Opinion(s) of Counsel (in which such counsel is entitled to rely upon certificates, opinions or representations as to matters of fact by Authorized Officers of the Depositor or the Trustee and governmental officials and, as to matters involving the laws of any state other than the state in which such counsel is admitted to practice, upon an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee) addressed to the Trustee to the effect that: (i) the Depositor has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with corporate power to own its properties, to conduct its business as now conducted by it and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement; (ii) assuming due execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee, this Agreement, as executed and delivered by the Depositor, is the valid, legal and binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and to general principles of equity; (iii) the Certificates, assuming that they have been duly and validly authorized, executed, delivered and issued by the Trustee, will, when authenticated by the Certificate Registrar pursuant to this Agreement and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor by valid, legal and binding instruments, entitled to the benefits of this Agreement; (iv) immediately prior to the conveyance thereof to the Trustee, the Depositor had the corporate power and authority to convey the Mortgage Assets and other property included in the Trust Fund to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement; (v) such action has been taken with respect to delivery of possession of the Mortgage Assets and other property included in the Trust Fund on the Closing Date and with respect to the execution and delivery of all requisite documents as is necessary to make effective the conveyance of such property to the Trustee, with either the details of such action being necessary to make such conveyance effective stated therein; (vi) the Depositor has effectively conveyed to the Trustee all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Assets and other property included in the Trust Fund on the Delivery Date; (vii) this Agreement is not required to be qualified under the TIA; the Trust Fund created by this Agreement is not required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; the Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to the best of such counsel's knowledge, no stop order suspending such effectiveness has been issued; [and the offer and sale of the Residual Certificates is a transaction not required to be registered under the Securities Act]; (viii) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any state or Federal court or governmental agency or body is required for the consummation by the Depositor of the transactions contemplated herein, except such as may be required under the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the acquisition of Certificates and such other approvals as have been obtained; (ix) the issue and sale of the Certificates and the fulfillment of the terms of this Agreement do not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any term or provision of, or constitute a default under, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor, or, to the knowledge of such counsel, any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound, or any statute or regulation applicable to the Depositor or, to the knowledge of such counsel, any order of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Depositor; and (x) assuming compliance with the pertinent provisions of this Agreement, the Trust Fund will qualify to be treated as a REMIC under the Code; the Multi-Class Certificates will be treated as "regular interests" in such REMIC; and the Residual Certificates will be treated, in the aggregate, as the single Class of "residual interests" in such REMIC. (b) Accountant's Letter. A letter, addressed to the Trustee, of a firm of Independent Accountants of recognized national reputation to the effect that: (i) they have performed the following procedures (which need not constitute an examination in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards): (A) they have read Schedule I to this Agreement, and in the case of Mortgage Certificates listed thereon, have examined each such Mortgage Certificate, and have compared the pool number, original principal amount, Maturity Date and coupon rate set forth in each such Mortgage Certificate, to the corresponding item in such Schedule I; (B) they have computed the principal balance of each Mortgage Certificate as of the date as of which such balance is set forth in such Schedule I, using a pool balance and factor reference source (specified in such letter), or, in the event that no such pool balance and factor reference source is available, on the basis of information supplied by the Servicer of such Mortgage Certificate; (C) they have compared the principal balance computed by them for each such Mortgage Certificate as described in paragraph (B) above to the principal balance thereof shown on such Schedule I; (D) they have read Schedule I to this Agreement, and, in the case of the Mortgage Loans listed thereon, have verified the accuracy of the information contained in Schedule I with respect to such Mortgage Loans by comparing such information to data contained in selected mortgage files and by reference to such other sources as shall be specified in such letter; (E) they have compared the outstanding principal balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the date as of which such balances are set forth in such Schedule I, information supplied by the Servicer of such Mortgage Loan; (F) they have examined each other asset, if any, included in the Trust Fund and have compared (to the extent applicable) the principal amount, interest rate and maturity date thereof and other information with respect thereto to the information with respect to such asset set forth in Article I; (G) using the formula and methodology specified in the applicable definition of "Asset Value" in Article I of this Agreement, and the assumptions set forth in Section 2.02 hereof, they have calculated the aggregate of the Asset Values for all of the Mortgage Assets and have compared the total of the Asset Values for the Trust Fund calculated by the Depositor to the aggregate of the Asset Values calculated by them to the Aggregate Initial Stated Principal Balance of the Certificates proposed to be authenticated and delivered; (H) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof, they have computed the amount of cash that will be deposited in the Certificate Account during each Due Period (or on or prior to the Distribution Date immediately following the end of each such Due Period) as a result of: (1) the distributions due and payable on such Mortgage Assets during each such Due Period; (2) the amount, if any, to be deposited in the Certificate Account on the Delivery Date pursuant to Section 1.03(9) hereof; (3) the amounts, if any, of the GPM Shortfalls or GPM Prepayment Shortfalls available to be withdrawn from the GPM Fund and deposited in the Certificate Account on or prior to the Distribution Date immediately following the end of each such Due Period pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof; (4) the amounts, if any, of the Buy-Down Shortfalls available to be withdrawn from the Buy-Down Fund and deposited in the Certificate Account on or prior to the Distribution Date immediately following the end of each such Due Period pursuant to Section 7.08 hereof; and (5) all other amounts available for such purpose and required hereby or by Article I to be deposited in the Certificate Account on or prior to the Payment Date immediately following the end of each such Due Period; (A) in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, they have computed the income that can be earned and deposited in the Certificate Account in each Due Period through the reinvestment of each of the amounts described in paragraph (viii) above; (B) if applicable, they have computed the scheduled reductions in Asset Value, if any, for each month for each Due Period and the amount required to be deposited by the Depositor on the Closing Date in the GPM Fund and Buy-Down Fund pursuant to Sections 1.03(j) and 1.03(i) hereof, respectively; (C) they have computed the Requisite Amount of the Reserve (to the extent each such amount is applicable to such Certificates) and the amounts, if any, required to be deposited by the Depositor on the Closing Date in the Reserve Fund in respect of such amount pursuant to Section 1.03(k); and (D) on the assumption that the aggregate of the amounts computed by them pursuant to paragraphs (3) through (5) above is the aggregate of the amounts that will actually be deposited in the Certificate Account in each Due Period and that such amounts are applied, in accordance with the terms hereof, to distributions of interest on and in reduction of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Multi-Class Certificates proposed to be authenticated and delivered, they have computed the amounts to be distributed with respect to interest on and in reduction of Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Multi-Class Certificates on each Distribution Date for such Certificates, using the Assumed Maximum Interest Rate (in the case of Certificates subject to Special Distributions, such calculations may be based upon the assumption that Special Distributions are made on any one or more Special Distribution Dates); and (ii) based upon the above-specified procedures, such firm has determined that: (A) the information set forth on Schedule I, which was read by them as described in paragraphs (i)(A) and (i)(D) above, accurately reflects the terms of each Mortgage Asset (subject, in the case of Mortgage Certificates, to the accuracy of the pool factors set forth in the reference source used by them, and, in the case of Mortgage Loans, the degree of certainty specified in such letter) and the information with respect to any other assets included in the Trust Fund set forth in Article I which was read by them as described in paragraph (i)(F) above, accurately reflects the terms of such assets; (B) the aggregate of the Asset Values for the Trust Fund calculated by the Depositor does not exceed the aggregate of the Asset Values for the Trust Fund calculated by them in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the aggregate of the Asset Values calculated by them for the Trust Fund is not less than the Aggregate Initial Stated Principal Balance of the Certificates proposed to be authenticated and delivered; (C) the Depositor's calculations of the aggregate of the amounts described in clauses (i)(H) and (i)(I) above and of each amount described in clauses (i)(J) through (i)(L) above agree with the results of their calculations of such amounts and are mathematically correct; (D) for each Due Period, the aggregate of the amounts described in clauses (i)(H), (i)(I), (i)(J) and (i)(K) above as calculated by the Depositor and as computed by them equals or exceeds the aggregate amount distributable with respect to interest on and in reduction of Aggregate Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Multi-Class Certificates on the following Distribution Date (and, if applicable, on each Special Distribution Date within such Due Period), as set forth in the Depositor's calculations of the amounts described in clause (i)(L) above and in their calculations of such amounts; and (E) the Depositor's calculations of the amounts described in clause (i)(L) above indicate that the aggregate of such anticipated distributions in reduction of Aggregate Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of each Class of such Multi-Class Certificates distributable on each Distribution Date (and, if applicable, on any Special Distribution Date) is an amount sufficient to reduce the Aggregate Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of each such Class to zero on or before the Final Scheduled Distribution Date. (b) The Mortgage Certificates. The Mortgage Certificates included in the Trust Fund, which Mortgage Certificates have been registered in the name of the Trustee prior to the Closing Date (or if requested by the Trustee, in the name of its nominee).

