definition of Trust Fund, and subject to this Agreement   (including the Mortgage

Loans but   excluding   the   Rounding   Account,   the Reserve   Fund and the Initial

Monthly Payment Fund), as two real estate mortgage   investment conduits (each, a

"REMIC") for federal income tax purposes.

 

        The terms and provisions of the Standard   Terms are hereby   incorporated

by reference herein as though set forth in full herein. If any term or provision

contained   herein shall   conflict   with or be   inconsistent   with any   provision

contained   in the   Standard   Terms,   the terms   and   provisions   of this   Series

Supplement   shall govern.   Any   cross-reference   to a section of the Pooling and

Servicing   Agreement,   to the extent the terms of the Standard   Terms and Series

Supplement conflict with respect to that section,   shall be a cross-reference to

the   related   section   of the   Series   Supplement.   All   capitalized   terms   not

otherwise   defined   herein   shall have the   meanings   set forth in the   Standard

(2)      The Certificates, other than the Class R Certificates, shall be issuable

        in minimum   dollar   denominations   as   indicated   above (by   Certificate

        Principal   Balance or   Notional   Amount,   as   applicable)   and   integral

        multiples   of $1 (or   $1,000 in the case of the Class   A-2,   Class   B-1,

        Residential Funding as "tax matters person" pursuant to Section 10.01(c)

        and (e) in a minimum denomination   representing a Percentage Interest of

        not less than 0.01%.

               Relevant   Anniversary)   of the Net Mortgage Rates of all Mortgage

               Loans as of the Relevant   Anniversary less 1.25% per annum, (y) a

 

 

                                       4

               apply,   and on which any   Class of   Subordinate   Certificates   is

               outstanding   with a Certificate   Principal   Balance   greater than

                zero:

 

                      (a) in the case of the Class of   Subordinate   Certificates

               then   outstanding   with the Highest Priority and each other Class

               of   Subordinate   Certificates   for which the   related   Prepayment

               Balances   immediately   prior   to such   date of (1) the   Class   of

               Subordinate    Certificates   then   outstanding   with   the   Highest

               Priority and (2) all other   Classes of   Subordinate   Certificates

               Section 4.02 of this Series Supplement (determined without regard

               to   the   proviso   to the   definition   of   "Subordinate   Principal

               Distribution   Amount") would result in a distribution   in respect

               of principal of any Class or Classes of Subordinate   Certificates

               in an amount   greater than the   remaining   Certificate   Principal

               Balance thereof (any such class, a "Maturing   Class"),   then: (a)

               the   Prepayment   Distribution   Percentage of each Maturing   Class

               shall be   reduced to a level   that,   when   applied   as   described

               above, would exactly reduce the Certificate   Principal Balance of

                such Class to zero; (b) the Prepayment Distribution Percentage of

               each other Class of Subordinate   Certificates   (any such Class, a

               "Non-Maturing   Class") shall be   recalculated   in accordance with

               Principal Balance of each Maturing Class had been reduced to zero

               (such percentage as recalculated, the "Recalculated Percentage");

               aggregate   percentage,   shall be allocated among the Non-Maturing

               Classes    in    proportion    to   their    respective    Recalculated

               Percentages (the portion of such aggregate reduction so allocated

               to any Non-Maturing Class, the "Adjustment Percentage");   and (d)

               for   purposes   of   such    Distribution    Date,    the    Prepayment

               Distribution Percentage of each Non-Maturing Class shall be equal

               to the sum of (1) the Prepayment Distribution Percentage thereof,

               calculated in accordance   with the   provisions in paragraph   (ii)

               above as if the   Certificate   Principal   Balance of each Maturing

               Class   had not   been   reduced   to   zero,   plus   (2)   the   related

                Adjustment Percentage.

