse in

customary form to the Servicer in its individual capacity. The Servicer shall

deposit the Purchase Price for any Modified Mortgage Loan in the Collection

Account pursuant to Section 5.08. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written

notification of any such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee

shall release to the Servicer the related Mortgage File and shall execute and

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

recourse, as shall be necessary more fully to vest in the Servicer any Modified

Mortgage Loan previously transferred and assigned pursuant thereto.

 

         The Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee for execution and redelivery

to the Servicer or, at the request of the Servicer, a Sub-Servicer, such

documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and

administer the Mortgage Loans and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the

Servicer's application thereof. The Servicer agrees to remain eligible as either

a FNMA or FHLMC seller/servicer, or both, for so long as it is Servicer.

 

         All Servicing Advances made by the Servicer in effecting the timely

payment of taxes, insurance and assessments on the properties subject to the

Mortgage Loans shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions

to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage

Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit, and such

Servicing Advances shall be recoverable by the Servicer to the extent permitted

by Sections 5.09 and 5.23.

         Section 5.02. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between Servicer and

                       Sub-Servicers; Enforcement of Sub-Servicer's Obligations.

 

         (a) The Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with

Sub-Servicers for the servicing and administration of all or part of the

Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that any subservicer or other subcontractor

that performs any of the functions indentified in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB

must agree in writing that, if the Servicer or the Depositor determines that

such subcontractor was "participating in the servicing function" within the

meaning of Item 1122, such subcontractor will comply with the provisions of

Sections 5.25 and 5.26 to the same extent as if it were the Servicer. References

in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in servicing

the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on

behalf of the Servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement will be upon such terms and

conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Servicer and

the Sub-Servicer have agreed. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing

promptly upon the appointment of any Sub-Servicer. For purposes of this

Agreement, the receipt by the Sub-Servicer of any amount with respect to a

Mortgage Loan (other than amounts representing servicing compensation or

reimbursement for an advance) shall be treated as the receipt by the Servicer of

such amount. The Sub-Servicer shall deposit all such funds in an Eligible

Account.

 

         (b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for

the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the

obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such

enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims,

termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements as appropriate, and the pursuit of other

remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such

time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it

the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of

such enforcement at its own expense but shall be reimbursed therefor only (i)

from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent, if

any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related

Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys'

fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.

 

         Section 5.03. Successor Sub-Servicers.

 

         The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement

that may exist in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing

Agreement and without any limitation by virtue of this Agreement.

 

         Section 5.04. Liability of the Servicer.

 

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

this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a

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

the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and

Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in

accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such

obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or

arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the

same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone

were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be

entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for indemnification of

the Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or

modify such indemnification.

 

         Section 5.05. No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicer and

                      Trustee or Certificateholders.

 

         Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other

transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer

in its capacity as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between

the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone, and the Trustee and Certificateholders

shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights,

obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer.

 

                                       42

<PAGE>

 

          Section 5.06. Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreement.

 

         If the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer

hereunder (including by reason of any Event of Default), the Servicer shall

thereupon terminate each Sub-Servicing Agreement that may have been entered

into, and the Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer and the Trustee

shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the Servicer's interest therein or to

have replaced the Servicer as a party to any such Sub-Servicing Agreement.

 

         Section 5.07. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.

 

         Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and interest on

all Mortgage Loans are paid in full, the Servicer will proceed diligently to

collect all payments due under each of the Mortgage Loans when the same shall

become due and payable; provided, however, that the Servicer may elect, to the

extent consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to waive any late payment

charge and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this

Agreement, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to

conventional mortgage loans held in its own portfolio. Any such arrangements

shall not diminish or otherwise affect the Servicer's obligation to make

Advances pursuant to Section 6.03.

 

         Section 5.08. Establishment of Collection Account; Deposit in

                       Collection Account.