An Opinion of Counsel for each Insurer dated the Delivery Date, to the effect that: (i) the Insurer is duly organized, validly existing under the laws of the state of its incorporation, is duly qualified to do business in all jurisdictions where the nature of its operations as contemplated by the Insurance Policy issued by such Insurer legally requires such qualification, and has the power and authority (corporate and other) to issue, and to take all action required of it under, such Insurance Policy; (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Insurer of the Insurance Policy issued by such Insurer has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Insurer, and under present law does not and will not contravene any law or governmental regulation or order presently binding on the Insurer or the charter or the by-laws of the Insurer or contravene any provision of or constitute a default under any indenture, contract or other instrument to which the Insurer is a party or by which the Insurer is bound; (iii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Insurer of the Insurance Policy does not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any federal, State or other governmental agency or authority which has not previously been effected; and (iv) the Insurance Policy issued by such Insurer has been duly issued and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Insurer, enforceable against the Insurer in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights general by or by general principles of equity.

Any distributions of interest and in reduction of Outstanding Stated Principal Balance shall be made on the Multi-Class Certificates as provided in Section 1.07. [The Interest Rate on the Variable Rate Certificates shall be determined as provided in Section 1.06.] (b) Residual Certificates authenticated and delivered under this Agreement shall evidence Percentage Interests aggregating 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Residual, except for Residual Certificates authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Residual Certificates pursuant to this Agreement. Any distributions on the Residual Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date in an aggregate amount equal to the Residual Distribution Amount. Provided that no Deficiency Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder of a Residual Certificate shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the Percentage Interest evidenced by such Residual Certificate in the Residual Distribution Amount. [No transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or unless such transfer is made in accordance with the Securities Act and such laws. In the event that such a transfer is to be made within three years from the Delivery Date: (i) the Trustee or the Depositor may require an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the Securities Act and state laws or is being made pursuant to the Securities Act and state laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor, and (ii) the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute an investment letter, certifying to the Depositor and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor. The Holder of a Residual Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and by the acceptance of such Certificate does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws. The Residual Certificates shall have no principal amount and no stated interest rate.] SECTION 1.06 LIBOR Calculation. (a) Commencing __________, 200_, interest distributions will be made on the Variable Rate Certificates at the rate determined by [the "Trustee"] on the basis of the London interbank offered rate quotations for [three-month] Eurodollar deposits ("LIBOR") provided by _______, ________, and ___________, (the initial "Reference Banks"). The [Trustee] will determine LIBOR for each Variable Rate Interest Accrual Period on the Interest Rate Determination Date for such Variable Rate Interest Accrual Period. (b) The determination of the Interest Rate borne by the Variable Rate Certificates shall be made in accordance with the following provisions: (i) On each Interest Rate Determination Date, [the Trustee] shall determine LIBOR on the basis of quotations provided by the Reference Banks as of 11:00 a.m. (London Time) as such quotations appear on the Reuters screen LIBOR Page (as defined in the International SWAP Dealers Association, Inc. Code of Standard Wording, Assumptions and Provisions for SWAPs, 1986 edition). LIBOR as determined by [the Trustee] shall be the arithmetic mean of such quotations, such arithmetic mean rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest multiple of ____ of 1.00%. (ii) If, on any Interest Rate Determination Date, at least two but fewer than all of the Reference Banks provide quotations, LIBOR will be determined in accordance with (i) above on the basis of the offered quotations of those Reference Banks providing such quotations. (iii) If, on any Interest Rate Determination Date, only one or none of the Reference Banks provides [the Trustee] with such offered quotations, LIBOR shall be the higher of: (A) LIBOR as determined on the previous Interest Rate Determination Date; and (B) the Reserve Interest Rate. The "Reserve Interest Rate" will be 1/4 of 1.00% above the rate per annum (rounded upward as aforesaid) that [the Trustee] determines to be either: (x) the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that leading banks in New York City selected by [the Trustee (after consultation with the Depositor, if practicable)] are quoting on the relevant Interest Rate Determination Date for [three-] month Eurodollar deposits to the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks or those of them (being at least two in number) to which such offered quotations are, in the opinion of [the Trustee], being so made or (y) in the event that [the Trustee] can determine no such arithmetic mean, the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that leading banks in New York City selected by [the Trustee (after consultation with the Depositor, if practicable)] are quoting on such Interest Rate Determination Date to leading European banks for [three-month] Eurodollar deposits; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by [the Trustee] are not quoting as mentioned above, LIBOR for such Variable Rate Interest Accrual Period shall be as specified in (A) above.

SECTION 2.02 Calculations Respecting Mortgage Assets and Trust Fund.

(b) If Article I provides that calculations with respect to distributions on all or any part of the Mortgage Assets included in the Trust Fund shall be made on a mortgage loan by mortgage loan basis, then such calculations shall be based upon current information as to the terms of such mortgage loans and reports of payments received on such mortgage loans supplied to the Trustee or the Depositor, as the case may be, by the Servicer or the Master Servicer and satisfying such requirements, if any, as may be set forth in Article I. (c) For any Mortgage Certificate with respect to which calculations required to be made pursuant to this Agreement are not required to be made on a mortgage loan by mortgage loan basis, such calculations shall be made on the basis of information or accounting as to distributions on such Mortgage Certificate furnished by the Servicer thereof. (d) Unless otherwise specified in Article I, all calculations with respect to distributions on the Mortgage Loans shall be based upon current information as to the terms of the Mortgage Loans and the reports of payments received on such Mortgage Loans and payments to be remitted to the Trustee, as supplied to the Trustee by the Master Servicer.

(e) Unless Article I provides otherwise, all calculations with respect to future distributions on the Mortgage Asset or future payments on the mortgage loans underlying a Mortgage Asset included in a Mortgage Asset Group shall be made on the assumption that all of the mortgage loans underlying or included in a Mortgage Asset included in a Mortgage Asset Group constitute a single, fully-amortizing, fixed rate mortgage loan: (i) bearing interest at a fixed rate equal to the highest rate that might be borne by any of the mortgage loans underlying or included in any of the Mortgage Assets included in such Mortgage Asset Group (such highest rate being the sum of: (A) the certificate rate for the Mortgage Certificates in such Mortgage Asset Group or the Pass-Through Rate for Mortgage Loans in such Mortgage Asset Group and (B) either: (1) the highest servicing fee (including any master servicing fee and retained yield) and guaranty fee, if any, applicable to any of such mortgage loans or (2) in the case of a Mortgage Certificate, if the exact servicing fee and guaranty fee, if any, applicable to such underlying mortgage loans is not known, the highest possible servicing fee that might be applicable thereto as provided in applicable guidelines for the program pursuant to which such Mortgage Certificate was issued), and subject to a servicing fee and guaranty fee, if any, equal to the amount described above in clause (B)(1) or (B)(2), whichever is applicable; (ii) having an outstanding principal balance equal to the Outstanding Mortgage Asset Amount of the Mortgage Assets included in such Mortgage Asset Group; (iii) maturing in the month of the Maturity Date of the latest maturing Mortgage Asset in such Mortgage Asset Group; (iv) which either provides for fixed level monthly payments or, in the case of a Mortgage Asset Group comprised of GPM Assets, provides for scheduled payment increases equal to the largest percentage increase possible for any of the mortgage loans included in, or underlying the GPM Assets included in such Mortgage Asset Group, which payment increases would become effective for an underlying mortgage loan maturing in the month of the Maturity Date of the latest maturing GPM Asset of such Mortgage Asset Group. (f) All calculations with respect to future distributions on a Mortgage Asset shall be made on the assumption that none of the mortgage loans included in, or underlying such Mortgage Asset is prepaid and that all such mortgage loans paid in accordance with their actual payment schedule, or the assumed payment schedule calculated pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section 2.02, whichever is applicable, except as may be provided in Article I. (g) If any Mortgage Certificate (or mortgage loan underlying such Mortgage Certificate) bears interest at a rate in excess of the Highest Interest Rate, then, except as otherwise provided in Article I, for purposes of any future distribution on such Mortgage Certificate, it shall be assumed that in addition to the servicing fee and guaranty fee, if any, actually payable with respect to the mortgage loans underlying such Mortgage Certificate, or assumed to be payable with respect thereto as provided in subsection (e) of this Section 2.02, such mortgage loans are subject to an additional servicing fee equal, on an annual basis, to the difference between: (i) the interest rate borne by such Mortgage Certificate and (ii) the Highest Interest Rate. (h) If the Pass-Through Rate on any Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund is in excess of the Highest Interest Rate, then, except as otherwise provided in Article I, for purposes of calculating the amount of Excess Cash Flow resulting from any future distribution on such Mortgage Loan, it shall be assumed that in addition to the servicing fee (including any master servicing fee and retained yield) and guaranty fee, if any, such Mortgage Loan is subject to an additional servicing fee equal, on an annual basis, to the difference between: (i) the Pass-Through Rate for such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the Highest Interest Rate. (i) Each distribution receivable with respect to a Mortgage Asset included in the Trust Fund shall be assumed to be received, in the case of a Mortgage Certificate, unless actually received earlier, on the Business Day next succeeding the date on which such distribution is payable to the holder of the Mortgage Certificate in accordance with its terms, or in the case of a Mortgage Loan, unless actually received earlier, on the [ ]th day of the month succeeding the date on which such distribution is payable to the holder of such Mortgage Loan in accordance with its terms and each such distribution shall be assumed to be immediately deposited in the Certificate Account and reinvested on the next day at the Assumed Reinvestment Rate specified in Article I. All principal of and interest on investments held in the Account shall be assumed to be received on the date due and immediately deposited therein and reinvested on the next day at the applicable Assumed Reinvestment Rate. All funds assumed to be reinvested at the applicable Assumed Reinvestment Rate shall be assumed to remain so invested until the day next preceding the day on which they are required to be available in the related Certificate Account for application, in accordance with the terms hereof and Article I, to distributions on the Certificates. All funds eligible to be invested pursuant to a Reinvestment Agreement shall (subject, however, to any limitations contained in such Reinvestment Agreement) be assumed to be invested thereunder until such funds are, or might be, required to be available for, application pursuant to this Agreement. SECTION 2.03 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor with Respect to the Mortgage Certificates. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to any Mortgage Certificates included in the Trust Fund that: (a) the Depositor is the owner of each Mortgage Certificate free and clear of any liens or the adverse interests of any person; (b) the Depositor has acquired its ownership in such Mortgage Certificates in good faith without notice of any adverse claim; (c) the Depositor has not assigned any interest in such Mortgage Certificate or any distributions thereon, except as contemplated herein (or if any such interest has been assigned, it has been released); (d) the information set forth with respect to each Mortgage Certificate in Schedule I hereto is complete and correct; The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.03 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Certificates to the Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representation and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other. Within 30 days or, with the prior written consent of the Trustee, such longer period specified in such consent, of its discovery or its receipt of the representations and warranties set forth above, shall cure such breach in all material respects or shall deliver a Substitute Mortgage Certificate for the Original Mortgage Certificate in the manner, and under the circumstances, specified in Section 2.05 to cure such breach. In the event that the Depositor is unable to cure such breach, it shall repurchase each affected Mortgage Certificate from the Trustee. Any such repurchase by the Depositor shall be accomplished at a price payable to the Trustee equal to the lesser of: (i) the sum of: (a) the Outstanding Mortgage Certificate Amount of the Mortgage Certificate to be repurchased on the date of such repurchase, (b) all interest accrued but unpaid to the Trustee on such principal balance, at the rate of interest borne by such Mortgage Certificate, through the last day of the month of such repurchase and (ii) the Trust Fund's adjusted tax basis in such Mortgage Certificate, determined in accordance with the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The payment of the purchase price for any repurchased Mortgage Certificates shall be considered a prepayment in full of the related Mortgage Certificate and shall be deposited by the Depositor in the Certificate Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.04 hereof and, upon such deposit into the Certificate Account, the related Mortgage Certificate shall be released to the Depositor, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be reasonably requested by the Depositor to vest in the Depositor, or its designee or assignee, title to any Mortgage Certificate repurchased pursuant hereto. The obligation of the Depositor to repurchase any Mortgage Certificate as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The Trustee may take legal action to enforce the Depositor's obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Certificates. The reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with any such legal action shall be reimbursable to the Trustee out of the proceeds of any such action and shall be retained by the Trustee prior to the deposit of any remaining proceeds in the Certificate Account pending distribution thereof to Certificateholders in accordance with Section 3.01 hereof. Any distributions received by the Trustee with respect to such repurchased Mortgage Certificate subsequent to the date of such repurchase shall be promptly remitted by the Trustee to the Depositor. SECTION 2.04 Administration of the Mortgage Certificates. The Trustee shall deposit in the Certificate Account, as soon as practicable after receipt, each distribution of interest and principal and all other payments or amounts made to the Trustee with respect to the Mortgage Certificates. If the Trustee shall not have received a distribution with respect to a Mortgage Certificate by the second Business Day after the date on which such distribution was due and payable pursuant to the terms of such Mortgage Certificate, the Trustee shall request the issuer or guarantor, if any, of such Mortgage Certificate to make such payment as promptly as possible and legally permitted and shall, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, take such legal action against such issuer or guarantor as the Trustee shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, including the prosecution of any claims in connection therewith. The reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the prosecution of any such legal action shall be reimbursable to the Trustee out of the proceeds of any such action and shall be retained by the Trustee prior to the deposit of any remaining proceeds in the Certificate Account pending distribution thereof to Certificateholders in accordance with Section 3.01 hereof. In the event that the Trustee has reason to believe that the proceeds of any such legal action may be insufficient to reimburse it for its projected legal fees and expenses, the Trustee shall notify the Master Servicer that it is not obligated to pursue any such available remedies unless adequate indemnity for its legal fees and expenses is provided to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall take such action as shall be appropriate under the circumstances. SECTION 2.05 Substitution of Mortgage Assets. (a) The Trustee may, and when required by the provisions of the Escrow Account shall, execute instruments to release property held by it under this Agreement, or convey the Trustee's interest in the same, in a manner and under circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. No party relying upon an instrument executed by the Trustee as provided in this Article II shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any monies. (b) The Depositor may, within two years following the Delivery Date, request by Depositor Request to substitute any Substitute Mortgage Asset Group for any Original Mortgage Asset Group. Such Depositor Request shall state the Substitution Date for such substitution. Any substitution under this Section 2.05 involving an Original Mortgage Asset Group that contains cash shall occur prior to the first Distribution Date. (c) Any number of substitutions may occur on any subsequent Delivery Date. All substitutions occurring under this Section 2.04 shall in the aggregate meet the following conditions: (i) Substitute Mortgage Asset Groups may only be substituted for Original Mortgage Asset Groups of like kind (e.g., Mortgage Loans shall only be substituted for Mortgage Loans; any type of Mortgage Assets may be substituted for an Original Mortgage Asset Group containing cash; (ii) No more than 40% in the Aggregate Outstanding Trustee Asset Amount (not including any cash held in the Certificate Account) making up the Trust Fund on the Closing Date may be substituted for; (iii) There may be no substitutions for any Mortgage Assets that made up part of a Substitute Mortgage Asset Group; (iv) Any substitute Mortgage Asset Group must have an aggregate Asset Value at least equal to that of the Original Mortgage Asset Group for which it will be substituted; the Asset Value of cash shall be determined by the Rating Agency and shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the Depositor executed on the Closing Date; (v) No substitution will be permitted that would delay the Final Scheduled Distribution Date of any Class of Multi-Class Certificates; (vi) After the expiration of a period of 90 days from the Delivery Date, Mortgage Assets may only be substituted for in the event of a default or late payment on or defect in the Mortgage Certificates or Mortgage Loans being substituted for; and (vii) No Rating Agency shall, as a consequence of such substitution, downgrade its rating of the Multi-Class Certificates. (d) In connection with any such substitution, on the Substitution Date the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee the following: (i) The Mortgage Certificates included in the Substitute Mortgage Asset Group; (ii) The Mortgage Files with respect to each of the Mortgage Loans included in the Substitute Mortgage Asset Group; (iii) Cash, if any, to be deposited in the related Certificate Account, in an amount equal to the sum of: (A) the payment of principal and interest paid or to be paid on any Trustee Asset in such Substitute Trustee Asset Group during the month of such Substitution Date, (B) if so required by the Rating Agency, an amount equal to the amount set forth pursuant to clause (A) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the applicable Assumed Reinvestment Rate multiplied by the number of days, if any, from the immediately preceding Due Date to the Substitution Date and the denominator of which is 360 and (C) the amounts, if any, required to be deposited in the GPM Fund, the Buy-Down Fund and the Reserve Fund as a result of such substitution; (iv) An Officer's Certificate, dated as of the Substitution Date: (A) certifying with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the Substitute Mortgage Asset Group that the representation and warranties of the Depositor with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the Original Mortgage Asset Group contained in Section 2.01 hereof are true and correct, as of the Substitution Date, with respect to such Mortgage Loans; (B) certifying with respect to the Mortgage Certificates in the Substitute Mortgage Asset Group that the representation and warranties of the Depositor with respect to the Mortgage Certificates in the Original Mortgage Asset Group contained in Section 2.03 hereof are true and correct, as of the Substitution Date, with respect to such Mortgage Certificates; (C) certifying that such substitution on such Substitution Date will be in compliance with the provisions hereof; (D) setting forth calculations demonstrating that such substitution on such Substitution Date will be in compliance with Sections 2.05(c)(i), (ii), (iv) and (v) hereof; (v) An Opinion of Counsel stating that: (A) such substitution will not result in the disqualification of the Trust Fund as a