        Date;

 

(ii)     The   information   set forth in Exhibit One hereto   with   respect to each

        thereof),   the related Seller has represented   that either (a) the value

        of the related   Mortgaged   Property as of the date the Mortgage Loan was

        originated was not less than the appraised value of such property at the

        time   of   origination   of   the   refinanced   Mortgage   Loan   or   (b)   the

        Loan-to-Value   Ratio of the Mortgage Loan as of the date of   origination

        of   the   Mortgage   Loan   generally   meets   the   Company's    underwriting

        guidelines;

 

(xvi)    Interest on each   Mortgage   Loan is calculated on the basis of a 360-day

        year consisting of twelve 30-day months;

 

(xvii)   None of the   Mortgage   Loans   contains   in the related   Mortgage   File a

        Destroyed Mortgage Note; and

 

(xviii) None of the   Mortgage   Loans   are   Pledged   Asset   Loans   or   Additional

        Collateral Loans.

 

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in

this Section 2.03(b) shall survive delivery of the respective   Mortgage Files to

the Trustee or any Custodian.

 

        Upon discovery by any of the Company, the Master Servicer,   the Trustee,

the    Certificate    Insurer   or   any   Custodian   of   a   breach   of   any   of   the

representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03(b) that materially

and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders or the Certificate

Insurer in any   Mortgage   Loan,   the party   discovering   such breach   shall give

prompt   written   notice to the other parties (any   Custodian   being so obligated

under a Custodial Agreement);   provided,   however, that in the event of a breach

of the representation and warranty set forth in Section 2.03(b)(xii),   the party

discovering   such breach shall give such notice   within five days of   discovery.

Within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of breach,   the Company

shall either (i) cure such breach in all material respects or (ii) purchase such

Mortgage   Loan from the Trust Fund at the   Purchase   Price and in the manner set

forth in   Section   2.02;   provided   that the   Company   shall   have the option to

substitute a Qualified   Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for such Mortgage Loan

if such   substitution   occurs   within   two years   following   the   Closing   Date;

provided   that if the   omission or defect   would cause the   Mortgage   Loan to be

other than a "qualified   mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code,

any such cure or repurchase   must occur within 90 days from the date such breach

was discovered. Any such substitution shall be effected by the Company under the

same terms and   conditions   as provided   in Section   2.04 for   substitutions   by

Residential   Funding.   It is   understood   and agreed that the   obligation of the

Company to cure such   breach or to so purchase or   substitute   for any   Mortgage

Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing   shall   constitute

the sole remedy   respecting such breach available to the   Certificateholders   or

the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.   Notwithstanding the foregoing,

the Company shall not be required to cure breaches or purchase or substitute for

Mortgage   Loans as   provided in this   Section   2.03(b) if the   substance   of the

breach   of a   representation   set   forth   above   also   constitutes   fraud in the

origination of the Mortgage Loan.

                          ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING

 

                                OF MORTGAGE LOANS

 

Section 3.01    Master Servicer to Act as Servicer.

 

(a) The Master   Servicer   shall   service and   administer   the Mortgage   Loans in

accordance   with the terms of this Agreement and the respective   Mortgage Loans,

following such procedures as it would employ in its good faith business judgment

and which are normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities, and

in the   case of the   Mortgage   Loans   being   subserviced   by Wells   Fargo,   such

procedures that comply with applicable federal, state and local law and that are

in accordance with accepted   mortgage   servicing   practices of prudent   mortgage

lending   institutions which service loans of the same type as the Mortgage Loans

in the   jurisdiction   in which the related   Mortgaged   Property is located,   and

shall have full power and   authority,   acting alone or through   Subservicers   as

provided in Section 3.02,   to do any and all things which it may deem   necessary

or desirable in   connection   with such   servicing   and   administration.   Without

limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or

in the name of a Subservicer   is hereby   authorized and empowered by the Trustee

when the Master   Servicer or the   Subservicer,   as the case may be,   believes it

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

Certificateholders,   the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee or any of them, any