 

         With respect to all of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall segregate

and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to a Mortgage Loan separate

and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and

maintain one or more Collection Accounts for the benefit of the

Certificateholders (collectively, the "Collection Account") which are Eligible

Accounts, in the form of a trust account, in the name of "[TRUSTEE], as Trustee,

in trust for and for the benefit of the Certificateholders of Multi-Class

Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Servicer, Chase

Mortgage Finance Corporation, Series [_______] - Collection Account." Such

Collection Account shall be established with a commercial bank, a savings bank

or a savings and loan association. The Servicer may invest, or cause the

institution maintaining the Collection Account to invest, moneys in the

Collection Account in Eligible Investments, which shall mature not later than

the second Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date next following the

date of such investment and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its

maturity. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the

benefit of the Servicer as additional compensation and shall be subject to its

withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in

respect of any such investments (to the extent not offset by income from other

such investments) shall be deposited in the Collection Account by the Servicer

out of its own funds immediately as realized; provided, however, that if the

Trustee becomes Servicer, the Trustee shall not be required to deposit the

amount of any loss incurred prior to it becoming Servicer.

 

         The Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection

Account on a daily basis (and not later than the second Business Day following

receipt), and retain therein:

 

         (a) All payments which were received after the Cut-off Date on account

of principal of the Mortgage Loans (other than the principal portion of Monthly

Payments due on or before the Cut-off Date), and all Principal Prepayments

collected on or after the Cut-off Date;

 

                                       43

<PAGE>

 

         (b) All payments which were received after the Cut-off Date on account

of interest on the Mortgage Loans (net of the Servicing Fee)(other than the

interest portion of Monthly Payments due on or before the Cut-off Date);

 

         (c) Net Liquidation Proceeds;

 

         (d) All Insurance Proceeds received by the Servicer under any title,

hazard or other insurance policy, including amounts required to be deposited

pursuant to Sections 5.16 and 5.20, other than proceeds to be held in the Escrow

Account or applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property (or

Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan) or released to the

Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures or

otherwise applied or held as required by applicable law;

 

         (e) All awards or settlements in respect of condemnation proceedings

affecting any Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case

of a Co-op Loan), which are not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the

Servicer's normal servicing procedures;

 

         (f) All Repurchase Proceeds;

 

         (g) All Advances made by the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.03;

 

         (h) All amounts representing revenues under the insurance provided

pursuant to Section 5.19 to the extent of any losses borne by any

Certificateholder;

 

         (i) All revenues from any Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged

Property in the case of a Co-op Loan) acquired by the Servicer by foreclosure or

deed in lieu of foreclosure net of any Servicing Advances with respect to such

Mortgaged Property; and

 

         (j) Any other amounts required to be deposited therein pursuant to this

Agreement.

 

         The Servicer shall maintain accounting records on a Mortgage

Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis with respect to the Collection Account. The Servicer

shall give notice to the Trustee, the Depositor and each Rating Agency of any

change in the location of the Collection Account, prior to the use thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Monthly Payment or any

portion thereof shall be permitted to remain in the Collection Account for more

than 12 months. Any Monthly Payment or any portion thereof that has remained in

the Collection Account for 12 months shall be deemed a Principal Prepayment and

distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement

on the Distribution Date immediately following the end of such 12 month period.

 

         Section 5.09. Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Account.

 

         The Servicer may, from time to time, withdraw funds from the Collection

Account for the following purposes:

 

         (a) to reimburse itself for Advances made pursuant to Section 6.03

(including amounts to reimburse the related Sub-Servicer for advances made

pursuant to the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement), the Servicer's and the

Sub-Servicer's right to receive reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (i)

being limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loans which represent

Late Collections (net of the Servicing Fees) with respect to those particular

Mortgage Loans;

 

         (b) to pay itself the Servicing Fee;

 

                                        44

<PAGE>

 

         (c) to reimburse itself for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, or to pay

the related Sub-Servicer any unreimbursed Servicing Advances, the Servicer's

right to receive reimbursement or make payments to the Sub-Servicer pursuant to

this subclause (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to related

Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, and condemnation awards;

 

         (d) to reimburse itself (or the related Sub-Servicer) or the Depositor

Section 5.01 or 5.16;

 

         (e) to reimburse itself (or the related Sub-Servicer) for any

Nonrecoverable Advances;

         (g) to make deposits into the Certificate Account in the amounts and in

the manner provided for herein;

 

         (h) to make payments to itself or others pursuant to any provision of

this Agreement, and to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the

termination of this Agreement; and

 

         (i) to withdraw amounts deposited in error.