REMIC, (B) such substitution is in compliance with the provisions hereof, (C) the Trust Fund will not as a result of such substitution become an "investment company," as such term is used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; and (D) the Substitute Mortgage Assets constitute "qualified replacement mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(4) of the Code; and (vi) A certificate of a firm of Independent Accounts verifying the calculation of the Asset Value of the Substitute Mortgage Asset Group and the Original Mortgage Asset Group to be released and the amount of principal prepayments, if any, with respect to the Mortgage Assets in such Substitute Mortgage Asset Group since the immediately preceding Due Date and verifying the amount, if any, required to be deposited into or released from the Certificate Account, GPM Fund, Buy-Down Fund and Reserve Fund as a result of such substitution and stating that such substitution will not result in an extension of the Final Scheduled Distribution Date of any Class of Multi-Class Certificates. (e) Upon such substitution, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor the Original Mortgage Asset Group, all distributions on such Original Mortgage Asset Group received by the Trustee on the Due Date prior to such Substitution Date, all amounts in the Certificate Account with respect to such Original Mortgage Asset Group on the Substitution Date and any investment earning on such amounts. ARTICLE III DISTRIBUTIONS SECTION 3.01 Distributions. (a) On any Distribution Date, the total amount of distributions that shall be made to the Certificateholders shall equal the sum of the total amount of funds available in the Certificate Account and available to be released from any Reserve Fund, GPM Fund, or Buy-Down Fund, as specified in the related Distribution Date Accounting (the "Amount Available"). The Trustee shall make the distributions to the Holders of each Class of the Multi-Class Certificates and the Residual Certificates on the basis hereof and as specified in Article I. (b) Unless otherwise specified in Article I, all distributions made with respect to any Multi-Class Certificate shall be applied first to the interest then accrued and distributable on such Multi-Class Certificate and then to effect reductions in the Outstanding Stated Principal Balance thereof. Unless otherwise specified in Article I, distribution of interest shall be made in the order of the Final Scheduled Distribution Dates of each Class of Multi-Class Certificates, until the Interest Distribution Amount for each such Class has been distributed. No distribution of any Interest Distribution Accounts shall be made on any Compound Interest Certificate until after its Accretion Termination Date. (c) Interest at the applicable Interest Rate shall accrue on the Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of each Outstanding Compound Interest Certificate from the Accrual Date, but none of such accrued interest shall be distributable until the Accretion Termination Date for such Compound Interest Certificate. Unless otherwise specified in Article I, on each Distribution Date prior to the Accretion Termination Date for any Class of Compound Interest Certificate, interest that has accrued (determined as described above) on such Certificate during the preceding Interest Accrual Period shall be added to the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of such Certificate and shall thereafter accrue interest from such Distribution Date. On the Accretion Termination Date for any Class of such Certificates, interest accrued on such Class of Compound Interest Certificates during the preceding Interest Accrual Period shall be distributable in an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) the Multi-Class Distribution Amount for such Accretion Termination Date less the aggregate amount to be distributed with respect to interest and in reduction of Outstanding Stated Principal Balance on all other Multi-Class Certificates required to be so distributed on such date, and (b) the amount of interest so accrued on such Class of Compound Interest Certificates. The portion, if any, of such interest that is not distributed on such Accretion Termination Date shall be added to the Compound Value of such Class of Compound Interest Certificates and shall hereafter accrue interest as set forth above. On any Distribution Date after the Accretion Termination Date distributions of interest shall be made on any Class of Compound Interest Certificates in the manner set forth in subsection (b) above. (d) Unless otherwise specified in Article I, on each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make distributions in reduction of Outstanding Stated Principal Balance to the Holders of the Outstanding Class of Multi-Class Certificates having the earliest Final Scheduled Distribution Date in an amount equal to the sum of the Stated Principal Distribution Amount with respect to such Distribution Date. With respect to any Class of Multi-Class Certificates, such distribution shall not exceed the then Aggregate Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of such Class. Any excess of the Stated Principal Distribution Amount over such Aggregate Outstanding Stated Principal Balance shall be distributed on such Distribution Date to the Class of Multi-Class Certificates having the next earliest Final Scheduled Distribution Date and so on until the full amount of such sum is so distributed. On each succeeding Distribution Date, after the Trustee has distributed all Interest Distribution Amounts with respect to the Class of Multi-Class Certificates then Outstanding and entitled to receive such a distribution, the Trustee shall distribute the Stated Principal Distribution Amount with respect to such Distribution Date in the same manner. The Trustee shall continue to make distributions in this manner until the Aggregate Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of all Multi-Class Certificates has been reduced to zero. [(e) If so specified in Article I, distributions of the Principal Distribution Amount shall be made on a Class of [PDC] Certificates beginning on the First [PDC] Paydown Date, in an Amount not in excess of the [PDC] Amount of such Class. Any excess of the sum of the Stated Principal Distribution Amount over the [PDC] Amount shall be distributed in the order of priority provided in subsection (d) above. Any excess of the [PDC] Amount over the Stated Principal Distribution Amount shall be added to the [PDC] Amount applicable to the next succeeding Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date and may be carried forward until all distributions with respect thereto have been made. If prior to such Distribution Date, distributions have been made such that the Aggregate Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of all other Classes of Multi-Class Certificates has been reduced to zero, distributions shall be made to such [PDC] Certificates as set forth in subsection (d) above.] (f) Unless otherwise specified in Article I, any amounts remaining in the Certificate Account after the distribution of the Multi-Class Distribution Amount shall be distributed to the Holders of the Residual Certificates on the basis of the Percentage Interest evidenced by such Residual Certificate in the Residual. (g) Unless otherwise specified in Article I, all distributions hereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis among all of the Certificates of any Class. [(h) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions with respect to distributions of interest on and in reduction of Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Certificates, if a Deficiency Event shall have occurred, then distributions in reduction of Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of and of interest on the Certificates subsequent to the Distribution Date upon which such Deficiency Event first occurred shall be made in accordance with Article VI.] (i) Distributions in reduction of Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Multi-Class Certificates shall begin no later than the Initial Reduction Date for such Class and shall end no later than the Final Scheduled Distribution Date therefor, unless the Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of such Certificate becomes distributable at an earlier date by reason of [the occurrence of a Deficiency Event or] the termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Article IV. (j) Except for the final distribution with respect to a Certificate, which shall be made as specified in Article I, any distribution of interest on or in reduction of Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of a Certificate shall be made to the Person in whose name such Certificate (or one or more Predecessor Certificates) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Distribution Date by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address appearing in the Certificate Register, or upon written request by the Certificateholder, by wire transfer (in the event that such Certificateholder meets the requirements specified in Article I) or by such other means of payment as such Certificateholder and the Trustee may agree. SECTION 3.02 Reports by Trustee to Certificateholders. (a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deliver a written report: (i) to each Holder of Multi-Class Certificates of a Class on which a distribution of interest and in reduction of Outstanding Stated Principal Balance is then being made, setting forth the amount of such distribution that represents interest and the amount applied to reduce such Outstanding Stated Principal Balance, and the Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of a Single Certificate of each such Class after giving effect to the distribution in reduction of Outstanding Stated Principal Balance made on such Distribution Date; (ii) to each Holder of Multi-Class Certificates of a Class on which a distribution of interest only is then being made, setting forth the Aggregate Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of each Class of Multi-Class Certificates after giving effect to the distribution in reduction of Outstanding Stated Principal Balance made on such Distribution Date and on any Special Distribution Date occurring subsequent to the last such report and after including in the Aggregate Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of any Class of Compound Interest Certificates the amount of any accrued interest added to the Compound Value thereof on such Distribution Date; (iii) to each Holder of a Compound Interest Certificate (but only if such Holder shall not have received on such Distribution Date a distribution of interest equal to the entire amount of interest accrued on such Certificate during the preceding Interest Accrual Period) setting forth: (A) the information contained in the report delivered pursuant to subsection (ii) above, (B) the interest accrued on a Single Certificate of such Class of Compound Interest Certificates during the preceding Interest Accrual Period and added to the Compound Value of such Compound Interest Certificate, and (C) the Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of a Single Certificate of such Class of Compound Interest Certificates after giving effect to the addition thereto of all interest accrued thereon during the preceding Interest Accrual Period; and (iv) to each Holder of a Residual Certificate, a report containing the information delivered to Holders of Multi-Class Certificates pursuant to subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) above and setting forth the aggregate amount of distributions received on the Mortgage Assets and the reinvestment income earned thereon during the preceding Due Period and the applications of all such