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

release or discharge,   or of consent to assumption or modification in connection

with a proposed   conveyance,   or of assignment of any Mortgage and Mortgage Note

in connection   with the   repurchase of a Mortgage Loan and all other   comparable

instruments,   or with respect to the   modification or re-recording of a Mortgage

for the purpose of correcting the Mortgage, the subordination of the lien of the

Mortgage in favor of a public utility company or government   agency or unit with

powers of   eminent   domain,   the   taking of a deed in lieu of   foreclosure,   the

commencement, prosecution or completion of judicial or non-judicial foreclosure,

the conveyance of a Mortgaged   Property to the related Insurer,   the acquisition

of any property   acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure,   or the

management,   marketing and conveyance of any property acquired by foreclosure or

deed in lieu of foreclosure   with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect

to the Mortgaged   Properties.   The Master   Servicer   further is   authorized   and

empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the   Certificateholders   and the Trustee,

in its own name or in the name of the   Subservicer,   when the Master Servicer or

the   Subservicer,   as the case may be,   believes it is   appropriate   in its best

judgment to register   any   Mortgage   Loan on the   MERS(R)   System,   or cause the

removal from the   registration   of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R)   System,   to

execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the   Certificateholders or any

of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable   instruments

with respect to such   assignment   or   re-recording   of a Mortgage in the name of

MERS,   solely as nominee for the Trustee and its   successors   and   assigns.   Any

expenses   incurred in   connection   with the actions   described in the   preceding

sentence   shall be borne by the   Master   Servicer   in   accordance   with   Section

3.16(c), with no right of reimbursement;   provided, that if, as a result of MERS

discontinuing   or becoming unable to continue   operations in connection with the

MERS System,   it becomes necessary to remove any Mortgage Loan from registration

on the MERS System and to arrange for the assignment of the related Mortgages to

the   Trustee,   then any related   expenses   shall be   reimbursable   to the Master

Servicer.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 3.07(a), the Master

Servicer   shall not permit any   modification   with respect to any Mortgage   Loan

that would both   constitute a sale or exchange of such   Mortgage Loan within the

meaning   of   Section   1001 of the   Code   and any   proposed,   temporary   or final

regulations   promulgated   thereunder   (other than in connection   with a proposed

conveyance   or   assumption   of such Mortgage Loan that is treated as a Principal

Prepayment   in Full   pursuant   to Section   3.13(d)   hereof)   and cause any REMIC

 

 

                                       23

<PAGE>

 

formed under the Series Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.

The Trustee   shall   furnish the Master   Servicer with any powers of attorney and

other   documents   necessary   or   appropriate   to enable the Master   Servicer   to

service and administer the Mortgage   Loans.   The Trustee shall not be liable for

any action   taken by the Master   Servicer   or any   Subservicer   pursuant to such

powers of attorney.   In servicing and administering any Nonsubserviced   Mortgage

Loan,   the Master   Servicer   shall,   to the extent   not   inconsistent   with this

Agreement,   comply with the Program   Guide as if it were the   originator of such

Mortgage Loan and had retained the servicing   rights and   obligations in respect

thereof.   In connection with servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the

Master   Servicer   and any   Affiliate   of the   Master   Servicer   (i) may   perform

services such as   appraisals   and   brokerage   services that are not   customarily

provided by servicers   of mortgage   loans,   and shall be entitled to   reasonable

compensation   therefor in accordance   with Section 3.10 and (ii) may, at its own

discretion and on behalf of the Trustee,   obtain credit   information in the form

of a "credit score" from a credit repository.

 

(b)      (See Section 3.01(b) - (c) of the Standard Terms)

 

Section                3.02 Subservicing   Agreements   Between Master Servicer and

                      Subservicers;   Enforcement of   Subservicers'   and Sellers'

                      Obligations.

 

(a) The Master Servicer may continue in effect   Subservicing   Agreements entered

into by Residential Funding and Subservicers prior to the execution and delivery

of   this   Agreement,   and   may   enter   into   new   Subservicing   Agreements   with

Subservicers,   for   the   servicing   and   administration   of all or   some   of the

Mortgage Loans. Each Subservicer shall be either (i) an institution the accounts

of which are   insured by the FDIC or (ii)   another   entity   that   engages in the

business of originating or servicing mortgage loans, and in either case shall be

authorized   to   transact   business   in the state or states in which the   related

Mortgaged   Properties   it is to   service   are   situated,   if and   to the   extent

required by applicable law to enable the   Subservicer to perform its obligations

hereunder and under the   Subservicing   Agreement,   and in either case shall be a

Freddie Mac,   Fannie Mae or HUD approved   mortgage   servicer.   In addition,   any

Subservicer   of a   Mortgage   Loan   insured   by the FHA   must be an   FHA-approved

servicer,   and any Subservicer of a Mortgage Loan guaranteed by the VA must be a

VA-approved   servicer.   Each Subservicer of a Mortgage Loan shall be entitled to

receive and retain,   as provided in the related   Subservicing   Agreement   and in

Section 3.07, the related Subservicing Fee from payments of interest received on

such Mortgage   Loan after payment of all amounts   required to be remitted to the

Master   Servicer in respect of such Mortgage Loan. For any Mortgage Loan that is

a Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive

and retain an amount equal to the   Subservicing   Fee from   payments of interest.

Unless the context otherwise   requires,   references in this Agreement to actions

taken or to be taken by the Master   Servicer in   servicing   the   Mortgage   Loans

include   actions taken or to be taken by a   Subservicer   on behalf of the Master

Servicer.   Each Subservicing Agreement will be upon such terms and conditions as

are generally required by, permitted by or consistent with the Program Guide and

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

Subservicer have agreed;   provided that, the Subservicing   Agreement between the

Master   Servicer and Wells Fargo will be upon such terms and   conditions   as are

consistent   with this Agreement and as the Master   Servicer and the   Subservicer

have   agreed,   which may not be   consistent   with the   Program   Guide.   With the

 

 

                                       24

<PAGE>

 

approval of the Master   Servicer,   a   Subservicer   may   delegate   its   servicing

obligations to third-party servicers, but such Subservicer will remain obligated

under the related Subservicing Agreement.   The Master Servicer and a Subservicer

may enter into amendments thereto or a different form of Subservicing Agreement,

and the form referred to or included in the Program Guide is merely provided for

information   and shall not be deemed to limit in any respect the   discretion   of

the Master Servicer to modify or enter into different   Subservicing   Agreements;

provided,   however,   that   any   such   amendments   or   different   forms   shall be

consistent   with and not violate the   provisions of either this Agreement or the

Program   Guide in a manner   which   would   materially   and   adversely   affect the

interests   of   the    Certificateholders.    The   Program    Guide   and   any   other

Subservicing   Agreement   entered   into   between   the   Master   Servicer   and   any

Subservicer   shall require the   Subservicer   to accurately   and fully report its

borrower credit files to each of the Credit Repositories in a timely manner.

(a) In those cases where a Subservicer   is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to

a   Subservicing   Agreement,   the Master   Servicer   shall cause the   Subservicer,

pursuant to the   Subservicing   Agreement,   to establish and maintain one or more

Subservicing   Accounts which shall be an Eligible Account or, if such account is

not an Eligible Account, shall generally satisfy the requirements of the Program

Guide and be otherwise acceptable to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency.

The   Subservicer   will be   required   thereby   to deposit   into the   Subservicing

Account on a daily basis,   or with respect to the Mortgage Loans   subserviced by

Wells Fargo,   within two (2) Business Days of receipt,   all proceeds of Mortgage

Loans received by the Subservicer,   less its Subservicing   Fees and unreimbursed

advances and expenses, to the extent permitted by the Subservicing Agreement. If

the Subservicing   Account is not an Eligible Account,   the Master Servicer shall

be deemed to have received such monies upon receipt thereof by the   Subservicer.

The   Subservicer   shall not be required to deposit in the   Subservicing   Account

payments or collections   in the nature of prepayment   charges or late charges or

assumption fees. On or before the date specified in the Program Guide, but in no

event later than the   Determination   Date,   the Master   Servicer shall cause the

 

 

                                       25

<PAGE>

 

Subservicer,   pursuant   to the   Subservicing   Agreement,   to remit to the Master

Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account all funds held in the Subservicing

Account with respect to each Mortgage Loan serviced by such Subservicer that are

required to be remitted to the Master   Servicer.   The   Subservicer   will also be

required,   pursuant to the Subservicing   Agreement, to advance on such scheduled

date of   remittance   amounts   equal to any   scheduled   monthly   installments   of

principal   and interest   less its   Subservicing   Fees on any Mortgage   Loans for

which payment was not received by the   Subservicer.   This   obligation to advance

with respect to each   Mortgage   Loan will continue up to and including the first

of the month following the date on which the related Mortgaged   Property is sold

at a   foreclosure   sale   or is   acquired   by the   Trust   Fund by deed in lieu of

foreclosure   or   otherwise.   All such advances   received by the Master   Servicer

shall be deposited promptly by it in the Custodial Account.

        pursuant to Section 3.07 that are attributable to the Mortgage Loans for

        the following purposes:

        or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,   such

        withdrawal   right   being   limited to   amounts   received   on the   related

        Mortgage Loans   (including,   for this purpose,   REO Proceeds,   Insurance

         Proceeds,   Liquidation   Proceeds   and   proceeds   from the   purchase of a

        Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02,   2.03, 2.04, 4.07 or 9.01) which

        Modified   Mortgage   Loan) on the amount   specified   in the   amortization

        schedule of the related   Mortgage Loan as the principal   balance thereof

        at the beginning of the period   respecting   which such interest was paid

        after giving effect to any previous Curtailments;

Section 3.14    Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

 

(a) The Master   Servicer shall   foreclose upon or otherwise   comparably   convert

(which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of properties securing such

of the   Mortgage   Loans as come into and   continue in default and as to which no

satisfactory   arrangements   can be made for   collection of   delinquent   payments

pursuant to Section   3.07.   Alternatively,   the Master   Servicer   may take other

actions in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan, which may include (i) accepting

a short sale (a payoff of the   Mortgage   Loan for an amount   less than the total

amount   contractually   owed in   order   to   facilitate   a sale   of the   Mortgaged

Property by the   Mortgagor) or permitting a short   refinancing   (a payoff of the

Mortgage   Loan for an amount less than the total   amount   contractually   owed in

order to facilitate   refinancing   transactions   by the Mortgagor not involving a

sale of the Mortgaged   Property),   (ii)   arranging for a repayment plan or (iii)

agreeing to a modification   in accordance   with Section 3.07. In connection with

such   foreclosure   or other   conversion or action,   the Master   Servicer   shall,

consistent   with Section 3.11,   follow such practices and procedures as it shall

deem   necessary   or   advisable,   as shall be   normal   and   usual in its   general

mortgage   servicing   activities   and as shall be   required or   permitted   by the

Program   Guide,   as applicable;   provided that the Master   Servicer shall not be

liable in any respect   hereunder if the Master   Servicer is acting in connection

with any such   foreclosure   or other   conversion   in a manner that is consistent

with the provisions of this Agreement.   The Master Servicer,   however, shall not

be   required   to expend   its own funds or incur   other   reimbursable   charges in

connection   with   any   foreclosure,    or   attempted   foreclosure   which   is   not

completed,   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   Mortgage   Loan to   Holders of   Certificates   of one or more