 

         Section 5.10. Establishment of Escrow Account; Deposits in Escrow

                        Account.

 

         With respect to those Mortgage Loans on which the Servicer or any

Sub-Servicer collects Escrow Payments, if any, the Servicer shall, and shall

cause the Sub-Servicer to, segregate and hold all funds collected and received

pursuant to each such Mortgage Loan which constitute Escrow Payments separate

and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and

maintain one or more Escrow Accounts, in the form of trust accounts. Such Escrow

Accounts shall be established with a commercial bank, a mutual savings bank or a

savings and loan association the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC in a

manner which shall provide maximum available insurance thereunder, and which may

be drawn on by the Servicer. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee of

the location of any Escrow Account, and of any change thereof, prior to the use

thereof. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to require the Servicer to

collect Escrow Payments in the absence of a provision in the related Mortgage

requiring such collection.

 

         The Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in any Escrow

Account or Accounts on a daily basis, and retain therein, (i) all Escrow

Payments collected on account of any Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of

effecting timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this

Agreement and (ii) all amounts representing proceeds of any hazard insurance

policy which are to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged

Property (or Underlying Mortgaged Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan). The

Servicer shall make withdrawals therefrom only to effect such payments as are

required under this Agreement, and for such other purposes as are set forth in

Section 5.11. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain any interest paid on

funds deposited in the Escrow Account by the depository institution other than

interest on escrowed funds required by law to be paid to the related Mortgagor

and, to the extent required by law, the Servicer shall pay interest on escrowed

funds to the related Mortgagor notwithstanding that the Escrow Account is

non-interest-bearing or that interest paid thereon is insufficient for such

purposes.

 

         Section 5.11. Permitted Withdrawals from Escrow Account.

 

                                       45

<PAGE>

 

         Withdrawals from any Escrow Account or Accounts may be made by the

Servicer only (i) to effect timely payments of ground rents, taxes, assessments,

water rates, Standard Hazard Policy premiums, or other items constituting Escrow

Payments for the related Mortgage, (ii) to reimburse the Servicer for any

Servicing Advance made by the Servicer, with respect to a related Mortgage Loan

but only from amounts received on the related Mortgage Loan which represent late

payments or collections of Escrow Payments thereunder, (iii) to refund to any

Mortgagor any funds found to be in excess of the amounts required under the

terms of the related Mortgage Loan or under applicable law, (iv) for application

to restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage, (v) to

pay to the Servicer, or to the Mortgagor to the extent required by law, any

interest paid on the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, (vi) to clear and

terminate the Escrow Account on the termination of this Agreement or (vii) to

withdraw amounts deposited in error.

 

         Section 5.12. Payment of Taxes, Insurance and Other Charges.

 

         With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall maintain, or

cause to be maintained, accurate records reflecting any delinquencies or

nonpayments with regard to taxes, assessments and Standard Hazard Policy

premiums. The Servicer assumes full responsibility for ensuring the payment of

all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of each

Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the

Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such

payments.

 

         Section 5.13. Transfer of Accounts.

 

         The Servicer may transfer the Collection Account or Escrow Account to

an Eligible Account maintained with a different depository institution from time

to time.

 

         Section 5.14. [Reserved].

 

         Section 5.15. Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies.