amounts, the Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of each Class of Outstanding Multi-Class Certificates after giving effect to the distributions then being made to Holders of Multi-Class Certificates, the Outstanding Mortgage Asset Amount at the end of the immediately preceding Due Period, and the amount, if any (in the aggregate and per Single Certificate), then being distributed to Holders of Residual Certificates. (b) In addition to the information set forth above, the report delivered to each Certificateholder shall set forth: (i) the amount of servicing compensation received by the Servicers and the Master Servicer during the Due Period preceding the related Distribution Date and such other customary information as the Trustee deems necessary or desirable to enable Certificateholders to prepare their tax returns; (ii) the book value of any collateral acquired on behalf of the Certificateholders through foreclosure or grant of deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise of any Mortgage Loan (or any mortgage loan in which a Participation Certificate evidences an interest); (iii) the number and aggregate principal amount of Mortgage Loans (or mortgage loans in which a Participation Certificate evidences an interest) delinquent 30 days and 60 or more days; and (iv) the amount of coverage remaining under the Pool Insurance Policy and the Special Hazard Insurance Policy, after giving effect to any amount with respect thereto distributed to Certificateholders on the Distribution Date. (c) Whenever the Trustee believes that the entire remaining Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of any Class of Multi-Class Certificates will become distributable on the next Distribution Date (or, in the case of the final distribution upon a Residual Certificate upon termination of the Trust Fund), the Trustee shall, no later than the fifth day preceding such Distribution Date, mail or cause to be mailed to each Person in whose name a Certificate to be so retired is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date a notice to the effect that: (i) it is expected that funds sufficient to make a distribution that will reduce the Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of such Multi-Class Certificate to zero (or in the case of a Residual Certificate, the amount of such final distribution) will be available in the Certificate Account on such Distribution Date, and (ii) if such funds are available: (A) such final distribution will be payable on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.06 (the address of which shall be set forth in such notice) and that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date will not be applicable, and in the case of a Multi-Class Certificate, that (B) no interest shall accrue on such Certificate after the end of the Interest Accrual Period with respect to such Distribution Date. ARTICLE IV OPTIONAL TERMINATION SECTION 4.01 Repurchase at the Option of the Depositor. To the extent specified in Article XI, the Mortgage Assets included in the Trust Fund shall be repurchaseable at the option of the Depositor as permitted herein on any Optional Termination Date at the Repurchase Price specified herein. Unless otherwise specified in Article XI, the Repurchase Price for any such Optional Termination shall be equal to the greater of: (a) the Outstanding Mortgage Asset Amount as of the date of repurchase, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the Pass-Through Rate for the related Mortgage Pool, or at the rate of interest borne by a Mortgage Certificate or a Participation Certificate through the last day of the month of such repurchase, plus the appraised value of any property acquired in respect thereof or (b) the fair market value of the Mortgage Assets (as specified below). [For purposes of this Section 4.01, the fair market value of a Mortgage Asset shall be deemed to be: (a) the most recent bid price for such Mortgage Asset in the over-the-counter securities market if such Mortgage Asset is traded in such market, (b) if such Mortgage Asset is traded on a securities exchange, the average closing sale price for such Mortgage Asset on such securities exchange for the last five trading days of such exchange immediately preceding such repurchase, (c) if such Mortgage Asset is not so traded, a value determined on the basis of current prices of securities deemed by the Depositor to be most comparable to such Mortgage Asset or (d) in the case of Mortgage Loans and Participation Certificates, the product of: (i) the Outstanding Mortgage Loan Amount of such Mortgage Loan or the Outstanding Participation Certificate Amount of such Participation Certificate, based on the information provided by the Servicer, and (ii) the lower of the bid prices as quoted by two nationally-recognized dealers selected by the Depositor (one of which may be an Affiliate of the Depositor) which are at the time making a market in comparable mortgage notes or participation certificates.] The right of the Depositor to repurchase the Mortgage Assets shall be subject to the conditions specified in Article I and is conditioned upon the Depositor's having previously given notice of termination as required by Section 4.02(a). SECTION 4.02 Procedure Upon Optional Termination. (a) In case of any Optional Termination pursuant to Section 4.01, the Depositor shall, at least ten days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the Certificateholders (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Optional Termination Date, and of the Repurchase Price of the Mortgage Assets to be purchased. (b) Any repurchase by the Depositor of the Mortgage Assets shall be made on the Optional Termination Date by deposit of the Repurchase Price into the Certificate Account on or before the Distribution Date on which such repurchase is effected. Upon receipt from the Depositor of the Repurchase Price, the Trustee and each co-trustee and separate trustee, if any, then acting as such under this Agreement, shall, upon Depositor Request and at the expense of the Depositor, execute and deliver all such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be reasonably requested by the Depositor to vest title in the Mortgage Assets so repurchased to the Depositor and shall transfer or deliver to the Depositor or its designee the repurchased Mortgage Assets. Any distributions on the Mortgage Assets received by the Trustee with respect to such repurchased Mortgage Assets shall be promptly remitted by it to the Depositor. (c) Notice of any optional termination pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the final distribution shall be made, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by first class mail to Holders of the Certificates mailed no later than ______ days preceding the Optional Termination Date. Such notice shall constitute the adoption by the Trustee of a complete liquidation within the meaning of Section 860(F)(a)(4)(A)(i) of the Code on the date such notice is given. Such notice shall specify: (A) the Distribution Date (which, in any event, shall be no later than 90 days from the date the Trustee sent such notice to the Certificateholders) upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein designated, (B) the Termination Price or, in the case of the Residual Certificates, the Residual Distribution, (C) in the case of a Multi-Class Certificate, that interest shall cease to accrue after the end of the Interest Accrual Period with respect to such Optional Termination Date and (D) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Optional Termination Date is not applicable, such distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purposes (the address of which shall be set forth in such notice). The Trustee shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Holders of the Certificates. Upon deposit in the Certificate Account on the Optional Termination Date of an amount equal to the Repurchase Price pursuant to Section 4.03 and presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to each Holder of a Multi-Class Certificate an amount equal to the Termination Price for such Certificate. Funds remaining in the Certificate Account after allocation of funds to Holders of Multi-Class Certificates shall be distributed to the holders of the Residual Certificates. (d) Following receipt of notice of termination from the Depositor pursuant to Section 4.02(a), the Trustee shall, prior to the Optional Termination Date, sell any Eligible Investments then held in the Accounts that mature subsequent to such Distribution Date, deposit the proceeds of such sale into the related Account and reinvest such proceeds in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article VII. Any amounts remaining in the Accounts after making, or providing for, final distributions to the Holders of the Multi-Class Certificates shall be distributed to the Holders of the Residual Certificates on the Optional Termination Date. ARTICLE V SPECIAL DISTRIBUTIONS SECTION 5.01 Special Distributions. All or a portion of the Multi-Class Certificates (having other than monthly Distribution Dates) shall be subject to Special Distributions in reduction of Outstanding Stated Principal Balance pursuant to this Section 5.01 on the day of the month specified in Article I, in the event that the Trustee makes the determinations specified in Section 7.07(d). SECTION 5.02 Notice of Special Distribution by the Trustee. Notice of distributions pursuant to Section 5.01 shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than five days prior to the applicable Special Distribution Date to each Holder of all Classes of the Multi-Class Certificates affected at the address for such Holder specified in the Certificate Register. All notices of such distributions shall state: (i) Special Distribution Date; (ii) the Special Distribution Amount; (iii) that on the Special Distribution Date, if the affected Class of Multi-Class Certificates is not to receive a final distribution in reduction of its Outstanding Stated Principal Balance, the Special Distribution Amount will be distributed as shall be specified in such notice, that accruals of interest will cease with respect to principal amounts upon which distributions are to be made on the date specified on the notice of distribution and that, subject to clause (vi) below, distribution of the Special Distribution Amount will be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the registered Holder thereof on the Certificate Register on the Special Distribution Record Date applicable to such Special Distribution Date and identified in such notice of distribution; (iv) that on a Special Distribution Date, if distributions on the affected Multi-Class Certificates will cause such Certificates to have received total distributions equal to the Initial Stated Principal Balance of such Certificates and in the case of any Compound Interest Certificates, the Compound Value of such Certificate will have been paid in full, the fact of such distribution in full and that all interest distributions in respect thereof shall cease on the date specified on the notice of redemption; (v) if such payment is the final distribution on the affected Class of Multi-Class Certificates that the Special Distribution Record Date otherwise applicable to the Certificates is not otherwise applicable; and (vi) the place where such Certificates are to be surrendered for distribution of the applicable portion of the Special Distribution Amount if such Certificates are to receive their final distribution in reduction of Outstanding Stated Principal Balance, which shall be the office or agency of the Trustee to be maintained as provided in Section 3.06. Notice of distribution of Multi-Class Certificates shall be given by the Trustee at its expense. Failure to give notice of distribution, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Multi-Class Certificate selected for Special Distribution shall not impair or affect the validity of such distributions with respect to any other Certificate. ARTICLE VI DEFICIENCY EVENTS SECTION 6.01 Occurrence; Trustee's Determinations. Upon the occurrence of a Deficiency event, the Trustee shall, promptly after the Distribution Date on which such Deficiency Event occurs, determine whether or not the application on a monthly basis of all future distributions on the Mortgage Assets and other amounts receivable with respect to the Trust Fund towards distributions on the Multi-Class Certificates in accordance with the priorities as to distributions of principal set forth in such Certificates and Article XI will result in the retirement of the entire Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of and the distribution of all interest accrued on the Multi- Class Certificates under the Maximum Rate Assumption, if applicable. In making any such determination, the Trustee shall ignore all Initial Reduction Dates and, except for the Final Scheduled Distribution Date applicable to the Class or Classes of Multi-Class Certificates having the latest Final Scheduled Distribution Date, all Final Scheduled Distribution Dates, to the effect that a positive determination under this Section 6.01 can be made if the Trustee can determine that such distributions will be sufficient to pay interest at the applicable Interest Rates under the Maximum Rate Assumption, if applicable and to reduce the entire Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of each Certificate to zero on or before such latest Final Scheduled Distribution Date. The Trustee shall obtain and rely upon an opinion or report of a firm of Independent Accountants of nationally recognized reputation as to the sufficiency of the amounts receivable with respect to the Trust Fund to make such distributions in reduction of Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of and interest on the Multi-Class Certificates, which opinion or report shall be conclusive evidence as to such sufficiency. Pending the making of any determination pursuant to this Section 6.01, distributions on the Multi-Class Certificates shall continue to be made in accordance with Articles I and III. As promptly as practicable following any determination pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Trustee shall notify all Holders of Certificates as to such determination and the effect thereof upon future distributions on the Certificates as set forth in Sections 6.02 and 6.03. SECTION 6.02 Distributions Upon a Determination of Sufficiency. In the event that the Trustee shall have made a positive determination pursuant to Section 6.01 (a "Determination of Sufficiency"), the Trustee shall, beginning on the first Deficiency Distribution Date which occurs more than ten days subsequent to the date upon which the Trustee made such Determination of Sufficiency, withdraw from the Certificate Account on each Deficiency Distribution Date all amounts at the time held therein (after any withdrawal as provided in the following paragraph) and shall distribute such amounts to Holders of Multi-Class Certificates as of the related Special Record Date in accordance with the priorities and allocations as to principal and interest set forth below in this Section 6.02. In the event that the Accretion Termination Date has not occurred with respect to a Class of Compound Interest Certificates, interest accrued but not required to be distributed on such Class shall be added to the Compound Value of each Certificate of such Class in the same manner as prior to the occurrence of the Deficiency Event. Each such monthly distribution on a Deficiency Distribution Date shall be made without regard to any calculations as to the Multi-Class Distribution Amount and, so long as such monthly distributions continue pursuant to this Section 6.02, no withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall be made for the purpose of distributions to Holders of Residual Certificates until either such Deficiency Event is declared to be not continuing pursuant to the following paragraph or until the Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of all Multi-Class Certificates has been reduced to zero. All amounts available for distribution from the Certificate Account on each Deficiency Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be applied, first, to the payment of all interest accrued but undistributed on the Multi-Class Certificates to [the Designated Interest Accrual Date with respect to] such Deficiency Distribution Date (other than accrued interest on any Class of Compound Interest Certificates for which the Accretion Termination Date has not yet occurred) and, second, to the reduction of the Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Outstanding Multi-Class Certificates in the order of priority set forth in Article I. In the event that, subsequent to the making of any distribution on a Deficiency Distribution Date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date, the Trustee determines (and a firm of Independent Accountants of nationally recognized reputation confirms) that: (i) it could make a Determination of Sufficiency pursuant to Section 6.01 which included taking into consideration the making of distributions on the basis specified in Article I as well as all applicable Initial Reduction Dates and Final Scheduled Distribution Dates and (ii) the Asset Value of all Mortgage Asset Groups as of the related Principal Determination Date is greater than the Aggregate Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Multi-Class Certificates (after giving effect to the distribution in reduction of Stated Principal Balance made on such Deficiency Distribution Date), the Trustee shall notify all Certificateholders and declare such Deficiency Event to no longer be continuing and resume distributions on the Certificates (including, to the extent applicable, Residual Certificates) as provided herein on each Distribution Date as if no such Deficiency Event had occurred. SECTION 6.03 Distributions Upon a Determination of Insufficiency. In the event that the Trustee shall have made a negative determination pursuant to Section 6.01 (a "Determination of Insufficiency"), the Trustee shall, beginning on the first Deficiency Distribution Date that occurs more than ten days subsequent to the date upon which the Trustee made such Determination of Insufficiency, withdraw from the Certificate Account on each Deficiency Distribution Date all amounts at the time held therein and shall distribute such amounts to the Holders of Multi-Class Certificates in the following order and priorities: First: To the payment of amounts then accrued and undistributed on all Multi-Class Certificates (including any Compound Interest Certificates) for interest on the Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of each such Certificate at the Highest Interest Rate (notwithstanding the Interest Rate borne by such Multi-Class Certificate) from the date with respect to which interest on such Certificate was last distributed or in the case of any Compound Interest Certificates, added to the Compound Value thereof) to such Deficiency Distribution Date; and Second: To the reduction of the Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of each Multi-Class Certificate, ratably among all Multi-Class Certificates, without preference or priority of any kind and without regard to the sequence in which the distribution in reduction of Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of Multi-Class Certificates is otherwise paid. Each such monthly distribution on a Deficiency Distribution Date shall be made without regard to any calculations as to the Multi-Class Certificate Distribution Amount and, so long as such monthly distributions continue pursuant to this Section 6.02, no withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall be made for the purpose of distributions to Holders of Residual Certificates until the Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of all Multi-Class Certificates has been reduced to zero. So long as distributions on Multi-Class Certificates are being made pursuant to this Section 6.03, the Holders of Multi-Class Certificates representing more than 50% of the Aggregated Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of all Classes of the Multi-Class Certificates may direct the Trustee to sell the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 6.04, any such direction being irrevocable and binding (subject, however, to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.04) upon the Holders of all such Multi-Class Certificates as well as upon the Holders of all Residual Certificates. Pending any such sale, monthly distributions shall continue to be made on the Multi-Class Certificates on each Deficiency Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 6.03. In the absence of such a direction, the Trustee shall not sell all or a portion of the Trust Fund. SECTION 6.04 Sale of Trust Fund. Upon receipt of a direction for the sale of the Trust Fund from Holders of Multi-Class Certificates representing more than 50% of the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all Classes of the Multi-Class Certificates, the Trustee shall proceed to sell the Trust Fund in one or more separate, private or public sales, the method, manner, time, place and terms of any such sale being in the sole discretion of the Trustee, provided that: (a) any such sale shall be conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and (b) except as hereinafter provided: (i) any such sale and the distribution of the proceeds thereof to Holders of the Certificates shall be conducted in such a manner as to constitute a "qualified liquidation" for purposes of Section 860F(a)(4)(A) of the Code and (ii) there shall have been delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel with respect to such proposed sale and the distribution of the proceeds thereof to Certificateholders, stating that such sale will not disqualify the Trust Fund as a REMIC under the Code. In the event that there shall be delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the net proceeds of any sale of the Trust Fund after payment of all taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code would not be less than the amount that would be distributable to the Holders of the Multi-Class Certificates pursuant to Section 16.03 on the next Deficiency Distribution Date following such sale, then clause (ii) of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence shall be inapplicable to such sale. The proceeds of any such sale (after reimbursement to the Trustee of its reasonable expenses and disbursements) shall be distributed promptly to Holders of Multi-Class Certificates upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency specified in the notice to the Holders of the Certificates of such final distribution. Such proceeds shall be applied in the order and priority set forth in Section 16.03 for monthly distributions thereunder. In the event that proceeds remaining after the retirement of the Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of each Multi-Class Certificate together with accrued and undistributed interest thereon at the Highest Interest Rate, such remaining net proceeds shall be distributed to Holders of Residual Certificates in accordance with the respective Percentage Interests evidenced thereby upon presentation and surrender of such Residual Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained pursuant to Article I.

(a) If so specified in Article I, the Trustee shall establish, on or before the Delivery Date, one or more accounts collectively designated as the GPM Fund.

Monies shall be subject to withdrawal pursuant to Subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 7.01. (b) Upon Depositor Request, all or a portion of the GPM Fund shall be invested and reinvested at the direction of the Depositor in one or more Eligible Investments. If the Depositor shall not have given any direction pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), the GPM Fund shall be invested and reinvested by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.05, as fully as practicable in such manner as the Trustee shall from time to time determine in its sole discretion, but only in one or more Eligible Investments. All income or other gain from such investments shall be credited to such GPM Fund and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to such GPM Fund. The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency of such GPM Fund resulting from any loss of investment in any Eligible Investment. (c) If any amounts of investments as provided in Section 7.01(b) shall be needed for disbursement from the GPM Fund as set forth in Section 7.01(d), the Trustee shall cause a sufficient amount of such investments to be sold or otherwise converted to cash to the credit of such GPM Fund. The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of the inability of the Trustees to make any required payment from the GPM Fund because of any insufficiency of such GPM Fund either resulting from any loss of investment in any Eligible Investment or resulting from disbursements made pursuant to Section 7.01(d). (d) Disbursements from the GPM Fund shall be made, to the extent funds therefore are available, pursuant to instructions contained in the Distribution Date Statements prepared in accordance with Section 7.07. (e) The amount required to be maintained in the GPM Fund as of any date shall be an amount equal to the greater of the remaining aggregate of GPM Shortfalls for all GPM Assets (when taken together with Reinvestment Income thereon at the applicable Assumed Reinvestment Rate if the GPM Fund is funded with a Letter of Credit) or the aggregate of GPM Prepayment Shortfalls with respect to such GPM Assets. Upon receipt by the Trustee of an Accountants' Certificate to the effect that with respect to all of the GPM Assets, the amount required to be maintained in the GPM Fund at such time, pursuant to this Section 7.01, is less than the amount of such GPM Fund then held by the Trustee, the Trustee shall on the next succeeding Distribution Date pay to the Holders of the Residual Certificates an amount equal to the difference between the amount of such GPM Fund then held by the Trustee and the amount set forth in such Accountants' Certificate. SECTION 7.02 Reserve Fund. (a) If so specified in Article I, the Trustee shall establish, on or before the Delivery Date, one ore more accounts designated as the Reserve Fund. All monies received by the Trustee pursuant to Article I with respect to the Reserve Fund, together with any Eligible Investments in which such monies are or will be invested or reinvested during the term of this Agreement, and any income or other gain realized from such investment shall be held by the Trustee in the Reserve Fund as part of the Trust subject to disbursement and withdrawal as herein provided. Monies shall be subject to withdrawal pursuant to Subsection (d) of this Section 7.02. (b) Upon Depositor Request all or a portion of the Reserve Fund shall be invested and reinvested at the Depositor's direction in one or more Eligible Investments. If the Depositor shall not have given any directions pursuant to this Section 7.02(b), the Reserve Fund shall be invested and reinvested by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.05, as fully as practicable, in such manner as the Trustee shall from time to time determine in its sole discretion, but only in one or more Eligible Investments. All income or other gain from such investments shall be credited to such Reserve Fund and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to such Reserve Fund. The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency of such Reserve Fund resulting from any loss of investment in any Eligible Investment.

The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of the inability of the Trustee to make any required payment from such Reserve Fund because of any insufficiency of such Reserve Fund either resulting from any loss of investment in any Eligible Investment or resulting from disbursements made pursuant to Section 7.02(d). (d) Disbursements from the Reserve Fund shall be made, to the extent funds therefor are available, pursuant to instructions contained in the Distribution Date Statements prepared in accordance with Section 7.07. Upon receipt by the Trustee of an Accountants' Certificate to the effect that the amount required to be maintained in the Reserve Fund as of the next succeeding Distribution Date is less than the amount of such Reserve Fund then held by the Trustee, the Trustee shall on the next succeeding Distribution Date pay to the Holders of the Residual Certificates an amount equal to any excess over such required amount. SECTION 7.03 Buy-Down Fund. (a) If so specified in Article I, the Trustee shall establish, on or before the Delivery Date, one or more accounts designated as the Buy-Down Fund. All monies received by the Trustee pursuant to Article I with respect to the Buy-Down Fund, together with any Eligible Investments in which such monies are or will be invested or reinvested during the term of this Agreement, and any income or other gain realized from such investment shall be held by the Trustee in the Buy-Down Fund as part of the Trust subject to disbursement and withdrawal as herein provided. Monies shall be subject to withdrawal pursuant to Subsection (d) of this Section 7.03. (b) Upon Depositor Request, all or a portion of the Buy-Down Fund shall be invested and reinvested at the Depositor's direction in one or more Eligible Investments. If the Depositor shall not have given any directions pursuant to this Section 7.03 (b), the Buy-Down Fund shall be invested and reinvested by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.05, as fully as practicable, in such manner as the Trustee shall from time to time determine in its sole discretion, but only in one or more Eligible Investments. All income or other gain from such investments shall be credited to such Buy-Down Fund and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to such Buy-Down Fund. The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency of such Buy-Down Fund resulting from any loss of investment in any Eligible Investment. (c) If any amounts invested as provided in Section 7.03(b) shall be needed for disbursement from the Buy-Down Fund as set forth in Section 7.03(d), the Trustee shall cause a sufficient amount of such investments of such Buy-Down Fund to be sold or otherwise converted to cash to the credit of such Buy-Down Fund. The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of the inability of the Trustee to make any required payment from such Buy-Down Fund because of any insufficiency of such Buy-Down Fund either resulting from any loss of investment in any Eligible Investment or resulting from disbursements made pursuant to Section 7.03(d). (d) Disbursements from the Buy-Down Fund shall be made, to the extent funds therefor are available, pursuant to instructions contained in the Distribution Date Statements prepared in accordance with Section 7.07.

SECTION 7.04 Certificate Account. (a) The Trustee shall, prior to the Delivery Date, establish the Certificate Account into which the Trustee shall from time to time deposit all Asset Proceeds and all proceeds transferred from the GPM Fund, the Reserve Fund or Buy-Down Fund.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, investments of funds held by the Trustee under the Agreement shall be made pursuant to any applicable Reinvestment Agreements to the extent provided in such agreements, and the Trustee shall deposit funds as required by any such Reinvestment Agreements to the extent provided in such agreements, and the Trustee shall deposit funds as required by any such Reinvestment Agreements. No change shall be made in the terms and conditions of any such Reinvestment Agreements if such change would result in the Rating Agency lowering the outstanding rating of the Certificates. (b) Each Account shall relate solely to the Certificates with respect to which it was established and to the Mortgage Assets and other property which make up the Trust Fund. The Trustee may hold any funds or other property received or held by it as part of an Account in collective amounts maintained by it in the normal course of its business and containing funds or property held by it for other Persons, provided that such Accounts are under the sole control of the Trustee and the Trustee maintains adequate records indicating the ownership of all such funds or property and the portions thereof held for credit to each Account.

(e) The Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any account or fund except for losses on investments which are liabilities of the Trustee. (f) All investments of funds in an account or fund and all sales of investments held in an account or fund shall, except as provided below, be made by the Trustee in accordance with a Depositor Request.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Trustee is required to distribute to the registered Holder of this Certificate, but only out of the distributions received with respect to the Trust Fund and only to the extent such distributions are adequate for such purpose, the Stated Principal Balance of __________ Dollars in [quarterly] installments on __________, _________, ____________ and _________________ (the "Distribution Dates") in each year, commencing no later than the Final Scheduled Distribution Date of any Class of Multi-Class Certificates having any earlier Final Scheduled Distribution Date and ending on or before ____________, _____ (the "Final Scheduled Distribution Date") of this Certificate and interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) [quarterly] [monthly] on such Distribution Dates at the rate of ____ percent (____%) per annum, in an amount equal to the interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of this Certificate (including in such unpaid principal balance the amount, if any, of interest accrued but not distributed on this Certificate and added to the Stated Principal Balance hereof as described below) during the [three]-month period ending [one month prior to] [on] each such Distribution Date (each such period being hereinafter referred to as an "Accrual Period") or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, in an amount equal to the interest accrued from the Accrual Date set forth above to _________ ____, 200_. Prior to the Distribution Date on which all Classes of Multi-Class Certificates having an earlier Final Scheduled Distribution Date have been paid in full (the "Accretion Termination Date") for this Certificate, interest on this Certificate shall not be distributable to the holder of this Certificate but shall instead accrue from the Interest Accrual Date at the rate stated above. On each Distribution Date prior to the Accretion Termination Date, an amount equal to the interest accrued on the Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of this Certificate (including in such Outstanding Stated Principal Balance any interest accrued but not distributable on this Certificate) during the immediately preceding Interest Accrual Period shall be added to the Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of this Certificate. [Interest accrued on this Certificate in any Interest Accrual Period will be calculated on the assumption that any distribution in respect of the Stated Principal Balance made with respect to this Certificate any accrued interest added to the outstanding principal balance of this Certificate on a Distribution Date that occurs during such Interest Accrual Period was instead made and/or added one month prior to such Distribution Date.] Installments of the Stated Principal Balance of this Certificate will be distributable in the amounts and on the dates described on the reverse hereof. Distributions in respect of the Stated Principal Balance of and interest on this Certificate are payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All distributions made by the Trustee with respect to this Certificate shall be applied first to interest accrued on this Certificate as provided above and then to the reduction of the Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of this Certificate. Except as provided on the reverse hereof, any installment of principal or interest that is not distributed when and as due shall accrue interest at the rate at which interest accrues on the principal balance of this Certificate from the date due to the date of distribution thereof. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. Unless the certificate of authentication hereof has been executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed under its official seal. Dated: _________________________________ as Trustee [SEAL] By:______________________________ Authorized Officer (d) The form of the reverse of all Multi-Class Certificates which do not include any Variable Rate Certificate is as follows: This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Conduit Mortgage Pass-through Certificates, Series ___ (herein collectively called the "Multi-Class Certificates"), issued in ______ Classes (Classes ___, ___, ____, and ___) under the Agreement. The aggregate amount of distributions in respect of the Stated Principal Balance of the Multi-Class Certificates on each Distribution Date is equal to the lesser of: (i) funds remaining in the Certificate Account on such Distribution Date after the subtraction of an amount equal to the amount distributable as interest on all classes of Multi-Class Certificates on such Distribution Date (the "Interest Distribution Amounts") and (ii) the Multi-Class Certificate Distribution Amount with respect to such Distribution Date. Such distributions are distributable [pro rata amount the Multi-Class Certificates of all Classes.] [_____% to the Certificates of Class ____ and ____% to the Multi-Class Certificates of Class ____.] [The amount distributable on the Certificates on any Distribution Date is distributable first on the Multi-Class Certificates of Class ____, until distributions in respect of the entire Stated Principal Balance of such Class ____ Certificates have been made. On the Stated Distribution Date on which the entire Stated Principal Balance of the Class ____ Certificates has been retired, any remaining amounts required to be distributed on such Distribution Date in respect of such Stated Principal Balance of the Multi-Class Certificates shall be distributed on the Class ____ Certificates. Thereafter, all amounts required to be distributed on each Distribution Date in respect of such Stated Principal Balance of the Multi-Class Certificates shall continue to be distributed as principal of the Class ____ Certificates until the entire Stated Principal Balance thereof has been distributed. Distributions in respect of the Stated Principal Balance of the remaining Classes of Certificates shall be made in a similar manner, with the required Stated Principal Distribution Amount on each Distribution Date always being applied first to the reduction of the Aggregate Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the then Outstanding Class of the Multi-Class Certificates having the earliest Final Scheduled Distribution Date of all Multi-Class Certificates then Outstanding.] Distributions in respect of the Stated Principal Balance of a Class of Multi-Class Certificates shall in all cases be made pro rata among all Outstanding Multi-Class Certificates of such Class, without preference or priority of any kind. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agreement provides that a Deficiency Event thereunder will occur, if: (i) there are insufficient amounts in the Certificate Account on any Distribution Date to distribute to Holders of Multi-Class Certificates all Interest Distribution Amounts and the Principal Distribution Amount, (ii) the entire Stated Principal Balance of each Class of Multi-Class Certificates shall not have been completely distributed on or before the Final Scheduled Distribution Date for such Class or (iii) with respect to each Class of Multi-Class Certificates that is still Outstanding on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date of any Class of Multi-Class Certificates having an earlier Final Scheduled Distribution Date, an installment of principal shall not have been distributed by such date. Distribution of the then remaining undistributed Stated Principal Balance of this Multi-Class Certificate on its Final Scheduled Distribution Date or on such earlier date as payments received with respect to the assets included in the Trust Fund are required to be distributed with respect to the then remaining Stated Principal Balance of this Multi-Class Certificate, or payment of the Termination Price payable on the Optional Termination Date, shall be made only upon presentation of this Certificate to the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose. Distributions in respect of interest on this Certificate on each Distribution Date, together with any installment of the Stated Principal Balance of this Certificate on such Date, and any Special Distribution required to be made on this Certificate on any Special Distribution Date to the extent distribution is not made in full of the Stated Principal Balance of this Certificate, shall be made by check mailed to the Person whose name appears as the registered Holder of this Certificate (or one or more predecessor Certificates) on the Certificate Register as of the Record Date preceding such Distribution Date or such Special Distribution Date. Checks for amounts that include distributions in respect of the Stated Principal Balance of this Certificate shall be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it appears on the Certificate Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this Certificate be submitted for notation of payment and checks returned undelivered will be held for payment to the Person entitled thereto, subject to the terms of the Agreement, at the office or agency in the United States of America designated for such purpose pursuant to the Agreement. Any reduction in the Stated Principal Balance of this Certificate (or any one or more predecessor Certificates) effected by any distributions made on any Distribution Date, Special Distribution Date or Deficiency Distribution Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Certificate and of any Multi-Class Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Agreement, to make a distribution in full of the then remaining undistributed Stated Principal Balance of this Certificate on a Distribution date or Special Distribution Date that is prior to the Final Scheduled Distribution Date, then the Trustee will notify the Person who was the registered Holder hereof on the ____ day of the month [prior to the month] in which such Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date occurs, by notice mailed no later than the ____ day of such month, and the amount then distributable shall, if sufficient funds therefor are available, be distributable only upon presentation of this Certificate to the office or agency maintained for such purpose. Any portion of any installment in respect of the Stated Principal Balance of or interest on this Certificate that was distributable but was not distributed or duly provided for on a Distribution Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Person who was the registered Holder of this Certificate on the applicable Record Date, and shall be distributed, in whole or in part, to the extent funds are available for such payment, on each Deficiency Distribution Date thereafter until all such overdue amounts are paid or duly provided for, to the Person in whose name this Certificate (or one or more predecessor Certificates) is registered on the Record Date applicable to each such Deficiency Distribution Date or at any other time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Certificates may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Agreement. If a Deficiency Event, as defined in the Agreement and as described above, shall occur and be continuing, the Agreement provides that, to the extent distributions are being made as described in the penultimate sentence of this paragraph, the Holders of Multi-Class Certificates aggregating not less than 50% of the Aggregate Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of each Class thereof may direct the Trustee to see the Trust Fund in the manner and subject to the conditions described in the Agreement. In such event, the net proceeds of such sale would be distributed as a final distribution on the Multi-Class Certificates and Holders thereof may receive less than, but in no event more than, the undistributed Stated Principal Balance thereof and undistributed Interest thereon to the date [one more prior to the date] of such final distribution. The Agreement also provides that, notwithstanding the occurrence of a Deficiency Event, under certain circumstances specified in the Agreement, all amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust Fund or otherwise shall continue to be applied to monthly distributions in respect of the Stated Principal Balance of and interest on the Multi-Class Certificates in the same order of priority as if such Deficiency Event had not occurred. In all other circumstances, following the occurrence of a Deficiency Event, all amounts collected as proceeds of the Trust Fund or otherwise shall be distributed monthly pro rata among all Multi-Class Certificates, without preference or priority, first as distributions of interest and then as distributions in reduction of such Stated Principal Balance. In such event, interest on the then Outstanding Stated Principal Balance of this Certificate shall accrue at the Highest Interest Rate. As provided in the Agreement and only under special circumstances specified therein, the principal of the Multi-Class Certificates is subject to being fully paid pursuant to Special Distribution at 100% of the Outstanding Stated Principal Balance thereof to be so retired by such Special Distribution (including interest accrued but not distributed on a Class of Compound Interest Certificates and added to the Stated Principal Balance thereof) together with undistributed interest distributions on such Principal Balance to be so retired from the end of the preceding Interest Accrual Period (or the Accrual Date if no Distribution Date has yet occurred) to the date [one month prior to the date] of such Special Distribution. Any such Special Distribution with respect to the Multi-Class Certificates will be made on the applicable Special Distribution Date and in the manner hereinabove set forth. As provided in the Agreement, all Special Distributions will be in the same proportions and on the same priorities as hereinabove set forth for distributions of principal on a Distribution Date. If provision is made for a Special Distribution in respect of the Stated Principal Balance of this Certificate in accordance with the Agreement, the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of this Certificate retired in such Special Distribution shall thereupon cease to accrue interest from and after the date [one month prior to the date] set for such distribution. The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon distribution to Certificate holders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement following the later of: (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Certificate subject thereto, and (ii) the repurchase by the Depositor from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Depositor to repurchase all remaining Mortgage Certificates at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect Optional Termination, but the Seller's right to repurchase such remaining Mortgage Certificates may not be exercised prior to: (a) the time that the aggregate Mortgage Asset Amount is less than ___% of the Aggregate Mortgage Asset Amount at the Closing Date or (b) ________________ ____, 20__. In the event of such a Termination, the amount distributable to the Holder of a Multi-Class Certificate will be ___% of the Stated Principal Balance thereof together with accrued interest to [the date one month prior to] the Distribution Date on which the proceeds of such repurchase are required to be distributed. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate may be registered on the Certificate Register, upon surrender of this Certificate for registration or transfer at the office or agency of the Trustee designated for that purpose pursuant to the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Multi-Class Certificates of the same Class, of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate initial principal balance, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Certificate, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered: (i) on any Record Date, for purposes of making distributions, and (ii) on any other date for any other purpose, as the owner hereof, whether or not any distribution required to be made on this Certificate shall be overdue, and neither the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee and the Seller and the rights of the Holders of the Certificates under the Agreement at any time by the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class, voting as a Class, evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights of such Class and, as to Residual Certificates, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66 2/3%. Any such consent by the Holder, at the time of the giving thereof, of this Certificate (or any one or more predecessor Certificates) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Multi-Class Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment or waiver of certain terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement without the consent of Holders of any Multi-Class Certificates issued thereunder. The Multi-Class Certificates are issuable only in registered form in denominations as provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. The Multi-Class Certificates are exchangeable for a like Aggregate Initial Stated Principal Balance of Multi-Class Certificates of the same Class of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering same. The Trustee has executed this Certificate solely as trustee under the Agreement and the Trustee shall be liable hereunder only in respect of the assets of the Trust Fund created by such Agreement. The remedies of the Holder hereof as provided herein, or in the Agreement, shall be cumulative and concurrent but may be pursued solely against the assets of the Trust Fund. No failure on the part of the Holder in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as waiver or release thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy hereunder. As provided in the Agreement, this Certificate and the Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed therein. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed under its official seal.