Classes and/or the Certificate   Insurer after   reimbursement   to itself for such

expenses or charges and (ii) that such   expenses or charges will be   recoverable

to   it   through   Liquidation   Proceeds,   Insurance   Proceeds,   or   REO   Proceeds

(respecting   which it shall have priority for purposes of   withdrawals   from the

Custodial   Account   pursuant to Section   3.10,   whether or not such expenses and

charges are actually   recoverable from related Liquidation   Proceeds,   Insurance

Proceeds or REO Proceeds).   In the event of such a   determination   by the Master

Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.14(a), the Master Servicer shall be entitled

to reimbursement of such amounts pursuant to Section 3.10.

 

        In addition to the   foregoing,   the Master   Servicer   shall use its best

reasonable   efforts to realize upon any   Additional   Collateral   for such of the

Additional Collateral Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which

no satisfactory   arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent   payments

pursuant to Section 3.07; provided that the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf

of the Trustee, obtain title to any such Additional Collateral as a result of or

in lieu of the disposition   thereof or otherwise;   and provided further that (i)

the Master Servicer shall not proceed with respect to such Additional Collateral

in any manner   that would   impair the   ability to recover   against   the   related

Mortgaged   Property,   and (ii) the Master   Servicer   shall   proceed with any REO

Acquisition in a manner that preserves the ability to apply the proceeds of such

Additional   Collateral   against amounts owed under the defaulted   Mortgage Loan.

Any proceeds realized from such Additional   Collateral (other than amounts to be

 

 

                                       28

<PAGE>

 

released to the Mortgagor or the related guarantor in accordance with procedures

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

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

Mortgage   Note   and to the   terms   and   conditions   of any   security   agreement,

guarantee   agreement,   mortgage or other agreement   governing the disposition of

the proceeds of such Additional   Collateral) shall be deposited in the Custodial

Account,   subject to   withdrawal   pursuant to Section   3.10.   Any other   payment

received by the Master Servicer in respect of such Additional   Collateral   shall

be deposited in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal   pursuant to Section

3.10.

 

        For so long as the   Master   Servicer   is the Master   Servicer   under the

Credit   Support   Pledge   Agreement,    the   Master   Servicer   shall   perform   its

obligations   under the Credit Support Pledge   Agreement in accordance   with such

Agreement    and   in   a    manner    that   is   in   the    best    interests    of   the

Certificateholders   and the Certificate   Insurer.   Further,   the Master Servicer

shall use its best   reasonable   efforts to realize   upon any Pledged   Assets for

such of the Pledged   Asset Loans as come into and   continue in default and as to

which no   satisfactory   arrangements   can be made for   collection   of delinquent

payments pursuant to Section 3.07;   provided that the Master Servicer shall not,

on behalf of the Trustee, obtain title to any such Pledged Assets as a result of

or in lieu of the disposition   thereof or otherwise;   and provided   further that

(i) the Master Servicer shall not proceed with respect to such Pledged Assets in

any   manner   that would   impair the   ability   to   recover   against   the   related

Mortgaged   Property,   and (ii) the Master   Servicer   shall   proceed with any REO

Acquisition in a manner that preserves the ability to apply the proceeds of such

Pledged   Assets   against   amounts owed under the defaulted   Mortgage   Loan.   Any

proceeds realized from such Pledged Assets (other than amounts to be released to

the Mortgagor or the related   guarantor in accordance   with   procedures that the

Master   Servicer   would   follow in   servicing   loans   held for its own   account,

subject to the terms and   conditions   of the related   Mortgage and Mortgage Note

and to the terms and conditions of any security agreement,   guarantee agreement,

mortgage or other   agreement   governing the   disposition of the proceeds of such

Pledged   Assets)   shall   be   deposited   in the   Custodial   Account,   subject   to

withdrawal   pursuant to Section 3.10.   Any other payment   received by the Master

Servicer in respect of such Pledged   Assets shall be deposited in the   Custodial

Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10.

 

        Concurrently   with the   foregoing,   the Master   Servicer   may pursue any

remedies that may be available in connection   with a breach of a   representation

and warranty with respect to any such Mortgage Loan in accordance   with Sections

2.03 and 2.04.   However,   the Master   Servicer   is not   required   to continue to

pursue both foreclosure (or similar remedies) with respect to the Mortgage Loans

and remedies in connection with a breach of a representation and warranty if the

Master Servicer determines in its reasonable   discretion that one such remedy is

more likely to result in a greater   recovery as to the Mortgage   Loan.   Upon the

occurrence of a Cash   Liquidation or REO   Disposition,   following the deposit in

the Custodial Account of all Insurance Proceeds,   Liquidation Proceeds and other

payments and recoveries   referred to in the definition of "Cash   Liquidation" or

"REO   Disposition,"   as   applicable,   upon   receipt   by the   Trustee   of written

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

Custodian,   as the case may be, shall release to the Master Servicer the related

Mortgage   File and the Trustee   shall   execute and deliver such   instruments   of

transfer or   assignment   prepared by the Master   Servicer,   in each case without

recourse,   as shall be necessary to vest in the Master Servicer or its designee,

as the case may be, the related Mortgage Loan, and thereafter such Mortgage Loan

 

 

                                       29

<PAGE>

 

shall not be part of the Trust Fund.   Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other

provision of this   Agreement,   in the Master   Servicer's   sole   discretion   with

respect   to any   defaulted   Mortgage   Loan or REO   Property   as to either of the

following provisions, (i) a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition may be deemed to

have occurred if substantially all amounts expected by the Master Servicer to be

received in connection with the related defaulted   Mortgage Loan or REO Property

have been   received,   and (ii) for   purposes   of   determining   the amount of any

Liquidation Proceeds,   Insurance Proceeds, REO Proceeds or any other unscheduled

collections   or the amount of any Realized   Loss,   the Master   Servicer may take

into account minimal amounts of additional   receipts   expected to be received or

any   estimated   additional   liquidation   expenses   expected   to be   incurred   in

connection with the related defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property.

 

(b) (See Section 3.14(b) - (c) of the Standard Terms)

 

        (d) The proceeds of any Cash Liquidation, REO Disposition or purchase or

repurchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as well

as any recovery (other than Subsequent   Recoveries)   resulting from a collection

of Liquidation Proceeds,   Insurance Proceeds or REO Proceeds, will be applied in

the following order of priority:   first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or the

related   Subservicer in accordance with Section   3.10(a)(ii) and, in the case of

Wells Fargo as a Subservicer, to reimburse such Subservicer for any Subservicing

Fees payable therefrom;   second, to the Certificateholders   (including,   without

duplication,   any interest amounts due to the Certificate Insurer as subrogee of

the Insured   Certificateholders) to the extent of accrued and unpaid interest on

the Mortgage   Loan,   and any related REO Imputed   Interest,   at the Net Mortgage

Rate (or the   Modified   Net   Mortgage   Rate in the case of a   Modified   Mortgage

Loan), to the Due Date in the related Due Period prior to the Distribution   Date

on which such amounts are to be distributed;   third,   to the   Certificateholders

(including,   without   duplication,   any principal amounts due to the Certificate

Insurer   as   subrogee   of   the   Insured   Certificateholders)   as a   recovery   of

principal   on the Mortgage   Loan (or REO   Property)   (provided   that if any such

Class of   Certificates   to which such   Realized   Loss was allocated is no longer

outstanding,   such   subsequent   recovery shall be distributed to the persons who

were the Holders of such Class of Certificates when it was retired);   fourth, to

all   Servicing   Fees and   Subservicing   Fees payable   therefrom   (and the Master

Servicer   and the   Subservicer   shall have no claims for any   deficiencies   with

respect to such fees which result from the foregoing allocation);   and fifth, to

Foreclosure Profits.