 

         The Servicer shall not take, or permit any Sub-Servicer to take, any

action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance

Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Servicer or Sub-Servicer,

would have been covered thereunder. Except as otherwise required by applicable

law, to the extent coverage is available and until the Loan-to-Value Ratio of

the related Mortgage Loan is reduced to 80%, the Servicer shall keep or cause to

be kept in full force and effect each such Primary Insurance Policy in an amount

equal to the amount by which the unpaid principal balance of the related

Mortgage Loan exceeds 75% of the value (as described in the definition of

Loan-to-Value Ratio) of the related Mortgaged Property (or Underlying Mortgaged

Property, in the case of a Co-op Loan). The Servicer shall not cancel or refuse

to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy or consent to any Sub-Servicer

canceling or refusing to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy applicable to a

Mortgage Loan subserviced by it, that is in effect at the date of the initial

issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force hereunder

unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed

policy is maintained with an insurer whose claims-paying ability is rated at

least as high as the original insurer or is acceptable to each Rating Agency as

confirmed in writing by each such Rating Agency, unless otherwise required by

law.

 

         Section 5.16. Maintenance of Standard Hazard Policies.

 

                                       46

<PAGE>

 

         (a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan

(other than a Co-op Loan) a Standard Hazard Policy with extended coverage as is

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

is equal to the greater of (i) the lesser of (A) 100% of the maximum insurable

value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (B) the principal

balance owing on such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) such amount required to prevent the

Mortgagor or mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is

in an area identified at the time of origination in the Federal Register by the

Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such

flood insurance has been made available) the Servicer will cause to be

maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current

guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable

insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of

(i) the outstanding Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the full

insurable value or (iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available

under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. The Servicer shall

also maintain on property acquired upon foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of

foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan, fire and hazard insurance with extended

coverage in an amount which is not less than the lesser of (i) the outstanding

principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or (ii) the maximum insurable value of

the improvements which are a part of such property, liability insurance, and, to

the extent available, flood insurance in an amount as provided above. Any

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

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

Mortgage or property acquired in liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, or released

to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Servicer's normal servicing procedures)

shall be deposited, subject to applicable law, in the Collection Account. It is

understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance need be

required by the Servicer of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in

respect of a Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and

regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such

additional insurance. All such Standard Hazard Policies and other policies shall

be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer or

its designee. Any such Standard Hazard Policies or other policies may be in the

form of blanket policies; provided, however, that in the event of any claim

arising in connection with a hazard loss the Servicer shall be obligated, in the

case of blanket insurance policies, to deposit in the Collection Account any

amount not payable under such blanket policy because of a deductible clause in

such policy and not otherwise payable under an individual policy. The Servicer

shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in selecting either

his insurance carrier or agent; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not

accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such

companies are acceptable insurers in the discretion of the Servicer.

 

         (b) Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any of the

foregoing insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly

distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the

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

Such costs (other than the costs of maintaining a blanket hazard insurance

policy not attributable to a specific Mortgaged Property) shall be recoverable

by the Servicer from the Mortgagor or out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation

Proceeds or to the extent permitted by Section 5.09.

 

         Section 5.17. [Reserved].

 

         Section 5.18. [Reserved].

 

         Section 5.19. Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.

 

         The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity

bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with

responsible companies on all officers, employees or other persons acting on

behalf of the Servicer in any capacity with regard to the Mortgage Loans to

handle funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Mortgage Loans. Any

such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure

the Servicer against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud,

errors and omissions and negligent acts of such persons and shall be maintained

at a level acceptable to FNMA. No provision of this Section 5.19 requiring such

fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the

Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. Upon

request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee

a certification evidencing coverage under such fidelity bond and insurance

policy. Promptly upon receipt of any notice from the surety or the insurer that

such fidelity bond or insurance policy has been terminated or modified in a

materially adverse manner, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee and each Rating

Agency of any such termination or modification.

in the case of a Co-op Loan) is conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer shall

enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to

the extent permitted by such Mortgage Note or Mortgage, applicable law and

governmental regulations. Subject to the foregoing, the Servicer is authorized

to take or enter into an assumption or substitution agreement from or with the

Person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed. In connection

with such assumption or substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting
